The Seal of Solomon: A Lilandra Reeves Adventure (Supernatural Intelligence Agency: World Book 2)The Seal of Solomon: A Lilandra Reeves Adventure by Nadine Travers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

The Seal of Solomon: A Lilandra Reeves Adventure (Supernatural Intelligence Agency: World, Book 2)) is by Nadine Travers. After reading Blood Rebellion (Book One), as well as getting a snippet for this book at the end of that story, I was really anticipating reading this book.
Let me start by saying that I absolutely love the cover- even if I hadn’t read Book One, I would have snapped up this story just on that cover alone.
As with the previous book- this is an urban fantasy- with supernatural elements, action, adventure, suspense, drama, danger, intrigue, and mystery. It is fast paced short story, which makes for quick and easy reading. Like book one, I really wish this book had been longer- as I would have loved to have been able to immerse myself in the story more. This is a super quick and easy read- but I felt the story may have had more of an impact if it had been able to fully ‘develop’ with more length to the plot.
I did enjoy this story, and feel it is the pick of the series, so far.
Looking forward to reading Juniper’s stories!

Thank you, Nadine Travers.

Sweet Salvation by Toya Richardson
Four Stars

Sweet Salvation is the third book in The Protectors Series by Toya Richardson. This is my first book by Toya Richardson so I didn’t know if I would understand some parts, since I was jumping in to book three in the series. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it and had no problems understanding the storyline. However, the book was so well written I will be going back to read the first two books. This Shifter Romance had me hooked from the very first page and I read it in one sitting. It is full of action, suspense and romance. I have found over the past three or four months that I Love Shifter books and have been reading more and more of them. Manuela and Josh are strong characters that are relatable. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are a fan of paranormal romance. I look forward to going back and reading the first two books in the series.

This series, to date, has proven to be a must read for all fantasy lovers. This latest installment does not disappoint. I love the juxtaposition of the world of Fae with mythology troves. Broadwell does a fantastic job weaving this story line and further developing Kat and her relationship with Bran. I was spellbound from beginning to end and cannot wait to read this book again. Just wonderful.

Throwback was my first book by Zeia Jameson, and it won’t be my last. The cover and synopsis of this story are what attracted me to this book This book spoke to me in so many ways because I deal with a lot of the same feelings and its truly is a struggle at times within my marriage. This book follows Livy and Jeremy’s story and you will not be able to put it down until the last page and then you will still want more. I found myself on an emotional train with these two. The author does an amazing job with ensuring you feel like you are there experiencing this with them, the emotions are raw and passionate, and they are relatable. This is a book worth reading.

This story is just as good if not better than thought it would be. This is the third book and it is my suggestion that you read these in order for a better understanding of these characters and how we got to where we are in this amazing journey. Kat goes through a lot in this book and even though she has many different struggles she is still very strong. This story is full of wonderful detail, action, magic, love, heartache and so much more. I cannot wait to get my hands on the book!! The author did an exceptional job making me feel like I was there along in the story and keeping me so entertained that I didn’t want to put it down. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hawk’s Cry by Manda Mellet was a great continuation of the second generation of the Satan’s Devils MC series! As I haven’t read the first generation yet, some of the characters are hard to tell apart, but since I did read the first book in the second generation, it wasn’t so bad telling the characters apart this time. Very well written and descriptive, I related a lot to this novel. The way Hawk (aka Eli) feels throughout the novel is the way I would imagine a lot of young adults would feel in his place. The emotions were very relatable to me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read the next one in this series!

Bargaining (Hero High Book 3) by Mina Chara. Another great addition to a great series. I strongly recommend you reading them in order. Once again we taken on a journey Friday and a whole great cast of characters. Each one of these has gotten even better and this one definitely stuck to that. I love how unique and original this set is. Each character brings something different to the storyline and I enjoy them each for different reasons. It’s on the smaller side but that doesn’t hinder the punch it has. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Four big stars and highly recommended!

