Been a while since I read a psychological Thriller and this had me gripped to my seat until I finished it. Con and Neve both work in the same hospital although Neve has had some time off due to being stabbed. When she starts work again she feels that something odd is going on at the hospital and wants to get to the bottom of it, with Cons help but is everything as it appears to be?

This is the 3rd book in this dark mafia romance series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but it makes sense to read them in order to get the best enjoyment of the series and not give yourself spoilers. I have been a huge fan of this author since the very first book of hers that I read and she continues to produce amazing books that I just lose myself in and this book is another one of those. In this book we get the story of underboss Stefano Rossi and mafia princess Emiliana Vitale. Both have been in love with each other for years but due to Stefano’s cruel mafia boss father, they have had to keep their feelings under wraps and try to stay away from each other as much as possible. I absolutely loved Stefano and Emiliana’s story. It’s very angsty as the two of them try to keep apart and I do love a good angsty story. As with the other romantic suspense novels by this author, as well as the romance storyline, there is also another storyline running alongside, that of the mafia family and the dangers surrounding them. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline that runs through this book and could not put this book down. This author is definitely a master (or is it mistress?) or writing amazing romantic suspense and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

This is book 3 in the Mafia Elite series. I love this authors writing. The characters are really well written and I love them all. Even though it is a Mafia Romance where the men are strong and protective of what is there’s the women are also equally strong and determined.
This story is a bit of a Romeo and Juliet story. A man and a woman from 2 different Mafia families fall in love but it isn’t possible for them to be together. All because of Stefano’s father. He is a horrible, dangerous man who will stop at nothing to keep Stefano in line. Even if that means hurting the woman he loves Emiliana.
Emiliana is also dealing with her own demons after her kidnapping, she struggles to control the darkness that has awoken inside her. The only light in her life is the love of Stefano and she is counting down the days till they can be together. The problem is Stefano’s father needs to be out of the picture. But before Stefano can take over his family they need to find the rat that is buried somewhere in the families causing trouble and putting lives in danger. But who is the rat? Is it Stefano’s father? Could he be working with the Russans? Or is it someone closer to home.
This book is full of adventure, danger and passion. It is a Mafia Romance written in a way that keeps you guessing and wanting more.

This is a Children’s book and is 26 pages in length. My boys are 7 and 10 and still believe. My 7-year-old, however, has started asking questions because he has been hearing things at school. I read this to them. I know I for one am not looking forward to the day they find out. I love how the author found a child’s way to keep the belief alive and the illustrations were wonderful! This is one of those books that should be handed down for generations to come.

Fall to Pieces is a tense romantic suspense that’s impossible to put down! Lexi’s career and mental health are threatened by the loss of her husband and the surrounding circumstances. When a new case turns up that reopens old wounds, just when she is being investigated by Internal Affairs, Lexi has to fight to cling on to her job and sanity. And, of course, solve the case. Arthur Book is a chillingly scary villain. He’s an expert in manipulation and seems able to, literally, get away with murder. I found myself anxiously turning the page, worried about when he would next show up. And there are some twists and turns as Lexi tries to learn more about him to find a vulnerability she can exploit. Lexi has a great support network, and I love this cast of characters. Trudy and Buzz were my particular favourites! They’re interesting characters in their own right and there to support Lexi or help further the plot where needed. Xavier is an interesting character, and I like that he has complex motivations and a backstory. He makes a good foil to Lexi – grounded and reaching out to others while she tries to isolate herself. This book gets five stars from me. I couldn’t put it down! I really hope we get more stories with these characters. I’d recommend it to fans of police dramas and mysteries.

At this point I’m starting to sound like a broken record but my goodness this series is phenomenal, a must read!!! This Mafia series is one of the best I’ve ever read, it’s intense, dramatic, action-packed, mysterious, shocking, twisted and so complex. I would highly recommend reading this series in order as each new book follows the last.
Just like the other books of this series I read this one in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading, once I started I couldn’t stop until I reached the very end. I loved everything about this book, it might actually be my favorite of the series!!
If you are looking for your next Mafia read look no further, this is the series for you!!

