American Kingfish Association is a crime thriller set around tournament fishing and missing boats. Even though this is fiction, as with any good fishing story, there underlines some truth. As fishing stories go, AKA could be about that one that got away or was the one captured in the net.

Jarratt Summer is an avid Kingfish tournament fisherman. He has combined his love of fishing and the sea with his work at American Marine Insurance. Jarratt is on a personal quest to become a winner on Florida’s First Coast king fishing circuit. His goal is to earn a place at the Kingfish Super Bowl Tournament being held in St Lucie, FL. With the unexpected death of a co-worker, Jarratt is promoted to SIU/ Special Investigative Unit. Once here, Jarratt uncovers schemes for filing false insurance claims along with other schemes to bilk money from his employer. Jarratt attempts to put the pieces of the scheme together while avoiding being entrapped or worse killed.

I predict the author, Charles Darner, is going to be on the number one New York Times Bestsellers list. It’s only a matter of time before he gets the recognition. American Kingfish Association is his first book but no one would ever guess that. The writing style is remarkable. I can say this because I haven’t the first clue about fishing of any kind. After reading this story about the Kingfish tournament, I am intrigued to learn more.

I was riveted to my seat when the “reel’s clicker went off”. I didn’t know what a reel clicker was but I could feel the adrenaline running through the crew as they went through the process of bringing the fish in. I was just as disappointed as the characters when the line broke. It takes talent to write a book that consistently made me feel like I was with the characters every step of the way. It’s a greater talent when I didn’t feel lost or bored with all the details since I hadn’t a clue about the subject matter. From the description I was able to visualize the reel clicker as part of the rising rod that they crank to bring the fish in.

It is really important to make clear that this is not a “how to fish” book. This is an action/thriller, “hold on to your seat because you have no idea what is going to happen next”, type of novel. My son is the one that encouraged me to give this book a try. As a rule, it’s not the type of book I’d typically choose to read but I honestly couldn’t put it down! I read it in two days because it was that good. My preferred genre is romance, so I am pleased to tell you that there was a small romance with the leading character, Jarratt Summer, tucked in with the action.

Jarratt, Charlie, Adam and Sarah are the main characters. Together they make up the crew that wants to win the Kingfish tournament. There’s quite a varied cast of characters threaded throughout the plot, all of whom are well-developed. Their characterization is effective enough to make me believe the bad guys are truly bad. As for the good guys, I am not able to pick a favorite but I’d lean heavily on choosing Charlie as my favorite. He’s the kind of friend I’d want to have in my life.

The synopsis shared some exciting elements that might be intriguing to a reader but it’s important that I highlight that I found this novel unique. First, my interest was piqued by, “Jarratt attempts to put the pieces of the scheme together while avoiding being entrapped or worse, killed”. I was pleasantly surprised by the author’s vivid imagination and how he engaged my full attention. Second, he demonstrated a skill with words that was creative, making this novel a highly entertaining read and hard for me to put down. It’s a challenge to interest and involve a reader who knows next to nothing about the subject matter, yet delivers a solid and well-rounded story that reels in a reader like it did me. Pun intended *G*.

The plot flowed smoothly from beginning to end carrying me along on an anxiety provoking ride. There were moments I felt scared, happy or disappointed, and there was one time I even laughed. I was mostly invested in figuring how in the heck Jarratt was going to get out of the mess he got himself into.

The most exciting thing about this book isn’t that all the plot threads were tied up the way I like it, which is super important to me, but that the story cleverly hints there might be a sequel! I am very excited about that because I loved this book. In fact, I’m going to buy one for my dad for Father’s day and for my nephew for his birthday. They both love to fish and would enjoy all the action since they both love thriller/action/adventure movies. In fact, I won’t be surprised if this becomes a blockbuster someday.

I enthusiastically recommend reading American Kingfish Association! It definitely “hooked” me.

There were thirteen steps to the cellar. They were steep and they were narrow—but was a fall down them enough to have caused the twenty-seven deep lacerations to her aunt’s head?

Callie Harris travels from her home in Alabama to her aunt’s former mansion in Maine to unravel the haunting forty-year-old mystery of Dr. Laverne Harris Doss’ brutal death.

Was her uncle justly convicted of the killing? Was his mistress involved? Or was the murderer the bearded stranger rumored to have arrived by train that night?

In the charming town of Richmond, located on the banks of Maine’s historic Kennebec River, Callie uncovers the community’s darkest secrets—a botched police investigation, a betrayed widow’s lie, a dead woman’s blackmail, and a wealthy philanthropist’s shame. The web of intrigue extends far beyond Callie’s suspicions and its connection to her personal story pierces her to the core.

