One Sentence Review for Meow, Catnip Assassins Book I, by Skye MacKinnon @skye_mackinnon

Posted on January 4, 2020 by fundinmental

Just looking at the colorful, gorgeous cover of Meow, and the title, and Catnip Assassin, how could I possible resist. I devour my Amazon freebies when I travel and do mini reviews to share them.

Cover: Ravenborn Covers

Amazon / Goodreads

ONE SENTENCE REVIEW

So many delicious supernaturals abound in this purrfectly exciting, sexy tale of cats, kitties, wolves, and humans, and Meow Investigations tackles many problems that exist in the human world, murder, poisoning children, slavery, making Kat, an assassin, change from working alone to gathering a team that will do whatever is necessary to stop The Pack and I can hardly wait to read more of their adventures.

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos — 4 Stars

GOODREADS BLURB

Kat is used to killing people, but for a blank cheque, she’s willing to do the opposite and help solve a murder – even though it sounds boring as hell. That is, until she finds some body parts in her fridge, makes friends with the neighbourhood cats and realises there may be an assassin better than her…

Suddenly, things have become purrfectly exciting.

An urban fantasy full of cats, secrets and murders. This is a slow-burn reverse harem where Kat will find her love interests over time. Book one in the Catnip Assassins series.

One Sentence Review – Winter Arrives by Roz Marshall @RozMarshallAuth

Posted on December 21, 2019 by fundinmental

Winter Arrives by Roz Marshall is a series that is nearly complete, so don’t hesitate to pick it up if it sounds like a good one to you. This is not my first Roz Marshall book and it will not be my last.

I like this pretty cover by Alba Covers.

Winter Arrives (Secrets in the Snow, #1)

Amazon / Goodreads

MY ONE SENTENCE REVIEW

It’s freezing, the heat is off, no oil in the tank, no money in the bank account…even though the story was predictable, some troubles and some romance, I quickly fell for the characters in this short episode

GOODREADS BLURB

Everybody has something to hide

Jude Winters is confident in one thing – she has no idea how to run a ski school. But a missing husband and mounting bills mean she’s going to have to find out fast. The hard way.

Mike Cole has skied nearly everywhere in the world. Now it’s time to tick Scotland off his list, before he kicks the snow from his boots and carries on with his Kiwi version of walkabout.

But things aren’t always what they seem. And even wanderlust can sometimes be sated.

“Winter Arrives” is the first novella from the ‘Secrets in the Snow‘ series about a Scottish snowsports school.

Episodes 2-5 and 3 short stories are also available. The series will complete in 2015 with Episode 6.

BEWARE of Paradise Road by Kat De Falla @katdefalla

Posted on December 14, 2019 by fundinmental

The cover for Paradise Road by Kat De Fall is nothing special, but anything with trees always gets my attention. I got this as an Amazon freebie back on 10.1.16.

Amazon / Goodreads

MY ONE SENTENCE REVIEW

Paradise Road is real. so it makes me even more curious, though I know what’s coming, Kat De Fall still manages to surprise me in a fantastic way and I smile at the gruesome ending…which, I strongly suggest you heed the warning and don’t get out of your car…better yet, don’t even slow down.

GOODREADS BLURB

Paradise Road is long known to be a haunted stretch of forest near Jefferson in Wisconsin. But when Nicky asks Tracey to accompany her out to the desolate stretch of road to find their lost friend, they both get more than they bargained for.

One Sentence Review – Jingle Bell Bum by Patricia Hanrion #PatriciaHanrion

Posted on December 7, 2019 by fundinmental

A feel good story perfect for the holiday season.

Amazon / Goodreads

MY ONE SENTENCE REVIEW

A short but intense and heartwarming story that brought tears to my eyes as young and old alike come together, giving, sharing, and adding so much goodness to everyone’s life.

GOODREADS BLURB

Joseph was a shabby imitation of Santa Clause with his Salvation Army kettle in front of a K-mart, but what no one could have guessed was that Joseph was a miracle waiting to happen. This inspiring Christmas story tells the true tale of how a group of teenage carolers changed the life of a down-and-out bum. A moving and unforgettable read!

One Sentence Review – The Last Dinner Party by Carly M Duncan @carlymduncan

Posted on September 28, 2019 by fundinmental

The Last Dinner Party by Carly M Duncan is one of those long lost review books that slipped through the cracks. I finished reading it 11.27.16.