This book carries a great message for all of us, great acts are made of small deeds. I read this to my 6-year-old and she found humor out of the things the cat was able to do, such as read and ride a bike. After we finished the story, we talked about some small acts that we have done, or we could do in the future to be great. The lesson you take away from this story is one that will go far. A great story for all kids to listen to or read on their own. I would have enjoyed more illustrations, especially for the younger kids to reflect on but overall, great story.
So, after finishing this and having read most of Ms. McKinley’s books now, I have come to the conclusion that she could write the phone book and make it addictive reading! Seriously!!! If you have yet to pick up one of her many books, what are you waiting for? You will kick yourself for missing out this long. Born in Darkness is another gem in Ms. McKinley’s crown- a stellar mafia romance, it is the third book in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. A masterfully woven romantic suspense story with action, violence, mafia politics, second chances, family dynamics, friendship, chemistry, sizzle, secrets, drama, intrigue, tension, and edge of your seat developments. This book is Stefano and Emiliana’s story, I was excited to dive in and honestly say Ms. McKinley doesn’t rest on her laurels here, she ups the ante yet again, grabbing me right from the get-go and had me flipping the pages to find out what happens, all while proving once again that this series just gets better and better with each new release. If you haven’t read the previous two books, I highly recommend that you do, as not only are they fantastic stories in their own rights, they also contain important information that will help you better appreciate this story, as well as building a bigger picture. I love this series and the wonderfully complex characters that take centre stage here. I have a serious addiction to Ms. McKinley’s stories and need my next fix stat- Book #4 can’t come soon enough and looks set to be brilliant!!! Take my word for it- if you love mafia romance, romantic suspense, wonderfully developed characters, depth, and addictive reading- then you definitely won’t want to miss this exciting story or series!!! Happy reading!

This installment brings us the development between Emiliana Vitale and Stefano Rossi. If you have read the previous novels, you will have some more information on them and the others that we have read about so far, and I really enjoy feeling as though we have already gotten to know a bit about these characters before delving deeper into their love story. Poor Em suffers from PTSD from her abduction a few years prior, where our knight in shining armor came to carry her right out of hell. Stefano has had to deal with his own ‘darkness’ being the son of Frank, devil incarnate, and has struggled with keeping his distance from Em only to keep her safe. I for one, was swept off my feet by their love story.
I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this new installment to this series. I have had my sleuth hat on from the very first novel, and I was very much looking forward to knowing whether I was right in my assumptions. I absolutely adore the way this author reels you in, and feeds you information, but with the twists and turns, and introductions of new characters, doubt creeps in. Of course, I won’t tell you who the rat in the Five Families was, but I was very proud of my skills. Another one for the books, highly recommend!

There is nothing more exciting to me as seeing this third book in this series is all about Emiliana! I awas beyond excited with to read and watch the chemistry between Emiliana and Stefano develop in this amazing book! This book has everything you could want: danger, mystery, violence, secrets, and how can you not love the steamy chemistry?? I am in love with this entire series and this book is another hit!
I loved watching Emiliana develop her strength and ability to overcome traumatic events in her life that involve the mofia boss…who happens to be Stefano’s dad. I also love how strong Stefano is in this book. He has gone through more than anyone should have to and still is a fierce figure in this story.
This second book in this series does not disappoint and had me so captivated that I could not bring myself to put this book down. I love how it picks right up from the first book. You get to be a part of the character’s lives as they grow and develop more in front of your eye. More pieces of the puzzle come together from the first book. I have to say that the author did an amazing job tying the two books together. And yet, I want more. Definitely a great read!

Practically Pagan An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria Deblassie
I readily admit that a covers holds some major weight to whether or not I even pick up a book to see if it will hold interest to me, so when mere sentences into this book, Declassified touches on the very topic: “ …This book is magic. All books are. So much so that they are picky about who picks them up and reads them. They only want people ready to hear their message, kindred spirits eager to soak up their specific brand of magic.” Thus begins our journey of gentle reminders that magic is not just something we read about or watch via our various sized screens but daily life, be it the magic of a sunset, a peaceful moment of self reflection and grounding ourselves in the simple moments of life. Deblassie reminds us that we are deserving of “pleasure magic” no matter how often society attempts to make us feel guilty to taking time to “tune into what soothes the soul and refreshes the senses without guilt, without shame, without comparing your journey to others.” A bit of a gut punch reality in this world of social “achievements”

WOW!!! Such an amazing read! This is not a book I would normally pick up to read, but as soon as I started reading I could not stop! The adventure of Anna going to Berlin to discover the history within her family is just one amazing event after the next. I was saddened and also happy with Anna’s relationship with Fredrick, I guess the traditions and values that get passed down through each generation are hard to let go of. Her adventures are so fantastical, and that she gets to meet all of these different people along the way, and read of her grandmother’s story and what she endured in her life is beautiful. I was happy to see her find that connection to her family, and be able to give her grandfather the information on her grandmother that they were both wondering about. That time period was a terrible time for the world, so also reading about how she lived through that time period was very moving and very haunting. I can’t say enough good things about this book, I wish I could erase it all from my mind and re read it all over again for the first time. I highly recommend this book to anyone, no matter what genre you like.

