Editor Kill Fee (The Taylor Browning Cozy Mysteries Book 3) by GG Collins – Review by Sheri Schrader

Editor Kill Fee (Taylor Browning Cozy Mysteries #3)Editor Kill Fee by G.G. Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Editor Kill Fee is the third book in The Taylor Browning Cozy Mysteries series. This book can be read as a standalone and enjoyed. I started with this book in the series and look forward to grabbing the first two books to learn about the other mysteries Taylor has gotten herself and her cats into.
Taylor and the other characters are pretty fun. There are some quirky characters between them all, and a few others can be irritating. It adds a bit of realism to them since everyone isn’t cookie-cutter perfect.
I got drawn in by the blurb mentioning the Wine and Crime book club and someone going missing on a deserted road. The story was fun and had some twists and turns. I enjoyed it and read it quickly to find out how it would end. If you like cozy mysteries with a cast of interesting characters, this is a good book to grab. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Breathless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #3)Breathless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Breathless Love is the third book in The Bennetts of Langston Falls series. This can be read as a standalone and wholly enjoyed. This book focuses on Hank Bennett, who dreams of a life in country music. Ella Mae is on tour with her brother, Travis, a successful country singer. Will Hank realize his dreams, or will reality crush them?
I was excited to get to read another story about the Bennetts. Hank has been a fun character in previous books and has become the show’s star. I enjoyed Ella Mae and how she shared so much in common with Hank. I was rooting for them to find a happily ever after. This was a lovely story and gave a behind-the-scenes view of musicians on tour. I liked the show of how it is much work and not all fun and glamour. Like the other books in this series, we get reminded that family can have your back through the worst times and that life isn’t always picture-perfect.
I look forward to reading more from this author shortly.

Sleeping LoveSleeping Love by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sleeping Love is a fantasy, MM romance bringing a fresh take to the Cinderella fairy tale. I was wondering if I would fall for this book because it is difficult to bring a fresh take to a tried and true story. This author took the story and added so many unique elements to make it her own. One element I enjoyed was the Eastern influences on the characters, setting, and world-building. Ayo and Yi are a fascinating match. One is royalty, and the other a pauper. I was rooting for them to break barriers and become so much more than friends and not be torn apart by their circumstances. If you love fairy tales, Eastern mythology, fantasy, and more, this book will not be left on your to-be-read pile long. I look forward to reading more from this author soon.

Concert Hall Hit: A Darcy Gaughan MysteryConcert Hall Hit: A Darcy Gaughan Mystery by J.C. Kenney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Concert Hall Hit: A Darcy Gaughan Mystery is the second book in this series. I have not read the first book in the series and was able to keep everything straight, so never fear if you read it out of order. This is my first book by this author, so I was unsure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised with a fun cozy mystery set in the small town of Marysburg. Darcy owns the popular Marysburg Music in town and suddenly becomes suspected of the murder of a visiting musician with a past. Darcy takes charge of clearing her name and solving the mysterious murder because she doesn’t fully trust the police. There are lots of fun and interesting characters that lead the story to the end. The story gives plenty of twists to keep the reader on their toes. I enjoyed this book and will be looking to backtrack and pick up the first book in this series. I recommend if you enjoy cozy mysteries, murder, and music. It is a fun read.

Healing KissHealing Kiss by Amanda Uhl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Healing Kiss is a paranormal romance that captured my attention. The story starts strong and keeps up the pace throughout the story. Lillian has a healing power that makes her an amazing nurse. Her powers put her at risk from a dangerous organization. Tristan King a billionaire, knows that something is different but amazing about Lillian. Will they be able to assist each other?
As I mentioned, the story starts and does not stop. I was immediately drawn in and did not want to put it down. The characters are interesting, and Lillian was a mystery to me at first. I wanted to understand her power and what she was hiding from. When you add Tristan’s part of the story, it expands Lillian’s story but also helps to expand the world they live in. I enjoyed the paranormal aspects of the story, and it only added to the intrigue of the book. This was my first book by this author, but she hooked me. I look forward to reading more from her in the future.

