Book Review ~ Her Grave Secrets by Kendra Elliot

Finished ~ Her Grave Secrets (Rouge River 03) by Kendra Elliot
Completed 10/30
4 of 5 stars
unknown page novella


I received this book from NetGalley for my honest review.

Her Grave Secrets is the third book in the new "Rouge River" series by authors Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh, a series of novellas set in small town Solitude, Oregon.

My review of the other books in the series ~
On Her Father's Grave by Kendra Elliot ~ 4 stars
Gone to her Grave by Melinda Leigh ~ 3 stars


Her Grave Secrets continues the story of the town of Solitude and the people in it. In this book, we're back with Zane and Stevie, the duo from book one. In this story, another body has been found and they are wondering if, and how, it's connected to the recent drug problems in the area. They, along with Seth from book 2, are investigating.

This was another enjoyable book. I definitely prefer Stevie and Zane to Carly and Seth. I'm just not a fan of Carly. In this book, Stevie and Zane are just as adorable as they were in the first book, more settled as a couple and very much in love. This book was all about the suspense and the mystery of the drug problem instead of their relationship, which I prefer.

It definitely left me wondering what in the world is going on, and wanting to see how it all comes together in the next, and last, book. Though I'm not looking forward to reading about Carly, and specifically her work, I definitely need to see where this went, who is behind it all and find out the answer to the biggest question of all!!

A good solid read, enjoyable and quick. It keeps your attention but is a fast read. I really am loving Kendra's books, I don't think there's been one I haven't liked yet. I recommend this series for fans of romantic suspense, with more suspense than romance.

Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-Thon Wrap-Up

Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-Thon is hosted by My Shelf Confessions

The Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-Thon wrapped up. For the first time, I didn't meet or surpass my goals. I blame it on this on-going cold I can't seem to shake. But I don't consider it a fail, to not have met my goals, I don't put that much stock in it. I could have done more but I didn't feel like pushing myself when I didn't feel well. It also seemed like there wasn't a lot going on with this RaT. Half of the fun for me is the interaction between blogs and I only had 1 person I follow doing it. I would have been more active about hitting blogs if I felt better. Ah well, next time.

I still read and got the reviews that I wanted to posted. It was a good time, despite this lingering cold. Here's how my week ended up.

Goals

• Complete at least 16 books ~ Completed 14
• Complete at least 3 ARC/Review books & post reviews ~ Completed 3
• Complete at least 5 comics ~ Completed 14
• Visit at least 10 blogs ~ Visited 2

Reviews I wrote (all 4 stars!) ~

It's Monday! What are you Reading?

It's Monday! What are you Reading? ~ Hosted by BookJourney


As I suspected, after Dewey's, I didn't get much sleep. I ended up with a cold that the hubby brought home, so this whole week has been yukky. I haven't slept much at all, finally getting a little bit of sleep on Saturday, but still not feeling 100%. I was taking part in the Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-Thon and I didn't do as well as I wanted, but still got some stuff read.

If you've been following me regularly, then you know I gave up on Discovery of Witches for a while and was, maybe, going to revisit it. I decided I'm just giving up on it completely. I did NOT enjoy it at all, only got through about half and never did learn what was really going on, so enough of that crap. :/
