Mornin’ the Super Bird sees statues of some animals that have went extinct. Determined to make a difference and to save his family and friends from the same fate, he makes a video and it goes viral!
Mornin’ the Super Bird is a cute, sweet story that shows children the importance of taking care of the planet for not only ourselves but animals too. The examples given in the story are simple, easy ways that children of all ages can do to make a difference. I also appreciate that there are several references at the end of the story to help children learn more about what they can do to help the Earth and its inhabitants!

Kingdom of War: Kingdom Journals, Book 4 by Tricia Copeland Audio Book 4 Stars!!!!
I have to say that I once again have found a new series and have started out of order but man I was not out of place. I really liked that I was able to listen to this book as I went about my day to day life and soak up the drama and adventure. I really felt like I was right there beside the characters as the book went on.
The characters are unique and the author has a refreshing plot and story. I found that it was just the right balance of drama and adventure. I also found that the narrator had a very good way of voicing the book and bringing the characters to life. I will defnintely read/listen more from this author Reviewed by @caraleeloonat

Moonlit Kiss is from the Moonlit Destination Series by Amy McKinley. All of the books in this series stand alone well. This book takes place in Venice with Gianna coming from the states to restore artwork. She immediately experiences deja vu and a feeling as if she has come home. She meets the handsome Sergio who is a doctor and immediately feels at home with him. This story tells of their love for each other. There is also a mystery into circumstances surrounding their friends that draws them in unbeknownst to them. This book has romance, paranormal, and mystery all into one. It was a fun read!

This is the 2nd book in the Black Water series and even though I didn’t read the first book I was able to pick up the story and follow it with ease. That being said I think if you read the 1st book you will get a better understanding of the lead character Teegan and how she got to the point we find her at now.
I love the mix of magic, Paranormal and romance. The author does a great job of bringing the characters to life and helping you to see them as more than just their magical side.
Teegan is still coming to terms with the loss of her grandma as well as finding her way as a witch. When the carnival comes to town their is something sinister about it. Now it’s a race against time for Teegan and her friends to save the town before the Carnaval demons take over. As she struggles to get her life on track, get over her demi-demon ex and figure out what is happening relationship wise with the hot prime alpha. Can she keep things together or will she turn them against her without the help of the carnival ringmaster influence.

Moonlit Whisper is from the Moonlit Destination Series by Amy McKinley. All of the books in this series stand alone well. This book is a quick but good read. We meet Fiona who is currently dating Lachlan. He is kind of cocky and selfish. It makes the reader wonder why Fiona is even dating him. Then we meet Connor. He and Fiona are meant to be together. It was fun to read their backstory and how they grew up together. It’s a super short story but fun to read!

Of Fire and Bone by Natalina Reis is the third book in the Of Magic and Scales series. This is a brilliant conclusion to this series in all ways. Everything you have v read so far has been building up to this book and the author did the whole series justice with this conclusion. It was well written and exciting, the kind of book you just can’t put down. I have definitely fallen in love with this author. Every book I have read is different but each are as good as the others. I know when I pick up one of her books it is going to be a great read. I would highly recommend this series and I am already looking forward to reading it again.

The Arsonists Handbook: A Gripping Psychological Thriller by L.A. Detwiler is a book that certainly lives up to its name. I was intrigued by this book from the moment I read the blurb and I had to start it straight away. I wanted to get lost in this story. I honestly didn’t know how this book was ever going to turn out because the author added so many twists and turns that it kept me on the edge of my seat. This is the first book that I have read by b this author and I thought it was a fantastic read. She knew just what to do to keep you engaged with the story. The book was developed at the right pace, giving you extra details exactly when it was needed. This is a great book that I would highly recommend and I am looking forward to my next read by this author.
This is a new author for me which I enjoyed from beginning to end. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. This is a suspenseful thriller that is full of action, fast paced and engaging. The characters bring the story to life. They are relatable and kept me turning pages just waiting to see what would happen next. The twists and turns left me sitting on the edge of my seat. This is a well written story about finding out a father’s secrets and a father that is looking for revenge. What do they both have in common? The same arsonist and life will never be the same for these characters. This is a great story that I really enjoyed. I highly recommend it.
TRIGGER ALERT: Kidnapping, gore, torture. Hunter Divine is a gun-for-hire after losing his job as a US Marshal over an incident for which he was blamed, which was not his fault, of course. A former flame, Paige, calls for his help b/c her children are being threatened w/ a kidnapping by some unknown person. The action – often gory – starts immediately w/ an attempted kidnapping of the teenagers as they are on their way to school. This book reads like a stereotypical action movie, where the men are men and the women are glad. The women are all tall and strong, even the teenage daughter. There are plenty of woman-on-woman fight scenes to add to the sense of this novel being a male fantasy. Many of the sentences are only sentence fragments, short and choppy. I don’t know if this was the author’s writing style, or if the Kindle formatting was just bad. There were a lot of incorrect homophones as well, as spellcheck cannot catch those. Plenty of clothing descriptions added to the above-mentioned issues distracted me from the plot as well. There are all kinds of plot twists to keep you guessing as to the bad guy behind everything and his motivations, and the ending is can’t-put-your-book-down tense. I also liked the diversity of the characters. Therefore, I’m rounding this one up to three stars, even though it would usually not be my cup of tea for reading material.

