Booked for murder by r.j. blain 5Janette was a body guard of the rich and fabulous When a car accident took that life away from her and she was given barely any hope of waking up letalone surviving she beat the odds She woke up and when she did she hightailed it out of there to hide in plain sight and live the remainder of her life the best she could with her injuries Life as a librarian suits her just fine she has some friends a cat and she is surrounded by books No one cares that she limps and they even help her when she lets them But when her former boss s best friend is murdered on the steps of Janette s library things take a turn for the interesting With the help from said former boss as well as her friends and fellow librarians they set out on the task of catching the killer what Janette doesn t count on is her ex employer s need to reclaim what belongs to him I ve read a book from Blain before It was one of her magical romantic comedies I was hoping that I would enjoy this book better as it s the beginning of a new series so figured the narrative might have a different voiceit didn t The premise for this story was awesome and that synopsis sold me the second that I read it But unfortunately the story fell a bit short of my expectations The synopsis had me thinking that we were going to have a kick arse strong female lead who is fighting back against her ex employer who would be a dangerous and powerful man who is willing to do whatever it takes to get Janette back in some form or another However what I got was a female lead who is incredibly whiney and childish and a male lead who I can barely even call that if I m honest He was just as whiney as his female counterpart and he came across as a twelve year old boy who has to do what mummy tells him lest he get yelled at This was just a real mood killer for me and I found it a struggle to get through the book as I just really didn t like these characters at all Too much whine for me I think Janette has been through a lot and she has an interesting backstory but I felt like it all took a backseat to her fluffy Goddess of a cat which is called this or some variation of this literally everytime said cat is mentioned Don t get me wrong I love cats and understand how demanding and temperamental they can be but I feel like it was trying too hard to be a quirk that made Janette endearing to the reader when all it did for me is make me want to throttle her and tell her to grow up a bit She had an interesting relationship with another character that was touted as a frenemies kinda thing which is cool but once again it was laid on a bit heavy handed and was trying too hard to be a quirk in the story and the characters that it just became annoying Also the mention and obsession over orange chicken became quite irritating I believe this was also meant to be a quirk it just didn t work out that way for me Bradley the ex employer man I wish he had have turned out how I envisioned in my head when I read this synopsis Instead he was a simpering man child who was so far under mummy s finger that I m surprised he could function I was expecting major dangerous rich and powerful alpha hole male and I got a baby who possibly still needs his diaper changed Sorry I m just not a fan of any of these characters at all The parents pandered to their adult children the adult children were whiney and my favourite character was the cat The story had some fantastic ideas and for the most part were executed fine though I felt like the engagement contract was just random and out of the blue and just didn t seem to flow with the story at all There was no questioning it or anything from the characters and it just seemed so out of place in the story It was explained as to why it was happening but honestly a lot of it went over my head There was so much technical and legal jargon in the story that I feel like I zoned out when imperative stuff was being explained because it was just prattling on and became quite boring Also nothing really happens in this book It s almost a set up for the rest of the series I was expecting at least a little action to happen but honestly the whole book is pretty much Bradley finding out Janette is alive and functioning her parents finding out the same her co workers finding out who she really is and them all setting up this investigator cell so that they can hunt some killers Nothing happenedI was so confused when I finished it I almost felt like where is the rest of the book All in all this book had a lot of promise but it just fell a bit short for me If you re after characters with a bit of sass and lots of issues and a light easy read Give it a go For me I think I m going to have to bow out from this author I m in the minority on my feelings about her work which I m glad for I just wish I was able to enjoy it as much as her fans do Fantasy Fiction A setup book that goes nowhereI like this author and when I read the premise of this book it seemed great However I am a bit disappointed While the main character is fleshed out and her best frenemy is as well Many of the others are weak and two dimensional The male interest appears strong upon first glance but then becomes a weak whiney mommy s boy who does nothing to romance the lead We go from library to we need to set up a investigative group to you need months of surgery all in the span of chapters Then instead of actual plot progression the book stalls until 75% through Where we have a tiny bit of progress on the main plot before the book just ends With absolutely nothing resolved or actually done So we