CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS ALL OVER AGAIN AS EMLYN HELPS SOLVE THE MURDER OF HER EX AT A HOLIDAY PARTY TWAS THE SEASON BY SUSAN LYNN SOLOMON

Food, friends… and murder—how Emlyn Good celebrates Christmas!

“How do I get involved in these things?” Emlyn Goode asks.

It’s Christmas Eve. Instead of singing carols around a fire, Emlyn and Roger Frey are at the historic Echo Club for the Niagara Falls police precinct’s annual holiday celebration. Tonight there will be good food, dancing, and time with friends. A joyous night—that is, until the body of a man Emlyn knows too well is found in the Club’s stairwell. Now she refuses to rest until she figures out who killed him, and why.

But, each time Emlyn’s gotten involved in a murder, the killer has come after her. Can she find a clue in her ancient relative’s Book of Shadows before that happens again?

I don't know how she does it, but they keep getting better. "'Twas The Season" draws you in from page one. Emlyn Goode has quickly become one of my favorite characters. She, along with her bff Rebecca, and her particularly sarcastic cat Elvira have to get to the bottom of another deadly mystery. This book was so much fun. I stayed up way too late reading, as I do with most of Susan's books. I love the titles of the chapters and how they played into the story line. Another great whodunit from Ms. Soloman. Excellent read, and keep them coming!

Witchwoods Second Edition by Gary D. Henry

So, here's the thing...I read the first edition of Witchwoods years ago and loved it. I thought I was prepared. I was totally not prepared! I saw it coming, I swear I did, but I still jumped and cuddled like a cat. I was intrigued and just kept turning pages. What a joy to read a story that keeps me this involved.

As is par with a Gary D. Henry book, the beginning is more narrative. Henry uses this time to acquaint his readers with the background and histories of his most prominant characters. He also builds a very solid visual of the scenery so that it doesn't need to be overly emphasized during the action scenes. I already have the layout in my head and can run the characters just as quickly as possible through the terrifying events. Although supiorly frightening, I generally read it with a "this could never happen" Jason-ish viewpoint. And I so loved the ending. I was left wondering where Henry would take this story next.

Mari Collier is a masterful writer, character creator and story teller. This is my first of Mari's full-length books (I've read all her "Twisted Tales" books and loved them), and it won't be the last. From her startling beginning to her brilliant ending, I enjoyed the story of an amnesia-stricken man who crash lands on a foreign planet. Yet, some things seem strangely familiar to him, and he seems to know something about surviving in a foreign land. It's not until the very end that we discover his origins -- at the same time that he does. The book is fascinating in its descriptions and I followed with interest what happens. I highly recommend you read this! Mari ROCKS!

WHATS NOT TO LOVE! FOUR STORIES OF LOVE, NEW BABIES AND TREES! RELIGION OF TREES BY LISA



t
5.0 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2018

Lisa Borm’s novella Religion of the Trees is not what I had envisioned when I picked it up. But these four short stories that are tied together in that all the characters live on Harding Street.

Millicent, now an old woman, has an affinity for the trees, they offer her rejuvenation, vitality and a deep connection to life. She repays them by taking care of them, helping the young trees grow and, on the day, that a new baby is born on Harding Street, in the dark of night she plants a young tree on the families’ property. This tree grows with the child, bonds and helps the child find their path toward adulthood.

Ms. Borm has written these four short stories in such a way as to take this reader into the depth and breadth of the lives the trees touch. There is a depth of character, storyline, and understanding of the connection both nature and others bring to each of us that one would only expect in a wildly uccessful author.

The book is brilliant, rich in love, reconciliation, hope and is heartwarming. 'Religion of the Trees' was a profoundly enriching find. One that I will reread regularly.
I highly recommend this book as a powerfully told story and one that will stay with you long after you have finished. It will make you wonder what we as a society have lost when we gave up our connection to nature for the modern conveniences of today.

Shakazhan is the continuing saga of the Lone wolf series. Set in 3032 in deep space Wil VanLipsing and his wife Commandant Matilda are on the heels of Wills evil son John Riley whose ship has crashed on a remote planet. John has been assimilated by an evil race after injuries require some small modifications. The action ramps up as they must stop the evil race from taking over.
Written with the same wonderful characters as before including Mark Slatterly the group is drawn into battle with a few new surprises. What will Ms. Oakes think of next to entertain her readers with? I enjoyed this book just as I had with LONE WOLF. When you read this series you feel the camaraderie of the shipmates and laugh at the situations and enjoy the steamy romances. This series has something for sci-fi and romance lovers alike. There is plenty of action yet this book is aimed at an 18+ audience. I highly recommend the books to fans who like a bit of everything in a story.
