Being dead sure comes with it’s share of surprises, including two new links. One to Mortal Raef in the Overworld, and the second to Grey-Don of the Underworld. The very man she kissed to seal a deal in order to save her brother’s life in exchange for her own. Vanessa’s soul has apparently been sent to Elysium, and there Vanessa will unmask the enemy who has been focused on destroying her. On the way she will also make many new and strange friends. As someone who supports ‘non-traditional relationships’, it was extremely refreshing to read a book that centered around relationships that are defined by how much love you have within you to give. I enjoyed this book more than its predecessor, which is hard to believe because that was an extremely enjoyable read as well. I can’t wait to her next book in the series!

While this is the third book in the Heron Harbor series by Lea Nolan, Hold Me Forever is the first book I’ve read by this author in general. I am usually the kind of reader that NEEDS to start from the beginning if I know a book is part of a series, even if it is a standalone. When I stumbled across the synopsis though, I was really interested in the storyline and less concerned with not knowing any potential background on any of the characters. Fortunately, the book did not disappoint. With characters that you can’t help but love and a home feel, this book is the perfect summer read. I like the chemistry between Lark and Hunter but also LOVED that this book involved family, especially sisters as I have two of my own. I love a fun, lighthearted story that makes you feel like you’re at home, Hold Me Forever did that for me early on. I will really be going back to read the first two installments of this series. Lea Nolan is definitely an author I want to read more of. I would give this book 4/5 stars.

This is the story of Athena, one of the Green Street girls. She lives her life on her own terms and in her own way with the support of her girls. That is until she meets Tru, a pro pool player with a past of his own. Can Tru break through her walls? I enjoyed the characters so much. Athena has so many layers to be revealed. She is so much more than meets the eye.

(A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Michelle Collier
I stayed up – until 3am to finish this book and there are ZERO regrets. We follow Tru and Athena who just so happen meet in a pub that Athena owned. Of course, with a name like Athena she was totally a goddess – and she looked like one as well. The book goes through the hardships of Tru and Athenas lives pre and post meeting. And let me tell you. It is AMAZING. This is the perfect romance book. Their chemistry is amazing – and let me not forget to mention that Athena and I are way to similar for comfort. I would actually bake the author a whole cake for a “sister” story on Gwyn & Indigo because I KNOW those stories would be amazing too. If you want an all around feel good romance, this is for you!

Note: I warn that anyone suffering from any type of abuse may find some scenes in the book hard to stomach and be triggered. There is a mystery of woman being kidnapped and all evidence points to the vampire community. The leader of the vampires has worked centuries to establish human trust and does not wish to lose that trust. Enter in the saucy and strong willed female investigator. She is sent to go undercover and solve the mystery. Then everything goes awry. Needless to say, the magical powers of the vampires are pretty nifty and they can really pack a punch. I could really do without the heroine being made to be subservient. I liked her better when she was strong willed and stubborn. I guess we will see where the next book takes us. If you are into vampires and BDSM, then I guess this would be your type of book. It was a quick read, and kept me interested, so I will give it that. I enjoy a good romance and mystery, but the “Master/Servant” stuff was a bit much for me.
Thank you Sylvia Black for adding more sexy vampires to our lives!

