Unchained Memory by Donna S. Frelick
(The Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1)
My rating 4 out of 5 stars

This book was a wonderful read. Not normally my style but I got hooked. The characters are very well written and the storyline is incredible. A nice mix of romance, action and sci fi.

I really liked the character of Asia, she is such a strong woman and that really shows with her determination to fight and regain her memories. Ethan was touch and go for a while but, I grew to like him and, more importantly, liked him for Asia. All of the drama and action revolving around this couple such as the kidnappers and alien abductions makes for a crazy ride, and I enjoyed every moment.

I would recommend this book, there is so much going on and various twists and turns the book takes that anyone will become addicted to the story.

Bound (The Torzial Affair Book 2)Bound by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bound is the second book in Via Mari’s Torzial Affair series (that is a spin-off of her Prestian Series). You cannot read it as a standalone and I recommend you read the Prestian Series as well as it provides you with many of details that make you to enjoy it so much more.
Jenny is in a pickle and it is an understatement of the century – she is accused of murdering her ex and as a result she is thrown into the dispute between mafia groups. We learn so much more about her and her time with her ex and it explain so much … It is also great to see how Brian is growing from one book to another and how it helps him to take the true control of the situation AND of Jenny. I love how much more detail there is to Jenny and Brian in this second book and let’s not forget about how much more we learn about Matt the original protector …
The writer leaves us craving for the next book where we hopefully find out whether it will work between Jenny and Brian and whether Brian will be able to completely commit to Jenny and Jenny to completely to submit to him …

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Siren’s Call: Cursed Seas by Amy McKinley 5 stars.

This book was phenomenal! The story itself is so complex and woven into a delicate pattern of one girl’s life and what she must endure. This book starts out as a girl living in a fishing village. She lives alone with her father and must be married off soon. Instead of letting her father have the complete choice, she decides to take matters into her own hands and find someone herself to coax into a good marriage. When a stranger comes along, she is swept off her feet. But he never mentions marriage.

This would be the end of some books, but there was so, so much more to go. I had no idea where this adventure would take me next. Turns out, I was on a train ride with so many twists and turns. There is an incredible amount of story that happens after this. I do not want to give any more away, but Nerissa learns just what she really is and the truth about those she loves. It seems everyone has lied to her. And you won’t believe just how she handles this!

Besides the story itself, the characters are believable and interesting. I really liked Nerissa’s friends and family. I would have liked to have seen more of Zeer’s direct family though. They are mentioned and even explained who they are and their backstories, but I would have like to have seen them have a more interactive role in the story. But that is a small thing. This book blew me away and I highly recommend it to those who like to read about a strong female character in a fantasy/supernatural book.

5 Stars!!!!!

I was not let down by this second book in the series. I really couldn’t put the book down. The authors have done such a great job of continuing the story line and bringing the characters to life. I felt as though I was in the midst of the action.

I found myself going through all the emotions Lorelei experienced. I can relate to the situation where she has her old love whom is now lost to her even though he is there with her and her new love. I can relate to the conflict she feels and I can appreciate the choices she needs to make to move on. I really like how the characters all seem to fit in and the drama unfolds between them. I really look forward to reading more from this series as I am so interested to see how things unfold.

Finding Ruth: A Daughter’s Quest to Discover Her Mother’s Past by Cynthia Hamilton – Review by Kerry Baker

Finding RuthFinding Ruth by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Ruth A Daughter’s Quest to Discover Her Mother’s Past by Cynthia Hamilton is a book so heart breaking and heart warming all at the same time. The author delves deep into her own mothers past to learn more about the person she thought she knew.
I loved the fact that this was about Cynthia’s own mother. For me it really made the connection you forge as a reader that much deeper. It added a whole new level of emotion to the book as you imagined what she must have been thinking discovering all this new information.
Although it is completely different from anything else I have read by this author I have to say it is definitely my favourite. It is rare to be given such an insight into an author and her life and I feel like that is exactly what Cynthia Hamilton invites with this book. I cannot recommend this book enough!

Beau & Bett by Kathryn Berla – Review by Angela Hayes

Beau and BettBeau and Bett by Kathryn Berla
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Beau and Bett by Kathryn Berla is a young adult contemporary romance, which has a bit of a Beauty and the Beast feel to it, but with a modern twist. It is a sweet story that reverses the traditional roles in the classic Beauty and the Beast. It was definitely an interesting take on the classic fairy tale- and as I have read several of Ms. Berla’s books now, so I was happy to jump in and follow along.
Ms. Berla wrote the story in such a way that it felt ‘current’, entirely realistic, and believable. I liked Beau, but I couldn’t quite connect with Bett which made it difficult for me to like her- even though I really wanted to.
As with all Ms. Berla’s stories, his book delivers a great message- about family, friendship, being true to yourself, standing up for yourself, speaking up, and being heard.

Thank you, Ms. Berla!

Love Me, Dreamy
By Laura Burton.
5 of 5 Stars!

Although this is not my usual genre, I loved it! The story of Amelia and Toby is both mysterious and enchanting. It took awhile to really make some of the pieces of the story make sense. I remained slightly confused until about two-thirds of the way through, I still couldn’t put it down!
Ms. Burton’s vivid storytelling helped to hook me into the story and later to help clear up my confusion by tying the story together in the end. Amelia’s inner turmoil of what happens to her and her struggle with the difference in their ages are only a small portion of he twists that pulled me as a reader into the story.
This YA Romance is an interesting tale full of twists and turns, beginning with the appearance of the mysterious men in black suits. I strongly recommend grabbing your copy today and experience it for yourself!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Via Mari again created another amazing book with Bound, the second book in the Torzial Affair series. This follows Jenny and Brian as they start a life together. The pain the Jenny feels from her rape, jumps off the pages and right into your heart. You can feel her pain and her struggle so clearly. The story of Jenny and Brian is intense, and I could not put it down. These two have such chemistry yet there is so much distrust and doubt.
Via Mari has a way to write books so strong and pull you in right away and this book is just another example. I love how she is making this relationship with Jenny and Brian grow at the right pace after what she has gone through. I truly cannot wait to read more in this series and more of her journey to healing. I give this book five stars and highly recommend.