Amazon / Goodreads

MY ONE SENTENCE REVIEW

Well, what can I say about these characters…that they leave a lot to be desired is putting it mildly, as they will throw each other under the bus as the mystery surrounding the murder brings forth some misdirection and plenty of suspects that may keep you guessing as the last drink is drunk and the party has ended.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Last Dinner Party by Carly M Duncan.

GOODREADS BLURB

When Jeanie D’Alisa is found murdered in her bedroom after hosting a dinner party in her home, detectives Anna Cole and Kristy Hicks are called to investigate the crime. Known within her community for her generous, yet unpredictable nature, Jeanie’s secrets unfold as family, friends and neighbors become suspects. Anna and Kristy discover stamped passport pages revealing travels unknown and a curious relationship between Jeanie and the charming salesman who frequents the apartment building. Meryl, Jeanie’s devoted and needy friend, further complicates the investigation when she phones Jeanie’s sister who is studying abroad and lies to her about the cause of death. Through a muddied pool of misdirection and betrayal, will Anna and Kristy be able to assemble the clues in order to bring Jeanie’s killer to justice? The path to solving the mystery becomes tangled with faces of loved ones who are revealed to be foes in this story about the lengths people will go to in order to save themselves.

LATEST HAPPENINGS

Hello fellow bloggers. I hope you have all had a great week, filled with family, fun and a lot of great books. It’s been a while and I just returned from a vacation to the north. We spent ten wonderful days touring and visiting friends and family in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Boston and Cape Cod. You can see the pictorial tour HERE.

I did a lot of binge reading while traveling. Does anyone else hate to fly?

The weather here in the Florida Panhandle is still warm and sunny and I am lovin’ every minute of it. It was twenty degrees cooler during the day and even more at night up there. For the first time in a long time, we got rained out one day. We still toured around, but I shot all my photographs from the dryness of the car that day. Have I turned into a wuss? LOL

I have some great giveaways going on and a few reviews to share, so feel free to browse to your heart’s content.

The twins are turning twelve years old and will have a choice to make, but it is not a choice like human children make and it will definitely be life changing…but this ends in a cliffhanger and you will have to read more….

Amazon / Goodreads

MY ONE SENTENCE REVIEW

Fabulous cover the Ward of the Vampire by Kallysten drew me into this vampire story with characters that captured me, making me want to know more as they took me to a wonderful place of magic and romance.

Forgot to mention the cliffhanger. This is more like a preview or a tease of what is to come in the series, which is complete and available as a set and you can get it HERE for $4.99 on Kindle

GOODREADS BLURB

It’s THE party of the season. Socialites, artists and A-list stars have been invited to Morgan Ward’s birthday bash, including Angelina’s boss, Delilah.

For months, Angelina has been looking at the preparations from afar, but never did she imagine that, come the day, Miss Delilah would put her in a gorgeous gown and bring her along as her ‘plus one.’

Wandering from crowded room to crowded room in the sumptuous mansion, Angelina grows overwhelmed and escapes onto a balcony, only to find it occupied by her host. That first meeting leaves her struggling for her very life, but she soon gets an unexpected do-over.

Meeting Morgan Ward for the first time all over again, Angelina finds herself falling into his arms… But is it all only a fantasy?

#BooksFromTheBackLog – Water’s Blood by Elaine Calloway @writerscanvas

Posted on August 15, 2019 by fundinmental

If you would like to join in, swing by Carole’s Random Life in Books.

Here we go again, another book I don’t know who gave it to me or when I got it, but Water’s Blood by Elaine Calloway was released 1.28.13. So I will share a one sentence review.

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

Walking the New Orleans streets, the Elementals search for the Minare, the Fallen Angels, but Brooke, a Water Elemental has an even more important mission of her own, to save her human family, and everything about the book made me want to read it, though, I did have some trouble with Ella, until I let my mind go and the fantasy take me where it will.

GOODREADS BLURB

Nature’s Elementals—Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water—have lived for countless millennia. Disguised as humans, they are charged with one mission: protect the innocent from fallen angel clans, who reap human souls and force them to do their bidding.

Brooke, a Water Elemental stationed in New Orleans, broke the rules once—she mated with a human. For her indiscretion, she is forbidden to share a life with her loved ones: NOPD officer Alex and their half-breed daughter, Ella.

Now Ella is about to turn sixteen, and the local clan of fallen angels is determined to snare her soul by Halloween.

Brooke broke the rules once by allowing love to interfere with her mission. Now she and Alex must put consequences aside to break the rules again—if they wish to save their daughter’s soul.
