Her writing always pulls me in and I never stop before the last word on the last page. This has led to some seriously late nights, but I&#8217;ve never regretted one moment of it. Death Fricassee is no different. It&#8217;s a great blend of romance, love, loyalty and paranormal. The characters are well written and though two of them appear in a previous book, this book really can stand on its own. Also, I&#8217;m happy to say that while this book is the first in a series, it doesn&#8217;t end in a cliffhanger..it ends just right, leaving you wondering the answers to some of the mystery. The rest of this series is already on my mental wish list.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>I received a copy of this book for the purpose of this review. &nbsp;All thoughts, comments, and opinions are my own.<\/i><br \/>\nIf you like what you&#8217;ve read here, please share it with others using these buttons:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want a recipe for disaster?
