So.. I got this book in a box set and didn't realize it was the 3rd in the series. That is the only reason it got 4 instead of 5 because certain parts I was confused on. However, overall I was able to follow it and really enjoyed this book. I do want to read the others as well. I love witches if written right and this author definitely got it right. Very good story and very good read.

One of my new favorite series. I love gargoyles and don't see many good stories with them. Mix gargoyles with sexy and you get this book. Amazing characters, amazing plot and storyline. Sexy man/gargoyle. I loved the way the story played out and how everything came together. I loved the attraction and the twist in the story. Everything in this makes me excited for the next book. I can't wait until it comes out. Amazing!

What happened? Normally her books are lovely and are instant buy clicks, but this just seemed lacking. Quite a few holes that we don't know and no idea about the why that occurs at most of the big points in the story. Could this be a tie-in to the Justice series? By the end of the book I went "huh? What that was the end?" Sadness, have another instant buy to read later. #Coyer book.
  
The Women's Murder Club are hot on the trail of a cat burglar who just escalated to murder and a serial killer praying on women and their very young kids. After the disappointing last book in the series, I actually found this one enjoyable. The epilogue left much to be desired, however. Mindless entertainment, but fun mindless entertainment.

When the much despised CC de Poitiers dies on Boxing Day, Chief Inspector Gamache returns to Three Pines to solve the crime. I found the first part of the book very slow and hard to get into. It did get more interesting in the second half, but I'm not sure how excited I am to continue the series.

Stork Raving Mad (Meg Langslow, #12)

Meg is eight and a half months pregnant with twins, but that doesn't stop her from investigating when a member of Michael's tenure committee is killed in their overcrowded house. This book wasn't as funny as some of the earlier books in the series, but it was still amusing. And the mystery was great as always.

The body of a woman washes up on the beach, but inside are pictures from Mark's first case. As he thinks back to what happened then, will it give him a clue about the current murder? This is an emotionally gripping book that really explores Mark's character in the new way. Highly recommended for fans of the series.

This entry in the tie in series finds Monk and Natalie on vacation in Paris. But Monk doesn't start to relax until he finds a recent skull mixed in with all the ancient ones in the catacombs. I found the beginning a bit slow, but the mystery was engaging and the book was absolutely hilarious.

With Sherry out of town on her honeymoon, Cora will have to be pretty creative to solve the latest crossword related murder spree and keep her secret intact. I was happy to see that the character interactions that had grown beyond stale were revitalized here. I hope that continues with the next book in the series.

This was something wonderful. I teach us about friendship and forgiving. It also about finding a missing child. It show what the Amish do for each person or children even neighbor's children. It show the difference in English world and their world. I just love the story and plot behind it. This is the third in this series. I still need to read book number 2. I recommend this book those that love Amish or Beverley Lewis.
