Dark Bastard is book five in the Dark Sparrow series by the enigmatic author, India Kells. There is nothing better than a troubled soul that finds the light. It appeals to my dark and twisted side. There is always an abundance of excitement and adrenalin inducing action. I love the evolving of each character. The author can spin a tale so the reader can almost feel like an extension of the book. I become one with the characters and there hurt is my hurt. Their triumphs are mine. Their tragedies break my heart. Sam needs to save Evie, while battling his own demons. Their charisma was spine tingling and the feeling between them was everything. Emotions were always high and anything could happen at the next turn of the page. A reader needs to brace. For anything. For everything. This author provides all. Everything a reader could ever possibly want or need in a romance. Its all there. Nothing is spared. An that makes this series, these characters, and this author, unforgettable. Losing a piece of my heart to each and every character is magical. 5 stars.

Wow, this was my first book by R. Weir and the first book I have read from the Jarvis Mann Detective series and now I want to get all of them. I did not realize this was book number 8 in the series but it really didn’t matter, there was enough backstory when it was needed that I was not missing anything I needed to know.
Jarvis is a PI he keeps unfolding this mystery right before your eyes. Every twist and turn in this book has another lead to follow, along with a bunch of really unsavory people.
Mann in the Crossfire is a page turner that kept me reading until the very end.
I love when you can find a book by an author you haven’t read before and then want to read more because of their writing. R. Weir will be an author I watch from now on to make sure I don’t miss a new book.
What’s not to love!?! Dragon shifters and romance make a brilliant combination. This is the first book I have read from this author and even though this is the second book of the series I didn’t feel like I was any missing threads of the story. The author’s writing is well executed and I love the world she has created. It is a short story though, so a quick read. Looking forward to reading more in this series.

Bared is the first book in the Green St. Girls series by N.D Jackson. I have loved reading N.D Jackson’s other books, so when I saw this, I snapped up a copy and dove right in to see what she had in store for us this time. It is a great read- a contemporary romance- with wonderful characters. The story had all the ingredients to keep me avidly reading- and before I knew it I had devoured the whole story- in one sitting. As expected, N.D Jackson writes beautifully- her descriptive details brought the story to life- the characters especially are really well developed, complex, and quite endearing. I loved meeting Athena and the rest of the Green St. Girls- add Tru to the mix and the story really shines! Can’t wait for more. Bring on Book #2! A great start to a new series! Happy Reading!

Wow. I am completely wowed by this story. Avenging Devil Part 2 is Book 4 in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series by Manda Mellett. This author has such a way with words and knows exactly how to suck you in from the beginning. This story is the continuation of the third book in the series. Saffie has a seriously ridiculous past. Full of violence and abuse that no woman should ever endure. And for Saffie there just may be no way out. Not if Niran has anything to do with it however. Niran is in the thick of it and Saffie believes the lies that are displayed. Will he ever be able to get her and himself out alive? Will she ever believe the real Niran? Well, I am not going to spoil it for you. I will tell you that you will be on an emotional roller coaster. There are so many ups and downs along with twists and turns. This book is so stinking good, I am so excited for the next book in the series. However, I do recommend at least reading Part 1 before you read this book so you can understand what is taking place. You will not be disappointed with this book or any of the books in this series!

Well, this review might be a hard one to write because I don’t want to give anything away! This was a psychological, twisted story about a toxic sister relationship. Secretive details about a sister’s life start to unfold, while the other sister follows, literally, in her footsteps. I enjoyed the fact that the story kept me bouncing ideas back and forth about what could be going on. I did start to get an idea half-way through the book about this surprising ending. However, as a psychological professional, my mind tends to wander in ways that many people don’t – it’s dark and a little pathological. I would say if you want to be surprised, try to enjoy the book and not over analyze it like I tend to do. Worth the read!

Avenging Devil: Part 2 was an incredible read! This book picks up exactly where part 1 left off. I think I like this part better to be honest. There is a lot more action, and the story starts to pick up. This one (to me) was just overall more entertaining and this is the one where all the action starts and ends. I was in tears, suspense and even laughter throughout reading this book. So far these 2 parts might be some of my favorites of Mellett’s Satan’s Devils MC series! I absolutely can not wait to read the next installment in this series!

Glenn Maynard is a new author to me that I am going to look forward to reading more. Chatroom With a View is a frightful good story. It is scary, psychological, thriller, and suspenseful. The characters are fully developed and complex-complicated. It is about a serial killer’s family and a “killer” gene passed down through the generations. Troy comes from a family that has members that have been serial killers. Veronica is Troy’s ex-girlfriend who is now pregnant. She is worried that her baby may have the “killer” gene. Troy has his own agenda. What happens next you will have to read. I highly recommend this book. It is a page-turner so I recommend leaving enough time to finish it in one seating.

