Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #3)Forged by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The third book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series, Amy McKinley’s Forged by Secrets is a great ending to the series! An explosive first chapter made it easy to binge this book, finishing it within 24 hours of the previous novel.

A classic tale of opposites attract, the characters in this novel share undeniable chemistry from the very beginning. Through flashbacks, steamy scenes and heart wrenching moments, Amy does an amazing job at wrapping up the trilogy. Even though I am sad that this story has ended, I am excited to read more of her work.

Tangled Roots (Tangled Magic, #1)Tangled Roots by Denise D. Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my gosh guys, this book is great. The writing is amazing and so seamless it was easy to fall into this book and feel like I was there with Cassie and Nick in the forest. Loved the descriptions of the women in the coven, and seeing how the knowledge and magic was passed down through the generations. I found myself trying to figure out what my elemental would be if I were a witch. I definitely need to read the next books in this series, because I have so many questions, and I need to see what happens! Fantasy, romance, and YA lovers, buy this book!

So until that happens, and knowing that, I need to work to make my family, and myself whole again.

Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Series Book 2) by Amy McKinley – Review by Jessica Phillips

Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #2)Bound by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bound by Secrets by Amy McKinley is the second book of the Deadly Isles Special Ops Series.
Personally I wouldn’t read it as a standalone mainly because the previous book “Twisted Secrets” did have some mystery that hasn’t been solved yet and continues in this book.

Kayla Kane fled her abusive relationship and needs a place to hide out until things smooth over.
Jaxson Hale is a former Navy SEAL and Kayla’s brother’s best friend.

Their story is a second chance romance. They have to overcome their past and get their secrets out in the open if they are ever going to have a shot at being together.
Kayla, haunted by her brothers tragic death years before, knows there is more to the story than what she was told. Jaxson, bound by a promise, knows that he’s going to have to break it if he’s ever going to get his second chance with Kayla.

I am enjoying this series. I liked how their story is really just a continuation from their childhood, and you get bits and pieces of that as you read through.

Carnival of Shadows (Black Water Magic Book 2) by Leslie Scott – Review by Erin Wolf

Carnival of Shadows (Black Water Magic #2)Carnival of Shadows by Leslie Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Carnival of Shadows: A Teagan Blackwater Urban Fantasy Novel (Black Water Magic Book 2) by Leslie Scott, 5 stars.

I’m pretty sure this is the first book I have read by this author and I was blown away! Urban fantasy is my favorite genre, so the bar is set high for my expectations. I was in love immediately. Tegan is absolutely wonderful as a main character. She is just trying trying her best to take care of those she loves, and she does a spectacular job of it. The secondary characters are great too. They really solidify this great story and make it something even better.

Then there is the story. It grabs onto you immediately a does not let go. Full of action, suspense, heartache, romance and humor, this book has it all. The amount of different supernatural brings was refreshing too; I love variety. I have not read book one yet, but I plan on remedying that soon. Go read this book, you will love it!!!

Terrifying Love – A Halloween Anthology – Review by Shelly Kittell

Terrifying Love: A Halloween AnthologyTerrifying Love: A Halloween Anthology by Serena Nova
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Terrifying Love is one the most action-packed anthologies I have read in a while. You have stories from a variety of authors such as Isobella Dunn, Everly True to Melody Calder and Helle Gadde. I went from kidnapping to a paranormal revenge story with a twist on Bloody Mary (the best if you love creepy) to paranormal fantasy witch on vampire lesbian tales. There is something for everyone. That is truly what makes this a great anthology: something for everyone. I couldn’t put this down. Once you started a story, you had to go right on to the next to see if it got even better. A definite 5 out of 5 stars.

The Divine Devils (The Divine Devils Book 1) by R Weir – Review by Erica Shoebridge

The Divine DevilsThe Divine Devils by R. Weir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Divine Devils opens with a dramatic kidnapping attempt of two teenagers: Olivia and Deion Hawkins. Understandably terrified, their wealthy parents will spare no expense in order to stop this heist. Enter Hunter Devine, ex-US Marshall and all-round excellent fighter and protector. He hopes to piece together the motives and identities of the assailants and stop them in their tracks. Hopefully in time to save their lives.

Hunter is a deftly drawn character, and I appreciated how the authour took time to lay out the nuances of his personality. Despite some questionable past choices, he is an easy character to empathize with and root for. The plot hums along nicely, with lots of action to maintain interest. I wanted things to be a little less ‘spelled-out’ for me as a reader… I felt there wasn’t enough room for a reader to wonder and make predictions. Despite that, it’s a solid crime thriller for fans of the genre.

