My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Full of mystery, intrigue, adventure and more this fourth installment really blew me out of the water. Much like the three previous books in this series you could read this as a standalone, however in doing so I believe you would miss out on some great adventures and of course more background on some of out favorite characters. Personally while the previous three were great I loved the adventure in this one. Full of murder, sabotage, danger and more this faced paced novel will definitely keep you on your toes.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stitch by Stitch was not as “fast moving” as I had hoped it would be, yet it managed to keep my attention from start to finish. Elizabeth as a character was real and relatable as she tried to do what was best for her kids and readjust to life. The author’s rich character development and attention to detail really made you feel like you knew the characters on a personal level. This is probably what I liked most about the novel! The author manages to pull in humor with real life scenarios all while throwing murder and the obvious mystery element without the book feeling sloppy or unreasonable.
I would definitely recommend Stitch by Stitch and hope to read more of this author in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unexpected Outcomes is the 4th book in the Notebook Mysteries series. I love reading this series, the books are full of adventure and mystery. This book continued building on the same characters, with the focus on Emma and Jeremy. I like that it spent quite a bit of time on their parents and building the history of Cole, Ellis and Abbey. They have an interesting past, and I was happy to see it come full circle. The ending was a bit abrupt for my liking, so I hope there is another book to come. I wish the final chapter was an epilogue with a bit more detail to it. This book had a lot of cases involved, so it moves around quite a bit. However, they all tie together due to Emma and Jeremy and their family. The series gives us a view into the previous century, but I’m not sure how accurate it is. They send a lot of telegrams and send for carriages often, which I anticipate would be quite costly in that era. I also don’t think the police would have been so accepting in having a female civilian being part of their cases, interviewing their suspects, etc. But aside from that, I love the story and series.

Book 3 in the series brings more mysteries. Whereever Emma seems to go, Emma’s power of observation allows her to see things that others don’t. The series continues as Emma has now established herself as a strong investigator. This round she helps to find missing children, paintings, and solve the case of murdered husband. This book delves further into the complexities of being a woman in a man’s world. I really enjoyed how Emma is written in such a way that she exudes confidence and captures the attention and respect of everyone she speaks to.

She is a bad A woman all on her own, she needs no one. Lisette grew up under the shadow of not only her other brother but her father who was labeled a traitor because he killed the King.

How can someone who doesn’t actually possess magic have any chance against someone who does? The further she makes it towards her goal, the more she has to lose. How far will she go?

Once again the book begins with stories from years prior. Emma is now becoming firmly established as her own detective and works with her sister and other friends to build and solve cases. I really enjoyed this book and found it was written better than the firs; the author finding her voice in the series. Emma is a wonderful and strong female lead who continues to show that woman can do anything. This point in further proven in both of the main cases. Entertaining quick read that is a wonderful continuation of the first book but can also be read as a stand alone.

Ashes of Sin and Stardust is probably the best book I have read in a long, long time. Yes, it sinfully steamy and yummy in ALL the right ways…. but, it is more than that. It just opens the dark side of life with mental illness. The characters are just so real and just make you fall in love with them, flaws and all. TRIGGER WARNING: This book is dark and honest! But it so completely worth the read! Bravo!!

Book 4 of this series has been my favorite so far!!! Emma and Jeremy have been tasked with taking down a ring of robbers. They are responsible for bringing back the jewels from Tiffany & Co to the museum for an exhibit but they know that evil is lurking at every corner. On top of that, there is a murder to try to solve too.

This read holds a lot of excitement and mystery!! I love seeing Emma mature and how she is handling what could be a most difficult situation in this particular story. Can the relationship she has with Jeremy be sustained given the current circumstances??

You’ll have to read to find out!

