Jeremy Full of Grace by Greta Cribbs – Review by Charlene Yates

Jeremy Full of GraceJeremy Full of Grace by Greta Cribbs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was apprehensive about this book at first. I read many diverse types of novels at that includes Christian novels. I was not at all against the idea of a male being impregnated as was the virgin Mary, but how this story was actually going to come together and play out. The author wrote a fascinating story wrapped in doubt and awe and a story wrapped also around grief and the ability to overcome things that we ourselves sometimes may feel we cannot. The words were perfect and the vocabulary befitting. I liked it a lot and would recommend reading it, even if there is some self-doubt in if you may or may not like the book, I would still give it a shot because you may find yourself pulled in.

Tangled Roots (Witches of Willow Creek: Tangled Magic Series Book 1) by Denise D. Young – Review by Hansini Wasalamudalige

Tangled Roots (Tangled Magic, #1)Tangled Roots by Denise D. Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tangled Roots marks the first entry of Denise D. Young’s Tangled Magic series. It tells the story of Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Gearhart, a witch who is thrust forty-five years into the future to an unfamiliar 2019 with no recollection as to how or why. Suddenly finding herself without the support of her coven, Cassie finds solace in the arms of one Nicholas ‘Nick’ Felson— the grandson of her dear friend and the last witch left in Willow Creek after mysterious events that Nick is reluctant to disclose. For a story centering around witches and the mystical, a deep and rich magic system is key, and ‘Tangled Roots’ nails this aspect. Young explores the intricacies and rules of the magic that the witches wield in a way that isn’t just mere, dull exposition— she takes the time to actually show readers how their powers work through, for instance, the characters performing magic themselves, rather than outright telling the audience. Through the use of vivid and striking descriptions, Young establishes a creative and imaginative world thrumming with life— it almost inspires me to whip out an essential oil or two just to try my hand at some of the spells depicted. Her detailed world-building goes beyond the sphere of the magical and to the mundane as well, as she captures the feel and character of a tight-knit, small town like Willow Creek so well, it and its residents could be real.

The biggest draw of Tangled Roots, however, are the characters that Young has crafted and the relationships that exist between them. The heroine, Cassie, for instance, is a strong, stubborn and powerful witch with such a compelling background and personality, you’d be hard-pressed not to want the absolute best for her. A female protagonist being rendered into a waif damsel-in-distress is an issue that I’ve encountered in many books similar to this one, but Cassie couldn’t be further from this. Yes, she is distressed, and yes, she is vulnerable, but she herself has the strength to overcome the obstacles in her path and to take charge and take matters into her own hands. There are also many other fleshed-out female characters, such as Ginny, Nick’s grandmother and Cassie’s mentor, and the elusive and cryptic Guardian of Willow Creek, who seemingly has big plans in store for Cassie and Nick. The relationships between these women are complex and profound— ridden with things both said and left unsaid and heavy with a sense of foreboding and intrigue.

The most captivating relationship, however, is between Cassie and Nick themselves. What struck me the most was how healthy their romance was when this genre is often plagued with relationships bordering on dangerous. Nick is a gentleman through-and-through— always ensuring that Cassie is comfortable with their level of intimacy before proceeding and putting her feelings and needs above any misgivings he may have. The two connect and support each other like a real loving couple would— lifting each other up when the other falls. It was truly sweet and heartwarming to read about how much they cared for each other.

In conclusion, if you have a hankering for a story filled to the brim with magical destinies, supernatural enigmas and fascinating characters, I cannot recommend Tangled Roots enough. It will satiate this need and then some.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jessica Aiken-Hall is an outstanding writer, leaving you wondering what is going to happen next. This book is a page turner and makes you feel as though you should not put it down without finishing the entire book. Halfway through the book, Aiken-Hall gives you enough details to patch along some of the mystery, as does Molly so you are on the roller coaster of emotion with her. I gave this book a shot out of the dark, not knowing whether I would like it or not, because I have not always liked the way some writers have written but this author does not disappoint. The anger, the lies, the fear, the agony, and the stench of betrayal? Who can Molly truly trust? Give this book a shot!

This story is full of suspense and keeps you on your toes and you just want to keep reading more in order to find out what happens next.

House in the woods by Jessica Aiken-Hall is a story about a 19 year old girl Molly Jackson who is finishing her second year of college looking forward to a relaxing summer. Her mom has dementia and when she goes missing Molly’s whole world gets turned upside down when she finds a flyer of a missing girl who looks exactly like her. Why has Molly never heard of this girl? Why do they look so much alike? What doesn’t she know?

