Beaglemania

If you loved Linda O. Johnston's Kendra Ballantyne pet-sitting series, you'll enjoy her newest series, which is a spin-off from them. In Beaglemania, the first installment in the Pet Rescue mystery series, Kendra did make an appearance in here, when he focused on pet rescues in a no-kill animal shelter. Lauren Vancouver was a single mom with two kids in college and worked as Hot Rescues, a no-kill animal shelter, as the administrator. It all started with a puppy mill rescue and a heated confrontation with Ephram Kiley, who made trouble than inroads with the people there. After his vile threats to them, Lauren found him there. We watched how she her discovered the body and other startling surprises, when the police suspected her. But she figured out who wanted to do her in and had killed him. We do see how she loved to care for animals who needed a new home and saved them from imminent danger. She was an underdog you'll be rooting for, as she's no ordinary heroine, while there was a surprise love connection for Lauren.

This was a charming new pet-friendly cozy series from Linda Johnston. I cared about Lauren and her co-workers at the no-kill animal shelter. I also loved the Los Angeles location in this series as well, especially learning the ins and outs of the pet rescuing business. My heart warmed to the animals that were mentioned in the series. This would make you want to rescue pets too and get into the business.  This would warm your heart with a smile and cherish this new series, too. Great drama,  real good action with tons of non-stop action and intrigue to solve this cozy mystery.

The Darkest Night

In Gena Showalter's The Darkest Night, the first installment in the Lords of Underworld seris, we were introduced to Maddox, a Hungarian immortal lord with a death-curse to suffer the same death he gave Pandora when he killed her. He wasn't alone when his friends shared the same cursed fate, when they carried the spirits from Pandora's Box and shouldn't dare unleash them. When Ashlyn Darrow entered his immortal world, it changed everything about him. She befriended the lords and then fell for Maddox, while she tried to understand him and his friends, while she carried her own secrets, like hearing voices of others from close by. We saw how they struggled their own worst fates with each other, while the Hunters were after them and reunited with former foes. In the end, Ashlyn made a special sacrifice to change everyone's world. This was super well done and got the highest rating from me.

This was a terrific paranormal romance debut in the Lords of Underworld series.  I cared about Maddox and the other Lords and Ashlyn, too. They were some special and unique about them that brought them together. I loved the Hungarian location and the fantastic settings in the series, especially in Prague. I didn't like the Hunters, when the Lords had dealt with their own twisted fate. This would make you cringe and  root for Ash, Maddox and the others, when they suffered horrible fears. Great drama, terrific romance and plenty of non-stop action and intrigue in this great novel.

The 9th Girl

In the 4th installment of the Kovac/Liska series, The 9th Girl, which happened years later since the last book, this dealt with real life everyday events that happened close to home. It was New Years Eve, when a dead body was found bouncing out of a car trunk. It was so unrecognizable, it looked like a zombie. It was now up to Kovac and Liska to identify her and find out what happened to her. We also would go into their minds and see what they dealt with as they believed it could be the ninth victim of a serial killer. While they do it, Liska's son Kyle was having his own life issues at home and being bullied at a special school for gifted students. This also dealt with cyber-bullying of sorts as well. When they worked this case, therewas a serial killer on the prowl and made his next move to his next victim. While they questioned the victim's family and friends, they go back and forth on doubting them. This book had a shocking ending that you wouldn't see coming to leave you breathless. This is so well done!

This was an excellent thriller. This dealt with hard core issues that's so on the news these days. I loved the pairing of Kovac and Liska, when things have changed over the years for them. I loved how it was after the holiday season and took place in a cold Minnesota winter. I didn't like how the victim was bullied and was killed either. I loved how it focused back and forth from Liska's home and career, when it dealt with the same subject matter. This would send chills down their spine. Great drama, excellent action and suspense, and a great mystery wrapped up in a thriller.

Wyoming Fierce

In Diana Palmer's Wyoming Fierce, she wrote a heart-warming story about two people who were lost and needed to find their way. Bolinda "Bodie" Mays was a college student studying anthropology in Montana and lived with her sick grandfather in Wyoming. Their neighbors were the Kirks who lived on a horse ranch and were also friends of the family. When Bodie's grandfather was sick, they were strapped for money. We saw how Bodie dealt with their dilemma with pawning family jewels and looking for work. But when her stepfather Will Jones had his way, he wanted them removed from their family home and evicted off the land. But he was one sick person and had a sick porno obsession. And there was Cane Kirk, a war hero who lost his arm fighting the battle, and dealt with the loss. He was on a path for self-destruction and needed Bodie by him. After the loss of her grandfather, Bodie needed the Kirks more than ever. Little by little, we saw how strong they both are, while they've found their way to each other's heart and to a future. Simply wonderful!

This was a wonderful contemporary romance to warm your heart. I cared about Bodie and Cane. This tugged at my own heart-strings, when I cried throughout the novel, and sighed in the end. I loved the dual locations of Wyoming and Montana for this novel's settings.  I loved the beautiful backdrop of the settings, which was real visual and majestic, too. Beautiful drama, great romance and tons of action and intrigue along the way.
