Catch Her Death (Bree Taggert #7) by Melinda Leigh

 

 

Blurb:

Sheriff Bree Taggert and those she loves become the target of a family’s deadly revenge in a chilling novel of suspense by #1 Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh.

After Sheriff Bree Taggert’s takedown of cold-blooded murderer Travis Ekin, his family vows revenge. Travis’s mother and brothers are every bit as violent, and Bree is in their crosshairs.

To complicate matters, Bree’s best friend, Dana Romano, walks into her date’s home and finds him shot in the chest. Dana tangles with an unidentified intruder, but he escapes through the back door. The crime scene is in another police department’s jurisdiction, and the lead investigator focuses on Dana as the prime suspect.

While Bree and investigator Matt Flynn work off the books to clear Dana, Bree’s family receives deadly threats. A second dead body and a shocking piece of evidence link the two cases. Bree and Matt must find the killer fast—before either case takes another deadly turn.

 

My review:

Sheriff Bree Taggert is back in another brain twisting case where Bree’s best friend, Dana Romano is the prime suspect. Bree knows that Dana wouldn’t have done it but can’t intrude on another cops case. But when the case she is working links to the case Dana is accused in she must find the killer before they kill again.

I love watching Bree grow as a person. She is the consummate cop but raising her sisters kids and her involvement with Matt have forced her to widen her life to more than the job. A fantastic addition to the series.

Wild As a Wolf (SWAT Book 15) by Paige Tyler

 

Blurb:

Nothing is more powerful than a werewolf—excerpt perhaps a mighty warrior.

Nothing surprises SWAT alpha Hale Delaney—he’s seen almost everything since he became a werewolf. But when he goes head-to-head with Dallas’s newest supernatural villain and is saved by the woman he loved and lost a decade ago, his world is turned upside down. Karissa Bonifay has always been fierce and capable, but now she’s a sword-wielding warrior in her own right.

The more time Hale and Karissa spend together hunting the dangerous supernaturals terrorizing the city, the closer they come to the truth about what really came between them all those years ago...

 

My review:

WOW! Wild As a Wolf is a fast paced second chance romance with bite. Hale and Karissa have survived dysfunctional families, turning super natural and 10 years apart but they have never stopped loving one another. Now once again they are in the same place, have resolved unanswered questions about their separation all they have to do is survive the big bad that is determined to kill them. This book kept me flipping pages and praying for them. I LOVED IT!

Wrench (Rolling Thunder MC Birmingham Book 6) by Candace Blevins

 

 

Blurb:

A motorcycle club kinky daddy paranormal romance…

Wrench recently moved to the Birmingham RTMC chapter from Mobile after his sister went through a nasty breakup and needed him. He’s good friends with Khan, who has more house than he needs, and who welcomed both Wrench and his sister to live with him.

The nearest neighbor is two hundred yards away, but with the help of his werewolf hearing, Wrench hears a ruckus, goes to investigate, and finds an all-girls party happening with an unwelcome male guest. He runs the asshole off, and his neighbor invites him to hang out for the rest of the party.

Tori, short for Victoria, long ago stopped using her trust fund, and eschewed society and all forms of materialism. She lived without electricity for so long after the battle, now that it’s finally restored, she still doesn’t have it. Her small house is paid for, and she makes enough money finishing sheetrock a few weeks a year to pay for the food she can’t grow or kill. No attachments, no outside responsibilities, and that’s the way she likes it.

Until the biker from next door comes into her life and throws everything upside down. How does he know she’s always wanted a daddy, but is too scared to let one all the way into her life? And how does he manage to do just that before she even realizes he has?

 

My review:

This is not your fluffy, sweet occasional otk spanking DD/lg age play romance.

Once again Candace Blevins takes a trope and sets it on its ear.

Wrench is not your typical DD. Besides being a bitten werewolf he has a bit of a sadist in him that I wasn’t prepared for. It hit me harder than the brutality of Khan and Tempe. I loved Tori she is learning who she is and who she wants to be. Watching her on her journey made this book worth the read.

Witches Get Stuff Done (Starfall Point #1) by Molly Harper

 

 

Blurb:

Juggling newfound witchy powers, a house full of ghosts, and verbal battles with the handsome local librarian is almost too much for a new witch to manage. A new witch with a coven, however, can get so much more done...

From the moment Riley Everett set foot in Starfall Point, magic bubbled inside of her. But with only her late aunt's journals and a cantankerous live-in ghost butler to instruct her on all things witchy—including her newly inherited Victorian haunted house—Riley seeks out a coven for sisterhood and support. The last person she expects to be drawn to is the town's frustrating, yet ridiculously attractive head librarian.

