Isra gets involved in the love triangle with her, Everilda and Jonathan. Just like most true love, it hurts when there’s a betrayal. In this case, it brings on the dark magic. Isra flips out and decides to enter the dark magic. You are feeling Isra’s pain of her first love as she is experiencing it. That feeling of revenge you get when you want to hurt them back can be mighty strong, as it is for Isra. You can feel the tug of lightness try to pull her back but that dark just wins her. During this time, Samuel and his ravens, Astrid and James, are keeping an eye on her because of a prophecy. The plot is very good and easy to read. The characters are full of personality, each one full of personality that just fits like one big puzzle. The details are fantastic. I find myself picturing something along the lines of old English castles. Love this series. Highly Recommend.

The 4th book in the series and again it is well written and great in the fantasy elements. This goes into great detail about lady ISRA. As the villan of her world she thrives on the evil within hell bent in darkness taking over. Caught my attention from the very beginning. I could put down once I started.

I am new to this series. I really loved every part of it. Gruber is a mastermind when it comes to writing. I was thinking it was like a Twilight feel before reading, but was I wrong. The characters and plot had me very much entertained. I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

This is a fast paced page turner which had me hooked from start to finish. The main character Baltimore Detective Dee Quarter is a strong and independent female lead who really brings the story together and I felt that she is a relatable and realistic character, making her easy to engage with. Dee and her partner Detective Connie Wilks have a case to solve when a woman is strangled to death. The investigation becomes personal for Dee when it leads to her ex boyfriend Grayson and causes her current relationship with Winston to be strained. The case also introduces them to cult leader Jonathan Wild, of The Circle. As they continue to investigate it becomes clear that Jonathon wants Dee as a member of The Circle, whether she wants to be or not. The storyline flows well and the plot twists kept me guessing until the end and had me happily turning the pages. It turns out that this series is a spinoff of the authors Bruised Series, and I did feel as I was reading the novel that certain things that were referred to had maybe happened in a previous book. Although this book can be read as a standalone story, I feel that the reader may understand Dee’s backstory better if they have read the other series first. I found this gripping romantic suspense to be an enjoyable and engaging read and I am now keen to read other books by Stacy-Deanne as I liked her writing style.

The Girl and the Gargoyle: YA Paranormal Romance (The Girl and the Raven #2) by Pauline Gruber
This is the second book by Gruber that I’ve read. The Girl and the Gargoyle is the second book in The Girl and the Raven Series. It does need to be read in order.

Potager Plot (A Backyard Farming Series Book 5) by Vikki Walton. This was such a fun read. I love cozy mysteries and this one was great. Its the story of Anne Fremont who is just now getting into designing gardens for people. When one of the main members of the town Garden Club is murdered. Anne knew that she was suffering from cancer but there is no way Anne thinks this death is from the cancer. When everyone is agreed that this was murder Anne and the garden club ladies decide to find out what happened. The deeper they dig the more secrets come out! This book is the 5th in the series and can be read as a standalone but I feel they are much better read in order. Its a fun filled murder mystery that will keep you turning pages late in the night!

Stripped (The Stripped Series Book 1) by Stacy-Deanne is a compelling love triangle suspense novel. A spin-off of the Bruised series by the same author, this book follows Detective Dee of Baltimore. When a murder investigation takes her straight to her ex, she must contend, also, with the leader of a cult. All the while, she must stay true to her love Winston and, more importantly, to herself. Dee struggles with her loyalty to Winston while combating her interest in Jonathan, and she is a character you find yourself rooting for. This book will suck you right in and keep you until the very end. It is the first installment in The Stripped series, so rest assured there will be more to come! Seriously, don’t miss out on this read. The combination of romance and dealings with The Circle (Jonathan’s cult) will definitely keep your interest while satisfying your romantic side. Definitely don’t miss out on the Bruised series to get to know the characters first – however, this can be read as a standalone and enjoyed just fine.

