Please excuse me while I go grab book two!!……. This book is so amazing! The way the author builds up his characters is wonderful. You can envision this unfolding! I didn’t want to put it down once I got into it. Definitely a page turner here!! I haven’t read many sci-fi type books, but I really enjoyed this one. Traveling through space time, meeting each character, and following along while their adventures unfold was very entertaining. I would definitely recommend this book to sci-fi lovers!!

Boy on HoldBoy on Hold by J.D. Spero
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was my first by J. D. Spero and I look forward to more. It is a story about a 7 year old boy who just wants to catch a hedgehog to keep as a pet. Henry, or Hen as everyone calls him, sees a serious attack on his friend and neighbor Miss Sally, and then tries to figure out what is going on in his little world.

This begins a scary time for the whole family, Tyler, the big brother with some mental health issues, and his mom Marcella.

Marcella Trout doesn’t know what to do, her seventeen-year-old son has been arrested and she can’t help but worry that his recent mood swings are something more serious.
I love Hen, and the relationship he has with his brother is very heartwarming. This story really moves along nicely and becomes more than you thought it would with every turn of a page.

BOY RELEASED (BOY SERIES BOOK 2) by JD Spero

4 Stars

This book takes place many years after book 1. I enjoyed this one as much as the first one, but again got a bit confused in some places. This had everything you want in this genre. The mystery aspect was spot on, and I never knew what was going to happen next. I truly need to go back and reread book 1 and then read this one again. I love the storyline and I love the writing style. I felt like I had a good grasp on the characters and this author handled the mental illness aspect beautifully in my opinion.

I don’t recommend reading this one without reading the first, although this author did a great job bringing me back into the story, I still felt like reading the first was essential for me.

I will absolutely read more from this author and truly can’t wait to reread both of these books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This mafia romance had me feeling so many things!! This is my first Emily Bowie book and I learned that she is a great writer. This is a story about how a mafia princess secretly falls in love with an enemy. The book takes you through the ups and downs and difficulty love can bring when it is forbidden. Throughout the book, my emotions went on a roller coaster from anger to curiosity to steamy to heartache and to love. I literally was oohing, aahhing, smiling, and crying throughout. The way she uses description had me in the mix of this mafia family. She made it suspenseful, surprising, a happy ending that didn’t come easily, and left me wanting to read the rest of her series!! It was one of those books that when I went to bed last night I dreamt about the book because I was sad it was over!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such an emotional  read. It follows on from the book Boy on Hold and I really recommend reading that one first so you get the full impact of this story.

It’s 10 years since Ty was convicted of murder and sent to a psychiatric institution. Now he’s back with his family and even though things seem to be improving for the family there is a dark cloud ahead.

When Ty’s mum is attacked in the hotel that they own Ty is the only witness to the attack. However, the wrong choice of words at the wrong time sees Ty go from witness to suspect and with his past conviction he is the most likely suspect.
His mother however knows this isn’t the case and now the family needs to fight yet again to stop Ty getting convicted for another crime. This one he didn’t commit. However you can sense and feel the doubt of his innocence from his brother Hen and the boyfriend of his mum. After all if Ty could commit murder why couldn’t he be responsible for this attack?

It is an amazing read and the author does a great job of handling the sensitive subject of mental illness and how having a mental illness cause automatically label you. The rollercoaster Ty goes on with his mental health is really interesting to go through but also to see and feel the effect it has on his family shows you that mental healthy doesn’t just affect the person with the illness.

Bailey Richards is young, sweet, and on the verge of dipping his feet into a mild kink. He goes to the adult store once a week to visit the unicorn tail that he has fallen in love with and is just itching to buy. Bailey can’t walk to the back of the store without tripping over something, knocking something over, or embarrassing himself completely.
Sam Thurston owns the adult store. Bailey caught his eye; he knows Bailey is old enough to be in the store as he checked his ID. Sam happens to stop at a diner for lunch and it just happens to be where Bailey works. Sam asks Bailey out and Bailey just can’t understand why Sam would want to go out with him. With Sam’s encouragement and help from the “brat brigade” Bailey not only finds friends, a lover, but more importantly; himself.
I enjoyed all the characters in the book, the “brat brigade” is such a mix of personalities yet they fit so well together. Sam and Bailey each have their own insecurities but find themselves blossoming under the care of each other.

She pulls into town with Minnie, her RV, and Minnie promptly dies. The police officer that was driving by, turns around and comes back.

The universe throws Lark and Hunter together for the span of her time in Heron Harbor. They both still feel the love for each other that they did six years earlier. Can they get over the past hurts to find that love again?
I love Lark, such a free spirit and black sheep of the family.

This was such a wonderful love story, with truths about how our family and what they say/tell us can alter how we feel about ourselves.