Another great book in the series. This book feels more mature than the previous three and Emma is really starting to grow. She has always been someone that made hasty decisions without others feelings and she is learning not to do that. This book focused on one major mystery which I really enjoyed because it also allowed character development for the other characters as well. This book did brings twists but was well written. Again, this book can be read as a stand alone book but the others help this book to be elevated to what it is.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emma is a young 18 year old lady who has a love for sleuthing! She’s always looking for a way to help out others and wants desperately to be recognized as a female sleuth back in a time (1800’s) when it wasn’t acceptable to women to work outside the home. She has some decisions to make about the men in her life and she’s not quite sure which one to choose. It will determine how her life could turn out after all! Life is also full of possibilities and Emma is excited about the prospects for her future.

This book can be read as a stand-alone but I do recommend reading in order. I am currently reading these books out of order and there are portions that are a bit confusing to me. However, the story is very well written and I do enjoy seeing what Emma is getting into!

Fairly Royal

5*

Phillip is the Earl of Auburne and he has sworn of all women. Well, officially he has sworn off dating, but in his world this means that he has sworn off all women. By not dating, this, by default, makes him an incredibly eligible bachelor. This also means that the paparazzi and all women find him desirable – which means he ends up as tabloid fodder frequently. In an attempt to make the paparazzi leave him alone, he decides to find a girlfriend. I mean, if you give them what they want they have to leave you alone right? The only girl that he knows that might actually go for this idea also happens to be his best friend’s little sister. They both have no idea what to expect when they begin this “relationship” But Anna sets forth rules for the both of them to follow. These rules are meant for their relationship seem real. What Phillip can’t anticipate is that while being a make believe couple, he will develop very real feelings for Anna. However, Phillip has learned over the years that both the paparazzi and tabloids make a real relationship impossible. What he is developing with his feelings makes him want to try to be real. He can only hope that this time will be different.
This book is such a fun easy read. I love that it takes both the eligible bachelor idea and combines it with the idea of a fake romance that develops feelings. The characters are very real and lovable and the plot moves at a fantastic pace. If you are looking for an easy romance to read with some great characters this is the perfect book for you!

I have read every book in this series and I think this one is my favorite! Notebook Mysteries: Unexpected Outcomes starts right out with the action. Emma and Jeremy start the book by getting into a train crash while in the midst of pursuing a crime. As they get help and return to their case they find themselves with more issues. Emma has to juggle more cases with meeting her partner/fiance’s (Jeremy) mother Abbey. Abbey also happens to have a bit of a history with Emma’s father. Emma takes it all in stride while continuing to be her strong, courageous self. I love Kimberly Mullins’s writing! This book has her signature strong plot and well-written characters. It is wonderfully fast-paced and adventurous!

This book had me hooked. This is definitely made for mature readers and has some triggers throughout the story. Ruben and Alice have been through so much and they are trying to navigate through those feelings. There are quite a few characters in this story and each of them connect to each other in some way and they all have their own story. I loved the camaraderie between these characters. There are plenty of steamy scenes, funny moments, heartache, and so much more. The author made me feel all the emotions while reading this well written story. I look forward to reading more stories by this author. I recommend this book.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Changes and Challenges (Notebook Mysteries book #3)Notebook Mysteries ~ Changes and Challenges by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emma is a young, upstanding girl in the 1880s but she’s also determined. Determined to help women be equal. Determined to solve crimes. And determined to do what she can to make a difference. In Changes & Challenges, Emma’s adventures continue.

In this book, the third installment, Emma is contacted by a client’s lawyer about the reading of a will. Faced with a decision to take on an inheritance, she sets up a meeting to determine if this new development is helpful for business.

When a trip to New York is inevitable, Jeremy and Emma find themselves inseparable and upon returning feel like they can’t be apart. However, in 1885, there aren’t many things a young couple can manage easily.

As life happens, so do varying cases that deal in mystery, murder, kidnapping and drugs. As things unfold, Emma finds herself in Paris with Tony for a case. She will have to use all of her skills and knowledge to safely navigate everything thrown her way.

In this book 3, the reader is still approached in third person, as if the story is told from another perspective. The consistency between the previous books into this one is appreciated as it can get difficult to keep up with a third person view in the way this is written.

One strong difference I felt in this book was the detail. In the previous book, I felt detail was lacking and could be improved upon using the Narrator and Dear-One, however, this book has strong detail throughout and the storyline is well thought out.

