What Readers and Reviewers Are Saying About Julie Bergman:

“A Quick-Witted, Fast-Paced, Page Turner. Starting with the first page, the plot line grips you and won’t let go. Bergman masterfully weaves all the elements of suspense, intrigue, romance, and badassery throughout believable-without-being-stereotypical scenes. In epic suspense thriller fashion, prepare for your heart to pound as you hope against hope that the good guys get there in time, are furious when they don’t, and you lose yourself in the story as you take on each delicious nuance of the heroes in the story. Rewarding and satisfying.” Sharron ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Unique, first of its kind story. A new plot differing from the typical murder mysteries with great insight into the Air Force legal system and life of Service members. I will definitely read the next book from the author.” Dr. McHan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“You won’t believe how good this book is. The storyline is excellent and believable, which makes it pretty frightening. The character development is superb and consistent throughout the book. It is the best read I have had since my last Tom Clancy book. Extremely well done, Julie Bergman; can’t wait to read the next one.” Jim ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Loved it. I enjoyed this edge-of-your-seat murder mystery. I read it in one sitting. Wonderful characters and a plot that keeps you guessing right up till the end. Look forward to more by this author.” Gloria ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A deserted beach.
A suitcase of money.
A decision that will change a family forever.
All they have to do is survive the Stretch…

Six years ago Annie lost her husband in an accident.
Six days ago her and the kids were preparing to go camping on the Stretch.

Trapped on the shoreline for high tide, if Annie and her kids can escape the beach their lives will be changed forever.
But they’re not the only ones after the money.

Cupid’s Curse Mystery Box Set, Books 1-3: A Witch Cozy Mystery Box Set (Complete Series)

About Cupid’s Curse Mystery Box Set, Books 1-3: A Witch Cozy Mystery Box Set (Complete Series)

Running from a murderous vampire while on a business trip? I don’t think I packed the right shoes for this.

I’m done being a witch. My magical training has brought me nothing but failure. My spellcraft supply store was a flop, my pet bat puts a serious cramp in my dating style, and my social life’s a joke. It seems my peers would rather go out to brunch than help me add eye of newt to my cauldron.

It’s time for me to live a “normal” life—and what’s more normal than taking a job with a big company and going on a business trip?

I expect my days out west to include boring PR intern stuff: You know, meetings, phone calls, emails.

Not a gorgeous billionaire, a murder mystery…

and hand-to-hand combat with an outlaw vampire.

It looks like my magical training might just come in handy after all. It’s time to dust off my spellbook, call on old coven members, and yes, ask my feisty bat for some help. Desperate times call for desperate witches.

Read the complete Cupid’s Curse Mystery series in one binge-worthy collection!

Book #1: Desperate House Witches
Book #2: Grimoire Girls

★★★★★ Clean cozy mystery It was a fast great read. I read it in 2 days. Very interesting, likeable characters. Great start to this series. -Staci N.

She depicts a small town named Belhaven, in Michigan, populated by good friends who care about each other. When Gloria finds a dead body by the school, her mind begins to percolate as to who the person was, and why he was killed. Thus starts the beginning of the series! The books are charming, cozy and cute. You’ll enjoy reading them! -Sierraflowr

★★★★★ Masterful writing I LOVE Hope Callaghan cozy mysteries! I got hooked from the Savannah series. There’s such a down-home, relaxed, non-violent atmosphere to this book, and even with a tiny hint of romance, a slight bit of Christianity, but not too much, and some good old fashioned gum-shoe. Looking forward to the rest of the series. -Amazon Customer

★★★★★ Fast-paced, and entertaining “Hope Callaghan has become one of my favorite authors! This series is starting out to be just as great as the cruise ship cozy mysteries she writes. It’s full of twists and turns and is still easy to follow. It has a Christian undertone without being overly religious. It’s the perfect balance in my opinion. This is an entertaining mystery with just the right amount of mystery and a small scare factor added in!!” -SC BookLover

★★★★★ Very Fun! This was a fun book to read. I love the characters’ personalities in the story, and was quickly drawn into this surprising, twisting mystery. I recommend this book for everyone as it is easy to read and leaves you in suspense. I also appreciate the bible verses which Gloria, the heroine, uses to get her through her tough times. Hope Callaghan is fast becoming my new favorite author FIVE stars for this book. – stringer

★★★★★ A lovely read This was a sweet surprise of a book. It was excellent in it’s introduction to the characters, and made the main protagonist someone you cared about. The Christian aspect was beautifully done, and also made you feel happy to read every word. I hope to meet the grand kids soon, as I took care of my two grandsons often. -Donna Roberts
