~Moonlight Rendezvous
SOUTHERN SASS AND KILLER CRAVINGS provides a fun mystery while also tackling the tough subjects of family estrangement and domestic abuse . . . I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to Peach Cove Island and look forward to returning!
~Cozy Up With Kathy
The author captures the southernisms and Georgia setting realistically and had me hearing, smelling, and thinking I was right there, visiting Peach Cove.
~Cinnamon and Sugar and a little bit of Murder
You have turns and twists, murder, greed and some abuse to keep the pages turning at a fast pace. A great start to a wonderful series.
~Babs Book Bistro
Southern Sass and Killer Cravings is a humorous cozy mystery that is perfect to read on the front porch in a cozy rocking chair with sweet peach tea on a table nearby.
~The Avid Reader
It was a really funny mystery, with a fast pace and twists, humor, a bit of paranormal but also deep themes like domestic violence. If we add the atmosphere of a small southern town and tasty recipes it becomes a truly amazing read.
~LibriAmoriMiei
The writing is conversational and flows at a steady pace. I’m sure I had a smile on my face much of the time and I enjoyed this story very much.
~The Power of Words
This is a peach of a new series with good food and ghostly help.

Full of quirky small town southern charm and mouthwatering recipes, Southern Sass & Killer Cravings is an edgy cozy with a heroine who will draw readers’ sympathy for her struggles and admiration for her will to overcome them.

~Lisa Ks Book Reviews
I found the plot to be intriguing. The characters are well-developed and likable. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
~Socrates’ Book Reviews…
It has all of the things that I look for in a cozy: engaging characters, a charming setting, and a good mystery to solve. It also has a ghost, which is a real plus in my opinion.
~MJB Reviewers
. . . this book was as sweet as a peach! The mystery was blended perfectly with awesome characters and that divine setting that only made it as perfect as a sweet tea.
~Bibliophile Reviews
This was an enjoyable read with great characters, a town that comes together, and a mystery that takes some work to figure out.
~Christa Reads and Writes
The whodunnit side of the plot had a fair share of twists, with her mother’s ghost making an appearance at both convenient and inconvenient times.
~Cassidy’s Bookshelves
Wowza! as a first book in a series this one pulled no punches, this is well worth a read and then a re-read to pick up what you missed the first time around!
~A Wytch’s Book Review Blog
This was a great mystery read that also had a great family dynamic to it . . . I thought the book was fast paced and well written and it kept me guessing till the very end.
~Melina’s Book Blog
Let me start the review by saying that Southern Sass and Killer Cravings is one of the (most) unique cozy mystery that I have ever read . . . an entertaining and promising cozy series debut.
~The Book Decoder
The author has done a great job of introducing some interesting characters and setting the scene for what I hope will be many more books to come.

Life has always been sweet on Georgia’s Peach Cove Island, but a case of murder has Marygene Brown down in the pits . . .
For generations, the women of the Brown family on Peach Cove Island have been known for their Southern sass and sweet homemade desserts at their beloved Peach Diner. Since their mother’s passing two years ago, Marygene has been stuck in Atlanta while her sister Jena Lynn has been running the family business. Now Marygene has left her husband and returned to her hometown, where she can almost feel Mama’s presence.
But all is not peachy back home. Marygene has barely tied on an apron when a diner regular drops dead at the counter. When it turns out the old man’s been poisoned, Jena Lynn is led away in handcuffs and the family eatery is closed. Now, to save her sister and the diner, Marygene must find the real killer. With some startling assistance from her Mama’s spirit, Marygene will be serving up a special order of just desserts . . .
