Ooo.. I loved this one more then the first. I loved everything. The magic was cooler.. the characters amazing and I loved that the ones from the first were in the 2nd also. This was amazing and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book and I'm hoping we see more of the first two sisters with their triplet. I am really enjoying this series. So grateful the author allowed me to review for her :)

Sam McCain, part time lawyer and PI, investigates when the wife of a political hopeful is found dead in the trunk of the new Ford Edsel. I really enjoyed this trip back to the late 1950's, although the plotting could have been a little better. I do plan to read more in the series.

Adjunct county diver Luanne Fogarty is asked to search for a body in a private lake. The twist is, the man died 50 years ago. Why search for him now? What happened to him all those years ago? Just like the others in the series, this one offers vivid writing, memorable characters, and a solid plot.

Madeline Bean is catering the Hollywood party this Halloween. But things take a bad turn when the host, producer Bruno Huntley, dies in the middle of the festival. This debut features great characters and lots of fun twists to the plot and started what is still a top notch series. I just wish there were more than seven books.

When Lee goes to pick up the judge for this year's Winter Festival, she finds him drunk and a real jerk. Dropping him off in a hotel room seems like the best idea, until he is found murdered with Lee as the prime suspect. This is the seventh in the series and will certainly please fans of light cozies.

What to say about this one?

I hate to post bad reviews, but I really didn't like this one much! There are too many characters! It got very hard to keep track of who is loyal to who, who is sleeping with who...etc...

I think the author tried to introduce every character & species in the first book of the series and overloaded it a bit!

2 stars...I may read the second one...I don't know yet!

I wanted to like Stohl's version of Carol Danvers... Wanted being key. This book (and the 'Mighty Captain Marvel' series) skews to a younger demographic, that I'm just not part of anymore. I know they want to get young readers, so it does accomplish that, I think.
Yet another rehash of a story that's been told over and over. How many times does Carol have to lose control of her damn powers? Nothing new here, move along.

Sad to be at the end
I have been fully invested in this series, even though it started with the most heart breaking of books. Many thought book two was unnecessary but I didn’t. STILL ME made me laugh, smile, bitch, sigh and scream and I loved each audio minute. I’m so glad I walked with Louisa to the end.

The narration was perfect and Louisa’s character was captured beautifully. Other accents and characters were also well portrayed.
  
I love the 4 books in this series each one i read was a great page turner and made me want to read more, I am reading Vampire Diaries THE RETURN: Shadow Souls. I do admit I didn't get grabbed first of but I did go back to it once I refreshed my head with another book I brought. I do admit I more prefer the first 3 but I will continue to check them out.
  
I received a copy of The Girl the Sea Gave back from Wednesday Books through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. It's the second in the series but I honestly didn't feel I missed anything by not reading the first one.

I loved the short flashback to Halvard and Tova's pasts.

I saw in some reviews that people thought there was too much romance but honestly I didn't get that at all.
