Dreamscape (J.J. Morris Mysteries) by J.N. Sheats – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

DreamscapeDreamscape by J.N. Sheats
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dreamscape is Book Two in the JJ Morris Mystery Series. If you have not yet read the first book in the series, I recommend that you do because it will provide details on Joey’s backstory. This is a YA story with mystery, danger, action, suspense, paranormal, and intrigue. Joey is now in college and attempting to be a normal college student. However, that proves to be exceedingly difficult after being introduced to the paranormal world and a horde of black dogs. Joey finds sleep to be difficult due to the vivid dreams that she has, especially as the dreams become more intense and violent under the control of the Dream Conductor. Then there is the black cat that keeps appearing in her room and Joey cannot figure out how the cat keeps getting in or why it insists on keeping her sleep deprived. When weird little fires start popping up all over campus, people start to disappear, and weird things start to happen things become sinister. Joey is already struggling to be the perfect student and maintain perfect grades, but the strange and sinister happenings cause even more of a distraction. Around every corner, behind every door, and inside every person she meets could be something paranormal. A fantastic read with great world building, vivid scene descriptions, and fantastic characters that fully immerse you into the story from the start. Looking forward to the next book in this fantastic series!

Knight In Peril (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery) by Alice Bienia – Review by Brandy Rymer

Knight In Peril (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery #6)Knight In Peril by Alice Bienia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in the Jorja Knight mystery series, and it just keeps getting better and better. When I finished the last book in this series, I was so excited to get started on this next book and read all about how Jorja would be going on vacation to travel with her best friend Gabriella. As with any mystery story, you know a private investigator isn’t going to get a vacation that easily. This book lived up to my expectations and then so much more, it has such amazing world-building, along with descriptions of places all around the world taking me to places I’ve never even dreamed of going. I love the descriptions and the situations that our main character is put into, they are so realistic, it’s exactly what I would expect to happen when traveling so far away from home. The fear and anxiety that this story provokes are so amazing, I was worried for Jorja and Gabriella both, never knowing what might happen next. This book kept me on my toes, I was unable to put it down until I got through the entire book in one sitting! I am now going to go back and start back at book number 1 and read through the entire series because if the first 4 books are anything like the last two, I’ve read, I cannot wait to dive in for the ride of my life! Solving mysteries and fighting crime, what an amazing way to spend my day from the comfort of my own home.

Knight In The Museum (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery) by Alice Bienia – Review by Brandy Rymer

Knight In The Museum (Jorja Knight #5)Knight In The Museum by Alice Bienia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the first book I’d read in the Jorja Knight mystery series, and I absolutely loved it! This story had me following along every twist and turn with all the different clues Jorja kept following along as she tried to piece together the mystery behind the death of former PI Howard’s untimely demise. The characters were developed so dynamically, that you wondered who may have been involved in the obvious crimes committed. I was shocked at all of the different clues that Jorja was able to uncover from such little nuggets of information she was able to find, it showcased the powerful job that she performed as a private investigator. The outcome of what was going on was astounding, I was shocked, but excited at the same time when I got to the end of the book with how everything had turned out. There are a lot of surprises that you could never have guessed, which is something that only the best mystery books contain. I can’t wait to read more of this series by this author, I feel like there is so much I don’t know about the main characters that I’m excited to go back and learn about them.

Jorja and her best friend, Gabriella Rizzo, have booked a vacation to Istanbul. Upon her arrival, she finds it odd that Gabriella isn’t there to greet her at the airport as planned. When she sees that her bestie has left her items in the place they’re to be staying she knows something is up. It was no use alerting the police because they didn’t take her seriously. She has no jurisdiction in that country to even begin to look for Gabriella, so what is she to do? Everything seems to be working against her and time may br running out for both of them. This was a gripping and fast paced mystery thriller that kept me glued to the pages. If mystery or crime solving of any kind is for you I highly suggest reading this book. I’m sure any one of these books in the series would be great to add to your library.

