Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster (Frat House Confessions, #6)Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved this book! It’s a feel good book about a boy and a girl who meet each other in an unconventional way. Boy likes girl, girl knows better. The characters are very relatable and really make you feel like you are in the book. The writing style is easy to read and addicting to get lost in. It makes you miss your college days and really remember to cherish those close to you. Read this book if you like witty banter, romantic build up, and a relatable coming of age story.

This is the first book I have read by L. A. Detwiler, and I am beyond impressed. This twisted and gripping novel was the most original books I have had the pleaser to read.
Suspenseful and horrifying, get ready to jump inside the minds of characters in what feels like an authentic dip into madness.
Multiple points of view told from different timelines keeps you guessing until the very end with a very unexpected plot twist.
I look forward to reading more from this Author.

The Arsonist’s Handbook by L.A. Detwiler was a really enthralling read. This book was written with so much suspense built up at the beginning, I had to finish it to the end just to see what happens. This was an amazing book. It was very well written as much as it was entertaining. I felt like I was actually looking into the mind of a psychopath while reading this book. I couldn’t put this book down! I highly recommend this book and definitely can’t read to more from this author in the future!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jameson, 16 year old loner living with his single mom, longs for a relationship with his father. When he finds an old notebook in the attic that describes proper way to be an arsonist, Jameson decides to follow in his father’s footsteps in the hopes that it will catch his father’s attention and he will come back home.

Pete is the victim of an arsonist, losing his young son in a fire. Hell bent on revenge, Pete will stop at nothing to make the arsonist pay. He quickly becomes consumed with finding his version of justice for his son.

Wow…The Arsonist’s Handbook is a great read. The characters are likeable, relatable, and real. The emotions from Pete are heart wrenching, and the desire of Jameson to have a relationship with his father is as well. Told from alternating points of view, as well as including chapters from the notebook Jameson finds, this book kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a good psychological thriller! The ending was completely unexpected! I can’t wait to read more from L.A. Detwiler!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Divine Devils by R. Weir is the first book I’ve read by this author. First of all, from the beginning of the first chapter it caught my attention. The description of the daily routine for the children and the men protecting and guarding them got my interest. Then learning about Hunter Divine a bit and the reason why he takes a job when a former girlfriend reaches out for help. The next thing that I appreciated was getting the back story on the characters working with Hunter Divine and how each of them met him. What kept me reading to the end was the intrigue, suspense, and wondering who and why these kids are being targeted. I would recommend this book to friends and family in a heartbeat.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to admit that the book cover grabbed my attention and I knew I had to read it. I am not familiar with Laurencia Hoffman but I will be seeking out her other stories. The plotline is amazing. There was a darkness lurking about with a side of M/M romance for flavor. There are many emotional highs and lows. I was turning the pages faster and faster because I needed to know what was coming up. Her characters are fully developed and complex in nature. Shane has some deep secrets that could be deadly. He puts up a tough front until Callan pushes through the walls. To find out what happens to Callan and Shane you will have to read the book. Believe me, it is worth the read. I cannot wait to read Remember His Name book 2.

Sex on Fire: A Quickie Read (Naughty Neighbor Book 1) by Ashley Bostock is tantalising, steamy and sizzling that I read in one sitting. Ashley’s characters are fun, and I love their witty banter. I also love stories that are written in dual POV’s. The story is very short, and it was over before it really got started so it would have been nice if it were longer.

What is the loss of a fence in the big scheme of all things love?

Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by India Kells – Review by Bridget McCullough

/0 Comments/in , /by

This book is packed full of such amazing writing. I was thoroughly impressed with this first book in the series. It managed to balance introducing quite a few side characters and giving them depth and backstory while not overwhelming the reader with too much to keep track of. The main characters in particular are written with so much intricacy that you immediately feel connected to them and invested in their story.

Deva, our main heroine has been hiding from a past that she is terrified of returning to but an obligation to pay off a debt pushes her to confront her past and in doing so she meets Aleksei, a fighter with an story of his own full of twists and turns. He has a sexy alpha personality but is there more to his story than meets the eye? And will Deva let herself fall for someone who reminds her so much of the past she left behind?

Lake of Flowers (Lord Hani #5)Lake of Flowers by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful dive into Ancient Egypt, and all of the wonderful colours, sights, sounds, and possible intrigues. There are lots of characters and motives going on here, with interesting subplots that add depth to the story. It is rich with imagery of food, scenery, and costume; it is easy to picture yourself amongst the orchards or lush palaces. I have to admit that this was the only book I’ve read in the series, and so I found some of the character and governmental names to be challenging to recall and keep straight. However, there is a glossary of names and terms at the beginning which helped to reference things. All in all, this is a very well written work, that fans of Ancient Egypt will devour.

