This is an intensely chilling thriller. Lila Dayne is a survivor of a serial killer attack. She is a deputy now with the local law enforcement office. Some sick monster places the worlds “Hush my darling” on a dead body. Now she is freaked out and Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit is determined to find out what the heck is going on. So well-written that I had chills. The story descriptions were so very detailed and just made you feel like you were there. The reliving of her whole experience gave me nightmares. The characters are very well developed. They feel twisted. Some of them feel like they could be your neighbors. Some feel creepy. I loved every minute of it. This was a new author for me. I plan to add this author to my favorites list and I look forward to reading more. I was pulled into the story from the beginning just by the way she described the storm scene. You should run to get this story.

What fun and entertaining books these both are. Although they are short they are well written and definitely know how to keep your interest. They are lighthearted and sweet romances with some great characters. They were relatable and easy to connect with right from the start. I lived the fact that this boxed set had been created as I was certainly ready to move straight on to book 2 after finishing the first. These are the kind of stories you can get yourself lost in for an afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed both if these books and would recommend them.

Ezri Trenton is a young woman, she is a Detective with the local law enforcement, but she is also a witch, but she has to keep these two sides of herself separate, no matter how much she wishes it could be different, however, she hasn’t had the easiest start to life, when she walked into her house, saw her murdered mother on the floor in front of her and at the time it was just too much for her to bear, now she uses it to fuel her career. Meanwhile, in the background there are the undercurrents of another facet to her magical life, this is the fact that she is destined to take part in a prophecy on the Vernal Equinox, but the when are where are vague and so she just has to build herself up so that she can be ready when the time comes.
Fast forward to today and she has just been assigned a new partner, a mundane, or person without magic and they pretty much immediately get a call out to a homicide, however, this isn’t any homicide, it reeks of magic and dark magic at that, but she has to keep the information to herself because of the secrecy surrounding her life at all times. As the investigation intensifies and more victims are found, Ezri knows that mundane police work isn’t going to cut it and is finding it more and more difficult not to use her magical skills in front of her partner, or how to explain when she has to and appears just to zone out from time to time.
While all of this is going on, the past comes calling as Ezri tries to solver her mothers murder while working though the evidence which is pointing the finger to the darkest of dark magic, she is also quickly coming to terms with the fact that it is this Equinox which the prophecy was talking about and she only has a few days to stop it. Will Ezri be able to solve both cases in time, or will time run out before she has the chance? This is a fast paced and addictive urban fantasy chock full of spells, action and adventure as Ezri races against time while dealing with past and present in one big jumble of emotions, revelations and magic.

This is an out of the box scenario of what “could” happen in the future. The author C.A King has a rather sinister outlook on what the ocean would do to us if they had the chance and ability. Is it really sinister or is it just the ocean doing to us what we’ve done to it for centuries? It really made me stop and think about what could happen if we do not reassess the way we live and eat. I enjoyed how the author introduces a small romance to the plot. The relationship is not very dynamic but it’s just enough glimmer of hope and love, to lighten the load of the atrocity happening in the ocean. I love that the author calls it “Evil Sushi”, it most definitely is sushi, by our standards, and is evil. It is a very creative way to describe what is happening!
The author switches point of view throughout the book. Some chapters, it takes a few pages to figure out exactly who’s point of view it is coming from, which can be confusing at times. Other than that, it is a very easy and enjoyable read. Definitely will be reading the other books in the series!

This was a fun read. It’s got a concept to it that’s not overly done. It’s a short read but it still if filled to the brim with great characters and a storyline that will keep you hooked until the very end. With this being the first book I’m definitely excited and looking forward to the rest. It’s well written and unique so you don’t feel like it’s all been seen before. This author is definitely quickly becoming a one click author for me. Four big stars and highly recommended!
I have read a lot of books from this author and this one was just as enjoyable as the rest. I like how the characters are very complex and their past and baggage enhances their story. I like how the is a good balance of action, drama, and romance. The books are also not predictable so they really grab the reader and hook you till the end.
I really like how the characters personalities are complimentary and they are like opposites. As we all know opposites attract. I also like how the romances are not straight forward and have complexity and depth. I will definitely be reading more from this author in future.

The Last Cabin Girl is a thrilling mystery with several twists and turns that will keep you hooked from the very beginning. Josie is a struggling mother that’s just trying to get her and her kids out of a small town and as far away from her abusive ex husband as possible. Unfortunately before she can do that she is accused of murder and now she must prove her innocence. Along the way she will uncover secrets and discover she may not have known everything about this town that she thought she did. Also during this time the covid virus is starting to appear and we get an interesting look into things from the very beginning of the virus. Great read and would highly recommend.

