OMG! She did it again!!! I just can’t get enough of these characters and their spellbinding story!!! This right here is pure paranormal perfection!! All the stars!!!!
Forbidden Mate is the exciting second instalment in The Shadow Chronicles by C.R Robertson. I devoured the first book and it immediately became my favourite read for the year, so to say I had high expectations for this book would be an understatement. I have been anticipating the release of this book and was sooooo excited when it finally landed on my Kindle five days ago. I shoved aside everything else that I had planned to read and plunged headfirst into the action. It only took me a few hours to read it, as I practically inhaled it. I got to the end and turned around and started it again- two more times- it was THAT GOOD!!!
This was more than I had hoped for- an incredibly riveting read that has taken my addiction to C.R Robertson’s work to a whole new high- but it’s an addiction I am happy to feed and have no intention of quitting any time, ever! To say I loved it is an understatement.
This is a fast-paced, action-packed, adrenaline fuelled, paranormal romance, with a complex, multi-layered, and addictive storyline. The story is incredible, with vampires, Lycans, demon hellspawn, witches, sizzling chemistry, politics, agendas, drama, danger, secrets, paranormal beings, battle scenes, violence, adventure, sizzling encounters, fated mates, and even higher stakes than the first book. Again, I love Ms. Robertson’s take on Vampire and Lycan lore, she really does know how to tell a very compelling and exciting story.
As this story continues on from where Book One left off, I really recommend reading Forbidden Wolf before starting on this one. Trust me, you will want to know what happens there before continuing the adventure. I am seriously on tenterhooks for the release of book three, Forbidden Moon, which I am anticipating will be quite a bittersweet read, as I really want to continue this series but I have just discovered that it will be the conclusion to Tasha and Levi’s story, and I’m not sure I am ready to say goodbye.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING!!! Seriously, if you love fantasy, paranormal romance, or just love being immersed in a spellbinding adventure- then you will really want to get your hands on this book/series, STAT! You really won’t be disappointed! But prepared for the massive heat wave and addiction that comes with it!!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, C.R Robertson!

Cursed Touch (Broderick Coven, #4)Cursed Touch by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

AJ Renee has really brought this wonderful world to life with vivid imagery that makes the reading experience so much fun that I just want to jump into my book Mary Poppins style while reading these Broderick Coven books. Cursed Touch is the fourth book in the series and they just keep getting better and better. I really enjoyed Vanessa and Carters story and revisiting a few other characters that I had seen in other books as well as some new supporting ones. If you love magic and mystery with adventure and details that make you feel immersed in the world you are reading, these are the books for you and you will want to one-click them all today! I can’t wait to see what we will get in the next book!

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman – Review by Nicole Elizabeth

Journeys Through SpaceTimeJourneys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book took me roughly 2 weeks to read and I really did enjoy the overall story and diverse worlds and characters portrayed. The MultiVerse in this book encompassed stories from some interesting and very diverse worlds including but not limited to reptilian humanoids set on destruction, unlikely human heroes and celestial beings with concepts based on real physics and ideology w/ the fantastic twist we all love from a good sci-fi novel.

I found the characters to be sincerely likeable and relatable which is a feat seeing as most of the worlds are very diverse from our own reality. Strangely enough, the characters I had the hardest time getting behind and liking were the Earth characters. They seemed too formal and rigid for modern day college kids. The relationship between Matt and Julia (how many times can two people say the word ‘babe’ – too many!) just seemed overly formal and forced.

I enjoyed how the many worlds and scenarios all connect on some level and the ending was a good one, which is really important to me. I look forward to reading the next book in this series and expect I’ll enjoy that one just as much. Really interested to see how it all shakes out and what the culmination of the myriad of stories will look like.

