    5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of crazy twists, great detective work and suspenseful moments

    This was a lighthearted nod to all the video conferencing that took place last year, but Ava and Jolie were setting up their first set of online cooking classes in an otherwise completely normal world (which I really appreciate that authors I read kept things normal in their cozy mystery worlds). Little did the girls know their students held more secrets than college art students should have. The murder on-screen was preceded by a prank in another session, so no one really knew the second was real at first.

    I loved that Jolie and Meiser finally got close despite all the rumblings regarding a local pregnancy. The notorious Nestle was still being well, notorious and just skating above the law. It was kinda cool how during the showdown, Jolie thought it was one person, but someone got away making her wonder if they'd surface sometime. Onward to the next books and novellas!

    I enjoyed this e-book so much I had to order it paperback to make a special place on my shelf just for this series. I keep saying I love this series and I recommend to everyone to read them and with each book in the series I feel that way even stronger. There is something special that this author seems to be able capture...she writes with real truth and honesty. Her characters are not perfect but they are all perfect together. Jolie and Ava's friendship is something magical and what I think we all look for in others. They are truly flawed characters that are written with honesty. I recommend this series a thousand times over. I always look forward to the next one!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Can Jolie and Ava figure out who killed one of their students?
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020
    Cast Iron Stake Through the Heart by Jodie Rath and Rebecca Grubb is another tale of how Jolie and Ava try to solve a case before the police do.

    Can Jolie and Ava figure out who killed one of their students?

    Jolie Tucker
    Jolie Tucker is our main character and point of view narrator, who is sometimes good and sometimes bad. The good when she's investigating and stuff. For the bad is when Jolie decides to take a mental health day or gets knocked out, and then that's it for until Jolie wakes back up. Jolie is a good person at heart, but she needs to remember to bring more than one person as back up. She is still doing her therapy and is making progress with it. I am happy she is dealing with it.

    What I like about her is that she is getting gutsy and tells her family to back off and let her process things before they come to check up on her. Another thing that I like is that she forces the conversation with Mick regarding their relationship. The one thing that I dislike is that she shouldn't be trying to perm her hair to look like her friend when she looks beautiful with it straight as well.

    The Mystery
    The mystery in this one was a crazy one. We have an artist commune that had most of the girls in that class (all five of them) so that they can learn to cook. Not to bad, right? Right. Well, that is until one of them gets stabbed, and now everyone is looking at that commune trying to figure out what is going on at that place. I kind of fell for the red herrings, but not as I knew something was off. They did a great job of hiding the real person behind it.

    Four Stars
    Cast Iron Stake Through the Heart by Jodie Rath and Rebecca Grubb is an exciting pair to write together. I could hardly tell when one stopped and the other began in writing their parts of this book. It's another one that kept me on my toes and wanting to know more and more. Jolie is always a fun main character to read from to find out how she is thinking about certain things.

    I am giving Cast Iron Stake Through the Heart by Jodie Rath and Rebecca Grubb four stars and recommending it to anyone that wants to read it.

    I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

    Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Cast Iron Stake Through the Heart by Jodi Rath and Rebecca Grubb.

    Until the next time,
    Karen the Baroness

    Jolie and Ava decide to start an on-line cast iron cooking class. What could possibly go wrong? Murder, mayhem, and twists and turns. This is another page turning addition to this series. The beloved characters of Leavensport, Ohio are all here to solve another crime. I recommend this book and series!