Travels Through Aqua, Green, and Blue: A Memoir by Mary E. Gregory – Review by Shadel Ayerbe

Travels Through Aqua, Green, and Blue: A MemoirTravels Through Aqua, Green, and Blue: A Memoir by Mary E. Gregory
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Travels Through Aqua, Green, and Blue: A Memoir by Mary E. Gregory.
If you liked The Glass Castle, you’ll adore this gripping and moving novel about a young girl’s triumph against childhood trauma and poverty.

When a person succeeds to break the pattern, some seemingly predetermined lives wind up somewhere else completely. From the outside, Mary’s mold had been shattered. Mary’s peaceful childhood was turned into a voyage of discovery among the world around her and all the possibilities that existed within her when the unexpected happened in her conventional southern family.Mary’s mother, feeling betrayed and unable to deal with this new reality after her father, a beloved preacher in her close-knit Tennessee community, came out as a gay man at the height of the AIDS epidemic, sent Mary and her siblings on a years-long cross-country odyssey through New York, Nevada, and many other places, eventually landing them in California.

At the start of this trip, Mary was a charming, innocent, and clever girl who had no idea what was going to happen to her. From her adventures through aqua, green, and blue, she would emerge stronger, wiser, and much more equipped for everything that was ahead of her in life.

I loved this story and the concept of it as well.I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting.

MORNIN THE SUPER BIRD – FINDS A WAY TO FIGHT EXTINCTION by JULES HEARTLY – Review by Shelly Kittell

Mornin is worried when he sees statues of birds that have gone extinct. He takes the initiative to get everyone trying to save the birds and other animals from going extinct. He really is a superbird because he uses his talent for making videos and spreads them out to everyone which gets all the boys and girls learning by asking questions “how can they help.” The author makes this a fun book for kids about saving the birds and animals. We can help by limiting use of plastics, recycling, less auto use and many other ways. This book can be a really fun conversation starter with your kids to help open their little minds as they learn. Mornin is a fun character that brings learning about the environment to life.

This is the second book in the Black Water Magic series. I found this book just as interesting as the first one. The descriptive language made a clear picture in my mind’s eye as I read the book. There are plenty of paranormal characters to enhance the romance that is within the book pages. The characters really bring this story to life. The story is set around Teagan and everything that is going on with her. There is a carnival and who doesn’t love a good carnival. I highly recommend this book to see how Teagan handles everything.

The detail-oriented lessons from life and approaching special needs is very helpful and gives the reader a better understanding for the way we treat special needs children or just special needs in general. This book is impressive and incredibly written for readers and parents alike.

Carnival of Shadows (Black Water Magic #2)Carnival of Shadows by Leslie Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Carnival of Shadows is the second book in the Black Water Magic Series by Leslie Scott. Teagan is dealing with a lot–the death of her beloved grandmother, taking over her grandmother’s role as Swamp Witch, and dealing with a developing romantic relationship, as well as a new, young witch in the neighborhood. But then the carnival comes to town…an evil carnival, bringing back the one person Teagan never wanted to see.

Carnival of Shadows is an excellent read. However, I do wish I had read the first in the series before this one. I highly recommend this as the story seems to continue from where the first novel ended. The characters are great, and the setting is amazing. I loved the idea of the evil carnival! Descriptive and a fun read, Carnival of Shadows has made me an instant Leslie Scott fan!

Moonlit Kiss (A Venice Romance) (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley – Review by Liz Vrchota

Moonlit Kiss : A Venice Romance (Moonlit Destination Series)Moonlit Kiss : A Venice Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Amy McKinley and all of her novels and series, but this latest one Moonlit Kiss of the Moonlit Destination Series has really become a fast top favorite, like probably my all time favorite number one read of hers. This one was so very vivid and I felt from page one as if I was right there with the characters walking in their shoes and along for the adventure. I really was on the streets of Venice and the added suspense and spins of intrigue that were layered in the romance of this read was beyond stellar. I could not put this book down. I read until three am so that I could see how Gianna and Serigio’s story would come to a close. I just had to know there was no way any rest would be had until I did. This is one you don’t want to miss and can be enjoyed as a standalone read, but I would recommend the entire series!

The Don (Her Three Immortals Book 1) by Hazel Storm – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

The DonThe Don by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is only for those over 18 due to its adult content.

Vanessa Maan is a woman who can bring out the beauty in those around her and her job as a hairdresser and beautician enables her to do this, but since her dad died and left her family nothing, apart from his car “Dante” she has lost faith in men, they are all either angel’s or another type of word beginning with a! However, she has her mum and her brother who love her as much as she loves them and it is the only thing keeping them going with him not being well.

