Happy Book Birthday, Sherry & Liz, and #giveaways

by Posted on

Congratulations to two of the Wickeds, who have books being released today. In keeping with our theme for the month, both of these books are about wonderful gathering places: The Sea Glass Saloon and JJ’s House of Purrs.

Sherry and Liz (Cate) are celebrating by giving one book to each of two lucky commenters below.

Sherry Harris’s book, A Time to Swill, is the second book in her Agatha-nominated Chloe Jackson Sea Glass Saloon Mysteries.

Here are some early reviews

From Goodreads

What can I say other than I loved it even more than the first book! I read it in one day, couldn’t put it down.

The mystery grabs the reader’s attention from the very first pages and doesn’t let it go until the end.

As a lover of all things Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mysteries, there was no way I was missing out on this new series by Sherry Harris. I was not disappointed…

From NetGalley

I now love two series from Sherry Harris!

Great characters, lovely setting, interesting mystery to solve and a little hint of romance…

There are so many twists and turns in this book I couldn’t put it down.

Cate Conte’s (Liz Mugavero’s) release is Claws for Alarm, the fifth book in her Cat Cafe Mystery series. (Fifth book? How on earth did that happen? Time flies when you have good books to read.)

Here are some early reviews

From Goodreads

…guaranteed to put a smile on the reader’s face.

A solid whodunit and cute kitties. What more can you ask for?

An intricate plot with a satisfying ending.

From NetGalley

Cate Conte skillfully crafts a complex mystery in this hard-to-put-down Cat Cafe Mystery.

Great read. Lots of action..

OMG this is totally just what I needed I’m so glad I brought my Kindle to the beach with me perfect setting! And quirky adorable characters I wasn’t bored for a second.
