“Corpses, crystal balls and a curiously magical cat keep the action moving in this second Fortune Teller Mystery, as Sunny Meadows continues stirring up tea leaves and trouble in the small town of Divinity. The tone of the novel is lively and humorous and the addition of Granny Gert is a definite plus. Strong plotting carries the novel through to a nail-biting conclusion where a crystal ball brings the killer’s identity into focus and places Sunny in extreme danger.”--RT Book Reviews
“A fine whodunit laced with generous helpings of humor, Tempest in the Tea Leaves marks an entertaining beginning to Townsend’s series. And it wouldn’t be wrong to predict continued success.”--Richmond Times-Dispatch

KALLI BALLAS MYSTERY SERIES
"Townsend once again introduces us to unforgettable characters this first book of her new Kalli Ballas Mystery series. The scenes with Kalli’s family will give you flashbacks to “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”, with family members you hope you’ll see again. Once she meets Nik and his slobbering St. Bernard, you’re going to wonder how in the world is our germaphobe-sleuth going to team up with the detective to clear her best friends name? But Kalli has a secret she’s learning to live with and using this newfound gift means she’s going to have to curb her OCD and touch strangers in order to read their minds. The fate of her best friend is in her very capable, very sanitized hands."--Top Amazon Reviewer
"What a fun and funny cozy mystery! It's filled with wonderful, sometimes over-the-top characters (of course they are mostly Greek so how could you expect anything else?), danger, suspense, plenty of suspects and red herrings, and mysteries that kept me guessing until the end. Kalli is sweet and quirky with her OCD, germaphobia, and her ability to hear thoughts with just a touch. Nik is her dreamy next door neighbor, a police officer, and he happens to be crazy about Kalli. The possible romance building between them is so entertaining to watch. Now if scheming ex's, interfering family, and bad guys could just leave them alone they might actually get to go on a first date. Highly recommend."--Top Amazon Reviewer
"Kalli Ballas thought she had a chance at a relationship with Detective Nik Stevens until his ex-girlfriend shows up claiming to be pregnant with his baby. To make matters worse, the ex-girlfriend is found murdered in Nick’s mother’s kitchen. Kalli finds herself working with Nik to find the real killer and clear his mother’s name. I had to laugh at Kalli’s germophobia and her obsession with hand sanitizer. To find the killer, Kalli has to use her ability to read a person’s thoughts just by touching them and then find a creative way to pass the information along while keeping her ability a secret. I loved the wonderful Greek characters and the Greek traditions throughout the book. I just hope there are more books in this series!"--Top Amazon Reviewer
"This is a hilarious cozy mystery. The characters are wildly Greek and has all the big family drama that involves lots of food and talking. Kalli is adopted (non Greek) OCD and germaphobic. She is also able read peoples minds when she touches them. Nik is a half Greek detective who lives next door to Kalli. The story has a lot of laugh out loud moments as the elders try to mold the children to their will. The plot is very well laid out as the author is able to keep the identities of the perpetrators from the readers until the reveal. It is also romantic as Kalli and Nik work to build a relationship that is torn apart by drama."--Top Amazon Reviewer
CECE MONROE MYSTERY SERIES

"This author is very good at keeping her readers guessing who the Murderer is. I enjoyed this story very much."--Amazon Reviewer
DIGITAL DIVA SERIES
*A 2010 Golden duck Award Nominee for excellence in children’s literature!
"Eight grader Samantha has all the latest technological gadgets, thanks to her parents' jobs at an electronics company. When a chance encounter with an eerie crystal in the woods mysteriously merges Sam with her innovative new cell phone, it leads to newfound abilities. Sam discovers she can access all of her phone's technology literally with a blink of an eye. Suddenly, Sam has phone service via her palm, photographic and video capabilities through her eyes, and more. However, when she reluctantly starts intercepting 911 calls, Sam garners unwanted attention from some menacing strangers. Townsend creates a believable character caught in extraordinary circumstances: Sam's practicality and typical teen behavior--all she really wants is to have a date with her crush, Trevor--ground this fantastical tale... Readers are bound to be intrigued by this new action heroine."--Kirkus
"Sam meets challenges with creativity and panache. The novel has plenty of complications and plot twists that keep things moving. The wacky humor is equally appealing. This is definitely a book targeted at girls. Many will identify with Sam's interests and fears, as she narrates her life in the first-person. Boys might enjoy the action and science fiction aspects... It's a fun and timely concept...as the first in a series, so girls who like action and humor may have found a new superhero to follow."--The New York Journal of Books
“The book is a mix of tween school life and Samantha’s more adventurous heroics, with a targeted demographic of tween girls. It’s a fun little book that its projected audience should enjoy and would probably make an entertaining movie for that same demographic.”--Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine
"A fun read that I think middle grade or tween girls would really enjoy. As a first in a series it definitely peaked my interest and I'm curious as to where Sam's special abilities will take her."--Red House Books
"There is a refreshing new voice for upper M.G. fans and it belongs to author Kari Lee Townsend. Hip, smart and funny, 'Samantha Granger!' engages readers from start to finish. Townsend gives 'teen angst' a whole new meaning, 'fusing' her story with charm and delight. Samantha Granger is here, and she's a winner!"--Hollywood Director Doug McKeon
"I loved getting to know Samantha, a girl superhero complete with techie powers and a cast of sidekicks. Read and enjoy the adventure!"--Award-winning author of The Light of the Oracle, Victoria Hanley
"Samantha Granger gives new meaning to girl power. A fun, feisty and gadget-crazed superhero is born!"--Author of Total Knockout: Tale of an Ex-Class President, Taylor Morris
"What a great idea--the ultimate sci-fi adventure for the gadget generation!"--Author of The Declaration, Gemma Malley
