The Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass (Mermaid Science, #3)The Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My youngest loved this book. She was able to read it and learn at the same time. She loves science. It was done in a subtle engaging way that kept her wanting to continue reading until the end.

My daughter is 12 and a tad too old for this book; however she loved it. She does have trouble reading sometimes; which is why I encourage her to read all different genres of books. This was a book she was able to read well and she loved the graphics.

Having said this, this book would be more suited to a child up to 8.

Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm – Review by Katie Turner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm is easily my favorite read of the year thus far! Even when I was not reading, I was thinking about the story and wondering where it was going to lead to. I would sneak in a page or two while cooking, while I ate lunch on my work break, anywhere or time I could until I finished! The main characters were very well developed and I adored and sympathized with each of them in different ways. I was hooked by this story on both timelines- enjoying reading of Lori, Joel and Clancy and then going forward to Garrison and Molly. Their stories spanned between the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1991. Each jump was a smooth transition between the timeframes that wove together this addicting mystery. I never once got lost. It worked so well for this book! The story had so many twists and turns. I loved that just when I thought for sure I had the ending cracked, another curve ball was tossed in and proved my theories to be wrong. By the end of the book, I was completely satisfied. I didn’t feel like the author left any loose ends. I highly recommend if you like the mystery genre. I’ll be looking forward to more from Shanessa Gluhm!

LeviLevi by Edith Mackenzie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this author as it’s the first time I have read her books. I noticed that it was Book 1 when I started – generally I will purchase all books in a series before reading any in case they have a cliff hanger that moves into the next book. This one intrigued me when I read the overview of it so I picked it up while the rain was pounding down outside and I didn’t have a lot to do in the house (a rarity indeed!)

I really enjoyed this book! it’s the story of Bella and Levi – there’s action, family and romance – what’s not to love? I loved the way the characters developed through the book.

The only sad part was that when I reached the end of the book I wanted more. I will definitely be looking for the next one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As a fan of historical fiction and thrillers, this book did not disappoint. The cover is beautiful to start. I am a teacher so I like to support other teachers. I was hooked quickly by the vivid language the author uses. The story is told using an alternate timeline floating between modern times and WWII era, which doesn’t bother me as a reader. I thought the characters were interesting and felt the author did a great job capturing both settings and the relationship between the characters. I found myself not wanting to put it down. Mystery books often are easy to figure out the twists, but this one kept me guessing much longer than usual. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

I really enjoyed this quick read by Jennifer Raines. It was my first of her books, but I would definitely read more. This contemporary romance had lovable characters that you become invested in. There is a unique twist to the story and I loved the setting of the book, which was also unique to my experiences as a reader in the US. As someone with a sister and a nephew of my own, I connected to the story and found myself hoping for a happy ending. Great summer read!

It has been a while since I have read a Mystery and I have to say I am so happy that I decided to read this fantastic book snuggled up on a cold winters day. I was completely hooked from start to finish! I loved the very creatively written story that takes us back in time so vividly you really can imagine everything as if you are right there with the characters. Speaking of characters I really liked Cora, as the lead character. She is smart and intriguing. The author added in some fabulous twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting at all. If you like YA mystery then this is definitely the book for you!

The Liminal Space (Antipodes #2)The Liminal Space by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second in the Antipodes series and I would suggest reading the first book prior to reading the second. This is my favourite of the series (although I’ve read it out of order), and this one made me more emotional than the others. Once again, the story follows Cam and what happens after the events of the first book. Cam is now living on the Island of Lewis, until he learns that someone he loves may still be alive. It was interesting to see how Cam grows throughout the course of the book as he now has a family to look after and all the dilemmas of a community that has to survive on very little because a pandemic has destroyed most of the earth. This one seemed slower than the others in the series but I enjoyed the emotional arcs more. An atmospheric read.

Battles and adventure crisscross the Viking Age! From monumental sea clashes to beleaguered mountain strongholds to war with the tribes of Eire, circumstance drives the scattered Agneson clan across the known world. And beyond the lands of Midgard, mythic hidden folk challenge our forerunner hero. The award-winning Forerunner Series epic continues….

