Hungry Business: A Short Story by Maria DeBlassie is a horror story. It is a short story but as we know Maria has the knack for writing quirky, original and unusual stories. It is easy to become completely immersed in it making it feel like you have run a marathon in post-apocalyptic dating world. It is a little silly, a little creepy, a little strange but fun looking for love in a new world of zombies. Like the Walking Dead? You will love this book.

I have quickly come to love the Life is Hell series by Naomi Valkyrie. I was super excited to read book 3, Hell in a Handbasket, and it did not disappoint. I do not normally read books about the paranormal, nor books focused around M/M/NGBTQ characters, but I really do love this series. Well done Valkyrie! I don’t know where your idea spring from, but keep them coming. The characters have come to life, and I love the little paranormal family that is built in this series. I appreciate that the relationships are clear, but they are subtle, and not graphic. More inferred than actually spelled out. This book focuses around Teivel and Oren- the most unlikely couple ever! A Demon, and a Demon Hunter; a killer and a cop… but it totally works. I loved the reveal of Teivel’s past, and why he is such a jerk. As well as the history of Teivel and Malachai. The next story sounds interesting… I’m curious to see how that is going to work. To be continued…

Cursed Sight is the second book in the Broderick Coven series by A.J Renee.
Before reading this I hadn’t read the first book in the series. I would recommend reading it first, just so you can enjoy it even more. Despite jumping straight into book two I was able to piece things together easily. Cursed Sight is the story of Ethan and Serena. Ethan is an oracle who is looking for guidance to help develop his power. Serena is the High Priestess of her coven and is looking for an oracle to join her coven.
Despite having not read the first book (although I have since gone back and read that too) I was hooked really quickly by the characters and the storyline. I read this in an afternoon, it is action-packed, fast-paced, and I didn’t want to put it down. It was one of those stories where I needed to know what happened next. The characters are great, I was totally invested. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series now.

But the high-powered job didn’t quite factor into the equation.
Nor did the attractive boss in dire need of a friendly shoulder to cry on…
Kris fell, head over heels over hormones, for the damaged b*tch who became his power-woman sex-goddess wife.
All Nicole wants is to be a better mother, and a wife more worthy of the husband she loves with every fibre of her body, but she is constantly yanked away by her job and her overbearing boss Darren Hart.
But Darren has marital problems of his own – and, when he confides in her, Nicole realises just how easily a happy marriage can crumble.
…Can she keep her own from doing the same?
Told from both points of view, “Climbing The Walls” explores the fibres that hold a marriage together – love, trust, forgiveness… and of course, the earth-shattering sex that will not be denied.
***Real emotion. Real life. Real love. This is NOT a glossy love story. But if you’re looking for a romance read that will rattle you… characters that will change you… and love that will last in your mind long after you’re finished… THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU.***
Sacha T. Y. Fortuné writes “Real-life Romance” Women’s Fiction with difficult to love characters and unpredictable storylines that will make you think and feel things.

There’s a little bit of her in all the “Hart & Cole” women, who have been pleading with her for almost two decades to do them justice.

In the mystic land of Aztlan del Norte, a realm of supernatural happenings and unexpected turns of fate, psychiatric healer Gabriél de LaTierra encounters appalling evil within the Orphanage of the Holy Innocents. Children disappear for reasons kept secret by Mother Juana de la Cruz, Superior of the Nunnery and the Orphanage.
Love for Mother Juana, Gabriél’s widowed mother turned religious superior, clouds her devoted son’s mind. Consuela, Gabriél’s wife, confronts his wall of denial. Torn between love for mother and wife, Gabriél turns inward.
It is Consuela who propels Gabriél’s discovery of the nighttime blood sacrifice of children in the desert, a centuries-old ritual that imparts immortality to Mother and her nuns. Gabriél is further enraged by Mother Juana’s vengeful attack on Consuela and her kidnapping of their four-year-old son, Cuauhtémoc. But his actions will determine whether Consuela and Cuauhtémoc live or die, and the fate of Mother Juana de la Cruz.
Goddess of Everything is a blood-curdling tale of the affection of one mother for her son and her son’s struggle for truth, freedom, and love.

READ THIS BOOK!!! The first in a three book series, this book by far was the best of the bunch. I laughed, I cried, and I feel in love with Dom and Lula! The storyline was funny, heartfelt, romantic, and exciting. I was so invested in the story, I actually lost sleep staying up through the night to finish it, lol. If Mindy McKinley can recreate this story dynamic and flow with her writing on future books, I will definitely be reading more of her work going forward.

