REVIEW - CONALL - A whale of a tale

Conall by Rye Cox

Date read: 28th May 2024

My rating: 4.5* 

Genre I reckon: M/M Paranormal Romance 

Buy link: Amazon 

Wow, this is unique! A whale shifter/ human pairing. But it totally fits into the Black Cate Circus. There’s a bit of an age gap and size difference going on. I thought there may be more jeopardy given the start, but happily, there was low angst as I expect from this series.

It has all the snuggly feels plus a bit of first-time vs playboy vibe going on.

Really well written characters alongside brief appearances from the other circus guys. Two beautiful guys supporting one another as they work out their place in life. The balance of confidence was intriguing.

Conall has featured as a side character before, and I was overjoyed to see him get his own tale. Such a sweet chatterbox <3

A sweet, fun, intriguing addition to the Black Cat Circus.

4.5*

Always in love and light,

REVIEW - GAME OF SCONES - murderous shenanigans

 

Game of Scones by Kim M Watt

Date read: 20th May 2024

My rating: 5* 

Genre I reckon: WI Cosy Mystery 

Buy link: Amazon 

Oh, my! The WI are delving into the world of politics! :O 

Usually when I say 'support our farmers' I'd mean buying their produce at reasonable rates, wonky or not. However, in this case, it's more stop them being chased off entirely!

I'm happy to report that the mayhem is a little less raucous than the last instalment. However, it is a lot more dangerous as members of the local council are getting bumped off. Is this a challenge too far even for our intrepid Alice? 

I love all these characters. They're who I turn to when I need a cosy mystery which makes me chuckle. Each WI lady is unique, as are the dragons, but they all have a cake obsession. But with all their running around, they need it. DI Adams is maybe slightly less cynical - could the countryside be growing on her? 

The hilariously inept protestors make a welcome return in this one too. 

Oh, and can I just say how much I love these covers? There are little hints when you look at them. Delightful!

Gentle, funny, dangerous mayhem! 

Always in love and light,
