The Baroness’ Choices for Upcoming Releases January 2019
Happy New Year everyone. I hope this year will be a good one for everyone. To hit the new year off I got a lot of different books for January.
So, the fourth book in the A Northern Lights series is coming out. Look for An Alaskan Proposal by Beth Carpenter. Ms. Carpenter is a pretty great writer.
The sixth book in the From Kenya, with Love, The Marine’s Return by Rula Sinara is the first in the series that I will be reading. It sounds pretty good and Ms. Sinara is a great author. If you are into romance, this is a great series. I also found a young adult called Triplicity by J. Mercer; it’s guaranteed to make you truly think about who did it.
I got a newcomer author with his first book out called Challenges of the Gods by C. Hofsetz. Its a dyspotian and sounds awesome. This next book sounds really good. It’s called Analiese Rising by Brenda Drake.
Then I picked some cozy mysteries for you to check out. And I mean I found lots of them. Some have a touch of the paranormal. Then there are some regular cozies. They are The Lost Traveller by Sheila Connolly, Southern Potions by Amy Boyles, Death by Chocolate Malted Milkshake by Sarah Graves, Murder, She Meowed by Liz Mugavero, and No Escape Claws by Sofie Ryan.
For the Young Adult fans, I also found a lot of those. Some are paranormal, historical, and romantic. They are Angeles Covenant by Michael Pierce, Boneseeker: Here Walk the Dead by Brynn Chapman, The Risk of Happiness: The Punk Rocker by Catherine Goldstein, and Dream Keeper by Amber R. Duell.
Enjoy! Here are my choices for Upcoming Releases January 2019.

Boston expat Maura Donovan came to Ireland to honor her grandmother’s last wish, but she never expected to stay in provincial County Cork—much less to inherit a house and a pub, Sullivan’s, in the small village of Leap. After a year-long struggle to stay in the black, Sullivan’s is finally thriving, and Maura has even brought back traditional Irish music to the pub. With a crop of new friends and a budding relationship with handsome Mick Nolan, Maura’s life seems rosier than ever—but even in Ireland, you can’t always trust your luck.
It begins with Maura’s discovery of a body in the ravine behind the pub. And then, the Irish gardaí reveal that the victim’s face has been battered beyond recognition. Who is the faceless victim? Who wanted him dead? And why was his body dumped in the backyard of Sullivan’s Pub? Even after the dead man is finally given a name, nobody admits to knowing him. In the tight-knit world of Leap, no one is talking—and now it’s up to Maura to uncover the dark secrets that lurk beneath the seemingly quiet town.
