Fun cozy read to curl up to. This is book 2 of the series and this story is totally enjoyable. Ellie Warren, owner of Kitty Beret Cafe, was asked by a past customer to run a rescue cat show. Hesitant at first, Ellie decides to run with it…that is until she has a run in with a deceased cat judge! Who is behind the murder of a cat judge?? Definitely read and find out.
This series is fun to read….cozy murder mystery with a love of cats in costumes! I also just love Templeton… especially my favorite line of “I’m ready to cause mayhem”.

Hartman – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
This installment has a ton of HP vibes, especially with the flying car and the competition among the schools. I enjoyed the story and the character development. You get to know more about the main cast of characters in this book, which was interesting. I particularly liked the scenes with the helper/familiars and the addition to that group. As with the first book, I liked that the author doesn’t put in a bunch of fluff. The story is right to the point with no unnecessary detours. Quick read. Excellent follow up to the first book.

King – Review by Naomi McDonald
As a lover of everything apocalyptic/dystopian, I grabbed this anthology pretty quickly. Every single one of these stories is great and I highly recommend picking this up. As a bonus, all of the proceeds are going to veterans and first responders, you just can’t beat that.
It was difficult to pick a favorite since all of these were amazing, but Courtney Konstantin’s was fantastic!! From the moment I opened to her page of “Babysitter of the Apocalypse,” I was floored. Non-stop action throughout the whole story and I was racing to read faster just to find out what happened next. My heart can’t take any more suspense for a bit as these got to me! It was wonderful to see the absolute perseverance of the characters and how they worked together to pull through no matter the cost. I cannot recommend this anthology enough, pick it up and catch the thrill ride in each story!

I had not read anything from this author previously, but I am excited to read the rest of this series and her other works. I thought this was a really cute rom-com, murder mystery, with a dash of good humor mixed into it. The main character, Ellie, is in her 20’s, so sometimes I had to remember that some of the things she did, was age appropriate. The author legit had me guessing whodunit right up until the very end. She had red herrings all over the place and they were convincing. I thought it was a very fun and cute book and I look forward to seeing how things pan out between Ellie and the very hot Detective Simon Dare, who seems to have the stamp of approval from her mischievous cat, Templeton.

Ellie is back again and this time she is trying to run a very lengthy cat show for rescue cats. Unfortunately one of the judges, who is an actual judge, turns up dead. Plus side, we get to see more interactions between Ellie and the hot Detective Simon Dare, although the relationship between Detective Dare and her kitty Templeton just continues to get cuter. Again the writer does an amazing job of mixing a murder mystery up into a cute rom-com with such adorable humor. Again, the author does a fantastic job of writing the supporting characters in such a way that I was kept guessing until the very end as to who was the murderer. I am excited to read the third installment in the series!

Hartman – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris
If the Kitty Beret Cafe was real I would be the most loyal costumer. That being said any cat lover would fall in love with this book because Templeton is the cutest little baby ever. He has so much personality if at the end of the book he turned out to be like Salem from Sabrina then I would not have been surprised. But spoiler alert that did not happen, he is just a cat that saves the day.
Lets talk about who joined Templeton in this cozy mystery: Ellie – the owner of the cafe who is accused of murder. A cat lover to her core, she fosters cats and helps get them adopted. She sews cat costumes and dresses them up for there days at the cafe. Simon- One of the police detectives on the case (the murder of Mary Harrington) Shirl – Works at the cafe Hooper – Works at the cafe Andy – Boyfriend to Shirl, someones tags along on the adoption day drives Mr. Harrington – husband to the victim Cat Hate Group – A group of people who hates cats; friend and frenemies of Mary Harrington.
What I liked about this book was the cat love. While this book is a fun read and all the characters in Canyon Creek are mostly fun characters. In this book everyone is a suspect, and I am not exaggerating EVERYONE is a suspect. At one point this book makes it so that everyone is a creditable suspect at one time and I really thought the husband just wanted her out of the way.
That being said the murderer is revealed and it does make sense though no matter how many cozy mysteries I read I will never understand why they fill the need to confess everything.
This book checked all my boxes, funny, fast read, cats, cozy mystery, sweet and great characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of anyting listed above.

Wow, do I ever like the change of pace. I have watched shows before where different elements are brought into the picture, but this is one of the first novels I’ve read with this take on magic/paranormal aspect within their pages. I absolutely love Brooke’s character throughout, but especially as she’s becoming comfortable in her own skin, and owning her person. She has just met some of her life goals when things get a little steamy, so to speak, and Levi enters into the story.
The character development was wonderful, slow, yet addictive and delightful with every sentence, and I really felt as though I was experiencing the whirlwind of emotions both main characters felt. This author is a new one for me, and I will be sure to read more of her skilled writing soon, especially the next installment in this series. Highly recommend, well worth a read!

