Death of a Tom Turkey (Hayley Powell Food and Cocktails Mystery, #18) by Lee Hollis opens with Tom Farley and his neighbors in a snit because he's the last holdout to sell his house to a property developer who wants to build a resort. When Tom is shot at a pre-Thanksgiving community gathering and hospitalized, Hayley Powell puts her amateur sleuthing skills to good use. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishers for providing me with an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of this cozy mystery. I received a copy of this book for free in exchange of my honest opinion and review of the story. I loved the fact that this latest installment of the Hayley Powell Food and Cocktails Mystery series had a theme around the Thanksgiving holiday and included live turkeys in the plot. It was good to visit some familiar characters. Since this is the eighteenth installment in the series, Lee Hollis didn't go into much detail of the background of those reoccurring characters; however, she...

Influenster.com sent me a VoxBox that had a full size bottle of Head and Shoulders Citrus Fresh 2 in 1 Pyrithione Zinc Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner. It is supposed to promote an "Invigorated Scalp and Shiny Hair" and is infused with yuzu and mint essence. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review of the product.
Who doesn't enjoy getting something for free to try out? I definitely enjoy and appreciate being able to test out free products. There were a few things I enjoyed about this Head and Shoulders Citrus Fresh 2 in 1 Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner.
It definitely made my scalp tingle, but in a good way. I could tell it was doing its job to keep me from having dandruff. Normally, when I use shampoo and conditioner that are combined into one product, it doesn't detangle my hair, but the Head and Shoulders Citrus Fresh 2 in 1 did a great job in conditioning my hair. On top of that, it left my hair looking very shiny and soft to the touch. The product also had a nice smell to it, which reminds me of a drink called a fuzzy navel. I was worried about the shampoo and conditioner combo leaving my hair looking greasy, but my hair was left looking very clean. I was able to get away with washing my hair every other day as well, which was a nice surprise as I have very oily hair near the scalp and dry hair towards the bottom.
The downfalls of this product is that if there is any humidity in the air, it does not help with keeping the frizz out of your hair. It also doesn't help with giving your hair any volume, and since I have very fine hair, I definitely need help in that department. The last thing that I didn't like is that when my hair was still wet or damp, it felt like there was a film or residue in my hair, almost like I didn't wash out all of the product. However, once my hair is dry, it feels completely fine.
All in all, the positives outweighed the negatives by a landslide. I would definitely recommend using this product if you suffer from dandruff. Just make sure to use an additional product if your hair tends to frizz when it is humid outside.
Here is the video to the product reveal of when we received the Head and Shoulders Citrus Fresh 2 in 1 Pyrithione Zinc Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner in the mail.
The Dare by Natasha Preston is a young adult horror novel about Marley and her friends Atlas, Lucia, and Jesse are seniors in high school. The senior pranks are fun and lighthearted until Rhett starts doling out dares that are more serious. Will Marley and her friends survive? A huge thank you to NetGalley for the Advanced Readers Copy of The Dare by Natasha Preston. The last book I read by this author was so well written, I knew I wanted to give her latest story a try. The first thing I noticed about the story is it's reminiscent of R.L. Stine's Fear Street series, which brought back all the feels from my childhood. Pretty quickly, the storyline shifts and is eerily similar to the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer . It's at this point that I became disappointed with the book and almost stopped reading it. Additionally, there were other parts t hat reminded me of The Secret Diaries by Janice Harrell. So, overall, The Dare wasn't ...
The Writer by James Patterson and J.D. Barker was published on March 17, 2025. It opens with Detective Declan Shaw at a closed subway station trying to work up the nerve to commit suicide when he receives a call from his partner about a break in and homicide at the home of a true crime author. Shaw makes his way to the crime scene to work the case, and in a turn of events, Declan comes under scrutiny in another case loosely connected to this new case. I received an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of The Writer from NetGalley and Little , Brown, and Company for free in exchange for my honest review. I'm appreciative that my request for this book was approved. With this story opening with the main character trying to commit suicide, I almost didn't go any further with the book. However, I am glad I stuck with it as it took me on a fantastic ride and had my emotions all over the place. There were so many twists and turns that just when I thought I had it all figured out, there was ...
Book Review: Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich is the latest installment in the Stephanie Plum book series and opens with Joe Morelli asking Stephanie to dog sit his dog Bob while he is out of town testifying at a trial. The typical chaos ensues when Stephanie has to bring Bob along to apprehend all of her FTAs and has her asking herself if she wants to be married. Each book in this series typically follows the same formula and is wrapped up in a neat, tidy bow at the end. It's because of this that I enjoy the series . . . I always know that Stephanie is going to get herself into some sort of trouble and need Ranger or Morelli to help her, and the bad guy is always caught. Sometimes, I just need something familiar and predictable to read. And, I don't mean that in a bad way either because it allows me to escape reality and gives me a few chuckles along the way. It's like the ...
