I enjoyed this suspenseful mystery. This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite of hers yet. I enjoyed how this story pulled me in right from the beginning. It is an engaging story that has characters that brought the story to life. The twists and turns had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. Logan is back in this mystery where a woman dies from an explosion and a couple of friends are being accused. Can anyone be trusted? Does trust come at a cost? Logan is one of my favorite characters, strong and makes the story easy to read. This made a great afternoon read and I highly recommend it.

This book had an interesting cover with a single man with a cowboy hat walking into a town. It looked like it was right out of the midwest, or a modern ghost town. The story is unique and intriguing. Red Farlow walks into a cult following, Blue Magnolia. His client is in a heap of trouble with Blue Magnolia and wants help. Will Farlow be able to help or will have trouble coming at him. One thing I really enjoy is Red Farlow’s character. He is a strong male character who does not mind getting his hands dirty. The story line grabs me from the first page until the last page. I am interested in cult societies. It fascinates me that people are able to be easily controlled. Highly recommend this story to see what happens. Will Red find his match with Blue Magnolia? Can he help his client Will?
Isabella’s Painting: A Notorious Art Heist (Karina Cardinal Mysteries #1) by Ellen Butler
This was the first book I’ve read by Butler, but it is not going to be my last. This book had me sitting on the edge of my seat wanting more. I couldn’t put the book down until I was done. I still want more.
Karina is a lawyer and self made mystery solver. She is dating someone who has family money. What happens when she finds something she wasn’t supposed to see? Will her and the boyfriend survive? The quote I choose for Karina is: “No. I’m sure it wasn’t like that. As a matter of fact, I’m positive you put it on to make sure I wasn’t cheating on you. Like your past girlfriends. Is that what it was like?”
Patrick is a boy from money. He doesn’t follow in daddy’s footsteps, but past relationships mess with him. He wants to believe that Karina isn’t cheating, but does the unthinkable. The quote I choose for Patrick is: “I know. Our plans changed, but now that we’re here amidst your family, I simply can’t wait any longer. Karina, my love, will you marry me?”
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good crime, mystery, and romance all rolled together. Butler had really brought these characters to life and I can’t wait for more.

Isabella’s Painting by Ellen Butler is an amazing mystery book that I thoroughly recommend! I loved this book in its entirety and couldn’t put it down until i had finished it! I was hooked from the blurb, and was very excited to read this book, and I loved it! This is the first book in the Karina Cardinal Mysteries Series, and my first book by Ellen Butler. I very much look forward to reading more from both this series, and from this very talented author!

This is a great country crime story that keeps you hooked.
Hank is a up and coming country singer who is starting his career singing around the bars. Its a steady gig until he writes one song that becomes more popular than he could ever imagine but maybe for the wrong reasons when it attracts the attention of a far right group called the Blue Magnolia.
This group is an extremist group who believe in white power so why do they want a country song?
When Hanks life is threatened when he refuses to sell the song or perform it for their rally, his cousin hires Red Farlow who is a PI to protect him and figure out what is actually happening.
With Red on the case the hunt for the truth begins. Is the threat of Hanks life all for a song or is there another reason the group want him in their fold? Will the mysteries be unravelled and will Red get to the truth?
Blue Magnolia: Red Farlow Mysteries: #2 by W.F. Ranew is a crime/mystery story. It is multi layered and has an original storyline. The premise is good, but I found it tough going in the beginning as it was a little slow and had to retrace my steps sometimes. There are also a lot of players and it took me a while to settle in to WF’s writing style. Having said that it was an interesting read and I was definitely intrigued to see how it would all play out. It is a compelling puzzle that keeps us on our toes.
Hank is a magnet for trouble, mayhem and havoc and Red is hired to look out for him. Red must dig deeper than he has before to keep Hank out of trouble.
The Slaughter of Leith Hall is a very interesting historic novel filled with mystery and suspense. I am a huge fan of outlander, and this book grabbed my interest as it is set in Scotland shortly after the Jacobites fight with the British. John Leith is trying to gain social status by fighting for the British army shortly after the war between the Jacobites and the British. He is back in Scotland, and takes a fiercely determined and intuitive young man Charlie Rob under his wing. Charlie learns a lot shadowing Leith wherever he goes, and is content with his job, until one day, he is thrown in the middle of a murder mystery. Charlie’s strong sense of justice urges him to get to the roots of the mystery and he finds himself obsessed with the murder. It is a very gripping read and transports you into a different world. As I was turning one page after another, I could visualize Scotland and outlander before my eyes. It is a very interesting read which mixes fiction with historic facts together. The reader learns a lot about the Scottish history in this book. A very good read, do not miss it.

