My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Carrie Pulkinen’s Swipe Right to Bite is a quick paced hilarious read. While being the sixth in the series, this book can be read as a stand alone. In New Orleans, Katrina, a succubus, uses her hook up app as a way to fast from her sexual urges. She hopes staying low key will have Satan forgetting about her and will get him to grant her freedom. In comes Gabe, an incubus, offering lectures on the importance of emotional intimacy in a relationship as well of not using dating/hookup apps. What could go wrong? Katrina and Gabe start off on the wrong foot, showing their demon sides as a way to get back at each other. Slowly each starts to realize the assumptions they made were wrong. After working through a handful of hiccups with the help of friends the two finally get their happily ever after.

Master Trentino (Masters of the Consulate Book 3) by Sylvia Black – Review by Lauren Schnoebelen

Master TrentinoMaster Trentino by Sylvia Black
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.25⭐️

When Trentino enters the home of the Mancino brothers to cover his people as they recover what was stolen from them. Unbeknownst to him, their sister wakes to check what is going on. Angel senses someone in the house but she’s not sure if actually someone or her dead grandmother trying to talk with her like always. Then a vampire traps her in a moment filled with fear but many something more. It only starts to become clear what that was when her home gets attacked, her brother killed, and this vampire enters finding her on the floor bleeding out. Though she’s grown to hate them, her life might just be saved thanks to one. Risking the needs of the community, Trentino will figure out why the Mancinos were attacked and how it connects the efforts being made to discredit and destroy the vampire community.

I actually found myself linking Angel a lot more than I anticipated. I think a lot had to do with the fact that I really struggled in the beginning because though these books are pretty decent and quick reads in the moment you’re reading them, I personally find it really hard to remember what happened. I found a lot of the time that I was struggling to remember who some of the main characters were and what their roles were within the vampire community. I will say that the author’s strongest skill lay in her romantic and smut scenes. With that being said, it took me a long time to realize that there was a larger overarching plot that would last several more books after what I was reading. Additionally, I find it frustrating that the main heroines continue to follow very similar paths of finding their mates and becoming vampires. On a positive though, I really liked how even though Angel wasn’t sure how much she wanted to be a vampire, she dedicated herself to figuring it out and had many great scenes with the other female characters. Overall, I agree with the one master’s comment at the end regarding his perspective on the rules being broken.

Forbidden Mate (The Shadow Chronicles Book 2) by CR Robertson – Review by Santana Hicks

Forbidden MateForbidden Mate by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the second instalment of The Shadow Chronicles. It takes place a few months after the first book. Tasha, a vampire, and Levi, a lycan, are mates. To be able to be together, Levi wrote a treaty to bring the two races together to fight a 3rd supernatural species that was annihilating both races.

Even though the war between the two races is slowly coming to an end, it still isn’t time for the couple to settle down. Tasha possesses powers and everything seems to want to get to her.
Tasha’s powers are growing stronger and even more enemies are appearing. It’s one thing after another.

I recommend reading this series, it is full of action and romance all wrapped up in supernatural mystery. I loved the first two books and will definitely be reading the next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This has to be one of my favourite series. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but this series is one that’s worth going back to read.

Gabe and Katrina are possibly my favourite couple so far! They say opposites attract, and these guys couldn’t be more different. Katrina runs a dating app and has a casual outlook on all things love. Gabe believes love is so much more and stuff teaches people about intimacy.
As always with this author, the book had me laughing out loud. The chemistry between Gabe and Katrina runs throughout the whole story, and the friction between them makes for a fun and feisty read. This is a paranormal story like you’ve never read before.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the perfect book for me to pick up now that the stressful holidays are over. I needed the fun, romance, and laughter this book brought.
Katrina is a sex demon, determined to gain her freedom from Satan, hopefully by lying low and fasting. She is the only sex demon in New Orleans going on 100 years, at least until Gabe. Katrina has introduced a new hook up app just for supernatural beings and Gabe comes to town with a seminar on how to become more intimate with your partner without sex. The back and forth hijinks made me laugh out loud. Can Gabe make a deal with Satan to free Katrina without her knowing? Will Katrina and Gabe give in to the chemistry obviously brewing between them?
This is the first book I have read in this series and if they are all as laughter inducing as this one, I am going to eat them all up! Great way to start the new year with a good book!

We are once again matched up with Levi and Tasha. Along with their crews of lycans, witches, and vampires together.

The peace accords have been made however there is still the threat of the Hellspawn. We join as they fight to get rid of them once and for all. Along with discovering certain magical aspects of themselves at the same time.

This was a wonderful conclusion to this trilogy. I highly enjoyed every moment of it and it wasn’t something that I was able to put down. I am sad that this is the last of their story together but very happy with the way that it was wrapped up and concluded.

