What Actually Happened to Isaac Moore by Samantha J. Rose
Genre – Clean, Fantasy, Romance
Page Count – 432
Cover Designer – Rebecca Barney

As a sailor whose life is centered around canvas sails and the sea, the last person Isaac ever expects to find in a fairytale is, well… himself. Yet here he stands, on the edge of the River from the storybook his mother used to read to him as a child, watching it flow from one world to another as far as his eyes can see. Adding to this absurdity, he’s been dragged here by a beautiful, green fairy with vines for hair and an explosive anger problem—yes, explosive. Also, he had to fight a vicious little old man and his air dragon to get to this point.

How much more will he have to face before he can return to his dinners of mashed potatoes and turkey? His adventure couldn’t possibly include giant worms, massive flowers with eyes, clairvoyants, shapeshifters, or that terrifying man Isaac calls Snowman…

Could it?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Revenge Never Rests (Tallie Brown Suspense Book 2) by Laurie Lewis. I loved this book just like I loved the first one. I do recommend reading the first book before this one to better understand what is happening. Its the story of Tallie Brown who is strong and independent but when she sets out to help many people who have been kidnapped or drugged she realizes she may be in over her head. With Tallie realizing she could have had a whole different life if circumstances were different in her past is hard for her to swallow. Fast paced, full of action, crime, kidnapping and intrigue keeps you flipping pages late in the night. You will root for Tallie all through this book and the adventure it takes you on is fast paced and very interesting. Do yourself a favor and read the Tallie Brown Series today!

5 Stars

 

Revenge Never Rests is the second gripping book in the Tallie Brown Suspense series by Laurie Lewis. As this story follows on from book one, I highly recommend reading Secrets Never Die before starting on this instalment.
This is a suspenseful story full of dramatic developments, intrigue, twists, action, adventure, mystery, secrets, lies, conspiracy, agendas, plots, emotion, family, friendship, tension, (clean) romance, and a quest for answers.
As I have mentioned before, I look forward to reading everything Ms. Lewis produces, and this book was no exception. This story made it so hard to choose a favourite out of all her books, leaving me no choice but to add it to my favourites.
Tallie Brown has her work cut out for her here, tracking down missing people- but with so many lies, secrets, and cover-ups- the danger mounts and stakes are raised as she embarks on her quest for answers.
Another cleverly woven and suspenseful story, and I really enjoyed how Ms. Lewis kept the tension and intrigue at such a high level the whole way through- it made for quite a gripping read. I loved the characters- they are really well-developed individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. I loved seeing them continue to develop and grow over the course of the story/series…. and seeing how well Tallie’s circle support, and work together.
Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Laurie Lewis!

I loved reading this story. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first book as it is just as great as the first. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. Her books are well written and her writing skills bring each story to life. This book is no different. The characters pulled me in from the start. I found them to be connectable and had me coming back for more. The author’s use of details made me feel as if I was part of their world. This is a fast paced, engaging story that is hard to put down. A story you don’t want to miss, a must read. There is great growth throughout the story of the plot which made the story easy to read. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Revenge Never Rests
By: Laurie Lewis

This book is the second book in the Tallie Brown series. I never read the first book before stumbling upon this book and I will say that it pretty much works as a standalone. I do highly recommend reading the first book first, only because there is a lot of backstory needed that made the first portion of the book hard for me to follow. However, once I got a grasp on the characters and their backstory, I found the book absolutely impossible to put down. As a character, I really liked Tallie. Her back story was hard to relate to at first, but she is such an interesting and complex character that I found it impossible not to root for her. I don’t want to give too much information because anything else will spoil it. Pay close attention when reading this because there are so many clues hidden throughout this book. It definitely hooked me and didn’t let me go until the next page. I can’t wait to continue reading more about these characters in upcoming books!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An entertaining read, which had me gripped from start to finish. In this page turner of a novel, Tallie Brown’s life never made sense, she was brought up in isolation by her mother, Julia. Who would take her from one third-world outpost to another, suddenly and without explanation. Life normalised for Tallie when her mother took a position on a mountaintop in the Pacific northwest. However, when Julia unexpectedly dies, Tallie soon discovers that her mother had a secret life. Meanwhile, Journalist Jackson James’s promising career ended, resulting in him working as the editor of a community rag in a posh D.C. suburb. When a lead about a potential scandal takes him to the dying Virginia coal town, Cutler’s Ridge, he meets a mysterious and beautiful woman, Tallie.
Both Tallie and Jackson are loners and do not trust easily, but as their stories become intertwined they come to the conclusion that something terrible happened in Cutler’s Ridge. There are those in the town who want the past to stay hidden, and the couple are soon threatened putting them in danger. This was a fast paced story with great characters, an atmospheric small town setting, and a storyline full of drama and suspense. The likeable and relatable Tallie was a great main character, and I liked how her relationship with Jackson developed throughout the story. The descriptive narrative brought the setting vividly to life and made me feel immersed in the storyline. An enjoyable and engaging read, which I definitely recommend.

