My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Elizabeth is a newly divorced single mom of 2, just trying to make things work. Her ex husband is playing around with child support, her couch is threadbare, her home needs repairs, her son needs cleats for soccer and so on. After attending an at home party with the glamorous Louisa, she begins to daydream about buying into the company and becoming successful.
Louisa convinces Elizabeth to buy in after a visit to her beautiful home (with a security guard and a gate!) and Elizabeth puts the money on her already loaded credit card.
On her next visit, she finds Louisa has been murdered, the detective is the boy who broke her heart, and she can’t even get a refund!
Such a fun, easy read. Suspense, humor, sweet moments, human scenarios and mistakes, and characters that are loveable and that you love to hate.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
First, let me say I like that it’s made in the mid-1990s which drew me in alone. Second of all, the action surrounding these partners trying to catch a killer makes your heart race even further but it’s also a connection between the characters as we witness their friendship intensify right before our eyes. The story, the action, the characters: All of this won’t let you put this one down. Get into it!

Kayda
Kayda Verdan and Harlow Fletcher have been ride-or-die best friends since they were teenagers. And yet, when Harlow’s life hits the skids after she steals a sentient dragon sword, she doesn’t seek Kayda’s help. Harlow ghosts her friend altogether under the guise of keeping Kayda safe.
Kayda is not amused. When Harlow leaves Luma and Kayda behind, Kayda is downright angry.
As the Collective and their trained werecats try to track Harlow down, they turn their sights on Kayda, propelling her into an adventure she never expected. An adventure that reveals a secret group threatening Luma’s veil magic—and the lives of everyone who resides within the hidden magical city.
~ ~ ~
Harlow
Harlow and Caspian Blackthorn left Luma to let the dust settle back home. While enjoying some much-needed rest and relaxation, they strategize their search for the origins of the sentient sword.
The road trip leads them to a black-market auction where fae are selling dangerous items to fae and mundanes living outside the hubs. When Harlow and Caspian get their hands on a treasure chest that was extracted from a sunken pirate ship, they uncover not just a piece of the sword’s past, but the Collective’s.
The treasure they find is more valuable than gold—treasure that powerful fae would kill for. And without magical friends to call for help, Harlow, Caspian, and the sword will have to fend for themselves. So much for a relaxing vacation …
Melissa has had a love of stories for as long as she can remember, but only started penning her own during her freshman year of college. She majored in Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology at UC Davis. Yet, while she was neck-deep in organic chemistry and physics, she kept finding herself writing stories in the back of the classroom about fairies and trolls and magic. She finished her degree, but it never captured her heart the way writing did.
Now she owns her own dog walking business (that’s sort of wildlife related, right?) by day … and afternoon and night … and writes whenever she gets a spare moment. She alternates mostly between fantasy and mystery (often with a paranormal twist). All her books have some element of “other” to them … witches, ghosts, UFOs. There’s no better way to escape the real world than getting lost in a fictional one.
She lives in Northern California with her very patient boyfriend and way too many pets.

by Valerie Davisson
Logan McKenna is enjoying her new life, including marrying her long-time love, Ben, playing her cherished violin, Bella, and taking long, morning runs on the magnificent Oregon coast. Fascinated by the abundance of owls, eagles, hawks, and ospreys she encounters, Logan volunteers at a wildlife rescue center, where she becomes immersed in the world of raptors and those who fight for these fierce, wild creatures.
But when Logan finds a coworker dead on the floor in an animal treatment room, the peaceful forest becomes a scene of tragedy—and maybe murder. There are no signs of a violent struggle, but the office next door has been vandalized and the cause of death remains unclear. Even the official autopsy finds no evidence of homicide, but Logan thinks things just don’t add up.
When the police investigation stalls, Logan takes matters into her own hands. With the help of two local friends, she sets out to uncover the killer. The deeper she digs, the more the killer’s attention turns chillingly toward Logan.
Racing against time, Logan must use all her skills and strength to find the truth, before she becomes prey and is silenced forever.
In Plain Sight is an immersive mystery and a satisfying, multi-layered story about friendship and trusting your instincts, even if—especially if—you’re not sure where they will lead.
A self-admitted book addict, Valerie was the kid with the flashlight under her pillow, reading long after lights out. After a life of travel, she now lives on the Oregon coast with her husband, John, and their new puppy, Finn. When not working on her latest book, she’s probably in the kitchen, making a mess and cooking up a storm for family and friends.