So this is the second book in the series and I thoroughly enjoyed the first one so I was ready to head into this one. Ready I was. Forbidden romance always hits a little different for me and I love itttt. Honestly one of my favourite tropes. This book didn’t disappoint, don’t want to say too much because spoilers. Still loved Tasha and Levi and their relationship. If you want a romance between a vampire and wolf then this is the book for you!
This is the 2nd book in the Girl and the Raven series. This is a captivating young adult story. I would really recommend reading book 1 first so that you get to know all the characters and how they come to be where they are now. I love our leading lady Lucy. She is strong willed and determined and full of fight which she is going to need in this story.
We are back with Lucy after the ending in the 1st book her life has been turned upside down when she finds out she is half-witch, half- demon.
Things get more complicated when her father (demon side) reappears and wants her in his life. But is he back just because she’s his daughter or is something more sinister behind it? Now fearing for the lives of the people she loves Lucy does as her father wants to avoid his anger.
Things also take another turn when her boyfriends mother returns into his life. His mother wants Marcus to leave and rejoin her and his father as protectors. His father however wants Marcus to help him kill Lucy’s father. However if Jude dies so will Lucy.
Now Marcus is on a race against time to save Lucy while Lucy is trying to protect her father. There are so many twists and turns and secrets in this book that you will always be wondering what will happen next.

I really enjoyed this romantic suspense book…..I felt like I was being pulled in the cult aspect of it by a character named Jonathan, just the way he talked and came across as the leader of “The Circle”. Detectives Dee Quarter and Connie Wilks are investigating a murder of a woman whom was strangled. You feel like it leads up to Dee’s ex named Grayson. As you read the story, there is another aspect of it that the woman whom was murdered possibly belonged to this “cult” run by Jonathan Wild. Dee finds herself being pulled in by Jonathan and his girls and they would like her to join “The Circle”. This book had some twists and turns and it is truly intriguing read. I would like to continue the series and I am curious what will happen next. I will be also circling back to the other series’ by Stacy-Deanne as this book is a spin off series. Overall, I really liked this book and I am very intrigued what may happen next.

Ride for Me by Vi Summers was a good book. It was fast paced following the crew while focusing on Gage and Lil. It is very well written and has great detail, however, personally I find this writing style harder to read. I normally look for books with a lot of dialogue AND descriptive detail that make you pause to think of the place. But there are so many people who will love the writing style of this book because it flows really well, honestly this is the style that I read while trying to get back into reading.
Despite not having my preferred style of writing, this story has a beautiful plot! Gage and Lil give us heart attack after heart attack trying to force themselves apart. But they are just so drawn to each other that we keep screaming at them to finally get over themselves! AHH It was a wonderfully thought-out plot making me want to throw my kindle at the wall multiple times!!

I walk into the room and their he is the past that I left behind and did not look back, but I have always had a soft spot for him but will he feel the same way.
Dahlia is living life but when a blast from her past walks in and they have to work together on a project can she be professional or will the anger from her past make it impossible to work, concentrate or even keep her heart in check.
Levi has never really got over her, she was his everything but he let her down and was not there when she needed him the most, what will happen when they have to put their difference behind them and work on this project. Can his heart survive?
I loved this story, it grabbed from the first words this couple is a lovely banter and chemistry which jumps off the page. I thought that the character of Dahlia was such a strong female character that knew who she was and was not willing to comprise her values. The character of Levi was a perfect character to enhance both characters.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I can’t wait to read other books in this series and by this author.

Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail by Samantha Shannon was wonderful! I personally don’t have kids, but I babysit a lot and have friends with kids so we try to keep books in the house for when they stop by or spend the night. The illustrations were perfect to keep the attention of kids, the message was heart- warming and kind, and the words weren’t the pee-wee words in some kids books.
Samantha uses words like mayhem and churning, which is one of the things I absolutely look for in books for kids! But she also tackles disability in an accepting way. But this book 100% rates 15 out of 5 because of the breakdown they give at the end! She walks us through steps to help lessen while still accepting our fears. Great book! Especially for new parents!! @karenmmarsh

I loved this story, this is the first book I have read by this author and the well developed characters and tense from the first word was thrilling and engaging with each chapter. It was great to see both of the main characters grow through the book and see each other through different eyes. This was a brilliant love story and I was willing these two characters together in the end.
I can’t wait to read more stories by this wonderful author.

