Key West Dead (Jake Wolfe Book 6) by Mark Nolan is another excellent read. I really like these Jake Wolfe books. They are good whodunit novels, mystery, intrigue, plenty of action, and just the right amount of love. I have to say, in view of the way this story plays out, I’m really worried about that snake. One of the things I like best about Mark Nolan’s books is that not everything is made up. Even though some of it sounds science fictiony he always takes the time and trouble to tell you about his research on the things that he adds to the story. I really like that, I think you will too.

WARNING: Somewhat graphic descriptions of jailhouse violence and suicide attempts.
“Murder at Honeybee Lake” is a follow-up to “Rebecca Remains,” a very twisty paranormal mystery. This one begins a year after “Rebecca…” resolves. In this one, Tessa’s friend Randy – who provided her with a guest room when she was hiding from Keith – has been living with Ben at their home at the lake for a year now. Down at the dock one evening, Ben pulls a dead body out from under the dock. Randy handles this badly, refusing to believe that Ben found an actual body until the police confirm it the next day. Ben is deeply offended by Randy’s behavior, yet he readily accepts Randy’s marriage proposal later in the week. Their engagement starts on a rocky note as Randy is arrested for the murder of his … already dead lover? WHAT? Denver died years before, from cancer. How did he end up in the lake? And how did the murder weapon show up under Randy’s deck? Ben runs away from all the drama, leaving Emily’s (Tessa’s sister) wife Mandy to solve the murder, as she knows her brother Randy could NOT have murdered any one! If Randy didn’t do it, did Ben? Did Denver “engineer” his own death? Randy undergoes severe abuse and homophobia from the prison guards, and has to depend upon Mandy and Randy’s estranged father, a lawyer, to get him out of the horrendous jail conditions. This is pretty hard to read, even though Randy finds a friend in the jail’s nurse and a closeted gay guard, Simon. The paranormal is much stronger in this book than in book #1. Randy and Ben both act strangely at times, and both attempt suicide. Were they … not themselves … when the suicide attempts occurred? This is all really twisty and the plot points of either Ben or Randy being the murderer are very convincingly drawn. So who murdered the already-dead Denver? Can Tessa contact Denver to find out? Parts of this novel get pretty repetitive, but it is twisty and suspenseful. The repetition knocks down the star rating from a 3.3ish to an even 3 stars.

TRIGGER WARNING: Scenes of domestic violence and a somewhat graphic description of marital rape.
Tessa and Keith have been married for a year now. Keith is everything Tessa has ever wanted in a husband: attentive and protective. Even if she gave up her relationship w/ her last living relative – her sister – and her job to be Keith’s wife. Tessa and her sister have been estranged the entirety of Tessa’s marriage, b/c Emily did not like their eloping nor Keith’s over-protectiveness. Tessa begins dreaming about a woman with long, red hair, warning her that Keith will hurt Tessa, just like he hurt her. It turns out that this woman really exists – existed? – because she is Rebecca, Keith’s former wife. Rebecca shows Tessa proof of the abuse she suffered and tells her that she was actually murdered – by Keith. In Tessa’s non-dream life, she reaches out to Emily, to end their estrangement, and for help. Since we readers now know that Keith is an abuser, it makes sense that he gets upset at Tessa and Emily re-connecting. When Tessa begins suffering endless headaches and fatigue, Keith arranges for a doctor’s appointment; it turns out Tessa is pregnant. Her dreams of beginning a new family are coming true! Except – they are not. After finding proof that the dream woman was telling Tessa the truth – and the episode of marital rape by her supposedly-perfect husband – Emily and her girlfriend, Mandy, help Tessa move out. Between the frightening dreams, and trying to establish a new life in which Keith cannot find her, Tessa and Emily try to solve Rebecca’s murder. Tessa needs peace and Rebecca deserves justice. Emily encourages Tessa to explore her gift – communicating with dead people, in order to accomplish both goals. The story becomes progressively more suspenseful, as the reader awaits the probable confrontation with Keith What a plot twist awaits! Not only do we get the confrontation, but it is nothing like we expected, as we also learn the truth about the fates of Tessa’s and Emily’s parents! It certainly was NOT what they had been told. There is very little exposition at the beginning of the novel: the plot becomes suspenseful immediately. A bit more exposition would have been helpful. Tessa makes unrealistic leaps in knowledge, seeming to understand situations well before she should have. It seems unrealistic for a woman being stalked by her husband to jump as quickly into a “new” relationship as Tessa does with her high school flame, Tommy. I was really sickened by the marital rape and abuse. Fortunately, the plot improved from there, becoming more about establishing a new family from friendships as opposed to more traditional family arrangements. I rounded the book up to 3 stars. It is not my typical genre, and I will probably stick closer to paranormal cozy mysteries as opposed to more “realistic” suspenseful mysteries like this one.
Logan is enjoying her first vacation in years and along with Ben and her family make the most of some summer fun on the Oregon coast. Logan and Ben even have tickets for an in-home classical music concert featuring visiting musicians from China.Logan finds herself in another homicide investigation but this time she is a suspect. How can she prove her innocence?Valerie Davisson took the time to make her novel work on multiple levels. Safe Harbor is book 5 in Davisson’s Logan McKenna Series, but it is the first of her novels I’ve read. She did a good job of giving me the background information I needed without interrupting the flow of the story. Still, I would recommend other readers start with the first book.

