It Takes a Coven, by Carol J. Perry

It Takes a Coven by Carol J. Perry
My rating: 2 of 5 stars, it was okay.

Book 6 in the series.

This series has been kind of hit or miss for me. I had a really hard time getting in to this one. It started off slowly and even when it picked up a bit, I kept losing interest.

I still like the characters and the setting, so I will keep reading, but this book was far from my favorite in the series.

Witches Gone Wicked, by Sarina Dorie

Witches Gone Wicked by Sarina Dorie

My rating: 1 of 5 stars. Not at all my cup of tea.

This book had a fun premise and I expected to enjoy it but it really just wasn't my cup of tea. From the very beginning I felt as though I'd come in halfway through the plot with references to things that had happened before. And the characters were more caricatures. I really struggled to finish it and I eventually just gave up.

Color Me Murder, by Krista Davis

Color Me Murder by Krista Davis

My rating: 4 of 5 stars, I really liked it.

I love Krista Davis's Paws and Claws series, so I was happy to see she had a new series coming out. I had high hopes for this one, and happily, it lived up to my expectations.

Florrie Fox is a fun main character, who manages a bookstore and also creates unique coloring books for adults and I enjoyed her slightly eccentric boss as well. Why can't I have a boss like that? Haha.

The book was well plotted and fast moving. I pretty much devoured the book in one sitting. My only complaint was that as I had an ebook version, I couldn't color the cover!

I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series.

Pressing the Issue, by Darryl Wood Gerber

Pressing the Issue by Daryl Wood Gerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars, I quite liked it.

Book 6 in the series.

I was thrilled to see a new book in this series, it's always fun to visit Jenna and Aunt Vera, as well as the town Crystal Cove, to see what event they're cooking up next. This time around it's a Renaissance Fair, complete with copious amounts of "Ren speak." I will admit that personally, I don't see the appeal, I know too much about how things actually worked in that time period to allow myself to fall into the romanticized version, haha.

However, the plot was solid, and I liked the characters enough to ignore the setting and just enjoy the folks of Crystal Cove and the solid writing.

This was a quick read for me, and had some nice twists and turns to keep me entertained and guessing for a while.

I can't wait for more Crystal Cove craziness.

Murder on a Midsummer Night, by Kerry Greenwood

Murder on a Midsummer Night by Kerry Greenwood

My rating: 3 of 5 stars, I liked it.

Book 17 in the series.

I actually came to this series after watching the tv series on Netflix. And I'd not read any other book in the series. Each book is its own stand alone story. But, if you've come to the books after the TV show, be warned, they have many differences. It took me a bit to get past my preconceived notions and settle in to the mystery. Once I did, I enjoyed it and finished it in just a few hours.

I love Phryne, book and TV version. She's spunky, smart, observant and caring.

I will most certainly be reading more books in the series.