The Serpent and the FireflyThe Serpent and the Firefly by Courtney Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Serpent and the Firefly is my first book by this author. We meet Jade, who does not know or understand the power she possesses. Baal, the first king of Hell and a serpent shapeshifter, is there to stop Jade before the prophecy is fulfilled. The characters are interesting and help guide the story through the paranormal world. I like Jade and her interesting backstory. When Baal enters the picture, it adds another dimension to her story. I enjoyed the tension between the two characters and how after meeting Jade, it challenges Baal’s plans. If you enjoy paranormal fantasy stories with a lot of action, I recommend this book. After reading it, I will be searching out more to read by this author.

Last KingLast King by Amabel Daniels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Last King is the first book in the Legacy of Riverfall series. I really enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down. This is a fantasy fae story with a bit of romance. Maren is trapped outside in danger from the creatures in a frozen land with the thief Kane. I was intrigued by the story’s description but was drawn into this frozen, fantasy land. The characters were well-developed and helped lead this story.
I had read a different book by this author, but it was a different genre. I wasn’t sure what to expect since this was so different from the other book. Let me tell you, the author did not let me down. The characters, world-building, and storytelling were excellent. I look forward to what the next books in the series bring to the table.

Stars Like GasolineStars Like Gasoline by Jessika Grewe Glover
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stars Like Gasoline is an interesting mystery read. I was drawn in by the blurb and got so much more than I expected. Not only is there an art link but a Hitchcockian-style mystery. Celia, an art curator, gets drawn into so many events after buying the house of her brother’s dead fiance. I enjoyed the characters and how they all played a part in the story. This was well-written and kept me reading. I got drawn into the story and everything going on and did not want to put the book down. This was my first read by this author, and now I will look forward to reading more by her in the future. I highly recommend this if you like intriguing stories with mystery, art, and more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Spot of Earl Slay is the first book in the Tea Time Troubles series. This is my first book by this author, and I look forward to reading more in this series. We are introduced to Naomi and Ella Front, who are new to Fayette. Upon their arrival at their new home, they are greeted with more than they expected. After discovering a corpse on their property, they quickly meet their new neighbors, Barbara and Ingrid.
As the cozy mystery progresses, we get to meet a lot of quirky characters, learn about the relationships in this small town, and more. I enjoyed the story and the characters. I first got drawn in by the book’s name but quickly enjoyed it more than expected. After reading this book, I look forward to getting the next book in this fun, cozy series.

