Congrats, y'all! I've updated the list based on emails received to this point (3:50p EST). If you don't see a completed puzzle listed, please let me know.

Pls, no spoilers, email only 😉 But, I’ll go ahead and let ya know for your 1st post: 2 wrong, 2 correct. For your 2nd , your guess was correct. Sadly, I’m limited to Apple’s emojis so I had to get creative.

Thanks so much, Amyiw! Thanks for hanging out with us 😊

😊 WTG! Your request to stamp A has been approved; if you have any issues stamping your card, let me know. Once you’ve stamped your card, go to the Captain’s Log and share a link with us. Thx!

Hi, Amyiw. That’s right. Please submit any other puzzle answers to seriesoverload@gmail.com with all of the required info for a chance to win instead of answering in the thread. Don’t wanna tease anyone with the answers. Thanks 😊 And, if you’d like this entered in the prize drawing I’ll need the requested info. Thanks!

?😬 I’m sorry. I’m not certain I’m understanding your post. You did the 299-piece puzzle? WTG! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I like how the pieces kinda snap together when they’re put together correctly.

If you’d like to have it entered for the prize draw, I’m sorry to ask, but I need you to submit the required info. You can put together the much easier 24-piece puzzle for your screenshot though. No need to repeat the 299 beast.

Don’t forget to stamp your card for Day 2’s call, Eldarwen 😊

Welcome, Amyiw. Nope. No free spaces for this one, so you’ll need to remove that stamp 😉

WTG, Amyiw! I’ll be posting new puzzles Wed, Thurs & Fri if you’d like to check out others. New list of puzzles are posted here each day.

😁🥳 thanks, Amyiw!

You did 😁 and I thank you

Seduction in Death by J.D. Robb
Series: In Death #13
Shelf #9: A - Alpha male
Read: 3 May
Rating: ✮✮✮✮☆

My Review:

... they'd created their own world, their own rules. The primary rule was never, never to be bored.
[...]
'Turns at bat' is an accurate analogy. He, or they, are game players. There's a need here to dominate women, to debase them, but to do so with what is perceived as style and charm.

This installment was more disturbing because of these two "challenging" each other. It'd be understandable should fans of the series find this one unreadable. Robb's writing pulls you into the scenes and they can be tough to read.

"Officer Peabody, will you verify the asshole's opinion?"

"Yes, sir, Lieutenant, the asshole is correct. You are the supreme bitch cop."

But, Eve is there, as always, to bring justice to the perpetrators. In spite of her past, she pushes through the nightmares and faces the evil to, once again, stand for the dead.

"Big deal when you're tall and thin with jungle-cat eyes and have a sexy little dent in your chin."

"You coming onto me, Peabody?"

"My love for you is a fearsome thing, Dallas. But I've given up dating cops."

My love for Peabody is growing with each book. She's the perfect aide for Eve. She's tough with a soft center, hardworking with a wicked sense of humor and has a very respectable love of food. She's shocked when McNab comes crashing back into her personal life all battered and bruised. He's made assumptions about her relationship with Charles and jumps to her defense, sweetly, but unnecessarily. All of it a hoot! Maybe now they're both ready to admit their feelings.

I've been so connected to these characters that it feels weird leaving them for any other series. "So many books, so little time" So very true!!
