Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2067 KP) rated Topped Chef (Key West Food Critic Mystery #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Hayley Snow has gotten roped into being a judge on a search for the top chef of Key West. However, when one of the judges is murdered after the first round, she begins to wonder if she’s in danger. Is someone determined enough to win to make sure the judges will vote for them?
The reality competition actually slows the plot down a little at times, but I still enjoyed this book. The very colorful assortment of characters kept me entertained, and I loved getting to see more of Hayley’s housemate, Miss Gloria.

Brad Leary (18 KP) rated Cards Against Humanity in Tabletop Games

It's a dirty version of Apples to Apples.
A judge selects a card with a sentence. Everyone else plays a card from their hand that matches the judges card. The judge then chooses the funniest response.

Daughter of Hades ( Cerberus book 2)
By Helen Scott
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Poppy never thought her life would get this crazy.
Sexy hellhound guards and being the future queen of the Underworld? She had been happy being a waitress and a freelance graphic designer in Chicago, hadn't she? What she was doesn't matter, that life is long gone now.
Before she can travel to the Underworld, she needs to find three judges that will preside over the souls of the dead. But who are they? Where are they? And how the hell is she supposed to find them?
As she battles agents of Hel at every turn and is confronted with mysterious new enemy Poppy is decidedly on edge. Will she find her judges in time or will her enemies get to them first?
We pick this up with Poppy searching for her 3 judges as well as getting closer with her hellhounds. It was ok it’s an easy series to read and can get a bit spicy. It was action packed too. All the things you expect from a RH. The one thing I’d like more is more depth.

Fun spin on the cooking competition genre
This show is so fun to watch. I love competition shows, but they can start to feel a little too familiar after a while. Nailed It feels fresh and original. The contestants are all amateur chefs. Anyone who's ever tried to recreate an amazing recipe they saw online or on a cooking show will relate both to the competitors and to the premise. You cheer them on even as you laugh at their failures, because everyone has been there at some point, or had a friend or relative that turned up with some epic cake fail at a birthday party. Because of this, the show wouldn't work if the judges were mean, and they aren't. They're funny, and they gently tease the would-be chefs throughout the show while they give advice and encouragement. The host is charismatic and fun, and the banter between the judges always sparkles. Currently my cooking show of choice.

Queen of the Underworld ( Cerberus 3)
By Helen Scott
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Poppy’s to-do list might be short, but it's not easy.
1. Make it to the Underworld before the insidious human organization that wants to control it
2. Defend the Underworld the Norse goddess of Helheim
3. Claim the throne
A battle for the Underworld is brewing. Taking the throne might be close to impossible between having a goddess and a secretive human organization bent on the domination of all the realms on her tail. How can Poppy, her hellhounds, and her judges defend it?
It doesn’t help when one of her judges goes missing while she sleeps. When they fall under attack Poppy must choose between fighting, staying safe, and searching for her missing man.
After a wild chase through the Underworld, Poppy has three questions. Who can she trust? Who will betray her for power? How many more secrets the Underworld is hiding?
It was good and rounded of the series well. Not a series that blew me away but it’s a decent one.