A twisted mystery that will leave you scratching your head.

Callie and her brothers are settling their father’s estate and wants to find who is truly responsible for her aunt’s death. However, Callie’s presence stirs up a whole lot of emotions and memories from the townspeople, some good, some not so good. But with every step, she learns more about the town and its people.

I loved how descriptive this book was because even though it took some time for me to get into the story, it just felt realistic. This is the author’s first book and it was so good. The mystery and suspense along with a bit of romance meshed so well for me. Ms. Mathews kept the mystery there right up until the end–even with the twists and turns. The characterizations were good and realistic. They had a depth to them that I rarely see and get to read. This story had not just a mystery but showed the closeness of family and friends, as well as not so good or close friends.

I found that the romance was sweet and not the main focus. Even though the romance and chemistry was slow to start, by the time I read half the book, I was rooting for them. I can see their relationship develop from strangers to becoming the most important people for each other.

The climax was a climax to remember. Great for readers who want a mystery as well as that family and friends feel.

Lyndsay and Roger find themselves in a strange situation. Now that the show is over, their romance and wedding seem a bit unreal. Understandably, Lyndsay isn’t sure she truly knows the man she now calls husband. I can’t even imagine being in her situation! Roger is determined to prove to Lyndsay that their connection is more genuine than she believes. Roger is attracted to Lyndsay and they have great chemistry, but I like how he took things slow with her. He found sweet ways to show her how honest he had been on the show. I loved watching them rediscover each other away from the TV cameras. Their happy ending is a perfect beginning to this anthology.

How Much, My Love?

Jeremy and Jen have been planning their vacation for years. When Jeremy gives up his seat for $3,000, Jen feels abandoned. I would feel exactly the same way if I were Jen. Irritated and alone, Jen is left to wonder why Jeremy chose money over time with her. I really admire how Jen handles the situation. She doesn’t spend her time alone in Aruba moping around. She takes time to swim and enjoy the sights. Just when she’s beginning to relax, she gets more bad news. A friend sends her a message that indicates she might have more trouble with Jeremy than she thought. I will say I was able to predict what Jeremy was up to, but I still found the ending enjoyable.

Ten Years On

Of all the romances in this collection, Shiloh and Todd’s struck me as the most unrealistic. They were close friends once, but everything changed when Shiloh’s dad went to prison. Shiloh pushed him away, and they haven’t spoken in years. Consequently, their happy ending felt improbable. I just didn’t feel they had enough time to progress from a renewed friendship to a serious romantic relationship.

Caribbean Life, Take Two

Anya and Eric have great chemistry and clearly care about each other, but they aren’t quite in the same place when it comes their relationship. Their life styles aren’t in sync. Anya wants to take time to enjoy life and is okay if that means living a simpler life. Eric is always chasing the next big project. It is understandable that Anya would begin to question if they rushed into something. The distance between them grew as time passed, and I couldn’t help but wonder what it would take for Eric to realize what’s important in life.

Love Song

Mari and Dave’s story is definitely the most intense. Dave is ready to take things to the next level, but Mari is holding back. At first, I was confused, but then it became clear that she has idea of what happiness is supposed to look like, and she seems unwilling to admit that a happy or good life can mean different things at different stages in life. Her outlook on life made me very sad. Mari takes her relationship with Dave for granted, and I was on the edge of my seat wondering if she would realize what she had before it was too late!

Reading Say “I Do” is like a ray of sunshine on a cold day. Each story is a snapshot of a couple on the cusp of finding their happy ending. Fans of contemporary romance would do well to pick up a copy of this collection.

Charm McCall can solve a small-town murder, but can she figure out how to stop a man-stealing interloper?

A movie production company has come to town…and so has an old family friend of the town’s sexy new Mountie, Ace Collins.

Charm’s left wondering if even Agatha Christie could have seen this one coming.

But with so much working against them—including the whole town being dead set against them consummating their relationship—do Charm and Ace stand a chance?

Charm, a witch, and a triplet, is back, in her cozy little town and faced with a murder again. A movie is being filmed here, and her sister is staring in it. Familiar characters from book one are here, but if readers hadn’t seen that book, it’s okay. This second in a series is a standalone.

Charm is a good name for the protagonist, as it suits her well. Her love interest is a strong character who adds conflict in his own way. The supporting characters are drawn well enough to add to the plot, and there are plenty of twists and turns to make this an engaging story.

It’s not a high-tension tale, but the little details keep a reader immersed in this world. As we learn more about the crime, we also discover more about Charm. These details add depth to her.

Another antagonist—not the murderer—adds another touch of tension and interest to the story. What will happen with this one, who happens to want what Charm has? The secondary plot is not really connected to the primary plot, but it paints details and adds to the understanding of characters.

