My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book finds Emma and her cohorts involved in several mysteries! She finds out she has come into a significant inheritance that she, with the help of her teammates, decides to put to charitable use. As they set up the fund, there are several hurdles that they encounter. New friends are made, and new buildings are acquired for their purposes. Good news abounds for her sister and Emma finds herself in a bit of a medical emergency. The bad guys keep coming and adventures always seems to find her wherever she goes. After they set up their charitable agency, an old enemy tries to thwart their plans. Will the team be able to track him down before disaster strikes?

This is a most enjoyable series! There is always something going on mystery-wise. Emma solves one and the next one seems to find her without her even trying! I like how she always seems to be in the right place at the right time to solve everything, but it is through her observations that she figures it out. I feel like anyone could take a page out of her notebook and learn to observe others before responding!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the previous two books in this series I was looking forward to this third novel and was definitely not disappointed. It was good being back with Emma Evans as her adventures with solving crimes and mysteries continued, in this enjoyable and engaging YA novel. Set in Chicago, in 1885, Emma is contacted about the reading of a will involving a prior client, she has to determine if this inheritance is a good thing or not. On a trip to New York City, Jeremy and Emma become closer and their relationship deepens, so much so that they want to stay together on their return, but there are limited choices for a young couple in 1885.
A new case soon becomes complex involving, kidnapping, murder, drugs and hidden plots, luckily Emma has a team of both old and new friends to help her solve this. However, the case becomes personal when secrets are exposed about Jeremy and Emma’s personal life, and loved ones are put in danger. Emma also agrees to meet Tony in Paris as he needs help, but Jeremy has an ulterior motive when he convinces her to go alone. The authors descriptive narrative brings the settings and era vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the story. The exciting storyline and plot twists kept me hooked from start to finish, and I liked ‘catching up’ with old friends from the previous books. This can be read as a standalone story, but for more of an understanding of Emma’s backstory, I would recommend reading the series in order. I hope there will be a fourth book in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book three in this exciting young adult historical mystery series. As with the previous two books, I thoroughly enjoyed this one as well. Then again I am into historical books, so this was a no-brainer for me to pick up to read. And it picked up right where the previous book ended. I must admit I always love when series books do that because it is easier to keep up with. This one took place in Chicago which I am very familiar with as I have family that lives there so it was fun to read a mystery taking place there in the 1800’s. I love these characters. And the author does a wonderful job with the mystery and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed it just as much as the previous books. I can’t wait to ready book four.

Notebook Mysteries- Changes and Challenges is the third instalment in the Notebook Mysteries series by Kimberly Mullins. This story picks up a soon after the events in books two- so I would recommend reading the previous book/s before starting on this one, as I feel that knowing what happened previously will give you a better understanding and appreciation of the characters, motivations, and foundations of the story- which in turn will enhance your reading experience of this book.
Emma Evens is once again thrust into intrigue and mystery which brings a whole new set of changes and challenges. With crime and investigation, suspense, drama, danger, adventure, and a little romance- this quirky historical mystery is my favourite of the series, so far. Looking forward to seeing what Emma (and the team) get up to in ‘Unexpected Outcomes’, Book #4 in the series.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Kimberly Mullins!

The third book in this cozy mystery series sees Emma once again ensconced in murder and mayhem. You need to read the first two books as they follow on from each other. In doing so you get to know the characters in more depth and have a better understanding of where they have been and what shaped them. We meet up again with old friends and dig our way through suspense and mystery, kidnapping and drugs.
Our strong-minded sleuth is not one to step away from a challenge. So, stepping up to handle a charity is just what she will do and do well to help those in need. Add in a trip to Paris and a romance where they want more and the adventure ramps up.

This series is amazing to say the least! I love the sleuth Emma and her adventures she goes on I love the atmosphere the books take place on as well! I love how the mystery takes time to unravel and you have to use your own sleuth skills to figure out what the “culprit is”

Something I do love about this author, is they have created a wonderful heroine you can not help but love! I love Emma and her mind. She is bright as they come I would say. What I love about Emma is she never leaves her mind far from the truth. I also love how descriptive the author is when they are writing. I feel as if I am transported to a different time. The book was nothing short of amazing. Loved it, and I was just left wanting more. I loved the book, the characters, and how things led up to the end!

Amazing book, that truly is a ride of enjoyment! Love the author as well! I love their writing skill truly. I highly recommend this book, this author and this series! A must read!