This story is full of adventure and mystery and kept me guessing until the very end! It is a very intriguing short story about a group of young students trying to solve a mystery in their small town. The story follows a group of young investigators as they follow leads of fires, caves and much more. They have been investigating this mystery since before the story begins and the mysteries kept piling up! It has a very diverse cast of characters, which was a nice change from most stories out there.
After the first two chapters I was so intrigued about the mysterious goings on and wanted to know everything, could not put it down. I finished it in one sitting for I wanted to know all the answers. I had more and more questions after each chapter, keeping me invested in the story until the very end. I did wish some things had more of an introduction or explanation, but for the most part it flowed well. If you love stories that have tons of mystery set in a small town then this one is for you! I got very Sherlock Holmes vibes and loved that!
There were some darker parts not great for very young children, but was a story I would read with children maybe 7/8 and older.
All in all an entertaining read, perfect for a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Learning to Live: An Enemy to Lovers Ugly Cry (The Infinite Love Series Book One) By Kira Adams 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Learning to Live: An Enemy to Lovers Ugly Cry (The Infinite Love Series Book One) by Kira Adams. It is a story that had my emotions going up and down. I loved the character of Ciera. She is a young woman who is intelligent, strong, and faces situations that are very difficult to endure. I had a harder time warming up to Topher, He is arrogant, confident, and is seeing Ciera in a new light. After a while, he developed into a character that I liked. What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me turning pages to see what happens next. The author does a wonderful job of making the story and the characters come alive. There are additional characters some of whom are friendly and others who are hurtful. Don’t miss out on an amazing book that is entertaining and takes you on an emotional journey that you will not soon forget. I highly recommend reading it.

The Buccaneers of St. Frederick Island by Linda Maria Frank 4 Stars!!!!
I have once again discovered a new author. I have to admit that although the book is short it is full of drama and intrigue. I was very surprised at just how much was packed into this book. I don’t usually go for this genre but I thought I would take a chance and was not disappointed.
The author does a great job of bringing the characters to life and the adventure that pursues really grabs the reader and holds you till the end. I could not put this book down. I liked how the story was in first person narrated by the main character. I also like how the author brings in small back story to keep the reader in the know and story line flowing. I will definitely read more from this author.

Cursed Sight (Broderick Coven Book 2) by AJ Renee 4 Stars!!!!
Wow is all I can say. I know I once again have started a series out of order but man I can say that I was not at all at a loss. I totally could see how this could be a continuation as well as how the story line was formed. The author has such a unique style and I was definitely hooked. This is one of my favorite genres so I was eager to read this book.
Ethan and Serena have such a great chemistry. I could feel the drama shrouding them and like how the author was able to keep the story fresh and unpredictable. I like how she helps him and they really both complete one another. The author has a great series here and I look forward to reading more.

This is a Horror short story coming in at around 15 pages. If you are looking for a quick read, look no further. Dating. More like, trying to find “the one” you have been looking for all your life. How hard could that be? Ah, but dating during a zombie apocalypse makes it all that much harder.

I was hesitant about this one at first. It’s challenging to write about mythical creatures being super heroes without it coming off as hammy or cliché, but Mythical Alliance gets it just right. I read the first book, Phoenix Selected, and I enjoyed getting to know Zariya, the half human, half naga hybrid, and Konstantin Bauer, the mysterious vampire. They were great as individuals and had great chemistry together. The world building was also spot on. The different mythical creatures, or supes, were integrated into the modern world believably, and each race was described as if they naturally belonged to the plot and setting. I highly recommend this series. It’s well written and is a fantastic example of great story telling.

The Buccaneers of St. Frederick Island by Linda Maria Frank was a really good read. I wasn’t sure what to expect reading this book, and it was a very pleasant and easy read. This was definitely a book for all ages. It was an interesting little adventure, children’s mystery book to read. This was also a very quick read, which I enjoyed. I really enjoyed the little back story at the beginning, of the authors childhood. It was very interesting to me. This wasn’t my favorite book I’ve read, but it was really good nonetheless. I would definitely read more from this author in the future.

