MY REVIEW.
This is the second book in the Shaw Case Files. I was excited when this book came out . All the characters back and chasing another serial killer. Who is making wax statues out of men an posing them all around the city. They are still reeling from the last serial killer and the new one springs up . Kissney an Levi are fighting an uphill battle and need to find the killer before more people go missing . There is a lot more personal stuff going on in this book also . Kissney is torn between two men . She doesn't know what to do or if she should have either of them. Now will she find the new killer and will her personal life straighten itself out before it is too late .
All the original characters are back , Kissney is the tough detective that will not take any shit from any man. But sometimes in this book she seem to me to be a little whiney and a little dependant on the men in her life . She is such a bad ass woman I wanted to see more bad ass . She does not fail in tracking down the serial killer and does put the men in there place a time or two. Levi is her partner and he is love with Kissney and is trying not to be such a dick in this book . They work well together and rely on each other a lot . Levi does a lot of growing up in this book and we see him taking charge and care of Kissney more and more . Now Kane the other man in Kissney's life is all alpha male and ruggedly good looking . He is a special ops guy that ends up going on assignment and well lets just say when he comes back he isn't such a nice guy. I must say that the characters were well written and they all come with their own set of problems that they must all work out . Which makes them likable to everyone .
The author has found her niche writing mystery novels . She kept me reading all night long . The story was great and the premise of the hot wax was a great new way to murder people. To make pieces of art out each and every one was just great . But I did kind of feel a disconnect with the characters in various parts of the book . I just couldn't connect with them in some parts, maybe it was just me though. Over all I loved this book and the author kept me reading all night long . The twists and turns will keep you guessing . Trust me I thought I had it all figured out and then bam the author takes us in a totally different direction . The person I thought was the killer wasn't the killer at all . Which hand me reeling going WTH it has to be this person . Trust me you will be going omg and wth through out this book. I recommend this book for those who love a good read that will make you think . it could give you a book hang over .

WELCOME TO MONDAY ALL
Welcome to the Monday after Easter , I hope that you all have recovered from your food comas and looking for a great fast read to get you through the evening. . A BITE OF FROST by Gena D Lutz is just that book.
BOOK BLURB
After Jericha Frost is thrust into a paranormal existence she knows nothing about, she learns that the scorching blood from an infuriating dragon-shifter is her only hope of survival.
MY REVIEW
This a winter/ Christmas novella that revolves around Jack Frost and his daughter and the hot dragon guardian named Conner. We start the story as we find that Jack frost's time as the ice king is coming to an end and he must transfer his power of the winter to his daughter . Jericha Frost is in for a surprise when she gets whacked in the back with the bolt that Jack sends her . Now she has to contend with all these supernatural powers and also hot blooded dragon shifter who is her mate . Will she come to her senses and realize that the dragon is her only one an only and that he can save her before its too late .
The characters in this novella are different . We have Jericha who is a mixture of quirky and seriousness. She is independent and really doesn't want to have anything to do with Connor. She is taking her new powers in stride but soon realizes that she needs and wants more . Connor is one hot as sin alpha dragon . You don't know if you want to yell at him for his over bearing ways or climb him like a spider monkey cause he is just so damn hot . He is a blue dragon and a guardian of an ancient blade. He is the epitome of hot male and realizes that he just can't take . You see him change to a more caring man towards the end of the book . I can't say anymore cause I am so not giving spoilers . But you might want to take a second look at Santa too cause boy oh boy he isn't your kids Santa Claus .
This is a fast read , you can read it in one night . I really loved the premise of the story and the characters are awesome . I laughed and snorted at the antics of the three elves . They were hilarious . I just wished that it was just a little bit longer , I wanted more of Connor an Jericha . really wanted to see them go at it. Over all I really enjoyed this novella and laughed and cheered as I read. So if you want a nice fun quick read check it out .

