Book Review: Murder at Cape Costumers (Cozy Capers Book Group Mystery, #7) by Maddie Day

Thank you to NetGalley, Kensington Publishing, and Kensington Cozies for providing me with an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Murder at Cape Costumers (Cozy Capers Book Group Mystery, #7)  by Maddie Day  for free in exchange for my honest review. As a fan of the author Maddie Day, I was thoroughly excited to read this cozy mystery, but unfortunately, I didn't connect to this series. This latest installment of Maddie Day's Cozy Capers Book Group Mystery  opens with the town of Westham, Massachusetts being happy that a new costume shop and alterations store has opened in their town just before Halloween.  However, when one of the owners of the shop finds her elderly boyfriend murdered in the shop, the entire town becomes suspicious of her, the co-owner, and everyone else. To top things off, Mac's sister in law has gone missing, and she along with her husband are having to care for two young children. Mac knows she has to help solve both of these mysteries with the help ...

Product Review: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs

Earlier this summer, I stumbled across a website called Influenster.com. Curious, I checked out what they are about. Influenster.com offers its members products to try for free. The only catch is members have to review the product or products they receive. This sounded like a great opportunity, and I signed up. This past Saturday, I received my first product to test.

After reading the last few words of the novel, I set it face down on the bed beside me and asked, "Did that really just end like that?" Never in my life has a book made me as angry as Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl . So much so that after finishing it, I had to sit there for a minute thinking about what I had just read before picking it back up off the bed and throwing across the room. Of course, after throwing it across the room, I jumped off the bed to pick it up the floor . . . worried that I had damaged the book. Yes, I know you're probably thinking I'm neurotic, but I like to keep the books I buy looking nice. Gone Girl  as a whole didn't make me angry . . . just the ending. I hated the fact that Nick decided to stay with Amy after all she put him through but understand his need to protect. For this reason alone, this made Nick a strong character in my mind because he was willing to go to extremes to protect the ones he loved. On the other h...
