The Devil’s Shadow (Wild Beasts #4) by T. Birmingham – Review by Katie Matthews

The Devil's Shadow (Wild Beasts Series Book 4)The Devil’s Shadow by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

The Devil’s Shadow is another fantastic 5 star read in the Wild Beasts series! I really am thoroughly enjoying this series and I absolutely loved this book! The author’s writing is so engaging that I find I am hooked from beginning to end. Again the story was deep and complex but such a fantastic read. I loved all of the characters but Ginny was just amazing! She has been through so much but had this amazing strength about her. I think Kieran stole my heart straight away; the way he was towards Ginny just melted my heart at times! The characters are really well thought out and I love their progression over the story. This book could be read as a standalone but I would highly recommend all of the books in the series, they are great reads!
I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series! I’m sure it is going to be a wonderful as this one!!

Surviving Grace: Book Five ( Surviving Series)Surviving Grace: Book Five by Virginia Wine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I’m so sad that this is the final book in this series; I have loved every single book that I have read. This final installment is so beautifully written and I was hanging on every word that I read. I was completely captivated by Grace’s story and after everything she has been through I was totally rooting for her.
Grace and Will absolutely melted my heart and put it back together after everything that happened with Ethan! There really were some great twists in the story that I definitely didn’t see coming but made the story all the more exciting to read.
If you have read any of the books in this series then I don’t think you will be disappointed with Surviving Grace – it was an emotional read that had me on one massive rollercoaster but in my opinion I think this is my favourite from the series!
I will definitely be looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

Rebel Heart (The Immortal Kindred Series #2)Rebel Heart by Clara Winter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Rebel Heart is the second book in The Immortal Kindred series and another great read! I really enjoyed the first book so was really looking forward to reading this one and I wasn’t disappointed! Again the author’s writing was exciting, entertaining and there were lots of twists and turns that kept my interest throughout.
The first book concentrated on Millicent and in this book we get Annie’s story, who we did meet in book 1. I thought she was an intriguing character so I was really looking forward to finding out more about her. Through the author richly detailed writing and world building I felt like I really got to know and understand Annie’s character and I found that I was engrossed in her story. She was strong and independent and I loved the connection that she had with Captain Thayer! There was a definite attraction between them!
A great read and I can’t wait to read more from this author again in the future!

Blade
Being the enforcer for the Satan’s Devils MC is a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.
I can’t allow myself to be distracted, can never let the softer side of me out. Having suppressed it so long, I no longer believe I have one.
Women are there for one purpose only. Once I’ve relieved my itch, I’ll move on. Can’t afford to let them get close. I learned women can’t be trusted a very long time ago.
I’m used to dealing with men, extracting that last piece of information from them, using all the tools at my disposal to get to the truth. After that, I’ll deal the killing blow.
I don’t know how to handle a woman who’s keeping secrets from the club. Secrets which I need to know. I can’t hurt her, so I’ll have to use different methods to get to her instead.

Tash
I became involved with the wrong man. What I know could destroy him, and I fear, bring down the Satan’s Devils too. He’s paying them, after all.
So I’ll keep quiet, I won’t tell anyone a thing. I can’t afford to.
Who can I trust and depend on? Only myself.
When the Satan’s Devils find me, I can’t think it’s going to be good for my health. The enforcer, well, I don’t like him. He’s arrogant, cocky, women are just play things to him. So why is he trying to get close?
He wants me to tell him my secrets. How far will he go to ferret them out?

Manda’s life’s always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman?

There isn’t enough space to list everything that’s happened to Manda, or what she’s learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected.

Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area’s claim to fame being the Wilkin’s Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter.

Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.