I did not read the first 2 books in the series but, I would definitely recommend reading them to get some background on what is going on. I can say I still enjoyed this book. I love to see dragon shifters, because most of the time it’s wolves or bears. Delta and Jax are lovely together, I really enjoyed watching Jax toy with the emotion that Delta couldn’t be his soulmate because she is a shaman, but his reoccurring dreams featuring her, and a chance meeting while saving her from a sorceress cements the reality that they are destined to be together. They work together to defeat the most powerful vampire and along the way the love between them sparks. Their romance is steamy and sweet. I look forward to seeing more of them.

This book to me, is the perfect way to explain blindness or visual impairments. The author gives tests or activities you can try at home to get a small taste of what it is like for someone with a visual impairment. I liked the info on Braille, I am happy that there was an alphabet made for the visually impaired to “read” it is a very cleaver system. I am also very happy to see that there have been many changes in the world to adapt to those who are impaired visually to be able to live out their everyday lives with some “normalcy”. This book really made me think about how I view things in my life and what I take for granted.
This is not my usual genre, most of the time I don’t really put too much credence into thoughts like this, but throughout this whole book I really starting seeing things in a new light. I am officially on board to finding my magic! There are so many different ways to finding the magic within yourself and implementing it in your everyday life. What really stuck out to me was, “Do one thing each day that makes you happy.” and “That’s how magic works: dream it up, then work towards it.” Both are very simple and easy tasks that I can handle and make work for me in my life. One thing that really opened my eyes was the story of the ladybug stuck in the spider web. I would have never thought of the “synchronicity” of the situation like the author did and it really made me start to think about the little signals or signs I receive in my life. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend giving it a read, it will seriously change your outlook on creating magic in your life.

Excellent ending to the Dark Sparrow series. I was happy to finally get to see what was going on with Lazarus and to see if he would get his own happily ever after. As with the first five books in the series, this author really has a way with getting you hooked. Sasha is such a strong and independent woman, and she seems like just the right type of woman that Lazarus would need by his side. The trauma she has to go through while being held captive and then fighting Jamison alongside everyone else makes her truly awesome to me. Lazarus, like all his brothers before, acts like Sasha needs protected and can’t defend herself, and I know it is all for fear of losing her, but we know she is a total baddie and could handle anything that is thrown at her. I wish the ending was a little more dramatic, but I was very satisfied especially with the epilogue.

For me this book was even better than the first book. I really connected with Enzo and Sofia. This book had suspense, intrigue, a lot of action, and also gives a little history into the relationship going back to when they were six and eight years old. I enjoyed how the sub characters that were in book one were also in book 2 and that as each book goes you can see the intense camaraderie that flourishes. This author does a great job at storytelling hitting all of the right notes and bringing you completely into the fold. This is my first mafia series and it has not let me down I can’t wait to see all of the secrets come out one by one because throughout the series so far there definitely are several that leave you with your mouth hanging open and on the edge of your seat I love how this authors mind works. Now onto book 3.
Hell is about to break loose. The battle of dark and light. Can Isra and Astrid be saved? This was an intense story. I have followed this series and it has not failed to keep me intrigued. The characters are intense and relatable. The struggles are real (yes, cliche but true) but you can feel their pain. Life is a battle of good and evil. Can Samuel get to them to avoid this battle breaking out? It gets tense. There’s drama, romance, mystery, and adventure. I can’t tell you more but I can tell you to read this book. Shoot, read the series. You’ll laugh, tear up, and feel the whole gamut of emotions. I highly recommend you do.

This author is one of my favorites. Her characters are strong, well-written and the story is always driven with a KAPOW climactic ending. This series does not fail. You get sucked in at the beginning with the action and just don’t want to leave. This mafia family is twisted and all these guys want is to get out. You can’t help but find yourself rooting for them. They go through some pretty tough challenges but will their love make it? You are going to have to read it to find out. This is one series that will keep you active and involved. Highly recommend. I would give it more than 5 if I could.

This story was so good and a heart breaker at the same time. They both had gone through some of life’s tough challenges and had come out a little rough on the other side and then more crap was coming but he decided to be on her side. I found myself tearing up several times, smiling and rooting for them several times. An emotional story that will suck you in and you want to know how it turns out. The characters are relatable and the plot just won’t let you go. It’s a story that could happen anywhere around us. I would definitely recommend it. I want to read more from this author. Loved this book.

