Gumshoe Goes To A Quinceanera (Gumshoe Mysteries Book 2) by Laura Hawks. I love this series. Its so fun and full of mystery and friends. Its the continuing story of Mia and her cat Gumshoe. It all begins when Mia and her friends are invited to their friend Tiffany’s Quinceanera. They are so excited and begin planning on what they are wanting to wear. While at the party someone is murdered and Mia and Gumshoe have to figure out who did it so Tiffany’s day won’t be spoiled. Since Gumshoe can be two places at one time being a ghost cat he listens to all the towns people when they don’t realize he’s there. Along with this and Mia’s witchy skills they work together to solve murders and they better get on it quick because there are more and more murders occurring. I do recommend reading the first book before this one to learn about all the characters. This is a fast paced young adult magical story!

I loved the first in this series. That said I did enjoy this one but not as much as the first. These are not stand alone in the sense that if you don’t read the first one you’ll miss a lot of details that help you understand more about Mia and Gumshoe. This story is still fun and entertaining, it didn’t hook me like the first one did.

I’ve never read Laura Hawks before. I am glad this was my first story by her. It definitely opened my eyes to her writing style. Gumshoe and The Mysterious Mushroom is the first in this mystery thriller series. A fun youth adult novel with paranormal ties. I can’t wait to read the second in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Be sure to read this series in order so you don’t miss the important groundwork laid in the first book. There will likely be a bit of confusion reading this out of order.

Another fun young adult read. This time, Mia and her friends are getting ready for a Quinceanera for Tiffany. As they are doing this, there is a man who is murdered and dumped into the nearby water hole. Mia, along with Gumshoes, help the police to solve the “whodunit” of this mystery.

I enjoyed this book but felt that it lacked some of the pizazz that attracted me to the first book. I would have liked to have seen more development of Mia’s newfound powers. I feel like it was glossed over in this one.

This was an enjoyable, and sometimes even funny, read. Mia has just turned 15 years old. She’s a sous chef at her parents’ restaurant. Once a week, she gets to plan the entire menu and this is the opening week. She come up with an extravagant menu, including a mushroom soup. Within a few hours, people are calling the restaurant to say they are sick. The calls get worse with more time passing.

A fun, entertaining, young adult read!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great YA read. I loved that it was written around the beautiful ceremony of the quinceanera. The tradition of the coming of age ceremony for Mexican American’s is such a special day, and thank goodness Mia was intent on making sure nothing spoiled her friend Zoey’s special day. Mia, a witch, and Gumshoe, a ghostly inhabited cat, work together to solve a murder mystery. Gumshoe has the advantage of being in places where he can hear the gossip of the town and nobody thinks twice. This story is full of action and twists and if you are into the paranormal – this is your read. I think this would be a good read-a-loud for parents of tweens, one you can do together.

I absolutely enjoyed this tale. Right as the book starts, it pulls you into the action and mystery regarding our hero Mia’s cat, Gumshoe, her familiar. I had not read book one prior to reading book two, but I felt like the author did enough of a recap, I was able to figure out what had happened in book two, without it feeling forced. I do definitely want to check out book one to see how it enhances this story. I thought the author tackled some really tough issues in this novel and again did it smoothly and in an engaging manner. I felt the story was fast paced, full of suspense and twists, and action. Mia was a great heroine who is working hard to help Gumshoe discover his past, finding herself and her path, all the while getting involved in mysteries and murder. I absolutely recommend this book for both teens and adults.

Gumshoe Goes To a Quinceanera is book 2 in the Gumshoe Mysteries and I loved this story. The magic is back with a murder mystery with Mia and the lovable Gumshoe the cat. This book was easy to read, fun and hard to put down…..I devoured this book! I would very highly recommend reading book 1 in the series as you get to know the characters from the beginning.

