Lucky Rabbit’s Foot (The Fawn Malero Mysteries Book 4) by Courtney Davis
Publisher: DX Varos Publishing (October 3, 2023)
Category: Supernatural, Paranormal, Mystery, Vampires
Tour Dates August 28-Sept 29, 2023
ISBN: 978-1955065894
Available in Print and ebook, 265 pages
These were only the beginning of Fawn Malero’s problems, but they coincided with a vampire wedding-of-the-century coming to town and that made them a top priority. And as Logan began to take on more duties as pack Alpha, her loyalties were being tested by everyone. Could she run part of the city and part of the pack?
Then the burglaries started… of human homes, threatening exposure!
Being pulled in so many directions, Fawn feared she was failing her father and the supernaturals of Seattle leaving them open for challengers to their authority. Will Fawn’s ability to enlist the help of other supernaturals be enough? Or will they finally see that she doesn’t have what it takes to keep Seattle safe and its supernaturals hidden?
Guest Review by BookGirl
I ate every bite of this book up like a delicious dessert! From page one of ‘Lucky Rabbit’s Foot (The Fawn Malero Mysteries Book 4)’ by Courtney Davis, I knew that it would be right up my alley. This novel has everything, romance, mystery and a supernatural detective who is trying her best to keep it all together—all with wit and heart that make it a rewarding read.
Fawn Malero is such a great main character, I found myself sympathizing with her right away, while also wondering how on earth she got herself into this crazy situation!
At the start of this book, Fawn is already in a pickle with the mysterious case of the rabbits that are attacking the city. Well, okay, “attacking” is a strong word. The rabbits are not actually doing anything, besides inadvertently causing the odd car accident. But there are thousands of them, and no one has any idea where they are coming from.
The city of Seattle was not prepared for this invasion of cute rodents, and they are even less prepared for the rash of unexplained weather that seems to be hitting the city. From heat waves to blizzards all happening in the span of a few short hours, it’s almost as if the city itself is going haywire to avoid the upcoming nuptials between two of the vampire world’s most prominent members.
At the center of all of this is Fawn Malero, private investigator for the supernatural community who is desperate to solve the city’s problems before the wedding takes place. Fawn must figure out who is behind the attacks on the city, and thus prove herself to her father, before things spiral even further out of control.
There are few things that I love more than a supernatural mystery, and this story definitely fit the bill! 5 out of 5 Stars!
Courtney Davis is a mother, wife and teacher who has always loved to find time to escape into a good story. She’s been in love with reading and writing since she was a child and dreams of a life where she can devote herself fully to creating worlds and exploring relationships. To give someone else enjoyment through her words is the ultimate thrill.

On the Rails: The Adventures of Boxcar Bertie by Rosemary and Larry Mild
Publisher: Magic Island Literary Works (July 1, 2023)
Category: Historical Fiction
Tour Dates August 21-Sept 22, 2023
ISBN: 978-099054724
Available in Print and ebook, 230 pages
What’s a woman to do? Bertie Patchet has just graduated from college in New Haven, Connecticut, to become a grammar school teacher. But the year is 1936, and the country is deep in the throes of The Great Depression. Securing employment is nearly impossible for everyone, let alone a single inexperienced female. Going home is an ugly option to be avoided. Bertie absolutely must get away, but travel without an income? Forget it!
Bertie dresses like a man and turns to hopping railway boxcars to make her escape to better opportunities. A female hobo? Unheard of! It’s a man’s world, so how can she maneuver in this male atmosphere fraught with risk, danger, and loss? Will she ever find a teaching job? And will she dare to find romance in the bargain?
A charming new novel with an unforgettable protagonist, a setting to die for, and a mesmerizing plotline, On the Rails is on track to become another beloved tale by dynamic husband-and-wife duo Rosemary and Larry Mild.
Bertie Patchet has graduated college with her teaching certificate. It is 1936 so, not only will she not know if she will have a teaching job until right before the school season starts, in a few months but it is during the Great Depression.
She decides to go back home to her mother and step father, even though things have been bad in the past. Her mother is an acholic and her step father has abused Bertie at night. Perhaps things will be better.
Her first night back home and her step father enters her room. At least, this time she is prepared to strike back and prevents him from getting his way. However, now she knows, she can’t stay there. She had heard stories of men riding the rails to look for work. So, she decides to give it a try. However, she must first disguise herself as a boy.
Bertie has many adventures and meets some very interesting and sometimes, quirky and even dangerous characters. She is certainly a woman ahead of her time and she learns to protect and take care of herself.
I could tell while reading that the authors put in a lot of time into researching the period. They really bring the Great Depression to life. Bertie is a strong female character. I loved her spunk, wit, and determination! The other characters were well thought out as well. Larry and Rosemary are excellent writers and breath life into this historical fiction! I felt like I was there, with Bertie. This would be excellent source material for a feature length film, I really think someone should buy the rights!! It could even follow Bertie on her adventures as a mini series.
This is my favorite book of 2023! I cannot recommend it enough! I give it all 5 stars.
I received the eBook version for my opinion.
Rosemary and Larry Mild coauthored the Dan & Rivka Sherman Mysteries; the Paco and the Molly Mysteries; Hawaii adventure/thrillers Cry Ohana and Honolulu Heat; and four volumes of short stories, including their new one, Charlie and the Magic Jug and Other Stories. Many of their stories appear in anthologies. The Milds, a happy husband-and-wife team, make their home in Honolulu, where they cherish time with their daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren.
