A second and third helping for the Noodle Shop mysteries

Dim Sum of All Fears by Vivien Chien

Murder Lo Mein by Vivien Chien

December 28, 2022 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

When work is stressful, I unwind often with a cozy mystery. Vivien Chien’s Noodle Shop mysteries really hit the spot. Last year, I reviewed the first novel, Death by Dumpling for CBR 13. The series follows Lana Lee and her family’s noodle restaurant in the Asia Village shopping center. She stumbles upon a murder and helps the cute detective, Adam, solves the case. It’s a similar formula in the next two novels in the series. It was easy to go back into the series months […]

A talking cat + groomer mystery duo

Mimi Lee Gets a Clue by Jennifer J. Chow

December 28, 2022 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

Mimi Lee Gets a Clue by Jennifer J. Chow is the first book in her Sassy Cat Mystery series. As a big fan of cozy mysteries and cute animals, the adorable illustrated cover sold me instantly. Mimi opens a grooming shop called Hollywoof. She hopes to cater to the dog clientele of Los Angeles. Even though it’s clear that Mimi prefers dogs, her sister gives her a fluffy white cat. He is aptly named Marshmallow. Quite soon, Mimi starts hearing Marshmallow talk. She thinks she […]

Finishing up The Brown Sisters’ Trilogy

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

December 27, 2022 by teresaelectro 2 Comments

After reading Get a Life, Chloe Brown, I knew I just had to read the trilogy by Talia Hibbert. I often buy books and forget I own them. So I was delighted when I discovered I already owned the second novel, Take a Hint, Dani Brown, as an e-book. Thanks past me! Chloe’s sister Dani aka Danika is the lead in the second novel. She is a bisexual professor who has given up on relationships. She broke up with her ex-girlfriend because things were getting […]

To Thine Own Self Be True

All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson

December 26, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

All Boys Aren’t Blue is George M. Johnson’s memoir manifesto. I’d been hearing about it since it was tragically banned in way too many US states. Well, jokes on those haters who are way too obsessed with censorship. It was picked in September for my Mocha Girls Read book club and our Cannon Book Club. Through a series of essay chapters, we learn about George’s life from childhood to now. We learn about their identity issues that started with their name. In early childhood, the […]

I wasn’t ready for the Alex Craft series to end.

Grave War by Kalayna Price

November 14, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

CBR14 Bingo Square: Shadow I’m a big fan of witches and magic mysteries, so I got immediately hooked on the Alex Craft novels. In book one, Alex uses her magic to raise shades, which aren’t quite ghosts. More like the memory imprint of a person after they pass. It’s a very handy skill to have a shade testify in their murder trial. Alex has been quite a few personal revelations, a love triangle, and an angry fae queen by the time we reach the final […]

A slow burn romance with a deadly telekinetic and a wolf alpha.

Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh

September 14, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo: Cold I’ve been tearing through Nalini Singh’s Psy Changeling novels. Kiss of Snow is the tenth book in the original series. Using this for the “Cold” square due to “Snow” in the title. But also down to the cold nature of the Psy in this world. I highly recommend you read the other nine books before this one. The tension between the love interests has been building across multiple books. So many fans say this is their favorite one. The hype level was […]
