Perfect Timing
In the 11th installment of the Kendrick/Coulter/Harrigan family series, Perfect Timing, Catherine Anderson wowed us with another timeless and classic love story for all time. Nonetheless, it' was beautifully written and magical. This one was a tear-jerker, so bring a hanky with you. When Quincy's sister-in-law Loni was real sick with a rare form of Leukemia, the family needed a miracle to come into her life. And that's when Ceara O'Calleaugh came into their lives, a 15th century Druid from Ireland, who time-traveled in the nick of time to break the family curse of the first wives in their family throughout the hands of time. But Quincy wasn't a believer in her story. When she came close of dying, they urged Quincy to marry Ceara and perform miracles. And after they did, she took us through a journey of love to withstand the hands of time, when she changed his life for good. Very moving through Quincy's and Ceara's scenes. Do you believe in the power of magic? You would in this new story.
This was one of my all-time favorite Catherine Anderson's contemporary romances. This would make you believe in magic, miracles and love, even if you were a non-believer. This made my heart sigh and take a big breath. I loved how this focused on the time-travel angle with Ceara's entrance into the modern world of Oregon, USA. I instantly fell in love with her character and believed in her. I liked the pairing of Ceara and Quincy, when they performed magical love together. This would tug on your heart-strings for sure. I couldn't find anything to find fault with this magical story. Great timeless romance that was packed into this novel with good drama and lots of intrigue.

Blood Vines
Erica Spindler thrilled and chilled us, once again, in Blood Vines. Alex Clarkson had been experiencing haunting nightmares from her past childhood. It'd been buried in her deep subconscious. But this all started, when a baby was found buried in a vineyard in wine country. It connected the case to a 25-year-old disappearance of a baby. She was thrown in a mystery of family secrets of her mother's life, while she searched for the identity of her father. And when she arrived in wine country, danger and death followed her. We really could see Alex struggling with her own identity and her past, while she found new relationships of another kind. And someone had it in for her to stay silent on what she knew, while she reconnected with her family and found new love with Dan Reed. And the closer to the truth of what happened back then, she was closer to go into too deep to remember...
I love the backdrop of wine country in Napa California. I really felt sorrow for Alex for losing her mother and then learning about her baby brother's death. We really do get adsorbed in the storyline and learn lots about the wine-making process in a factory. I was proud of Dan by sticking by her side and defying his parent's orders, since it would brought up trouble. I was glad she found her birth father and her half-sister in the end and had gotten justice for her brother's murder. The scenes in the caves at the winery were hard-hitting and disturbing, but powerful, too.

great elements in this dark thriller. Darby McCormick is a crime scene

Bad Love
If you love the earlier classic Alex Delaware novels, this one is another good mystery from Jonathan Kellerman. It started with a child's voice on a tape, mentioning about "Bad Love." That sent Alex on a journey all over California, searching for answers, while he worked on another deposition for another case, when it got heated up. We watched when Alex discovered the connection between the symposium and the murders that happened over the years. And then he realized his life was endangered as one of the last targets, when someone came after him and Robin. We were on for a wild ride, when they connected the dots in a strange line of "suspicious deaths", which it wasn't as it appeared. And it was even more stranger that it looked with a wicked twist at the end.
This was a wacky and wild classic early Alex Delaware mystery. This one had a mysterious backdrop on someone seeking revenge on past psychologists. I continue to love how Alex interacted with Milo and with the police. I liked his relationship with Robin and her love for guitars. I didn't care for much as how they were killed, which was pretty much disturbing to me. It sent me the chills. The California backdrop from Los Angeles and all the way down to San Francisco was pretty much amazing in my book. Great drama, intense action, and plenty good stuff for a good mystery to read.

Wild Wild Death
Welcome to the Wild Wild West. In the 8th installment of the Pepper Martin series, Wild Wild Death by Casey Daniels, this one took Pepper straight across the country. Unemployed in Cleveland, a mysterious postcard was delivered to Pepper. Her friend Dan was kidnapped. And the ransom was Chester Goodshot Gomez's bones, an Indian who was cursed by the Cleveland Indians, since he died in Cleveland. This took Pepper to New Mexico and some parts in Colorado to find him. But things had gotten difficult and interesting for her, when she ran into Jesse, the Taopi tribal police, with a tender love affair. She'd gotten tangled into a web of deception and mixed up plots, when her life dangled on the line. An enjoyable paranormal cozy.
I loved how the setting moved over to picturesque New Mexico and Colorado from ordinary Cleveland, Ohio. This one told a different tale with an century-old ghost with a baseball mini twist. There was a bit of a mini love triangle to Jesse, when I knew her heart belonged to Quinn. The American Indian storyline gave it some kind of appeal to it. I enjoyed the entire series and this book's storyline.

Fireproof
Best-selling Alex Kava brought FBI Agent Maggie O'Dell back into her toughest case yet. Maggie recovered from her injuries in the past case and had a lot to deal with at home. A serial arsonist was taking the homeless, leaving a trail of dead bodies in its wake. It was up to her and Julia Racine to find out who he was. And on the scent of the trail, she went after him. But he wasn't who you expected, when you were this close to the fire. He had a particular interest in her and trying to ruin her family with her mother and her half-brother Patrick. And things do get personal. In Fireproof, the 10th book in the Maggie O'Dell series, we rooted for Maggie on the case, when things do scratch the surface in Virginia and Washington D.C. Danger loomed closer to Maggie than ever. Lots of drama and heart-pounding, thrilling action.
I really enjoyed this stand out thriller. I loved how we get to know more about Maggie's brother and his firefighting background. We can see how close she was to her mother and understood more about Patrick. This arsonist plotline was red-hot and fiery at the same time. I loved how she thought fast on her feet and acted upon impulse. When she was on the trail, I became worried about her. But this gripped me from the beginning and made me hold my breath, more than once.
