Greetings Friends!
Today I have a review of the cozy mystery In the Stars by Zanna Mackenzie. This is the first book in the Amber Reed mystery series.
I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest and thoughtful review.
RATING:
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Release Date: December 2014
SYNOPSIS:
Amber Reed is a newspaper admin assistant tasked with making up the horoscopes. Her imaginary predictions seem as close as she’ll ever get to excitement. Until a desperate phone call plunges her into the middle of a celebrity murder investigation.
Battling to convince the scarily handsome special agent assigned to solve the case that she can help him catch the killer, Amber’s fighting something far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined – and it has nothing to do with the equally scary chemistry fizzing between her and special agent Charlie Huxton!
Has Amber’s wish for more excitement in her life landed her in big trouble – or is her fate written in the stars?

In the Stars is the first book in the fun, romantic Amber Reed mystery series.

REVIEW:
This was a cute and fun cozy mystery that featured a pretty solid mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. I really enjoyed all the action and adventure our main character, Amber, gets into, considering she typically finds herself writing the local newspaper’s horoscopes. She is however a kind of quirky, mixed bag character that I’m sure many people will really like, while others like me can find her slightly annoying. I also didn’t quite buy into the insta-love between Amber and Charlie, the special agent hired to investigate the death. Fortunately, he was a much more grounded and relatable character, and together, their chemistry, brought a lot of levity and lightheartedness to an otherwise stressful situation. Their shenanigans while on the case allow them to get to know each other better, which helps to develop into a more dynamic and believable relationship that will definitely be interesting to read about as the series continues should they decide to commit to each other.
Overall, this was a very fast-paced and entertaining read that sets a great start for a promising series that I would like to continue. I wasn’t a fan of how abruptly the story seemed to conclude nor the cliffhanger ending, but that’s much more a personal issue rather than a negative reflection of the book. Definitely recommended for those that enjoy romantic comedies!
