Book Title: Darkness Falls

Author: Robert Bryndza

Summary: Kate Marshall and Tristian Harper, her adorable assistant, are on the case of another killer! They're back to find a serial killer of gay men. 

Review: 4/5 It's good. Great even. Ade is a good idea for the group, since he's taken Tristian under his wing (along with Kate to a lesser extent). The worst part? The last book isn't on Kindle Unlimited. lol

Book Title:  The Twelve Topsy-Turvy, Very Messy Days of Christmas

Author:  James Patterson and Tad Safran

Summary: The story of a family, father and two children, who in the five years since their mother died have become increasingly isolated from their community and each other. The children, in an effort to make their father happy and therefore bring Christmas back into their lives, set up an online dating profile for him. What happens next is definitely not what they expected. Their aging Victorian home is soon filled with all the "gifts" from the carol The Twelve Days of Christmas."

Review: I wanted to like this book, but it was just too sappy and unrealistic. I don't mind a bit of fantasy in a story, but this one was just too unbelievable in spite of being totally predictable.

Book Title: Dead End Girl

Author: L.T. Vargus, Tim McBain

Summary: Another mystery murder. This time with an FBI profiler. So yeah... Cool. 

Review: 4.5/5 It had an interesting plot, was very well-written, and I admit, I was on the edge of my seat. The ending was really interesting, as it flipped chapters back and forth between our leading lady, Violet, and the murderer. I've never seen that before. All-in-all, enjoyable. Would read again.

Book Title:  The Horsewoman

Author:  James Patterson and Mike Lupica

Summary: This is the story of two horsewomen, really, Becky McCabe and her mother, Maggie Atwood. Both are champions in high-level show jumping and both have dreams of Olympic gold.

Review:  For me there was a bit too much detail about each of the events they rode in, often describing each of the jumps in the course. But it was overall an interesting story and the characters were engaging.

These are the first five books from the "A Noodle House Mystery" series.  It takes place in a Chinese Restaurant in a mall.  Good characters with interesting mysteries.  For a cozy series, I did enjoy these books  and will probably come back and read the remaining four of them.
