Merissa (14086 KP) rated Sir Avery's Wish (Club Sensation #3) in Books
Aug 22, 2025
SIR AVERY'S WISH is the third book in the Club Sensation series, and tells us the story of Eli and Avery. Eli is originally from LA, but escapes to Boston after witnessing a murder. Avery is the owner of a hotel/conference centre and is friends with Zane. He has been on hiatus from playing at the club for a while, but doesn't fully understand why until Zane lays it out for him. Avery meets Eli when it comes to his attention that a boy is sleeping in the laundry room, but Eli takes off before Avery can help. Through a series of events, Eli ends up staying with Zane, Ty, and Ryan. Through them, he gets a job and sees Avery again for the first time since running away, and this time, Avery intends to do all he can to help him stay.
This was a sweet story with a solid connection between Avery and Eli, once they actually get into the same physical space. Through Avery's care and praise, Eli blossoms in so many ways, not only in trusting Avery and telling him about his past. It is definitely a two-way street in this relationship, as Avery benefits too.
I found the pacing to be smooth up until the end, and then it seemed a little rushed to me. Saying that, I still thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters, and look forward to seeing more of those in Club Sensation, especially Gabe, who had a little crush on Avery. Definitely recommended by me.

The Girl with a Clock for a Heart
By Peter Swanson
⭐️⭐️⭐️
George Foss never thought he'd see her again, but on a late-August night in Boston, there she is, in his local bar, Jack's Tavern. When George first met her, she was an eighteen-year-old college freshman from Sweetgum, Florida. She and George became inseparable in their first fall semester, so George was devastated when he got the news that she had committed suicide over Christmas break. But, as he stood in the living room of the girl's grieving parents, he realized the girl in the photo on their mantelpiece - the one who had committed suicide - was not his girlfriend. Later, he discovered the true identity of the girl he had loved - and of the things she may have done to escape her past.Now, twenty years later, she's back, and she's telling George that he's the only one who can help her...In his electrifying debut, Peter Swanson evokes the spirit of Body Heat and Double Indemnity, in a thriller about love, loss and those memories we hold closest to our hearts.'...it was like I had a secretdisease, or there was this clock inside of me, ticking like a heart,and at any moment an alarm would go off ...'
So I’ve been looking forward to this read and I was really enjoying it the deviousness of This woman and the stupidity of George I suppose some will go to all lengths to help that first love. BUT and it’s really stressed me out and annoyed me so much and that was the ending I mean really????

Facing Wounds from the Past and Danger in the Present
It’s been two months since Hurricane Irma devastated the island of St. John, and in that time, Sabrina Salter and her friends have been trying to figure out how they are going to rebuild. Sabrina’s grandmother has some contacts back in the Boston area that will be able to help them get supplies, and she has asked Sabrina to join her so they can begin to search for Sabrina’s mother, who abandoned her as a toddler. Meanwhile, two explosions on St. John leave behind a dead body and danger for the friends Sabrina is leaving behind. Will they figure out what happened in the past and what is happening in the present?
If you are new to the series, know that this book will mean much more if you read it in order. We are seeing developments in several storylines we’ve followed since the beginning. While the two stories do start and end together, in many ways, we are seeing two parallel plots in this book. Both were compelling for different reasons, and I had a hard time putting the book down, reading the last third when I really intended to be doing something else. Elements of the climax are rushed, although that is a minor thing. Sabrina gets some wonderful character development here, and it’s great to see the rest of the cast again. This is a step away from the cozies I typically read, so keep that in mind before you pick up the book. If you are a fan, you’ll be happy with Sabrina’s latest adventure.

This Book, By Any Other Name, Would be as Addicting
Edwina “Sully” Sullivan is using the slow winter months for the Cliffside Theater to work on grant proposals to help them build their own theater building. Meanwhile, Dimitri, the theater’s resident director, is working on a struggling adaptation of Romeo and Juliet down in Boston. When Sully gets a chance to go down and help for a few days, she figures this is a great time to schmooze with the people who will be awarding the grant. However, a murder after what was supposed to be a celebratory party turns Sully’s focus to other things. When people who knows start vanishing, can she figure out what is really going on?
I had forgotten just how much I loved these characters until I picked up this second in the series. The main characters are strong, and their relationships feel real. They also have multiple connections to the characters who are part of the mystery, which gives us multiple reasons to care. The book starts out focusing on the disaster of the play, but it is layering in information related to the mystery, so when the murder does happen, we are off and running quickly. I got so pulled into this book that I finished it in two days instead of my average three. In fact, I had to know what was going on, so I ignored other plans to finish it. The climax is very satisfying. I appreciated how Sully used her background as a cop to investigate and worked with the police to figure things out, a nice change from other cozies I read. I’m already hoping we get to visit with Sully and the rest of the gang again soon.