Fleeing an arranged marriage, Kara escapes across the narrow sea to follow her warrior dreams. Escaping slavery, Cub joins Rollo’s horde in Britany, while his outlawed brother Sorven fights for survival in the Welsh mountains. Uncle Karl and his warriors rally to Harald Tanglehair in his ambition to unify the wild kingdoms of the North Way, and young Thorfinn is left behind, safe and secure in a tiny fishing village… or is he?

Kara gains her place in king of Dublinn’s ranks to prove her mettle, but being a warrior is not what she expected, and what of these new feelings she finds for her closest companion? Will Karl and his crew perish in the great battle of Hafrsfjord? And how will an unprepared Thorfinn survive kidnapping by an 8-armed giant, leaving behind worried friends and a very angry dragon?

Don’t miss this 5-star epic fantasy critics are calling “whimsical and gritty,” with “fabulous, engaging characters.” If you enjoy the history of The Last Kingdom and Nordic myths and legends, the Forerunner Series is a grand tale not to be missed!

Falling in love with a rogue is risky…

Celia Buchanan lives her life in a social whirl. And she’s hiding a secret that could ruin her. She needs a suitable husband who is either blissfully unaware of the devastating truth or adores her so much it won’t matter. She doubts such a man exists until she discovers Gabriel Rose watches her from the shadows. He may be a rogue, but his kisses set Celia on fire and the things he whispers in her ear are utterly scandalous.

Gabriel Rose straddles the border between nobility and London’s murky shadows. He is content there—until he discovers an obsession with the one woman he can never claim as his. But when Celia grants him a kiss in the darkness, her fate is sealed. Once Gabriel tastes her sweetness, he cannot let her go. What must he do to keep her forever?

Destiny is a fickle creature. A bastard is abruptly elevated to the rank of marquess, and a lady is caught in a compromising situation. A hasty marriage may not erase dark secrets and society’s prejudices but will a dangerous threat from the past force these star-crossed lovers to realize they belong together?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read this one! What a great, fast-paced story! I loved Jessica and Seth’s story. Partners with a palpable attraction, but each not knowing they like one another. Their developing relationship and romance draws the reader in and adds an element depth to the story, enhancing the suspenseful and thrilling pieces of the story. The author weaves the suspense in throughout the story and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. I was turning the pages and read this in just a couple of sittings (and maybe lost some sleep) because I couldn’t put it down. The overall development of the characters and story culminated in an amazing read. I can’t wait to read another by this author!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Witch Charm is the fourth book in the MacKenzie coven mystery series by Sonia Parin. I enjoyed this book as I did the previous ones, but I just feel like something is missing I can’t quite put my finger on. I’m enjoying all of the banter between Lexie, Luna, Jonathan, Octavia, Mirabelle, and Catherine but I just feel like there’s some thing that could take this series over the edge and make it that much better. The author does a great job of writing and there were only minor grammatical errors. I found plenty of humor but not quite as much “mystery as I’m looking for. I will continue to read the series however and see where it goes from here.

Thorfinn and the Witch's Curse (The Forerunner Series #1)Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beautiful historical fiction with so much research done that you can clearly tell this author put their entire being into this piece. The story and world-building reach heights that most series hope to accomplish without being too overdone and lengthy. This series, the first installment in itself holds the reader well, the plot twisting and winding as we follow Thorfinn’s adventures without the slightest hint of hesitation. The ability to fully immerse the reader is an admirable quality, one that was done well here, and there was just the perfect blend of historical fiction and fantasy.

A great mix of characters’ ages and depictions along with a fast-paced plot has the reader hoping and wishing for more – one that I was excited to see granted! Overall, a very good read, and without throwing any additional spoilers in this review, a very great series.

Onto the next! Having read this series without any wait between books is a relish in itself, but the attention to detail and dedication to research while adding a twist on history is another thing entirely. We once again follow the adventures of our beloved characters that leave us wanting more. The precision and tone of the entire piece are beautiful, and the craftsmanship that goes into creating it doesn’t go without notice. The touches of fantasy that litter just adds the perfect amount of twist that draws readers of all genres in.