This is not the type of book I would normally go for, but I am so glad I picked it up! McKinley does a great job at giving readers Romance, Mystery, and some, in my opinion, Thrill. The storyline between Hannah and Jack is addicting. I also love how McKinley gives readers insight into the back story with flashbacks, that help the reader gain a better understanding of Hannah and Jack. 10/10 would read this book again, I feel like it is one that I will keep going back to!

This novel itself is the reason I have lost sleep the past few nights. I love thriller and suspense novels. But this one gripped my heart and soul and teased at so many moments and scenes in this gripping book, it reeled me in basically from the beginning to the very last page.
I started reading it thinking…excellent this is going to be fun a mystery to figure out, But it wasn’t just figuring out the basics, who to trust, how to match up clues and subtle hints, there was and is so much more to this novel. Honestly a few times I thought I had figured it out and really, in all honesty every single time I was off and more questions I deeply wanted answers for arose more than I actually could keep up with!
This story was a mystery like no other. It had suspense, wonder, questions, accusations, proof, unsureness, doubt, disbelief, and so very much more.
I can not get over how well written this story developed. Reading it, Molly is taking care of her ill mother. Things take a unseen turn to a flyer for a woman that had gone missing. But so many questions arose in that moment such as why is Molly so connected in a sense of feeling? Molly had felt they knew them in a way or seen them, or knew them better than they thought possible? This was literally just a small taste of the mystery that was about to unravel and unfold.
Again every time I thought I was close to getting some where with this mystery, I was off and wrong every time, I honestly couldn’t get enough. I was left wanting more as I said, and I’m still left wanting more.
Saying this is a well written novel is certainly an understatement! Pick up this book and be ready to lose sleep and be captivated by this amazing written novel. I certainly was. I have no regrets, only in the sense I did not get to this amazing sooner than I did!
Amazing novel and I loved this book beyond words are ever capable to express into feelings!

Honesty, this book was so amazing from beginning to end, I pretty much read it thru a 24 hour day, I just kept wanting more and more and to basically be in Venice! The author truly has a natural talent not only for an amazing story and novel but the descriptions they use to describe the art and landscapes of Venice is truly what captured my heart and my mind from the very start.
I love romance stories and anything of the sort. This novel was my first time reading by this amazing author. And this most certainly will not my be my last.
It wasn’t just the art descriptions that hooked me but also the characters! Gianna and the man who she meets in perhaps dare to say random act of being heroic. But is life really that common where you meet someone thru an even that you may never have met other wise? Is there truly reasons behind why things happen to you that you may be unable to explain?
I think the characters Gianna and Sergio had these thoughts from when their eyes first met in their daring encounter. I think based on what I felt they felt they knew some how even though at the time they could not explain it they had felt these exact feelings in that moment before. But the question was how?
As I continued to read on, the story just captivated me to read more and more and I yearned for more and what was to come. This was a work of art itself. The story of how it progresses thru the tale of the time in Venice it was honestly so amazing and beautiful and I was truly sent to another world…perhaps dare to say not even in this life time.
This author truly is amazing and I have no words to describe their creative and artistic ability that would do them justice.
This will not be my last but more less my first of many. I want more and I already want more novels by Amy McKinley.
She has an gift to touch an reader, in a way that feels like a beautiful painting being made with every stroke made, more beauty just keeps flowing form the brush to the paper or canvas
Pick up this novel and read it! You will fall in love over and over again. That is a promise 🙂

Moonlit Kiss (A Venice Romance) (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley – I love Amy McKinley books and this one was no different. This is the story of Gianna Bellini who is an artist who has just landed her dream job in Venice to restore a century old painting. While walking about Venice one day she takes a misstep and almost lands in a canal but a gentleman by the name of Sergio Vitale saves her. She and Sergio form a friendship and she leans on him to help her thru the new city. When she begins work on the painting she realizes its missing a panel so she turns to Sergio again for help. Sergio also admits to Gianna he has feelings for her so that throws another wrench in the situation. Will Gianna be able to solve the mystery of the missing panel and will she and Sergio make a go at a relationship. This book is a fast paced fun read!

