The Shop on Hidden Lane by Jayne Anne Krentz is her newest paranormal romantic suspense novel, and while it is loosely tied to the Fogg Lake series, it is a standalone.

I love Kelley Armstrong’s A Rip Through Time series featuring twenty-first-century detective Mallory who finds found in 1869 Edinburgh, in the body of Catriona Mitchell, a housemaid working for Dr. Duncan Gray, a pioneer in forensic science. Kirkyard & Kindness is a novella in the series and just the thing to hold me over until the next full-length novel in the series.
Cheater Slicks by Hailey Edwards is the fourth audiobook in the Body Shop urban fantasy series. Narrated by Candace Joice, Matty has lost his soul, and Frankie returns to New Orleans to find answers in this intense installment that left me craving the next installment.
