My Review of the exciting and hilarious mystery That Old Black Magic by Caroline Fardig

 An exciting and hilarious mystery with sprinkles of romance, May 7, 2015By AngelVerified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: That Old Black Magic (Lizzie Hart Mysteries Book 2) (Kindle Edition)That Old Black Magic by Caroline Fardig is an exciting and hilarious mystery that kept me turning pages, trying to figure out who was hiding behind everything that was happening.

Lizzie Hart is adorable, feisty, smart, and a devoted friend while at the same time, she has an amazing talent to get on people’s nerves and get herself in trouble. She and her friend Julia make an irresistible pair that could turn any normal situation into a total disaster—Well, I shouldn’t say normal because where Lizzie is concerned nothing can be normal.

Still getting over her wounds from the previous time she played Nancy Drew, Lizzie finds herself hunting yet another killer while at the same time trying to decide between drop-dead gorgeous reporter Blake and her ex-boyfriend Lee. Her first date with Blake was a disaster, and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. And this wasn’t the only time I did that. Throughout the book, I found myself laughing my heart out on quite a few of Lizzie’s escapades. And when Blake told Lizzie and Julia “you’re not even fit to be called Nancy Drew anymore. You two have slid down to Lucy and Ethel status” I just laughed till I cried.

Don’t miss this one. It’s a winner!

My Review of Forbidden Disclosure by Terri Marie

 A pleasant modern fairytale, May 2, 2015By AngelVerified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: Forbidden Disclosure (A Billionaire in Disguise Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
Forbidden Disclosure was a pleasant modern fairytale about Daniel Giordano—the spoiled son of billionaire Francesco Giordano. Daniel is forced by his father to change his name, leave his money behind, and try to make it in a small town in Tennessee. He has to live on a limited allowance until he finds a job and proves to his father that he is a worthy heir to his fortune and business.
Country life is hard and quite different from Manhattan, and Daniel goes through hardships and aggravating situations, not to mention his rocky relationship with beautiful Katherine.
The reason I gave it three stars was that the plot didn’t hold any surprises, and I didn’t feel that the characters were believable—people don’t change overnight in real life.

 A fascinating, ethereal and gripping romance, April 27, 2015By AngelThis review is from: The Para-Portage of Emily (Shadow Seduction Series Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
The Para-Portage of Emily is a fascinating, ethereal and gripping romance, with a unique and interesting plot, that keeps the reader captivated in a limbo between reality and dreams.
The gripping love for his wife that haunts Colin for over a century, and Emily’s seduction that lures her into the arms of the shadows left me breathless.

It might sound cliché to call a place a character, but it’s absolutely true in Ms Sefer’s fascinating novel. The descriptions of Mykonos are so well done; I’m ready to book a trip. I won’t rehash the plot, except to say the mystery kept me involved and the romance between Helena and Dimitris sizzled. This book gave me everything a great read should. I can’t wait to read the next in the series.

Irresistible drama is bound to follow suit. The author, Angel Sefer had done a great job in keeping her audience spellbound throughout the book. Like most great love stories, the heroine (in this case - Helena) juggles her affection for Dimitris and her quest to unearth the truth of her father's disappearance when she was a mere child of eight. This book is beautifully written and I applaud the author for her imaginative and riveting storytelling.

Sizzling hot attraction, murder and treachery all take place in this fascinating backdrop. The first book was amazing and this one was even better. On to the next.

But, to give it all up to uncover the mysterious past without knowing what may come of it all? And under the enigmatic prophecies of her grandmother? There's another thing. But, the temptation is unrelenting, the characters are brilliantly written and the plot crafted with an elegant finesse. The romantic tension ignite passion and treachery. You are going to love this spellbinder.

