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.
In this book Logan has accepted the proposal of her long-term boyfriend, Ben. On top of that great news she has also become YouTube famous when one of her students puts her music on the video platform for the world to hear. It has amassed millions of views which in turn has started to generate her money. Afraid that it will destabilize the monetary dynamic she and Ben have, she decides a trip to Oregon will help clear her head. While in Oregon at The New School she is roped into playing her violin in the staff talent show. When everyone has done their act and are getting congratulated all around she takes her friends dog out for a bathroom break and discovers a body. Who hated this woman enough to want her dead? When several of her friends and co-workers at the school become prime suspects she dons her detective hat to clear their names. Is Logan going to be a help or a hindrance?
Another great book in the Logan McKenna series. From the very first book she has quickly become one of my favorite characters to follow. I don’t know how many books the author plans on writing for this series, but I will be sad to see it end!

When silence screams (The Arthur Nakai Mysteries Book 3) was my first book by Mark Edward Langley and I plan to go back and read the first two. It took about 18-20% of the story to really get into, but it was worth sticking with it. Private Investigator Arthur Nakai sets out to find a missing girl named April, but what he uncovers is so much more than he expected. He is brought into an underground world of terror. The authors writing style for the most part flows very well. A couple of things that hurt with the flow were his odd use of using the first and last name of some characters some times and other times not ie. He often says Glenda James or April Manygoats and it became slightly repetitive. I also noticed he did this mainly with just the female character.
One of the things that I enjoyed most were the small history lessons the author gave involving Native American history. He did a brilliant job of incorporating them into the story in a smooth way that enhanced the story instead of taking away from the story. I found myself very enthralled with each aspect. This story does have some graphic scenes involving being held captive so could be a trigger for some. Overall, this is a story I enjoyed and an author I will add to my must read list. If you like suspense/mystery books with a strong male lead who at the root is a good guy you will love this book.

Jayne O’Shea is back in Whispering Pines after 16 long years. She was deemed the one in her family to pack up her grandparents home after her grandmother passes. She thinks it will be a quick trip lasting no more than a few days, but that l goes out the window when she discovers that the home has been vandalized. She is also in for a treat and will need to put her detective hat on to do some investigating when her dog finds a corpse on the family property. Who was this girl and who would want to harm her? The local Sherriff doesn’t want her snooping around, but he doesn’t seem at all interested in finding the culprit. Is he covering for someone or in the worst case himself?
This was a captivating book and kept me hooked. The character building and development of the story was great. I can’t say that I am a huge fan of books that end on a cliffhanger, but I am invested in finding out who is behind the murder and any other mysteries Jayne may uncover.

The change in character point of views and tenses had me slightly confused as the story did not flow as well as it could have. That said the story itself is great and Author Linda Burson has a knack for creating suspense, mystery, intrigue and even romance. While I do not often enjoy books that contain affairs, I did appreciate the way the author justifies the relationship between two of the main characters. I absolutely love how she describes the parents and their different aspects of their relationships with their children. We truly need more parents like Zach, Leah and Grant and more aunts like Cammy. Really appreciate the details the author added to give you the sense of watching the story unfold.

Camille is looking to take a break from her highly stressful PI job and decides to stay with her brother and his family. He had been trying to get her to live with his family for years and she is finally ready to take him up on his offer. When a neighbor goes missing her brother and his partner take on the case. She can’t just sit by and not help can she? This was a great book that kept me on the edge of my seat. The equal parts suspense and romance balanced out this book very well and the writing style of the author was great. The characters came to life and they felt so real. I will definitely be finding more books by this author.

This is the first book I have read by this author and it was a great first book. I realized after I was a few pages in that it went to a series, but I didn’t feel like I had missed out on a lot. It does make me want to go back and read the other adventures from the first book.
In Swindler’s Revenge Karina Cardinal has her Saturday morning interrupted by the FBI. They are looking for her ex boyfriend Mike Finnegan as he supposedly took a $1.2 million bribe. She doesn’t believe he would do something like that, but the FBI believes they have the right man. Mike believes he was framed and thinks he knows who is behind it, but how can he prove he didn’t do what he is accused of? Karina believes that Mike is genuinely a good guy and jumps in feet first to help him out of this jam. How much danger is she putting herself in to help out a friend?

I had fun reading this book about a strong willed young woman. The character didn’t let herself be bullied or get discouraged when being told no. Emma was a very likeable character and a nice refreshing heroine of sorts doing things that may have certainly been punishable during the time period this book is set in. When Emma kept getting rejection after rejection when applying to business school I felt her frustration through the pages. Having been born in the 20th century with all the rights we as women have I couldn’t imagine growing up in the time this book is set. I do highly recommend this book for anyone that likes to get lost in another world for a while.

Notebook Mysteries, Decisions and Possibilities is the second installment the Notebook Mysteries series. This is a YA Historical Mystery set in the 19th century where Emma has turned 18, graduated business school and has established her own career.
I aboslutley loved this book. Not only is it filled with action and mystery but Emma is an amazing lead character. She is so different from the regular women of the 1800’s. She is fierce, intelligent, independent and strong. She loves solving mysteries, her family and friends.
This book kept me intrigued from beginning to end and I could not put it down. I also loved that at the end there are recipes from the book. I cannot wait to try some of them and for book 3 Notebook Mysteries, Changes and Challenges to be released.

