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...

Hellooo! I'm at it again, and only a day after my last run-in with a killer!

Hobbs and I are growing closer and closer, but there always seems to be a mystery waiting for us just around the corner, nipping at our heels and thwarting our hot romance.

A very nice waiter named Joey Scarpetti, from the Marshmallow Hollow Ski Lodge is dead, and it happened in my backyard in my pear tree, no less. So what’s a girl to do but investigate?

On top of that, I catch Hobbs having coffee with a very stylish, flawlessly beautiful, natural blonde (hair envy here!), and I’m in a bit of a tizzy.

But when I have a gruesome vision of a young woman, so grief-stricken she wants to leave this plane forever, I know I have to find out if my vision is from a future event and if so, is there a way I can prevent a horrible tragedy?

All bets are off the table as I hunt for a killer and try and save a young woman’s life!

Review:

Carnage in a Pear Tree picks up right where One Corpse Open Slay ended. It was fun to be back in Marshmallow Hollow with such great characters. Halliday’s secret gets explored more by Hobbs and he has a lot to take in throughout the book. Readers are in for a treat as Hobbs has his own secret to reveal.

This story has a great plot and covers a hard-hitting topic. The pace and twists will keep you turning the pages. Carnage in a Pear Tree lets us enjoy some more of the townies and everyday life in Marshmallow Hollow. As always with this series, the main mystery is wrapped up by the end of the book so there are no cliff-hangers.

I think this book is pivotal to the series as the secrets revealed may shape their future together. Don’t miss out, read it now!

I received an ARC for an honest review.

Blurb/Summary:

No, silly. Not us. Team #Stewin is still enjoying being engaged and a nice long winter hiatus from murder and ghost chasing.

Until we open up Madam Zoltar's for the beginning of tourist season and the first customers are a bridal party from the seventh level of you-know-where!

When the soon-to-be ex-husband of the matron of honor is found dead at the motel where the bridal party is staying and she's accused of his murder--a murder we're convinced she didn't commit--our quiet comes to a screeching halt.

Add in the matron of honors dead twin, who appears to be desperately trying to get some kind of message to us, Belfry who's behaving strangely, and more poofy pink dresses than you can count, and you've got yourself a mystery.

A mystery we're determined to solve! The gang's all here. Join us for another romp in Witchless in Seattle, won't you?

Review:

Great to see Stevie and Win in action together with their sidekicks Arkady and Belfry. Where There’s a Witch, There’s a Way is an interesting murder mystery with lots of action, both normal and paranormal. I think one of the characters was channeling her inner “Nina” (from the Accidental Series) the whole book. The murder mystery is well done and all wrapped up for us by the end of the book.

Dana has become more involved with Win and there are some intriguing side effects of their relationship. As a reader, I hope that they all get to work on a case together in the future.

It was nice to see Stevie and Win’s relationship progressing with more teasing about wedding plans and some dates sprinkled into the story.  

This was a fun book and a great addition to the series.

Reviewer: Stacey Krug 

Blurb/Summary:

The final book in New York Times Bestseller Dianna Love’s explosive Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador™ World series is a thrilling rollercoaster ride to an unexpected ending.

Daegan is given an unconscionable task to execute before he’ll be told how to find the last grimoire volume. Casidhe jumps at learning the truth of her bloodline only to discover a deadly surprise. While running solo, Reese angers the Imortik master who sends two possessed Beladors to drag her to him. Human military lock on Evalle and her Belador team racing to stop preternatural threats. With one last hope of surviving, Cathbad goes all in and encounters a battle he never planned on. The Imortik master escalates his plans sooner than anyone expected.

Everything comes down to this moment and Daegan is not ready.

Review:

Absolutely amazing ending to what has been a journey of epic proportions. Dianna Love hit it out of the park with this final book. She even manages to throw in some major plot twists that no one will see coming.

Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World: Book 9 is constant non-stop action from beginning to end. Everything you have been wanting to see answered has a conclusion of some sort.

I love this book and didn’t want it to end. This final book met all my expectations as a reader and then some.

I’m hoping to see some of these characters play out roles in future books. There are so many stories that can still be told and Dianna Love made it so we can jump back into this wonderful fantasy world that she created.

Highly recommend this series!

Blurb/Summary:

Who do you call when you spot a baby hellhorse? Shifter Vets!

Judy desperately needs to find a home for her nineteen rescue horses. Waylon desperately needs to rein in his headstrong teenage daughter's quest to tame a wild hellhorse. And what both of them need most desperately is love...

Waylon, a bear shifter and veterinarian for magical animals, instantly recognizes Judy as his mate. But a few things stand between them and true love, namely...

1. Waylon's secret.
2. Waylon's daughter Raelynn's secret.
3. Judy's "Save the Horses" Instagram campaign's lack of likes.
4. The young hellhorse that starts wildfires every time it gets excited.
5. A dangerous beast shielded by its living armor.
6. A fire-breathing chicken.

Coming together to make a new family isn't easy. But Vets For All Pets--and the magical animals its shifter vets care for-- has lots of practice at creating love against the odds.

Bear Vet is a sweet, feel-good shifter romance full of love, laughter, and adorable animals, perfect for reading before bedtime. If you'd love to have a pet miniature pegasus or a kitten with wings, one-click on Bear Vet now!

Review:

Bear Vet: Shifter Vets #2 was a cute story with a lot of heart. This story focused on family and relationships and how it all worked for them. I enjoyed the dynamics and found them entertaining.

The romance between Judy and Waylon progressed as you would expect with a fated shifter mate, but there was a slow burn due to an existing child in the mix. This was not an overly exotic or sexually explicit paranormal romance story.

The author has a wonderful imagination and let it ride with all the different magical creatures in this book. I found myself intrigued by this new world Zoe Chant created and will be seeking out further books by this author.
