Death on the Isle of Love by Emily Queen My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’ve been a fan of the Mrs Lillywhite Investigates series for a while now, so I jumped on the chance to review the audiobook of Death on the Isle of Love, the third in the series. This time around, Rosemary and Co have taken a holiday to Cyprus, and it’s not long before there’s a death. I really enjoyed listening to this mystery. The story is a good one, with all sorts of suspicious characters staying and working at the hotel. It was great fun to follow Rosemary and her friends as they try to figure out what happened. The setting was a lovely one, with the luxurious hotel and the beautiful surroundings. Although Rosemary and Co didn’t manage to see as much of it as they were hoping to! The narration was very good, putting in expression and feeling, and generally bringing the story to life. The different characters were well distinguished with different voices. Overall, I very much enjoy...

Meet Me at Midnight by Holly Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars I absolutely loved The Midnight Village (not to mention all of Holly Martin’s other books), so I was thrilled to get my hands on Meet Me at Midnight. I loved reading this book, it was great fun. I loved Iris and Lynx, and how they worked together to sort things out. I love the setting too. The village of Midnight is such a great location, I love the idea of a village full of witches who are then free to do their magic with no non-magical people around to see. It all feels surprisingly real! I love the sense of community and all the different kinds of magic. The other location in Scotland was also beautiful and magical too. The romance was lovely too. I can totally understand the way Iris feels when she has her premonition, but I did enjoy watching Lynx and her work it out. Overall, this was another magical romance in my favourite setting. I can’t wait to read the next one. I was given a copy...