I picked this book up, as first off all the cover of the book was very bright and caught my eyes. Then I saw it was a mystery regarding around gardening. I am a die hard gardener, and I love my cozy mysteries to read, so needless to say, I had to read this! I am so glad I did, and I really enjoyed this new author for me and novel! It was mystery with so many perks, it was a joy from beginning to end!
This novel starts off as atypical group just doing their usual. Anne is the lead character in this novel and is helping out with her garden club and talking to a specific member (the head of the club basically) Something was off about her though, Anne put off oh its an off day sort of thing, but was there more than meets the eye? How well did she really know the members of her garden club?
Day continues on, and basically shock time…the member is murdered in the most unusual way. It was not her health that did it, it was defiantly a murder. Major question was though was why? And what was the motive? Was this not just a garden club of women who all had shared interests? What skeletons are in these closets of this club? What would Anne find out if she went digging? How far would she have to dig?
I loved how the author wrote this story. It was a very easy read and fast paced. I wont lie I was quite invested in this group, due to my love of gardening and planting and taking care of my crops. Those things that got mentioned as I read was really awesome, it still pertained to the story, but also made the book what it was. Which was super fun to read and awesome read!
As I read on I learned rather quick that these members may very well have had something to hide…there were things unknown and things they or should I say all a certain someone wanted left unknow and not to be dug up. Sometimes what you bury will reach the surface though. If you dig enough, and the person did not bury deep enough, you might very well have something resurface you did not expect it.
Things flowed though more, and Anne has her relationship she had going really become more. And Anne was a great character, I really loved her and seeing her take charge in this mystery and her love life was great to see. It had its quirkiness and the feeling of dying to know what would happen. This garden had a lot to dig up, and once you did all made sense and tied together! It was a great read, I really enjoyed it!
This was a first time author for me, but I had a lot of fun and I defiantly will be recommending this novel to my fellow book worms, my garden friends, and those who are a bit of both. The writing was very well done and everything came together, and it was a quick fun read. I defiantly will be reading more by this wonderful author, so happy I discovered them! This is a treat I wouldn’t have had wanted to miss!

Dating the intern by Natalina Reis is such a fun and inviting read. It would be easy to read in one sitting as it draws you in and keeps you waiting to see what happens next! I laughed, I cried, I giggled like a little school girl. Ivory Tower is a successful businesswoman who runs a dating service. When a television appearance featuring her own love life is offered, she must quickly come up with a plan to make her nonexistent love life exist. Li Qiang, a much younger intern, offers to pose as her boyfriend. They must then get to know one another and make their fake relationship believable. This romantic comedy is a perfect book for anyone looking for a light and uplifting read!

Stripped is the first book in the Stripped series by Stacy-Deanne. The Stripped Series is a spin off from the Bruised Series. I had not read any of this author’s work before reading Stripped. I did feel that maybe I’d have got more out of this book if I had read the other series. I enjoyed the overall story with Dee being forced to work with new partner Connie who she doesn’t like (I’m assuming there is a story there from the previous series) on the case involving The Circle. I really enjoyed reading the interactions between Dee and The Circle cult leader, Johnathan. I was drawn into their story and really enjoyed reading about these two characters. I have to say though that I really didn’t get the relationship between Dee and her boyfriend Winston. Again, I’m assuming that there is more to their story from the previous story. Maybe if I had read that then I’d have a better insight into their relationship. Overall I did enjoy the book and I will read the remainder of the series as I want to know how this story pans out.

5-stars
I am the biggest fan of the Jake the Growling Dog series; each book is an absolute must read for children. As a mom to two little boys, I have read countless children’s books but this series takes the cake. The beautiful illustrations keep my kiddos entertained and they have so much to learn from the storyline. These stories have such beautiful messages and I’m so glad to share them with my children.

