Obsessed: Lila Casey Book 1 by J. Collins

4-stars

This was my first book by this author, but I can honestly say that it won’t be my last! This was a truly phenomenal read, it’s highly entertaining, witty, action-packed and unbelievably funny.

From the very beginning I was hooked, Lila’s internal dialogue had me laughing out loud and feeling very connected to her. She was a really normal character in a very abnormal situation, and I loved it. I loved the flow of the story and all of the detail, it made it really easy to picture everything playing out in my mind which kept me engaged the whole way through!

I honestly can’t wait to continue reading about these characters in book 2!

Wayward (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 1) – Via Mari

5-stars

Wayward by Via Mari is a phenomenal read! It’s steamy, action-packed, intense, detailed, suspenseful and completely unpredictable. This is the first book in Via Mari’s newest series Billionaire Bodyguards, and what a phenomenal start it is. From the very beginning I was hooked, and it didn’t let up until I reached the end. This book follows the same storyline from other series but with different POV’s, which I highly enjoyed. I can honestly say that this book can be read as a standalone, however, the storyline is so incredibly detailed when you have the whole picture.

So, having said that I can honestly say that this author managed to completely change my opinion on some of these characters. I felt really strongly about Sasha and her behavior in The Torzial Affair, yet she grew on me with her own story as I got to know her and connect with her. I love how dynamic her character is and I loved getting to know her.

I would recommend anything from this author as she never ceases to amaze me, and I honestly look forward to continuing with this series. This is a book you won’t want to miss!

Behind Blue EyesBehind Blue Eyes by C.S. Duffy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Behind Blue Eyes is the first book in the Stockholm Murders series by C. S. Duffy. It’s a really gripping thriller that will suck you right onto the story from the onset. At one time this was my favourite genre but I have strayed away recently. After reading this book, I’ll definitely be reading more thrillers. I had never read any of this author’s work but I’m pretty sure i’ll be reading more of it.
The plot of this book will have you gripped throughout. Just when you think you have the story worked out, the author takes you in a new direction that has your head spinning.
Ellie has moved to Sweden to be with Johan, the love of her life. She doesn’t know the language or anything about Swedish culture. Soon after her arrival, she discovers a dead body on the beach. This body just happens to be Johan’s missing, presumed dead, former girlfriend. Ellie’s world is turned upside down. Is Johan a killer? When Ellie starts to dig a bit deeper, she discovers several unusual unexplained deaths in the area in recent years. Is there a serial killer in their midst?
I thoroughly loved this story, the characters were so well written and the plot nicely intricated to keep you hooked. I look forward to reading the next instalment in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Steele Resolve ( Hawke Family #6) by Gwyn McNamee. This is the sixth book in this series. I don’t believe that there has been one book that I have read by this author that I did not truly love and enjoy. This is the final book in the series and boy does it end with a bang. To better understand the entire storyline, you really have to read the previous books.
We have met Luca throughout the entire series and now we finally get to his story. Luca’s book is filled with hot, sexy, passion. Byron and Luca really get things heated up. You will not want to put this book down!!!!

I am extremely sad to see this series end but it has definitely been an amazing series to read!!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Hawke Family Story ending? Say it isn’t so!?! No matter, the story is still good. Better than good. Word of warning: This is NOT a stand-alone. It must be read in order or you won’t know anything that is going on or who the characters even are.

Looking at the number of pages, I thought it was going to be too short of a story…but then I realized that McNamee packs a lot of punch into all her stories! And Steele Resolve is no different.

This story, in fact I think this whole series, proves my point of you can’t help who you love and I love that. In the stories that I read and in real life. Byron is part of the Hawke family, they trust him, they love him. Luca aka Steele not so much. When these two get together the pages sizzle and burn!! Wow! Trust and love are two key elements for happiness. But throw in a little bad blood and some misunderstandings and you have yourself a pretty good story!

Looking forward to what else McNamee shares with us!!

The Last Dance (The Sorrel Janes Mysteries) by Lonna Enox

5+++++ Stars

Oh my goodness I loved this book so so much. Everything about it…The characters, the feel of the town, the landscape, the buildings, the flow of the writing, the having me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going on…LITERALLY EVERYTHING!

