5 +++++ Stars

This was an amazing read! I actually read this with 3 of my grandchildren who truly appreciated every word as I did. The activities were spot on and thought provoking, it was awesome to read a book with them where they asked questions that had me even thinking. I plan to buy this book for a few families as Christmas presents this year. This author is an inspiration and brings awareness to so many things while reading this book. This is so relevant in our world today and I’m so glad I picked this up and so very glad I was able to read it with my grandchildren. It was an honor and might just be one of my favorite reads of the year.

Many thanks to this author for sharing this with all of us!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book really surprised me. It’s not a genre I have normally ventured into. I found it a surprising treat because it the action kept me intrigued. What an interesting time period. The characters were quite interesting and kept me wanting to learn more and see what happened to them. I found it had a strong voice. I could relate to characters. It still ran smooth. Quite a good book. I recommend it anybody that likes romance. You might find yourself as surprised as I was. I’m looking forward to reading book 2 of the series. Highly recommend.

I was lucky enough to have 3 of my grandchildren with me for a few days so grabbed this book as these 3 already are aware of there being no santa. I had them each read this separately and then we talked about it. Each of them loved it. One of them actually wished that when she found out that it had been just like it was handled in this story and they all 3 decided that that’s how they will think about it from now on. That was enough for me to write this review and rate it 5 stars. Have already recommended my daughters read this for when it’s time for the other younger ones to ask this question.

They really liked it!

This is one of those books that takes sucks you in from page one and holds you all the way until the end. I love how the author starts write off jumping into the story action. There are no dreary pages of descriptions of the landscape around them. Grab you by the seat and let’s go action is the best way to go. The premise of the plot was exciting. An original way to cover the apocalypse theme and it was awesome. Everything ran together like a smooth jazz song. Highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Practical, personal, and plentiful
This was a journey through self-reflection and discovery. Absolutely resonated with me about how quickly we can forget about basic self-care and get caught up in the guise of busyness. This cuts to the basic roots of nature and magic and reminds us all that we have our own magic that needs to be acknowledged and nourished. So much is held within the pages of this book and it is so eloquently delivered. A very worthy read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is utterly captivating. I was immediately drawn into this story from the very first page. I was cheering for Annie the entire time that she was on a fascinating journey of self discovery. This book really highlights how important it is to listen to your intuition and to always follow your heart. Just because the life you want might not be what’s expected of you it’s never to late to change the course of your life and take a different path. It can be so hard to reach for happiness but it’s worth the risk and the connection between Annie and Ian is sheer magic! The flashbacks to an older time and exploring family history was so fascinating. This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read before and I absolutely adored it! This is definitely a must read story of romance and self discovery that transcends time itself.

Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan Book 1) by Anise Storm

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Another amazing book by this amazing author. Conveniently Yours is a great read.

Caspian is a playboy and he isn’t afraid to show it. When he is told by his uncle that he is to find a girl and stay married for a year that changes things. Then he meets Paisley and they both may get what they want. The quote I chose for Caspian is: “I’m not in the market for anything more than sex. I don’t like attachments, even brief ones, so this is for the best.”

Paisley is freaking out when she gets a call saying her mom has been moved. She isn’t doing well with money and is about to be kicked out of her place. She needs money and Caspian is more than willing. The quote I chose for Paisley is: “I’m not sure I understand. Has her condition gotten worse?”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price AUDIO BOOK by C.L. Schneider- Review by Lauren West

I absolutely love audio books like this! The narrator truly brought these characters to life, and I easily imagined every chapter vividly.
Fantasy stories were made for the audiobook world, and they are soo fun to listen to.

This story Ian Troy who is a Shinree. A race enslaved and abused due to their magic addiction. When I can take the drugging and forced combat he defies his queen by using the Crown of Stones.
He ends a war but unleashes something terrible. The story takes us through Ian’s journey to overcome the downfall of his people and to embrace his true self. Will Ian overcome his fear, or will he be the reason for his own downfall.

This wonderfully written children’s book tells the story of a little boy, Lucas, as he tries to find the truth about Santa Claus. The illustrations are wonderfully drawn and really helped to capture my daughter’s attention as we read this story before bed.

This story does not give a quick yes or no answer to his question but rather explains a little of the magic of Santa. Lucas is invited to become the newest member of the Dream Keepers. I can see this becoming a holiday classic for kids for many years to come.

