GOOD ATERNOON PEEPS

   WOOHOOOO this is the last book of my reader round up. Today I have book 6 in the Temporal Armistice series . THE PACIFIST'S DOOM by Matthew S Cox .


                             BOOK BLURB



 A desperate stranger dumping a dangerous magical weapon in Brooklyn’s lap isn’t the end of the world—it’s merely going to kill every living thing on the planet.

The world itself will be just fine.

This isn’t the kind of apocalypse she signed up for. Her idea of saving the world is much less do nothing at all. If she doesn’t destroy it, that counts as saving it, right? Alas, the ancient artifact isn’t very patient. The clock is ticking and it’s going to make her miss some serious couch time.

Problem is, the doomsday device doesn’t want to be stopped. It keeps slipping away from her. Even if she does manage to get her hands on it, the Philadelphia Fire Department hasn’t exactly trained her how to disarm ancient magical weapons of mass destruction. She’s going to have to improvise. What could possibly go wrong?

                         MY REVIEW 
  Brooklyn is at again, she is hanging out with Pandora and honestly really not doing anything. Until the day a stranger dumps a magical orb that is going to destroy every living thing. The clock is ticking and the orb is not taking any names . It keeps slipping away from her cause it doesn't want to be stopped and if she does get it in her hands she doesn't really know how to stop it. So improvising it is , I mean what could go wrong. 

    Brooklynn is proving to be such a fun read. She is the best of both worlds a couch potato who would love just having lazy days at home to the firefighter helping out fight the fires that are springing up around Philli. She even finds a baby dragon that was setting fires in a restaurant. . Pandora is a great combination of Brooklyn. She is sassy and sweet and always trying not to get into trouble . They both love their friends with a passion. And really don't want to start the end of the world . We also get to see more of Brooklyn's mom and dad in this one. This is a family that you want to read and get to know. 
  
  This is such a fun read , Brooklynn and the gang are back and stronger and funnier than ever. This author has such a great grasp on each character that makes them complex . The worlds he paints are so much fun and you get sucked in so fast . I mean we have magical beings popping up all over Philadelphia like babe dragons in the ovens and so many more.. This whole series will have you laughing and turning pages all night . Check it out you will love this series .

GOOD AFTERNOON PEEPS

   Good afternoon peeps we are getting closer and closer to the end of reader roundup. This afternoon I have for you book 4 in the Burnt Ends cozy mystery series . SEARED REVENGE  by Erica J Whelton.


                             BOOK BLURB



 When the annual Hill Country Thunder Rally brings three thousand bikers to Prairie Rose, Jackie Prescott and Lauren Benoit are ready to serve the biggest crowd Charlie Joe's BBQ Shack has ever seen. But the rumble of engines soon turns deadly when a body is discovered at the Iron Wolves campsite, and the murder is just the beginning.

As rival motorcycle clubs point fingers and old feuds resurface, a second victim falls. Then a third. The killings are connected to a disbanded club called the Lone Road Riders, whose treasurer vanished three years ago with $47,000 in stolen funds. Now someone is eliminating everyone who knows the truth about what really happened.

With the FBI descending on their small town and the killer still among the rally crowd, Jackie, Lauren, and Melody must navigate a dangerous web of embezzlement, faked deaths, and bitter revenge. Complicating matters, their estranged mother Dawn has arrived on their doorstep with nothing but a small suitcase, humbled and seeking a second chance. The sisters cautiously put her to work at the restaurant, where Dawn proves surprisingly capable, though her old habits around attractive men threaten to cause problems with the motorcycle clubs.

The rally coordinator is hiding his identity. A terrified witness holds explosive secrets. And threatening messages make clear that asking questions could be fatal.

As the sisters dig deeper into the past, they discover that some debts can never be repaid and some secrets are worth killing to protect. When the final confrontation comes, the family will need all their courage to survive a killer who's been planning revenge for three years.

In Prairie Rose, the road to justice is paved with smoke, secrets, and the ghosts of crimes that refuse to stay buried.

