Baked Alaska by Josi S. Kilpack

 An Alaskan cruise is the setting for amateur detective Sadie Hoffmillers latest adventure. Sadie plans to spend time relaxing with her two grown children, Breanna and Shawn, and her boyfriend, Pete, while enjoying the luxury and cuisine of an elegant cruise ship and helping to plan her daughters upcoming wedding. But even as the crew prepares to leave port, Sadie has suspicions about the voyage ahead and the relationship between her normally easygoing son and a mysterious female passenger he obviously knows but refuses to discuss. When the woman is discovered unconscious during the second night at sea, Sadies apprehension escalates. Over the last few years, Sadie has developed an extreme dislike for secrets and it would seem her son is keeping one from her. *Includes eight new mouthwatering recipes, tested and approved by the official bakers of Sadies Virtual Test Kitchen.

 Praise for Baked Alaska

Josi Kilpack has done it again. You would think that all these events that occur in Sadie’s life wouldn’t be natural, but Josi Kilpack has a way of making you believe that it just “happens” and it is normal. I have grown to love Sadie’s character, even if she is a busybody, you can’t help but cheer for her as she attempts to solve a mystery or crime. One of my favorite series. 🙂

The Corvids – Book One: Autumn

(The Corvids #1)

Very imaginative book! It was a thriller that was set in a world  filled with gypsies. In your mind you can picture Arabel Spade our main character, floating around in a flowing silk gown.. In a cloud of imagination there are fairies and magic spells. What I liked was how Arabel set about finding clues and gathering information that maybe she didn’t want to know. When the story took a hold for me was how the scene of the crime was spelled out. Arabel has a taste of history that is a little biter. Nothing gets in her way though, Arabel is determined to find out what happened to her parents and her Grandad.

What I liked was how the author created Arabel as a strong, young, and very determined girl. This is the sort of heroine I love to read about. Determination and a young woman make for a really enjoyable read. The good news is the sequel is coming out this spring!
** I will say that some of the crime descriptives were a bit scary for me. I am sort of a sissy, so a little horror gives me a nightmare.