Throughout the story so much is uncovered that Molly never expected to find out. What truths can she handle and what truths can she not? Every page is so beautifully scripted that you can’t stop reading. I sat down and read it all at once because I just couldn’t put it down. Give it a read to figure out what big secrets Molly finds out.

This book was soo much fun to read. The author created this amazing and original new world and provided us with the most unique characters to inhabit it. Kerrie Noor weaves together this quirky ,funny, sarcastic, and witty Sci-Fi Comedy where we explore a true battle of men vs. women. We start of being introduced to the world of Planet Hy Man and watch as men and women come to inhabit this desolate planet. Men and women arrive together to this planet celibate and as the story unfolds we watch as the men solely attempt to impregnate women, and the women fight to establish their equality. Its a very humorous take on men vs women and what it takes for them together to establish this new world despite the sexism and comedic mishaps. You won’t be disappointed with this book.

Attention-grabbing pager-turner! This is a great standalone read by Aiken-Hall. As with others I’ve read of hers, she entices the reader with a well-developed storyline and likable characters that keep you turning the page until the very end. I love a good mystery and this story oozes mystery and intrigue. Though I had a good idea where the story was going, I couldn’t wait to see how it would all unfold.

Molly finds herself in the middle of a mystery, just like all of Datelines she enjoys watching. We follow along with Molly, her family, and new friends as they unravel a decades long mystery that just may change all of their lives for good!

I highly recommend House in the Woods to anyone who likes a good, thrilling mystery!

The Arsonist’s Handbook – so not a fun happy read.   Author does a wonderful job of conveying the thoughts of her characters – actually so well it’s hard to read.  I felt like I was in someone else’s head most of the book.  No doubt,  freaked me out a few times. An excellent read for someone who likes a psychological thriller.  The overall theme of this book – “He who seeks revenge should remember to dig two graves…”

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a read by an author I have never read before, and honestly, I didn’t know what to expect. However, I was hooked from the first page, often find myself missing out on sleep just to read more of this book.
The characters are wonderfully developed and so well thought out that at time this was a hard read just because it was so real. You follow Jameson who is trying to connect to the author of a book he finds in the attic and his journey through several revelations and uncovered secrets.
Then there’s Pete and coming to terms with his marriage falling apart, having an affair, and a great tragedy that turns his world upside down. Will revenge be enough to help him move forward? Or will it send him spiraling down a dark path?
There were so many twists and turns in this book that leave you guessing on how everything might end. It was very easy to get lost in the lives of these characters and become invested in each of their stories. Will anyone come out unscathed? You’ll have to read the book to find out but it is definitely worth it!

After reading the first book, Next Door to a Star I was thrilled there was a sequel. Competing with a Star did not disappoint. It was full of teenage drama, love and confusion. Hadley and Nick’s relationship seems to be blooming well when Hadley shows her true naïve side. I did love how Nick was vulnerable with Hadley. All in all I liked the book, the drama and the realness of relationships these days.

The Don was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.

Vanessa is a hairstylist trying to earn extra money to find a Doctor that can help her brother. She loves making her clients look beautiful. She also has a specific view on men, there are two types, angels and a-holes.

Grey is the Don of the Underworld, when he comes to earth to renegotiate a contract he meets Van. There is something special about her that has him changing his plans and he rents a room from her neighbor. When Van sees Grey she can see a glow around him and an attraction to him, who is he?

Van also meets Raef who happens to be drawn to her as well and wants to help her. They end up seeing more of each other and he is starting to show Van there may be more than two types of men.

Will she be able to get the help her brother needs before it’s too late?

Overall I really enjoyed this read, I felt like there were several stories going on and they connected well. I have to say the dreams she had were hot as heck. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I’m torn between Grey and Raef, they both were hot and I just can’t quite make up my mind on my favorite. We do get a heck of a cliffhanger at the end that left me in shock. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series to see what happens next. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today.

The Rise Of Manifesto The Great: A Sci Fi Comedy Where Women Wear The Trousers (Planet Hy Man)The Rise Of Manifesto The Great: A Sci Fi Comedy Where Women Wear The Trousers by Kerrie Noor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a book for those over 18 due to its adult nature and sometimes graphic content.

