Ehli-nikkalu, eldest daughter of the Hittite emperor, is married to a mere vassal of her father. But despite her status, her foreignness and inability to produce an heir drive a wedge between her and the court that surrounds her. When her secretary is mysteriously murdered while carrying the emperor a message that would indict the loyalty of his vassal, Ehli-nikkalu adopts the dead man’s orphaned children out of a guilty sense of responsibility.

A young cousin she has never met becomes a pretender to the throne and mobilizes roving armies of the poor and dispossessed, which causes the priority of her loyalties to become even more suspect. However, Ehli-nikkalu discovers a terrible secret that could destabilize the present regime if the pretender ever learns of it.

With the help of a kindly scribe, her brave young ward, and an embittered former soldier trapped in debt and self-doubt, Ehli-nikkalu sets out to save the kingdom and prove herself to her father. And along the way, she learns something about love.

Over her shoulder, Vanessa viewed The Academy for Young Ladies fading in the distance behind the carriage. Turning forward with a sigh of relief, she relaxed. She could hardly wait to catch her first glimpse of Hill House again.

Upon her arrival, she never expected to have her guardian residing in her home. If she considered him at all, she imagined him in the background, guarding her interest from afar as he had in the past. Nor did she expect to find her aunt by marriage apparently in charge of the household. Adding to her dismay, her aunt’s relatives were dwelling in Hill House as well.

Most disturbing of all, Vanessa found signs of a ghost dwelling in the house too, filling her with unease and dread.

Stories are the very fabric of life. I want to transport readers to exotic settings, where they can find romance and happy endings and hopefully bring some back to their daily lives. Portugal brims with beauty and passion, and I research every tiny detail of my novels, hoping to make the reader treasure my grandparents’ country as I do. I have a loving husband who still is my hero and two amazing kids. When it’s cold and rainy, I run inside to read and watch movies under blankets, sipping wine. You can find me on the beach during summer, surfing with my family.

Emma’s intuition is tingling again as an invitation to a party feels like a trap. As she navigates a new responsibility will it work as a distraction as the trap is sprung?
Emma is a no-nonsense super smart lady who is really good at connecting the dots. This is another great installment of the Notebook Mysteries.

4.5 Stars

 

Notebook Mysteries ~ A Party To Remember is a Notebook Mysteries series novella by Kimberly Mullins. Another fun holiday historical cozy mystery, set against a Christmas backdrop- it has plenty of intriguing developments, danger, drama, friendship, investigation, suspense, humour, and more.
This could be read as a standalone if you wanted, without feeling like you are missing anything by not having read the rest of the series… But having said that, I highly recommend reading the previous books too, as knowing what happened in those books will definitely give you a better appreciation of the characters and this ‘adventure’.
With Christmas fast approaching, and a Christmas Eve family wedding to prepare for, Emma is caught by surprise when an unexpected invitation arrives. It immediately triggers her suspicions- and she can’t help but do a little ‘investigating’. And as we all know from previous books, Emma seems to attract mysteries and her inquisitive nature gets her into all sorts of unusual situations. But is that the case here? Is there something sinister behind the invitation? Or is Emma reading more into it all than necessary? This story really is worth the read to find out.
A wonderful addition to the series.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Kimberly Mullins!

In this short book the team is back together again and planning a wedding. Everything is coming along nicely until a party invitation arrives. Normally it probably would not be an issue, but the invite is for a party in Chicage instead of New York. Who is inviting them and why? Of course Emma is suspicious and becomes even more so as she finds out who some of the guests are. Will it truly be a party to remember? And will it be for good or bad reasons? All the books in this series have been great and the novellas just give us a bit more to love. This can be read as a stand alone, but because this is a great series you should start from the beginning. The possibilities are endless for cases and the author hasn’t come to a stopping point yet. I can’t wait to see what Emma and company get up to in the next book.

Kimberly Mullins is known for her intrepid character Emma in her Notebook Mysteries series. In this the seventh book she brings us another tangled web for our super sleuth in the Notebook Mysteries ~ A Party to Remember.
The series can be read as standalones but make sure to read them all in order as you get to learn about Emma and the gang and their madness and mayhem adventures.
This historical romance mystery is set around Christmas time, a wedding and a party to remember. Kimberly’s vivid narrative makes it so easy to imagine the splendour, the refinement and the lavishness of these events.
It is easy to be drawn into Kimberley’s stories with the intrigue and mystery, suspense and drama that she writes so well. But nothing is as it seems and there are twists and turns to keep you on your toes.
There is something for every sleuth lover in this series to keep the pages turning with danger to murder to kidnappings to threats and crime and much more.
If historical cozy mystery stories are your thing, then jump on Kimberly’s Notebook Mysteries. You won’t be disappointed.
I can’t wait to see what Kimberly gives us next.

This book is proof good things come in small packages. The beginning felt choppy and didn’t feel like the normal writing style for this series but it quickly fell into the groove we know and love. This Christmas novella was the perfect mix of mystery and family. Definitely don’t pass on this fast and fun read.

