I loved this book. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading since the first book I picked up by her. Her writing skills and attention to details make her books easy to read. This book is no different. It is full of action and twists and turns that will keep you guessing. This is a story about Officer Miriam. She is facing trouble when she faces her past and a serial killer. As the story goes on she starts to question her sanity and is schooled in a lesson of trust. What happens next I highly recommend reading this book. I loved Miriam’s character and what she brings to this story. She is a strong, well rounded character. She made the story engaging and a page turner. You don’t want to miss this one!

This story has everything in it from action to betrayal to romance. Xander and Riley dynamic is a mix in itself. Xander and Riley have such a quick connection. Amy McKinley had me going right to the end with who the culprit was behind all the destruction. As these moments played out me heart was pounding. The ending left alot of question and I can’t wait to see where this series leads to.

Murder at Lolly Beach: An Eve Sawyer Mystery by Jane Suen is a cozy mystery story. Don’t let this story fool you. Just when you thought you have everything worked out you find out that you do not. Jane completely turns you around. What seemed to be a simple murder turns out to be something a little darker and a bit more sinister. Jane has cleverly woven a web of lies and deceit and finely tuned a well thought out plot.

Oh I am so going to love this series! I have loved Amy McKinley’s writing before and especially loved her Gray Ghost Series so when I discovered this is a spin off type series of that I knew I needed to get my hands on it and I needed it NOW. I was so not disappointed and loved every moment I spent reading Twisted Secrets, the first of her Deadly Isles Special Ops series. This is one heck of a suspenseful ride as you read bringing the drama and smexy sizzle to the underlying storylines that will keep you wanting more, more, more. I really loved following along and the story that we got with Xander and Riley. These two bring the heat and the suspense that will leave you on the edge of your seat trying to figure things out as you go. I loved and hated the way this ended… mostly because I wanted more lol. I am anxious to get my hands on the next book in the series soon! This is one you do not want to miss!

Kells is an expert storyteller when it comes to weaving romance and suspense. Hearing the book come to life with Price’s narration took it to a new level. I really appreciated hearing the emotional behind the story and felt the narrator did a good job in conveying the author’s intent. Recommended book and audio recording.

Firstly, I can’t believe I didn’t remember that not only is Matching Miriam by the same author as the Maggie Trilogy I read last year (I remembered that part!) but this book follows in the same universe! Yay! I fell in love with the characters when reading the trilogy and to come back to them in yet another brilliantly written novel brought a smile to my face! Reading about tough fronted police officer Miriam and learning about why she is the way she is gave me a deeper understanding to a character who may otherwise have remained as Naomi’s friend who wouldn’t take anything from anyone! Highly recommended!
Carpe Noctem… To bring justice to this city, a vigilante must seize the night. And sacrifice everything else, including the woman he loves.
When she hears rumors of a new drug about to overtake Chicago, reporter Orla Karlsen is desperate to defend her city and will stop at nothing to halt its distribution, including stepping into Chicago’s underworld. She has a second agenda—to uncover the person dispensing his own brand of justice to those on the wrong side of the law—the Vigilante.
The Vigilante fights to protect the city in darkness and shadows. His latest goal is to track down the suppliers of the new drug and stop them before users start dying, and he targets Orla as a way to get information.
Their common quest will intersect in a fiery showdown and they’ll need to trust each other to untangle a mess of lies, power, and danger. Orla seizes the opportunity to learn more about the man behind the mask and agrees to work with him to bring down those behind the new drug.
Loyalties and ambitions shift though when she realizes he’s not just another criminal, but someone with honor that truly cares for the citizens of Chicago. The connection between them builds into an undeniable sexual need neither of them can fight and despite the danger, they can’t stay away from each other.
Orla is willing to give her body, but when their lives are on the line, Orla fights to gain the trust of the man she’s given her heart to.
Will love be enough to save them both, or will the Vigilante sacrifice Orla to keep his secrets?