The Buccaneers is an exciting mystery suitable for readers of all ages. This book, set in the post-WWII era on a small island, delivers a cast of young teens who have formed a club to watch over their island, and hunt for clues to get answers to their questions. The story centres around the island’s latest mystery, which becomes more tangled and complex as the kids share information, hunt down clues, and dare to explore shadowy caves in pursuit of their villain. It is reminiscent of the Scooby Doo gang as they head toward “unmasking” the dastardly troublemakers. I found the story to be fast-paced and very plot-driven. Much happens in these 89 pages, and keeping up with the events was sometimes challenging. I wish there had been more introduction to various plot points; I often found myself confused in the twisting action. More description of the physical island and background on the various relationships would have been valuable, and made this easier to follow for me. All in all though, it was a good story with lots of action, and I would recommend it to other lovers of Young Adult whodunnit-type books.

Learning to Live: An Enemy to Lovers Ugly Cry (The Infinite Love Series, #1) by Kira Adams
Adams has made my heart break with this story. Learning to Live is an amazing tear-jerker. It’s a great read and I can’t wait for the next one.
Ciera is in her senior year and has a brain mass. No one outside her mom knows she’s dying. Oregon is the one state where she can assist suicide. She’s chosen a date and falls in love. The quote I chose for Ciera is: “You don’t care what anyone thinks anymore. Your reputation is the least of your worries.”
Topher is the jock popular guy who picks on others. When he finds that his girlfriend is sneaking around with his best friend things change. He knows Ciera and he’s picked on her. When she seizes in front of him he panics. The quote I chose for Topher is: “Are we really going to play the what-if game? What if Sophia hadn’t slept with Joe? What if my dad wasn’t gay? It doesn’t f**king matter because it’s not real. I can’t take back the sh***y things I did to you, but I can be a better person. I can’t explain the way you make me feel, but I can tell you I’ve never felt more alive in my entire life than when I’m with you.”
Highly recommended for contemporary romance lovers.

I really enjoyed this story. It has a mixture of romance and paranormal which I love. It is a sweet story set in an ancient plantation. I’ve never read a book before where I was thinking about the main characters history or the colour of their skin but the beauty of this book is that the author brings a lot of the main characters history and culture into it.
Kendyll is a romance writer. Her relationship with her partner is rocky so when she gets a chance to move them to a new home and a fresh start she jumps at it. However the home she falls in love with is a old plantation home. As a young black woman why is she drawn to a place where they used to have black slaves? After she takes over the house she starts to have dreams about the people who used to live there.
Are the dreams memories or just the imagination of a romance writer?
Add to this the confusion she feels with regard to Wes the man helping her restore the house. Feeling attraction to a white man is not allowed and is frowned upon by her family. So why can’t she stop the feelings towards him? Is Wes the man that appears in her dreams or is the romance of the house and its history making her recreate things.
What I love about this book is there is a chance for forgiveness, love and recovery in more ways than one. But there’s more fight you would think as Amanda has two guys to consider. I love that she was able to overcome all of her obstacles and find love but it’s worth a read to see how much she’s been up against.

I found myself pulled into the pages of this story and couldn’t put it down until I was done.
Amanda is starting her first year of college with her best friends. Since one of them is in a fraternity, and one of them is dating a fraternity member, she finds herself at the frat house her very first night on campus. There, she meets Doug and Zack. She finds herself spending a lot of time with Doug…but he never makes the move to be more than friends. A serious injury has her spending even more time with Doug…and Zack. An almost-kiss on Halloween sends her away from one while bringing her closer to the other. Can Amanda find happiness? Or is she hiding the truth from herself?
I found myself drawn to Amanda. Her character enjoys her independence and finds it hard to adapt when an injury has her relying on others. Her feelings are a mess because she can’t tell if she is being strung along or if she is imagining something that isn’t there. All the supporting characters were enjoyable and I wanted to know more about all of them! I am hoping there will be other books in the series!

Is This Me? By Tricia Copeland is book one of the Being Me series. I absolutely devoured this book! This book is a coming of age/new adult clean romance.
Amanda is a college freshman and she’s got it all planned out. She doesn’t expect that her plan will be derailed on the first day. Amanda meets up with her friends and is introduced to the brothers at her friend, Mark’, fraternity. Doug and Zach are two people she ends up being pretty close to especially after an accident leaves her needing a lot of assistance from her friends, especially Doug. Even though he’s turned her down, she’s determined to be friends no matter how difficult it is. Zach makes it a little easier though, that and avoiding Doug. Can Amanda withstand all the turmoil she’s facing and make it out unscathed?
I don’t like Doug. I did at first and his develops well but I don’t like him for Amanda. From the beginning, Zach felt more like where Amanda should end up. This book is deep and you can relate to the characters and the feelings. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Black Dog Rising by Kat Caulberg was a gripping story! I felt hooked by the supernatural elements and could not put it down. I loved all the twists and turns, it really developed beautifully. I loved Emma and Toby and the wild ride they went on. I was rooting for Emma and really felt connected with her. Toby was a mystery I felt compelled to solve. Acaptivating read with all of my favorite elements!

