I love little stories like this. Perfectly snack sized and a great start for the morning.

This wasn't quite what I expected, but that isn't a bad thing. In a Dark Mirror is more psychological than anything else and I really enjoyed it.

Maddie and Lana are very interesting characters, both loveable and yet not. They definitely give mixed feelings but the author does well with that. I'm also a lover of mixed POVs and the way this switches back and forth was perfect for me and flowed well.

Definitely a good Spooktober read, especially for those who don't like scary but like a little creepy and eerie. I sincerely appreciate Lavender Public Relations and the author for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

Man oh man does this crew know how to find trouble

I've read other books by this author and enjoyed them so was excited to start a new series with a female lead. While, for the most part, I liked Merit she was also annoying. I could have done without her “cougar” references, and for me they didn't add anything to the story.

I did enjoy the legal aspects of this one but it didn't give me the thrill I was looking for. At times it felt like I was reading a textbook as it went into a lot of detail. I skipped over a lot of that.

The story itself was interesting and I liked the splashes of drama and danger that were thrown in. Overall, not a bad read but wasn't a favorite for me either.

This was a quick and enjoyable read. The story starts a tad slow, but picks up pretty quickly. The slower start is necessary to lay the groundwork for the adventures to come, so that didn't take any enjoyment away as a whole.

While a tad predictable and unbelievable in spots, this still made for a fun mystery with some thrills and chills thrown in. I haven't read a mystery before with the use of post-it notes as a means of communicating, and actually liked this part.

CJ is frustrating and loveable. I wanted to hug and smack him at the same time LOL. Also enjoyed his brother and hodgepodge crew. Together they mesh well.

All-in-all, this is a good one for those who like a mystery with a little razzle dazzle thrown in. The ending goes fast and the pages go flying by. Short chapters make this one easy to get lost in. This releases on August 1, 2024. Mark those calendars and enjoy the ride.

OK...just wow. What a refreshing and invigorating journey! It has been a while since I have been honored to read and review a book like this. I was captivated from beginning to end, and completely engrossed in the characters and the story.

The best part? The concentration on the characters, their growth as individuals and as a whole, and the the journey they share. I haven't read such a well-rounded book in a long time. I love that I not only got to travel along with the characters, but also got to share in their hurts, triumphs, grief and victories.

This was like sitting down with The Lord of the Rings, while drinking in some Narnia and adding just a splash of Harry Potter. My inner YA was definitely a happy camper.

I read all across the spectrum, but sometimes a break from romance-centered fantasy is needed. This definitely fits the bill for those who want the same, and want a story where the characters' journey, in all aspects, are the focal point.

I highly recommend this one, especially for readers who love action, adventure, found families, character growth and a darker undertone. Be ready for some tears too. There are a couple of parts ... let's just say my heart hurt and I needed tissue ... lots of tissue.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the author for reaching out and sharing this amazing journey with me. These opinions are strictly my own and have not been influenced in any way.

I love The Last Unicorn, although it's been years since I have actually read that. I also love the movie adaptation and have seen that many, many times. When I was invited to read an early copy of I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons, I jumped at the chance. I am glad I did, as this was an absolutely fun and charming read.

Some of the aspects in this one are on the darker side, and I enjoyed that part of it. The characters are wonderful, the writing is engaging, and the story is fun. This gave me The Princess Bride feels which was an added bonus.

I am so very thankful to Lavender Public Relations, and the publisher for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was a really fun read! I haven't enjoyed a mystery like this in a while. I love the author's humor, style of writing, and characters. While they were fun in the beginning, the footnotes did get a little tedious after a while. I'm just not a big fan of footnotes but I will admit these were very fun little add-ons.

While reading this one, it was reminiscent of Clue, at least for me. That was an added joy on top of everything else. This is definitely a good one for people who enjoy mysteries, but like a little humor and romance thrown in. Adding this one to my 2024 favorites.2024 favorites.

Love this format. Easy to pick up and finish while enjoying my morning coffee. The story is good too and has me engaged. Interested to see where this goes.

This isn't bad for a debut. Really more of a 3.5. Broken Bayou was easy to get lost in, and I really enjoyed the narrator which made this a pretty quick listen.

