Book; Diabolical (Shaye Archer Series)

Diabolical (Shaye Archer Series) (Volume 3)






Author; Jana DeLeon
Came out; August 11, 2016
Read on; Nook App (Barnes and Noble)
Rating; Per Amazon 4.9/5



Caution; Spoiler Alert




Synopsis;
From New York Times bestselling author Jana DeLeon, the third book in the Shaye Archer thriller series. Nine years ago, the police found Shaye Archer wandering in the French Quarter, beaten and abused and with no memory of the previous fifteen years, not even her name. Now, at twenty-four, Shaye is a licensed private investigator, determined to get answers for her clients when the police can’t help. But her last case uncovered more than anyone anticipated, and pieces of Shaye’s missing past have surfaced with unexpected consequences. She’s starting to remember. Will Shaye unlock the secrets buried deep in her mind? And more importantly, can she handle the truth if she does?
Thoughts;
So, I did get a little lost in this one, the book jumps back and forth. The start of each chapter does tell you the where and when, but I'd get so lost in the book that I would forget where and when we were.



This one did start out a little slower than the other two, however it picked up quickly and in the end we find out who purchased Shaye and why. We also find a lot more about other things that have happened.



There is one more book in this series and I can't wait to start it! I encourage everyone to read these if you like the mystery and suspense type books.

August (2017) Empties

YouTube;


I have started putting wax in all my warmers! I generally change out all the upstairs one every other day and the downstairs one daily. It’s still a little hard for me to keep track of what’s melting BUT this is a challenge for me so I’m all over it.

Here's what we've got!
A purple glade warmer in my son's room.
A green glade warmer in my kitchen.
A blue glade warmer in my office
A purple glade warmer in my family room
A Stardust Scentsy warmer in my bedroom.
A scentsy warmer in my living room
My daughters each have scentsy warmers


Candles;
I generally only burn candles in my living room and office, but I seem to go through them!


Living Room;

Vendor; Creative Enchantment
Scent; Cookies & Cake. This candle preformed perfectly, smelled amazing and threw like crazy!

Vendor; Chloe and Me
Scent; Lollipops & Sweet Tarts. I love her lollipops, it is so amazing

Vendor; Sweet Sensations Wax Melts & More
Scent; Pink Sugar Lollipops. This was an older candle and it was simply amazing!

Vendor; Yankee Candle
Scent; Vanilla Cupcake. I am not a huge Yankee fan. I find that their stuff has zero throw for me and I am always unsure of the candles. Personally I think their “look” is strange. Their candles do burn perfectly

Office

Vendor; Kushner Kreations

Scent; Blueberry Lemon Buttercream. I was hoping the Blueberry and Buttercream would be more dominant, however the lemon was.


Melting;



Vendor; Kushner Kreations

Scent; Red Lipstick VBN; This was a bakery bag of tarts that I received some time ago, I was finally able to finish it! I love this blend and I love kushner!

Scent; Pink Sugar VBN; This was also a bakery bag of tarts that I finally finished. This blend is also one that I love and it of course preformed amazingly!

Scent; Raspberry Green Tea; This wouldn't have been a scent that I would have chosen, however it was not bad!

Scent; Circus Dream Cloud. Yum Yum Yummy! I love this scent.

Scent; Dr. Pepper Wedding Cake. So, I live off Dr. Pepper (and coffee), I also love cake. I figured this sample would be amazing together. I was unsure based on cold sniff, but it was amazing on warm!

Scent; Firefly. I think this one may have been a bit old. I have always had great luck with Kushner but this one just had zero scent

Scent; Caribbean Dream. Ok, again not one that I would have purchased however it was amazing!

Scent; Black Raspberry Champagne. Um, yes please. This was a great fruity scent!



Vendor; Sweet Sensations Wax Melts & More


Scent; Rainbow Sherbet Vanilla Waffle Cone Strawberry. This was an interesting blend to me. This was a cute loaf that I had won. The Strawberry was dominate which I would have thought that the rainbow sherbet would have been. Honestly the scent didn't last that long with this one.

