The Killer Jack Mystery (The J.D. Pierson Case Files)The Killer Jack Mystery by C.H. Sessums
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this mystery story. It is set in the 1930’s and the author does an amazing job of transporting the reader back to that time period. I love our lead character Jenny. She is a very determined young woman and faces danger head on to solve her case.

Jenny has been sent on the mission by her uncle who passed away. He fears she is in danger. All because of an expensive necklace she wears.

What happens next is a story that twists and turns as mystery gets deeper and more confusing. What Jenny doesn’t expect is that a routine search for missing jewellery would end up in several people dying.
Is Jenny going to be capable enough to solve this case or will she end up just risking herself by playing detective?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved how this novel was set up. With the radio station and the recipes after Every few chapters. This book screamed hallmark movie and I am here for it. I hope it does become a movie. It’s so cute. Graham’s determination to open his bakery despite the backlash from his (ex)girlfriend and the uncertainty of the reception he’d receive in his childhood town, is special. I thought the premise of his bakery was cute too. Cookies and matches. This is actually the first book I’ve read of the Cupid’s cove series and now I’m gonna read them all. I love lighthearted, feel good romance novels.

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a fascinating book! It follows Mercy who lives in a village where sorrow seems to follow all the women, keeping love just out of reach. The women have come to expect it and can’t seem to escape the clutches of La Llorona who thrills and feeds on their misery. Mercy wants more from life, but is scared to go after it because she fears she will just face the same fate of all the other women in the end. The author does an amazing job of tackling racism and misogyny as well as domestic violence which is unfortunately still so very prevalent in society. I just could not put this book down once I started it because I had to know what was going to happen next. Mercy is going to have to look deep within herself, face the past and truly get to know herself if she wants to have a real shot at happiness.

This is such a sweet romance. Graham and Lara are absolutely adorable together! The town of Cupid’s Cove sounds like the perfect Hallmark movie small town. I was drawn right into this book from the very first page and the cookie recipes that are sprinkled throughout the book made me love it even more! A bakery and a special app bring Graham and Lara together. They start out as rivals but quickly find themselves drawn to each other. Lara is the daughter of the Mayor though so that by itself is an obstacle that they have to overcome, along with a few more that pop up along the way. This is a really unique romance that you won’t want to miss and I am so excited to read more from this series.

Short and sweet are the words I would use to describe this book! It was light and definitely what I wanted to take my mind off the heavy. The main characters in the book are called Graham and Lara. They are great main characters and I liked watching their story unfold and all the messes they got into in their bakeries. Sparks flew between the two and so did the flour! I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Graham is ready for a change of pace. He decides to move and open a bakery. Where better could he use the gimmick of a dating app partnered with his bakery than a town named Cupid’s Cove. When Lara finds out about the family bakery’s new competition she does not understand how her father, the mayor, allowed this to happen. When Lara finds herself at Graham’s bakery unwanted sparks fly. Will only one bakery survive? Can they learn to co-exist? Will Lara and Graham act on their feelings?

I thoroughly enjoyed this novella. It was well written, had dynamic characters, and the scene was well set. It really was a quick light hearted read. While this was the first time I had read King, I will definitely be reading her previous books while waiting for the next in this series. My Valentine’s Day Cookie Match was worth the read.

This was an interesting read! I enjoyed the premise of the story, and the plot, whoever I had a bit of a time getting into it. I’m pretty sure it was just an off reading day, but I had trouble getting into the story and connecting with the characters. I enjoyed it and it was a really interesting story, I just couldn’t get into it. The story was entertaining, and the characters were very interesting. It was unique in a way I haven’t read before, especially with clowns. Very interesting. I would love to read this again one day just to make sure but I really think it was just an off reading day!

Crazy Clowns and ghosts
A fast paced paranormal adventure involving crazy clowns, ghosts and well developed characters. There was action that kept me turning the pages. The build up was lengthy which meant that the ending was a bit rushed but good nonetheless. This would make a wicked movie by the way. If you have a fear of clowns it could get a bit scary but that’s the thrill of the ride.

This was a great quick romantic read! You really get to know Emily and Des. I like how you get to read from both perspectives with alternating chapters. I always enjoy this author and her writing style is really fun and light. This story proves you can’t and shouldn’t judge someone based on what you hear. From first class embarrassment to some tear jerker parts this story is definitely worth the read!

Until there was youUntil there was you by G. Colgrove
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I made the mistake of starting it during my lunch hour and I couldn’t wait to get back to it. The author does a great job with her writing.

