Get ready to laugh your butt off. This is a hilarious, witty rom-com with a cast of loveable characters. I truly enjoyed this book! Definitely a treat to read and a lovely escape from my day-to-day.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for an early copy of this re-release.

Another super fun, cute, and hilarious read with Riley and Nick! I loved all the new characters plus cameos from the previous book. I want more in this universe!

What a fun read! I loved the characters in this story! They are all so quirky and hilarious! I really liked the mystery and the very different path the investigation went!

This is the second book in this amazing series. Riley and Nick will definitely keep you on your toes and reading throughout the night !

I love Lucy score’s books and this one was no exception. The plot was perfect and I loved the romance. I would highly recommend this book!

3.5 stars

This is the second book in the series and while the mystery is standalone, I felt lost with all the various characters. Overall it's a quirky and fun book with a bit of spice. By the time we got to the end of the book I was invested and will definitely be checking out the first book and am looking forward to more in the series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you, SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books.

Riley and Nick are back … and their crazy roommates, friends and family! I did enjoy learning about Nick’s family … and I love the supporting characters in Detective Weber and Jasmine (I actually want more of them!). This book has Riley learning her “powers” better with Gabe as an advisor and has her grandma joining in.

Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books and NetGalley for this ARC in return for my honest opinion.

For those who read the first Riley Thorn book, this book is just more and more of the characters you grew to love and befriend. Riley and Nick maneuver dating and big feelings, while also figuring out murders. New characters like murder victims, Riley’s grandmother, and more cameos from smaller characters in the first book make this book so much fun to read. The ending felt very quick to me — a lot of build up for a very quick discovery of the murderer, but it didn’t take away from the story too too much. I wish there were more spicy Lucy Score scenes, but other than that, a perfect read full of humor and mystery!

I love a good series! Riley and Nick deliver again and I can’t wait to read the third book. I appreciate a quirky book and Lucy definitely delivers this to us. You have the kooky neighbors they barge in anytime, the overprotective boyfriend and the grandma who is bossy as I’ll get out.

Thank you #NetGalley for the advance copy

This was book 2 of the Riley Thorn series and it was just as fun and quirky as the first. The Corpse in the Closet picks up immediately where book 1 left off at, with Riley's grandmother showing up at the front door and Detective Weber asking for help. I also love how Lucy always gives us a preview of what is to come as the first chapter.

Riley is ready to just take a breather and spend time with her new live-in boyfriend Nick, but sadly she is not able to predict the wild adventures in store for her. From glitter bombs to almost burning down farmer's markets, there is no restful day in the Thorn/Santiago relationship.

Nick is ready to be the caring a devoted boyfriend, yet is still slightly traumatized over almost losing Riley. He comes across as a bit overprotective, but we all know it comes from a good place. I could not stop laughing over Riley and Nick being unable to have along time together because of all of their nosey neighbors. Here is to hoping that they can finally have that one-on-one when they move into their new crime scene home.

This book was non-stop fun with non-stop bizarre situations. I love all of the characters and all of their quirks.

Thank you to Bloom Publishing and Lucy Score for an E-Arc is exchange for an honest review

This was such a fun, light-hearted book that was just a joy to read! There’s both mystery and romance, and it kept me interested from the very start. I would recommend reading the books in order so that you can know the characters and their back story. I can’t wait for more of this series. Thanks so much for the opportunity to read!

I seriously can’t wait to read the third book in this series. I literally laughed out loud AGAIN in multiple parts.

Easy, fun read that just makes you happy! I loved getting to know the characters even better and the relationship between the main characters deepening! It was so fun! The action and suspense were just the right amounts! Would definitely recommend.

I dove into this as soon as I finished the first book in the series, Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door. The story picked right up. I would recommend reading them in order. We get more of Riley and Nick and their roommates, friends, and family. If possible, I laughed more during this one. We also get some new characters, like Riley's grandmother, a medium who has come to help train Riley and encourage her total her psychic gifts more seriously. We also meet Nick's parents. Along with all of the great characters, humor, and dialogue, there's a number of cases to be solved and some danger to be avoided.

I flew through this and jumped right into the third one. I am recovering from wrist surgery and this was the perfect series to read- fun, funny, engaging, and enjoyable.

Read this if you like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. It also reminded me of Darynda Jones' Charley Davidson series. Fun characters, great dialogue, lots of humor and connection, and a mystery or two to solve.

Thanks to the publisher for sharing a copy with me. All opinions are my own.

I just finished the last installment of the Riley Thorn series and was super excited to see this one on Netgalley! Had to request immediately!

