Journeys Through TimeSpace by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Journeys through TimeSpace by James Talisman is the second book in the Journeys Through series. This is an absolutely amazing follow up to the first book, and one that I could not put down. I have been waiting to get my hands on it ever since I finished book one and it was definitely worth the wait.
I was thrown right back into the characters and their journey. This author has created such an in-depth and interesting world. The characters are so lovely and engaging it honestly feels like you are right there alongside them.
This book was captivating and entertaining and everything I wanted it to be and more. I am already excited to see what comes next from this author.

Black Blade by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Black Blade by Alexander Charalambides is a great fantasy book that is a unique take on Lancelot and Excalibur.
This is a relatively new author to me but I was excited to read more of his work. I loved the new take on this old story.
The story was in depth and complex, jumping back and forth time wise but the author handles it well, keeping the storylines moving forward nicely. I enjoyed the fact that the story was told from multiple points of view as it gave an overall view of what was going on.
This author has a great way of using his words to create a lasting story. It was interesting and unique and exciting to read. I am definitely looking forward to reading more of this author in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Denial by Mina Chara is the first book in the Hero High series. It is a short story that is jam packed full of action and fantasy.

Although a quick read the book had everything in you could want. It didn’t feel like you were missing out on anything, although I definitely wouldn’t have said no more chapters in this book.
This was a great introduction to a new author and I can’t wait to read more.

The whole story was so well written. It was entertaining in both storyline and characters. They were so engaging and relatable I absolutely loved reading about them. This book has caught my interest fully and I cannot wait to see what is coming up in the rest of the series.

Denial (Hero High Book 1)
By Mina Chara
5 out of 5 stars

The story Denial (Hero High Book 1) by Mina Chara is a book that had me hooked and wondering what was going to happen next. It pulled me in, and I found myself at the end wishing for a few more chapters. It is the story of a girl who has been placed in Hero High by her father. She is 17, is opinionated, has powers, and not shy about what she says or does. Things seem to happen around her and as she tries to settle into school, she finds herself in several situations that make her wonder just what is going on in the city. Read this book for the full story. This is a fast-paced story. It takes you to a school where powered people live and train. The character that you follow seems to follow her own drum and is finding out that strange things are happening around her. I like the idea of a school for those with powers and it would be an interesting and exciting place to be. The other characters who interact with the main character are interesting and I enjoyed the interactions that occur. This is a book that I would recommend reading.

I loved reading the story The Explorer (Mountains Series #6) by Phoebe Alexander. I have loved reading about Abby in the previous books of this series and am thrilled that she now has a story of her own. This is a book that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. Even when I finished, I wished there were a few more chapters. Abby is in college and on her own. Although she feels like she has to be someone different with each family member and even her friends. Will Abby find her happiness? I also loved reading about Gavin. He is a fellow student of Abby’s. Will he find himself at college? Will he find the attention and friendship that he has always wanted? Read this book to find out. Both Gavin and Abby are wonderful characters. They are likable characters and you can’t help but want them to find happiness. This story is an emotional one and my emotions went up and down the entire time I was reading it. This is a coming of age story that has Abby and Gavin finding out about themselves and the others around them. There are steamy romantic scenes. I would highly recommend reading this book.

The story The Scene (Dylan Hart Series Book 1) by R.M. Gilmore is a horror book that kept me turning pages. I was always wondering what would happen next. It pulled me in from the very beginning and once started I found myself not able to put it down. I loved the character of Dylan Hart. She is strong, independent, sassy, has plenty of wits, and determination. She is a journalist that is looking into a story. A story that includes vampires. What will she find? Read this book to find out. Dylan is sassy and can easily turn on the sarcasm when needed. She is a likable character and I found myself quickly rooting for her to find out the truth of the story she is working on. The story has action, suspense, danger, and some chilling scenes. I have loved stories about vampires and the occult for a long time and this story is a good example of why. There are twists and turns in the book that I didn’t see coming. There are quite a few additional characters that are introduced. Some I enjoyed reading about, such as Dylan’s bestie, and then others who are mysterious, and I had to wonder what their real agenda is. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you glued to the pages until the ending. I would highly recommend reading it.

A Moore Affair by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Moore Affair by Michele Sims a fantastic four-star read. This is number four in the Moore Family Saga and I would advise you read them in order, as I have missed one and only realised half way through this one, I didn’t feel very lost but I will have to read a bunch before I go back to read it as I spoiled it for myself. Bella is about to find that marrying Miles may be more than she realises, and it may be more bite than she can chew. But you can see the love that she and Miles have for each other, the author does a great job of bringing you into their story. This is a great series and the dram will keep you hooked and bring you right into the story. If you haven’t picked it up go back and start at number one and enjoy the whole series.

