Book Review: The Line is Drawn (Mayson-Dickson Mysteries Book 1) by Jocie McKade

Posted on March 19, 2022 by Sahara Foley

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

WHEN NORTH MEETS SOUTH IT’S MURDER!

A secret twin sister? Who knew? Emme Mayson and Jackie Dickson discover they are twins, just before an assassin’s bullet kills the only man who knows everything.

Whisked away to an “off-the-books” witness protection program. With the aid of a wanted hacker, and another pitcher of margaritas, Emma and Jackie are determined to discover the truth about their parents’ secret past and why they were separated into North and South….Was it bad enough to have a man murdered to keep that secret?

Murder, mystery and family fuel the fire between two sisters so different the only thing keeping them from starting another war between the states is the need to solve the case, get their answers and stay alive.

MY REVIEW:

This is the first book of Jocie McKade’s I’ve read.

From the first scene in Moe Sheridan’s office, I was sucked into the story. Two parents who both died the same way and two girls who could be long lost twins. What more could you ask for in a whodunit cozy mystery?

There are a wide range of characters with multiple points of view but none of them were confusing. I adore Rosie and Morgan and I hope they end up together.

The story has lots of plots running throughout. Like who really were Emme and Jackie’s parents? Why did they split up the family and who were they hiding the girls from? Who killed the the mobster dude that washed up on the beach? And let’s not forget Fender. What’s his deal?

I got invested in the story and the characters and that’s the only reason why I didn’t DNF it. This should be a 5-star book but it’s held back by horrible editing and a book cover that doesn’t fit the genre. I could really see this as a TV series because the storyline is that good. Think Simon & Simon or Hart to Hart.

Do I recommend the book? That’s a good question. Yes and No. If you can handle missing words, wrong word usage, poorly structured sentences and paragraphs, go for it. You’ll fall in love with the story and characters.

As for me, I give it 4 stars, but I won’t be solving the mystery of Emme and Jackie.

Featured Free eBook: Rebel Magic: Book 1 (The Rebel Magic Series) by Alex Fox

Posted on March 18, 2022 by Sahara Foley

I hunt bad guys.
I don’t work for them.

My talent for tracking has made me a damn good bounty hunter for the past decade, but it’s also gotten me solidly under the thumb of notorious casino boss, Kai Warcloud.

I need to break free before I kill him or he kills me. The solution? I have to help Kai track down the notorious con artist Laurent Moreau to New Orleans and drag him back to pay his debts. Just one last job… and I’m finally free.

The catch? Moreau looks like an angel but has the soul and fangs of a vampire with an entourage of bloodthirsty friends to match. Until I catch him, Kai is happy to use my brother as leverage.

But I have an edge: I’m a Spirit Walker, able to commune with the dead. Since vamps are already halfway there, this should be a piece of cake, right?

WRONG.

It’s one hell of a leap to go from bail bonds and bounties to dragging supernaturals back to Texas on the back of a chain, but I’m up for it. My back may be against the wall, but I’m the kind of girl who comes out swinging.

My name is Rebel Weston, and I’m going to hunt you down.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Genie’s parents are getting divorced, and it’s all her fault. Her best friends, Beth, Mei, and Whit, convince her to make a wish in the small Minnesota town’s antique well. Genie thinks it’s ridiculous, wishing for her parents to reunite, but what can it hurt? She’s already ruined everything

At the well, a mysterious woman with a walking stick and twigs in her hair, like some sort of homeless mystic, warns the friends to beware. Their wishes are powerful magic. Scoffing at the notion, Genie and friends toss their coins in.

That night otherworldly creatures try to kidnap each girl. Only Beth is captured.

The three remaining friends gather at the well. A mysterious guy named Tristan says he knows where Beth has been taken. Only the power of Genie, Mei, and Whit’s combined wishes can save her. Genie can’t believe magic tied them together, but after her scary encounter the night before, she can’t deny magic might be real.

The friends agree to follow Tristan through a magic portal and step into the legendary island of Avalon, a land separated from Earth after King Arthur’s death. With the help of some young descendants of the original knights of Camelot, the Lady of the Lake, and Morgan le Fay, the three teens set out on a quest to rescue their friend, battle an evil sorcerer, and save two worlds in the process.
