😁I’m behind on that one (EA), but making some progress w/it.
I’ve only read bk1 of Rylee, but I did read most of her Elemental series, which I think might be connected.
👍🏼😊
There will be 3 Pictionary Doodles: Monday, Wednesday & Friday. These are my poor attempts to doodle the title of three popular books from 2010. So, please don't be too harsh with your criticisms. I enjoy doodling, but, I'll be the first to admint, that doesn't mean I'm good at it. 🤭
Since I think this might be one of the more challenging of my puzzles this week, there will only be 1 Jumble Match puzzle. It will be posted on Monday.
Mini Bingo is purely for the fun of the game. There will be no reading required. A link for you to create your personal bingo card will be provided today. A "typical bingo call" will be made daily, starting Monday, until we have a winner.
The board is only 3x3, so there may be multiple winners. No worries, all simultaneous winners will be counted, but once we have a winner the game ends, no add'l calls will be made.
To be counted as a "simultaneous winner" you must submit your winning card within 24 hours of the first winning card being announced.
There will be 20 Guess the Emojified Title puzzles (4/day): Mon-Fri. These are my (likely poor) attempts to turn book titles into emojis. My emojified titles are literal, I didn't throw in any descriptors or try to explain the book using emojis. These are very simply emojified titles (minus prepositions).

Read: 19 April
Rating: ✮✮✮✮☆
My Review:
"Funny how we all frown over a dirty cop, but nobody wants to rub elbows with the ones digging them out."In this installment, cops are being murdered. While trying to uncover the murderer, Eve encounters and begins to suspect an old associate of Roarke's and possibly a dirty cop. During the investigation, a former coworker, now IAB officer Webster comes to her with some information. The twists and turns in this one didn't keep me from guessing the bad guy(s), but that didn't make the journey to the reveal any less entertaining.
"How long are you going to be pissed off at me?"Eve and Roarke have their first fight and it's keeps them off balance for a bit. But, when they finally take the time to explain their different perspectives and feelings they realize the reasons for their upsets were the same - fear of losing the other.
"I haven't decided. But I'll be sure to let you know."
"You're making me feel like a jerk."
"Darling, you managed that perfectly well on your own."
"You didn't figure the man factor. They got dicks. You can't ever forget the dick when you're dealing with a man.While Eve was struggling to understand what had upset Roarke so badly, she ends up visiting Mavis who puts it all into a perspective Eve can understand. And, it was hilariously BFF-style chatter that we've yet to see up to this point. Eve's very lucky to have Mavis and Mira in her life. Those two women understand Eve and help her when she cannot make heads or tails of what she's feeling.
The dick's connected to the ego. It's medical fact. Or maybe it's the other way around. It's a mystery to all womankind."
"I think I'm in love with your wife."The exchanges between these two men was a hoot. I really loved his (view spoiler) honesty. I was really hoping and happy things worked out the way they did for him in the end.
"That's indeed a problem. I have to admire your courage in saying that to my face."
As always, delving into the darkness with Eve was an enjoyable ride and one I will be continuing.
Dive back into Kindle book series with the new 'Recaps' feature now available in the US: https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/book...I haven’t checked for it on my Kindle yet, but if/when it’s available it could be helpful if done well.
I’m hesitant ‘bout reading your full review, but happy to see you rated it so high when it’d initially been a pause for ya. I’ve finished mine, too, and will get my review up before our next shelf. Another good one. Glad I’ve finally gotten some momentum on this series 😊
👍🏼 I’ve been enjoying it. Finished #11 😊

All good, Kari :)
