Martimus (Feisty Lawyers Book 5)Martimus by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Martimus is already the fifth book in Seelie Kay’s Feisty Lawyers series. I cannot believe we are already at book number 5, it feels as if we just started! You could try to read the book as a standalone but I don’t know why one would do that as in my head the series builds the tension one book after another and you feel as if you know the gang and …yeah, do yourself a favour and start from the beginning!
Martimus gives us Agent Cate Creighton’s story who needs to figure out what is going on with all those socialites with influential parents disappearing while navigating her new relationship with a former US Navy Seal Warren Hazelton. Throw into the mix our favourite MI-6 agent Tillie Henderson and you will end up sitting at the edge of your seat until the last page! I think that the series gets better and better with each book and I cannot wait what the sixth book will throw at us!

Virtually Gone (High-Tech Crime Solvers #6)Virtually Gone by Jacquie Biggar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Virtually Gone by Jacquie Biggar is the sixth book in the High-Tech Crime Solvers series. This is a story full of suspense and intrigue that certainly keeps the pages turning.
The characters in this book have been well crafted. I liked the relationship between the two partners, I felt like they complimented each other well. Each seemed to the make up for the others flaws. They were determined to solve this case and find the person responsible and it was easy to feel their urgency behind it.
The story was also really well developed. I wanted to find out what was going on and to see how the book would turn out. I thought the author did a great job of keeping you guessing with some well timed twists and turns. It was a suspenseful story that definitely kept me interested. I enjoyed reading this book and will look forward to more in the future.

Martimus (Feisty Lawyers Book 5)Martimus by Seelie Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What happens when eight socialites go missing?, its’s up to Agents and the agency to help find whats happened and where they are.

This story starts with a bang and although over the months socialites have been going missing not until the kidnap of a former vice presidents daughter things starts getting more intense. When they are assigned the case its a race again time, but the Vice President mumbling about Martimus they have to try and find out a what this place is and where to locate it if it’s real.

This story has all the twists and turns of a great thriller which keeps you interest in the story and continue through the mystery trying to work out with the characters who is responsible and who to trust. The story is a unique one and with each twist you will be changing the narrative in your head as the author makes you work for the ending with the characters.

This is the first story I have read by this author and this will definitely not be the last one. I recommend this book if you love the adventure of a good thriller.

Boundaries (Scope of Practice Book 1)
by Jessica Aiken-Hall
5 out of 5 stars

I was drawn to Boundaries for several reasons. Perhaps the biggest one was that I had read Jessica Aiken-Hall’s memoir a while back and the raw and honest storytelling had me recovering for days and I was curious to see how memorable her writing would be in another avenue of writing.
Knowing what the author has disclosed of her past and the synopsis and excerpts from Boundaries, I anticipated an intense ride and I don’t know the last time I held so much hope and excitement before starting a novel.
As I had hoped and honestly expected, Boundaries was an excellent, captivating story. Unique and gripping, I couldn’t put the story down shortly after I started and I wholeheartedly heartedly look forward to more in the Scope of Practice series. 5 star rating for sure.

Boundaries (Scope of Practice, #1)Boundaries by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Valerie Williamson is about to find out what it takes to make someone really snap….She is a social worker, and between being forced to start a trauma support group and the death of a 19 year old, by the name of Cameran Davidson, she is pushed outside of her comfort zone.
Valerie has always kept strict boundaries, which make her a little distant and never like getting too close. These barriers stem from her past, which have earned herself the reputation as the anti-social social worker. But the days of playing it safe are well and truly over.

When Valerie hears stories from the members of the group , the fire from her past explodes. A trauma that is coming back to haunt her. She has to do what she knows is right, and some boundaries that need to be crossed. She is about to discover a lot more than she bargained for, that is guaranteed.

Boundaries is the first book in the Scope of Practice series and a very enjoyable read. It is fast paced, full of action, suspense and the characters are very relatable. There is also humour thrown into the story too, which is really refreshing.
The story was very well written, therefore, it made me race through the book. Really looking forward to the next instalment.

I loved this series. I was excited to see them all in one box set. This is a great series that is full of suspense and action. They are engaging stories that are fast paced and hard to put down. The characters in each book I had no problems connecting to. They made the stories easy to read and kept it moving. I was pulled into each of the stories with the author’s attention to detail. Charlotte is featured in each book in one capacity. She puts herself in danger to get what she wants but you will have to read this series to find out more. The twists and turns she takes you on left me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Ashes To Ashes Boxset (books 1-3)Ashes To Ashes Boxset by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ashes to Ashes boxed set is a group of Psychological suspense thrillers that will keep you on the edge of your set and heart pumping. What could be better than having them all there so you don’t have to wait, because you won’t want to.