License to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen a five-star read that will bite back. This is the first story in the New Orleans Nocturnes series and what a start, I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the rest of the series. This was so funny, do not drink and read as you will be spitting water out everywhere. It has just the right amount of sass and humour, this turns your typical supernatural romance on its head and rights it all again. Jane is great, I really didn’t think I would like her at first, but I really warmed to her as well as some of the other secondary characters. The banter and back and forth really kept you guessing, this series show such great promise and I can’t wait for number two.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Indebted to the Vampire by Erin Bedford a five-star read with bite. This is the first novel in the House of Durant series and shows us what a great series this is going to be. I did waver over this one as at times I was wondering if I would give it three stars, but then it would pull me back in and just make the story great again. Piper was just full of sass and spark, she made me smile and boy did she bring all the boys to the yard. Piper was so clumsy and has this amazing inner dialogue that will make you snort with laughter. I can not wait to sink my teeth into the next one of this series as mmmm these boys just have something a little extra and it’s not priceless vases.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Marked for Death by Amy McKinley a five-star read that shows the true mark. This is number six in the Gray Ghost series and each one goes from strength to strength, Keegan Hunt steps up to the plate this time and brings Caraccas to life. You can feel the heat and danger to this story, you can feel the romance and become part of the story as its so well written. As always, this author keeps the action levels so high that you can’t put it down. This could be read as stand-alone, but I adore the series and have enjoyed reading them all, but I am left all a float wondering if there will be a lucky number seven.

Dylan Hart just made me smile so much, honestly the character was sublime, there was just something warm and fuzzy with a scrappiness to it. The thing is Dylan is great, but the rest of the characters just brought out so much of the story, it had me laughing one-minute biting my nails in the next. This was just an engaging and compelling story that you would be sad to miss.

Serenade by T.K. Lawyer a unique four-star read. I enjoyed this story, it wasn’t the usual story that we get when reading about wolf shifters, this had a great spin to it and made a great story. I love taking a chance on a new to me author and this one definitely is one I will be looking for again as I enjoyed this one overall, I did feel that it could have been a little more polished at times, but overall very good. Eva was such a compassionate character, she makes you warm to her, and Kingsley pulled me into him, there was just something special about him. I can only hope to grab something else from this author to see what will come next.

Music Man by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Music Man by K.L. Montgomery a five-star read that is like music to your ears. This is number one in the Romance in Rehoboth series and what a start, I am in love already, I have read the rest of the series and gone back to the start for this one and can attest that they can be read as standalone as they set in the same amazing place with some interacting characters but not in each other’s pockets, best of all worlds. This brings to us what I have come to love from this author and realness and a harsh look at life as it really is, but with a heart warming spin that sows us that just because there are wicked people in the world doesn’t mean deep down we have to join them, and just because you see the pretty outside doesn’t mean you see pretty inside and vice-versa, I love how the author shows us that side of life. I simply adored Claire as she has this amazing inner monologue that just made me relate to her infinity. Do not miss this story as it will bring music to your life.

The Explorer by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Explorer by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read you would climb mountains for. This is number six in the Mountains series, this one can be read as stand-alone, but the series is amazing, we have met Abby the main character of this one before as she is the daughter of one of the main characters from some of the earlier books, but this one Abby comes into her own and we get to know more about her as a woman. This author shows us again how to deal with issues we all face in a more inclusive manner as she shows us how to be body positive and just accepting of sexuality no matter the form it takes. Abby is growing up and we get to go on the journey with her, it’s such an insight into her mind, and its like being a fly on the wall of a young person’s life. This really brought some amazing characters to life and I can only hope we get to hear more from them.

P.A.W.S. (The P.A.W.S. Saga, Book 1) by Debbie Manber Kupfer – Review by Erica Fish

P.A.W.S. by Debbie Manber Kupfer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book by Debbie Manber Kupfer. Her story is well planned out. Her characters are fully developed and yet a bit mysterious. I found myself wanting to know what was going to be happening next. This story is YA Fantasy but make no mistake, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I find that the YA genre authors have fresh ideas that keep me engaged until the last page and leave me wanting more. In this story Miri has received a silver cat charm from her Omama Celia. Little did Miri have any idea what secrets she is going to be learning. I highly recommend this story to see what Miri is going to be learning in the coming days.