Jorja is asked by a young lady to investigate the death of her father who was a police officer. As she starts digging she finds that a cursed pre-Columbian artifact is linked as well as another suspicious death. The more she digs, the more she puts her own life at risk. Knight in the Museum is a fast paced mystery that will keep you turning the pages. This was the first book I have read by this author and I absolutely enjoyed it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From the very beginning this book grabbed me instantly in. Page one and on, the author’s ability to describe situations and Jorja’s emotions, I knew I was going to be able physically feel what Jorja is feeling. There were so many twists and turns, and heart stopping moments I couldn’t put the book down. This was the sixth book in the series and I didn’t feel like I needed to read the first five to understand what was going on, however, I’m pulled in and will be going reading book one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lost and Found is the latest book in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series and I can’t get enough! I hope it’s not the last!! This WHOLE series has been amazing! Each book grips you into its pages and has you glued to them and your seat until you finish them all!! You COULD read them as standalones, but just don’t! Just read them all and in order! I read the 8th one first and I couldn’t wait to get into the others. So trust me! Read them ALL!! You will not regret it! Now to this wonderful book!! Logan is once again caught in the middle of an investigation of not one, but two murders. Sam’s friend is accused of the second murder, but he swears that he is innocent. Evidence that incriminates him says otherwise though and he’s arrested. Sam asks Logan for help. Logan once again puts herself in danger to help protect and prove innocent, the people she cares about. Things get a bit more complicated with a missing person and no one is at all as they seem!!! The more she learns ,the more confused she becomes. With a target on her back once again, she must find the real killer! Many twists and turns in this book just like the others in the series. I loved learning about the crab fishing in this book! Each book has something that is so cool to learn about. I don’t’ know which one is my favorite!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boy oh boy, does this series just hook you right away and keep you reeling in more and more with each new book!! This is book 7 in the Logan McKenna series and let me tell you that you can’t go wrong with any of them! They are so great. You could read them all as standalones, but I really really suggest that you just read them all. You will not regret it and I personally think that it adds to the world that the author has cast for us all. Poor Logan is defiantly a magnet for all kinds of trouble. With each new book she faces more and more mystery and danger. In this one, she gets away to Oregon for a little while and starts a private school consulting job, but of course she trips over a dead body and it thrown into yet another murder mystery! And yet again she finds herself investigating to prove who the killer is and who it isn’t! Trying to save her friends, once again she puts herself at risk to catch who the real killer is. Just like the other books, this one has some twists. I love reading a book where I don’t know who the killer is right away. I can normally spot it right away with every movie I see. With these books I love that I can’t!! I can’t wait to read finish to this set! It’s coming to soon, but I still can’t wait!

Lies That Bind (Logan McKenna Series Book 6) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn

Lies That Bind (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 6)Lies That Bind by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the sixth book to the Logan McKenna series and let me tell you that these books just get better and better. You follow Logan throughout many ups and downs in her life. You get a glimpse of quite a few things along the way too! Logan just seems to be followed by murder mysteries! In this book Logan and Ben have bought a fixer upper (just like her last place) on the Oregon Coast. It’s so neat because this home was owned by a family since the prohibition days!! So many hidden treasures and secrets to be found! Things being in surface after someone is found dead in the Collins Hotel pool. Of course, poor Logan finds herself immersed into yet another mystery. Was this accident or murder?!?! She again finds herself in danger, but things are strange. Maybe she’s cursed! Never a dull moment as she investigates the death, meets her new half-sister, and deals with the house with Ben!! And all at once! Whew! Craziness! You CAN read all the books to this set (so far) as standalones, BUT I really suggest that you just read them all in order! I read the 8th one first and it didn’t hurt, but you will miss the natural flow of the books and all the growth throughout for each of the the wonderful characters. I can’t wait to see what Logan will be up to in the next few books. I’m a little sad that I’m getting close to the end of the series 🙁

Safe Harbor is book 5 to the Logan McKenna series. You could read it as a standalone, but I would personally suggest that you just read them all!

So of course she is trust back into the life of investigator. Digging into another murder she has to find the killer before she goes down for the crime herself!! This author has hooked me from book one, but man let me tell you that so far they are all so great!!!! You have to read this series!!

When I say that this series is just getting better and better with each book, you just need to take my word for it. But also read this set!!!!!

Determined to find the truth Logan yet again dives into the mystery. The police investigation stalls, but that never stopped Logan before and it won’t now.

You will love them!! Danger, suspense, abuse, family and friends, intrigue, and of course murder!!