Finders Reapers (New Orleans Nocturnes) AUDIO BOOK by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Tamisha Janay

/0 Comments/in , /by

This was my first book by Carrie Pulkinen and my VERY first time listening to a book rather than reading it. I am content with the audio version but tend to create different voices in my head when I read. It threw me off a bit that this book would have normally taken at least half the time to read, but it helped allow me to do other things while I got to submerge myself into a paranormal-filled world. The story itself was great, the narration was well-done, and the characters’ dialogue made me laugh out loud a few times. I never knew that a reaper would want to take a vacation, nor that doing so could create such a great narrative. I loved both main characters and hope to see more of them in future books right after I go back and read the ones I missed so far!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boy on Hold by JD Spero is a captivating book that reels you in from the first chapter. A seven year old Hen sets out to find himself a pet hedgehog in the middle of the night, but not just any night as it was cabbage night. A night of tradition pranks. One prank gone drastically wrong next door to the Trout family while Hen is outside making him the only witness. The story revolves around this crime that has taken place. Hen’s older brother Tyler is arrested and his mother Marcella shocked. As a single mother working hard to raise her boys this is a blindside. It couldn’t be her son. Told in different points of view you gain a true connection to each character from little innocent Hen to hard-working loving mother Marcella and to the mental illness plaguing Tyler. As the tale unfolds will the truth come out on who done the crime so foul?

Hmmm..I really enjoyed the heck out of this story. I guess I just wanted completion of it. It seems to have ended kinda up in the air. I enjoyed meeting Hamersveld and Fen. Very interesting and intriguing idea from them. I want to know more! Do all dragons have a little friend or just water dragons?

Overall this is a short, quick high emotion read. I really liked it and it makes me wonder about others from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Such a great story! I always love vampire stories and this one is no exception. The story moves along at a quick pace and easily drew me into the lives of these characters. Salvatore is strong character who had drive. I enjoyed Lucianna and her powers. She has an independent nature that makes her zesty and full of fire. The chemistry between these two is palpable.

Secondary characters are a lot of fun. They added some lively times to the story. I think Embry is my favorite. She has some sauciness about her and she stands up for Luce then makes her smile. Just what a friend should do!

Overall this is an enjoyable read. It took me on an adventure of the best kind.

Fury of Conviction (dragonfly Short Story Collection #2) by Coreene Callahan was the first book by this Author that I have read and I really enjoyed it from start to finish. I truly wished there was more…that’s the sign of a good book isn’t it?

Hamersveld has a big decision to make, does he stand by the Razorbacks and their crazy idea or does he follow his own desires and seemly uncontrollable attraction to Natalie, one of the beautiful young women that they are currently holding captive. At the same time that Sveld is battling with his decision, Natalie herself is very focused on escaping and getting back to her life but when an opportunity arises can she take it and leave the gorgeous Sveld behind for good.

I can’t wait to read the next story to see if we find out not only more about Sveld and Natalie, but also the rest of the Razorbacks.

Hawke (Men of Syn, #1)Hawke by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hawke is book one in the Men of Syn series by Anise Storm. A new author to me, Anise Storm’s writing quickly became a very interesting addition to my ever expanding library. A creative and imaginative author capable of sinning a sinister and mysterious tale full of intrigue, passion and seriously hot characters. Appealing to my love for the alpha male and dominant men, Hawke ticked all the boxes and sent every single sense tingling.

The story grasped my attention instantly and had me gasping. Each character was complex, especially Hawke. Each scene well executed and thought out. Each sexy moment meant to create shortness of breath and spine tingling bliss. Not ever quite knowing what the next turn of the page would bring, this story was engaging, captivating and unforgettable. Hawke and Charlotte had history, worked their way past it and created memories and paved a new path to HEA. A thrilling read that satisfied and mesmirised. 5 stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was amazing and held so much depth. JD Spero touched upon multiple subjects that many can relate to( ie: mental illness, trauma, teenage angst, family dysfunction, etc. ) . This is a first for me by this author and I am eagerly awaiting the next novel.
7 year old Hen witness’s a brutal attack on his neighbor/babysitter Sally, and soon after his brother is arrested as the accused. As the events begin to truly spiral we view a family torn apart, innocence destroyed, and hidden secrets unearthed. Multiple POV were used and each character gave you piece to the puzzle. So many emotions were brought out in this wonderfully told story, and it became a friendly reminder about how little one can know about what goes on behind closed doors.

The God (Her Three Immortals, #2)The God by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The God, book #2 in the Her Three Immortals series, picks up right where the first story concluded. Vanessa is swept away to the Underworld with Grey, where he makes it clear she isn’t welcome. Once there, Vanessa befriends a gorgon, and finds a pet in her giant caterpillar, PK. Exploring the Underworld is quite an adventure for Vanessa, as she deals with Grey, her lover she left on earth, Raef, and their brother, Aroz.

