And Come Day's End: A Michael MacKaybees Mystery by Gabriel F. W. Koch is a murder mystery that will keep you up at night if you don’t finish it in one sitting. Our hero is Michael MacKaybee, a private investigator who was looking for a runaway teen when something far more dangerous grabbed his attention. When his best friend Lenny is shot dead, he somehow becomes the prime suspect in the case. But it isn’t just Michael who is suspected of the murder. His father, whom he hasn’t seen in a long time, is also one of the suspects. But that is the least of his worries. The people who killed his friend are after him. They want to silence him for some reason. However, as the body count starts to rise, Michael knows he has to do something to stay alive and find out why his friend was murdered so coldly. But will he get the chance to find out what happened before the people who want him dead catch up? And Come Day's End opens with action and ends with action. The storyline is complex and has layer upon layer of plot that will keep you entertained and hooked. I wanted to know where Michael’s father Marlowe had been all these years and why he never met his son for so long. I wanted to know why Lenny was killed, why the people responsible for his death wanted Michael dead, and how he will keep one step ahead of them and the law. The chemistry between the father-son duo was perfect for the story. They lacked synergy at the beginning, but the two put their differences aside to bring justice and clear their names. The mystery is so thick that I could almost taste it. There is action on almost every page; you see Marlowe and Michael rebuild their relationship at their own pace and they share their disagreements with the reader. Gabriel F. W. Koch did a great job of building the plot, making sure the characters were leading the story, and the reader was in the moment with them until the end. I loved this book!

Albobonnae's Way is a supernatural mystery novel written by Bella Rayne. Serena's life spirals toward a pit of despair after her husband Toby is suddenly killed in a car accident during a raging storm. With the support of her neighbor Karol and best friend Beatrice, Serena slowly recovers from her depressive spiral when she receives a letter from her Aunt Sylvie, inviting her for a prolonged stay at her Castle Fay in Scotland. However, upon her arrival, Serena is shocked to learn that her aunt has been brutally murdered. Despite herself, she becomes involved in a romantic relationship with Liam Dunningham, her neighbor. Additionally, Serena discovers that she may be the reincarnation of an ancient spirit. As unseen enemies threaten to destroy her, Serena must rediscover her inner strength to solve the mysteries of Castle Fay. Filled with romance, mystery, and intrigue, Albobonnae's Way hooks you in with a strong premise and keeps you glued to the pages with its unpredictable plot that takes you through twists you never see coming. Author Bella Rayne tells a captivating tale of a woman coming to terms with the death of her husband and discovering herself in the process. The narrative is well-paced and full of unexpected twists and turns. Serena's character arc was one of my favorite aspects of the book. Her gradual progression from a vulnerable widow to a strong and independent woman who's fearless enough to face anything that comes her way felt very satisfying to read. If you're itching for a supernatural mystery filled with romance, I recommend Albobonnae's Way.

About the Book "Officially adopted by 9-year-old Mellie Gore after escaping from YummCo Laboratories, ZomBert must play along with Mellie's plan to enter him into the Best Pet contest while plotting his revenge"-- Book Synopsis A second meaty serving of the ZomBert Chronicles offers a suspenseful treat for animal lovers and fans of spooky mysteries. ZomBert is back in book two of a wry new mystery series by award-winning creators Kara LaReau and Ryan Andrews. A stray cat who escaped the YummCo Laboratories on the outskirts of Lambert, Bert has now been officially adopted by nine-year-old Mellie Gore. He spends his days dozing in Mellie's room and his nights hunting . . . and devouring fresh prey. Bert's health and memory have returned, and his newfound strength and smarts are off the charts. Mellie, meanwhile, is busy working odd jobs to fund her cat's visit to the vet, convinced that Bert can win the Best Pet contest at the upcoming YummCo-sponsored Harvest Festival. But is Bert really the best pet in Lambert--or just the weirdest? And could he be plotting revenge? Clever illustrated fare for fans of Bunnicula and other humorous forays into the macabre.
