Murder She Meowed (Bookshop Kitties Mysteries Book 2)Murder She Meowed by Ruth J. Hartman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Murder She Meowed is the second book in the Bookshop Kitties Mystery series by Ruth J. Hartman. I know I am always in for a treat when one of Ms. Hartman’s books lands on my Kindle- and this definitely didn’t disappoint.
As expected, this is a well-woven, fun cozy mystery- a bit of a whodunnit with murder, crime & investigation, quirky characters, feline cast members, humour, banter, drama, adventure, intrigue, drama, angst, small town charm, clever touches, family, friendship, and surprising developments.
Christy Bailey is thrust into the middle of a murder mystery while helping her friend clean up her pastry shop after her aunt’s wedding. But finding a body wasn’t part of the plan. Especially since the body is her friend’s ex-husband- putting Janey at the top of the suspect list- and so things take an intriguing turn. We follow along as Christy and co set about finding some answers to prove her friend’s innocence. What happens makes for an entertaining read.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Hartman.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Ruth J. Hartman!

Marcy Alexander has agreed to help her friend with the costumes for a play that she is doing. She ends up not only reading lines for a lady that never showed up to rehearsals, but ends up being cast in that leas role. What exactly has she gotten herself into? A ghost known as Ellen shows up with a mystery for Marcy to solve. Ellen herself was the leading lady of the very play Marcy got sucked into 50 years prior and mysteriously disappeared. Will Marcy be able to solve Ellen’s mystery and help her to rest peacefully? Or will it be her final curtain? This was a good sequel to Divinely Vintage and can be read as a stand alone. It was entertaining and kept me turning the pages.

This is apart of a series but 100% can be read as a standalone with no issue. I think the ending could’ve been stronger and I would’ve liked a more climactic discussion between Ros & Jackson. I haven’t read all the books in the set but I do like that they don’t require you to.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love curling up to a good cozy mystery and I am no stranger to this author’s books. Murder She Meowed is Book 2 in the Bookshop Kitties Mysteries, and while I did not read the first book (yet), this story could be easily be read as a stand-alone…but I will definitely by circling back to read from the beginning. This story was fun to read with mystery, secrets a few twists and turns and of course kitties!! I love how this author integrates her story along with the kitties that make it fun.

Christy and a few friends help with her Aunt Betty’s wedding event to make sure everything is perfect. What could honestly go wrong on a joy-filled day then a wedding….but to only discover at Christy’s best friends pastry shop that Janie is not only greeted by her own ex husband…..only to lead to his death. With the detective having his eyes on Janie as a suspect….what did happen to her ex. As the pieces start to come together…the question is…who would even want Tad dead….hopefully Christy and her friend Micah…along with kitties Pearl and Milton…be able to solve the mystery…

This was a fun read and looking forward to more in this series!

Curse of the Forbidden Island by C.A. King – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Curse of Forbidden IslandCurse of Forbidden Island by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Curse of the Forbidden Island is a paranormal romance. I’ve enjoyed many books by this author, particularly The Portal Prophecies! This is a bite-sized story with plenty packed into a short space.

I particularly enjoyed the setting! Reading this book on a bus in February, it was great to imagine a job where I could go and lie on a warm, sandy beach as soon as I’d finished for the day. We got plenty of background and development with Selene who never quite fits in or knows how to behave. Her curiosity brings readers into the story and helps us to wonder about the mysteries surrounding the island.

Although it’s a short book, I felt like it was satisfyingly complete. There’s plenty to fuel the imagination about what might happen after the story ends, but the story is well paced and the ending doesn’t feel rushed.

This book gets four stars from me! I’d recommend it to adult readers who are fans of this author, and any paranormal romance fans who want to replace gloomy castles with a tropical island!

This is a new to me author and she did not disappoint! Let me tell you that I devoured this book. It was just the right amount of spice combined with fantastic characters and page turning action.

When I first picked up this book I didn’t realize it was so far I to a series of other books but I still enjoyed it! While it certainly can be read as a stand alone I think that if I started from book one I would have enjoyed it much more. I can not wait to start this series from the beginning.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A New Day for Cray is the 2nd book I’ve read with my 7 year old in this series (The Adventures of Cray on the Bay). Cray is a mean little crab at the start of this book! He pinches all his friends, and they do not like it. I’m glad he had a transformation and learned his lesson- and taught a lesson to all the young readers regarding friendship and kindness. All his friends names rhyme, which my son thought was cool. We have Fay (turtle), Ray (seagull) and Hay (fox). The illustrations in this book are lovely; so fun and colorful. After reading this book, we had to do some research on crabs loosing their claws. Then went back to the other Cray book we read (Cray Saves the Day), to see if he had 2 claws in that story. I love this series and my son can’t wait to read the rest.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cray Saves the Day is a cute book from the Adventures of Cray on the Bay series. The book teaches kids to take care of the earth- don’t litter and clean up after yourselves. It presents an important topic, in a way that is easy for the young readers to understand. It would be great for Earth Day or responsibility topics presented to youngsters. The book is rhyming and has a lot of characters, who each have their own book (we plan to read later). My 7 year old read the book to me without assistance so it would be great for early elementary students. The illustrations are bright and colorful.

Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride RomanceDeja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deja Brew All Over Again is my first read from Sylvie Stewart but definitely not my last! I just adored this romance!!!!

Miller sees himself as the family screw-up, although I think he is a little hard on himself. Yes, he has made some decisions that weren’t the best, but boy does this guy have a knight in shining armor’s heart! He loves his family, and I loved how he went completely out of his way to help Maisy and Bear! He was everything that made him a great book boyfriend!!! He’s pretty much irresistible and is the perfect package even though that package might be a little dented.

Maisy was the perfect match for Miller. She has the same heart, and she only wants the best for her little brother, Bear, and she will do just about anything to get him out of the clutches of her horrible, irresponsible mother. UGH! She also saw things in Miller that others necessarily didn’t see. She wasn’t just beautiful…she was smart, intelligent, tenacious, and loyal to those she loved.

I loved Miller’s family! They were just great characters, and I loved how they each accepted and protected Maisy and Bear. And, Bear, there are no words for this precocious little boy. He made me laugh more than anybody in the book. I loved getting to know this wonderful family!!!!!

I was in the mood to read something lighter. I have been reading a lot of thrillers, which I love, but I needed something a bit lighter. This book did not disappoint! It had all the ingredients I love in a romance…a great story, wonderful characters, and a swoony romance. I got all of these things and more in this one. Plus, Stewart is a great writer!!!! I started the series with this particular book, and I can’t wait to go back and get to know all the other characters better! Thanks, Sylvie Stewart, for giving me the book I needed at just the right time!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh wow. INTENSE and it’s just the beginning of an amazing series. Naomi Valkyrie is one of those authors you don’t realize you’re missing in your life until you read one of her incredible books.
Xenobia was just another slave, dreaming of escape and bracing for what would come next. Urd was her new roommate in a long list of blurs before her. It does no good to get attached they usually don’t stay long. But Urd wormed around her defenses and got inside her heart. Rumors of an underground that help girls escape their Masters and Mistresses is the main goal. She wants to take Urd and escape to finally be free. One night a moment of weakness and her steely resolve shatters she attacks and the changes that follow are a blessing and a curse.
Will Xenobia find the underground? Can she save Urd? What is happening to her? The world is just beginning, and I was so wound up by the end I felt deflated when it ended so quickly. Sorry about the dust as I speed to the first book in the House Valdis series, The Rise of House Valdis to discover what happens next for Xenobia.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read another Kitty series by this author so I was excited when I saw the ‘Bookshop Kitties Mysteries’ series. I love the way the author writes the interactions with the cats. It is so wholesome.

Christy’s aunt was getting married. At the wedding, there was an unexpected guest. Since Christy is relatively new to town, she didn’t recognize the man that everyone was upset about appearing. All she knew was that his name was Tad. Later that night Christy and her best friend, Janie, and Christy’s love interest, Micah all go to Janie’s shop to help her bring her stuff back from the venue. Low and behold they find Tad dead on the floor of Janie’s shop.

Everyone is a suspect and it is the talk of the town. Tad had a lot of enemies. No one in town had something nice to say about him. This is also the second time Christy has been the person to find a dead body in this small town causing her to be the talk of the town herself. Christy is on the case with her kitties Milton and Pearl. Her best friend is the main suspect since Tad was her ex-husband. Christy wants to prove her friend’s innocence.

This is the first fake romance story I have read in a while and I think it is a really great one. I connected with the characters so easily and I thought the author did a great job of making them relatable and feel real. I thought the overall story was good and fit well with the characters and their development throughout the book.
This is an author that I have become more familiar with over the last couple of years and I always enjoy her work. Her books are always well written and interesting and this book has definitely confirmed that I want to discover more of what she has to offer. This is a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I really love this series by this author and this is yet another great addition to it. I am a die hard vampire romance reader and this once again hit the spot. I love how the author is able to bring the characters to life and drag the reader into the book. There is just the right amount of drama and adventure mixed into the romance. I really like how this brings the characters together as well as creates the world in which they are in. The reader is really drawn into the world and left on the edge of their seats waiting to see how the story will unfold. I really love how the books really do blend into one another. I really look forward to the next book in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a fun little read that starts off at a wedding with the attendants being cats. What a cute idea! Janie is horrified to see someone in the crowd at the wedding that she was hoping she’d never see again. Apparently a few others felt the same way! Soon we learn that the “mystery man” is found murdered on the floor of Janie’s shop.

Not one to shy away from a good mystery, Christy and her cats Milton and Pearl report for duty. They know Janie is innocent as they were all together during the time of the incident. Micah also pitches in to help in between his shifts as an ER doc. Together, they will find a way to solve this mystery, but what other mysteries will pop up in the process?

These cats are SPOILT!!! They are the stars of this book series and have a big role to play. They are also the characters in Christy’s book series that she writes and sells in her bookstore. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author. This was my first time reading her work!

