CHARMING CHAPTER:

A Later-in-Life Just Kisses Romance

LORI HAAS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

I read so few books as quickly as this lovely romance, which is what they call in the trade "A Chic Book." It is a fast-moving love story about a sixty-year-old named Laura, who retakes a chance on life after joining Babes Book Club.

Club members pressure her to enjoy life after the death of her husband, which kept her in a rut for several years. She travels to England to inquire about her family ancestry.

While pet sitting, yes, pet sitting, she meets a man. And everyone who reads a romance novel knows what is coming.

However, the obvious is not in Laura's cards. That adventure is worth reading this well-put-together short novel.

Review of HIGH NOON

HIGH NOON

A Brookhaven Cozy

Mystery Book 1

S.E. BIGLOW

Review by Author Roy Murry

In this paranormal mystery, a woman, Darcy, a chameleon, and a ghost acquire magical powers. Many other witchy characters live in the American town; Darcy, an Englishman, moves there to develop her skills.

A newcomer arrives and becomes friends with Darcy and her apothecary boss, Sage. Unfortunately, the new arrival is found dead in the trunk of the car Darcy is driving.

With the help of her colorful witch friends, Darcy goes sleuthing against the Shariff's wishes. The twists and turns, combined with her new-found witchcraft, bring this mystery to a near-deadly ending.

The writing is crisp, and the well-developed characters will pull the reader into book 2 of this series.

Review of SCHOLARSHIP GIRL

SCHOLARSHIP GIRL

Shadow Academy

KAT COTTON

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Cherry has unusual powers to develop as a paranormal. She can hide in a room full of people and has unused strengths.

She and a scholarship group of vampire-killing characters (Witches, faes, werewolves, and others) are protecting an elite academy. Their amusing behaviors make for enjoyable reading, which includes a love-hate relationship between Cherry and Ren.

Overall, this first in a series of young adult novels includes everything needed to keep the reader wanting more. KAT's writing does an excellent job of bringing it together with some errors.

This story ends with a big bang, and a young adult will read more; the older adult will not. It was fun as it lasted.