Now I want more so I’ve already searched out and have the next 3 books written down in order and will get those loaded up on my kindle ASAP.

Saddle Gap is one of those places I would love to live..Small town, awesome people and the feeling of just being at home there. Sorrel was trying to stay under the radar, trying to stay safe and rebuild her life after losing her husband. The case had not been solved and with her career noone was sure if it was because of her or not so she moved to Saddle Gap to rebuild a home and business that was left to her by her Aunt and Uncle. She made quick friends with Teri, who I absolutely loved, she was a whirlwind whenever she was around. As things started happening and her fears that her past was catching up to her she found herself dealing with a local detective who aggravated her as much as he fascinated her. Chris Reed was determined to figure out what Sorrel was hiding and why murders started happening right when this newcomer came to town, a newcomer he found himself not being able to stay away from.

Then theres Flash, totally loved Flash! 🙂

I am so in love with this book and can not wait to read on in this series, this author definitely knows how to build a mystery and while your trying to figure it all out you have become like one with the story…Emotionally invested in all of it.

Can’t recommend enough…Loved it!!!

5 out of 5 stars

The story RETURN (Rewind Book 2) by Rowan Shaw is an amazing book that I fell in love with and just couldn’t put down. It pulled me in from the very beginning and I found myself lost reading the storyline and about the characters. It is a story that tells the tale of Raphael Diop and Adrien Dupuis. Raphael meets Adrien when he is trying to find a place to stay. He is a student and wonders just who the man standing in front of his really is. Adrien is a man who is handsome and stubborn. Both Raphael and Adrien seem to have a tendency to deny or ignore what is at times right before them. There is an attraction between them. There is also sparks as well as desire. What does the future hold for Raphael and Adrien? Read this book to find out. This story is at times emotional and also has some romantic scenes that are very steamy. I found myself growing to care about Adrien and Raphael with each chapter that I read, and I wanted them to be happy. There are intense conversations between these two. I enjoyed the bantering that goes back and forth between them. There are additional characters introduced and have their own part to play in the story. This is a wonderful story with characters that are unforgettable and come alive on the page. I would highly recommend reading this book.

Nite Fire: Smoke & Mirrors by C.L. Schneider is book 3 in the Nite Fire series. This is a tale of fantasy, paranormal, and things that go bump in the night. The main characters are energetic, entertaining and beguiling. The drama flairs and nervous anticipation is an emotion I was very familiar with after reading this story. Intensity had me stretched to edge, riding the adrenaline packed ride that was Smoke and Mirrors.
Another masterfully clever tale to add to this wonderful series. 4 stars

The story Girl Trap (A Madeline Dawkins Mystery Book 3) by Cynthia Hamilton is the next exciting and amazing book in a series that I have loved since reading the first one. The author really knocks it out of the park with both the storyline and the characters. It is a book that once I started, I couldn’t put it down. I love reading about Madeline and her partner Mike Delaney. Madeline is an intelligent, independent, determined woman. Mike is a man who is resourceful. They believe that each of them are on a case to find those who are missing. Little do they know that all is not as it seems to be. What does the future hold for Mike and Madelina’s cases? Will they find the missing that they seek? Read this book to find out. This story has suspense, mystery, and danger. It is a story that didn’t let me go until I had read the final page. The author does an amazing job of making the book and characters come alive and I felt like I was right there with Mike and Madeline. There are intense moments and dialogue. I love how Madeline is so methodical when working a case and has learned to trust her instincts. Once Mike is on a case, he doesn’t stop until he finds out the truth. They are both characters I would love to have as a friend. I enjoyed reading about how the additional characters fit into the story and the part that they played. Don’t miss out on the next amazing story that will keep you guessing. Highly recommended.

