#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.

Too Much Crime on My Hands is book two in the Castle Cove Mystery Series–NOT A STAND ALONE NOVEL–YOU MUST READ BOOK ONE FIRST–Fake it to the Limit! If reading books with cliffhangers makes you feel punchy, you can read all three books in one download by going to: www.books2read.com/ExtraBoxset!

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.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

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!!

#Audio #Review – Fake it to the Limit: Castle Cove Mystery Series, Book 1 by Mary Frame

Leave a comment

When the local authorities ask Ruby Simpson to help them find a thief in the small town of Castle Cove, she doesn’t have much of a choice. She predicted the most recent theft, and the cops have no other leads. There are just two small problems. One, she’s not psychic.
Two, she’s not Ruby Simpson.

Okay, maybe they’re not small problems. But Charlotte needs a place to lay low with her younger sister, somewhere her parents won’t find her and the locals won’t ask too many questions. Getting involved with the cops, especially Deputy Jared, isn’t a smart thing for a reformed con artist to do. But Charlotte has to make a choice: raise her little sister on the right side of the law or put food on the table. What the real Ruby doesn’t see in her crystal ball won’t hurt her, right?

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

No faking that this is a great story!

I picked the audio book up when it was on special for free and wanted something light hearted while I was doing yardwork and what not. What I did not expect was to laugh out loud while I was mowing my lawn, giggling to myself while pulling weeds, or running to find put my earbuds in when I was doing other random things around the house that I wouldn’t normally listen to an audiobook while doing. I couldn’t stop listening. The narrator did a fantastic job portraying all of the characters and keeping me engaged. The author did an incredible job with the world and character building. I do wish that the author gave a little more information on Charlotte and Paige’s parents but perhaps we will get some of that in the next books. Charlotte and Paige were raised by con artists and are on the run from their con artist parents. Charlotte is trying to raise Paige right but while trying to do so, runs into a con that spirals a bit out of control. One tiny “reading” for a “customer” turns into a crazy rollercoaster showing Charlotte and Paige that some people actually care about others and not everyone is trying to con someone. One problem? How do they get out of the con?

I am highly invested in this story and cannot wait to continue! I highly recommend!

#Audio #Review – Fries and Alibis: Paranormal Cozy Mystery (Mitzy Moon Mysteries Book 1) by Trixie Silvertale

Leave a comment

A gift that’s too good to be true. A murder she didn’t commit. A barista in a latte trouble…

Mitzy Moon believes she’s an orphan, so she’s dumbstruck when a special delivery to her low-rent apartment reveals a family. But her shock turns to awe when she discovers her grandmother left her a fortune and a bookshop of rare tomes brimming with magic.

No sooner does she set foot in the quirky village of Pin Cherry Harbor to claim her inheritance, than the handsome sheriff catches her standing over a corpse. Desperate to prove her innocence, she’s forced to accept help from her granny’s entitled cat and a spirit from beyond the grave.

Can Mitzy and her otherworldly helpers uncover the real killer before the long, sexy arm of the law hauls her to jail?

Fries and Alibis is the first book in the hilarious paranormal cozy mystery series, Mitzy Moon Mysteries. (Complete series available now!) If you like amateur sleuths, small town intrigue, and a dash of the supernatural, then you’ll love Trixie Silvertale’s twisty whodunit.

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!

#Review – The Game by Shane Scollins

Leave a comment

No matter where you are, they’ll find you, and put you in “The GAME”.

Candice Laguna’s life is being systematically dismantled, by an unknown force, for a reason she can’t imagine. But she is about to become the unwilling star of a reality game competition the likes of which has never been broadcast to the world.

Just when things get darkest, a mysterious man snatches her from the grips of doom. He is a man who is not what he seems, and not who he says. He has no name and his motivation to help Candice is not what it seems to be.

But his selfishness has good intentions, he just wants to know who he is and where he came from. And getting to the man orchestrating this reality game is the only way to find the truth.