A Curse of Ash and IronA Curse of Ash and Iron by Christine Norris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Curse of Ash and Iron is a clever YA fantasy story. It is a retelling of Cinderella set in Philadelphia in 1876. I enjoyed the characters, especially Ellie. Even though I was familiar with the basis of the story, I was rooting for all good things for her. Moving the story’s setting to the United States added a new layer to the ages-old tale. I grabbed this because of the cover and story blurb and was not disappointed. Historical fiction is one of my favorites and especially the nineteenth century. This left me wanting more. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Dawnbreaker: The House of Blood and SunDawnbreaker: The House of Blood and Sun by Hadley Thorne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dawnbreaker: The House of Blood and Sun is a fantasy-filled story combining our world and Emerald City Under the Mound. Connor, a century-old vampire, was changed against his will, but his world changed when he heard Niamh el Ri’ili sing. Though there are plenty of tropes, the author creates an interesting story. I was pulled into Connor and Niamh el Ri’ili’s trials and tribulations. The story is quick and kept me wanting to read it in one sitting. Also, I enjoyed the cross between the two worlds. I think this added an interesting layer to both the characters and the story. Though this was my first read from this author, I will watch for other books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Lone Star Child is the third book in The Gods’ Scion series. It had been a bit since I read the previous two books in the series, but I was easily brought back into the story. I do recommend reading the first two books before this one to get the most enjoyment. Caro, the Space Acolyte, is the last and only hope for the Ophiuchus to find freedom. This is a fast-paced story with great world-building and interesting characters. I enjoy the unique story and do not feel as if I am reading a rehash of another book. If you enjoy YA, fantasy, or action, this book (and series) will grab your attention. I enjoy Caro but also the different Gods and acolytes. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Thunder On The Moor (Thunder On The Moor, #1)Thunder On The Moor by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thunder On The Moor: A Time Travel Romance is the first book in the Thunder on the Moor series. This series is ongoing, and I highly recommend reading it in order. I started with the second book and was so glad to go back and read this one. The story is a fun adventure in time, with 20th-century and 16th-century characters merging into one story. I like the main character Maggie. She is from the 20th century and was raised as an independent spirit with adventure in her heart. When she is taken into the past by her father she discovers that the past is just as exciting as her father had told her.
I really enjoy the glimpse into the past and how many of the same conflicts echo what we see in the current day. I look forward to seeing what adventures Maggie takes us on in the future books in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shake Loose the Border is the third book in the Thunder On the Moor series. I recommend reading these books in order because it is an ongoing series. This kept me on the edge of my toes, with lots of action and suspense in the story. Set primarily in the sixteenth century, tensions arise as Will and Maggie’s wedding approaches. Maggie is sent back to the twentieth century for safety purposes. Will Maggie and Will be reunited?
As I mentioned, this is packed with action, suspense, and adventure. I couldn’t put it down because I wanted to know how it would end. I already had the fourth book so I knew the story would continue but I had to get some resolution. I look forward to reading the fourth book to see how their story continues.

With Fire and Sword: A Time Travel Romance is the fourth book in the Thunder On the Moor series. I recommend reading the books for the most enjoyment. This time Will and Maggie are getting settled into the 20th century when things start to unravel. After an urgent call for help from the past, can Will and Maggie repair what is torn?
I have enjoyed this series, and this installment didn’t disappoint me. I enjoy the time travel aspects and learning more about how all the characters fit into the story. The author must have tons of notes to keep track of the time travel and what each character is aware of. This is a fun read full of adventure and romance. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Breach of Trust (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 8)Breach of Trust by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Breach of Trust is the eighth book in The Madeline Dawkins series. This can be read as a standalone and enjoyed. I recommend reading the earlier books first to enjoy them fully. Madeline and Mike are back at it with a busy workload. Hit with three cases at the same time, and they tackle all of them. I know this can sound like a lot to handle in one book, but the author takes the storytelling well without leading to a confusing or bogged-down read. I always enjoy the dialogue between Madeline and Mike. One of the cases involves a horrible ex-husband that Madeline relates to all too well. Also, one of the cases involves a senior retirement village with a poison pen writer.
Even though we have the same primary characters in each book, they are still developing and have yet to get stale. Madeline has come a long way since the first book. I look forward to reading more in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Esprit de Corpse is a paranormal, steampunk story that grabbed my attention in the first few pages. Jacqueline and her sister Angélique encounter a malfunctioning automaton on the Paris-Orléans railway. Jacqueline is intrigued because the automaton is not powered by normal means. Can the sisters solve the mystery behind the automaton?
I enjoy historical fiction with a Victorian flair, which hits all the buttons. The characters are interesting and well-developed. Also, the story drew me in from the very beginning. This is the first book I have read by this author but hope to read more by them. I have always been fascinated by stories with automatons, and I was intrigued by the concepts used for this story. I hope to read more about Jacqueline and Angelique soon.

