The North Wind DescendsThe North Wind Descends by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Lord Hani Mysteries are interesting historical mysteries. I have found myself reading these books in one sitting. I think that this book is the best so far in the series. The series is set in Ancient Egypt. N.L. Homes does an outstanding job of writing in the time period. The details are amazing and can be seen in my mind’s eye. The characters are engaging. Lord Hani is trying to keep his daughter safe from the new Queen. He is also looking for a murderer trying to keep his family safe. Can Hani keep his family safe? Can he find the murderer? Will the King keep honoring him? I recommend reading this series and read them in order so you will get more enjoyment out of the series.

The Devil’s Day (The Lucky Devil Series Book 3) by Megan Mackie – Review by Angela Hayes

The Devil's DayThe Devil’s Day by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

The Devil’s Day is the third spellbinding book in The Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie. I know I have said this before, but I absolutely love this series, it really is soooo fantastic! I have been anticipating the release of this book for a while now and was so excited when it finally hit my kindle. Ms. Mackie doesn’t disappoint– keeping me enthralled the whole way through. This is an epic urban fantasy with cyberpunk/neon-fantasy, sci-fi, dystopian, and paranormal elements. There is so much to love here- with plenty of magic, action adventure, suspense, mystery, conspiracies, hidden agendas, corporate politics, quips, banter, drama, tension, chemistry, intrigue, danger, secrets, emotion, and different realms….as well as a myriad of mystical and mythical creatures.
The overarching storyline is spellbinding and full of intricate details and incredible world building. If you haven’t read the previous books, I highly recommend that you do as not only are the stories absolutely wonderful, there’s a lot of backstory and character information there that will help you better appreciate this book- as well as build a much bigger picture.
Rune has been through, and discovered, so much since we met her back in book one. This book sees her face her biggest challenge yet- and Ms. Mackie certainly put her through her paces here. Rune has been challenged for control of her ‘House’- which is so much more than just a bar- so there’s quite a lot at stake. She isn’t sure she has what it takes to win the challenge- but time is pressing and soon she won’t have a choice. She will need to face this head on and use all the skills and connection she has gained, if she has any chance of succeeding. But there is more going on than just a ‘challenge’- as Rune will soon learn. Her lack of confidence in herself could lead to her losing all she loves. But there is a lot more to Rune than even she gives herself credit for.
Saint Benedict is a cybernetically enhanced corporate spy who has a complicated past. Again, these two will need to work closely together in order to get through this latest threat. But will secrets and betrayal destroy the trust they have built between them. With outside forces targeting them and hellbent on winning at any cost, they are put in a seemingly impossible and incredibly dangerous situation, where their options are running out and all their lives, and the fate of the ‘House’ and the Lucky Devil Bar, are all on the line. What ensues makes for an un-put-downable read!!!
Ms. Mackie has once again delivered a wonderfully rich, vibrant and vividly detailed story- set in a such a cleverly constructed and interesting world. This is world building on a masterful level. The characters are truly brilliant– so well crafted and fully developed. There are a lot of characters to keep track of, but the story is so well written that I didn’t have any trouble keeping up. I loved how the characters grow and evolve as the story progresses, especially Rune. I love the chemistry between Rune and Saint Benedict, I really hope that chemistry develops into something ‘more’. I have been rooting for them since the beginning- so they better get their act together soon.
The story twists and turns, with lots of surprises and unexpected developments that had me on the edge of my seat in expectation. I loved that this story provided so much more backstory and character revelations- there were so many fascinating details that I would love to divulge here, but I won’t as I really don’t want to spoil any of the story for you.
I can’t recommend this story and author highly enough. You really should read it for yourself, you really won’t be disappointed!!!
Can. Not. Wait. For. The. Next. Instalment!!!

Thank you, Megan Mackie!

I loved reading the book Love Heels!: The TV news business can be murder (PJ Santini Series Book Three) by Lynne Russell. It is a story that includes mystery and danger. I love PJ Santini. She is strong, intelligent, and independent. She gives her all when on a case and doesn’t stop until it has been solved. What will happen in her current case? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. The book is fast-paced and had me hooked from the very beginning. I enjoyed many of the characters that interact with PJ. Many of them are her family and friends. I love the bantering back and forth between the characters.

