Rule (The Larussio Legacy Book 1) by Via Mari – Review by Maura Harper

Rule The Larussio Legacy (#1)Rule The Larussio Legacy by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

RULE is the first book in “The Larussio Legacy”; a new series by Via Mari. This is a spin off “The Prestian Series” and I always appreciate being re-introduced to previous characters to make way for new.

RULE is told in multiple POVs and once the cadence is grasped the story is easy to follow. This is classified as a romantic suspense and, as with other books by this author, there are twists and turns and mis-directions along the way.

I will absolutely be adding future installments of this series to my WTR pile.

Amy’s Santa (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1) by Manda Mellett – Review by Jonell Collins

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In Amy’s Santa, Satan’s Devils MC-Next Generation Book 1 by Manda Mellett we have a story about lost love and a tragic experience. It’s a fast and easy read. This is about courage and making a tough decision and seeing it through. It’s not only about love lost but its about love regained. It’s not only about a tragic experience but it’s also about overcoming it in spite of the fear and the anxiety. There is much to think about in this little novel. There is some strong language, steamy situations and some violence that some might find offensive. But there is much to be learned if you are a deep-thinking type.

I will preface this by saying this is not my go to genre to read, but I was drawn in by the cover and then the synopsis. I have to say I am so glad I made that jump to read this! It took just a bit to get used to the way of writing but then it just faded to the background and we were off on an amazing story.
I had parts i didn’t care for and others that were so good I had to read again, but these are my opinion and may be someone else’s in a different way.
I loved reading about Trotter and Alice.
I will be reading more from this author, very great story teller and helped me visualize this whole book in my head!

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne (Book 3) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Liz Vrchota

Magic-Borne (The Crown of Stones, #3)Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne, is the final and third book in the series form CL Schneider. I found this book to be a great conclusion to the series and just as fast paced and enthralling as the last two. These books are not standalone novels so I would read books one and two prior to finishing this review or other books first. Be prepared when you do pick this one up to carve out a chunk of time to devote to the story. It is a long winded novel at 500 something pages and I found myself looking at the clock in disbelief at 3 am because I just needed to know what happens next. Totally worth it though and the novel takes you on a wonderful and vivid adventure. There is a tad of something for every sci-fi lover in this one. From time travel, magic, and action that will have you on the edge of your seat. The characters are well developed and loveable even when you want to shake a few through the kindle screen. I look forward to seeing what will come next form CL Schneider and if it will be another fabulous sci-fi type novel or something with a new twist.

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was super excited to see that Satan’s Devils MC was getting a second generation series! I really enjoyed the first round of novels pertaining to the Satan’s Devils MC’s and was super thrilled to see we would get more stories from characters we love. I suppose you could read this as a standalone easily enough but I think it would be great to get to know the whole MC family before jumping into the next generation of stories.

This one was a super emotional read. I would probably say a small trigger warning is necessary for those that have sensitivities to violence and women getting abused. It was done so with class though so I think if you can read past it and not have anxiety you will see that it makes this story what it is as far as wrenching those emotions alive as you read. I won’t go into much more details other than Amy is a woman that I just wanted to scoop up and hug away her pain. The supporting characters are just as fabulous to read and I am hoping that there isn’t much of a wait to get the next story in the series. The cute addition of being around a lovely time of year that emotes so much joy and happiness for many was just a shiny bonus. Oh but that Santa hat y’all… love it super cute twist without being cheesy or something I only would want to read once a year. Can’t wait to see what is next!

Book 6! Who would have thought this series would keep going! Dark mystery, violent murders, sadness…all the negative feels. No rainbows here!

O’Flynn writes mystery horror stories. I wanted to mention that she’s the Stephen King of Indie but then there’s a reference in the story and that might not be the compliment I mean it to be! I love her twisted way of writing. Page turning even in the gruesomeness of it all.

I would never want to live in a place like Ash Park but if I did I would want these detectives there battling for good, trying to safe human-kind!

I recommend this story, heck this whole series. But you must read it all in order. You won’t be sorry. Such a great story!

Jax Marlin to catch a Marlin By T.K. Toppin is a futuristic crime novel about a female Vigilante Jax Marlin and Inspector Pedroni who is determined to catch her. Pedroni chases Jax into space literally to try and find her. There’s a little romance, plenty of action and a great story line.

Inspector Michael Pedroni is a stickler for following protocol and catching the bad guy and he can’t help but feel and attraction to the Sexy Vigilante who is always one step ahead.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MAGIC-BORNE is the third book in “The Crown of Stones” trilogy. This is a series that has to be read in order. You would be doing yourself and the series a disservice if you read it all wily nily out of order.