Manifesto The Great is the grandson of the first leaders of the Planer Hy Man, leaders of a race of space faring men and women who were travelling through space on a ship to find a new hospitable planet where they could forge a new way of living, but living on spaceships can be cramped, especially of you are on them for a long time, so these particular wayfarers decided that sex was off the table and abstinence was the new normal, as well as segregation of the sexes so taht there was no temptation to fornicate. After a while this became the norm and nobody questioned it, until they arrived on Planet Hy Man where there was plenty of fresh air, space to live and expand and as it turns out a copious amount of hemp, this new found freedom leant itself to the reintegration of the sexes, fresher food and plenty of sex and partying in celebration and this is how they lived until some order had to be established, however, the views on how to do this were poles apart according to whether it was the females or the males who were speaking, in the end the males shouted the loudest and declared that they would do the work and the women were to procreate and look after the children and nothing mroe than that.

This way of living carried on for years, technology was invented, created and used to their advantage, including four-legged creatures and statues, the hemp was farmed and life was good, until the planet started to become more polluted and the women had had enough when their rights and duties were reduced even more and they felt like it was unfair that they were only regarded as baby making machines and walking wombs. Things were marginally better under the second leader, but when he passed away, the successor was even worse, a typical mans man who only thought of sex and participating in a sport he created of pulling spaceships, the women lost more rights and the men weren’t happy either, that is until Manifesto The Great came along and hoped to find a balance which sutied all the people of Planet Hy Man before they either tore each other or the planet apart. He tried to listen to women’s views as well as the mens, albeit the past leaders had female advisors, the men were always seeking to either overthrow them or cast them out as spies, believing that they were weak and brainless, the women however, wanted to prove them wrong once and for all.

Will Manifesto The Great be able to live up to the legacy which his forefathers left behind, will be able to make the wise decisions which will please both the men and the women, or will he drown in their demands for a better life and more equality? This is a comedic sci-fi adventure with plenty of crazy action, argumentative women and equally argumentative men who will drag you into their lives and keep you firmly ensconced there throughout the book.

It is a YA paranormal fantasy, that gives us a light hearted look at young Witches at the Grave Digger Academy and one in particular who has newly learned of her abilities and doesn’t want to be there. This book had a Harry Potteresque feel to it, I mean who doesn’t love Potter? and it is a fun read. This adventurous tale flows nicely and is excitingly intriguing. With great world-building, and delightful characters CA has set the scene with multiple layers to be explored and revealed and a plot going forward that looks exciting and promising. It is an Academy that is full of secrets and things that are hidden within the grounds and in the dark. It is a great start to this series.

Jeremy is a seventeen year old boy, he lives with his mother, is a devout Roman Catholic, helps out around the house and in the diner where the family swap a hot meal for a useful skill or useful things left over from the time before technology broke down and lies changed forever, he lives in a world which has survived a plague, a plague which wiped out most of the population and left the rest barren, infertile and unable to reproduce at all, apart from Jeremy, he is pregnant and nearing full term at that. Leslie is an agnostic woman who has lost her faith since the plague hit and so has been travelling around the country to find out about how the plague has affected the population and whether there is any hope to save humanity, this is where she meets Jeremy and his mother and finds out about his extraordinary tale of how he became pregnant.

As she has nowhere to stay, she is invited to stay in the spare room of the house Jeremy and his mother live in, again, in exchange for working and helping out or making use of a special skill, it is at the mealtime with the local priest and a neighbouring family where she hears of how the Virgin Mary visited Jeremy on a hot summers day and asked him if he would bear a child for her, Leslie is skeptical to say the least, but Jeremy believes it wholeheartedly and his mother is slowly beginning to believe in it too. The only problem is how Jeremy is going to give birth to this miracle child and stay healthy in the meantime, at least this is his mother’s main worry, Jeremy is convinced that things will all work out according to God’s plan, however, they are in luck when Leslie reveals that she is a midwife and may be able to help them both through this trying time.

Will Leslie be able to help Jeremy to safely deliver this baby while being bombarded with her thoughts of her waned faith and the unfaltering faith of those around her, will this crisis be something she can work through in time, or will it affect more than just herself? This is an original and captivating tale which will draw you into the lives of those surviving in this dystopian world and sticking with them to the conclusion of the story.

Manda Mellett has quickly become my favorite MC Club author! Avenging Devil Part 1 is so far my favorite of her books. Niram is about as sexy as they come. He is drawn to Saffie the very moment he lays eyes on her in an OB office. He doesn’t know why, but he absolutely cannot help but be in her corner. He has no idea the horrors she suffered at the hands of an MC Club, and she has no idea he’s a biker at first, until he learns of the danger she is in and offer’s her the club’s protection. This story had me on the edge of my seat. I could not put it down! I love the characters, loved the plot, loved the way I couldn’t predict what was going to happen next. I love that going into this book, I already knew who the characters were and what there stories were, as I’ve read the other Satan’s Devils books in the series, and they’re all almost as great as this one. There were so many parts that had me terrified, which added to the awesomeness of it! I loved this book so much I give it 5 stars and have already pre-ordered part 2!

