Calamity under the Chandelier (Sleuthing Starlet Mystery #1)Calamity under the Chandelier by Bianca Blythe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I just love a good British Novel! Calamity Under the Chandelier is a Sleuthing Starlet Mystery novel written by Camilla Blythe. This story takes place in England with two American actresses who come in and turn everything upside down! Cora is an actress who just lost her job. Veronica is her best friend, who is also an actress and who just so happened to elope with the son of a Duke. The Duke’s family is not happy this marriage took place. During this whole ordeal, a murder takes place and Veronica is pinned for it. So, Cora is on a murder mystery mission to find out who the real killer is because she is certain that her friend could not have done this. There are so many twists and turns that you have no idea who the murder truly is! This author does a really good job at sucking you in and by then you don’t want to put the book down! The characters are wonderful and interact really well together. This book makes you want to help Cora solve the murder along with her! This story was really great and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

The Princess and the Pit Bulls (The Fairy Tale Series Book 4) by Jody Lynn Daniels – Review by Angela Hayes

The Princess and The Pit Bulls (Fairy Tale Series book 4)The Princess and The Pit Bulls by Jody Lynn Daniels
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Princess and the Pit Bulls is the fourth book in the Fairy Tale Series by Jody Lynn Daniels. It is a sweet contemporary romance, about finding love where you least expect it, with wonderful characters, secrets, intriguing developments, and just enough drama to keep things interesting.
This is a modern take on the popular fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea”, and is a wonderful addition to the rest of this series. I love Chloe and Sebastian- and the addition of Bonnie and Clyde added an extra layer of charm to the story. Ms> Daniels has a wonderfully descriptive style, and an attention to detail that really brings her stories to life. She also manages to infuse quite a lot of emotion into her story, drawing me further and further into her tale and allowing me to truly connect with the characters and what they are experiencing.
Definitely my favourite of the series, so far!

Thank you, Ms. Daniels!

The Princess and The Pit Bulls (Fairy Tale Series book 4)The Princess and The Pit Bulls by Jody Lynn Daniels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great story! I love books with dogs as a part of the story and who wouldn’t love Bonnie and Clyde? Chloe and Sebastian had a really fast connection and whirlwind romance but it wouldn’t be what it was without a jealous ex or 2. My only complaint, why don’t these characters ever talk and hear each other out? Like, just call them and say “hey I saw or got or heard this and want to hear from you before I assume the worst?” But that’s just me. Chloe is a strong woman and we see her strength here but also her weakness and that’s a big heart.
Sebastian is starting over and who doesn’t love a man who loves animals as much as he does? His past is coming back to haunt him and torment Chloe.
I loved Hildy! She made me giggle and scared at the same time. And his mother, hilarious.
Great read!

The Princess and The Pit Bulls (Fairy Tale Series book 4)The Princess and The Pit Bulls by Jody Lynn Daniels
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Princess and The Pit Bulls (Fairy Tale Series book 4) by Jody Lynn Daniels was a good 4 star read.

This is a fairly quick read with a fun fairy tale theme to it. This is Sebastian and Chloe’s story.
Chloe is a designer from New York, she meets Sebastian when she is at her sister’s wedding.
Chloe has made some choices that have not worked out well for her and you feel for her and her situation.

Sebastian was great and I liked him instantly and his dogs. He and Chloe were perfect for each other. Chloe got along great with his dogs, when they normally don’t warm up to people, there was something special about her.