The Trouble With Paradise (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 4) by Cynthia Hamilton
I think this is my favorite of the series so far. I’m sure I felt that way about the last one too but I really enjoyed every minute I spent reading this book. Madeline is a bad a&^ lady and she proves it time and time again.
The two cases Madeline and Mike have this time are almost impossible to figure out. Two women widowed. One is jail, one isn’t but they both want answers. If anyone can figure out what happened it’s Madeline and Mike.
Can we talk about Samir for just a second? How awesome is he? I feel he is under appreciated and no matter what Madeline does for him it will never be enough.
Can’t wait for the next book to come out so I can find out what happens next.

Forest Park: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 2 (The Logan McKenna Series) By Valerie Davisson 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Forest Park: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 2 (The Logan McKenna Series) by Valerie Davisson. It is a story that includes mystery and suspense. It is a book that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. This is the second Logan McKenna book that I have read, and it is just as amazing as the first one. Logan is a woman who is intelligent, independent, strong, and kind. She finds herself in Portland, Oregon where she meets new friends and is across the street when an explosion occurs. She is determined to help. Read this book to find out the full story. This story had me trying to guess what was going to happen next. The book is written with such detail about the people and places where Logan goes to and meets. I felt like I was right there with her. The story has many additional characters that I enjoyed reading about the part that they play in the book. The author does a wonderful job of making the characters come alive. Don’t miss out on an entertaining and unforgettable read. I highly recommend reading it.

The Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham 4 Stars!!!!
I really do love books set in period. I don’t care if they are romance, mystery, or whatever. I love being drawn into the past and able to fantasise that I am in that time period. This book was very well written and kept my attention from the first page to the last. I love how there is just enough intrigue and drama to keep the reader going.
I could really feel the emotions Charlie felt as the drama unfolded. I was on the edge of my seat to see who was actually guilty. I really like how the author grabs the reader and you are transported into the very colourful past. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

This is book 4 in the Madeline Dawkins series and these books keep getting better and better. It is a great faced paced read and keeps you guessing every step of the way.
After 4 months out recovering from injury Madeline is back at the PI firm with Mike ready to solve more cases.
When 2 cases arrive at once they have their work cut out for them. One case is brought to them by a friend. The other is brought to them by their enemy.
The 1st case is a woman who’s husband died from suicide, well that was the finding but his wife Natalie doesn’t believe that is the case. Did Andrew commit suicide or was it something more sinister? Also are Natalie’s motives for finding the truth the motives of a bereaved widow or is there more to it?
The second case was brought to them by Madeline’s ex husband who we know can’t be trusted. This case involves the murder of a man by tractor accident. However the police don’t believe it was an accident and arrest his wife Lyndsey for his murder. Was it just a tragic accident? Is his wife really guilty or murdering her husband or is someone else to blame?

I enjoyed this historical story. The characters brought the story to life and kept the story engaging. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from them. This is a well written story that kept me turning pages and pulled me in right from the beginning. The story was easy to read and interesting. The story is about a charlot accident that killed a young man’s family. What will happen when he goes after finding the killer? Sometimes things are not what they seem, what happens next you will need to read this great book to find out. I highly recommend this book.

