When I was a kid, we didn't have cable, at least not until I was a teenager (the '90s). So when I stayed home sick from school, it was daytime TV. My favorite show was Unsolved Mysteries. I remember my sister and I would watch it together during summer break, and it was such an exciting series. We would get caught up in the mysteries and theorize as best as we could in the pre-internet era. 

But now...not only is Unsolved Mysteries back (thank you Netflix!), but there are so many other options! I think it started for me a couple of years ago when a makeup YouTuber I watch was doing a Mystery Monday (Bella Fiori) series and I was hooked. I started looking into the unsolved mysteries she talked about, and then I found that it was a "thing." You know, not just a one-off, but that there were so many other channels that covered similar topics, and that lots of people were like me where we were incredibly intrigued by all the cases that weren't only unsolved, but were sometimes unexplainable.

Next up was Buzzfeed Unsolved, then podcasts, and so many more (Mr. Ballen - a Navy SEAL who now tells us all scary stories is my current fave). 

So imagine my delight when I saw the SNL Murder shows video! This is so me! LOL

So tell me, do you guys like Murder Shows and podcasts? If so, share your favorite channels, podcasts, shows, whatever you prefer!

 I was talking to a friend the other day, and she asked me what my favorite book was where the previous villain got his HEA. We of course had to define what she meant by "villain," and we decided that Lisa Kleypas' Devil in Winter is the best example.

Jennifer Ashley does a good job with those grey area type heroes. They aren't good, they aren't bad, they're somewhere in the middle. She has a dragon series called Dragon Series and in the first book, Dragon Heat, Malcolm is the bad guy...but he isn't, not really. So it was no surprise when he got his own book The Black Dragon. She's done this trope well in her Shifters Unbound series as well.

Cynthia Eden- In the Dark Obsessions series, Ethan Barclay is almost always the first suspect in each book. He's not a good guy...but he's not really a bad guy either. In Beware of Me, he gets his story, and I really liked the way the author did it.

Another of her books that does this trope well is Ghost of a Chance. In the Wilde Ways series, there's a book where who we think is the villain of the piece...isn't. And it turns out, he makes a pretty good hero in his own book.

So what other books should we add to this list?
