Completion Post - Free SpaceBook: A Sinister Revenge
Date Read: 5/6
Rating: 5 stars
Pages: 310
How it fits: Found on the SOS Group Bookshelves
Review: I'm not really sure Veronica deserves Stoker. He's so incredible! But she did do a lot of growing and maturing emotionally in this one, so I'll let her keep him for now. The mystery was a little lite in this one, and I didn't fully engage with it as with previous books, but overall it was a good book.

A fun paranormal cozy mystery! Cozies can definitely be a hit or miss, and this was a definite hit! I mean who wouldn't love to read a book about a snarky talking cat? The mystery was well done and I enjoyed getting to know the characters in this witchy small town.

Review: I struggled with rating this one. The story gets 5 stars in my opinion, but the book needed major editing. There were words and phrases missing! So I can't, in good conscience, give it more than 3 stars. That being said, I did cry a little. Tamsin's guys have a lot to make up for in the next books!
Started my cozy as soon as I am not on the app I'll update my selection and do my completion for me.
Shelf 2 MayThe Collected Regrets of Clover
Read: 5/12
Rating: 5/5
How It Fits: published May 9, 2023
Loved this book! It's wild how heartwarming a book about death can be! Clover was a great character and I loved her growth throughout the story. All the secondary characters were delightful. I love when a book makes you feel like you're spending time with friends and this book did just that. Would love a followup! The audio narration was perfection and added another layer to this fabulous story.
***Big thank you to MacMillan Audio for my gifted copy of this book, all opinions are my own.***
I am just about done with my May book , looking for a cozy
New call in about 2 1/2 hours! Urban Fantasy would actually be a winning shelf for us!
Oh wow, really? I did finish my cozy. I'll post that in a bit here.
I'm going to switch my cozy mystery book to Tightrope, which is tagged cozy mystery 3 times and is on the current list for Turf Wars.
I think I'm going to go with Compounding Traumas, which is MPG Fae and 323 pages.ETA: Also have checked out from KU Legacy of Shadows, tagged by 2 people and Rise of the Phoenix which is MPG.
So it'll be one of those 3.

Review: I never thought I would be a person to read a series out of order, but I keep finding that many romance series are just standalone books with cameos of other characters, and so it works. This is an example of that. It was clear who the couples from the 1st 2 books were, but I was able to follow the storyline just fine. The mystery was convoluted, but clearly laid out. Overall, an enjoyable romance/mystery.

Can you please fix your date read? Your read shelf shows 5/19, but your post here says 5/2, which is few days before this shelf was called. :)
I'm going to double check, but I don't think I can request our stamp until this is corrected.
Shelf 3 Cozy Mystery Murder's a Witch
Date Read: 5/19
Rating: 4/5
👻 MPG of cozy mystery
Love me a witch book! this was so fun! Holly is a banished witch who is now living in a paranormal halfway house with a vampire, a ghost, a shifter, and a yet to be disclosed paranormal creature. I loved the banter between all these characters. The mystery was very well plotted for a cozy, but I have to say the characters in this book stole the show. There is also a potential love triangle on the horizon. Excited to read more in this witchy cozy romance/mystery series!

Review:
I really like this series. Normally I don't enjoy reading about love triangles, but Joanne Fluke does it well and it is enjoyable. I really like the recipes in the book. I might need to try them. I really enjoy Hannah and the other characters . Moesha can be bit annoying sometimes though.

Review: It sucked me in right away. I can't believe I didn't notice that book 2 doesn't come out for several weeks. And book three is 3 months away! So I wish I had waited. But, like I said, it sucked me in. I can't wait to find out what happens to Leighton and her guys. And I need to see Chloe get what's coming to her!
Laura I think we finished Cozi? Did we get a stamp for that yet?
I swear I saw both of you guys post your reviews, but I forgot to link them and request the stamp. I'll get that done now.

Review:
This is the first book in the October Daye Series and I thought it was just okay. There is a lot of world building in this book. I didn’t really connect to the characters , not sure why. I will read the next in the series , I know a lot of goodreads readers like this series.
