This cozy mystery had everything I hoped it would. This is the perfect book for an afternoon relaxing with a good book. Because this definitely qualifies as a really good book. Moore does a brilliant job setting up the characters and storyline. There is a wonderful ebb and flow. And the reader is kept engaged from beginning to end. Loved every page. Hope there is more with these characters coming soon!!

Love the Way You Dance by Allison M. Boot – Review by Heather Lovelace

Love the Way You DanceLove the Way You Dance by Allison M Boot
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Boot does a beautiful job crafting this story and building off the world she created in book one. The storyline is very detailed and well written to allow readers to pick it up as a stand-alone and not be at a disadvantage. However the characters are so enjoyable, I would recommend all to pick up the first book to better understand the underlying history. Relatable and heroic, readers of all ages will take away much from the life lessons in these pages. Beautiful.

Audrey and Silas – yes please! Regent does such a fantastic job of weaving a story that immediately pulls you in and connect the characters, whether you want to or not. I was immediately invested in this storyline, guessing what may have happened, what the plot twist might be. And whether or not I guessed correctly I still couldn’t wait to read the next page. Loved every word and hope there is more coming in this series!!

How (Stalker Series, 3)How by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m never quite sure how Mitcham does it. But yet again she’s crafted a spellbinding story that held me captive from beginning to end. I love Libby’s character! And I truly love how characters overlapped between books and yet each storyline’s integrity remained intact whether you had read the series in total or not. For best enjoyment, and quite honestly how you wouldn’t read the other books I’m not quite sure they are so well written, I do recommend reading this in series order. But regardless prepare yourself for quite the ride. Mitcham is in a class all her own when it comes to weaving a tale full of crime, passion, suspense, and romance. Five stars – all the way!