When she is returning home one day, she is nearly run over by her neighbour’s son, but he is not what she remembers of him, btu when she sees who is moving into his old room, she realises that her new neighbour is hot as hell and when she is introduced to him, she feels a strange connection to him which she cannot explain, the problem is that he feels the same, but because he is Grey, the Don of the Underworld and god of excess, he knows he needs to stay away from her. Meanwhile, when Vanessa makes a trip to New York for a couple of meetings, she is caught in a snowstorm, this is where she runs into Raef, he is handsome and sexy, but he is also one of the men which her mother warned her away from, however, he treats her just like a gentleman would and takes her for coffee and dinner, plus organises a hotel for her for the night and escorts her there where they swap numbers, but unknown to her, he is also part god.

After the snowstorm passes and Vanessa makes it back to work, albeit a bit late, it isn’t the welcome she expects when it isn’t her boss who confronts her about it, it is apparently a woman whom she has employed as their new assistant manager, but she is regarded coldly and cannot understand why, but she apologises and puts it behind her and gets on with her day. As time passes, she spends more time with Raef and he helps her with some of the problems she is up against, things at work also turn from bad to worse, but she has no idea why, this is when Aroz turns up and puts a spoke into the mix, he is an angel of love with heavenly looks and wings to match and he is an angel with a mission and Vanessa is firmly in his sights.

What will happen when all three of these sexy men come into Vanessa’s life, will it be heaven, hell or something in between? This is a steamy romance with as much trouble as there is lust, where making choices may just be the hardest thing on earth to do.

Terrifying Love: A Halloween Anthology is 7 love stories with a twist. I enjoyed all of the stories, especially the one set in a haunted house and the final story. However, I am not quite sure why it is referenced as a Halloween Anthology as there are not many references to that date. The stories are creepy, some scary, and all are sexy. They are all good in their own way, and were great reads. I will be looking for more from each of the authors!!

I don’t read the blurbs on books because I like to be surprised and WOW I was surprised by this unique little tale. This original Sci Fiish/Dystopianish story is definitely different from others as it is a mash of the two with a dose of religion mixed in. The story is told from several different POV’s which gives us more depth to the characters and the story as a whole. Greta has done a good job of pulling it all together and giving us something fresh and enjoyable.

I was not able to put it down till I was finished. It had me think I had it all figured out when I had no idea. It has you right alongside Molly trying to figure out what is happening around her. The depth in the characters outside Molly was written so well. Plus, the spookiness was just right to have you sucked in. I LOVED this story!! I can not wait to read more from this author!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moonlit Kiss is a Moonlit Destination romance by Amy McKinley, which can be read as a standalone. After enjoying Moonlit Mirage and Moonlit Whisper I knew I was in for a treat, and something completely different, and Moonlit Kiss did not disappoint!
The main selling point of this series is the settings. It’s like a holiday in a book! I loved exploring Venice with Gianna, savouring McKinley’s vivid descriptions. Speaking of vivid descriptions, readers are treated to plenty of detail in these books – in Moonlit Kiss I particularly enjoyed learning about the fresco restoration work Gianna was doing.
Moonlit Kiss combines destination romance with ghost story, as Gianna seeks to unravel a gripping mystery. Definitely a page-turner, and one I struggled to put down!
For me, this is a five-star read. I’d recommend to anyone who wishes they could pop over to Italy without having to quarantine – this book will take you there for a lot less than the price of a plane ticket!

Dunn has written with care on the subject and it will aim straight for your heart. This is a very heartwarming read, while also having romance and suspense.

Stepping Stone (The Stone Series Volume 2) AUDIO BOOK by Dakota Willink – Review by May Leadstone

The scenes are never dull or boring with Krystina and Alexander! I find myself hoping the story hurries up to the next little steamy nugget! Krystina is trying to stay independent and show she doesn’t need anything, but I think everyone needs to be able to have someone to lean on…and, let’s face it, it doesn’t hurt that it happens to be a billionaire! Krystina is my favorite persona by far in this genre, granted there are many to explore, but right now she is at the top of my list! The story was good overall, but I feel like the pace of this book was way faster than the previous one, and I found myself trying to not think about how fast it was and just enjoy the story. Again the narrators are a bit monotoned and put inflections/stresses on words or sentences that don’t need it, but I was better prepared for that this time. Otherwise, this book was a great “Stepping Stone” away from reality for a little bit!
