Vive la Resistance (Donovan Trait Book 3) by Seelie Kay – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Vive la ResistanceVive la Resistance by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vive la Resistance is Book 3 in the Donovan Trait Series. The story continues with Donovan Trait, a vampire lawyer, and his chemically turned vampire turned wife Shirley Magnusen Trait, a judge. Donovan and Shirley are in hiding after being targeted by the Vampire Coalition. When Shirley became pregnant with twins the Vampire Coalition wanted the babies surrendered to them. When Donovan and Shirley refused to do so the Vampire Coalition ordered them dead.

As the Traits start to unravel centuries worth of cruelty, discrimination and lies about half-bloods and Weres by the Vampire Nation the Coalition continues their reign of terror. The worst lie of all was the Great Lie and the ensuing coverup that made all female vampires infertile and unable to have children. The Vampire Coalition has chosen all out war against all half bloods and Weres and are going to great lengths to kill anyone that might not be full blood vampire. To the Coalition it no longer matters if a human is killed in the process.

Millions of half bloods emerge from all over the world, ready to take a stand against the Vampire Nation for centuries worth of injustice and cruelty towards them by the Vampire Nation. Battles fought must be done in a way that does not draw attention to them in the human world.

Shirley and Donovan want the best life possible for their children and that involves living in a world where they are free. Rather than stand in the shadows and allow others to fight the war for them, the Traits choose to come out of hiding and make the ultimate sacrifice. They put their own lives on the line in a battle that will be impossible to win.

This book was well written and built up the suspense of the first two books. I admired the bravery of the Trait Family as they stood together as a family in the face of danger. They risked their own lives to save all half bloods and Weres from genocide called on by the Vampire Coalition. It was a risk they were willing to take to give not only their children a better life, but to create freedom and better lives for all vampires, half bloods and Weres. A must read! I highly recommend!

Castor’s Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars Book 2) by Tai James – Review by Kerry Carr

Castor's Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars # 2)Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this sci-fi romance. The author does an amazing job with her characters making you feel every emotion and wanting them to succeed. The world building is great too transporting the reader to a different planet where violence is the normal and people’s lives are dispensable. This book is full of twists and turns and I like how the author allows the romance to develop at a slow place which makes sense of the level of distrust out characters have because of their situations.

To begin with we meet Mia. She was captured and enslaved by Throl who has her fight everyday for her life. She is the best fighter is has and makes him a lot of money so he has not intention of letting her go. Mia thinks she is on her own with her old crew missing and she assumes dead. However things change when Castor shows up.
Castor is sent to secure Mia’s freedom but that plan goes wrong when he finds himself entangled in Mia’s world also captured and now her fighting partner.
Will they be able to trust each other enough to be able to survive the battles they need to face? Will they eventually be allowed to go free? Will their growing feelings make them stronger or be used as a weakness against them?

Finding Starlight (Quimby Grove Book 1) by Shannon Nikole – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Finding Starlight (Quimby Grove #1)Finding Starlight by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ellawyn has managed to escape her abusive ex and is looking for a fresh start. She finds that in a small town called Quimby Grove where she discovers a quaint little bookstore called Starlight Books. Ellawyn immediately feels at home in Starlight Books and spends all her time there where she develops a close friendship with the bookstore’s elderly owner, Benji.

Suddenly things take a shift when Benji asks his grandson Beckett to return home for a visit. When Beckett returns home Benji drops a bombshell on him about his declining health. Not only does Beckett take the news hard but so does Ellawyn because she has grown to love Benji like family. She immediately offers to help Beckett run the bookstore knowing that Starlight Books is everything to Benji.

Beckett and Ellawyn immediately feel drawn to each other but initially try to fight the attraction. However, the more time they spend together the deeper the attraction becomes and the more they realize they have in common. Ellawyn finds herself falling hard for Beckett and slowly starts to allow her guard down. Trust does not come easy for Ellawyn after her previous relationship, but she slowly starts to confide in Beckett and feels that he won’t hurt her. As their relationship grows and flourishes danger lurks in the background when Ellawyn starts getting stalked. Has her ex discovered where she fled to?