Caim by T.S. Simons is the fourth book in the Antipodes series. You really do need to read this series in order so that you can fully understand what is happening. The moment I picked up this book I was straight back into the thick of it. I really do enjoy reading about Freyja and Cam. They are such strong characters and they have definitely managed to keep the series going.
Each book in this series just seems to make it even better. When starting book one I never imagined that I would be this invested still come book four and yet every time I get my hands on the next one I can’t wait to start it. This is a fantastic series that you should definitely read

Lake of Flowers by N.L. Holmes is the fifth book in the Lord Hani Mystery series. This is a fantastic series that is so rich with detail that you can’t help but be drawn in. This book only adds to that. I would strongly recommend reading this series in order as it follows the same character throughout.
With this book we are taken on yet another intriguing journey with Lord Hani as he tries to figure our another mystery. It is always so easy to fall back in with this character, almost like you have never left him in the first place.
As with the rest of the series it is great that the authors obvious passion for history comes through. I think it adds to the whole experience. This is a great addition to the series and I am looking forward to whatever is next.

Lake of Flowers (The Lord Hani Mysteries #5) by N.L Holmes

This is another fantastic read by N.L Holmes. The Lord Hani Mysteries is a series I highly recommend. Each book keeps getting better and better.

Hani is once again put in the middle of something that doesn’t involve him. The Queen needs his help, but then he’s put in a dangerous spot. His daughter is also put in the middle of the same mess. The quote I chose Hani is: “I don’t know. There’ll almost certainly be an uprising as soon as the king dies. That may be the moment this whole bizarre experiment falls apart. I can’t imagine there are many real believers. Most people, like our Aha, are committed only to please the king and advance their careers.”

Highly recommended for Historical Mystery lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this romantic comedy by a favourite author of mine Belinda Williams. ‘Mr. Nice Guy’ is the first book in a new series featuring the naughty but nice Pierce Brothers. This was a lighthearted, fun read with plenty of romance and a bit of drama which had me happily turning the pages. The storyline flowed well making it an easy read and the authors descriptive narrative bought both the characters and the setting to life. The story had the right mix of laugh out loud moments, emotional moments and of course romance leading to some steamy scenes. I was hooked from page one and could not put this book down. I fell in love with the very likeable and relatable characters, especially Tom and Chelsea. Chelsea is used to dating ‘bad boys’ but her housemate Tom is fed up of her complaining about her boyfriends and says she should give a ‘nice guy’ a try, someone like him! “Give me a week. Seven days and seven nights. I’ll show you what it’s like to be with a nice guy”, the only rule is that it’s not a friends with benefits arrangement. However, It’s not long before Chelsea realises that nice guys can play dirty too. This was such an entertaining, enjoyable and engaging read which I definitely recommend.

However, Matthew sees that this might be an unexpected solution to his current problem, of having to find a bride within the month. Having chosen two different damsels from Almack’s marriage mart who then had fatal accidents he is running out of time, and so offers Isabel a choice, marriage to him or gaol. The authors descriptive narrative bought both the characters and the setting to life. I was hooked from page one and the storyline flowed well and the plot twists kept me happily turning the pages. I recommend this enjoyable and engaging historical romance and look forward to reading future books by the author.

I was gripped by this dark psychological crime thriller by Detwiler. Sixteen year old Jameson Wills has never known his father but is keen to find out about him. However having found an old journal in the attic the things he discovers about his father are very disturbing. Reading the journal he learns that his father had a secret addiction to arson and soon Jameson begins to wonder if he also had the “desire to burn” in his blood. Meanwhile, Pete Andrews is a grief stricken businessman following the death of his infant son in a fire. When he is told by the police that the fire was arson Pete is determined to find justice for his son, but as his sinister past emerges he may go to far looking for revenge. I was hooked from start to finish by this novel and was impressed at how the author made both of the main characters, Jameson and Pete really come alive and allowed the reader to get into their minds. I felt fully immersed in the storyline which was fast paced and flowed well. An entertaining and engaging read and one which stayed with me long after I had turned the last page. Detwiler is a new author to me and I am now keen to read other books by her.

Wow, what an excellent read! This was my first read from Holmes, but it will not be my last as I have to gobble up the rest of the books in this series. Despite this being my introduction to Lord Hani and the suspense surrounding his family, it was an easy read that kept me turning pages at all hours of the night. I appreciate how detailed the characters and setting were laid out, I could really visualize everything that happened in the story. Holmes background in archaeology played a huge role in the setting, politics, and character development. I definitely learned a thing or two throughout this book despite it being fiction. If you want something that will keep you in suspense and wanting more, I highly recommend this novel!
