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...

Product Review: Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor

Product Review Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor - Influenster 2
I received the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor from Influenster.com and Schick Intuition for free in exchange for my honest opinion. When I learned I was receiving this product, I was excited to test it out and couldn't wait for it to come.

The product arrived at my house on Saturday afternoon, but I had just shaved the night before, so I had to wait a couple days before I could test out the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor. When I finally was able to test it out, I didn't read the instructions, so I lathered up my right leg with soap and water and began shaving. 
 
At first, I was a little apprehensive because I tend to nick myself while trying out new razors, but surprisingly, I didn't nick myself. When I realized I didn't need to lather up with soap or shaving cream, I tried the razor out on my left leg and was surprised to see all the lather coming from the razor. It was a pleasant surprise. The only complaint I have about this razor when it comes to shaving my legs is that it didn't provide a close enough shave and left my legs feeling a little stubbly.
Product Review Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor - Influenster 4

Next, I used it to shave my underarms. I did make sure to wash off my deodorant before using the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor, and it did extremely well. Normally, I'm left with razor burn or bumps in my underarms but that wasn't the case with this Schick Intuition Razor. My armpits were as smooth as a baby's bottom. Unlike my legs, my underarms got a close shave and were not stubbly.

The final area I used the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor was my bikini area. My skin in this area is very sensitive, and I'm usually left with razor burn and/or unsightly bumps. With this Schick Intuition Razor, my skin was left smooth with no bumps. I was completely surprised by this in a very good way. 

Pros: No need for shaving cream or soap. No bumps in my bikini area. No nicks on my legs, underarms, or bikini area.

Cons: The razor is a bit cumbersome. Left my legs feeling a little stubbly.

Final Thoughts: Perfect for the more sensitive areas like my underarms and bikini areas but doesn't provide a close enough shave for my legs. With that being said, I'd definitely buy the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor to shave my bikini area and underarms. Four out of five stars.

Book Review: The Dare by Natasha Preston

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 ...

Book Review: The Writer by James Patterson and J.D. Barker

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

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 ...
