Boy, oh boy! Have I hit the jackpot in rediscovering Joyce and Jim Lavene's series of work. I am avid reader but admit to not being one that completely keeps track of all the series. My bad. I have been a big fan of the Ren Faire series by these authors and am kicking myself for missing the Peggy Le...

I really liked Peggy. With any cozy mystery, you have to expect a little off-the-wall behavior from the main character and I think this was done just right. She wasn't a dimwitted idiot like a majority of the protagonists; while her actions were occasionally reckless, she was never stupid. The fact ...

This book wasn't bad, but it wasn't really good either. The setting of a year-round Renaissance Village was a novelty, but I never really liked Jessie much. Her boyfriend, Chase, was a good character, but I had trouble seeing why he was in love with her. Just okay....wouldn't go out of my way to ...

Really good story about not only a murder that Dae sees when she touches an object, but also a missing girl. The release of her boyfriends ex-fiance from a psychiatric facility adds a dimension of awkwardness, but also another psychic from which Dae can learn a bit more about her gifts and their e...

A nifty new cozy series with a touch of paranormal. Likable characters, well-plotted and enough twists and turns in the mystery that I actually didn't figure out who done it!

Aside from the fact that the story specifically states in the first couple of chapters that it's a sunny February and talks about early tourists coming round, and then suddenly talks about it being Autumn with the last of the tourists leaving, making it obvious someone wasn't editing carefully enoug...

I had high hopes for this story, but I just didn't take to it. While the author(s) did a very good job of portraying a relatively recent widow without being maudlin about it, it just wasn't for me. The story was very good, and some of the secondary characters likeable. The botany information was v...