THE GAME is a mystery/thriller with an unpredictable paranormal twist. It has action and adventure and plays up the everyday exploitation of reality television obsession gone wrong.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

3.5 stars ~ I picked this book up on a whim, it looked interesting and I thought I would give it a shot. It is a fairly quick read but I have some mixed feelings with the overall story. I almost wish that it was a little longer so that there was more background maybe…I am not sure.

I am going to try not to give too many spoilers here so bear with me. It started out really great. Girl gets identity stolen and is forced into this crazy underground reality game. There are other girls trapped in this game as well. As one can imagine, it doesn’t exactly end well. Girl is saved by guy. This is where is got a little wonky for me. Guy dies but body jumps and finds his way back to girl. They ultimately figure out why he is body jumping and go after the bad guy. But somewhere in there it just didn’t quite fit right or it was too fast, or something that I just can’t pinpoint. Ultimately, this does end on an HEA and seems like it could have a sequel so YAY!

Do I recommend this book? Yes. Would I read a sequel? Yes. I am intrigued 😊

#Review – As the Underworld Turns: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel: Good to the Last Demon, Book 1 by Robyn Peterman

Leave a comment

What does a forty-year-old former child star do when she finds out she’s a Demon?

A sitcom, of course.

Age is just a number unless you’re an actress of a certain age trying to make a comeback in La La Land. Back in the day, I was the child star of the hit show Camp Bites. Today, I’m still living it down.

After a disastrous soap opera audition and getting fired from a TV show for not having a bodacious enough backside, one would think I’d be smart enough to go into real estate.

Nope.

Just found out from the rudest, meanest, and hottest guy alive that I’m a Demon. The jerk, also a Demon, goes by the name Abaddon—Abe to his friends.

I call him Dick.

He’s come from the Underworld to protect me—insert laugh track—since there’s a bounty on my head. Dick is not a welcome addition to my midlife madness. However, he won’t go away, and now, he’s my new boss.

Fine. Whatever. All I ever wanted to do in my life was pretend. I can pretend to get along with Dick. I can pretend that I’m not wildly attracted to him. Not sure I can pretend I’m human anymore, or that a supernatural assassin isn’t trying to cancel me, but I’m going to fake it until I make it. Or I get killed.

As the Underworld turns upside down, so have the days of my life.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Ok, so, I’ve read a few books by Robyn Peterman and I read them when I need something that is a bit over the top and is going to make me laugh. I, myself, am quite sarcastic with the humor of a teenage boy sometimes who will absolutely laugh at all the wrong moments. This is one thing that I have come to love about these books. Now, I have a friend that has not read a Robyn book and asked me what I was reading. I was trying to explain this one and it came out sort of like a former child star that was having trouble getting roles with soap operas found out  she is half demon, that there are flaming assassins from the underworld after her, a Demon who is trying to help her that she dislikes but really loves and she has now dubbed as Dick, a nude gay ghost uncle that loves to dance, has a brother that enjoys the jazz cabbage, and she just bough property in Straightjacket Subdivision. I mean, who wouldn’t want to read this? It is corny at times, it is hilarious, but most of all there is literally a midlife crisis here that most of us can absolutely relate to in one way or another.

If you need something snarky, witty, and that will make you laugh, I highly recommend this one!

#Review – Chained to the Wolf King: An Alien Monster Romance (The Yzefrxyl) by Jade Waltz

Leave a comment

She warned her captain not to leave the sol system.
He ignored her. Now the ship is dead, her crew is scattered, and Elsa has crash-landed on a frozen alien world ruled by massive, wolf-like predators who’ve never seen a human before.
The Alpha King claims her the moment he sees her.
Sylas is seven feet of fur, fangs, and barely restrained violence — and he’s decided she’s his. His mate. His property. He puts a silver collar around her throat, locks her in his chambers, and dares her to fight him on it.
So she does.
Elsa is a navigator. She maps escape routes the way she breathes. Star charts, terrain, wind patterns — anything that gets her one step closer to freedom. But Sylas isn’t just a monster king with claws that could gut her in a single swipe. He’s patient. Possessive. And the bond forming between them — a psychic thread neither of them asked for — is making it harder to tell where his obsession ends and hers begins.
His court wants her dead. His enemies are circling.
And when the Blood Moon rises, an ancient ritual will force her to run — and him to hunt.

