REVIEW - 

The Five Santas - 4 stars. 

Wow.  First I would like to say, I am a romance reader so this is out of my wheelhouse. BUT.  I want more. I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Dan and Abbey. 

The writing is very good. I was in the story and even though sometimes I had trouble following, it was worth a second read.

Dan is the main character and his view of the world around him is interesting. I liked how the writer conveyed the littlest mannerism quirks. You always read books about big strong alpha males saving the princess, this isn’t one of those books. Dan is just an ordinary guy living life.

This story makes me believe everyone can be a hero if the circumstances are right.

I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.

Dan and his faithful sidekick Abbey return for this new mystery, as college professors keep disappearing, students end up poisoned, and someone keeps trying to kill Dan.

REVIEW: 

The Cult of Koo Kway by Jay Mims – 4 stars

I don’t read detective books, but I thought I would try this series.  I like it a lot.  There are places where more would be better but the overall story is a great read.

We catch up with Dan having a very bad day.  Then he runs into Abby and things get worse.  Dan’s references to tv shows and movies are fun.  Trying not to ruin the book for you with spoilers all I can say is that there are some fun gadgets, car rides, and hospital visits in your future if you read this book!

Dan must call on his best detective skills, and his worst Hercule Poirot impersonation, to solve this latest mystery.
