Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Book 2) by Byrd Nash – Review by Vanessa Watts

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #2)Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I came across this book first and started reading it before realizing that this was book 2 in a series. From there I had to find book one just to read to see how my thoughts might be swayed and the impact it has on understanding the second book. Even though I did it backwards I was still able to follow the storyline and the author does a wonderful job with looping you in.

Elinor, our female medium, is a witty, take no prisoners type of person and definitely not one to let society tell her what she must do. So when she gets an invite to a royal feast she must accept after all she also loves to eat. Throw in an attempted murder, a ghost stalking her favorite chef, and the romantic tension between Elinor and Duke Tristan you have a witty masterpiece that anyone would fall in love with. Who will solve this dastardly royal murder attempt or will they end up in the crosshairs of the perpetrator?

This was a witty, humorous paranormal mystery read that will keep you flipping pages just to find out what happens next. Now onto downloading the others in this series so I can see what happens next.

And Then She Fell by Dreena Collins Review by Vanessa Watts

And Then She FellAnd Then She Fell by Dreena Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was definitely a thrill ride from start to finish. I enjoyed the fact that there were so many possibilities on how the death occurred and each one was just as plausible as the last. It kept me guessing as to who might have played a role in Susie’s “accidental” death.

Catherine is a mom on a search for answers into what really happened to her daughter Susie the day she dies. For her, something never felt quite right about the circumstances and needing to find closure the truth is important to her. Unfortunately, the more she digs in the more she realizes that she didn’t really know who Susie became or the kind of person she was. With ten possible scenarios on who was involved and how the accident happened will Catherine ever finally uncover the truth? Or is the truth best left alone before something else sinister happens?

Each scenario had me doubting who could have played a role in Susie’s death. And the fact that the more Catherine learned about Susie the less she knew about her daughter and the woman she had become. The end really threw me for a loop and I was shocked at just how everything played out. If you like psychological thrillers then definitely give this one a try, it is a well written masterpiece.
