#Review #GrimReaper – Dating to Die For by Adam Gaffen

Leave a comment

Swiping right shouldn’t lead to death—or a job offer from Hell.

Lila Martin never expected to die on a first date.

After a string of failed relationships, she reluctantly gives the Flare dating app one last shot—only to match with Ethan, a man who seems too good to be true. And he is. Because Ethan isn’t just charming—he’s a Grim Reaper. Worse, Lila is his next scheduled collection.

But instead of reaping her soul, Ethan offers her a choice: die as scheduled, or become a reaper herself. Faced with literal death—or an afterlife filled with bureaucratic nightmares and scythe-wielding incompetence—Lila begrudgingly joins the underworld’s least-efficient workforce.

Assigned to a new, unconventional reaping program, Lila must use the Flare app to guide soon-to-be-dead souls to their final destinations. But there’s a catch—if she and her assigned match fall in love within 72 hours, she could reclaim her life. Enter Daniel: handsome, kind, and utterly clueless that their dates are anything but ordinary.

As Lila wrestles with the ethics of supernatural speed-dating, her growing feelings for Daniel, and the ever-present risk of the underworld’s merciless HR department, she starts to wonder—can love really cheat death? And if it can… should it?

Blending The Good Place‘s irreverent take on the afterlife with The Dead Romantics‘s emotional depth, Dating to Die For is a darkly comedic, high-stakes romance about love, fate, and finding yourself—even after death.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

First dates can be hard. Especially when you are scheduled to die. But when given the oddest opportunity to either die or become a reaper, the obvious choice is to be a reaper. I thought the concept was quirky and funny. I love a good paranormal and why not reaping? It was easy to fall into the plot and I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between Lila and “Grandpa” Ethan. Then when Heath, the Death Ledger, starts his crazy nonsense, I just couldn’t wait to see what else he was going to say to her! Lila is really getting good at her job and feels like she is doing some good. She feels good helping souls transition. However, when she has to collect her old crush, Daniel’s, soul, she wants to invoke the Love Clause. Watching this unfold is absolutely hilarious! Sweet, but hilarious.

I think I felt like I was missing a bit more interaction with Ethan during her interactions with Daniel. Ethan just disappeared and it felt a bit off. It didn’t make or break the story for me but I would have liked a bit more. I really enjoyed her friend Mia and her dog Charlie. They were awesome too. All of the characters played significant roles in the story and it ended up be a super sweet but incredibly funny story.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

This is a fun and easy read with just the right amount of mystery with love connections. I love when you get a story that has paranormals that you are not normally used to and this story has them all! Mermaids, witches, sasquatches, unicorns, to a sphinx! I mean it literally had paranormals from all walks of life. If this was real, I could absolutely see the appeal of working at this resort. Since it is not real, I will settle for reading the series, LOL! Destiny just wants to work and be left alone. She loves her job but her boss is an epic…well, no one likes him. All of a sudden her boss drops dead, on her shift! AND SHE HAS TO CLEAN UP THE MESS!  How much worse could it get? Yeah, she is being blamed for his murder. She has so many allies but the paranormal community does things a lot different than humans and they hand out the punishments quick and swift. Time is running out for her. Her friends, ex, brother, and potential new love interest all work together and end up making things work out. All of the characters really make this story great. I look forward to continuing the series.

I was born and raised in the South and even hung my motorcycle helmet in Colorado for a few months. I’ve always had a touch of wanderlust and have never feared just packing up and going on new adventures, whether in real life or via the pages of a great book.

I didn’t want to grow up to be a writer—I wanted to raise unicorns and be a superhero. When those gigs fell through, I chose the next best thing: creating my own magical lands filled with adventure, magic, and humor.

I live in Florida with my two dogs and when I’m not writing or reading, I’m racing motorcycles, hanging out at the beach, or binge-watching anything magical on Netflix.