Bad Things Happen: Gripping Psychological Suspense (Ashes to Ashes Book 1) ​by Rowena Holloway is full of dark secrets and fraught with danger. This psychological thriller will have you on the edge of your seat while the suspense keeps you on your toes. The story often goes back in time but does so little by little just giving you a hint of a little bit more until the whole truth is revealed and boy does it have some twists. Charlotte Ashe is a weather girl working in London. When a hint of a story is thrown her way, little did she know that it would come with deadly consequences, secrets and lies, painful truths and so many cover ups that she would never be the same. With so many players uncovering the truth from the lies, before it’s too late may just be her undoing.

Less You Know: gripping suspense (Ashes to Ashes Book 2) is the second book in the series and you really need to read Bad Things Happen, the first book in the series as it lays the groundwork for this book. Less You Know is a psychological thriller that is dangerous, full of secrets and suspense and is full of many twists and turns that you don’t know what is going to happen, even when you think you do. Rowena’s skillful writing takes you on a gripping journey where you don’t know who is who and what is what. Charlotte Ashe once again finds herself in the thick of things when her friend is missing. Investigating is in her blood but at what cost. The closer she gets, the more she finds out and the more danger she is in, shows just how much she doesn’t know who her friend is and the many secrets she holds.

From The Ashes (Ashes to Ashes #3) is the third book in the Ashes to Ashes series. I recommend reading the previous books before this one. This story starts off with a bang. It’s intense right from the beginning and you just can’t stop reading. Part of what makes this book so suspenseful is the back and forth of the timeline. It keeps the answers just out of reach and creates the drive to keep focused so you can figure it all out. I won’t get into details, because I don’t want to give away any of the plot turns. Suffice it to say, this book is spectacularly suspenseful, marvelously mysterious, and a dangerously delicious read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book really made me think about my boundaries. Jessica Aiken-Hall does a masterful job in this suspenseful, mystery, crime genre. There are twists and turns and drama around every corner. The main character is smart, witty, and an introvert. This story kept me at the edge of my seat. Valerie is the “anti-social social worker”. She works with people who are primarily dead. This is one part of her job she likes. She has boundaries and she sticks to them. If you have boundaries how willing are you to cross them. In this book, Valerie has to cross them. I highly recommend this story. It will keep you going to the last word.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Boundaries is the first book in the Scope of Practice series by Jessica Aiken-Hall. It was not at all what I expected, but I still enjoyed it. I am curious to see what will come in a followup book. The book centers around Valerie Williamson, an anti-social social worker for a hospital. Her office is in the basement, and rarely gets visitors, as she likes it. She has closed herself off from the world for half her life, but I will not say why. It is a big reveal that guides the direction of the story. Her boss instructed her to start a support group for those suffering trauma. At first she hates the idea, but after the first session yields a small group of women, she discovers maybe she needs this group as much as they need her. There are a couple interesting turn of events, but I don’t want to spoil anything. I will just say, I didn’t see it coming.

Martimus by Seelie Kay is the fifth book in the Feisty Lawyers series. This is a brilliant series with strong storylines and even stronger characters.
This book drew me in immediately. The story was such an intriguing one and I was desperate to see how they would pull their plans off. The whole way through I found myself trying to figure the whole thing out and found myself jumping from one idea to the next. The author keeps the book exciting with twists and turns the whole way through.
So far this book has to be my favourite of the series. It really had me hooked and I could not put it down until the last page – and even after that I found myself thinking about it! This is a fantastic book and I would recommend giving the whole series a read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Boundaries (Scope of Practice Book 1) by Jessica Aiken-Hall is a heavy read but an intriguing crime read. It touches on hideous crimes that were committed on these characters and what that does to them. It is a very emotive and suspenseful story where events eventuate that you did not see coming. It shows just how far someone is willing to go to right wrongs even they did not see coming. Is revenge as sweet as it sounds?

Overworked and underpaid Valerie is told she is to run a support group that deals with people and trauma. Trauma she can deal with people not so much. Little did she realise but she finds herself becoming more immense in the group and boundaries are thrown out the window.

I have seen a sneak peak of the next book in the series and can’t wait to get my hands on it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Book Signing To Die For is a wonderful murder mystery novel by Judy Moore. Beck O’Rourke is a lover of mysteries, just like her mother. She owns a bookstore and coffee shop, Beach Reads, with her grandmother in Manatee Beach, Florida. Beck, her grandmother, and Beck’s little sister Lizzie live above the bookstore. Beck tries hard to make the bookstore a local hang out place, but her grandmother is stuck in her ways and is strictly business. With a bestselling mystery writer coming to do a book signing, Beck is super excited, until someone from the audience dies! Now Beck can use all her detective skills she gained from her mystery novels to try to catch the killer. She’s able to make a little head way but some people aren’t happy with her progress. This novel was entertaining, enthralling, and kept me on my toes. Just when I thought I knew who the killer was, I would be thrown a curveball. I highly recommend this mystery and look forward to reading other stories by this author.

The 3rd installment of Madeline Dawkins series! This book digs into human trafficking as Madeline (a PI in her own right) and her business partner and friend Mike are asked to help search for two missing sisters from Minnesota. What will Madeline and Mike find as the search intensifies?