Where do I begin? I absolutely adored this book! It was a light, a little cheesy (in the best way!!!) and engaging read. First off, as a proud cat lady, I really appreciated the lengths that Ellie went through for the cats that reside at her cafe. The idea of running a cat cafe that also provides adoption opportunities for these cats is a huge win for me. I would definitely patronize that business and be a part of that. Great premise.
I thought that the mystery of the plot was good. There were, however, parts of the story that I felt became much, were not necessary or confusing to the overall plot but I did like the way it ended.
I thought the naming of her cat, Templeton was very clever. He was an absolute star in this book. I definitely would read more mysteries in the Kitty Beret Cafe series.
Dangerous Curves Boxed Set #1 (Dangerous Curves Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery . This is a great boxed set. Its the story of Sunshine Baker the town librarian and her quest to find the money that was stolen from the Library’s annual fundraiser. She and her friends end up in the middle of a mystery. Book 2 is Mystery at the Marina and its about Sunshine and her friends trying to find out what is causing all kinds of sea life to wash up dead on the shore and the 3rd book is Shooting at the Shore which is about Willa Bruce Monroe’s death who was very much against the new development that is coming to town. Sunshine and her friends once again are racing against the clock to find out who is guilty. This is a fun, clean, murder mystery set that will keep you reading til you are finished!
Hanging Softly in the Night: A Detective Nick Larson Novel by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra is a detailed story that you won’t be able to put down. The author has created a complex story that weaves together so well. There is a lot going on in this book and I felt like I definitely had to focus on it to keep all the different storylines together. But I loved the way they all developed and how the author handled them all so easily. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was seriously impressed. It was well written, intriguing and a gripping tale. I was pulled into the characters and into everything going on. This is the kind of book I didn’t want to end. This is brilliant book and a great new author to explore.

Hartman – Review by Kerry Carr
Oh my stars! I would give this book higher than 5 stars if I could. Erin and Ripper’s story just got me in the feels. They meet at the Free Clinic where she is a nurse. He has been stabbed in an altercation. He’s part of the Diamonds (a gang of older members). The chemistry is there from the start. Through a series of misadventures, a friendship/romance builds. Shock is there when they find that Erin’s stepfather is an important leader in the Diamonds but Erin stands up for herself. There is; some trouble brewing at the wharf which brings physical harm to all, including Erin. These two get through it all with courage, strength (even after important history is shared).I didn’t see that ending coming. The author did a tremendous job with this story. She also left it with a cliffhanger that will leave you eagerly awaiting book 2! The characters have flair and personality, Jay and Sebastian are like sassy hoodlums. Erin’s boss feels like any boss you may have had, stern and needs to chill. The neighborhood made think of the bays you see in the movies. Overall, a book you have to read if you like an action-packed romance.

After reading the second installment of this series, I am just as impressed as I was with the first book! The plot is face paced and continues to build toward what I expect will be an epic conclusion.
The relationship between Lucy, Marcus and Dylan continue to become more and more intertwined. As Marcus’ past comes back to stare them all in the face, there are new characters and new twists introduced. I couldn’t help but to become more and more pulled in to the book as more secrets are uncovered!
Definitely looking forward to reading the last book in this series and seeing how the author wraps it all up! Although, secretly, I am hoping that there are spin-offs of other characters!

A story that hits you right in the heart! 2 people at the end of their ropes finding each other in the most crazy way!

I am in LOVE with this series. So many twists and turns and I adore the dynamic between Tausha & Levi. The war with the hellspawn takes a VERY interesting turn, not to mention a complication courtesy of Castus! So engaging and entertaining you won’t want to put it down. Vampires and Lycans and hellspawn, oh my!!

