This book is even funnier than the last; I don't know how she does it! Reading this was like watching a sitcom. Every quirky character, all the sharp wit and of course the glue that holds it all together, the charming and adorably dimpled Nick.

I have liked many Lucy Score books, however this book was my least favorite that I have ever read! It felt somewhat pointless, and the story felt like it was dragging! I kept finding myself wanting more about Jasmine, and Weber and far less about Sesame and Tommy. I didn't find their characters interesting or relatable. I also really didn't enjoy the treatment that Riley got from Nick and how she just accepted it because he was throwing himself into Beth's missing person case. I get it to an extent, but it seems unfair and disrespectful to an extent, and she allowed the treatment to be given to her and she deserved more.
I am excited for the next book more so I think, and I've been told the next book is worth dragging yourself through this one, so I will be continuing for sure!

3.5-4 stars!
This is a cozy mystery and it was crazy funny! Such a cast of quirky characters and over the top shenanigans!! I will definitely need to dive into the 4th book, as this ended on a “to be continued….” :)

I also need to catch up and read the first two books in the series to learn more about how Riley & Nick met, etc.! I was worried about keeping track of all the characters, but the writing flowed so well, and it was easy to follow! I loved Nick & Riley together and separately! So many funny scenes! Nick’s surprise party! Hilarious! First book by this author, and I will definitely be jumping into more!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for an advanced copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review!

Another fantastic installment! This book was a quick read for me, and I loved every moment of it. Nick and Riley continue to be such a fantastic duo, and I’m still completely invested in their journey. Weber has quickly become one of my favorite side characters—his charm and humor are just irresistible. And Wander and Gabe? Absolutely adorable, as always!

While I enjoyed the book overall, I will say that the plot didn’t quite hit the same high notes as the previous installments. Specifically, I found Sesame/Beth to be a bit insufferable, and honestly, I had a hard time caring about her storyline at all. Despite that, I still loved this book just as much as the first two, and I’m already eager to dive into the fourth one to see where the gang’s adventures take them next!

This is book 3 in the Riley Thorn series. I like this series but I think that books 1 and 2 were a little better than this one.Riley Thorn and her hot, tattooed, private investigator boyfriend are all moved into their new fixer upper. Not only do they finally have their own place, they also haven’t found any new dead bodies on the premises.
Yep. It looks like summer is over and so is Riley’s bad luck. Or is it?
While Nick gives up sleeping and showering to obsess over the cold case that still haunts him, his business partner Mrs. Penny is calling the investigative shots. It’s every bit as bad as you can imagine.
Meanwhile, Riley has her hands full fixing up the crumbling crime scene they call home and setting boundaries with the breaking-and-entering octogenarians next door. You know. Normal stuff.
But normal comes to a screeching halt when our favorite psychic is abducted by a stranger with candy, and her powers go on the fritz. To make matters worse, it becomes clear that Riley’s new house guests are definitely either in trouble or are trouble after bad guys deliver a warning with a severed finger.
Can Nick and Riley solve the case the old-fashioned way before they all end up in pieces? Or will a surprise birthday party, a dog doody bandit, an accidental arson, and a blast from the past be too much for them to handle?

This series is an absolute blast! This latest installment gives us another wild ride with Nick and Riley, packed with laughs, quirky characters, and just the right amount of mystery and supernatural surprises. Lucy nails it again, bringing us back into Nick and Riley's world with a perfect blend of humor, mystery, and a touch of ghostly fun.

The story keeps up the hunt for answers about Nick’s missing ex-partner, Kellan—a storyline that started in the first book. Even six years later, Nick can’t shake the guilt of not being able to find her, and it’s clearly weighing on him. But no matter how serious things get, the humor shines through, especially with Nick and Riley’s friends, family, and neighbors popping in to add a whole new level of chaos and hilarity. Honestly, the supporting cast steals the show, making each page even more entertaining.

This book will keep you guessing, laughing, and holding your breath as twists come out of nowhere. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, the author throws in a curveball that keeps things exciting. Can’t wait to see what Riley and Nick get up to next!

