Snow Place for Murder by Diane Kelly

Snow Place for Murder is book 3 in Diane Kelly’s Mountain Lodge Mystery series, and it is a series that I love. In Beech Mountain, NC lodge owner Misty Murphy is wondering if she should regret allowing Nigel Goodwin to use her lodge to promote his new resort to investors. Along with a couple of rude guests, there is also a group of local business owners and residents who descend on the lodge to voice their complaints against Nigel and his resort. When things get out of hand, Misty calls the police. The next day Misty’s two college -age sons are working at the lodge during their winter holiday and are sledding on the nearby snow pile when they discover an interesting rock. Taking it to their mother, Misty is horrified at what her boys have found. Rocky and Misty rush outside and discover Nigel frozen solid body. Why and how did Nigel die? And who would have done such a thing? I love this series for so many reasons. One is the descriptions of the mountains and the weather. One paragraph

The Late Mrs. Willoughby by Claudia Gray

Juliet Tilney, daughter of Catherine and Henry Tilney of Northanger Abbey, has been invited to visit Marianne Brandon, and they are not completely happy. Mainly because the last time she was invited out, Juliet had become involved in a murder investigation. This time, Marianne’s former suitor Mr. Willoughby has returned to Devonshire with his new bride. Juliet is looking forward to seeing her new friend.

Unfortunately, their reunion is darkened by the death of Willoughby’s new wife. Rumors begin to fly and Marianne is immediately under suspicion. Jonathan and Juliet team up once more to save their friend, but to also st

Shadowsong by S Jae-Jones

So I was not the biggest fan of the first book, Wintersong, and I think its because the characters did not go beyond Liesl and the Goblin King. In Shadowsong , the characters develop with Liesl, Josef, Kathe, the Giblin King, and more. It gives a deeper story into the old laws and what being Der Elkonig's own means. It took me a month to read it because I wanted to be clear minded to truly absorb the story. In my previous review I had stated that music technicalities took up the majority of the story. Not in this one. Oh, they were still there, but this was more emotional and historical. At the beginning of the novel was an Author's Note, and I appreciate the gesture especially considering the topic. But even if the author had left it out, anyone with empathy would have noticed right off the bat Elizabeth's depression and bipolar disorder. There were quite a few times where I had to put down the book and follow my own routine so as to not "go down the rabbit hole