Valerie has done it again!! Another gripping mystery thriller. Now you don’t HAVE to read the others in the series, in fact I read the 8th book before an of the others. The author is wonderful at sneaking in previous information to keep you caught up. BUT let me tell you that if you don’t read the other books in the series you are MISSING OUT!!!! I have loved them all so far and you will too. In this book Logan is visiting Portland, a small vacation with her new boyfriend and to do a little recon on a school and it’s program that lines up with her own new career. She’s loving the city, the sights, and of course all the wonderful food! But then a horrible explosion destroys a food truck near her hotel and she knows the owner who was killed in the blaze. Of course Logan’s new friend and a Vietnam vet are the top suspects, but she knows better. Not knowing if it was an accident or done on purpose, Logan starts digging into the mystery. Without knowing who to trust she dives in to intestate all while trying to deal with her own personal life, which is also having some issues of it’s own. Secrets and lies unravel and while bringing everything to the surface her own life is once again in the cross fire of the real killer. I’m not going to give anything away, but boy oh boy does this story get good!! I love a great mystery!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a gripping mystery crime thriller with lots of action and adventure!! This set of books had me not wanting to sleep so I could finish them! I, of course had to sleep, so it took me longer than I even wanted, but I was not disappointed at all!! The author weaves these stories so well. I could easily see these as movies! With this first book the author paints you a picture of a local arts festival that is based around glass blowing demonstrations. You are placed into their world of art and music. But then a young glassblower is brutally murdered at the festival before hours. Logan has lost so much. Her husband, the company they built together, her music, and probably her job that she really came to enjoy. Having the summer “off” because she’s a teacher, a couple friends invite her to the festival to help with their booth. She of course is excited to help and to make a little income while waiting to see her fait with the schoolboard. Her friend Thomas is accused of the murder and Logan isn’t convinced. He refuses to defend himself and Logan doesn’t understand why. She starts to look into the glassblowers and everyone connected to them. There is more to this murder and with a slam-dunk suspect the detective isn’t looking elsewhere. Logan digs into secrets while diving into the world of glassblowing. The real killer becomes more dangerous and Logan must find out who it is before it’s to late for her friend, but also herself! With killer now after her, can she find the proof needed to free her friend before she herself is killed? Such a great book!! I didn’t see a few things coming and it was so wonderful! I love it when I can’t guess who the killer is right away. I can’t wait to finish the whole set!!

Knight In Peril (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery) by Alice Bienia – Review by Kerry Carr

Knight In Peril (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery #6)Knight In Peril by Alice Bienia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in the Jorja Knight Mysteries Series. I loved this story and was hooked from the first page. The author has a way of writing that grips you from the first page and doesn’t let go. I haven’t read many in this Series but it didn’t stop me enjoying this book so I feel they can be read as standalone.
In this story we are with PI Jorja Knight as she arrives in Istanbul to spend time with her best friend Gabriella.
However things don’t go to plan and Gabriella doesn’t meet Jorja at the airport. Was it just a mistake?
When Jorja checks in and realises that Gabriella checked in days ago but is no where to be found, then Jorja starts to worry. Could something bad have happened to her best friend?
She is now on a race against time to find her friend however it won’t be easy as she had to work her way through secrets, lies and deceit as well as corrupt politicans and witnesses bribed to change their story.

It is a rollercoast of a ride but Jorja is determined not to give up until she locates her friend. You won’t be able to put this book down until you get to the end. I was completely invested in Jorja’s fight to get to the truth and find her friend.

I absolutely loved the last book in this series and had to see where this next one takes Jorja. This time she travels to Turkey with her best friend, Gabrielle, but when she arrives, she is nowhere to be found. Not answering her phone, suitcases located and no one has her from her in days. This has Jorja left baffled at her missing friend in a foreign country. All possible theories come into question and the fact she is in unfamiliar territory makes the possibilities endless. While discovering secrets and lies, she starts uncovering what lies beneath of what is going on in the city of Istanbul. Seeing how strong and inquisitive Jorja gets in each of her cases shows such strength and courage even when personal matters get tangled in the midst of her investigations. Wonderful story and series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Even though this is the fifth book in the series, this read was my first one in the series. When jumping into a series, you never know what to expect whether to be thrown off in details from picking up in the middle of the series or being able to flow again with the story at hand. It was so great reading details brought back from previous ones to help better understand the characters and past experiences. Then in itself, learning of this crime that had taken place when a private investigator goes missing and then found dead, many questions come back. Jorja, a strong female character who is a private investigator and helps try to solve the mystery of the murder of a former police officer. With the unraveling mystery behind this murder, a pending label on a current fling and venturing through the Canadian badlands, there are twists and turns that make this read worth the while!

Joey just wants to be a normal college student and after what she went thru learning about the paranormal I don’t blame her. When fires start breaking out on campus and Joey doesn’t think much about it but when she realizes Gwen is investigating she starts to wonder if this is some of the supernatural stuff. More fires are breaking out and Joey is having crazy dreams and she’s not sure what’s going on anymore. This book will grab you by the pants and have you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

Logan hasn’t been in a holiday in a long time and heading to Oregon with Ben is just what they need.

Logan and Ben seem to be having a good time and life seems “ normal “ but death seems to find Logan wherever she is , she’s like a magnet for it 🙈 this time she’s not only trying to investigate the homicide but now she’s a suspect 🤷‍♀️🙈

The worst things about our past is sometimes we have to face it and Logan finds herself in a predicament , a decision has to be made but it’ll effect not only her but others as well …..

