Short description from goodreads :

 A Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery Series has been optioned for film.Welcome to Normal, Kentucky~ where nothing is normal.A Campers and Criminal Mystery Series is another brainchild of USA Today Bestselling Author Tonya Kappes. If you love her quirky southern characters and small town charm with a mystery to solve, you're going to love her new cozy mystery series!

Everyone in Normal is excited for the Hoe Down to celebrate the opening of the new Old Train Station motel grand opening. The evening comes to an abrupt end when a lightning storm knocks out all the power. At least, that's what appears to have knocked out the electricity. But things aren't always as they appear.Mae West has a way of sticking her nose where it doesn't belong and finds herself in a dangerous situation when she finds a treasure map that leads to more than just treasure. . . a dead body

My opinion:

          Normal is sure a place with a lot of murders and mystery and those attract Mae like nothing else....even when she wants nothing to do with it- for our pleasure-.

When Mae finds a new corpse during the grand opening of the new motel she can't stay away especially when friends ask her help...even if it makes her boyfriend edgy. She is loyal and determined  as well as clumsy ...so between murder, possible stolen, hidden money and her job at the camping she is very busy and need her gang from the laudromat to help her clear her mind.

There are a lot of humour with all the girls ( without forgetting the dogs always too cute and funny) and the space of the investigation is just great  with several twists . We follow her with a lot of pleasure and we do get our answers as well .

A great cozy mystery for an excellent reading time. even better read in order but perfect as stand alone.

Score:  4,5/5

Description from goodreads :

 Everyone eventually breaks under torture.

It’s a truth elite solider and government agent Dorian Lindstrom, codename Ghost, knows firsthand. His body may have recovered from what was done to him in that Afghani prison six years ago, but his mind…not quite so much.

He’s seeing dead people.

Grace Brandt, government codename Wraith, knows her past can’t be forgiven. She has stayed “dead” for as long as she could, but now the forces she’s been fighting, the secrets slowly suffocating her, won’t stay hidden any longer.

And the man she helped break—the man she's always loved—is the only one who can stop the danger threatening them all.

When it comes to keeping the people he loves safe, including the one who thinks she’s not worthy of it, there is no danger—past, present or future—Dorian won’t battle.

The Ghost will rise.

My opinion:

          Fabulous rollercoaster of feelings, i couldn't put it down.

I loved Dorian since the beginning of the story as he is the most damaged member of the team but still determined to be there for his friends and brothers. We learnt that he was tortured before in the story but in this book we get a deeper insight into what he was submitted to and i just admire him even more now as i'm sure few could do as well as he is doing and still believe in humanity after what he suffered.

Grace or Ray as she wants to be called now also suffered greatly even if she doesn't realize it completely yet. As she discovered that they were lied to she tried to take measures, she loved Dorian and wanted to protect him for that she had to do things that put weight on her soul even if most of those were just and needed....She had to make people believe she was dead and given up on a lot more...she made some definitive sacrifice for her country, as she believed then.  Now years later someone is killing their group and she takes new risks ....always for Ghost/ Dorian.

Both are deeply damaged and in a sense that's why their are perfect for each other, as few could understand their reactions and switch in behaviour. Still we would love them to get a real HEA one day  because they sure paid a big enough price as we discover along the pages. They have a family with the Linear tactical team , they deserve no less.

The story is wonderfully written and with a lot of twists; i did guess the reason of her nosebleeds but the author still managed to surprise me. Why not a 5stars then? Because i felt as the villains got it too easy ...comparing to what Dorian and other went through i wanted the bad ones to suffer and at this point i don't consider it enough But it's a kind of cliffhanger, they still need answers so these events are not completely finished yet so it could still happen ( sure hope so).

This is really an excellent military romance i recommend without hesitation ( but with some tissues for this one)

Score:  4,5/5

Description from goodreads :

 Sweet as honey, soured by murder!

Everyone in Cottonwood loves the new bakery, Sweet Shop. Until a Cottonwood resident is found dead with a half-eaten donut in her hand.

Sheriff Kenni Lowry has her hands full. With a new murder in town and a new deputy to train, she’s not sure if she’s ever gonna get this booger solved.

Sheriff Elmer Sims comes to the rescue, stepping up as Kenni’s ghost deputy. As the ex-dead-now-ghost deputy and Kenni’s Poppa, there’s clues beyond the sprinkles in the donut that only he can see.

Add to Kenni’s stress, Finn Vincent’s, Kenni’s hunky boyfriend and new sheriff of Clay’s Ferry, parents have come to town to meet Kenni and her parents. And Kenni’s mama ain’t too happy. As they say in the South, nobody’s happy if mama ain’t happy.

With Poppa’s keen insight and Kenni’s determination, Kenni focuses all her attention on bringing the killer to justice before the yeast rises and another dead body turns up.

Save room for dessert. You don’t want to miss this Southern mystery!

My opinion:

          I really loved this instalment but it's not my favourite either. The intrigue is perfect with false turns, deeper secret, and really a investigation great built. The characters are great as well , the clash between both families was funny , Kenni's mother is still all for appearances as well and i love the southern ambiance. Cottonwood drama is really fun to discover

However, i liked less all Kenni's doubts about Finn.....i do understand her mostly but at this point with the time they were together i think she should trust him more and not jump onto conclusion no matter what Poppa said. She disappointed me .

The story a was excellent blend between mystery, humour and the touch of romance, the author mislead the reader in the investigation which is really pleasant .

A great cozy mystery to be enjoyed without moderation. Better read in order of the series but works well as standalone too

Score:  4/5
