The story took awhile to get moving, but as this is the first book in the Larue Donavan series, that's okay with me. The characters are likeable and funny, especially the main character - bookshop owner and ghost hunter - Larue Donavan and I never mind when the "villain" is over-the-top "bad", as...
I've read every single book by Rose Pressey and some even twice!!! I have watched this AMAZING woman, author, role model and she raises a family and takes care of her adorable dogs, move up rapidly in within the ranks of being one of the top selling authors in several genres!!! She's amazing and ...
This was the first book I read of this author's. It was ok... The characters and situation was interesting enough to continue reading, but there was something to be left desired with the actual writing style, for me."I need to trust him to make this work. In order for me to succeed, I need to t...
Hmmm where to start...it has an interesting storyline, but terribly executed. It is insanely very wordy with info-dumping galore (well actually more like description-dumping). Show, not tell! The main character is shallow and whiny as hell, and despite the increasingly dangerous predicament she i...
Great story, solid 2nd book in this series. I couldn’t put it down.Larue just can’t catch a break. She and Callahan try to pick up where they left off by going out on a date. When Callahan comes to pick her up Larue meets his Grandfather’s ghost, Seth. Then she gets an urgent phone call and they ...
This was the first book of this particular author that I have read. I liked the book so much I bought the second book in the series and finished it as well.What I loved: The lead female was a hoot and so was her crazy mother. It was so easy to envision both of them with the well thought out chara...
Another cute story in this series. A quick, easy, and light read. Again if you are looking for a lot of character development and plot, this is not for you. But if you are looking for easy and fun, don't be afraid to pick this up. It seems as though time moves in fast forward in the town. Wh...
Cute is the first word that popped into my head after reading this. It was cute but not really much of a mystery book. Yes a person was murdered but Raelynn doesn't necessarily solve the case like most cozy mysteries so much as has the murderer screw up and get themselves caught for sheer stupidi...
While I enjoy a good romance (steamy and not so steamy) lately I found that most of the romance books I have read was all about the steam and not the plot or character development. This series including the first book was cute with plenty of character development, light romance, good plot lines a...
I had no idea why Nicolas and Liam would be here. I’d never heard them mention this place before. My mother drove through the French Quarter, which was terrifying enough without me being worried about being chased by Monique and her goons. At least we could see Annabelle again now. I had to find ...
Tammy brushed her hair out of her eyes. Annie sent me a text. I agree. That was terrifying. “Are you okay?” I asked. Tammy touched her face where she’d been slapped. “I’m fine. They were strong.” Cady finally came over. “Han...
I was glad they hadn’t noticed that I had followed them. I would have to ask Max once again if he knew why they had followed him. He had to if he knew that they had been behind him. He had to know why. He was being too secretive. I should have taken that as a clue and just minded my own business....
We passed all the familiar spots in the French Quarter and I couldn’t help but notice some of Jennifer’s favorite places. Unfortunately, her favorite café and boutique were closed, so that ruled out those options. Maybe we should check the Victoria’s Secret at the mall. No, she only wanted to go ...
Don’t use plastic because it can trap moisture. Even after the weird encounter with Brooke I’d managed to find a few awesome pieces. Actually, I was shocked at the good items I’d found. The first thing I’d spotted was an adorable Gucci 1970s pullover sweater. It had a delicate band of lace on...
After dressing in my black skirt and gray blouse with black heels, I hurried out the door. I left a batch of cookies at Mrs. Perkins’ door. There was no need to wake her so early. Okay, to be honest I didn’t want to answer her questions. As I rushed toward the café, I hope...
“Okay, I guess I’ve read enough for the day.” “Ah, I was just getting into it,” Roger said. Now even he was enjoying the story. I looked at the clock. It was almost closing time. The last streaks of daylight fell across the sky. At least the clouds ...
Flat on her stomach, she lay with her head twisted in an awkward position, her face to the side and her eyes wide open. In spite of her unfortunate condition, her blonde bob looked as if she’d just stepped out of the salon. As I rushed over, I tossed my mug to the ground. I’d never had any emerge...
When we stepped through the door, Cooper’s eyes widened. “Elvis Presley follows you everywhere you go? I thought that was a one-time thing. I’m impressed.” I smirked, as if to say, yeah, I’m good. “Never mind that. I have another bone to pick with you. What did that woman want?” I pointed toward ...
Janet Evanovich Praise for Me and My Ghoulfriends by Rose Pressey “Rose Pressey spins a delightful tale with misfits and romance that makes me cheer loudly.” Coffee Time Romance “Her characters are alive and full of quick witted charm and will make you laugh. The plot ...
Of course she really wouldn’t have done anything to him, at least I didn’t think so. After Ross had gone, I’d eaten a fresh blueberry muffin that I’d baked and then climbed into the shower to get ready for my lunch with Kent. He was picking me up so that we could eat at Gr...
My legs would punish me for this exercise later. We garnered a few strange stares as we ran out of the building, but at least we escaped. The fact that I managed to snap a photo of the man on my way out the door was nothing short of amazing. Now we just needed to find out ...
He’d convinced me to talk with the neighbors. I’d warned him that this might not go well. “Like I said, they already know something happened. I’m sure they would appreciate you actually coming to their house and talking to them about it,” Derek said. I glanced at Derek. “...
I said, still trying to figure out if my mind was playing tricks on me. “Unfortunately, it was rescheduled,” he answered. “Since I have nothing to do now, I was wondering if you would like to get lunch in town? I saw this great little café on Main Street.” &nbs...
Filled with anticipation, I was eager to start. Also, my ghost-hunting gang was coming over for a mini-investigation. Things would move along quickly now, my confidence spiked. After grabbing a leftover cupcake for breakfast, I headed toward Maple Hill Road. When I pulled in the driveway, an over...
is not a pet name. Well, I had figured that much. The vampires following him around were one indication. “What do you mean he is in danger? Can you tell me more?” “I'm afraid I cannot. I don't see anything more than that. He is a living vampire now. Trapped between the two worlds. This is not g...
Mae stood by the front door, peeking out. “What's wrong now?” I asked. “Over here. I thought I saw someone watching you in the window.” My heart thumped. I knew I should have left the shades down. I’d thought the sunshine would help my depression. I threw my book down and made a dash for the lamp...
Delicate pieces probably aren’t the best choice for day-to-day wear. I motioned with a tilt of my head. “Charlotte is here.” Alice stared at Charlotte. “So you’re the ghost I’ve heard so much about.” Charlotte had big ebony eyes and shoulder-length brown hair. Her makeup and hair were always flaw...
