This was is a really interesting read. I loved the mixture of crime and paranormal and how they mixed together to create this unique story.
Jayne has returned to her grandparents house in Whisper Pines. Her job is to clear it out and get it ready the be sold. However that all changes when she finds the home vandalised and the body of a dead young woman outside the property. Jayne promised herself she wouldn’t get involved in this case but with the local sheriff showing no interest in solving the murder Jayne takes it upon herself to get some answers.
She is then taken down a rabbit hole of Witches, Spells and people who can see when death is coming. As her suspect list keeps growing longer Jayne starts to get warned off this case by the Sheriff. But why? What is the Sheriff trying to hide or cover up?
I really enjoyed this heartwarming and lighthearted romantic comedy and I felt engaged with the main characters, Stella and Johnny. Stella is an independent and driven workaholic city girl who is willing to move to a small town temporarily to prove that she deserves a promotion. However, things do not go as planned when Stella ends up with her car in a ditch but luckily local mechanic Johnny comes to her rescue. Jonny offers to show her everything the town has to offer, including “other activities”, but with no strings attached as he’s not looking for a relationship. This is perfect for Stella as she’s not planning on staying in Asheville. The more time the couple spend together they both start to wonder if their relationship could be more long term but Stella is still intent on her promotion and Johnny’s ex girlfriend is also a complication for the couple. I loved the characters and the chemistry between Stella and Johnny came across in the story from when they first met. I also liked the relationship between Stella and her cousins, Audrey and Tiffany and enjoyed their witty banter. The storyline flowed well and the plot had me happily turning the pages. An enjoyable and engaging read which I recommend and I look forward to reading Tiffany’s story next in the series.

The storyline was a little hard to follow at first but once I got into it I couldn’t stop reading. The story has so much going on, Emma cracking case after case; it’s almost like reading an action novel. The story captivates you, and you almost forget that you’re reading. With a new case starting almost every few chapters you are kept wanting more until the end. Each case was solved by the end of the book so there were no cliffhangers. Very good read!
PHENOMENAL! This book knocked my socks off. I was not expecting that. This book takes off from the beginning and you just can’t put it down. A legal thriller along the lines of John Grisham’s early books. A plot full of action and twists, slimy characters that you love to hate, even ones you thought you’d love but found out they suck too. This book is worth the read. I can’t tell you anymore. You HAVE to read this. 10 stars if I could give it. You must read this. Highly recommend.

A Natural Passion by Tammy Mannersly. This is a great contemporary romance and I really enjoyed it. Its the story of Dylan O’Day who is a Marine Biologist and he has just been give a new intern named Kyra Stone. Dylan has developed a huge crush on Kyra even though their age difference is drastic. Kyra is not aware of this crush and therefore she has developed a crush on one of the Jake one of her coworkers. She thinks Jake seems perfect but she ends up finding out he is not who he claims to be. Dylan and Kyra share the passion of saving Sea Turtles and when poachers come into play they find out that not everyone has good intentions. Will Dylan find the courage to tell Kyra how he feels? Read this great Novella to find out!
This storyline was captivating with both mystery and romance unraveling with each page. I felt as invested as those actually investigating while trying to sort out the truth along side them. This book turned out to be more of a page turner than anticipated with a nice balance of love, concern and mystery til the end. I also felt the honesty within the storyline was a nice touch.

This is a charming little murder mystery with a menagerie of interesting characters. The setting is a quaint neighborhood with a drama laden gardening club. The main character, Anne, is a mystery magnet and like a dog with a bone, she just won’t let loose of her hunch. As with any mystery, things aren’t always what they seem from the surface! It’s very light hearted considering it’s a murder mystery and quite enjoyable!

I found this to be a cute, funny and oh-so-entertaining read. The girl goes country. Culture shock can be so very hard especially with two off-the-wall cousins. Stella has quite the adventure just trying to get that promotion at work. When she finally gets the offer of a lifetime, it starts off with a KAPOW! She must relocate to Asheville for a while….it does have one perk….a handsome fella who rescues her. They have some wild adventures with “wild” critters and other things. Together they also find their attraction and work through it. Will it be able to withstand when the distribution center is done? You’re going to have to read and find out. Such well-written characters, they grow on you. You feel like you are reading about what your friends are doing. It’s easy to follow along. You’ll find yourself chuckling at Stella adjusting to country life. Highly recommend.

