This is the third installment of the Catskill Pet Rescue Mystery series, and I loved it so much! Someone from Kari's past comes to town and creates chaos in her life and at the Serenity Sanctuary. I really enjoyed the mystery and trying to figure out the murderer. It was well plotted and well paced, and I thought it wrapped up nicely. As usual, the animals, especially Queenie, were delightful, and I love Kari's friends in her community. I cannot wait for the next one!

This was perfectly fine, but I feel like the synopsis was more exciting than the actual plot. There were a lot of characters but I got used to that. Noodles the dog was the star of the book. I am going to give the second book a chance.

Meh. VERY heavy on the mystery and not enough cozy characters and setting.

A Chorus of Dragons has become one of my favorite series. This has one of the most epic, satisfying conclusion to a series that I've ever read! The characters are favorites for me, and I absolutely loved following them through all the tense adventures, relationship ups and downs, and their epic character arcs. The witty banter is top notch. 

I feel as though the first half of this book is setting up for the epic conclusion, and I thought it was very well done. The climax was well written and well paced (and had me on the edge of my seat)! I came away from the series feeling as though I've been through the emotional wringer but still hopeful. 

Jenn Lyons has become an autobuy author for me, and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for the future!
