This is the second book in this series by this author. This book will definitely take you on an emotional roller coaster of a ride. When you get to the epilogue you will be crying, have the tissues at the ready. This is a sweet, funny, emotional, slow burn romantic read. The characters were well written with fantastic chemistry between them . I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended

I have read a number of books by this author and she never disappoints. this is a fantastic romantic story with just enough hot steamy scenes to keep you hooked. the book is fantastically written with brilliant characters which are going to keep you reading long into the night. this is the third book in the series, but I hadn't read one and two before reading this, to me this book could be read as a standalone.

highly recommended

If you are a fan of music or just good writing you will enjoy this book. [Sparks] delves deeper into the background of BJ Sparks who is a minor character in the [WeHo series] if you read those. These are some of [Sherryl D. Hancock's] most developed and complex characters yet. This book will take you on a wild ride. Another benefit is you can suggest this book to people who may not be so into the lesbian scene and introduce them to an amazing author.

This book was very interesting. I liked the concept and I found myself intrigued with the premise of the book. I did like the characters. Even though they were a little too juvenile for me I found that I could relate to them. The characters were interesting. I liked that it was a quick read. I may continue on in the series but I'm still not sure.

Ultimately, I liked the book but I will admit that I am still unsure about the ending.
  
After I read the princess one - I realized this was a series that I needed to continue and immediately found this book at the library (actually I think I may buy both because they were that on my level). This book's subject matter is more intense than the first book, and it was somewhat harder to read, because damn if all of the things written weren't so true to life. Very along the current movement going on with women empowerment - such a lovely book.

Well well - my first Holly Black book - I wasn't disappointed - there was a lot happening in the middle, some of which I felt unnecessary - and there was a particular missing " at the end of a quote which drives me nuts. The book overall was great - it was well written and it was exciting and fun to read. And that ending. That ending was exciting and I really can't wait for book 2 to come out - thanks again owlcrate for another series I have to continue lol

Easy reading
Who doesn't want to have a literary adventure?!
The authors humorous character is revealed within this book. Following a teenage girl the book sets up for those to follow. I began reading this when i was 12 years old and 8 years later i purchased the latest book in the series. The easy to read plot line grasps its readers and draws them into another world within the one we know. It certainly brings adventure and excitement into real life.

The start of an exciting new series!!
This is the beginning of a new series from Dianna Hardy, which has it's roots in The Eye of The Storm series. You don't need to have read the series to read this book though, although you will be able to understand why the main character, Jennifer Warren, acts in the way that she does.
Five years after Jennifer has put her werewolf past behind her, she is settled in to a new life with a job, house and a boyfriend. She receives anonymous notes from time to time that warn her of things that will happen and people that she should steer clear of. There is a Supermoon coming, and she has been warned that something big is going to happen. Her past seems to be catching up with her.
Jennifer is a much more likeable character in this book than she was in the EOTS series. She is vulnerable, shy and genuinely seems to care about her boyfriend. Her flashbacks and dreams are disturbing for her (and may be disturbing for the reader to, to be honest), and we see just how devastating an effect her past has had on her.
I liked the way that certain myths were incorporated in to the story (I can't say which, it'll give the game away!!) and the backstories of other characters were very interesting.
All in all, this was a gripping story, and if it hadn't been for the fact that I had to go to work, I would have finished it in one sitting.
This is a good book for those who enjoy Urban Fantasy with a bit of romance (not as much in this story as in her previous series, though). I'm looking forward to any more that the author writes in this series - there were a few loose ends that are crying out to be followed up!
Many thanks to the author for early access to her book to review (and an honest review as well!!)

Puzzling Murder on a Movie Set
Cora Felton, famed Puzzle Lady, is having her worst nightmare come true when a tell all book from her least favorite ex-husband becomes a bestseller and gets turned into a movie. She agrees to become an associate producer on the film in hopes of control some of the damage even if it means she has to spend time with her least favorite ex-husband on a daily basis. Before things can even get started, however, tragedy visits the set when a production assistant is killed. The police aren’t sure what to make of it, but Cora isn’t that concerned since it has nothing to do with her. However, as things continue to go wrong on the film, she begins to take a more active interest. Can she figure out who is behind everything happening?

As a longtime fan of the series, I was looking forward to Cora’s latest adventure only to find myself disappointed. The star of the series has always been the witty dialogue between Cora and the rest of the characters. I did laugh some, but I found most of it lacking the spark of the better books in the series. The plot is really a series of events, although Cora does get a clue at the end that helps her put things together. We spend most of the book in New York City on various locations, which leaves the series regulars on the sideline, and the new characters aren’t strong enough to carry the book. We do get a new crossword and Sudoku to solve as we read. This is one of those books where it is easy to pick on the shortcomings, but I was entertained as I breezed through the book. Still, this is one only for fans who need Cora’s latest adventure. Those new to the series won’t enjoy the book.
