Miss Frost Save the Sandman ( Jayne Frost book 3)
By Kristen Painter
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jayne Frost is a lot of things. Winter elf, Jack Frost's daughter, Santa Claus's niece, heir to the Winter Throne and now...private investigator. Sort of.

When the Sandman comes to Santa’s Workshop, the shop Jayne manages, to do his first ever book signing, it’s a major event. He’s kind of a supernatural celebrity and she needs to keep him happy.

All is well until trouble shows up at the party thrown in his honor. Trouble in the form of Luna Nyx, the Mistress of Nightmares and his creepy counterpart. The Sandman’s assistant says Luna is dangerous, and Jayne believes it when her dreams turn dark.

Can Jayne keep the Sandman safe from this gothic goddess? Or will Luna’s threats put them both to sleep for good?

What’s not to love about this series? It’s so quirky I love it! They are just about the right length to fit the whole story plus relationships without being overbearing or boring. I love Jayne she is so likeable actually I can’t think of any character I don’t like. This series is just so much fun. This book introduces us to the Sandman and his ex wife death. Brilliant if you’re looking for something fun and quirky.

As mentioned in the first season, the story follows Emerson Cod, a private investigator; Charlotte Charles, Ned's childhood sweetheart brought back from the dead by Ned; and Ned, who has the ability to bring the dead back to life for one minute before something else takes its place.

Each episode entails all kinds of quirky murder mysteries in which Ned, Emerson, and Charlotte must solve together. As the season progresses, we learn more about each character and other sub characters such as Olive Snook.


We see Emerson in his flight to get in contact with his long lost daughter, Charlotte who tricks Ned into bringing her deceased father back to life, Olives unrequited love with Ned, and Ned who can never touch his only true, Charlotte, love again.


However, I will warn you, the series end kind of abruptly. The contract for a third series, for some reason, was cancelled meaning everything had to be tied up at the end when it should not have. It is rather unfortunate because it is such a good series.

This is my first book by this author, and I must say, I liked it, but I wasn't in love with it. It was a little slow and very hard to get into. It took me a little longer to read this one than my other books, and for that, I have to give this book a 3 in ratings.

Jeanmarie, Chuck and their friends are wonderfully created. They were good for their roles in the story, I will admit. The plot line, while slow, did make me smile at times, and at others, I had to grab a tissue because, well, the ending it had was really one of emotion!

That said, I still recommend this book to others to try. Others may find that they don't have a hard time reading and will love it wholly. As for reading more of this authors work, I definitely look forward to trying more.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Moira main over here! (the one that actually spams healing orbs) 😊

I fell in love with Overwatch from the very first time I played it. I enjoy all heroes to be quite honest. Apart from Doomfist.

There is a lot of characters to choose from, and getting better at all of them is a constant challenge, so it never gets boring.

Competitive play can be a bit toxic, so playing with friends is way more fun, but you can always make friends in game as well.

I love the arcade mode, where you can play different modes such as Mystery Heroes, or Deathmatches. Also, every week you get loot boxes for winning games there, so that's cool too. When we're on the loot boxes, it's worth to mention that each hero has amazing skins, emotes, voice chats and highlight intros that you can either buy or collect from loot boxes.

Different maps and map modes are available and unlocked. The achievements and stats page is amazing as well - the details on the stats is really cool!

Found in Silence by Lisa Sobre

Four Stars

This is the first story I have read by Lisa Sobre. It was different in the sense that instead of turning to the child in comfort our main lady turned cold and lifeless. Jen was all about her image and what people thought of her. She was either in love or in lust with a man ten years older than her. She turned herself into someone else just to be what she thought he needed or wanted. The emotions she felt were so real to me that I thought someone was telling my story. Only my kids saved me. Miles was just omg and so perfect for Jen. He didn’t put up with her mess and found the beauty she had hidden within. I definitely will be reading more from this author. The writing style caught my attention and the story was so raw and beautiful. The author made Jen into the perfect example of why people don’t want to fall in love but completely flipped to show the benefits of loving the right person.

The horror genre has never been one that I read a lot of. I'm more of a fantasy, murder mystery kinda gal. Horror gives me the creeps (as it should) so I tend to avoid it as much as I can.

Now in the hopes of becoming a more well-rounded reader, I decided to take a dive into the deep end and pick up these unsettling read.

Midwinterblood tells the story of the souls of Eric and Merle. Yes, I did say souls. This book is about reincarnation, the past and future lives and how our souls stay intertwined with the ones we love. Midwinterblood is split into 8 chapters each represented by a different moon and a different time period, I wouldn't say it's a pure love story, although that is what I initially thought after the first chapter, as each story is so different I wouldn't say it's got a specific theme throughout.
