Twilight Tactics by Lynette Eason Blog Tour and Book Review

 

This is book 1 in the Soldiers in Shadows series.

Do you like a book with a bit of romance between two unsuspecting characters? Check.

How about a bit of family dysfunction? Check.

What about a young girl running from the bad guys with an FBI team protecting her? Check.

And how about some misplaced trust between FBI partners? Check.

Sully finds himself partnered with Piper. Their mission was to protect Ollie who was set to testify against some really bad dudes. This led them to ending up at Broken Chains Ranch, which was run by Sully’s cousin, Maya. It is a very appropriate name for this ranch as they provided second chances for veterans who found themselves displaced. Of course, Maya said they could bring Ollie to the ranch as a safe haven.

Sully meets Elena. You can guess what happens there. They just didn’t know what to do about it. Not only that, but Elena was facing her own troubles dealing with her own family that were very close to the ranch, but they couldn’t escape. I liked the fact that there was attraction, but not so much it distracted from the danger they were involved in.

I enjoyed this tale with all its dysfunction and its smaller stories leading to bigger stories mixed in. I liked the female characters as they all have an inner strength that shines through, even the women on the bad side of this tale. I enjoyed reading about Elena’s quest for the truth and her reuniting with her family, even if it didn’t end up the way she was hoping.

And Ollie? She got some really good news at the end of the story.

It will be interesting to see what Sully and Elena find themselves mixed up in next.

The Day My Soul Died by Rishi Vohra

 

Sunaina has experienced one of the worst crimes she could ever possibly imagine. Her parents literally forced her to move to the US to continue her education, to get away from Mumbai, to not have to live with the “shame” of what happened.

America was a total culture shock to her, obviously. But then she discovers she’s not alone. She also discovers the quiet background support of Rafiq, whom she met in Mumbai but didn’t want to get involved with since her relationship with Paras didn’t turn out so well. Yeah, Paras … he left her when he found out what happened.

The thing about Sunaina though … she could not let this go or should she? This was an internal battle she continued to fight, even tucked away in the US.

Through her actions she discovered another part of her country that she didn’t know existed. She met a former political official while she was imprisoned for what she did. This was a real eye-opener for Sunaina.

Throughout these pages there is a crime, a punishment, a wee bit of politics near the end, parents and a sister who didn’t know what to do other than provide their undying love and support, a best friend, a failed relationship, and a new relationship. There is healing. There is a strong young woman who decided to face her fears once she discovered she wasn’t alone in what she had suffered. There is also the internal battle of deciding whether to let the perpetrator get away with what he did or find some way to pay him back. While Sunaina might not have made the best decision, in the end, she found out that she had more internal strength than she thought she did. And the thing about Sunaina? She never gave up and was brave enough to tell her story.

Kill to Keep by Elena Taylor Blog Tour and Book Review

 

Book three in the Sheriff Bet Rivers Mysteries.

The one thing I like about Bet is that she never gives up … no matter the consequences. She always hears her dad in the back of her mind.

I also like the fact that in book three she is still coming to realize what Rob means to her … and how to go about intermingling that relationship with her job.

Then there is Alma. If you’ve read this series, then you know Alma is the focal point at the sheriff’s station … keeping everything organized, everyone on their toes. She is the pulse of the community, knowing things before Bet even knows things. Everyone needs an Alma.

In this tale, Bet finds herself looking into a body that was found behind a tent … did this have something to do with Rob ‘allowing’ the carnival to come to town? Sure, the carnival was good for the economy, but at what cost?

The further she looked for answers the farther down a dark path Bet went.

And Rob was right by her side, along with her other employees. I like Rob’s character; he never pushes Bet for more than she can give of herself and he understands her job is extremely important to her, and Bet understands the predicament Rob is in between ‘owning’ the town, his job, and his feelings for Bet.

I enjoy this series because of the relationships that have developed and the consistency of the characters and also, again, the never-give-up attitude of Bet. This series is set in a small town with big town problems, which is something I enjoy in a series.

Guilty by Association by TG Wolff Blog Tour and Book Review

 

Book two in The Rizk Brothers Mysteries.

I did not know this was a series. The good thing about this series is that each book can be read as a standalone and doesn’t feel anything is missing.

I enjoyed reading about Seth and his twin brother, Jakob. They have a close relationship, even though they live miles apart. I also enjoyed reading about Seth and Jakob’s wife, Courtney. Got a bit of a chuckle at the names they used to refer to the twins Courtney is carrying.

The basis of this tale is Seth being informed of the demise of someone he looked up to, so, having job issues of his own, he decided to take on the case which meant he had to go back to his home state to take a look. This led him to another crime, if you will, and looking around at a senior care facility to see what was going on there. This led to some interesting relationships for Seth, ones he wasn’t expecting, and led him down some trails to get to the final answer.

Much to Jakob’s frustration.

Courtney was the voice of reason throughout this tale.

This is the kind of book I like to read that contains a police procedural, some politics (not too heavy), and a seemingly innocent situation that turns out to be more. Oh, and a bit of embezzlement along the way. I also liked the fact that this tale is told in both Jakob and Seth’s POVs. I also liked the Rizk family dynamics and the group of friends that surrounded Seth’s newly minted Aunt Morrighan.

Dead Girls Tell No Tales by Carissa Ann Lynch New Release and Book Review

 

Release date: August 1, 2026

This is one of my go-to authors no questions asked, and she absolutely nailed this one. At least, I think so.

Adrianna McMahon was down on her luck as her writing career was pretty much going nowhere at the moment. She finds herself working in a nut and fudge shoppe and develops an unexpected friendship with Rebel (Jane James is her real name), but Rebel just fits this girl for all the right reasons. Rebel has stumbled across something and decides to ask Adrianna for help under the guise of wanting to be a writer herself.

Rebel doesn’t show up for work or school and no one, other than Adrianna, seems to care.

The more Adrianna tries to find Rebel, tries to get help to find Rebel, the more she discovers as her past collides right into Rebel’s present. Not to mention some of Adrianna’s actions leading detectives to think …

I could’ve easily read this book in one setting, I thought it was that good. It has everything I like in a psychological twister. The past colliding with the present, but the thread holding everything together? I didn’t expect that and I probably should have.

I liked the way the author planted some red herrings throughout these pages, making me think I figured out the whodunnit and then I went down another path changing my mind. The final reveal … again, I didn’t expect it and I should have. I also liked the fact that there was family strife involved for both Adrianna and Rebel, it just made them more realistic and explained parts of their personalities.

For me, I found this one to be a page turner.