Chained to the Wolf King is a full-length slow burn, sci-fi alien romance featuring a massive, morally gray wolf king, a heroine who refuses to break, forced proximity, a fated bond neither of them wanted, and a mating chase under a crimson moon.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

Star crossed fated mates. Elsa and Sylas are the last people/species that either of them thought they would fall in love with. The plot is great! There is such a wonderful story here! Elsa crash lands on Sylas’ world. She and a few other humans are the only survivors and they are taken as prisoners. However, they have been found to be a bit more useful than just “prisoners.” With the humans here and being protected plus Elsa and Sylas are getting closer, corruption is now rising and becoming more prominent within the kingdom….all hell starts to break loose. Elsa still needs to protect the humans, Sylas still needs to protect his kingdom, but these two need to protect each other. While there is a lot of bond forming and affection happening, there is a great deal of action and respect occurring as well.

There is a really, really great story here. However, there were times when I felt like the same things were being repeated or some chapters were extremely drawn out for no reason. I think if this was a bit shorter or perhaps less descriptive in some areas, this could have been a really awesome story.

I was very surprised at the ending. It tied the book up very nicely with an HEA, but also a nice segue into a sequel. I look forward to the next adventure.

She’s about to make a deal with the college bad boy…

Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she’s carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush’s attention, she’ll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice…even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.

…and it’s going to be oh so good

All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he’s worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he’s all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn’t take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn’t going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.

Hannah was just a normal girl at Briar University, she stayed to herself, went to work and got good grades, in one of her classes when everyone bombed an exam she was the only one who passed, and when the star of the hockey team seen she passed he was on a mission to get her to help him pass the make-up exam so he can keep his grade point average and stay on the team. Garrett wasn’t one to back down from a challenge and when he seen Hannah had eyes for a football player, he offered to help her get his attention in exchange for her helping him study to pass the make-up exam. it works and while they were studying Garrett was getting Hannah to relax more and to have fun, but with having fun, it brings out more information about her he didn’t think he’d ever would have heard. her past is not like most and his life isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. will these two fall for each other or will it end up in the penltey box.

#wotr #attendingauthor #partofaseries Perfect Secret (Mason Creek 12) by Molly Mclain

Leave a comment

A fake relationship with a sexy cowboy in a small town is never a good idea…

-Alana-

After high school, my plan was to leave the small town of Mason Creek and never look back. I thought I’d work my way through college while my long-time, bull rider boyfriend chased his rodeo dreams and took me along for the ride.

My own dreams of becoming his publicist and living the high life together on the ABR circuit were crushed when it became clear that my eight seconds was up. The buckle bunnies were suddenly more appealing than the girl with her nose buried in the books.

I’ve sworn off men, especially cowboys and bull riders.

That is, until I walk in on one in my shower, naked, wet, and built like he could break my heart… and my bed.

-Holden-

The rodeo has been my whole world, and all it took was one false accusation to bring it crumbling down. I cleared my name, but the organization I’ve given my life and my body to for the past seven years doesn’t give a damn. They don’t want the drama and right now they don’t want me.

That’s how I ended up in Mason Creek, hiding from the cameras while the dust settles and I can reclaim my reputation and my rank in the ABR. The last thing I need is to get messed up with a local girl, especially one who hates cowboys–bull riders in particular.

Our relationship may be just for show, but I see the opportunity for what it is…The chance to keep my secret a little longer and prove to Alana that maybe her problem with bull riders is simple…

She hasn’t ridden the right one yet.

oh lord it feels good to be back in Mason Creek!!! Alana lived there her whole life but went away for college and fell in love with a cowboy in the ABR circuit but when he broke her heart because buckle bunnies were more tempting than staying faithful, Alana focused all her time on work and school. she worked at the local grocery store and was hoping for one day to own it, she did everything else why not own it. but when her boss let her know that a ABR cowboy was going to live across the hallway she wasn’t having it but she didn’t have a choice. Will she be able to resist his charm or will this be the wildest 8 second ride of her life.