Tangled Roots (Tangled Magic, #1)Tangled Roots by Denise D. Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed Tangled Roots by Denise D Young. It was an interesting story and I really liked the characters she created. The story centers around Cassie and Nick. It is the journey they go through to finding each other and love. There is magic and an evil that must be fought. This novel was the first in a series and I am looking forward to reading more.

Shield & Shade (Ascended Guardians Book 1) by Misty Hayes – Review by Alexandria Richard

Shield & ShadeShield & Shade by Misty Hayes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heads up, this is a spin off to The Blood Dagger trilogy, which I did not realize going in.

Having not read the Blood Dagger trilogy, this had slower start that left me scratching my head at some of the references, but once I got to about 30% I was completely immersed and couldn’t put the book down! All of my questions and confusion were answered, and then more! I’m in awe of the character building in this book and cannot wait to read more in this series!

Shield & Shade takes the paranormal genres for vampires, angels, and demons, and turns them on their heads!

I’m not normally a big fan of books that switch POV between more than two characters, but here I didn’t feel like I was losing out on information by being in another’s perspective, instead I felt it gave us more information and background than we would have otherwise had. I enjoyed the “coming of age” aspect for Zoey and Cruz, with their minds being blown that angels and the paranormal exist. I can appreciate Zoey’s mom wanting to protect her youngest child, who had a traumatic experience at 5, but c’mon, you also have to let your child live!

I will certainly be searching for the Blood Dagger books, as well as any others written by Misty.

Her Blackened Rose (The Blackened Series Book 3) by Isra Sravenheart – Review by Sheri Schrader

Her Blackened Rose (Blackened #3)Her Blackened Rose by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Rose is the third book in the Blackened Series by Isra Sravenheart. I highly recommend reading the series in order because the story continues throughout the books. This time the dark Lady Isra is challenged with trust and deception. Whom can she trust? Astrid and Isra are facing issues and then there is a missing man whose family blames Isra for the disappearance. In this book, the stakes are higher and there is more action and suspense to the story. I like how the series has developed and I have become more interested in Lady Isra’s story. Also, there is an interesting development of what constitutes dark and evil. Perceptions change when there is more knowledge.
I look forward to reading the next book in the series and seeing what happens with Lady Isra next.

Her Blackened HeartHer Blackened Heart by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Heart by Isra Sravenheart is the second book in the Blackened series. I recommend reading the first book before this to enjoy the book fully. The story takes us and gives us insight into the past of Lady Isra. There are battles of light and dark and of mortal and immortal. I really enjoyed the new characters and the development of Lady Isra and Astrid. I also enjoyed the development of the ongoing story and am curious as to what will happen as the series progresses. I look forward to reading the next book in this series soon.

The Rise Of Manifesto The Great (Planet Hy Man) by Kerrie Noor – Review by Chrissy Spulak

The Rise Of Manifesto The Great: A Sci Fi Comedy Where Women Wear The Trousers (Planet Hy Man)The Rise Of Manifesto The Great: A Sci Fi Comedy Where Women Wear The Trousers by Kerrie Noor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Rise Of Manifesto The Great (Planet Hy Man) by Kerrie Noor is very fast-paced and very funny! I appreciate a good satire and this held my attention to the very end. This book is the first of three prequels to the Planet Hy Man book, which I had never heard of before picking this up. Thus far, this planet has remained pure. The latest group to arrive on Planet Hy Man are ready for real experiences. When Manifesto the Great takes power, he has to find his stride and learn to control the women. The comedy and spoof that follows is a tickle to the funny bone. As I said, I love a good satire, especially when there are some kick-ass characters involved. Even if this isn’t the typical type of book for you to dive into, I recommend that you do, anyway. I recommend this book for some good chuckles, and I’ve been inspired to travel again to Planet Hy Man and to visit more works by Kerrie Noor.

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened Series Book 1) by Isra Sravenheart – Review by Sheri Schrader

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened, #1)Her Blackened Soul by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Soul by Isra Sravenheart is the first book in the Blackened Series. Lady Isra is a dark witch and the primary character of this book. I enjoyed the idea of the story from the villain’s point of view. She is a dark character who has taken on powers that limits who can see her. I liked that the story is from a different view and that she is a relatable character despite being bad. The story kept me reading and wanting to know how this would work with Lady Isra and her powers. I am looking forward to reading more in this series soon.
