When the piano player of a jazz band is killed, Hannah springs into action to find his killer. Meanwhile, she's also looking for a way to stop Hannah from marrying Dr. Bev. The characters were great as always, and the mystery was fun. But the Norman/Dr. Bev story was unrealistic. I'm hoping, however, that it is leading to the end of the Hannah/Norman/Mike love triangle.

Good start.
This intrested me from the begining just wish their wasnt a love triangle i kind of hoped that for once a girl and boy could just be friends.

It was the realtionship that derk had with in himself and the small parts with his twin sister that kept me reading.

That being said i would read more specailly for a hoilday book where you dont have to concerate to much and can just put the book down when you need to and get back to without have to refesh your memory.

Hannah’s trial is coming up, and she’s hoping to finally have the entire things behind her. Instead, she finds another dead body, this time the judge who was supposed to preside over her trial. With her name once again on the suspect list, Hannah must find the real killer.

While it is always fun to check in with these characters, I do enjoy a good mystery. Sadly, the mystery took a back seat to other things happening. Too many scenes were devoted to cooking. On the other hand, there is significant progress on the love triangle. And really, I do love these characters.

The Phantom Of The Opera
This film is one of the classics.
Phantom Of The Opera is a musical, the songs were composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a very knows British composer that has written a lot of other songs to other very famous musicals (ex: Cats and Evita).
The film takes place is Opera Popullaire and it starts when Christine (the main character), a ballerina, replaces Carlotta, the opera main star and becomes famous due to her signing classes with her mysterious teacher, The Phantom. In the meanwhile she founds her childhood old love and they fall in love again leaving The Phantom heart broken. It’s a romance triangle.
Its dramatic. Emotional. And very worth the watch.

I am not a fan of YA, but Angels & Alphas seemed to be one of the better ones. The females were strong without being obnoxious (or mean like some authors think they need to be) and there was no love triangle (rejoice!). The world was fleshed out nicely even though the authors really did not introduce anything new. I appreciate that the novel was set in Purgatory.
Overall, the stories were nothing new and seemed like ones that we have read over and over, However, they were done much better than the majority of novels I have read similar to them.
