Especially at the beginning of a sentence

She also likes reading all kinds of books. Especially, mystery and adventure stories.
I've read that you're not supposed to use Especially at the beginning of a sentence but there does seem to be exceptions to this rule.
I was wondering if the following would be correct: She also likes reading all kinds of books, especially mystery and adventure novels.
Thanks