Regan is a southie, she has just graduated high school and her home life isn’t the greatest. Her boss at the diner is the only person that has really been there for her the last few years. While working at the diner some suits come in for lunch, this is where she meets Jeremy for the first time. As a server, I know the feeling that she had when they left her the lousy tip and loved it when he overheard her comment.

There is something about Regan that pulls Jeremy in. He finally convinces her to go on a date with him and with a twist of fate they end up starting their date a little earlier than expected.
Things move forward fairly quickly for these two. Regan isn’t ready to open up to Jeremy about her family, what will happen when he learns the truth? How will Jeremy’s family feel about Regan and where she comes from?

Overall this was a great read. I loved Regan and how sassy she could be, she was great for Jeremy. I also fell for Jeremy right along with Regan, I loved his honesty and how sweet he was with Regan. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story as well. If you’re looking for a great romance than 1-click and get started today on this one, you will be pulled right in. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Shock of Fate – Anchoress Series Book One by D. L. Armillei – Review by Darla Yocom

/0 Comments/in /by

Shock of Fate (Anchoress #1)Shock of Fate by D.L. Armillei
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoy coming of age stories since they typically include a complex network of characters, narrative and growth. In this book, the main character, “Van” Vanessa starts as a typical egotistical teenager who only focuses on herself, boys and her intended summer plans with friends. Her bff, Paley is similar from that perspective but to me, comes off as polar opposites when it counts. Perhaps that’s why they are friends? Opposites attract?

Van must literally grow up in a matter of moments once she learns that her mother was considered royalty, she may have been killed vs dying during childbirth, her father is missing, he screwed up at work, could be a traitor and possibly a murderer! After learning all of this and the fact that most of what she’s been told her entire life was a lie, she makes the more grown up decision to pursue the 30-day mission she is being assigned, along with a group of several other teens. One of them is the Anchoress, but their identity is hidden from the group until it is necessary.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a must read and flows well. You will not want to put it down. I think young adults and adults will enjoy this book.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars!

The chemistry that book two from the Powder River Pack series gave was phenomenal! Brooke May came in with a bang up second book! I thought the first one was good but this one was unreal! Brooke May is quickly becoming a favourite author of mine and I can’t wait to see what book 3 brings because this was pretty much the perfect paranormal book for me! The dynamic of the characters was something I found myself craving the more I got in the book! I couldn’t wait to see how the ending would turn out! Definitely think you could read as a standalone but hey, may as well not miss out on the other great books right?!

5/5 Stars

Until There Was You by G. Colgrove

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Until There Was You is a great book. Falling in love at first sight, troubles from the get go, and parents who don’t understand. I can’t wait for the next book from the author.

Regan is a townie and wants to get out of town. She doesn’t think her life will turn out to be anything and she’s pretty much given up. Enter Jeremy and now she’s questioning everything. The quote I chose for Regan is: “Honestly. Especially not you. My life is a train wreck and I hate the fact that you’ve seen as much as you have. You’re the only outsider I’ve ever let into my life. It was nice having someone see me for me and not judge me based on my family. Guess, I just wanted it to last a little bit longer than it did.”

Jeremy is a business man and has recently broken up with his girlfriend. When he goes into a diner across the street from a lot he just bought he meets Regan. He finds that she is exactly what he’s looking for in a woman. The quote I chose for Jeremy is: “Maybe now you’ve learned your lesson. Next time, Southie, just come home with me when I ask instead of making me persuade you to the point where we’re fucking in the middle of the street. Deal?”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

I really wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, when I started reading it. This book is very well written that has many twists and turns that left me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen next. It did have a little bit of a slow start but once it got going it just didn’t stop. This is a YA paranormal book is a cross between supernatural and coming of age which kept it very entertaining. The characters are so well developed, that Abbey who has a power of seeing ghosts. High school drama, secrets, dead clowns, creepiness, intensity, suspense, mysteriousness and dramatic are just a few words that really describe this amazing book. Highly recommend.

I honestly went into this not knowing what to expect. I was drawn to this book because the description seemed very interesting. This is a YA paranormal read and it’s very good. It’s a bit of a slow start, but it gets really good once it gets going. Because of the slower start I was a little confused about the clowns but once everything gets explained, it all makes sense.

Abbey has the ability not only to see, but to interact with ghosts. After visiting the circus with her parents she starts to see clowns everywhere. When her fellow students start turning up missing she has a feeling that the clowns are connected. Will her ability help her to find her missing classmates or will it only make things worse?