Dead Sound (Things Unseen, #1)Dead Sound by Anise Eden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Intriguing I feel is the best way to describe Dead Sound! I didn’t love it but I didn’t dislike it either. I wanted to know what was happening which kept me reading!
I enjoyed how the author wrote the characters as well. Con was definitely a protector, especially when it came to everything Neve. Neve on the other hand seems to do what everyone does(which is extremely relatable), she can’t apply what she knows to herself. What I mean is, as a therapist she knows how to navigate situations and help talk other’s through things, but she seems to struggle applying that same concept to her life.
Returning to work after being attacked, Neve walks onto the psychiatric floor and is greeted by patients worshiping at her feet, unnerving to someone who was attacked the last she worked. Seems to get caught up in a dangerous conspiracy due to one of her established patients Amos.
Con, a colleague of Neve who wants to be more, does everything he can do to protect Neve from getting sucked into the dangerous conspiracy, he also being one of Amos Doctors, feels the information that was decrypted from the “Book of Amos” would put her in to much danger despite the promise she made.
What does Con do?
Does Neve find out he’s withholding from her?
How is her boss involved?
What has Amos done?
If those questions intrigue you as much as they intrigued me, you really need to check this book out! You’ll want to know what happens, and the only way you’re finding that out is reading for yourself!

Luke (Default Distraction #4)Luke by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5/5 Stars

This is the second book I’ve read by the author. Luke is another amazing book. So far the Default Distraction Series is amazing. I will be on the lookout for more.

Luke has had it hard his entire life. In comes Nikki and she changes everything. Luke is nostalgic and thinks of someone from the past. The quote I chose for Luke is: “She could have had it with us.”

Nikki is one of the few who get to get close to members of Default Distraction. When she catches Luke’s eye things change. The quote I chose for Nikki is: “Would it work if I said I wasn’t hungry?”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Such a cute coming of age Christmas tale. A young boy asks his mom if Santa is real. Mom explains the “truth” behind Santa and the spirit of giving and joy that is what Santa really is.
He’s not an old man with a beard in a red suit. The truth about Santa Claus is that he’s not a person at all; he’s an idea. This great little story, with beautiful illustrations, is the perfect way to help parents explain the truth behind Santa Claus and make their kids “Dream Keepers” too.

Cade (Default Distraction Book 3) by A.S. Roberts

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Cade is a good book and I can’t wait for the other books. The author did an amazing job and I’m looking forward to the other books.

Winter is a manager from her brother’s band. She has caught the eye of one of the band members. She can’t let herself fall for him or things will go bad. The quote I chose for Winter is: “Don’t flatter yourself, you wouldn’t have the skills to satisfy a woman like me.”

Cade is a cocky one and he knows it. He likes Winter, but doesn’t want to lose his bad boy status. When things change between them they change all the way around. The quote I chose for Cade is: “I didn’t know you had a stutter, Winter. I could train you not to have one…In fact, I think there are many ways I could help you.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Strega: Magic: The Spirit Never Dies is such a wonderful read! It is out of my normal genre but I found it refreshing and welcomed the fantastic story-telling of the author. The way she was able to describe the characters, scenery, and emotions made me feel as though I was a spectator in 1800’s Italy and modern day Massachusetts. Even though a love story is at the center of this novel, it is far from a romance. The twists and turns made me want to keep reading until I was finished and even then, I wish the story could have gone on longer. I loved this book!

This was a really sweet story! I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, something a little different, but this was very sweet to read! I wanted to read it to my one year old daughter but this is a little too much for her understanding right now. I would say this could be a good story to read to maybe 4-6 year olds. I plan to read this to my daughter when she gets older. It has a great premise and the illustrations are beautiful. I think kids would really enjoy having this book read to them!

Diabolical Sword: An Urban Fantasy Mystery (The Charm Collector Book 1)
4 out of 5 stars
This book one in the Charm Collector collection and I adored this urban fantasy. Harlow is hysterical and the constant commentary between Harlow, Caspian and Welsh alone was enough to keep me going. Harlow is a simple girl, just trying to live her best life. But don’t let anyone tell you that, that life is on the gray side of the criminal. When Harlow ends up with a sentient sword, she is fast wanting to get rid of it, only to find out, that the sword has taken a liking to her, and has made her life, a living nightmare. Soon Harlow finds herself on the run from the cops and other crazy shifter creatures.
This book was super fun. The characters and world were so detailed and incredibly thought out. Lovers of sci-fi, fantasy, and mystery will love this book.