Wow! Besides the fact I couldn’t put it down, The Last Cabin Girl was fantastic. Definitely unexpected too! I love every second of it. The author did a phenomenal job with this piece of work. Kept it interesting with different twists and turns, plus a big twist at the climax. Also the first book I’ve read that addresses the Covid pandemic head on. Josie, the town loon, so it seems. Is losing her mind while trying to stay safe from her not so nice future ex-husband. Moving her and her children to the family cabin that her husband is terrified of due to his Chinese superstitions. One day this guy Travis turns up at her job asking her to help him find a place. Travis is a rich business owner, who is about to take his business public. Wants help finding a place in the area to remind him of his late parents and summers there. One day Josie’s husband Eddie turns up missing, and the FBI is after her. Claiming she killed him. It’s up to Josie to prove her innocence and find her elusive husband Eddie. She knows deep in her heart he’s alive and well. Even if this type of story isn’t your thing you should check it out. It’s a fantastic book that all would enjoy. I encourage all to check it out!

What a grand story. Learning to spell and read is always fun. Caspian’s Grandfather knows just what he needs for his UnBirthday. A pencil and green pad is only the beginning of this adventure. This author has quite nicely introduced writing and reading. Adding a little math and science. While this story is short, it is a great opening for a child’s adventure. Can Caspian find the Star of this story? The illustration is well done and eye capturing. I recommend this story to all children, just starting to read.
This author has quickly become a one click for me I’d honestly go in blind with all book written. Once again I’ve been completely blown away with another story. Each book just gets better! This one tugged at me a bit more than the others and I really was devastated when I had to reach the end. But man was it a ride. Every single character in this story world is so easy to connect with and feel for and this one was no different I was immediately drawn into Virginia and Marvel’s world they each just brought the entire story to life. This author truly puts her heart and soul into each book and it shows. Never been disappointed by her stories and I’m anxiously waiting for whatever comes next five huge stars and highly recommended!

Changes and Challenges is Book 3 in the Notebook Mysteries Series in which young Emma Evans is the heroine of the story. Set in 1885 this book centers around Emma who runs a business of her own with employees who help her solve crimes. Armed with her keen observation skills and with her trusty notebook in hand she sets out to solve the mysteries that seem to pop up everywhere she goes.
In Book 3, Emma and Jeremy’s romance is blossoming and she is faced with the challenge of how to handle this relationship without the restraints of marriage and having children. This is a rather difficult and complex situation because in 1885 it is a sin to live together without being married. Determined to make it work, Emma and Jeremy devise a plan to maintain their relationship on their own terms.
There is a lot going on in Emma’s life and she faces each new situation with strength and determination. Emma’s life changes dramatically when she is asked to the reading of a will of one of her former clients. To her surprise Emma is given a substantial inheritance and she must figure out the best way to manage this gift. Emma decides to set up a charity with the inheritance so that she may help make the world a better place.
Emma’s life is far from boring and at every turn she finds mystery and intrigue. When Emma is asked by a local charity hospital to investigate missing drugs it is not long before she uncovers a large underground child kidnapping ring. A trip overseas to help Tony solve the case of his missing friend leads Emma to a plot involving murder and takes her deep into the world of counterfeit art in France.
I loved the strong character development of the main character Emma, who is lovable and easily relatable. She is smart, feisty, strong-willed, stubborn, tough as nails and not easily bossed around. Emma has keen observation skills and is quick to notice the little things that many others overlook which helps her solve crimes. This book was full of action, adventure, suspense, mystery, danger, intrigue and even a bit of romance. Although this book can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the first two books in the series because they introduce the characters and lead up to Book Three. I highly recommend this book!

This story was really enjoyable. The back and forth with Colton and Zenni was fun and sometimes really meaningful. Each one of them has strong reasons for want they want and neither one is afraid to give their all. It’s a shorter read but in no way did that take away from the overall storyline or the ability to connect with both story and characters. I read it in one sitting and enjoyed my time in this author’s story. It’s well written with strong and relatable characters. I could easily read this one over and over, still enjoying it. Five big stars and highly recommended!
Evil Sushi is the first book of the series by C. A. King. I haven’t read anything by King before. This book was very different from what I’m used to reading. It is a different take on the ocean life than I had expected. Reading this book makes me think about how the world treats our planet. This was an original story, and I was wondering where this story was going to. The author chose a good place to end this story but left enough for the opening to the next installment. With all the action in this book I will have to see where the story will go.

Vanessa was a sweet girl with a beautiful spirit. Having overcome so much to get to this new life you could only root for her HEA. The story of her and Arkon is sweet and blissful knowing they are fated to be mates. While one works to overcome a dark past the other has to embrace a bright future. Their story is heartfelt and beautiful and celebrates the strength of love and moving on.