There are only a handful of times I have finished a book and was left wanting more! Scarlet Princess is an exciting story of a princess taken prisoner by the clan that her family defeated years before. Will she survive to see her family again? How can she feel the way she does for her captor and enemy? I read this book in one setting, not getting anything else done until I finished it. I found myself laughing out loud at the bantering between Princess Rowan and Lord Theodore. This book takes an unexpected turn at the end and I cannot wait for the next book. Wonderful characters and an exciting storyline. I highly recommend this book. Scarlet Princess is the first book of the Lochlann Feuds series and follows the Lochlann Treaty series, but can be read as a stand-alone. Reviewed by Terri Jo McAllister

Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by Terri Jo McAllister
I could have so much to say on how captivating and amazing this book was in its own way! I was hooked right from the start, and as I read more into it the more I was hooked, trying to plan out who could be the main suspect in all that was happening, but still wondering all in all, if there was more truth than known?
For starters I loved the town, a small town, which seems like such a kind hearted town, but yet filled with dark secrets, and honestly though, how well do you know your neighbors and can you really trust the happy looking ones? The ones that look more not bad intentions, perhaps are the ones you should give your trust to? It all starts off with a murder that randomly happens. From that point on the lead character named Jayne who is there in the town basically for family business, and seriously seemed like she did not want to be back in the town in the first place. Loved her character by the way. She was very skilled as a sleuth and someone who wanted the truth always and no matter what would or could be. As the mystery went further deep I could not help what I truly loved most about this town, and that would be the residents that resided there. Each character was complex, but understandable in their own way. They were unique in the sense I constantly wanted to know more. As I read on, all for the most part came together all in all, that being said though…I loved how it ended, now I need to read the next!
The book gave me all aspects of a supernatural book I truly loved. I really enjoyed the book and how the author underwent with how the plot progressed as well as things that happened as I read on. They very much knew how to keep the reader interested. Seriously this book is a must read!
This was a great read for me! I loved spooky stories, and ones that bring on suspense with a dash of mystery always works well for me! This one was a quick read, but the story came together so well, I was very impressed and very much satisficed with reading this book.
A lady and her fiancé inherit this beautiful home. In my opinion, sometimes when you get such a grand estate based from a inherit there sometimes can be a catch…but of what kind is the true matter of the question? The estate is grand no less. As I first was venturing into reading about the home, I was overwhelmed with creepy feelings, about this home, as if my reader senses were saying something was bound to happen at some point…perhaps I was right? Things progress quick with the right amount of suspense, a ghost that may not have the best intentions, buried secrets that may have been left in the closet, and as well as that, and Luci going down a path that she may not be able to come back from herself…there was a lot happening in a creepy way. It was an amazing read. I really enjoyed it!
The book was a first time author for me. I had a great time reading this creepy mysterious book. I think it is one a lot of people should dive into, and find out the mystery themselves. Far as I know…Stormwood takes to new guests aka readers quite kindly…its defiantly a must read for sure.

The Boss Prince (It’s Raining Royals #1) by Alix Nichols
4-stars
This was the first book I’ve read by this author but it won’t be my last, I highly enjoyed this read from start to finish. It’s not the type of book I would normally read but I loved it through and through.
This author wrote with such great detail, with hints of history included and I loved that, it really provided a well-rounded story and I was able to clearly picture everything out in my mind. I loved the characters as I was super intrigued by their individual stories and I enjoyed getting to know them better.
I look forward to reading more from this author asap and I would recommend this book to others.

Deadly Words by Meghan O’Flynn is a thriller which is the first book in the Born Bad series. It is a page Turner. I could not put it down. Poppy is a teenager who witnesses her father murder her boyfriend and she turns him in. He is in prison for the murder. Someone is stalking Poppy and she does not know who it is. It could be someone who is working for her father or someone who wants revenge. The twists and turns were awesome!!

Hazel Storm has done it again in The Bow! A great continuation of a wonderful series. So much happens in this 48 hours!! And what a wonderful destiny our heroine has! A true why choose filled with true love and adventure. Mysteries to unravel, palaces to explore, gods to kiss, who wouldn’t want to live a day in the life in this book? Add a good dollop of growing up and god-like powers and this is the perfect addition to Her Three Immortals. And I am SO excited for the next one!!