This book wasn’t a typical book I thought I would find myself reading, but when I picked it up off my e-shelf and started reading, I was immediately enthralled. The details are immaculate, the plot is fantastic, it’s truly a wonderful book. The story of Little Hen, his family, and other members in their community is wonderfully written. While it wasn’t a debut novel, it was the first in a series, and I intend to finish this series as we’re pulled along the story of the Trout family and the community surrounding it.

This was an absolutely fun read. I was laughing throughout the book just imagining what was happening and how someone could get themselves involved in trouble at every turn. No matter how hard she tried Sophie could not keep her nose out of this crime and it seemed that she was proving that curiosity is not always a good thing. Sophie’s character, and all of the others as well, was so fun and easy to associate with as normal everyday person and someone that I would love to hang out with, can’t wait for the next book.

Ah, what isn’t to like about the Madeline Dawkins series? I think I have read the majority of these books and all have been page turners. Like the others before, Madeline and Mike are on the case, this time trying to find three missing people. One case involves the nephew of their former mentor. Oh how it must’ve pained Russell to ask them for help, but MDPI team had more resources than he did. What happened to his nephew and his girlfriend? Did they just go on a trip and not let anyone know or did they meet foul play? The other case involves a couple that Madeline’s other company, Current Affairs, which does catering. The wife turns up missing the morning after the catered party and Madeline finds it a bit suspicious that the following morning the wife goes missing. Is it a coincidence that she caters an event only to be called back as a PI to find the wife? There are plenty of twists and turns that I have come to expect when reading the adventures of Madeline and crew. It is easy to get lost in these pages and feel like you are part of the team.

They say not to judge a book by its cover but have you seen this cover?!? I was honestly hooked from the second I saw it and once I started reading it I could not put it down!
The story follows a college student named Molly who is home for the summer to help take care of her mom because she has dementia. If that isn’t enough on the young girl’s plate she finds a missing persons flyer of a girl named Lucy who went missing 20 years prior and happens to look just like her. From that point on the plot quickly thickens when she learns that her brother used to date Lucy before she went missing. Molly becomes so intertwined in the case that she has to ask herself if everything really is as it seems?
There were many times in the book when I thought I’d solved the mystery, but the plot twists just kept coming! The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book and I could not put it down. Jessica Aiken-Hall did a beautiful job with this story and I can’t wait to read more of her work. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to go down a rabbit hole of mystery and suspense.

Randy Fletcher and his boyfriend, Ben, are living a nice quiet life on Honeybee Lake in the small town of Murray, New Hampshire. He feels safe here and finds solace after getting out of an abusive relationship. While out enjoying the beauty of the lake Ben discovers a dead body. When the body is later identified as his ex-boyfriend Randy doesn’t want to believe it. How can that be his ex when his ex was supposed to have died a few years prior? When he is arrested for murder he doesn’t know what to do or who to call. His sister Mandy steps in and calls the last person Randy wants to see. Will he refuse the help and take his chances or will he accept the help and hopefully beat this charge? When Mandy hears the news about Randy she drops everything to prove her brothers innocence. But when her sister-in-law who can communicate with the dead points the finger at Randy who is she to believe? Will they be able to find the culprit before Randy has the book thrown at him?
This is the second book in the Shadow of a Doubt series. Just like with the first book in the series, Rebecca Remains, the main characters keep you invested. I have come to enjoy books by this author very much. Due to some of the content talked about in this book I would not recommend it to anyone under the age of 18. I am looking forward to the next installment in this series. I can’t wait to see what the author has up her sleeve.

This is my first book by Miss Brandy Nacole, and she did not disappoint. Psychological thrillers are not normally my thing but all I can say about I Will Bury You is WOW!!!! If you love psychological thrillers full of love, death, and so many surprising twists and turns that it makes your head spin then I definitely recommend I Will Bury You but I will warn you that Miss Nacole will have you guessing until the very end. This psychological thriller is beyond dark, complex, and so detailed that you’ll want to read it more than once to try and catch all the little details and clues that Miss Nacole leaves us.

Well knock me down with that ending why don’t you miss Brandy. I did not see that one coming. Brandy has an intriguing writing style…. I was scared when it started with the twists and turns that I might get lost but with the way she writes I could follow along perfectly. The only critique I have is that the first bit of the book needs a bit of editing work BUT it doesn’t take anything away from the story.

Captivating YA psychological thriller/ mystery read. I’d say reading level is more upper YA for “murder mystery” content and talk of mental health, even though MC (Main Character) actually falls into the New Adult category.
Ann returns home to Newport, Oregon, to deal with her mother’s passing from cancer. While packing up her mother’s stuff she finds items that don’t add up to what she remembers, and things that were hidden from her. Meanwhile people around her end up dead or injured. Who’s doing this? And why is it all happening upon her return home?
I really enjoyed the unveiling and the conclusion of the mystery. Some scenes/clues come about via flashbacks while others from narrator introspection. The switch from one to the other kept me reading to find out what happened next. I also liked the interaction of MC with the supporting characters, between her grief over her mother, assisting her aunt, fighting with the neighbor, and talking with the therapist we are able to flesh out who the MC really is.

