Trotting into Trouble review

This is the second book in the Horse Rescue Mysteries by Amber Camp, who’s an RN herself and definitely knows the subject she’s writing about which is horses and other animals as well as being a nurse to humans. I’ve really enjoyed these two books in the series and hope there’ll be more. A word of advice: unless you don’t plan to read book 1, you’ll be fine jumping in with this book. But if you planned on reading book 1, please read it first or you’ll find spoilers within this book.

Can’t wait for another book in the series because now I’m feeling like these characters are old friends as are the critters like Biscuit the donkey. I just love Tanner, the farm hand who’s like a son to Mallory. Mallory’s dad’s pretty special too and I wish he’d just agree to move in at the rescue.

Trotting into Trouble (A Horse Rescue Mystery, #2)Trotting into Trouble by Amber Camp
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this installment and the characters started to feel like old friends. I just love Mal’s dad and it’d be awesome if he ever agreed to stay there with her.

I do think I should point out that if anyone hasn’t read the first book, and you want all the details, read it first if you don’t want spoilers because this book does name the killer from the first book quite a few times. This could work as a standalone if you had no intention of reading the first book though. Just a friendly tip there.

I sure hadn’t suspected whodunit until it became obvious, and wow what an exciting showdown running from a crazed killer! But Mal came out not unscathed but as Grady pointed out, she was at least alive. I really hope there’ll be more books in the series since the ending to this book was so sweet!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book provided by Crooked Lane via NetGalley, and my opinions are my own.

Basket Case–review

This is the first book in the Silver Six Crafting series by Nancy Haddock and I absolutely loved it! What an awesome bunch of seniors–I want to be like them when I get older. They had one heck of a great living arrangement in a nice house, their own lives and activities, but they would drop everything if another of them needed something, especially when it came to clearing their own Sherry of possible murder.

Basket Case (A Silver Six Crafting Mystery #1)Basket Case by Nancy Haddock

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I kept hearing what an awesome series this is, and now I get to agree with that! I know just after reading the first book that I’m going to wish there were more than three in this series. I fell in love with all of the seniors and Aunt Sherry, what an amazing group of friends! They were fiercely loyal to one another and would do anything for one of their other housemates. And I really enjoyed the eventually not-so-mysterious 90-something year old lady next door. Overall, I really enjoyed how this series shows how many seniors are after they retire: able, wanting to work and be useful, and they knew their way around technology. No rocking chairs for this crowd. I hadn’t guessed the killer until Nixy herself did, and the showdown was really awesome, since it involved everyone. Nixy had worked tirelessly to clear her aunt’s name when a land developer was found dead in her family cemetery, and her hard work definitely paid off. I’m so anxious to read the next book, but yet I don’t want to hurry through the series, since I’m not sure if there will be any more to it. (I wish there would be!)
