Saint Code: The Lost (Saint Code Book 1) by Megan Mackie – Review by Naomi McDonald

The Lost (Saint Code Book 1)The Lost by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Lost is the first book in the Saint Code series. Even though this is listed as the first book in a series, I highly recommend reading The Finder of the Lucky Devil (Lucky Devil series) before you read this book. You will have a better grasp of certain events mentioned in The Lost if you read that book first.

I loved this book! The world building is superb and I love the unique characters. The Lost is a twisty adventure that keeps you guessing. I’d love to say more about specific details, but I don’t want to spoil the intrigue.

A definite must read!!!! Seriously, read it!!!

Hero High: Figure In The Flames by Mina Chara – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Figure in the Flames (Hero High, #1-3)Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hero High: Figure In The Flames collects the first three parts of Friday Fitzsimmons’ story, written by Mina Chara. Friday, or “Fitz” as she is sometimes known, is a trainee superhero in a world where superheroes are celebrities, surrounded by cameras at all times. Friday doesn’t particularly want to be famous, and certainly doesn’t want to wear revealing clothes and smile for the camera, but she does want to make a difference and support her family.
The story is told within a framing narrative of an interview where an older Fitz is asked to discuss her origins. This works well, both reassuring the reader that Fitz will be alright in the end and allowing the older Fitz to break up the flow of the story every now and then to provide useful information or interesting commentary.
I particularly like Chara’s vivid descriptions of things. Everything from settings to clothes and food (food!). Chara gives the reader plenty of detail that really allows you to feel like you’re seeing and tasting everything.
For me, this is a five-star book. I would recommend it to fans of teen and YA superhero stories (it has a particularly X-Men feel to it with the special school for superheroes). There’s a good balance of character drama and action, and there are familiar tropes without it being boring or too predictable.

A High Price to Pay (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 2) by Cynthia Hamilton – Review by Kerry Carr

A High Price to Pay (Madeline Dawkins, #2)A High Price to Pay by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Madeline Dawkins series and and its a great book.

After all the trauma cause to Madeline in the first book by her ex husband, she is back as a trained P.I with her close friend Mike.

She also still runs her event co-ordinator job as well. Her next job sees her planning a 3 day party for a famous client. However, things arent as rosy as they seem when the clients mother-in-law seeks Madelines help to find the person responsible for stealing her precious jewellery.
With both businesses taking off Madeline certainly has her hands full.

An added complication occurs when one of the men who was part of the plan that kidnapped her is released only to be found dead days later. Is the man that escaped justice Usherwood back getting his revenge on the people who turned him in and will Madeline be next on his hit list.

Its a great story that keeps you hooked and guessing. It has a strong and independent female main character which is nice.

Forgotten Promise Book two: The Forgotten Trilogy by Virginia Wine – Review by Faith Jackson

Forgotten Promise (Forgotten #2)Forgotten Promise by Virginia Wine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As a fan of the first book, I love the way Nathan and Bryer love each other. I think they’re together for a greater reason than even they can even know about. They’ve taken the time to establish their foundation and cement their love. I hated Cash for trying to come through and break them up.
This book will have you praying Bryer sees through just how arrogant and pompous Cash is and lives happily ever after with Nathan. Great read — wonderful characters, romantic and entertaining.

What a brilliant quick sexy read! This book was hot, sexy & steamy from the moment it starts, right until the very end! I loved the front cover of this read, it drew me in instantly. Now Mayim was a another story completely he is the epitome of sexy, from the way he is, the way he talks, the way he handles himself and the way he gives it to women. He knows their desires and is more than ready and willing to give them it, all while helping them have their secret desire to play out for them. I loved Summer and seeing the growth she makes from the start and seeing her fulfil her real desires, and finding out the rest of her journey after Mayim. I can’t wait to read more from this series!

Love the Way You Dance by Allison M. Boot – Review by Angela Hayes

Love the Way You DanceLove the Way You Dance by Allison M Boot
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Love the Way You Dance by Allison M. Boot is a sweet young adult fantasy that has a fairy tale feel to it. It is a story of self- acceptance, with magic, some drama, believing in yourself, learning to love yourself, evil trolls, and a little bit of adventure. I enjoyed this super sweet read.
Ever since Kara was adopted by the king and queen of Starrycrest, she has lived a lovely life, with everything she could ever want- loving parents, a lovely home- including the starring role in the kingdom’s production of “The Nutcracker.” But things begin to fall apart, and Kara begins to doubt everything. She is put to the test and will have to draw on all her strength, and truly accept herself, if she is to overcome it all in the end.
Another lovely story by Allison M. Boot!

Thank you, Ms. Boot!

