A Book Signing To Die For is the first book I have read by author Judy Moore. What a fun setting for a book – Beck O’Rourke and her Grandma Alice co-own Beach Reads bookstore. Wouldn’t that be fun? Grandma Alice is a no nonsense, say it as it is character, Lizzie the younger sister is a lifeguard who wants nothing to do with the bookstore, and Beck is the main character who can be shy but as she gets older she is growing out of her shyness and is finding her true calling.
The story gets your attention from the beginning. The Beach Reads bookstore sounds like a wonderful shop to visit. The premise of this book is that the bookstore has a book signign and a meet & greet with authors from time to time. On this fateful night, one of the book signing attendees is found dead near the shop. The mystery gets Beck to realize her passion of crime solving.

Dares & Dice (Spicetopia #5) by Phoebe Alexander was steam, romantic, and exciting. I loved Ty and Makenna! It was so much fun watching them get outside of their comfort zone during the scavenger hunt! Both came from different backgrounds and meshed well. I also enjoyed the bit of foreshadowing regarding their love lives. I absolutely loved this book and enjoyed the ending. It can be read as a standalone in this series but readers will love the other books too. This book is my new favorite of this series and I highly recommend it.

I have to say this was a very scary story. George Orwell type of scary. Deleted by Ruth Mitchell is quite an alarming story because the possibilities are so frightening. If you are as old as I am and you have seen the amazing things that have occurred in the last fifty years….then you will feel just as alarmed as I felt. Ms. Mitchell paints a world where no one is without an eyepiece that is in constant contact with the wearer, much like so many of us are with our cell phones. Much like Siri programs. As we follow Lucy and Marco and the events that unfold in their lives this excellent story gives you much to think about. I heard a slogan years ago…if you can think it, you can do it. Lets hope not.
Summer’s Stolen: (An Urban Fantasy Novel) (Seasons of Magic Book 2) by Sarah Biglow is a great fantasy paranormal story that is easy to become part of the story. It will have you on the end of your seat and your heart racing as they once again race against time to find missing children. Make sure you read the first book before you read this one, which is just as good as this one. This story pretty much takes off where the last one left off and where our favourite Detective, the Saviour, is once again caught up good versus evil and magic is everywhere. With magic and mystery what could be better to keep you engaged and turning pages. I very much look forward to the next one.

A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore is not her normal mystery story it is a fast paced cozy murder mystery. Judy has written the story that throws you of course, just when you think you are getting to the “whodunnit”. There are twists and turns, thrills and spills, danger and lies, and definitely keeps you guessing. The characters are likable and realistic and the world in which Judy paints is so vivid you can clearly see it. I loved Lizzy’s grandma, she is such a hoot, sassy and independent woman who knows her own mind. It is a great read to get lost in and I can’t wait to see what Judy brings us next.

Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson is a fast paced paranormal story for older kids about 10 – 12ish but having said that I enjoyed it. Stephenie has given us an original story where there are magic, ghosts, secrets and curses and a best friend who is a cat. It is fun, witty and spooky and thoroughly enjoyable, as we take a twisty journey along with Grace as she works with her ghostly cohorts to get to the root of the problem in town.

Dares & Dice is book 5 in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander and let me say this might be my favorite. I think I say that about every book in this series. We all think Vegas is the place to have your bachelor/bachelorette party’s at, but if Spicetopia was a real place it would have Vegas beat.
Makenna and Ty had me laughing-out-loud and loving the bantering between them But nothing was better than the naughty scavenger hunt, I mean who wouldn’t want to do that.
If you love a little wild and crazy mixed with some serious sexiness then you need to read this book/series.
Girl Trap (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 3) by Cynthia Hamilton. Once again this series captured my full attention and I just couldn’t put it down. This author knows how to keep me guessing and on my toes. This one is just as interesting and intriguing as the others. The fast pace had my head busy but it’s not so fast it’s rushed it’s a good fast. The characters are complex and well written, by now I’m feeling a great connection with them. I do recommend reading this series in order and I promise it’ll be a great way to spend some time in book world. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Winter’s Wolf (The Cursed Book 1) by Lou Grimes. This story wears many faces from it’s paranormal, mystery, adventure and action I was never left feeling the need for more. This is an amazing debut and it’s definitely gonna have me keeping my eye one more from this author. The characters are complex and relatable, easy to connect with. This storyline had me completely hooked from page one to the very end. I think any person could really enjoy this story. I sometimes feel it’s hard for me to get into a book of this type but I absolutely had no trouble sinking right in. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Four stars and highly recommended. Excited to see where this author takes readers next.

