Another absolute blast in the Riley Thorn series! This book had everything I’ve come to love—quirky characters, laugh-out-loud moments, fast-paced mystery, and that signature Lucy Score blend of heart and humor.

Riley and Nick’s chemistry is still perfection, and the mystery in this installment kept me flipping pages way too late into the night. I loved seeing familiar characters return (the Thorn family chaos never disappoints), and the stakes somehow managed to be higher and funnier at the same time.

Lucy Score delivers again with snappy banter, just the right dose of supernatural shenanigans, and a murder mystery that’s as entertaining as it is twisty. If you’ve been following the series, this one won’t disappoint—and if you haven’t started yet, what are you waiting for?

Highly recommend for fans of cozy mysteries with sass, spice, and psychic visions. Can’t wait for whatever comes next!

Thank you NetGalley and Bloom Books Publishing for my DRC!

Riley Thorn and the Blast from the Past was as fast-paced and fun as every book in the series has been thus far. The plot and characters are fun and engaging, and I love to see how the interpersonal relationships change and grow throughout each new book in the series. This series has been my first experience with books with comedic elements and I am falling in love with Lucy Score's comedic writing more and more with every book I read!

🩷🔥Blast From The Past🔥🩷

This book was laugh out loud hilarious! I loved it so much. I adore the way Riley is just so zany and fun. They are the perfect lighthearted cozy mystery and when I’m in that mood these hit the spot perfectly! This one gave us an added twist with drugs and legal drama but I’m excited to read the next one!

I recommend this for fans of rom-coms, cozy mysteries, and lighthearted reads! If you like Janet Evanovich you’ll love this series!

Thank you @read_bloom and @netgalley for a copy of this book!

Okay the silliness and believability tips over into the ridiculous and unbelievable in this one. Still love the characters and the fun but I need at least some elements of reality in my contemporary romances. Anyway, it’s a fun book. But it’s Not a romance novel. And I need more in my romance novels than dog poop and farting.

Really enjoy this series. Shenanigans from beginning to end & it makes the story go by quickly in a great way.

Lucy’s cozy mysteries have become a favorite here at home. The third novel in this series, brings the same vibes.

This was quirky, and a little silly. But I felt like the plot felt a hair short compared to the other two already released novels. This novel still encompasses the entirety of the heart and romance the other two have, with just the right pacing.

This small town, second chance mystery full of chaos and hilarious fun will keep you entertained from start to finish.

Thank you so much for the arc! I absolutely love Lucy Score and her writing! After reading a different series of hers, I’ve immediately wanted to read all her other books. This series was so much fun and I loved it! More in depth review to come!

Love love LOVE this book! It did take me a bit to get into the book, but once I did I couldn't put it down! Lucy Score never fails to make me laugh out loud one second to swooning the next.

The Blast from the Past is the third book in the Riley Thorn series and just like the previous books, it's a cozy mystery with a bit of humour in it. This was a quick read but i felt like the plot was a bit lacking comparing with the previous ones. I really liked the story and i'm eager to dive into the next one.

Lucy Score’s Blast from the Past is everything I needed—laugh-out-loud moments, a second-chance romance, and small-town chaos that feels like a warm hug. If you’re into banter, swoon, and all the feels, this one’s for you, book babes!

Blast from the Past by Lucy Score is an absolute delight! This book combines humor, heart, and just the right amount of romance, making it a must-read. The characters are lovable, the dialogue is sharp and witty, and the story has the perfect mix of nostalgia and fresh excitement. I couldn't put it down and recommend it to anyone who loves a feel-good, laugh-out-loud read. Lucy Score does it again!

This is a Negative Review

Thank you to Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books | Bloom Books for an ARC

I usually LOVE a Lucy Score Book but.... this one was just defeating for me I couldn't get past the first 20% no matter how many times I tried.. Unfortunately, this one just wasn't connecting with me. . Sometimes, things simply don't work out. Right Book wrong time perhaps. Therefore I will not be posting this review to any other platforms.

A great read! Not too heavy, light and comedic. Lucy score is always the way to go when you’re ready to curl up in a blanket with a book that won’t tear you to shreds.

Lucy Score did it again- another fun short enjoyable read. Only reason this is not 5 stars is I personally didn’t connect as much as I thought I would from her other books but I want to stress that is on me - not the book.

So funny. I absolutely love this series and it’s definitely one of my favs. Riley and her geriatric roommates are always hilarious. And her relationship with Nick is always sweet and spicy.

I have usually loved Lucy Score's books, but I'm sad to say this series was a miss. I had a hard time connecting or caring about these characters. It also felt like these books were longer than they needed to be. I'm disappointed because I wanted to love this series, too. I bet others will enjoy this series.

This book is even funnier than the last; I don't know how she does it! Reading this was like watching a sitcom. Every quirky character, all the sharp wit and of course the glue that holds it all together, the charming and adorably dimpled Nick.