I’d rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. The stories were great, it’s just the rigid Earthlings that threw it off a little for me. I’d recommend this book to anyone looking for a good quick sci-fi read that’s multifaceted and complex but still allows for easy and enjoyable reading. I would recommend getting to know the characters a bit ahead of time. The author does a great job of providing lists of the worlds and characters at the beginning of the book which is super helpful because it can get confusing if you just jump right in without a good overview of what it is you’re diving into.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in this series and what a great start it is. This is a young adult story that I enjoyed and look forward to reading the next book. This is a well written fantasy story where sleeping is dangerous. Alex and her sister lose their mother and have to move in with a grandmother they hardly know. She also has a roommate that is really odd. As things move on, things get stranger and stranger. A place where nightmares are dangerous and full of magic and fantasy. What will happen when Alex realizes that her family may not be who she thought and how important is destiny to her. They are great characters that bring the story to life. They are connectable and made the story fun and easy to read. I found this to be a fast paced story that was entertaining and engaging. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

This is a series that I have read from the beginning. It is a fun series about a dog, Jake and his adventures. They are fun stories that have great graphics that add to the story. This book is no different but I would highly suggest reading the previous books as well. In this book Jake and his favorite trail. But he has some worries about it and has trouble sleeping because of it. His friends come over and decide not to let him worry by himself. Will they be able to help him so that he can have fun on his favorite trail? I really enjoy the characters in this story. Jake’s best friend Neet is a great supporting character. This is just a fun story that is great for all ages of children. It is interactive and has a meaning behind it. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve read previous books by this same author in this series and I’m happy to have a backstory on Lady Isra. Through reading this one, I hate the turn it takes as these characters become enthralled in a love triangle like no other. The drama is intense and worth reading about but as the light and dark squabble over Isra, it becomes more intensifying than we thought. The fact that this sends you on a plane with her, you’ll feel shuffled but this story needs to be told if you’re invested as I was through the series. I don’t want to give it away but I’m sure you’re gonna see what I mean.

Like Cynthia Hamilton’s books of this series, this will keep you on the edge of your seat. I was consumed in this book from start to finish with two stories in one for me. The story with Russell Barnett took on a life of its own as did the other storyline with Cat Kingman. These stories within this book will keep you on the edge! Take a dive down the rabbit hole and enjoy what this has to offer. You won’t be disappointed.

Houses of Deception (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 6)Houses of Deception by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lies, deception, fraud, treachery…Oh, what a web has been created around two cases that Madeline and Mike are working. One lies around kidnapping and one lies around missing persons. The suspense is set up in such a way that it goes back and forth between cases: yet, intertwined so well that it just meshes like it’s a river. The white boards used to plot out cases. They end up working out cases but they also have law enforcement at their six. The characters are such that you just end up trying to figure out why they did what they did. All the characters end up just meshing together. Their personalities are like a piece of the puzzle and they each have a spot to fill. Running a catering company and a private investigation firm together seemed difficult but Madeline and Mike made it work with the help of Lauren and Samir. This was a fantastic mystery. Highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Carter is one of the 7 Broderick siblings. Vanessa is a talented jewelry maker with her own shop. They meet when Vanessa helps a neighbour get to the hospital where Carter just happens to be consulting and runs into her. Sparks fly when they meet (literally!). I love both characters and think they are really good together.

I enjoyed this book. I liked that despite the fact that they were fated mated, neither Vanessa nor Carter took that for granted. Vanessa didn’t let Carter get away with anything, and Carter tried to get to know Vanessa for who she was and tried to build a real relationship instead of assuming fated meant easy.

I have not read the other books in this series, and I think I will go back and read them as the other characters and their stories intrigued me. I also feel like I would understand a bit more if I had read the other books first… I did feel like I was missing some background information. Despite that, you can still enjoy this book as a standalone.

This is a beautifully written story made for children. I read the story to my 6 year old son and he really enjoyed it as well. It’s a story of friendship and about facing things that scare you . With his friends joining him for company he’s looking for the cause of his fear and facing it head on. What they find is a new friend with a disability. It was beautiful how the author managed to get the point across that even though the dog with the disability looked different and that could be seen as scary in reality they were just like us.

The author writes  it in a way that is easy to understand  and follow by all ages and the rhyming makes the read enjoyable and easy for younger children.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love how relatable I can see myself in Lark (the main character) but the sensational journey their love sends us down in this book will leave your heart racing but in a good way. I love the way this author returns both characters back into one another’s life with their history: The fact they’re reunited with another couple’s union is powerful in its own right. A love story within another one is great reading, to me, the sucker for romance. The chemistry within their body language described in the story speaks to exactly what draws me into these characters. Their bodies speak more than they actually do to draw them near. I have been pulling for them to rekindle and also for them to give one another a second chance. This story goes in depth on connecting these two. Pick up your copy and enjoy this read!

