review 1: This time around, reluctant corpse magnet Odelia Grey really manages to put her foot in it: finding a dead body in the coat room at the reception following the marriage of her best friend's daughter. The book opens with an understandably freaked-out Zee Washington brandishing a c...

review 1: Sue Ann Jaffarian’s Ghost of Granny Apples series is a favorite for me. It is a paranormal cozy series. Medium Emma Whitecastle and her great-great-great grandmother solve mysteries and in this latest book go to Las Vegas to help a former Vegas showgirl deal with an old casino he...

review 1: At first I wasn't sure how I felt about this book. There were some rough passages, and I don't think it was the best book ever written. There were some cliches and some moments where I wasn't sure if the emotions were described well (I blame this on Plato, since I read this right...

review 1: I give it three and half stars! I think this series is really fun. The first book Ghost Ala Mode, took place in part, in Julian, California and the second book took place at Catalina Island. So I like the Southern California aspect to the stories. The main characters, Emma Whit...

review 1: Odelia is a fun character and the book was an easy read. It might be better if I started this series at the beginning. The author had to weave the back story from earlier books into this novel to let the reader know how the characters connected. Sometimes the back story fit we...

review 1: I read Jaffarian's Too Big to Miss and like it well enough. Then I stumbled on Ghost A La Mode and loathed it. So, I gave another of her series a try. This one was probably somewhere in the middle. I waffled between a C- and a D+, but went with the D+ in the end. Madison is ...

review 1: This book is more like 3.5 stars (why hasn't goodreads come up with half stars yet?) I just don't feel like it's quite four stars because while it is entertaining and well written, I just have so much trouble suspending reality when reading these Odelia Grey books. Not only for w...

review 1: Baited Blood was a really good follow up to the first book. It seems every author today has their own spin on the vampire genre. Jaffarian definitely has her own set of rules. First of all you need to have a specific kind of life line in order to become a vampire. Her vampires ca...