I enjoy reading book that have to do with anything paranormal/supernatural. This is only the second book I have read that has dealt with clowns, but it was a good one. I can’t say for sure I’m scared if clowns, but I DEFINITELY wouldn’t want to be seeing dead clowns everywhere I look. I really should have been asleep a whole ago since I have a long day or work ahead of me tomorrow, BUT I couldn’t resist! This book was a page turner and I needed to find out how it ended. I am a first time reader of this author and look forward to reading more of his work.

The Traveler: Book 2The Traveler: Book 2 by Deborah Dugan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed The Traveler so leapt at the chance to read Book 2. It didn’t disappoint! Book 2 brings us loads more of Harry’s backstory, which is fascinating, as well as developing the present-day story. I would only recommend this book to people who have read Book 1 – I think it would come across as a bit slow and confusing if you’re not coming at it from that angle. So if you’re reading this review and haven’t read Book 1 I would put that at the top of your tbr list!
At the end of Book 1, Harry went into stasis – an incredibly long and deep sleep that would allow him to replenish his energy and heal his body. While he is in stasis, he dreams of some of the many lives he has lived before and these make up the bulk of the story. These are fantastic, taking us to a variety of moments in history and seeing how different humans have responded to Harry in these times. These stories in themselves are very engaging, and at times emotionally moving.
Meanwhile, we get to keep up with what’s going on in the world Harry left behind as he sleeps. We see Tristan recovering from the emotional rollercoaster of the first book – I was very grateful to see him still in the story.
This book gets five stars from me! I can’t wait to read the next one! I would recommend the series to readers of sci-fi and fantasy who are looking for something entertaining, thought-provoking and original.

This was a cute romantic quick read. This story takes place in a small town called Cupids Cove. This story had me laughing and enjoying all the sweet moments. There are some great characters in this book. The chemistry between the two main characters was jumping off the page. I have read other books by this author and I am never disappointed. Graham has just left his corporate job to start his new business in this small town. Lara finds out there is competition with her family bakery and she is unhappy about the situation. What will come of their attraction? Can they get past the fact that they are in competition? Did I mention that Lara is the Mayor’s daughter. There was some great banter between characters in this book. This is a good read and it’s my suggestion that you don’t miss out.

(Un)Loved (Mixed Emotions, #1)(Un)Loved by Katy Hunter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked it but I was confused at the beginning, to the point I almost started over. Instead I kept reading (Un)loved. About two people who love each other but are so broken they can’t be together.
It’s sad and happy all at the same time. The author makes you feel for the two main characters.
Sophie and Gil are actors just finishing up a movie they filmed together. A film that made them both of them broke the number #1 rule. “Don’t fall in love with your co-star.” The love they have for one another is fierce, but both characters are emotionally broken which leads to a toxic relationship.
It’s all about navigating how they feel for one another while trying to figure out who they are as individuals.
Do they end up together?
What choices about life does each character make?
These are just some questions that come to mind while reading this book. Of course if you’re like me, you will be rooting for them, unfortunately their situation doesn’t make a relationship easy, if successful at all.
If you like getting involved with the character’s feeling like you’re in the story with them, I suggest you give this book a shot. Since that’s exactly how it makes one feel.

Can I just start by saying WOW!!! I loved the cross between this coming of age and supernatural novel!!! Abbey has a well developed power of seeing ghosts. One day after a jaunty journey to the circus and back dead clowns start appearing at her high school and people start going missing. This is one of the books that once you pick up you can’t put down so fair warning there. It is a really great story and the characters are so well developed that they really drive the story. Being as this was my first book by this novel I am thrilled to say I have found a new favorite author to add to my list!

Horror and mystery lovers line up! This novel is everything a horror obsessed teen/adult could want. Any reader will fall in love with Abbey from the get-go. Besides being a loving teen, she has a special sense that allows her not only to see the dead, but also to interact with them. The suspense keeps this novel alive from beginning to end. You will not want to put this book down once you start.

From character development to world-building to detail, I am honestly surprised more people have not gotten their hands on this book. I definitely expect to see it on BookTok in the near future!

I thoroughly enjoyed this fun, lighthearted romantic comedy, which kept me happily turning the pages. Set in the old town of Cupid’s Cove, where “Love is Everything”, the author really made the setting come alive, making me feel immersed in the story. The storyline focuses on the town’s mayors daughter Lara and new comer Graham. Graham is a marketing specialist who’s opening his own bakery alongside his newly developed dating app, which matches couples through their taste buds. However, Lara works for the competition, her mother’s bakery. Can the couple put their differences aside and take the ‘cookie match challenge’, and maybe find true love together. I loved the main characters, Graham and Lara were likeable and relatable, and their chemistry came across strongly in the narrative. I was cheering them on hoping they would get their HEA, this is an enjoyable and engaging heartwarming read.