Excerpt from the amazing mystery That Old Black Magic by the master of hilarious mysteries Caroline Fardig

Excerpt:
My best friend Julia plops down on the corner of my desk and sighs loudly.I snicker.  “What’s the matter with you, sunshine?”“Oh, Lizzie, I am soooo bored!”“Um, it’s not exactly a slow news week,” I point out.She pouts, “I know, but now that you’re back from your leave and I don’t have to do your job, I have a lot of free time on my hands.”“I would be happy to go back home and let you do my job.”She smiles.  “Nope.  Don’t do that.  I missed you too much.”“Aw, aren’t you sweet?”“What’s making it worse is that my hubby is gone for a week to a convention,” she whines.“I didn’t know drug dealers had conventions.”She rolls her eyes at me.  “He’s not a drug dealer, he’s a drug sales rep.  We’ve had this discussion before.”Sure we have, but it’s still fun to needle Julia about it.  “Doesn’t he transport drugs around in a duffel bag and distribute them to people?”“You’re so funny.  I’m trying to talk to you about a serious issue here.”“Oh, right.  Not getting any, eh?  I’m very familiar with that problem.”Julia pulls a face.  “Sorry.  I shouldn’t complain.  But this is the first time he’s been gone since we got married.  I do nothing interesting at work all day, then I go home and do nothing interesting at home.  I need some excitement in my life.”“Hmm.  I may have a solution for you.”“Anything!”I hesitate.  “You may not want to say yes until I tell you my evil plan.”“I’m serious.  I’m up for anything.”“You must be really bored.”“You have no idea.”“You asked for it.  Here goes.”  I lean in and whisper, “Wanna help me solve a murder?”She shrieks, “WHAT?”Everyone in the office swivels to glare at us. I hold up my index finger to my lips.  “Shh!  The boss will hear you all the way inside his office.”Julia’s eyes are bugging out of her head.  She whispers, “Are you seriously going to chase a killer around—AGAIN?!?”I protest, “In my defense, I was not chasing a killer around the last time.  I was wrong about who the killer was, and I was chasing around the wrong person.”Finally calming a bit, Julia pleads, “Why don’t we leave it to the police?”“Because they made a mistake and arrested an innocent woman, and now they’re so busy building a case against her, they’re not out looking for the real murderer.  Melody didn’t do it.”“It’s not your problem.”“I realize that, but she asked for my help.  Look at it this way.  You need something to do.  I need someone to watch my back so I don’t get into trouble again.  It’s the perfect solution.”Julia is not convinced.  “I don’t know…”“Just think of it like one of our girls’ nights out, minus the alcohol.”“That doesn’t sound like much fun.”“Oh, c’mon, it will be fun.  I can offer you excitement, intrigue—”“Broken bones,” Julia interrupts, pointing to my Foot-boot.I shrug.  “Well, if you’re too chicken-shit to do this…”Julia glares at me.  “What did you just call me?”  Julia is a total fraidy-cat, but she can’t stand being called names.  Over the years, I’ve learned she will do pretty much anything if you call her a chicken-shit.“I believe I just called you a chicken-shit.  You know, a sissy, a coward, a pansy, a yellow belly, a momma’s—”“I am NOT a chicken-shit.”“Prove it.”“Fine.  I’m all in.  What are we doing?”I smile.  She’s gonna hate this.  “Infiltrating a Wiccan coven.”All of the color drains from her face.  She clears her throat and replies shakily, “Sounds like fun.  And why exactly are we going to do that?”“Because it’s the only place I can think of to start.”

Blurb:
Lizzie Hart hoped her first day back at work after nearly being killed would be uneventful.  No such luck.  Before she can finish her morning coffee, Lizzie and her co-workers find a dead body on the rooftop of their office.  Media vultures that they are, the Liberty Chronicle employees are psyched to have first-hand news to report.  Lizzie, however, is devastated when she realizes that the victim is her ex-boyfriend’s brother.
When evidence begins piling up against one of Lizzie’s friends, she reluctantly dons her detective hat once again, determined to find the real killer.  She’s not thrilled about chasing another psychopath around, but she’ll do anything for a friend.  Lizzie’s love life is rapidly becoming a hot mess, too.  Her latest attempt at sleuthing isn’t leaving much time for her budding romance with town hunk Blake Morgan.  Add that to the fact she’s hiding a secret so big it could rock the very core of their relationship, it’s no wonder that Lizzie’s in a tizzy. 
Poor Lizzie ends up juggling a murder investigation, a wacky Wiccan coven, and two men vying for her attention—all while nursing injuries left over from the last time she decided to play Nancy Drew. It’s a good thing she always has a few tricks up her sleeve.


THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC is the second book in THE LIZZIE HART MYSTERIES series.  It is the sequel to Caroline Fardig’s bestselling debut novel, IT’S JUST A LITTLE CRUSH.
