Murder at the Majestic Hotel by Clara McKenna

I have read and reviewed the previous three books in the series on the blog earlier:#1,#2,#3 If you glance at my reviews of the first three books in the series, you will see how I persisted despite not being wowed by the first. I was rewarded for that continued interest with a very different series.There…

To Capture His Heart by Nancy Campbell Allen

I reviewed the previous book in the series here I read and reviewed the previous book in the series and had lukewarm reactions towards it. I decided to take a chance on the second without actually checking to see what this one was about. I am glad I took that plunge because this series jumps…

The Monsters We Defy by Leslye Penelope

This book was a highly immersive experience. The life of black citizens in Washington D.C. in 1925 is further complicated by something from the spirit world meddling in their affairs.

I like having to work a little initially to…

An Act of Foul Play by T E Kinsey

Narrated by : Elizabeth Knowelden I will link only the previous work: here . All my reviews for the series are linked on that post. I have listened to every book in this series, and I am extremely biased towards it. The author has not disappointed me yet! I begin with this exclamation for obvious…

A Bride’s Guide to Marriage and Murder by Dianne Freeman

I have read reviewed three books by the author previously I would not recommend this book to be the first you read in the series. I myself started from the second book, and that only left me a little out of the loop, but much has happened since then, and is the foundation that much…