Phew, this was one heck of a fantasy series, strap yourself in for some awesome sauce characters and a really interesting and vibrant world. I was honestly hooked from the first to the last. The books follow Zariya, a half-human, half Naga (some sort of snake supe) badass who is so sassy and such a fun character to read. In the first book, she is left reeling from the death of her father, believing that there was something suspicious about it, in order to find out the truth she joins a supe special forces called Veil Force and there her journey begins, becoming part of the Phoenix team. There she meets Konstantin, her boss and someone who she feels an irresistible attraction towards and various other awesome badass supes, together they bounce from one problem to the next, kicking all the butt and taking all the names. I really loved the vibe of these stories, as I’ve said Zariya is a sassy and screams an easy confidence that oozes off the page and it is impossible not to feel an instant connection with her. I loved, loved, loved the banter throughout these stories, in some other series I’ve found that the banter between characters can feel forced and unnatural but Luana nails it. She also nailed drawing the reader into the world and making it feel stupidly real. Totally finished this book believing that Veil Force was real and that I could hop, skip and jump out the front door and go sign myself up for the Phoenix Team banter at the ready and all ready for the doe eyes to send Konstantin’s way. I was very gutted when it all came to an end, to be honest, I felt like they were people I’d actually met, real-life friends that I wouldn’t be able to see anymore and it was really gutting for me. This says a lot about Luana’s writing and real she makes all of her characters feel. I would definitely recommend this series, it’s now up there as one of my favourite series and I think I’m definitely going to read it again because I feel like a read it a bit fast in a desperate bid to find out what happens next hehe. My bad. You should give this series a go though, it has action, mystery, intrigue, romance, and fantasy which in my opinion are all the best things so you can’t go wrong really, can you? Go on, give it a read, you know you want to.

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season (Mythical Alliance #1-6) by Claire Luana
5 out of 5 stars
I have read a fee books by this author and I simply loved then I even read this story in one sitting (In 1 day) but it does have a cliffhanger. The plot was awesome and different and the characters are well written. I just loved their quirkiness.
We follow Zariya Chanji, and she is convinced her father was murdered and she will stop at nothing to uncover the truth–even if she must break into the headquarters of one of the most powerful organizations in the world. MASC, the Mythical Alliance of Supernatural Creatures, governs the lives of supes like herself, and she knows they had a hand in covering up her father’s murder. She does not understand, why they are covering his death up? After breaking int the MASC headquarters she is offered to join one of the covert Special Forces teams, as it’s the only way to secure a chance at revenge against the bastards that killed her father. But life on Phoenix Team may be more than Zariya bargained for and the deeper she gets, the more dangers lurk in the shadows, and the harder it becomes to tell friend from foe. Throw in a sexy vampire and her four deadly demons and what could a girl ask for… Will Zariys like the truth when she learns it? Will she stay alive long enough to learn the truth? And what is going on with her sexy vampire? You will need to read this complete season to find out what happens… Tracy @tracym

The Buccaneers of St. Frederick Island by Linda Maria Frank is a story which reminded me of famous five.
Set on St. Fredericks Island in 1947 , a group of kids raise money to buy toys for children. But, the money is stolen, this group forms an investigation club called the Buccaneers and try to solve it themselves.
This story is amazing for young readers. It has adventure, humor and a lot of action. The plot is gripping and the characters very engaging and relatable. I had a great time reading this book.

I really enjoyed this paranormal Boxset. I have picked up this authors books before and they have always been good and this set is no different. This set of six books is packed with adventure, suspense and even a little romance. Each book builds off the last and I loved following along and seeing where each story was headed. I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future and I would recommend this to a friend! Happy Reading!

Hell In A Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie is the 3rd book in the Life Is Hell series. I love, love, love, this series. The characters are well written and you will want to read them in order to get the best experience of reading about them. There’s action, suspense, romance, the group works as a team, and all in all it keeps my attention. We met both Oren and Teivel in previous books. Oren’s family are Demon Hunters who have lived in Juniper Lake for generations but didn’t receive all the training due to his relatives passing. Teivel is a Demon who has a big attitude. The way these two come to be close and more sure of each other is a great part of the story. You won’t be disappointed!
