This is the second book in the Cornwall Spinoff of the Vampire Knitting Club and it fits into the VKC after book #15 in the series. This book fits perfectly with book 15 of the Vampire Knitting Club as one of the suspects from Cables and Conjurers pops up in this book and continues one of more storylines from book 15 in the Vampire Knitting Club. I love that the author has brought Lucy's friend Jennifer over from the states to start a second yarn shop and vampire knitting club in Cornwall. I love that we have a new cast of characters to get to know, yet we have the same high-quality storylines with fabulous dialogue, layers of storylines, characters with depth and so much more! I'm excited to get to know these new characters so much better so I absolutely can't wait for more books in this series. I do recommend for maximum enjoyment that you read in order the Vampire Knitting Club and slide the Cornwall spinoff books in based on publication dates as well so you can get maximum entertainment from both series. For those who have read the Vampire Knitting Club, you'll be happy to know that there are several characters that have moved to Cornwall to help with the yarn shop so you'll have a bit of consistency of characters as well. I love a great crossover of series and Cornwall is like an extended crossover! I am loving it! Outstanding narration really brings the book to life too!

This series is an absolute favorite of mine, especially via audiobook, and this book is no exception. I love that Lucy's best friend, Jennifer, is now living in Cornwall and running the second yarn shop. The author makes each mystery more creative and detailed than the last one which inevitably leads me to think that the current read is my favorite of the series. LOL, if you go back through my reviews of the series, I'm sure that you will find multiple times where I have said this book is my favorite of the series.....then I read the next book and say it again! This book definitely fits the series with multiple suspects and ample breadcrumbs to follow if you pay close enough attention to details. I also absolutely love how the characters personal stories are so integrated throughout the storyline to create more depth and interest. Great character development, entertaining and detailed storylines and superb narration on the audiobooks all make for an outstanding reading or listening experience. You do need to start with the first book and read your way through in order for the best understanding and maximum enjoyment. The Cornwall spinoff fits in between the books into this original series extremely well.

This series is so much fun! I love that it is set on the plaza/country club area of KC which I grew up visiting. It is also set in the 70's so a lot of the landmarks mentioned are ones that I remember from my childhood. The author has created incredibly realistic characters that are full of wit and humor. The plot is extremely well crafted and typically has one or more mysteries or puzzles woven into one fabulous story line. I have to say that this series is on my must listen list as the narrator is absolutely outstanding. I mean she can seriously bring "Mr. Coffee," yes, I am referring to the coffeemaker brand, to life and make you believe it! Ellison has to be my all-time favorite amateur sleuth as she is a smart, brave and incredibly creative in her investigative plans even when stumbling onto the true culprit. All the characters are perfect whether you are meant to love or hate them! This book in particular was well plotted so that you had multiple suspects and multiple mysteries to untangle. I am now back to waiting for the next book to be available on audiobook so I can keep enjoying this series!

The author is cooking with fire now! The author has really brought the personalities of the characters to a new and might I add, wonderful, level in this book. Our main character, January, is a strong independent woman who has overcome an abusive marriage and is really getting her feet under her. The wit and humor that the author is bringing out in January's personality is making the character so much more realistic and enjoyable. She is a woman that many of us can relate to. She is a bit older (gasp, in her very early 40's), a curvy woman who has embraced her curves and is beginning to really love herself! Add in wonderful friends and family as well as a sexy wolf shifter boyfriend and you have a well-rounded cast that adds depth and fun to the story. The base story is a mystery, but mystery or mysteries are interwoven with the personal stories of the characters' lives. I can say the romance hit a spicier level in this book and I am here for it! If you like a good paranormal mystery and characters interlaced with some steam, then you have found the right book. I will say that you should read the series in order otherwise you'll be a bit lost in the characters' lives as each book has built upon the last. I also highly recommend the audiobook as the narrator does an outstanding job of bringing the characters and story lines more fully to life. I can't wait for the next book!

