Crimes and Covers by Amanda Flower is the fifth book in the A Magical Bookshop mystery series and it's the book I been waiting for since I started this series.  Though I liked how the book ended I do hope it's not the end of the series and Violet's mystery solving. I loved this book and series because of the bookshop setting and the little bit of romance. I am one of those cozy readers who enjoys a bit of rom com with my mysteries.  I look forward to the next book by Amanda Flower and hopefully the next book in the A Magical Bookshop Mystery series.

Murder by Bookend by Laura Gail Black review

 Title:  Murder by Bookend

Author:  Laura Gail Black

Ch: 28

Series: Antique Bookshop mystery 2

Genre:  Cozy Mystery

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Crooked Lane books

 

Murder by the Bookend by Laura Gail Black is the second book in the Antique Bookshop Mystery series and I enjoyed this one more than the first. And I think it's largely do in part to the fact that the characters and the setting have been established and the the heroine Jenna  isn't' the prime suspect. Not to mention a sweet little dog name Eddy short for Edition.  To me Eddy stole the book, and I look forward to more books in the series.

Deadly Ever After Review

Title:  Deadly Ever After

Chapters: 25

Pages: 298Series: Lighthouse Library Mystery #8  

Genre: Cozy Mystery

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Crooked Lane Books

 

 

Deadly Ever After by Eva Gates is the 8th book in The Lighthouse Library mystery series. Lucy has settled into life in Nags Head and her parents are finally accepting her choice when someone from her past shows up to try to get her the change her mind.  And Lucy again finds herself involved in another murder mystery. But at least this time the lighthouse library isn't involved.   For once with this series I did not see the twist coming nor did I figure out who did it before Lucy did.

 

And I have to say Charles the library cat still remains my favorite character in this series and he once again does it by showing what a good judge of character he is.    But Lucy's, Charles and the rest of the library staff's futures are changing and I can't wait to see where it takes them.

A Death Long Overdue review

Author:  Eva Gates

Ch: 26

Series:  A Lighthouse Library Mystery book 1

Genre:  Cozy Mystery

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher:  Crooked Lane Books

 

A Death Long Overdue by the Eva Gates is the 7th book in the A Lighthouse Library mystery series. And even though it's fictional I love the whole library in a lighthouse, and Charles the library cat is still my favorite character.  I love that Lucy's finally settled into life in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. 

 

With this being the 7th book in the series it's hard to describe much without giving to much of the plot of previous books.  But I do have to say something happened in this book that I've been wanting to happen since book four.   So I am defiantly looking forward to the next book in the series.

Series: An Enchanted Bay Mystery book 1

Genre: Cozy Mystery

Rating: 3.5 stars

Publisher: Crooked Lane Books

A spell for trouble is the first book in the An enchanted bay mystery series by Esme Addison. And while it wasn’t my favorite cozy it was still an enjoyable read. I loved the small fictional North Carolina beach town. The coast of the North Carolina is one of my favorite setting for books.

Alexandra Daniels finds herself back in Bellamy Bay her mom’s hometown and not only discovers she’s descendent from mermaids and is a witch but finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery. In which her aunt is a prime suspect she’s determined to clear her aunts name. But does that mean she’ll become the killers next victim?

This book was a quick read for charm and I’m not going to lie gave me Practical Magic vibes. I am looking forward to the next book in the series as well as other books by this author.

This book is a good book for readers who like a little magic with their cozies.

Read and Buried Review

Title:  Read and Buried

Series: Lighthouse Library Mystery book 6

Genre: Cozy Mystery 

Rating:4 stars 

Publisher:  Crooked Land Books 

Read and Buried by Eva Gates is the sixth book in the Lighthouse Library Mystery series, and I keep enjoying the series. Who wouldn't love a library in a lighthouse?  I still have to say that my favorite character in the series is Charles the library cat. 

This cozy just like the previous ones in the series the book club book pick has aspects of the story that play apart in the mystery that Lucy keeps finding herself trying to solve even though she keeps promising that her mystery-solving days are behind her. We all know there not.