One of the most fascinating stories I’ve read this year. I enjoyed the way it was told. The story stretched out as it was over the years added to the mystery. The characters were so realistic and relatable that it felt like I was reading a biography of a war journal. A very well-written and well done novel that many who love adventure, mystery and romance might enjoy. You have got to read this book. It will be a wonderful treat.

I enjoyed this sci-fi adventure story. This is a new author for me which I enjoyed her writing style and attention to details. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters and the adventure they took me on. They are relatable and keep the story engaging. This is a faster paced story that was hard to put down. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen on the next page. This is a story about a traveler that the further they go the more knowledge is gained along with emotions such as anger, joy and love. It is a great story that you don’t know what will happen until it does. I highly recommend this book, it is a great pick up.

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous books to help enhance not only your enjoyment of this series but also this author. I enjoy this author’s writing style as well as her attention to details. Her stories are realistic and hard to put down. This book is no different. This is a well written story about Delta and Jackson. She is a shop owner and shaman and is about to take an adventure of her life. He thinks that he has returned home to die until he meets her. This is where the story takes on soul mates, secrets and destiny. You don’t want to miss what happens next with these two. They are great strong characters that are creative and made the story come to life. They pulled me into the story and took me on a nonstop adventure. This is a great book that is worth the pick up for sure. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This is a wonderful book. As a vision impaired person, I found it be quite helpful and entertaining to use with my grandson. We loved the descriptions of items in the book such as popcorn and babies. The activities started many interesting conversations. A wonderful resource that we will use again because it was nice to actually use these activities to learn and have family time. I love finding books that the author helps people become aware of other’s abilities. Thanks for sharing! Highly recommend.
This is the third book in this series which is just as awesome as the previous two books. I highly suggest reading the previous two books to help your enhancement of this series. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. Her books are well written and her attention to details just makes her stories pop. This book is no different. I was pulled into the story by the characters from the beginning. They are connectable and keep the story engaging. This is a faster paced story that is full of action and romance. Stefano has a destiny of being kind. He is biding his time just waiting for that to happen, not only is he waiting for that but also for the woman he loves to be by his side. Emiliana fell in love with the one man who is off limits to her. As their relationship grows so do the enemies. How far will he go to keep her safe and at his side? I loved their growth and chemistry throughout the story. They truly made the story fun and entertaining to read. I also loved the growth of the plot that kept me wanting to know more. This is a must read and I highly recommend it.

FIVE STARS Lazarus is the man to end his father. After many many years of destruction, deceit, lies and so many other things. But keeping Sasha away and keeping her out of his mind and heart are proving to be impossible. This book is full of suspense and tension. It is a fabulous read. I have never read any of the other books in the series and while yes I could tell there was a back story with Lazarus and Sasha, it did not keep me from knowing and understanding what was taking place in this final book of this series. The author really keeps you guessing and trying to help them figure out where the old man is. A real page turner. KLH

If you love a good mystery that keeps you turning the page, this one is it. A romance that bloomed out of an investigation and murder case kept it interesting. I loved the complexity of Lexi. Just when you think you have her pinned down personality-wise, she surprises you with something she says or does. Xavier Knight has been sent to investigate Lexi, and he isn’t ready for the situation. The author did a great job with building the relationship which comes across as very realistic. Just wow!

The Crown of Stones: Magic Price by C.L. Schneider
Narrated by Joey S. Bosco
Five Stars
This is the first book in the Crown of Stones trilogy. Magic Price is the amazing beginning of this awesome series. Ian Troy is a Soldier Shinree. When he finds and uses the Crown Of Stones, his life spins out of control. After ten years of running, he must make a difficult decision to lead the resistance and learn to harness the magic to save the Realm and his people, the Shinree. He learns the truths about his heritage. The world that Schneider created with this trilogy is truly brilliant, so detailed it feels like you are part of what’s happening and can personally interact with the characters because you know them so well.
This is the first book I have listened to by this narrator. He really makes the story amazingly lifelike. I enjoyed his voice and inflections of the different characters. I have read these books before I got the Audiobook, but I appreciate the story more with the audio. I recommend this trilogy to anyone who loves sci-fi, fantasy or just plain action adventure. I suggest if you’re going to read it start at the beginning with The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price, Magic-Scars and finally Magic-Borne. This series is amazing and magical!
