Catching Christmas

My Rating: 3 stars

A short sweet enjoyable Christmas read. I enjoyed getting to know Callie, Finn and Sydney. I was pleasantly surprised that it is set in my hometown of St. Louis, that was probably my favorite element of the book. Its quick pace and switching back and forth between Sydney was a little much for me and I would liked a little more backstory on the characters but all in all I did enjoy the story. The ending was nice and believable and it’s perfect for a quick easy read over the holidays. I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher and was not required to post a review.

The Curse Of Misty Wayfair

My Rating 4 stars

This book was extremely intriguing. I have come to thoroughly enjoy Jamie Jo's dual time mysteries. They are original and fresh and unlike any other books I read which makes them so much fun. Her latest "The Curse Of Misty Wayfair" kept me guessing at the threads of the mystery during the entire book and even though I had my suspicions of how it would end, it kept me guessing till the end. I adored the character of Emma and I am mighty fond of Rhett(swooning shall commence here!) The story had several surprises and a few really creepy moments(reading at home while my kids slept and my hubby was at work really added to the dramatic effect!!) had me devouring this book. One for my keeper shelf!

Spellbinding Read!

My Rating: 5 stars

WOW! This book grabbed my attention from the very beginning and it NEVER let go. I loved the characters in this book from Kaley & Noah to Alex and Solomon. There were several surprises along the way and I loved the way Nancy seamlessly wove together a spellbinding story. This is my favorite Nancy Mehl book by a mile and I can't  wait for the next book in this series!

Slay In Character

My Rating: 5 Stars

A solid installment in the Cat Lattimer Cozy series. I thoroughly enjoyed this latest visit with Cat, Shauna, Seth, Uncle Pete and the new batch of guests attending Cat's writer's retreat. The mystery kept me entertained and I all but devoured this story in the course of an afternoon. This group of ladies attending this retreat were fun and likable even with their escapades in trying to solve the crimes happening in the story. This has definitely been my favorite Cat mystery thus far.

The Body In The Attic

My Rating: 3 stars

This cozy had a very intriguing premise and I was excited to read it. The mystery was good and kept me guessing. I liked the characters especially a cutie little dog named George. I didn't love this cozy but I enjoyed it and I would read another in this series.

In Too Deep

My Rating; 5 stars
Release Date November 6, 2018


AMAZING! This book was amazing. I read a LOT of Christian suspense/mystery books and "In Too Deep" was superb. I adored Sabrina and I really want to be a part of the gang's group of friends. I loved the humor element in the book, I laughed out loud multiple times, which was a great addition to the mystery and danger of the book. This had a great mystery and the character I suspected as one of the main bad guys was completely wrong, and with the amount of cozies and suspense books I read as well as the cop shows I watch that is HARD to do. I loved the first book in this series and now with this one, this series is safely my favorite suspense series ever. I need Gabe and Anissa's story NOW!

Favorite lines(some of them!):
"It's not that I'm not a morning person," Anissa said. "But no one is a four-hours of sleep person. I can't even pretend to be perky on anything less than five."

"We never ratted him out for being in love with Sabrina, did we?' Gabe laughed so hard he choked on his cookie. Anissa speared Ryan with her most disapproving look. Sabrina looked up from her laptop and shrugged. "You've already told me it was love at first sight, so this really isn't new information."

I received this book from the publisher and author in exchange for my honest review, which I have posted above. All thoughts are my own.

Yeast of Eden

My Rating: 5 stars
I very much enjoyed this latest installment of the Pancake mystery series, in fact I would say this is my favorite of the series so far. This story had a double mystery, the murder of the Waffle King as well as a historical family mystery in Marley's history. I loved the historical mystery addition. The killer was a surprise to me and that's hard to do. A great cozy mystery.
