Just Buried (Country Cottage Mysteries 9)
My name is Bizzy Baker, and I can read minds—not every mind, not every time but most of the time and believe me when I say it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
It’s September and that means two things: fall is descending on Cider Cove and my wedding day is almost at hand. And as if preparing for my wedding wasn’t enough, there’s another wedding at the inn that I have to tend to. An old friend from college is getting married right here at the inn. Add a pushy mother-in-law to-be and a wedding party at war, and it's enough to make me want to elope. But when someone in the wedding party ends up dead, it puts a damper on the festivities all the way around.
A Claw-some Affair (Meow for Murder 3)
Fall is in the air, and to celebrate there’s a masquerade ball at the Mortimer manor where socialites and dapper men abound. But when someone drops dead in the middle of the dance floor, fingers are pointed at everyone—including the deceased. Shep is as ornery as ever. Whoever keeps sending me those threatening notes has grown far more brazen, and my insights to the future have not only increased, but I’ve just seen a glimpse of something that I want no part of. With my luck—that will be the only vision that comes to fruition just the way it’s threatened to. Living in Starry Falls is proving to be deadly.
Pumpkin Spice Sacrifice (Murder in the Mix 3)
And, unfortunately for me, that horrible scenario is playing out right this minute. Worse yet, that good-looking ghost just so happens to look just like my friend, Everett, and it refuses to leave his side. I’m petrified of losing Everett, so much so that I too refuse to leave his side, which of course doesn’t exactly bode well with my newly minted boyfriend, Noah Fox, who is just as comely as his surname suggests. After two horrific murders just took place in our small town of Honey Hollow, I’m ready to put the last few months behind me, but when I come across another gruesome discovery, my entire world comes crashing down on me once again.
Cruising Through Midlife (Cruising Through Midlife 1)
My name is Trixie Troublefield, and I see ghosts. It’s sort of a new thing, and it’s more than a problem.
While I was busy running around doing some last minute packing for my tropical anniversary cruise, my husband was busy bedding three other women—at the same time. So I did what any other sane person would do—I grabbed my suitcase and took to the high seas, alone.
Here’s the thing. I’ve never been on a plane or a cruise ship. I’ve never left the state of Maine. I’ve never been on my own. I’ve never seen ghosts before either, but that seems to be on the universe’s agenda for me, too.
But no sooner do I step on board of that stately cruise ship than I stumble upon a body.
Midlife on the high seas is proving to be a real killer.

I read the first book all the way through, but not the second as when I considered these two stories I realised that apart from the plots a main part of these stories was all about sex. Had your relationship got there yet, scheduled or spontaneous, and on and on, pressure from friends, older women and men, that is all they did apparently, so I decided not to finish this set of books. Plus there was the use of profanity scattered regularly throughout speech. I’m sorry I wasted my time of this trash.

This was a boxed set of various books centered around fall themed murders with a little bit of a supernatural undertone. Some of the books were better than others, hence the 3 stars. The ones that weren’t so good definitely took longer to get through hence why this took so long to read. Overall they were ok, and most are part of series but I’m not rushing out to get any of the other books.
This is a boxed set of books that aren’t the same series so it was a little confusing as some seem to be from the same series and some are standalone. I’m not sure if they are early writings because some of the books seem to be written by an inexperienced writer and others are better. I thought they were books of the same series hence my ‘confused’ comment.
This is a nice collection of stories by Addison Moore and Bellamy Bloom that cover fall Over several years and are a variety of places and assorted murders. Very interesting! I had read a number of them as stand alone books but enjoyed them again!
loved all of the books and how they all worked together , looking forward to reading more. love the characters in all the books and their interactions.
