Death by Diamonds Review

 Death by Diamonds 

(Vintage Magic #3)

By: Annette Blair

Published:July 6, 2010

Madeira Cutler loves her Vintage Magic boutique, but the 'visions' she gets from the garments can be hard to handle, especially when she knows the owner. At first she's thrilled to receive a package containing the beautifully bejeweled dress she designed for actress and old friend Dominique Delong while in fashion school. But the dress comes with a disturbing message from Dominique, who it seems took her last bow under very mysterious circumstances.

My thoughts:
I loved this book, it was my favorite of the series so far. It had you going from the first page and it also helped that their was some testosterone battles between Nick and Werner, which was amusing and sweet. Mad, of course was playing Nancy Drew as usual and she did so well and managed not to get hurt in the process. Again the characters are awesome as was the storyline. I also loved that Mad's ability was used more in this book than the others and the fact that she is learning how to hone it.

Larceny & Lace Review

 Larceny and Lace

By: Annette Blair

Published:August 4,2009

Goodreads Synopsis:
Madeira Cutler is busy opening her new vintage clothing store in what was once the town's morgue when she discovers an intruder snooping around a bunch of bones in a body drawer. Now, she'll have to dig up more than the past to solve a crime.













My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this book just as much as the first book in the series, A Veiled deception. I loved the relationship between Mad and Werner, and kinda rooting for him now even though I still like nick. The struggle within Mad to embrace her mothers belief is intriguing because it comes so naturally but she is still unsure. The relationship shift between Harry and Fiona was also charming to read about. The characters just keep growing and you keep learning more about them. A few new characters were introduced in a crazy conspiracy that kept me reading the whole time. Annette Blair is an awesome writer and I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.

A Veiled Deception Review

 A Veiled Deception

(Vintage Magic #1)

By:Annette Blair

Published:January 29,2009 

Goodreads Synopsis:
 The right dress can be magic; the wrong one murder

From the national bestselling author of Sensation’s Witch series comes the new Vintage Magic Mystery series, featuring Madeira Cutler. While opening her own vintage clothing shop, Maddie must clear her family’s name when her sister’s wedding festivities hit a snag: murder.








My thoughts:
I loved Madeira and her name. I love that clothes "speak" to her and her passion for vintage clothes as well as her other "gift". I also love her unyielding love for her family and her inability to not be heroic. It also helped to have a hot male named Nick Jaconetti to put a little sizzle in the mix. I like the story it was original and interesting. I loved all the different lives being intertwined and how it all got resolved in the end, cuz I'm a sucker for a happy ending.I can't wait to read the other books in the series to find out more about the characters.

Nick Janconetti

Italian

Wide-shouldered

Classically Handsome

Like a Roman sculpture come to life 

Nick- "You like how I smell?"

 Madeira-"You know I love Ultraviolet Man, you interfering beast."

Nick-"I do,you impetuous beauty."

{The seat belt sign went on as the flight crew prepared for landing.}Madeira-"Wow, that was fast."

{Tickling her her as he whispered.}Nick-"Don't ever say that to me in bed."

{Hardly likely, he knew how to take his time.}Madeira-"There will be no more of that, mister, if you keep calling me nuts.

Nick-"I didn't, you did."

Madeira-"You didn't deny it."

{He nibbled her ear}Nick-"There will be more, and you'll love it."

 

I chose this actor/model because he is smokin' and again absolutely love his eyes, plus he fit my vision of a roman sculpture come to life!

Masque of the Red Death

By: Bethany Griffin

Everything is in ruins.

A devastating plague has decimated the population. And those who are left live in fear of catching it as the city crumbles to pieces around them.

So what does Araby Worth have to live for?

Nights in the Debauchery Club, beautiful dresses, glittery make-up . . . and tantalizing ways to forget it all.

But in the depths of the club—in the depths of her own despair—Araby will find more than oblivion. She will find Will, the terribly handsome proprietor of the club. And Elliott, the wickedly smart aristocrat. Neither boy is what he seems. Both have secrets. Everyone does.

I can't wait for this book because it sounds like it will be very interesting and I love the beautifully dark cover as well.