Holmes – Review by Bobbi Wagner
I enjoyed this book. This is a story that took me on an adventure, treasure hunting and plenty of action. I was pulled into this story right from the beginning and kept engaged to the end. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is a well written story that has characters that are well developed. They made the story feel real and easy to read. They kept the story moving which made it a page turner. Maddie needs to make a decision in this book, should she join Van Ops team or not. In the meantime she ends up working with them. What will she do? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with Maddie and the rest of the characters. A great story!
Blue Magnolia is the second book in the Red Farlow Mysteries series, but my first read by W.F Ranew. It is an interesting crime investigation story full of mystery, drama, intrigue, danger, and lots more that kept me turning the pages to discover what was happening. I enjoyed this book and look forward to exploring W.F Ranew’s other books in this series. Hank Tillman (“Cowboy”) is a country music singer trying to make it big. He seems to attract trouble, stumbling from one error in judgement to another mishap. When one of his songs becomes a hit- it attracts some unwanted attention in the form an extremist group who are determined to ‘persuade’ him to perform at their rally. Declining the radical organization places Hank in a precarious situation. And so enters Private Investigator Red Farlow, who is hired to help protect him. But, things heat up and the trouble escalates, with danger becoming an ever-present shadow. Red will need to dig deep and utilize all his skills in order to get to the bottom of things before it’s too late. This was a detailed and descriptive story with an original premise and an intriguing puzzle that had my mind pondering the outcome. There was a lot happening and a lot of ‘parts’ in play, which gave the story a bit of a jerky/choppy feel. I am interested to see how the series develops in the next book/s.
This is the first book I’ve read by the author, but it won’t be my last. Warning now if you don’t like BDSM then this won’t be a book for you.
Hunter is a girl who turns everyone away. She’s the type who doesn’t want to let a guy in. Known as a heartbreaker and homewrecker she likes life that way. Until Joe Reid enters her life. The quote I choose for Hunter is: “I thought I was losing my mind. See, he calls to me, and more bewildering is the sensation of healing I get from him.”
Joe, a former Marine, comes home for good. Losing a buddy of his started something that changes his life. Hunter wasn’t supposed to change his life but she did. For the better it seems. The quote I choose for Joe is: “Damn, girl. You flirt, you’ll find me and a hell of a lot more.”
This book was an amazing page turner and I will be keeping my eye out for more. Hunter and Joe are so realistic I thought it was a movie. I do highly recommend this for anyone who likes to think outside the box.

5 Star Blue Magnolia (Red Farlow Mysteries No. 2) by W.F. Ranew
Blue Magnolia is the second book in the Red Farlow Mysteries by W.F. Ranew. This is a fast paced suspense that I pretty much devoured in one afternoon. I was hooked from the beginning and was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Hank is trying to make it as a big country music star but tends to find himself in trouble or the trouble finds him. His latest song has drawn the attention of Blue Magnolia madmen. PI Farlow is hired but he soon finds out just how dangerous the situation can be. Can he keep Hank from getting harmed? Find out what happens next in this must read. I can’t wait to read more from this author.
I must say I did not expect that I would love this book quite as much as I did! It had a little bit of all my favorite things that I enjoy in a good solid mystery novel. It kept me in suspense both with the characters and the story line and I was often on the edge of my seat trying to figure out the all the things before they played out on the kindle screen.
Blue Magnolia is actually the second novel in the Red Farlow Mysteries but you should be able to read it in any order you wish and still enjoy it. These novels follow the PI Red Farlow as he works on different cases in each novel. This one Red Farlow’s client was Hank, an aspiring country music star with a pension for getting into trouble. I liked how this was an original story line and not something I had seen time and again and I will definitely be back for more with the next book in the series!
Fresh off leave after a justified shooting, Edward Petrosky is battling his own brain as much as he is the world around him. His ex-wife has finally stopped calling, and he’s even pulled away from his neighbors. The chief of police might be the only person helping to keep Petrosky sober.
When a woman is found dead near a local running trail, the city goes on high alert. Not only was the victim posed, but her body had been altered as if a crazy plastic surgeon had taken a scalpel to her. This killer is meticulous, careful—in Petrosky’s experience, the most dangerous kind of psycho. But then a second victim turns up, and she hasn’t been mutilated in quite the same way. Strange for a perfectionist suspect. Had the perp been interrupted, or is there a more sinister explanation? Perhaps they’re dealing with a copycat, or a pair of killers—the citizens of Ash Park might be in more peril than Petrosky had anticipated.
But when the chief of police is abducted, the case shifts into unchartered territory. The killer they’re after doesn’t just want to play with his victims—he wants notoriety. And the only way he’ll get it is if Petrosky opens up about the case, a move that could put the chief’s life in more danger.
And that’s a risk Petrosky cannot take. Petrosky’s only shot is to find their perp before the maniac slices into his boss—the only friend he hasn’t managed to push away. Can he catch the killer and muzzle his demons? Or will this case awaken the devil he’s been trying to silence?
Composed is a dark, twisted, thrill ride from bestselling author Meghan O’Flynn. If you like Stephen King’s Mr. Mercedes, Dean Koontz’s Jane Hawk, or Emerald O’Brien’s Knox and Sheppard Mysteries, you’ll love this 8th installment from the Ash Park series!
With books deemed “visceral, haunting, and fully immersive” (New York Times bestseller, Andra Watkins), Meghan O’Flynn has made her mark on the thriller genre. She is a clinical therapist and the bestselling author of gritty crime novels, including Shadow’s Keep, The Flood, and the Ash Park series, supernatural thrillers including The Jilted, and the Fault Lines short story collection, all of which take readers on the dark, gripping, and unputdownable journey for which Meghan O’Flynn is notorious.