#Review #Audiobook – License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy: New Orleans Nocturnes, Book 1 by Carrie Pulkinen

Leave a comment

A laugh-out-loud funny paranormal romantic comedy featuring accidental fated mates, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, and a cast of quirky characters…all set in vibrant, chaotic New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

It’s all fun and games…until someone wakes up dead.

Governor’s daughter Jane Anderson is used to getting what she wants. When a girls’ trip to Mardi Gras thrusts her into the arms—and fangs—of New Orleans’ hottest vampire, he gifts her with immortality, super strength, and a complexion to die for.

There’s only one tiny problem. Jane faints at the sight of blood.

When Ethan Devereaux meets Jane, his cold, lifeless heart learns to beat again. Convinced she’s his late fiancée reincarnated, he turns her, claiming her as his own. But when Jane wakes up dead in Ethan’s attic, she’s loud, sassy, and downright ornery. He doesn’t know if he should kiss her or stake her, but one thing’s for certain…

She is so not his long-lost love.

But Ethan turned her, so he’s stuck with the chaotic glitter bomb of a fledgling, whether he likes it or not. Jane has three weeks to learn the ways of the vampire and get her license, or she’ll be staked. If Ethan can’t help her overcome her aversion to blood, his undead life might also be on the line.

License to Bite is the first book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series, filled with supernatural shenanigans, witty banter, campy humor, and a vampire who faints at the sight of blood.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Frightfully fun! Jane has come to New Orleans for her travel blog. She is truly the glitter bomb that the blurb describes her as. She is not used to sitting still or keeping quiet. No one tells Jane Anderson what to do. Ethan is a broody vamp, just sick and tired of the mundane. He is just here. Then he sees Jane and he knows Jane is his dead fiancé reincarnated. Jane almost dies and Ethan “saves” her by turning her into a vampire. Jane ends up loving being a vampire but CANNOT stand the sight of blood and refuses to learn to feed. She has to learn and get her biting license or end up staked. Ethan, the rule follower, is constantly on edge with Jane and most of the time doesn’t know what to do with her. Jane, however, is shaking things up, speaking out of line, refusing to learn to feed, etc. Jane is finally growing on Ethan. I honestly think she would get under anyone’s skin. It was a fun, quick-paced story that I listened to in one sitting. I recommend and look forward to the next.

#Review #Audiobook – My Pigeon Familiar: A humorous cozy fantasy (The Magical Misfits Book 1) by Bridget E. Baker

Leave a comment

Six supernatural besties fighting their fates in NYC: A witch whose spells misfire, a wizard who keeps falling for the wrong species, a vampire who longs to be adored, a dragon shifter who can’t shift, a werewolf without a pack, and a demon-spawn bent on being good…

Minerva Lucent has always wanted to be just like her late father: a guardian, defender of NYC from the demonic threat. She’s spent her whole life trying to secure a spot, but so far, she’s still stuck as a magical beat cop. It’s not that she hates cleaning up after the boozy vampires and miscreant werewolves.

It’s just not inspiring.

But when the guardian she’s crushed on for years spills about a rare opening on their force, she resolves to do anything she can to snag it for herself. If that means she has to rally her friends and do something a little crazy, well.

She’s prepared to do anything.

Including blowing all her savings on an exotic fire lizard egg she hopes to bond. As usual, her plans misfire in a big way, and she winds up bonding a flying rat—the last creature anyone in NYC would ever want as a familiar. What’s worse, Giggles the pigeon won’t stay in her cage. When Minerva’s bestie from high school shows up in dire straits, a choice must be made. Will she secure her promotion or save her friend from an unwanted marriage?

Publisher’s Weekly saidMy Pigeon Familiar is, “a delightful, character-driven fantasy novel about a group of supernatural friends helping to prevent an unwanted wedding, and it will no doubt bewitch readers with its entrancing plot and relatable cast.”

**This title was initially published as Mates: Minerva! Other than the title and cover, it is exactly the same. Do not re-purchase accidentally!