Competing with the Star is the first book I’ve read by this author and also the second book in the Star series. I would strongly suggest reading book 1 before reading book 2 as I had to piece things together as best as I could in order to truly enjoy this read. However, I did still enjoy this YA romance read.
I enjoyed how the author managed to create a solid group of friends, their interactions seemed really genuine and real to how they would behave at that age given the circumstances. I look forward to going back and reading book 1 to find out how everything started!

Witches, demons, and werewolves?! What more could you ask for? How about a little mystery and some romance and you have one amazing story!! I loved Teagan’s attitude and just her character in general, I felt like I could relate to her. Also the whole concept of the circus and how it works into the whole story and the mystery behind it! The way Leslie Scott writes just sucks you into the story and you can escape reality for a little bit. If you want an amazing series to binge read pick this up now!

Angels, Anarchy, Demons and Destruction This is the first book I have read by Misty Hayes and it won’t be the last. Amazing writing and wonderful characterisation had me turning the pages rapidly. I devoured this book and just want more. I found out afterwards that this is a spin-off from another series and to be honest it made a lot of sense. There are certain events that occur in this book that are obviously explained in the previous books. This doesn’t really impact the flow of this storyline though. The world building is very detailed that the reader can easily picture the action. For lovers of YA paranormal and fantasy – you won’t be disappointed.

I am really enjoying this series and I think this book is definitely my favourite so far. Even though this is book 3, it can be read as a standalone, although I’d recommend reading them in order as other characters do make an odd appearance. Hannah is a sleeper agent for Russia, and is finally activated. Jack works for Grey Ghost and Hannah is the girl that got away. I loved Hannah’s character, it was a refreshing change to see the female lead be as competent at espionage as the guys, and she was seriously well trained. I enjoyed the style of the book, the flashbacks to Hannah’s youth, helped explain how she ended up where she did and why her loyalty lay where is did, and why she trusted nobody … until Jack. Jack is certain that Hannah is his future, but he can’t bring himself to trust her completely after he finds out that she is a sky. The complex plot of this story was brilliant, very well explained and really does keep you guessing until the end. There are several, ‘I wasn’t expecting that’ moments that really add to the suspense. Definitely a book and series I would recommend. The narration by Regan Brown is excellent as usual and I enjoy that the same voice is used for all the books. In the series.

Amy McKinley proves yet again that she is a magnificent writer that deserves to be on every romance-lovers to-read list with her second book of the Moonlit Destinations series. More suspenseful than the previous and leaving the reader wondering what will happen next, it is no wonder that I finished yet another one of her books in record time. Yet again, I find myself excited to read the next book in this series, and eventually read the series it is connected to, the Gray Ghost series.
The book reels you in from the very first paragraph, with a heart-pounding scene that leaves you questioning what just happened. When the lovers reunite later on, you can’t help but hope that the novel will end with a happy ending, despite many things trying to keep them apart. Another short yet sweet novel, readers will devour this quickly.
Moonlit Kiss: A Venice Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley. I have never read a book from Ms Amy that I have not liked. Amy knows what genre works for her and she does it really well. This romance suspense story takes us through the cobblestone pathways, water canals and centuries old buildings and art of beautiful Venice. I have visited Italy, so it was so easy to envision all that Amy’s rich narrative provided. There is mystery and suspense which just adds another dimension to this already wonderful read. This is most definitely my favourite book by Amy to date.

Shield & Shade is the first book in the Ascended Guardians series by Misty Hayes. This is my first read from Ms. Hayes, so I was excited to find out what lay between the covers. I love a good YA paranormal story, so the premise of the story had me sold right away. As I mentioned, this is a YA paranormal adventure story full of secrets, supernatural elements, dramatic moments, family, action, mystery, and suspense. I thought the story was quite creative and original- with richly textured world building. The story was quite ‘visual’ with lots of detail and vivid descriptions. Sometimes the descriptions got a little heavy handed- which did interrupt the flow of the story a bit, but overall, it was a fun read. Looking forward to seeing what’s in store for us in Book #2!