An enjoyable and entertaining novel, which had me hooked from start to finish. Having read book one and been introduced to the main character, Tallie Brown, I was looking forward to continuing her story, and I was not disappointed. This second novel picks up where the previous one ended, so I would recommend reading them in order. Tallie was raised by a paranoid woman on the run, and having spent her life hiding from the ghosts of her mothers past, she uses her unique skills to track down those who have simply vanished. When Tallie responds to an Amber Alert for a missing girl, it leads her to discover that General Cai Kaswell, her newly discovered father, and the world’s best hope for peace is amongst the vanished.

Tallie gets drawn into a conspiracy that links her past to the string of unsolved disappearances, and her search for answers sends her around the world. Having nearly lost her trusted friends, Tallie is assigned to a charming operative, but she doesn’t fully trust them, and has to watch her own back as she searches for General Kaswell. Tallie learns that she may be the unwitting catalyst for all the disappearances, resulting in both Tallie and her father being lured into a plot that will threaten the Constitution, and the balance of world power. This is a fast paced, page turner of a story, and I was kept gripped throughout. The storyline is full of drama and suspense and the plot twists keep it from becoming predictable. I love Tallie, she’s a likeable and realistic main character, who is easy to feel engaged with. A five star read and one which I definitely recommend.

I loved the first book in this series and equally fell in love with this the second book, Revenge Never Rests. I enjoy Laurie’s writing style and her compelling way of telling a story. Her first book Secrets Never Die where we were first introduced to Tallie was one of the best suspense stories I had read this year and this one is just the same.
The interesting characters are well developed and believable and easy to like.
Will Tallie be one of the hundreds who disappeared as she finds herself drawn into this conspiracy?
This is an action-packed tale with drama, twists and turns that keep the suspense real.
Add this to your TBR list and prepare to be wowed.
No spoilers here. I really can’t say enough good things about this book except that you need to discover this gripping world that Laurie has created all by yourself.

This was such a thrill ride for me, so many dots to connect, as well as to figure out. The book takes off very quickly and often leaves you breathless. I was amazed and wowed as I read.

Continuation of the previous book, and this one does not leave you unsatisfied. This one really went above and beyond. Tallies’ story is far from over in this one. I loved her character development in this one as she figures out what happened to a loved one. This book gave a action thrill ride, great depth to everything and anything within this one. Amazing writing with the story development!

A book that really keeps you engaged. It was not short, of well anything. I was left wanting more! I loved it truly! I highly recommend this amazing book, as well as the must read author!

Oh man, book 2 of the Tallie Brown saga. Absolute heaven. It picks up where book 1 left off. I’m not going into it because it would be a spoiler. The story is well done. Our protagonists carry on and have to continue to work on their relationship as they work to solve the mystery of what happened to Tallie’s father. Who are the antagonists? Who did it? The characters are fantastic and developed so well. Again, you feel all the emotion as if you are in the story with them. The book feels like it may end there but I vote for the author to continue on with this and making it a series. I loved this and I would give the whole thing more than 5 stars if I were allowed to. Well done!!!! One of my absolute favorites of 2022.

