A dead body was found on a
dirt bike trail. Sounds like another case for Cassie and Tessa. Tessa sure was
bold and brave to simply walk up to the man with a shotgun. And it certainly
seemed like the girls had their work cut out for them with the idea of a wood
monster making these killings. Wood monster? Could the approved-trails have
angered nature-loving protesters enough to kill? A mystery that certainly grabs
you and keeps you reading.

Matt had just had it with his
annoying neighbor, Bradley, who was always getting him in trouble. Stealing his
project. Getting him suspended from school. Enough is enough! What to do about
him?
Then Bradley makes everything
worse when he buys a green egg in the form of Monster Blood online. When Monter
Blood is accidently put in Matt’s cereal, he gets a BIG PROBLEM. There was some
funny and awkward scenes with his hugeness.
In the second story, Matt goes
to Horrorland, where the new kids he just met have gone invisible. And the
Monster Blood makes its second appearance.
I love that you get 2 reads
here. Frightfully fun! Good reads!

This one kind of had a slow
start. In fact, this one kind of takes a while to grab my interest in general.
I mean, who cares if the kids were into Olympics? I mean, it gets a little
interesting with the disappearing cereal and making the kid thing there was a
ghost. But the story just didn’t get me riveted. I’ve definitely read better.

Lottie Bradbury hasn't set foot in Bradbury Manor for twelve years.
Sent away as a child following her mother's tragic death, she is summoned home in 1919 by the estranged father she barely knows. The once-great estate is failing, burdened by debt, decay, and generations of neglect. Her return comes with a price: an arranged marriage intended to save what remains of the Bradbury legacy.
But Bradbury Manor is not merely old.
At night, the house makes itself known.
As Lottie is drawn deeper into her family's history, she uncovers a pattern stretching back centuries-one marked by unexplained deaths, buried betrayals, and a curse that never truly ends. It simply passes from one generation to the next.
Everyone expects her to take her place.
To continue what came before.
Caught between the expectations of her father, the promise of a future beyond the estate, and the growing realization that something is terribly wrong within Bradbury Manor, Lottie must decide how much of the truth she is willing to uncover-and what it may cost her when she does.
The closer she gets to the answers, the harder it becomes to tell whether she is exposing the darkness surrounding her family...
or being led deeper into it.
Atmospheric, unsettling, and steeped in gothic tradition, The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor is a story of haunted houses, family secrets, generational curses, and the enduring power of the past. For readers who love crumbling estates, supernatural mysteries, psychological tension, and stories where history refuses to stay dead.

Welcome to Willington, where the tea is always brewing, the gossip travels faster than the post, and a 175lb Great Dane is convinced everyone has come to see him. (They probably have.)
Mrs Elaine Butterwick runs the village shop and post office with her husband Kenny, who sees a conspiracy in everything, and Bertram, a gentle, dignified Great Dane with a passion for handbags and an undying love for the young vicar. Elaine is quiet, kind and a great deal sharper than she lets on. When something goes missing in Willington, she is usually the first to notice, and the last to say so.
Four cosy mysteries, one for each month from harvest to Holly
SEPTEMBER – Something's Missing and Missed
A treasured engagement ring vanishes from a widower's writing bureau, and village suspicion lands on all the wrong people. Meanwhile, Elaine's oldest friend Irene has suddenly taken to lilac, lipstick and a new hairdo…
OCTOBER – Harvest Gold
The village's precious gold chalice disappears during Harvest Festival week. Kenny suspects the Illuminati. Elaine suspects something much closer to home. And the harvest display has no idea what Bertram has planned for it.
NOVEMBER – A Bonfire and a Missing Guy
The Reverend Guy Chambers pops in for a packet of Polos and isn't seen again for the best part of a week. While the village carries on regardless, their vicar, who looks about twelve, is having the most unexpected week of his life somewhere between a school bus and a rugby team on tour. Can Elaine and Irene bring him home in time for Remembrance Sunday?
DECEMBER – Once Upon a Crime
It's panto week. Kenny is Puss in Boots (with man flu), the vicar is the Dame (and loving the make-up), and while the whole village watches Bertram refuse to leave the stage, someone is letting themselves into their homes. With Irene's Christmas Eve party fast approaching, Elaine must unmask a thief before the final curtain. Oh yes she must.
Along the way you'll meet a self-proclaimed witch in sequinned trainers, a pub landlord who is still getting the band back together, a parish organiser who is always on her first glass, and a handyman who appears from nowhere.
Warm, gently funny and full of characters you'll want to share a pot of tea with, The Mrs Butterwick Mysteries are perfect for fans of cosy crime, English village life and good old-fashioned British humour. Printed in large print for comfortable reading.
Pop the kettle on, find a biscuit, and hide your handbag. Bertram is on his way.
