The Epic Conclusion of The Everlight Series… Fate is Never Wrong.

Ivy Rune not only escaped the Count's castle; she uncovered the truth of her father's disappearance. But the consequences of this revelation force Ivy to seek help from her friend Ember's mother. However, as Keeper of the White Forest, Airlend Frost is also an enemy of the Count.

With the Count on their trail, Ivy and her friends race to the White Forest. But when they arrive, a buried fate in Ember's world collides with the final secret of Ivy's past, unexpectedly binding Ivy to the White Forest.

To protect her loved ones and the White Forest from the Count's coming destruction, Ivy accepts a mission to retrieve a powerful object. With everyone's future at stake, Ivy discovers fate has its own plans for her, and there's a price to wield this magic. If she's not careful, Ivy risks betraying those she loves by fulfilling a fate she never intended.

I devoured this story in one sitting, utterly enthralled by the continuation of Ivy and York’s journey! The story masterfully weaves together themes of friendship, trust, and the unknown, with a dash of mystery and magic that will keep you spellbound. I found myself deeply invested in Ivy's struggles, as her fears and anxieties were portrayed with remarkable realism. 

If you're a fan of YA fantasy, do yourself a favor and add this series to your reading list - you won't regret it!"

Goats Just Wanna Have Fun by Janna Rollins

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing Goats Just Wanna Have Fun Bork 2 in A Zen Goat Mystery by Janna Rollins.  I found it to be enjoyable and entertaining full of loveable characters and Goats!. 

Buy here

It’s late summer and time for the Lupine County Fair. Callie has agreed to teach daily goat yoga sessions for the duration of the fair, and she’s excited her cousin Tristan is coming from Boston to help her out. She’s looking forward to experiencing every moment her first rural county fair has to offer, including eating her weight in greasy corn dogs and curly fries, then taking in the excitement of the carnival at night. Maybe she’ll bump into that handsome, albeit frustrating, veterinarian, Levi McClure.

But things get wild fast when the proprietor of Hasty Hogs Racing Pigs is murdered on the track in front of a crowd of spectators. When the local snow cone stand owner, Sweet Pete, is found with evidence pointing to him as the killer, Callie is sure it’s a set-up. It’s going to take a calm mind and a Zenful spirit to find the real killer before she ends up hog-tied.

What a great cozy mystery it was engaging, really well-written, set in a small town in Lupine County New Hampshire. My favorite character is Bugsy the goat.

The protagonist Callie was intelligent, likeable, and the friends she made were people I would like to hang out with especially  her aunt and uncle. 

The mystery was well written and had plenty of suspects who wanted the victim dead.  I did suspect the killer early on but there were a few red herrings so I wasn't 100% sure until close to the end when the final piece fell into place.  There are a couple of sub-plots in this book that having me excitedly waiting for the next instalment !

I highly recommend this cozy mystery series to all my friends.

Written in Stone A Scottish Bookshop Mystery by Paige Shelton

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "Written in Stone” the 10th instalment in the "Scottish Bookshop Mystery” series by Paige Shelton.  I really enjoy this series and have started collecting in hardcover. 

Buy here 

Written in Stone, the tenth installment in the Scottish Bookshop series by Paige Shelton, set in a specialty bookstore in Edinburgh called The Cracked Spine.

When Delaney wins a special Hidden Door Festival invitation to artist Ryory Bennigan's studio, she isn’t sure quite what to expect. What she finds is an elusive fellow obsessed with the Picts—complete with his own versions of their blue tattoos and vibrant red hair—recreating the stones they left behind. She also meets a visiting paleontologist, Dr. Adam Pace, from the University of Kansas attempting to sell an artifact that might just explain what the Picts' language really sounded like.

Or at least that’s what he claimed the artifact was for. Before the deal can close and Ryory can get a closer look at it, Dr. Pace is found dead.

With the police dragging their feet in the investigation, Delaney takes it upon herself to dig into Dr. Pace's past. Her research goes murky as she quickly discovers Pace’s shady background—selling fake dinosaur bones and running into some 3D-printing trouble back in Kansas. Could his past have come back to bite him in Edinburgh? And what does his questionable background mean for the mysterious Pictish artifact he was trying to sell to Ryory? Delaney will have to dust off her magnifying glass to uncover the truth behind this case… or risk becoming a pile of bones herself.

I loved visiting Edinburgh, Scotland and the Cracked Spine book shop again. I liked how this time we were exploring the Picts blue tattoos and artifacts.  

There were several possible suspects, and kept me guessing for quite a while. I was drawn into this story right away and did not want to put it down. 

Overall, I found it to be a very entertaining read that made me long to visit Scotland.  

I highly  recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.

I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Minotaur Books and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