I will say that for me, I didn't like the main character all that much. For who she was professionally and who she was personally...I suppose I expected different behaviors but not THAT different. It didn't vibe for me. I also knew where this was going and who the killer would be. Despite all that, the story wasn't bad and I did enjoy how it played out. I would definitely pick up another book by this author.

Overall, I enjoyed the audiobook in it's entirety and would recommend this for fans of the genre. Thank you to Books Forward for the review copy. All opinions are my own.

Well this was not what I expected at all! Highly unbelievable BUT what a really fun read. This is why I enjoy fiction. Books like this allow me to get lost in a story of mystery, murder and good writing.

I was hooked after the first couple of chapters. Loved the characters and the flow. Easy to read and hard to put down. Highly recommend this one.

Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley! This was enjoyable and I am glad I got the chance to read and review this one.

This was a dark and enjoyable read. The ending leaves you on the hook and invested to continue the series. Really good one for Spooktober. Love the writing and the story. Fans who enjoy mild horror and darker read will enjoy this one.

I appreciate Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this one. All opinions are my own.

This was a very quick and easy read. While it is a quick one, I wouldn't classify this as a thriller. It felt more like a high school drama with cat fights and scenes of hissing and raised hunches. While not a bad read, it wasn't great either.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this one. All opinions are my own.

Predictable but definitely a fun read. Just what I needed.

More like a 3.5. The story was predictable, but fun. Made for an easy and enjoyable read.

Absolutely LOVE this one and being back on the darker side of things this time. New characters, new villains and all things awesome. This is the dark side of Crave and I am so here for it.

Thank you, thank you to the author and Entangled Teen for the review copy!! All opinions expressed are my own.

Now that's what I'm talking about! I can't believe I waited so long to pick this one up. It brought back all the love for Malice House and then some.

Midnight Showing is dark, tense, and thrilling. I really enjoyed where the author went with this one, especially between Haven and Kylie. The monsters are terrifying and I love it. Perfect for Spooktober!

Go grab Malice House and Midnight Showing and add them both to your TBR! I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was a breath of fresh air. After I started, I had a hard time putting this down and finished quickly. I love the Sci-Fi/Dystopian genre and The Oracus Test fit the bill for me. It's fast-paced, entertaining and has a good storyline. Love the characters too. Eagerly awaiting the next book.

This is a series I can get behind for sure. I cannot wait for the next installment as the ending has me on pins and needles lol

Man...this series keeps getting better and better.

This time around Simone is house sitting in a home with a history. She starts off with the intent to write part of her ancestors' history...and ends up in the middle of a dark mystery that will either bring light to what happened in that home, or be the mystery that ends her days.

Echoes of Ballard House is the perfect read for Spooktober or for anyone who loves a compelling ghost story. My favorite thing about this series is that each one so far, is more than just ghosts and the paranormal. It's history, family and all the drama that goes with.

This is a must read. I sincerely appreciate the author and Coffee and Thorn Books Tours for the review copy. I cannot wait for the next installment.

This was hard to read. I can't even imagine how much harder it was for this family to relive these moments as Meg researched and wrote this.

For anyone who has suffered with mental illness or know those who have, this would be worth reading. This family went through so much, before getting help was considered an option, but at the end of it all they had each...and hope.

I always enjoy a good horror story. Out There Screaming is perfect for reading in the dark early hours, sipping on a cup of coffee. The writing is good and the variety of stories is great. Perfect for any horror enthusiast.

Love, love, love Greek Mythology. Clytemnestra is an amazing, well-written account following a woman who, despite tragedy upon tragedy, stands strong and prevails.

This has everything I love with this type of book. Does Clytemnestra have everything she wants by the end? Not at all, but she does get what she desires most, and she always rewards those who are loyal to her...

Anyone who is a sucker for Greek Mythology should grab this and give it a read. I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

I read this while traveling and finished it quickly. While I was able to figure out some of the twists, there was one that surprised me. Very good, fast-paced mystery. Goes to show that not all friendships are what they seem and those who protect us may not always do so with good intentions.

I absolutely adore this series. I have been waiting and waiting for this installment and it did not disappoint. Another crazy adventure for Angela, the twins, Andres and the Silver Hair Gang. Grab this one if you love cozy mysteries with a twist. I am hoping there are more to come in the Cat Lady Series.
