Undercover Christmas Escape by Terri Reed

Another great mystery by Terri Reed.  Sera and Duncan find themselves undercover at a Christmas party and Santa and Mrs. Claus.  They are trying to gather information about a drug lord.  Things take a turn when gunmen invade the party and take Sera hostage.  Things go even further south when Sera recognizes one of the gunmen.

This is Sera and Duncan's journey to admit their feeling for each other as well as to solve the mystery.  This isn't an edge of your seat mystery.  But still an good mystery.

The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theater by Jamie Jo Wright

This story goes back and forth between 1915 and decades later.  In 1915 Greta is trying to keep her family out of the poor house.  Her oldest brother fell to his death while working on the construction of the Barlowe Theater.  Now her next oldest brother has disappeared while in the theater.  Years later Kit's best friend disappears in the same theater.  The stories parallel each other with the strange happenings at the Barlowe Theater.  As the story progresses,  the mystery of the theater gets deeper and deeper.  

I'm not a fan of stories that go back and forth in time.  But this was a good book.

On Moonberry Lake by Holly Varni

Cora's life was a mess.  She inherits her grandmothers old lodge and goes there to see if that will help her life get back on track.  Her main problem is that she has never known what true love is.  Many people seem to remember her.  But she doesn't remember them or her life on there before her mother took her away.   

This was an ok book.  Not one I would reread or go out of my way to recommend to someone as a great book.  I probably won't read another book by this author.
