Lila Casey has always been fascinated with vampire fiction, an escape from an average day-to-day life. A chance meeting with gorgeous Adam Drake plunges Lila into a world of real-life vampires, passion, true love… and danger…

Because unfortunately another, deadlier, vampire has taken a shine to Lila, and he’ll stop at nothing to hunt her down, his plans for her darker and more evil than anything she could imagine. Now it’s up to Adam and his friends to protect Lila while they try to hunt the hunter, and save her from her hideous fate.

Can they find him before he finds her?

Having read as many paranormal romance and supernatural series as possible, J Collins felt a world developing in her mind and sat in front of her laptop. She’d written many different subjects and genres in the past, but nothing had come together quite like this vampire world she’d begun creating.

The character of Lila Casey is loosely based on the writer; if the writer indeed had the guts and sassiness Lila does. The writer’s love of all things vampire, and of rock and goth music, became intertwined with this series, and fueled the hours and hours of writing in the early hours of the morning.

Born and raised in England, J Collins wanted to create something quintessentially English in its language, settings, and humour, and she hopes she has done it justice.

For St. Augustina, a cyber-spy for hire by anyone with the credits to pay, her life has been a series of endless nights in the heart of the Data Bowl, the cybernetic city of corporate markets and sub markets. Why would one typical job from the mysterious Orange Lady be any different?

Because it was a trap.

From fighting Neo-ninjas to singing in a lounge act, the job turns out to be anything but typical. But as she comes closer and closer to her goals, the attacks become more and more personal and deadly, forcing her to ask the question: who is out to get her?

Beachcomber Enemy: a Romantic Thriller (Beachcomber Investigations Book 10) by Stephanie Queen- Review By Felicia Bates

Beachcomber EnemyBeachcomber Enemy by Stephanie Queen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beachcomber Enemy is the tenth book in Stephanie Queen’s Beachcomber Investigations Series.
As I’ve come to expect, the book had a great balance of action and adventure as well as the romantic. Dane and Shana continue to be characters you connect with and their chemistry is enough to keep you gravitating toward this series in itself.
Beachcomber Enemy hit the ground running on page one, something I really enjoy about a good book. Once the book kicked off there weren’t any lulls, the excitement was palpable and the story tlowed extremely nicely. As always, I look forward to reading more from this author.

4-stars
Enemies Of The Desert is an exhilarating and action packed book. It was a quick and easy read with Blackbird as the main heroine. This novel continues from the previous book in the series and cannot be read as a standalone. The author has a magnificent writing style that easily pulls readers in. I loved the fast pace and different scenery of this novel. Blackbird has been an amazing character to follow since book 1 and I have enjoyed watching her grow. I was very pleased with how this novel ended and hope there is more to her story from this author in the future. I recommend this book as well as the other books in this series.

Tracking Numbers is the first book in the Lost Boys MC and my first book by Janice M Whiteaker. I love MC romances and this fast-paced page-turner was no expectation.

The Embers We Seek: Prequel | War of Giants (A Rebel Princess Serial Book 1) by Acacia K. Parker – Review by Kerry Baker

The Embers We Seek (A Rebel Princess Serial, #1)The Embers We Seek by Acacia K. Parker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Embers We Seek: Prequel | War of Giants by Acacia K. Parker is the first episode in the Rebel Princess serial. Please take note that this story is due to be told over 10 “episodes”. Each episode is a small section of the story that will be concluded in the final one.
This is the first time I have a read a book in this format and I wasn’t sure how I was going today feel. But whether it is the story or this authors writing style not sure but I was blown away by how good it was. It feels like I have been given just a snippet of what is to come and it has left me desperate for the next episode.
The whole world that has been created is interesting and unique. I really found myself connecting with the characters and with what was happening.
And while I can see how for some it might be frustrating to have to wait for the next part but for me it has only served to whet my appetite. I’m sure the wait will be worth it!