This is the first book that I have read from Matilda Reyes and I was not disappointed. I was not able to put the book down. I had to finish it from beginning to end. It had me hooked starting from the first page until the last page. Ava Ramos is one furious mage. New York City is her town, and she and her Black Cauldron Detective Agency know every beat of the supernatural underground. Need an object found or secrets uncovered? Ava and her partners are the mages to contact. A former rival, Tasis, shows up with a case that proves Ava just might not know everything about her town. The Lauret Grimoire, the oldest known compendium of the supernatural, has gone missing from one of the most closely guarded magikal libraries in the city. The mages assigned to guard the damned thing can’t find any clues. Tasis is one of those mages. Now, Tasis is calling in the last favor Ava owes him. Ava never breaks her word, so she and the Black Cauldron Detective Agency take the impossible case. I can’t wait to read the second book and see what else happens. I recommend this book for any and everyone. It’s a terrific read and I look forward to more books in the future
River Witch is my first book by this author. I was interested because of the blurb on the cover. I was not disappointed. The story follows Hester, a farmer’s daughter intrigued by the river, Sabrina, and the river nymphs. I liked that this story was a bit magical while having realistic characters. I enjoyed reading how Hester developed into a young woman. The story has twists and is filled with lore and world-building. The story develops slowly and creates a beautiful dialogue between humanity and nature. I look forward to delving into more books by this author soon.
This is the first book of the modern-day fairy tale series and I fell in love with it immediately. The book immediately captured my attention from the very first page and I was not able to put the book down until I had finished it. This is also the first book that I have read from the author and I wasn’t disappointed. Ashley Adams doesn’t have time for haters. Already too busy dealing with dead bodies after her stepmother purchased a mortuary, she is ready to put the lid on her judgmental peers and finally bury her high school experience. Falling in love was the last thing on her mind. Too bad fate had other plans when the local celebrity lands in her life. Pop sensation Harry James is ordered by the court to attend public school for his senior year or face jail time. He can’t afford any bad press if he wants his summer tour to go ahead. But when he ducks into the mortuary where Ashley works to escape a mob of fans, he wonders if he is chasing the wrong dream. High school mean girls, a controlling publicist, and scheming stepsisters want to keep Ashley away from Harry. After all, everyone knows the popstar doesn’t belong with the social outcast. If only they had some fairy magic to help them find their happy ending… Ashes is a fun and snarky standalone YA romance. If you like captivating characters, emotional twists and turns, Fairies and Cinderella retellings, then you’ll adore MK Harkins’ fast-paced tale. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series and see what else the author has in store for this series.

I can not wait to read books 2 and 3!!! I LOVED this book! I love most supernatural books, but I love seeing the character’s at a young point and then watching them grow.

She has more than one scolding about her interests, but looking for answers about illegal witchcraft and her being the seventh born are at the top of her priorities right now. As school progresses she’s half learning about grave diggers and what they do, but it’s not until she is thrown into a bet with another student that she wishes she paid more attention! Something is off at the Gave Digger Academy and she’s only just beginning to learn some of it. Will she make it through the year?

King – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn
This is a quick mystery sure to steal your attention from other things you should be doing. I loved that it is a mystery but also stays lighthearted, never getting too dark.
Ellie hosts a rescue cat show instead of the pompous, breed-restricted cat shows that are normally presented. She wants to help her lovely kitties find a home, and thanks to a previous friendly customer she may have a chance to do that while showing them off. Before all the fun starts, Ellie stumbles upon a dead body. Can she help find homes for her rescues while trying to solve this murder or will one cancel the other out?
I never expected to read a book about kittens and murder, but what a wonderful mashup! You’ll be able to sit and soak this up within a day very easily. Pick it up and kick back to see what Ellie and her cats get up to.

Hartman – Review by Shannen Kern
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, I was looking forward to this second instalment, and I was definitely not disappointed. I loved being back with Ellie Warren, the owner of the ‘Kitty Beret Café’, and her very clever cat Templeton, who we were introduced to in book one. In this storyline, Ellie hosts a cat show for rescued cats, but the fun turns serious when one of the judges is murdered. Ellie, with the help of Detective Dare, and of course Templeton, has to run the cat show, crown a ‘Best in Rescue Winner’ of the competition, and find the killer! This is a heartwarming cozy mystery which kept me hooked from start to finish, and the plot twists kept me guessing as to the identity of the killer. I felt fully immersed in the storyline, and engaged with Ellie, so much so, that I felt like I was investigating alongside her, once again. I look forward to catching up with Ellie and Templeton again soon.

