Great book to indulge your senses that was easy to read and understand. Very easily a page-turner from the beginning. These characters are easy to love and give you so much to look forward to. The fantasy element makes it unpredictable. I love how entertaining it was that I couldn’t put it down. Very original but interesting!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a fun 4 star read. This is a very short story that you can read in one sitting.

Poppy has the hots for her neighbor, Tuner but has been trying to hide it behind her friendship with him. One day there is a very daring twist and he shocks Poppy with his declaration.

What does Turner see in Poppy? Can she get past her insecurities?

Overall this was a fun read. We get some steaminess. Both characters were loveable and you felt for Poppy and how nervous she was. I do wish that it was a little longer, at times it felt a little rushed. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. The author did a great job with her writing and pulled you right in. I can’t wait to read more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A short yet sweet read, Sex on Fire by Ashley Bostock is the perfect book to read if you love short stories. Most readers will be able to devour this during lunch breaks or to wind down prior to bed.

Turner is the sexy next door neighbor to Poppy that she can’t stop fantasizing about. Despite having his choice in women, Turner has his eyes set on his nerdy but adorable neighbor Poppy, and the rest is history. Ashley writes a good story, even with a bit of turmoil in there between the characters.

I am definitely excited to read the rest of her books in the future!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Grave Digger Academy by C.A. King, 5 stars.

I have really enjoyed this author in the past and was looking forward to seeing what this book had in store for me. Not to mention, the title and concept seemed really interesting too. It surpassed my expectations. Makayla ends up in a magic academy no one wants to be in. But she does what she has to and along the way realizes more about herself and her ancestors than she ever realized. The cast of characters is varied and interesting and really helps to make this a wonderful book. The story itself really sets it aside from other books. Yes, it’s a YA magical academy book, but the foundation for the academy is quite different and is what really hooked me. I could not put this book down and hope to see many more in this series and interesting world.

The author really has another hit on their hands and I highly recommend it.

It read like a dream… like the dream where you wake up on time, but you are somehow inexplicably later and later for every appointment that dream has scheduled until you are days late for the big one. Yea, that dream. I like the plot, and the imagery was cool. I plan to read the sequels.

Grave Digger Academy is the last place you want to end up when applying to schools. When the schools Makayla applied to all reject her this is where she ends up. Why did she get rejected by all three schools? Her grades weren’t the greatest, but surely they weren’t that horrible either? Follow Makayla as she navigates her way through some bizarre circumstances and finds out her true family history.

This was a fun paranormal YA book. I honestly was unsure what I was picking up to read as I purely chose the book based off of the title alone. This is definitely geared toward an early teen or preteen audience, but is still enjoyable for anyone above that age category. I look forward to seeing what Makayla and her classmates get up to in the next installment.

Grave Digger Academy was my first read by C.A. King, and I for one was not disappointed in this paranormal story. At less then 200 pages, I finished this amazing story in a matter of hours and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. C.A. King gives us a great protagonist, eccentric but well loved teachers, and a story line that provides tons of dark and magical things. C.A. King also provides us with wonderfully developed characters, great word building, and a plot that leaves the readers wanting more. So if your looking for a great new YA series then I highly recommend Grave Digger Academy.

Tangled Roots (Witches of Willow Creek: Tangled Magic #1) by Denise D. Young

This is the first book I’ve read by Denise D. Young. She is a very talented author and I will be reading more of her work.

Cassie is originally from 1974. She was running from her family. Asking the Guardian for help didn’t really help her. Being a tree for 45 years isn’t as great as it seems. The quote I chose for Cassie is: “Have a nice night. Thanks for your help.”

Nick is the first person to see Cassie and learn the truth. Now that he knows his family is still alive just stuck somewhere. He finds that he is falling for Cassie. The quote I chose Nick is: “Now, I have a shot at a future. With the ones I love. With magic. With you.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

Of Fire & Bone (Of Magic and Scales Book 3) by Natalina Reis was a really good read! This was a great continuation of the series, and it’s full of romance, feels, suspense, and tons of twists and turns. Or at least, I thought there were several twists and turns. I also laughed a good bit while reading this book too. You’ll definitely fall in love with all of the zany characters that are in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great thriller. It was hard for me to read, only because it is one of my worst fears as a mother. No one wants to think about having to bury their child, let alone bury their child because they were beaten so badly. I really felt like I could relate to Sam, as a mother how far would I go for justice for one of my children? I can’t say, only those who’ve had to live it can say. My heart broke for Sam over and over, I just can’t imagine the pain. I really enjoyed reading Least Likely Suspect: Revenge by Cooper McKenzie. This was my first book by this author. I’m excited about the other works and hoping for another book like this or maybe a book 2? Please! I highly recommend this for the thrill-seeking readers out there, or even if you just need to switch up genres you read! You won’t be disappointed!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beginnings and Endings: A Selection of Short Stories by Jane Suen was an interesting read. Each short story is very quick, I read this whole book in about 20 minutes. I would have to say, Grits Girl and The End Of Summer were my two favorites. The Accident just left me wanting more. I didn’t particularly like how the story ended on that one. The End Of Summer would be great to have a sequel. I would love to find out what Mikey’s response is at the end. All in all this was a very quick, entertaining read, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this collection of short stories.

4 out of 5 stars

This is the first book by this author that I have read and it was great. The Halfling Court is a well-crafted and thought-out book. The Characters are well written I loved the way they played off of each other and their quirks.