Edison Held knows almost everything there is to know about Starfall Point, but Shaddow House was always off-limits, thanks to its elusive owner. If he can convince the new owner, Riley, to let him take a peek inside, there's so much he could learn. But as he gets closer to Riley, he's fascinated by her dazzling wit and fiery spirit. Edison will do whatever he can to help Riley keep her family legacy alive, especially if it means spending more time with the captivating new witch in town.

 

My review:

Witches Get Stuff Done is a delightful first in what is sure to be hilarious set of tales from Starfall Point. From inauspicious beginnings to barely holding her own Riley is sure to make you laugh and gigglesnort. She takes whatever life hands her and makes it work for her. I really got a kick out of this tale and look forward to the next adventure.

All the Dead Shall Weep (Gunnie Rose #5) by Charlaine Harris

 

 

Blurb:

#1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author returns with the fifth installment in the bestselling Gunnie Rose series as sisters Lizbeth Rose and Felicia as well as brother Eli and Peter, are reunited in Texoma only to break apart before the Wizard’s Ball held in San Diego, which will determine all their fates.

Following the murderous events of the “gripping…thrill-ride” (Karin Slaughter) Serpent of Heaven, Lizbeth Rose is awaiting the arrival of her sister Felicia and her husband’s younger brother Eli in Texoma. Both needed to leave the seat of the Holy Russian Empire in San Diego after Felicia’s burgeoning wizardly power in death magic became the reason for kidnapping and assassination attempts from her mother’s family of high-powered wizards in Mexico.

Yet bad news has traveled ahead of them, as Eli is called back to San Diego, taking Peter along with him, splitting them apart in more ways than one as their enemies’ plans for revenge come to fruition. In this fifth installment in the beloved and bestselling Gunnie Rose series, #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Charlaine Harris has crafted a family drama of murderous and magical thrills.

 

My review:

All the Dead Shall Weep has half sisters Lizbeth and Felicia teaming up against bad guys of all stripes while dealing with personal and political problems. Felicia is apparently a hot commodity as she is young, pretty and has very strong magic. Lizbeth is learning that not all problems can be solved with a gun.

I enjoyed this fast paced installment and anxiously await the next installment. I heartily recommend reading this series in order.

A Grand Midlife (Witching After Forty, #17) by L.A. Boruff and Lia Davis

 

 

Blurb:

Ava Walker: Mom, Bonus Mom, almost-mother-in-law, and soon-to-be grandmother! The entire Howe-Harper-Walker clan is through the roof excited for Michelle and Wallie’s baby.

Nobody more so than Lucy-Fur.

In the midst of all the last-minute baby preparations, Zoey faces immense familial challenges of her own. After receiving a mysterious message from her cousin, Zoey goes on a journey to learn about her family and pride. Ava is at her side every step of the way.

Not all of the news is good.

Ava and Drew are determined to help Zoey and Larry find out what happened to Zoey’s parents. Zoey’s uncle, a gigantic man with an easy smile, doesn’t quite seem to be who he says he is. Could he be hiding some big clue that will help solve the mystery of Zoey’s parents’ deaths?

Only time will tell.

Sam and his new psychic powers would be very helpful in digging to the bottom of this if only they could pull him away from his own family research…With Olivia spending so much time dealing with her family, Ava’s support system is rather scattered at the moment.

Oh, well, Ava can always call on her friends to help if push comes to shove. After all, what’s the point of knowing the ruler of hell, ruler of the vampires, ruler of the hunters, and being the most powerful necromancer in the world if Ava doesn’t use those connections?

 

My review:

Another manic adventure Ava’s life and world. This is a non-stop adventure with giggle cupcakes, a talking cat turned chicken, family dysfunction, surprises and a baby on the way. I laughed and giggled and spit my coffee. A fantastic addition to the series and a rollicking good time.

Dragon’s Little Minx (Bratburg Daddies Book 1) by Cooper McKenzie

 

 

Blurb:

The director will see you now...

Getting dragged in front of The Council and threatened with the retraining program at Bratburg Institute would be a nightmare for anyone else. For Talia Bowersox, however, the institute represents something far different.

Sanctuary.

Finally safe from the daily cruelty of her family, she finds her inner strength...and her inner brat. The latter lands her in front of the sexy, strict director of the institute, Lonergan Mireles. Over his knee, she learns what loving discipline truly is, and in his bed she discovers the fiery pleasure only found in the arms of her fated mate.

When her family demands she be returned to them, it will take every ounce of courage and strength she has to stand up to them. But this time, she won’t be standing alone, and her new Daddy isn’t letting her go without a fight.

 

My review:

My oh my Talia’s situation about broke my heart. Abusive parents made her life a living hell so that just about anywhere would be better. NOT the guy her father promised her to that would be just as bad so getting sent to the Bratburg Institute sounds like an escape to her.

I loved seeing Talia blossom and enjoy life. This was a truly heartwarming story.