Squall Line (The Inland Seas #1)Squall Line by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Squall Line is the first book in The Inland Seas series by Gwyn McNamee. Having read several books by this author before, I had high hopes for this book and the author definitely lived up to my expectations.
Although this is a contemporary romance novel, this book had so much action and suspense too. I was gripped into the story from the very first page and hooked right up to the end wondering how Warwick and his team were going to survive and escape the wrath of the evil Arturo.
The sexual chemistry which simmers between Warwick and Grace is compelling and you can’t help get drawn into the angst between the 2 of them.
I loved the other guys in Warwick’s team. They were not just secondary characters, they added so much to the story and I look forward to getting to know these guys better in the rest of this series.
I have to make one comment about the ending…WTF!! There better be more of Grace and Warwick in the remaining books in this series as there is one ‘little’ question I need the answer to. NOW!

Smoke & Mirrors (Nite Fire #3)Smoke & Mirrors by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was very excited to see this book! This is the third in the series. I would recommend reading the other two books before this one. It’s not necessary but there is a lot of reference to stuff that happened in them. In this one Dahlia and Creed are searching for whoever is leaving body parts all over the city. Yes I said body parts! Her sidekick Evans is back helping her all he can. Plus doing all those sidekick activities while looking for his sister.

This is a fast moving story full of action. It’s easy to read and follow along. The characters are full of zest and that Dahlia can wield a weapon. I have to say I was happy to see Coen in here. He is always so mysterious and sexy. The story answered many questions that arose in the last two stories.
On a side note I love that cover and the title. Both fit the story perfectly!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

What an AMAZING read!! I was drawn in from the very first word and I didn’t put the book down until I had devoured it entirely. I have really enjoyed this series so far but the author really took it to another level with this third book. I loved all the non-stop action and the twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat and my eyes glued to the pages, pages that I couldn’t turn fast enough. I loved Dianna and Anders and seeing them work together to solve the case in this story. The authors writing is excellent, the pace and flow of the story are perfect for the story. Cult is one of those stories that you actually cannot wait to read again, which for me doesn’t happen very often.
This story may be on the shorter side but believe me it is not short on anything at all! An outstanding 5 star read and I cannot wait to read more from this author again in the future.

Enemies of the Desert (Silent Secrets Series Book 3) by Lisette Kristensen

5 Stars

I totally devoured this book in less than an hour and hated when it ended. I have to start with I don’t normally read this type of genre but when I picked up the first of this series it hooked me within a few pages and here I am now totally invested in all of these characters.

This author has a way of taking a genre that normally holds no interest for me and keeps me somewhat confused and made it as easy to read and understand as some of my favorite genres.

You really must read all of these in order to understand the complete story and to understand Blackbird and how she got where she is and to just completely fall in love with her and admire her strength, I love how she is holding on to that small piece of herself that allows a bit of emotion to still enter in. I love her determination and totally understand her need for revenge even if it consumes her and goes against orders.

These stories all flow so smoothly and i actually wish they were all longer and I don’t know if there’s more coming but I’m praying there is, there’s more stories to tell and Halo completely fascinates me and I would love more about her and of course Blackbird and Adam.

Awesome book, Awesome Series, by an Amazing writer.

Loved It!!

Act I: Seed On Fire (Moore Family Saga Book 1) by Michele Sims – Review by Maura Harper

Act I: Seed On Fire (Moore Family Saga)Act I: Seed On Fire by Michele Sims
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

ACT 1: SEED ON FIRE is the first book in the “Moore Family Saga”. This is a multidimensional story with several story lines running at the same time.

The writing was very detailed and it is obvious the author plotted the story rather than writing a stream of consciousness. The story flows from beginning to end in a slow, even pace even though there is A LOT going on.

Because this is a spoiler free review I will not give specifics yet I will say that the whole thing was a bit over the top. Each story line on its own would be a decent read (dysfunctional sibling relationships, secret societies, stereotypical characters) but put together in such a detailed way had me.speeding through most of the book. At around 53% I almost DNF but really wanted to see how it all concluded.