Our Wicked Lies: A gripping psychological thriller by Glede Browne Kabongo this book is full of suspense and has a few twists and turns thrown in. I thought the story was well thought out and written in a way that kept your interest right from page one. I did at times find the characters just a little hard to relate to. I really wanted Alicia to have a little bit more backbone about her although for the most part she was likeable. Her husband I found very hard to connect with. Instead I found there was an instant dislike for him, which could well be exactly what the author intended. This is an overall enjoyable book and one I thoroughly enjoyed.
When I read the synopsis of this book I pictured it a certain way….. Well that will teach me to never judge a book by its synopsis, hahaha. Mya took me on a very unexpected journey with this intriguing story about two ladies who kind of experienced the same kind of troubling relationship. Mya kept me guessing the whole time and believe me I had A LOT of theories.
Emily also does a good job with the narration but some places I had to do a double take to make sure which character was speaking.
All and All an AMAZING first book from a new Author to me.

This is the first book by this author that I have read, and I was hooked from the moment I started reading it. I found it to me a suspenseful book that I couldn’t put down. I was so wrapped up in all the secrets, lies and deception that was taking place I was sitting on pins and needles until the end. And to be quite honest, I was sweating when I reached the end from all the elements that I read. Great book and one that I highly recommend if you are into paranormal crime and mystery. I think she did a fabulous job describing everything and everyone in this book. In some areas, too much because I was a little frightened and looking over my shoulder in some places. Overall, a fabulous read and I look forward to reading other books by her as well.
This is the next book in the Jake Wolfe series and I couldn’t put it down. Jake and Sarah are in Key West for a wedding. Jake finds out that death threats have been sent to some of his buddies. While on their way back to their boat there is a huge dangerous twist.
Will Jake and Cody be able to solve the mystery? Who is after his buddies and why?
Overall this was a thrilling read that had several twists and turns. The author does a great job with his writing and pulls you right in. You can read this book as a stand alone but I highly suggest you start from the beginning. All of the secondary characters were great. If you are looking for a great series, 1-click and get started today.

Murder at Honeybee Lake is the second book in the Shadow of a Doubt series. Like most series, I recommend giving the first book a read before starting this one, but it can be read as a stand alone too. I enjoyed this book very much. It is very well written and kept me turning pages until the very end. Being a paranormal, crime book, the story was full of mystery, secrets, lies, deceptions, tension and most definitely surprising. Very clever plotted story and I can’t wait for the next book.

