I was wrong. This one is even funnier! I can’t get enough of Riley. And of course Lucy can do no wrong! This series has been a solid 4 star read for me! I flew through it!

Another great book by Lucy score, have read many by her. Now I have to wait until July 16th to read the last one! I’m going to go crazy! The blast from past was so good and I’ll never know what happens next!! I love all of the old folks but Mrs. Penny is by far my favorite. Riley & Nicks relationship is adorable. Another amazing one. Thanks for the ARC COPY Lucy Score & netgalley.

I usually enjoy this authors books for their real characters with real feelings and real life issues. Throwing a stupid psychic with self-dramatizing issues into the mix sapped any interest in this book.

This took me a bit to read because I hadn’t read the first few in the series. I’m glad I did!

I really enjoyed this series and this one is my favorite of the bunch. I usually read a lot of thriller/horror/dark fantasy/dark romance, but this was so fun and such a great break from my usual.

The characters are relatable and the banter is fun. I love the dynamics and how they interact with each other.

High recommend.

This series never fails to delight me. I absolutely adore giggling over Riley, Nick and their wild neighbours and the antics that ensue. This time, Nick is torn up over a cold case he is deeply connected to and Riley is increasingly worried it will affect their relationship. Between the PI business, renovations, attempting to keep their elderly neighbors out of their home, and working to strengthen her psychic abilities, Riley and Nick seem to be drifting apart already. When a not-so-missing old friend of Nick’s appears, bringing loads of trouble with her, Riley is thrown into another weird case that threatens to interfere with her powers.

Lucy Score is so great at infusing humor and danger and romance and this is the perfect dose of all of that. While the spiciness is on the lower scale here, there is still a strong undercurrent of love and heat between Riley and Nick that makes this a good rom-com with a lovably weird dash of paranormal eccentricity and annoying but ultimately adorable side characters. I think if I had the neighbours that Riley and Nick do, I’d move to another country. Everything felt fresh and fun in this installment and while Riley is certainly nothing like me, her thoughts, concerns, and feelings about the people she loves really connected her to me. I’m so excited for the next book which we have been waiting for forever it seems!!

Thank you so much for letting me have access to these. I adore Lucy Score, but this series is a little too much for me. You are the best for letting me try though!

The blast from the past, the third book in the Riley Thorn series by Lucy Score is another winner in my eyes! I am a series reader, so revisiting my favorite characters always make me happy! This book didn't disappoint! The twists that Score puts into her books always leave me on the edge, waiting to see what will happen next. Great banter between the characters, but I would expect nothing less in this series!

Boy was this book a good time. Blending mystery, romance all around wackiness, it has something for everyone. The central relationships are fun and the sexy times are perfect.

Perhaps because I had not read the other books in the series, I had a little trouble trying to make sense of it at first. To me it was not a completely believable plot but not bad ,it was a good book. I will give it a try again after reading the previous books. Definitely look forward to it!

Lucy Score is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. This book was so funny and entertaining. Riley & Nick were so funny and made this book a fast read and I didn't want to go to sleep at night to see what they were up to. This book was just I needed after a long week.

Love Lucy Score and I love this series. It was superfunny (had a lot of laugh out loud moments) and a great mystery which kept my attention the whole book. Loved the main characters too. Like others have said, this book should be made into a movie or a tv series - I would definitely watch. Cannot wait for the next book in this series!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

A great, fast paced read, the third in this series. I liked how it was told from both points of view and the range of characters. Looking forward to the next books in this series.

I received this book through Netgalley and soon realized it was book #3 in the Riley Thorn’s series however I didn’t feel like the 2 first book were absolutely necessary for this one.

I really enjoyed the feel, and how funny it was!

It’s the (continuing) story of Riley and Nick. Nick has an ongoing investigation to find Beth who’s been missing for 6 years. Nick has alway felt guilty he wasn’t able to be there and save her or do more when she just disappeared. But as he’s not taking any new cases, bills are starting to pile up. As for Riley, she let him do his investigation but after a while, she took matters into her own hands and made a call for help through her psychic spirit guides to giver her hints of where Beth could be. Nothing made much sense to her but soon realizes it made a lot more sens than she thought.

Her psychic power really brought her for a ride and all events following were also out of this world! But as things happen and seem to make sense, there’s always a twist coming up and brings you back to square one.

With the many (not that many) characters, and their own personality, it makes it such a fun light read!

I actually bought book 1 to start the series!
I recommend it!

Thank you Netgalley and Lucy Score for this ARC.

This book was great. It has me laughing, confused, and even excited to see what Riley and Nick would uncover.

This group of amazing friends and family had me wanting more. They give off Scooby-doo vibes, and I loved reading there interactions.

The twists and turns of the roller coaster that Riley and Nick go on will have you not able to put this book down. You will need to have read book 1 & 2 to understand what’s going on. You will laugh, cry from laughing to hard, and moments of nail biting suspense.

I would highly recommend this as your next read!

Nick is obsessing over a cold case. Meanwhile, Ms. Penny is calling the shots for investigative work. Her new house guests seem to be trouble based on the severed finger delivered to their house.

I missed Riley’s cotton candy world! If you loved the first two in this series, this book provides the same comedic relief. Must read!

Thank you to Lucy Score, SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is book 3 of a series. When I put in for the ARC, I thought it was the newest book but then realized it was one I previously read. It still was delightful to reread to prepare for the true book 4.

I beg this series be made into a TV show or movie! If you are looking for hilarious hijinks with senior citizens and off the wall characters, mystery, suspense, supernatural/psychics and sweet and steamy romance...CHECK THIS OUT! Yes, it is a little over the top, but oh, my, how much fun!!

This series from Lucy Score is so witty, humorous, and entertaining. I've read the first three in the series in three days. I've been hooked since the first few chapters not wanting to finish or for them to end.
The characters are so worth the read. The octogenarian's are amazingly humorous. The MFC is an inexperienced psychic. The MMC is a private investigator trying to solve an open case that's personal to him while maintaining his relationships and business. I'm unsure how Lucy came up with the idea and the depth for these characters but it was brilliant. If you want humor mixed in with a lot of "what the heck this cannot be happening" romance, mystery novel, this is the book for you.

I will be recommending this whole series and will definitely be rereading these in my future.

This is one of my favourite series and this third book did not disappoint!!! This book keeps you completely on the edge of your seat. Lucy Score writes in such a way where you feel you are Riley Thorn. You feel all of her emotions and insecurities and each read is a rollercoaster. I cannot finish reading a Lucy Score book without desperately wanting to jump into the next book at the exact same time as desperately missing the characters and stories I left behind.
