Review: Ask For Andrea - Noelle W. Ihli - April 2022  While I initially expected another hair-raising thriller after reading Noelle's book Run on Red , what I found was a uniquely captivating tale told from a spectral perspective that left me both exhilarated and enchanted. Imagine, if you will, three feisty female ghosts: spirited souls who, despite their tragic fates at the hands of the infuriatingly handsome (and sinfully charming) James “Jimmy” Carson—who might just as well be the lovechild of Chris Hemsworth and a picturesque dream—haunt the very world they once inhabited. Their voices weave together a narrative that is equal parts gripping and entertaining as they navigate the afterlife while trying to lay their murderous pasts to rest. What emerges is a thrilling ghost story—one where paranormal abilities don’t just serve as gimmicks, but as tools for justice. As the trio crunches down on cold cases and attempts to guide the detectives to their hidden resting places, I found...

Review: Murder Road - Simone St James - March 2024 Every year, I try and pick an author that has been on my mind and go through their backlist of books and read everything by them. This year, I had a couple of authors and one of those was Simone St James. After finishing this one I have only two left to read. I have found her a hit/miss author. Four of her books I have enjoyed and three have been DNF. Murder Road was one of those hits for me which I guessed it would be as the storyline was one I was interested in. This book starts with Eddie and April Carter who are newlyweds and traveling on their way to the Five Pines Inn for their honeymoon. Driving along the interstate, Eddie takes a wrong turn and they end up on a deserted road in the middle of the night. While driving along, they come across a young girl who needs their help - Rhonda Jean. She has been injured and by the time they get her to the hospital, she is dead and Eddie and April find themselves stuck in a small town...
