My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A dress to remember by K.L. Small is a story full of magic and love. The magical experience of it being a children’s story made it all that more enjoyable.

Strong-willed For her birthday in two weeks, Princess Zarina desires a unique outfit for the Royal Promotion Ceremony. She bargains with an enigmatic dressmaker for a ball gown that will be remembered by all. For her, the dressmaker fashioned a stunning black gown. Zarina had not anticipated this clothing, though. Even more so when fire fairies twirl over the skirt.

Zarina becomes stuck within the enchanted dress after the arrangement with the dressmaker goes awry. She is on her own to make it back to the castle. But, attackers overrun the country and slay the King and Queen. Zarina the Princess must avoid being taken.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even more one of kind characters. The story really transports you into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As a member of the Morpheus Society, an elite, highly trained group of Mediums, Madame Chalamet is required to provide mentorship to an aspiring Medium at least once every ten years. Not a job she much enjoys, Madam Chalamet is even more disgruntled to have been saddled with a know-it-all of an apprentice who touts natural talent ahead of book smarts. When the Duke de Archembeau appears with a nobleman friend who’s daughter has recently disappeared, she displays her own natural talents of Ghost Talking to discover what has happened to the missing daughter and her attractive maid.
This thoroughly enjoyable series continues to entertain, moving through new mysteries and tales of love, while simultaneously furthering the heroine’s personal motives of learning the identify of her father’s killer.
Anxiously awaiting Book 4!

By Byrd Nash
4 Stars

This series is so fun to read! Madame Chalamet can communicate with the dead. She is intelligent, independent and daring. She also helps the Gendarme in solving murders which usually puts her in precarious situations. This story is no different. Although each book in the series is connected, it can be read as a stand-alone. You won’t have too much trouble following the underlying story.

In this book, Madame Chalamet is saddled with an apprentice, Twyla. Twyla is an eager student who unfortunately speaks before thinking. It ends up for some awkward situations. Not having seen the Duke de Archambeau for a few months, he enters Madame’s life with the disappearance of a Baron’s daughter. Nothing is simple in this ghost talker’s life. The disappearance of the young lady is linked to someone in Madame Chalamet’s past. Once again in danger, can Chalamet make it through this as et alive?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third instalment of the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries. I would recommend reading the first 2 books as they give more information on the background and relationships between the characters.

I found this book to be slightly more serious than the others but is still as entertaining and gripping as the first two. I enjoyed the progression of the underlying story running through each book – things are starting to come together for Elinor’s personal mystery.

There continues to be character development in this instalment which I enjoy, particularly seeing a more vulnerable side to Elinor in the new challenges and dangers she faces on her way to completing her ‘mission’. She remains a strong character as we learn more about her when catching glimpses beneath the armour as her limits are tested.
I wasn’t expecting the introduction of the new character, Twyla, to be so significant. She presents as such a contrast to Elinor as she seems to fumble about, trying to get her bearings and making mistakes which require rectifying, that it creates a new and interesting dynamic to the group leading me to question the impact moving forward.

Another aspect I particularly enjoyed, was the continuing build in attraction between Elinor and Tristan Fontaine and the development of their relationship. I love their back and forth and I find myself rooting for the growing relationship – I often smile when reading their interactions.

Once again while this is a fairly short novella, there’s so much packed into it that you don’t miss a thing. While I wish the stories were longer, they are written in a way that that although short doesn’t take away from the great story line or negatively impact the plot.
It’s paced well to suit its length and once again I am left anxiously awaiting the next book in the series!

This is a cute story that easily kept my interest. There is a lot of action and suspense. I really wanted to know what could possibly happen next. At first I really disliked the main character, Zarina. She annoyed me with her spoiled bratty selfishness. As the story moved along and she started making changes 8 actually became invested in her, her dress and her story.

