The line above from the synopsis, covers what this book is about. I’ve read Kelley Armstrong’s paranormal and fantasy books, first time reading a suspense and she didn’t disappoint!! 

The writing is clear and concise. At no point in the book, you are lost and that great be a of the timelines. 

Detective Mallory is our MC. She’s in Scotland to look after her dying grandmother. Things take a turn when she wakes up in Catriona Mitchell’s body in 1869!! A fabulous mix of Sci-Fi and fantasy!!

Book: Hot House

Publishing Date: June 15, 2022

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

Genre: Thriller, Suspense

This is the first time I have read this author and I can honestly say that I enjoyed her style of writing. 

Hot House is the first book in the E&A Investigations series. I went in blind and was pleasantly surprised. The fact that this is a series and I’m going to keep reading about the fabulous cast of characters. 

The mystery is solid. It teases with a bit of espionage and intelligence which in turn made it a great read!! 

Mari and Derek are our two MCs and one is a LAPD detective (former) and Mari is not only a former CIA but also owns an art gallery. 

The two were really good partners and had each other’s backs. Add in a great mix breed named Trevor, a Jack of all trades Buddhist Monk Duga and it’s pretty cool. 

An absolutely solid 3.5⭐️ read for me!!

If you want to meet these characters, I suggest you grab a copy when this book is available.

Genre: Thriller, Suspense, Family

This book was phenomenal!! Extremely well articulated and engaging!! It put me through the emotional ringer. 

The suspense is so good. It’s a story of family and secrets. Let me tell you, those secrets were heartbreaking. 

Joey Green is visiting his parents so his Mom could get a break from watching his father who’s sick. What a loving family the Green’s were!! 

A prominent man in the community is murdered. The police suspect and hound Marshal Green, Joey’s 75 year old, sick Dad!! 

How could it be that and aging, suffering from Lewy Body Dementia be a suspect?!! 

To know the answer you gotta read this fantastic book!! My first book by Matt Goldman and he’s got a fan in me!! 

Thank you NetGalley and  Macmillan-Tor/Forge books for e-ARC in exchange for my honest review. 

Last Call at the Nightingale

Book: Last Call at the Nightingale 

Author: Katharine Schellman

Narrator: Sara Young 

Publishing Date: June 7, 2022

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Genre: Thriller, Suspense, Historical Fiction

This was my first time reading the author. I was dropped straight into an underground dance club in 1924, New York. 

We meet Vivian our FMC and Honor Huxley, the dance club owner and her friend, Bea!! 

Vivian and her sister Flo were so good together. Grew up with nuns and they could kill for each other. 

Vivian finds a dead man in an alley and things escalate from there. The mystery was okay and I could tell who did it. Still an interesting read!!