Dares and Dice by Phoebe Alexander is book five of the Spicetopia Series. This series can be read in any order but let’s be real the whole series is good so you might as well read them in order!
Makenna is out to enjoy her bachelorette party. I mean she took her bridesmaids to the Bahamas after all! If her maid of honor has anything to say about it, they will definitely be enjoying themselves at Spicetopia. What they don’t expect is that a bachelor party will also be happening. Ty is thrilled to be away from his family celebrating his bachelor party with his friends. If he won’t enjoy the wedding or even the marriage, might as well enjoy the party. Neither Ty nor Makenna expected the best man and maid of honor to conspire but they have and they are daring Ty and Makenna – all bets are off! Who knows maybe this party is just what they need!
This was such a fun book to read as are many of the other books by this author. She always pulls you into the story so it feels like you are there enjoying the events just as much as the characters are. I highly recommend!
Blind Magic: The Sanctuary Chronicles by India Kells. This author knows how to hook me from beginning to end. These characters are some of my top favorites this year and I’ll be thinking about not only them but this storyline for a while. I love a book I can sink into and forget the outside world for a while. This book gave me just that and it was nice to get lost within its pages for a while. I sometimes forget how much I love paranormal romance until an author reminds me of all those amazing reasons and this author does remind me often. The characters are complex and relatable, and the storyline will have you awake well into the night is you start too late. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

I give Summer’s Stolen: (An Urban Fantasy Novel) (Seasons of Magic Book 2) by Sarah Biglow, 5 stars. *This review may contain spoilers from book 1.*
This is a great continuation of the story. We see Ezri growing, learning to accept the help of others and to embrace the magical community she disowned long ago. The development of her character is done so well. We also get to learn more about both new characters and ones we met in book one. As time goes one, so do they, but in many different ways.
The story of the missing children is good too. Discovering that the children were of the magical community gives it a good twist, and like any good whodunit, why are left wondering the who, what, where and why. These answers were not too obvious to me, which I really liked. The book is well written and make a good story all that much more enjoyable.
If you are a fan of Urban Fantasy like I am, I highly recommend this book and series to you.

Another Yesterday is the second book in the Seashells and Second Chances collection by Angela Christina Archer. In 1966, Maggie ran away from her home town after things didn’t turn out as she’d planned. With her baby daughter in tow she finds somewhere new to forget her past and build her future. Thirty years later, Rachel thought she had it all, a wonderful husband and successful career. But life is never that simple, and her life takes a dramatic turn, forcing her to face her past and her future.
Be warned, this book is an emotional rollercoaster. There are highs and lows that keep you turning the page for more. The characters are wonderful and I was hooked from the start. You will fall in love with Maggie, Rachel and their stories. As the story follows them both of them two time periods are covered, I loved finding out the backstories and it was easy to switch between the past and the present. I would recommend this book to anyone.