Unchained Memory ( Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1)Unchained Memory by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First off, I’d like to give Kudos to this author for choosing a book cover that had characters that perfectly matched their written description. So many times I will be engrossed in a book and learn the girl character has long brown hair… just to close the book and see a blonde girl on the cover. Now I’ll commence my review.
Unchained Memory by Donna S. Frelick is the first book of the Interstellar Rescue Series. I read this novel as a challenge to myself, as it made me step way out of my comfort zone, because I have never read any book that truly contained science fiction elements. I’m thrilled to say that I am happy with the book I chose. I have no regrets in getting this book, nor was it hard for me to read it.
The book starts with Asia who has suffered a tremendous loss and can’t remember what she did for the three hours in the meantime. She starts seeing a therapist, Ethan, who is trying to help her either remember what happened during those hours or realize its insignificance and move on. During their sessions they start to develop deeper feelings for one another. Ultimately things get hard for them as they have people that start following them. As they run, they find out more and more of the truth.
This book had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I adored the relationship between Asia and Ethan. As soon as I thought I knew what was going to happen next I would turn the page and be shocked to my core. I was so emotionally invested in this book, that after putting it down at night to sleep, my mind would run over all the scenarios. Donna is a brilliant author. Her character descriptions were immaculate and the story line just contained sooo much and it just flowed together effortlessly.

  • This book is by far one of my favorite. I love the way McKinley weaves this world with a little bit of Myth, Magic, Monsters, and Mermaids. There are a couple places where the story could’ve used a bit more transition, and other times it could’ve used a little less detail. But it didn’t take away from the overall story. I seriously could not put this book down. I read it in just one evening. Very good job. 4 stars.View all my reviews

Unchained Memory: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1 by Donna S. Frelick is a Sci Fi thriller that is a compelling mystery romance and a great start to the series. What would you do if you lost three hours? Three hours where you have no idea what happened or where you were. What happens when the dreams or is it reality? threatens to steal your sanity.

Asia Burdette wakes to find she has lost three hours of her life and when she arrives home she finds her life has been turned upside down with something that will haunt her for the rest of her life. But when she decides she needs help, what she stumbles upon is more than she ever thought was real and will change the way she sees the world.

Ethan is a psychiatrist and wants to help everybody but when he realises that there are a few that he has been unable to help he realises that they may all have the same thing in common.

Together they find something that is far bigger than themselves and shakes their beliefs and understanding of what is out there, and it is this that means that danger his hot on their heels.

I look forward to what is to come.

Beau & Bett by Kathryn Berla is a five star novel. This is my second novel by this author and I have loved them both! This was like a modern day yelling of Beauty and the Beast. The roles are reversed, but it still did the trick! When we are introduced to Beau, his family is struggling. With dad out of work and all the bills piling up and mom having an accident, Beau knows he needs to do something to help out. When he goes to the estate of the rich kid his mom had an accident with, he asks them for a job to pay the bill to fix the car. Little does he know how awful Bett can be. As he gets to know her more, he realizes there is much more to her life than just being an awful, spoiled rich girl.

Proper Impulse (Jaded Lily Book 4) by Zeia Jameson.
4 out of 5 stars
Milo Cipriani. What a strong name. If I was a dude, I would want a name like Milo Cipriani. Proper Impulse is the 4th installment in the Jaded Lily series. This series is amazing. We first meet Milo in the previous books and I will be honest, he wasn’t left on pretty terms.
Milo is a police officer who takes his job very, very seriously. He is stern, uptight and a stick shoved up his rear. He meets his match when he comes face to face with his exact opposite, Juniper. Juniper is free-spirited, fun loving and will wear her heart on her sleeve. She is willing to bend the rules just a little if it means doing the right thing in the long run.
Opposites really do attract in this blizzard meeting of Milo and Juniper. This book is dual point of view, which is very refreshing and gives unique insights to each character as the development grows with and between each one.
This book can be read as a standalone. Myself, I highly recommend reading all books in series order as the author intended.
Beautiful story, fantastic characters and another ballpark smash for Ms. Jameson.

The story of Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite tales and this did keep the spirit of the story despite all the changes. I am glad that the author took the liberty to make it her own and not just change one detail. I did miss some of my favorite parts of the original but did enjoy this as well.

Finding RuthFinding Ruth by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Ruth is not my typical type of go to read, often biographical books just tend to not keep my attention quite the way fiction books do. However, I adore Cynthia Hamilton and her Madeline Dawkins novels have really been some of my absolute favorites that I have read this year so I decided I needed to give this one a go as well. I am so glad that I did. It was eloquently written story that I never expected to grasp me by the heartstrings quite the way that it did.

Finding Ruth tells the life story of Ruth, Hamilton’s mother. I can’t imagine how that must have felt to do, especially with knowing the outcome of the life secrets and trials she would unearth. I loved how this never failed to stay real, it was quite frankly raw and beautiful in all its scarred edges. I really ended up absolutely admiring Ruth for the life she managed to live, and give to three children on her own. It makes you feel really lucky to have the things I do as a mother, I couldn’t imagine doing without some of the basics like Ruth does so often. There isn’t really a negative comment I could make about this novel. I would highly recommend that you scoop it up! I can’t wait to see what will come from the ever talented Cynthia Hamilton.
