Who doesn't love a story about demons running amok in a city?! Pippa DaCosta has brought a fascinating cast of characters to sizzling life in the city of Boston, with Beyond the Veil. Follow Muse, a half-demon, as she tries to outwit and survive her full demon brother, a Prince of Hell and a mystery man who gives her the cold shoulder! This was great fun!
WOW! The twist ending make me choke! It's been a long time sine I've had a physical reaction to a twist in a story! Ellis' anti-hero, Jason Kolarich is having a REALLY shitting couple of weeks in The Hidden Man. Not waning to accidentally give any spoilers, makes describing plot points a wee bit difficult, suffice it to say, this is one of those books you should set aside a chunk of tme for, because you are going to find it very difficult to put down! A stunning thriller!
Another adventure for Hester and another set of twists and turns that will give the reader whiplash. What I so love about the Hester series, is that Hester is such an unlikely protagonist! She is not what she appears to be on the surface, she never does what one would expect a person do in the situations she's in, she's just one fantastic surprise after another. In the Missing Ones, Hester finds herself on an island off the coast of Maine which is experiencing a rash of missing children, but they aren't the only Missing Ones in this brilliantly plotted thriller! Can't thank Mystery Scene Magazine enough for turning me on to Mr. Hill's books!!!!!!
Not going to lie, this one was rough to read. It's claustrophobic, it's uncomfortable, it's infuriating, and it's oh so engaging. As angry as it will make you, you still won't be ale to tear yourself away from this psychological thriller. I don't want to give anything away, so plot points won't be mentioned. Suffice it to say that Will Dean has a a massive talent and this book will linger with the reader for a long time!
What a delightful surprise! A Study in Stone was not what I had expected..not a mystery with a fresh murder and an investigation. This brilliant story was a mystery of the historical kind, which is one of my favs! The hunt for a good cup of coffee leads Dan and his neighbor Alan on a trek through the past to discover what happened to a local man 100 years ago. Containing many of the twists and turns you'd expect in a traditional mystery and a very satisfying conclusion would make this a great read on their own, but add to it, the Frick & Frack type relationship of Dan an Alan, and you get an exceptional read!
Sometimes, when you get a freebie kindle book, you get a typo-ridden, poorly written, story that reads like a 6th grade term paper. And sometimes you get a gem! Blake Pierce's If She Knew is an absolute gem of a thriller! Kate Wise, a recently retired, storied FBI Agent, comes out of retirement to solve a recent rash of murders in an exclusive neighborhood, while trying to figure out her life and navigate being a newly minted Grandmother. Taut action, real suspense, twists and great characters make this a spectacular read!
This was a bit of an odd read. I was expecting a cozy series, and these 3 very short books felt more like chapters from a longer story. None of the books had a major mystery in them, and some plot points were left dangling. These could have been combined into a longer book that would have more of a hard boiled PI vibe than a cozy. With all that said, I did enjoy reading them, and the characters were well drawn. These just left me wanting more.
Ali Sweet has had it, and when she loses it and gets her self fired, it opens up the possibility of pursuing her dream. She should have been more careful with what she wished for! In opening her dream bakery, she gets a lot more than she bargained for. It's not long before she finds her self the main suspect in a murder investigation. Join Ali, a stray dog, a hot Australian surfer, and whole cast of quirky characters in this funny and charming cozy series, you'll be glad you did!
This read was so much fun! A touch of whimsy, a hint of the fantastical and a whole lot of sass, make Sunny Meadows a perfect Cozy character. This well plotted mystery has plenty of red herrings to keep the reader guessing and plenty of laughs to keep the reader amused. Just an absolute delight to read!
Another glorious week on the Cape for Mac and her Book Club, and another murder! With Mac's best friend, Gin at the top of the suspect list, Mac's life gets more complicated. Add to that troubles in her relationship and a pet parrot who won't stop sopping through Alexa, and you have a tension filled week for the Cozy Capers!
This was not what I was expecting at all! I thought this was going to be some tongue in cheek,s elf help type book, and it is so not that! This is a lovingly crafted, in depth look at actual life lessons that can be gleaned from episodes of The Twilight Zone. Written with great knowledge and reverence for the genius that is Rod Serling, this fantastic book will delight fans of the TV series, fan of Mark Dawidziak and anyone who just likes a well told story!
Simply a delightful romp through the life and mind of a delightful human being!
This is so well plotted and the characters are exceedingly well drawn, that you just can't help but be sucked into the story. A converted lighthouse, freshly baked goodies, a ginormous dog, a couple of of guys, a bit of a ghost story, and a mystery (or two) to solve, all baked to perfection! This is an exceptional start to what promises to be a fun series!
