Nice addition to the series

This one was pretty good. There was definite improvement over the first in the series. Still needed some editing but not too much. A few spots left me confused and I had to reread those sections to figure out what was going on. The main reason I gave it 4 stars, in spite of a few aggravating issues, was that the author has managed to make me identify with some of the characters. I've come to care about them. When a story can draw me in that way, I call it a keeper. I can't wait to read Shade and Lily's story but will be content with Knox's tale for now. Happy reading!!

Another great addition to the series. I love the description that these are a mix of Buffy and Pride and Prejudice but with some spice. I have read this series a few times and each time I take something new away from it.

Great addition to the series. This book was filled with action once again. There was a number of interesting bits of technology or strategy that I enjoyed. Overall it was an easy and enjoyable read that had a great pace.

However, even though I rated five stars, there still room to improve. I would love to see more about the Armati. Not only explaining what they are but also having them used more in the story.

This book is a great addition to the series.  I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.

Another wonderful addition to this series. Very good character development and it isn't necessary to have read the earlier books to enjoy such a well-told tale.

Mischief and the Masters is a great addition to the series. I love how we get updates on some of the other characters in each book. Looking forward to the next one, but until then I will start from the beginning and reread the series.

A fun addition to the series.  No murder in this one.  It does advance the story between Lucy and Peter.  Set at a mystery weekend retreat (one where mysteries are solved).  So there is a murder, but it is but it is staged as part of the weekend and no one actually died. Cute, clean read.

If you have not read any of the series before this one probably won't make a lot of sense.  She has a boxed set of the first three or the first of the series is often offered free.  This is one of the series that is best to read in order.

Lucy owns an antique store in Helena Montana.  She has a few friends and a dog that regularly show up in the books.  Her boyfriend is a Deputy Sherriff and like all good cozies Lucy has a talent for finding bodies and being nosey.  Part of the backstory is she had been a crime reporter prior to relocating and opening her store.  Well written and for the most part humorous.  Author also writes under the name Lori Devoti

3.5-4 stars

This was a pretty good addition to the series. I liked Sookie in the story. The story starts out with Sookie living her normal life and there's a bit going on in her relationship with Quinn. Quinn has been working a lot and since he travels a lot for his work she hasn't seen him much but he does manage to stop in for a couple days to see her and things go well between them. The Vampire summit is coming up soon and they'll both be busy because of it since Sookie is going there with the Vampire queen of Louisiana and Quinn is one of the organizers. They do make plans to spend a month together after the summit since Quinn will be able to take time off work then. The summit is fraught with problems though... People are gunning for the queen while she's in a weak position and there's issues with the humans in the "Fellowship" planning an attack against the summit in order to take out as many Vampires as possible. Of course, Sookie gets caught up in the middle of a bunch of it and although she comes out alright she ends up with more burdens than ever.

This was a pretty enjoyable story. Sookie was her same self in this story and was pivotal in the plots and the foiling of them. Although she was with Quinn in this story, their relationship is far from stable and I'm not sure how things will proceed in the next book. She ends up being blood-bonded to Eric which is part of what causes some instability between her and Quinn. With all she goes through and sees, Sookie isn't interested in spending time with Vampires in the future (at least for a while) so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. Overall, the story was interesting and fast paced and I'd recommend it as part of the series. :)

* note - I listened to the audio version of this story and the narrator did a very good job. FYI, the last 30 minutes of the audio version is actually a preview of the next book.

Not the best in the series but a real good addition to it. Still has spelling and grammar errors like the others.

Would read again

A great addition to the longstanding series.  The plot is manageable to listen to as an audio recording (I find some mysteries too hard for my aging brain to keep track of when I cant easily go back to review previous information.). The narrator is first rate.  I do find this series is starting to get repetitive enough that I would not read the entire series.  I actually like this authorsLincoln laywer series better.

This is a nice addition to the series.  Since the book is set in Dallas instead of New York, the book is missing a lot of the interaction between the familiar characters but is somewhat balanced by a pretty good villain.  Same old, same old between Eve and Rourke.  If you like the series, you'll like the book.  The rating is based on the book being what it is - a semi-romance novel with a sort-of mystery interwoven.  No big surprises.  I think the books that are largely set in New York are better.  And I prefer the books less focused on Eve's childhood trauma.  But I read each one as it comes out, mostly enjoy them, and will continue to do so.  This is by no means the best of the series and would not be a good place to start for a new reader.

This is a good addition to the series. Lauren and Reid are a likeable couple. I do wish that Reid had apologized to her after the first time they had sex, when he didn't know she was a virgin, but after that he did treat her better. He just should not have been so sure she would be as bad as his ex wife, and admitted that she was his mate.  Once he decided to give her a chance, though, they did get their HEA.

This is a great addition to the series, bringing together characters from the three previous books: A Palm for Mrs. Pollifax, Mrs. Pollifax on Safari, and Mrs. Pollifax on the China Station. It would be a good idea to read them first so that you know who they are and why they are important to the story. Be prepared, though, for a story that is a little darker than the ones that precede it.

another great addition to the series - enjoyed it well.  if you are not a fan of this series, you are missing out on a good read.

I overall enjoyed this book.  I was worried that the series was going to go downhill quickly after reading the second, however I was pleasantly surprised. The 3rd book was much different than the other two because the whole time was not spent trying to find out who was the killer, but the overall reasoning for the killing and all the ties that were attached to it.  The book was a good addition to the series.

Great addition to the series. While I'm frustrated that so much is yet to be explained, this was a great read. Watching Ana grow from mouse to lion in defense of her siblings and her home has been a delight. The teases here and there of spider and fly (read it and you'll understand) are fun too.

Darnit, going to have to buy the next book now too!
