These novels are so fun to read but I would highly recommend that you start with the first in the series and work your way to this one if you have not done so already. The books all work together and build upon one another in such a wonderful way. I absolutely loved this novel. I feel like I often find myself saying so with this author but this book has to be one of my favorites and really just captivates me from the very first page until that last chapter I savored. I loved the characters and the folklore that is deeply woven throughout as well as the wonderful paranormal details. I can’t say enough good things, run and scoop this gem up for yourself and see what the magic is all all about!

Having enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to being back with our heroine Eve Sawyer, and I was not disappointed. In this story journalism student Eve is back at college after an eventful summer break. However, she is soon back to investigating a mystery when she’s asked to find a missing classmate by their mum, and when Eve discovers that her boyfriend is also missing she can’t help but investigate further. Along with two friends and her journalism professor Eve launches a publicity campaign hoping to attract attention. With limited evidence, a ticking clock, thugs and dark secrets Eve faces a dangerous struggle to bring both of the missing people back alive. Like the authors previous cozy mysteries this is an exciting and fast paced read which had me hooked from page one. The plot twists kept me guessing until the end, and I was completely immersed in the story due to the authors descriptive narrative. Eve is a great main character who really brings the story together and I enjoyed investigating along with her. Although part of a series this can be read as a standalone story, but personally I would recommend reading the other books first for more enjoyment. An engaging read which kept me happily turning the pages, and I look forward to the next book in the series.

This is a great paranormal romance by an author who was completely new to me. I don’t read a lot of paranormal romance but when I do I always enjoy it, so I really need to add more of it to my reading list. Judging by how much I enjoyed this book, I’d definitely read more of this author’s work. Ember Ngata is a fantastic character that I loved reading about. She just wants her restaurant to do well and to have hr family back together. Just one thing – she has a rather huge secret. She experiences so much angst in this book. Should she do what’s right for her restaurant or should she worry more about the safety of her family? This is a decision that isn’t made any easier by the presence of Austin Garten, host of a food TV show who wants to promote her restaurant as her cooking is out of this world. I loved the dynamic between Austin and Ember, how they worked so well together and the growing attraction between them that Ember tried so hard to fight as there is no way she could risk Austin finding out her secret. I really enjoyed reading this book and would definitely recommend it to others.

The Author has a unique writing style and smoothly tells their story in a third-person narrative. The Author has provided us with an original take on the good-vs-evil/light-vs-dark plot; a reversed fairytale twist, with memorable characters and their dealings with magic, deception, drama and revenge.
I recommend reading the Dark Spells Series to anyone who enjoys the dark fantasy/paranormal genre. I also recommend reading the books in their intended order, it will save you from confusion, as this book seems to be a pivotal plot for the character Isra. This book will have you on the edge of your seat in suspense of what is to come, I look forward to reading the series from the beginning!

I immediately fell in love with Jacek and Oliwia’s story. A historical fiction book set in 17th century Poland, this captivating story is set around a soldier who is part of the elite military group of Winged Hussars and his love for the young woman that puts him in conflict with his duty. The characters are well written and the attention to detail in describing the scenes, the battles, and the relationships among each of the characters draws you into the story. Jacek and Oliwia’s fates will have you rushing to read the second book to continue their story.

This is probably by far the most beautiful book that I have ever had the pleasure of reading, everything in it just shone. It was so wonderful to gain insight and view the world how Chelle sees it. It shouldn’t need to ever be said but it is said wonderfully here that life is still vibrant, still colourful and beautiful even without sight. I adored the little activities she got the reader to do, really challenging you to step outside your comfort zone and really put yourself in the shoes of someone who is blind. Above everything else, what I adored the most was the playful and positive style that literally dripped off every word. Reading about the world from Chelle’s perspective, it felt fun and wonderful. Just adored reading this and I am sure that everyone else will too.
Wow I really don’t know where to start with this book. It is definately an amazing psychological Thriller which will keep you gripped from start to finish. The author does such an amazing job with the characters and the story tells and there are so many twists and turns that you even find yourself questioning your own sanity. With so many stories you never know who is telling the truth and which stories are lies. The author does an amazing job at building so many smoke screens into this book that when you think you have a handle on it something changes your views and ideas all over again.
Aria is a psychologist. After losing one of her patients she is struggling to come to terms with it, feeling like it was her fault and that she missed something.