A Natural Passion is a great contemporary romance novella by Tammy Mannersly. I have read several of Tammy Mannersly’s novella and have really enjoyed every one of them. I can now add A Natural Passion to that list. I really enjoyed reading this novella. With most books that I read being set in the USA, it’s great to discover somewhere new as Tammy Mannersly’s books are set in Australia. With a marine biology background, this book is set in the beautiful coastline and has totally piqued my interest in marine biology and conservation. Dylan and Kyra’s story is a bit different as at the beginning Kyra is interested in a different man. She just hasn’t quite realised just how perfect the man she is working alongside, who is mentoring her is just perfect for her. I loved reading how Dylan and Kyra’s relationship changed as they migrated towards each other, realising just how similar they are in their career aspirations and conservation beliefs. This is a very enjoyable read, that although short has plenty of action packed into it to keep you really engaged and wanting to read more.

Gone Country by Katrina Marie is book one of the Gone in Love series. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I wasn’t disappointed!
In order for Stella to get the promotion she desperately wants and needs, she needs to prove she deserves it. In order to do that, she needs to move to a small town. She doesn’t have an easy go of it at first but that doesn’t last for long. Stella is strong willed. She’s determined to make it through her time in Asheville. Then she meets Johnny, who offers to fix her car for her, among other things. Can Stella keep her eye on the promotion and still spend spend time with Johnny even though her time is only temporary?
Stella is a bit of a workaholic and definitely thinks work trumps everything which works for her. Johnny definitely has charm and didn’t hesitate to use it on Stella. These two had sparks. This book was well written and overall I enjoyed the story!

Gardening murder mystery What a brilliant cozy mystery. This is the 5th book in the series but a first for me by this author. The writing is easy to read and I quickly connected with the characters. There is a bit of comical banter throughout the story which was amusing and kept the storyline light. I loved the small town setting and the author really captured the interconnected nature of the community. A quick, witty and fun story.

This was an enjoyable read. First, I’ve always been fascinated with the turtles and watch a lot of nature shows that talk about the conservation of these, so I found this part unique and I loved it.
I’m not super crazy about love triangles normally and I had this one figured out pretty early on, but did enjoy how it all played out. It was a very easy read and left me with a sweet comforted feeling at the end. I really enjoy this author’s books and her writing is amazing so I will always pick them up as I see them. Can’t wait for more!
I highly recommend this story, it was short, sweet and a definite one sitting read.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. This is a quick and classic romance which I love. I was hooked on these characters from the first chapter. I could not stop reading until I finished the book. I was in love with the story. I read it in only one sitting. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.
Dylan O’Day is a well known marine biologist in his town. He is trying to save the sea turtles but there is someone that is poaching the eggs. Dylan has feelings for Kyra but he is way older than her. He doesn’t want to break the trust they have but he can’t stop thinking about her. Will Dylan finally tell Kyra how he feels or will they just stay friends?
This was such a fun, cute and lovable story! It was shorter but, as the reader you still got all the most important parts to a great story! The writing that Tammy Mannersly is able to accomplish really pulls you into the story! Not every author can do this. The two main characters, Kyra and Dylan are also so relatable because they are fighting for something they love (Marine life and the sea turtle eggs) and I think that is one of the most relatable things ever! Everyone has something they want to fight for and believe in. That’s what I loved about this story, it was very relatable with who the characters were and I love when that comes across.

This book was wonderful. The characters were relatable and were so entertaining to read about. I loved that Stella got thrown into a situation that she never expected to enjoy. She has a horrible supervisor that she is dying to get out from under with this promotion that could offer her everything that she has been dreaming of. She has two of the best cousins/friends in the world and they are pushing her to be her best self regardless of how outside her comfort zone it is. Those are the kinds of friends that everyone needs in their lives! Johnny has been living his small-town life and it is all that he knows. He wasn’t expecting Stella when she drove into town nor was he expecting to be completely enamored by her from the first meeting. Their relationship is a whirlwind and was supposed to be a quick fling. Throw in an old love, a super small town, and some revelations long in the making and this story had everything that makes a love story realistic and heartwarming. I will definitely be picking up another read by Katrina Marie and encourage you to do the same!

Princess Rowan and her cousin Davin go on a smuggling mission and end up trapped in the tunnels separating their home and enemy lands. When they are captured and taken into the home of Clan Elk, Rowan finds herself in a life or death situation. This book has all the world building and story telling you could want, including enemies to lovers, the one-bed trope and a hell of a cliffhanger.