Faithful in Love (Cliff Walk Cousins Book 1) by Cecily K. Wolfe

Faithful in Love is the first book in the Cliff Walk Cousins Series. This is a Historical Romance/Christian  book that I absolutely loved reading. This is a fairly new author to me but I’ve already looked to see what other books she has. Im definitely going to check them out.  I’m a huge fan of Historical Romance/Christian Romance and this book definitely checked all the boxes. I was pulled in from the beginning and had a terrible time putting it down. I caught myself saying one more chapter several times. This is a story about Faith and Nico. Faith finds herself starting to fall for her uncle’s apprentice who just happens to be Nico. He’s extremely happy with his apprenticeship for his uncle. but what will happen when  their friendship  turns more romantic? I loved these two especially Faith. I found myself a little emotional at times . I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author. I’m very excited about this series.

This is a fun and easy reading historical mystery story with some great characters involved. I didn’t find the story to be that complex which meant it was great just for getting lost in for a few hours. It is a pretty quick story to read, nothing too heavy but still an interesting book.
I thought the main character and her father were a good combination. The dynamic worked. This is a good book that is worth a read.

I have followed this series from the start and this is a great continuation of the story. I have loved the originality of the series and this book is no different.
You are transported straight back into the characters and their lives. It is so easy to connect with them again as they embark on yet another adventure. The story is fast paced and exciting and has a lot going on. It took no time to fly through it as I was enjoying the story so much. This is a great book and great series and I cannot wait to see what comes next.

Jenny has her hands full covering for her father, trying to keep his business running; she also types for a local attorney, all to keep them afloat. While covering for her father she visits her dying Uncle in jail. As she follows through on his request, she finds herself a case. Will she be able to solve it?
This is the first book by C.H. Sessums that I have read. The Killer Jack Mystery is the second book in the JD Pierson Case Files series. As I, for the most part, did not feel lost or confuse would say this story can be read as a stand alone. This not my go to genre, but I can say, I was not disappointed and will be going back to read the first and then the rest of this series. The story was well written and the characters were engaging. I recommend giving this book a read.

This is the 3rd book in the Notebook Series. I would really recommend reading the first 2 books in the series first as they themes and characters all follow through the series. This book continues from the end of the last book.
What I love about these books is how well the stories are written. You completely feel transported to the era the books are written in. The stories are a great read, they are full of mystery and murder and our main character Emma has loads more challenges to overcome, from learning to run a charity made with a donation from a wealth client to solving a mystery involving drugs, kidnapping and more.
Adding to this mystery is another case brought to her by an old flame but are things as they seem?
It is a thrilling read that will need the reader hooked and guessing from beginning to end. You feel captivated and transported in time which adds to the charm of this series.

This is not my first book by this author but I enjoyed this one just as much as the first one. This is a well written story that takes place in Chicago in 1885. Emma finds herself in a new adventure that is full of action, murder, hidden plots, and so much more. I enjoyed seeing characters from the previous books. They are strong, creative, relatable characters that made the story entertaining to read. This is a fast paced, engaging story that pulled me in from the beginning. I enjoyed the growth and chemistry of the characters and how they support each other. The author’s use of details brought the story to life and had me coming back for more. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous books as well. They are just as enjoyable and Emma will take you on an adventure you won’t soon forget. I really enjoyed what Emma brought to the story and I highly recommend this book.

I have very much enjoyed getting to know Emma Evans and her family/team. This author has hit the nail on the head again when it comes to telling a story as it pertains to different characters. The third person narrative once again steals the show, and I thoroughly enjoy the way that she focuses each chapter on a certain event/character, I find it really allows for the reader to follow the story line without feeling bombarded with a ton of information all at once. The love that has developed deeper between Emma and Jeremy is adorable, and is long-term relationship goals for me, I’ll be rooting for them all the way!

Life is full of changes, and challenges, and the ones that come up throughout this specific adventure are relatable, especially for me, and I feel like the emotions tied into the different cases that are being taken on by this team are described to a T. One of my favorite things about this series so far is that it’s never just one thing going on, and the pace is, in my opinion, perfect. Without even realizing it, you’re drawn in to help solve the cases, and try to beat them to the punch, and I absolutely love disappearing for a while into these adventures. Keep them coming, please, highly recommend reading this series!

