Blurb/Summary:

Welcome to Marshmallow Hollow, Maine, a holiday mystery, where it's all Christmas all the time and murder is hung by the chimney with care...

Halliday Valentine here! It’s a week before Christmas, and my quaint holiday town, Marshmallow Hollow, is chock-a-block with seasonal activities. Some less fun than others…like the ice sculpting competition my bestie, Stiles, has talked me into. Let’s just say, as a pair, Michelangelo we ain’t. I’m secretly relieved when our epically awful ice display gets damaged. It gives me a chance to watch my new beau, Hobbs, compete in the sled race.

But not five seconds in, and Hobbs’s sled-loving dog, Stephen King, escapes my grip to get in on the action—and boy, does he. He even manages to find himself a sled to ride. Too bad it’s already occupied. With the corpse of a renowned ice sculpting judge.

True-crime lovers that we are, Hobbs and I jump right into the investigation. It’s not nosiness, I swear. A little kitten’s fate is on the line, after all (long story)!

Only problem? A bajillion suspects. The victim was nothing if not an equal-opportunity jerk, universally hated by everyone he’d ever met. And every suspect has an air-tight alibi. Not to mention, the murder weapon is a giant mystery the police can’t solve.

All this sleuthing would be a heck of a lot easier if I could just use my magic. But can I trust Hobbs with that reveal? Or more accurately, is he ready for that reveal?

Review:

One Corpse Open Slay has a full cast of secondary characters that keep the story moving and readers guessing. We of course get to spend lots of time with Halliday and Hobbs as they work through the suspects trying to find the killer. As they interview suspects, we get to learn more about the people of Marshmallow Hollow, which is a magical little town.

Get ready for an interesting mystery and reveals from more than one character. If you are looking for a fun holiday cozy mystery series, then I highly recommend the Marshmallow Hollow Mysteries.

Review:

These stories keep getting better and better. If you love fantasy, then I highly recommend this series. The Treoir Dragon Chronicles do need to be read in order because the story lines build on one another.

In book three the adventure and plot thicken as more characters enter the storyline. There are secrets within secrets, and I can’t wait to see where it will all lead!

You have time to read the first two stories before the third one releases!

Blurb/Summary:

Welcome to Marshmallow Hollow, Maine, a holiday mystery, where it's all Christmas all the time and murder is hung by the chimney with care...

For an adorable little Christmas town, Marshmallow Hollow sure sees a lot of action. Just days off the last murder—solved by moi, Halliday Valentine, and my gorgeous tenant, Hobbs—I’m eagerly awaiting a visit from my dear Uncle Darling and his husband, Monty, when my phone blows up.

Another murder, this time at the convenience store on the edge of town…and Uncle Monty was hurt in the process.

Without hesitation, Hobbs and I jump into action, seeking justice for the deceased and both of my uncles. Between ambulance-chasing lawyers, career-climbing journalists and chain-smoking ex-drug dealers, we have more than enough suspects to go around.

But how do any of them connect to three missing girls from neighboring towns…?

Will Monty, the only living witness, be safe while the killer’s at large …?

Will Atticus, my adorbs hummingbird familiar, magic me to Siberia when I use one too many spells for his liking…?

And most of all, how will Handsome Hobbs react when he learns my frequent “migraines” are a lot less neurological…and a whole lot more paranormal?

Review:

The underlying story between Halliday and Hobbs continues and progresses. Readers get to meet Hal’s uncles and are treated to some more back story through these new characters. They are a hoot!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Witness is a gripping cozy mystery that will keep you turning the pages to find the killer. Dakota Cassidy promises a full story with the mystery wrapped up before the end. She completely delivers, but I highly suggest reading the previous story Jingle all the Slay as it sets up the main characters.

Marshmallow Hollow is a wonderful escape, and I wish it was a real town to go visit. Anxious to see what’s in store for Hal and Hobbs and what new mystery they will face next!

