I love how quirky she is… These books are addictive.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “…a real page-turner for me.”

Book Description
Tired of cookie-cutter detectives with perfect hair and no real problems? Meet Delilah Duffy, the new girl on the murder mystery/romantic suspense block. She's no stranger to solving mysteries in books, but real murders aren't so cozy. Delilah loves and dreams BIG. Thing is, she's working against BIG PROBLEMS. High anxiety. A regretful past. A feuding family. No money. Zero self-confidence. Oh, and a murder. When Delilah moves to Tipee Island, North Carolina to reopen her great aunt's abandoned bookstore, she expects to fall into the peaceful folds of a beach town. Wrong. Delilah Duffy doesn't have a hot minute to settle into her new life before the haters come out to play. Most of them belong to her own family, but she somehow loves them anyway. Her Christian world view helps (it is the South y'all), but she's not judgy, preachy, or uptight. She uses swear words just as often as Bible verses. She also enjoys long walks on the beach (with beers in her pockets). How else is she going to think through her issues? For all her battles, Delilah's a fighter. She scrounges together what's left of her damaged self-esteem and puny resources (mostly her wit and nerdiness) to battle against police allegations, family drama, and a killer. When mayhem turns to murder, it's not just her bookstore she's trying to save, but her life.

Pages : 351
Book Description
Lorna Kepler was beautiful and willful, a loner who couldn't resist flirting with danger. Maybe that's what killed her. Her death had raised a host of tough questions. The cops suspected homicide, but they could find neither motive nor suspect. Even the means were mysterious: Lorna's body was so badly decomposed when it was discovered that they couldn't be certain she hadn't died of natural causes. In the way of overworked cops everywhere, the case was gradually shifted to the back burner and became another unsolved file. Only Lorna's mother kept it alive, consumed by the certainty that somebody out there had gotten away with murder. In the ten months since her daughter's death, Janice Kepler had joined a support group, trying to come to terms with her loss and her anger. It wasn't helping. And so, leaving a session one evening and noticing a light on in the offices of Millhone Investigations, she knocked on the door. In answering that knock, Kinsey Millhone is pulled into the netherworld of unavenged murder, where only a pact with the devil will satisfy the restless ghosts of the victims and give release to the living they have left behind. Eleven books into the series that has won her readers around the world, Sue Grafton takes a darkside turn, pitching us into a shadow land of pain and grief where killers still walk free, unaccused, unpunished, unrepentant. With "K" is for Killer she offers a tale that is dark, complex, and deeply disturbing. "A" Is for Alibi "B" Is for Burglar "C" Is for Corpse "D" Is for Deadbeat "E" Is for Evidence "F" Is for Fugitive "G" Is for Gumshoe "H" Is for Homicide "I" Is for Innocent "J" Is for Judgment "K" Is for Killer "L" is for Lawless "M" Is for Malice "N" Is for Noose "O" Is for Outlaw "P" Is for Peril "Q" Is for Quarry "R" Is for Ricochet "S" Is for Silence "T" Is for Trespass "U" Is for Undertow "V" Is for Vengeance "W" Is for Wasted "X"

Okay, so technically she can’t because I’m immortal. Well, not yet. See, due to the worst case of mistaken identity with my dark-side-loving twin sister at a Goth club called Club Fang, Magnus, a vampire hottie, went for my innocent neck instead of hers. Now if I don’t reverse it in time, Magnus will be my blood mate forever and I’m doomed to be a blood-gulping, pasty, daylight-hating vampire. Believe me, it seriously bites. After the unfortunate slaying of the vampire leader, it’s up to me, my sister, and Magnus to find the one thing that can solve my problem—the Holy Grail. No joke. I seriously hope I can get out of this in time, because somehow, I scored the hottest prom date in my school, the mouth-watering Jake Wilder. And I do not want to be a vampire for the prom—let alone the rest of eternity...