This isn’t your typical end of the world book. It’s filled with humor and teenage angst. It’s harnessed with pain, laughter, and hope. I was hooked from the first line.
The main characters are developed beautifully. Kella is stronger than she realizes and I love Huck. Stargazer is one of the sweetest people I’ve read about. She’s smart, brave, and a fighter. Finch is Interesting. Like a father figure but at the same time crushable. The story made me reflect on my own skills and how’d I’d manage a pandemic of this level. The last chapter had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I didn’t even realize I was at the end of the book. I cannot wait for another book. I need more.

Wow! Really there is not much I can fully put into words to describe the journey you go on when you read this book! When I first stumbled across this book, I was intrigued by the premise and wanted to know more. From the very beginning of the book, the author tosses the reader feet first into her world. She truly builds a world where the reader can picture exactly everything that is happening. There are so many questions and every time we find an answer more questions come up. This was an amazing story and it has a sequel I can’t wait to read!

Although I haven’t read previous books in this series, this book is good as a stand-alone read. This book has older teens on the cusp of adulthood, as well as young adults who are all struggling with who to trust during a catastrophic portion of their lives. There is an epidemic, there are masks, there are vaccines- all of which eerily parallel some of today’s issues. If you are looking for a captivating story that you simply can’t put down, then you have found it! You’ll have to excuse me now, as I need to track down the rest of the books- I’d like to read them, and have them in my classroom for early finishers to read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

This was such an interesting story to read. After I had read the synopsis something about the story had me intrigued, it’s not usually something I would read but I thought I would give it a go and I really did enjoy it. The author’s writing was brilliant, really engaging and I found that the characters were really relatable. The main character, Lizbeth, had a real determination about her and I was really willing her to overcome the obstacles in her way to find out what she wanted to find out about and fill in some of those important family missing blanks.
Overall, this was a lovely read, somewhat unexpected and one that I would highly recommend.

Blindsided: A Contemporary Sports RomanceBlindsided: A Contemporary Sports Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After the betrayal this book had my heart racing! I almost love/hate books that have the central character taunted for being themselves, literally boils my blood. With that being said, this book had me immersed in the story.
The only issues I had with the story are 1. The climax was not in middle but at the end. Although it did have a couple of pages of a resolution and a nice epilogue I feel there needed to a little more resolution. 2. There was a lot of unnecessary filler pages. Now without adding spoilers there was plenty of character building but it was almost too much for this type of story. 3. The cover – it really deflects the energy this book gives. The two cover “characters” make it seem this book is set in the 80’s with 2 people in their late 20s and that’s not the story at all. 4. Yes, there is a theme of sports, since the two main characters enjoy football, however, I don’t think this makes it a sports story. This may deflect readers from the core themes of the story which is — betrayal, childhood friendship, and bullying.

Other than the issues I’ve described it really is worth a read!

Gabe and Katrina are two sex demons who have opposite ideas when it comes to what people need in a relationship. What comes first, the intimacy or the emotion? Plus, can demons even fall in love? You’ll find out as you watch the relationship between Gabe and Katrina unfold. Funny and fast-paced, this book was a great read.

This book was not what I was expecting. It was incredibly much much more. This is not your everyday high school bully romance book. It has many twists and turns which leave your mouth hanging open. You will have to reread a few sentences throughout the book because you won’t believe that, yes, that actually happened. This book is really well written and was a huge page turner for me. This is my first book by this author and I can officially say I will be reading more. The writing style sucks you in and the story line keeps you there. The characters in this book are spot on. I couldn’t see this book without the characters in it, like it just made sense. This book also has STEAM to it. I am so invested in these characters that I hope all of them get their own story. You will fall in love, have your heart ripped out, be stitched back together, get angry, smile with vindictiveness, and have a happily ever after. What else do you need from a book? NOTHING!! AMAZING!! This is a must read for 2022.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Exiled South started off a little slower and different than I imagined. However, the hardships the main character, Lizbeth, faces in the beginning of the book help push her to continue her journey later in the story. Harriet Cannon delivered wonderful characters and amazing settings from around the world! I enjoy genealogy and familial history so this was definitely a book I could got into. I found Lizbeth a little too sensitive during some of the more tense situations, but it made her character that much more believable. I enjoyed the author’s use of illustrative writing when describing the various places in the story, from the shoreline of South Carolina, to the beaches of the Bahamas and Rio de Janeiro. I look forward to reading more from Harriet Cannon in the future.

Tally and the Angel Book Two, CanadaTally and the Angel Book Two, Canada by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Highly recommend for a fun, adventurous read! A fun middle school novel!

4.5 stars rounded up.

This novel likely car be read by advanced readers in 5th grade or anyone in middle school. I know there were some words I needed to look up, which I enjoy. This novel does reference some of the people Tally met while in India, book 1 in the series, but Canada holds up on its own as a stand alone.

Here, Tally’s dad is so proud of her for her strength and job well done since arriving in India that he takes her on a trip to the Yukon in Canada. Talk about one extreme temperature to another!