I was a great fan of the previous novel in the series, so needless to say I was super excited to read this installment. And seriously the first one was amazing, but this one did wonders just as much if not more! I was a die hard Twilight series fan in my teen years, but this one for me is even better of a paranormal teen series. I am getting great enjoyment from the series and watching Lucy grow and progress for her great destiny and learning more truth on who and what she is destined for.
The book takes off with our main characters trying to live life as their suppose to. Lucy and Jude have more a relationship than they used to, and Lucy is learning more about the truth of herself. I enjoyed seeing the father and daughter things with them grow and prosper. Though Lucy does not take his word lightly, and personally I do not blame her. Still, Jude is trying his best to earn his trust. In truth though, is there hidden reasons for why Jude is really needing and wanting his daughter’s love so bad or is there more things underneath myself as the reader am not aware of yet? I felt as reading though, it probably is just a hunch, but Jude may be knowing something he isn’t letting on? I could easily be way off.
And still I stand as Team Marcus. Marcus is a sweetheart, he may not be a ride or die bad boy as Dylan is. I enjoy their fondness for one another. Things take a unsuspected turn to say the least when the father of Marcus appears out out of the blue. Instantly I had trust issues. I was right. He had different goals then we would have thought as well as making sure Lucy is gone from this earth as to reason of her being Jude’s daughter. His name of Garett. And his intentions were not truth as I mentioned, but truly set off a new course of events. Still, I enjoyed bringing him into this series. As I feel his introduction will set off a curve for the next installments in the series.
As things progress things get much harder Lucy. Things she believes in, as well as the words of those she cares about, becomes all too questionable. She had already been going through a lot, she needed her friends close for guidance as well as her protection, but when you cant even be sure of your own instinct of whom is deserving of your trust what is a girl to do?
Things take an expected turn towards a battle with Garett. This was a well written scene and lot of things happened. The light perhaps sort to say was seen at the end of the tunnel, or a realistic point with the battle with Garrett I know for a fact more questions may arise in the next novel, and I truly can not wait to read it. A girl has her Gargoyle and her Demon. With that said, with danger pretty much at every turn and constantly checking your back, are they really enough protect her? Or will they be her downfall?
I loved this book installment with a passion The author, she truly is a marvelous author. I am truly hooked on this series. I can not get my hands on the next book fast enough. Her writing always brings so much to the table. She wrote a wonderful first book in this series, and did wonders with this one. More with the dangers, the story line, what Lucy is destined for, as well new characters through out this novel that you really want to know more about. I also enjoyed reading of the characters of the previous book and seeing their growth a this one started up up until the final page.
Highly recommend this book and this series in general. Its interesting to say the least. It has great action and danger as well as character development which is very well done. All in all, its great series to lose yourself into. Trust me, I am not be part gargoyle, or demon, ( at least I don’t think so) but this book has an aspect for everyone to enjoy who reads it! Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!

Magical romance Loved Carter and Vanessa’s story and had me turning the pages well after bedtime. Each of the books in this series is a worthy read and some favourite Broderick (or soon to be) characters make appearances. AJ Renee has a really great writing style that allows the reader to create their own imagery, with wonderful characterisation and world building. This was a brilliant quick-read with magic, mayhem, mystery and mates – definitely not one to miss.

A café, cute cats, and a murder mystery. I think I was in love when I came across this book! I am a person who defiantly supports animals and finding forever homes for them as well and I do love my cozy murder mysteries so of course I had to pick this one up and give it a read. I am so glad I did!
The story is around our wonderful protagonist named Ellie. Whom is a total sweetheart and really loves cats and ensuring the welfares of their health. She runs an amazing café named Kitty Beret Café (Personally I would love to visit this place in real life) where cats free roam while customers enjoy kitty inspired drinks. Everything in the café is cat related and I found truly fun and humorous to read. I must admit reading those words of the names of the drinks made my heart smile more than once.
Everything seems so blissful for Ellie and her fur babies. Well, that is until anyway when an elderly lady who walks in has many complaints about the beautiful cats free roaming. She immediately was a character you strongly dislike. Not long after her scene she made about cursing out poor Ellie, she was found well murdered.
By whom was the true mystery that needed to unfold? Who would have motive and reason to kill her aside from her bashing a café so many people knew and loved. Worst of all Ellie is at risk of losing her café because she seems to have the motive. Ellie wasn’t going to stop for this and she would have to rely on the instinct of her felines to help her! Especially her special one, he was very intelligent and he proved to be a wonderful side character and aided to the case very well. There was more characters introduced and I enjoyed them just as much. The detective (needless to say) was a character fun to imagine and easily could fall for as a reader. One thing was clear someone was out to get Ellie, but why and who? That is the mystery my dear friends and you will have to read to find out!
There was a lot things Ellie and her cats had to figure out. I loved how the author emphasized a lot on the cats The costumes, their habits, I really had fun reading that. It was a cozy mystery right up my alley. How could I not love this book? I also loved how this book kept be going there was quite a possibly list of people who could have murdered the lady who had the outburst. It kept me guessing as I read through and to be honest I was wrong with my guess in the end haha!
This was a delightful read and I truly enjoyed it. I never had read a book by this author, but from my love of this book, I can honestly say for a fact that I will. I am so glad I discovered this book and had a fun heartsome read as I read through. It had treats for the reader, as well as the cats. Highly recommend!

