Review: Something A Bit Different
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 28, 2014
A reluctant sleuth who to this point in her life has been painfully introverted.  Recovering from an abusive mother and a belief she is possessed Rose is out to find herself.  This series blends humor, pathos, mystery and a bit of the paranormal into a story that draws you in from the first book.I picked up the first book free acting on the suggestion of one of my favorite authors Jana Deleon. (She had a blub and link from her website).  I was not disappointed.  I ended up buying the boxed set even though I already had the first book.  I like them in this format as I am known to binge read.The books work on so many levels from the dysfunctional family to the judgmental townspeople to Rose who is trying to figure out who she is now that her overbearing mother is gone.  Then there are the mysteries.  There is some mild language and some PG sex but basically suitable for 16 up.Romance lovers should be happy cozy mysteries lovers as well.  They work as standalone books but are better when read in order.The fourth book in the series is out (5th if you count the novella), and my understanding at least one more book is coming.
