Review: BITE ME by Jennifer Dugan

 

It all started that night Poe followed a girl she liked. Then she was attacked by vampires…and now she was one. On top of that, the girl she liked was a vampire slayer. Boy, this slayer kicks it very well! Go, Buffy! The graphics were cool!

 

Jolie kills Poe and Poe comes back for revenge. A classic battle of Vampire vs. Slayer. Just like the Buffy show.

 

While Poe adjusts to being a vampire through the nest, the rage continues. The slayer’s dog was her weakness. No, don’t mess with her dog. Funny how the dog was just around in the struggle scene. So glad the dog didn’t get hurt though. I liked the funny scenes of Poe huffing and puffing while training to fight the slayer. Throughout this whole read, you begin to wonder: who were the real monsters here—the vampires or the slayers? Interesting. Unraveling this mystery was the best. The best part was Jolie and Poe fighting side-by-side like Buffy and Angel. A gripping action love story! Love that dog! Cool fight scenes!

Review: A MURKY MURDER by Cindy Bell

 

Bobbie, a writer, has just moved into her uncle’s old cottage. On the first day, she follows a barking dog to her dead next-door neighbor.

 

With tenacity and spunk, story is quick to dive into the investigation. There seems to be more than just a mystery of the murder here. There was also a mystery link to Bobbie’s past and the new town she was in. Both mysteries grab you and keep you reading. Hooray for Cindy on coming up with a new series that’ll definitely keep me reading.

Review: SKELETONS IN LITTLE LEAF CREEK by Cindy Bell

 

A haunted house in Little Leaf Creek? Well, Cassie just had to see about that. When she checks it out, she didn’t expect to come across two full skeletons in the wall. Now it seemed that Cassie had an old murder to solve. If suspicions were correct that it was the couple that scammed most of the residents in town, then the suspect list was pretty long. It’s pretty hard to solve an old case, but that won’t stop Tessa and Cassie from trying.

 

Another good mystery! What’s with that slamming of the door? Was the place really haunted? Was it possible that the killer was no longer alive since this murder happened so long ago? I kind of correctly figured a few items in this story, which kind of take the thrill out of things, but I still liked it.

Review: SINISTER SAILING by Gwen Taylor and Jen Booker

 

A mystery cruise sounded like the perfect vacation for writer Mia Watson. For a while, we just have a bunch of fake detectives scrambling for clues as Mia gives us her play-by-play. This wasn’t quite what I was expecting. I thought we would get a real dead body right from the start, not a game that everyone was trying to play. I found Mia’s narrative to be way too daunting. Eh, I didn’t like this.

Blog Tour: ONE FALL DAY by Rachel Matthews

 

Big-city critique meets small-town charm

—and it's love at first bite.

One Fall Day

River Valley Seasons Book 1

by Rachel Matthews

Genre: Slow-Burn Contemporary Small Town Romance

Manhattan food critic Valentina Aragon knows a good meal when she tastes it, and she never expected small-town River Valley to fall onto her plate. Her mentor insists it's a working retreat to recharge her creativity. But between the chilly days and the warmest people she's ever met, the town starts to feel less like a temporary stay and more like home. Too bad the one man she clashes with is the one who knows this town best.

Brandon Scott doesn't need love cluttering a life already full. But the inn's newest guest is impossible to ignore, even after he puts his foot in his mouth when she first arrives. When an opportunity to make things right lands in his lap, he takes it...and keeps taking it, one fall day at a time.

Acquaintances become friends, friends become something more, and when a figure from Brandon's past threatens the future he never saw coming, the whole town rallies to protect what matters most.

Cozy comforts inside: slow-burn sweetness, community heart, and a fall romance you'll want to curl up with.
