Magical Mayhem by Lucia Ashta

Wow what an adventure Marla goes on this time! Marla gets stuck becoming the new detective in town. Thanks to Nan, & no one argues with Nan. Marla just wanted to find a normal job. However it seems like in Gales Haven there is no such thing. When someone starts stealing things in town Marla gets her first case. She is also told to take 4 people & Mindy (the snarky hedgehog) along to help her. All her Aunts manage to do is embarrass her though. The chaos that ensues as Marla tried to solve this case is hilarious. Marla doesn't understand how others see her. Like many women she only sees what she considers flaws. She can't help but point out what she hates about her body. However Quade doesn't see her body the same way. He loves it just the way it is. Quade is a very special guy, it's hard to find a guy like that. Poor Marla the whole town knows thanks to Nan, if they hadn't already heard from the local gossip. And word travels fast in Gales Haven! I really loved this book. Especially Lucia's new words like fooking & shemexy. Really made me laugh. Can't wait for the next adventure.

Wolf Queen by Rachel M. Raithby

This book is an intense adventure that goes a mile a minute! This time

the romance is between Evaline & John. If you've read the other books in this series then you will remember Tim, the guy building all the homes on Dark Shadows territory. Evaline is Tim's daughter & Zachary's sister. Zachary was the changes teen wolf.  Anyway this book was non-stop action. Poor Evaline or Eva for short, didn't know what to do with all the curveball that kept coming her way. Obviously people get hurt & some did because this book is about war. However, it's also about love, healing & moving on. Great ending to the series even though I don't want this series to end! I love these characters.
