A Maggie Mercer Mystery Blog Tour, Review, & Giveaway!!!

Welcome Chick and Dudes to the tour of the Maggie Mercer Mystery. 

Here's a little about the author:

Jill is the eldest of four children born to Christian parents in East Central Pennsylvania. It took a while, but the rebel within finally broke free. After shocking family and friends by enlisting in the US Army, then marrying--not much of a shock--birthing three sons, and getting divorced--again not much of a shock--she's now settling in, back in the great State of PA ... until the next adventure.

 

Jill began writing nonsense stories for her siblings and friends while in grade school, probably from the time she learned cursive. Her writing has improved. (A good thing.) With time, maturity and persistence, she continues to hone her craft in a variety of genres ... and at the urgent butt-kicking of her friends.

During the thirty-odd years she was 'away from home,' she never lost her love of creating prose. It was only a few years ago, she met another writer, and accepted an invitation to join a writing group. Not only did she make many new friends, she also learned more about the craft, and how to market her work.

Author: Jill Behe

Series: A Maggie Mercer Mystery

Genre: Romantic Mystery, Cozy Mystery, Women Sleuth Mystery

Rating:

**Disclaimer:  A copy of this book was provided by publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Welcome to Mossy Creek. We’re small and easy-going with a lot of community pride and camaraderie. What we don’t have a lot of is crime.

A close-knit laid-back little borough, so close to the southern border of Pennsylvania we’re almost in West Virginia. Townsfolk like to say: “We’re south enough to lend credence to our slight drawl, but sufficiently north of the Mason-Dixon to be ‘damn Yankees’.”

None of us were prepared for murder … especially involving a teenager.

Magdalena Elizabeth Susannah Maria-Louise Mercer, whew that was a lot. Maggie is the dispatcher for the local police department is Mossy Creek. She has the privilege to have a front row seat to the beautiful Chief Madison. Every woman and man in town has a crush on the man but he has no clue. He does have his eyes on one lucky lady but I won't spoil that for you. Well in good old Mossy Creek a tragedy hurts the town. The Chief's Goddaughter is murdered. It is up to the three live crew, Chief Madison, Maggie, and young Officer Anderson to solve the case that has hit so close to home.

There are not enough words that I can express of how much I loved this book. I felt like I was Maggie living through all the mystery books I've read that can finally be put to use. I don't know what Chief Madison would've done without Maggie on the team to help keep his cool during this difficult time. See what happen was Officer Anderson was sent out to the swimming hole by Maggie to make sure everything was safe for the kids since school was letting out. Unfortunately, when Officer Anderson arrived he found Miranda Richards hanging from a tree. This is the beginning of a hard investigations that under-covers some unbelievable situations. The only plus side to this situation was that two people were finally brought together that have had a crush on each other for YEARS!!!

Maggie is all kinds of awesome that I wish to be when I get older. She is able to have the love of her pass away and show it's ok to move to another love. She totally rocks. Chief Madison is so cute. The lady his has a crush on has to tell him the whole town has a crush on him and he does not see it. Damn that man is sexy. Do I have to wait to get in my 40s and move to a small town to meet a Chief Madison? I will if I must.

Overall, Mossy Creek receives a sultry wicked key. The story-line is so catching that when the book ends all you want is to continue to book 2. Readers please prepare yourself to have book 2 available before reading book 1. It is just that good!

If you're not addicted yet, here a little on book 2:

Mossy Creek is in the midst of a bone-chilling winter. Even then, crime doesn’t take a vacation. If the temperatures don’t rise to the plus side of zero soon, the citizens will be suffering from Freezer Burn.

A visiting reporter has allegedly gone missing. Wyatt and Ricky are pulling double duty out at the lake, helping prep the hillside for the annual toboggan run. The mailbox baseball bandit, from last summer, has escalated his bashing spree. And, Maggie has acquired a stalker.

And, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

It’s cold outside, y’all. Come on over here. Warm yourselves by the fire while I’ll fill you in.

Title: Blood Slave

Author: Kathleen Collins

Series: Realm Walker, Book 3

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Rating:

**Disclaimer:  A copy of this book was provided in exchange for an honest review.

Can she find a killer in a town where the basest desires are allowed to run free?