However, what will happen when someone tries to cause issues for them? Will the person succeed or will they get a HEA?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. The story line was good and I was pulled right in.
All the characters were great and I loved Bonnie and Clyde. I look forward to reading more from this author. If you’re looking for a great read I suggest this book. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Slaughter of Leith Hall Paperback by Lexie Conyngham is a historical, crime fiction novel. I always enjoy a good crime novel or a good historical fiction, and this book didn’t disappoint. There are twists and turns and trying to figure out who to trust. Also, this set in time when Culloden is not a distant memory and the Jacobites are feeling the pain of their losses. The characters are very interesting and I enjoyed Charlie and the changes taking place in his life. Are the changes for the best or do they benefit others more?
The author sets up a delightful mystery and in such a beautiful location, Scotland. The story swept me away and left me wanting more. I definitely look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Confidentiality is the second book in Jessica Aiken-Hall’s Scope of Practice series. You absolutely have to start with the first book Boundaries as otherwise you will have no idea what is going on, who is who and why things are happening as they are! It is a brilliant continuation of a mystery that will continue into the third story.
Valerie Williamson’s past is out in the open and everything seems perfect – her personal life is blossoming and she is getting closer to Tim who offers her more than anyone has ever offered her and she accepts it! She is forging a deeper connection with the members of the support group she leads and this connection becomes a compulsion to protect them. There are a lot of moving parts in the story that Jessica has woven and they all play their important part so do not lose sight of them! The writer is touching upon some very sensitive subjects and I commend her for that! I love the care she is taking when doing so and she goes deep … so deep it is painful … Add to the mix a string of murders that Valerie knows are connected so she puts her life into danger when she decides she needs to figure it out as she is sure they are linked to someone she cares for! The end will blow your mind and I cannot wait for the third story in the series that gives us insight into why …

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella by C.L. Schneider is the first book in The Crown of Stones Novella Series. This book is a side story of The Crown of Stones series but can be read and enjoyed easily without having read the series. This story is like others by Schneider filled with great characters and world building. It is easily to fall into the world the author has laid out for the reader. I really enjoyed the characters and the adventure of The Wandering Isles. The Isles are so interesting and puzzling at the same time. It is otherworldly and kept me reading to find out would happen.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t normally read this genre, but have made an exception for this series. C.L Schneider has such a way with words, that I find myself sucked into the book. The Wandering Isles is the first novella, following the Crown of Stones series. Normally novellas are small tidbits of information the author adds on, but this feels like it could be a full story. The imagery is wonderful, and the connection between Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane is one I’ve never seen before. While I will admit, I was lost and confused the first half of the book, the characters were too. So I don’t take it too personally, haha. I love being able to see things unfold from their point of view, and feel what they are feeling. I am glad to know the author plans to put more novellas.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Calamity under the Chandelier (A Sleuthing Starlet Mystery Book 1) by Camilla Blythe, 4 stars.

This a historical cozy mystery set in the time before WWII where Hollywood starlets were glamorous as ever. Our main character, Cora, is quite timid in the beginning of the book, but really finds herself and her inner strength as the story goes on and she is a good main character. The secondary characters are varied and interesting each in their own way.

This book is set up in your typical Agatha Christie-type fashion where we meet each of the characters and they are described in detail to us. Then the author throws in the death and has us figure out who the murderer is. Of course, they each had a motive and they aren’t what they appear. I really enjoy these types of books so this was fun to me. I did not guess the outcome and was pleasantly surprised when I got to the end. I am excited to see what book two in the series has in store.

If you enjoy Historical Cozy Mysteries, this book is for you.

This book is such a fantastic book. It was great to be able to fall back into a world that felt so familiar and yet be introduced to a new story at the same time. I thought the characters worked so well together too. The balance between them just added so much to the story.
This whole book was so well written. It was engaging right from the word go and I was sucked in immediately. I have definitely enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading more. This is a highly recommend series.

The Frontman by Lawrence Parlier a rhythmic four-star read. This is my first read by this author and it wont be my last, there was something about the mystery that just kept you hooked, I don’t know what to say as I don’t want to spill anything about this. There are great characters in this story, strong people who keep the story going and even though the story is about Rockstar Kerry Vance but he isn’t the only one we hear about and I think that was what made this story complete. Do pick this up if you are in the mood for a good mystery with great pacing and sublime characters.

This is a lovely romance story that has you pulled in from the beginning. The characters are so likeable its hard not to feel every emotion they go through.

Chloe is a designer who has her whole life and career in front of her. Or so she thought. That is until she gets involved with the wrong man and the life she started to build for herself falls apart.

Then we have Sebastian who comes to town as the local vet. He is lonely and even though he catches the eye of every woman in town the only one he wants is Chloe.

The connection between them is instant. They work so well together but they both have secrets in their past. And when that past comes to visit will they be able to get through it or will it tear them apart

It was a great read filled with every emotion imaginable.

