Sofie Metropolis by Tori Carrington

Sofie Metropolis by Tori Carrington

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Here's another fun P.I. series to keep you entertained! Sofie Metropolis is on the case! Working at her mostly retired uncle's Private Investigator office along with the quirky, gum popping office manager. Of course what's an entertaining P.I. series without the mysterious hunk!? Don't fear...the mysterious & hunky Jake Porter will steam things up!

The book takes place in Astoria, Queens. Where if you haven't guessed it already Sofie & her Greek family live & work. Of course you can't forget Sofie's over-bearing, but loving mother. Throw all that together along with a missing dog, possible vampires & cheating spouses & you have one romping, wild ride!

The Metropolis series is comparable to Evanovich, Plum series. When I picked the book up I wasn't sure whether I would enjoy it very much or not. After having read it I can say that I very much did! What makes it stand out is the Greek heritage & references. The book has been compared to the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding & of course the Plum series. I can see the comparisons of both in this book. A light, entertaining, fun read that I would recommend for Evanovich & Lutz fans, along with any fans of comparable authors.

The Spellmans Strike Again by Lisa Lutz

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


As the title so accurately states...The Spellmans Strike Again! The fourth book in Lutz's Spellman Series is sure to please! When the book opens Izzy has finally agreed to take over Spellman Investigations. Her first priority of business is to take down rival ex-copm now P.I. Harkey. Izzy is also faced with a million clients missing persons case in which she hires her good friend Len to help out. Len takes to the job & seems to enjoy it a bit too much! Meanwhile Izzy is also being blackmailed by her mother (per photographic evidence of prom night 1994) & is forced to go out with promising lawyers. While her soon to be ex-boyfriend Conner is not happy about the blackmailed arrangement.

The Spellmans Are Out For Revenge!

Revenge of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Everyone beware!  The Spellmans are out for Revenge!  The third book in the Spellman series by Lisa Lutz.  This one does not disappoint!  All the good stuff wrapped up under one cover...funny, entertaining & a quick read!  If you haven't read my previous reviews regarding the other Spellman books I recommend them to all Evanovich fans!  Though they do have a few differences they are easily comparable & just as good as the Plum series.  The spellmans have quickly became a part of my favorite "book families".

Here's a quick overview about the Spellman series books for those of you who missed my previous reviews (links to those are below).  The Spellmans own a P.I. business (family owned & operated).  Run by Mom, Dad, David (brother who does not work with them), Rae (the younger sister who works with them) & Izzy the main character who also (obviously) works with her parents.  There are more quirky, fun characters that you will meet throughout the books & will come to love.  So, if you haven't, pick up Lutz's book & you will quickly find yourself caught up in Izzy's obsessive case investigations, her bad luck & all of her families hilarious happenings!  Oh, & did I mention the family loves to blackmail each other!?  As odd as it may sound I know it will keep you laughing out loud!



Here's the link to my review of the first Spellman book.  The Spellman Files.
Here's the link to my second book review.  Curse of the Spellmans.

Savannah Breeze by Mary Kay Andrews (Review)

Savannah Breeze by Mary Kay Andrews


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Another good one for my fellow antique lovers, yard sale-a-holics, junkers & rummage goers! Andrews sequel to Savannah Blues does not disappoint! All your favorite main characters are back...Along with a couple new ones! BeBe Loudermilk (Eloise's best friend, the main character from the last book) is the main character this time. Not to give anything away, let's just say BeBe get's mixed up with Mr. Wrong & vows to right those wrongs. She rounds up a posse made up of Granddaddy Loudermilk, Eloise & Harry (could he be Mr. Right!?) They hit the road to Fort Lauderdale, Florida determined to find Mr. Wrong. It's a fun road trip that you won't want to miss! And of course there's "junking" along the way! Another book I highly recommend!