Other People's Money (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 7)Other People’s Money by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Other People’s Money is the seventh book in the Madeline Dawkins series. This can be read as a standalone book but is much more enjoyed if read after the preceding books in the series. Madeline is on the case again with her husband, Mike, and associate Samir. What starts as one case quickly grows to three in this book. Are the cases related, or do they have a common thread of “Other People’s Money”? I always enjoy the build-up of suspense in this author’s books, and this one didn’t disappoint. Madeline and her team work well together and always figure out the case, but I enjoy the journey. The cases in this book were intriguing and kept me questioning who was at the bottom of everything. I look forward to grabbing the next book in the series soon.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Romanov Heiress is a historical fiction story set in an alternate past. We have four Romanov sisters hiding in England in fear for their lives. Olga, the oldest, must do everything to protect them and find the truth in the rumors concerning their mother. Well-researched and thought out, this story gives the Romanov sisters a chance to survive despite the intentions of the Bolsheviks. I have always been fascinated with the stories of the Romanov family. This is an enjoyable and suspenseful read of what could have happened if the girls had escaped. Even though there is so much about the family, this added another layer to the fictional accounts. I enjoyed this book and will be looking for more from this author.

Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo Book 1)Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel by Reggi Dupree
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel is the first book in the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo Book series. At first, I was unsure what to think about the book, but once I got further, I got sucked into Gwen’s story. This paranormal story is set in the familiar but unfamiliar Hoodoo, Texas. I enjoy Gwen’s character and how she speaks about how she has grown comfortable with herself. We all view the past differently when we look back on it, and she has a great voice while explaining where she has come from. Set in a small town, you get a mix of the comfort of home with the gossip of Gwen’s return. She left under unusual circumstances and returns under unusual circumstances as well. I can hear the town gossiping now.
Now that I have delved into this series, I look forward to reading more.

Falling for You (Buckeye Falls, #2)Falling for You by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Falling For You: A Buckeye Falls Novel is the second book in this small-town romance series. This can be read as a standalone story, but better enjoyed after reading the first book in the series. In this book, CeCe knows what she wants in life and work. She loves working in the kitchen and creating new dishes at the diner. Evan works with CeCe and loves his job (even more because CeCe is there). Will he be able to break down the walls CeCe has put up?
I enjoyed CeCe in the first book and was glad to see the focus on her this time. This allows us to discover more about her past and why she has built walls to keep herself from being drawn into a romance. Evan is adorable in his crushing on CeCe. He is a complete optimist and does not let anything get him down. Together the two make a cute romance that is hard to put down. I have been rooting for Evan since the last book, and again glad to see this story play out. I look forward to reading more from this author soon. She has a knack for small-town romances.

Notebook Mysteries: Suspicions is the fifth book in the Notebook Mysteries series. It is January 1889, and we find Emma and her team back to solving mysteries. This can be enjoyed as a standalone, but I recommend picking up the earlier books first. I enjoyed delving back into the life of Emma. This time she is busy with multiple cases going on. There is also the return of someone from her past. With everything draining Emma and Jeremy’s energy, they must battle the challenges. I enjoyed this series and enjoyed this newest addition to the series. If you enjoy mystery and historical fiction with a strong female lead, this is a great series to grab. I look forward to picking up more from this author in the near future.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance is the first book in Love on Tap series.
I always enjoy books by this author, and I was glad to grab a new book by her. This is a fun enemies-to-lovers romance. Cash owns a local brewery with his brother, and his arch-enemy Hollis owns the dog grooming business next door. The two have developed a mutual dislike of one another. The snark between them and the pranks they pull are great. You can feel the sparks growing between them. When they join forces to save Cash’s business, they are a power to be reckoned with. I enjoyed the characters and the back-and-forth between them. This is an entertaining romantic read with a HEA. I look forward to grabbing the next book in this series. With this author, I’m always guaranteed a good book.