When I say I had a hard time putting this read down I genuinely mean it, I didn’t want it end, It was as though Raif lured me into not putting this read down, but boy am I glad he did!

This read was everything and more! I was utterly compelled reading this, not only was it a paranormal read but a steamy one at that. It’s an action-packed, fast-paced read that leaves you wanting more, with its twists and turns that has you wondering what will happen next, its mentally visual descriptions that connects you to the story and characters even more.

Raif & Sara’s story in this read is dark, sensual, passionate and they have incredible chemistry, I absolutely loved these two together and loved following their journey. Will they both get what they want/desire by the end, you will have to read to find out!

You will be utterly disappointed if you miss this read, I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to see where the rest of this series goes!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book starts with us finding out that Kerry Vance has died in his hotel room of an overdose while on tour in England, this news is a shock to the system of his family, his best friend, a mystery from his past and those who know him through his music.

We start the book off a member of his family spilling orange juice all over the floor in shock and having to reign themselves in from emotionally collapsing until their daughter leaves for school.
Next we see his best friend amidst a horrendous hangover trying to take in the news, they are rudely awoken from a stupor by their other best friend, who seems determined to finish off what the alcohol, anger, devastation and drugs had started the night before. From their point of view, what the news has reported about Kerry’s death isn’t all adding up and that it was not in Kerry’s’ character to go the way he did but is determined to somehow get to the truth of the matter.

Finally we meet a long time friend of Kerry who is also hit hard by the news of his death and is desperately trying to come to terms with the news when a mysterious package from Kerry himself arrives. As they remember their time with him, they are confused as to why they have received this package and eventually pluck up the courage to open the box and read the letter addressed to them. The contents of this are a shock to the system as is the realisation why Kerry has sent it and the strange request within it.

The story continues as this request is followed to the letter, but what with trying to both stay out of trouble and cause it all at the same time, whether it can be done is another thing completely.

There are plot twists and turns in this story and nothing is as it seems throughout. It is a non-stop whirlwind that keeps your emotions on edge and a need to know how it will end, will keep you reading.

The Wandering Isles is a novella that follows the Crown of Stones trilogy. Even though you can read this story as a standalone, I highly recommend reading The Crown of Stones books. They are amazing!

As with The Crown of Stones, The Wandering Isles is expertly written. I was sucked into the story within the first paragraph and felt like I was living in the book with the characters. The world building in all of the books I’ve read by this author is excellent, and this book is no exception. I can see it like a movie in my mind as I read.

You really get to know the characters on a deeper level in this book as it’s a novella focused on a specific event. Even though it’s a shorter story, you don’t feel like you are missing anything.

After Ian Troy sacrificed everything for peace, he decided to leave Mirra’ kelan with his one friend Jarryd Kane. They became explorers of the high seas, travelling wherever the wind blew. Deciding to explore the old routes of his ancestors, he tried to find the Wandering Isles. Unfortunately, some things shouldn’t be found. They were forced into a trade that pushed the boundaries of their sanity.

This is a complex story that plays on the darker side. It is about two people who have lived through hell and having to face their nightmares to overcome their fears. Sometimes it is the “what if’s” that are worse. What can come out of the recesses of your mind are sometimes worse than reality. The story is well written though I did find it somewhat redundant the constant switch between nightmare and reality. There is a twist near the end which can lead into many more wonderful stories in this series.

So you would think after 11 books in this series I would be getting fed up but I am not – not one bit! I absolutely LOVE this series, the authors beautiful writing is a huge part of that. I just adore the characters she creates; they are so wonderful to read about. Each story in this series is completely different even though they are based around the same thing. I just loved Elizabeth and Zack! Right from the beginning I just knew that this story would pull at my heartstrings – and it did. For me the author did an amazing job with Kyle’s character (Beth’s son) I think it’s easy for author’s to be stereotypical when writing about disabilities or mental health for example but this author never does. Zach’s character was not what I was expecting but I loved him so much and could really feel how he was feeling at times.
Yet again Ms Ferguson has written another wonderful story and I 100% recommend it as I do with all of her amazing work!

