#BookReview of #VoodooShanghai by Kristi Charish (@charishkristi )via @PenguinRandomCA #UrbanFantasy Voodoo Shanghai The Kincaid Strange Series, Book Three by Kristi Charish Release date: February 18th, 2020 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I received a complimentary ARC copy of Lipstick Voodoo (The Kincaid Strange Series, Book Three) by Kristi Charish from Penguin Random House Canada in order to read and give an honest review. ... fast-paced mysteries with an urban fantasy/paranormal twist but with plenty of intelligence, wit and dark humour, making this series quirky, fun and extremely entertaining... I am a huge fan of Kristi Charish so I was thrilled to get to review the third and final (?) offering from her Kincaid Strange Series. I really have fun with this series, the books are definitely fast-paced mysteries with an urban fantasy/paranormal twist but with plenty of intelligence, wit, and dark humour, making this series, quirky fun and extremely entertaining. Our protagonist, Paranormal Practitioner, Kincaid Strange, is on the case again picking up where Lipstick Voodoo leaves off with Kincaid now working as Gideon, a powerful sorcerer's spirit's, new apprentice. Although no longer working for the Seattle PD, Kincaid is getting her life back together and she is finding a moderate amount of success. When her ex Aaron, asks for her help on an investigation in Portland, a case involving the ghost of who they believe to be Martin Dane, the White Picket Fence Serial Killer her newfound success in on the line. Something doesn't sit right with Kincaid, she knows she is not being told everything and it's making her a bit wary of taking the case but a young girl is involved.

#NetGalley #NetGalley #BookReview Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line by Deepa Anappara #CrimeFiction #missingchildren ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I received a complimentary ARC copy of Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line by Deepa Anappara from Penguin Random House Canada and Netgalley in order to read and give an honest review. “…atmospheric, intriguing story, with unique and sympathetic characters makes this such an incredibly engrossing read…” Debut author and seasoned journalist, Deepa Anappara creates an atmospheric, heartbreaking and vivid portrayal of life in a basti when children go missing from an Indian slum. Bringing to light social issues, misogyny, religious conflict, police corruption, poverty, elitism and even a touch of folklore this book is more than meets the eye. Obsessed with true-crime television, 9-year-old Jai dreams about becoming a detective. When a classmate goes missing Jai and his friends Pari and Faiz decide to investigate when the local police are indifferent. “The Djinn Patrol” decides to look into the case but when more children are taken the case becomes much more than they bargained for and hits closer to home than they expected. Personally, this book is one that will stick with me for a long time. The author brings to life vivid details in each and every scene, immersing the reader...read more at www.BelindaWitzenhausen.com

“Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors.

#NetGalley #Book #Review of The Companion by Kim Taylor Blakemore #Historical #Suspense ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I received a complimentary ARC copy of The Companion, A Novel by Kim Taylor Blakemore from NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing in order to read and give an honest review. "an exquisitely written, atmospheric suspense that kept me engaged right to the last page..." Author, Kim Taylor Blakemore gives us a beautifully written historical fiction novel brimming with slow-building suspense and atmosphere. Set in 1855, New Hampshire, our narrator, Lucy Blunt is in her jail cell awaiting the hangman’s noose looking back at the events that led her to that moment. Lucy running away from her past shows up with falsified reference letters in hand at Mill owner Mr. Burton’s estate to get a position as a servant. Hired, Lucy settles in working in the kitchen, although the work is tiring and tedious but acts as a distraction from her past and the overwhelming grief that haunts her. Her predecessor Mary is found dead and she is thrown in the middle of a grieving household. When Rebecca, the blind mistress, Eugenie Burton’s nasty companion, falls ill, Lucy ends up filling in. Unlike Rebecca, Lucy is respectful and kind towards Eugenie, earning her respect and affection. Once jealousy rears its ugly head betrayal, threats and murder are not far behind...read more at www.belindawitzenhausen.com
