Mint Chocolate Chip Mysteries #2
Ginger Danger
It’s no secret that, I, Sunny Shaw, am a magnet for mayhem right here on beautiful Blueberry Bay.
So, when a woman goes missing just before the grand opening of Shakes and Cakes, I think…it could be worse. And of course that’s exactly what happens when missing turns into dead. It's hard to cry over a disastrous opening when there's a murderer running around and things aren't about to get any easier!
Oh my, Jasper, how will we ever juggle my nasty neighbor, a stalker, a murderer, finding homes for kittens AND serving the best shakes and cakes in Pineville?
The answer to that million dollar question might save my business but can we shake things up to keep my friends out of jail and me alive to see another day?

This series has Little Dog Diner cozy mystery characters that Emmie Lynn wrote too. The 2nd book is about Sunny and Hitch and Tilly (voleenteer) having the grand opening of their new shop The Shakes and Cakes where they make and sell milkshakes, smooties, plants and adopt stray cats and kittens for people to take home. A woman Ginger that Sunny never seen before is parked right in entrance of their shop. Hitch knows her from living in New York. Ginger looked like a snob to Sunny. Ginger says she can't find Violet house (sunny neighbor) but then Conrad (a man that helped them finalize their shop) says that Ginger is stalked and want Hitch to be her bodyguard. But Hitch says no. Well Violet, Carla, Laura and Ginger are high school friend when they were young. But then Hitch finds Ginger dead in his home. . I love Jasper. the Newfoundland mix. And I love that Dani ( from Little Dog Diner cozy mystery series) and Pip the Jack Russel pup are in these book. Mostly all the male characters love the cats that are in this story. It is pretty good book

I enjoyed this book but then again with such a cute kitten on the cover you know it's going to be fun. I liked the characters but it was the sidekick Tilly that stole the show with her crazy plans and investigations, her take no prisoners attitude and butting heads with the deputy certainly added to the fun. I also liked the animals in this story, who isn't a sucker for fur balls but I did think the cats in the cafe would have caused problems or escaped at least once. The mystery did work but I felt that there were a few questions left unanswered, the main one being why if they all hated each other did Ginger arrange a reunion? This is book two in the series but I didn't feel like I missed out on all the connections made in the first book, making it a good standalone cozy.
With Sunny and Hitch busy with the opening day for there cat cafe the last thing they want is an old demanding acquaintance of Hitch's to be waiting outside before they even open there doors. Unusual for Hitch he sends her on her way and hours later the police arrive to investigate a missing person report, Ginger never arrived at her destination. To make things worse she was college room mates of Sunny's next door neighbour, who was the one to report her missing. The pair, along with Sunny's dog Jasper and elderly helped Tilly, see out the rest of the day with no more problems and only one more visit from the police, who find Ginger's pocketbook. How could see have checked into her B&B with no money? All they want to do is go home and celebrate the success of day, instead they find Ginger dead in Hitch's kitchen and Tilly's empty drinks cup on the counter. Can Sunny find the killer before the police arrest either of her friends? In order to do so Sunny will have to spend time with the person she hates most in the world, her neighbour, that is unless of course Tilly's investigations end up with her in jail.

Emmie Lyn takes us back to Pineville on Blueberry Bay with Ginger Danger the 2nd book in the Mint Chocolate Chip Mysteries. Of course, we find old friends, Sunny, Jasper, Hitch, Tilly and Conrad who bring us our new adventure. Plus would is better than kitties, dogs and Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream?
I love this series since we not only have a death (that seems to follow Sunny), a cute new kittie and friendship. While Sunny and Hitch work at opening their new business, Shakes and Cakes Shop they work at also solving the murder and keeping Sunny’s neighbor Tilly out of trouble (which is a full-time job!). I love that these books are easy to read and keep your interest, in fact, I feel like I am actually there and am working with them to solve this mystery!

Sunny Shaw and her friend, Hitch, are preparing for their grand opening when someone from his past shows up asking to talk to him. She leaves but is soon listed as missing and later is found dead. It's determined to be a murder and Sunny gets involved to prove her Hitch innocent. Can she find the killer before it's too late?
I was given an ARC of this book to read and I offer my honest opinion. This is the second book in a new series and it was an absolutely fun read. It was well-written with wonderful characters. The relationships are believable and the killer's identity was a bit of a surprise. I was hooked from beginning to end and look forward to the next book. I highly recommend both book and series which is best when read in order.

Another great story. Blueberry Bay is a nice quiet town. Great place for a college reunion so Carla, Laura. Ginger and Violet who lives there decide to get together. Carla brings her husband Greg. Ginger never makes it to the B and B. She did stop by to see her old friend from NY we all love named Hitch. Hitch did not talk to her when she showed up at Shakes and Cakes. Later that day she is found dead in Hitch's apartment. Who who want her killed and why? Grab the book and join the investigation.

Ginger Danger is a fun and entertaining cozy mystery with the idyllic setting of Blueberry Bay. Sunny, and Hitch are preparing for the grand opening of their new business when Ginger, an acquaintance from Hitch's past shows up trying to talk to him. She disappears and later is found murdered. With plenty of suspects, Hitch, Sunny and Tilly set out to discover who the culprit is. The mystery unfolds with plenty of twists, turns and hilarious encounters, especially when Tilly is involved. Thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing. I highly recommend this delightful story.

This is another fun romp around Blueberry Bay with Sunny Shaw, self-proclaimed “magnet for mayhem”, Sunny, Hitch and Jasper are ready to open their brand new business, Shakes and Cakes with an attached Greenhouse/Kitty Castle for kitten adoptions. Just as they are about to open to the public a mystery woman enters the scene and then disappears.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my voluntary, honest review. The search for the woman and subsequent search for her murderer are well written and the antics of Sunny and Tilly are great comic relief. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the next in the series.