5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Lies That Bind (Logan McKenna Series Book 6) by Valerie Davisson. It is a story that includes mystery and danger. This book in the series has Logan McKenna meeting her half-sister Olivia as well as them both pulled into the death of a young woman. Was it an accident or murder? The story had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I loved the introduction of Logan’s half-sister Olivia. Logan was unsure of how she would feel about Olivia and it caused her to wonder about how they would get along. Read this book to find out if they find common ground. There are many twists and turns in this story that I didn’t see coming. There are also secrets revealed. Logan is a strong, independent, and intelligent woman who knows how to take care of herself and steps up to help others when needed. This series is a delight to read and each book that I read is better than the last. The author does an amazing job of making both the story and the characters come alive. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

City Without A Sun (Vampire State, #2)City Without A Sun by Alexander Charalambides

This is the second book in the series Vampire State. I highly suggest reading the first book to understand what is going on better. Alexander Charalambides put a lot of details in her story to build a world that captures your interest from the page until the last page. The storyline takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. The characters are complex and have many levels of their personality. The characters are what make this story to life. I really like Rowena’s character. She isn’t afraid to take on challenges. She pairs up with Vincenzo to find out what is going on in their progress that they have made. This story is full of adventure and some romance. This is definitely one of the series that you do not want to miss.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett is the second book in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego. This series does not need to be read in order however I would highly recommend redding them all as they are just that good!
As usual this book is an absolutely fantastic addition to what is already an amazing series. I was instantly hooked on this book as soon as I started reading. I liked that the author chose to do a story about an older couple. It isn’t something you see all that often and she did it so well that I still found myself connecting with the characters.
This book is just as exciting and thrilling as the others and I loved every minute of reading it. I cannot recommend this series highly enough – do yourself a favour and start reading it today!!!

At Last
Adams Brothers
Book 1
By Mindy McKinley
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length romance novel. OKay! More hot and steamy tales for the romance department.

Lula Stanley is a literature teacher. Her one desire is to find her father. OK maybe that could be her second desire. First is finding true happiness, as well as finding her father. Lula is very conservative in dress and attitude. That is until she listens to Jazz. Dominic he too is a teacher, as well as a playboy. He could bring Lula out of her shell. Will these two finally realize what they have tried so hard to hide? Will both of them get past their own past, and take a chance?

Mindy McKinley wrote this page turner. Jump on in the rollercoaster and keep the tissue and chocolate close by. I fell in love with Dominic and can relate to Lula. The characters are real people and have real struggles. I must say The Adams Brothers Series is becoming to be a favorite. I can’t wait for Book 2! Well done Mindy McKinley, Well Done!

The First Noel: A Tale of Friendship by Clare Johnson. I loved this story. Its the retelling of the famous Christmas Story and its so very good. Its a Christian Children’s story but even as an adult I truly enjoyed it. In the form of a poem it tells the story of Jesus’ birth. A daughter of a Wiseman meets a poor shepherd boy that turns into the Nativity Story. Even though its a children’s book it would probably be best enjoyed by older children and young adults. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you need a quick sweet read to get you in the holiday mood this is your read. The illustrations are beautifully done and its a great family read!

Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellet is the second book in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series and was another great read! Manda Mellet knocked it out again with another incredible book. I’m not a huge fan of the MC stories, but with Mellet’s great writing and amazing characters, she makes them very interesting and entertaining to read. This book had me laughing, wanting to cry, and also made me breathless. I couldn’t believe where the story was heading until it got there. I also loved the Doctor Who joke that sprinkled in the novel as well. This was a great read, and I can’t wait to read the next one!

I have read a couple of books from this author and she still continues to blow my mind on her storytelling. This is the second book of the New Orleans Nocturnal series. You don’t need to read the books in order but there are previous characters in this story as well. I love a good paranormal book but this author exceeded all my expectations on this book. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I couldn’t put it down until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this addictive story.

Sophie is supposed to be a witch like her whole family. She has been told she even smells like a witch. Sophie wants to be a witch so bad but she can’t cast a spell for nothing. She finds herself in trouble with a werewolf pack. Sophie meets Hot Trace, who is a werewolf. He bites her to protect his status. His pack is cursed by a witch and Sophie has to figure out how to prove she is innocent or she too will become a wolf. Will Sophie find a way to prove that she’s innocent or will it be too late?

Delilah is a demon who owns a bar in a busy city. After almost 200 years, life has gotten pretty mundane. She’s tired of the same old routine and decides that she needs a change (who doesn’t these days right?) What could be better than vacationing in a small town in the middle a nowhere for her to enjoy some reading and relax.

I love reading a new series and getting to know new characters and when the main character is a demon, it adds just the right amount of danger! Ms. Valkyrie’s characters are so fascinating it adds and enhances the paranormal worlds she creates. You will want to keep reading and not put the book down until to the end.