I was lucky enough to have read the previous books but for those that haven’t , it’s written so well that you don’t feel lost but as I said I read them all so I say go for it 🥰📚

Again , I enjoyed every page and again I’m looking forward to the next instalment, what can I say if you’re good then you’re good 😉

Lost and Found is Book Nine in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series. It is a crime thriller with action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, murder, danger, lies, and drama. Logan is on another adventure that takes her into the world of commercial crabbing. When a dead body turns up Logan sets out to find out what happened. As she delves into the murder she discovers a tangled web of secrets, lies and deceit that slowly turns deadly. I love the character of Logan because she is smart, feisty, determined, and courageous. When the stakes get high, she delves in deeper and does not give up. The book takes some twists and turns that make it impossible to put down. Another great book in this series that kept me reading until the end to find out what happened next.

Knight In Peril (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery #6)Knight In Peril by Alice Bienia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Knight in Peril is the 6th book in the Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery series. I wouldn’t say this series necessarily needs to be read in order, the books work fine as standalones, but Knight in Peril will have more impact if you are already familiar with Gab from earlier books!

This story builds on anxieties around women travelling alone, as Jorja arrives in Istanbul to find her friend Gab is not there to meet her as planned. She then has to combine her skills as a PI with police forces in Istanbul and back home in Canada to try to find Gab, whilst also keeping herself safe alone in an unfamiliar country.

I love that in amongst the mystery plot we are treated to descriptions of Turkish food, landmarks and culture. It really feels like a holiday in a book! (albeit a dangerous and stressful one…).

I’d recommend this series to fans of suspenseful mysteries. It gets five stars from me!

Vanishing Day (Logan McKenna Series Book 4) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Heidi Sturgess

I’ve enjoyed this series so far but I must be honest this one has been my favourite so far !

So Logan’s new neighbour and her daughter are definitely hiding and or running from someone or something and she’s concerned for them ….

Lori was married to a nasty , narcissistic, abusive bully but she’s on the run and she’s got her daughter with her but she also has something to hold over her husband and he knows it and he’ll do anything to get his hands on it and he wants his daughter things escalate but lucky for Lori and her little girl they have Logan on their side and she’s a tough cookie our girl 😉 even in the face of danger

This was really a good read , I was in the edge of my seat quite a few times and I appreciate that the author dealt with the subject of domestic abuse in an honest yet sensitive way 🥰

Looking forward to the next instalment ❣️📚

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by J.N. Sheats and I fell in love. This book is a wonderful YA paranormal suspense with the supernatural, mystery, tension/angst, complex characters, ghosts, occult, slight horror, and wonderful world building. Even though it is YA, I think that older adults would definitely love this as well.

I did not read the first book in the series, but I do not feel like it made this book any less than because of that. With that said, I will be going back to read the first book. I can see a few areas in the book where knowledge from the first book would have been beneficial. I would recommend reading the first book and then this one, but it is not 100% necessary to understand and love this book.

The main character Joey is struggling to keep up with her normal day to day life, but she is also experiencing several supernatural events happening around her. She is desperately trying to find her new “normal” in college, but after everything that has happened, she is not sure if that is possible anymore. What is stalking her in her dreams? What is a dream and what is real? Will her life ever go back to normal?

If you enjoy books with supernatural, paranormal, with some mystery then you will most definitely enjoy this book! I cannot wait to read what comes next!

Dreamscape (J.J. Morris Mysteries) by J.N. Sheats – Review by Nichole Chrisman

Dreamscape (J.J. Morris)Dreamscape by J.N. Sheats
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series and while I didn’t read the first book I had no trouble catching up with what was going on. Joey used to be a star student until she was introduced to the things that go bump in the night. Now she sees potential ghosts and demons in the faces of everyone she meets. Not the best way to spend your first year in college. She also misses normal dreams, you know the kind you can forget. Now she remembers every detail, every emotion, and when the newest one is an explosion at the school she has to figure out what is going on. Can she figure out what caused the explosion before it actually happens? Will it actually happen or was it just a dream?

Lost and Found (Logan McKenna Mystery Book 9) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Lost and Found: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 9 (Logan McKenna Series)Lost and Found: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 9 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lost and Found is the 9th book in the Logan McKenna series, but it can be read as a stand alone. Logan always finds herself in the middle of mysterious criminal situations. She really should be an investigator, but she is a musician, teacher and tutor, as well as a business owner of a musical school. Her husband Ben, and her friend Sam overlap into most of the stories. They are good supporting characters, but there is enough detail in this story so you don’t feel like you are lacking. Logan’s friends are fishermen, and its their busy season. This year is a little rougher, with several deaths, missing persons, and suspected murders. Logan believes the wrong man was arrested for murder and spends her free time investigating and trying to clear his name. This was a good big, keeping me engaged ’til the very end.

The cover is what drew me at first. I’m happy to say that the story quickly grabbed my attention. The twists and turns, the mystery..loved it all. First book by this author and I realized I didn’t read the first of this series, so I’ll be going back to read that! I felt Joey’s character and I loved the way the author made it so easy to feel that with words. Incredible.
