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.

3.5 Stars

 

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!

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.

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!

Book 3 sees Emma evolve so much more. There are new mysteries to solve as we catch up with many characters from previous books and meet new some ones. I absolutely adore Emma and her crew, especially Jeremy. The story is delivered flawlessly and historic era bleeds through the writing. I am thoroughly enjoying this series and totally recommend.

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Somehow I started on book two so I will need to go back and read the first to learn more about Emma and some of the events that are talked about throughout book two! Even not reading the first book, I have been able to easily follow the story and the characters. Emma is a teen detective who graduated from business school and has been working with local companies to find women jobs. She also solves crimes that arise and that are brought to her. I love Emma and the group of friends and family that she is surrounded by. I liked the idea of growing up in a boarding house and like getting to know the characters that were part of the day to day. The crimes don’t seem ridiculous for a teen and even though some are dangerous, Emma always walks though the steps so she knows how to get to the bottom of them. The story is set in the 1800’s, but it doesn’t feel out of date even though Emma rides her bike everywhere which is also a fun element. What I loved most about the book was how the author portrayed this young girl as so strong, independent, and capable of anything she put her mind to – a great way to show a strong young woman protagonist!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It is the year 1883 and Emma Evans is getting ready for work while she reminisces about some of the cases she has worked in the last year as an amateur sleuth, as she checks that she has everything and looking at her split skirt, specifically designed so she can cycle around Chicago with ease, she thinks about the events which started her on this path in life. From the happy occasion of her sister getting married to the opposite of when she was attacked, she looks through the old notebooks she has written her case notes in and how they changed her life forever, as well as those around her.

This included finding out that her Mama was involved in a couple of the cases she was looking at, thefts and smuggling operations mainly and that someone she worked with was also the head of a criminal organisation with fingers in many pies in the city and she stopped some of them in their tracks, this made her a target, but they weren’t the only ones, she also witnessed an attack, which when she tried to stop it, was when she was attacked herself, but later on the culprit returned to try again, however, only succeeded up getting caught and sent down for their crimes. This did lead to Emma helping a local charitable organisation and making a friend for life in the process, while helping them to remain anonymous at the same time.

In the present day, Emma has a job agency after finishing her degree in Business School and is helping other to gain the same qualifications and jobs, as well as being a courier and typist during the day, as well as investigating multiple cases and bringing more specialists onto the team. These include a photographer and a master of disguise whom all extend her original team and help to bring her the professional recognition she deserves, however, her personal life is not as easy, she is struggling to define her feelings for two men she is close to and trying to work out if her past and present are going to collide and rip the team apart at the seams. This is a cozy mystery with clean romantic elements within where tangled threads are smoothed out, secrets revealed and crimes solved with a dash of humour and self discovery thrown in for good measure which will keep you hooked throughout.

Emma is such an intriguing individual with so much going on for her. It all started with her notebook and crimes. The Characters overall in this book are all exciting with their different personalities and how they all relate and help Emma achieve what it was hard for women to do in those times. As a woman, I praise the work that was done in this book and wish I was in that timeline helping where I could! It’s the stories you wish you were apart of that make the best readings. Her love, mysteries, drama, and friendships all link in with the story told. Kimberly, such a great series. Thank you for this creation! 🙂

I did not read book 1 and I feel like it should be read first to get a better understanding of the story. With that being said, I really enjoyed this book! I liked the main character Emma and how she pushed for opportunities for women who wouldn’t have normally had them in the 1800s due to it being a mainly male society in terms of working and going to school. I enjoyed the mysteries within the book and if you like historical fiction mixed with mystery then I highly recommend this book and series! I am looking forward to my next read by Kimberly Mullins!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this volume of the Notebook Mysteries we follow Emma once again, who is an 18-year-old graduate of business school and an entrepreneur. Emma is persistent, self-sufficient, vivacious, and wants to make lasting change. The case she takes on is much more perilous than the other ones as she is battered and warned away.