"We had a crisis on our hands, a business to run and kittens to take care of. What a mess!"
Sunni and Hitch have come to the Grand Opening Day of "Shakes and Cakes". However, there's a situation brewing, and it's not coffee! A mixed up bunch of characters make for an interesting recipe when one of the ingredients in the story is found dead in Hitch's apartment kitchen. Another chance for Sunni and Tillie to figure out, in their awkward way, the who, what, when, where and why that Emmie Lyn is very well known for. A great second book in this series! Highly Recommended 5/5

Sunny is shaking things up again! I really love how this is so cozy that you feel like one of the characters only thing with that for me is I forget to turn on my own investigating skills because I get so caught up in being a part of the crew. I don't mind at all, love that the coziness leads the mystery and love settling into their world to be entertained. Tilly is bold and hilarious, totally surprised with the true culprit.

Sunny is a likable enough character. Tilly is over-the-top eccentric. Hitch is okay. The supporting cast was quirky and not very likable.
I wasn't that impressed with Ginger Danger. I found it a little too lightweight and fluffy. Plus, I thought some of the situations were far-fetched. I didn't like the incompetent jerk of a police officer, either. He was a caricature of so many police officers who are portrayed as incompetent. If you're looking for an extra fluffy, lightweight story, then you might enjoy this book. I won't be reading any more of this series.

This was such an amazing read! The characters are so fun and make me laugh out loud. I love how there are so many twist and turns that every time you think you know who done it, you hit another twist. This plot was sensational and kept me guessing. The animals are such a sweet added bonus. I’m so ready for the next book, you will fall in love with these books!
Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

Once again, Sunny and Hitch are tangled up with a dead body and a twisty little mystery that even brings our favorite owner of the Little Dog Diner and her faithful canine sidekick into the sleuthing. That was so much fun. I fell for the red herrings – hook, line, and sinker – so the ending caught completely off guard. I loved having this chance to come back to Pineville and Blueberry Bay.

I have been provided with a copy of Ginger Danger by Sweet Promise Press for an impartial review. This is the second book in the brand-new Mint Chocolate Chip Mysteries series and I just loved getting to reenter this amazing world. I just had so much fun reading this story and getting to learn more about these amazing characters. I just didn’t want this story to end. I can’t wait to see what’s next with this series.
July 26, 2020
This story is hilarious and in the style of other Blueberry Cove stories. Sunny will keep you on your toes and we follow her on opening day of her Smoothie Shop. The strangest things happen and to her friends no less. Her neighbor Tillie is a hoot, but an annoying elderly person. She classically noses herself into almost every situation. This is an enjoyable little mystery, but has no depth in the sense of the mystery, but the characters will keep you laughing.
June 19, 2020
I love this series! The fun continues in Ginger Danger. The book has old friends, a new cat, a new body, plot twists and turns and more. There is always something to keep my interest. There is no point in planning to read three chapters before bed. I have to start much earlier unless I want to be up all night. I can never put down one of these charming mysteries.
June 19, 2020
I loved Ginger Danger! This is a fun and interesting cozy mystery. I love the quirky characters and especially the cute animals. This book is engaging and captures your attention. The mystery has many twists that will keep you guessing until the end. I really enjoyed this book. I look forward to more books in the series.

I love cozy mysteries especially those set at Blueberry Bay. Emmie Lyn has now reintroduced us to Sunny Shaw, Hitch, Jasper, Tilly and Officer Mick. One could almost feel sorry for Officer Mick if he wasn’t so obnoxious. Be prepared for laughs, murder, romance and a good mystery. This story is a lot of fun.

I love this still-new series!
I loved the first book and the second book is always exciting: will it get to that same high level? And it sure did! It was such fun to read! Very entertaining and well-written. Great characters, cute animals, and a mystery with twists and turns - I couldn’t have asked for more. Well done!

So glad I got to read the 2nd book in this series, cute and quirky 2 & 4 legged characters. Touch of friendship, along with envy and jealousy, 2 very dangerous emotions.
Grab your copy and follow Hitch, Sunny, Conrad, Tilly, & Violet, along with Jasper :Chief Kitty Nanny" and Mama Cat and others @ Kitty Castle inside Shakes and Cakes, you won't be disappointed.

It's great to read the second Mint Chocolate Chip Mystery by Emmie Lynn. Sunny Shaw and her business partner Hitch are all set to open up Cakes & Shakes. An old friend of Hitch's named Ginger turns up for reunion. Later she's found bird and Hitch is the prime Suspect. Sunny decides to investigate and clear his name.

Here we go again with another mystery with so many twists & turns. I can never guess who-done-it! But I enjoy the ride finding out. Added to the story is the dog who loves to mother kittens. I received an ARC. This is my voluntary review.
December 31, 2020
A really good cozy story.
Very enjoyable story. It is interesting, funny and entertaining. Characters are warm, likable but very eccentric. Plot was interesting with Sunny bumbling into danger by following Tilly's lead. Satisfying conclusion.

Loved it!
I am loving this series! Tilly is a trip and a half! I don’t know how that woman talks her way into, and out of, things! Ashley was a huge surprise. Got to read to find out why. And I just love Sunny and Hitch. I really hope they get past friendship!

Well well well.
I did not see the ending of this coming. There were clues all along the way, but there were/are lots of clues in the wrong direction, too. The motivation made sense but I had missed it. Love the kittens! Jasper looms large.

An adorable and amazing story. As always there’s murder to make it intriguing. Ginger is one fascinating person.