This series just keeps getting more exciting! More creatures to battle, more evil spirits to enhance the good vs evil themes in the books as well as more interpersonal relationship events to add more depth to each story. Once again January is in a fight against evil, but this time it ends up not only on her doorstep, but inside her home! I love how the interactions between the characters continue to add to the depth of the story and their individual backgrounds add a layer of nuance to the stories to make them more believable. The paranormal aspect keeps them fun, but also adds to the mystic of each case that January and her crew take on. Add in the deepening connection between January and her sexy wolf shifter beau and you have a well-rounded story full of entertainment for all. The narration on the audiobook is outstanding and also adds a layer of personality to the characters and emotions being presented by the author. I'm ready for the next audio in the series and can't wait to get started!

Once again Inspector Gamache is back in action with his trusted team in this action-packed, fast-paced installment in the series. An over the top case of terrorism is on the cusp of happening and the team can't trust anyone as the rot reaches the top of the police and political levels. The audiobook made the story even more exciting as the narrator was able to bring the characters to life and enhanced the sense of urgency the author has woven into the story. If you haven't read the series previously, you really need to read the books in order as each book builds the characters and their relationships more fully in each book in the series. Plus, you don't want to miss out on hours of wonderful entertainment in this Canadian cop mystery series. The characters are compelling and engaging drawing you further into the stories as you scoot to the edge of your seat cheering them on as they investigate and try to outrace the evil that is in their midst. This one has a slight bit of a cliffhanger, but not one that will have you shouting in frustration, rather you will be anxiously anticipating the next book in the series!

What happens if the worst monster that you had ever arrested was set free and full of vengeance? Inspector Gamache is about to find out and everyone he loves is in danger, but can he unravel who and where the threats are coming from in time or will everyone he loves pay the price for his career path? Wonderful characters (seriously, I want to grow up to be Ruth!!!) and incredible writing draw you in and compel you to keep reading or listening to the book as you just can't put it down. The narrator does an excellent job of adding excitement and emotion to the events to make them even more intense. I can't wait to dig into the next book in the series! FYI: You should read this series in order or you will be lost during this book as there is some flashbacks that take place that can be confusing to someone not familiar with the series.

This is the second book in the series and again, I'm glad I listened to the audiobook vs reading the book. The narration is key to breathing life into the characters although I do feel the writing in this book was better than the first. The characters had a bit more dimension to them and the plot was more exciting. It was interesting seeing another side of the alpha pack since they were the bad guys in the first book. Overall, I would say these were enjoyable to listen to and I'll download more of the audiobooks in the series to listen especially when I'll be traveling and want a series that I can sink into without needing to do much thinking to enjoy as I drive.

I downloaded the audiobook version which I think enhanced the story as it has good narration. The story is a short fast paced take on an omega who doesn't know anything about the werewolf world as she has been raised as a human and hidden from the wereworld. Omegas in this version of wereworld are the lowest on the class heirachy and have little to no rights. The story moves quickly and has a few plot holes, but not enough to not enjoy the book. I was driving across several states and wanted a group of audios that would be in the same series so downloaded this book and number 2 in the series. While I won't say they are stellar award-winning writing, I will say they were entertaining and the heat level of the spice was good. Overall, I enjoyed the basic premise of the story and I may grab another book or two later on when I need something to listen too that doesn't take much thought. Again, the narration made the story much better as the narrators added to the characters personalities, but I'm not sure reading the book would be as enjoyable as the books are a bit one-dimensional.

Dark and deliciously dirty! This is the second book in a bully romance that takes a dark turn while also running a sweet undertone throughout it. Add in an undercurrent of mafia attitude and activity and you have the perfectly dark, dirty and of the charts hot read or listen if you are into audiobooks. I have to say the narration is fantastic. Dual narration always does a better job of bringing characters more fully to life, but in this case the narrators do a superb job of bringing the dark and growly men to life while making readers want to cheer and fight for sweet Belle! I listened to the first book in the series and got hooked, now this book is driving me even further into madness for this series! I can't wait to get my hands on the next audiobook in the series! If you like a hot, spicy read with a bully who falls hard for the girl then this book or rather the series is the one for you!
