This is my first read from this author and I’m so glad that I picked this read up! This is an epic adventurous read that takes you on a journey of fantasy, paranormal and magic! I totally hooked with this read and pulled along with the storyline of our characters. I had no problem connecting to our main character Edmond, and loved following along on his journey throughout this read! I was left, wanting to find out more and what would happen next. I highly recommend this read and can’t wait to read more from this author!

Grumbler’s Ride(Satan’s Devils MC #2) By Manda Mellett review by Crystal Davidson

Grumbler's Ride (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #2)Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grumbler’s Ride is book 2 in Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series, and i absolutely LOVED it! I picked this book up because i just finished Being Lost, which is the first book in this series and decided that Manda Mellett is quickly becoming one of my favorite romance authors. Every single book she writes makes you fall in love with a different Motorcycle man because her characters are always HOT with a capital T, protective, capable, strong, sincere, funny, easy to relate to, and just downright irresistible, and Grumbler is no different, even though he’s a touch older than I have any business oogling. He is the Seargent at Arms for the MC, meaning he helps to keep order, and makes sure requests and orders made by the President of the MC are enforced. His one true love is his bike. All chrome and sexy-like. Until Mary and Alicia and things in his life start heating up. This story has some sensitive subject matter that usually i wouldn’t be able to read without a few days’ worth of reflecting, however like the usual Mallett finesse, this book has plenty of steam, suspense, wonderful characters and action to help you keep moving forward. This book was definitely another 5 start read and im excited to see which character book 3 is going to cover!

War of the Damned (Relic Hunters, #3)War of the Damned by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Adam and the British Museum crew are back on a new mission to discover a German U-Boat near scotland. But as usual there are others after it too. The story tracks back to the World War II when Hitler and the British soldiers were engaged in the brutal war. This book covers the horrors of the second world war and the escapade of Dunkirk. It is a very good historic fiction book with lot of action and adventure.

I love this author, I have read all his three books and wish to read more. Whenever I read his books, I am reminded of Indiana Jones and his adventures. Keep them coming.

The Mummy of Monte CristoThe Mummy of Monte Cristo by J. Trevor Robinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the tale this is based off of and was excited to see how Robinson would stay true to the material while putting a paranormal spin on the context. Anyone that has spent any time in the pages originally spun by Dumas will find Robinson staying true to major character details and plot movement. The pacing felt similar and there was a certain epic scale to this tale that is often not part of modern fiction. I was intrigued to read these pages to find how the paranormal spin would root and resolve. I embraced this new spin on a classic and thoroughly enjoyed it. The original is a classic and cannot be truly matched. However by changing the environment and a few key plot points, Robinson does a beautiful job refreshing it and staying true to its basic principles. Loved it.

5/5 Stars

Night Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel #1) by India Kells

Kells has done it once again. I love seeing characters from her other books and I can’t wait for the next book in the series. Kells has a very devoted fan right here.

Orla, the journalist and mad woman, is finally getting to do what she does best. Heading into dangerous territory. When she finds herself face to mask with the Vigilante. The quote I chose for Orla is: “I’m only asking you to get me through the doors and point me to the people I’m looking for. That’s it. Minimal risk for you. Almost none. As soon as I’m in, feel free to leave. I don’t need a shield, I need a way in, and you’re it.”

Sam, bad boy gone half good, is finding a new drug coming onto the streets of Chicago. He follows his guy when the journalist gets information for him. The quote I chose for Sam is: “Who I am is not important. Stopping Phantom’s distribution and getting rid of the monsters who’ll spread it like a disease over this city is. Now, tell me what you know. Why did you meet with Damon Evans at the El Diablo tonight?”

Highly recommended for crime lovers. Its worth the read!

Safe Harbor: A Logan McKenna Mystery is the fifth book in the Logan McKenna series by Valerie Davisson. This book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend you read the series in order. All of the books feature Logan McKenna, a smart, determined, and independent woman. The characters have grown as this series progresses. I was amazed by the descriptions of the Oregon Coast, it makes me want to visit.
Now let e tell you, this is a wonderful murder mystery. It had me up reading half the night just to see how it would end. I was surprised about the twists and turns, and it kept me guessing until the end. I highly recommend this book, series and author.

The Dog Thief and Other Stories
By Jill Kearney
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book The Dog Thief and Other Stories by Jill Kearney. It is a collection of stories that are both heartbreaking and also heartwarming. They intertwine the lives of human and the animals that they care about. The stories had my emotions going up and down the entire time that I was reading them. I found myself thinking about these stories well after I had read the final page of the book. There are wonderful characters to read about and also ones who seem to think of the animals in their care as property more than the treasure that they are. I found myself with misty eyes quite a few times while reading these stories. The author does a wonderful job in making both the stories and the characters come alive. Don’t miss out on this set of wonderful stories that you will not soon forget and will have you not wanting to put the book down until the final page of the book has been read. I highly recommend reading this book.

I loved reading the book The Bullet Theory (Dr. Nolan Mills Book 1) by Sonya Jesus. It is a story that had me hooked from the very beginning. One of the reasons that this book is so good is the characters of Eleanor Deveraux and Dr. Nolan Mills. Eleanor is a woman who is living day by day with thoughts of revenge. She is a woman who is intelligent, strong, and intent on a path that she feels will mend her mind. Dr. Nolan Mills is a therapist that is helping Eleanor with her life. He is a mysterious and intriguing character. How far will Eleanor go? What will she do when offered a chance at revenge? Read this book to find out. This story had me wondering what was going to happen next. Eleanor is a character that I couldn’t help but have empathy for. Other characters are introduced that are also interesting to read about. Revenge, manipulation, and trauma are included in this book. This is a story that will have you asking yourself what I would do in the same situation. Don’t miss out on a story that you will not want to put down until the final page. Even then I couldn’t put it out of my mind. Wonderfully written. I highly recommend reading it.