Mia and her “squad” were all invited to attend a Quinceanera for their friend Tiffany. Beautiful dresses, wonderful food, dancing and friendships should be the focus…but someone is murdered during this beautiful event. Who is bold enough to take a life during a Quinceanera? Mia and Gumshoe are piecing together clues on whom may be responsible for this act….but this is not the first murder on their minds as Gumshoe was a witness to another prior….are both of these murders tied to each other for some reasons? Will Gumshoe and Mia be able to solve the mystery before anyone else is hurt? Will Mia’s promise also to help Gumshoe piece together his own past life come with any clues..

Definitely read and find out. I am really hoping for another book in this series….

Wonderful YA cozy mystery that I enjoyed so much! This is my first book I have read by this author and I really loved this story. I love the mix of magic, mystery, murder, witches, secrets and intrigue. Already to dive into book 2….I am so glad I read this story….what a treat.

Mia is a typical 15 year old..or so she thinks. She finds out by her mother and a few of her mother’s friends, that she is a witch. This surprises Mia in so many ways and was eager to learn more what this really means but also finds a friend in a cat she has been feeding at her family’s restaurant. When Mia finds out that her feline friend is special, Mia and Gumshoe create this bond. Gumshoe has a story but trying to piece it all together on where he came from, Gumshoe and Mia work together to piece together his past life. While Mia helps at her family’s new restaurant, Forbidden Fruit, she eagerly waits on opening night to help out her father in the kitchen to help with a successful first night….but something horrible happens as patrons become sick at the end of the evening and even creates chaos as some patrons pass away. With her family name at stake and their new restaurant, Mia tries to find out whom may be responsible for these deaths that were caused by a very poisonous mushroom. Will Mia and Gumshoe be able to solve this mystery before more lives are lost? Will Gumshoe find out what happened with his past life?

Definitely read and find out! This is a great story..

Gumshoe Goes To A Quinceanera is the second book in the Gumshoe Mysteries Series and is a wonderfully written YA that will pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. This was the perfect book to read as the weather is cooling down. The characters are developed, creative and relatable. The storyline flowed so well there’s even a few twists that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure it out. I breezed right through it in on afternoon. Gumshoe is back at it again but this time she’s trying to solve the mystery before the fifteen-year-olds birthday party is ruined. Can they solve the mystery before it’s to late? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Wonderful book. I did not read the first book, and while I was able to follow along, I do recommend reading in order to meet all the characters. The relationship between Mia and Gumshoe is so fun to watch grow and the banter between them is entertaining. This is the first book I have read that even mentions a Quinceanera and I found that refreshing and a great way to introduce different customs and cultures to others. Following along with this duo to discover who the murderer is will leave you laughing, and anticipating what comes next. A truly fun and fast read for all.

Gumshoe goes to a Quinceanera
By: Laura Hawks

This is the second book in the Gumshoe Mysteries. I have read both and both are absolutely amazing. These are such a fun, cozy, YA mysteries that feature some paranormal activities. I definitely love that these books feature fantastic dialogue and a main character who is always finding herself in the middle of an adventure. One thing I will say is that Laura Hawks knows how to write a plot that keeps you guessing. I definitely loved the element of suspense that was found throughout. This was an absolutely fantastic book and I love how Laura Hawks has further developed both Mia and Gumshoe from the first book. I felt like there was more character depth in this book than in the first one. I definitely am looking forward to continuing this series!

Gumshoe and the mysterious mushrooms
By: Laura Hawks
This is a fantastic start to a new teen mystery series. It features Mia who is an absolutely amazingly well written character. She is intelligent and gifted. Gumshoe is not exactly who you would expect – he is a cat – who has an incredibly complicated past and a really fun sense of humor. These two have fantastic dialogue that drives the plot. Even though this is a teen book I found myself deeply enjoying the story. It is a great mystery that keeps you guessing but with characters that keep you laughing. It is truly a fun read that I will be recommending to everyone I know. I definitely cannot wait to read the next book in the series!

This book has everything. It is a young adult book, so teens are the main characters, aside from the title character. There is a quinceanera, so readers learn a bit about this special tradition for young Latina women. There are some serious issues that teens (and even adults, too) deal with. I really liked how the author handled this sensitive subject matter.

