It was a cute cozy mystery ultimately solved through a photo. I thoroughly the cast of characters in this small town and was delighted by the photography theme. It felt a little repetitive through the middle, but I pushed through cuz I had to know who done it. A cute, fun read. ...more

I got so excited when I saw another one was out. The FMC, Scharlotte (and no, I still have no idea how to pronounce her name!) has become so popular the people of the future want to make her president. With a detour to the future version of Jurassic Park and some adventures with her sentient ship, Gordon, you’ll love how this all plays out!. But please be sure to read the other ones first or this will make no sense. I laughed out loud so many times. My favorite part is the slang language used in the “future” and I find myself wanting to incorporate these words into my vernacular. Such a fun series! ...more

It was like three books in one told with multiple POV’s and gripping stories. So twisted and tangled. I loved the gossip girl vibes and college setting. It reminded me of Felicity with way more angst. It was a long one, but I really enjoyed it. ...more

Loved the undercover DEA agent’s storyline and how it all came together in the end. Mobsters and MC’s and drug dealers. And boy was it spicy! A couple gut-punching scenes, but overall I really enjoyed the story. I loved that it was a dual POV so you got both sides of the dynamic, and the emotional tug-of-war was so well written. ...more

Such a sweet story. Single dad and his favorite country star fall in love? I’m here for it. I loved the spice in this one. The truck scene?! Yes ma’amSuch a sweet story. Single dad and his favorite country star fall in love? I’m here for it. I loved the spice in this one. The truck scene?! Yes ma’am. And getting to listen to the songs in the book was such a bonus. The talking parrot, Cherry was the side character I didn’t know I needed. So memorable. I really enjoyed this one. Elise Silver does it again....more

It was so freaking good. Might just be my new favorite love story. And Evie is my new hero. Her journey is so powerful and excruciating and sweet. She made me laugh and chuckle and smirk and grin and feel and root for her and my heart broke for her over and over. The love story slow burn/realization along with all the magical creatures (a frog who communicates with signs and a dragon named fluffy?!), and this has jumped into my favorites list without a second thought. Cannot wait to see what happens next. The twist had me shook!...more

I love every year getting to dive back into the time traveling world Jodi has created, and this offshoot focused on side characters from previous novels was a delight. Smallhope and Pennyroyal have been favorites of mine since they arrived on scene, and getting to hear their backstory and their side of so many adventures through the years of St. Mary’s was so much fun. ...more

A fun continuation of the first novel with a completely different mystery to solve. I didn’t track this one as well as the first, so was quite delighted by “who done it” in the end. And the epilogue was my favorite, especially listening to the audiobook. I like this playful way of telling stories where the author tells you how the story is going to go as you’re reading. It’s a neat mechanism that I really enjoyed in both books....more

If you know me, you know I love a time travel novel. And this one had a mystery and a love story. I loved all the twists and turns and how it all came together in the end. The themes of friendship and family and finding the people you’re meant to do life with (even across time and space) were woven throughout. I loved the character journey that Aleeza went through in stepping out from under her old best friend’s wings and creating a life where she was accepted and loved for who she really was. And yay for high-tech time loops and throwbacks to some of my favorite time travel movies. It’s giving 2024 “Lake House” and I loved it. ...more

An adorable enemies-to-lovers story with a cruise ship and an adorable small town as the backdrop? Sign me up! The two main characters put their grievances aside for a week of fake dating that turns into more, surprising them all. I loved the banter, the history, the small town, and the poor girl getting a sunburn. It felt so real. Can’t wait for more from this small town. ...more

A therapist and a younger guy with a traumatic background? You can guess how good that works out. I loved how the characters from the other two novels popped in and out of this story too. Had me really thinking about my own relationship with social media and this idea of performing for others. Love the idea of no-phone parties and want to see if my friends would be up to try it. This couple’s chemistry was so good and I loved the pet adoption side plot. ...more

Loved this fast-paced thriller romance. This is fast becoming my favorite kind of novel - a mystery to solve, high stakes, with love and life on the line. I enjoyed the characters in this one a lot and felt the romance was believable and was totally rooting for them. I gasped out loud three times and my husband laughed at me, so it was good one. ...more

Really enjoyed the audiobook narrator and the Australian accent, which brought authenticity to the story. I figured out who the killer was, but didn’t know WHO they were. That was a unique twist! ...more