This was a beautifully written book and I really resonated with the character of Ellawyn. Having been in abusive relationships I know how broken you feel and hard it is to trust others afterwards. The character of Beckett was amazing, and I loved how gentle, kind and understanding he was with Ellawyn. Rather than force her to confide in him he allowed her the time and space she needed. Benji was lovable and you could not help but fall in love with his character. I loved this book and will read it again! I highly recommend!

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! (Donovan Trait Book 2) by Seelie Kay – Review by Katie Turner

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! (Donovan Trait Book 2)Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! is the second book to the Donovan Trait series, by Seelie Kay. Wedding bells are ringing for my friends Donovan Trait and newly turned vampire, Shirley Magnusen! But when Seelie comes down with feeling under the weather, they make a new discovery… she is pregnant! While they are both quite excited about the news, the Vampire Coalition does not mirror their happiness. The Trait’s find themselves escaping to an island for vampires, and is ran by vampire nuns.

I just love the twists in this book. And while I giggled at some of the concepts initially, such as ‘vampire nuns’.. it all WORKS. Seelie makes everything flow together well. Her writing is fantastic and it grips you tight and pulls you into the world she weaves upon the pages. I do recommend reading the first installment before picking this book up. It will be so worth it. I cannot wait to dive into book 3!

Castor’s Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars Book 2) by Tai James – Review by Naomi McDonald

Castor's Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars # 2)Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I haven’t read much sci-fi romance lately, so I thought I’d give this book a try. I enjoyed the toughness of Mia’s character. Totally related to her disdain when she saw the dress she had to wear near the beginning of the story. Also, hard relate to the trust issues.

One thing I liked was that even though Mia is tough, she still cares about other people enough to try to save them – as is shown in the beginning with De’ara.

I had little bit of a harder time connecting with Castor’s character, but he grew on me.

Favorite character interaction (because, you know, love isn’t perfect):
“So, you admit this isn’t going to be all flowers and roses.”
“I have no doubt that we’ll have many fights. I hope that at the end of each one, you yell, ‘I love you,’ into my face and not run away.”

Overall, a good read with some intense moments to keep you turning the page.

Leona is living my dream! I have always wanted to own a small bookstore/coffee shop. So when I found this book, I knew it would be right up my alley. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Following Leona’s matchmaking skills showed just how much she knows her customers and what goes on in their lives. Which is not something you can find in a big box bookstore. She weaves her web of love and is quite surprised when she finds herself stuck in it! It was such a joy to read as she finds her own adventure in romance. You will be rooting for her “happily ever after,” the whole way!

My daughter has a lot of fears about new places. I have started to read fun books with her that she can relate to. So I was excited to read “Jake the Growling Dog Share His Trail,” with her. It was perfect timing because we were prepping to embark on a small hike on the PCT with our friends. Reading about Jake and his worries, talking to his friends about his feelings, and gaining support from them to help him tackle his fears, was exactly what she needed. We both can’t wait to read the other Jake stories in the series.

Truth or Kill (Twisted Legends Collection Book 1) by A.C. Kramer – Review by Sara Grantham

Truth or Kill (Twisted Legends Collection, #2)Truth or Kill by A.C. Kramer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Dark Romance” is right! This book was twisted and alluring, so much so that I read it all in a few hours. I couldn’t risk putting it down and not getting the answers to the endgame. As the story unravels, I never quite knew what to expect! Little hints were sprinkled into the story, but I could never fully anticipate what was to come.

This story follows Sydney as she is thrown in with the wolves – almost literally. She was invited at the last minute to attend a retreat with 13 heirs to a large corporation. Even though she is the odd one out, she ends up getting clued into some of the mysterious inner workings of a game they are all playing. Watching Sydney evolve throughout the story – especially at the hands of Kage – was intense. Lots of steamy and suspenseful scenes to keep me hooked!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beware there are triggers!