Gumshoe Goes To A Quinceanera is the second book in the Gumshoe Mysteries series. This YA story is fun and is an original storyline. The crazy talking cat with attitude is back and just as with the first book made the story it is a refreshing change of character that had me laughing out loud.

Mia attends her friends Quinceanera but nothing ever goes as it should. One murder turns into more and Mia and her familiar Gumshoe are drawn into a dark world where corruption and betrayal are the name of the game.

Once again Gumshoe the cat takes to the fore with his wicked sense of humour and crazy ways to help Mia uncover the plot of the murders taking place and unravel the mystery surrounding them.

I really enjoyed this fast-paced twisty action filled mystery and absolutely love Gumshoe as a character and his trusty partner Mia.

No matter your age Laura is a fantastic storyteller and definitely one author that should be on everyone’s TBR list.

I can’t wait to see what comes next in the series!

This series is a must read you WILL NOT be disappointed. Make sure to start with the first book Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms.

This is a story that is entertaining from start to finish. Read it to find out what happens.

Gumshoe Goes To A Quinceneara is the second book in the Gumshoe Mysteries series. It is a YA cozy mystery that continues with the adventures of Mia and her sidekick Gumshoe. If you have not yet read the first book, I highly recommend that you do. It introduces the characters of Mia and Gumshoe, gives their backstory, and how they met. This time around the two are trying to find a murderer before he ruins her friend Tiffany’s quinceneara. Mia and Gumshoe come face to face with the sinister world of corruption as they track the clues.

This was another great book in this series with a fast-paced and intriguing storyline. I fell in love with the characters of Mia and Gumshoe in the first book. I love the relationship that Mia and Gumshoe have and got a chuckle out of the banter between them. This book had action, mystery, murder, mayhem, magic, suspense, drama, and twists and turns that hook you until the end. I highly recommend this book!

Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms (Gumshoe Mysteries #1)Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms by Laura Hawks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gumshoe and the Mysterious Mushrooms is the first book in the Gumshoe Mysteries series. It is a YA cozy mystery for thirteen- to eighteen-year-olds. The story centers around the character of a young girl named Mia who discovers at the age of fifteen that not only is she a witch but that the stray cat she has been feeding behind her family restaurant is her familiar. The cat likes to be called Gumshoe because he recalls a former life where he was a Private Investigator, referred to as gumshoes in those days. Mia has always known that she can sense things before they happen but it all suddenly makes sense when she learns that she is a witch. When customers who ate at her parent’s restaurant suddenly become violently ill, Mia and Gumshoe set out to solve the mystery of the mushrooms that are reportedly the culprit. Danger lurks around every corner as Mia and Gumshoe start to unravel the mystery of who is responsible for the poisonings.

I loved this storyline and adored the characters of Mia and Gumshoe. Mia is smart, sweet, kind, and talented. She is a talented up and coming chef and loves cooking. Gumshoe makes for a perfect sidekick for Mia. He is clever, funny, wise-cracking, and as one would expect from a PI, he loves to drink and smoke. Together the two are unstoppable and able to crack the clues to solve the mystery. This book is a quick read and takes some twists and turns along the way. It has action, suspense, mystery, magic, familiars, and witty banter. I really enjoyed the ending where Mia helps Gumshoe remember more about his past. The recipes included at the end were a fantastic touch, thank you. I look forward to reading more by this author!

After enjoying the first book in the series so much I was looking forward to reading this one. It is a great follow up and was lovely to be reintroduced to the characters. This boon is a YA mystery story and although it is firmly aimed at a younger audience it is still another one I thoroughly enjoyed.
The story is well thought out and original. It has a mix of everything thrown in – mystery, Adventure, humour, Suspense. It easily draws you in keeps you excited for else might be to come. This is a great book.

Like my review of book 1 of Gumshoe Mysteries, I found this book to be better engaging for the middle grades crowd, instead of the targeted YA audience. I appreciated the insights to all the intricate components of a quinceanara, and thought Mia’s fears about school shootings were realistic yet poignant.

