When not reading romance, I love me some mysteries! I usually stray into cozies with pun titles, but been known to enjoy a good detective novel too. All Sinners Bleed was my first read from S.A.

There is a lot of social conflict between Humans and Therians, and this translates to prejudice […]

A Midnight Puzzle is mostly a cozy mystery with the main investigator being a disgraced professional magician who came home to work at the family construction company which specializes in things like hidden doors/staircases and other sort of magic themed set ups. As with most mystery series, this one has both the first murder (and a related disappearance), as well as a longer running one which is always in the background. Tempest, her family, and friends are all fun characters with their own quirks who […]

This book was so incredible. If you liked The Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley, Looking for Smoke goes hand in hand as another novel where a teen girl has to figure out what is happening in her community.