 There are zombies in the Dead Zone and Juliana Norris is sent to take care of the problem. And for there to be zombies, there had to be bodies. When vampires are found to be the culprits, Juliana is sent undercover in the red light district of Kansas City. Lying to her mate, Thomas Kendrick, isn’t something she wants to do, but she’s in another vampire’s territory and Thomas would not be pleased. Besides, she’s more than capable of doing the job and she needs to prove it to everyone. Most of all herself.

Charles Morgan is in control of the Kansas City area, making a rich living off his various enterprises. Juliana goes undercover at the strip club Lust and gets sucked into his dark, decadent world. More victims turn up and the Agency is positive they’ve got their man, but Juliana is not so sure. When the Agency refuses to listen, she reluctantly turns to Thomas for help. He intervenes but finds Juliana unaware of the danger she is in and discovers she may just be too deep for him to save.

What is there to say about Blood Slave other then IT WAS AWESOME!! I love the chemistry between Juliana and Thomas. Thomas absolutely loves this woman and would do anything for her but Juliana is still somewhat trying to find her way. You would think a near death experience and losing a best friend would make a person grab hold to the ones they love. But no, Juliana is still fighting with the guilt of her partner being the bad guy that caused all the hurt in her world and truly trusting Thomas. Thomas still has the caveman type thinking at times but he is trying to take that step back that he knows Juliana needs. Unfortunately, Juliana put's herself in yet another situation that Thomas has to try and get her out of....at the last minute.

Juliana and her partner Nathaniel are having a zombie issue in the Dead Zone and this leads them into going undercover in another master vampire's territory, Charles Morgan. Now the problem with this is how Juliana gets around Thomas to do this job. Let see, did you guess that she lied about what she was doing? Ding ding ding you are right. Yep, Juliana did not learn her lesson and is walking into a situation without a pot to pee in. Well when the ship high, shit, it's the fan she goes running to Thomas for help. Thomas has been in the background stressing the freak out trying to find out what Juliana is up to but gives her the independence she wants to complete her job. It's just hard for him because he wants his mate to feel comfortable about coming to him for everything. I was very happy about the help that Thomas pulled in, the Wardens. I love Clayton and the crew. Well things get ugly quick when Juliana finally tells Thomas that she is working in Charles Morgan's territory and why she is there undercover. Let me tell you, the title of this book, Blood Slave, explains actually what's going on plus more in Morgan's territory.

Have you obtained Blood Slave yet? What's taking you so long! This book was a great continuation to the Realm Walker Series. To see Juliana continue to grow, is great. You can tell that with each near death experience, Juliana is opening her eyes to what she sometime takes for granted. I can't want to see more Thomas, Juliana, Nathaniel, and the Wardens. Blood Slaves is insanely sultry. Just prepare for a sleepless night because once you pick this book up, you won't put it down until the last page.

Check out this AWESOME excerpt:

The zombie Pomeranian yipped at Nathaniel in between growling and tugging at the leg of his jeans. Juliana pulled her foot back to kick the creature away from her friend and made ready to bring her sword down on it as soon as it was clear.

“Don’t,” Nathaniel protested as he held up a still-clawed hand. “You might hurt it.”

Her brows arched up into her hairline. “That would be the general idea.” The thing growled again and she looked down at it where it was doing its utmost to gnaw a hole through Nathaniel’s jeans. And she wasn’t entirely sure it would stop when it got to skin. I realize you have a particu-lar kinship with all things canine, but it’s gnawing on your leg.”

“Just my jeans.” Now back in fully human form, he bent and disengaged the dog from the denim.

“Easy there, boy. Good dog.” When the Pomeranian continued to express its displeasure with the situation in general and Nathaniel in particular, he lifted the beast above his head, looked at it nose to nose and growled back. Evidently recognizing an alpha even in its altered state, the dog curled in on itself and whimpered before darting its tongue out to lick Nathaniel’s nose. Juliana grimaced. Zombie breath couldn’t be pretty.

“See, he doesn’t mean any harm,” her friend said as he tucked the abomination under one arm. Their scruffy brown hair made them look surprisingly similar.

She blinked at him in disbelief before taking another look at the creature in question. When she bent closer, it growled and she straightened with a huff. “She.”

“What?”

“She. Name tag says Fifi. Last time I checked that was a girl’s name.”

Nathaniel snorted in derision. “Fifi. What a prissy name.”

“Hate to break it to you, partner, but that is a prissy dog. And it smells like mold.”