A brilliant piece of writing. The story draws you in from the start and immerses the reader in a world where everything is not what it appears. So many twists and turns had me drawing conclusions that ended up shattered in the next chapter. The author is a natural with imagery (plenty of ‘show, don’t tell’) and the characterisation was on point. A powerful storyline full of secrets, deceit and betrayal, had me turning the pages late into the night. I highly recommend this book.
This is the fifth book in the Logan McKenna series. This audio book is just under 7 hours long. The story follows Logan as she goes on a vacation – one she has not taken in years – and ends up getting pulled into a homicide investigation. Just when she thought she would be able to enjoy a family vacation, a murder happens in a normally quiet town. Trouble seems to follow this poor girl. The characters are well written, and scenery is very detailed. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat. This series get better and better.

This is book two from this series and I have read the first one. I definitely don’t think this is a standalone. I think you should read the first one and then read this one. This story focused on Randy and Ben. I love how all of the characters are connected and how they make everybody part of their little family. This also had a lot of Mandy in it which was good but it was definitely Ben and Randy’s story. Tessa and Emily are in here as well but mainly background. This is a great series and I recommend it.

This was a read that made me think. It will have you think about how you look at people, how you treat them, and how you don’t always see/know what is going on inside of someone. The simple kindness of a candy bar can literally save someone’s life, and you might not ever know until later. Evil is very real and the author did a great job of conveying that in this book. Not my normal read, but I am glad that I picked it up!

The second book in the Shadow of Doubt series by Jessica Aiken-Halle will not disappoint you. This twisted tale had me on edge as each piece of the puzzle started to fit together. This is such an amazing story about love and its power to help each of us in our times of need.
Just as Randy and Ben are ready to start their new life, a murder at their lake house on Honeybee Lake starts a whole new line of trouble.

Possession by an evil spirit is difficult to overcome. With Sara and Tara, paranormal specialists on their side, how can anything go wrong?
New friends, old connections, and family surround them both with a love that helps them to overcome their obstacles. How much will they have to go through to find the truth behind the dead body?

Alicia Gray knows she’s a lucky woman. However, she’ll soon discover that an enviable marriage comes at a deadly cost. Alicia struggles under the weight of dark secrets from her own past, someone knows more than they’re saying. This novel was a wonderful read. I couldn’t put it down.
“Our Wicked Lies” by Glede Browne Kabongo is a gripping and suspenseful domestic thriller. Fans of Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware and B.A Paris will find a kindred spirit in Kabongo!
Alicia Gray has the perfect family; her lawyer husband, Elliot, is devoted to her and their two teenage daughters. After a twentieth anniversary trip to Paris, Alicia feels that her relationship with Elliot couldn’t be any better, but as she soon finds out, having everything you ever wanted comes with a steep price. When Alicia discovers that her husband has been having a long-standing affair with a woman named Faith, her entire life is turned upside down. Just as shocking is when Alicia discovers the true identity of Faith, sending everything she knew into chaos, and when a tragic death occurs in their elite neighbourhood, more secrets are revealed that has everyone, Alicia included, questioning what they thought they knew.
The story is well-written and the characters are well-developed¬. I rooted for Alicia from page one (and cursed Elliot throughout the entire novel). Right from the beginning I felt an immediate connection to the characters, and I wanted to see justice served.
The novel is told mostly from Alicia’s perspective, although we do get a bit of Elliot and Faith’s story throughout. The short chapters kept me engaged, and I found myself breezing through this page-turning novel!
Each and every character was seemingly just as guilty as any other, which made guessing the ending all the more enjoyable! The ending itself was unexpected, although it definitely wasn’t uncommon in novels of this genre. I thoroughly enjoyed how Browne Kabongo kept the tension throughout the entire plot, not letting up until the very last page.
Browne Kabongo is a new author for me, but she has many novels (and awards) under her belt. After reading “Our Wicked Lies”, I can absolutely see why! This genre is one of my favourites, and to see it done so well and in such an engaging and entertaining way, Browne Kabongo will definitely be on my radar from now on!