Figure in the Flames (Hero High, #1-3)Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Denial (Hero High book 1) by Mina Chara is a 3.5 star read.
This is the story of Friday Fitzsimmons who went off to hero high when she was 17, she met and spent some time with her hero Captain Fantastic, she doesn’t really have an active power so is trying to figure out how she can become a superhero.
This is my first book by this author and while it wasn’t one of my favourite books I couldn’t put the book down and read it all in one sitting.

Anger (Hero High book 2) by Mina Chara is a 3.5 star read.
Friday Fitzsimmons is still trying to figure her way around Hero High and the camera’s, the new Dr Dangerous is hell bent on finding his place as a villain and making sure Friday is in the middle of his plans. Making new friends along the way Friday is trying to stop her anxiety worries getting in the way of her time at hero high.
There was a little more excitement in this book but it still fell a little flat for me, but when I picked up the book I didn’t put it down until I was finished.

Bargaining by Mina Chara is book 3 in the series and is a 4 star read.
This book finds Friday fighting against everyone, not sure who is on the side of good or bad, her friendship with Jake is suffering and she’s getting closer to Ashley, but everyone has secrets, can Friday save the day without getting hurt?
This was a quick read and I enjoyed catching up with Friday and seeing how her superhero power would stand up against everyone else’s. The ending fell a little flat for me and I’m hoping there’s more to come.

Hansel & Gretel (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology – Review by Meg Tyrrell

Hansel & Gretel: Down the Rabbit HoleHansel & Gretel: Down the Rabbit Hole by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful collection of Hansel & Gretel stories. Some of these were what I expected and others were so different I almost had to reread some of them. I enjoyed each one of these and now I’ve found a few more authors I hadn’t heard of before. The authors have done an amazing job of writing their version of Hansel and Gretel. I would highly recommend reading these stories. The anthology sticks to the conventions of the fairy tale including gingerbread houses, witches, being lost in the woods and trying to find your way back home with breadcrumbs. Some of the stories are truly frightening, but in a good way. There is romance sprinkled in too, sweetening the pot.
The stories and authors are:

– The Witch in the Woods By: Amy Allen
– The Surface By: CeeCee Elaine
– The Sweetest Day By: Debra Parmley
– Hazel & Gretchen By: Erin Lee
– The Reaper Within By: Jess Bagnall
– Shadows that Move By: Lorah Jaiyn

Deleted by Ruth Mitchell is a suspenseful and original story that had me hooked right from page 1. The author has created such an intriguing concept.
I found the whole book to be well thought out exciting to read. It felt like I never quite knew what might happen to Lucy which meant that I was on the edge of my seat for a lot of it.

Hero High: The Figure In Flames by Mina Chara – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur

Figure in the Flames (Hero High, #1-3)Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Friday Fitzsimmons is a 17 year old girl going to a new school, but she is no ordinary girl, she has superpowers and she is about to start Hero High in Icon City.

We meet Friday as she is flying to Icon City, so that she can support her family back home. Friday is anxious and shy, but is determined not to let them down. She arrives and is thrown straight into the glamour and all encompassing life that being a student at Hero High entails. There are reporters, photographers and video cameras ready to beam her student life to the world through their own reality TV show.
She and the other students are tested, grouped and placed with a mentor, before finally getting to meet the head teacher and see where they are going to live for the foreseeable future.
As Friday and the other students get used to their new life, as well as the rules, disappointments, advantages and disadvantages that come with it, they develop as people and have experiences they could never have dreamed of before this all started.
We follow Fridays adventures in this trilogy as she gets to grips with her new life, friends, classes and powers, as well as the life that comes with them.

The book starts as an interview with Friday and this style is intermittently dispersed throughout the book, where we learn tidbits that cannot be explained within the storyline. We meet and learn about the characters she comes into contact with and how all these relationships develop. This is done extremely well and keeps you guessing right up until the end.
It is an easy to follow story and flows very well, the “interview” sections do not disrupt this too much and do add to the story.
Various themes are explored throughout the story and deal with the emotional conflicts and turmoil that come along with these themes.It is a complex and engaging story that leaves you wanting more at the end and is a series that I want to finish.

How (Stalker Series, 3)How by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How is the 3rd book in the Stalker Series by Megan Mitcham. I have to say that this is my favourite book in the series and that’s high praise indeed as I adored the first two books in the series. Before reading this series I had never read any of Megan Mitcham’s work but this series has definitely gained her a new fan.
This book had me hooked from the very beginning and it kept a very tight grip of me throughout. I was totally engrossed in this story. It was so well written and the story flowed very well, with twists and turns that keep the reader totally gripped.
I have absolutely loved the group of 4 women that this series revolves around and it was great to see what the others are up to and how all their lives intertwine.
This particular book centres around FBI agent Libby Irish and her elusive, very attractive, neighbour who has never uttered a single word to her. As the story progresses we start to see a very different side to the neighbour as Libby’s life becomes more in danger from her stalker.
The author throws a few curveballs at you and really takes you on an amazing journey filled with mystery, danger and intrigue.
I would give this book more than 5 stars if I could. I definitely recommend this book. Infact, I recommend the whole series. It’s one I will read again.

