Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the eARC of Darling Girls.  All opinions in this review are my own.

I don't like reading about child abuse and after reading 26%, I realized this is not the book for me.

Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the eARC of Public Anchovy #1!  All opinions in this review are my own.

Public Anchovy #1 is the third book in the Deep Dish Mystery series, but the second one that I have read.  While I liked Ashes to Ashes, Crust to Crust, Public Anchovy #1 is easily my favorite in the series so far!  

I am always a fan of closed circle mysteries so I already knew I was going to enjoy this one!  I loved the setting in an old house during a bad storm and the havoc that Butterball the cat always creates in these books!  I am already looking forward to the next installment in the Deep Dish series and can't recommend this cozy mystery enough!

Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the eARC of Second Chance at the Orchard Inn!  All opinions in this review are my own.

Second Chance at the Orchard Inn is such a cute second chance romance!  I like that there isn't a lot of tension between Aurora and Jude.  Since they broke up because of distance, it made their coming back together more believable.  I could easily see this being turned into a summer Hallmark movie!  

In the beginning of the book, I had trouble differentiating between the characters so I wish I had read the first book in the series, Something Blue.  I feel like it was expected that you had read the first one so you didn't need as much of a refresh on the characters.

The bonus novella included is Only Home With You by Jeannie Chin, another second chance romance.  While Second Chance at the Orchard Inn is sweet, Only Home With You is much spicier!

Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the eARC of Snow Place For Murder.  All opinions in this review are my own.

I liked the setting of this cozy mystery but I unfortunately had to DNF it.  I read to 22% and learned more about managing a lodge than solving a mystery.  It felt like a lot of fluff, especially the chapters from the cat's point of view, when I was looking for a more fast-paced mystery.

Thank you Celadon and NetGalley for the eARC of Listen For The Lie!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I think my expectations were too high for this thriller.  Listen For The Lie has been getting so many great reviews and I loved A Good Girl's Guide to Murder so I expected it would be similar based on the premise.  I enjoyed reading it and finished it after only two days, but I was expecting it to have more twists.  The only real surprise at the end is the big reveal which was to be expected anyway.  While I didn't love this one, I would read more by this author.