One of the things I like best about the Madeline Dawkins series is how Madeline’s character keeps learning and changing. It’s so much more like real life, it make you connect with the characters better.

I give A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore, 5 stars.

I really enjoy cozy mysteries and this book intrigued me, so I thought I would try it. Besides, what’s not to like about books, coffee, pets, and a beach setting? It led up to my expectations and then some. The characters were great — Beck is a great main character and the secondary characters compliment the book so well. My favorite is Beck’s grandmother. Just wait until you meet her!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a cozy mystery without a murder and the main character trying to solve it, now would it? In great Agatha Christie fashion, we have a whole slew of choices for the killer. The author does not make it obvious either. And the motive? I never saw it coming!

If you enjoy cozy mysteries with fun, great characters, in a usually peaceful setting, I highly recommend this book. I really hope there will be more books revolving around Beach Reads.

This was an amazing crime story which I loved. I was totally captivated by it from the start and thought I knew who the murderer was but boy was I wrong. The twists and turns are so good it keeps you guessing.

Beck and her gran run a book shop/cafe. After holding a book signing for a popular author, a lady who attended turns up dead. Was it a robbery or was it just plain murder.

When the police seem like they are on the wrong track Beck decides to take it upon herself to do some search of her own.

What she discovers about the lady who died and her connections keeps the suspect list growing and you never know who it is.

Will the police send the wrong man to jail or will Becks hard detective work solve who the true killer was before they strike again.

A Book Signing To Die For is the first book I have read by author Judy Moore. What a fun setting for a book – Beck O’Rourke and her Grandma Alice co-own Beach Reads bookstore. Wouldn’t that be fun? Grandma Alice is a no nonsense, say it as it is character, Lizzie the younger sister is a lifeguard who wants nothing to do with the bookstore, and Beck is the main character who can be shy but as she gets older she is growing out of her shyness and is finding her true calling.

The story gets your attention from the beginning. The Beach Reads bookstore sounds like a wonderful shop to visit. The premise of this book is that the bookstore has a book signign and a meet & greet with authors from time to time. On this fateful night, one of the book signing attendees is found dead near the shop. The mystery gets Beck to realize her passion of crime solving.

A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore is not her normal mystery story it is a fast paced cozy murder mystery. Judy has written the story that throws you of course, just when you think you are getting to the “whodunnit”. There are twists and turns, thrills and spills, danger and lies, and definitely keeps you guessing. The characters are likable and realistic and the world in which Judy paints is so vivid you can clearly see it. I loved Lizzy’s grandma, she is such a hoot, sassy and independent woman who knows her own mind. It is a great read to get lost in and I can’t wait to see what Judy brings us next.

Mike and Madeline are working separately for the first time since opening up their agency. Mike’s in LA helping his cousin while Madeline is in San Louis Obispo trying to track down a daughter who doesn’t want to be found. I liked Madeline from the beginning but I think I love her now. She is a bad chick and not afraid of anything at this point. And holy cow, what about Mike!? He moved up the ladder a lot after reading this.

Two very determined people will get things done and they certainly do here. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend you give it a read.

5 out of 5 stars

The story Virtually Gone (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 6) by Jacquie Biggar is a thrilling book to read. It pulled me in from the start and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a story that has mystery, suspense, and danger. I loved reading about the characters of Julie Crenshaw and Matthew Roy. Julie is an investigative reporter who when on a story is determined to follow it to its conclusion. The one that she is on now could be the case of a lifetime. Matthew is a detective who is frustrated by the fact that he hasn’t been able to bring a rapist to justice. When the suspect escalates his crime to murder, Matthew knows that he has to bring him in. The one question is how? Read this book to see if Matthew solves the case. This is a story that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I loved the way that the author writes about the technology used in the investigation. I also enjoyed the interactions and bantering back and forth between the characters. This is a fast-paced book that will keep you guessing. I highly recommend reading it.

I can say it has an intricate plot that totally blind sided me. But there’s so much more to this story. Not only has Ms. Hamilton created a great story she doubled it up. You get two for one in this escapade. Madeline’s story and Mike’s story. I love all things Madeline and Mike but I especially love the way Madeline works through her own tragedies. We get an up close and personal look at how someone copes with the traumas of life. Great mystery, great action and just the right touch of good clean romance. Cynthia Hamilton is a name I will remember and one I will only be too happy to pass along to others.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another great read for this series. Two mysteries send these 2 in separate directions but it doesn’t end there. I hate even thinking of giving something away in a mystery so I’ll let you be the judge when you read this. I cannot wait for the next book after how this one ended!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Girl Trap is the third book in Cynthia Hamilton’s Girl Trap series and another 4 star read. Much like the first two books in the series, Girl Trap provided enough twists and turns in it’s storyline to keep me interested from start to finish. The books flow well and honestly, I continue to enjoy Madeline and the character growth and progression she’s shown throughout the series and I truly look forward to seeing what else Madeline (and Cynthia Hamilton) has in store for us.
