This is the fifth book in the Beauty Secrets Mystery series. I have read them all. I think this is the best one so far.What a honeymoon! Ziva is sure she witnessed a murder but there is no body.I love these characters. This plot is very convoluted. I got nothing else accomplished until lI finished the book! Highly entertaining!
Beauty Secrets Mystery series is Fun and Entertaining. Author Stephanie Damore and main character Ziva Diaz do ‘girlie’ fabulously. Beauty and Bloodshed, book 5, has Ziva on her honeymoon. In this storyline she goes from finding dead bodies to witnessing murder. Her biggest problem, being believed. SD builds a great story. Using a revolving cast of beloved characters. With humor, romance, action, clever twist and turns. Unpredictability. Pages turn quickly. Each book can be a standalone BUT reading as a series adds to the reader’s enjoyment. I received this book as an ARC. I am voluntarily posting this review. A Must Read !!!
I am not a fan of the paranormal, but I read this book because I wanted to read the complete series. It is well written, but I would only recommend to those who like this type.
Bloodshed Solved by Beauty
(Disclaimer: I was provided a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.) Beauty & Bloodshed is a cozy mystery that solves the crime with a dash of paranormal. The main character Ziva is on her honeymoon when she finds herself in the middle of trying to solve for a murder. She and her husband, Finn remind me of a piano symphony that is so in tune with one another that it gives the antics and twists and turns that much more dimension. Overall, the storyline is very strong with multiple layers of stories moving around each other, complimenting one another to make the overall book deep and rich like a sumptuous latte. Ziva is a strong, self-confident, lively, witty and funny character that drives you to keep turning the page to see what’s next. I applaud the author for writing a truly enjoyable cozy with strong characters and a not so go quietly ghost. I RECOMMEND READING: Beauty & Bloodshed: A romantic, cozy mystery: Beauty Secrets Mystery Book 5. –Tex.
Great book! This time with a twist of paranormal that fit right in. What would a honeymoon be like for Ziva, the girl boss, if it didn’t involve dead bodies and a bit of investigation? You’re going to love this one!
The Best Beauty Secrets Mystery Yet!
I have read all of this series and this is the best one yet! The plot is excellent! The final conclusion had never occurred to me, and that is unusual. I loved the Puerto Rican backdrop. There was a little less witty banter, but enough to enjoy. There is a paranormal element in this book. It creeped me out, but I am weird that way. I am already excited for the next episode.
This series just keeps getting better and better! The characters are witty and entertaining and are just plain likable! The character development is so great, you can pick up this book as a standalone, or better yet, read them all (it does make more sense, but totally not necessary). Ziva’s newest adventure happens while she is on her honeymoon, and the ending is pure surprise! Just the way a mystery should be. Just when you think you’ve got it solved, bammm! there is a curveball thrown in! This is a quick, easy read, only because you just don’t want to put it down once you start it! The perfect mystery book for any mystery lover!
