review 1: Mocha, Moonlight, and MurderBy: MaryAnn Kempher3 out of 5 starsKatherine O'Brian Is ex-military, an almost ex- wife, and what seems to be an extraordinary amount of bad luck. Is it really bad luck, or is someone trying to take her life? Mocha, Moonlight, and Madness starts out as a really hard read. There are so many story lines starting at once that it becomes hard to sort out who's who in the beginning. Missing words, repetition, and grammatical errors are detracting , but once you get past those obstacles the story reads quickly. It doesn't unfold quickly enough though. Scott is adorable in a goofball friend kind of way. His and Katherine's flirtatious insults will have you giggling in no time. It's obvious to everyone, except him and Katherine, that there is a major s... morepark between them. If they were not constantly saying "I gotta go" within minutes of walking into the room, they might have figured it out sooner. Even though Kathrine and Scott are the main Characters of the book, more light should have shined on Ray for a bigger impact at the end. The description of the book is more of a spoiler than a description. The writer has a lot of potential and brilliant ideas going on, but the execution of the story left me as frustrated as Katherine trying to get laid. I have to admit with all the twists and turns by the time I made it to the middle I couldn't put it down. I was completely surprised by the ending, but not as far as the story line with Scott and Katherine. The story summary really gives that away. It is worth the read just to witness Kathrine and Scott's denial and the really unique ending. Come on Katherine, you couldn't see Michael's secret coming from a mile away?Reviewed By: Amber Miller for I Heart Books
review 2: This is one of those mysteries that starts off right at the beginning and catches your interest! Katherine is out for a walk late one night in search of a good hamburger, when she witnesses one of the neighbors a couple blocks away carrying a body to his trunk. He sees her and drops the body and begins to chase her; she manages to slip away this time….This is the first book I’ve read from MaryAnn Kempher and I really liked it! All the characters were well defined but have their own agendas. A sister that is hateful, a new apartment handyman, a student in her class she has to be partners with, and another guy that suddenly appears out of her past. Not to mention the murder who is still looking for her!I really enjoyed this book and didn’t know what was going on until the very end! Can’t wait to read her next book, “Forever Doomed”! less

It was a freebie so I thought I would give it a try .. It sucked. Very slow to start. Boring plot.

I couldn't get into it at all. Needs a great deal of editing.

Good story. I honestly did not see the twist at the end.