“Welcome to the darkness, my little black rose. Blood is your new currency. And it’s time to pay the price.”

Truth or Kill is a thrilling new adult story and the first book in this series. I enjoyed the unique plot which is a dark, with a little humour and twisted bloody game. I have read a lot of this authors books that are paranormal, magic books that I loved but love her dark and twisted tale is even better. The story is cleverly woven with intrigue and suspense.

There’s plenty of passion, secrets, vengeance, thrills, deranged games, drama, dangerous agendas, murder, mystery and so much more. This is a short read with lots of twist and turns.

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having not read anything before written by this author I must say I enjoyed Toni’s writing style. I was totally invested in this emotional story. I didn’t realise this was the seventh book in the series but didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything. But having said that I will be going back to read the others. This story is raw and real and full of struggles but you cannot help falling in love with the characters.

This beautifully written tale is Evan and Callie’s story. Evan is dealing with mental health and self-worth problems but one sweet woman who is strong and sassy maybe just what he needs.

Dealing with mental health problems myself brought the story that much closer to home in this wonderful read.

Blood & Vengeance (The Casket Girls #2)Blood & Vengeance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I saw AD had another book, I jumped at the chance to read it. Blood & Vengeance is the intense second book in this dark series and a great paranormal Vampire romance story. AD does dark paranormal romance well. I loved the mystery, the mythology and historical facts of the Casket Girls from the first book and this one was no different.

Greer, who was stolen from her simple life in Paris and her Dark Knight who has been cursed to live as a blood-sucking vampire, Theron set out to fight for not only their freedom but also those of the casket girls.

AD gives us her version of the Casket Girls from the 1700’s in this twisted dark tale. The beautifully weaved story line is well-developed, the world-building vividly rich, and the characters drew me into the dark side. This compelling story had me hooked from the first book but I think this one was better.

Fear, demon’s, curses, darkness, mystery, are just some of what you will find in this gripping tale that the most hardened paranormal reader will love.

I hope more is coming.

Truth or Kill (Twisted Legends Collection, #2)Truth or Kill by A.C. Kramer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truth or Kill is a dark romance about a girl named Sydney who finds herself, during spring break, at a retreat with one of her teammates. However, she is confused about why she was asked to come, they were not really friends and her teammate and the people she associates with are heirs to a tech company. She comes to find out that every heir or heiress to the company is here for a “team building” seminar. During the seminar they are introduced to a game called “Truth or Kill”. Sidney doesn’t understand why she needs to be a part of it, but it forced to play this game. During all of this she meets a manager of the resort, Kage. She sees him as similar to her, but senses he is different too. She finds a little bit of solace in him as the game is started and many of the participants’ truths are surfacing, which are not very becoming. Sydney finds herself in many unpredictable scenes with either Kage or the heirs/heiresses during the stay. She quickly starts to put the pieces together about what could possibly be going on and she comes to realize she has to play or she will not make it to the end. She is smart and witty and with the “help” of Kage finds a way to fight. Throughout the “game” she starts to have feelings for this dark and dangerous man, Kage. Will he keep her, help her, or possibly kill her? Will she save herself?
I really enjoyed this dark romance. I felt that as I read I was solving a puzzle, which is one of my favorite things to do. As for the characters, Sydney was amazing as a leading woman. She was vulnerable, but mostly brutally honest and strong minded. As someone who can get into the dark romances and bullying scenarios, I really loved Kage. I think what was refreshing about him is the honesty factor his character brought. He was brutal, dangerous, smart, cunning, but also never hid those things from Sydney. She knew what she was getting herself into, for the most part when it came to Kage, and still chose to trust him. I also love how you saw his development, he never became less dark, but he did allow some light in. There were some trigger warnings: knife play, choking, and guns.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

Castor’s Kiss is an intriguing Sci-Fi, romance story. This is my first time reading anything from this author and I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the suspenseful plot and the worldbuilding reminded me a bit of the series Atlantis. The story is rife with conflict, danger and characters fighting for their lives and freedom. I didn’t realise this was the second book in the series until I was almost finished but I will be going back to read the others. There is a slow burn romance and finding his mate. This thrilling storyline jumped right into the thick of things from the very start and had great characters that kept me glued to the pages but it was over too soon.

