To Kill a Fae (The Dragon Portal Book 1) by Jamie A. Waters – Review by Bobbi Wagner

To Kill a Fae (The Dragon Portal Series, #1)To Kill a Fae by Jamie A. Waters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. When I first opened this book the first thing that I see is a very pretty fae at the top of the chapter. For me this set the tone for the book and I was pulled in after that. The characters are connectable and brought the story to life. Sabrina is tasked with stealing an item but in order to break the barrier protecting it she may have to put herself in danger. I recommend reading this book to find out what happens next.

The Men of Holmby Hills: Chase (The Holmby Hills Series Book 1) by Allyson Simonian – Review by Angela Hayes

The Men of Holmby Hills: ChaseThe Men of Holmby Hills: Chase by Allyson Simonian
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

The Men of Holmby Hills: Chase, is the first book in The Holmby Hills series by Allyson Simonian. It is a short story- and made for a quick and easy read. It is a contemporary romance- with drama, a touch of mystery, secrets, and realizing what’s truly important. I though this was a good story, but it didn’t grab me the way some of Ms. Simonian’s other work has done. I don’t really know why exactly, perhaps I am just having an ‘off’ day. But this is what I came away feeling. The story did feel a little rushed in places, and some of the story/situations were skimmed over and I felt like I didn’t really get the chance to immerse myself in the story because everything happened so quickly, too quickly at times. I would have liked to have read a slightly longer version of this book, so the characters got more of a chance to develop and grow- I’m not saying that there wasn’t any depth to the story or characters, because there was some, but Not enough to have me invest in them and their story. I did prefer the second half of the book to the first halt- as there was some drama, a touch of danger, and a little more action- which gave the story an added interest.
Chase is a well-known actor working on a popular series. His immature ways, playboy ways, and thoughtless actions have given him some bad press of late and his image is in serious need of an overhaul. When he meets Carrie, she’s like a breath of fresh air- and he’s immediately drawn to her. He asks her out- and one date soon leads to more. A whirlwind romance ensues, followed by a trip down the aisle. But when secrets are revealed it shatters her trust and everything starts crumbling around them.
Carrie is a high school history teacher when she meets Chase on set. She is completely smitten by him and can’t believe this sexy celebrity is showing any interest in her. Everything happens so fast, one minute they’re dating and the next they’re married. But life with a celebrity isn’t everything she’d imagined it would be.- there are some serious drawbacks, especially when he’s so self-centred. She starts to feel a little lost, withdrawn and unsure of herself. She really doesn’t feel comfortable in his world- not that he’s doing anything to try to make things easier for her. Finding out a few ‘truths’ shocks her back into reality. But where do they go from here? Chase has some serious changes to make if he wants to fix things. Will he even be bothered? And if he is, will it be too little too late?
I really didn’t like Chase for most of the book, and he only just redeemed himself a little by the end. He really is everything the blurb says- spoiled, arrogant, self centred, selfish, pompous, career driven, and very immature. I couldn’t believe the way he treated Carrie- she was so sweet, understanding, shy, and smart. So, she really didn’t deserve the way he treated her. But I felt a little better about everything with the way the story ended- with hope and love.
If you want to know what happens with Chase and Carrie, you really should read all the details for yourself!

Thank you, Ms. Simonian!

This story caught me at the first page. There is a chemistry that causes sparks between Will and Rusty that let me see their relationship like a vision. I am not a huge western setting reader, get enough of that on old tv, but Ms. Scott used her incredible talent to give this one FIRE! This book took me away from the reality of my life today and I had a terrible time trying to make myself put it down! Her writing style is brilliant and easy to read.

It all starts when the National News picks up the news story that Merit has a Gang War going on. What the paper failed to mention is that the gangs are 4th graders and actually best friends. Stanley Grace the Sheriff of the town who never has excitement like this is thrown in the spotlight. The gangs are called the Upper and Lower Jelly River gangs. There is also a circus in town and we get to meet all the weird characters. But when real danger shows up will the Sheriff be able to handle it before someone gets really hurt?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book by C.A. King and while fantasy is not my go to genre, this was a pretty good story. It does not have a happy ending but instead it ends making you want to know what is going to happen. I look forward to book 2 and checking out other stories by this author.

