  CRYSTALS AND CORPSES Magical Misfit Murders - Book One by Jacki James & Lori Ames Release Date: January 14, 2026 Review This is a fun and cozy start to a warm and quirky new series by Jacki and Lori.

  LOUIS Seattle Sasquatch Hockey - Book Two by Harper Robson Release Date: January 6, 2026 Review I can’t imagine being in a competitive sport and not just competing with opposing teams, but also your teammates coming up to replace you!  I’m stressed thinking about it. But this book gives us a swoony take on that competitive relationship. When veteran player Louis finds himself spending a lot of time with his up-and-coming replacement, they find a connection beyond hockey that neither expected. It’s a lovely story, sans any major trauma/emotional crisis. They are thoughtful, caring, and super happy in their little bubble. It’s just an all-around heartwarming romance. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Two goalies. Only one net. A game they never saw coming. LOUIS I thought I knew exactly who I was—until a career-threatening injury forced me to realize I was wrong about my hockey future. And my heart. My name is Louis Tremblay, and I’ve spent twelve years being the Ki...