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I read the blurb and was instantly drawn in. I had to read the story about Minerva and figure out why on Earthy she bonded to a pigeon as a familiar. I mean, anyone that has read anything paranormal or supernatural knows that this is completely out of the ordinary. Now, I didn’t READ the book, I listened to the audiobook. When the story begins, you feel like you are in a supernatural version of the television show, FRIENDS. That was pretty cool as it sets the series up to include all of the characters. I assumed that this book would focus on Minerva and her pigeon familiar. I did not expect that this would have multiple narrators, one for each character, or that the story was being told from each character’s point of view. That was a bit confusing for me. This story wasn’t just Minerva’s story, but it was a little bit about all of the characters. By the time I was getting the hang of each narrator’s voice for each character, the story ended….with a cliffhanger. I have a lot of mixed feelings about the story because of this. I want to know more but also had to put in a lot of effort to enjoy it. I think there is a lot of potential with this story and am planning to  give the second story a try.

 

Bridget E. Baker profile image

Bridget won her first writing contest in first grade with a story about a day in the life of a little spot of air. (Who says you need a good hook?)

She hasn’t stopped writing (or talking) since then, although she was briefly derailed by her pursuit of a legal career. Ultimately, boring words, well, bored her. She quit her job to spend less time counting gobs of ill gotten gains, and more time writing stories.

She loves her husband and all five of her kids (most days). She has two yappy dogs and a bouncy dog, five goofy horses, lions head rabbits, more chickens than she will admit to having, and two demanding cats. Every day is a battle between playing with kids, riding her horse Leo, and writing. (Plus, now she’s homeschooling the two youngest children…) If her publication speed has slowed down, you can blame the kids and the horses.

She makes cookies all the time and thinks they should have their own food group. In a (possibly misguided) attempt at balancing the scales between overconsumption and exertion, she kickboxes every day. So if you don’t like her kids, her cookies, or her books, maybe don’t tell her in person.

Bridget E. Baker also writes romance and women’s fiction under the pen name B. E. Baker.

#WOTR26 #Review – Loving Sweets (You’ve Been Gnomed) book 3 by AJ Renee and Miranda Lynn

Leave a comment

Happily ever after is for other people, not menopausal women combating hot flashes as they bake.
My simple world is upended when Brian Billups barrels into my life like a storm I never saw coming. Crushing on a younger man belongs in the pages of an age-gap romance novel, not in my real, responsible, middle-aged woman life.

Age is just a number.
No woman—not even my ex‑wife—ever affected me the way Yo Kim does. Just thinking about her sends heat rolling through me, a slow, undeniable burn that refuses to fade. Resisting her feels less like strength and more like denial.
It’s time we both take a second chance on love.
I just need to convince her that our story isn’t a fantasy.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Oh, be still my heart! Loving Sweets will capture your heart and make you beg for more! I swear that anyone who reads this book will be able to relate to it in one way or another. You don’t have to be a menopausal woman who feels like a cougar because she is crushing on a young man who would love to sweep her off her feet. And likewise, you don’t have to be the young man who would do anything to make said woman understand how deep his love runs for her, age be damned! Plus, you add in these freaky lil gnomes with Gran spouting off like she normally does that makes everyone blush and you have the perfect combination for a super sweet, cozy, small town, rom com. I just love how all the characters from the past books still interact with the main characters in Loving Sweets. I mean, when love is love, just let it be. Brian and Yo, even though they come from entirely different backgrounds, truly have some chemistry that would make anyone’s heart swoon. They both deserve a shot at happiness. Everyone else sees it but how they go about getting there, is quite the journey. Lovingly sweet!

In other words, become a pimp.

It’s a cruel demotion for a reaper who just wanted to guide souls to their final destination. He is dying to return to Hell, until he meets the stubborn woman living across the hall.

The Devil wants Posie mated, but she is resisting all attempts. What will it take to make her see the light?

And how will she react when she finally discovers that death has been knocking at her door?