Dirty Heartbreaker is the fun third instalment of the Hamilton Steelhawks series by A C Sheppard. This is my first time reading anything by these authors and it was an enjoyable read.
The series focuses on the members of the Hamilton Steelhawks an ice hockey sports series.
Opposites attract, enemies to lover’s trope with this tale. They say there is a fine line between hate and love and in this story that seems to be true.
It’s fun to see the sass, the bite and the snarky banter between these two. This is Colby and Gabriella’s story.
Journey along as we watch these two fight their way to happiness or do they.
Dirty Heartbreaker is one for sports lovers.
I look forward to seeing what else this writing duo come up with.

C.A. King’s fantastical imagination strikes again in this Novella. Curse Of The Forbidden Island is a wonderful and intriguing paranormal read that takes you on a fast paced mystery. I thought Selene was a very entertaining protagonist and I absolutely loved the idea of the masks. I really hope this novella is an introduction of a whole new series because 52 pages only whet my appetite for more. I definitely recommend this book and any C.A. King books in general if you like gripping, unpredictable, paranormal stories with great characters and amazing plots.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Bookshop Kitties Series. These are a short cosy mystery read and even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone.
One thing is love is that the authors imagination and character development really brings the stories to life. You can’t help but be drawn into the story and the mystery has so many twists and turns that you are constantly kept guessing.

In this book we are back with Christy and her friends. When a distant relative turns up at her Aunty Betty’s wedding she is left wondering who he is. When it turns out that he is her best friend Janie’s ex husband things start to get strange and when said ex husband is found dead on Janie’s shop floor the question then is who is responsible.
Janie is the prime suspect but even though she was at the wedding could she still have commited the crime? And if not her then who?
As Christy starts to learn more about who this man was she starts to realise that the amount of people who would have wanted him dead keep increasing. Christy knows he wasn’t a nice man but even she is shocked as revelations come out about what he did and to who.
But the question remains who is responsible for his death? Can she clear her friends name?

Another great story from an author I have looked forward to reading more of. Harper and Gabriel have history. Not good history, things were said and done that destroyed their friendship. Now in the face of danger can they depend on each other? Can they forgive and build what was lost. This suspenseful story has so much going on and yet the author kept it smooth going. This is a fast paced page turner. I fell in love with the characters and the parts they played. The story is well written and I am looking forward to seeing where the author takes this series next. What a fantastic contemporary romance. So worth reading. I hope you enjoy the story as much as I do.

This was a really quick read and it was definitely steamy. I am giving this book 5 stars because it has great characters and builds an amazing setting. I found that was able to sit down and just read the book without having to stop or pause because of something in the book. I did however, feel that the book was a bit rushed or I felt it was lacking more. Maybe the best way to put it is, that I wish it was longer so it could expand on everything in the book. So lacking isn’t really the word just I needed more. It does have everything it needs to feel complete. I was still really happy with the book. Don’t let my need for more be what sways you from reading it. It is really good and you will feel yourself swoon when you need to and even blush. If you are looking for a quick escape this would be a great book for that. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

This book…wow!! I’ve been a huge fan of this author and this book definitely grabs you and makes you

Before deciding.
Their plans of college together, then living happily ever after come crashing down when they get devastating news one night. With no time to process, their lives change right then and there. Harper can’t think of how to keep Gabriel in the dark about her horrible home life so she does what she can only think is best and that’s break up with him. They both go on to live their own lives. Gabriel hating Harper. Harper missing Gabriel but blocking his # and blocking him on social media until 10 years later when she thinks he’s in danger. How will Gabriel feel
About Harper showing up out of the blue spewing all this crazy talk. The chemistry between these two is ridiculously hot. True love never dies…or does it?
When Harper gets back to Chicago and tries to explain to Gabriel what’s going on will he believe her, will she be able to save Gabriel or will it be a wasted trip. What will happen when her deepest, darkest secrets are revealed. This book was seriously so good. Cannot wait to read more by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Rocklyns Collection: Books 1-7 (The Rocklyns Series) by Alicia Street. I love this boxed set! Each book can be read as a standalone but I really enjoyed reading them in order. This set follows the Rocklyn family of brothers, sisters and cousins as they find love and make their way thru life. My favorite stories were Rainy Day Lovers about Raina who has grown up making sure everyone got along and never really took time for herself. She is a family law attorney and keeps busy with that. Roman is a well known plastic surgeon and has had a lot of loss in his life. When he and Raina meet their is chemistry but can they work thru their past issues to make it work? Improbable Lovers is about Grant who is a ex Army Ranger and has seen lots of bad things leaving him with a damaged soul. He likes to keep to himself but when he meets Keisha who is a wild independent woman that is up for anything she wants to get to know Grant but only if she can get past his walls. When tragedy strikes for Keisha, Grant is the only person she wants to help her thru it. These stories are all so good and are about a multitude of topics including, second chances, secret baby, forbidden love and grumpy/happy relationships! Such a great boxed set.