I Will Bury You by Brandy Nacole is a psychological thriller that did NOT disappoint. A story that grips from the beginning, we start with Ann Winters losing her mother. While Ann is going through her mother’s belongings, she finds some things that don’t quite make sense to her. As the story unravels, Ann starts to question her mother, and even her childhood.
As Ann starts losing more loved ones, and people start pointing fingers, how will she get ahold of the situation, and what is left of her life?

I Will Bury You by Brandy Nacole is quite the little surprise. An interesting little story, it sets up as an eerie whodunit. It doesn’t take long to really figure out what’s going on with Ann, but oh that ending. That ending was quite the surprise. I was not expecting it. A good quick read.

Wow. This was gripping from the first paragraph! I was immediately drawn in by this story and the main character, the plot and writing are so faced paced and interesting all the way through. I really liked the way Nacole draws you in, keeps you guessing and then drops the absolute mic on you with this story. I really really enjoyed the writing style in this book, it was effortless to read and I felt compelled to pick up my kindle whenever I possibly could to get further into this intriguing story. I feel like the characters were expertly developed – Especially Ann and Aunt Meredith. I would recommend this book to everybody, I think it was absolutely fantastic.

I Will Bury You by Brandy Nacole was a really thrilling read! At the beginning I wasn’t sure I was going to like it that well, and it wasn’t until after the middle of the book that I really got hooked. This book was very thrilling, and exciting and entertaining. There’s so much I want to say about this book, but I don’t want to give away any spoilers. I guess I can say that I saw where the book was going in terms of storyline earlier, so it was slightly predictable, but I definitely didn’t expect the ending. That took me by surprise and was an unexpected twist. My only complaint was that I wished the story flowed better. With some factors of the book, I found it a little difficult to concentrate so that took away part of the story. But all in all this was a great read! I definitely recommend it.

A thriller to say the least! It begins with a tragedy that throws Ann Winter’s life into disarray. As the story goes on, you discover that things are not what they seem, and tragedy strikes one after another. Who can you trust? Who is responsible? The story keeps you second guessing the answers to these questions. The major plot twist was clear from the beginning, but the more detailed and nuanced story still took some unexpected turns. After about the halfway point, I could not put it down until I finished it! I would have preferred to have a bit more mystery leading to the revelation of the main plot twist and I would have liked to see more detail and twists after it was revealed. In general, a captivating and quick read, perfect for a young adult audience.

It is a sunny day, but it isn’t the right weather for a funeral, especially when you are burying a parent and comforting an aunt, but staying strong is the most important thing when you have to be strong for them, even though you are breaking down inside. As we leave the cemetery and head home, she announces that the house needs to be cleared, things organised into piles for donation, items to sell at the antique shop and things to keep and it all has to be done in less than a week before she moves into a retirement home. This is all a shock and while going through the things in the attic first, this is when the time gaps start, one minute looking at a drawing, the next a banging announcing that tea is late and her routine is broken and routine is everything for her nowadays. Later on after she is settled into her chair with an audiobook, the sorting and organising continues, however, the things that are found are both disturbing and at the same time unknown, there are drawings and pictures, that are new to the eyes and the questions they bring up are blown off when an explanation is needed.
As the packing continues the boy next door comes to visit and it is like no time has passed between the last time he was here, but the conversation is lacking but the passion is still there until he says something unusual and is asked to leave when tempers alight and anger is ignited, but this is the last time he is seen alive, but the person in the spotlight for causing it doesn’t know why they are there, but this is just the beginning of the strange things that start to happen. The time gaps increase and the memories associate them are fuzzy and incomplete, but when somebody else is hurt and the spotlight seems even brighter and more blame is piled on top, things start to unravel, the mind starts to fracture and the explanations seem far fetched, but that is where the truth lies, however unbelievable it is.
As the injuries and bodies pile up and the darkness creeps in, the unbelievable becomes fact and the fear increases, but what has happened during the time gaps and will the incomplete memories explaining them ever be revealed? Who is the one who has been doing all these hurtful things and why? When the person seen in the mirror is not the one you know, how would you react? This is a thought provoking murder mystery with a twist where you have to read to the end to understand the tale, but it is well worth the read and you will be rushing to the conclusion to find out if your suspicions and assumptions are indeed the correct ones.

I Will Bury You is a YA twisted psychological thriller story by Brandy Nacole. This story is full of deception and lies, suspense and mystery and more. I Will Bury You is fast paced and full of suspense from start to finish. I found myself having to back track and reread sections due to some editing issues. Overall, it didn’t detract from the story that much it just stilted the easy flow.
She is losing a fight with reality. Who is after her? Is she next to wind up dead? What is real and what isn’t? Who is that person looking back at her?
YA’s will love this story and will not want to put it down.