Blurb/Summary:

Book 2 in New York Times Bestseller Dianna Love’s brand-new Belador™ series for first-time readers as well as current fans continues with new reveals and unexpected twists.

Daegan is running out of time to find the destructive dragon impersonating him and the woman who claims to be the Treoir family squire, but Casidhe has no intention of being caught. She’s racing to find her best friend believed captured by a deadly being. With Atlanta reeling from supernaturals being revealed, the Beladors are battling to protect humans while losing their own to Imortiks possessing any warm body, human or nonhuman. Hunting answers in Ireland lands Tristan somewhere he quickly realizes epitomizes a fate worse than death. Cathbad visits Queen Maeve to gain access to her resources, but the meeting turns explosive and costs him more than he could have imagined.

Imortiks drawn to the venom in Daegan’s body are draining his powers when he needs them most. With Beladors awaiting execution in Atlanta and Tristan still to be found, Daegan goes all in to gain information. Choosing the lesser of two evils means still ending up with one.

*This is a 9-book spinoff series for first-time readers as well as current Belador fans.

Review:

Book two of the Treoir Dragon Chronicles starts off where we left Daegan and Casidhe. More secrets are revealed as we get to know these characters better. The action doesn’t stop as Daegan searches for answers to help his people. This is true fantasy as we are led on an adventure.

Dianna Love is queen of the cliff-hangers in this series, which is very exciting because it’s like reading a fantasy soap opera…tune in next time.

I highly recommend this spin off series!

 Reviewer:  Stacey Krug  

Blurb/Summary:

 

Welcome to Marshmallow Hollow, Maine, a holiday mystery, where it's all Christmas all the time and murder is hung by the chimney with care...

I'm Halliday Valentine (yep; funny name is funny), a psychic witch who's recently moved from New York City back to my very human hometown of Marshmallow Hollow, where I run the family factory that caters to all things Christmas. I inherited the factory from Mom, who inherited from Nana Karen, but now it's just me (kinda...long story), my curmudgeonly British familiar hummingbird, Atticus; one ungrateful rescue cat; my talking reindeer, Karen; and my BFF Stiles (the only human aware of my witchy side).

Oh, and Digby Dainty (known as Hobbs), the tall drink of water who rents my guest cottage. And who I wouldn't mind getting to know better. We have a lot in common, including a love of true crime. So as macabre as it sounds, when a shady real estate tycoon shows up dead in the middle of the annual ice festival, I'm thrilled to spend time with Hobbs, flexing our amateur sleuthing skills.

Well...not thrilled. I mean, a guy's dead after all. But he did try to con some businesses right out from under the hard-working locals. In fact, the only thing more surprising than a murder in our charming Christmas town is how many of my friendly, beloved neighbors seemed to want the man dead...

Review:

If you love a good Hallmark movie then you are going to love Jingle all the Slay. It’s like a Christmas Hallmark movie and a cozy mystery all in one except Halliday Valentine is a witch so you get real magic and the holiday spirit. You can smell the fires burning and see the twinkly lights lighting up the small town. Dakota Cassidy brings it all to life in the first installment of the Marshmallow Hollow Mysteries series. Make sure you have your hot chocolate with marshmallows ready when you dive into this story!

If you are a fan of Dakota Cassidy, then you already know she loves her quirky characters and she doesn’t disappoint in Jingle all the Slay. There are plenty of fun characters for readers to enjoy and escape with. This book was a wonderful beginning to a new series and the mystery is wrapped up by the end of the book. I look forward to seeing what adventures await Halliday, Hobbs, and Stiles.

Reviewer:  Stacey Krug  

Blurb/Summary:

New York Times Bestseller Dianna Love has a brand new series from the Belador world for first time readers as well as current Belador fans and it’s full of explosive reveals. Dragons didn’t just show up out of thin air centuries ago and not all of them died in the Dragani war.

Atlanta hovers on the edge of chaos and pandemonium as rumors fly about supernatural beings living among humans. Deadly preternaturals predators have been held in check for many years by the most formidable pantheons. One angry being has had enough and accesses majik of an ancient grimoire to release abominations capable of taking down the most powerful of humanity’s supernatural protectors.