Wow! I fell in love with this one. Life as Tallie knew it was all a deception. After the death of her mom, she set out to find out the truth. With the help of Jackson, they set out on a suspense trip that puts them in the hands of danger and mystery. Will they find the answers they look for? This author had me sitting on the edge of my seat holding my breath as I read. The suspense was palpitating. You can feel it as you’re reading. The characters are so well written and developed. You feel like you’re in the story with them. That plot, it flows smooth and the, BAM, plot twist, and back to smooth, repeat. Fantastic tale of intrigue, deception, suspense, lies. This is a must read. I would give it more than 5 stars if I were allowed. It’s that good!

Musical Murder Mystery Box Set #1. Book Review by Jennifer Ramos

Musical Murder Mystery Boxed Set #1Musical Murder Mystery Boxed Set #1 by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Montgomery brings such an original concept to a murder mystery of bringing the stage of musicals into these three fun-filled, page-turnings stories. The main character and mystery solver, Ruby, is part of a traveling musical troupe and although the casting directors may not feel as though she has leading lady material, she certainly excels in sleuthing. Aspects of these stories reminded me of Nancy Drew is how a mystery follows her and feels the need to solve the case.
During the tour of the musical, The Sound of Music, one of the casted nuns, Mother Abbess is murdered and it is up to Ruby to find out how and why. Then in West Side Murder, the traveling musical troupe end up in Florida where the mystery takes back a few years ago of a dead body found at a local retirement community’s golf course. Finally in Little Shop of Murder takes the troupe back to their hometown of Bloomington, Indiana with their production of Little Shop of Horrors and the horrors of the musical is what is feared to becoming a reality.

This box set was so much fun I devoured the whole thing before I knew it. The story lines were amazing, the characters were well developed, and of course the musical/theatre aspect if it was amazing. This whole series follows Ruby and her theatrical friends, but Ruby seems to find bodies in the most unusual places. Trust me when I say that you will have a ball following her and her friends on the journey to uncover the mystery. After reading these three I sure hope there is more because I can’t wait to see what Ruby and her friends get into next.

By: K.L. Montgomery
5*

This is such a fun box set. I love Ruby Ecco, she is such an amazing character. However, craziness and murder seem to follow her and her whole cast of musical actors and actresses.
In book 1, Ruby is reeling from the recent events. She recently was involved in a murder. However, she was not the murderer or the murdered. She was the understudy of the girl who was murdered. This made her take over the new role. She has been given a back up role for the new musical. Everyone seems to be extra worried about her right now. It doesn’t take long for her to be embroiled in another murder. Another cast member turns up dead and Ruby is called to help solve the mystery.
In book 2, Ruby and her Musical Company are now in Florida. This is awesome because Ruby is near her only family, her grandparents. However, once again where Ruby goes murder follows. Someone in the retirement community has died and no one is willing to look more indepth into the murder. Ruby wants to help solve the case, but her grandparents aren’t so sure.
In book 3, Ruby is back in her hometown. Its nice to be back home, however, she is handed a long weekend off. She is invited to attend a wedding for her boss’s nephew. However, this isn’t as innocent as it sounds. Her boss is not sure about the woman her nephew is marrying. So she is sending Ruby and her detective skills to look more into the situation.
As a musical lover, I loved these stories. I truly enjoyed reading about Ruby. She was the most relatable and lovable character I have read recently. I found myself relating to her on so many levels. Her inner dialogue reminded me of myself. I cannot recommend this boxed set, and series, to anyone! They are so fun!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Musical Murder Mystery Box Set #1 is a collection of fun cosy mysteries set around a travelling theatre troupe. I really enjoyed the first book, The Sound of Murder, so it was great to be able to read the next two as part of a box set!
This is a great series for theatre fans, particularly anyone who’s been involved in performances or dreams of going on the stage. You will most likely end up with songs from the shows stuck in your head for days after you’ve finished. Protagonist Ruby, a chorus girl with a knack for solving mysteries, likes to rewrite the lyrics of a song from the show she’s working on to help her get her head around the details of a case.
The titles of the books make it clear which musical each one is about – The Sound of Murder (The Sound of Music), West Side Murder (West Side Story) and Little Shop of Murder (Little Shope of Horrors). I like how the stories tie in with the musicals the troupe is performing – my favourite is West Side Murder where there’s a longstanding feud between different sections of a retirement community.
This box set gets five stars from me! It would be a great collection to bring on holiday, or read backstage while you’re waiting for your next scene…

