Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies ⭐⭐⭐⭐

 Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies by Catherine Mack 

G👀dreads

All that bestselling author Eleanor Dash wants is to get through her book tour in Italy and kill off her main character, Connor Smith, in the next in her Vacation Mysteries series―is that too much to ask?

Clearly, because when an attempt is made on the real Connor’s life―the handsome but infuriating con man she got mixed up with ten years ago and now can't get out of her life―Eleanor’s enlisted to help solve the case.

Contending with literary rivals, rabid fans, a stalker―and even her ex, Oliver, who turns up unexpectedly―theories are bandied about, and rivalries, rifts, and broken hearts are revealed. But who’s really trying to get away with murder?

Irresistible and hilarious series debut from Catherine Mack.

Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Cozy. I'm surprised it didn't indicate Humor or Chick Lit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Overall Enjoyment 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Did it grab and keep my attention? 🎣 🎣🎣🎣

Would I recommend it to anyone? Yes ➕ Probably just women.

Would I want a sequel 🕮 Yes ➕ There is a sequel "No One Was Supposed to Die at This Wedding". Wait. No ➖ I started it and DNF pretty early on. Plus, it was a continuation of the first book but a different narrator, so now she has a different voice thrown into the mix.  

Would I want to read more books by this author 📚  Yes ➕ I like her "talking to you" style.

Trigger Warnings 💣💥Well, obviously someone dies. Also a couple of attempted murder scenarios. Nothing graphic.

Spice 🌶 Just a smidge.

Plot twist 🌪 Yes

Tidbits: I like how the author talks to you during the book. Like giving clues and saying things like "I told you that but you probably weren't paying attention". The author also painted a lovely picture of Italy and the Roman vibes.

The Woman with the Cure   by Lynn Cullen  G👀dreads In 1940s and ’50s America, polio is as dreaded as the atomic bomb.

Some of the world’s best minds are engaged in the race to find a vaccine. The man who succeeds will be a God. But Dorothy Horstmann is not focused on beating her colleagues to the vaccine. She just wants the world to have a cure.

This discovery of hers, and an error by a competitor, catapults her closest colleague to a lead in the race.

G👀dreads EVERWOOD FALLS… a small supernatural community tucked up in the Colorado Rockies where witches, werewolves and vampires can live without fear of discovery, and those with curses they can’t control are sent to keep the existence of magic from being revealed to Mundanes. Green witch Sage Summers is no stranger to curses. The night her power manifested, the park outside her apartment devoured a strip mall. Classified by the Magic High Council as too dangerous to live in the Mundane world, she’s made a life for herself in Everwood Falls with her organic produce, a weekly stand at the farmer’s market, and the best group of friends a witch could ever hope for. But isolation has also meant the loss of her family, as well as an ex-fiancé who decided to put her and Everwood Falls in his rear...