I have read other books by this author and they are always great and this one is no different. Miriam is a no nonsense detective that has put up a lot of walls around her heart and she doesn’t trust easily. Miriam and her partner were just given a murder case to solve, which is looking like they might have a serial killer on their hands. Jesse has just moved back to town to start a new job as a fireman. He isn’t sure how he is going to feel if or when he runs into Miriam after all this time. When they finally do see each other all those feelings from the past come rushing right back. Jesse wants to protect Miriam once he finds out that she might be in danger, but he’s not sure she will let him. Miriam’s friend Naomi has had a vision that Miriam is in danger but doesn’t know who is after her. With so much going on in Miriam’s life what will she do? Will she let Jesse back in her life? Can she catch a serial killer? To find these things out this is a must read. This book is full of emotion, danger, suspense, romance and more. I recommend this book.
Murder at Lolly Beach by Jane Suen is the second book in An Eve Sawyer Mystery series. This can be read and completely enjoyed as a standalone story. This is a fairly quick read that I did not want to put down. Eve thinks she is getting away from all the craziness of school but in turn, finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery while on her break. I enjoy the character of Eve and how she wants to help and get to the bottom of what is happening to the people at the beach. There are some twists and turns to keep the reader’s attention as well as a bit of a bubbling romance. I enjoyed the story and the characters. I look forward to more from this series and the author in the future.

Well this is a surprise! I enjoyed this and read it in one setting. No I’m not a speed reader..this is just good. The characters are fun and the story just kept me busy. I was trying to figure out who is the murderer. Guess what? I didn’t do it. I was suspicious but I didn’t guess right. Kudos to the author!
Overall it’s a good mystery with some romance. It’s nice to meet new characters and see some old ones. This author always keeps me on my toes and this book is no exception.

Matching Miriam by Mya O’Malley was a good 4 star read. If you’re looking for a suspenseful read that pulls you right in this is the one for you.
Miriam is a police detective and she doesn’t have it easy. She is working on a case, searching for a killer which is challenging. She has a pretty big wall built up around her heart. And her current boyfriend is getting a little clingy.
Jessie has returned to New York and is now a firefighter. He has a history with Miriam that has caused some hurt feelings. When these two see each other again old feelings come rushing back. Will Miriam let Jessie back in?
Overall this was a great read. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. I was surprised at the ending which I loved. The author does a great job with her writing and you feel like you’re right there with the characters. We get suspense, murder, mystery and so much more. All of the characters added a great element to the story, love Zelda. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today.
Not One of Us by Debbie Herbert is a suspense/mystery story. This is my first by this author and I loved her writing style. She kept you on the edge of your seat, but without a bunch of filler. The relationships were intricate and well connected. I was pleased that she had characters from all walks of life including an autistic nephew. The main characters Teagan & Jori were strong females who each had their own backstory that made them human. This book had such a great secret that brought it all together and kept me completely enthralled from beginning to end.

Matching Miriam by Mya O’Malley. This author grabs my attention and won’t let go until I reach the last page. But it’s ok because I love every minute of it. Once again I found myself drawn into a story I couldn’t put down. The characters are complex and relatable, from page one I knew I’d love the adventure they were about to take me on. The storyline is well thought out and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. If you love a good mystery with some romance here and there this book is calling your name. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!
I was excited to see what Eve Sawyer would find herself mixed up in the second book of THe Eve Sawyer Mysteries, Murder at Lolly Beach. The first one had me hooked on this style of writing by Jane Suen so I was more than ready to dive in no questions asked. This was one of those books though that you thought you knew what you were going to get and got something even a tad more dangerous and daring than you expected. I loved the story and how it kept me on the edge of my seat as I followed Eve and her nosey self on her vacation at Lolly Beach. This is one of those books you will want to read with the lights on and the doors locked, and with plenty of time to finish in one go because you won’t want to put it down for one second. I am highly anticipating the next book in this series, I am hooked. I hope this is a series that Jane Suen will pursue for a long time coming.

I really enjoyed getting to know Miriam! I haven’t read all of Mya’s books so I know this probably isn’t her first appearance, but I liked her all the same! Mya does a great job building her characters and setting her ‘stage’. This was a decently easy read and it had mystery and conflict in all the right places and I really enjoyed that I got almost to the end and still didn’t really know for sure where the fingers were pointing. I am not typically a paranormal reader, Mya knows this, I love her balance and structure and they way she seems to weave the characters into the world where her books take place. This was a great book, I know should go read the books in between that I haven’t had the pleasure of doing as of yet.
Matching Miriam is the first book I have read by Mya O’Malley, the cover art drew me in. I really enjoyed it, and didn’t want to put it down! It has a good balance of action, suspense thriller and a taste of romance. I love that the lead female is strong and independent, but has a soft side as well. The supporting characters are well written and the friendships/chemistry they have is very relatable. Miriam and Jesse have a past, but he moved away, putting a end to it all. When he comes back “home” they soon run into each other. It wasn’t instant reconnection, and I liked that they worked together to build the trust and relationship again. Miriam’s friend is very interesting, and I hope there is another story for her, because I think it would be a great spin off. The book has a good level of suspense, and keeps you guessing until the end. I was shocked to find out who the killer was, and did not see that coming.