Hazel Storm has done it again! This story is hot, full of steamy romance, adventure, humor, and loveable characters. The way she describes the Underworld is fantastic and is so different than what I have read before. The things that Vanessa sees, the people she meets, and the creatures she finds in the Underworld all combine to set the stage for a fantastic novel. This series is so light hearted and fun! This story was a great continuation in the series, and I can’t wait to read what happens next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ripley Luna has decided it’s time to end her life. She suffered through unspeakable childhood trauma, which led to her never reaching her goal of becoming an astronaut. Told through diary entries and the view of her psychologist, Drifting, Falling–Diary of a Call Girl Suicide is a book that gives the reader pause. Ripley is a likeable enough character, and the author does a great job of portraying her thoughts and feelings as if you are reading a real diary. The way the novel is written, there is a lot of history and facts interspersed throughout. This was a neat aspect of the story because it made Ripley, and her musings in her diary, seem more real.
This is not a happy story, where everything is wrapped up in a neat little bow at the end. I finished it a few hours ago and am still thinking on it. It’s one that I will remember for a long time.

The Third Nanny by Michele Pariza Wacek introduces us to Janey, college student, future psychologist with no family left. Her parents are gone, and her only sibling, Kelly, disappeared 8 years ago. But one day, Janey receives a cryptic letter from Kelly-claiming she is in danger…and then, Kelly disappears again. Determined to not lose her again, Janey tracks down her previous employer and takes her job–as a nanny for Max and Julia. But things aren’t always what the seem. The family has secrets–ones that might just make Janey disappear too!

Oh my gosh! This novel is a 5/5 stars. I wish I could rate it higher. The character building is great, Janey is a likeable protagonist, and the story flows really well. The ending was mind blowing–completely unexpected twists and turns! Just when you think everything has been revealed, there’s more! A+ writing. I am so excited to read the other books in the Secrets of Redemption series! This book is a must read for any psychological thriller fans!

The God (Her Three Immortals, #2)The God by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The God (Her Three Immortals Book Two) is the second book in Hazel Storm’s Immortals is just as good as the first. These books should be read in order. Storm has again swept us up and away into her own little world, or in this case, underworld. With a great cast of characters, you will not go wrong picking this series.

We pick up where we left off with Vanessa Maan and her three gods. Vanessa has given her soul to the Grey, the Don of the Underworld, in exchange for her brother, Piper’s, life. Now she is living in Grey’s apartment in the Underworld. No one knows why the Judges placed her here, but she has made it her mission to find out.

This book was just as fun, quick, and easy to read as the first. It again ends on a cliffhanger, which is not my favorite, but hopefully we will not have to wait too long until we receive the third.

Houses of Deception (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 6) by Cynthia Hamilton

I can’t believe we are already six books in on this series.  I started this series looking for something different than my normal book and boy am I glad I did.

I have enjoyed each one of these books for different reasons. In this one was how Maddie and Mike fed off one another.   They like many couples can almost read each other’s minds and definitely read the others body language.

There was so much to keep up with since there were two different cases but once again they figure out what’s going on in each one though they were working them simultaneously.  I try and figure out the twists and responsible party but I was surprised by conclusion of each case.

I’m so glad to see there will be another book coming in the future.

Remember His Name (Remember My Name Series Book 2) by Laurencia Hoffman – Review by Beverly Finnie

Remember His Name (Remember My Name, #2)Remember His Name by Laurencia Hoffman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Remember His Name is book 2 in the series by Laurencia Hoffman. Her Characters and story are extremely well written. Yes this book ties into her first book Remember My Name, but I don’t feel you have to read that book as well though you SHOULD, to enjoy this one. This story does contain potential trigger warnings early on, but it’s not a theme throughout the entire book.

The book specifically focuses on Wren as an 8 year old boy to the present day, who lives the life of an empath. (Side note: For anyone who doesn’t know what an empath is, it’s someone that feeds off of other people’s energy. Which is something that could be absolutely rewarding but also weigh very heavily on them.)
We follow Wren through his emotional turmoil after his husband is murdered.

When he stumbles upon Adam his life changes, and he starts to live life again, despite knowing his fate. Adam helps him in his quest to find out who murdered his husband, before the murderer gets to them.

Does Wren find the guy who murdered his husband? Does he get the opportunity to clear his name and prove he’s a good person? All those answers and more will be found throughout your book journey with Wren. Again it’s another well written book by author Laurencia Hoffman and I encourage each and everyone of you to give it a chance. You will not be disappointed!