Trey: European Redemption is the seventh book in the Russian Mob Chronicles by Shandi Boyes. This book is definitely one of Shandi Boyes’ more disturbing stories. The story both unsettled and intrigued me at the same time. There were parts that made me incredibly uncomfortable with what was playing out and times I really wanted to close the book and walk away. I cannot honestly say that it is my favourite story of hers- but it definitely stirred quite a lot of reactions from me- tossing my emotions around like they were nothing but a rag doll. So, I do have to give her props for that. This book has played on my mind a lot since I finished reading it, and has had me mulling over how I was going to review it- let alone rate it. But I think a story that can evoke so much from the reader, really does deserve some recognition. I love dark and disturbing stories- normally the darker the better. I like to have my mind twisted and my emotions toyed with. This story isn’t as dark as some that I have read and enjoyed- but there is something about it that left me uncomfortable and a little distressed. I took about eight pages of notes while reading this book- which is double what I normally do. There are so many triggers in this book- so be warned! This is NOT a light and fluffy read. If you are looking for hearts and flowers, unicorns and rainbows- then this is definitely NOT the book for you. This story is NOT for the faint of heart. It is NOT a romance in the true sense of the word. So, let me make it clear- this is a Russian Mob/Mafia romance- with graphic violence, drug use/abuse/addiction, sex trafficking/exploitation/rape, violence towards women, swearing, brutality, torture, guns, blood, gore, and more. Trey is a dangerous unhinged Alpha Male I would class as an anti-hero, and I really wasn’t sure I was going to like him in the beginning with all his hard partying, manwhore, deadly ways. And poor Kristina has been so brutalized, held captive for years in the sex trafficking industry, so used and abused- my heart broke (and ached) for her and what she had been through- but I also admired the strength it took to get through all that without completely losing her mind. They are both damaged and broken- but form an intense connection despite it all. Will they be able to lead each other out of the darkness? You will need to read the story if you want to find out. This is told from a duel/alternating POV- which really allows the reader to get a full perspective of what is going on and what is going through the characters minds as the story plays out. I appreciated getting such a rounded perspective of the story. There are a few flashbacks which help to build the backstory, as well as adding to the character depth and development. There are a few issues that I found with this book that I don’t normally find or have with Shandi Boyes books- editing issues, and storyline issues. Then there were sentences/paragraphs with double spaces between words, while the rest of the book had a single space between words. Happy to say that these issues didn’t detract from my overall reading experience. There is a nice surprise at the end of the book in the form of a sequel (novella) which is free to download (through the link supplied at the end)- which gives us more of Trey and Kristina’s story and answers some questions we may have initially been left with. I debated what rating to award this book given that it disturbed me so much and really did make me so uncomfortable- which is really hard to do given that I love dark reads- so I came to the conclusion that the book deserved the 5 stars just for that reason alone.

Fair warning, this book is dark, has triggers but oh my goodness is it so good! It can be read as a standalone but if you want a bit on some characters, read Nikolai’s books. Trey & K, whew where do you even start with them? K is the leading woman you wish for in books like these, she is so strong, resilient and just a tough leading lady. I’m not giving much away here as its best to read it, but if you are offended by curse words, mafia business etc, this isn’t for you but if it is, then grab this book, heck grab all the books by this author you won’t be disappointed.

Trey: European Redemption is the seventh book in Shandi Boyes’ Russian Mob Chronicles Series. It is a dark dark story that blows your mind! You can read it as a standalone but I promise you that you will want to know more about the people you come across in the story so prepare, you will need to tackle six more books once you have finished Trey. In this amazing story we meet Trey and Kristina aka K. Shandi has once more woven a story that makes you part of the very fabric of it and it will haunt you for a long time to come. The journey that the both have been on for years, it leaves you broken and to find a way out to some sort of sanity … it is remarkable. I can imagine some saying that this book is too graphic, too detailed but when I think of the horrors of human trafficking, I don’t think that anything can be too much as we need to be reminded over and over again what it does to our fellow humans so that we are vigilant and step up when needed. I am grateful to Shandi that she does not shy away to tackle something so dark that one could easily lost their way so I want to leave you with what Trey says to K to bring her back from the darkness she has gotten lost in : “The dark won’t last forever. Even on the blackest nights, stars still shine through. Let me be that star for you, Duchess. Let me guide you out of the dark.”