Lucifer's Emblem (Celestial Academy, #1)Lucifer’s Emblem by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Lucifer’s token seal — his only protection against the fallen angels who ejected him from, is stolen, his very own daughter, Zuri locates it at the Celestial Academy. As a degenerate, she’d never been allowed to enter the school for the heirs of angels and saints. Under a false persona, it leads her straight to Miryam bat-Michael.
Daughter of fallen angel, Michael, Miryam is a far cry from the angel her dad is. Seeking approval and devotion from her father who’s barely around, she’s looking for love in all the wrong places even if that means befriending Zuri who no one else seems to favor.
A speculative bond unfolds as the two unravel the mystery of the thief’s true intentions. As doomsday is about to unfold the world, only Zuri’s blood can break the seal. Zuri’s only hope is to put all her trust in Miryam but is their bond enough to prevent the worst from ending the world as they know it?
This has most definitely been an entertaining, page-turner of a read and was unpredictable from start to finish. Action-packed and worth the read. Check out this beautiful story!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel by Zeia Jameson took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it. The author had me gripped from the first page until the very last page and along the way I fell in love with Livy and Jeremy, a likeable, realistic and very relatable couple fighting for what they believe in, their love for one another. For Livy and Jeremy they met, fell in love and got married but somewhere along the way life took over. Livy never believed in Prince Charming’s and happy ever afters, whilst Jeremy believed he could be Livy’s Prince Charming, however when disaster strikes, the couple find themselves spiralling out of control and their once solid relationship crumbling. The couple seem to be growing further apart daily, however a glimpse of their happier past has Livy and Jeremy feeling hopeful for their future together. “When life-altering love becomes earth-shattering heartache, only the past can mend it”.
This was a wonderfully written love story with a difference, and that was in its realistic storyline. The chemistry between Livy and Jeremy sizzled off the page and I loved how their relationship developed over time both growing and changing. The storyline flowed nicely and along with the wonderful character building the author had me fully immersed in the book as I devoured this novel in a couple of sittings. A wonderful and emotive read which I thoroughly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in this series but can be read as a standalone. This is my favorite yet by this author. It is a well developed story that I had no problem picturing myself in. I also found connecting to the characters easy and fell in love with them. Brittany is struggling with no job, job and certainly no romance. Brooks is a one night type of guy. They had a one night stand but is it enough for them? I loved their attraction to each other and their chemistry is off the charts. What will fate have in store for them? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with them and if one night is just that one night.

I enjoyed this book. It is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites so far. One of the things I enjoy about this author and her books is how they are placed in Italy. This one is no different. Leda is a young adult that has been through alot and is now ready to start a new part of life. She is determined to find what makes her happy. Will she find that she needs romance in her life? Will she find herself in the process. I loved watching her grow throughout this story. She is a great character I felt some emotion with because she does go through so much but truely is trying to find what makes her happy. I highly recommend reading this book and find out what happens with Leda.

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time (The Italian Saga, #4)Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second novel in Gaia B Amman’s, ‘Italian Teens’ series, although a fictionalised series it is based on the authors life and she has written the series so it, “empowers girls and women to be their brave true selves”. The series of books are humorous and insightful novels for young adults which take place in Northern Italy. I felt fully immersed in the beautiful setting thanks to the authors wonderfully detailed descriptions. I also like how she has kept some Italian words in the narrative so as not to loose their meaning, mostly swear words, it does add to the immersive feeling.
It is Italy, in the 1990s, and we catch up with fierce, nerdy, independent Leda who is in high school, and hormones are raging. Leda’s biggest decision is, let lust take over or hold off till marriage. The object of her affections is best friend Nico. However Nico has become a bit of a bully and a player, can Leda trust him as she also battles her own emotions, confidence, guilt, parents, but mainly her desire.
This is an emotional read which is told with humour and honesty. The storyline deals with some sensitive issues, teen sex, eating disorders and teenage insecurities all of which are dealt with honestly and with sensitivity. The main issues for Leda in the story are around having sex for the first time and all the emotions that come with this, again the author writes about this openly and honestly but is also never vulgar. I fell in love with Leda again reading this story and think she is a great main character, thanks to the wonderful narrative I went on a emotional rollercoaster along with Leda as she entered into womanhood. An enjoyable book and also an original and empowering read.

Arrows Tipped With Honey by Jean Gill is the second book in the Natural Forces series. This series does need to be read in order as it is a continuation of the story.
This book was even better than the first one. Mielitta’s story is just one of those that draws you in completely. I found myself on the edge of my seat a few times in this book – it felt like there were a whole new layer of intrigue added to it
This series is the first for me by this author and I can only hope that the rest of her work is a good as this! Brilliant series so far and I cannot wait for whatever comes next.

This is a college novel- where before she was a small girl growing into teenage years, now we’re finally getting an older Leda. The funny part about this is when she emails in this book- it has the date, and I REMEMBER THOSE YEARS! She’s a little older than me in reality, and being an adult while reading her years as a child, I just didn’t think she was. I think this was my favorite book of hers so far. She is smart and is finally figuring out what she needs to do to make herself happy. I’m addicted to Leda and I am not ashamed about it. I can’t wait to read the next one!

