The Trouble with Twelfth Grave

Charley Davidson #12

Grim Reaper Charley Davidson is back in the twelfth installment of Darynda Jones' New York Times bestselling paranormal series, The Trouble with Twelfth Grave.

Ever since Reyes Farrow escaped from a hell dimension in which Charley Davidson accidentally trapped him, the son of Satan has been brimstone-bent on destroying the world his heavenly Brother created. His volatile tendencies have put Charley in a bit of a pickle. But that's not the only briny vegetable on her plate. While trying to domesticate the feral being that used to be her husband, she also has to deal with her everyday life of annoying all manner of beings--some corporeal, some not so much--as she struggles to right the wrongs of society. Only this time she's not uncovering a murder. This time she's covering one up.

Add to that her new occupation of keeping a startup PI venture--the indomitable mystery-solving team of Amber Kowalski and Quentin Rutherford--out of trouble and dealing with the Vatican's inquiries into her beloved daughter, and Charley is on the brink of throwing in the towel and becoming a professional shopper. Or possibly a live mannequin. But when someone starts attacking humans who are sensitive to the supernatural world, Charley knows it's time to let loose her razor sharp claws. Then again, her number one suspect is the dark entity she's loved for centuries. So the question becomes: Can she tame the unruly beast before it destroys everything she's worked so hard to protect?

Release Day Blitz & Giveway: The Case of the Sexy Shakespearean by Tara Lain

A cozy mystery with a tongue-tied nerd of a history professor tempted by a gorgeous graduate student and millions of dollars if he can solve one of history's greatest mysteries -- who was Shakespeare really?

The Case of the Sexy Shakespearean

by Tara Lain

Blurb:

Dr. Llewellyn Lewis leads a double life, as both an awkward but distinguished history professor and the more flamboyant Ramon Rondell, infamous writer of sensational historical theories. It's Ramon who first sets eyes on a gorgeous young man dancing in a club, but Llewellyn who meets teaching assistant Blaise Arthur formally at an event held for wealthy socialite Anne de Vere, descendant of Edward de Vere, seventeenth Earl of Oxford-who some believe was the real Shakespeare. Anne wants Llewellyn to prove that claim, even though many have tried and failed. And she's willing to offer a hefty donation to the university if he succeeds.

It also means a chance for Llewellyn to get to know Blaise much better.

Not everyone thinks Llewellyn should take the case-or the money. Between feuding siblings, rival patrons, jealous colleagues, and greedy administrators, almost anyone could be trying to thwart his work... and one of them is willing to kill to do it.

When Anne de Vere turns up dead, the police believe Blaise is the murderer. Only the shy, stuttering professor who has won his heart can prove otherwise...

Excerpt

Blaise said, “I’m so sorry, Dr. Lewis. I just don’t have good sense sometimes. I never should have put you in such a terrible position. I apologize from my soul.”

“N-not your f-f-fault.”

“Yes, it is. I completely overstepped my bounds. I feel like I know you, and I acted inappropriately.”

Llewellyn took a breath. “Y-you tried to make me f-feel comfortable.” He spoke slowly and got most of the words out. He didn’t want Blaise to take the blame.

Blaise smiled softly. “Yes, I did.”

Anne stepped closer. “Please don’t go until I’ve had a chance to tell you why I came.”

He met her gaze, and his whole stomach clenched. No. No way. “I—I—”

“Please let me tell you. You must know that Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, is one of the people most often named as the true author of the works of Shakespeare.”

Blaise looked up at Llewellyn. “He is? I thought it was, like, Marlowe or Bacon.”

“No, no.” Anne waved a hand dismissively. “The Earl of Oxford has long been regarded as the most likely candidate to have written both the sonnets and the plays.”

“Yes, he’s one of the top candidates, if you believe such things.” The voice came from the sidewalk beside his car, and Llewellyn looked up to see George Stanley, Van Pelt, the Echevarrias, as well as the whole crew of dinner guests, with one or two defections, gathering there.

If I drive away, maybe I could just go to North Dakota and hide for the rest of my life? He swiped a hand over his face. Right, they love gay freaks there.