Oh my goodness, Emma is at it again! I love the stories of Emma and her friends. This story had me just as excited and intrigued as the first one. Emma need to figure things out with Jeremy while solving crime with Tony and her friends. Solve she does. This story is so engaging. These truly are my favorite type of stories. If you can engage me from the start and keep my attention all the way through, you have a fan for life. The characters have personality and are easy to relate to. The details are such that its easy to delve into the story and feel like you are there. Kind of like a female Sherlock Holmes story. Love this series. You should read this if you like historical mysteries and/or strong female leads. Highly recommending.

A fun mystery murder book! I really enjoyed following along on this adventure to find out who stole the jewelry from the Barricks and who killed JD’s cousin Betty. JD or Jenny, decides to help out her Dad’s PI business by taking on a case while he is in recovery for alcoholism, at first I honestly was thinking why did she get involved, there may not have been any deaths had she stayed out of it. But when it came down to it in the end, she made me think differently, if no-one had stolen the jewelry there wouldn’t have been any deaths either! Mrs. Forsythe, she’s a piece of work and her brother George seemed a little unstable if what his sister was saying about him was correct, that he wanted the love of Mrs. Barrick not to blackmail her. In the epilogue it seems we have another juicy but devastating mystery coming and I look forward to the next book!

The Killer Jack Mystery is part of the J.D Pierson Case Files series. It is the first book I have read, but I really enjoyed it and will read the others. The book is well written, with good characters and maintained mystery throughout. It is not very long, but seemed appropriate- I didn’t feel like it ended suddenly or was rushed. The book follows Jenny, as she fills in for her father, a Private Investigator in the early to mid 1900s. She is asked to check in on her cousin, who may be caught up with some bad people. That quickly escalates to million dollar thefts, murder and a whole string of lies and mystery. I love the characters, as Jenny is a strong independent woman, in a time where it is not common. I look forward to see what will come next, after her dad returns home. Highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mystery and crime. There is a cliff hanger at the end, that I was surprised to know it was based on a true story. I can’t wait to read the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this historical cozy mystery story to be an enjoyable and entertaining read, and one which had me hooked from start to finish. It’s a fairly short novel but it’s definitely action packed with plenty of plot twists that kept me guessing. Our heroine, Jenny is trying to keep her father’s PI business running after he’s turned to alcohol. A call from the state penitentiary is the start of a new case, searching for a stolen necklace but soon Jenny finds she’s in the sights of a killer. The call is from her Uncle who is in prison for robbery, but he’s concerned about his daughter, Jenny’s cousin Betty and needs help.
Betty is wearing a pendant which Jenny is pretty sure is stolen but her cousins not talking about it. Things take a dramatic turn when Betty gets gunned down and the necklace is stolen. Suddenly Jenny is not just looking for a thief but also a murderer, she needs to discover the identity of a man named Jack before he disappears again, and maybe even kills again. I found the main character, Jenny very likeable and relatable and felt engaged with her, as though I was alongside her as she investigated. The author’s descriptive narrative made the setting come alive and the added historical details made me feel I had gone back in time. I look forward to future books in this series, featuring Jenny.

Faith, a very strong, emotional female lead. I absolutely love this book. The historical aspect of the romance and the fact that it is centered on such a strong, loving family is beyond awesome. I appreciate the fact that this romantic novel was written so sweetly and that all the characters are such strong in their faith and love of God. When vital information comes up missing, boy, I was so wrong as to who my accused was. The characters came to life in my head, and I could picture myself in the era of the book. My favorite character must be Evie though, since all she seems to care about are books, I can relate to her so well! A great read full of intrigue, mystery, faith, and romance. I cannot wait to read the other books in this series. I just love how the family sticks together to help a friend and that it is done in such an innocent and pure form of love. A must read! I just love the fact that old-fashioned courting was taking place. Who doesn’t like a good romance that is clean and pure and perfect?

I loved reading this book. The feelings between Nico and Faith was pulling on my heartstrings. Family means so much to these two it almost nips things in the bud. Being in historical 1900’s was a great look into the world that was so long ago and the mannerisms and culture. Nico’s background of not having much hit close to home. I felt for him because i know what it’s like. Having a relatable character is huge for me. It makes the story more real. The pacing in this book was well paced out, it didn’t take too long or drug it out at a slow pace. The writing was phenomenal. It felt like I was right there being a background character watching these events between Nico and Faith happen. I cant wait to read the next books in this series!