I’m still fascinated by the concept of the journals reliving the cases, and I will continue reading more of the series as I can. If you choose to pick it up, reading the books in order works best to capture the information on the characters the best, but it’s far from necessary.

Book 4 starts us with Emma in 1887. Jeremy and Emma am start off immediately chasing bank robbers after a train wreck is used to help them escape and as usual death and mystery are in the air.

Once they’ve solved one mystery and return home there’s a bit of downtime, however, Emma is determined to not let normal life bring her down. Constantly searching for the next case, Emma searches the newspaper eagerly. Soon she’s got her hands full with one case and needs help with a second case that’s unfolding.

As usual, nothing is ever as it seems and Emma and Jeremy are left wondering if anything around them is what it appears.

Unexpected Outcomes is book 4 in the series and just like before, it all flows together. I feel like the reader can get more insight into what/who the Narrator might be, and just how strongly they (Narrator) follow along with the cases.

The story is strong in detail right from the start and definitely pulls your attention easily. I felt that the length worked well with the amount of cases and detail the author worked in and I’m excited for the next installment!

Blood Sector (V-Clan Book 1) by Lexi C. Foss – Review by Vanessa Watts

Blood Sector (V-Clan #1)Blood Sector by Lexi C. Foss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading the plot of the story makes you want to hate Kieran and meeting him is much the same. But as all good authors due Ms. Foss has woven a tale of characters who are multidimensional and complex. Until you peel back the layers you never really know who you’ll love and who you’ll hate.

Quinn is an unmated Omega who desires to choose her own mate and find someone worthy of protecting the secrets she carries along with her. Enter Kieran the one alpha prince not chasing after her hand making him the perfect choice for a mate. Only Quinn doesn’t want him as a mate but needs him for something else he possesses and for his ability to run the blood sector. Can they move past the distrust in each other to fully mate and rule as king and queen? Or are there ulterior motives behind Kieran’s actions that may put all Quinn holds dear at risk?

This book had me on the edge of my seat from the very first page. You don’t know until the end, as the story unfolds, who is the bad guy and who is pulling the chains. Who is keeping all the secrets and playing a game where they don’t have all of the pieces. This book is full of action, adventure, and romance with a mysterious backstory that will keep you guessing until the very end. I cannot recommend this book enough and will probably reread this book several times over because it is just that good.

The only thing I have bad to say about this is that it’s a stand-alone book and I need more of their story!

I love mystery stories. I love this type of mystery story! Emma and Jeremy are a team, not just a couple. You see that more as the story progresses that they work well together in the team manor. Emma is a courier that has a lot of various “jobs” and trains are one that cause her problems as you will see in this story.

With the help of Jeremy and her family and friends she is able to solve several cases. All while being caught in the crossfires several times of danger! Jeremy wants to change child labor at a local factory after solving a case for them. You learn to love him and his heart is in the best interest of helping others. He wants to see the best in people to.

I did like how the author tied Emma and Jeremy’s families together. Like they were truly meant to be together.

I am for sure looking forward to more from this author!

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series, I was looking forward to this fourth instalment, and I was not disappointed. I was yet again hooked from start to finish and it was lovely being back with our heroine, Emma, and Jeremy, as they go off on adventures to solve crimes and mysteries. Due to the wonderful descriptive narrative I was transported back to 1887, to Chicago, where Emma and Jeremy are chasing bank robbers. The pair get caught up in a train wreck and have to get help from a nearby town, all whilst avoiding injuries themselves. Never one to be bored, once they are home and recovered, Emma finds a new case whilst looking through the newspaper. When a second case turns up Jeremy steps in, but they soon become entangled in each other’s cases. Whilst Emma’s case involves a missing husband and murder, Jeremy is looking into child labour and possible sabotage. They both quickly learn that things are not as they appear in either case, and have to make tough decisions. I was fully immersed in the storyline and the plot twists kept me gripped. The story is fairly fast paced and the main characters are so well defined that Emma and Jeremy feel like old friends. I hope there will be a book five!
