The Spook Lights Affair by Marcia Muller & Bill Pronzini

Earlier this year I enjoyed the first Carpenter and Quincannon Mystery novel, The Bughouse Affair, by authors Marcia Muller and Bill Pronzini. Set in 1800’s San Francisco it features two detectives and the cases they encounter. I was thrilled to enter their world once again in the Spook Lights Affair. While each can be read as a standalone, there are overall arc threads. Mini review: suspenseful, and engaging with spirited characters. A thoroughly entertaining mystery.

Holiday Games by Jaci Burton

While looking for a holiday read, I stumbled upon this yummy cover for Holiday Games by Jaci Burton. Not realizing this was a novella for the Play by Play series and decided to read it. While the tale was sweet, hot and filled with holiday cheer, my enthusiasm for the err cover and lack of research may have hindered my enjoyment. These characters are clearly established in previous books, and we just jump into the tale. Mini review: sexy, hot and sweet but I didn’t connect.

Christmas in Snowflake Canyon by RaeAnne Thayne

Christmas in Snowflake Canyon while the sixth book in the Hope’s Crossing series by RaeAnne Thayne worked lovely as a standalone. Thayne delivered a heart-warming, rip your heart out and make you fall in love romance that twisted around my heart. Filled with unique characters, hope, growth and joy she made me laugh, cry and believe. Mini-review: romantic, heart warming with complicated characters you just want to embrace.

Fatal Tide by Lis Wiehl

From the East Salem setting to the strange prophecies and the engaging characters, I have been enjoying the East Salem Trilogy by Lis Wiehl. I was more than a little excited to read Fatal Tide the conclusion and to see how it all turned out. Steeped in religion, evil, greed and mythological beasts this final chapter had me flippin the pages as we loomed towards the final battle. Mini review: fast-paced, edge of your seat action with a side of romance.
