Mystery Lady by Anjannette Conner is a romantic mystery that will keep you guessing and falling madly in love. Zachary Chandler’s life was a content one, albeit a little boring. However, that was remedied when he found a raven haired woman who desperately needed help. Found almost dead, when she wakes up, she has no recollection of who she is and where she is from. The only clue about her identity is a pocket watch with the king’s crest on it. She has a British accent, so either she is a spy or someone who fell prey to someone else’s nefarious plans. With constant attacks on her life, Zach is the one who must protect her. He is obsessed with this task and it is during this turmoil that he falls for this beautiful woman. She might be the enemy, but his heart feels as if she is the one. Which one should he trust, his heart or the signs?

Anjannette Conner is one amazing storyteller. This story was wrapped up nice and tight with great writing, an amazing plot line, and wonderful choice of words. Many writers don’t have the gift of choosing the best words to describe a situation, but Conner did it in this novel multiple times. Once you start reading it, you will not be able to put it down. You will want to know what is going to happen in the end and, trust me, you will not be skipping and skimming. You will want to read each and every word because this book is that good.

My Book Review of Immediate Dead by Blue Cole

Immediate Dead by Blue Cole - Reviewed by Anjannette Conner for Readers' Favorite - 5 Stars

In Immediate Dead by Blue Cole, Sandy Cooper, a rookie female homicide detective for the Atlanta PD, has plenty of obstacles to overcome without adding the quirks of her new partner to the list. Dubbed the Reaper by the other detectives in his precinct, Michael Bennett has an aloof demeanor and a strange working style that his cohorts either find intimidating or annoying. Thrown together as partners, they quickly discover their working styles complement each other perfectly, but it doesn't take long for things to get bumpy as they attempt to stop a revenge killer focused on medical personnel. Intrigued by her partner's strange behavior at murder scenes and his uncanny 90% clearance rate on cases, Sandy puts together pieces of a puzzle that lead her to an astonishing secret that could mean the end of Michael's career.

When I read a thriller, I want the book to really intrigue me from the very beginning, and Immediate Dead by Blue Cole did exactly that. I was captivated from beginning to end. The story reveals one critical detail at the very beginning, but the author really makes the reader keep flipping those pages for all the other important reveals. I enjoyed the dynamic between the two main characters, particularly Sandy's "underreaction" to Michael's big secret, and I would definitely love to learn much more about the enigmatic Fred (Michael's friend) in future books. I need the answer to what Sandy "experienced" near the end, so I will definitely be looking for the next book in the series. 

My Book Review of Storm Rising by Kenneth Hoss

Storm Rising by Kenneth Hoss - Book Review by Anjannette Conner for Readers' Favorite - 4 Stars

When a notorious drug kingpin appears to be on the verge of getting away with yet another murder in New York City, NYPD homicide detective Kelli Storm refuses to sit back and watch it happen without a fight. Along with her new partner, she launches an investigation that leads to the shootout death of the daughter of the infamous drug lord her father tried to take down more than 20 years ago before his own brutal murder. Ordered by the DEA to drop the case, she soon gets a taste of the drug cartel's retribution when her Alzheimer's-stricken mother disappears from her nursing home. From the streets of New York to the desert outside El Paso, Texas, Kelli Storm and her ex-husband, Kevin, face down deadly obstacles to unmask the man behind the cartel and make him pay for his crimes.

In Storm Rising by Kenneth Hoss, Kelli Storm tackles some extremely difficult challenges, both personally and professionally, but she refuses to accept defeat. She deals with personal tragedy and her mother's worsening Alzheimer's symptoms by focusing on putting away the bad guys, and she isn't afraid to break a rule or two along the way to do it. This enjoyable and entertaining story has plenty of twists and turns for readers who enjoy a fast pace, and it even offers the beginning of a rekindled love story as Kelli works closely with her ex-husband to save her mom and bring down a drug lord. This is the first book in a series, and I'm definitely looking forward to finding out where the future books take Kelli Storm.
