Synopsis

Sherry Oliveri has attained celebrity status after winning the America’s Good Taste Recipe Contest with her delectable New England Crab Cake Sliders. But now that she’s back home in Connecticut, she’s got to deal with something else fishy . . .

Sherry’s making a guest appearance on a local radio show when the news comes in: Poppy Robinson has been found dead in the town’s community garden. Sherry was supposed to be taking questions about her win in the national cooking competition, but instead the callers start dishing dirt.

Poppy and Sherry were both involved in the vegetable garden, and while Poppy may have been a bit priggish, it wasn’t anything that called for a shovel to the back of the head. There was already trouble brewing, with the owner of the land threatening to renege on their agreement, and this murder has taken tensions to a new level. Now while Sherry’s organizing a Fourth of July cook-off event, she’s also got a murder investigation on her plate . . .

Includes Recipes from Sherry’s Kitchen!

Left Fur Dead

A Jules & Bun Mystery

by J.M. Griffin

Left Fur Dead (A Jules & Bun Mystery)
Cozy Mystery

Kensington (June 25, 2019)
Mass Market Paperback: 304 pages
ISBN-10: 1496720571
ISBN-13: 978-1496720573
Digital ASIN: B07HVS38YB

On Fur Bridge Farm, Jules cares for rescued rabbits. But when a killer strikes, she’ll need a rabbit to rescue her . . .

Juliette “Jules” Bridge prides herself on the tender rehabilitation she provides for injured or abused rabbits on her New Hampshire rescue farm, but she has a very special relationship with one bunny in particular. Bun is a black-and-white rabbit who happens to have the ability to communicate through mental telepathy. Once she got over the shock, Jules found her furry friend had a lot to say.

One frigid March morning on their walk together, Bun spots a body. The police identify the frozen stiff as Arthur Freeman, aka Arty the Mime. Jules and Arty knew each other on the children’s party circuit, where he’d perform magic tricks and she had an educational rabbit petting pen. With Bun egging her on, Jules decides it’s time they hop to it and put their heads together to discover who silenced the mime. But their investigation leads them down a rabbit hole of more suspects and lies, while a killer sets a trap for them . . .

Murder’s No Votive Confidence A Nantucket Candle Maker Mystery

by Christin Brecher

Murder’s No Votive Confidence (Nantucket Candle Maker Mystery)
Cozy Mystery
1st in Series
Kensington (June 25, 2019)
ISBN-10: 149672139X
ISBN-13: 978-1496721396
Digital ASIN: B07HVYJNRD

Nantucket candle store owner Stella Wright specializes in creating unique candles for every occasion. But someone sets the stage for murder when a Memorial Day celebration becomes a wedding to die for . . .

Jessica Sterling’s candlelight-themed nuptials promises to be the perfect kick-off to the summer’s first official holiday weekend. Stella’s thrilled to have been chosen to provide the decorative centerpiece for the wedding ceremony: a two-foot-tall scented unity candle—a symbol of the happy couple’s love. But it looks like the bride-to-be’s uncle won’t be walking his niece down the aisle after he’s found dead. The murder weapon is Stella’s seemingly indestructible candle, now split in two.

When a beloved local bartender is arrested, Stella’s sure a visiting police captain running the case made a rush to justice. With superstitious brides-to-be canceling orders and sales waxing and waning at her store, the Wick & Flame owner decides to do some sleuthing of her own. Abetted by a charming reporter and challenged by the town’s sexiest cop, Stella’s determined to shine a light on the truth and uncover a killer who’s snuffing out her own flame.

About Author Christin Brecher

Christin Brecher was born and raised in NYC, where her family and many childhood friends still reside. As such, she feels she is as much of a small-town girl as any. The idea to write the Nantucket Candle Maker series sprang from her life-long connection to the small island off the coast of Massachusetts. Spending summers there as a child, Christin read from her family’s library of mystery novels, after which she began to imagine stories inspired by the island’s whaling heyday, its notoriously foggy nights, and during long bike rides to the beach. After many years in marketing for the publishing industry, followed by years raising her children, Murder’s No Votive Confidence is Christin’s debut novel. Visit her at www.christinbrecher.com.

