Review: In Case of Emergency by E. G. Scott

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: In Case of Emergency by E. G. Scott

This book had so much potential for me. I loved the premise and I was excited to read it. It sounded like it was going to be quite the nail bitter and I think the cover has a lot of visual interest to grab readers right away.

I love books like this where the main character is a suspect in the murder of a complete stranger. For some reason that troupe always draws me in because that has got to be someone’s worst nightmare.

I mean, I don’t know what I would do if I was being treated as a person of interest in a murder of a person I had never met before. So right away this one sounded so amazing to me and I couldn’t wait to crack it open.

Re-Share Review: The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Re-Share Review: The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James

I can whole heartedly say that Simone St James is one of my favorite authors and she is an auto buy for me whenever she has something new coming out. I absolutely love all her spooky vibes and her books are always top notch.

I have liked some better than others but this one was one of my absolute favs and now that it’s out in paperback I wanted to re-share my original review with you guys. The Sun Down Motel really took the cake for me. I loved the murder mystery as well as the supernatural elements and it’s a story that has stayed with me for quite some time.

I cannot wait to see what St James has up for us next but for right now, if you haven’t read this book, now if the perfect time with the paperback out now! If you haven’t read it yet, you really need to!

Special Feature: The Solace of Bay Leaves (A Spice Shop Mystery #5) by Leslie Budewitz

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Special Feature: The Solace of Bay Leaves (A Spice Shop Mystery #5) by Leslie Budewitz

One of the things that caught my eye about this series is the setting. I absolutely live Pike’s Market in Seattle and the author captures the vibrance of that market in this series. I can just picture this spice shop at Pike’s Market and for me that really made the books I have read!

Sadly I couldn’t fit this latest installment to the series into my review calendar but I wanted to get this one on your radar, especially if you are a fan of cozy mysteries. I believe that each book could be read as a standalone but for overall effect, I would start with the first one, but again it’s not necessary.

The author has also done a great job creating likable characters that stand out as well as a masterfully crafted mystery. Keep reading for all the details about this upcoming installment to this cozy mystery and be sure to get it on your TBR this fall!

Review: The Light at Wyndcliff (Cornwall #3) by Sarah E. Ladd

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: The Light at Wyndcliff (Cornwall #3) by Sarah E. Ladd

I have only read one or two books by Sarah Ladd and I have enjoyed them but this isn’t an author that I would go in search of at a bookstore—until now.

This cover is what initially drew me in but the description of the book is what made me agree to reviewing it. Before this book, Sarah Ladd would have been an author that I would have picked up if I saw the book on an end cap or something or other, but after reading this one, I would gladly go in search of her novels the next time I go to a bookstore.

There is something so mysterious and alluring about the Cornish coast for me and this book captured all the things I like best about historical romances. I have also decided that I need the other books in the series as well because I am not ready to leave the Cornish coast just yet.