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I read the blurb and was instantly intrigued. I listened to this via audiobook. The narrator was great! I usually have to speed the up the audio a bit but did not have to do that with this one. Brody’s and Posie’s story is great. Almost a grumpy/sunshine type of story. Both of them are a take no sh!t type of personality but cannot deny that there is a spark between them. However, the whole, “Grim Dating” really has thrown both of them for a loop. It’s funny with a lot of witty banter. I really love how Heaven and Hell with some of the Greek mythology has been weaved in. I had a little trouble getting started with the story. I was put off a bit with Lucifer’s daughters. I didn’t really get into the story until about 15-20% of the book when Brody’s story really got started. That first chunk is needed for backstory, and it is needed so that when Brody and Posie finally do bump into each other, all Hell doesn’t break loose, no pun intended, lol!

#WOTR26 #Review – Loving Death (You’ve Been Gnomed) Book 2 by AJ Renee and Miranda Lynn

Leave a comment

I never expected to run into Maverick Houston—especially not in the aftermath of grief.
My childhood bully. The boy who made school a nightmare. Now he’s standing in front of me, looking just as lost as I feel—and unfairly, heartbreakingly handsome.
I should walk away.
But Ma’s voice echoes in my head, reminding me to lead with grace, not grudges. That doesn’t explain the electric current between us, the pull I can’t seem to fight.

One look at Rose Marie Benedict, and the weight of who I used to be nearly brings me to my knees.
I hurt her—deeply. And yet, here I am, planting roots in the same small town I once tried to escape. I didn’t come to Norina looking for redemption. But maybe it found me anyway.
Now I have to prove I’ve changed. That the man I am today is someone she can trust… maybe even love.
But forgiveness is a fragile thing.
And even if she gives it, do I deserve her heart?

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Sweet and spicy with all the humor that I have come to love with You’ve Been Gnomed!

Growing up is hard to do but sometimes the adulting thing is even rougher. Rose Marie and Maverick cross paths and who they were in their past lives crosses paths with that darned adulting thing. Each one is dealing with a personal death but end up feeling the electricity between each other. The only problem is that each time they get close, one of them puts their foot in their mouth. Do people change? Can they change? Oh, the news that Maverick gets is kind of gut wrenching. It really gave me some feels. Like, I needed a friend and I am happy that he was in Norina when he finally got this information.

Some of the things that I love most about the group of characters in Norina are how loyal everyone is and all their quirks! The ROMEOs are so wrong sometimes but absolutely hilarious! The women they are after are so freaking cute! Rose Marie’s friend, Kennedy, and Jack (Kennedy’s BF), and Gran are the most loyal but will also call BS if needed. They are the best! Maverick is bringing along a couple of his friends as well and I can’t wait to see what they bring to the table.

The Gnomes in Loving Death are a little more on a personal level. They are so perfect for the story. This book has a little bit of everything. It is swoon worthy but it still had me laughing and shaking my head at some of the shenanigans that were going on. I am patiently waiting for the next in the series.

#Review #Audio – Too Much Crime on My Hands (Castle Cove Mystery Series) Book 2 by Mary Frame

Leave a comment

For Charlotte, posing as the town psychic has never been easier. Thanks to helping the cops solve the mystery of the Castle Cove Bandit, “Ruby” has become a beloved fixture in the sleepy Oregon beach town. Her sister, Paige, is flourishing now that she’s not being yanked from one con job to the next. And both sisters are discovering what it means to be part of a community, rather than preying on one.

But wherever Charlotte and Paige go, crime is sure to follow. Someone has been breaking into homes and vandalizing their contents, including Ruby’s Readings and Cosmic Shop. Charlotte doesn’t want to get involved and risk their newfound stability, especially since it’s only two more months until the real Ruby returns. But when a phone call from their estranged parents breaks up their happy routine, the sisters realize they have even less time in Castle Cove than they thought.