Kelly Turner loves being a florist, and being asked to take the lead on the new site for the town’s festival is an honor. If only she didn’t have to work closely with the town player, Tate Prentice. After being burned once by a serial cheater, her inconvenient attraction toward Tate needs to be nipped in the bud.

Tate Prentice’s focus is on ensuring his father recovers fully from his stroke and making sure the family’s peach farm continues to thrive. When his brother nominates the farm to be the satellite site for the festival, he’s less than impressed. The only good thing is he’ll be working with Kelly – even though he knows she’ll never give him a second glance, not with his reputation.

The more time Kelly spends with Tate, the more she sees the man behind the reputation. Can she trust her instincts, or will her heart be broken once again?

3.5 out of 5 stars

When I stumbled across Virtually Gone, I was really intrigued. Not only did the synopsis set the premise of a good story, I was drawn by the fact that this series is comprised of various authors and their contributions. This review is difficult for me as I feel my opinions are contradictory. I will start by saying I really liked the book overall. It was about 150 pages so it proved to be a really fast read. While it had my attention from the beginning, it was simultaneously hard for me to get into the storyline because for whatever reason, I had a hard time initially keeping the main characters straight. I did like the chemistry between characters, however.
I thought the story flowed well and it was different subject matter than I find myself gravitating toward regularly. I am interested in exploring Jacquie Biggar’s writing more in the future as this was my first experience with this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have really been enjoying the Scope of Practice books so far by Jessica Aiken-Hall. She is really good at weaving a detailed and gripping thriller that will keep you fully engrossed from the get-go until the very last page. Confidentiality is the second book in the series and I would recommend that you read the first one before diving into this one. We get a lot of background and character building in that one that carries over and enriches this story very well.

In Confidentiality we find Valarie feeling like she finally has things in order and is living a life she enjoys, although not the one she had anticipated for herself. Things take an even darker and twistier turn when a serial killer is among them. The murders seem to have some coincidental aspects but is it just that at a coincidence? I loved the different layers that are laid out for us as we read. It is not just one steady storyline and things are so well put together that it feels flawless and effortless to follow along. I am super excited to see what the next book will entail.

The FrontmanThe Frontman by Lawrence Parlier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns that The Frontman took. Reading the blurb, I knew it was about the death of Kerry Vance. Kerry is the lead singer of band going on tour. His death is what you come to expect of those leading the rock star life…drug overdose in a hotel. However, those that really knew Kerry aren’t believing what they are being told. Enter Calliope, a woman from Kerry’s past, to start helping those in Kerry’s life find out what really happened.

There were so many twists in this story. Each person who plays a role in this book has a connection to Kerry…but what happens when paths start crossing and everyone’s little pieces of Kerry’s story begin to reveal the bigger picture. This is a story of loss and love…but also self-discovery and healing. I found myself pulled into the story from the beginning, wanting to know what really happened. I liked some characters while despising others. I was also surprised at the link between people and the roles they played in Kerry’s life. All together, a good story that is definitely worth a read.

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (The Crown of Stones Novella Series Book 1) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Angela Hayes

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (The Crown of Stones Novella Series)The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella by C. L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Wandering Isles, A Crown of Stones Novella is the first book in the Crown of Stones Novella Series by C.L Schneider. As with the original Crown of Stones Trilogy, this is a very intriguing action-packed fantasy adventure- with wonderful originality, magic, discoveries, dramatic developments, and superb world building.
This could be read as a standalone, but I think that as this book draws on events and characters which occurred in the original trilogy, that this book would be better enjoyed and appreciated having read the Crown of Stones Trilogy first.
We watched Ian Troy go through so much, at great sacrifice to himself, in the Crown of Stones Trilogy. Now just because the realm doesn’t need him and his magic anymore- doesn’t mean his adventures are over. He just doesn’t realise that just quite yet. But he will. Ian sets sail to do some exploring, and soon finds himself on the shores of the mysterious Wandering Isles. The area seems to be abandoned- but are they really? What happens next makes for an exciting and intriguing read which will see Ian and Jarrod tested again in ways they could have never imagined.
A well-crafted, clever, and creative story that sets this new novella series off to a great start. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Thank you, C.L Schneider!