Black Bullet (The Order of the Senary Series Book #2) by L.D. Rose – Review by Angela Hayes

Black BulletBlack Bullet by L.D. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Black Bullet is the second book in The Order of the Senary series by L.D. Rose. This is a wonderfully original (dark) paranormal romance with plenty of action, drama, violence, danger, and adventure. The world building in this story is first-rate! This was a really well written, multi-layered plot that kept me completely engrossed from start to finish.
We met Jonathan Kerr, who is a vampire, in the first book- but get to know him really well in this book. He’s a unique, interesting, confused, and tortured soul. Lawan Knight is a hybrid who had been held and tortured by vampires and was traumatized by the experience. So, what happens when these two tortured and haunted souls’ cross paths? You really should read all the intriguing details for yourself!
You don’t need to have read the first book in the series before starting this one, but I really recommend that you do because the first book gives so much back story and character introductions- with which would enhance your reading experience of this book.
I really felt for Jon and Lawan, and what they’d been through- their burden of pain was palpable.
A fantastic addition to the series, and my favourite, so far!

Thank you, Ms. Rose!

Sera is at a point we all wish to be at. We want to realize our greatness and use it to its full potential. We want to discover every unique aspect of ourselves. I felt a connection with Sera because she didn’t know her worth but has come to know and love herself. Nate has given up so much for Sera and has asked nothing of her. I love that he has kept his faith even though he has fallen. I think we are all meant for greatness but in different ways. The author has done a great job pulling these characters together. The story is unique and well written.

Eight Steps, A Friends To Lovers Romance, by Taylor Sullivan

5-stars

Eight Steps by Taylor Sullivan was a sweet romance where main characters Elliot and Fe form a plan to help Elliot become an Alpha Male and catch the eye of his gorgeous boss, Mary. They didn’t expect to fall for each other in the process and to discover so many different secrets in the process. I loved how nerdy the two were and how they also embraced learning new things to help Elliot become alpha. Elliot cleaned up well and the hot hunk underneath came out. At times I wanted to beat Fe with a stick for some of her decisions but it definitely made for a good story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Feathers was an emotional 5 star read.

Right from the start I was pulled right in. Charlotte was in a living nightmare, she was sold by her mother’s boyfriend and was held captive by a local gang. What they would do to her was heartbreaking. Until one day she finds herself being taken to a home, where a woman has bought her, Mrs. Ames. There might be a girl of only fourteen standing before her, but that girl’s soul was dead.

At first she isn’t sure what to expect but she starts to let her guard down as she gets to know everyone. This is where she also meets Hawk, Mrs. Ames’s grandson.

Hawk sees it all the time, girls being saved by his grandmother. Using him to show them that not all men are bad. When he saw Charlotte the first time he was pulled in by her, she was different than the others. Hawk also has been deeply hurt, wondering why he was abandoned. Would my past strangle me and prove me damaged? – Hawk

Two souls desperate to trust, willing to fall, and hopelessly entwined by a string of fate.

These two end up developing a great connection. Hawk was so good to Charlotte. There is so much more to this great read. Your heart goes out to both of them and what they went through, these two were meant for each other in so many ways. Charlotte was a strong character. All of the secondary characters were great. I liked the ending but would love to see more from these two. I look forward to reading more from Kylie, she pulls you right in with her writing.

Little Do You Know (Bayou Devils MC 5)Little Do You Know by A.M. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Little Do You Know is Book 5 of the Bayou Devils MC. I have read every book prior and was so excited to get this! This is Noah, aka Hennessey and Kady’s story. Noah was incarcerated for 7 years, and this is the first time in all the books that we really get to know him. Prior to his incarceration, Noah and Kady were engaged and trying to start a family. As soon as he was arrested, she disappeared without a trace. As soon as he is released, he starts looking for her. Refusing to believe she left him, and also refusing to believe she is dead, he enlists the help of his “brothers”. When he finally finds her living in a cabin and she refuses to see him, he feels like something is amiss. Noah refuses to give up on them even though she has a boyfriend. He also refuses to believe she moved on. He has an eerie feeling something is wrong and borderline stalks her to figure it out.