The only word I can say on this is WOW! Trey: European Redemption (Russian Mob Chronicles Book 7) by Shandi Boyes was intense! Trey is book 7, so I do recommend reading the others first but you don’t have to. You can read this as a standalone novel. Trey is a part of the mafia world. So needless to say that he has demons and is quite broken in his own right. Kristina, who was a part of the sex trafficking world has demons of her own and is also a bit broken. Trey sees that in her and understands her kind of hurt. This book is very raw and dark. The sex scenes are quite explosive. It is a very in your face kind of book. Like I said before it is quite intense, which will have you turning pages continuously. For me, it was so very good! I have no problem recommending this book to someone who likes gritty and dangerous books. This book will suck you in and become intoxicating. I truly hope there are more to this series and can’t wait to read more!

This story is a dark romance and can trigger some bad feelings. The story has sex-trafficking in the story line. Shandi Boyes attention to detail that this warning needs to be made. The characters are complex, and what they go through is character building. The struggles they go through kept me reading to the very end. Kristina is the young lady who was taken for a royal-blooded aristocrat who had to have her. He sexually assaulted her for six years and she did not have that in her heart, but she did show the abuse physically. That is until Trey comes along. Trey has the self esteem level as Kristina. Will Trey rescue Kristina and will Kristina rescue Trey right back? You will have to read the story to find out what happens to Trey and Kristina.

The Trouble with Paradise is the fourth book in The Madeline Dawkins Series by Cynthia Hamilton which is a thriller. I have loved this series since the first book, and this one didn’t disappoint. Again, we follow Mike and Madeline who I come to love more as each book comes. This story follows the death of two different guys and whose wives need help bringing the truth to light. You won’t be disappointed with this book, it’s a really good read that answers some questions.

The Slaughter of Leith Hall is a historical fiction murder mystery, and a good one at that! The author did an amazing job setting everything up, and keeping you guessing as to what’s coming next! I do not usually read this genre, but I enjoyed every page of this book! If you’re a history buff, I definitely recommend this book to you! I very much look forward to reading more from Lexie in the future!

Trey: European Redemption (Russian Mob Chronicles Book 7) by Shandi Boyes
5 Stars
So I totally messed up reading this book, I only read the very first Nikolai then jumped into this one…For me this was a big mistake. I was so confused trying to remember things and could tell there was so much that happened in between…but in true Shandi fashion she made it to where I’d get over those moments and then couldn’t put the book down. Shandi Boyes is in a class of her own, her talent is unmatched in these types of books. I will remedy my situation and have all of these books read in order very soon!
The action, the suspense, the emotion, the danger, the never knowing what’s going to happen next made this book completely amazing. There were parts that were seriously hard to read, but it’s a dark mafia romance..that kind of comes with the territory.
I’m completely amazed at how this author can continue to release all of these books in all different series and each one feels completely new. Her stories are never predictable and I love that. I loved K and Trey, I loved their sweet sides and their not so sweet sides, and how they bridged the communication gap they had.
I totally loved this book and in my opinion even though it can be read I suppose as a stand alone I truly believe they all need to be read in order.
Thank you Shandi Boyes for yet another awesome story!

This is a really great mystery book, the characters and the story line are fresh and different than your average mystery. The main character Logan is a strong woman who is recovering her life with a good attitude. I really enjoyed this first book and I am looking forward to the next one. Author Valerie Davisson has done a nice job with the details on the glassblowing details, and all the characters.

This book is historically realistic and the writing captivated me from the very start. The mystery and suspense that takes a hold of this story and the paintings are all fascinating to be a part of as a third eye of the reader. I love a good mystery and a character that’s out to solve said mystery. I’m definitely looking out for the next of this series and where the characters will bring us next!

I’m never quite prepared for the rollercoaster I embark upon when I pick up a book from Boyes. But it is the best kind of thrill ride. Twists and turns and moments that take your breath away. I’ve read a few other books from this series and have greater desire to reread those books as well as pick up the rest. Boyes is a gifted writer, one that captures intense moments that grip you and leave you glued to your chair. I loved every suspense filled moment and that there is a fantastic romantic storyline tying it together. Fantastic!

A historical story that takes place in Scotland after the battle at Culloden, the final confrontation of the Jacobite army with the English. Charlie Rob has worked for the Leith family and has grown into taking on new duties for them. His search for truth and justice after a murder makes you root for him in so many ways. I loved how history was woven in with Charlie’s experiences. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in historical fiction. I’ll definitely be checking out this author’s future books.