As she finds herself getting more dragged into her new case she also relives her old case and her patient that died. Could the two cases be linked in some way? As we delve deeper into her patients minds and also see a side to Aria coming out. A side that has demons and holds secrets of their own. Through the steps Aria learns how freeing it is when we sometimes wear a mask that is different to the mask we wear everyday.

Born in darkness is the 3rd book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley, I am really enjoying this series so far and I am so glad that this booked ended the way it did! I think I guess who had been betraying the families at the end of the last book so was very glad to see that story progress. This book follows Stefano and Emiliana, who have been in love for as long as they can remember but due to Stefano’s controlling father they were never able to get to be together, that is until Emiliana life is put at risk again. I really liked this book, my only gripe is that it ended too quickly! I wanted them to string out the final confrontation but that’s just because I was cheering them on. This is a fast paced and exciting read. Highly recommend.

This book brought everything to the tale, and that is what made it so realistic as it was for me! I opened this book expecting a Rom Com with some drama, but it gave so much more, it was powerful and real as if the story was living before my very own eyes. This was a first time author for me, and most certainly will not be my last! They made a very well impression and literally have hooked me with their amazing writing!
The book was true to its word. I went into reading this book not knowing how lovely it would turn out to be. Yes, the book was not all roses and tulips, it was so much more than that! What made this book for me was the characters, they were real as the heart that is racing inside my own body. The characters went through stuff that was more than just drama or a pit pat to find one another. The pack that Brock and Krista had from very young was very realistic to my eyes, and as they aged and grew up things they went through, it happens often, I loved the author put it in there, with the sense of not every story matures happily without pain and hurt feelings. To me that was very commendable to input!
As the stuff between happens then you add to this triangle that contains them as well as Victoria (did not like her at first glance, and that opinion really stayed and I think she was written to be that way) and throw in Rylan an you got a deep engaging story. I enjoyed reading very much about these group of characters and how they would choose how to live and make choices and have to standby what they chose. The story itself as well as the characters brought on a lot of intrigue. Loved this book!
This book brought on very much enjoyment and was very remarkable in more ways than one! I loved it from start to finish. I highly recommend this book, as well as this amazing and gifted author. I look forward to reading more books by them! I know for a fact, I will surely enjoy more of their work!

This book has been an absolute treasure to read! I love historical fiction and this is right up my alley. The author takes you on a wonderful and page turning experience during WWII. Anna, the main character, drew me in as soon as the book started. I could NOT put this book down. If you enjoy a clue-finding type of book, this is the one to read. If you like genealogy, this is also a great read. It’s definitely made me want to get back into learning my ancestral history.

I fell in love with the characters more than the actual story surrounding it. That’s really odd for me to say but if you follow the flow of the way it unravels. So much of this book warms my heart in so many ways. It was almost like I was drawn to this book and it was well worth the read as it flowed easily, well written, and a whole experience!

I had the opportunity to read the messages within the book, and it was great to see what it is like to work within the confinements of blindness and other impairments as well. It reminded me of some of the exercises done to settle anxiety and return to oneness! I think these exercises were quite calming, and the commentary throughout the book was insightful. I look forward to continuing these exercises regularly!
Red’s Peril Part 2: The Prez’s Old Lady is the second book in Satan’s Devil Vegas chapter books. Picking up from where part 1 left off the story follows club president Red while he tries to get his head around not only reuniting with the love of his life but also being a father. His child Zeke is a wonderful character and I really loved how this book respectfully introduced an LQBTQ character into a world that is predominantly not inclusive. The Satan’s Devils do take a while to get round to using the correct pronouns for Zeke but it is very well written. I have really enjoyed all the books in this world of bikers and their adventures. This is a testament to the author who not only has to keep track of a myriad of characters but also keep coming up with new ways to keep us readers hooked. I highly recommend.