5 ++++++ Stars (Deserves so many more)

I loved this author’s Jaded Lily series and can honestly say this one blew me away, it is now my favorite from this author. I love a story that feels real and this one met the mark. I adored these characters and a lot of their interaction throughout the book felt in so many ways like interactions I’ve had in my own life along the way.

This journey that Livy and Jeremy took me on in this book felt like deja vu in so many ways. Ive been married to my husband for 39 years this year and in some ways this story resembles my own, we were from 2 different worlds and had many trials through the years. I felt every emotion that was portrayed in this story, I cried and I laughed and Yes I wanted to throw my kindle a couple times. The miscommunication and taking things and each other for granted are major lessons that every married couple must learn. This story was written so beautifully, it showed the realistic side of love and marriage between two real people.

I loved Jeremy’s Mom and also Joe was a favorite of mine. This is an amazingly awesome story that I will absolutely read again and again and I can not recommend it enough.

Many thanks to this author for giving me another favorite book this year!

This is practically a coming of age story. Just the kind I love and Manda Mellett makes it that much better. When I read books like this, I can’t help but to love the journey the characters take along the depths of their time. The tests and experiences in life as in this builds character and endures our love. This is a beautifully written book that is a must-read!
You would think Eli has it all being the vice president of the biker club, “Satan’s Devils.” Eli AKA Hawk is married to the love of his life, his ride or die, and she’s expecting his child in six months.
Hawk is surrounded by family (relatives and the support of his friends) in the club but he’s straddling the fence of things could be better but how? He has more than any man can ask for yet he hungers for something else. What do you do and where do you go to find the answer? Will he risk it all to find out?

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time (The Italian Saga, #4)Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sex-O-S is the follow up novel to Forget Nico by Gaia B. Amman. It is a great young adult novel of self-discovery set in Italy in the mid to late 1990’s. I had really enjoyed Forget Nico and was really looking forward to see what was in store next for Nico and Leda.
At 15 Leda has finally got Nico as her boyfriend. After being besotted with him for years she’s now finally his girlfriend so everything should be perfect. But it’s not; Nico wants to take their relationship to the next level and Leda’s not ready for that yet and doesn’t think she will be for a long time.
This is a great story of self-discovery as 15 year old Leda wars with herself in her own head. She loves her boyfriend but doesn’t feel ready to have sex yet. This book takes us through Leda’s journey from age 15 to age 18. It’s not just her sexual discovery that this book focusses on but also Leda’s self-image. We are told that Leda is carrying a bit of extra weight (she regards herself as being fat) and she embarks on a mission to shed some of the extra pounds.
I love that this author has taken these two issues: that of sexual awakening and self-image and tackled them in a fantastic way. I absolutely adore Leda’s character and look forward to reading more of her journey as she moves on to college.

Life's a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes, #3)Life’s a Witch by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another fun paranormal romantic comedy in Carrie Pulkinen’s ‘New Orleans Nocturnes’ series “Ride along on a journey from the Big Easy to hell and back again in this fast, steamy paranormal romantic comedy!” states the blurb, and I was not disappointed as that is exactly what I got.
Crimson Oliver is a bad witch, as in she can’t actually cast spells that work and following her latest spell that went awry the high priestess has threatened to bind Crimson’s powers and turn her human for good. Crimson challenges the high priestess to a magic battle which without a miracle she has no chance of winning. Demon Mike Cortez, who happens to be handsome and sexy is also a devil’s advocate who can make miracles happen, for a price of course. Luckily or unluckily for Crimson, Mike has had his eye on her for a while and he would like to date the seductive and sassy witch. Unfortunately Mike accidentally makes a deal which would condemn Crimson to a life of satanic servitude to Satan himself. The couple embark on an adventure to hell itself and back to outsmart the devil and save Crimson’s soul.
I enjoyed this fairly quick read which was packed full of romance, excitement, adventure, laugh out loud moments, plenty of sass from our heroine Crimson, and some steamy chemistry between her and Mike. I’ve enjoyed all three books in Pulkinen’s ‘New Orleans Nocturnes’ series and although there is some crossover of characters each one can be read as a standalone story.