This author has a way of writing about females who are not the public’s idea of perfect and makes them full of body positivity. I love that! Each book can be read as a standalone but I really enjoyed reading them in order. The series star is Ruby Ecco as she travels around the world with a touring theatre group. Ruby has the amazing ability to find clues for murders and she helps solve them. In the first book The Sound of Murder they travel to Asheville, North Carolina and visit the Biltmore Mansion. They are preforming a musical and its got catchy songs. The Second book is West Side Murder. This book sends us to Florida where Ruby gets to visit her grandparents while she is there for the show. The third book is Little Shop of Murder and it takes place during her boss’s nephews wedding and she is to attend as a spy. All of these books are fun, funny and just a great time. Do yourself a favor and read these fun books today!

This is a three book set – fun musical mysteries with likeable characters! I found myself singing my way through each story! Ruby is part of a musical theater troupe that travels and performs. The trouble is wherever she goes, she has a mystery to solve. In book one, be ready to to hear the Sound of Music as Ruby and Nova solve the mystery of a death! In book two, West Side Story is the story – and guess what – another murder to solve. The Little Shop of Horrors brings back Rudy from book 1 – the mystery is one of catfishing.
These are lighthearted, fun reads. A go to if you are looking for something entertaining and fun!

This author just has a way with her words to draw you in and immerse you into the story like you are there with all the characters, seeing and hearing everything they are. I found myself singing along with all the clues Ruby finds which was fun and different.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Musical Murder Series is definitely one of a kind. I like how each book flows easily into the next one. The way the author incorporates the musical the characters are working on in the story and the murder mysteries work really well together. All of the characters are very personable and are very in sync with each other. Also there is enough drama in the story, between the characters and the mystery to keep the story going and not focus on only one aspect at a time but multiple aspects.

Only one word is needed to describe this set of books, and it is FUN! I know there’s murder, and possible catfishing, but these are a set of cozy mysteries you should read! The three books are titled after musicals: 1) The Sound of Murder (The Sound of Music), 2) West Side Murder (West Side Story), and 3) Little Shop of Murder (Little Shop of Horrors).

Ruby has a special way of remembering clues to each crime, and in The Sound of Murder I was singing her new version every time she added a clue. In West Side Murder, I laughed out loud at the antics in the retirement community (The Golfers and The Palmers). Some of the characters reminded me of people I know in real life. In Little Shop of Murder, there was a surprise ending.

All three of these books are entertaining, funny, and sweet with a little murder thrown in. They are well-written, characters are developed throughout the series, and each could stand alone. But you will get so much more enjoyment out of reading them in order.

The sound of murder
What a fun and entertaining book this is. Ruby is such a great character. I found myself connecting with her immediately. I loved the mystery of the book too. This author is fantastic at creating brilliant stories that all had such a unique feel about them.
For me this book was made even better by the choice of musical – it left me singing the songs to myself and going back to watch the film. It gave me such a feeling of nostalgia and I think helped me to engage even more.
This author is easily one of my favourites and this book will show you why. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

West Side Murder
I really enjoyed being able to read more about the character of Ruby. She is so entertaining. This book can be read as a standalone story although I personally think you should read them in order to get a true feel for the characters.
This book was just as well written as the first, filled with just as much intrigued and mystery. I was hooked on this story as soon as I started reading it and it definitely kept me guessing to the end. This author has such a skill for writing incredible books and this is a perfect example.

Little Shop of Murder
I honestly think Ruby just gets better and better with each story. I am completely captivated by her each time I pick up one of these books and I could read about her for so much longer.
This book is filled with everything I have come to expect, not only from this series but this author. It is well written, thoroughly entertaining and full of mystery. I read this book so fast I was enjoying that much and I am already looking forward to my next book by this author.
