First off a big thank you to Bookouture , the author Carolyn Arnold , and to NetGalley for once again letting me go on with this series , I can't believe  we'er already on book 15 , but here's why I keep coming  back to reading more of it  Suspense full from the very start and stays that way all the way though the book. And with each turn of the page the atmosphere keeps getting instant because you don't know what going to happen next , and mixed with the creepy vibe you get ,this book is perfect to read when all you can do is stay in side .

Preparing the empty house for another viewing, she knows she’s taking a risk showing it at night. She never told anyone she was here, but she desperately needs this sale. If she pulls it off, she can finally give her daughter the life she deserves. But as she climbs the stairs, goosebumps spread down her arms. She’s not alone…

When the body of realtor Christine Lane is discovered in one of Woodbridge’s most affluent homes, Detective Amanda Steele is left reeling. The victim was dating Amanda’s half-brother, making him an immediate suspect. They’ve never been close but Amanda knows he’s not a killer.

As forensics move in to process the crime scene, Amanda is ambushed by a well-dressed woman desperately trying to get inside the house. Dominique Sharp is a successful lawyer and expected her house to be sold by the time she returned from a business trip to DC. Could she have been the intended target?

Delving into Dominique’s business, Amanda and Trent discover a long line of disgruntled employees and a dark web of secrets that lead them to a killer who will stop at nothing to get their deadly revenge on her.

First off a big thank you to the publisher Bookouture, the author Harper Graham, and to Netgalley, for letting me continue on with my vist to the small town Maple Falls because in this one we get to see the coming together of our 2 main characters Zoe and Jackson ( brother to our main male character in book 2 ) , plus we get to go along with them as they go on a treasure hunt to look for a flower that may or may not exist anymore around their town. Thus book was humorous and had the right amount of spice in it , and let's not forget the choas that Zoe's mother caused, as well as choas that happened when ever Zoe and Jackson was together. Plus I loved the fact that Jackson loved Zoe for who she was even if at times she was a bit chaotic and that made me me laugh and smile because he didn't want to change her in anyway .

Their relationship is fake… The chemistry is not!

A small-town girl with the coziest flower shop and a secret crush. A dark, rugged veteran with scars only she can see. Could fake dating turn into happily ever after? Gilmore Girls + spice = 🔥

🪴☕✨

Zoe Hart is right where she belongs: in the small town of Maple Falls, running her snug flower shop filled with the scent of rain-soaked earth, dried herbs, and spiced tea. But her oldest friend (and secret crush) Jackson is back too. And most of all, she longs to be in his strong arms. So when her hopelessly romantic mom bets on them being Maple Falls’ Couple of the Year, Zoe finds herself fake-dating the friend-zoned guy she’s always wanted…

When Jackson returns from military service, even working on his llama sanctuary can’t heal him. But Zoe is the only person who can truly make him smile. He’d do anything for her… even pretend to be dating. There’s nothing fake about his feelings as he crushes his lips to hers. But there’s no way she’d really want a broken man like him, would she?

All eyes are on them as the town prepares to vote for Couple of the Year. But when they discover a grove carpeted with long-lost flowers that shimmer like moonlight, real sparks fly. Will their make-believe romance bloom into true love forever?

Snuggle in with a steaming mug and a novel that feels like a hug on a crisp day. This cozy small-town romance is brimming with steamy romance and heart-warming, feel-good charm. Perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls, Laurie Gilmore, Emily Henry, and all things cozy + spicy.

Would I recommend this series? Yes

Would I recommend this author? Yes

First off big thank to the publisher Second Sky, the author Luanne Bennett, 

as well as to Netgalley for letting me continue on with this series, and to my friend Alexis who has been doing a buddy read with me of this series since the very first book. I can't believe we're on book 5 already and have only one more to go before we say goodbye to these characters but that where re reads coming . What can I say about this book but that it had me laughing on moment, and screaming the next , and getting so mad at some of my favorite characters ( and yes I mean you Dog as well as you Samuel), and let's not talk about how much I dislike dog's girlfriend and the trouble she bought, and that other alpha, his definitely not a character you can love, there was so much more non stop action though out this one that I didn't want to put it but that true about the the other four books because once you start reading them you can't stop . 

Fire leaps from shops and homes all over town. Crimson is at war. And I’m the only one who can put out the flames.

When my friend Dog claimed a female from the brutal northern pack as his mate, he started a war.

I was furious with Dog at first. Then the northern wolves tried to destroy my bar in retaliation. This is my fight now, whether I like it or not.

To defeat them, we’ll need everyone in Crimson to stand side by side—vampires, wolves, and witches.

But the witches are distracted—struggling to contain an ancient evil hidden in their Victorian mansion. And the most powerful vampire in town won’t help me without a very good reason.

It will take more than magic to bring us all together. Can I protect my friends and unite the town, before Crimson is torn apart?

Perfect for fans of Kim Richardson, Charlaine Harris, and Patricia Briggs, the Charley Underwood series is a thrilling urban fantasy adventure packed with danger, magic, found family, and twisting standalone mysteries.

