An Editorial Review of “Double or Nothing” by Meg Mims
The mystery is set during the rough and tumble California mining days of 1869.

An Editorial Review of “Mistress by Magick” by Laura Navarre
"Mistress by Magick" captivated me from the beginning with its intriguing story line, along with Navarre’s lush writing style that makes every scene come vividly alive.