Hartman – Review by Jennifer Gordon
After ending another relationship when he realized that the woman was only after his money, Jake is unsure of how he will ever find a good woman. When his group of friends encourage him to try a new blind date app, he is hesitant at first. However, they talk him into it…and even decide they will each pick a woman for him to go on a date with. After the first one is a disaster…he’s not even sure he wants to go on the second one. But, when he does, there is a spark. An impromptu meeting with one of his best friends reveals who the mystery woman is. He wants to see where things will go…so why does she seem so disappointed?
Lauren enjoys being an independent woman who pays her own way in the world. After a series of events (including a horrible roommate) ends with her becoming roommates with her boss’s sister…Lauren finds herself being talked into trying a new blind date app. She goes on the date but is still hesitant…until she finds out (by accident) who the mystery man is. She has a hangup with being labeled a gold-digger…and it is something that plagues her every decision. Can she let go and just live in the moment? Or will her fear stop her from exploring what could be her happily ever after?
I enjoyed this story. Both Jake and Lauren were great characters….who am I kidding?…all the characters in the book are great (minus everyone’s parents!). Lauren’s insecurities and hangups were felt coming off the pages…and I loved that Jake was able to quiet those fears over time. I’m sure I will be checking out the next book because I am now invested in this group of friends!!

I believe Rei is my favorite in this series. She’s small but packs a punch. She uses her size to make people forget that she is powerful. She observes a lot while investigating the weird stuff going on in the new town she and her family have moved to. Once she gets herself involved on the school newspapers, she’s sticking her nose in where it may nto belong. This story is full of punch, drama, adventure, and teen angst with some paranornal thrown in. I love it. One of my favorite teen paranormal series, this can be read as a standalone. I do recommend the series read. The characters are so realistic and relatable. I love the plot, so teenager like, even with the paranormal in it. Rei is a pretty badass young woman. Well done!

This was an adorable, sweet and romantic story. Jake is over dating because all the women seem to be after his money. Lauren does not like rich men because they are all the same, looking for that supermodel that just wants to travel and spend all their money. She just wants a respectable man to settle down with a live a good life. Both of their friends convince them to go on a blind date, literally blind in a PITCH dark restaurant. It was a lovely spin on a blind date, the story was cute, romantic, steamy at times and the friends were realistic. The main thing that was missing for me was the background of the FMC. There was this small part where there seems to be a bit of conflict on the FMC part but it could have been much more developed earlier in the book with more information on FMC past relationship with her mother. The other conflict was with a friend of the MMC and it seemed awkward at best in the story. I think there is A LOT of potential in this series with a little more backstory to the characters.

Ellie, the owner of the Kitty Beret Cafe is asked to put on a cat show for rescues. Kitty Beret Cafe is the ultimate cafe hosting rescue cats. The show itself is a job, but helping to solve a murder is a whole ‘nother job in itself! One of the judges of the show is found murdered and both Ellie and her handy sidekick cate, Templeton jump on board to lend a hand to solve the case! This is a quick read – if you love cats, you’ll love the story! This is book two in the series. But you can read it as a stand alone.

I enjoyed this quick read about a girl that finds herself at a magical school. It had elements that reminded me of the Mortal Instruments, Harry Potter, or House of Night vibes. It was magical with a hint of dark lore and I loved that the undead was a part of the story as well. This was definitely a fun, easy-to-read book that left me wanting to read the next book to answer some of my questions.

King – Review by Shai Flores
This story is about Rock and Becca. Rock has been outed by the Satan’s Devils. Out on his own he finds another MC to join. The only reason he was able to join was because he has information on Satan’s Devils. While there he discovers a young woman shackled to a post. His job is to feed her but don’t talk to her. Becca is in a marriage that is abusive and cruel. When her husband was sent to prison he handed her over to the Chaos Riders MC. Which were not to touch her but keep her alive. Both Rock and Becca are in what could be the end of them both. Will they get out alive? Could there be a romance in the making? The author of this series is one of my favorites. Her books are well written and loaded with action. I have found myself at the edge of my seat listening to this story. I have read the book, but listening to it in audio is so much more intense. The narrator reading this story brings it to life. Go ahead and read this one. I recommend you start with book 1 to get to know the characters and the Satan’s Devils.