Every Last Psycho: A Collection of Two NovellasEvery Last Psycho: A Collection of Two Novellas by Zarina Macha
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book contains two novellas about two different teen girls. Both hit you upside the head and you don’t know which way to turn as you feel empathy and compassion for both characters as they go through life’s motions all on their own. I loved each novella for two different reasons but I’ll explain later in this review.
In “Every Last Psycho,” you find yourself feeling nothing but compassion for 16-yr-old Tess as she’s lost her brother which is a tough pill to swallow as she struggles through life without him. That is until she meets Ed who helps her cope with the loss and live life joyously but she didn’t plan to fall for him since the favor isn’t always returned. Agitated and upset by Ed’s girlfriend, she’s now turned to drugs to cope. As the reader, you’re praying and hoping poor little Tess finds her way back to sobriety and in better mental health because she could most definitely use a break. This book triggered me a lot and stirred a lot of pent-up emotions. I most definitely enjoyed reading it, though.
In the second novella, “Psycho Girl,” we meet 18-yr-old Evelyn as she hides behind her exterior persona: typical type A personality. That is until she applied to the University of Cambridge and didn’t get in. Evelyn turns into someone unrecognizable as her perfect image fades away. Homicide, deception, and exploitation follow as not only does Evelyn become a narcissist but a complete psycho! Is it too late for those she loves to see or is she doomed at her own fate?
This collection of novellas has its share of twists and turns for both main characters and it keeps you addicted to each page! The fact you don’t know what to do or how to feel about them and their life is unpredictable. I couldn’t help but feel Tess’ pain and despair while Evelyn was harder to love but you know why she did what she had to do. All of this and more make you very entertained by which way it will all end. These are original books with original plots from an author I recommend reading again and again. The twists of Evelyn’s life are very realistic as I’ve dealt with my share of narcissists and their control of fearing what’s uncontrollable.

So far this has been my favorite book in the series. We see a lot of action, answers to questions and shock…yes I was shocked. Things are turned upside down and I was not prepared but then I was disappointed in a certain character. But I do love watching Friday use her powers and always wondering what she is going to do next.

Anyway this is fun and like I said full of action. It kept my interest and made me want to know what was going to happen next. I was really able to stick with the characters and hope for their success. Friday’s story was a treat to read.

Enemies of DovesEnemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story sets off in 1932 on a summer night for two brothers, Joel and Clancy Fitchett. Clancy is unconscious and Joel is the older brother carrying him to rescue. They both “don’t remember” what happened but Joel has a permanent reminder in the form of a face scar.
Thirteen years down the line, they’re still experiencing tremors of that ill-fated night as they’ve made a forever pact amongst the two of them. In the middle of a murder investigation, the brothers decide a course of action that changes their lives forever.
In 1991, college pupil Gary Stark, embarks on a journey to Texas where he believes he’s found his long-lost biological grandfather in Clancy. Clancy’s been missing since 1946 but Gary wants a family in finding his grandfather. Unbeknownst to him, he’s about to discover more than he’s bargained for in sixty years of secrets Joel, Clancy and the love of their life, Lorraine have hidden from the world.
This book has you traveling from WWII to 1992 where we discover concealment, solitude, resentment, and deceitfulness from the fans of these authors.
This is the best thriller and crime book I’ve read in awhile. I love the layers of the story as the mystery of it unfolds through different time periods. It’s fun and addictive to read on a multitude of levels. Fantastic writing from the authors as well. In this almost-realistic feel, I found it inspirational at how much the characters were able to overcome and live through. This was definitely a page-turner. Haunting and unpredictable, it took me to places I never knew I could go. I’ve cried through some pages as well. Action-packed with the way it took us through different times with the characters. Tragic in what these characters had to endure in so many ways. The story is so original and twisted, it leaves you craving more of each page.

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time (The Italian Saga, #4)Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sex O-S by Gaia B. Amman a refreshing four-star read. This is number four in the Italian Saga and also number two in the Italian Teen novels, it could be read as stand-alone, but I have read the whole Italian Saga and would say if you don’t fancy the whole thing, just try the Italian Teens. This is emotional and empowering and will surprise you in so many ways, it picks up after the last story and Leda continues to surprise us with her sense of self, becoming more of a young lady instead of the tomboy we had met previously, much like your typical teenager, but Leda just has that something special. This is deep and its not your typical romantic story, so don’t think its all roses and joy.

Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm – Review by Sara Oxton

Enemies of DovesEnemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm a five-star read that will cross the line between enemies and friends. I really didn’t like this one all the way through, I loved it then something would happen, and I would hate it, then another couple of pages and I would love it again. It’s a quandary what to write as well, as there are so many details or clues to the story, as this was one of those stories that has little Easter eggs dropped through the story, and they just build to this massive story, its so well done as you are almost drip-fed the story to keep up the drama and suspense but it’s that well done you don’t realise. Its one that will keep you hooked so whatever you do don’t start this thinking you can do a couple of pages before bed.
