Review: A Good Day for Sunshine by Darynda Jones (ARC)

Review: A Good Day for Sunshin..

There is something about the Sunshine Vicram series that just makes me happy and cozy. It has mystery, a bit of fated romance, Gilmore girls-esque mother-daughter banter and love, endearing town residents, all with a bit of tension and danger to finish it off. Buckle in for just one long fan-girly scream because there’s no way I can coherently describe the chaos that is this book. There is so much going on! Jones loves to juggle plot lines and its […]

I loved the first DI Dani Stephens book to the point where I was watching Sinclair’s social media waiting for the cover reveal .

Alongside Dani’s present POV and diary entries, we are also introduced to Steven Grant, a criminology professor with a difficult past. […]

This is my first book for the Cruisin Through Cozies 2019 Reading Challenge hosted over at Socrates Book Reviews. Abby Cooper: Psychic Eye follows a psychic intuitive named, you guessed it, Abby Cooper. Abby, though apparently being quite talented, fails to predict her client’s murder and ends up bumbling through the investigation. Of course the lead detective on the case happens to be the handsome man she went on a blind date with earlier in the week and he is not buying what she is selling.