My daughter and I loved reading this story for our homeschool study! She loved being able to point out the different critters along the trail. I enjoyed how much the story was covered throughout. It gave me chances to stop and talk to my daughter about the different feelings that Jake was dealing with. The artwork is beautiful throughout the story!! It was such a cute story and I definitely recommend reading it. For adults and children alike; we can all learn from Jake and his friends.

This story flowed along so nicely I didn’t even realize I was getting to the end of the story. I loved meeting these two and watching them reconnect. They made me laugh and smile at their antics. Then when Hunter upped the ante and decided to start swooning her…I couldn’t stop reading.

The secondary characters are a treat! I enjoyed her sisters then there was Hunter’s BFF, who happens to be the groom. Their little heart to heart talk made my day!

Overall this is a wonderful story that really kept my interest. There is stress and good times as well as a few surprises. This is a first time author for me and I will be keeping my eye our for more from her.

I fell into this series by accident and not realizing I had started reading book three first, ‘Cursed Whispers’, which is about Claudia and Max. ‘Cursed Touch’ is the fourth book in the Broderick Coven series and is about Max’s younger brother, Carter and Vanessa.
I love reading about the slow build between Carter and Vanessa. I never could really figure them out, which is why the build was that much more intense and exciting to read. The story is also fast paced and has enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes!
This really is a good read!

I absolutely LOVED this book. Three siblings, Charlotte (Charlie), Jade & Dane; all work in highly demanding, public service occupations. Charlie, the main character, is a trauma nurse that is highly fulfilled in her job, but not in her love life. After a broken engagement, she moves back home to reconnect with her high school crush & brother’s best friend, Tank. Obstacles persist and trials develop. Can they overcome the past and connect as adults in a meaningful way?? The characters are deep and rich with integrity. An easy read that will keep you engaged until the very last page! I look forward to more books about the siblings!

Will they be able to crush the plans and save the world as we know it? you will have to find out.

This is the second book in this series and does not disappoint, this books picks straight from the first book and looks at trying to stop the plans which are due to take place. Each earth student needs to go to their different realms to try and help to save the multi realities. Can they stop the plans and be successful in their journeys, you will have to read to find out.

This story is full of thrilling and twists and will have you drawn in from the first words on the page. I would recommend reading the first book as there is a lot information which if you are coming into fresh into this book may have you a tough time following but stay with them as it is a brilliant ride in your imagination.

This is not my usual genre to read but the author has built a world of pure imagination and what ifs that has you engaged from the beginning, I have to say as in the first book there is a lot of information to digest but this only enhances the story and the characters within the story.

Can’t wait to read more.

Sweet little cat-themed mystery
This was a super-cute cozy mystery based in a cat cafe. Absolutely adored the cats especially Templeton. There were moments where I felt the story lost momentum due to getting caught up on the descriptions of the cafe and cat accessories but these were few and far between. The characters all had their amusing moments. A quirky, fun read with a dash of romance that will keep you entertained until the end.

Stripped (The Stripped Series Book 1) by Stacy-Deanne is a romantic suspense story. It is full of intrigue, murder, and mayhem. I had trouble fully connecting to some of the characters. Being a spin off series I really should have started with the original series Bruised first. It would have rounded the characters out more and would have given me a better in sight to them. Some things were a little predictable but overall, it was an interesting and enjoyable read.

I look forward to reading more from Stacy-Deanne.

Samantha Shannon is a best-selling author and licensed educational counselor who uses her background in education, love for nature and animals, and experience aiding in the emotional social development of children to create fun and impactful books. Samantha has also published multiple books under her pen name, Parker Sinclair, in the fantasy and YA genres.

Samantha’s love for creatures great and small has led her to incorporate animals in all of the books, from eagles to cheetahs! Throughout her life, Samantha’s family has always included a dog, and they’ve always been more than pets. They were fur-brothers, sisters, and babies.

When Samantha had her first child in 2009, she wanted to write a picture book based on her sister’s dog, Jake. While visiting her sister in the Pacific Northwest, Samantha realized that Jake growled all the time. He growled while playing frisbee, getting an ear rub, running, and even when he was sleeping! Despite his unusual choice of noisemaking, Jake is a sweet dog, which makes him the perfect character for a children’s picture book.

