One of my favorite series. This time around a car accident, turned homicide, keeps the crew, and friends, at Sip and Spin on their toes. Pair that  mystery with a decision of the heart, too long in the making, and we've got a cozy mystery winner.

This is such a fun series and one lovers of this genre will enjoy. I sincerely appreciate the author and NetGalley for the review copy.

I'm on a roll with cozies this month and having fun reading them. I really enjoy the different settings and places too.  This time I was whisked away to Edinburgh, where a sword, a murder and of course the mystery surrounding it all had me lost in sleuthing heaven.

I haven't read any other books in this series and lately I seem to be finding books out of order but that didn't take anything away from the story or the characters. It does make me want to go back and read the other installments though. Looks like more fun reading ahead. 

I sincerely appreciate the author and NetGalley for the review copy.

I cannot come up with any words to adequately describe my feelings on this one. If you read this one, be ready.

Elishaba is a courageous and amazing person. To go through all she has and still find happiness and have enough love for, not only herself, but others around her is inspiring.

This book is proof of why I love cozy mysteries the best. You can usually start anywhere in the series, and not be confused. I jumped into book six of this series, and I enjoyed every minute of it. 

I wasn't lost, I love the characters, I loved the mystery, and I absolutely adore Sawdust and reading blurbs of his perspective. This was an all-around treat, and now I need to go back and read all of the other books preceding this one.

I sincerely appreciate the author and NetGalley for the review copy.

Each book I read gets better and better. Absolutely love this series and can I just say... FINALLY! If you know, you know. If you don't, start with book one and binge read.

I love Delilah and Capone. They are a great sleuthing duo.  Delilah's crew is great too and adds the perfect taste to the story. This mystery was a fun one.

I am so thankful to the author and NetGalley for the review copy. On to the next installment!

I LOVE Delilah! She is such a great main character and makes this cozy mystery a fun read. Butterball plays a bigger part in this one and I love how it plays out. Perfect one for Cozy Mystery fans.

This was a very cute and very quick read. It reads more like a YA romance than a contemporary one despite the main characters being in their 20s. I didn't mind that aspect but some readers may not enjoy it.

I love the short chapters and the dual timelines. The story itself was sweet and overall I enjoyed this one. 

I sincerely appreciate the author and NetGalley for the review copy.

Absolutely LOVE this series. Every book is a delight, full of crazy shenanigans and chaos.  Vero and Finlay are the perfect main characters and have me laughing often. This book was no different and I was here for it. I cannot wait for the next installment.

I sincerely appreciate the author and NetGalley for the review copy.

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I started reading this one. This is really good one for Spooktober, especially for those who want a scary story, but also want a storyline.

Even though the story was okay, I just didn't love this one. Overall, I just couldn't get into it as a whole. I didn't really like either of the two main characters, and it just wasn't all that spooky for me. 

I think others who are not seasoned horror readers may like this one more. I sincerely appreciate the author and NetGalley for the review copy.