I always always appreciate an author putting their ideas on paper. This book is well edited, had no plot holes and a very defined beginning, middle and end.

Beachcomber Enemy: a Romantic Thriller (Beachcomber Investigations Book 10) by Stephanie Queen – Review by Emily Walsh

Beachcomber EnemyBeachcomber Enemy
By: Stephanie Queen
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beachcomber Enemy by Stephanie Queen was an action packed, fast pace thriller that had me hooked form start to finish.

The latest instalment in the Beachcomber Investigations series, it was a blast right out of the gate. This book hit the ground running and it kept my attention right until the last page was flipped. I like these types of opening, that get your blood flowing, and the plot going right away. It makes for an exciting read, and on that keeps you, as I said, flipping the pages.

Dane and Shana are in danger, and that danger comes from Shana’s past. I loved the flip script, as at first it presented like it would be about Dane. The only thing I didn’t like was how over protective Dane was, I mean, I get it, your loved one is in danger, but man, that was a bit too much, and it almost risked their relationship. I mean Shana is a kickass woman, skilled and strong. There was a disconnect there, and it did take away from the story.

Overall this book was a wicket read, with a solid complex plot, mystery, action and movie worthy choreography, I’m looking forward to more books from this series. So to end, this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

This is a quick read where we get to see all our friends from the past books. This one is focused on Robin. Remember her? She is a minion to a low level demon. She always has done what she has been told. Except this time she doesn’t want to….what will happen to her?

This isn’t my first book by this author or in this series. The writing is spot on with her other stories. The characters are good continuations along with a bit of fun. The story flows nicely and it’s fun to find out about secondary characters. Im glad Robin got her story. I always wondered why she became a minion. You can easily read this as a stand alone or start at the beginning of the series for some Paranormal fun.

Dax and Cindel have an intense and undeniable connection that i found real. This book had romance, danger, action and suspense, and was written in a way that made it mentally visual and as though you was there living out the story with the characters. I highly recommend this book, but this is also a series that shouldn’t be missed!

Cult is the third book in the Feisty Lawyers series by Seelie Kay and by far my favorite in the series. In all reality, these books are my favorite genre and story lines. Seelie Kay is one of my favorite authors. Her ability to draw me in to the story with her portrayal of the characters make me feel like I am right with them. I feel close to Agent Diana Murphy like I could take her place if need be. This story is about the President’s goddaughter. She is missing and he has called Murphy and Mark to go in and take her back to safety. This takes some twists and turns and the simple “grab and go” turns into let’s hope everyone makes it out safely. Enjoy this story and keep your eyes open to enjoy the book even more.

Beachcomber Enemy: a Romantic Thriller (Beachcomber Investigations Book 10) by Stephanie Queen – Review by Michelle Mulvey

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beachcomber Enemy by Stephanie Queen is Book 10 of the Beachcomber Investigations Series. This book had me hooked from the very first line. The author gave just enough romance and action to keep just about any reader interested. The characters played a big part of why this book got 5 stars from me.

Dane and Shana are an awesome couple. They have a certain kind of relationship that you don’t see everyday. They love each other so much and try to protect each other no matter what is at stake. Dane is a total Alpha but Shana is such a strong character that really doesn’t need anyone to protect her.

