If you loved the Frosted Love series…you’ll love this 4th installment in the series that continues the adventures of Missy, Chas, and the rest of the gang. They’ve moved from Louisiana to Calgon, Florida, and have picked up an interesting cast of characters along the way! Missy and Echo travel back to LaChance, Louisiana to plan Grayson and Sarah’s wedding. Missy loves the changes that Grayson has made to her old shop, but finds herself feeling nostalgic when she revisits the town where she was born and raised.

(Summary via Goodreads) I hope you have eaten before you start reading because the cupcakes in this book are to die for. Loved this book. Chai Cupcake Killer is #4 in The INNcredibly Sweet Series. Summer Prescott was so sweet to dedicate a character to a special young reader in this book. I fell in love with the character of Destiny. She is a smart, adventurous tween that travels the country in an RV with her parents. She loves to read and is described as a bookworm. Her favorite genre is mysteries and ends up being right in the middle of one.
Missy and Echo are headed to LaChance, Louisiana to help her former employee Grayson and his fiancé Sarah plan their wedding. Missy loves what they have done to her old store. She takes a walk down memory lane and ends up at the park where she meets Destiny. Little does Missy know but she will be seeing a lot of Destiny and be in the middle of a murder mystery! Destiny goes for a seemingly innocent walk when she stumbles upon a house. She loves to meet people since she is in an RV all the time. She goes to the house hoping to meet new people and ends up finding two dead bodies. When she first enters the house she notices a box of G&G Cupcakes Galore on the table half eaten.
By the time Missy ends up back at the store the police are there to question Grayson. And Detective Simmons has already made his mind up that Grayson is suspect number one. YIKES! Destiny comes into the shop and gives just enough information for Missy and Echo to start their own investigation much to the dismay of Grumpy Simmons.
Will they be able to help their friend before he ends up in jail? Can a tween they just met help them track down a killer before he or she strikes again???
I love this series and all the characters. Especially Spencer! I can't wait to see what happens in the next book because this one left us with a lot of of surprises. Review by Penny M.

One cold dead body......(Prices may vary)
Josie and her best friend, Brad, are next in line at Greenville's famous pastrami-sandwich-producing hotspot--Danny's Deli. Their highly anticipated lunch break turns stale when employee Gordy Fitzgerald's body is found in the freezer.
Word soon surfaces that Gordy had been stabbed shortly before being found--and the weapon is missing. Locals are devastated by the discovery, and the amount of speculation on the killer's identity is far greater than the holes on a block of Swiss cheese.
Who killed the beloved sandwich wizard?
Josie's untamed curiosity is determined to answer just that.
Along the way, she has a few tasks at hand: maintaining a blog, coming to terms with her feelings for Tony, and keeping up with the shenanigans of her corgi, Petey.
All this, and finding a killer.
Shouldn't be too hard. Living in a small town like Greenville, there's no place anyone can hide.
Not even a murderer...right? (Summary via Goodreads) Sliced and Toasted with Murder book two in A Josie Rizzo Cozy mystery series is a culinary and mystery lovers dream come true. Both of these elements along with the amazing characters are a must read!

They are trying to find out why someone would want to kill a man who everyone loved???
Even with all of her investigating she still manages her food blog "Good Eatin' For The Curvy Soul" and living her dream. But she is also at a crossroads and needs to figure out her true feelings for Tony, her friend and boss who she has known all her life. WOW she has a lot going on! Will she and Brad be able to solve this case before anyone else gets hurt or will someone get away with murder?
I can't say enough good things about this cozy! If I could give it more than five stars I would hands down. It is so fun and entertaining you will be laughing out loud. Especially with Gerte's sense of humor and Petey's lack of exercise. I had tears from laughing so hard with the antics Petey was doing. On to book three. Review by Penny M.

(Summary via Goodreads) What can be said about a Joyce & Jim Lavene book that hasn't already been said ?? I for one am a HUGE fan of their books, loving every one. The magical way they draw a reader into the story is .... well magical.The talent between them is out of this world amazing. One Last Goodbye is the second book in The Sharyn Howard Mystery series. I truly enjoy this series for so many reasons. First you have a female Sheriff who is following in her father and grandfather's footsteps.

But with the help of Nick and her small staff, Sharon has no doubt in her mind that they can solve both cases...even with people in town who don't think they can .....or want them to.
Although we lost Joyce in October of 2015, she remains alive in her books and in our lives. Her husband Jim is truly a Saint for continuing the work they started and for keeping a huge void in the cozy mystery book world from happening. For that I am forever grateful for Jim's strength and I will ALWAYS be a huge fan and read EVERY book by these GREAT authors. How about you ?? Review by Missi S.