This is a book that had me hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. It is the story of a young man named Wes McCoy. He is going through his life feeling that he is judged and always compared to his older brother. He tries to take control of the one thing he can, how much he eats. When tragedy strikes this only makes his situation harder to deal with as well as his relationships with others suffer. Wes is a character that I felt empathy for, and I cared about what happens to him. The book has heartbreaking moments that I found myself with tears in my eyes. The author does a wonderful job in bringing attention to how both the person with the eating disorder feels as well as those around them trying to understand. The story is a powerful one, and I found myself thinking about it even after I had finished it. This is a book that I would encourage others to read.

Sceptre of Flint by N.L. Holmes is the third book in the Lord Hani Mystery series. This book is every bit as interesting and detailed as the other books in the series and really will draw you into its pages.
With this book you are taken back into Lord Hani and his family and it really is like slipping back into a book you are part way through. It doesn’t ever feel like you have left these characters behind. The story was as well developed and complex as I have come to expect and was just as enjoyable as all the others.
If you enjoy historical fiction then I would definitely recommend this series to you. It is evident that the author has out a lot of effort into creating a historically accurate story and it certainly pays off. This is a brilliant book and an overall brilliant series.

This was an emotional story that I could relate to being an emotional eater for many, many years. The characters brought this story to life for me. They are connectable and made the story an emotional roller coaster ride. This is a story about Wes who is nothing like his brother but when his brother dies in an accident, his life changes. This is where things really change for Wes and he turns to food for comfort. Will he take control over his life and problem before it is too late? Will he be able to repair the damage done to family and friends? Will he find himself in the process? This really is a great story that was easy to read and engaging. I highly recommend this book.

This is a rich story that builds upon itself and is best enjoyed in series order. Extremely well written. I just love these books!

High Heels And MistletoeHigh Heels And Mistletoe by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

High Heels and Mistletoe is a great book to kick off the holiday season. It revolves around the magic of Christmas and a little bit of magical curses.
Julietta is a hard working woman with an aversion to Christmas. She usually spends the holiday in a tropical location…and she is ready to leave on this year’s vacation. Unfortunately, she can’t leave until she closes the deal on the Winslow account. Luke Winslow is not making it easy and her vacation is non-refundable.
Luke Winslow is a rich playboy that embraces everything that the Christmas season entails. He is also out to find a date to his family’s Christmas Eve party that will make up for the debacle of last year. When he crosses paths with Julietta, she intrigues him from the beginning. When he finds out she is in charge of his account, he tries to woo her while hanging signing the deal over her head.
What ensues is a little bit of romance, quite a bit of humor, some personal growth, and a whole lot of Christmas magic. I enjoyed Julietta and Luke’s characters. They both evolved in their own way throughout the book. I devoured this book in one sitting because I couldn’t step away. I needed to know how it would all end up…and I was not disappointed. This is a good book to get into the holiday season.

The Sanctuary Chronicles Box Set - Book 1-3 + NovellaThe Sanctuary Chronicles Box Set – Book 1-3 + Novella by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As an avid book junkie (yep..that’s me), it’s difficult to find new authors who catch your interest. With so many genres (and we all have our favorites), at least with me, most readers tend to stick to their favorite authors. So to find a new author that really catches your interest is rare and exciting. But that’s what happened to me. Who’s the author? India Kells. Talk about refreshing! So let me explain WHY she is now a new favorite for me and will hopefully become a favorite author for YOU!

The Sanctuary Chronicles is a mish-mash of nothing but goodness! Paranormal romance AT ITS BEST. Be prepared for vampires, werewolves, and witches. Romance, mystery, and angst. Humor, intrigue, and drama. I think you’re getting the idea. Ms. Kells weaves wondrous tales throughout these books that surpass your average “good book”. As each book can be read as a standalone, do yourself a favor and pick up this box set. The books included are Broken Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles Book #1), Blind Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles Book #2), Dead Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles Book #3), and Hidden Magic (A Sanctuary Chronicles Novella). Although I would love nothing more than to tell you about the goodness in EACH and EVERY book, we don’t have ALL DAY and I think my fingers would get tired from typing, LOL.

So, what is so different about these books than any other romance novel? Well, Ms. Kells does a fabulous job in book one of setting up the characters and storyline that keeps you ensnared from the beginning until the end. This is carried through each book, where the reader keeps being enchanted with the recurring characters and a spellbinding storyline. But don’t think with all the action, suspense, and drama that Ms. Kells forgets about the feels. Those are there in-mass! Each book builds on the last leaving the reader clamoring for more. If you’ve never read Ms. Kells, this is a fabulous way to be introduced. So pick up this box of goodness and follow Valeria, Sera, and Violet as they battle dark forces, make self-discoveries, and find love all in Sanctuary.