Noah is a persistent, passionate, sweet man that worships the ground she walks on and Kady is strong willed, independent, timid survivor, which means I love this story!! There’s a bit of naughty language, some laughs, some suspense, definite twists, a whole lot of heart ache, steamy sex scenes, action and more!! This book is one of those books you DO NOT put down, so make sure you’re in your comfy seat, with little distractions and your beverage of choice before you get started! 5 out of 5 stars!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 2 of a trilogy and should not be read as a stand-alone.

Often times the second book of a trilogy is the weakest. A book that connects the first and third and is mainly filler. That is NOT the case with BOUND!!!!

This installment of the series moves very quickly and intensely. It is a mystery/suspense with a game of cat and mouse thrown in for good measure. Oh and consensual BDSM and exploring sexual appetites.

Told in a dual point of view, this story takes us on a rollercoaster of emotion and energy. There is so much I would like to say about the story, but I don’t want to give anything away.

I will simply say… Read this book, it’s good!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Trouble’s Wedding Caper is the 8th book in the Familiar Legacy book series by Jen Talty. It is the first I have read, so it can be read as a stand alone book. This book has a lot of drama, mystery, comedy and a dash of romance. It tells the story of Annabel, who returns to her small town home of Jupiter, Florida after getting her heart broken in NYC. While at her best friend’s wedding, she finds her boyfriend cheating on her, and gets drunk with her best friend’s brother, and her high school crush Ethan. Flash forward months later, and they are both back home in Jupiter and turns out Ethan’s fiance was cheating on him as well. Maybe the time is finally right for them to act on their feelings they have been hiding for years. With the help of Ethan’s sister, and Annabel’s best friend, they go on their first date.
On top of all of that, there is a lot of strange things happening, most involving Annabel and weddings. She buys a storage unit full of wedding gowns, rings, invitations and presents. With the help of Trouble, a cat, who is more like a detective, Annabel and Ethan try to solve the crime. This book was unlike any I’ve read before, but I loved it. It was so cleaver and not at all cheesy as I thought it would be. I will be reading others in the series to see what fun they have in store.

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Black Bullet (The Order of the Senary #2) by L.D. Rose was an addicting, heart pounding read that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read by this author or in this series. Though this book takes place in the same world as the first, it reads as a standalone. But I do suggest reading the first book as it will give you a better understanding of the world that L.D. Rose has created.

Like the first book, this opens on a not so pleasant note. Richly detailed and emotional, you’re sucked in and captured by the outstanding writing and the dark gruesome world. I can honestly say that once I started reading this book, I didn’t stop until the last word was read. It’s just one of those books that you can’t put down, because your mind is so fully absorbed that you need to know what’s going on at all times. It’s like you are a part of the story, an active participant, and it’s your constant reading that saves the day.

This book is well worth your time and energy. It’s not only engaging, but stimulating and entertaining. The plot is solid and the characters are multi layered and complex. Even though this book is about vampires and hybrids, you still connect to the MCs and the pain, suffering, and trials they have to overcome. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will not only be hooked, but obsessed.

Happy Reading

This book is everything and more! I thought I would enjoy this read as everything else I have read by Betty Shreffler has been brilliant, but this book was everything and more! Claimed Royalty is Book 1 in the new series Crowned & Claimed.

This book was epic from the get go, with incredible characters that are strong, powerful & independent. This book was filled with passion, romance, sexiness. It had action, adventure and an ending that I definitely did not see coming. It was filled with twists and turns and had me on the edge of my seat through out the whole read.
It definitely had a futuristic type of vibe to it yet an old historic underlying setting but I throughly enjoyed everything I read in this book, I was totally captivated and entranced by this read, for me I found this book a bit emotional, especially with the raw, real emotions that our main character Fiora felt and deals with through out this book.
I loved the setting of this read, Betty Shreffler has made this book a mentally visual read that I couldn’t put down, I loved learning about Anauka and their people, the various other characters and especially Matheas.

I totally recommend this book, you will never be disappointed. I will most definitely be eagerly awaiting Book 2 of this series, to see where this story goes after the twists at the end!