Notebook Mysteries: A Party to Remember is a novella in the Notebook Mysteries series. The story is best enjoyed after reading at least some of the other books in the series. The story is a fast read kicking off the Christmas holidays for me. Emma is intrigued when she receives a party invite to take place in Chicago instead of New York. Why Chicago, and who is on the guest list?
After reading the rest of the series, I was excited to see a new adventure for Emma and her friends. Her instincts are acting on overdrive after the party invite arrives. There is also a Christmas wedding in the works. Everyone is busy because of the wedding and the holidays. I like that so many of the recurring characters make an appearance in this book. The story is fun, festive, and left me looking forward to more stories about Emma and company. If you enjoy intrigue, historical fiction, and great characters, give this series a try. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

This short novella is part of the Notebook Mysteries series and makes for a quick and easy read. This can be read as a standalone, but to truly appreciate the background and characters I recommend reading the rest of the series.
Emma and Jeremy are once again set on solving a mystery, this time at Christmas after being invited to a party. Emma begins investigating almost immediately, sensing something is off which is just one of many reasons I love her.
As per usual when reading this series, the author’s easy flowing writing style heightened my enjoyment by painting vivid imagery of both characters and scenery.
As always I eagerly await more from the series!

My second Notebook mystery, I chose this for the cover- not only does it show a stunning Victoria era dress, it is very festive. Normally I don’t read a ton of Christmas novellas, but this one was intriguing, especially because it centered around Emma, a character I very much enjoyed in A Parisian Intrigue.

The entire story line revolves around the 5 W’s of the party- the who was pretty easily figured out, but the rest took until the end of the novella to uncover. I enjoyed how this was kept down to a novella- I think the idea, while great in the less than 150 pages, would have suffered in a longer text.

I enjoyed finding out more about Hen, and can’t wait to figure out if her story line continues. Like A Parisian Intrigue, the pacing and world building of this novella made it a one night, but rememberable read. The only thing I wish was stronger was the conclusion, which I thought was rushed.

I love this series and this little novella didn’t disappoint!

It’s Christmas time…a time of cheer, happiness, and overall well wishes for everyone. Parties are in full swing and Emma and Jeremy receive an invitation to a local party. Others in their company do as well. However, the invitation is not sitting right with Emma. Something just seems off about it.

As life goes on, there are some insiders scoping out the party location. Certain aspects of the location change over a few days and Emma receives word of it. She’s prepared for the party and whatever will happen therein.

These stories are just great little cozy mysteries with historical aspects thrown in. Some of the books in the series are full-length, while others are more novella style such as this one. There is always at least one adventure taking place, and usually more are starting in the background. Emma is a strong character to endure all the things that are thrown at her, often times last minute.

This is yet another great book to add to a series of great books. It was lovely to reconnect with the characters that we have become so familiar with over time. As usual, it took no time at all to become invested in their story and what was going on. It always feels like you have never been away from these characters each time you pick up a new book.
The story was well written and enjoyable from start to finish. It is rare a series has the longevity like this one and yet the author shows no signs of slowing down. Each book is as good as the others and this one is no exception. This is a great read that I thoroughly enjoyed.

A Party to Remember is part of the Notebook Mysteries series. It is a historical crime novella that takes place in 1889 in Chicago and centers around the characters of Emma and her friends. Emma has a nose for solving mysteries and seems to find them everywhere she goes. When Emma and Jeremy are invited to attend a Christmas party, she cannot shake the feeling that something seems to be off about the party. As the day of the party draws nearer her suspicions increase especially when she learns of the list of guests that have been invited to the same party. The guest list seems odd and those invited do not seem to be those that Gregory and Geoff, the party hosts, would normally socialize with so why have they been invited? Emma begins to conduct a small investigation with the help of her friends, Jake and Ethyl, who go undercover as hired help for the party. As they report back to Emma about the going-ons at Gregory and Geoff’s home, her suspicions only increase, and she knows that something is wrong. Who will win the deadly game of cat-and-mouse that Gregory and Geoff have planned?

Another brilliantly written novella by this talented author. I love how she uses historical events that occurred between 1880-1890 in Chicago as inspiration for her stories. The storyline was intriguing, and the characters are engaging. I have grown to love this close-knit group of friends that have become family to one another. Emma is a smart, feisty, stubborn, young lady with a knack for solving mysteries. She can sense something is wrong and pick up subtle clues that many might otherwise overlook. Christmas is a busy enough time of year but for Emma this year she certainly has her hands full. An invitation to a Christmas party that has her suspicions raised. Helping her friends Savannah and Ethan plan their wedding. Added to that, Emma and Jeremy have just become guardians to young Henrietta who I found was a wonderful addition to the story. I look forward to reading future stories with Henrietta to see if she becomes involved in helping Emma solve mysteries. Such a brilliant-minded young lady will surely aid in solving future mysteries that Emma stumbles onto. I highly recommend this book.

