I always enjoy the books but wish for more mystery and less of her personal life. I know that is part of the charm but it is lost on me.
I’ve really enjoyed this series.. Simple and easy to read and surprising twists.
There wasn't much mystery here, but I like the characters that populate the series, so it didn't matter much. Roe's new life with Martin and the arrival of Shelby and Angel made it a very satisfactory read.

I loved this series! I loved that the FMC is a relatable quiet book lover that gets thrown into the thick of the drama!
She's got an inquisitive bookish mind that can't help but explore the drama and intrigue that's going on because it is like whay she reads in books. I feel like we can all relate to that.
I love the murder mystery itself. I liked the romantic interests. It kept me guessing and had the perfect mix of everything.
It's not as dark as some of the same genre I have read but it was a really fun read!

Slight spoilers ahead for some of the previous books but nothing you wouldn't see on the back cover of the edition I've read.
Aurora is busy planning her wedding to Martin Bartell, still trying to find out what the secrets he's keeping are. She finds the perfect gift for their wedding for Martin and he buys her the Julius House. Six years ago (and a few months) the whole family disappeared one day and Roe is curious, so she begins digging into the story.
Martin installs a couple, who also have secrets into the garage apartment.
Roe needs something to do and being a housewife is never going to satisfy her. She likes mysteries so they're always going to attract her. I can see her continue in this vein for a long time!
Not a bad read, but the mystery was about a third of the book while the wedding and Martin's past were most of the rest. Interesting but only as part of the series.

I tried.... I tried really hard to get through this series, but I can't stand Roe, nor do I understand the reasoning behind any of her decisions. I was trying to get through this in order to read book 9, which I received from Netgalley, but I'm not even interested anymore.
49% into the book and there is no mention of the mystery yet??? or work on it?? I'm assuming it has to do with Martin or the Julius family, but.... nothing.
Kinda relieving actually....
I just can't believe how much I disliked this series, considering how much I like the Sookie Stackhouse series and the other fantasy one with the ghosts. Oh well.