Cursed Touch is book four in the Broderick Coven series and Ms. Renee has outdone herself. Her writing per usual flows smoothly and beautifully, and her plot line flows just as wonderfully. As usual her characters are delightful and between them and her plot I was hooked from the first chapter. While this was a great read I personally think it was too short, but still an amazing read none the less. Even though this is a paranormal romance you find yourself relating to the characters and their day to day lives. Ms. Renee seems to be able to pull her readers in from chapter one and make them not want to put this book down until they have devoured it in one sitting. So if your looking for a fast and easy paranormal romance to read this weekend then I highly recommend Cursed Touch by A.J. Renee.

Toni Denise gives us a great novel in Out of Time. This book is the fourth in its series and while I have not read the previous three this one was easy to follow, the characters where wonderful, and the plot was so thrilling that I couldn’t put it down. Her story is filled with suspense, drama, love, and so much more that I devoured the book in one sitting. Ms. Denise gives us such great characters in Jessica, Will and her other characters that I plan on going back and reading the first three. Personally I hope that Ms. Denise isn’t done with this series as I can’t wait to see what she does with these characters next.

Once again R. Weir has written a brilliant suspense story with Mann in the Crossfire. His plot is fast paced and includes perfectly placed clues, complex characters, and so much suspense that you’ll be reading it in one sitting. While Mann in the Crossfire is part of a series Mr. Weir has done a wonderful job writing them to where they can be read as a stand alone. While I have read quite a few of Mr. Weir’s novels I have to say this series is one of my favorites and I have to wonder if this eighth installment is the end for Mann. Personally I hope Mr. Weir continues this series.

Out of Time is book four in it’s series and a first time read for me from this author! Although fourth in its series, it can be read as a standalone. Very much enjoyed it so! I most certainly will be going back to read the first book in the series and going from there! Just such a wonderful story from the start to finish! A page turner for me for sure! The characters are engaging and well developed with loads of chemistry between them. Couldn’t put book down until finished. I highly recommend this book.

I’m obsessed with this book!!! I never thought my greek mythology obsession could get any bigger but it just did! With adventure and romance this book has everything! I love reading about the main gods but this fictional love story between Hermes and Kat just has me falling in love with them too. Plus the twist!! Ugh I couldn’t have seen that coming in a hundred years. This book is a quick read, but I might just be saying that because I couldn’t put it down. Carrie Pulkinen is an amazing story teller and just makes you want more of the adventure. I highly highly suggest picking up this book if you like romance, adventure and especially greek mythology. Oh and there are also other supernatural beings in this book too so… what more could you ask for?
I really enjoyed this book! Having not read the previous ones, there were some things I did not get right away, but the explanations were adequate enough. Some aspects of the storyline I had my suspicions about but did not have it all figured out. The flow seemed to work well and it wrapped up in a good way. I will have to go read the other ones next! Great entertaining read and it kept moving at a good pace.

Avenging Devil Part 2: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
5 out of 5 stars
Ms. Mellett out did herself with Avenging Devil part 2 I simply loved it so much that I read this book I one day. I was upset with the way Ms. Mellett left us with a big cliff hanger but it was so worth it. The characters are written amazingly. They are strong minded and the way these characters play off each other are great and their quirks make them feel real.
I have loved reading the different chapters and how they come together as a family then to see all these different chapters come together as one was awesome. This is the conclusion of Niran and Saffie’s story.
Can Niran talk himself into the Crazy wolves? What do the crazy wolves have planned for Niran? Can the Satan Devils save their brother and old lady before it’s too late?
You will need to read this book but make sure you read part 1 in Avenging Devil…

Houses of Deception is the sixth book in Cynthia Hamilton’s Madeline Dawkins Series. It’s a real page-turner, with yet more mysteries to solve as Madeline, Matt and Samir are drawn into two (or is it three?) missing-persons cases. In both cases, there’s a personal element to their involvement. Tara disappears mere hours after her anniversary party, which Madeline was involved in organising. And Dylan is the son of a PI who risked everything to help Madeline. So the team can’t really turn them down, even when both cases start to look much bigger and more dangerous than they initially appeared. I could not put this down! I love the amount of detail Hamilton includes. I kept wondering what was going to turn out to be relevant to solving the case, and what was a red herring or just part of painting a more vivid picture. Speaking of pictures, I loved the art history elements and have enjoyed following up on them and seeing the painting mentioned! This is a very enjoyable series. I’ve not read the books in order (why? Why do I do this?) and I think reading them in order is probably the best way to watch the characters grow and develop, but you can definitely get away with dipping in and out of the series. It’s great for fans of mysteries with a bit of tension and action. It gets five stars from me!

