Thanks Andrew, that's sounds great. I've enjoyed Ruth's first two very much, and I'm looking forward to the last in the trilogy :) I hope others pick it up, those who enjoy YA and Fantasy..



*Squeee* I just saw her insta post with the cover and was going to put it down here but you beat me to it, Brenda - and what gorgeous cover!!! Can't wait for this one. I met her when her last one came out and she was telling me some of her research of this so I've been waiting a while ha ha ha


As you know, Brenda this isn’t a genre I’m a fan of, but I really did like her first book.
There was the element of it in her first book but it was so realistic, as you'd remember. I'm really looking forward to this one Sharon! It sounds pretty amazing.

Attention all fans!!! The 7th and final in the Cooper & Quinn mystery series is out now.