As the dragon-shifter king over Beladors living secretly among humans, Daegan is tortured by having failed to save his loved ones two millennia ago when a vindictive goddess captured him. With a second chance at life, he’s vowed to protect his new family and destroy anyone who harms them. He’ll have to find all the parts of a grimoire divided up and hidden thousands of years ago for any hope of saving his captured people and a world ready to launch high-tech weapons to wipe out unnatural beings.

The entire human race has one hope of surviving what’s coming for them, but only if fear of the unknown does not drive the humans to kill their greatest protector first.

*This is book 1 of a 9-book spinoff series for first time readers as well as current Belador fans. All 9 books will release within a year and be available in e-book, print, and audiobooks.

Review:

I had to stop myself from reading so fast to see what was going to happen next. Prolonging my reading enjoyment was a slow torture! This book is packed with action and plot twists that will keep you entertained the entire time the book is open. When you are done you will feel a profound sense of loss as to what do you do now. The next book can not come out fast enough!

If you are a fan of the Belador Series then you will be familiar with the characters and the backstories on each. Not to worry, Dianna Love gives plenty of backstory so that readers can pick up Treior Dragon Chronicles Of The Belador World and just enjoy it. However, this story will leave you wanting the rest!

This is an amazing first book spin off and I really can’t wait to read the next story!

Reviewer:  Stacey Krug  

Blurb/Summary:

 Stevie here, reporting to you live from Ebenezer Falls, WA with my disaster of a day.

 Yes, that’s right. I’m having a terrible day. The worst. It started off like any other day with the exception of Win’s strange behavior, that is. But it’s all gone downhill from there and I have questions.

So many questions…

For instance, why is everyone else in Eb Falls behaving as strangely as my International Man of Mystery? And who the heck is Donna? For that matter, who’s Candy Cane and why does she have snow? Who’s the blonde picking up Win in our driveway? And was that an Aston Martin I just saw drive by?

What the heck is going on?

I set out to have a perfectly nice day after a long summer filled with tourists and readings at Madame Zoltar’s shop. Since we'd had so little time to spend together these last few weeks, I was feeling a little left behind while Win was off on a guy’s day of his own, but a much-needed spa-day should have cured that.

Or at least I thought it would.

That was before everything turned upside down, Win became almost unreachable by phone or text, and the words blackmail, drugs, and extortion were bandied about…

Review:

 Gettin’ Witched is a not to be missed novella in the Witchless in Seattle Mysteries Series. Fans will be thrilled for this little adventure. All the main characters come out to play in this story. It is a short story, but pivotal to the ongoing story line.

 I won’t ruin any of the plot for you in this review. I will say Stevie is up to her usually antics and takes it up a notch with her paranoia in Gettin’ Witched. It’s a sweet story. Go read it!

Reviewer:  Stacey Krug 

Blurb/Summary:

New York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian returns to the sizzling, emotional world of the 100 Series with Play My Game, a contemporary romance between a tormented, brilliant painter and the beauty he is determined to have at any cost.

She stands out like a flame in the dark. Out of place in my orbit, she is a bright splash of color in an abyss of darkness. An innocent in a den of sin. And I, Jared Rush, am a master of corruption.

Like my paintings—dark, carnal images that have crowned me the king of the avant-garde art world while also making me a very rich man—I don't flinch away from my baser instincts. And now, every one of those instincts is hungry for the fresh-faced beauty who made the mistake of wandering into my lair.

I don't know her name yet, but that's inconsequential. I know who she belongs to. And while she has nothing to do with the bad blood that's been festering inside me for decades, I can’t help thinking about that old, unsettled score. I'm thinking about payback. And I already have a price in mind. One that begins with her.

When it comes to getting what I want, I always play to win. But in the end, will the cost of my vengeance be more than I can bear to lose?

