This was a sweet Halloween treat. I haven't read any of the other books in the  Morgan's of Nashville series, I'll Never Let You Go was able to stand all on it's own. Both Leah and Alex are likable characters.

I am compelled to find the rest of the series.

It took me a couple of chapters to get into this book. But, once it got rolling I was HOOKED.

It's been a year and a half after Jenni Beth's brothers death. And back home she feels her entire world is falling apart. Her parents are but shells of themselves, the families ancestral home is disintegrating around them and the families finances are non-existing. The only way she figures to fix  this is to go back home, fix the family home and run a business from it.

One big speed bump though, is Cole Bryson, whom she shares an unpleasant past with and whom she keeps tripping over.

Will her business pan out? Can she and Cole manage not to kill one another? Only one way to find out. Read it and find out.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend a night alone in a haunted house? Cold Alone is a look into the frightful night of one housekeepers ordeal.

While Cold Alone by Laura Benedict is such a fast read that it seems to end before it even begins, it is a heart-thumping good read. And once you are finished with it you can be thankful that more thrills can currently be found in two full length novels; Bliss House and Charlotte's Story.
Looking for a fast paced, breathtaking thriller? Then you need to read Hanover House. This novella is a superb introduction into this new series by Brenda Novak,

This novella centers around Evelyn Talbot who is not only a survivor of a serial killer, but is opening a level 4 maximum security facility to study the minds of the psychopath.

I received this copy of Accidentally Hers by Jamie Beck from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I wanted so much from this book. But, it just never caught my attention. It is a nice, quick romance.

I really did try to read this one. It should have been a nice quick read. But, it just wasn't there. I won't give up on Jamie Beck I know she has it in her. But, this one just fell short of my expectations.

I'm not saying that you won't be enraptured by this tale, it just wasn't my cup of tea. So, please do give it a try.
Jingle Bell Harbor by Tracy Brogan is a fantastic, fast talking novella full of a sweet romance, fun characters and catchy zingers.

If you are a fan of fast talking Characters with a dry sense of humor, that talk fast like the Gilmore Girls, then please give this book a try. I think you're gonna love it. If you're looking for a book full of scandalous moments and erotic scenes, you will want to pass up on this book.

Review of Frozen Charlotte by @alex_bell86 with @stripesbooks.

Ouija boards, ghosts and antique porcelain dolls. I'm not sure more needs to be said. But, I will go on. Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell is a chilling tale that should be read on a cold and stormy fall night. It's a perfect October read.

I received this copy of Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
Last night I just wanted to read a couple of pages of the latest book that I added to my Kindle.
Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell. It is a young adult novel, but in my honest opinion I believe that just about anyone is going to find this one creepy. In a good way of course. Seeing as how I love a good creepy book. I guess there is just something about old fashioned porcelain dolls.

Needless to say I didn't put it down last night like I'd meant to. No, instead I read 75% of the book. Guess I'll finish it today and start Christmas at Evergreen Inn afterwards

While I am not too into cozy mysteries there are a few authors out there that write them that I cannot resist.

One of them is Leigh Perry and her series about Sid the Skeleton and Dr. Georgia Thackery.

The Skeleton Haunts a House is the latest installment and one that I loved.

below is my official review.

I received this copy of The Skeleton Haunts a House by Leigh Perry from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. There is just something about Sid the skeleton that I cannot resist. This series is an excellent example of what a cozy mystery should be.

As always I was grabbed at the beginning of the book and held captive till the very end.

While this is part of a series, The Skeleton Haunts a House stands on its own feet if you've never read one of the other books.

Just watch out for Sid's antics, you don't want to get caught laughing anywhere inappropriate.