Overall this is a delightful fantasy story. I would recommend for a younger audience (tween). This is a first time author for me. The story has nice flow and easily engages the reader.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spirit Guide, by Byrd Nash, is the third in a six-part ghost paranormal series, which includes Ghost Talker, Delicious Death, Spirit Guide, Gray Lady, Underground Haunt, and Ghastly Mistake.

I highly recommend reading book 1 and 2 before devouring this third installment as you will learn much about our main characters, their relationship thus far, and backstory as they worked their previous cases. Byrd Nash weaves such masterful stories of intrigue and mystery that will have you trying to recognize all the clues so you can figure out the culprits right along with the main characters.

In this installment we find our heroine, Madame Elinor Chalamet, being saddled with an apprentice, Twyla, who is far from knowing everything she should. These two, along with Tristan Fontaine, the Duke de Archambeau, try to help figure out the disappearance of a couple of young women, one of whom is linked to the Morpheus Society. It’s during this investigation that Elinor learns that her nemesis, Parnell Lafayette, has stumbled on new paranormal techniques that are scary and dangerous.

Tristan and Elinor also start to grow closer in this installment, though the snarky banter I’ve come to love from these too is still very present. This is definitely a slow burn romance, which is not my usual style, but I love seeing their slower pace because it allows me to see them grow as people and as a potential couple. I honestly can’t wait to read the next installment as Ms. Nash made me fall in love with these characters through her descriptive writing, amazing mystery plot twists, and humorous banter between characters. You should definitely pick this series up as it just keeps getting better.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Madame Elinor Chalamet returns in another ghostly mystery to be solved, together with Tristan Fontaine, the Duke de Archambeau in the city of Alenbonné, she is still on the hunt for her fathers murderer, but when she is tasked to find a missing lady and her maid by the Duke, as the missing person is the daughter of a friend, she prepares to investigate. Although, as ever, nothing is smooth sailing for Elinor and as all the interviews have been completed and any new leads turn to naught, things seem to come to a standstill, or at least they appear to, until a visit to an old friend connects two seemingly unconnected facts.

Meanwhile, she is discovering that training an apprentice is just as frustrating as she expected, in some ways, it is even more so, especially when her apprentice acts before they think and their bumbling and clumsy nature causes more extra stress on already stressful case and as if that isn’t enough, another rather drunken and worse for wear friend, turns up and makes Elinor feel guilty and frustrated at the same time. This is as well as confusing feelings towards the prickly Duke and why he has been out of touch, despite the way they spent their last time together and how he just cannot seem to decide how he wants to treat her, but she doesn’t let this stop her from investigating in her own way, however he does insist that she has someone accompanying her when she does.

Things come to a head when it is discovered that her rival has become involved in something more than just ghost talking and that it may lead them to the missing young lady and her maid, but as she dips further into what this rival has been doing, she realises that she is going to have to break his trust and risk herself to find the missing girl, but will her ghost talking abilities lead her into more danger than she is expecting, or can she devise a plan to stop it all from going wrong? What will the Duke do when he discovers that she is missing, how far will he go and what will he do to those who stop him from trying to find her? This is another fast paced mystery where nothing is as it seems and danger lies around every corner, twisting and turning into a tangled web which has to be released so the end is revealed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries series. While these books can be read as a standalone I do recommend reading them in order so you can experience the full character growth and understand how they go to the positions they are in now.
We are back with Madame Chalamet and she now has a new apprentice. Things aren’t going great as her apprentice is scatty and not very disciplined even though she has the talent. Things get worse though when Madame Chalamet is approached by Duke de Archambeau to aid his friend in finding his missing daughter.
Things take a turn when the daughter maid is found murdered and with rumours of The Morpheus Society being involved in parties using chosen women as vessels to allow spirits to roam free Madame Chalament knows she needs to get to the bottom of this no matter the risk to herself.