Buddy Read with : Alexis and Carissa.Ann

First off a big thanks to Hachette Audio for sending me the redeem code for it though play books , as well as thanks to Alexis and Carissa.Ann for doing this as a buddy read this month with me , because other wise it might have been a little while before I got to it. Not because it's nonfiction, but because if you know me you know that I tend to stay away from anything that deals with politics , I don't even watch about on TV or read about in any forum so this type of book was out of my comfort zone, but it was also part of our history I had no idea about and that I do like learning about. So you could say I was going into this book 100% blind. Which might be a good thing but at this moment looking back I'm glad I didn't know anything about what happened. And here's why : I was raised that you respect law officials and how they go out each and every day and risk their lives to protect people but as soon as I started this book and realized what the now president did back in 2021 , it upset me , and the only question that came to my mind was how can someone who says his for the people , send a group of crazies to storm the Capital without giving any thought to the men and women who police officers there , because though out this book you hear the text message he posted and not once did send out any concern or consideration for their safety, it wasn't until much later in the day that he finally did that and by then it was to late . With that thought in my mind ,maybe this wasn't the right book for ,but  it's still part of our history that need to be known, and I do have to say that the author and the others Mary Clare Jalonick, Lisa Flanagan, Soneela Nankani, Timothy Andrés Pabon​, Leon Nixon and Arthur Morey do bring the story to life , and the PDF especially helps with at. Also I want to say  that police officers who was there will all ways be in our hearts as well their families.

Would I recommend it? Yes

Would I read more by this author ? Yes 

First off a big thank you to the publisher Bookouture, to the author Helen Phifer, as well as to Netgalley, for the invite to read book 17 of this series. Because reading this one has reminded me that even though I've missed quite a few of the books in this series ,there is a reason as to why I've read the few i have read and it's because of the characters, and the way the story keeps surprising you even when you think you have it figured out .

Thunder rattles the windows of the deserted hotel. Morgan spots the young girl on the floor, her dark hair fanned out and covered in shattered glass. Lightning strikes, illuminating the blood on every surface.

Following an emergency call in the middle of a fierce storm, Detective Morgan Brookes arrives at Keswick Manor, a crumbling, empty hotel in the Lake District, where she finds the dead body of a young woman. She recognises her bright blue eyes instantly. Lauren Williams’ body is still warm to the touch, a knife protruding out of her chest, just like the one that killed her sister, Lydia, one month ago. But the killer in that case is dead…

Morgan can’t imagine the horror Lauren went through as she combs the scene; a broken radio on the stairs suggest she was running from someone. Lauren knew her sister was murdered, did she know she was next? Grief-stricken, Morgan sets to work on Lydia’s case files and refuses to sleep until she’s uncovered any small clue she missed. But by the time she discovers they had another sister, the poor girl is reported missing, her pink car found abandoned in the local woods surrounded by overgrown brambles.

When Morgan spots a police identification number scribbled in the family’s old police files, she realises that one of her colleagues has been lying to her. The idea that someone at HQ is in league with a serial killer would send terrifying shockwaves through Rydal Falls, but Morgan can think of no other explanation. Can she save the final sister and catch this killer as a terrifying countdown begins? Or with evil closer than she thinks, watching Morgan’s every move, is she already in too much danger?

Now On to my thoughts :First off a big thank you to the publisher Second Sky , the author Kathryn Ann Kingsley , and to Netgalley for letting me read book 2 in the Bloodlines . All I can say is that I didn't think it would be able to top the first book but it did. Just by the story line itself as well as the world building became even more real, and the tension between our main characters also became more real to the point you was shout at them ,you together belong together.

To destroy the vampires who killed her family… She must become one of them.

Nadi is trapped in a deadly alliance with Raziel Nostrom. After a honeymoon soaked in blood and desire, they make a pact—to take down his criminal family together.

Now Nadi is at the heart of the Nostrom empire, pretending to be a vampire. If her act slips even for a moment, they will tear her apart.

Raziel holds Nadi’s life in his hands. And her heart… His wicked smile sets her body aflame, drawing her closer and closer. Still, he is a born killer—alluring and utterly ruthless. He could turn on her in an instant.

But Raziel is not the only one in his family with a taste for betrayal…

When his brother and sister approach her with proposals of their own, Nadi faces a desperate choice. Will she stand by Raziel, as the world turns against him? Or seize the perfect chance to destroy his family forever?

Would I read more of this author? Yes 

Now on to my thoughts: 

First off a big thank you to the publisher Bookouture,  the author Stacy Green, and to Netgalley, for letting me continue on with the Nikki Hunt series , because without them I would probably never have discovered it in the frist place which is sad to think of because one of the  things I absolutely love about this series besides the main character, is the atmosphere of the book, how your pulled into the story right away, and how the twist and turns keep you guessing with each turn of the page .

The girl’s heart races as she edges towards the bright yellow farmhouse where children’s toys lie carelessly in the overgrown grass. The air is too still. On the front porch, a woman takes her last breath and crumples to the ground…

Special Agent Nikki Hunt feels her chest tighten as she looks down at the body sprawled beside the lilac bushes. This morning, her ten-year-old daughter Lacey witnessed the murder of local mother Elle Harper. Out riding her bike, Lacey saw the killer escape from the house and rushed inside to protect Elle’s daughters Maisy and Maya.

Nikki promises Lacey she’ll do whatever it takes to help the poor innocent girls who now sit in her house clutching their teddies. But before she has a chance to return them to the safety of their stepfather Tim, he’s reported missing. Local gossip suggests that fights between Elle and Tim had been spilling out of the farmhouse, and Nikki soon wonders if Maisy and Maya were ever safe in their own home.

But just as Nikki zones in on her suspect, she realizes she’s too late. A body is pulled from the river, and Nikki’s heart shatters as Tim is pronounced dead. Nikki’s gut tells her that someone is targeting the whole family. But with this killer stalking her in the shadows, what sacrifices will she have to make to save them, and keep her promise to her daughter?