Charlotte’s already had to distance herself from Deputy Jared once—a criminal in a cop’s bed never ends well. But this officer of the law isn’t giving up the chase. The closer he gets, the sooner the jig is up, and if Charlotte doesn’t give him the slip now, she may lose Paige forever.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

How much crime can there really be in the small town of Castle Cove? I guess every small town has its secrets. This is one thing that Charlotte and Paige know all too well. These two could have a really incredible life here, if only everyone knew that Ruby was really Charlotte. That is gonna be a tough one to explain. This book really pulled at my heartstrings because we get the backstory on their parents plus the realization that they are going to be on the run again sooner rather than later hits hard. You just know that friendships are going to be tested. I easily got immersed in the first book, but I started reading this and then finished it in audio all in one day because I just needed to know what was going to happen next. I was completely sucked in. I am totally invested in this story and ever so thankful that the third book is out already so I can keep on keeping on because the cliffhanger for this one….boy oh boy, I don’t know how I would have handled reading this knowing I would have had to wait for the third to release, LOL! But, we are ok! Be back soon with the next review! Oh, I almost forgot…..I highly recommend!!!!

#Review – The Edge of Evil: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel: Good to the Last Demon, Book 2 by Robyn Peterman

Leave a comment

What happens in Vegas, slaysin Vegas.

With a show to produce and my career as an actress on the line, I really don’t have time to die—especially violently. However, while that might not be on my agenda, it seems to be on other’s.

Awesome.

Instead of acting in my latest endeavor, I’m playing the real-life role of Reluctant Demon Who Has To Save The World—or at the very least, the hot hero.

Fine. I’m always up for a plot twist or a re-write.

Scene One— Save Abaddon from the evil clutches of the hideous Pandora.

Scene Two — Don’t die.

Scene Three — Avoid Pandora like the plague. I understand she has an evil box…

Scene Four — Do not die.

Scene Five — Possibly meet my mom, the woman who abandoned me as a baby.

Scene Six — Do Not Freaking Die.

Scene Seven — Go back to my non-deadly life and win a damn Emmy for Ass The World Turns.

Even though I’m living on the edge of evil, half insanity, half upheaval, I’m a pro and the show must go on.

As the saying goes, a bad dress rehearsal means I don’t get dismembered on opening night. Or something like that.

It’s showtime, folks.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more outrageous, I was proven wrong! Buckle up, Buttercup! Meeting Candy Vargo was the highlight of this trip! If you want something serious, just walk away now. This isn’t for you. If you want something that is going to continue to keep you on the edge of your seat to see what the next off the wall, silly, wonky, ridonkulous thing that Ms. Peterman can put these characters through, then keep on keepin’ on! This rag tag bunch seems to be loyal to a fault, Cecily is really coming into her powers and showing that she isn’t going to back down, but we still get all the follies that I enjoy so much!!!!

Lovin it!!

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

This was such an entertaining story! The author did an incredible job keeping things interesting but lighthearted with the right amount of wit, sarcasm and snark while the main character is being investigated for murder. I listened to this in audiobook and the narrator did a phenomenal job!

This is a fairly quick listen so I imagine that it would be a good read as well. The story moves at a great pace so you are not left waiting for things to happen or catch up. Mitzy always thought she was an orphan and then one day she was left money, an incredible bookstore, and found out she had family and others who quickly became friends. All while being arrested almost immediately for a murder (and you won’t believe who the corpse is!!!). She rolls with the punches as best she can and because of her stubbornness, doesn’t let the bad luck keep her down. There is a lot of small-town stuff where everyone knows everyone’s business, but at the same time a lot of those people become the family you didn’t know you had…or needed. Even after being accused of murder, having a ghost granny, crazy cat, potential love interest with the town sheriff that originally arrested her, and the family she didn’t know she needed, Mitzy is really finding that she belongs in Pin Cherry Harbor.

This is a super cute mystery that will suck you right from the start. I look forward to continuing the series and joining in on Mitzy’s misadventures!