This was my first book by this author but won’t be my last! I liked that this book was dark and emotional, set in a zombie apocalypse world. The main character, a single mom, trying to keep herself and her daughter alive connected with me. I love to see a strong single mom character. This book was an enjoyable read if you are ok with books that are on the darker side.
It has been a long time since I read a collection like this, but I remembered what I love about it. This collection supports an important charity which I also really liked. This collection is all based on post-apocalyptic tales, which is one of my favorite genres. I loved the different approaches each author took and the variety in writing styles. If you love zombie apocalypse or survivor-type stories, I would definitely encourage you to check this out.

I thought this was an easy-to-read, enjoyable book. I loved the twists and turns, with some fantasy, mythological, and historical elements. The world-building was fantastic and I absolutely loved this author’s writing style!
I loved the first in this series, so when I saw there was a sequel I knew that I had to get my hands on it to read it! I could not have been more excited with anticipation! The book and author did not disappoint!
The book is a book that can be read alone just fine, but to get the full enjoyment of this freaking fantastic author, I suggest you read the first as I did. The book is unique and special in more ways than one. It is nothing like what I have read in my lifetime. The characters are funny and weird in their own special way tat really makes the story, the book captivated me and intrigued me as much at the first book did! This one had tons of twists and turns, maybe even more than the previous! The humor was perfectly done in this one, if not even better than the previous! Perfectly written. Love this author’s writing! Love this book!
I cannot say more good and awesome things about this author! I love how they write and create these books I have come to love. Cant say enough good things! A must read highly recommend the book/author!

Dating is not easy in general. Imagine being a billionaire looking for actual love that isn’t out for your money. Imagine taking a detailed questionnaire to set up a profile for a dating application where you don’t get to see the other person and must rely on the algorithm to pair you with another. Then a date where you cannot see your date. This concept was well written in this story. I couldn’t put the book down.
You want someone to love you for you, but you are a well known billionaire. This is a dilemma facing Jake. Women just want him for his money and could care less about the man behind the money. His friends talk him into a new way to date that would help eliminate the money chasers, blind dating. You have the option to talk prior to the date or leave it to full chance when meeting at the restaurant in the dark where you dine with your date.
Lauren wants a significant other that is well off, but not at the extravagant level of her billionaire boss. Catherine, her friend, convinces her to let her choose a blind date for her. A night of chatting in the dark with a stranger. A date unlike any other with a man that she enjoys talking with though not enough to give him her identity just yet. Intrigued, she agrees to continue getting to know one another through messaging.
How will the two get along when their identities become known? Did the new blind dating work?
Don’t wait. Pick up the book and find out for yourself.

I have always loved books by this gifted author. This one really stuck with me! It was deep at times, and the book and the issues of the couple were full of realism and being realistic! You felt a lot while reading.
I felt and really understood a lot between Ava and Cole. Things were rocky, and they let things get that way, but there was no denying the feelings they had that had them be together in the first place. I really felt for them both, was rooting for them all the way through, I wanted to know if they would try again or really call it quits. The book had its empowering sense and gripping the reader, with the journey the author took the reader on. Motivating and heartfelt all the way through! Could not put it down Loved it
Great read that held me to its end. Of course I enjoyed the authors writing as usual! For sure a must read and very much highly recommend this author and this book! Neither is something to be passed up!

I really enjoyed this book and the author’s writing skills. I could not simply put it down, there was much to learn about and wonder, and of course it was a book full of action and intrigue!
I loved the writing of the story and how the author did the flow of the characters and the story! Loved the fantasy aspect of the story. The Elementals were great beings, that I loved learning about. Brooke was a great addition to the story as well, she was very relatable and in a human way, complicated things for Levi. There was a lot of chemistry and passion, but there was a line that must not be crossed for many reasons. I cannot wait to read more by this author and the Elementals. There was so much I wanted answered, I just really enjoyed the characters and the story! Really held my interest! Loved it!
Great read, full of action, suspense, and moments that make your heart ache! A fun read as well! I look forward to reading more! For sure, I highly recommend this author and book! A must read!

This book was amazing as I knew it would be! It had intrigue, and action, and danger, and fascinating facts on the characters as you read through! The book truly held its own!
I love reading this series. This story was about Rei and her story. It was a great tie in, it cleared up a lot of things, explained the whole Meghan working thing. I thought it was a great addition to the series, and really made me connect with Rei as well I loved the intrigue, the history that became history that was Rei I mean. The story had great character build up and suspense. Secrets were put into the open and a lot of things that I wondered about came to light! Really enjoyed this! I loved it from start to finish!
I simply just love this series. The author does such an amazing job. I very much enjoyed this installment/as well as tie in to the story! This is a high recommendation for this must read! I do suggest to start with book 1 in the series, as you will be very much able to follow through with the books and characters.
