Gone Haunting in Deadwood by Ann Charles Book 9 of the Deadwood Mysteries

This has been the best of the Deadwood Mysteries that I've read yet.  Violet Parker really becomes the "Scharfrichter" in this book and takes her crew to Slagtown to take on the Hunter and is scouts, to try to become the Queen of Slagtown.  Violet starts getting comfortable with her new powers, well comfortable might be generous but she finds she can draw from her power easier than before.  This book has a lot going for it and has more action than any of the other books in this series.  Okay, maybe action as in fighting, not action as in time spent with Doc, her boyfriend, but there is that action too.

I give this a solid 8 of 10.

A Wild Fright in Deadwood by Ann Charles, Book 7 in the Deadwood Mysteries Series

I like these no-brainer mystery/horror (very light on the horror) books by Ann Charles.  After reading the first two Dune books this was a welcomed vacation from books that require extra brain powerlifting.  I think this is the best in the Deadwood Mysteries series that I have read to date. This is another Violet Parker book, full-time real estate salesperson and part-time Scharfrichter, or executioner of the dead.  I don't really think on a literary sense that it is a 4 star but this series pretty good.  It sort of goes against my judgment but I really liked the book. It's fairly predictable with the romance and spookiness but Ann Charles does come up with some good twists that make this book enjoyable. I think Ill binge read what I have in this series.  I have too many aches and pains to read anything serious right now. A Wild Fright in Deadwood by Ann CharlesBook 7 in the Deadwood Mysteries Series

Cold Flame by Ann Charles, Deadwood Series Book 6.5, Deadwood Shorts Book 3

This is a short novella about Violet Parker's Aunt Zoe and the man that chases her Aunt, Reid Martin, and their past.  Cold Flames goes over their meeting, their relationship, some imps, and fires.  Building fires and fires of the heart.  I usually don't get into romantic novels but I started the Deadwood series before it got hot and heavy (but most other people would call mild) and the paranormal aspect of the series is fun.  I haven't read any of the series for a couple of years and thought it would be nice to catch up.