When Dane comes home smelling gas, he goes I same trying to find Shana and get her out of the shack. They make it far enough away that they are not in danger when something happens. They fake their deaths and run to close friends did for help. They think they know who is after them. It’s someone from Shana’s past. They make a plan to go incognito to their funeral to try to find the suspect. However, Dane has other plans. He doesn’t want Shana anywhere near there and tries to keep her away. He should know by now that Shana does what she want, when she wants. She is not a delicate flower. When Dane and Shana find out some other information like where the suspect(s) are hiding, this causes even more trouble. Will the good guys win this round or are the bad guys to far ahead in the game. There is so much action going on, I didn’t want to put the book down. I absolutely loved this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great read about command. Robin Landon is a witch bound as a minion to demon Barbara Knollman and has done her bidding for five years. But when Barbara orders Robin to kill cameraman Jackson McKee, Robin struggles to carry out the order. When she refuses, Barbara hires a replacement killer and ups the deadline. Turning to reluctant allies, she comes up with a plan. Can she stop the killer before its too late and stand up to Barbara?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Robin standing up for herself but anxious underneath or Jackson as kind and caring but with more to him underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the sarcastic Evie or the supportive Catherine. A wonderful villain in Barbara manipulative and powerful that will send shivers up your spine. It was great to see her step out of the shadows from the last three books and beome even more dangerous and wonderfully written..
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the office with the high back chair and the desk lack of colour against the bright red of Barbara’s eyes contrasting perfectly. Or with Jacksons house with its wooden floors and comfortable furnishings for a homely feel. Or the scenes with magic later on full of colour and energy so vivid its as if youre actually there.
A great example of building upon the sequel with the addition of new fantasy creatures like the witches and the demon given the respect they deserve and true to their origins adding a sense of magic to this world and wonderfully written. I also liked the use of Barbara having premonitions, adding something new to the figure of the demon. The use of the linguistics of acting was a lovely touch and helped the reader understand. The combination of realism of offices and film sets and the fantasy of demons was combined perfectly and made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

Oh my-freaking-lanta!! Where has CS Duffy been? I was completely new to the author when I picked up Behind Blue Eyes, but I can say that I will be devouring everything I can get my hands on with this lovely author’s name attached! This book totally took me on a whirlwind of a trip to Sweden. It gripped my attention from the very get-go and didn’t let go until the surprising ending. If you love fast-paced crime novels with a dash of mystery and dark comedy then you will want to grab this book as soon as possible. I am so thrilled to find out that this is book one in the Stockholm Murders series and that there will be more to come from these characters! I will be stalking like no other for book two to be released.

Behind Blue Eyes brings up to Sweden, like I previously mentioned, and we find Ellie a smart, sassy, and confident investigative reporter deeply embedded in a new environment and facing some pretty crazy mysteries surrounding a body. Not only is Ellie facing that she is trying to adjust to a completely new land. Previously from London, Sweden is all new territory for her. Will she be able to find her place among the new home, or will she find herself regretting everything? There are several layers to this book, but some will just give away too much goodies and I can’t bear to spoil this for anyone! Trust me you need this book in your life. I have already added this to my re-read list for the summer! Thank you so much for the fabulous read CS Duffy!

This is the third book in the series but the second book by this author that I have read and I was just as engrossed in this book as I was the first. The author has a refreshing writing style and very unique characters. I just couldn’t put this book down.

The unique way that Kit and Sebastian meet makes this book so original. The chemistry between them is quite sizzling. I really like how the book isn’t predictable and has quite a realistic flow. I loved the fact that the characters were so believable and I could relate to them. This book was such a great read that I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

Act I: Seed On Fire (Moore Family Saga Book 1) By Michele Sims. This is my first book by this author but it definitely won’t be my last. From page one I found myself completely drawn into the lives of these amazing characters. I like the writing style it’s smooth and completely addicting. Like I I said I was hooked but I definitely wasn’t expecting the twists and turns the author brings reads but they were definitely welcomed. It’s paced nicely and never left me confused or needing more details. So glad I found this story and can’t wait to see where the author takes me next. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

I love it when you go into a book with little expectation and it completely blows you away – this is exactly what happened with Act I: Seed on Fire! I read the blurb and wasn’t quite sure but what a read! I loved it and couldn’t put it down! It was also a wonderful introduction to Michele Sims as an author – one whose work I will definitely be reading more of in the future!
The story was really well written and felt very real at times. The characters were really relatable and I can imagine some readers definitely being able to relate to some of the things Kaiden and Alicia went through. I felt like I really understood the depth of the relationship that these two had – this story really was an absolute pleasure to read. I loved reading the ups and downs of this newly married couple and watch them overcome the problems that arise. I felt like I was on this journey with them!
I am definitely eagerly awaiting the next book in the series!