Scent; Vanilla Bean Noel. It's no secret that I am in love with this scent. This vendor makes the strongest by far and I can't get enough of it!

Scent; Red, White & Blonde. This was the emoji loaf that I had. It smelled wonderfully

Vendor; Wicked Wax of the East

Scent; Passionate Kisses. This was a small cart that I received as a sample in one of my orders. This one smelled amazing. I have to say that it was a little light, however it was the perfect not too strong and not too light scent.

Scent; Hawaiian Splash. My son had stolen this one and melted it in his room. Even my husband loved it! It was a nice clean, scent that reminds me of outside and the sun.

Vendor; Frankie's Scents

Scent; Blueberry Muffin. This was a very true scent. It was melted in my son's room who loves blueberry and it performed very well

Scent; Green Apple. This was also melted in my son's room as it isn't my type of scent, but it was strong and preformed very well

Scent; Orange Soda Pop; This was a great orange scent!

Scent; Monkey Bread. This was a little too cinnamon for me, but it preformed very well

Scent; Pralines and Cream. This again is a scent that I wouldn't have choosen, however it's amazing

Scent; Pink Lemonade. This one didn't throw as well for me, but it was still very nice

Vendor; Ladybugs Wax & Soap

Scent; Cherry Crumb Pie; This scent preformed very well. It wasn't a knock you in the face cherry but it was strong enough to smell

Scent; Snap the whip; No clue what this scent actually was, it was very light on cold and almost nothing while heated unless you stuck your face in it

Vendor; Fire it up Candles

Scent; Egyptian Musk
This was a light musky scent. I generally find myself not ordering these types, however I seem to prove myself wrong about liking them when I melt them
Scent; Volcano. This was an interesting scent to me, because it's fruity but I can't place the fruit. It preformed very well over several meltings

Vendor; BeuTalli Wax Creations

Scent; Strawberry Cheesecake & Buttercream. This was the cutest little cupcake! It smelled amazing and I probably shouldn't have melted this in my bedroom

Scent; Lick My Blow Pop. First off, how can you resist that name? Second this was super yummy!

Vendor; Front Porch Candle Company

Scent; Vanilla Butter Fudge. I received this in a swap box. I have never ordered from this company and have heard some not so good things about this vendor. This was an amazing scent though and it's parafin wax, it preformed very well

Vendor; Blended with Love

Scent; Candy Fruit Swirl. I didn't like this on cold, but my son loved it. He melted it in his room and I can actually say that it was amazing!

Vendor; Chloe and Me

Scent; Lollipops. I love her lollipops. It's a house blend so it's not the same as the “bottle”

Book; Sinister (Shaye Archer Series)

Sinister (Shaye Archer Series) (Volume 2)










Author; Jana DeLeon
Came out; January 23, 2016
Read on; Nook App (Barnes and Noble)
Rating; Per Amazon 4.9/5



Caution; Spoiler Alert




Synopsis;
From New York Times bestselling author Jana DeLeon, the second book in the Shaye Archer thriller series. Street kids are disappearing, but how do you report that to the police when, from their standpoint, the missing people didn’t exist to begin with? Hustle is certain that something bad has happened to his friend Jinx, and the only person he can turn to for help is private investigator Shaye Archer. Because Hustle helped the young PI while she was investigating her first case, Shaye has already formed an opinion as to his character and believes he’s telling the truth. As she digs deeper into Jinx’s disappearance, she discovers that Hustle’s friend isn’t the only one missing. As a frightening pattern emerges, Shaye wonders if she can find the missing kids…before it’s too late.


Thoughts;
This book was amazing! As with the first, I just couldn't put it down! These books are well written and easy to follow. They are also great at not giving away any real clues until the characters in the book figure it out!

In this book, we find Shaye helping a young street kid named Hustle. He is missing some of his friends and is very worried.


Once Shaye starts looking into the disappearance of one street kid, they start finding out others have been missing along with another child.
In the end, they uncover a human trafficking ring where kids are stolen, then sold. We also find out that Shaye was once one of those kids.