How To Write A Historical Novel And Love ItHow To Write A Historical Novel And Love It by T.L. Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How to Write a Historical Novel and Love It: A Beginner’s Guide to Researching, Writing, and Publishing a Historical Book is a well-rounded how-to book. I have read several novels by this author and always enjoy attention to detail. Here all of the pieces are broken down into easy to understand bits. Clark asks questions the author should’ve thought about before delving too far into writing their novel. The different parts include thinking about what period, location, weather, clothing, who is in power, and more. On top of giving sections to think about before moving too far into the writing process, Clark also gives examples for the writer to think about. This is written in a conversational form and allows one to read quickly. Also, because of the setup, it would be easy to go back and reference specific sections while writing. I thought this is a well-thought out handy book to keep if I ever start to write my historical novel.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Creatures of the Night is a new book by author CA King. I was excited to pick up a new book by this author because I always enjoy her storytelling. This book is set in a dystopian, science-fiction world. Zoe lives in a world that has been at war for generations fighting monsters and demons. She has been always been a fighter, but what does she do if falls for the enemy? Whom will she choose, the family she loves or for romance? I always enjoy books by this author. I tend to read straight through to the end and this was no exception. Zoe is a strong female questioning everything she has learned about herself and those they have been battling. I like that she has to face some internal issues and not just physical tests. I would like to know if we will get more from this world or if this will be a standalone book. There is a lot more that can be explored. I look forward to picking up more books from this author soon.

Streets of ShadowStreets of Shadow by Rebecca Bischoff
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Streets of Shadows is a YA historical fiction story set in 17th-century Scotland. I always look forward to reading a good historical fiction story, and this did not disappoint. Kenna wants to avenge the murder of her sister, but before she can, she is taken by a mysterious stranger. Locked away in the poorest slums of Edinburgh, she must find her way out and figure out who and what the players are in the situation. I enjoyed delving into some Scottish history and seeing a different viewpoint of the plague. Kenna is a well-developed character who kept me on the edge of my seat at times. There was a lot of development of the different characters and the setting and story. Even though there was a lot of detail to put you into the 17th century, it wasn’t so overdone, making the story drag. I hadn’t read this author before, but I will now look for other books by her. I look forward to passing this book on to my niece to read soon.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spirit Guide is the third book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries series. Let’s start by saying to read the first two books before grabbing this book. Madame Elinor Chalamet and the Duke of de Archambeau are trying to find a missing woman. Little do they know there is more involved than they realize. Chalamet has to go against an old nemesis, and Archambeau is right by her side. I really enjoy this series and the characters. Also, the slow-burn relationship brewing between Archambeau and Chalamet is growing. If you like historical fiction with a bit of supernatural, a spunky female lead, and a challenging male lead, this series is for you. I anxiously await the next book, but I will be thinking about what adventures Chalamet and Archambeau will be involved in next.

What I Wish I’d Known: For Writers is a collection of advice from 100 different authors. I found this to be an interesting read. Some information is relatively basic, but others bring up points less often considered. It was nice to see traditionally published authors while others are part of the independent publishing world. This book would be great for those considering writing a book or early in their publishing career. I appreciated the various points of view and how these seasoned authors approached their own writing and the advice they gave. I enjoyed this book and everything it contained.

Shameless Love: A Small Town Opposites Attract Romance is the second book in The Bennetts of Langston Falls series. Walt is the brother who is fierce and will do anything to take care of those he loves. Elyse is a television producer who is helping his sister Becky find more success. This is a definite opposites attract story with sultry flames attached. I was excited to learn more about Walt after his introduction in the first book of the series and was not disappointed. Also, this can easily be read as a standalone book (but read the first one). I enjoyed the character of Elyse and how she became involved with the Bennett family. The tension between Walt and her was great. I look forward to the next book in this series and getting to know the Bennett’s a bit more.

Straight for the Kill (Benoit and Dayne Mystery, #3)Straight for the Kill by Winter Austin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Straight for the Kill is the third book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series. This can easily be read without having read the first two books in the series. The author gives enough background, so I did not feel lost with the different characters or the situations that arose. I enjoyed reading about Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit and Deputy Detective Lila Dayne. This was an interesting mystery because it not only contained a case from 25 years in the past for the characters but also a current case. I liked how the cases were personal for Benoit and how smart and well-thought-out they worked the different cases. This book kept me reading, and I look forward to catching up in this series to learn more about Benoit and Dayne. If you like a good mystery and topical topics such as corruption in your mystery, this is a great book to grab.