If you like motorcycles and paranormal then you will love reading this book. We meet Lance Cosain, the halfling leader of The Wild Hunt MC, he protects his turf and his people from attacks ordered by Dair na Scath, the high king of the fae. With the help of his MC, they hold their own against rogue fae, redcaps, and the gremlins of the road. Why can’t Lance just settle down that’s all he wants just to settle and peace.
But instead, he goes toe-to-toe with the high king’s champion over an ancient dagger and the claim to a throne. Who will win? Who would be the best king for the realm?
You need to read this story to find out…

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grave Digger Academy really sets the stage for what seems like will be a unique, fun, and magical new fictional world. Just enough detail is given to the reader to give a clear visual of the world the author is inviting us into, without the length of some other similar stories. You’re kept on your toes throughout the book, wondering what trouble Makayla is going to get herself into next during her stay at the Grave Digger Academy. This academy certainly wasn’t her first choice, but it seems that there was more at play in deciding her fate than Makayla was ever aware of, and I personally can’t wait to find out more of the back story and see where her magical training takes her. Must read!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is an interesting mash-up of faerie lore and motorcycle bad-assery. I was intrigued how that would play out in a novel. The mystical beings were described well, and were easy to imagine. I liked the development of Lance’s powers as a halfling. There were parts of the story that got a bit mundane for me, and I would have liked a little more character development of the side characters. However, it was an interesting read, and the first I’ve read that delved deep into the motorcycle culture, so that was cool and different for me to learn about. If you like paranormal and motorcycle themes, give it a go!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who doesn’t love a bad boy? Most of us do, but we also know they can come with “complications”. Chelsea, the main character in the book, is always attracting the bad boy, but starts to realize it always ends the same, in disappointment. Her roommate, Tom, who is also her brother’s best friend, is tired of hearing about her horrible dating experiences. He agrees to go along with a “dating training” of what it is to date a Nice Guy! I really enjoyed this book and how Williams portrays a love story. From the start there are no boring pages to this book. It is a fast read with great characters, great romance, and a very relatable story line. Personally, it brought me back to my previous, maladaptive dating life, but luckily I too took a chance on a nice guy that changed my life!!

This was such a heartbreaking book to read. The journey the author has been on and her traumas and heartbreak in her life life was so hard to read but at the same time it makes me appreciate the life i have and the love you felt through my childhood and the love i now give my son.

The though of Jessica going through all that when she was young really touched me. All I wanted to do was take the poor little girl away and protect her from what was happening.
It’s a good insight also into how mental illness doesn’t just affect the person with the illness but also everyone around them. This books is a really raw read about struggles, abuse, fighting for love and overcoming your past.

Grave Digger Academy tells the story of Makayla, first year paranormal academy student. Makayla ends up at the one school no one ever wants to be placed at–Grave Digger Academy. But there are things about Makayla she doesn’t know. Who is stalking her in the fog and darkness? Why was she placed at Grave Digger Academy when all her brother went to more prestigious schools? Makayla needs answers–and fast before time runs out.

Grave Digger Academy is a great story. I really liked the characters and their development in the story. And I LOVED Makayla’s helpers!! The story was easy to read and moved along at a good pace. I did, however, feel like the conclusion of the book was rushed and sort of glossed over. I would have liked to have seen more happen to build suspense for the next book. I will for sure be reading the rest of the series!!

Turner finally makes a move and lets Poppy know how he feels. Sparks fly. When a fire starts at a BBQ, Poppy clams up….and retreats back to her safety net, her home. You definitely should read the book and find out if Turner brings Poppy out of her shell and continue their spark. This book is short, sweet and to the point! Totally love it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

C.A. King has found a new way to write about a magical world that stands out from other books in this genre. The synopsis does not give much away about the book; which helps to keep you engaged and wanting to know more. This author has creatively and very uniquely created a world about magic, with twists in fate at every turn. I was hooked by the end of the first chapter!

There are a few times throughout the novel where the next chapter starts at a later time than the previous one ended. It left me confused at moments trying to recall the time frame of events; I feel there could’ve been more detail in regards to flow of the months.

Overall it is a recommended read from me, looking for to reading the next books in the series!

Lake of Flowers by N.L. Holmes is the fifth book in The Lord Hani Mysteries series. I recommend reading these because it helps to understand the characters and the story elements that continue from book to book. This book features a more complex series of events that ties with Hani. He is such a loyal man, and he is being forced to pick sides. I really enjoy the historical elements and how the author works a mystery and sleuthing into ancient Egypt. Also, I have enjoyed the interactions between the characters. There is always complexity in relationships when government, religion, and personal relationships merge and weave together. I look forward to reading more in this series soon.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The author hooked me into this fantasy world from the first sentence. I love how it starts at such a major climax in the story plot. Lucy, the main character, loses her mother who passes away right from the beginning chapter. Lucy is then thrown into an unknown world to live with her two uncles. On top of all her grieving and major life changes, Lucy additionally discovers that she is half-witch, and half-demon. A mixture of good and bad. How is she supposed to process all of this at once? The adjustments to her new life, in my opinion, make this book truly unique.

This is a wonderful story with twists and surprises that caught me completely off-guard. I loved losing myself in this fantasy world while Lucy was able to discover herself. I could not put this book down!