I really hope to see more books in this series as I will continue to read them. I love getting updates about our favorite characters and Riley and Nick are so much to read about. The mystery was a little less strong for me, but I think this book still does a good job of balancing the romance and mystery. I was simply more intrigued by the first mystery.

I am ready for the next installment in this series.

Thank you to netgalley and the author for this arc in exchange for a fair adn honest review.

It's time for more adventures with Riley Thorn and Nick Santiago!

Once again, I was thrilled with this book. It just has everything I'm looking for when it comes to a book. I love the characters, the story lines, the side characters, and Burt the dog. I think Lucy handles writing the psychic aspect very well. It never comes across as corny or out of place in the story. She does a great job of taking you to Harrisburg when writing the Riley series. I can picture everything clear as day from the old mansion she lives in to the river and downtown area.

If you're looking for a lighthearted romantic suspense, this is for you! If you enjoy a series that follows the same couple for multiple books, this is for you! Honestly, that's one of my favorite things about this series. I really like watching Riley and Nick settle into their relationship. Speaking of Nick, the way he defends Riley in this book is just *chef kiss.* He has no issues standing up to her scary grandma or his parents. I love how much he worries about her and how her being a psychic isn't a big deal, it's just another part of her.

I hope we get 10 more of these books!

I honestly love this series.. “the corpse in the closet” is the second instalment to the Riley Thorn detective series and it is a blast.

Firstly I love Riley and Nicks relationship, Nick really goes out of his way to do above and beyond boyfriend duties in this one as he navigates how to be in a romantic relationship. I’d say this book sways focus more onto their relationship than the first book and less so on the detective forefront but it didn’t feel like it was missing out on anything in the mean time.

I’m also a huge fan of Gabe the spiritual guide who is such a sweetheart. In this book we are also introduced to Riley’s grandmother and Nicks family as extra characters.

After solving multiple murders the book ends on somewhat of a (none threatening) cliff hanger leaving the door open for book number 3. I’m definitely intrigued and will be opting to continue this series.

These books are full of quirky characters, loopy neighbours, laugh out loud banter and inappropriate behaviour. They are the perfect combination of murder mystery, detective work, romance and satire.

Thank you to Lucy Score, NetGalley and Sourcebooks bloom books for the EARCS 🩷🩷

Publish date: April 16

As the second book of the Riley Thorn series, I had very high hopes for this book. It greatly surpassed my expectations and I am looking forward to further books in this series! Riley Thorn is a quirky, sassy, and relatable character with clairvoyance who uses her powers to solve murders. As a continuation of the first book, Riley is working on harnessing her powers. Instead of mastering her powers to suppress them, she wants to master them to use them for good, i.e. solving murders. On top of the mystery solving, Riley's relationship with Nick, a PI working on cases for hire, is insatiable and keeps the reading wanting more.

Riley Thorn and the Corpse in the Closet, the second in the Riley Thorn Series, by Lucy Score, was just as amazing as the first!
The snort-laugh-inducing adventure continues as we follow Riley, Nick, and their hilarious old geezer neighbors through tracking down a serial killer who uses glitter bombs as their calling card. Funny, quick paced, and engaging - this story had me smiling and giggling through the whole thing. I highly recommend the Riley Thorn series by Lucy Score!
Thank you #NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for access to this amazing book in exchange for an honest review! Can't wait for #3!

I am loving this series of spicy and hilarious murder mysteries from Lucy Score. Yes, this is a rerelease but it is still worth your time. In the second book of the series, our psychic heroine Riley and her live-in, touch-her-and-die boyfriend Nick, are pulled into a new murder investigation, with predictably hilarious results. The cast of zany secondary characters make this book as much as Nick and Riley do, and the overflow of snark is on point. And even among the funny, there is character growth happening for both Riley and for Nick as Riley starts learning to accept her psychic abilities and Nick learns what it might mean to be in a grown-up relationship. I have my fingers crossed for Wander and Gabe, and I am really hoping for Jasmine and Weber. I will happily read the next Riley Thorne adventure!

5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary ARC of this book. These opinions are my own.

Hear me out…a romance novel but add in murder mystery, suspense, paranormal and laughs that will leave you having to catch your breath. Tie that all together and you get this 5/5 read from Lucy Score!

Although this series is different from what I’m used to from her, I’m kind of obsessed. Like can’t get enough, will you please do more of this, I love it, obsessed.

This book is like a cozy hug with so much to love. We love a protective boyfriend and Riley’s PI boyfriend Nick does not disappoint plus the banter between the two of them is *chefs kiss. Also the cast of side characters are not only quirky but so lovable and it feels like you’re right there with them.

The world of Riley Thorn is hard to leave so grab the book and jump into this world that will have you wanting more at every turn of the page.