Hit and Run by Diane Hester was a great 5 star read.
Once I started I was pulled right in.

Raina had a creepy experience while driving home from the movies, she had been thinking about how her life has been the past 10 years when she accidentally hit a man with her car.
The man pulled a gun on her and had her drive him away from the scene. When the man passes out she ends up abandoning her car with him in it. When she finds out the next day the man is dead her life starts to spiral out of control.

We meet a couple of other characters Alec and Erin who added so much more to this story. These three find out they are intertwined in the same scary situation. There is so much more to this read but I don’t want to give anything away. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. We get murder, abduction, twits and turns and so much more. All of the characters were great. This is my first read from this Author and I loved it. If you like a suspenseful book that pulls you right in then this is the book for you. 1-click and get started today.

What happens when someone from your past threatens your future, that’s the dilemma in story for Bryer when a lover comes back looking for one more chance.

Bryer and Nathan are happy, they have declared their love for each other but will there world be rocked when a blast from Bryer past comes looking for her love again. Cash is a no hold barred lawyer who is determining to win back Bryer, he has the reputation that he wins everything in the courtroom so he is betting on winning this battle.

Nathan is positive that Bryer will choose him but if Cash wants a battle for the love of his life then he is determined to put up one hell of a fight, but its all up to Bryer.

This is the second book in this trilogy and did not disappoint, I would recommend reading the first book before this one as it set up the characters within the story and you may have more of an investment in the story. Cash to me although coming across as a manipulative character was a great counter player to Nathan, the interactions between these two were brilliant and you felt like you were always routing for someone. Bryer is great strong female character and is well written, with you really putting yourself into her shoes all the way through the story.

I would recommend this series with the well written story and developed characters I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Raina Wilkins is forced to go on the run with a wanted killer and a homeless teen with a very deadly secret……… and until that point, she had thought she had very little to live for.
Driving from the woods in Maine, Raina hits a man, thinking it is an animal, who darts straight in front of her.
From that moment on that stranger climbs in her car, which forces her to drive on at gunpoint. Terrified with the gun pointed at her face, she did as she was asked.

Shortly after, however, this stranger gets out and disappears back into the forest.. Thinking she will never see him again after that, Alec DeMarco has left something behind when he left.
This something, others would absolutely kill to possess it.

When Alec returns to claim this, Raina is then swept into a world of conspiracy, murder and abduction. A world where even the police want her dead. Not knowing who she could trust, her life was in constant danger.

This book was a real page turner and you could feel the tension on each page. A fantastic thriller, with twists and turns keeping you guessing throughout. Raina has a troubled past which comes back to haunt her, and as a reader, you feel really involved in her character.
A definite must read.

Since being adopted by the King and Queen of Starrycrest two years ago, Kara has lived a magical life, complete with doting parents and staff as well as a starring role in the Starrycrest Starlets’ production of The Nutcracker. The princess is on top of the world until big changes threaten her place in the Denison family as well as in the kingdom.

Kara’s magical life quickly turns into a nightmare when she is forced to face her deepest insecurities and prepare for the biggest night of her life with a dance partner whom she does not even like. To complicate matters even more, Stella Dixon, the Starlets new dance instructor, tells the princess about a program in Eclipston that helps orphans find their forever families. Kara loves the idea and wants to implement a similar program in Starrycrest, but others in the royal family refuse.

The tiny royal soon realizes that, in order to be the princess she has always hoped to be and make Starrycrest a better kingdom, she must take matters into her own hands as her mother once did. After an encounter with Victrollia, an evil troll who hates the Denisons and wants to avenge the death of her cousin, Trovella, goes terribly wrong, the princess and her loyalty to her family is put to the ultimate test. In the end, Kara will learn that living life to the fullest means you must love the way you dance.

Much like the main characters in her novels, Allison M. Boot, has a disability. She writes to spread messages of self-acceptance and equality to young boys and girls traveling paths similar to hers in hopes of inspiring them to live their lives to the fullest.

Boston Police Detective Ezri Trenton wants nothing more than to do her job…and solve her mother’s murder. Faces from a past she had forsaken and an imminent dark power that only she can stop, however, push Ezri to rethink her self-imposed isolation. From childhood, she was told she—and only she—was the prophetic Savior of the magical community. Now, just days before the Vernal Equinox, a time of balance between light and dark magic, the Order of Samael works ceaselessly in an effort to conjure ancient Druidic demons. Life as we know it is threatened and the time for the Savior has come. Adding to her problems, Detective Ezri chases a phantom serial killer whose identity baffles the force. Can she stop him without revealing her magical secret, and what will solving this case reveal about her mother’s murderer?