While this novel is Book 5 in the 100 Series, featuring characters introduced in earlier books, PLAY MY GAME can be read as a complete standalone with a swoon-worthy HEA and no cliffhangers.

Review:

Play My Game is a sexually charged and extremely intense read. Lara Adrian sets the stage and pulls readers in with a dark and sinister plot, but her characters, Jared and Melanie, take over with their vivid passion.

This story was extremely hard to put down and I didn’t want it to end. Play My Game would fall under the definition of a page turner.  Lara Adrian hit it out of the park with Play My Game. This 100 Series novel has it all: the plot, chemistry between the main characters, character development, past characters from previous stories making appearances throughout the story, and a HEA.

If you are a fan of the 100 Series, then make sure you don’t miss Play My Game!

 Blurb/Summary:

Murphy Umanski, personal assistant and sister to Nova LaRue, the beautiful, popular Instagram influencer, has her hands full keeping her client in check. Nova has a big following, a big mouth, and because of it, she has even a bigger problem.

After posting an anonymous and inflammatory comment on a rival's Instagram page, someone turns her into a troll—and not the cute little troll doll so popularly used as a good luck charm in a rollicking game of bingo. No, in fact, Nova looks like something that lives in a hole carved out in a tree in a haunted forest.

When Murphy reaches out to the OOPS gang for help, she ends up having an accident of her own. Rushing to the sisters' aid is the newly-minted Troll King himself, Sten Peerson. Big, muscly, green-haired Sten The Troll King…

Dreamy sigh, right?

Well, sort of. Not making things any easier is his wild attraction to Murphy—which is leaving him unfocused in his new role as king. But as always, with every new turning comes the inevitable bad news.

Nova’s powers as a troll are a highly sought-after commodity in the troll world. And if Sten can’t figure out how to turn her back or find someone who can, she’s one dead rearview mirror decoration...

Review:

It’s amazing how Dakota Cassidy keeps making every Accidentally Paranormal Series book original and fun. Dakota’s imagination is a benefit to all her readers. Not to worry any of the long-time fans, all the gang is still in The Accidental Troll and the “Framily” as Nina calls them is still going strong.

Murphy Umanski and Sten Peerson are lovable characters and wonderful together. Readers will be rooting for their HEA as they journey along trying to help Murphy’s sister Nova reverse the troll curse.

The Accidental Troll has non-stop action from beginning to end with plenty of plot twits and jumps to keep everyone glued to the book. There is a bit of mystery wrapped up in this one that sorts itself out by the end. No cliff-hangers and as with all the Accidental Paranormal Series books readers can expect a HEA.  

This is a wonderful addition to the series and has some pivotal information for future books so don’t miss out!

Katie Woods did an incredible job on the cover art. This is how I pictured the character in the book the whole time!

Blurb/Summary:

Now that Win is up and about, he’s been a very busy bee. He’s jumped in with both feet, getting involved in our community and living his best life now that he’s unencumbered by his spy past. He even joined the Ebenezer Falls garden club and made all the female member’s toes curl with his British charm.

On a flower scouting trip for the garden club’s annual spring planting in the town square, while Win is ogling lavender bushes and pansies, I fall head first into a pile of soil where a body’s buried.

Not just any body either. It’s the body of the husband of a close acquaintance of mine—a close acquaintance who just happens to own the nursery and the pile of dirt I fall into head first.

When he begs me to investigate, there’s no way I’m going to turn him down, but there are obstacles to overcome.

For instance, the love of my life. My International Man of Mystery, who keeps stepping on my investigative toes. It’s proving to be an adjustment solving a mystery with us working in the same space. Add in Dana, who’s gone ‘round the bend, my sudden and unexplained investigative (not to mention ridiculous) possessiveness and everything’s all topsy-turvy.

But there’s a vicious killer on the loose and as we unravel whodunnit, I’m hoping our relationship doesn’t unravel, too…

Review:

Wow, that was one messed up murder mystery! Crazy bigoted parents, gay son, daughter that inherits the family business, add in a little witch detective and you have one interesting story that’s a page turner.

