Critic reviews

A wonderful read

I can’t wait to get to the next book in the series. Listening to this particular book brought back so many memories. As a child and a adult I have traveled through all the areas the author spoke of in this book When reading this wonderful story I looked up the other areas and realized I will be in the area during this summer. Looking forward to it. Getting back to the book that kept me so close to the characters and story before I new it I finished. The story excellent and narrator is perfect. ENJOY

So Many Surprises

This series just keeps getting better and better. What will I do when I finish this series? I KNOW ALREADY AGAIN!! Read them again. And put them on the reading list for this coming fall! Or winter. Both? Hmmmm 🤔👌

WARNING: Has An Explicit Graphic Scene!

This might not be important to all readers, but it's worth noting for some. This book has a pretty intense graphic sex scene. It caught me off guard because I've listened to all the books & it came from out of nowhere. Cozy mysteries don't usually cross into that territory so it's just important to note. It's a rather lengthy scene with rather explicit and graphic language.
As far as the story overall I found it intriguing & I love how the characters are evolving throughout this story. They each have their identities & Olivia continues to explore her past and learn more about who she is & where she comes from. It held my attention from start to finish!

Keeps getting better

Didn't much enjoy the first book in this series, but as I liked the authors other works, I decided to give it abot
