Amelia “Medusa” Baxter lives by the principle “an eye for an eye” after holding her dad’s hand while he took his last breath when she was fifteen. She vowed to seek revenge on all those who had harmed him.

Her town, run by wannabe tough guys, was in need, and she knew she had to clean up the unsavory. Starting the Valkyrie Motorcycle Club with friends from her old neighborhood, they worked to protect those who couldn’t take care of themselves, all while she continued searching for the men who took her father away.

The DeMarco family took everything from her. And now fifteen years later, she’s ready to finally take them down for good.

Noah Cameron was finally living his passion. After growing up with a silver spoon in his mouth, never having to struggle for anything, he realized having his entire life, including who would marry, planned out with no input from him, he decides it’s time to live life for himself.

He’d always loved working on cars, and now in trade school for his love, he knew it was fate when he saw a help wanted sign, he took a leap, and landed what he thought was a dream job in his new profession. Little did he know he’d be thrown into a world of guns, a sex club…and the red headed siren who makes him want to stand beside her as she seeks her revenge.

Will Medusa finally be able to stand up to the man who changed her life forever?
Can Noah break through the walls and show Medusa it’s not a weakness to lean on someone or to love them?
Can they survive the dangers chasing them?



This book is the first book in the Valkyrie MC series it is also part of the Mayhem Makers MMM collection. This is the first book by Jamie that I have read. I absolutely loved it. I really like like that is a female MC. Medusa has went through something horrible when she was 15 and she vowed to get revenge. Well now 15 years later she is going to get that revenge. Noah is branching out on his home. Yes he comes from money and is a trust fund baby but he isn't stuck up and doesn't think he is better than anyone. He has been disowned by his father for not wanting the same life his father wants for him. He is starting a new life and a mechanic. This decision causes him to meet Medusa. He knows right away there is something drawing them together.  Then he gets a job working for her brother of course he doesn't know they are siblings. What happens next is a wild ride. Noah and Medusa have a fast paced relationship but it works for them. He brings something new to her life. Someone she finally feels like she can let her guard down with and see a different side of her. This book has tons and twists and turns. I feel for Medusa and her siblings. But somewhere along the way of trying to protect her youngest sibling she ultimately creates a bit of a monster. Someone who expects things instead of appreciating what she has. Sheltering her has set her a disadvantage in some ways. Medusa feels like she is being torn in all directions. Can Noah be there for her and help her with all the weight she carries around on her shoulders? Will she let him might be a better question? I love this book so much and can't wait to read more in the series. I look forward to reading more books by Jamie in the future.

Coat of Many Colors: A Maisy Friedman Mystery (Dressed to Kill #1) Release Blitz +Review

 Title: Coat of Many Colors 

Author: Deanndra Hall 

Genre:  Cozy Mystery 

Release Date: January 6, 2025 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

A dangerous killer, a psychic, and the coat that has all the answers …

Maisey and Aaron Friedman (Justice for Maisey) are enjoying married life and their new blended family. But everything changes after the social worker’s simple trip to a consignment shop where she finally purchases a coat she's had her eye on.

Despite Aaron deeming the coat "ugly," Maisey still loves the garment, and she’s sure he’ll love it too when she models it for him. But when she wakes up on the floor with her deputy sheriff husband standing over her, concern in his eyes, Maisey knows something is terribly wrong. The coat’s sad origin reveals an unsolved slaying, and without the victim to help them, the Friedmans begin their attempts to solve the case using the secrets the coat reveals in Maisey’s psychic visions as their only clues.

But as they delve deeper into the mysteries of the coat, the murderer refuses to allow them to uncover the truth. Suddenly, Maisey’s security is in question, leaving Aaron and his crew of hometown heroes to strategize ways of keeping her safe while unearthing the identity of the culprit. The coat comes with answers, but will those answers be the catalyst that puts them all in danger?

The room went black. And then there was a person, their features partially obscured by a hoodie, looming over her and yelling without words, but she could see their lips moving, and they were positively terrifying. Was it a man? A woman? She tried to back up, but she couldn’t. Something was behind her, and the figure came closer. In an instant, there was the flash of something shiny somewhere near the center of her body and she felt the slice of a knife’s blade as it entered her midsection, felt the warmth of blood on her skin, felt herself sinking as the figure bent over her, still yelling, their face even more hidden. There was a flash of light, and she gasped as she opened her eyes.

“Babe! Babe, are you okay? Maisey? Talk to me, baby! Are you all right? Maisey, come on. Talk to me.”

“Whaaa, what happened?”

“You just fell out, honey, flat on your back, like you were in a trance.”

“I don’t know. Somebody … Aaron, somebody stabbed me.”

He peered down at her. “Honey, there’s nobody here but us.”

“No. You don’t understand. Somebody … It was dark, and somebody was coming toward me, and I saw something flash, and I felt it sink into my skin, and there was something warm and wet on my skin, like blood, and I felt weak and tired and …” She stopped. “Did I say anything?”

“You were mumbling something. I think it was ‘no,’ but I’m not sure. Can you sit up?”

She didn’t get a chance to stand before he bent down, scooped her up, and lifted her in his arms. “I’m okay, really. I think I’m okay,” she said as he plopped down on the sofa and held her in his lap.

“Are you sure? We can go to the hospital and have you―”

Something felt funny. What was it? It dawned on her in an instant. “Oh, god.”

Aaron swept her hair back and away from her face, then grasped her chin between his thumb and forefinger. “What? What’s wrong?”

“The coat.”

I hadn't read the original book the couple was in so I went back and read that book before reading this one. You don't need to do that, this is just how I am. Can't miss anything. lol. Maisey and Aaron are a wonderful couple. Maisey has always had feelings when bad things were going to happen. But this book takes it up a notch. Maisey finds a jacket she really likes at a local consignment shop. When she tries it on to show Aaron she blacks out and begins to see how a woman was killed while wearing the jacket. This starts us on a wild journey. Aaron thinks the jacket is ugly to begin with and now it is making Maisey pass out and have visions. While he understands that Maisey needs to get to the bottom of things he isn't crazy about what she has to go through to get to the bottom of things. They have been through a lot already and he doesn't want anything to happen to Maisey. Maisey wants to get justice for this woman and as it turns out it could help with an unsolved case. There are lots of twists and turns in this book. It was a wonderful read and I can't wait for the next one. Maisey and Aaron and fantastic and I can't wait to read more about them. Deanndra is one of my favorite authors. She is amazing and I love her.

Deanndra Hall is a working author living in the far western end of the beautiful Bluegrass State with her husband of over 35 years and small menagerie of weird little dogs. When she’s not writing, she’s editing. When she’s doing neither of those two things, she’s having dinner with friends, spending time with family, kayaking, eating chocolate, drinking beer or moonshine, or looking for something that she put in the wrong place and can’t seem to find (which is pretty much everything she owns).