What’s New On My Book Shelf #319 and The Sunday Post

Posted: July 7, 2019 in Freebies!, giveaways, reviews, What's New on My Bookshelf
Tags: my weekly news, The Sunday Post

bookshelves photo: Bookshelf bookshelves.jpg

This is my own version of a weekly book haul and all things new on fuonlyknew.

I’m also linking up with The Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly @Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

~~~~~

Some chit chat.

I sure enjoyed those three days I had off this week. I spent some time in the pool. Took a few naps. Watched some movies and caught up on some shows. And relaxed, relaxed, relaxed! LOL

Is anyone feeling the HEAT? The heat index got as high as 111 this week. I couldn’t even stay in the pool too long as I was worried about getting fried and the water was actually more warm then cool. Whew, I fear what the summer will bring as it is only the beginning of July!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

~~~~~

My new books this week.

I grabbed this one up after reading Laurie’s review at Horror After Dark.

Sometimes they come back angry …

Ace’s life is satisfying in an ordinary sort of way. At twenty-five he’s deeply in love with his wife of two years, and he and Runa are expecting their first child. But when Ace’s mother-in-law passes away after a short illness, things take a turn for the weird.

Everyone in the family knows that Gretchen dabbled in the occult prior to her death, inviting friends over for occasional tarot card readings and séances. What most of them don’t know is that she spent a considerable amount of time training her grandchildren in the art of the uncanny. Now Brinn and Oliver appear to be experimenting with strange rituals—rituals linked to increasingly disturbing events.

To get a handle on what’s happening, Ace and Runa begin investigating Gretchen’s explorations into the supernatural. But it will take time, and a shocking series of developments, for them to discover how high the stakes are for their growing family.

~~~

And I came across this freebie on Amazon. Loved the cover and decided to try the author.

In a post-apocalyptic world, Sloane Delaney struggles to keep her daughters safe. With all her neighbors gone and her abusive second husband dead, Sloane and her daughters, Mae and Wren, maintain a dangerous charade to keep looters at bay from their neighborhood. When young Nicole shows up on their doorstep, nearly dead from dehydration and starvation as a result of her father’s growing paranoia, she joins the determined group as they adjust to life without most of the luxuries they had previously taken for granted. Aided by a pack of abandoned dogs, the women are able to project an image of an occupied and active neighborhood until corrupt FEMA agents arrive on the scene, threatening their hard-won sense of security. Fleeing their now-unsafe home, Sloane and her girls head for the woods and an abandoned old house Sloane is sure will be a safe haven for at least a few days. She doesn’t count on the handsome and helpful Dr. Kent having also taken refuge there. With her girls’ lives on the line, can Sloane learn to trust again in this dangerous new world?

The above cover is the one I own. Here’s the one on Goodreads.

Saturday Screams #63 ~ Congeal

Posted: July 6, 2019 in apocalypse, horror, reviews
Tags: apocalyptic, Horror, review, Saturday Screams

Welcome to my Saturday Screams where I share books that thrill and chill!

Today I’m sharing an ooey gooey one!

~~~~~

Congeal

by John F. Leonard

Genre: Horror

My Review

I love a scary good read, whether in large doses or in nibbles. Congeal is a small book with plenty of big scenes. One in particular was sad and I wished hadn’t happened.

How do I describe the plot. I’m thinking equal parts The Blob and Cloverfield, the movies. With some touches of John Carpenter’s The Thing. Whatever it is that oozes up from the bowels of the earth and seeks to consume everything on the planet is terrifying.

The author sets up the story quickly, brings the characters to life and then unleashes some wild scenes. Many don’t survive.

