this is the first book by this author that I've read. I thought this book had fab characters and the plot just kept a hold of you till the last page. this book has many levels, on one side it's romantic, has fab friendships and hot sexy scenes and on the other side it's murderous and quite dark. cant wait to read more from this author and in this series.


highly recommended

The latest book in the Women's Murder Club series finds the women tracking the killer of the very rich and famous as well as the murderer of a homeless man. Those cases are fine, but the romantic sub-plots and the stories given to Yuki are bad enough to make me want to throw the book across the room.

In a town devoted to bookstores, Tricia Miles owns the mystery bookstore. When her neighbor, owner of the cook book store, is found murdered, Tricia jumps in to find out who did it. The book was entertaining with interesting characters, but the story was a little weak. I do plan to give the series a second chance.

A Disney cruise proves dangerous for the Kingdom Keepers as the Overtakers are there as well trying to stop them permanently. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the series has stalled out. Not much forward movement happens, and the book doesn't even bothering resolving much of the plot, instead just setting things up for the next book.

Wow
I loved it
Couldn't put it down.
This is the second book in the fatal dreams series and although you can read it as a standalone I would recommend reading the first one, race the darkness.
I enjoyed the way Abbie writes and although this is a romantic paranormal suspense it also has quite a few grisly crime scenes.
I would certainly recommend this book and I'll probably include it in a future monthly book box at www.andrelaxbookboxes.co.uk

Oh from where the last book ends and the first few chapters of this book what a shock. It was a turn I was not expecting, however it was great to see the characters start to really step up and mature.

Then the ending, what a cliffhanger!! Hopefully the next book will be out soon and then hopefully the series will start to speed up a bit as I feel it is dragging a bit now.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book and after the shocking start I thought it looked set to settle into a fantasy setting teen drama (yawn.) However, it suddenly turned on the intrigue level and became a lot more cloak and dagger plotting and less who kissed who.

For the first book in a series (trilogy?) this ended in a satisfying place but leaving me with plenty of desire to pick up the next book

Raene and the Three Bears is the second book in The Alder Tales by R.S. McCoy, and is a fantastic addition to the series. Whilst being a complete story (for Raene), you also hear how Blossom and Kaide are getting on, so I would say that you HAVE to read book 1 first. The only question I have is why wouldn't you?!

As part of the agreement for Blossom to go with Kaide, Raene has to go to the Bear Clan. However, Kaide made sure that the choice of her husband would be Raene's. Out of the three brothers, one is already married, but Raene still has the choice, as explained by Da.

O.M.G!!! Seriously, every book by R.S. McCoy should come with a kindle warning as I don't think my kindle will survive! This is the second time I've been absolutely entranced in this series, devouring every word, every page; completely engrossed and invested in the story.

I won't give out any spoilers, and I won't even mention the hints about who the 'stars' of the next book and what I think their story might be. All I will say, is that this book is exceptionally well written, with a clear and concise political structure (as far as anything political can be). The world building as a whole, with the different ways of living for each 'branch', is amazing. The characters continue to keep me on the edge of my seat, as they grow and become more than expected.

I really can't recommend this book, or the series, highly enough. Simply stunning, and I can't wait to continue with this series.