GOOD MONDAY MORNING ALL
Good Monday morning all , today we are going to review a quirky good read by Robert Garner McBearty . Welcome to THE WESTERN LONSOME SOCIETY
BOOK BLURB
In this hilarious, poignant, over-the-top Western, Jim O’Brien writes the quixotic saga of his ancestors who grew up with a tribe of Comanches. As his grip on reality loosens, O’Brien weaves into the tale modern day stalkers, drug dealers, secret agents, strippers, a mad linguist, an imaginary therapist, Ernest Hemingway, and an RV trip through the soul of the West. Having been displaced, each of the characters must embark on the great American quest for a place to truly call home. Evoking the Western drama of Cormac McCarthy, the family sensibility of Kent Haruf, and the wacky, magical humor of Christopher Moore, McBrearty displays his storytelling prowess and wit in his debut novel.
MY REVIEW
When I started reading this book I didn't know what I was getting into. But as I started reading I got sucked right into the story . This is one quirky funny read that will have you laughing out loud at some of the things that happen . I love the main character in this story and how he weaves the story of his ancestors in with the story of his life.
The main character Jim O Brien is a college professor who has been one upped by a student . His literary aspirations are getting the better of him as he tries to write about his ancestors . But as you read you find him start to loose grip with reality and then that is where the hilarity commences . Between reading about his ancestors living with the Comanche's and Jim mixing the stories with what is happening in everyday life . Jim is hilarious and you want to hug him and laugh with him as he handles his mind .
This actually has three stories within one. The author takes us on a hilarious ride through one man's crazy brain . You will laugh so hard in some parts . This is the first novel I have read from this author and I was quite happy with the outcome . I loved every second of this book . So if you want a quirky read that will keep you entertained until the end . Check it out

WHAT WOULD YOU DO
Good morning every one hope you all survived ST PATRICK'S DAY yesterday. I was reading all day long . I couldn't put this book down. EMANCIPATION by Jo Michaels is one of those books where you think to yourself what would you do.
BOOK BLURB
Tobias Butler has been sitting on death row since being sentenced for a gruesome murder in 2007. Bored out of his mind, he decided to apply to the online pen pal program in 2012. It's a pleasant distraction--nothing more, nothing less--for three years, until he's contacted by a beautiful, smart young lawyer named Jess. She's convinced he's innocent and wants to see him freed. As they organize their attack on the judicial system, he wonders how she plans to get his conviction overturned--because he's guilty, and he knows it. Jess is desperate to release him--and he's desperate to feel his hands squeeze the life out of her once she does.
*Bonus Read Inside! Get the entire first part of Dark Bishop, Pawn, by Casey Bond and Rachael Brownell!
Recommended for 18+ only for strong language and sexual situations.
MY REVIEW
Wow is the first word that comes to mind when I read this book. It started out as a criminal and lawyer book with the young lawyer finding some new evidence and the death row inmate that wanted out . This is the story of Tobias and Jesse . Tobias is on death row for murdering a family , and he is bored and wants out . Enter Jesse a young lawyer who wants to help him out . They meet via the pen pal program . They work tirelessly to get him out , but oh there is so much more to this story then him getting out of jail . Will they both survive the ordeal .
I couldn't believe how complex these characters were . Tobias is not your run of the mill inmate . He is a conniving sob that just wants to left alone. He is such a asshole, you really want to just string him up by his fingernails . I was actually really creeped out by Tobias . He gave me the wiles from the very beginning of the story. What he did to end up there , I was actually cheering that he was behind bars . Then in walks Jess a young lawyer and a woman. She seems to be very naïve at the beginning of the book, she seems to buy into all the lines and lies that Tobias is telling her . As we read more into the story you see there is something stronger and she is hiding a few secrets of her own. They are great characters with such great flaws.
I couldn't put this book down , I was on the edge of my seat all the way through . The author takes us on an emotional journey. The story is not your everyday happily ever after book. It has so many twists and turns. When you think you know which way the book is going bam the author takes us in a totally opposite direction. There never is a dull moment in the book between trying to figure out Jess is up to and wanting to strangle Tobias. Which for me was every other page it seemed . But the twist the author put in at the end blew me away . I never saw that coming at all and was floored but happy when I read it . I was so blown away by what the author did at the end that I actually cheered for her . I will tell you this , this isn't you happily ever after , there is lust blood shed and redemption and revenge . You will get a book hang over reading this book so be prepared to curl up and read the day away .