This is a cute little story and a great continuation of Charm’s escapades. Readers of cozy mysteries who like unconventional characters could really enjoy this one. If there is a third in this series, I would definitely like to read it.

Telepathic petsitter Jordan Vaughn wishes she could forget her checkered past. Despite her genuine efforts to make amends, she falls short every time. When she meets the guy of her dreams, she’s sure that her bad-luck streak is over.

A head injury erased Harry Hill’s memory. Now, four years later, he’s built a new life in Nocturne Falls, complete with a gorgeous girlfriend.

Everything is falling into place—until someone tries to kill him. But will the past he can’t remember jeopardize his future with Jordan?

We get to meet a young man who wakes up in the forest with no memories and was beaten and bruised. The only things that provide any idea to his identity is a cat and a soaking piece of paper. He can’t make out what it says but a few letters, so he decides to call himself Harry. He follows the cat to a road and catches a ride to a small town called Nocturne Falls.

Jordan Vaughn lives in Nocturne Falls with her twin sister Mallory and her sister’s fiancée Cyrus and trying to make ends meet. She owns her own pet sitting business that is struggling and wants to get out of her sister’s place as she feels like a burden. Luckily, she gets a last-minute cat sitting job that allows her to stay at the Tucker household.

She meets Harry in an unexpected way as he catches her from falling as she tries to enter the house using the trellis to get up the second floor since the key was missing. He takes it upon himself to be her protector since he had already had to save her.

The characters are well developed and I enjoyed the quirks in Jordon’s personality. You can’t help but feel sorry for her as she tries her best to help her sister but something always goes wrong. For example, Jordan was trying to make breakfast for her sister and fiancé’s 1-year anniversary but ended up burning the bacon, causing a fire in the oven and partially ruining the kitchen. To try to apologize for that she had bought a flower arrangement but her sister was allergic to it.

The plot was fun and different. Nocturne Falls is a well created and unique town. I’ve not read many books where there is a place for all the supernatural and unique beings to live without being censured. The best part is that the normal humans think it’s just an odd town that is obsessed with Halloween. Jordan fits in well as she has a gift to talk to animals telepathically.

The characters are well developed with each one having their own issues to work through but they help each other. Harry is able to allow Jordan to finally slide out of her older sister’s shadow and become her own self. She forces him to embrace who he could become. He draws upon her strength to finally decide that it was time to figure out who he really is.

The mystery really takes off when Jordan talks to Harry’s cat, Kitty. She finds out important information about the abduction. Watching their interactions as they piece clues together to figure out Harry’s past is a delight. I enjoyed how Harry reacts to finding about her gift. Their journey takes them in an unexpected direction, Catspaw Florida.

Watching them piece together small pieces to find the larger ones made the mystery a lot of fun. What I thought could be changed is how fast the mystery was actually solved. There was a lot of buildup but then the culprits were caught and the rest of their lives are pieced together quickly.

I would love to read more books in this universe and plan on rereading this novel. I adore animals and getting to hear what they have to say was fun. Both characters grew into themselves and, through their relationship, the reader learns that after persevering through the struggles of life, the end is more than worth it.

Edward Peach is a fourteen-year-old wizard who receives a letter that he has been accepted into the prestigious Prymoutekhny Wizards Academy for Boys, in the faraway land of Aradia. His parents are overjoyed, but he feels reluctant to leave his family, friends, and his comfy cottage in the English coastal village of Manley.

Not all of Edward’s experiences at his new school were positive ones. Some of the best passages were the ones that talked about the bullying he went through and the different techniques he tried to deal with that. I appreciated the fact that this wasn’t something that he solved in the first chapter. It was an ongoing problem that the author took seriously and obviously worked hard to explore in a very realistic fashion.

This book spent a great deal of time telling the audience what was happening instead of showing it to us. Everything from the personalities of the characters to the descriptions of life at the Prymoutekhny Wizards Academy for Boys was affected by this issue. I adored the premise, but I had a lot of trouble getting into the storyline because of how hard it was to imagine what it would be like to experience that world for myself.

The romantic subplot was nicely written. I liked both of the characters who were involved in it, and thought they’d make great boyfriends for each other. It was also nice to see them get to know each other for a while before any hint of flirtation happened. Based on what the narrator told me about their personalities, this seemed like it would be the most logical thing for them to do.

I’d recommend The Killing Spell to anyone who likes the idea of attending a magical boarding school.

I definitely recommend reading this book with a nice cup of hot cocoa sitting by a Christmas tree. It’s better than a movie on the Hallmark channel.