I have read many books by this author and I was once again drawn into the book and lost within the world she has created. I found the characters to be likable and well written. I really like her story and the world she has created with shifters and other supernatural creatures. I love how there is an element of forbidden love.
My most favorite shifter is a dragon so I was in seventh heaven with this book. I like the whole lore that the author creates and how the story progresses. I just could not put this book down. I cannot wait to read more from this author in future.

This book lived up to its title. I was blindsided by the quality and the impression it left with me. Just reading the blurb had my heart rate elevated. I am one to avoid conflict but just crave it in my stories. This book had plenty of that. As well as betrayal, hurt, anger, discovery and forgiveness. This story was extremely angsty, with a lot of sweating and heart racing moments. The characters were very detailed and the reader got a very explicit look into the catty, sometimes malicious and very judgemental side of adolescence. I felt for these characters and what they went through. Stories like this leave you with thoughts that love really does beat all and if you are meant to be, then the fight to HEA is fought with determination, courage and complete stubbornness. An intricately written saga that will not be forgotten. 5 stars

Limbo was not what I expected when I read the summary of the book. I almost expected a story about Alyse just entering Limbo and having to discover why she was there. The real story was better! Alyse and her village had to learn together how to make the most of what happened to them. Although Alyse was the lead character, my favorite was TheNakedMan. He had to learn how to be accepted, but he did so with cows. I do wish the book went into more detail of each of the characters and their backstories. This was a good, quick read!

This was a very unique romance. Written as senior-year in high school, I was fascinated to see the topic of bullying come up in a contemporary romance. I found that the author did a very good job of intermingling it within the story. The whole quartet of characters: Brock, Kirsa, Victoria and Rylan; were such an intriguing and integral part of the story. Victoria was quite the snot. The love triangle was a beautiful plot twist. Such a beautiful story, you really should read this. There is a bit of spice in a couple of spots but the theme of the story is one that should be told.

This book has so much going for it. It has historical elements right along with suspense. It has love and family and friends, all of which make life better—both in reality and on the page. The characters were strong, well-written, and realistic. The story itself had some amazing twists that I didn’t expect but loved. With fantastic descriptions, this book kept me thick in the middle of things—I felt like I was there during all of it. There was a bit more exposition than I’m used to, but it didn’t drag the story down as it was easy to take in. All in all, the book was a great read that was easy to lose myself in.

This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book that I picked up of hers. I enjoy her writing style as well as her attention to details. Her books pull me into the stories from the beginning. This book is no different. This is a well written story where the characters are engaging and kept me turning pages fast. This is a sports romance story that is full of romance and hard to put down. A young woman had a best friend, that is until he betrayed her. She is having a hard time getting over him until she meets Rylan and things start to change for her. Now she finds herself torn between the two. Who will she trust and will she find happiness with one of them? I enjoyed the characters’ growth throughout the plot as well as how connectable they were. They made the story entertaining to read which made it a great story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Kapow! I fell in love with this book. You are reading along with the story of Ember and Austin. Boy falls in love and the story develops. You are thinking you know Ember’s secret but BAM, mic drop. Plot twist!!! Ember has a bigger secret. This has just moved up the list of my favorite book of the year. I will be looking forward to book 2 in the series because I have to know what happens next in the search for the sisters. Back to Austin and Ember. Descriptions of Ember are absolutely gorgeous and unique. You have to read the book to find out what I’m talking about. The author has such a beautiful way of writing it. Austin and Ember are both coming from childhoods of heartbreak. Can they get past this to make it work? They can but they are going to need to do some work to get through it. There is some steam scattered throughout. I do love some spice with my romance. It fits perfect in here. The characters are totally relatable. The struggles are real. This is truly a wonderful book. I will be eagerly awaiting more from this author and from the series. Get out there and grab this book. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.
Multi-layered and intriguing This book had many elements that were presented in a way that kept my interest. The book is well written and keeps the multiple story lines in order. The elements of truth woven throughout the mystery adventure were well done and it stands out that the author has researched. A mix of history, drama, suspense, emotional turmoil and mystery makes this a very worthy read.

