Series: Henry Rios Mystery
by Author Michael Nava
The Little Death (2013)
This is one of the more unique books I've read this summer. If I hadn't been browsing the LGBT Fiction section of my local used bookstore a few weeks ago, I would've never heard of this series or author.

The book wa...
The Burning Plain (2013)
Real life took me away from this book many times over a six month period but, whereas lesser stories would have faded from memory unfinished, I never forgot that I wanted to return to this one. I just finished reading it, and I couldn’t be more excited to now count Michael Nava among my favorite...
