Title: Whiskey, You’re the Devil – Addison Holmes
Mystery #4
Review: Addison
Holmes is about to take her P.I exam while living in Sin with her boyfriend and
right when everything seem to be going in the right direction Rosemaire
Valentines fingerprints are found on a murder weapon used to kill a Sex shop
owner. Addison calls on the gang to help
solve the case before Rosemarie is tossed into jail with no hope. So with the
help of Nick, Savage, Kate, her sister and mom what could possibly go wrong? Well
- Everything.
I couldn't wait for this book to come out and at 10pm because that when
it was loaded on to my Kindle I started to read and found myself and half an
hour later putting it book down and going to bed because it was missing
something. When I finished reading
Whiskey You're The Devil the only words that came to mind is flat. The
story fell flat, the characters fell flat and yes there was humor and fun but
something just didn't seem to flow right.
I had so much hope for this book but instead from the same characters
doing the same things without any growth made for one uninteresting story.
Addison is still finding herself in awkward situations that have tons of humor
but everyone else fell flat. At first I
was laughing so hard and her cases were interesting but before I knew it the
book wrapped everything into a nice little bow with very little action. Everything was "Solved" in a few
short paragraphs which made me feel a little short changed. I love this series and I pray that Liliana
Hart doesn't decided to go with the Stephanie Plum where it’s an endless love
struggle between "Two Hot guys" and no character development. The
cliff hanger from the last book is answered but it took awhile. The dinner scene with mom, the lawyer, her
sister and Rosemarie had me laughing so hard but that is when everything
ended. After that if felt like the
author thought it would be good to slap them here and there making the book
choppy. She gave us another cliff hanger
and since there are two more books in the series which makes me hope for some
development in the next book.

Author
Information: Liliana Hart spent five years
teaching music in the public education system. She molded America’s youth,
busted kids for smoking pot in the restrooms, and broke up illicit affairs
behind the stage on a regular basis. (Liliana’s Addison Holmes Mystery Series,
about a small town teacher who gets into a whole lot of trouble, is somewhat
autobiographical, but she won’t confess to which parts).
Liliana began reading romance novels with all her new found free time,
and when she ran out of things to read, she decided to write her own novels.
The result was a 150,000 word thriller—a dazzling adventure—where the heroine
was a thirty-year-old virgin assassin (Yes, you read that right). She couldn’t
imagine why people weren’t knocking down her door to read it, but she
persevered and began writing a second book. She finally got the hang of things,
and eventually learned that losing one’s virginity wasn’t all that romantic
after all. All of her books involve some kind of suspense (she just can't help
herself), laughter, and a lot of steamy sex.
Since the failure of her first attempt, Liliana’s books have won awards
such as: The Daphne Du Maurier, The Suzannah, The Linda Howard Award of
Excellence, The Maggie, and many others. Her affiliations include Romance
Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America.
Liliana loves to cook, and is addicted to reading, Internet Boggle,
kickboxing, and Bones. She lives in a big, rambling house in Texas with a
couple of cats to keep her company. She loves to get emails from readers.
Enjoy the Adventures!
