Pit Perfect Murder (A Barkside of the Moon Cozy Mystery Book 1) Kindle Edition
Lily gets more than she bargains for when a rescue pit bull named Smooshie rescues her from an oncoming car, and it’s love at first sight. Thanks to Smooshie, Lily’s first two wishes are granted by Parker Knowles, the owner of the Pit Bull Rescue center, who offers her a job at the shelter and the room over his garage for rent.
Lily’s new life as an integrator is threatened when Smooshie finds Katherine Kapersky, the local church choir leader and head of the town council, dead in the field behind the rescue center. Unfortunately, there are more suspects than mourners for the elderly town leader. Can Lily keep her less-than-human status under wraps? Or will the killer, who has pulled off a nearly Pit Perfect murder, expose her to keep Lily and her dog from digging up the truth?
Fall in love with Lily Mason, the shifter who only wants to live as a human, and her pit bull Smooshie, a rescue dog who in the end may be the one doing the rescuing!
Book 1 of the Barkside of the Moon Mysteries from USA Today bestselling paranormal cozy mystery author Renee George, is an exciting tale of mystery and suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat. A clean read full of humor and small town charm, mystery, and even a little romance.

Kona the Princess Pitador
My muse Kona, a 7-year-old pit/ Lab mix, is the most cuddly, loving, sweet animal I’ve ever met (totally not bias at all). When she came to us, she was a year old, and so ready for all the love we had to give. She instantly became my crime-solving sidekick, cracking the case of the murderous squirrel, the disappearing fried chicken, and where all the bones are buried in the backyard. She inspires me, not only in writing this series, but in every aspect of my life.

About Renee:
USA Today Bestselling author Renee George writes paranormal mysteries and romances because she loves all things whodunit, Otherworldly, and weird. Also, she wishes her pittie, the adorable Kona, could talk. Or at least be more like Scooby-Doo and help her unmask villains at the haunted house up the street.
When she’s not writing about mystery-solving werecougars or the adventures of a hapless psychic living among shapeshifters, she is preyed upon by stray kittens who end up living in her house because she can't say no to those sweet, furry faces. (Someone stop telling them where she lives!)
She resides in Mid-Missouri with her family and spends her non-writing time doing really cool stuff...like watching TV and cleaning up dog poop.

If you’ve never been owned by a pit bull, you are missing out! Smooshie is a very well-written representative for the breed. In my experience, they are lovable, sweet tempered babies for their humans. They are also protective (which is the main source for a lot of the misleading reputation). Renee George describes this particular sweetheart with so much clarity and love it is obvious that she is a dog lover.
I loved these characters and cannot wait to return to town… even though a return means another murder since these are cozy mysteries. I love Lily. She is an intriguing character with so many facets to be further explored. Smooshie, as I’ve already mentioned, is a fur baby after my heart. Parker is the perfect friend, boss, … boyfriend? I even love that there are loose ends on that front. There is room to grow as the series grows.
Lily is doing all of this while keeping her cougar-shift a secret from the humans. Thank the Goddess for Uncle Buzz who helps her navigate that rocky beach. Yet, she’s getting notes. Someone saw her.
Now I’m off to go grab book 2! I have to know who knows her secret.
Title: PIT PERFECT MURDER
Series: Barkside of the Moon 1
Category /Genre: Paranormal Romance, Mystery
Recommended for: 18+ due to sexual content
Grammar/editing: B – a few small errors
Received from: Amazon purchase
I really liked the characters. Interesting and some twists to many. I also enjoyed the paranormal aspect of this. It gave it another dimension. This was also thrilling and I enjoyed the plot overall.
What was lacking:
This is not a cozy. It had some aspects of a cozy, but there is violence. Some people will not like that. I just want expecting it. Grammar issues abound. Also, and what really makes this seem amateurish, is the long front porch. The mystery doesn't begin until about a fourth of the way through. I also didn't believe some character's actions/reactions. Above all, I wanted more twists and turns to this mystery. I was already cheated because the book didn't start until the mystery started, so why so short? I'll not be reading the next book in the series.
There is not one, but two murders. And although Lily hasn't been in town more than a day, she has met so.e nice.people, one of whom is Patrick whom she really likes. The local sheriff arrests.Patrick foe the murder and Lily, who found the first body, wants.to clear his name.
The story is well-written and has good character development. All in all, a very Goodreads. I liked reads to more in the series.

5 stars! A must read!
I loved this book; plot, characters, and storytelling came together and mixed into a perfect tale, with a sort-of-romance and a murder or two to solve. What I did not like were the numerous spelling and grammar errors which really got on my nerves after a while - this story deserved better editing!
Even though its part of a series the story is full with no hanging conclusions. There are more than enough well developed characters to fuel further stories.
You will enjoy.