Dark memories haunt Eckardt County Deputy Lila Dayne. Two years ago, she survived a serial killer’s attempt to add her to his growing list of victims in Chicagoland, but the fight cost her more than just time lost to surgeries and rehab. Now she’s finally beginning to connect with the people in this small section of southeast Iowa, even if she can still sense him watching her.
Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit has her sights on bringing down Eckardt County’s corruption when two bodies surface, both bearing striking similarities to the serial killer victims discovered along I-80—and one delivers a personal message for her department. Lila spirals out of control under the pressure, pushing everyone out of her life.
As Elizabeth and her deputies try to bring Lila back into the fold, the killer closes in, marking his next victim. Lila must shake free of her fears and trust those who have supported her—or the killer will finish what he started.
Winter Austin perpetually answers the question: “were you born in the winter?” with a flat “nope,” but believe her, there is a story behind her name.
A lifelong Mid-West gal with strong ties to the agriculture world, Winter grew up listening to the captivating stories told by relatives around a table or a campfire. As a published author, she learned her glass half-empty personality makes for a perfect suspense/thriller writer. Taking her ability to verbally spin a vivid and detailed story, Winter translated that into writing deadly romantic suspense, mysteries, and thrillers.
When she’s not slaving away at the computer, you can find Winter supporting her daughter in cattle shows, seeing her three sons off into the wide-wide world, loving on her fur babies, prodding her teacher husband, and nagging at her flock of hens to stay in the coop or the dogs will get them.
She is the author of multiple novels, with more on the way.

This is the third book in the series. It’s time for Gage to find love. Of course, he doesn’t feel he deserves it or that he will find it. My heart was breaking for him by the time I got to this book. Yes, Gage is an illegal cage fighter and has been through some intensely rough stuff but everyone deserves love. In comes Juliet and her best friend, Ten. They have gotten involved into some deep crap. Gage, a good guy at heart, feels the need to rescue them.. Their is adventure, romance and lots of chemistry. Toss in some spicy romance and you have a really great story. I really like this author. Again, she writes in such away that you are pulled right in from the start. She jumps in from the start with the action. The characters grow on you and you can’t help but all in lov e yourself with them. Gage is intimidating when I read his size but when I read what he does for love it makes me kind of want one too. Get out there and but this story. This is a trilogy you can’t miss.

Ahhh! Did it again- what another fantastic book in the Evil Sushi series. Sashimi picks up right where Evil Sushi left off and it was an INCREDIBLE ride. I didn’t know how I would feel about this book considering how much I loved the first one- but I really like it! The science fiction is still present but there is so much more to it this go around. It has everything- it’s interesting, entertaining, funny, and thought provoking. I definitely recommend this series friends!

This is a standalone novel that I read in a few hours as it captured my attention! I have not read any books by this author, and I LOVED this book!! Zenni and Colton first meet as Zenni is trying to save the plantation that her family used to work with as it is the only connection to her family that she has anymore. Colton is a rich man who has bought the plantation in hopes of turning it into a homing development to make the small town great again and make money. The lengths they go to throughout this book to sabotage each other made me laugh so much while reading this book. If you are looking for a great contemporary romance novel to read this is the book for you! I cannot wait to buy more books by this author!

Saving Marvel is the fourth book in the Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation series by Manda Mellett. As I have mentioned before, I have read all the Satan’s Devils books from the original series, right through to this second generation- and have enjoyed them all. This is a contemporary MC romance story, and is full of sexy bikers, danger, comradery, brotherhood, action, drama, suspense, tension, two broken souls, banter, dramatic developments, gripping storyline, heartache, endearing characters, chemistry, emotion, and finding love unexpectedly. This is Marvel and Virginia’s story. These two characters were so easy to like and invest in. They are thrust together unexpectedly- and have quite the story to tell. Ms. Mellett has delivered another story that has dug it’s way under my skin and left a permanent impression.

Knox is trying to redeem himself from a bad past. He chose to leave it and try to move on and make himself a new, cleaner life. He planned for this to mean no serious relationships. But then Josie came into his life and there went his plans out the door. This is a sweet romance, yet also a very erotic romance. They both come from hard pasts but once they chemistry starts, watch out…there’s going to be an explosion!! There’s lots of spice for the heavy romance lovers and also some really great story for those that love the story. An old friend makes an appearance in this story as he’s still looking for his happy ever after but not yet. The characters are just quirky enough that they will grow right into your life. I have grown to love these bad boys. Locke and Tessa, Knox and Jose. Will Gage find his happiness? It is really nice how the stories intertwine by way of Gage going within the stories. The plot of this story is fascinating. Josie is badass stubborn and Knox thinks he can just waltz in and be her rescuer. This author creates strong female characters which always makes for good reading. The story is engaging and endearing. I have been pulled in from the beginning. I recommend you run right over and one-click this one.