This was the (I believe) the longest book of the trilogy and it took me a bit to read it. I was reading the books one right after the other, but I found I had to pick this one up and down a few times to be able to finish it. There is a lot going on… Action, adventure, intrigue, redemption and time travel.

The overall arch of the trilogy was well plotted. These three books together form an epic fantasy adventure with very clear cut beginning, middle and end. i would guess this author is NOT a “pantser” and probably has a timeline with pins and threads tying everything together.

While this is the end of Ian’s story, there is room for more. The universe this trilogy is set in has lots of untold stories and I feel like it could go on for a bit more.

I recommend this series and thing it would be an enjoyable read from YA to Elder.

This is a fantasy novel involving gods, magical beings and humans. It is unlike anything that I have read before. It truly is a unique and original story. Reality isn’t always what it seems, it depends on who’s telling the story. Trotter is a demi god trying to understand her powers and trying to control them while being a fourteen year old girl. A war is coming that can tear the world apart and its up to her to save it. All the while there is a little girl that’s reshaping reality with her childish dreams and wishes. Unfortunately a six year old doesn’t realize the world is bigger than what’s around her. With the gods fighting amongst themselves and the human world caving in upon itself, can Trotter find the strength to stop the evil that is awakening and save a child’s hopes and dreams?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great read about temptation. Natalie is busy trying to organise the wedding of Cyrus Sweet and Jolie Cox, the owners of Spicetopia. To make things worse, Cyrus’s family have ordered a vicar who is very religious to officiate the wedding. The vicar, Micah struggles to accept the world of Spicetopia and battles with his attraction to Natalie. Can he keep to his duties or will he surrender to desire?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Micah naive but stubborn or Natalie confident but vulnerable underneath.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the theme park with the castle and palm trees for the luxurious and beautiful feel of the theme park. Or with the theatre with its colorful vases and the carvings of dragons intricate and colourful and beautiful. Or the scene in the love tunnel with the fairy lights making it magical.
The switch of perspectives worked well to display both sides of the story and was easy to follow with names in the chapter titles. I also liked the use of contrasts with religion versus sex and a vicar in an unusual setting. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Angela Hayes

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6)Recall: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Recall is the brilliant sixth book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. This thriller is a fantastic addition to the series- I was glued to the pages from beginning to end, reading it in one sitting- and absolutely loved every mind twisting minute.
The series has been such a fantastic read. It could be read as a standalone, but there are recurring characters and snippets of backstory and previous information which play a part in this book, so reading all the other books would give you a larger, more developed perspective- which in turn will enhance your overall reading experience. The books are all really great- quite intriguing, intense, and suspenseful, so reading them all is definitely a plus for you!
This series just goes from strength to strength, each book delivering an intense, gripping, and polished read. And, as I have said numerous times now, I am so impressed with Ms. O’Flynn’s ability to spin an incredibly clever thriller- her books just get better and better as the series has evolved. The amount of tension, suspense, shocks, and brilliant twists, surprises, and puzzling situations that she manages to infuse into each story, really makes me sit up and take notice- always unpredictable right up till the end- whilst delivering a heart pounding, stomach clenching, and mind-blowing read.

Thank you, Ms. Flynn!!!

This book is a great illustration of loving through obstacles and disappointments. Jonathan and Charlotte (Charlie) are real, faulty, proud, and stubborn characters. Their lack of communication is by far the biggest obstacle I could see. They have a deep and abiding love for each other and their kids, but neither wants to open up and be vulnerable. This story is not a high pace action romance, but instead presents realistic problems and issues sprinkled with the joy and love of adorable kids. There is plenty of humor mixed into to keep it from being dark. This story will take you through many emotions, but it you will definitely be rooting for the parents to wisen up and take advice from their kids.

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn is a suspense thriller and another story where Detective Edward Petrosky is out to catch the killer, but we get to see the softer side to him as well. I have enjoyed this character and is no nonsense ways and his thoughts make me laugh at times. Meghan has once again cleverly constructed a story that is full of tension and suspense, intrigue and thrills and I was glued to the pages from beginning to end. Meghan also addressed the issue of mental illness and those dealing with the fallout of once being at war.

Petrosky has lost so much and is finally pulling himself together for the women in his life. His way of thinking is clever, and he works hard to catch the killers but he also loses a little bit more of himself in the process. He is also a softy who will always help those who need a little more.

I am looking forward to what the next book has in store for us.

This is a relatable story because of the well written characters. The author makes what could be a cold, dry subject into something enjoyable and interesting. Leda is great even though she makes some poor decisions. I think this is part of what makes her so enduring. She is young and in a foreign country but making the most of her opportunities.