What happened to the missing daughter? What happens to the women who are used at these parties? Have The Morpheus Society really sanctioned them? What dangers are lurking for Madame Chalament if she asks to many questions? And will the romance between the Duke and Madame Chalament finally take off?

These Mysteries will keep you on the edge of your seat with characters that are so well written you feel like you know them. The story keeps you guessing right to the end and i can’t wait to see what the author has planned next.

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series, I was looking forward to being back alongside Elinor Chalamet investigating another mystery. Ghost Talker Elinor, and love interest Tristan Fontaine, the Duke de Archambeau have to work together when a nobleman’s daughter goes missing. The pair must discover who has kidnapped her and why, but when others go missing they wonder if the missing girls are linked to a mysterious séance, where ghosts become flesh. Elinor is also still looking for her father’s killer in Alenbonné, and wonders if the Society is hiding something from her. When Elinor decides to investigate alone, despite Tristan demanding she doesn’t, she must use all her wits and ghost talking skills. However, when Tristan discovers that she is now also missing, no one can face his wrath! This is an entertaining story, with great character and a gripping storyline all of which kept me gripped throughout. As usual the descriptive narrative and historical details transported me back in time, making me feel immersed in Elinor’s world.

She has flaming red hair. Little does everyone know that she is actually an immortal god who can bring an end to the plague that has taken over the earth.

Spirit Guide (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #3)Spirit Guide by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spirit Guide is Book 3 in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Series. Madame Elinor Chalamet is approached by the Duke de Archambeau, Tristan Fontaine, to help a nobleman find his missing daughter. This time Madame Chalamet has more help than she can handle with the nobleman, Tristan, and an annoying apprentice. The nobleman seems to be gruff and hard to deal with. Tristan instructs Elinor to be careful and insists on her not investigating the case alone. Madame Chalamet’s young apprentice only adds extra stress because she seems reluctant to follow instructions. Matters only intensify when their investigation leads Elinor to her beloved Morpheus Society. Now she must determine if the Society is involved and if so, to what extent.

Book three follows with the relationship between Madame Elinor Chalamet and the Duke de Archambeau, Tristan Fontaine so I recommend reading the first two books. Their relationship is a bit complicated and it seems that there was a spark between them that started when they first met. Yet, neither Elinor nor Tristan seems to know what exactly their relationship is or if it will become more than what it is. Elinor is frustrated because Tristan seems to be attracted to her one minute but then practically shuns her the next. Their relationship started to unfold a bit more in this story and Tristan showed Elinor that he cared through his actions and wanting her to stay safe.

The characters are wonderful and it is easy to root for them. Elinor Chalamet is both a fantastic medium and detective. She is smart, strong, feisty, determined, headstrong, and hits the scariest of challenges head on. Tristan Fontaine is charismatic yet seems aloof and almost comes across as cold at first. In this story his character developed a bit more and we were able to see that his attitude and behavior are more like coping mechanisms. His heart has been scarred from a tragedy in his past and he is still trying to work through the demons of that painful past. Madame Chalamet’s new apprentice, Twyla, seems like a bumbling little twit who has no desire to listen to anyone and is determined to do things her own way. As the story unfolds it becomes clear that she has talents that she has kept well hidden out of fear of the trouble it may cause her. Those hidden talents come in handy for Elinor in this investigation.

I really enjoyed this storyline and the intensified paranormal aspect with the realms between the living and the dead. The involvement of the Morpheus Society was an intriguing twist to the story that added an extra layer of intensity and a layer of possible corruption from within the Society. The storyline kept me hooked to the end and contained a few twists and turns that kept me reading to the end. I highly recommend!

This super cute debut novel by KL Small was the perfect book for middle grade fantasy lovers. It was entertaining and well-written, which makes it excellent for capturing the attention of younger readers. There was also a lot of character development for the MC, Zarina, who was the selfish princess and the 13th child of the king and queen. When she and her aunt go to a dressmaker in the middle of the woods and she makes a deal for a magic dress, the adventure begins. I definitely think this is a book that will bring pleasure to it’s intended target age group.