Truly a good installment into the series that touches on more than just one solid character and helps to give multiple facets to the created world. Overall, a good read. I recommend!

Arguably the best yet, Batista does it yet again. An incredibly immersive story that draws in, captivates and leaves the reader wanting that much more. Having read the two before this, they seem to keep getting better and better. This is no loss of detail or rushing through the storyline. It picks up directly from the last book and doesn’t leave anything out. I continuously feel immersed in the story, and it’s hard to put down! Absolutely worth a re-read!

This author was utterly new to me, but after reading this series, it’s awesome to have experienced their work and to be hopeful for more in the future!

Very well written, The Detail, is the first book I have read by this author. Full of action and some suspense. This book will have you on the edge of your seat in some points. The Male and Female main characters are partners as law enforcement officers, and they are attracted to each other yet the other has no clue how they feel. The fact that it is mutual, and they haven’t shared this with each other yet is the first in a long progression of suspenseful moments in this story. The storyline has substance, and the characters are well developed and very interesting. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

What a fun book with a mix of the current Darcy clan living at Pemberley and the history of Elizabeth Bennett and her Mr. Darcy! Eliza wants to learn more about her family and why her father left England so she goes to Pemberley for a family reunion. She meets up with her cousin Joy Bingley, Jane’s relative, her goofy Aunt Iris, and a handsome Heath. All is going well until a body is found in the fountains and no one knows who the killer is. Eliza and her clan start snooping and start to find out secrets surrounding the staff, the family, and the house.

Wow! I was not expecting this amazing plot when I picked up this novel. It’s just different in a great fantastical way. It delivers in so many ways – think suspense, shadows, gothic, desperate times, siblings/family ties, and supernatural powers. Leo isn’t the typical main character and I love that. I can’t wait to see what else this author brings us.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Murder Most Pemberley is the first book in the Eliza Darcy Mysteries series. I always enjoy a new take on Austen’s works, and this was a fun read. This story is set in modern-day times with the ancestors of Darcy and other characters from Pride and Prejudice. Eliza is American and has skipped across the pond to meet her father’s family in England. What starts as curiosity about her family turns into a murder mystery.
I enjoyed the characters and the story. It was a fun, light-hearted read, which leaves me looking forward to the next book in the series. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series soon.

Forget 50 Shades!!
Now This is Adult Romance in All its Glory! I adore the D/s aspect of the relationship, and that it’s written absolutely naturally. Saccenti Delivers another flawless gem that is devastating to the hormones and the libido. More than that, the characters are so wonderfully written that this reads like a bit of a suspense mystery as well. I adored that aspect and the captivating scenery and imagery of the locales. This one has it all and will keep you hooked from start to finish!

What a sweet slow burn romance! If you prefer clean romances, then this is for you. Levi brings that hard rugged military guy we all love, and Bella seems like the spoiled princess who hasn’t had to cook or clean when we meet her. Along the way, we see more of her character and find her more likeable. I love the characters in this book, and the touch of danger and suspense really makes it all the better. I am looking forward to the rest of the series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had not read this author before so I was not sure what to expect when I decided to read this book, but I was not disappointed! I found it to be a fast paced entertaining story about a girl who is trying to be a hero and live up to her father’s hero legacy, but she is also dealing with her mom, who does love her, but is a well-known villain. She accidentally finds herself with a nemesis that she isn’t sure what to do with. The story line was packed with action, backstory, and plenty of twists and turns that I definitely did not see coming. The story was also quite humorous and had me laughing out loud. The characters were well developed and fun. Even the “villains” were people I would want to go get a drink and hang out with. I would totally want to have the poison checking gloves on though, just in case. I absolutely recommend this story and I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

This fun murder mystery really blew me out of the water. I have read a couple of this authors books and personally she is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Every book I have read of hers has been amazing and this one is no different. The characters are well developed, realistic, and bring the story together as a whole. The mystery was just enough to keep you on the edge of your seat while reading this incredible mystery. However not only did the murder mystery help bring this book alive but its also full of nutty relatives, romance, and of course plenty of tea, this book really had it all.
