📚 A woman found dead on a trail and nothing is as 📚 A woman found dead on a trail and nothing is as it seems. 🌙 Recension: Terminal Treatment (Eden Mercer K-9 Mystery Thriller #6) by Paige Black📚 Genre: Thriller, Crime📅 Release Date: February 17, 2026 (Audiobook)📖 Publisher: Charmed Pages Publishing👤 Narrator: Hannah Somerville📗 available in various formats – included in Kindle Unlimited📱 Read as: Audiobook💸 I received a free copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages / Listening Length: 11h 26min⭐️ 4/5Synopsis:I'm a fan of the series, and I was looking forward to continuing the journey by listening to this one. The prior book left us with Eden trying to find out more about her family, and we begin this book with her pausing that pursuit for now. Reality comes calling, and with a new murder taking place, she needs to return to her job.We start the main story off by finding a woman dead on a trail. When details come to light, they do not resonate with what people know about her. It also turns out that the case is connected to another investigation. In her search for answers, Eden goes undercover, and I appreciated the slight deviation from our typical detective work, as it added an additional challenge for her. Was I convinced that she would do an amazing job? Absolutely. Was I concerned about her safety? Yes. I enjoyed following along on her journey as she put the puzzle pieces together.Did her having access to all the data seem a bit unrealistic to me (as a corporate girly, I know a bit about access to sensitive data)? Maybe.Overall, I enjoyed this one just as much as the prior ones, and as always, the narration was superb.
📚 Cozy Crime klang erst mal spannend... 🌙 Recensi 📚 Cozy Crime klang erst mal spannend...🌙 Recension: Die brandheiße Spur (Alex Duggins Mystery #5) by Stella Cameron 📚 Genre: Cozy Mystery🔁 Neuauflage der Titels: Der Tod sagt Prost📅 Release Date: September 07, 2026📖 Publisher: dp Verlag📱 Read as: Kindle📗 ebook (exclusiv bei ebook.de)💸 I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.🗣️ Language: Deutsch📆 Pages: 366⭐️ 3/5Review:Alex hat das Talent, immer dort zu sein, wo man Leichen findet. Das führt dazu, dass sie regelmäßig mit unangenehmen Situationen konfrontiert wird. Diesmal hält sie spontan (ja, da wäre ich auch skeptisch) auf dem Heimweg an einer Baustelle an und rettet dort einem Menschen das Leben, während es für eine andere Person leider bereits zu spät ist.Dies ist der Beginn der Geschichte, und dieser klang zunächst vielversprechend. Da es sich bereits um den fünften Teil einer Reihe handelt, fühlte ich mich zunächst etwas verloren und hatte Schwierigkeiten zu verstehen, wer die vielen Charaktere sind und in welchem Verhältnis sie zueinander stehen. Selbst am Ende des Buches blieben für mich noch einige Fragen offen.Nach dem ersten Drittel musste ich allerdings feststellen, dass ich einfach nicht mit dem Buch warm wurde. Keiner der Charaktere war mir wirklich sympathisch, die Suche nach dem Mörder empfand ich als eher unspektakulär, und die Geschichte um Alex’ Mutter, die für mich noch das größte Potenzial hatte, blieb letztlich etwas blass.Am Ende muss ich leider sagen, dass ich das Buch insgesamt etwas fade fand. Die ganze Zeit hoffte ich darauf, endlich irgendetwas zu fühlen, doch am Ende war es lediglich ein Buch, das ich beendet habe und das keinen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen hat.
📚 Do you like your Historical Fiction with a heavy 📚 Do you like your Historical Fiction with a heavy dose of real life events? 🌙 Recension: Lady of the Castle (Nicola de la Haye #2) by Rachel Elwiss Joyce📚 Genre: Historical Fiction📅 Release Date: September 21, 2026📖 Publisher: Hedgehog Books📱 Read as: Kindle📗 available in various formats – included in Kindle Unlimited💸 I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 598⭐️ 5/5Review:f you were to ask me to read a historical book, chances are I would kindly nod and never (or at least highly unlikely) follow through with it. However, if you give it to me as historical fiction and tell me it is based on real events, that most of what is written on the pages is accurate, and that some details have been added to make it a bit more interesting or to fit the narrative, I would jump on board immediately.This is what I enjoyed so much about the first book, and I can gladly report that the second book gave me exactly what I had already loved about the first instalment.It is very clear that the author took a great deal of time to get her story right. She presents an engaging narrative while telling the story of Nicola and Bella, who were very different yet united and similar in many ways. They were victims of their circumstances, and especially the men around them did not always come across as making the best decisions.This highlighted for me just how cruel life could be during that period, and it certainly does not make me any more of a fan of the church than I already am.I can only applaud the author for another amazing book, and it is well worth reading the notes at the end to learn more about the characters and the historical foundation on which the story is based.
📚 What would you do if you are suddenly granted th 📚 What would you do if you are suddenly granted three wishes? And why does it feel more like a therapist session?🌙 Recension: The Problem with Wishes by Hazel Calder📚 Genre: Magical Realism, Romance📅 Release Date: August 3, 2026📱 Read as: Kindle📗 available in various formats – included in Kindle Unlimited💸 I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 246⭐️ 4/5Review:I did not expect to enjoy this one as much as I did, and I’m very happy about that.Scarlett is a character I liked instantly. She’s been with her company and doing her job for 10 years. When a promotion becomes available, she is hopeful, but her dreams are crushed when it goes to someone else. As a consolation prize, she is given a campaign, which comes with an unexpected surprise: a real-life genie who offers three wishes.Is this a completely new concept? No. Does it come with a very unique and entertaining twist? Absolutely. The disclaimer for the wishes alone made me chuckle. When Sahir made it clear what could not happen, it showed that someone must have tried all of these things before, and that they had gone horribly wrong. Better safe than sorry 🙂The interactions between the two of them were so much fun, and it felt more like a therapy session where a motivational friend was trying to convince her that she could do whatever she wanted if she started believing in herself. Him supporting her every step of the way and doing everything he could to make her journey just a little bit easier was so kind and caring that I wished I had someone like this in my life.It was a very entertaining read, and with it being on the shorter side, I finished it in one sitting. It’s a perfect book for making you feel better in the moment, and the banter was one of my highlights.I also applaud the absolutely stunning cover.