Hartman – Review by Lorrene Huisman
It was nice to see where everyone is many years later but I really wasn’t expecting a second book. I really enjoyed Hen and was shocked over Tyler in the first book. In this story it was nice to see the changes in both of these boys as they both come to terms with their are new living situation and lives. The story does provide a lot of thought-provoking ideas.
Overall it was an OK book. I really felt it dwelled a lot on Tyler and it was more written for him and how he is coping with life. Then a little of Hen’s stalled life and their mother’s changes. The story seemed slow at times for me. I did enjoy how a lot of things came full circle and each character was giving a difficult task or challenge to overcome.

This was such a great read had me hooked and an excellent first edition to the series. It is about 4 girl friends who have had to fend for themselves and support eachother. But book 1 is mainly about Athena. The last thing she wants or needs is to fall in love but then comes along Tru and she can’t seem to stay away from him. He pushes her buttons and makes her feel alive again. They have great sexual chemistry and they continue to winde each other up yet they both grow to realise that they would actually be amazing together.

There’s a common expression I remind myself of every day: that which does not kill us, makes us stronger.
People think I live an idyllic life with my perfect husband, but they don’t know what lies beneath the façade.
Like the delicate petals of the daisies he loved to give, I was easily crushed—broken, just as he wanted me to be.
I’ve learned to accept what is, but I won’t let it destroy me.
Instead, I do the only thing I can to survive—I run.

I knew she had a story. I knew it most likely contained violence, but never did I imagine the horrors she’d been though.
I’d waited so long and she’d experienced so much. She was perfectly imperfect, her scars more than skin deep.
It was near impossible to separate truths from lies, but I knew her secret. Yet, I couldn’t help wanting to get closer. She was strong, and there was beauty in strength.
I was drawn to it—drawn to her.
I wanted to erase her horrors and give her something new to dream about.

Dire’s Club by Kimberly Packard is such an original and quite compelling read. I have loved all her previous books- and even though this story is quite different from the rest, I enjoyed it just as much, if not more, than her other works. This is a story about facing death, a topic that could be quite heavy and depressing. But this story manages to make this otherwise depressing topic take a more inspiring, moving, and beautiful tone that really made me sit up and take notice. It is an adventure- where we follow a group of people as they embark on an experience of a lifetime while fulfilling a ‘bucket list’ wish and embracing ‘life’ to the fullest before death comes knocking. This is all about friendships, secrets, adventure, emotion, facing your mortality, making you think, inspiring, terminal illness, mental illness- all with some unexpected twists and surprising developments that turn up the intrigue to maximum. The story really made me evaluate my own life and take stock of what I would like to tick off my list before I ‘go’… This book might seem like it is about mortality, death and dying- but I feel it is more about life- really embracing life, enjoying your life, and “living like your life depends on it”… A really beautiful and memorable story that I won’t soon forget!

Vanessa Mann was whisked away to the Underworld when she made a deal with the Don of the Underworld to save her brother’s life from cancer. Covered is god dust from Cupid, or Aroz’s arrow, Vanessa hasn’t succumbed to the love dust because the first person she can in contact with was Grey.
The Underworld is a dreary grey place…literally nothing has color. Until Aroz shows Vanessa that she can pull the color out of objects and return them to their color. Vanessa does this with her favorite coat.
On the day after her arrival, there is a chomping sound coming from the couch. The fuzzy little thing keeps telling her “I’m yours!” After some research, Vanessa realizes it is a caterpillar. And it stays hungry…eating anything in its path.
With Gordonita, the magic mirror’s reassurance, Vanessa decides to try to go out into the city of Elysium. She then finds out that she can’t pay the fee and is stuck in Grey’s penthouse. She learns a much more important piece of information with the arrival of the ferryman, Charles.
The Judges put Vanessa in Grey’s penthouse. What is her purpose for being there? And if she can achieve her purpose will they let her return to the Overworld?
