I adore this series. I can't put my finger on exactly what draws me back to the Southern Ghost Hunter mystery series more than many others series, but I anxiously await each new release. The best part of the series is the character interaction between Verity and just about anyone. Ellis is awesome, Frankie is hilarious, Lily is a darling and Ellis's mother, Victoria Wydell is a vengeful snob's snob, but Verity is starting to learn how to handle her. There is enough wit and humor to balance the tense moments and those that go beyond tense to down right scary. I am not a person who enjoys being afraid but the balance makes it work, and I can hold on the to fact that this series is pretty much cozy paranormal. so while people may be murdered, no one is going to get me, I mean Verity.
I enjoy watching Verity slowly rebuild her life after some pretty drastic changes. She is a strong person and one of solid standards; she just has the ability to communicate with a ghost who can help her see the "other plane". Sometimes, I think she over reacts to Frankie, the gangster ghost, but I suspect that living with him would not be easy.
While the problem that she is hired to fix is serious to the members of the local historical society, I am with Verity in finding the positioning of mannequins dressed as local historical heroes hilarious. A phone call from the dead, an cemetery rendezvous, and a secret that will stir the community more than the death of a member of the society lead Verity, Frankie, and Ellis into a world of evil, misunderstanding, and the forgotten.
I requested and received an advanced readers' copy of Sweet Tea and Spirits. The review represents my honest opinion. I always review books that I love.
Verity Long is back in another fun adventure. Verity with her ghost partner Frankie “the German” and her hunky cop boyfriend Ellis will have to pull out all the stops to find out who killed socialite Julia Harper Youngblood and solve a mystery at the Sugarland Heritage Society domain of Ellis’s mother and Verity’s nemesis. I loved watching Frankie fall in love and Verity and Ellis’ relationship growing closer. This is a clean, fun read that I highly recommend.
Sweet Tea and Spirits featuring one of my favorite characters, the charming Verity Long was absolutely terrific.
Anyone who is familiar with the series knows the struggles Verity has gone through, if anyone deserves to find some happiness it's Verity.
Trying to be taken seriously in her paranormal activities is tough in the deep south. After mistakenly trapping Frankie the German to her property, Verity has the ability to talk to ghosts.
When the head of the Sugarland Historical Society reaches out to Verity, she can only hope to get this over with as soon as she can.
Unfortunately, the ghosts aren't what they seem and before long, Verity finds herself in the middle of another murder.
This series is just pure fun. Verity is colorful, unique and quirky. She is down to earth, I mean, who else but Verity would have a skunk for a pet. Reading this series by Angie Fox is pure delight and I can't wait to read more.
I voluntarily read an ARC of this book provided by Season Publishing and NetGalley.
Sweet Teas And Spirits releases on April 25th.
Always a winner and an automatic purchase for me. Crazy adventures and romance along with go ole southern manners mixed in. Verity seems to always solve her case no matter what it is. This time she actually might get paid for it. I loved this light hearted book.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is a fun book that I just loved! Our favorite ghost hunter, Verity, gets a crackling phone call telling her there had been a murder at the historical society's headquarters - better known as the home for widows and orphans. The only problem is, that once her boyfriend, and local police officer, Ellis, investigates, there's no dead body and no signs of murder.
Verity uses her ghostly gifts, and ghostly pal Frankie's power to investigate. Unfortunately, other than Ellis, the local police aren't interested in her assistance. However, Julia, the society president, sees her there and hires her to look into things for her. Before long Verity stumbles across another dead body, which leads her investigation into a different direction.
This is an entertaining series with lots of humor woven throughout an interesting mystery. Add in a heavy dose of ghostly paranormal and a bit of romance and you've got a perfect beach read. Fans of the genre will love this book and will want to put this one at the top of their TBR.