Black Bullet is the second installment in L.D. Rose’s Order of the Senary series. This book can be read as a standalone, as it follows different characters from the first book, but the world building isn’t as strong as the first one. I recommend reading the first one to get a better sense of the world, and how it all came to be with leeches ruling over New York City. This book definitely started with a loud bang, and did not slow down for a second. I found the second book to be better than the first, in terms of Rose’s writing style growing and getting better and better. I found Lawan and Jon to be very interesting and realistic characters, that were written better than Blaze and Valerie from the first book. It’s amazing to see how much Rose’s writing improved between the first and second book, and how complex her characters are now. I loved all the books gory details, that for once weren’t left to the imagination. Rose weaves such a masterful story, that you can practically taste the blood yourself.

I am glad to read about Libby again. She is full of fashion and has a habit of falling into odd situations. This is a fun read that had me laughing at the exploits. This can be read as a standalone but trust me start with book one to get the back story of the characters. The characters are more developed in this book and have all grown on me. Also, the story flows and moves quickly. This is a great read to get away from the everyday. I look forward to more Liberty Lawrence in the future.

COMING HOME (Flowers in December, #2)COMING HOME by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading Jane Suen’s books is like a quick dose of therapy – a short hug that you need at the end of a busy week. Coming Home is no exception. This is the sequel to Flowers in December and centres around Connor coming home to his home town for Christmas, several months after his grief-stricken departure following the death of his mother. When he was last in town he had struck up a friendship with florist Mary Ann but would his return rekindle that spark, or had she moved on in his absence? Can he help Alana, his childhood friend who is also coming home after a long absence? I won’t spoil it for you… read and find out!
Jane’s novels are shorter than those I normally read but that doesn’t put me off, because she crafts such lovely characters and a warm setting that the reader doesn’t need pages and pages to get into the mood of the novel. I can empathise with the characters and cheer for them to get their happy endings almost immediately. Although I have never been to small -town America, the descriptions make it easy to imagine myself walking down the street and popping into the coffee shop.
A lovely heart-warming read.

I really enjoyed this novel. It was a fun and cute story and very refreshing from the other novels in this genre.

I usually read the lead female having the makeover and it was a change for the male lead to be having the makeover.

I loved the progression from friends to realizing there might be something more between them.

For anyone looking for a cute fast read, I recommended this novel.

Best Foot Forward (The Liberty Lawrence Series, #1) by Bea Stevens – Review by Sheri Schrader

Best Foot ForwardBest Foot Forward by Bea Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Best Foot Forward by Bea Stevens is the The Liberty Lawrence Series . Liberty aka Libby is a fun, fashionista who works in a hotel. What happens when there is a theft and she has a possible suspect in mind? In steps a handsome officer working the case that she finds herself being attracted to more and more. This is a cute, lighthearted story. If you are label conscious you will find that you are familiar with the brands that she is mentioning. Despite that I find Libby to be a fun character. This story made me laugh which I really enjoyed. There are some silly escapades but I grew to care about what would happen with Libby. Also, when I finished the book I was already wanting to jump to the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have to say that I was completely intrigued with Shattered Love by Nivia Borell. I knew the minute I read the synopsis, that I needed to know more about it and it’s characters. I loved every aspect of this book, including Bria’s heart break. You see, it’s those experiences that mold you. And with her, it was the journey that she had to take in order to get where she needed to be. I was captivated with the story from the beginning up to the very end. I loved the emotional roller coaster that I went through. I was definitely impressed with this author and her ability to create a beautiful story!

Black Bullet (The Order of the Senary, ##2) by L.D. Rose – Review by Sara Oxton

Black BulletBlack Bullet by L.D. Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Black Bullet by L.D. Rose a four-star read that will put you in order. This is the second novel in the Order of the Sentry series, however it is a stand-alone, you don’t need to have read the first one Releasing the Demons, but it does give you good world building background. The world building in this series is sublime, Jonathan Kerr is one of those characters that will make you feel his pain, he will make you feel his confusion and heart, coming to terms with what he is now. The pain and hardship are palpable, you will feel it as if it was your own. If you like your reads dark then you will adore this read.