Murder at Honeybee Lake is the second book in the Shadow of a Doubt series. It can be read as a standalone. I enjoyed this book. Great plot and well-written characters. The paranormal element doesn’t overwhelm the story and it feels very natural. There were a couple of places that felt a little slower, but not enough to put me off. The back and forth of emotions between Randy and Ben in the beginning was like whiplash because it happened several times in a short space, but you understand the flip-flopping a little more as their backstories come out in detail later on. Overall, great read!

Murder at Honeybee Lake is a continuation of the characters from Book 1, with an emphasis on the story of Randy and Ben, family of Tessa. The plot begins quickly with the titular murder being discovered in the first chapter. As the investigation begins, and the clues come together, Randy and Ben themselves become key to unravelling the murder.
This story is a cozy, easy-to-read mystery that fans of that genre will enjoy. It’s quite similar in structure and arc to Book 1. One thing I wasn’t a fan of was the insecurity of the characters. They all seem quite fragile and melodramatic, swinging wildly between loving deeply to accusations of hate. I wanted to find a strong hero to follow, but didn’t quite. Despite this, it is a relaxing read with a fun whodunnit plot.

This is my first book by Miss Brandy Nacole, and she did not disappoint. Psychological thrillers are not normally my thing but all I can say about I Will Bury You is WOW!!!! If you love psychological thrillers full of love, death, and so many surprising twists and turns that it makes your head spin then I definitely recommend I Will Bury You but I will warn you that Miss Nacole will have you guessing until the very end. This psychological thriller is beyond dark, complex, and so detailed that you’ll want to read it more than once to try and catch all the little details and clues that Miss Nacole leaves us.

Well knock me down with that ending why don’t you miss Brandy. I did not see that one coming. Brandy has an intriguing writing style…. I was scared when it started with the twists and turns that I might get lost but with the way she writes I could follow along perfectly. The only critique I have is that the first bit of the book needs a bit of editing work BUT it doesn’t take anything away from the story.

Murder at Honeybee Lake is the second book in the Shadow of a Doubt series by Jessica Aiken-Hall. It’s a fantastic paranormal crime and investigation story that had me devouring the pages to discover how everything plays out. The story is full of intrigue, gripping moments, mystery, tension, secrets, lies, agendas, deception, and surprises- as well as plenty of emotion. As expected from Jessica Aiken-Hall, this is very well developed – a cleverly plotted story that has been woven with palpable tension, making for a riveting read. Get set for a gripping ride. Can’t wait for the next book!

Captivating YA psychological thriller/ mystery read. I’d say reading level is more upper YA for “murder mystery” content and talk of mental health, even though MC (Main Character) actually falls into the New Adult category.
Ann returns home to Newport, Oregon, to deal with her mother’s passing from cancer. While packing up her mother’s stuff she finds items that don’t add up to what she remembers, and things that were hidden from her. Meanwhile people around her end up dead or injured. Who’s doing this? And why is it all happening upon her return home?
I really enjoyed the unveiling and the conclusion of the mystery. Some scenes/clues come about via flashbacks while others from narrator introspection. The switch from one to the other kept me reading to find out what happened next. I also liked the interaction of MC with the supporting characters, between her grief over her mother, assisting her aunt, fighting with the neighbor, and talking with the therapist we are able to flesh out who the MC really is.

This is the first book I’ve read by Nacole, but it won’t be my last. This page turner will have you on the edge of your seat.
Ann has lost her mother, but doesn’t know exactly what happened. There are things she doesn’t remember. She doesn’t understand what is going on. The quote I chose for Ann is: “She thinks I did it, doesn’t she? She never believes me. What did she say? Did she say that I was lying? Does she think I’m losing it because Mama died? She doesn’t think I can live on my own, does she? Ya know…”

I enjoyed this book! This is the second book in the series and I would definitely recommend reading these in order to get a better reading experience. It was a well written story and I was pulled in and interested throughout the whole book. It was mysterious and engaging. It did have some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and that made the story that much better. I would recommend this to a friend! Happy Reading!