This book was full of action, intrigue and mystery. Dr. Tessa Freeman is an ER doctor just tyring to do her job and also help rescue girls from human trafficking. Yep, she sees her share. During one particular shift, this sexy sea-green eyed hunk (Locke) walks into her ER for some stitches. He’s a hottie that gets under her skin. Fake name, hot looks, troubled past, you know there’s trouble there. He takes off right after she’s done and disappears from her life. After helping the next girl that comes in who’s really torn up, the trouble hits…. you’re going to have to read the book for more). Well-written in the matter that the story is fast paced with action that pulls you in. The twist plots thrown in factored in just nice. The characters were so well described. Mabel reminded me of Maggie off Chicago Hope with her attitude. Tessa is a badass that shows she is pretty strong. She even helped Locke see that he could let her in to his heart. I would have lost it but she kept it together. This is an erotic romance so there is lots of steam. A little of everything for all the romance lovers. I recommend this.

I really enjoyed this fast paced romance. It has danger, love, passion and steamy scenes all culminating to make one great read. The characters are really well written and I like how they work so well together.
Gage is a fighter, after an upbringing in the criminal world he turns to fighting to help deal with things when he gets restless and it makes good money. All Gage is focused on is winning.

When Gage is waiting to fight he steps in to help am inexperienced fighter called Tan. That one action causes Gages whole life to be turned upside down and allows love to surprise him from a place he didn’t see coming. Can Gage protect Tan and his beautiful friend Juliet? Who will capture Gage’s heart? And when things come to a head in a life and death situation will any of time survive.

I found this to be a very interesting story of a policewoman trying to hide who she is. Born with magic, Ezri doesn’t want to use or she just uses enough to help her get promotions. The book was original. The story was intriguing. Ezri really needed to come to terms with who she is . Trying to find her mom’s killer, she would need that magic. The characters were unique and quite interesting because you had a mix of the mundane and the magical. That made for a fascinating mix in the story. I could have used a little more excitement in the story but I am an adventure junkie (I admit it). This is a good story overall that I think fans of urban fantasy are going to love and want to read.

An Alien Storm (Soldiers of Saedo #4) by Calla Zae
This is not the first read by the author. This is my first read of the series. An Alien Storm is the fourth book of the Soldiers of Saedo. An Alien Storm had me hooked from the beginning.
Vanessa is a chef on a planet away from Earth. Three of her sisters have already found their forever mates and it might be her turn next. After her failed marriage, can she let another man in? The quote I chose for Vanessa is: “There’s nothing wrong with admiring a beautiful man. It’s like how I appreciate an enticing entrée when it’s placed before me.”
Arkon is a star-being. A green one to be exact. He likes to know the outcome of things around him. Then he meets Vanessa and can’t seem to stay away. The quote I chose for Arkon is: “I like to know exactly where things fall. I don’t like to leave things to chance. I make my own solution based on facts. Sometimes, I make an educated guess based on data I’ve collected.”
Great read and totally enjoyable. I picked up this book not knowing what was in store and I am new to the author and it was such a good book. Mix in star like beings, humans, sci fi and romance I am totally game!
This book follows Vanessa and Arkon. Since living in Saedo, Vanessa and her sisters have really come to be welcomed by the Saedo since being rescued. Vanessa comes with some fears and baggage as she struggles to find herself after a failed marriage. Arkon is a Saedo soldier and all business. He is all about charts and numbers and Vanessa’s presence throws him for an unexpected attraction. Will Vanessa and Arkon find love while battling no only personal walls but lurking creatures?
I loved how these two characters really grew throughout the book, especially Vanessa. The story continued to flow so easily and really was a great read. Looking forward to reading more of this series!!

I read this book with my 6-year-old daughter and we enjoyed this fun little book. We liked the way it ended as we had a great discussion about what else the pencil would write. I liked the openness of the ending as it did open the floor for us to talk. Would we want a know-it-all pencil? It might be fun to solve the puzzle of what it is trying to tell us one word at a time.
While I have not read the previous three books in this series, our author does a great job of bringing us up to speed on her characters and plot. Full of romance, relationships, drama, chemistry, and more I just simply couldn’t put this book down. This particular story follows Vanessa a human chef is just trying to make her new life work, but it seems that her old life comes back to haunt her. Akron is the soldier that saved her, when they say that opposites attract that was definitely the case with these two. So if your looking for a short but good story then look this one up today. Trust me you won’t be disappointed.

This book was adorable and educational. My nieces loved it. The characters are fun and the storyline is great at teaching a few water tricks that also helps kids learn a bit more and water and it’s abilities in a fun way. The illustrations were great and fun to look at. All in all a fun read that has some fun learning along with it. My nieces and I definitely give this book a big four stars and highly recommend it.

This story is a very cute kid’s story about a pencil that can write by itself. This pencil takes Caspian on an adventure by writing one-word clues.
This story is short, fun and easy to read. I would have read this to my preschool class and my own children when they were younger. Even the pictures are cute.
