GOOD MORNING
'Good morning peeps and hope your hump day is going well. Today I have for you the newest book by VJ Lee, DECK THE HALS.
BOOK BLURB
Halston (Hals) Armond’s Christmas story is not a sweet, blissful tale of pleasant, happy times filled with light, love, and laughter. His story is one of haunted dreams, memories of blurred evil images, and the dark corners where monsters lived. Now that the monsters from his past have been kind of vanquished, it’s time to go after the Devil the monsters sold him to, even if that means using the Devil’s daughter against him. Hals will stop at nothing to put his painful past to rest, and realizes this could be his last Christmas … and well, he’s made peace with that.
Bliss Murphy is her father’s right-hand woman, working for the family business … the same business she vowed to tear apart. Her mission is to save every soul her father has bought and tortured. Her first save was her hardest to get over, and every day those blue eyes haunt her—more than anyone knows. When her father forces her to work alongside the man she saved, she’s not sure if it’s her heart that she’s worried about losing, or revealing all her secrets and losing everything.Tuesday, November 29, 2022

BOOK BLURB
After returning to Woodfall Gath and Nicolo learning the truth about what I am and what I was sent to the Gath to do, I find myself in a grave situation…
‘Grave’ as in I’m being sent to the castle dungeons where I’ll be left to rot.
Or worse.
One thing every assassin learns early on is never to get caught. And if you do get caught, get out.
So, that’s exactly what I do. And when I escape, I find myself landing in the hands of one very unlikely ally—Duke Wylder.
Now helping to lead Wylder’s rebellion against King Balduin, I’m also firmly on Nicolo’s opposing side.
And while I want to believe that the Nicolo I loved in Simnel is still somewhere within ‘The Terrible,’ and I want to trust that Nicolo will see the wrong in Balduin, I might be making a huge mistake.

GOOD DAY ALL IT IS TIME FOR BOOK EIGHT
Good afternoon peeps, it is time for book eight in the reader round up. Today I have for you the second book in the Les Voleurs trilogy ANDREAS by Dixie Painter.
BOOK BLURB
Welcome to Les Voleurs. Step into the world of the deadly Syndicate, joining them in the beautiful country of Belgium. Follow them from Brussels to Antwerp and places in between. Take a forbidden journey into the dark, dangerous life of those who live by their own laws.
They say to “give the Devil his due.” Well, I’m the collector. The Devil’s Chief Enforcer. I belong to the Les Voleurs Syndicate by blood, oath, and loyalty. My responsibilities are many, but keeping the Baas, and his new wife safe is at the top of my list. To do that, I have to finish eradicating the last of the snakes that make up the Lefevre Syndicate. I can’t afford any distractions in my life. I definitely can’t have the kind of distraction that comes in the form of a blond-haired, blue-eyed angel. Falling in love was a luxury; I didn’t have room, or time, for luxuries in my life, no matter how tempting he was.
At 30, I’d left behind the family spotlight for the title of Chef de Cuisine at a 3-Michelin-Star restaurant in Belgium. I’d earned my place at the top and I had a life I enjoyed living; until I was almost murdered outside my restaurant one night. Then he came out of the darkness. My very own dark angel. I don’t fit into his world, but I do fit into his arms. I’m under his protection until he says I’m safe. Maybe it’s the adrenaline rush of staying alive, but I don’t think I want to leave him. Is he worth the risks that come from stepping into the dangerous world of Les Voleurs?

