Book Launch: BAD MEDICINE by @carolinefardig #mystery #funny #romance #LLm

Sharing: BAD MEDICINE by Caroline Fardig


BAD MEDICINE is the third book in THE LIZZIE HART MYSTERIES series.


What do a smokin’ hot detective, an evil chiropractor, and a couple of blind dates from hell have in common?
Lizzie has to wrangle them all in the third book of THE LIZZIE HART MYSTERIES series!

Book Description:


Lizzie Hart is overjoyed that six whole months have passed without a single murder in the sleepy town of Liberty.  It’s also been six months since Blake Morgan heartlessly dumped her, but she’s determined to get over him.  She’s slimmed down, ready to party, and injury-free, except for a little nagging pain in her ankle.  She’s also very single, but her friends are doing everything in their power to fix that—including setting her up on one disastrous blind date after another. 

Lizzie’s reprieve is short-lived when an old friend of hers is found dead from an apparent drug overdose.  She wants to write it off as bad behavior after having seen the guy cheating on his wife with the new chiropractor in town.  However, when she sees that same chiropractor playing doctor with another man who ends up dead, she worries there could be murder afoot.

Doing her best to stay on the right side of the law this time, Lizzie decides to go straight to the police with her suspicions.  Unfortunately, the only cop available to speak with her is the stern yet hot new detective who has already given her a traffic ticket and a reprimand for public intoxication.  Not surprisingly, he brushes her off, leaving her no choice but to begin snooping on her own.  Lizzie soon learns she’s going to need help to get to the bottom of this mystery, but her best partner in crime solving, Blake, has turned into her worst enemy. 

Can Lizzie and Blake find a way to work together to catch the killer…or will they kill each other first?

#Review: And The Earth Moved by @ZannaMacKenzie #Books #GoddessLit

What’s the best thing to do when waiting for a loved one to have an operation? Get yourself lost in a good read. That’s exactly what Zanna Mackenzie’s ‘And The Earth Moved’ provided me. Joining hapless, yet feisty, Amber, and the hunky CCIA agent with a soft centre, Charlie, on a murder mystery trail was a far more absorbing place to be than the hospital waiting room. The story follows Amber, part-time barmaid and horoscope writer for the local rag, as she becomes embroiled in the search for the suspected murderer of her celebrity ex-boyfriend’s brother. You simply know she’s also going to get her emotions embroiled with Charlie from the get-go and yet the romance element is perfectly paced, delivering the perfect dollop of satisfaction. No spoilers, but I liked that the author left the reader suspecting there might be one or two future ups and downs in the relationship, which will take it nicely into the next in the series. What I particularly liked was that Charlie was believable as a CCIA (Celebrity Criminal Investigation Agency) agent. His attitude, competent, crisp, yet caring and protective, was just right. His methodology was believable. Obviously some research has gone into the detail. I also liked the setting. You could almost smell the beer being pulled in the traditional pub and the diesel and dust of the quarry. The attitude of the men working the quarry, the dumper bearing down on Amber and Charlie after a less than friendly reception … Well, if you want to escape in a book, And The Earth Moved is a good choice. 

And The Earth Moved

Amber Reed CCIA Mystery Book One ~ “Romantic comedy meets celebrity murder mystery”

Book Blurb:

When celebrities need a crime solving quickly and discreetly they call in the specialists, the Celebrity Crimes Investigation Agency, otherwise known as the CCIA…

One desperate phone call is all it takes to turn Amber’s day from boring to completely crazy.
The call? Her old university boyfriend Ennis, now a heartthrob actor, begs for Amber’s help.
His brother Joel is dead and Ennis has to discover the truth about his death before the world’s media hear about it and batter his door down demanding answers.

The CCIA has already assigned its top agent, Charlie Huxton, to the case. Amber’s mission? Ennis doesn’t trust a stranger to keep quiet so he pleads with Amber to shadow and help Charlie throughout the investigation. Ennis was her first love and she still has a soft spot for him – how can she refuse?

Scarily out of her depth Amber knows she needs to somehow get Charlie on side with her involvement in the case – and fast.

Plunged into the world of crime Amber’s battling something darker and far more dangerous than she’d imagined – and it has nothing to do with the equally scary chemistry fizzing between her and Charlie.

Will Charlie agree to work with her to find out how and why Joel died? Can she help uncover the truth before word gets out and an already distraught Ennis is hounded by story-hungry journalists?


Just as importantly, can she keep her sanity and still be alive when the mystery is finally solved?

THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC by @carolinefardig #mystery #funny #romance

Sharing: THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC by Caroline Fardig!

THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC is the second book in THE LIZZIE HART MYSTERIES series.  It is the sequel to Caroline Fardig’s bestselling debut novel, IT’S JUST A LITTLE CRUSH. 

Lizzie Hart is back—snooping, lying, and chick-fighting to uncover the truth, hoping not to break any hearts along the way…especially her own.

That Old Black Magic…will it put Lizzie under its spell?

Book Description:

Lizzie Hart hoped her first day back at work after nearly being killed would be uneventful.  No such luck.  Before she can finish her morning coffee, Lizzie and her co-workers find a dead body on the rooftop of their office.  Media vultures that they are, the Liberty Chronicle employees are psyched to have first-hand news to report.  Lizzie, however, is devastated when she realizes that the victim is her ex-boyfriend’s brother.

When evidence begins piling up against one of Lizzie’s friends, she reluctantly dons her detective hat once again, determined to find the real killer.  She’s not thrilled about chasing another psychopath around, but she’ll do anything for a friend.  Lizzie’s love life is rapidly becoming a hot mess, too.  Her latest attempt at sleuthing isn’t leaving much time for her budding romance with town hunk Blake Morgan.  Add that to the fact she’s hiding a secret so big it could rock the very core of their relationship, it’s no wonder that Lizzie’s in a tizzy. 

Poor Lizzie ends up juggling a murder investigation, a wacky Wiccan coven, and two men vying for her attention—all while nursing injuries left over from the last time she decided to play Nancy Drew. It’s a good thing she always has a few tricks up her sleeve.
