ARC Review For Optical Delusions in Deadwood by Ann Charles




ARC Review of Optical Delusions in Deadwood by Ann Charles

An exciting trip back to Deadwood to visit with Violet-real-estate extraordinaire/part-time sleuth. This time with ghostly encounters in the mix. I liked how the story started just a short time after the first book ends. A rollicking romp through the streets of Deadwood sprinkled with sexual innuendo from Harvey,Violet's cantankerous friend to the steamy romance scenes between Doc & Violet. It all mixes together like lemons and sugar to make an inventive lemonade. I absolutely love Violet's eccentric kids. They remind me of some of the shenanigans of my children:)
The sexual tension between Doc & Violet left me with the desire to shake the two of them and say get with it and get together:)
The ghostly twist whet my appetite, wondering what other experiences are waiting in the wings for Violet and will she finally become a believer?
Another fun read that left me smiling. The ending left me anxiously awaiting book 3.
Bravo, Ann Charles for your wit and humor. Your masterful storytelling makes this a gem to read. I give it 5 fairies.
I recommend this book to readers who like mysteries, romance, with a dash of paranormal.

    Your blog is really cool; we don't have the same exact taste in reading, but that's what so much fun about blog-hopping, to check out other genres :) Is this book a separate book,or a short story or novella following the first one you also reviewed? Seems like it might appeal to me (I like to mix it up if a book out of my comfort zone seems interesting). Please feel free to stop by and check me out if you get a moment. Much good luck, Rae

    Both novellas:) I loved them. The writer Ann Charles is so down to earth. I got her mini book from a coworker.