Of Fire and Bone is the third and final instalment in the Of Magic and Scales series by Natalina Reis. This is a fantastic paranormal MM romance with a plot that will keep you glued to the pages until you’ve read every last word. Natalina Reis never fails to deliver unforgettable stories, and this book/series is definitely a favourite. As this book follows on from the first two, I really recommend reading them before starting on this one. Knowing what happened in Books #1 and #2 will definitely enrich your reading experience of this book. I loved Aiden and Nael right from the beginning- they are such great characters- their chemistry is intense- and with Aiden’s past and the fact that Nael is a merman, Ms. Reis had me hooked right from the get-go! A lot has happened since the first book, but things aren’t about to get any easier as danger mounts- new discoveries are made, taking us on quite a wild ride. This was a bit of a bitter-sweet read for me as I really wanted to find out how everything plays out in the end, but also knowing that this is the final instalment of the series. Gods, goddesses, druids, hidden agendas, discovery, suspense, danger, dramatic developments, sexy details, and wonderful world building all blended together into a captivating story. Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Reis does next. Happy Reading!

It’s Makayla’s first year in the paranormal academy system. When all three of the schools she applies to deny her entry, there’s only one left. Unfortunately, she’s more interested in finding a way out of Grave Digger Academy than in learning its curriculum.
Gravediggers actually do the digging. Grave Diggers, however, keep buried bodies where they belong—six feet under.
This year’s students are about to learn corpses can be temperamental, and when the dead refuse to cooperate, there’s Hell to pay.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.
Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.
To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.
People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.
I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different.
I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes—I want them to know they are making a difference.

King
Motorcycles meet magic and mayhem as Lance Cosain, the halfling leader of The Wild Hunt MC, protects his turf and his people from attacks ordered by Dair na Scath, the high king of the fae.
Holding his own against rogue fae, redcaps, and pissed-off road gremlins, all Lance wants to do is settle down with his lady. Instead, he goes toe-to-toe with the high king’s champion over an ancient dagger and his claim to the throne.
Who will triumph? The king of the road or the king of the realm? Either way, the Hunt is on!
Award-winning author, editor, and publisher Danielle Ackley-McPhail has worked both sides of the publishing industry for longer than she cares to admit. In 2014 she joined forces with husband Mike McPhail and friend Greg Schauer to form her own publishing house, eSpec Books (www.especbooks.com).
Her published works include seven novels, Yesterday’s Dreams, Tomorrow’s Memories, Today’s Promise, The Halfling’s Court, The Redcaps’ Queen, Daire’s Devils, and Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn, written with Day Al-Mohamed. She is also the author of the solo collections Eternal Wanderings, A Legacy of Stars, Consigned to the Sea, Flash in the Can, Transcendence, Between Darkness and Light, and the non-fiction writers’ guides The Literary Handyman and LH: Build-A-Book Workshop. She is the senior editor of the Bad-Ass Faeries anthology series, Gaslight & Grimm, Side of Good/Side of Evil, After Punk, and Footprints in the Stars. Her short stories are included in numerous other anthologies and collections.
In addition to her literary acclaim, she crafts and sells original costume horns under the moniker The Hornie Lady Custom Costume Horns, and homemade flavor-infused candied ginger under the brand of Ginger KICK! at literary conventions, on commission, and wholesale.
Danielle lives in New Jersey with husband and fellow writer, Mike McPhail and two extremely spoiled cats.

Amy McKinley is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. From the descriptions of beautiful scenery to the way the characters magnetically come through as endearing from the reader’s perspective. I read this entire book in one sitting as I am in love with this one but the entire series as well. You will enjoy this one and everything about it!

Amy McKinley strikes again! One of her shorter novels, Moonlit Whisper: An Irish Romance, this modern contemporary romance was good albeit too short for my liking, as I can never get enough of her writing! Amy is solidifying herself as one of my favorite authors the more I read of her, every book I read I finish wanting more of her!
A classic second chance at romance, Amy does a great job at giving backgrounds to each of the main characters, helping the reader to understand the character and romance between them. I devoured this book in mere hours, much like her other novels, and am excited to read more!
This book was a good one. I have read many books by this author and this one was a good one to spend my weekend reading and made me remember why I like this author so much. Good writing & loveable characters! I will be reading more by her in the future because I can’t get enough of these MC books! Happy Reading!

For me, this was the most beautiful book I’ve read in quite awhile. This book was beautiful as it brought to light just what makes Italy a great country. The scenes bring you closer to being in Italy itself as the author’s words transcend you there through the pages. The story wrapped around the scenery draws you in. This is one of the best books in a long time: Pick up your copy today!

Deliciously Sinful Liaisons is a hot sexy compilation of seven of L.M. Mountford’s books. These are short excerpts that will leave you wanting more, but oh so satisfied. This is the first book that I have read/listened to by this author, but I’m definitely going to check out more books soon. The narrator is Tia Johnson and she is new to me also. She has a hot sexy voice that really make the characters come to life. This is definitely a hot sizzling read.
