Dead Light District

In the 2nd installment of Jill Edmondson's Sasha Jackson mystery series, Dead Light District, Sasha took on a most difficult case. It all started out as a missing persons case, when Sasha searched for Mary Carmen, who worked at Candace Curtis's bordello. From there, it took a nasty turn there, when Mary wanted to leave Canada and head back home to Mexico. She left a bloody path in her wake. Besides almost being hit by a car and two people attacked on the case, it might be connected. That's when Sasha went undercover as a hooker to look for leads to get caught up with her. And when she died, she ended up fighting for her life to solve the case. Plus Sasha also scored a date with her new boyfriend Derek. 

This was a charming new mystery series for me to read. I cared about Sasha and her friends. I also felt the same way for Candace. I pitied Mary Carmen who killed two people who got her in her way. I didn't like her too much. I loved the Canadian locations in this series from one town to another. This had bits of humor like a chick lit novel and plenty of charm like a cozy mystery combined. This would make you take a deep breath and let it go in the end.

It Must Be Love

In Rachel Gibson's contemporary romance novel, It Must Be Love, it told us a story about two people who were meant to be together. Detective Joe Shanahan came from a big Irish family and wasn't looking for love. When he went undercover for the Coeur d'Alene's PD's Property Crime Division, he came across Gabrielle Breedlove, who worked at the store Anomaly with her business partner, Kevin Carter. They first met at accident, but then he needed her to bring her partner down as his confident informant. Between of two of them, sparks soon to fly, when they fall in love, and got to know each other better. When the big operation went down, they needed time to declare their feelings for each other and love each other forever.

This was a delightful contemporary romance from Rachel Gibson. I did begin to care about Gabrielle and Joe, and their families, when fate and love brought them together. I didn't like what Kevin did to Gabrielle, when they worked together as Joe stuck to his guns. I loved how it was set in Boise and Coeur d'Alene Idaho for the settings of this romance novel. This would make you love and cry and root for Joe and Gabrielle, too. Great drama, nice non-stop action and romance, and plenty of intrigue to give them a happy ending.

Criminal Confections

In the first installment of Colette London's Chocolate Whisperer Mystery cozy series, Criminal Confections, we were introduced to Hayden Mundy Moore, a chocolate whisperer in the world of chocolate-making. When she was a consultant for the Le Maitre Chocolate retreat convention in San Francisco. But not everything's so sweet for Hayden's experience. First her first close friend, Adrienne, was poisoned by something in her drink. Then one of the chocolate company's rivals was accidentally killed and fell off the cliff. Now it was up to Hayden to find out what was going on in the company, when she learned secrets and lies and vicious rumors. She needed her friend Danny as her bodyguard and advice from her boss Travis on the phone. The closer to the truth she had gotten on who was the killer, the more attempts were made on her life. This was a new delicious new culinary cozy that featured chocolate recipes, a real delectable treat.

This was a fun new culinary cozy series to enjoy. I cared about Hayden and her chocolate whisperer title. I love that title for this series as well. We learned a whole lot about the chocolate-making world for candy and for desserts in general. I loved the chocolate retreat in San Francisco for the location of this scenery. I also cared about the Le Maitres and loved her sexy talk with her boss, Travis, on the phone. Great drama, excellent suspense and action with plenty of chocolate-loving mystery to keep you hooked right up to the end.

Special review: Intern from August 2008

In this stellar stand-alone thriller novel from Bonnie Hearn Hill, Intern, this story was similar in nature and ripped from the news headlines. April Wayne was a 23-year old young woman who interned for the senator and had it all, when she had a promise of love from a married man and threw it all away. Later when she disappeared, the senator became the main suspect. This story was two from two POVs, April's mother Gloria, and the senator's wife Suzanne. Gloria would do anything to find and save her daughter, while Suzanne would learn the shocking truth of her husband and might not stand by her man.

This was a gripping stand-alone thriller, when it dealt with the deadly gamble of love, murder and politics. I did care about April and Gloria, not so much the senator and his wife Suzanne. I prayed for her safe return and unharmed. I loved the political theme to match wits with the California location.  This would make you cringe and cry a couple of times. Great drama, good action and suspense with plenty of thrilling intrigue and mystery along the way.

Special review: Cutline from January 2009

In the 2nd installment of the Geri LaRue thriller series by Bonnie Hearn Hill, Cutline, Geri La Rue returned in this thriller to solve another thrilling crime. When her fellow colleague and friend, Leta Blackburn, was missing, it was up to Geri to look for clues to find her. She would've been covering this sensational story about a priest and his sexual activities at the time of his murder. But a ruthless colleague tells Geri she knows more than she does admit. That's when she goes to see Malcolm Piercy, a psychologist, to help her get into the mind of a female serial killer who leads her victims on and believes her victims are in love with her. While he kept his theory a secret, he agreed to help Geri out, while a killer was watching for them.  She wanted to write one more cutline, before she became the next victim of the Razor Killer.

Although I didn't read the first installment, If it Bleeds, and skipped it, I hope to read the beginning of Geri's story someday. This was another gripping storyline dealing in the journalistic world. I did care about Geri, since she was someone different, someone we can look up and admire, since she was hearing impaired. I did become circumspect on Malcolm and his true intentions with her, though it lead to a blooming relationship. I did like the San Francisco setting for the location of this thriller. This one left me with chills and shivers up and down my spine. Great drama, excellent intense suspense and non-stop action, and a gripping thrilling mystery to the end.

Special review: To Die For from October 2008

In the first installment of Linda Howard's Blair Mallory series, To Die For, we were introduced to Blair Mallory in this two-part romantic suspense series.  Blair Mallory was pretty, confident, and a successful owner of a fitness center. But a troubled club member had a strange fixation on Blair and imitated her style, until Blair witnessed the horror of her being shot. When the media speculated about the homicide, that's when she locked horns with Police Lieutenant Wyatt Bloodsworth. He wanted to lead the investigation without interference, but Blair wanted to search for clues on her own. But when Blair received menacing threats, Wyatt took notice and did anything to protect Blair from the killer.

This was a gripping romantic suspense. I did care about Blair and became worried, when someone imitated her and then later threatened her. I did suspect that the sparks would fly between Blair and Wyatt at some point.  I did like the fitness center theme and the small town location for this series as well. This would leave you speechless and shake your head in maddening disbelief, too. Great drama, good suspense, and plenty of non-stop action with hints of romance through and through.

I Can See You

In the 10th installment of Karen Rose's romantic suspense series, I Can See You, she turned up the heat in this fantastic romantic suspense. For Eve Wilson, she had been scarred for life from what Rob Winters did to her, six years ago. She was still afraid from him. But while she worked on her psychology study into Shadowland, a virtual reality role playing game online, things become complicated, when a couple of her test subjects ended up killed by a mad man known as the Red Dress Killer. For Noah Webster, a member of the Minnesota Police Department's Hat Squad, someone was after him with cold-blooded revenge. But when he required Eve's help as a CI into the murders, the feelings towards each other were mutual, while he was still haunted by the deaths of his wife and unborn son.  For both of them, they both had to dodge their stalkers and fight to survive and be together.

This was another fantastic romantic suspense from Karen Rose.  I really cared for both Eve and Noah, who both were haunted from the ghosts of their past. But I really was glad for them to get together, when the sparks were flying between them. Carleton Pierce was a real sicko. But I'm glad she had her friends with her and her own little "family". I loved the St. Paul, Minnesota location for the entire series.  This would leave you numb and shocked speechless from start to finish. Great drama, excellent non-stop action with sparking romance, and great tons of intrigue to keep you in suspense.