Take a look at the fabulous cover. That’s just one of the things you have to worry about with this stuff. Is it sentient? What will stop it? Can it be stopped? All questions I had to know the answers to. Did I get those answers? Some, yes. Some, I drew my own conclusions. And that’s okay. A good book should keep me thinking about if afterwards.

I was wrapped up in this immediately and could easily have read Congeal as a full length novel. Short stories are meant to be read in gulps and the author did a great job.

~~~~~

Synopsis

It starts with reports on the news of an inland lake turning semi-solid.
Surely, a media joke, some lame April Fool’s prank?
The before and after pictures are vaguely ludicrous and oddly disturbing, the contrast stark and strange.
First, darkly rippling water that hints at hidden depths. Slightly spooky and perfectly normal. Next, a putrid blotch of clotted sludge which bears little resemblance to anything aquatic.

It isn’t a joke.
And pretty soon, that greasy, sickening substance isn’t confined to an inland lake.
It’s spreading. Flowing over fields and filling streets.
Each morning brings a new revelation. Countryside denuded of life and towns empty and echoing.
The night is when it changes, becomes something that consumes. Something infinitely worse than a congealed impossibility.

CONGEAL is a short tale of apocalyptic horror. How the world ends may not be how you expect. Nuclear Armageddon or a zombie apocalypse could get beaten to the punch.
Our apocalypse may come from below.
An ancient, cosmic entity bubbling up to the surface in search of food.
It’s also the story of one individual and her fight to stay afloat in a sea of despair.

Rose by Rami Ungar ~ Spotlight and Giveaway

Posted: July 5, 2019 in Fantasy, giveaways, horror
Tags: fantasy, giveaway, Horror

Rose

by Rami Ungar

Genre: Fantasy-Horror

Rose Taggert awakens in a greenhouse with no clear memory of the
past two years and, to her horror, finds her body transformed into an
unrecognizable form.

Paris Kuyper has convinced Rose that they are lovers and as Paris
could not bear for her to die, he has used an ancient and dark magic
to save her from certain death.

But the dark magic Paris has used comes at a price. A price which a
terrible demon is determined to extract from Rose.

As Rose struggles to understand what is happening to her, she must
navigate Paris’s lies and secrets; secrets that Paris will
do anything to protect.

Goodreads * Amazon

Rami Ungar knew he wanted to be a writer from the age of five, when he
first became exposed to the world of Harry Potter and
wanted to create imaginative worlds like Harry’s. As a tween, he
fell in love with the works of Anne Rice and Stephen King and, as he
was getting too old to sneak up on people and shout “Boo!’ (not
that that ever stopped him), he decided to merge his two loves and
become a horror writer.

Today, Rami lives and writes in Columbus, Ohio. He’s self-published three
novels and one collection of short stories, and his stories have
appeared in other publications here and there. Rose, his first novel
with Castrum Press, released June 21st, 2019.

When he’s not writing your nightmares or coming up with those, he’s
enjoying anything from the latest horror novel or movie to anime and
manga to ballet, collecting anything that catches his fancy, and
giving you the impression he may not be entirely human.

The Friday 56 #208 ~ Sweet Wild Of Mine

Posted: July 5, 2019 in Contemporary Romance, The Friday 56
Tags: contemporary romance, The Friday 56

Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.

This is a really fun meme!

The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.

Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!

My 56 for this week is from:

Sweet Wild Of Mine

Where The Wild Hearts Are #2

by Laurel Kerr

Genre: Contemporary Romance

From page 56 in the paperback.

“You just remind me of Paul Bunyan in your flannel.” She started to flick the cuff of his shirt, but he stepped back.

Magnus crossed his arms and gave her a hard stare, looking more like a Viking than a woodsman. Considering he’d grown up on an isle in the North Sea, it was probably a more accurate description, not that June planned on sharing it with him.

This sounds like the perfect summer read. It has a sweet, awkward romance and I get to spend some time at the zoo. There’s a baby polar bear. a motherly capybara and two devious honey badgers. Oh, and a herd of fainting goats. LOL

~~~~~

Synopsis

Love runs wild at the Sagebrush Flats Zoo…

In a bid to revitalize his career, bestselling author Magnus Gray has come to Sagebrush Flats to write about the local zoo’s latest rescue―an orphaned baby polar bear. But Magnus dreads the drama of small towns and is bullishly determined to keep to himself.