                          MY REVIEW 
  The ladies are back and busier than ever , the big biker rally is only a few days away and the gang are working 24/7 getting ready and testing recipes for the breakfast burritos. Everything is going good there have been a few mishaps when the bikers get there. Like an over flirty mother oh and murder of three bikers that have happened around the campground and well by the dumpsters at Charlies restaurant. The gang need to keep a sharp eye out and survive the week . All good plans always come with a side of crazy family. .  There is also a romance blooming between Police chief Ray and Lauren which is so sweet.
      The ladies are back and having the best time ever working together. Jackie is still keeping everything together and Lauren is working hard and they are living the dream Melody is in school and thriving . We have Dawn thrown into the mix , she is well lets say she is trying some days are better than others but over all she is trying. . We also get to meet some very fun bikes that are all sweet and caring . I truly love these characters are like coming home by this time. Each of them is like a member of the family . 
   This is the fourth book in the series and I really liked a lot.  There is a lot that is going on and when you figure out you will be like oh wow how did the author do that. This is a fun cozy mystery that does pack a lot into it.  You know things continuously change but also stay the same . Every member of town is there to help you out when you need the help. So grab a sweet tea and snuggle down for a fun read .

GOOD MORNING PEEPS

  Good morning peeps, yes I will tell you that reader round up is slowly winding down. Three more days of books for you all . Today I have book 3 in the Burt Ends series . MARINATED LIES by Erica J Whelton. 


                            BOOK BLURB



                              He returned with lies. They came with consequences.

When Melody's long-lost father walks back into her life after twenty years of silence, she knows something doesn't add up. Ryan's carefully crafted story about reconciliation has too many holes, and his suspicious questions about the restaurant's operations suggest motives that have nothing to do with family.

Jackie and Lauren thought they'd faced the worst Prairie Rose had to offer. They were wrong. Because Ryan didn't return alone. He brought a million-dollar debt to a Chicago-based criminal organization, and those debts are collected in blood.

As a parade of suspicious investigators descends on Charlie Joe's BBQ Shack, each with their own agenda and questionable credentials, Charlie Joe's nieces must determine who's legitimate, who's compromised, and who's working directly for the criminals hunting Ryan. When the danger escalates from surveillance to direct threats, they realize they're not just dealing with one deadbeat father's mistakes. They're caught in the middle of an organized crime operation that views them as collateral damage.

With Sheriff Ray Martinez coordinating federal assistance and Melody's brilliant analytical mind working overtime, the family races to uncover the truth before Ryan's past destroys their present. But in a game where every investigator could be an enemy and trust is a luxury they can't afford, survival means making impossible choices about family, loyalty, and the price of protection.

In Prairie Rose, some family reunions are better left uncooked, and some debts demand more than money can pay.

                     MY REVIEW 
 The ladies of Charlie Joe's BBQ Shack are back with more going on then they can handle . When Melody's dad walks into the restaurant and wants to reconnect with the child he walked away from twenty some years ago. Jackie and Lauren are against it but Melody and her analytical mind want to figure out who her dad is and why he left her. But wait there is more going on than a reunion. Ryan seems off and then all the other people coming in casing out the restaurant. Can't figure out who is real or an enemy. With the help of Ray the police chief and Melody's mind and critical thinking the real reason will come to light and the family will need everything in their power to survive this one. 

 Lauren, Jackie and Melody are back the ladies have grown so much and become such a close knit family along with Jovi and Emma. They keep the restaurant running and the people fed. They have grown closer and stronger the more they are together .  Police Chief Ray is a sweet but tough man. He only has eyes for Lauren and wants to keep her and the others safe.  We get to meet two new people . Ryan , Melody's runaway father. He is kind of shifty and really doesn't have anyone's best interest at heart. He is well he is just not evil but will call him misguided , We also get to meet their mom at the end of the book and boy I can't wait to read what is up with her . She sounds like she is going to be a mess and I am there for it. Each character is well written and I can't wait to dive back into them. 

  This is book 3 in the series and honestly it gets a little dark with lots of suspense, deception and conspiracies.  The author takes us on a roller coaster ride that had me flipping pages all night. There are still some light hearted scenes to go along with all the suspense. This is a fun series that will have you cheering for the good guys and also kinda hungry by the time you are done. Oh I forgot to mention that the author posts a recipe mentioned in the book at the back of the story. There are some good recipes there. So if you want a fun book check out this series . I do suggest read the books in order to fall in love with these ladies .