This is not a new author for me. I love Mya O’Malley and her series the Maggie Trilogy was amazing. I could not wait for this book to come out. I already knew who our main character was, because I read the Maggie series. This book can be read as a standalone, but don’t do that to yourself. The main female is Miriam and she’s a detective. Our main male character is Jesse, and they are long-lost loves. This book tells their story and was worth the wait. I’m excited to see what else she’s got up her sleeve!

This is the 2nd book in the series by Jane Suen. Blake something has happen to him. Aww Jake I really feel connected to his character. They only wanted an internship and then this wow. This is a great little detective story.

I have read several books by Ms. O’Malley and throughly enjoyed each one of them and how several are connected and this one was no different. I’m not a big fan of ghosts or the paranormal but I find myself making sure I read Ms. O’Malley’s books when I see she has a new one. Each of these can be read as a standalone but they are connected to other books and they are referenced.
Miriam is as tough as nails as they come, but when you are a female in a male dominated profession like being a Police Detective she has no choice, but we learn there is so much more to her. She’s hunting a killer and I was floored by the ending. Last person I expected it to be which made me like this book that much more. I hate predictable storyline and this was anything but.
I of course loved seeing Zelda (the cat) and meeting the two kittens. Animals tend to be my favorite characters regardless, but when their personalities are as apparent as they are in this it makes me love them more.
I want to know what happens with a few people and I’m hoping to see their story eventually, hopefully sooner than later.

This is not my first book by Mya O’Malley and it will not be my last book by her. Matching Miriam is a suspenseful crime book with a romance mixed into the plotline. The characters are relatable and I could feel myself within their circle of friends. This book kept me on my toes. There were twists and turns in the book, some I saw and some I did not see. I will say once you start reading this book you are not going to want to stop. In other words, make sure you are all set to read this book in one sitting. We have met Miriam in the Maggie series. I love when authors carry characters from other books because it is a great feeling to know that you have a little inside knowledge of the character. Miriam is a strong, tough, and a bad mama jammer. She does not back down from anything. She has landed a one of a kind case that she is focusing on, the serial killer case Decade Killer. Not only is she having this tough case but a heartthrob of her past comes back and she is trying to juggle her life. Will Miriam be able to keep her focus with all the distractions? Will she solve the Decade Killer case? Will her heartthrob throw a wrench into her investigation? I highly recommend this book.

Murder At Lolly Beach: An Eve Sawyer Mystery by Jane Suen is the second book in the Eve Sawyer Mystery series. This book can be read as a stand-alone. I always look forward to starting a new boom by this author as she has such a wide variety of books that you never quite know what you are about to get. I really enjoyed the character of Eve in this book – she was not only interesting to read about but also had depth to her which a lot of characters tend to lack. The book was well written and had enough twists thrown in to make the book intriguing. This author has such a brilliant way of writing – anything I have ready by her I have thoroughly enjoyed and this book is no exception. I am looking forward to whatever is to come next from this author already.

Murder at Lolly Beach (Eve Sawyer mystery series Book 2) by Jane Suen
5 Stars
I love this series, I love Eve and how she cant help but get involved when she feels needed, whether anyone likes it or not LOL
This one twisted around enough to have me all confused and even truly scared a few times at what the outcome was going to be and the who that they were looking for. The who had me questioning everything throughout the book.
I loved the friendship between Eve, Cassie, and Bob and although I was suspicious of him through much of my reading I also really liked Jake and truly hope there is more coming in the future with that friendship…
I love ANYTHING Jane Suen writes, she is one of my top one clicks, her books always make you sit and think when you finish, there is always much to sort out. She has a way of twisting things so quick you don’t even realize what’s happening.
A very quick read because when you get started you have to finish in one sitting!

When she and Jesse see each other and kiss its all she can do to keep from thinking about him. Jesse is consumed with thoughts of Miriam all the while Miriam is looking for a killer! Will she keep her heart from being broken again or will she go down the same road as before? Read Matching Miriam to find out!
Matching Miriam by Mya O’Malley was a great read! I was absolutely enthralled with this novel. I especially loved being thrown back in the world with Naomi again. That was unexpected surprise for me honestly. O’Malley is such a great writer, she’s able to make the whole world come alive when she writes. This novel was packed with love and romance, thrill, mystery and some suspense. It was also completely heartwarming as well. I can’t wait to read more from Mya in the future! Everything I’ve read of hers has not disappointed me yet!