have a romance with no romance a investigative mystery with no investigation and only one actually interesting 3D character Me thinks the author just phoned this one in Fantasy Fiction Let me begin by saying that I like this author She is very imaginative She finds interesting ways to kill off characters and is not afraid to waste whole cities in her stories Since this is the first book in the series there is a lot of background Our main character spends most of the 432 pages overcoming disabilities left over from an accident We don t get to learn much about the side characters but we do learn that great riches are very powerful tools Good book and I have hope the next in the series will move the story along towards theillers Fantasy Fiction 2020 The Year of the brief Review and. Booked for murder by r.j. blain Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak I was really looking forward to this book it has all the elements I enjoy in a book great characters a cat interesting story line a cat really new take on magical powers with a bit of a mystery a cat humor a cat So all in all the perfect book. Booked for murders Despite all this I think I am going to give the next one a go maybe we can move on with the story Fantasy Fiction 5 star read Highly recommend The cover with cat books funky glasses and the hint of magic pulled me in first Then the series title Vigilante Magical Librarians Finally the blurb as I suspected that the heroine and hero had different definitions and expectations of a for life contract Knowing it was a new series by Blain I rushed home after work and started reading expecting suspense magic some humor some puns maybe a romance And the book delivered than I hoped for. Booked for murderville season If you ve never read an RJ Blain story this is a good starting point as it s a new series with a new world that has different magic and society rules than the Magical Rom Com and the Royal States series If you re a fan of Blain stories this one doesn t disappoint Loved the spunk and independence of the heroine the sneaky attachment of the hero all the positive friend and family relationships And the cat of course This is the book that sets up the chessboard and some of the players for the series so questions will be asked but not answered here But the characters are a delight so don t wait until the next book is released read this one now I wish I didn t have to be up before dawn tomorrow or I d start re reading tonight cross posted goodreads book bub Fantasy Fiction You re a strange woman Janette You know what happens when women get a hold of books We get ideas and younow there s nothing dangerous than a woman with ideas So I m straddling the middle line here Pros 1 I love the magic system The heroine is a exsanguinator she can control blood which is actually an awesome power. Booked for murderpedia angela 2 I NEED MORE ROMANCE 3 The meandering Talking too much about meaningless stuffs that I kept losing my focus 4 The whole conspiracy of the murdered people Which actually involved a lot of political stuffs Which again I don t really like in a murder mystery. Booked for murderofbirds In the end there is a huge possibility in this book and I hope the next one coming will fill up all those gaps It s good enough for me as it is Fantasy Fiction I ve got mixed feelings on this one I really like the cover it s eye catching As for the story not a whole lot happens and I m a bit confused on the world and the society and its structure as for the mystery that isn t even solved it s going to continue into the next book and maybe a book after that I m not sure how the authors going to do it I read the whole thing and I enjoyed the banter and the long running commentary but I was quite confused on the Society structure and the relationship she has with her ex boss maybe fianc I don tnow Mixed feelings. Booked for murders mysteries Rated 3 Stars Fantasy Fiction I have never read a book like this so I m not really sure how to review it I m not even sure I liked it I m just really confused okay The book takes place over just a few days and it s happening in real time Oh that scene took you an hour to read That s because the characters were talking for an hour Every word Every look Every thought of the MC It s all on the page Interesting conversations to be sure but dear god make something happen already I d swear at least 75% of this book is just a couple scenes of the characters talking in the MC s apartment This book at 430 some odd pages reads like a prequel novella in introducing the conflict This was the set up Every single moment of the set up. Booked for murderofbirds But it s interesting Certainly on the nose a few times with American current events and lacking any real action but this insanely long winded way of telling the story also has its charm somehow Eventually I realized I should just view it as the longest prequel story ever and there would not be any sort of satisfactory ending It was easier to enjoy after that. Booked for murdernurse twitter So I liked it but it was also not what I expected and a unique way of storytelling is not always a better way I ll read the rest of the series but I dunno if I d recommend it yet Fantasy extra shot if its after the amazing magical feat the h H magic talent grows develops new talent the h H is living modestly and the SO is wealthy and connected and said wealth and connections solves all of h H s problems in life there are sports cars the phrase you re that s mean the phrase you re that s evil the phrase you re that s cruel the phrase Fiction.