This is a very sweet and cute rom/com that I enjoyed from beginning to end. I love the story of a big city girl, Stella and small town boy, Johnny. When Stella relocates temporarily due to a possible job promotion, sparks fly when she meets Johnny. When Johnny helps Stella with her vehicle trouble he also offers her no strings attached fun while in a small town temporarily. Will Stella go for it while still going for the promotion of her dreams? I thought this was a sweet, cute rom/com and devoured this book in a short few hours. I love a good romance and this was perfect for me. I definitely will be checking out more books from Author Katrina Marie for sure!

Craig is one of those five, he hasn’t seen coaches daughter Rachel in years and isn’t sure just how she will be with him. Craig and Rachel were high school sweethearts that didn’t end well.

A Natural Passion had me hooked from the first few sentences and I had to keep reading to find out what would become of the characters and if the mystery of the raided sea turtle nests could be solved. It was very well written, characters were well described, and the book moves along at a good pace.
The story centers around Dylan O’Day, a marine Biologist, and his intern, Kyra Shine. Dylan is dedicated to preserving and protecting marine life and has devoted his life to doing so. Suddenly his world is turned upside down when he meets his intern, Kyra, who he becomes smitten with. Dylan has never met anyone as caring and down to earth as her before. He finds himself conflicted as he finds himself falling for her but does not want to risk his relationship with her as her mentor. He is also older than her, so he chooses to keep his feelings to himself and keep their relationship platonic.
Kyra finds herself infatuated with her boss’ son, Jake, who has a reputation as being a bit of a bad boy. However, Kyra only sees the good in Jake because they share a love for the ocean and more importantly the endangered turtles. Kyra spends a great deal of time with Jake, much to Dylan’s dismay, and Dylan tries to warn her about him. Kyra chooses to ignore Dylan’s advice and continues to see Jake thinking that Dylan is being overprotective.
When illegal poachers start raiding the nests of the endangered sea turtles the Science Center Team sets out to investigate and save the nests before more are ransacked. Dylan sets out to protect the endangered sea turtles against the poachers and hopes to catch them in the act. Will he be able to save the endangered sea turtles? Will his heart be broken by Kyra? Will Kyra choose Jake, or will she choose Dylan? Will true love prevail? You will have to read to find out!

The first book in the Born Bad series, Deadly Words is a chilling, psychological, page-turner. I could not put this book down! The ending definitely left me wanting more and I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series! Meghan O’Flynn has written an original, creative, realistic story that draws the reader in and doesn’t let go. I simultaneously wanted to be Poppy’s friend and turn her in to the authorities. This story includes elements of manipulation, murder, revenge, lies, and so much more. I recommend this book to anyone looking for edge-of-your-seat reading.

Goddess of Everything: A Blood-Curling Tale of Truth, Freedom and Love by Paul DeBlassie III is a wild ride. I loved every page of this book. I love psychological thrillers; Goddess of Everything adds in the supernatural that makes it even better! The descriptions were lifelike, I felt like I was there seeing everything around me. The characters were well developed. I want to say they were also relatable, but I didn’t feel like I could trust them. Which made for a better story, because I was constantly turning pages and trying to guess what was going to happen next. I would recommend this book to everyone, even if thrillers aren’t your thing. It’s perfect for spooky season. Maybe don’t read it with the lights off! I will say a trigger warning may be needed for scenes depicting child abuse and murder.

This is the first book in this series by Bernadette Marie. I really connected to the characters. Coach Diaz passes away and five of his players are called back to be pallbearers. They were his core players when his own son passed away, and he really took them under his wing. It made me really think about the impact we make on other people and the impression we leave. How many people do we lose contact with that were so important in our lives as we grow older and make our own way in the world? Craig one of the fabulous five and he comes face to face with coach’s daughter, Rachel. She wants to catch up. He is torn, he broke coach’s rule once, Rachel was off limits. Will they find their way back to each other? Or is there too much standing in the way? I love second chance romances, as I am engaged in mine right now. These always tug at my heart and make me glad that we can choose to open our hearts and love again.

A Natural Passion is a short story with a cause running through it. I have read a few books by Ms. Mannersly and this one is my favorite. I love stories that have preservation of animals, and this hit the spot. This was a fast read, about an hour and a half, but it was just what I needed on a lazy Sunday Afternoon. Dylan and Kyra have chemistry, but it took a while for them to figure it out. This was a really enjoyable read. Review by @sunbarn
