This was the best one yet! I didn't guess it at all, Aurora's finally sticking up for herself, and she's got the life of her dreams. Excited to read the rest!

I have come to love Aurora Teagarden, but freely admit that part of what I love about her stories are how... safe they are. In this one, she not only marries, which spoils a little of the dating fun I have also come to love, but also discovers things about her husband that I do not want in Roe's life. How can her stories continue in the comfy, cozy vein I have come to love with this?

I'm already starting the next one, so here's hoping.








fun little series. i miss aurora being a librarian, i don't like martin or her acceptance of his lying and other faults, but i do like the crazy stuff that happens in this little southern town. (side note... i need a diagram or something of this house. all the descriptions of the roof and second roof and bedroom window, and i still CANNOT picture how it all fits together...)

This book was as good as the rest in the series. I love all of the characters in Charlaine Harris' books.

I love these movies, I went into the books knowing they wouldn't be exactly the same but I love them just the same, the character development is amazing as the series goes on and I see myself reading all of them at some point.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the previous one. Aurora and Martin are preparing for their wedding and getting to know each other better. Of course Aurora is intrigued by the mystery of the disappearance of a whole family from the Julius house and intends to dedicate her free time to find them. The crime mystery and revelation twist is well done, but the plot drags on for most of the book without much happening.

Oh my goodness, what can I say about this book...
I used to really like this series in the beginning but this book... things are getting more and more bizarre and annoying... her husband being a gun lord or however you wanna call this, oh come on! also the "case" was not really impressive and everything was so slow!!!
I'm really not sure if I should give this series another try and read the next one, if I do it's cause I used to really like the character of Roe in the beginning. ah well...
