Murder Does Not Take a Vacation

A Share in Death by Deborah Crombie

July 30, 2023 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

Detective Superintendent Duncan Kincaid was looking forward to a nice vacation in the country after a rough case.  Thanks to his cousin, he’s got a spot at a timeshare in Yorkshire and plans on enjoying his holiday.  Unfortunately, he’s barely been there a night when one of the staff is found floating dead in the pool.  As much as Duncan knows he should stay out of it, when the local investigator starts the case by dismissing it as a suicide, Duncan can’t help but get […]

Fast, Fluffy, and Fun

Go Hex Yourself by Jessica Clare

June 25, 2023 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

Reggie assumed the ad she answered for a Spellwork assistant had something to do with the Spellwork card game.  She didn’t expect it to be acting as an assistant to a slightly dotty old woman who thinks she’s a witch.  But it pays amazingly well, so Reggie is willing to put up with Dru, even if her obnoxiously cute nephew doesn’t approve of Reggie.  Ben Magnus is a five hundred year old warlock who would really like his aunt not to hire a new familiar […]

Paperback cover for the book A Court of Thorns and Roses

An Inauspicious Start to a Series

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

June 4, 2023 by Kit Moonstar 3 Comments

When Feyre kills a wolf while hunting to keep her family alive, she sets in motion a chain of events that leads to her living amongst the Faerie in order to protect her family.  It doesn’t take long for Feyre to realized that there is something sinister lurking that may be a threat to the Faerie and humans alike, and she might hold the key to save them all from doom. It took me a while to get into the story, in part because I […]

Cover for the book Crown Duel

Unprepared Heroine Does the Best She Can

Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith

June 4, 2023 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

Note: The version I have is two books Crown Duel and Court Duel published together with a short story/epilogue.  There will be minor spoilers for Crown Duel because you can’t talk about Court Duel without them. On his deathbed, Meliara’s father tells her and her brother that the time has come to enact their plan to oppose the king whose greed is leading the country to disaster.  However, nothing is as easy as planned, and Meliara quickly finds that her lack of education about anything […]

When Tansy made up a fake girlfriend based on a romance novel cover model to get her family off her back, she never expected the woman to show up at a wedding she was attending.  But not only does she play along with Tansy’s lie, but she ups the ante, announcing that they’re engaged.  Gemma needs a spouse in order to receive her inheritance, and Tansy needs funds to keep her beloved family bookstore from being sold to a megacorporation.  A marriage of convenience suits […]