Oh my goodness. This book sank its’ fangs into me (pun intended). What an amazing story line and character development. I appreciate the time that it took to develop the backstory. I was never confused as it was all explained and cohesive. I was instantly hooked and could not put the book down. It was a nice refreshing take on vampires. I look forward for more books in the future!

Fury of Conviction (“Villains” of the Dragonfury Series) by Coreene Callahan is a paranormal story. This is the second book in the series and is a short story. The story flows nicely but I wish it were longer than a little tease. The plot is simplistic in its telling but has enough of everything to hold your interest and become invested. With sexy alpha Dragon shifters this little taste of what Coreene can do will have me running back to read more of this intriguing and interesting world she has created. I do love me some shifters.

I am a lover of all fantasy and sci-fi. And I have to say that I have fallen in love with this book and cannot wait to read more of the series.
Alena Athscar loses everything: family…home – everything that has grown to love in her world. She is then raised and trained in the Guild of Thieves and Assassins. Once she has completed her training, she needs to complete a trial which will then allow her to be a full member of the Guild. She will then be given her first task or assignment.
I love how the author, Martin Ferguson, enticed me into this world of mystical characters. I love reading the development of the character of Alena. There are parts of the character’s history that I want to know more about and I just know that it will be in the next books of the series. I cannot wait to read those!

This is Book 2 in the Cadence Defined series, a novel about a second chance love story which picks up 17 years after the first book ends. Although there is a large time gap between novels, Willink maintains her characters personalities throughout their developing timelines.
I listened to the audio book and both narrators did an awesome job; great chemistry and performance! Having two narrators helped to keep events and conversations separated, as without words to follow it can get mixed up in your mind.
Willink has created a great developing plot, which is easy to follow if you haven’t read/listened to Book 1. Reading Book 1 will give you more insight to the characters past and how they were as young adults.
Be prepared that there are firm political views that arise, which were hard not to skip, but other than that Willink has delivered yet again!

This is Book 2 in the Nite Fire Series, and picks up right after the first book. I would consider this series as urban fantasy; it is action packed and has some tense drama.
I listened to the audio book and there were moments in the beginning where I had to play some chapters again as my mind kept wondering. I stuck it out and glad that I did, King did an excellent job with her narration.
Schneider does a great job of maintaining the flow and characters throughout the novels. Schneider writes with a balance of characters emotion and action, as well as great world building and developing plot.

I loved this book and am so excited to have found this author. This cozy mystery hits all of the right notes. And to find out it’s part of a series – even better!! Such a fun story and I loved trying to figure out how it would resolve. So good.
Azrael by Matthew Huntley is a brilliant suspense book that is well written and intriguing. This is the first book I have read by this author and I love the writing style he brought to the pages. The book didn’t feel too dark or heavy but had just the right amount of suspense and thrill to keep you fully engaged. With each page he pulled me further into the story and I couldn’t want to see how it would all turn out. This whole book felt like a fresh new take on this genre and I am excited to see what the author does next.

Bared: A Green St Girls Romance by N.D. Jackson is, at its heart, a story about great friendships and how strong connections mean everything. I loved that, even though the story was about Athena and Tru, it was about all four women as well. It felt like you really connected with them and for me they made the whole story. This is an author that I have become more familiar with recently and I love her writing style. Each book feels distinctly different from the last I read and I enjoy that about her work. This is a great overall book and I am looking forward to whatever comes next.

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. I enjoyed being pulled in from the beginning. This is a fast paced story that I found to be engaging and hard to put down. The characters are not only relatable but also hot and steamy. They gave life to the story on every page. This is a story about Theo and Aria. He is a cop that is trying to take down a mafia family. He is someone that Aria would love to hate and love. There is a raging war with her family and the problem is Theo is the one who wants to be the victor. He is supposed to be off limits but she can’t help it that everytime he touches her, something happens. What will fate have in store for these two? I enjoyed the chemistry between these two and their heat is off the charts. The growth between these two is amazing. They really made the story for me. This is worth the pick up and I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed this friends to enemies story. This is a sweet romance-mystery story that kept me engaged and turning pages to the end. This is a well written story that had me laughing throughout the story. The characters are connectable and bring life to the story. They are written with a lot of heart and soul. The author’s use of details made the story realistic and fun to read. This is a story about Elle and Zane. She thinks that he is trying to sabotage her business. The only way she can prove it is to get close to him. Will she get more than she bargained for? What will fate have in store for these two? I really enjoyed these two characters. They truly made the story for me. I am happy I picked up this book and the laughs that come with it. I highly recommend this book.