Emma Evans is a real Sherlock Holmes, using wit, keen observation skills and a vast amount of cleverness to solve injustices. She carries around a notebook with her at all times in order to set down all her perceptions of the things she takes the time to notice. This helps her do what she desires the most … solving crimes.

I thought the recipes were a wonderful addition and I feel I will truly enjoy making some of them. However I will say this you need to read the first book 1st, because a more detailed character description and a deeper background will give you a better understanding of Emma and everything else going on.

The characters were intricately flesh out and very detailed. I particularly like the historical details during that era that show Emma’s endorsement for women’s rights. Including stepping out of the box society forced her into and fighting for equal pay and equal opportunity for women in the work place. This novel is also socially conscious in that Emma helps women who are abused a fair bit.

If you are looking for a delightful, fun, read with many dramatic escapades all packed into a novel, with historical details look no further. This tale has a very Nancy Drew essence and will entertain the older and younger generations.

Notebook Mysteries was added to my collection of Historical Mysteries! The detail in this book really added to the suspense of the cases, not to mention the way all the cases really feed into the plot of the book as well and don’t even get me started on the recipes! Oh, my goodness I am so excited about those. It really gave me a cool way to connect with the book in a way I had not imagined! Emma is easily one of my favorite characters, I love how she handles her cases, her personality, the way she is not afraid to challenge others when it comes to a “woman’s place”. This was the first one I have gotten the chance to read but I will be checking out her book before this one to see more on these characters I have already come to love.

It can be a bit tough to stay in the mode with the “Dear reader” and “narrator” asides at times, but this book is fast moving, drew a good visual of 1800’s era, while also having strong female leads with solid male support in their endeavors, which is a nice touch.

Decisions and Possibilities is the second novel in the Notebook Mystery series by Kimberly Mullins.

In Chicago 1883, teen Emma Evans is more involved in case and her business than ever before. She gains recognition and a new member in her team.

But the case she is working on is far more dangerous than previous especially when she assaulted and threatened.

And her personal life is just as complex as her professional with her trying to define her feelings for two men in her life.

This was a very fun read. It reminded me alittle of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series.

I have not read the first novel in this series and I look forward to reading Emma’s journey but I really hope there will be a third novel for me to read.

Overall, I enjoyed this story. Emma was an interesting character that fought for women’s rights in a time when we didn’t have them. There were really strange interruptions by the “narrator” that really didn’t flow into the story and really felt pointless. I did enjoy Emma’s adventures and many of the characters, but the story just jumped around a little too much.

Notebook Mysteries
I loved that the author drew me in with her cover of the book and the involvement of women in history and breaking the barrier of norms for that time era because women did try and do that and they had to sneak around as well. I loved that the author addressed the readers specifically as though to draw us in more to the mystery and book and get us involved in the case and our minds working rather than just an outside perspective of just reading and watching a scene unfold. I honestly wish I would have read the first book because it would have been bomb. I will be reading it now. It isn’t as though you need it though to read this book. Well written. This book can be read as a standalone.

I truly enjoyed reading this Historical Young adult story that once I started reading there no putting it down. This is the second book in the Decisions and Possibilities series by Kimberly Mullins. I’m a huge fan of all historical genres and this definitely was worth the read. Emma recently graduated from business school and is ready to focus on doing some investigating. Things get interesting and I found myself on the edge of my seat trying to figure it all out. What will happen when there’s a new person added to the team? Sometimes things and people aren’t always as they seem. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Amanda DelFemine

Decisions and Possibilities (Notebook Mysteries #2)Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mullins really did a great job in her character development in this book. I really enjoyed Emma and her strong character and she was very relatable. I felt you needed it with some of the mysteries that went on here with the womens shelter. In the beginning she showed how you can be anything and do anything if you just put your mind to it. Even in a mans world you can stand out and honestly more young girls need to read books that can build you up. I liked that there was a few cases in one story.