The plot of this story is different and interesting. Losing all the fish in the ocean is believable, sad but still believable…the part of Evil Sushi, however not so much. The characters seem to be down on their luck thanks to big companies and government taking over everything. I look forward to seeing if the tables turn in the next book.

Fans of fantasy will sure to enjoy this story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful second story in this series. While this deals with a heavy subject and it was done very nicely. Each of the two MC have dealt with abuse in one form or another. As they came to terms they realized they held an affection for each other. I liked seeing these two deals with their problems and figure out how to move forward. It takes friends and the love of family and these two have both.

It was great seeing The other Lawsons and finding out how Jamie and Kira are doing. Plus we get a look at Ben and how he is dealing with his life now. I look forward to Bens story.

This is the second book by this author for me. I like how she puts the story together and deals with major issues. It’s nice that they don’t dominate the story so we can feel for these characters and enjoy them moving forward.

For centuries their sole purpose has been guarding the sealed gates to hell. Without keys, there was never any real threat. That was about to change…

With a trusty lasso at his side, he’ll take on all comers in a fight to the finish in order to prove his worth. There’s no heading home empty-handed, when he already lives in the shadows of his siblings. A couple of days and a handful of puns is all he needs to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Bekka knows exactly what it’s like to be invisible and has her best friend, Veronica, to thank for it. All her life, she’s been too frightened to seize the moment, especially when it came to her music and love.

THE DARKNESS HOLDS MORE THAN JUST SECRETS…

Marked for death, Sabine escaped from her home more than ten years ago.
But the Wild Hunt will never give up.
It should have been easy to stay hidden. All Sabine had to do was keep her head down, avoid telling anyone about her past, and above all else — not let her glamour drop.
Even the best-laid plans eventually fall apart.
When a charismatic stranger arrives in the city, Sabine finds herself unwittingly drawn to him and the power she can sense hidden within him. Keeping her distance is nearly impossible, especially after a life debt is called due and she’s tasked into helping steal a rare artifact.
Sabine is the only one who can break the magical barriers protecting the item, but that means revealing the truth about her identity and exposing her darkest secrets.
Unfortunately, the Fae aren’t the only ones hunting her.
And the most dangerous monsters aren’t always confined to the dark.

Not Fade Away: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 4Not Fade Away: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 4 by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s difficult to say what I like best about this book. It resonated with me because our hero, Rafe, in this story is dealing with a real life situation as best he can. It’s a situation that I myself am experiencing at this time . It’s difficult emotionally to care for an aging parent and it was quite refreshing to see this addressed in a good science fiction story. I could identify with him and it made the story comforting and made my own burden seem somewhat lighter.In Not Fade Away, once again Donna S. Frelick gives us a strong hero and heroine. Charlie is very confident and sure of herself. She, like all good caregivers, knows there’s more than one patient. It was such a good story I’m pretty sure I will be reading it again.

VIRTUE AND VICE follows SUGAR AND SPICE and it is super important to read S&S first because it is an integral part of the story. Can you read V&V as a stand-alone? Sure, but I think the background from the first story is important in the second.

Once again, this author writes a super steamy story that involves going after ones dreams and desires. The timeline moves quickly and is easy to follow.

This is definitely one of those reads that you could read aloud to your spouse for a little spice.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have a bookshelf in my “library” (my husband calls it my hideout) that is dedicated to paperbacks written by this author. I love her books and and often wonder how her imagination comes up with some of the stories.

EVIL SUSHI is the first book in a new series. It has a very interesting premise, one which has very real aspects to it (over fishing and corporate greed, climate change, weird fish) and some fantastical aspects also (oh please let them be fantasy and not reality). This is a very detailed read that I could visualize while I was reading along. There is great character development and world building along with so many other elements that I could go on and on but I don’t like to “recap” the entire book.