Diabolical SwordDiabolical Sword by Melissa Erin Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was like a Dungeons & Dragons campaign gone horribly wrong and I loved every second of it!

Harlow, a charm collector, was only doing what she does best, find magical items and ‘re-home’ them. After a fellow collector gets caught for contraband magical items, Harlow decides to loot his trove before the Collective will take it for themselves. (Collective is basically the government of this magical hub) In the other collectors treasure room, she finds many magical items to loot including a pretty shiny sword that catches her eye.

Harlow some how activates the sword and it awakens. Having a mind of its own, the dragon scale sword imprints on Harlow and wants her help to find out where it came from. Unfortunately, the sword goes on a murdering spree. Once the collective gets wind of this sword, they are pulling out all the stops to make Harlow be an enemy of the public. With Harlow now on the run, she has no idea who she can trust, where to go, where the sword came from, why it chose her?

Throughout this book, we follow Harlow on her crazy adventure filled with magic, murder, mystery and so much more. I would definitely want this author to DM one of my future D&D adventures!

I was looking for a book that I could share with my son who is on the cusp of not believing in Santa. I wanted a fun way to tell him, but still needed a way for him to not spoil it for his younger brother. This book, like many of the Christmas stories and movies, starts with a friend telling the main character that Santa isn’t real. In this book the mom talks about the child being a dream keeper and that those believe keep the dream alive. The boy becomes a dream keeper so that his brother still believes. A great way to help tell your child about Santa, I just wish it was longer!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind in her writing. This is the fourth book of the very addictive Default Distraction series. This book can be read as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not stop until the end and I can’t wait to see what she will write next.

Luke was given up by both parents. He was raised in an orphanage by the only father figure he knew. Luke is now a single dad and band member to a very well known group. He wants his daughter to have the best life that he didn’t have. Luke is starting a tour and he needs a nanny to help out. He is shocked to find out that his new nanny is the girl he saw one day and he can’t stop thinking about it. Luke knows he is not good at relationships but there’s something about her he can’t get over. Will Luke be able to find love or will it slip through his hands once again?

I’m trying to think of the best word to describe this book…intense?? Intense and addicting for sure. I went into this knowing about the possible triggers and violent storyline. Right up my alley for sure. Some might think of a character such as Liz as weak and broken, but she is such a strong a resilient character in my eyes. This author definitely shines at character development and building a gripping world that the reader gets easily sucked into. This would have made a great series, as I’m a sucker for detailed long stories, but this quick read surely didn’t lack any important aspects. I’d strongly suggest this author, as long as the reader knows what they are getting into and enjoys a good dark romance.

The best thing for me is finding new authors and new books. This was just the ticket. I love paranormal or fantasy type books and I love the way this one was written. The multi timeline element of this book really works well. I like how the past was used and how it really was the key to everything. The author really has a unique and refreshing story.

I was really hooked from the beginning and I could not put this book down. From the historical part of the book to the present day the story was flawless and really flowed well. I look forward to more from this author and I really hope this is the beginning of a good series.

This was an adorable book about the true meaning of Christmas and how important it is to keep the spirit of Santa alive no matter your age. I couldn’t read this one to my little because at 5 years old, he still completely believes in Santa Claus and I will give him zero reasons to doubt. I worry for when the time comes that someone at school or in everyday life will ruin the magic for him, but this book gave me a great idea of what to do when that time comes. I will keep it and continue to pass it on to other parents I know who will be struggling with the same thing. I highly recommend it for any parent or teacher who has children around the age that begins to question what they’ve been told. It will help renew the spirit and keep the magic alive.

Troy is a Shinree, his race is what sets him apart from other races. He also comes with an addiction for magic. Only problem is his magic can kill everything and everybody in his path. Being of the Shinree race he must serve his master,  even if that means going into battle. Having blood on his hand and the death of many. He decides to escape, but as far as he runs, everything catches up with him. I enjoyed this story, at times I felt as though I was in a race. This author has an eye for detail. The characters fit their description given by the author. Having read many book in this genre, I found this one just as entertaining and complete. This story makes for a great road trip. I recommend reading or listening to this story as it will not disappoint.
