Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Blackberry Burial (A Berry Basket Mystery #2) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Marlee Jacob has been roped into helping her friend Piper find a starting location for the upcoming Blackberry Car Rally, but while checking out the newest prospect, they uncover a skeleton. The remains belong to Sienna, a promising art student who vanished 20 years ago from the local art school. With the art school holding a reunion, everyone Sienna knew is back in town. At the time, everyone thought she’s drowned in Lake Michigan, but if that’s what happened, how did she get buried away from the lake?

This book starts out well, but it only gets better when the reunion starts and Sienna’s friends arrive. From that point on, I didn’t want to set the book down due to the twists and the strong suspects. When I hit the climax, I was racing to find out what would happen next. Marlee and her friends are a pleasure to be around, and the setting is a summer vacation paradise it is a pleasure to visit on the page.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book.

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Denial in Paradise by courtship in Music

Jun 18, 2019

courtship. (Eli Hirsch and Micah Gordon) is an indie-pop duo based in Los Angeles, California. Not too long ago, they released a groovy beach tune, entitled, “Guy Stuff”.

“Every single night, such a deep desire just to be inside something. It’s guy stuff. There’s violence in our heart. Soo tough.” – lyrics

‘Guy Stuff’ is a tongue-in-cheek ode to the human nature engrained in men.

The likable tune contains a relatable storyline, pleasing vocals, and light-hearted instrumentation flavored with a punchy piano which plays throughout the track.

Also, the song possesses catchy oohs and aahs which radiates an eclectic, disco feel.

courtship.’s musical inspirations while growing up include ELO, Daft Punk, and Burt Bacharach.

After a year on the road with bands such as Passion Pit, The Wombats, and Weezer, the bubbly duo went back into the studio to create their sophomore album, entitled, “The Art of Breaking Hearts”.

The project follows their highly successful “Denial in Paradise” album, which has amassed over 9M streams thanks to tracks such as “Nice Guy” and “Tell Me Tell Me”.

Kristy H (1252 KP) rated What Happens in Paradise in Books

Nov 7, 2019

It’s been a year since Irene Steele received the news that her husband Russ was killed in a helicopter crash. The most shocking part: it occurred on the island of St. John, where he apparently lived a double life with another family. Now Irene and her two grown sons are back on the island, trying to move on—and learn more about the life Russ led there.

I really am loving this series. I worried for naught this book wouldn’t be as captivating as the first! It was, per usual, a delicious Hilderbrand read. I love these characters, especially stalwart Irene. And Huck, oh Huck, the tough yet sweet fishing captain. She just captures them all so perfectly!

This book is really quite fascinating—almost a mystery. There’s plenty of good relationship drama, too and lots of curiosity about Russ’ business dealings. It’s so easy to get caught up in everyone’s lives.

This is a fun, dramatic, and engaging read. You can read it out of order, but pick up Winter in Paradise first (if you haven’t already) for the full experience!

(Also, this was my first read BOTM. Yay!)
