The Sound of Murder (Musical Murder Mystery Series) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Kay Stritesky

The Sound of MurderThe Sound of Murder by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For me this was a fun and exciting read! The characters were great and the story was interesting enough that you didn’t figure it out in the beginning and then felt like you had to continue reading! Ruby sure knows how to take the lead! I will note there is possibly a book before this one but it is not super important just would have been helpful!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was definitely a cute book! My five year old really enjoyed the magic of it, even though I did have to explain pencils like this dont exist. I was however able to make a comparison for her that while these pencils are magic our intuition is very much a real thing!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow! At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about this book but from the beginning I was hooked. It is well written, suspenseful and even when you think you know what is about to happen there is a turn! While I wish there wasn’t so much “pandemic” talk its truly a time period we all lived through which made it so very relevant! The good outweighed the bad drastically and it showed by how well the author could keep the readers attention!

C.A King always does a good job of bring in the readers and keeping their attention.

Unchecked: A Steamy Love Triangle Love Romance by Carina Alyce – Review by Kay Stritesky

Unchecked (MetroGen Downtown Kiss and Tell, #1)Unchecked by Carina Alyce
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

*May contain spoilers* Let me start by saying that up until the ending this book had five stars! I’m still screaming at my book days later. This romance novel has great characters, a great storyline and a relatable feel to it! This book was able to hold me attention, left me wanting more off each page and had me dying to know how it ends, OF COURSE we want to know who is the father?!? And then the authors rips a little piece of our soul out by not giving us an ending. We get to vote how it ends and I NEED ANSWERS! I truly did love reading this book and look forward to reading more by this author!

This was a fun and easy read! You could feel the characters coming to life off the pages and you felt yourself interacting with them.