I can’t wait to read more from Tai.

Castor's Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars # 2)Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Castor’s Kiss is a sci-fi romance story. This story reminds me of a coupling between any science fiction story but adds in the ideas behind The Hunger Games. It starts by introducing you to Mia, who has been enslaved by Throl, a leader from a different planet. Mia is forced to fight for her life everyday in the arena, luckily she is one of the best known fighters. She has been fighting for some time – Throl had taken her from other captors that tortured her. She believes her crew have all been captured or perished and she is on her own to survive. However, an Atlantean man, Castor, has been sent to retrieve and return her to her people. What they didn’t expect was the soulmate bond that connected between them. This connection helps lead them to a possible future, but do each of them want that? They are two souls that haven’t really known love, would this connection be able to change that? Would this connection be the link to their survival off of Throl’s planet?
This is the first time I have read anything by this author. I enjoyed the book for the most part. I am not really a sci-fi loving reader, but the author kept things moving and interesting. I never felt there was a lull in the story, there was a lot of action, and the love story wasn’t bad either. I think what I loved most was Mia. She is a badass female who doesn’t show fear, but also has a vulnerable side too. She is smart, cunning, and powerful. She is also someone who goes with her instinct so even when she is scared or never loved before, she wasn’t always pushing feelings aside, she dealt with them. I think Castor played a complimentary love interest to Mia. Both were strong, cunning fighters that complimented each other’s style. This is technically not a standalone, but if you wanted to read it that way you could. Although I may not be big on sci-fi romance, I am interested in possibly reading the next book in the series.

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Saved by Love is one of the most emotional, touching, and beautiful books that I have read in years. It isn’t often that you find a romance about mental health that can touch your heart. This author has written a book that brings home the importance of choosing your mental health over other things that aren’t of importance. Only you can change your mindset. Choose you. Be you. These are a few of the themes of the book. Callie and Evan have both come from challenging backgrounds. They have been different but both have been challenging to mental health. Callie has handled hers differently as has Evan. The story deals with them finding them finding each other and learning that they are worthy of love. Callie goes for what she wants and Evan learns he is worthy. They learn so much on their journey to love. They are able to find their passion again. What makes your life sparkle? They teach their families and friends. They awaken new sparks sin each other. The characters of the story are magnificent. I fell in love with each and every one of them. They feel like they could have been family. The storyline was original. It felt like one that had never been done. So original and true to the heart. Tears were shed during the reading of this book: happy, sad and of joy. I felt the emotions the characters felt. My house is a mental health/autism house so we felt it, touched it and loved it. I only wish they allowed me to give more then 5 stars. This is phenomenal. I hope to read more from this author. I recommend you buy this one. You won’t be sorry.

