No Spoilers...Ummm, ok WOW! Page turner alert! Woot! Woot!I started reading this book with little hope of being entertained. Probably because of a recent run whereby I'd select a book to read from my TBR pile (To Be Read pile), only to wonder why I'd purchased it in the first place, and how it had ended up in my TBR pile. It wasn't long before I found myself, quiet happily deeply immersed in the story as it was unfolded before me. I can state quite unequivocally, that I've found a new author toBook Info: Genre: Humorous Mystery (view spoiler)[with paranormal aspects (hide spoiler)]Reading Level: AdultRecommended for: Fans of mystery series with spunky heroines who have zany adventuresTrigger Warnings: Really big jerk co-worker (sexist, smarmy butthead), missing children, child murderMy Thoughts: I moved this series into my review queue based upon Kriss Mortons enthusiastic recommendation. I had picked up each of these books as they went on promotion through KDP prior to these
I didn't get more than about a third of the way through this novel; the problem is that the plot was so frustratingly mediocre, even poor in many ways, that I could not understand how it gets such positive reviews by so many people.The book is narrated by the main character, Violet, and it starts out with the, "oh, life is so haaaaaarrrrrd!" refrain and never stops.[1] She has "cutely" disobedient children that know that they can push her around by whining until they get what they want. She has
I have to start by saying my whole reason for reading this book was because it was set in South Dakota and that is where I live. That being said this book was fantastic. It is about a single mother with 9 year old twins who recently moved to Deadwood for a fresh start. Her kids are hilarious and a handful, her job isn't going anywhere, and she is making some pretty odd friends.The mystery was very, very easy to solve. Way too easy. I still enjoyed the book though. So much so that I ordered the
I finished the book, but I can't say I'd recommend it to many people I know. The main character was a bit mary-sueish (yes, I realize the heavy accusation that holds) and as I went through the book, I was beginning to wonder if there were any man in Deadwood that didn't want to sleep with her (view spoiler)[(Let's see, Ray, his nephew, Doc, Wolfgang, Jeff... yes, that is literally every man that wasn't a waiter in the book that wanted to nail her)... I seriously think the only one that didn't
One of the most refreshing books I have read in a long time! The one thing that puts this paranormal investigative book at the top of my list is the characters are not only loveable, they are real! They are not perfect in body and form, they have some extra padding, some extra scars, are not always pleasant but loveable because they are real! Violet, the protagonist, has had twins and we she has that baby fat and craves ice cream loves daisy's not red roses. She is not the perfect height, does
This one was interesting and entertaining. I deducted two stars because the actions of the characters were jarringly unrealistic. There is only so much allowance for dramatic license in a story that is supposed to be taking place in a realistic, normal setting. The first three-fourths of the book was good and probably rated 4 stars. The one negative was the constant and decidedly lame sexual innuendo that formed a good part of the dialogue. I have no problem with sex in my books (love it, in