I will say that this is one of my favorite books (WHEN LEAVES FALL being my absolute favorite) that I have read by this author.

I absolutely recommend this story!
I look forward to the next installment in the series and may never eat Sushi OR Sashimi again.

Evil Sushi by C.A. King is a unique thriller where things go bump in the night. It’s like one of those movies where you watch it behind your hands but it doesn’t make any difference and it doesn’t go away. If they aren’t zombies and they aren’t the walking dead, what the h*ll are they? Beware what you don’t understand.

This chilling read will leave goose bumps on your arms and you find yourself checking the shadows and under the bed. I knew there was a reason I don’t eat seafood!

So this being my first read by this author I was super excited about it. Lets just say I can’t wait to read another.

This story was so unique and grabbed me right from the start. I went in blind, only seeing the beautiful cover so had no idea besides Ailey who this book was about. I was shocked when I learned who Brodie was and that’s about the time I was totally invested..There were a lot of moving parts to this story and there were times I was worried that things would become predictable, well no reason to worry, there was nothing predictable about this story.

I loved everything about it, the location, the characters, the other characters coming to life within the story with their own stories and the awesome twists and turns and ah ha moments I had. This book flowed so nicely and I loved the flawed main character and her fight in life to find out who she is after battling some pretty tough issues only to find herself battling ones she never even knew about.

I experienced many emotions while reading this and have already recommended it to another, I seriously can’t wait to read more from this author.

4 Stars

I have read many novels by C.A King and loved them all. This book was weird but in a good way. The concept was so original, I loved it. The story takes place some time in the future. Humans saved the animals and the climate but destroyed the ecosystem under our oceans. By not eating meat, people overfished to compensate and now there are barely any fish left. In a small town on the Eastern Coast, two fishermen trudge out to sea in hopes of catching something to at least feed their family. What happens next will definitely take you by surprise. Excitement soon turns to trepidation and eventually leads to horror. With everything happening in the world today, can this be a possibility in our world? Although the book is fictional, it does make you think. Looking forward to seeing what happens in part two.

I liked that this book took pollution and issues with climate change to the extreme to create a world almost completely void of ocean life. It made for the fascinating creation of the Evil Sushi.

Evil SushiEvil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Evil Sushi is the first book in the incredible new series, Evil Sushi, by the very talented C.A King. This is such an original and clever story, unlike anything I have read before. It has elements of paranormal, sci-fi, horror, action, dystopia, adventure, thriller, mystery, and suspense. With environmental and political issues and agendas, discoveries, grudges, fishing with a twist, danger, good vs evil, small town setting, conspiracies, desperation, greed, secrets, pandemic, mutation, anger, mistakes, hidden agendas, merpeople/mermaids, fishermen, monsters, and enough intrigue to keep you hooked right till the very end.
This is such an imaginative, unique, incredibly detailed, and well written story. Ms. King has a very compelling and dynamic style- full of vivid descriptions and woven with lots of texture and complexities. Her scene setting and world creation is quite superb, and her words have a ‘visual’ quality to them, which brings anything she writes to life. Because Ms. King has mastered so many different genres, and her books always have a bit of a twist, I never really know exactly what I will be getting into once I embark on one of her stories. But I am always guaranteed of an engaging and fascinating read. And one thing I know for sure after reading most of her extensive catalogue of books, is that her imagination knows no bounds, and she seems to have a limitless well of wonderful ideas and storylines to draw on and inspire her creativity. She never ceases to amaze me.
The story definitely entertained me, but it also really made me think, by highlighting current environmental issues and giving possible future outcomes to ponder- then adding plenty of surprises, a few twists, some humour, and just a dash of crazy into the mix.
I had a lot of fun reading “Evil Sushi” and discovering this threat to humanity- and am very intrigued to see where this series is headed now. Bring on “Sashimi”!!!

Thank you, Ms. King!