This book has everything I want in a small town romance. The author’s attention to detail made me feel like I was right there in the story.

The Devil’s Day (The Lucky Devil Book 3) by Megan Mackie is a Sci Fi Fantasy story. Rune and St. Benedict are back and find themselves in a magical fight. Along the way Rune is faced with secrets, lies and betrayal. I wanted to shake her shoulders and tell her to wake up and get her stuff together but not only that I wanted to smack St Benedict. The first half of the book was a little slow and took a while to get into it but the second half is where things pick up and the action begins. You really need to read the other two books in this series before you read this one otherwise, I think you will find it hard to settle in this story.

This is not what was expected at your mother’s Christmas party. What will happen when you throw all the rules out the door? I highly recommend reading to find out what happens.

I enjoyed this book and it is one of my favorites by this author. This author continues to impress me with her writing skills and her attention to details. This book is no different. It is full of suspense, action and revenge. The characters are well throughout and bring the story to life. I had no problem connecting with them. The twists and turns left me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. Some of them even shocked me. Eleanor’s relationship has been falling apart and now she just wants some revenge. When she finds herself working with him, she finds herself in her therapists office. There is a killer on the loose that needs to be caught. The problem with this is that the person who is trying to help her could be the one she is after. When faced with revenge, will she take it or will she do what’s right? Eleanor is my favorite. She is strong and really just made the story for me. This was an easy story to read as it was entertaining as well as suspenseful. This made a great afternoon read on a cold day. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I enjoy India Kells books and this one I have to say is my favorite so far. This book takes place in my hometown Chicago. It is always reading books about the city you grew up in. The plotline is engaging and the characters are well developed. There is a vigilante who patrols the nights when all of the darkness comes out to play. The vigilante has decided to work with newspaper writers, Orla Karlsen to help clean up the streets. This is where the story gets good. There is such a chemistry between the vigilante and Orla. Will they be able to keep the focus on cleaning up the shadows and get the drugs off of the streets? I highly recommend reading this story to see what happens. I cannot wait to see what is going to be coming next.

War Of The Damned by Martin Ferguson is the third book in the Relic Hunters series. Although the story itself is a stand-alone I would definitely recommend reading this series in order so you can get a full understanding of the characters involved.
This book is as exciting and attention grabbing as the first two books. Possibly even more so. I love anything WWII related, I am fascinated by what was such a different time. This book pulls together a story based on that time and the present so well that I was engrossed immediately.
I loved falling back in with the team – you really do connect with them throughout the whole series that it is so easy to pick back up with them in each book.
This whole series is amazing and this book has got to be my favourite so far. I am looking forward to whatever comes next!

I am such a huge fan of India Kells and she never ceases to amaze me! It seems like every new book she writes quickly becomes my new favorite and Night Justice is no different. This is a truly phenomenal read, from the very beginning I was hooked! I was able to read it in one sitting as I just couldn’t bring myself to put it down, I was completely captivated from the first chapter.

Night Justice is dark, intense, steamy and very action-packed. There’s truly never a dull moment. India writes with so much detail which made it easy to picture everything playing out in my mind which made this such a great read! I fell in love with these characters from the beginning and I just couldn’t get enough, and even now that I’ve reached the end I still want more, I cannot wait to read more of this series ASAP. Well done India Kells!!

I was going through a reading slump when I started reading this but it was so easy to read and Sarah is just a really likeable and funny character! I feel like I really related to her despite being in my early 20’s.

Sarah is your average popular high school girl who cares too much about her image. However, puberty and other supernatural abilities hit her as she discovers more about the boarding school she’s at.

This story has a mix of mystery, humour, supernatural/paranormal elements and an adorable talking beaver! I think it was done really well and I can’t wait to read more from this author!

She really made the story come to life with her storytelling and character building. This story had me on an emotional ride because of the characters. I felt like I personally knew them and could feel exactly what Addie was going through. In this story, Addie has been through some rough heartaches. She finds herself as a single mom. She left Jake, the father and never told him that he was a father. This was a big secret to keep from him. Jake finds Addie and his daughter and he is bound to be with Addie to help raise his daughter. There was a secret Jake was holding on too as well. What will Addie do? Does she want to share her daughter? Does she want a second chance with Jake? What will Jake do? Will he fight for Addie? Will he be a father to the daughter he did not realize he had?

Besides having great characters and just a really good story what I love about these stories is the history and the skillful weaving of fiction around real facts. I haven’t read a book yet by Martin Ferguson that hasn’t inspired me to do a little research. War of the Damned delivers on the action as well as the history. Although the target audience is a much younger set than my own, I enjoy them just the same. I wish Martin Fergusson had been around when I was a teen.

Of course, the characters remain wonderful but oh what a wonderful new world. And zombies! Dear reader, don’t pass this one up. This is golden.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a book about second chances and trust. All of us are heartbroken at one point of time or another and it takes years to rebuild the faith and trust in one’s life. Addie has a troubled childhood and she was forced from her childhood home by her mother. Later, when she is an adult, Addie is still confused and insecure. She leaves her boyfriend and decides to raise her daughter on her own.
When Jake runs into her 12 years later, Addie still does not trust him and runs away again. This time Jake follows her as he is determined to have his daughter back in his life.
This story is more about relationships than romance. There are many places where emotions run deep and the characters are confused and messed up. It is about embracing life with all it’s faults and give a second chance to yourself and to those who matter to you.

A deep read, but an enjoyable one!
