haha i used too many tags on that last post
#tropes#anyways as i wrote out:#you know the classic mystery plotline chapter by chapter#set up unusual crime. introduce detective(s) including their gimmick. the true culprit has to be among the first wave of characters.#establish semi obvious explanation. threaten detective. plot twist--different explanation.#shocking reveal. obvious villain was red herring; true culprit is nearby & reveals their motive. detective lays out info.#villain gets ironic comeuppance. denouement. fin#this series went the 'gimmicky amateur detective + hardnose cop with actual legal authority' route#offbrand phryne & jack#not that it mattered since none of the ironic comeuppances meant legal consequences#which really just emphasizes the 'police beating confessions out of people is ok if its for a good reason (:' thinking#the historical setting in the first book took a little bit of care about establishing historic norms and what life was like#the rest were basically 'horses and gaslamps. did you know the cops used to beat people? crazy! CONFESS.'#teddy roosevelt showed up at a few points as one of the MCs' friends#you're supposed to think the MCs are really cool and special but they just...aren't#you know when an author WANTS you to feel a certain way but shows you the puppet strings too much?#this was constant#it dawned on me that it wasnt going to get better & sometimes a series makes money bc it comes out every year.#yeah no like literally teddy roosevelt

Review: Across Space and Time (Tales from the Tarot novel) by Kit Barrie
Rating: 4�� Across Space and Time is Kit Barrie’s historical horror romance thriller. It’s a part of the fabulous multi-author Tales from the Tarot series which includes such elements as a mystical place called The Magic Shop with its eerie ever present, The Owner, covers which have a particular tarot card on them that relates to the story, and definitely forwards and warnings that should be…

Murder at Spindle Manor
After a long time, I’m back with a review of Murder at Spindle Manor by Morgan Stang. This is a book that I went into with high expectations because after that cover and that blurb, how can you NOT? I am happy to say that this book lived up to every one of those expectations. The world building is something I found very unique and I absolutely loved it. The MC, Isabeau Agarwal, is a Huntress,…

REVIEW
Spirit Guide by Byrd Nash
Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #3
Elinor Chalamet has her hands full training her new apprentice when Tristan Fontaine shows up with a friend who is seeking his daughter. With the skills she has learned when trained by the Morpheus Society she searches for Ebbe, works to improve Twyla’s paranormal abilities, and finds herself busy in the beyond as well as in the mundane world. Great addition to the series.
What I liked:
* Elinor: strong, dedicated, skilled in her craft, a bit impatient, seeking the murderer of her father, curious, protective, wily, attracted to Tristan
* Tristan: Duke, works for the king, strong, intelligent, good friend, focused, ruthless when necessary, loyal, attracted to Elinor
* Twyla: young, a bit awkward and clumsy, seems a bit scatter brained, improves with guidance, look forward to hearing more about her
* Seeing some of the characters from previous stories: Charlotte, Marcus, Anne-Marie
* The way the story moved between planes and what happened
* That the mystery was solved, and the evil person dealt with
* The lead into the next novella
What I didn’t like
* Who and what I was meant not to like: Parnell Lafayette, the serial killer Ghost, and what was being done to young women for nefarious purposes
* Not really a dislike BUT would like to see the relationship between Elinor and Tristan move forward and also find out who killed Elinor’s father…I am sure it will all be revealed eventually.
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes
Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and BookSirens for the ARC – This is my honest review.
4-5 Stars
BLURB
Are missing girls linked to a mysterious séance where ghosts become real? When a nobleman’s daughter goes missing, Elinor Chalamet and Tristain Fontaine, the Duke de Archambeau, must work together to discover who has kidnapped her and why. Saddled with a bumbling apprentice, a drunk soldier, and a prickly nobleman who won’t explain why he hasn’t paid a proper call, Elinor must decide if the Society is hiding something from her. When the investigation reveals a connection to an old rival, she finds herself going it alone, something Tristan had demanded she not do. Will her dance with ghosts be a permanent arrangement? And when Tristan Fontaine discovers her missing, who will be able to face his wrath? Elinor Chalamet uses her wits and her ghost-talking skills to hunt for her father’s killer in Alenbonné, a coastal city where ghosts walk at all hours. The third of a six-part gaslamp fantasy ghost mystery series featuring a Sherlock Holmes-like female character in a slow burn romance. _____________________________________________ A six part novella series for lovers of Gaslamp fantasy #1 Ghost Talker #2 Delicious Death #3 Spirit Guide #4 Gray Lady #5 Underground Haunt #6 Ghastly Mistake

The Reanimator's Soul Cover Reveal
The grand event has finally arrived! Today is the cover reveal for THE REANIMATOR'S SOUL. Click the link to see the amazing work Crowglass Design created for it.
I have been sitting on this cover for a few weeks now, and I am SO excited to share it with you. Once again, I worked with Crowglass Design to create the perfect cover for Oliver and Felipe’s next adventure. I thought book one was the best cover I’ve ever seen, but book two upped the ante. It also fits perfectly with what happens in this book, but I can’t give it away. If you haven’t read book…

Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites
In a world of dwindling hope, love has never mattered more...
Captain Nathan J. Northland had no idea what to expect when he returned home to Lorehaven injured from war, but it certainly wasn’t to find himself posted on an island full of vampires. An island whose local vampire dandy lord causes Nathan to feel strange things he’d never felt before. Particularly about fangs.
When Vlad Blutstein agreed to hire Nathan as Captain of the Eyrie Guard, he hadn’t been sure what to expect either, but it certainly hadn’t been to fall in love with a disabled werewolf. However Vlad has fallen and fallen hard, and that’s the problem.
Torn by their allegiances–to family, to duty, and the age-old enmity between vampires and werewolves–the pair find themselves in a difficult situation: to love where the heart wants or to follow where expectation demands.
The situation is complicated further when a mysterious and beguiling figure known only as Lady Ursula crashes into their lives, bringing with her dark omens of death, doom, and destruction in her wake.
And a desperate plea for help neither of them can ignore.
Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites by Joy Demorra is a queer, paranormal, gaslamp fantasy romance novel featuring enchanted forests, gothic castles, and just a smidge of industrial coal dust, and is the first book of the Hunger Pangs slow-burn polyamorous romance series. Join Vlad, Nathan, and Ursula as they navigate a magical world torn asunder war and politics as they work to restore balance to the world and find love along the way. Book one is available now in ebook, paperback, and audio.