A Dress To Remember: A Fairy TaleA Dress To Remember: A Fairy Tale by K.L. Small
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story gave me such Disney’s Brave vibes with the beginning of the story! I loved that Princess Zarina broke the rules about leaving the castle to see a witch to make her a gorgeous dress, so she would stand out at her Royal Advancement Ceremony. When she arrives and the dress isn’t what she wants, the witch leaves anyways and then her hut disappears as well, leaving the princess with a dress she doesn’t want, and cryptic words about how her fate will be revealed. Princess Zarina starts out as a spoilt princess, obsessed with her looks, but as the tale progresses, we see her grow into the type of heroine that is admirable. As the story progresses, you really see her learning how to use her new dress and discovering a world outside of her palace walls. The story is an action packed adventure with twists and turns, along with well written heroes and villains. This is an excellent book with a positive message that both young adults and older adults will enjoy. I can’t wait to see what new stories and adventure this author comes up with.

The third book, Spirit Guide, did not disappoint. As always the action begins right away sucking you in. This time girls are going missing. Elenor has been contracted by the Duke’s friend in order to find his missing daughter. When she starts unraveling the threads of the case she realizes how close it hits to home with the death of her father. The case itself is interesting and the added suspense of her father’s death and her secret love for the Duke keeps me coming back for more.

WOW what an amazing book. Princess Zarina, the youngest of 13 children is about to have a birthday and it is the year of her Royal Advancement. She wants an amazingly beautiful dress unlike any other that has been seen in the kingdom. Her aunt takes her to a dressmaker outside of the castle that she has heard about and Princess Zarina instructs the woman as to what it is she wants. There are conditions of course, but Princess Zarina agrees to the conditions.

This book is full of adventures, loss, war, being chased and rescues. You can watch Princess Zarina learn and grow and mature through out this book. It is a very good book about responsibility and growing up and taking responsibility for your actions.

I really enjoyed this story and will be buying it in print to share with my daughter.

What a fun, historical, fantasy read! The setting is a kingdom with castles, kings, queens, carriages and horses, knights and more. The main character is Princess Zarina, the 13th born child of the King and Queen. She is known to be selfish but beautiful, and shows her selfishness when she decides she needs the best dress in the kingdom for her party. Zarina and her aunt go to see a dressmaker in the middle of the forest. The dressmaker is strange and Zarina feels that she put thoughts in her mind about the choice of cloth. She makes the deal with the dressmaker and it turns out to be a black magical dress. Zarina is left on her own and has to make it back to the castle, a day’s carriage ride away. She meets some of the locals who do not like the King or the Overseer who take and take from them, but don’t take care of the locals. She finds out the King and Queen have been killed and sets out to figure out a way to save her kingdom. Princess Zarina and all the other characters are so likable and I loved the magical dress! It was a fund read and I am already looking to see what else the author has written.

This is the first book I have read from this author and it was very good. I like a good fairytale but this story exceeded all my expectations. When I got this book I started to read it right away. I fell in love with the princess right away. I could not put this book down until the end. I’m going to have my teen daughter read it next.

Princess Zarina is so excited about her Royal advancement ceremony that she is wanting the perfect dress. She finds a seamstress that tells her she is going to make the perfect dress for her. When the princess picks up the dress it is not all when she was expecting. Zarina was upset that her dress was black and she was very upset. She is shocked when the dress doesn’t come off of her. When she gets back home she discovers that the king and queen are killed. Zarina now has to fight the invaders or her kingdom will be destroyed. Will Zarina save her kingdom or is she not ready?

Elinor and Tristan have an amazing relationship and it was great to see how it was progressing and growing in the book. The mystery behind who and what Twyla is up too was very interesting to read and find out if she was a friend or foe. This book was very good and highly suggest to start at the beginning.

