MY REVIEW
Gnarly New Year by Anna Celeste Burke is Book II in the Corsario Cove cozy mystery series. I would recommend started with Book I, Cowabunga Christmas.
Cozies have such fun titles and covers, I find them irresistible, even though they are not the hardcore mystery, thriller and suspense reading that I love the most.
Gnarly New Year by Anna Celeste Burke picks up where Cowabunga Christmas left off. The murderer had been found, but there were many unanswered questions.
We have the small town cop with an attitude and lots of surfers. Kim and Brien partake of the sport as they follow the trail to the…treasure. It’s not really a treasure, per se, but it is the object everyone is looking for.
The dialogue is fun and the characters entertaining, especially with all of Brien’s little quirks. He’s such a sweetie pie.
I received a copy of Gnarly New Year from Anna Celeste Burke in return for an honest review.

I just recently finished reading Cowabunga Christmas. It was fun and I’d like to read this one now:) Would be so tickled to win these.
I read it too and will be sharing my review in December. Fun reads!
Thanks so much for featuring Gnarly New Year on your blog and for the kind words about the book. Cheers!
My pleasure. I enjoyed both books. I love anything to do with the beach and there is no way I could pass these up. 🙂
“Gnarly New Year” sounds like a really fun read. Looking forward to reading.
It was and I’m glad to hear it sounds good to you too.
This is a new series to me. I look forward to reading both books. Thanks for the giveaway.
Fantastic, Rachael. Good luck.
I just love the storylines you write- fun and not full of gratuitous sex. Thanks for keeping it clean!
Glad to see these are something you would enjoy, Jeanine. Good luck in adding them to your collection.
These sound like light fun mysteries Sherry. I love the fun covers.
They are. I love anything beachy and sometimes a light read is called for.