Anne frowned. “Not one of them, the most prominent among them, as I’m sure Dr. Lewis will agree.” He said nothing, and she didn’t seem to care. She was on a roll. “It’s been a dream of my family to investigate the earl’s position in this mystery for some time.”

I could run. Forget the car.

“That’s why I’ve sought out Dr. Lewis. He’s renowned throughout the world for uncovering new evidence in some of the great questions of history.” Her voice rang out like she was in a Shakespearean play herself. “That’s why I want him to prove beyond a doubt that my ancestor, Edward de Vere, the seventeenth Earl of Oxford, is the real author of the works of William Shakespeare.”

Llewellyn shook his head back and forth like a befuddled cow. “So many tr-tr-tried. C-can’t—”

She raised her voice even more. “And I’m prepared to present the university with a historical research grant of five million dollars in order to prove this claim. One million to go to Dr. Lewis and the rest for dedication of the history building to my ancestor, Edward de Vere.”

For a second the whole street—the whole world—went silent.

Someone—maybe Echevarria—murmured, “No.”

Then Van Pelt’s voice rang out. “Well, that sounds like one of the most exciting and worthwhile historical research undertakings I’ve ever heard.”

Running wasn’t enough. Maybe he should vomit.

Early Review: Craving His Best Friend's Ex by Katherine Garbera

Heartbreak gives her only one place to turn...the arms of a forbidden man.

Until now, Crissanne Moss has been off-limits. As his best friend's significant other, she is Ethan Caruthers's friend, too. So he's always snuffed out any spark between them. Now Crissanne is single and seeking comfort. Ethan is happy to give her all she needs--and desires. But can their friendship truly become more when one explosive revelation changes everything

3 STARS

Craving His Best Friend's Ex by Katherine Garbera is a good weekend read.  Ethan has been in lust with Crissanne since forever but she has always been off limits.  Everything changes when Crissanne comes knocking on his door.  Crissanne and Ethan have some steamy moments. I really had an issue with Ethan not fighting for what he wanted and Crissanne for not being stronger.   There was a lack of communication between characters that never allowed me to really connect with them. Craving His Best Friend’s Ex has many ups and downs but has a great ending.

Early Review: Deep Cover (Love Over Duty #3) by Scarlett Cole

ARE THEY IN TOO DEEP?

Ex-Navy SEAL Cabe Moss always comes when called to duty―at all costs. Even though the death of his fiancée nearly destroyed him, Cabe won’t let his past interfere with any work that has to get done. When his latest task pushes him to team up with FBI Agent Amy Murray, a fierce beauty with the undercover skills to match, Cabe must admit that, for the first time in years, he wants to do more than just complete their mission together…

Amy was born ready for this assignment, but working side-by-side with the the strong, silent, and frustratingly professional Cabe seems to be the biggest challenge of all. But when the sparks begin to fly―and the stakes rise to dangerous heights―the only thing Amy is left worrying about is how she can resist him. Their lives may be in danger, but their hearts hold the biggest risk of all…

 

4 STARS

Deep Cover is another hit in Scarlett Cole’s Love Over Duty Series!

Cabe Moss is an ex-Navy SEAL and one of three owners with his best friends of Eagle Securities. Two years ago, his fiancé was killed and he’s still dealing with her loss. While out with his friends on what would have been his fiancée’s birthday, he meets a woman at the bar. It’s the first time he’s really noticed another woman since his fiancé’s death, but he leaves before anything can happen.

Little did he know she’s an FBI agent and that they would end up having to work together on a case. His security firm is trying to take down a possible money laundering scheme and the FBI is working a case about missing women employees at the Lucky Seven Casino. The two cases may be connected so they are working together.

Amy goes undercover as a dealer at the casino to try and find out what happened with the missing women while Cabe and his team are doing surveillance/getting intel in the money laundering side of things.

As the two spend more time working together, it’s gets harder to keep things professional between them. The chemistry is hot between these two!

But the stakes are getting higher in the case and danger is just around the corner. Amy has found herself in a very dangerous situation and time is running out to save to her.

With hot romance, suspense and a story that kept me turning the pages, Deep Cover was a very entertaining read!