June Winters is a people person, and delights in welcoming Magnus to Sagebrush Flats, though it seems unlikely she can get the handsome stranger to crack a smile. Then a mishap with an open gate forces Magnus and June to deal with a stampeding flock of fainting goats, an adorable but clingy polar bear cub, a cranky pregnant camel, and two star-crossed honey badgers. Never mind small town drama―the lively animals may just convince these two that opposites really do attract…

If you’re like me, you have a pile of books beckoning to you from your lists. Carole hosts this fun feature where you can share some of those older books and perhaps nudge you to finally read them. If you want to join in on the fun, head over to Carole’s Random Life In Books and leave a link to your post.

Creatures Of The Storm

The Rain Triptych #1

by Brad Munson

Genre: Horror

Synopsis

It hardly ever rains in Dos Hermanos. Not until one day, when the skies open up and it beings to pour–and it just won’t stop.

For the first twenty-four hours, the 3,721 citizens of Dos Hermanos will struggle to stay alive. Then things begin to appear out of the storm. They are eyeless, skinless, razor-edged creatures in a thousand different shapes–some as small as a tumor, some as large as a house. They share only two things–a boundless hatred of humanity and an endless, unquenchable thirst. Few will survive.

But a handful of extraordinary people will fight these monsters:
Ken Mackie, a software genius with a broken spirit.
Rose, his bitter, street-smart daughter.
Lucy Armbruster, a slightly mad scientist who may be the only one who knows what’s really happening.
Michael Steinberg, a man who gladly abandons his humanity to become something more and something far worse.

Who will live? Who will die? And who will learn the secrets of the Rain?

she tends to be a little biased to the fact that everything is

firm believer that anything is possible, as long as you work hard
and have determination; there is nothing you cannot accomplish.

The Kid’s Korner #37 ~ Don’t Drink The Pink

Posted: July 3, 2019 in Children's books, reviews
Tags: children's books, review, The Kid's Korner

Welcome to The Kid’s Korner.

I decided to do this feature as I have so many great children’s books to share. From picture books, to books for beginning readers, to middle graders, I have plenty of fun ones.

Today I’m sharing Don’t Drink The Pink. What a magical, fun story.

~~~~~

Don’t Drink The Pink

by B.C.R. Fegan

Genre: Children’s Book

My Review

I was enchanted by this book.

The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. So much detail and vibrant colors with lots to see.

And this is a rhyming book. So smooth and fun to read, I almost sang it the second time around.

Don’t Drink The Pink is a magical story. From age one to fourteen, on Madeline’s birthday, her beloved grandfather lets her choose a potion, always warning her not to drink the pink. Each potion has a magical element, giving her abilities like invisibility and flying. On her fifteenth birthday we finally learn why her grandfather wanted her to wait to drink the pink.

As soon as I finished this I read it again. And I’ve read it several times since. I’ve also read a couple of other books by the author including The Day That A Ran Away and Don’t Ever Look Behind Door 32. I loved Don’t Drink The Pink just as much and can only imagine the delight on children’s faces once they’ve experienced this story too.

Thanks so much to TaleBlade for a complimentary copy. My review is voluntarily given.

~~~~~

Synopsis

Follow the special relationship between Madeline and her Grandfather as they both grow and share in the most magical birthday experiences. Filled with secrets to uncover and brimming with imagination, Don’t Drink the Pink explores a number of basic concepts including colors, numbers and the reality of growing older.
