Murder at the Pontchartrain by Kathleen Kaska My rating: 4 of 5 stars Very exciting and unexpected. I kept trying to figure out how everything was going fit together in the storyline but it actually worked and well. Kept me guessing and wondering what was going to happen next. There was a lot going on and you have to take your time reading or you will miss certain points that bring this story and ending together. There was so much going on it had my head spinning. I did enjoy the read and the ending was not what I was hoping for... View all my reviews

Vrooms, Brooms, & Heirlooms by Maddy Savanna My rating: 4 of 5 stars I thought this was slow at first but picked up after the first chapter. It was different and unexpected. I enjoyed the way the book characters came together and that the people are relatable even though they are of a different form. Love Victoria Fox the main character because like us all, she is still trying to find her place in the world. I don't think she will find it, I think it will find her.All she wants is to make her family business great because of the near ruin her Dad faced because of his business partner. Business is going well until there was a murder and her name shows up as number one suspect. Now no business and a chance at going to prison makes Victoria go searching for the real killer. It's the least expected person and they have a co conspirator that shocks them all. Yep, I think you will like this book.I also believe a romance is in the making and it's not with the male rival but someone else coming in play near the end of the book. I can hardly wait to read the next book to see if I am right or what. I really enjoyed this book. View all my reviews

Saving Meghan by D.J. Palmer My rating: 4 of 5 stars OMG, This was a emotional roller coaster read. I cried a couple of times, got mad and questioned myself throughout this book. This is was exciting and had a few twists that i didn't see coming. There is nothing worse when you question yourself and your sanity and this is exactly what the two main characters went through. What do you do when those you are supposed to trust betray you? AWESOME book and characters. They feed off of each other both good and bad. A must read. I wouldn't mind seeing this in a movie format. Hmm? View all my reviews

One Taste Too Many by Debra H. Goldstein My rating: 5 of 5 stars What an awesome start to a new series. There was everything in this. The main character Sarah Blair is someone that most of us can relate to and her little Rah Rah. There was a point in the story that made me upset and it has to do with greed and a feline. Don't want to give out too much information but if you are into cozy mysteries, you most definitely need to read this. There are spins and twist into this that you won't see coming and you won't want to put it down because you have to know soon where all this is going to lead. I didn't want to put it down put of course life gets in the way of my reading. Ready for a book hangover? Then read this. Oh and an added perk a couple of recipes. View all my reviews

Cocoa and Chanel by Donna Joy Usher My rating: 5 of 5 stars A funny and exciting book a lot of colorful characters. I loved the main character, she's smart but sometimes stupid. This story is also great in the fact that what you know and see in someone isn't necessarily the whole picture. My heart went out to this clumsy but well meaning character. This is an awesome start to a new series. I am looking forward to the other books in this series. View all my reviews

An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks My rating: 4 of 5 stars Just wow. I started to give this a 5 stars but didn't really like the ending. I would hope that after what Jess went through she wouldn't resort to such methods. Anyway an amazing read. A true psychological thriller and one you won't want to put down until the end. This story has more twists and turns than a tornado. These women are amazing authors View all my reviews

The Tiger’s Tale: Undercover Cat Series, Book 3 by Kelle Z. Riley My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a really good book. Even though it's third in the series, it filled me in a little about the first two so didn't seem like I missed a lot. It did peak my interest in the first two so I will be reading those as well. This book was exciting and interesting. I haven't quite read one quite like it and that's great. It was different. It showed many sides of the character and made her complex. Honestly I didn't think I would like it as well as I did. I am so glad I decided to read this. Another great series on my TBR list. It goes to show you once you open that cover you never know what's on the other side until you dig in. If you like excitement, mystery, chemistry and a bevy of animals, this is for you. Kelle Z Riley just made my list of fav authors. View all my reviews

Book Love by Debbie Tung My rating: 5 of 5 stars A bool all book lovers should read. I can see myself in almost all the pages of this book. It's funny and so true of bool lovers. I hope that a hard back of this book will be available because I would buy it. Just loved this book View all my reviews

Read and Gone by Allison Brook My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have not read the first book in this series and reading this second one I didn't feel like I had missed anything. I Absolutely loved this book. It was fun, fresh and fascinating. I did not want to stop reading it to see who dun it. I really liked the main character, Carrie because she is someone people can relate to and her little feline friend, Smokey Joe. I will be reading the first in this series, it was that good. I love the ghostly element to the book and the ghost is lovable and kind. Just when you think you figured it out, you are thrown a curve ball. There are a couple of cozy mystery series I love and this is right there at the top with them and I love the cozy mysteries genre. I think anyone who love Cozies will enjoy this book as much as I have. This has it all murder, romance, intrigue, haunting and a side order of love of family. View all my reviews

Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage My rating: 4 of 5 stars Wow, just pure evil. I thought after a few chapters in I was going to have to have someone perform and exorcism on this book it was that demonic. The first few chapters were kinda slow but picked up and got better as it went along. This was on of those books that mess with your mind. It's in our nature to love and care for all children and to only see the good in them but this book totally goes against the laws of nature. It made the mother in me feel guilty for hating a child so much. This is one of those books that I didn't really like any of the characters except for bad tooth woman and the therapist.Both parents seemed self involved and worried too much about having the perfect everything. They seemed to hide from the realities of life. The child is extremely bright and genus and the plotting goes well beyond her years but that is why I call her genus. I can feel the mothers pain and hopelessness when she tries to tell husband what is going on and he just doesn't believe her because the child is good as gold when he is around. I tell ya, this would make you change your mind about having kids. Perfect plotting and well written devious plans by the author. Kudos in giving me the heebie jeebies, a true devils spawn.

The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks My rating: 5 of 5 stars An absolutely amazing book. So many twists and turns it will make your head spin.

A Cajun Christmas Killing by Ellen Byron My rating: 5 of 5 stars Oh my what an awesome read. Ellen Byron is a new author for me. This was an exciting and fun read, a lot of twist and turns that left me guessing. I haven't given a 5 star review in a while, that's how good this book is. Although this is the third book in the Cajun Country Mystery it makes for a good stand alone. I liked this book so much that I am looking forward to reading the first and second in this series.Love the characters and the charm this book exudes, it was interesting and kept me riveted until the last page. The plot was different than most cozies, it was a puzzle, a true who dunnit. View all my reviews

Cat Got Your Secrets by Julie Chase My rating: 4 of 5 stars This series gets better and better. The characters are easy to relate to and they are funny. I can actually picture what everyone looks like. I like Julie Chase's series, "Kitty Couture Mystery" and I am looking for the next installment. I love the fact that the story flows easily and you have a Mystery within a mystery. This time Lacy's father is accused and she will do anything and pay anything to find the real killer to prove her father's innocents. This time the price may just be her life. View all my reviews

A Whistling Woman by Louise Shivers My rating: 4 of 5 stars It took me a while to read this book. I would start it and put it back down. i just couldn't get interested in it.

Surprising twist and turns, although it started slow, I gave it a four because the rest of the book was just amazing. View all my reviews
