Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door by Lucy Score

 My pick for a Halloween read is a witty, hilarious, and loveable character filled story starring Riley Thorn, the local psychic who wants to be normal.

Riley has just gotten divorced and screwed at the same time, and not in the fun way.  She moved into an old mansion filled with older people, each with their own unique personalities and a fun part of the adventure.  Except for the neighbor across the hall who got shot.

Riley foresaw the murder and decides she needs to understand her psychic abilities if only to help catch the killer.

It comes with a catch.  That would be the ultra handsome PI, Nick Santiago, whom Riley knocks down a flight of stairs while attempting to stop the murder.

Nick doesn't believe in long-term relationships, but Riley tempts him in a way he doesn't understand.  They figure out they need each other in special ways to solve the murder, and team up as investigators along with a cover of the "fake fiancé" act.

Riley's eccentric family, her mansion-mates, and several other tag-a-longs combine their skills, humor, and perceptions to round up a team of bad guys and the couple-of-the-week, aka, Riley and Nick.  

I thoroughly enjoyed the wild antics of the elderly in Riley's apartment along with just how a crazy lifestyle is proved to be so much more fun and fulfilling than just being normal!  I highly recommend downloading this story.  Give yourself plenty of reading time because you won't want to stop till the end.

Happy reading,

One True Mate-5 Shifter's Rogue by Lisa Ladew

A truly delightful read!  Paranormal, romance, and characters with amazing personalities.

Mac, a wolfen shifter, is innocent, funny, strong, verile, and sexy as all get out!  He’s been told by his (hard for him to admit) friend, Bruin, a bear shifter, that his one true mate will appear at the yearly “rut” session.

Mac has a quirky friendship with Bruin.  Their words, full of wit and lots of expletives, made me chuckle as I read.  They each have their own powers as they tumble toward making Mac’s dream come true.    

Rogue has been a thief and liar her whole life.  It was the only way to survive and she knew nothing else but to steal from the stealers and give to the more deserving.  For a cost, of course.  She also has unusual and unknown powers to make interesting things go her way. 

She never lets her guard down and is astounded that anyone, let alone Mac, would want her for life, to cherish and love.  That’s a new concept and she’s not giving in easily. 

Rogue has a target on her back and the only one to save her is the man/wolf who shows nothing but respect while she insists on keeping him at bay.

What does Mac have to do, such as save her from a monster, to prove he would do anything for her?  Is that enough for Rogue to soften her heart for more than a couple or thirty-some rolls in the hay in one weekend?  Sex is awesome, but there’s so much more to the one true mate.

I adore the voice of Lisa Ladew, and anyone looking for a light, springy, sexy romance should download this novel right now!

Happy reading,

Dawn
