A Great Series Starter

Hell & High Water by Charlie Cochet

by Leave a Comment

Charlie Cochet is currently running a kickstart to fund special 10th anniversary editions of her THIRDS series, and in my excitement and anticipation I’ve decided to do a whole series re-read. Hell & High Water is the first book and introduces Dexter J. Daley as a detective working for the Human Police Force (HPF) who recently turned his partner in after he shot an unarmed Therian in the back. There is a lot of social conflict between Humans and Therians, and this translates to prejudice […]

Magic Murder Mystery Show

A Midnight Puzzle by Gigi Pandian

by Leave a Comment

A Midnight Puzzle is mostly a cozy mystery with the main investigator being a disgraced professional magician who came home to work at the family construction company which specializes in things like hidden doors/staircases and other sort of magic themed set ups. As with most mystery series, this one has both the first murder (and a related disappearance), as well as a longer running one which is always in the background. Tempest, her family, and friends are all fun characters with their own quirks who […]

Amazing Blackfeet Thriller!

Looking for Smoke by K. A. Cobell

This book was so incredible. If you liked The Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley, Looking for Smoke goes hand in hand as another novel where a teen girl has to figure out what is happening in her community. Looking for Smoke follows Mara Racette, recently moved to the Blackfeet Rez in Browning, Loren Arnoux, whose older sister went missing three months earlier, Brody Clark, who has a crush on Loren and the joker of their friend group, and Eli First Kill, whose biggest concern is […]

Finding the Killer with the Weapon in the Place my own way

Murdle vol.2 by G.T. Karber

by Leave a Comment

I have noticed that the eastern Midwest has a somewhat superior version of WalMart called Meijer. I was in one recently killing time before heading to the airport; I did an impulse grab of Murdle vol. 2. I’ve seen these puzzle books around and thought it looked interesting but never enough to really get into one. The series started as a web game based on the word-based game of great popularity, and apparently has grown into print. The general premise is (as noted on the […]

The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell

by Leave a Comment

So, it turns out, that Goodreads Giveaways are real! I won a copy of The Golden Spoon and about a week and a half after the email, the book did indeed appear. I have to admit, I’d only been submitting to those only half believing it was a real thing. The Golden Spoon was billed as Great British Bake off meets Clue, so I was figuring it’s a murder mystery on a baking competition, which is accurate. Ever wonder who would win in a fight […]
