Flight is the third book in the Voodoo Butterfly series and it really must be read as a series rather than a set of standalones.

We start off in Malaysia as Sophie has travelled there to figure things out with Taj once and for all. Once there she realises things weren't as simple as she thought although, to be fair, it was quite clear as the reader just what was going on! 😁 Still, it made for a thrilling read, especially with the added bits of Sophie learning as she goes along. I do so love Marie and the witticisms she gives to Sophie.

The details given are, quite simply, amazing. I can only imagine the amount of research this series has taken but it is worth every moment. Yolanda was a bit too obvious for me so I can't say as I was surprised with that turn of events but even so, I still enjoyed how it was written.

This is an amazing series that just gets better with each book. I love the depth and history of each story and how they interlock with each other. I will always be #TeamJacques but I guess I can see how Taj fits into the picture. 😉

All in all, a brilliant book in a fantastic series that I most definitely recommend. Can't wait for the fourth!

Poisoned Opening
Parker Valentine’s dream is coming true today with the opening of Vino Valentine in her hometown of Boulder, Colorado. However, her joy turns to worry when renowned local food and wine blogger Gaskel Brown shows up. He is notoriously hard to please, and his blog can make or break local restaurants. After sampling her chardonnay, Gaskel dies, and the police are quick to label it poison. Everyone is blaming Parker for the crime, and no one is coming to her store for fear they will be next. In order to save her dream, she has to find the killer. Can she do it?

Since I don’t drink wine, I almost passed on this debut, but I’m glad I picked it up. The book starts quickly, introducing us to characters while also setting the murder in motion. The pace continues to be strong with plenty of secrets and motives before we reach the climax, where everything fell into place. All the characters were also fantastic, with some good growth thanks to the subplots. The book is written in first person present tense, which is a bit unusual, but I quickly got used to it as I read. There are a handful of four-letter words, but they are worth noting mostly in passing. If the food descriptions make your mouth water, you’ll welcome the three recipes and wine pairings at the end. This book was aged to perfection, and I’m already looking forward to Parker’s next case.

Heart of a Hunter is the fifth and final book in the End of Ever After series of fairy tale retellings. Told from Daimyon's perspective, you find out the story of Snow White (Lyla) and what happened after.

One thing I love about E.L. Tenenbaum's stories is how they all interact with each other. This is most definitely Daimyon and Lyla's story but you hear about Azahr and Kiara, Alex and Ella, and others are mentioned in passing. How she manages to keep it all straight, I'll never know but I admire it nevertheless.

The story itself was a brilliant one. I loved reading about Daimyon and his father. I was upset when the queen found out about Daimyon's betrayal and what she did next. I enjoyed reading about what he did for the next few years and the gifts he left. All in all, this was a great read that I thought finished off the series perfectly.

The only problem I have found with this book is I now have the incredible urge to re-read them all - starting from End of Ever After. I thoroughly enjoyed this instalment and have no hesitation in recommending it but PLEASE read it from the beginning. You will miss out on loads of fantastic fantasy if you don't.