GOOD MORNING ALL
Good morning peeps today I have a new series for you from Hp Mallory and J.R Rain. SHOTGUNS AND SHIFTERS book one in the Trailer Park Vampire series. This is not included in reader roundup.
BOOK BLURB
The day the red fog rolled in, everything in Windy Ridge changed.
Neighbors and friends I’d grown up with got turned into wolfmen, lizardmen, gargoyles, and other unmentionables.
As for me? I got turned into a vampire.
Most folk thought the rapture was upon us but soon it was fairly obvious that we weren’t playing witness to some holy event. In fact, I was fairly sure we’d just witnessed something mostly unholy.
Regardless, life in our little town in the middle of the Ozarks returned to what passed for normal.
Until two human outsiders rolled into town.
Because I was one of few residents who still appeared human, I was responsible for making sure the town went into hiding until them humans moved right on out again.
But what I wasn’t planning on was the fact that one of the strangers was none other than Dean Hawke, a man I hadn’t seen in twenty-three years—a man who also happened to be my high-school sweetheart.
But wait. There’s more…
Not only had my ex-boyfriend walked right back into my sorry life, but he was also the newly appointed ‘Sheriff of Windy Ridge’—and his first assignment was investigating accounts of a naked man who was terrorizing locals.
Now if that weren’t enough to ruin a vamp’s day, Sheriff Dean Hawke had, like George Clooney, only gotten better with age, and I was pretty sure all those real deep looks he kept giving me had their own kind of meaning.
But between trying to keep the town’s secret under wraps, spearheading my own investigation into the naked man with a bunch of hillbilly monster chasers, working my shift as a waitress at the local diner, and trying to smother my ardor for a certain human sheriff, I’m thinking life might be easier if I packed up my daughter and caught the next train to Transylvania, leaving Windy Ridge far, far behind.

IT IS TIME FOR BOOK SIX
Good morning my peeps, today I have a great mystery book for you today. CAN'T STOP THE FUNK ( book 3 in the Detective Cadillac Holland Mystery series) by H Max Hiller.
BOOK BLURB
The hurricane that riveted the world's attention has become the recovery nobody cares about. Five years have passed since a wall of water tried to wash away the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans, and now the plans of a handful of real estate developers is threatening to finish the storm's displacement of the city's poorest residents. NOPD’s Chief of Detectives wants to know who is trying to buy the new home the Make It Right Foundation built for his favorite sous chef. Chief Avery is willing to risk the unintended consequences of having Detective "Cadillac" Holland find out who is behind the offer. It’s an election year and condominium developers and the local king of gentrification have the backing of the district's City Councilwoman. It’s up to Detective Holland, despite his ‘talent’ for making a mess of things, to find the justice in something that isn’t even a crime while he avoids stirring the city’s treacherous political waters.
MY REVIEW
In the aftermath of hurricane Katrina detective Holland is working on who is trying to buy the home that was built by a relief group. Chef Avery is ready to let Cadillac find out what is going on. It is time to get to the bottom of what is going on, even in an election year. It is time to find out what is going on while not trying to get involved in the murky political waters of New Orleans.
In book three of the series, we find detective Holland taking on the political agenda. Cadillac is a laid-back kind of guy who would sometimes just wants to hang out at his restaurant eating good food. He can figure out what is happening by just talking to the person over a good meal. He has a knack of knocking people off kilter with just a smile and a good talk. He has so many people around him to help him out on his cases. The characters are well constructed and complex.
This is one of those books that when you sit down to read be prepared to be lost in the story. I couldn't put it down until I got finished and that meant a very late night reading in bed. The characters are well written and complex and the story flows well. I love how the author uses the backdrop of New Orleans and the hurricane Katrina disaster. New Orleans is like its own character in the story. There is also a lot of talk of food and eating throughout this book, so have a snack with you because you will get hungry. This is a series is a fun read that will have you on the edge of your seat throughout. Check it out if you want a good detective book.

BOOK FIVE OF READER ROUND UP
Good morning all my peeps, I have a mafia romance book for book five in the reader round up. DAVET (Les Voleurs trilogy) by Dixie Pointer.
BOOK BLURB
Davet de Wees
I govern Les Voleurs Syndicate with the same harsh rules and code of honor that have governed my life since I was a kid. I worked my way from the streets to this place of power, and now the respectability of my syndicate is at stake because I am lacking a wife. I’ve reluctantly agreed to entertain the thought, but I don’t want a vapid piece of arm candy that was traded in marriage to strengthen bonds with another syndicate. However, when Liliane Lemaire appears with a proposition I can’t ignore, I find myself drawn to the beautiful woman, tempted by all she can bring me. But trust is something I don’t often give, and I’m worried that she’s going to lead me down a dangerous path, one that can ultimately destroy me.
