I read the first two in this series and was more than ready for this third book. Memories of Summer Camp led me to the first book and let me tell you – my camp experience pales in comparison. Nothing this exciting ever happened. In Book 3, the author takes us back to Camp Whispering … Continue reading Running Scared (A Shepard & Kelly Mystery – Book 3) by Benjamin Bradley
Book Series
Chasing the Edge (Cari Turnlyle Series #1) by Leslie A. Piggott
This first book in a new series has everything needed to get me hooked. The main character, Cari, is a fledgling journalist covering the local sports scene.

Set in a university town, the reader is … Continue reading Chasing the Edge (Cari Turnlyle Series #1) by Leslie A. Piggott
Deadly Keepsakes: A Tori Winters Mystery by Anita Dickason
This author’s intense, highly researched thriller/mysteries are always at the top of my reading list. So when I learned she was branching into cozy mysteries, I paused. OMG – she nailed it. I love cozy mysteries but at times wish for a little something more – Dickason provided just that. With her usual well-developed characters, … Continue reading Deadly Keepsakes: A Tori Winters Mystery by Anita Dickason
Pixie Pricks by Winnie Winkle
This series never disappoints. Within two pages I am back in the rhythm of Patra’s whirlwind ducking zingers and chuckling at the snark. This is fun on so many levels. A quick read where the surprises keep coming. Every time I think this series can't get better, the author proves me wrong. Full disclosure here … Continue reading Pixie Pricks by Winnie Winkle
Music Shall Untune the Sky by Lou Kemp
Imagine being dropped into a hurricane. That was my first thought when I started reading. Speeding along on a bullet train (ok it's a coal run engine and the train is named Elizabeth, but still!) and appearing mid-scene I was hanging on. It took just a short amount of time for me to start putting … Continue reading Music Shall Untune the Sky by Lou Kemp
CHICKEN SCRATCH (The Sisters, Texas Series Book 1) by Becki Willis
I picked up this book a few years ago and it has patiently been sitting on my to be read shelf in real live paper form! Packing to take a trip, I threw it in my bag. Gosh, I wish I had not waited but I’m so glad I read it. It was a lot … Continue reading CHICKEN SCRATCH (The Sisters, Texas Series Book 1) by Becki Willis
Mimic: The Foley Chronicles: Files from the 8th District by Nathan E. Bush
This is the fifth book in The Foley Chronicles, and I have enjoyed them all – which is a weird thing to say since they can be a little gruesome and twisted. Take a look at this wonderful cover – and you’ll immediately be pulled in! This author has perfected the presentation of multiple narrators … Continue reading Mimic: The Foley Chronicles: Files from the 8th District by Nathan E. Bush
Speedo Down: The Record, Book 3 by Winnie Winkle
I am laughing and loving this series. Snarky, quirky, attitude, humor, a god in a speedo, a protecting cat that grows in size and ferocious faries – what more do you need? This is a series that you need to start at the first one and work your way through. There is so much to … Continue reading Speedo Down: The Record, Book 3 by Winnie Winkle
Salt Shaken: The Record Book 2 by Winnie Winkle
I am loving this series. At a time when the world is a little bonkers, it’s nice to read about someone who has even more crazy in their life. At least I don’t have to deal with werewolves! Patra is a favorite of mine. She handles things with grace and the right dash of snark. … Continue reading Salt Shaken: The Record Book 2 by Winnie Winkle
The Art of Betrayal (Kate Hamilton Mysteries #3) by Connie Berry
I received this book as a gift, and even though I have not read the first two, I jumped in on their recommendation. WOW – I thoroughly enjoyed the main character, Kate. The very light romance was handled perfectly. This intelligent woman was portrayed in such a manner that I seriously would like her as … Continue reading The Art of Betrayal (Kate Hamilton Mysteries #3) by Connie Berry