I loved reading the Feisty Heroines Romance Collection of Shorts Anthology. These stories include strong, independent, feisty, and stubborn heroines. The stories include romance, vampires, danger, and fantasy. I love reading anthologies as I get to read stories by authors that I know and also discover new authors as well. These stories have a way of pulling you in and I found myself not wanting to put the book down. “Just one more story I would tell myself.” The authors have created wonderful storylines and unforgettable characters. One of the stories that I loved is: Good Bones Maggie Adams 5 out of 5 stars
I loved the story Good Bones by Maggie Adams in this box set. The main characters are stubborn, determined, and attracted to each other. The story is about family legacies, a mystery, and two people finding a connection. It has me hooked from the start and turning pages to find out what happens. It is an example of how the author has created a story with a wonderful storyline and characters. I enjoyed the historical references. This is a tale that had my emotions going up and down with the characters. It is a story perfect for this box set.
This is a collection of stories that you don’t want to miss out on.
When your world is thrown into turmoil at a young age can you recover and love and live again.
First off I need to say you will need a box of tissues, a quiet room where no one can see you cry and just soak up this glorious book. I rarely give five stars for books, although the books are brilliant in writing and characters a five star book to me has to hit me square in the chest and I have to have real gut emotion which this book does. OH MY GOSH does it.
The book follows the life of Maggie through her life and the ups and downs which follow her and boy does she have some downs, but when she finds solace in a seaside town and finds a family of sorts she starts to believe that all goods things come to those who wait. As the story goes through her life in this sleepy town it also crosses with her daughter Rachel in her life.
Rachel escaped from Shadow Brook leaving behind her family and close friends, she is a big city editor for a publishing company and has a loving husband. They have strived to have children which Maggie is pleading her to have but as the story goes through she can’t conceive so she has basically given up hope. Until one early trip back from the office to surprise her husband, her husband surprises her which has her running back to Shadow Brook and finding tragedy.
As the stories intertwine you get a feeling of the relationship Rachel had with her mother and the secrets which were buried deep all those years ago but will a stranger in the Inn open Pandora’s box and reveal a secret which has been kept from Rachel for her whole life and will she ever be the same.
I loved this book and cried so much my emotions where all over the place, the characters where rich and warm and I instantly engaged with the story from the first words. Please if there is one book you need to read it’s this one, this is the first book I have read by this author and would love to read the first book in this instalment and the rest. Thank you for letting us into your world.

Blind Magic. The Sanctuary Chronicles (Book 2) by India Kells. What a truly fantastic read. I adored this book. Real fantasy and a completely unique story. I couldn’t put this book down and was hooked from start to finish. India Kells is a awesome author, she’s got such a talented writing style and knows how to keep her audience captivated. Sera is a witch who’s recently lost her sight and given the gift of visions but Sera and people around her are in danger. Ian is a Wolf with past issues, who is drawn to Sera even though he shouldn’t be. These two characters were brilliant to get to know both their stories were intriguing and I enjoyed reading them.

Dead Magic: The Sanctuary Chronicles by India Kells is a fantastic addition to this series. It has such strong and gripping characters that will pull you entirely in to the book. Violet and Finn just worked so well together, you could feel their connection despite how much they may not want it to be there. The story was interesting too. I wanted to find out what was going on and it really made the pages turn quick. This author really knows how to write a great book. Everything I have read by her I have enjoyed and this is no exception. I would highly recommend this book and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Dares & Dice is the fifth book in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. As with the rest of the books in this series, this is a really captivating contemporary romance. You don’t need to have read the rest of the series to enjoy this one- but I really recommend that you do, as all the books are fantastic in their own right, as well as setting the atmosphere for the series as a whole and allow you to ‘see’ what goes on at the ‘adult theme park’- Spicetopia. The map at the beginning of the book gives you plenty of ideas on what Spicetopia has to offer. And let’s just say there’s a whole lot of fun to be had on that island!!! This is a sexy, flirty and fun story- with humour, funny banter and antics, a little drama, surprises, sizzling chemistry, and lots more. What happens when a bachelor party at an adult theme park meets a bachelorette party in full swing at the same venue? Roll the dice and place your bets, because the sparks are going to fly! The story was such a fun read, with a few surprising developments thrown in to keep things quite intriguing! Another fabulous read from Ms. Alexander! Hope there’s a book #6 in the works!!!

