Blurb/Summary:

Raphaela Tucci, Ralph to those who know and love her, beloved former first-grade teacher, newly minted bookstore owner, and ever the optimist is dead…

Dead.

Not only is she dead, she’s a ghost. Like, bonafide see-through, floating, boo screeching ghost.

It’s hard to be optimistic when your life tragically ends the moment you begin to live your dream. But Ralph tries anyway, even as she finds herself stuck in Nina’s big castle—on Long Island, no less.

Ralph doesn’t know how she ended up where she landed, but after a week of floating silently unseen through room after room, watching these kooky but loveable women live their lives, she doesn’t understand why her destiny isn’t even close to what she’s read in books and seen in movies.

Maybe there really isn’t an upstairs after all?

Enter Shamus Ransom, the biggest (hottest) silver-fox elf (whaaat?) she’s ever seen with the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. He’s been hired by Nina to eliminate the funny smell the vampire's positive is a ghost haunting her castle.

What he finds is a beautiful, completely stuck ghost with a heart of gold and an optimistic outlook he’s never seen in an entity.

Shamus’s job already isn’t an easy one, but as he tries to find out why Ralph is stuck and categorize what type of ghost she is, he also finds himself falling in deep like with her. Getting involved is absolutely out of the question. Theirs would be far more than a long distance romance. To even consider it was ludicrous, right?

But as Shamus and the women of OOPS try and figure out what happened to Ralph on the night she was killed and why she’s cemented on this plane, there are dangerous entities gunning for Ralph and they won’t stop until she’s locked away in Hell—forever...

Review:

It took longer than usual to finish reading The Accidental Ghost. I had to keep stopping because I was crying too hard to see. This story brings out all the emotions!

The characters are amazing. I loved Raphaela Tucci and Shamus Ransom. We get to see and hear about some different paranormal beings and their powers. The OOPs ladies are all in attendance on this mystery and much of the story takes place in Nina’s castle.

Loved the plot, action, plot twists, suspense, and the ending. The Accidental Ghost is a fun story and a fantastic addition to the series.

Blurb/Summary:

Unalived recently? Lose your head? Need someone to help you get to the other side—with your head?

Then I’m your girl—Evanora Dark at your service!

During a design competition for charity Tambi Schubert, local Buttermilk Bay's star stager and designer has a little accident.

Okay, it’s a not so little (read big—my word, so big).

I find her, relieved of her head via a power tool, in the house I’m designing for the competition, bringing a screeching halt to the contest and an investigation that leaves me as a suspect.

Yet, as I take a deep dive into Tambi’s past, I find almost everyone’s a suspect. Her past doesn’t only reveal her dismissive treatment of others, and some dark secrets, but a lonely woman who’s afraid of what waits for her on the other side.

But the only way to find out, and to clear my name, is to find Tambi’s killer before I end up losing my head—no pun intended!

Review:

Evanora had her work cut out for her with the newest ghost, Tambi Schubert. Tambi was demanding and persnickety while she was alive and not too different dead. Tambi’s decapitation and depiction of said decapitation as a ghost was not for the faint of heart. Dakota Cassidy got creative with the decapitation details.

Evanora must procure a list of suspects fast before she gets arrested for Tambi’s murder. She sets her hat for some major sleuthing. Unfortunately, everyone looks like a suspect because of their relationships with Tambi.

Evanora has a bit of trouble juggling her sleuthing and personal life in this book. Her boyfriend becomes extremely curious of her activities and protective of her. How much longer will she be able to hide what she does before she slips up in front of him?

This was a nail biter until the end with a few unusual plot twists. Dakota Cassidy does a wonderful job of wrapping up the story and giving readers a HFN and HEA ending, depending on the characters. Stabby Chic, book four, is a terrific addition to the Bewitching Midlife Crisis Mysteries series.

Blurb/Summary:

Can a gifted female on an impossible mission and a tortured wolf shifter doomed to die in a cage risk trust to save each other?

Bosse will never leave the cage he’s been locked in for over the past two years. Used as entertainment for a lion shifter pretending to be a king, he’s forced to battle other shifters daily where only one can survive thanks to his pack alpha who sold him. The minute he realized female pack members were coming to his bed only to breed, he refused to have a cub born by women unworthy of being mates only to be taken away. Then a chance for escape comes from a strange female servant who secretly gives him food better than his normal gruel, he’s immediately suspicious but … she also leaves him cookies. Who bakes cookies for a monster? The more he watches her, the more his numb heart begins to feel again, which is dangerous. What if she’s trying to trick him like others who betrayed him?