This is a festive novella that is part of The Notebook Mystries series. It can be read as a standalone however I do recommend reading the series so you get a complete idea of the characters and how they are connected. This is a great historical mystery which yet again sees Emma and Jeremy trying to solve a crime and stop the bad guys.
There is a lot happening in this story. From the marriage of Savannah and Ethan and Emma and Jeremy becoming guardians to little Henrietta everyone is distracted.
When they all get invited to a party the day before Savannah and Ethans wedding everyone decides to go. However Emma can’t help but feel like something is off with this party. That it isn’t the fun evening they want and that something sinister is about to happy.
Is Emma’s instincts and gut feeling right? Or is she just being paranoid and looking for danger where none exists.
I have grown to love Emma’s characters through all of these books and I love that fact that it’s a historical story however Emma is respected and listened to when she speaks about her gut feelings. She is a strong and determined character who is like a dog with a bone when it comes to getting to the bottom of a mystery.

A Party To Remember is a festive novella in the Notebook Mysteries series. I’d recommend it to fans of the series looking for an enjoyable holiday read. If you haven’t read this series yet you should start with Emma to get to know the characters and their circumstances! It’s a fun historical mystery series with a great cast of recurring characters working together.

A suspicious party invitation has Emma and her friends curious and excited. On the one hand, it’s a chance to wear the fabulous dresses they bought on a recent adventure in Paris! But the strange choices in who has been invited, and the private or secretive nature of the hosts means they have a feeling something isn’t quite right.

There’s plenty going on in this book as characters have lots to prepare for – a wedding, the party, performances. Add in a young girl that Emma and Jeremy have suddenly ended up responsible for, everyone’s got a lot on their plate!

This book gets five stars from me. A great addition to the series!

Great short add on to the Notebook Mysteries series. Finally Savannah and Ethan’s wedding has arrived, but not without some mysterious goings on. It was nice to see Emma and Jeremy being parental, I can’t wait for them to finally get married, and that John Harden and Emma kind of buried the hatchet. She is of course still wary of him but he was just as shocked as she was at the party. Gregory is a little mad and it was time he was stopped.

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. Her books are full of mystery and characters that bring life to the story. This book is no different. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series as well. They will help your enhancement of the characters and series. This is a shorter Christmas mystery that you don’t want to miss. A story about Emma and an invitation to a party that she is confused about why the invite was sent. Emma is my favorite of the characters. I enjoy her determination and what she adds to the story. This is a fast paced story that I read in one sitting. It is hard to put down and kept me engaged to the end. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Wow, good read. This book is so informative and scary. I really liked learning the history of the atomic bomb and nuclear weapons, some of which most already know of, dating back to Madam Curie. Hiroshima and Nagasaki still weigh on me and I can’t comprehend all of the death. I really like the glimpse into having bomb dropped in New York, how far it’s reach would be and what would occur afterwards. It was nice to see the breakdown of what to do in the event of a nuclear fall out as well. The whole book was very well researched and thought out, and a very intriguing read.

Emma and gang are preparing for the holidays, as well as a wedding for her co-worker and friend. In the midst of all the preparations, an invitation arrives for a party thrown by an acquaintance. Normally, Emma loves a good party, but this invitation falls under suspicion when she finds out who the rest of the guests are. Is Emma’s intuition, correct? Will this be a party to remember?

This is such a great addition to the Notebook Mysteries series. This novella was fast paced and full of moving parts in the plot. Past characters resurface and Emma is thrown into the middle of trying to figure out the line between trust and suspicion. And on top of that, she and Jeremy are now guardians of a small girl. I really think we are going to see Emma grow more in her roles as the series continues. Looking forward to the next installment!

This has to be one of my favorites in the series yet. Some old favorites made appearances with some new ones. I loved reading how Emma and Jeremy dealt with taking on Henrietta and how the whole family dealt with it. The whole Christmas party, that was a total mystery that had me guessing. I love Emma’s events and what comes up. Such a wonderful series. All of the characters and the writing make for such a great cozy series. This Christmas novella is my favorite in the series so far just because of the cases and issues that came up. The way they were dealt with is easy to relate to. The whole family is so easy to love and they all take care of each other. Just one question, will Emma and Jeremy ever marry?

After reading this book, I now understand more about nuclear weapons, the effects of nuclear weapons, and the political aspect of nuclear weapons than I did before. I love how the author explains to us readers who don’t know all the scientific terms into simpler terms that we can understand it. There are a lot of facts about the topic that I did not know. I like how the author incorporates all aspects of the nuclear weapons. All in all, it’s a very good read.

The Reluctant Suitor was a great read. The book was a fast paced book. It was action packed. It was a good romance story. This is a series, however you could read it alone and be able to follow the story. I do feel like if you start from book one that you would understand the characters more. The world building and characters was well thought out.

This is more than just a history lesson on the development of Nuclear weapons- it gives us an insight into the science behind the development, the types of nuclear weapons, the various delivery systems, the dangers, some of the near misses that have only just avoided complete annihilation, politics, and more.
I found this to be quite informative and insightful. We all know the destruction that nuclear weapons can cause- but this really opened my eyes to something I probably should have thought more about, before reading this book. It certainly made think- especially in this day and age. Quite sobering really.
Well worth the read…

Thank you, Paul McCarthy!