I love cozy romantic stories and this one really delivered! It was as if a delicious cake with all the layers needed to satisfy a craving, but yet left you wanting more! This was my first read by the author and I am completely head over heels with her work! I spent my entire day reading this, no regrets here! It was a great way to fulfill my morning!
I am a past bakery owner so I always love stories that focus around a bakery. Throw in the two main characters Elle and Zane. Both truly different, but can they find common ground? Perhaps there is a attraction between one another but, both are so wrapped up in their own worlds they can not see it?
Elle owns a wonderful bakery that belonged to her mom. Having this bakery truly has a special place in Elle’s heart. You can tell as you get to know her character that keeping it is really everything to her. As Elle has this bakery.. well so does Zane, but he owns a bakery next door. He is on a different financial level in terms of Elle. He’s basically quite rich. And he is the type of guy if he wants something as in obtaining the next door bakery, you can damn well be sure he’s going to make sure he gets it .To put it mildly, Zane knows how to push Elle’s buttons. As stubborn as she is, she is not one to give in. Even if he may have very charming good looks as well as well as is good with his hands (in terms of baking of course) Perhaps zingers of an attraction can make a dessert so heavenly that it can melt the steel walls between these two people? But they are sworn enemies. How possibly can they over come their differences and realize what is front of them is maybe everything they ever needed?
Elle is a strong and determined person. She believes if she charms Zane with her sweet desserts she will have him wrapped around her finer. She believes matters of the heart are always easy to ignore and she can do this. As time goes on they both grow and change in different ways and we the readers learn new things about their characteristics. They both have a different personality that is so likable and lets face it, they both have that cute personality and their methods of how they go about one another has so much adorableness you cant shy away from wanting to read more to see how things go about!
They both did the unthinkable. Yup. They fell crazy in love with one another. Ells is facing some personal things more than meets the eye. Though she failed her original plan she found the one thing she may very well be unable to live without! But will love triumph overall? Is there wedding bells in this future and perhaps even a wedding cake? Or will this all end before it really even had a chance to put frosting on the cake?
I could not put this book down. Zane and Elle kept me reading and wanting more. I swear it was a good tasting cake. Perfect balance of sweetness but, not to sweet where I had to put it down. i was rooting for these two seriously destined to be together humans. Even if at times they didn’t see eye to eye, they were indeed the perfect recipe for one another.
Again really enjoyed this book and did not want to spare a moment till I finished reading it. Very happy I got to read this book and grow along with Elle and Zane!
Highly recommend. I am pretty sure you wont be able to put it down as I was. Most importantly this author did an amazing story and I truly enjoyed and was quite happy reading it! Wonderful read!

I loved the way the author wove the stories of U.S. black history into personal journal entries through generations of a family. The book included historic moments and public figures, and offered several events I hadn’t previously learned about. The storytelling manner made the factual information easier to digest and feel less like a history lesson. I found it interesting to read about the events from the perspective of both children and adults, which helped really weave an intricate tapestry full of emotion. Having read gruesome accounts of slavery, I appreciated gaining a bit more knowledge of modern black history and how the weight of the past has been carried through generations.

Despite her best efforts to keep her heart encased in a fortress, Athena finds herself giving up morsels of herself to Tru between steamy hookups and sharp-witted banter. The pair find themselves the center of attention among Athena’s friends, who are concerned she’s given up finding joy in life for the comforts of self-reliance, and Tru’s mom, who wants to see her son settle down and have kids already. For Athena’s part, she’s still grieving her best friend’s death and trying to overcome emotional baggage she’s used to just running away from. For Tru’s part, he’s been toyed with before, and after spending some time together, is looking for more than just a fun time.
The author does a great job setting the scene and providing character development. This book has a strong, independent woman who isn’t looking for a hero, which is my favorite type of protagonist; Athena is self-made and only needs to battle her own past to overcome the obstacles in her way. I found the plot to be refreshing in that it wasn’t overly dark despite heavier topics (like grief and abandonment), there were healthy relationships between the characters, and the emotional rollercoaster that goes along with dating someone new was super relatable.