Girl Trap (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 3) by Cynthia Hamilton
This series gets better with each book and this is now my favorite of the series. I was sitting at the edge of my seat flipping pages as fast as I could just to find out what was going to happen.
Mike and Madeline are working separately for the first time since opening up their agency. Mike’s in LA helping his cousin while Madeline is in San Louis Obispo trying to track down a daughter who doesn’t want to be found. I liked Madeline from the beginning but I think I love her now. She is a bad chick and not afraid of anything at this point. And holy cow, what about Mike!? He moved up the ladder a lot after reading this.
Two very determined people will get things done and they certainly do here. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend you give it a read.

Heart of Malice (Alice Worth Book 1) by Lisa Edmonds 5 Stars
Alice has powerful magic. Since the age of six she was forced to do some unthinkable things to make her grandfather powerful and feared. Her only way to escape was to fake her own death. Taking on a new identity, she now works as a private investigator. She takes on a case that she believes is simple but turns out to be much more complicated and she almost dies. Though she trusts no one, she realizes that she needs help and recruits a ghost, werewolf and a vampire. With such a mish mash of supernaturals, things get quite interesting.
I loved this book! Alice is a force to be reckoned with yet she is insecure and closed off for the most part. Opening up is hard for her considering her past. I adored the characters and the dynamics between each of them. The world building and premise of the story will keep you riveted to your seat unable to put the book down. This is going to be an awesome series.

In this book, we meet Louvette, a teen getting adjusted to new schools but not without getting into a few fights. For the sake of her mom, she was willing to try to fit in but that doesn’t go so well as an attorney informs her she’s the beneficiary of her granddad’s estate at the Blackwood mansion but that mansion comes with lucid dreams that leave her unsettled. Her past begins to unravel as she must decide who she can and can’t trust along the way. I loved the characters from Louvette to her friend Cara and her relationship with Arsen. This is just book one and can’t wait to see what the others have in store!

A blind witch and a broken werewolf are bought together with a forbidden love spell in this book by India Kells. Sera Dover is an orphan witch where she’s obsessed with her magic and spell books. Determined to escape her past and move on with her future, she was hit with blindness unable to protect herself from a dangerous threat. Ian Macon, the werewolf, has suffered a devastating loss after his mate has passed. He doesn’t believe he’ll ever replace her but when he meets Sera and her energy draws him in from her intelligence to her strong will. Drawn to who she is, he can’t leave without protecting her even if she doesn’t know it. I loved the characters’ chemistry and the way they’re drawn to one another in a way that is undeniable. The action kept the reader on their toes watching and protecting Sera just like Ian does. The mystery is suspenseful and intriguing. Love this one!

Summer’s Stolen is my second book by Sarah Biglow. Both the first and second books were something I could not put down until I had read it all. In this installment Ezri, our main female character, is finding her footing in the world as both a cop and the Savior of the Magical Community. It was a great story as Ezri tries to put together the pieces of what is going on with her cases. My favorite characters are back and new ones are introduced as Ezri rushes to solve the mystery. It was well written and drew me in. Just a great story and welcome addition to this new amazing series.

Another Yesterday is the 2nd book in the Seashells and Second Chances Collection by Angela Christina Archer. This is a series where the lead women are overcoming hardships and are looking for a second chance. Each of the books in this series can be read as a stand-alone. This was the first time I had read any of this author’s work. I was taken in by the blurb and decided to give it a chance. I’m so glad that I took a chance on this book as I thoroughly enjoyed it. In Another Yesterday we get 2 different tales, one of the mother Maggie and the other, her daughter Rachel. This is a very emotional book that will pull you in from the very beginning and will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions and not let you go until the very end. I absolutely loved both women’s stories. The author has created 2 amazing characters and you can’t help but be totally drawn in and moved by their stories. Both women have bad experiences the first time they fall in love but fight on and face a second chance at finding true love. Will the 2 women find true love at the second attempt? I urge you to read this great book and find out for yourself.