With Samantha’s background in educational counseling, Jake’s first story includes a character education & loving-kindness activity for families, schools, & counselors. Jake’s story speaks to all of us about accepting, and appreciating, the differences in others–both caring attitudes we need in our diverse and beautiful world.

Hieronymus had a rather idyllic childhood, growing up in the woods of West Virginia. He spent most of his time outside as a kid, playing sports usually, basketball, whiffle-ball, and a lot of two-hand touch football, among many other things. He loved to draw and read, science fiction mostly, when he wasn’t playing sports or board games.

He graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy with a degree in Economics, then went on to a thirty-year career as an Air Force pilot, where he got to travel all over the globe.

He was married for twenty-eight years before losing his wife to breast cancer, but he is the father of four grown children.

In June of 2015 he completed an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University. It took him a long time to figure out what he wanted to be when he grew up. Effacement is his debut novel.

When he’s not writing, he is probably listening to music, reading, or surfing the web. He also draws in pencil and pastel chalk and enjoys a good poker game.

This book picks up where book 1 left off. I usually don’t say this very often, but book 2 was better than the first one! Getting to understand our main characters and see more of their backstories gives them more depth. I had so much fun seeing James’s version of Atlantis, and going through time was a fun experience! A lot of things were happening but you can easily follow along and not get confused. I can’t wait to see what journey he takes us on next!!

The precinct is overrun with the flu and because of that, everyone is working extra hours. Detective Larson is assigned to a suicide call but upon arrival something seems off. To him it looks more like a homicide than a suicide. Then more “suicides” keep popping up. Something is seriously wrong here and Detective Larson can only hope they are not dealing with a serial killer on the loose.

Stripped (Stripped Book 1) by Stacy-Deanne – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Stripped (The Stripped Series Book 1)Stripped by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stripped is book one in the Stripped series by Stacy-Deanne. There was a lot happening in this story, and at times I was a little lost. Stripped is the first book I have read from this author. I found the writing to be fast paced, energetic and full of, well everything. There was suspense, drama, interesting yet mysterious characters, and more than I have time to mention. The characters mostly were relatable. Some I Liked, some not so much. But all that aside, the story was well written, easy to escape into, and kept the interest and intensity at top level all the way through. A well thought out romantic suspense that was loaded with excitement and spirit. 4 stars.

Bared. (A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Jessica Leombruno

Bared. (Green St. Girls #1)Bared. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bared by N.D. Jackson was full of friendship and so many feelings that I was overwhelmed with emotions. I am still new to this author (only my 2nd book) but her writing has a way of pulling you in with wonderful characters and her attention to details in her storytelling. I felt there were two relationships in the spotlight – Tru and Athena and the girls of Green Street (I want the Green Street Girls to be my friends!). Bared broke my heart and then had me crying as I put it back together. I can’t wait for the other Green St Girls to find their HEAs. Remember to live your life!

This story continues 10 years later, with Ty coming home after years in rehabilitation. Here you will read how this family stands together. How they are coming to terms with mental illness and how they are building a stronger family. Hen is almost 18 now and has a large inheritance coming his way.

J. D. Spero does not disappoint in this the second book of the Boy Series. This story felt real as we all have people we know, fighting similar situations. This story is through and fast paced. I could not put it down. I enjoyed book 1 and looked forward to this one. I experienced many emotions while reading the story of Ty and Hens. I love how she made the characters come to life in the story. Well Done J. D. Spero! Well Done!

Cursed Touch (Broderick Coven, #4)Cursed Touch by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cursed Touch is the fourth book in a series and a paranormal romance. I have to admit that this is the first book that I have read by this author, and I absolutely fell in love with it! I cannot wait to read more in this series. It was easy to pick up and read as a stand alone as well. The story line follows the brother, Carter, as he finds loves in the place that he lasted expected; the ER where he works. He can’t stop thinking about her from there. And fate finds them together again.

I love how the author, A.J. Renee, weaves you into this tale of fantasy with witches, magic, and supernatural abilities. I lost myself in the world of these two characters as they learn their place in this world and with each other. The details that Renee spins into this story line are amazing! I feel like I am getting to watch this unfold in front of my eyes! What a great book!
