So Over My Head by Jenny B. Jones


There are some authors that you grow to love. You anticipate their new releases. Jenny B. Jones is one of those. They say that there’s a little bit of the author in each book that they write. I think that’s why her books are easy to love. Jenny’s easy to love. No, I do not know her personally. But, I stalk her on facebook. She is an absolute funny person. If you are feeling down, go read her facebook. You will smile.

Bella has been thrown a loop. Her father is getting remarried and Bella’s investigative instincts are awaken. Although Bella cannot pinpoint exactly what’s going on. She stops at nothing to find out.

Back on the home front, a killer is on the loose. Bella is determined to figure out who the killer is before he/she strikes again. The countdown is on and Bella seems to be the one who fits the pieces together. Can she stop the killer?

If that’s not enough, her on and off again boyfriend, Luke is giving her grief. Is Luke the one for her?

One of the best parts of the book (besides the awesome storyline) is the All-Access Bonus Content in the back of the book. Throughout the story, there is an * and that’s a clue to go look at the story behind that story snippet. I hope to see more of these in future books.

This is the third in the Charmed Life Series. This novel can stand on its own. However, I recommend you checking out the first two in this series.

I dare you to read one of her novels. Start saving your money now cause you will want to go and buy the other ones. Not sure? Stalk her on facebook.

Thicker than Blood by C.J. Darlington



I love to read new authors. There are some real gems. C.J. Darlington is one of them. She has penned a wonderful novel about forgiveness.

The character development, plot, dialogue, and setting were on target. The characters were real. You felt the scenes.

Two sisters. Two separate lives separated by years due to a tragic event. How could a stolen Hemingway First Edition Book bring them together once again? Can the past be forgiven?

Christy Williams works for Dawson’s Book Barn. She loves her job and is given the opportunity to step up in that role by taking a lead in an auction.

On the other end of the spectrum, May Williams is part ownership in Triple Cross Ranch. The bank has issued a demand letter to pay up or lose the ranch. She hasn’t seen her sister, Christy in years and longs to be reconnected, as sisters should be.

Christy Williams will do anything not to see her sister again. Circumstances make that impossible and May is her only hope. She lands on May’s doorstep.

It’s evident that May Williams is a Christian. Christy doesn’t want to hear about it. What has God done for her? She’s only experienced trouble her entire life. It’s getting worse not better.

The novel has a satisfying ending and you will want to hand the book to someone else to read.

I look forward in reading C.J. Darlington’s future works.
