Totally unexpected ending. but getting there was almost torture.

This was an interesting look into the depths of competitive vegetable growing. I didn't realize all that went into grovwing vegetables for show! A little too detailed for me, but interesting all the same.

This was a delightful cozy mystery. Makes me want to visit Portland just to tray all the delicious chocolate. Loved the recipes at the end too.

I received an ARC from Netgalley of the revised third addition, to read and review.

What a great collection of recipes! I think I bookmarked a dozen or more that I'd like to try. What a great addition to my cookbook collection!

Very good mystery. I enjoyed the storyline, the descriptions and history of the park and the characters. Very good!

I enjoyed this book immensely. I like learning bits of history while enjoying a good mystery. I also really like the forensic aspect of the story line. The modern day characters were not nearly as interesting as the historical ones though.

I'll have to look up other books in the series. I think I might enjoy them.

Entertaining cozy mystery, but really just an ok story. Also not sure what was up with the brief ‘blurbs' of fact/information that would pop up between chapters.

Fantastic book with great recipes for deterring bugs in your home, from your pets and from you!! I'm fairly new in my use of essential oils, but already love using them. This books helps me with more uses for my oils and helps me get more chemicals out of my home.

I've already pre-ordered my book and can't wait for it to arrive!

I've never read any of Michelle's books before. I appreciated her candid intro and agree with her thoughts on world-building. Let me just say that this book sucked me in and I couldn't put it down! This is a classic love story and it was fantastic! The only disappointment for me was the way it ended, with no resolution to the story. There had so better be more books in this series and they need to come out now!

I enjoyed this book and the mystery that it contained. It wasn't just a ghost story, it was solving an ages old mystery. It felt like there should be more to the story to delve into why Sebastian needed a guardian and why all the families were connected.

over all a great read!

This was an ok book. There were so many different players in the story that I had trouble figuring everyone out. I think that might have been party of the storyline, but it was very confusing. It took me almost a week to read this book and I can normally knock one out in a day or two. I'm still not sure I figured it all out.

Not really what I was looking for. Some great info on prairies though.

I've never read any of the books in this series before, but it was still an entertaining and enjoyable read. Guess I'll have to check out some of the other books.

This was a cute little cozy mystery, although I felt it left a few things unexplained. The description and actions of the sheriff were also a little off-putting. Over all a good read.

I enjoyed this book, not realizing until I was done that it was the 3rd one in the series. I enjoyed the details about the monastery and New Mexico as much if not more than I enjoyed the mystery itself.

I really enjoyed this book, all the way up to the end. I won't spoil it for you, but the ending was not what I expected or really wanted. I guess it will be interesting to see what direction the series takes.

I tried to read this book several times and just couldn't get into it. I never did finish it.

Some really unsafe practices listed in this book.

Unsafe recommendations of using oils neat and in amounts that are crazy unsafe, recipes for kids that are not safe.

The premise of the book was great, but there needed to be more. I couldn't figure out how the end wrapped up so quickly and without much explanation.

I received a copy from Netgalley for review.

I really enjoyed this book. A new twist on the serial killer thriller. The only time the story dragged was when Ava was dealing with her twin sister, who has major issues, but seem to detract from the main story.

only liked 1 of the stories. typical for an anthology I guess.

I thought I knew who the suspect was, but I was wrong! Good weekend read.

Easy to read msytery with a lot going on. This 2nd book in the series contiues build on the history of the sisters but with that storyline and the main mystery it was a lot to keep straight. You can definitely read this as a standalone if you want.

This book was just so so. The blurb I read said there was a big twist at the end, but I didn't get it and the story just kind of ended. I skimmed thru quite a few pages just to get thru this one.

I received an arc from Netgalley.

Present day mystery with ties back to Nazi Germany. The story read well, with a few glimpses into history to build the story.
This is the 2nd book in this series that I've read and I'll have to go back and read the others.
