My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so excited to be able to go on yet another adventure with Emma and the gang and during my favorite time of the year no less. It’s the Christmas season, and of course more mystery abounds. The book is written to pick up where the last book left off, but also allows new readers to quickly join in on the fun without being confused about past events that brought our beloved characters to where they currently are in their lives. I really enjoyed this book just like the others, with all of its historical facts and charisma, and I hope to see more of the Notebook Mysteries series in the future.

Fast forward to 1887, we return with another promising adventure. Emma awakes in a dangerous situation. At first it seems that she is alone, but Dear One is with her. The circumstances of their situation are slowly revealed to the reader. Which appears to be the first mystery of many. This book, like the others in the series, is full of mystery, intrigue and plot twists. I have enjoyed it thoroughly and hope to find out where life takes Emma next.

It is now 1885, 2 years since the second book ended, and we finally get to find out who the narrator and the mysterious Dear One are referring to when the narrator speaks. This book follows suit if the series and continues with the mystery and intrigue. I won’t spoil any of the surprises but there are some repeat characters in this book which makes for a nice treat as well. I’m hooked and looking forward to the next adventure.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book picks up where it left off. It reminds readers of the previous story’s intrigue and mysteries, and also explains more about the events that led to present day events. It is now 1883 12 years after the last book began and 2 years after it ended. Emma the forever adventurer has new mysteries and secrets to unfold in this next installment of the notebook mysteries series. The book certainly doesn’t disappoint with its fair share of mystery and intrigue. I am looking forward to reading the next book and seeing what new adventures Emma finds herself in.

The Colors of Love (The Colors Trilogy Book 2) by K.R. Raye – Review by Deborah White

The Colors of Love (Colors Trilogy, #2)The Colors of Love by K.R. Raye
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a story about love in the African American community. It shows the love of friends Lance, Melody, and Imani. This book touches on a lot of sensitive subjects such as domestic violence, suicide, promiscuity, interracial dating, and even crossing unspoken lines in relationships. I feel this is a good read for young adults, especially those who are still finding their way. The story telling lends itself to be read by any gender and a wide range of ages, but is best suited for more mature audiences. I didn’t read the first book but had no trouble following along with the storyline and I’m looking forward to reading the third installment of this series to see how the story further unfolds.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moby Plays the Flute is a nice short story. Although this book is recommended for younger children, it shows audiences of all ages that sometimes we have to keep working for something that we want to achieve and not everything is what it seems. The story teaches many lessons including the value of patience and perseverance.

This was a great children’s book. It is short but still conveys a message that is good for young children to learn, working together and the value of friendship. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to sharing this with my future children and hope they enjoy it as much as I did.
