Getting Off on Frank Sinatra
Author: Megan Edwards 



Rating/Review: ☕☕☕ 1/2 (3 1/2 cups!)

Getting Off on Frank Sinatra sounds really sexy with its double meaning but its actually just a play on words.  Its also the theme for Copper Black's life, budding investigative journalist which was just in theory until she stumbles upon a dead body.  It all started with her boyfriend getting his soon to be ex-wife pregnant (the soon to be should have warned her).  Copper swallowing her disappoint and her sad love life, went on a charity trip for her brother which led her to meeting Marilyn Weaver, prominent personality, which led her to a possible news story, which led her to meeting her son, which led her to a kind of a date with that son, which basically led her to a dead body.  The dead body happens to be Marilyn Nash.  All the while juggling her love life, while trying to decide on what story to run for her boss so she can get a shot at a new position at her paper.  In other words Copper Black is confused and still being dragged unwillingly to solve a murder.  
Getting Off On Frank Sinatra is a cozy murder mystery with a female protagonist that is just trying to live her own life drama's without the complication of a little murder.  Its pacing is steady, its heroine clueless and its plot is well developed.  Its a fun quick read for those who love cozy murder mysteries with an unwilling heroine.

It was just another day for 35-year-old-turning-36-tomorrow Jeffrey Mercier, when he woke up on his flat in London in 1969. He went on with his usual routine, going to work for his boring job at Harlan and Locke. It did seem to be an ordinary day, until a young woman told him that he's gonna die in ten minutes if he won't go out of the building. Of course he didn't believe her, yet he found himself outside the building ten minutes later, the building blown up. He was saved again from a stampede by the same young woman whom he met ten minutes ago, introducing herself as Marie-Elizabeth Giraud. Marie was tasked to save Jeff from death and take him to the Time Agency, where he's going to be inducted as a time agent. Later that day, Jeffrey Mercier's life as Mister Mercy begins.

Blog Hop Giveaway:Switched by Cassie Mae

Switched by Cassie Mae was a funny and often frustrating read but highly entertaining. Kayla, Wesley, Reagan and Talon were all friends. Reagan and Talon were a couple while Kayla and Wesley, well they've been pining for these two since high school. Told from Kayla's point of view, she, dragging Wesley along hatches a plan to break the happy couple apart. Because as everyone can see Talon is her soulmate while Wesley is Reagan's. Thus starts the funs and the laughs and the musical chairs between the four. Kayla as a character was frustrating initially for me, I have no idea whether its because she was being an evil bestfriend to Reagan or she really was in love with Talon. I could not really hate nor empathize with her at the start. As the story progressed and the romance part began, her sudden self awareness becomes believable. The pace, the tone and style of writing was excellent. I can see that Cassie Mae has developed her own unique voice in the