The story A Deal with Death (Crescent City Wolf Pack Book 4) by Carrie Pulkinen is an awesome and amazing book to read. It pulled me in right from the start and didn’t let me go until I had finished the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Odette Allemand and James Malveaux. Odette is a smart, strong, independent, and beautiful woman. The only problem is that every time she meets her soulmate things end horrifically. Then she meets James. James is a werewolf who feels that he is broken. He remembers Odette from back in school. He is finding that his wolf wants to claim her as his mate. There is a deep attraction between these two. There seems to be a connection between them and there are sparks when they are together. Are Odette and James destined to go through an ending that never seems to change? What does their future hold?

Girl Trap (A Madeline Dawkins Mystery Book 3) by Cynthia Hamilton is another exciting book in this series. This book should not be read as a standalone as you will miss out on the back stories and how are characters came to where they are. Cynthia has done a great job of suspense and thrills and chills and weaving a story that has become addicting. We once again see Madeline and Mike trying to put the past behind them and move forward with their new Event and PI businesses but inevitably the past keeps coming back to haunt them.

In this book both Madeline and Milke take on missing person cases that split the team and stop them from working together. Madeline is on the case trying to find a missing daughter but what she uncovers shows who the real enemy is.

Mike is hired by his cousin to find his missing partner and her sister but what they uncover is something far more sinister than they ever could have imagined.

Now the two are in a race against time to find the truth and the women alive.

I really really enjoy this series and I look forward to more.

A Deal with Death (Crescent City Wolf Pack Book 4) by Carrie Pulkinen is another exciting book in this series. It is a paranormal story that encompasses wolves and voodoo and is set in New Orleans and can definitely be read as a standalone but I know you will enjoy the other books in the series just as much. It was one intriguing and interesting read especially learning more about voodoo and it’s craft and religion. Add in werewolves and demons, death and fear, possession and spirits and you have yourself one addicting story.

Odette has always been a child of death but she has pushed aside her teachings and faith after one awful night when her life changed forever. Now she is in a race against time to stop a cycle what always ends with her death.

James has just found his dream renovation and the girl that held his interest in school. What he finds along the way is his mate but unless he can break the cycle in time he is facing certain death.

I look forward to more.

Once again the author has done an amazing job with this novel and with Dahlia’s character. She continues to mature in this novel and seems to open herself up more.

By: C.S. Duffy
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Behind Blue Eyes (Stockholm Murders Book 1) by CS Duffy was a heart clutching thriller, that had me hooked.

My first read by this author, and I went in hot. Man oh man, this book had me in knots, my nerves were shot, and it really gave me that punch gut ending I was hoping for. This book was full of twist, turns, ups, downs, and it has you second guessing everyone. I love books like this, no one likes to figure things out from the start. I love the MC, she was smart, witty and read well. I felt like she could have been a real person, who ran out of luck. I love how she brought her background in, and for me, she stole the show. The real kicker for me was the dark humour, it’s a weakness of mine, and for me, rounded out the crazy, and gave me some good chuckles before the madness started again. The detail of this read was on point, fresh, and pulled you into the setting. As well as, the characters were well rounded and believable.

Overall this book was top shelf, it pulls you in, captures you, and when things start to get hot you can’t put this book down until you know what’s going on, and the multi level mystery is solved. And this is where I leave you, in fear I will spoil this gem for you, so to end, this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Umm, what did I just read!? This was amazing and I have no words. It’s been 2 days since i’ve finished this and i still can’t get over this book and can’t get my thoughts straight.
I can’t imagine moving to a new country where they speak a language I know nothing about. But that’s exactly what happens here and my goodness, despite her language barrier, it doesn’t stop her investigative mind from working double time.
I will say I had my suspicion and even though I was right, it was by sheer luck I was, as I stopped reading and looked.back at my notes. Yes I took notes as i wanted to figure this out to see if i was by chance correct lol.
This was so good and i cant wait to read the next, as it left me with many questions and I also just want more of these characters. What an amazing read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dark the first book in the series by Paul Arvidson is a beautifully written Sci-Fi fantasy book. This is my first book by this author so I did not have any preconceived thoughts of what to expect. Arvidson’s story is well thought out, characters are fully developed, and keeps you guessing on what is coming down the pike. One thing I really love about Sci-FI is that there are no rules. Arvidson created a new world that kept me turning the pages because I could not wait to see what was happening next. Dark is a planet on which Dun with his two friends are on a journey through a labyrinth. There are missing elements that Dun is trying to seek out. He is having dreams, but he is not sure if they mean anything. Will Dun and his friends make it through the labyrinth? What other dangers will they encounter?