I love this series, and I can’t wait till the next book comes out! The author brings us back to the ghost talking world Spirit Guide. A world I have fallen in love with. A world where ghosts are very present. A world where one woman uses her Ghost Talker talents to help solve mysteries and murder. Oh yeah with some attraction and tension thrown in.
Madame Chalamet is back but with an apprentice in tow. One of the regulations of The Morpheus Society, is they have to take on at least one apprentice every 10 years to remain a member. Unfortunately it’s that very society that she will be going head to head with in this book. Parnell Lafayette is no friend and is now the head of the society, so any way he can ruffle Elinor’s feathers he will do just that. Hence her apprentice Twyla. What she didn’t expect was Archambeau to show back up in her life unexpectedly with a case he needed assistance on. Especially since he kind of “ghosted” her. Elinor and Tristan have tension between them that comes to head about midway through, however her feelings towards his action don’t stop her from trying to locate the missing Lady Losendahl.
I love Elinor and Tristan, but the question is do they finally do something about the tension between them? The dynamic they have working together is great but there’s so much more to explore between them.
How is The Morpheus Society involved?
What are these ghost parties people are talking about?
Trust me when I say it won’t be exactly what you think. Which is why you need to read book 3! If you haven’t read any of them, you can still jump in each book on their own. However there are elements that cross over from book to book, which is why I advise starting with book 1.
So what are you waiting for?
Me, I’m waiting for book 4, read and join me on that wagon.

A retelling of Cinderella that is intriguing with a surprise ending! The author, K.L. Small, does a fantastic job of deviating from the original fairy tale to captivate your interest, while still keeping enough elements of the original fairy tale (magic, bravery, saving people you love) to keep it fresh.

The best part of the book, in my opinion, is the characterization of the main characters. I grew to really like the growth the Cinderella character, Princess Zarina, exhibits as the story unfolds. She is not a stagnant character by any means!

Another aspect of the book I thoroughly enjoyed are the believable twists and turns to get the story from point A to point B. Nothing seemed “forced,” and a truly magical read.

Still on the hunt for her father’s killer, Elinor Chalamet and the Duke de Archambeau, Tristan Fontaine work together to solve the mystery of who is behind the kidnapping of a noblewoman’s daughter.

I love this series. It gives me a Sherlock Holmes type mystery and vibe with a supernatural twist. The slow burn romance is also an aspect that is well written.

I love Elinor’s character. Even when someone tells her not to do something, she still does it. It is really interesting seeing her communicate with ghosts such as when she takes in the grief of the ghost she is talking to. Thinking it over, as a medium it does make sense that she would.

I read that there will be more novels released this year. I can’t wait to read them.

Princess Zarina thinks a lot about herself and does not care much for people around her. When the kingdom is attacked, she must spring to action and save herself and the kingdom. Can she make some choices for others for a change? Will the magical dress help her?
The story is delightful and as it progresses, the complex character of the main protagonist emerges. Many middle school students can relate to this character.
I really enjoyed reading this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is another fantastic addition to this series and I think it has to be my favourite so far. With each new book I have no trouble at all slipping straight back into this world and these characters. I really enjoyed this story. It was easy to engage with and I became hooked on what was happening. So much seems to go on in this book and I was completely swept along for the ride.
These characters are still ones I really enjoy reading about. Their development over the series so far has been amazing to watch and with each new book I feel like we learn something new. I really hope this series continues on for many more books and I cannot wait to read them.

The third book in the Madame Chalamet series is even better than the first two! I have a read a few books by this author now and am getting more and more impressed at the attention to detail he shows, specifically surrounding the mystery the main characters are solving in the books. I’ve really enjoyed the slow-burning romance between her and Tristan Fontaine, the other main character, during the series, and am eager to see what lies in store for them in the future. I loved learning more about her past and see her continue to try to solve her father’s murder in addition to the main plot line. Excited to read more of the series, and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Sherlock Holmes!