This was my first Lucy Score read and it was enjoyable. I had not read the other stories in this series and I didn't feel that it was required. I'm sure it would have heightened my experience, but I was still able to read this as a standalone just fine. These MC's haven't been my favorite of stories that I have read recently; I felt they both had equally likable and unlikable pieces. Overall, this was a good balance of rom-com and mystery.

The Blast from the Past is a brilliantly nostalgic and heartfelt journey that captures the magic of reconnecting with old memories and people. The story is filled with warmth, humor, and just the right amount of drama, making it easy to get lost in. The characters feel real and relatable, pulling you into a narrative that’s both touching and full of surprises. For anyone who enjoys a story about second chances and the power of revisiting the past, The Blast from the Past is a truly rewarding read.

I am a Lucy score STAN! I love all of her books that I read. This book has such fun characters. I really enjoy the group of elderly people, I loved how nosy they were and could always count on them for a good laugh. Nicks character has so much development throughout the series & I love seeing his and Riley’s relationship. I love love love the mystery components in this series. My one complaint is the audacity griffin had in this book. Overall, 4/5 stars, I would love to see a book focusing on Jasmine and Weber.

Lucy Score is a relatively new to me author but she has quickly moved onto my auto-buy list. Her writing style is so engaging and her characters are always so funny and lovable. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

This was a perfect amount of angst and romance and found family 😭

-- ty to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an advanced copy!

Thank you for this ARC. Unfortunately, I lost interest in the series in book 2 so I will not be reading this one at this time. I really appreciate you gifting me this ARC. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

Not my favorite of the series so far, but it did answer some questions. The fun thing about this series is that it's unpredictable. You want to approach it like a regular mystery but that doesn't work. There's that psychic element and all the cooky characters that throw the investigation into disarray. And the romance piece that pops up and makes you smile. There's always some crazy connections happening as the case is wrapping up that I never saw coming. I love these for a light, fun, unpredictable adventure. Also, someone needs to put a monitor on Mrs. Penny. That woman is a menace to society.

Lucy Score can do no wrong with this series. She is fun and keeps the drama and mystery coming. Blast from the Past is no exception and the twist will have your jaw on the floor.

First of all, I love all things Lucy Score. Second, Riley Thorn is the best character Lucy Score has ever created. From Her P.I. boyfriend to the crazy ensemble of characters living in her building, I love it all. There's not a single book in this series I haven't laughed out loud about. I'd recommend it to anyone.

This book made me so mad. The way Nick suddenly changed who he was because he was so obsessed with finding Beth - and the way he like tosses Riley aside and continues to be an ass to her once Sesame (formerly Beth) shows up. I WAS FUMING. Like, the feelings it gave me were so strong I almost DNF’d it.

But I’m me and can’t ever DNF a book, so I held out and he’s slightly forgiven.

In books one and two, it’s brought up how Nick’s previous partner, Kellan’s, sister disappeared after a case they worked on together and the disappearance really took a toll on their friendship. And after a vision that was had at the end of book 2, where it’s said that she’s not dead, Nick cancels life basically to put on a search for Beth.

Like all the other Riley Thorn books, the side characters are literally everything. I don’t think they’d be the same without them because they’re just so spot on.

This book was by far my favorite of the series so far !! It was funny, mysterious, had a great level of spice and romance and kept me on my toes!! I can’t wait to read the next book but at the same time am sad for this story to come to an end.

Absolutely loved this book! This is book 3 of the Riley Thorn series, and I feel like each book has gotten even more fantastic. Riley is quirky and fun, and rhe chaos that ensues is pure brilliance. Lucy Score is a true writing goddess - I highly recommend this one to anyone, whether they be a fan or not! Can't wait to read book 4.

I never have much to say about the books in a series. If I'm still reading them I love them, and this is no exception!
It's such a good and fun series! I'm excited to get to the next one!

Another fun, fast paced, laugh out loud rom-com/mystery from Lucy score! This one tied up some loose ends in a satisfying way.. while still leaving you wanting more!
