The Devil’s Triangle is the fourth book in A Brit in the FBI series and is my first. I was able to pick up with the story without having read the other books in the series.

This was quite an action-packed thriller. I love books with a historical element and this had a lot of it. Topics included: Tesla’s inventions, Da Vinci, The Ark of the Covenant, The Bermuda Triangle, and controlling the earth’s weather. I thought the story flowed well and the author was able to hold my attention throughout.

My favorite characters were Nicholas and Michaela, both FBI agents in charge of the Covert Eyes team. Kitsune was also an interesting character. She is a thief who stole an artifact and then finds out the client who hired her wants her dead. She ends up asking the FBI Covert Eyes team for help so an unlikely partnership develops.

I would definitely read more from this series and recommend it to anyone who loves a good mystery/thriller/suspense with some historical elements. Four out of five stars for The Devil’s Triangle!!!

Thank you Catherine Coulter, J.T. Ellison, Gallery, Threshold, & Pocket Books, and NetGalley for providing me with a digital copy of this book to read.

Lethally Green is the first book by author, Amber Boffin. This is a Maggie Flanagan Cozy Mystery set in peaceful cottage country of Ontario, Canada.

The main character, Maggie Flanagan, has recently moved back to her childhood home and made a career change. Maggie is attempting to make it as a photographer. She ends up finding a body on her property and then another later in the story. She finds herself close to the investigation and begins working on her own as an amateur sleuth.

I loved the “outdoorsy” country setting. It reminds me of where I live in Southeast Ohio (without the moose lol). I like reading the descriptions of the wildlife and the author included a couple of rescue dogs named Beans and Carrot that were just adorable. I thought the cover art for the book was amazing. The author did a wonderful job holding my interest throughout the book. I enjoyed the ending and I did not guess who the murderer was.

This was a great opener to hopefully a series of more Maggie Flanagan mysteries. I would definitely read more from Amber Boffin and recommend it to anyone who loves a good cozy mystery with a side of nature/wildlife mixed in. Four out of five stars for Lethally Green!!!

Thank you Amber Boffin, Avenoak, and Cozy Mystery Review Crew for providing me with a print copy of this book to read.

The Perfect Stranger is my first read by author, Megan Miranda. This is a story about secrets, lies, and past lives. I do love the author’s writing style. Megan Miranda is good at weaving a tale of suspenseful mystery. The cover art for this book was very cool.

I felt the pace was good but throughout most of the book I was just confused. Maybe it was just me but I struggled to keep everything straight. I didn’t care for any of the characters which makes it hard for me to get into a story. Overall I thought the book was okay and I would read more written by the author.

Three out of five stars for The Perfect Stranger!!!

Book Review: Never Let You Go by Chevy Stevens

Never Let You Go is my first read by author, Chevy Stevens. The main characters include Lindsey Nash, an abused wife and mother, and her daughter, Sophie. This is a story about domestic abuse that Lindsey endured for years then finally her ex-husband is put into prison. Lindsey and her daughter Sophie start their lives over and years later her ex-husband is released from prison. I won’t go any further because I don’t want to spoil anything but it really gets good at the end.

The only parts of the book I didn’t really care for were the parts about Sophie and her teenage love life. But the pace picked back up and I totally never saw this ending coming. Lindsey and Sophie proved to be very tough women throughout the story. The abusive parts were not written in great detail so it was sort of softened for the reader. Although it was written that way the reader could still feel the fear that Lindsey had for her abusive husband. I would definitely read more from this author and would recommend her books to others. Four out of five stars for Never Let You Go!!!
