Start reading this unforgettable cozy mystery today! "Paws in the Action by Max Parrott is the first book in the Jaz and Luffy Cozy Mystery series. The small town of Blackwood Cove is secluded and small so when a body is discovered, this small town is shaken to its core. Jasmine Moore believes there's more to what happened but when everyone else seems to believe what's on the surface, she knows it's up to her to dig deeper if the truth is going to be found. Thankfully, Jasmine isn't acting alone. Her best friend is a loyal companion at her side. Her dog Luffy is quick to lend a helping paw and has an opinion on everything. Together they make an unstoppable and humorous duo. The story takes place within a quaint town that's secluded and has an oasis feel in that it's a happy community and isolated from any danger, which makes a death a shake-up to the town. The idea of community is at the root of the story with a lesson subtly woven into the plot. Jasmine is a driven character with a determination that guides her and a curiosity that sends her on a journey to uncovering the truth. Jasmine's intuition tells her there's more to the death than meets the eye and this feeling is the catalyst that pushes her to become a sleuth. Max Parrott embraces the idea of man's best friend and adds a comedic twist. The story has a Nancy Drew style to it in how Jasmine is a teenage girl that decides to figure out the murder on her own and show up the cops when she solves it. Luffy is Jasmine's primary ally and he also happens to be her dog who talks to her. It's a quirky aspect of the story that creates built-in humor with Luffy's talking status simply accepted and everyone knows that Jasmine and her dog communicate with each other. Luffy is also a great source of comic relief with dog jokes that add a lighthearted quality to the story. The story is fun and upbeat with a mystery that's intriguing, engaging, and is perfectly fitted to the witty duo of Luffy and Jasmine. Paws in the Action by Max Parrott is funny, charming, lighthearted, and has a talking dog." -- 5 Stars, Reader's Favorite

Book Description
Clinical psychologist and author of The Defining Decade, Meg Jay takes us into the world of the supernormal: those who soar to unexpected heights after childhood adversity. Whether it is the loss of a parent to death or divorce; bullying; alcoholism or drug abuse in the home; mental illness in a parent or a sibling; neglect; emotional, physical or sexual abuse; having a parent in jail; or growing up alongside domestic violence, nearly 75% of us experience adversity by the age of 20. But these experiences are often kept secret, as are our courageous battles to overcome them. Drawing on nearly two decades of work with clients and students, Jay tells the tale of ordinary people made extraordinary by these all-too-common experiences, everyday superheroes who have made a life out of dodging bullets and leaping over obstacles, even as they hide in plain sight as doctors, artists, entrepreneurs, lawyers, parents, activists, teachers, students and readers. She gives a voice to the supernormals among us as they reveal not only "How do they do it?" but also "How does it feel?" These powerful stories, and those of public figures from Andre Agassi to Jay Z, will show supernormals they are not alone but are, in fact, in good company. Marvelously researched and compassionately written, this exceptional book narrates the continuing saga that is resilience as it challenges us to consider whether -- and how -- the good wins out in the end.