I love a good fated mate/Shifter story. Action, suspense, supernatural beings, and oh soo much spice!
I enjoyed this book and our MC. Kieran was easily pictured as the sexy Alpha Male King who was loyal and fierce. He was also strong and dominant, but a man very much in love with his chosen mate. She was truly his queen. and despite the chase she gave him he caught her in the end. Quinn had many secrets and while she feared the lack of approval with her people she was determined to win over the kingdoms trust as well as her mate. This was a great read, and I will be picking up other books from this author again!

Thief by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Every good thing said about this book is true! The drama, angst, sexual tension, and danger were only a few of the highlights. All of the sexy Bratva bad boys left an impression and I officially have already backtracked to book 1 to experience where it all began.
Dom was sexy and together he and Leah were just pure fire. I loved how protective he was of Leah, but I also loved Leah’s fierce and strength. They are both terrified of relationships and where things can lead, but the overall need to be together causes them to both give in. This story was a great read!

“I’ve waited an eternity to worship you.” His reverent tone drew my gaze down to where he hovered just above my chest, his lips a mere inch from one of my nipples. “Now you’re going to learn what it means to be mine.”
Blood Sector is the first book in the phenomenal (new) V-Clan series by Lexi C. Foss. This is an epic paranormal romance- an Omegaverse fantasy set in a post-apocalyptic world, with shifters (wolves), immortals, supernaturals, action, adventure, mystery, bloody violence, suspense, agendas, danger, strong female lead, panty melting Alpha male, spicy and erotic scenes, incredible scene setting/world building, original and thrilling storyline, dark elements, fate, magic, and soooo much more. I have read most of Ms. Foss’s books now and can count on her to blow me away, each and every time! This one is one of her best yet! I can’t recommend this book highly enough…..
I know I have said it before, but as I was reading this book I was once again struck by how truly talented Ms. Foss is. She really has seemingly limitless creativity and imagination which makes her such a brilliant storyteller- these skills make her stand out from the crowd and elevate her stories to the next level.
So, what are you waiting for? Reading this review will take away valuable reading time!! Grab a copy and get lost in the pages just like I did. You really WON’T regret it. You’ll probably want to thank me later 😘
Another MUST-READ!
Can’t wait for the rest of the series!
Happy Reading!
Thank you, Lexi C. Foss!!!

Blood Sector by Lexi C. Foss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Okay I loved it!!! Blood Sector has everything one could want in a book about shifters. In saying that there’s certain aspects of a book that intrigue me or make me turn away before cracking it open. Supernatural, if it be weres, vampires, faeries, shifters ect, I won’t hesitate to jump right in. Even if the book falls into another category/genre I don’t really care for. My point being this book fits that bill. Normally I would read the synopsis and so nope not for me. But this time knowing the shifter aspect, I just jumped in without reading it and I’m so glad I did!
Blood Sector Princess Quinnlynn sought out Alpha/Prince Kieran. She chose him as the shifter she wanted to mate with. Of course she had to convince him, her motives were pure. Never truly accepting that was the case, Kieran still agreed, and a month later she was gone. A century it took to track Quinn down and bring her back to the Blood Sector. Kieran had every intention of fulfilling the agreement they made a century prior.
With tons of obstacles in their way. Plus the fact that not only do Quinn and Kieran not trust one another, but the Blood Sector inhabitants are none to thrilled the princess who deserted them is back.
Quinn now is faced with proving her worth, trust and loyalty to her people and betrothed. She also needs to finish the initial task at hand, which was why she ran 100 years ago.
Which Prince in the trader in their midst?

Euphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the Mind by Ryan M. Becker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A good collection of poems. It is an amalgamation of dreams, emotions and the past we have all more or less dealt with. There are few which I could easily relate to, few which I could not, which is understandable as every one’s experiences are different. The poems primarily deal with mental health issues,social isolation and self doubt. The best part is the rhyming was one of the key aspects of this poetry. I really liked that the poems rhymed, it was kind of very soothing to hear my own voice, so I read it aloud. Overall a profound experience.

Wow, this book will have you on the edge of your seat! I loved the plot and the twists! Great main characters, and I found myself loving the secondary characters as well. I thought Kieran and Quinn had great chemistry. She’s a little hard to like at first, but grows on you. This was my first book by this author, and I look forward to reading the other books in the series.
Stitch by Stitch by Marie-Thérèse Hernon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It took me a little bit to get the feel for Stitch By Stitch but I’m glad I stuck with it. It’s mysterious but also filled with romance, friendships, and family. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I read it within hours needing to know where the twists and turns led me.
Elizabeth is a single mother of two that is struggling in every way possible. Her ex-husband refuses to be a mature adult and ends up playing games with not only financial support, but the well-being of his child. When Elizabeth hears about a clothing line opportunity, it seems all her prayers have been answered. She takes a huge leap of faith and lands in a massive amount of debt only to find her opportunity is more of a trap. With feelings revived from a past flame and desperation at every corner, how long can Elizabeth hold it all together?
I thoroughly enjoyed the realness of the main character, Elizabeth. It doesn’t paint her in a predictable everything-is-perfect light, so she felt like someone I knew. Even if you aren’t gripped by the beginning of this book, give it a chance. You’ll enjoy the back-and-forth between the characters and every dilemma they face.

Ritual Obsession by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mystery, Romance, Drama, Friendships, Murder – this book has it all! I thought I would be on the fence with this book and ended up absolutely loving it. I could not put it down and found one of my new favorite authors.
Bobbi is a strong-willed woman that came from a rich family, as everyone reminds her constantly. She is trying to make her own way in life after finding her passion for becoming a police officer. Her partner, Rose, is one tough lady who takes every task head on and accepts no excuses. Most of the guys in the precinct have eyes for Bobbi but only one catches her attention, Max. He feels he has finally found The One when they begin their relationship, but can he protect her from the Bathtub Murderer?
It took me a beat to warm up to this story in the beginning, but once it got going, I was hooked for good. I’m ready for the second book as soon as possible to find out what happens next. You won’t regret picking this up!

I have mixed feelings about this story. I was sucked in immediately with the tough female detective not taking crap from her newbie partner and her new partner also female wanting to prove herself and thrive at being a cop. Where it starts to get a little frustrating for me is with the different point of views and all of the relationships. Rose and Marco, Rose and Brian. Rose and Marco again. I don’t really feel like that added anything to the story. Then the situation with Bobbi and her ex while the actual case they are working on is playing out. There is no way after the events that took place she should have been allowed to go undercover to catch a guy that’s going around killing and raping women. I still can’t grasp my head around it. She’s still getting help for her personal situation which they all know about and still went with the plan? Other than those things I did enjoy the story. The villain is smart and clever. It frustrates me that he hasn’t been caught yet but that’s what kept me reading. That and the relationship between Bobbi and Max. I think Max is the most realistic character in the story. He’s not a Prince Charming. But he’s trustworthy, loyal, caring, and loving. He proves over and over again that he’s good for Bobbi. His reactions to different situations are realistic. Overall the book is a page turner. Once the story starts unfolding you won’t want to out the book down.

Do yourself a favor and pick up this dark comedy with aliens, monsters and people that could pose as monsters!