I really enjoyed the small tidbits of real world things that are talked about in the beginning, (nose hairs freezing anyone?!) and how life differs when you’re somewhere that gets so cold. I enjoyed meeting the new supporting cast, Mar, Earl, Amka, etc. and who could forget about the sled dogs!

Of course this wouldn’t be an adventurer novel without an adventure (besides the setting of middle of nowhere, Yukon, Canada). Here, Tally must help people in a local village to figure out a riddle/mystery. We see more of Jophiel, the Angel, and his influence on Tally, as well as imparting life lessons. There is some mysticism that occurs, which as a fantasy reader I thoroughly enjoyed.

I highly recommend this novel for fun and adventure.

While this is book six in the series if you haven’t read the previous books, you can moat certainly read this one as a stand alone. This paranormal romance is fun, sexy, and humorous. The plot and the characters are phenomenal, and the word building is increidble. Katrina has a phenomenal dating app going in New Orleans and is enjoying her success, but what happens when sexy Gabe enters the picture? Will sparks fly? Will there be perfect chemistry?You’ll have to read this increible paranormal romance to find out for yourself.

This is the first book I have read by this author. Like many people, I’d love to know more about my family history and this story sure stirred up some interest in looking into things. I really connected with Lisbeth as she digs into her family’s past, finding interesting details in her family history, what it was like during and after the civil war for them. The author did a wonderful job of showing how our choices lead to unexpected consequences. The story covered multiple generations and was easy to read and kept my interest. There are some tough points in the book that may be uncomfortable or may trigger some readers.

The traveler is this being that can take power over all.
But one human can be the savior or demise of man kind.
There are morals to this story that had me hooked.
By the end I did not know how to feel and I love it
So many different adventures go on in this story and I am telling you I may be addicted.
There is a book two and I cant wait.
Love the characters and the worlds that are created it is so creative and defined.
This is a top tier sci-FI read.

I’m going to start my review by saying this: I have never wrote a book, I have no intentions of writing one, and I never plan to get a booth at a con. However, if I ever were to do so, this book had a lot of good advice on doing so and how to go about it! The author included checklists, life stories about her experiences, and well meaning advice. For a quick help guide I thought this was very practical and straight to the point. For an author or artist trying to get involved in a con I highly recommend this book! I think it could help anyone who’s wanting to get out there and do it!

Such a fun read right from the start! This is my first read in this series, but I did not feel lost at all, so I don’t think its necessary to read the others before this one. That being said, I definitely intend to catch up cause this book was great!

Katrina is a fiery succubus who is trying to fly under Satan’s radar to eventually be free from him, making her one frustrated demon! Gabe is an incubus who made a deal for his freedom, making him a little limp (IYKYK). Its too bad for them that their ventures cause them to clash, making New Orleans far too small for both. On the bright side, their clash definitely makes this an interesting read that you wont want to put down. The real question is, are they fooling each other, or themselves? Dun, dun, dun!!!

Seriously, if you are looking for a hilarious, steamy, and lite read with an HEA, pick up this book!

I have been following this series from the beginning and could not wait to read this next installment. The hilarious style of writing, along with some steamy scenes and such memorable, unique characters are what really make this series so wonderful. The author has hit another home run with this one. Katrina and Gabe are great main characters, so good each on their own, but their interactions with each other are so much better. They are flawed, but they try. This is what makes them so believable. They love, although at least one of them isn’t quite sure exactly what that is. Putting a succubus and incubus together in this way was genius on the author’s part. The story around them is so good and fun, I could not put it down.

This book is not meant for the kiddies, but if you like your Paranormal Romance with steamy comments/scenes and snarky characters that aren’t afraid to swear, you need to pick up this book. It can be read as a stand-alone but I recommend the whole series because they are just that good!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Exiled South” starts as a devastating loss that turns into a narrative of reconnecting with the self. The story is full of rich knowledge, depicting the history of the Southern states. The changing narratives and timelines brought an impactful force to the reader, giving feelings to the facts of history and a face to the people who lived during that time. An easy and good read for historical fiction junkies. My only qualm is some of the language the author used and the implied sympathy for the colonizers. Otherwise, great novel!

Brock and Kirsa were best friends growing up. After Kirsa’s parents build her a treehouse, they end up bringing new people into their tiny group. In the beginning, everything is going great until something happens and everything changes. Brock ends up mad at Kirsa and ends up staying mad for a very long time. Kirsa ends up being bullied by many people they go to school with because of Brock’s promise to make her life difficult. During her senior year, Kirsa meets Rylan and he becomes a really good friend because he doesn’t mind standing up to Brock. Eventually, the truth is revealed, and Brock realizes that all these years he has been believing lies. He ends up regretting how he has been treating her. I really liked this book. In the beginning, I did not enjoy how Krisa was being treated, but I did really enjoy this book!