I have to first say thank you to my friends who introduce me to new authors. Without friends that love to read like I do there would be no new authors in my world. Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra is an incredible writer. Throughout this book I felt like I was in the middle of all of the action. Nick Larson and his partner Victor Sacco are detectives with the homicide unit. Their cases start with a suicide victim and then move on to homicides. Nick, and his infallible intuition, says that all of the cases are connected, even an old case could be part of this mess. Then add into this the love of Nick’s life, Laura and her sister who causes trauma whenever she can and you have to keep reading to see what is going to happen next. Nick, Victor, and Laura are wonderful characters, and all of the supporting characters keep you turning pages with laughter, questions, and so much reality.

Boy Released by J.D. Spero a fantastic four-star read. This one takes place a number of years after the first story Boy on Hold and tells just as a compelling story, dealing with mental health in an honest and refreshing manner, and it is best if you read that one first, as it gives you a deeper understanding and gets you used to the writing style, as the different POV’s can be challenging, but it does add something to the story, more than just the overall view, it adds more drama to me. This is a great story, and one that stays with you as you read.

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 2) had me hooked from the first sentence. Sylvia Black won me over with the first book in this series and she now has me totally hooked and waiting not so patiently for more.
This book truly has it all…Vampires, Witches, Shifters, Action, Hot Romance, Revenge and plenty of Drama along the way. The love and devotion between Christian and Delilah, their bond and need to love and protect each other is wonderfully written into these characters and shines through even while dealing with so much going on around them.
This series is truly not to be missed…get reading today!!

This book!!! Absolutely loved this book! I managed to read this book before the first book and will be fixing that ASAP! This book was pure perfection. C.R. Robertson knocked this book out of the park. Tasha and Levi are amazing characters and I could not get enough of them.

4Stars HER DARK LOVE (DARK SPELL SERIES Book 4) by ISRA SRAVENHEART
Her Dark Love is the fourth book in the Dark Spell Series by Isra Sravenheart. I was pulled in from the beginning and had a hard time putting it down till I finished. I do recommend reading the first three books in this series if you haven’t already started them as it will give you a better understanding of what is going on and help with the characters and their back story. Lady Irsa hasn’t always been on the dark side she once had a light side. She finds herself faced with having to go back to the light side before she finds herself having to stay in the dark side like everyone thinks. Find out what happens next in this absolute must read. It’s my favorite yet. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

This is a great YA book. I enjoyed this sequel and look forward to the next book in the series. There was a lot of action and excitement. The character’s really developed and grew throughout the book. Lucy is a strong character who handles all that is thrown at her fairly well for her age. This is definitely worth the read.

This book has been an experience for me. I haven’t read many Sci-fi Multiverse Space books, but let me tell you I was hooked in right away! The author takes such care building the characters up between book 1 & 2 that you can picture these three college friends (Matt, Julia, and Dan) joking around and poking fun at each other. He connects them in a way that shows you their friendship and how they handle their hardships together along their journey that it grabs you and you can’t wait to see who does what next! You don’t NEED to read book one before you read this book, BUT I really recommend reading it!!. Book one shows you so much about each character, their species, each of their journeys, and much of their training and abilities being learned and used throughout both books. I’m not going to spoil anything but I enjoyed all the details brought to life in this set. I can picture some of the scenes like they were on cavus. You can tell that the author really put time in building each character, the worlds and scenes, the spacecrafts and their technologies, and even the knowledge behind the teachings and meditations. Again I haven’t read many books of this type, so some of the space lingo I was new to, but I picked it up pretty fast and I’m so glad that I did. You will love this journey and the race to save the world and more. Will these college friends, with the help of others, save everyone in time? Will they survive all their trails along the way? Or will they fail and doom multiple worlds? Buckle up for a Journey through space and time!!

Journeys Through TimeSpace by James Talisman is exactly the ‘more’ that I wanted from book one of the series!! I was super excited to be able to see some of my favorite characters brought back and learn more about their past, present and future! This is a complex book that you will not be able to put down. I read this book twice! The amount of detail the author was able to give readers with stories that jump back and forth was risky but it truly paid off. It had me hooked. I cannot wait to read more from this author!