Witch Perfect starts where Witch It Real Good left off. Loved seeing the human emotions come out in Win and Stevie during the murder investigation and their everyday life. They are both dealing with different issues and trying to mesh their lives together as a couple while also trying to fit into the community. Their difficulties made them seem more real, and I enjoyed their communication efforts.

Great story and the ending left room for a new beginning. Look forward to seeing where the series will go from here.

Reviewer:  Stacey Krug 

 Blurb/Summary:

In this friends to lovers paranormal romance, Mad Red isn't just a nickname for Adrian's wolf, it's the truth. His teammates want to save him, but his wolf is deranged and Adrian lives a tortured existence for his part in losing his wolf when a rescue mission overseas went horribly wrong. Now, he just needs to stay alive long enough to answer the call for help from the family of a fallen soldier Adrian loved like a brother. But to bring the wolf shifter who killed the soldier's sibling to justice, Adrian will have to hunt down Jazlyn, a female wolf shifter who just saved his life, and put her in prison. Welcome to his hell on earth.

Even while on the run for her life, Jazlyn can't turn her back on anyone in pain if she can heal them, but her last decision proves no good deed goes unpunished. She's racing to find the one person who can prove her innocence then she can leave the southeast for good and return to her Kodiak bear shifter family without putting them at risk. They love her, but she's the only wolf shifter they'll accept, because they raised her. It's not like she has time to worry about mating ... not until her sexy mistake shows up and their energies hum with a powerful mating call. Giving into that desire could destroy everything, or it just might save them both.

Review:

I was shocked and awed by the story telling, plot, and emotional roller coaster that is Wild Wolf Mate. Fans of the League of Gallize Shifters will not want to miss Adrian’s story.

Adrian has so much to overcome in order to reconnect with Red, his wolf. He’s consigned himself to death until Jazlyn comes along and reignites his passion for living.

Together they need to face an enemy that holds answers that will rock both their worlds. Will their trials bring them closer together or shatter the thin bond of trust between them?

Their journey is worth reading, as Dianna Love has the story line moving in a direction that you will not want to miss!

Hello! It's me again, Trixie Lavender and my best demon friend the stoic but adorable Coop.

Things have been going pretty great for us these days. Inkerbelle's Tattoos is doing well financially. Our clientele is growing by the day, and we're about to purchase the guest house we’ve been living in from our dear friend Knuckles.

Finally, we'll have the roots we've so desperately yearned for. Now, if only we could figure out how to get rid of the troublesome demon inside me...

We’ve also been focusing on Coop and her efforts to live her best life. As a newb to Earth, she’s on a quest to experience as much as she possibly can and that includes her latest passion, makeup.

While attending an event for Coop’s favorite beauty guru and online superstar Glitzy Mitzy, we watch in horror as she dies right before our very eyes.

Naturally, we suspect foul play, but with no clues, and the police not calling Mitzy's death a murder, we have little to go on. But does that stop me? Nah. So you know what that means—it’s time to break out our best spyware and solve this murder!

Review:

What A Nunderful World is book 5 in the Nun of Your Business Mysteries. I highly suggest reading them in order because each book leads into the next with an overall mystery running through them. However, in my opinion, if you are not able to read the first four books then this is a good book to jump into the series on, as it has back story from several of the other books and it is a complete mystery in and of itself. If you want complete character back stories, then you will need to read the other four books.  

The entire “family/gang” is present in this story and we see how they all work together to help solve this latest mystery. In the previous book, Trixie’s secret demon possession is revealed to one of the main characters and this tends to add another layer of humor and help for both Trixie and Coop.

The book was a fun mystery to read with a plot twist that kept me guessing. I found it interesting that there were no new characters added to the “family”. What A Nunderful World is a good addition to the series leading us to the next level of the overall mystery. I expect that we will be visiting Trixie’s past very soon to find out what her future will hold.

I received an ARC for an honest review.
