A book a month 2018

I really enjoyed trying the book a month challenge.  So once again I'm going to continue with the series that I've been reading.


January: Catch of the Dead (A Hooked & Cooked Cozy Mystery Series Book 5) Lyndsey Cole 10 out of 10. This one ha me guessing at each turn of the page as to who the killer was. It was down to four people at the end. I was leaning towards the father. But I was wrong. I told Bob a bit about the book and asked him who he thought it was he guessed right. I have to say I really liked this book.

Caught Dead Handed (A Hooked & Cooked Cozy Mystery Series Book 6), Lyndsey Cole 11 out of 10. Wow! what a turn of the pages book.  Or more so the flick of the pages since I'm reading on my kindle. I so didn't see the person as the killer. I totally kept changing my mind as to who it was. I had it between three people, but it turned out to be someone who I wasn't looking towards as the killer. 

February A Fowl Feast (A Hooked & Cooked Cozy Mystery Series Book 7) Lyndsey Cole  0.4 out of 10. The worst one yet. It seemed as though this one dragged along.  While it was nice that Ms. Cole didn't rush this one that much, it was really boring. It would have been nice to know how the murder victim was killed.  Instead of he was dead on Cal's boat. The ending was okay, but that part was rushed. It would have been better to nix some of the middle parts and added on to the ending.



March Cherry Buried Cake (Black Cat Cafe Cozy Mystery Series Book 13) Lyndsey Cole 10 out of 10.  WOW! This one was really good.  I really didn't see the killer coming.  I totally thought it was someone else.   The one thing I would change is some of the beginning.  I would add more detail to how the first victim was killed.  Yes, I said the first victim because in this book two people are killed.  Maybe add some recipes to the story would have been nice.


End of Lyndsey Cole Books for now.  I'm in hopes some more will come out soon.  I'm really enjoying reading both series.  At the time I'm looking for Aprils book.  Also, fair season is upon us so reading is somewhat taking the back burner, for some renaissance fun and some walking.

April/May  Ugg time flies when you're reading a book a month or more.  I've started a new series, however, with it being the fair season I've been busy with that.  So it has taken me some time to read this book. 


The Sweet Dreams Bake Shop (A Sweet Cove Mystery Book 1) J A Whiting  8.5 out of 10 Finished at the end of May.  I have to say that the author really keeps you in suspense. I love how the cat was one of the main characters of the story. The book was well written, and I am looking forward to reading more of the series. 


July/Oct A Fatal Fish Fry (A Hooked & Cooked Cozy Mystery Series Book 8) Lyndsey Cole 4 out of 10.  Wow! This one took me a long time to read.  It started off really slow.  I really love the series, but it seems to me as though Ms. Cole let the ball drop on this one.   This one was really slow.  While I liked how Ms. Cole leads up to who murdered poor Jenny Jay, I believe that it took to a long time to even plot out who the killer was.  I do have to say the part I enjoyed the most was the huge interaction with the characters.  I've been