Once Again, C.L. Schneider has done it again in the continuation of Ian Troy’s story. I like how it didn’t immediately pick up where the last book was left off, but that only made me starving to know just what happened, and was trying to put the pieces together just as Ian himself was. I have to say it’s not often that a sequel is as good as it’s first book, but this one took the crown home. With her World Building, descriptions, and attention to detail and not afraid to be graphic some times, This was just as brilliant of a take on the fantasy genre as her first one. I am eager to see how it all concludes in the third and final book, which I am about to start reading the second I finish this review. I recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy and even to those who usually aren’t fantasy folks, you need to give this one a try.

Much like Ian Troy, I too have an addiction to magic, though mine is confined within pages of fantasy novels, and this was no exception, if anything it only made my addition worse. It begins with your usual fantasy good vs evil but as the story unfolds, and more background and world building is done, it becomes so much more than that. Schneider did such an amazing job taking the fantasy novel and making it her own. The building of the background material and the world made me want more and more. I loved how it wasn’t all just so simple black and white with how everything was meant to be, but that it touched on all the Grey area in between. I will be the first to say all magic comes with a price, but it’s a price worth paying to read this book.

This is a Suspenseful romance. Packed with hot steamy romance as well as a suspenseful rollercoaster. Be warned it is not over until you read the last page. This book is not for those under 18, due to adult content. There will be no spoilers in this review.

Sam, aka, (Renegade), is a former military man that has joined a mercenary team. All is well, until he gets a call from a friend (Sparrow) who is a cop. We all know what that leads too. Somebody, aka (Eliza), has been assaulted and left for dead. Sparrow,(her brother) needs his help, in keeping Eliza safe and protected. Sparrow has been taken off the case. But needs Renegades help. Problems could arise when they are in hiding. Will they build a romance or fight every step of the way? Will they catch the stalker?

Raven White has written this first book in The Mercenaries Series. This is the first book and it takes off on page 1. It is well written and filled with suspense. Raven White is new to me, but I can already say, I’m going to enjoy this series. You can’t help but fall in love with her characters. Her blending suspense with romance was a real rollercoaster of a ride. This alone will keep you reading. I for one am looking forward to her next book in this series.

The story Dagda’s Daughter (Raven and Hummingbird Book 2) by Nikki Broadwell is a wonderful book. I truly enjoyed reading it. It has mythology, spells, gods, and danger. The story had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the character of Katel. She is the daughter of the Celtic god Dagda. Dagda is trying to keep control over her, which is becoming harder and harder to do. Katel is kind, caring, and strong. I found Dagda so be manipulative and selfish. What does the future hold for Katel? Dagda has committed illegal actions. What will this mean to all worlds? Read this book to find out. This story had me glued to the pages and not wanting to put the book down until I had read the last page. There are additional characters that are introduced and while some of them are helpful to Katel, there are others who have their own agenda and plans. Katel is a character that is likable, and I found myself caring about what happens to her and that she is happy. This is a story that I would highly recommend reading.

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy grew up on the Satan’s Devils Motorcycle club compound. Drew found himself part of the club when his sister married a member. Despite their ten-year age difference, Amy and Drew became good friends. When Amy was 7 and Drew was 17, Amy became accompanied him to museums and ice cream shops. When he was 19, Drew instilled a love of horses into a 9-year-old Amy. At 14, Amy found it hard to accept that a 24-year-old Drew was going out on dates. At 17, Amy wanted to be the one Drew wanted to date. Amy’s father was having no part of that and made sure Drew made it clear that he was not interested in Amy to halt her endless flirting. At 18, a heart-broken Amy left home to pursue college and career in another city.

When Amy comes home at the age of 27, so much has changed. Life has taught her many lessons and she is still recovering from having her trust shattered. Coming home from Christmas and having to face her family is hard. While she knows her father, or any club brother for that matter, would help her deal with her problem, she feels ashamed and doesn’t want to get them involved. What she doesn’t count on is the boy she loved growing up now being the man in charge the Satan’s Devils…or that this man would ask her for the one thing she is having a hard time finding again, trust. Can Amy trust Drew? Can she find herself again? Or is she broken beyond repair?

From what I can tell, this story is the furthering of stories previously written about this motorcycle club. I found myself falling in love with the characters and wanting to know more of their back story. I was rooting for Amy and Drew, while hoping that Amy would see herself as a survivor and allow herself to heal and find happiness again. This was a good read that made me crave more of this world. I will definitely be looking into the other books in this series!

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6)Recall: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. This is the sixth book in this series I have read and it is my favorite. I highly suggest reading all of the previous books in this series. Like the previous books, this one is full of suspense, mystery and murder. The characters bring the story to life and made me feel as if I was right there. This is a sitting on the edge of your seat type book and it will keep you turning pages. Find out if Detective Petrosky has met his match with this murder. This is a must read.