Mia has been through some tough challenges in her space travels. At the current moment, she’s being held captive and forced into combat to save her life. She doesn’t feel she is enough nor that she is lovable because of what has happened to her. That is a feeling that makes her relatable to many readers out there. After helping a fellow victim thrown into the ring (turns out she has a pretty important role), things start to change slowly. Castor, an Atlantean come to rescue Mia, get’s played and kidnapped. The action in the story will take your breath away. I was glad to read it on the Kindle. I had to know what was coming next. You could feel the tension, the excitement, the suspense, and the spark. It’s all there. The characters are almost three dimensional. It’s so easy to picture them. The descriptions are so colorful. The plot, smooth with a few twists, is terrific. A fun read that will grab you right from the start and won’t let you go until it’s over. And I love the way the author leaves you wanting more. Where did Nox go? Highly recommend for fantasy lovers everywhere. Out of this world trip.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I found this story to be very intense and dramatic. One of the Casket Girls, Desiree is now hunting the remaining vampires with Theron. She has brought herself through a rough life only to be kidnapped and brought to another life in New Orleans. Theron is doing his best to keep her safe while Greer is in the Underworld for her 3 months. My favorite part of the story is when Desiree laughs and tells Jaxon that Theron is the grumpy older brother when he asks if they have a relationship. That is the best way to describe them. During their hunt, the vampire that fed off Greer came and tried to kill her. Jaxon came to her rescue. Of course, he had a little favor to ask. This led to more of an adventure after they finished their vampire mission. This story has the best adventures. I found myself enjoying all the mystery, suspense, and having to see what happened next. Jaxon brought the next adventure. He and Desiree had some serious sparks at play. Of course, had to keep those under wrap so no one knew. The story is well-written. It even kept with Book 1 of the series. The plot was smooth with no chunkiness. Toss some romance into the story with a few witches and you have the best paranormal, romantic, suspense that I’ve read in a while. I can’t wait for book 3. I felt the sparks between Lucian and Fossette kick in also. Fantastic series. I would recommend to all my paranormal romance lovers and all my paranormal fans.

Evan Adler can’t get out of his own head.
Worthless.
Broken.
Failure.
Those are just a few of the words he uses to describe himself now. Medically retired from the NHL before he even had a chance to live up to the Adler legacy, Evan has returned to his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, to focus on his mental health. But he never expects his journey of healing to lead him to the University of Bellevue and a position as the athletic trainer for the women’s gymnastics team.
Bellevue’s star gymnast Callie Pearce is the ultimate teammate. She is driven, resilient, and when it comes to the people she loves, she loves harder than she hits the vault table. She grew up with only her older sister in her corner, but it’s easy for her to be caring to anyone she meets. She wants to give everyone the kind of love she has, and she makes sure they know their worth. When Callie finds out Evan Adler is suffering, and at Bellevue, she will stop at nothing to get to know him.
That first time Evan tapes Callie’s ankle, she realizes nothing is going to keep her from taking her shot with him. And together, they’ll use the love they’ve been so richly blessed with in their pasts to save each other’s future.

My school life was spent in a girls’ boarding-school specialising in classical ballet and on leaving I danced professionally, touring Europe, for 4 years. After that I ran my own ballet school in Athens, Greece and simultaneously volunteered as a veterinary nurse, as my love of animals is the driving force in my life. I returned to England with my horse and my cat, and now live on a smallholding in Shropshire with various farm animals and a constant stream of pets.

 I started writing while in Greece and completed a Creative Writing Course with the Writers’ Bureau. The same year, I won an annual competition in the Writing Magazine for an adult Fairy Story.

On my return to England, I wrote two children’s books, but my new life, caring for Highland Cattle, sheep, hens and pets, coupled with extensive global travel, meant that writing for publication took a back seat. I continued my love of writing with a daily journal and amusing travel blogs of each trip.

I am now writing full time and working on two series: TALLY AND THE ANGEL and THE AMBERWOOD HALL BALLET SCHOOL.

My first published novel, THE GRACEFUL GHOST, part of the Amberwood Hall Series, draws on my own experiences in ballet-boarding-school and my early teenage life and is a story that has lived with me for many years. It was shortlisted for the UK Selfies Award 2021.

You’re cordially invited to attend this year’s spring break retreat at The Lodge.

It’s a highly exclusive experience guaranteed to redefine your future.

Assuming you survive.

Sydney

I thought it was a joke.

Some pompous high-society game meant to play with the children of the elite.

But then people started dying.

Including the one who invited me to attend.

Now I’m the one they all suspect.

Because I have blood on my hands.

Their blood.

Kage

The pretty little pawn isn’t supposed to be here.

She’s unique. Not one of them. A potential prize I may take for myself.

But only if she learns how to properly play this game.

The terms are simple: truth or kill?

Mmm, I hope she picks kill.

Because she’ll look stunning in red.

Welcome to the darkness, my little black rose.

Blood is your new currency.

And it’s time to pay the price.