Wayward (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 1)Wayward by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you have read this author before, you know the amazing ride she takes the reader on.

This is the first book of a new series and there were a few times I wanted to throw my Kindle against a wall and scream. There were other times I chuckled at the back and forth of the characters and others where my heart broke.

This is a well-developed plot and the way characters are introduced held my attention from beginning to end. There is a certain delicateness yet wicked strength about this book (I know that’s a total contradiction). It ebbs and flows as the story evolves and the secondary characters play an important role in moving the story forward.

I absolutely will continue reading this story and I am adding it to my TBR again before I begin the next in the series.

I have always enjoyed reading this author’s works and recommend her and this story.

If you like action, you like take charge women then this is the series for you. As I said with the last book, I just wish the stories had more detail and were longer.

A great read about shadows. Dahlia Nite is a lyrriken dragon shifter working for the police force. One day, a series of body parts turns up at a local riverbank and not all of them are human. With only mysteries to go on, Dahlia and her friends chase shadows that lead to one grim scene after another and a group of dangerous men in masks. Can they solve the crimes before more creatures get hurt?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Dahlia bold and brave but caring underneath or Evans as a fun loving friend but grieving underneath. Great cats of supporting characters like the suspicious Ronnie or the stubborn Creed.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel with the sense of macabre with the body parts and gurney and furnaces horrifying but still realistic. Or with the Gant mansion on a high cliff with its long path and old spires and windows with the sense of the gothic and unsettling perfectly written. Or the use of sounds and smells so vivid it’s as if you’re actually there.
A great example of world bulling with fantasy creatures coexisting alongside humanity with their own rules and laws and societies. I loved the inclusion of different fantasy cretaues into the novel such as the banshee or aswang or selkie given the respect they deserve and true to their origins and wonderfully written.
I also loved the use of suspense in the novel with slow builds to the scenes in the slaughter house or the factory with a sense of foreboding that something isn’t right. Or the draw of suspense around the crimes, making you want to read on to find out who is behind it all and why they are doing it. Fast paced action and high stakes make for a caotivsting read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

This is another amazing story to add to the series! I can’t believe what happened in here. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. This character breaks my heart…just as much as in Rocks story a few books ago. These men are so tied to the club…they are their family. When he is ripping off his patch and replacing it with Nomad. I could really *feel* for him. I almost had tears as well. It’s so “raw” being inside his head and listening to his thoughts while this is happening. I really feel bad for the character. He tries and tries so hard but nothing seems to come up aces for him. The female was a surprise! After learning about her life I can understand why she is so spunky and determined.

I did love hanging out in Pueblo again with this crew. It’s nice to see them and watch everyone try to figure out their place in the MC. Especially the guys just patched in. But I am not discounting Demon in this scenario either. His need to find his footing as the Prez. We did get to spend some time with the old ladies as well as see bets placed on their club cat! Ha ha those guys! They bet on anything!

Those last two lines in the Epilogue…are the perfect way to end this book! I absolutely loved reading them!

I don’t know how this author does it time after time but I commend her for each of these books. I enjoy reading about this lifestyle and she makes me care about these characters. All of these book can be read as a stand alone but I promise you will get much more enjoyment learning the brotherhood of these guys if you start at the beginning.

This is the third book of the series and just like the others I was lost amongst the pages and completely hooked I just couldn’t pull my eyes away. There just so much going on that you can’t just be drawn to the storyline from mystery to reality and your just so intrigued that you want to read on so stopping isn’t an issue while reading this novel. I have loved every second of this novel and can’t wait to sink my teeth into more ?. This is a must read even if your like me and not usually into the fantasy/shapeshifter reads but don’t be too quick to judge this may just change your views!
