My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in this series which is just as great as the first one and I look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I highly suggest reading the previous book in this series as well to help your enhancement of the characters and this author. Gumshoe is back in another great story with another mystery to solve. She is such a great character and I enjoy what she adds to the story. In this installment she finds herself trying to save a fifteen year old’s birthday party before it is ruined. A story that pulls you into the dark world of corruption. It has suspense and twists and turns you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed how I was pulled into the story from the start by the author’s use of details. There is great growth of the story throughout which makes it easy to read. This is an entertaining story that is fast paced and engaging. I look forward to seeing what happens with Gumshoe next. I highly recommend this book.

4.5 Stars

 

Gumshoe Goes to A Quinceanera is the second book in the Gumshoe Mysteries series by Laura Hawks. Having read and enjoyed several of Ms. Hawks’ books previously, there was no question that I would be passing this by when it released, as I knew it would be a fun read.
It is a YA cozy mystery, with paranormal elements, humour, banter, action, adventure, whimsy, secrets, corruption, friendship, and intrigue. The story was well woven, suspenseful, and entertaining- and even though it was a little predictable in parts and is targeted towards younger readers- I still really enjoyed it.
The characters are cleverly crafted into fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. The story is original, with a great pace and a smooth flow, making for an easy read.
As I have said before, Ms. Hawks always manages to intrigue me with her clever storylines, and this story was no different. I loved meeting Mia in the first book, and especially Gumshoe- who really steals the show, every time. So I was looking forward to catching up with them again and enjoyed following them along on this second adventure. Now I am forward to seeing what they get up to next.
Well worth the read!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Laura Hawks!

This is the really cute story of Mia and her familiar, Gumshoe, and they are trying to find a murderer before Mia’s friend has her Quinceanera ruined. This story is very entertaining and Gumshoe had my giggling the whole way through. This would be a cute read-aloud for families as well as a good chapter book for readers venturing into reading on their own. It’s filled with mystery and humor and a quick read.

Another winner with this adventure for Mia & Gumshoe. Mia is trying to fulfill her promise to help Gumshoe find out what happened to his family. Along the way, another adventure involving a party. I just cannot put these books down. The last one (Gumshoe & The Mysterious Mushroom) and this one are sooo good that you want to read them in one sitting. They are entertaining. Gumshoe can only be understood by Mia. She has learned she is a witch and he is her familar. I laugh at their interactions. I have been reading this too my grandson and he has been chuckling too. He rarely laughs but he finds Gumshoe is funny. The cozies are perfect for the teen/young adult crowd. I’m an old lady and I love them too. I can’t wait for the next one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a crazy teen cozy. I loved every minute of reading it. Mia and Gumshoe, her newfound cat, learn that her life isn’t what she thought it was. She has to defend her dad against a mystery. I can’t tell you much more that that without spoiling it. I can tell you that this is a story is entertaining, humorous and makes you enjoy finding the culprit. I loved everything about it. The story and flow is so perfect. Mia and her parents are perfect in the story. I can’t wait for the next book.