What am introducing is a book filled with a difference. This is a different than normal read for me. Ann is a women with a loving family. I enjoyed the time hopping in the book. This book has a lot going for it history romance, secrets, danger. There alot of attention to detail. It’s can be graphic at times and very emotional.

Food, love, and culture all entwined in one! This author has spoken to my heart and I can’t wait for what’s more to come! Austin and Ember were perfect together and their journey to a HEA was beautiful. This fantasy weaves together a love of family, adventure, and getting out of your shell! The romantic paranormal twist made me love the story even more.

Book 3 in what is currently a 5 book series. This installment can technically be read on its own but the back information you would have from reading the other books was beneficial to me keeping the information and names straight. This book answers some questions that were left open from the previous books and seems to set up things for book 4. Note, by jumping to book 3 you also get spoiled on the former romances and a little bit on how they came about.
I really enjoyed the building relationship between Emiliana and Stefano. Stefano is the son of one of the five heads of family for the Chicago Italian Mafia, but he is fighting against his father’s tyrannical rule of his life. Emiliana is still recovering from her abduction and being sold into human trafficking. Both have yearned for the other since they were kids, but can they overcome their life situations to finally be together?
I loved that Stefano is able to help Em continue to build herself up after her ordeal, and doesn’t shy away from it or hold it against her. She’s healing but he’s willing to be there as a support system and friend for her. I also enjoyed seeing Stefano standing up for himself and dealing with the ramifications of his father’s actions.
As mentioned, some lingering questions from the other two books are answered here and I enjoyed the mystery aspect of that. We see more tension build up with the Bratva here and I can’t wait to see what comes of that in book 4.

Holiday Hope is differ because it’s a period romance, but I loved it. First time I’ve really enjoyed a period piece that wasn’t a movie that starred Kiera Knightley. Anyway back to why I loved Holiday Hope and why you should too! Cora Lee is a sweet, independent, intelligent woman who has no living family left in the states. She decides her best course of action is to answer a mail order bride article that was in the paper. Now I knew during those times arranged marriages were a thing, but I never expected the mail order bride aspect. Unfortunately the whole reason for her to uproot her life to Holiday, Oregon was under false pretenses which leaves a decision for her to make. Stay with the lovely Coleman family and continue to fall in love with Jace, the twin brother of the man who rejected her, or move on. Jace swore off women and marriage because he feels all women are like his mother, floozy and vindictive. He never wanted to risk happiness because of what happened to his father. Instead he fell in love with the railroad and trains. Then when he meets Cora who was brought here by his father to wed his twin Jude, aside from his slight attraction, he swears to himself he will nor let Jude destroy her. Throughout the story Jace and Cora Lee’s character development apart and together is what makes this book work. The things they decide and overcome make this a sweet story in an idyllic setting of the gold rush during the Holidays in Oregon. I was skeptical going in, but not so much that I wasn’t intrigued, and I glad I jumped in, because the author won over and made me toss all skeptics to the wayside.
In part 1 learned about how Red & Cheryl got together and then separated. Ultimately we learned how Red got into the Satin Devils and his experiences with the club. It was an awesome start to Red’s story.
Part 2 is even better! I love that after 15 years Red and Cher meet again, red finds out he has a son (who’s nonbinary) and accepts them as is. What a wonderful open minded father Red is and how he just wants to get to know them. Cher and Red both held onto the time they shared as young lovers and are just as effected by each other so many years later. Their journey this time has more at stake but they seem to navigate through it keeping everyone’s feelings in mind. Seeing Red step up and be the father he could be is so great to see. I highly recommend this book and love how the author finished Red’s story.

I could not wait to read this, I fell in love with Emiliana and Stefano right from the start and read this book in one sitting. I was able to do that because I know that when I start a book by this author I never want to put it down so I made sure I chose a day I could just jump in and savor every word.
This was a perfect addition to this series. If you have not read these yet, you really must. This had me on the edge of my seat more than once and I found I couldn’t read fast enough because I had to know what was going to happen next! As usual the twists were placed perfectly and you never knew they were coming.
I love this author, she is among my favorites, and I’d read anything she writes. I can not wait for January when book 4 comes. I also can not wait to read all of these again back to back on a quiet rainy weekend!