My favorite parts of the book, akin to book #1, was the banter between Mia and Gumshoe, and the words/phrases they use (and misunderstand each other) due to the centuries of age difference between the two. I eagerly await for book #3!

Although targeted to an older audience, to me, Gumshoe and the Mysterious Mushrooms is a perfect middle grade book, and explores how Mia gets to know her familiar, the cat Gumshoe, as she solves the mystery and saves her family’s restaurant.

The writing style is refreshing, and with the onset of kid cooking shows, I think this book would be a great hit with youngsters (as well as myself!). I can’t wait to read the second book in the series and find out what other mysteries this sleuthing pair can solve.

This is the second book in this series which is just as great as the first one and I look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I highly suggest reading the previous book in this series as well to help your enhancement of the characters and this author. Gumshoe is back in another great story with another mystery to solve. She is such a great character and I enjoy what she adds to the story. In this installment she finds herself trying to save a fifteen year old’s birthday party before it is ruined. A story that pulls you into the dark world of corruption. It has suspense and twists and turns you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed how I was pulled into the story from the start by the author’s use of details. There is great growth of the story throughout which makes it easy to read. This is an entertaining story that is fast paced and engaging. I look forward to seeing what happens with Gumshoe next. I highly recommend this book.

4.5 Stars

 

Gumshoe Goes to A Quinceanera is the second book in the Gumshoe Mysteries series by Laura Hawks. Having read and enjoyed several of Ms. Hawks’ books previously, there was no question that I would be passing this by when it released, as I knew it would be a fun read.
It is a YA cozy mystery, with paranormal elements, humour, banter, action, adventure, whimsy, secrets, corruption, friendship, and intrigue. The story was well woven, suspenseful, and entertaining- and even though it was a little predictable in parts and is targeted towards younger readers- I still really enjoyed it.
The characters are cleverly crafted into fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. The story is original, with a great pace and a smooth flow, making for an easy read.
As I have said before, Ms. Hawks always manages to intrigue me with her clever storylines, and this story was no different. I loved meeting Mia in the first book, and especially Gumshoe- who really steals the show, every time. So I was looking forward to catching up with them again and enjoyed following them along on this second adventure. Now I am forward to seeing what they get up to next.
Well worth the read!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Laura Hawks!

Another winner with this adventure for Mia & Gumshoe. Mia is trying to fulfill her promise to help Gumshoe find out what happened to his family. Along the way, another adventure involving a party. I just cannot put these books down. The last one (Gumshoe & The Mysterious Mushroom) and this one are sooo good that you want to read them in one sitting. They are entertaining. Gumshoe can only be understood by Mia. She has learned she is a witch and he is her familar. I laugh at their interactions. I have been reading this too my grandson and he has been chuckling too. He rarely laughs but he finds Gumshoe is funny. The cozies are perfect for the teen/young adult crowd. I’m an old lady and I love them too. I can’t wait for the next one.

Amy’s whole life has been turned upside down and she feels lost. Her friends have abandoned her and everything she thought she knew about herself, and her family turns out to be untrue. Not only does she discover who she “really” is, but she learns who her father is and that the mother she thought was dead is not actually dead. Problem is that her mom’s soul is trapped in an ethereal state and needs to be reattached to her body. Amy sets out to rescue her mom but needs someone of Pure-blood to power-share to bring her mom back. The only one with this ability is the enemy and Amy must make a deal with him if she wants to save her mother. Will the risk be worth it?

This book is the third book in the Descendants Series and jumps right into Amy’s story. Admittedly, I have not read the first two books, but it was easy to follow along without feeling like I missed anything. The characters are well written, and the scenes are written superbly. Amy is stronger than she thinks when faced with adversity and betrayal. Rather than give up after her whole world was turned topsy-turvy, she chose to stand up and face the challenges head-on. A fantastic read that is full of mystery, magic, action, suspense, drama, and adventure galore.