When an important female leader goes missing, Alifair is tasked with finding the woman. Why? Because Alifair inherited the duty to protect her clan of gifted beings, but her magic is flawed. Even her best asset of clairvoyant dreams has occasional hiccups. That’s how she ended up captured in Slovakia to toil as a servant where the female leader is being held. With no sight of the leader in weeks, Alifair is at the point of panic until a new dream shows points to the person who can aid her in succeeding at her duty. Her dream godmother must have been on a drinking binge because Alifair will first have to free the most dangerous wolf shifter locked in the basement cages. Then time runs out when Bosse infuriates the crazy lion shifter who decrees Boose will die by the next morning, forcing her to gamble her life to make deal with the wolf shifter.

Alifair enters his cage prepared for the worst and discovers a man who touches her heart with one surprising action. Bosse’s cookie fairy offers him the freedom he never expected, but with an unacceptable condition.

Dive into the new romantic adventure spin off series from the League of Gallize Shifters that will yank on your heart strings with every unexpected twist and pin you to the edge of your seat until the explosive ending.
 

Review:

Fantastic start to a new spin off series in the Gallize world! Bosse has an engaging plot, interesting characters, action, adventure, and romance. Bosse is a story of survival and perseverance. 

Bosse and Alifair are two of the most unwavering and persistent people. Bosse refuses to give up and die in the arena. He’ll stay alive as long as he can. Alifair goes to extreme measures to find her missing clan leader. She puts herself in harm’s way repeatedly. Both have past experiences that cause them to have major trust issues, but when they come together their chemistry is tangible.

Their journey is one of non-stop action, danger, and adventure while trust is being formed between them. Alifair’s magical nature keeps things interesting as she’s never quite sure what will happen. Bosse’s wolf Titan is fierce and strongly connected to him. Together they all make a stalwart team to stand against the evil they face.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and their romantic connection. Dianna Love’s characters always show emotional growth as her stories progress endearing her characters to readers.

I highly recommend this fun story!

Reviewer: Stacey Krug  

Blurb/Summary:

“Did you ever think you’d meet a bigger, foul-tempered potty mouth than Nina? Well, folks, meet Primrose Dunham.

It’s Christmas and as the OOPs gang prepares for the holidays another “accident” finds its way to their doorstep. That accident turns out to be angry, foul-mouthed, rude and, well…
Just like Nina.
Primrose Dunham has been accidentally turned into a fairy. As if she wasn’t already angry enough with the world, now she has sporadic powers she can’t control, pointy ears, and a weird hump on her back that everyone keeps calling a “wing.”
If that’s not enough of a shock, a vampire, a werewolf and a halfsie come to her “rescue”…whether she wants them to help or not.
Oh, and the man she’s been trying to avoid—the “the literal boy next door and her one-time bestie, Rafferty Monroe—gets turned as well, thanks to Primrose!
It’ll take more than a Christmas miracle to thaw Prim’s frosty attitude, protect her from her sinister stepfather, and figure out why there’s a price on her head in the fairy world. But it’s nothing the OOPs ladies—along with assorted paranormal friends and framily—can’t handle.
Right?

Review:

The one thing that stood out to me in this book was that hurt people, hurt people. Prim has survived several traumas and is still standing, but she’s been bruised and battered. She has learned to shut people out and in doing so her people skills are lacking. She rivals Nina for the worst potty mouth award.

Rafferty has loved Prim since grade school. He has tried to keep the lines of communication open but has suffered his own trauma. The difference between Prim and Rafferty is that Rafferty doesn’t try and hurt people. He is loving and welcoming.

These two characters balance each other out. Turning into a fairy accidentally adds another layer of stress to their lives. However, the OOPs team is on the job to help them get through it. The Accidental Fairy has a fast-paced plot, action, romance, and framily. In true OOPs framily fashion, they rally around Prim and Rafferty to support them even after the major incidents have passed.

The Accidental Fairy has great plot twists that kept me engaged. This is a wonderful story of self-preservation, perseverance, and learning to accept help. Their journey is a fantastic addition to The Accidentals series. I hope we get to visit The Hollow again.
