Makayla is about to start her second year at Grave Digger Academy. She and all her classmates are back for more magic and shenanigans. This year everything is on the line for them during an inter-academy tournament. If they don’t pull out all the stops to get that coveted funding promised as a prize the school could be closed down for good. What will happen to her then? None of the other schools had accepted her when she first applied so GDA was her only choice. There isn’t supposed to be any kind of interference, but things start to go haywire once the competition starts. Will she and her friends be able to trust one another and come together once again to win the competition? Or will they end up turning on one another in hopes of finding a better school?

Boss’s Vendetta (Sicilian Gods Book 1) by Via Mari – Review by Ashley Cooper Hammontree

Boss's Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance (Sicilian Gods Book 1)Boss’s Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was incredible with some great twists and turns at the end that really jump out at you. Salvatore, the next likely Don of his group, keeping a close eye on Adrianna, the new doctor of a nearby urgent care in his mafia’s territory. It was unexpected, but reading about how the big, bad “devil” develops a big soft spot for the feisty doctor was brilliant. Also, having both view points of the 2 main characters was so nice to have! My only wish was for the steamy scenes and action bits to be a touch longer, as it feels right when it gets good, the tale moves quickly along to the next big event. Super good!!

Boss's Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance (Sicilian Gods Book 1)Boss’s Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, especially since it’s the first book that I’ve read from this author, and was not disappointed. It’s a dark, mafia romance book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dark, mafia romance books. I was not able to kit this book down until I had finished from beginning to end in one sitting.
A ruthless mafia boss with a score to settle. A sassy heroine who’s not getting away. Will any chance at love survive the aftermath?
We knew the bloodbath was possible, just not when or how our enemies would strike. In a heart-wrenching minute of blazing guns, the responsibility of getting retribution for the savage Italian Crime Family falls to me, Salvatore Larussio.
The fair-skinned beauty should focus on doing as she’s told and been trained to do. Suture and bandage quickly to stem the flow of Larussio blood. Instead, Natasha boldly defies me, trying to appeal to decency that after today no longer exists.
A man surrounded by fear and deception can sense it, feel it, and smell it in the air. There’s far more to Adrianna underneath that icy exterior than she wants me or anyone to know. Despite that, she calls to my tainted soul as though she were put on earth just for me.
When I force the hot-tempered beauty to reveal her secrets, it can be our undoing, or a means to an end for a newly appointed Larussio King.
Or a revelation that will kill even the deepest of love.
Boss’s Vendetta is the explosive first book in the Sicilian Gods series by Via Mari. It is a deliciously dark, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, mafia romance. You will love these novels where the passion is fiery, the loyalty is fierce, and the stakes are high. Each book is a standalone that focuses on different couples in each book. They all have a guaranteed happily ever after, at the conclusion.
I’m excited to see where the author takes this series. I will be reading more of her books shortly.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the graver digger academy series. This book had me so invested into it from the very first page of the book. I loved every second of it. I was not able to put the book down until I had finished it from start to finish and it had to be done in one sitting.
There is a reason why people don’t believe in monsters and it’s not because zombies, vampires, mummies, and ghosts don’t exist…
Welcome to Grave Digger Academy- the last place anyone wants to end up.
It’s Makayla’s first year in the paranormal academy system. When all three of the schools she applies to deny her entry, there’s only one left. Unfortunately, she’s more interested in finding a way out of Grave Digger Academy than in learning its curriculum.
Gravediggers actually do the digging. Grave Diggers, however, keep buried bodies where they belong—six feet under.
This year’s students are about to learn corpses can be temperamental, and when the dead refuse to cooperate, there’s Hell to pay.
Im excited to read the other books in this series in the near future.

Oliver: A Story about AdoptionOliver: A Story about Adoption by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A cute story about how children, no matter what type of family unit they come from, fantasize about the life they would live if they were brought up in a different family. Oliver is adopted and becomes angry at his father for disciplining him and so he goes into a fantasy world imagining who his birth parents are. The drawings while simple are still beautiful. Overall this was a solid four stars!

This was a fantastic paranormal read. I really enjoyed this book. I read the entire book In one sitting. I was hooked from the very beginning. This is the first book that I have read from this author and I was not disappointed. I recommend this book to anyone who is into paranormal books.

But Levi is back for another, more urgent reason. The Chaolt are after Brooke. There’s a power awakening inside her, and they plan to exploit it. She’s suddenly sucked into a world, and a war, she never knew existed while Levi’s powers blaze even more out of control, endangering everyone around him.
The attraction between Levi and Brooke is so hot it sizzles, but if he doesn’t get his fire in check and stop the Chaolt, the entire town of Topaz Ridge may go up in flames.
Im excited to read more book from this author in the near future.

Greer Smith’s circumstances change radically her senior year of high school. Moving from an apartment to a multimillion-dollar mansion should be an easy transition, but her soon-to-be stepbrother makes it hell on earth.
Beckett Dawson is a football god and an arrogant jerk. He makes it clear Greer is not welcome in his home or at his elite private school. And yet, the battle with herself is more confusing than the one with Beckett.
Even with confusing and unexpected obstacles, Greer is determined to find a way to not only survive but also to thrive, no matter what Beckett throws her way. But he’s not going to make it easy.
I’m excited to read more books from the author in the near future

Hate You Later is the first book in the Lit Lovers series. The blurb sounded like a fun rom-com, and the story did not disappoint. Of course, there is a happily ever after but I enjoyed the realistic dialogue between the main characters. This is a fun, enjoyable getaway read that had me laughing at the story. I also enjoyed the cats and dogs. What better way to get to know someone than through the cats and dogs in their lives?
Georgia is a relatable character to me having difficulty asking others for help. Hudson was a good counter to Georgia. I enjoyed the back and forth between the two of them.
I look forward to reading more in this series soon.

I was really impressed with this authors ability introduce scientific concepts, tackle important topics like reusing and recycling, imaginary friends, and have wonderful, engaging illustrations and still manage to keep children entertained. While I feel this series of books is geared more toward girls, my boys still enjoyed it. As a homeschool mom I really appreciate books like this. It offers a lot of extra curricula, ideas for many activities, and lots of opportunities for learning. This is just one of many great books on offer from this author. It’s great for all ages.

<br /><br />
This YA paranormal sequel is such a fun and interesting read! If you’re into books like Harry Potter, you will find the GDA series as equally as intriguing. The main character, Makayla, is entering her 2 year at the academy and once again, finds herself in a bit of trouble. Her school is still considered one of the worst and when Makayla and her friends are nominated for a competition, she has the perfect opportunity to bring a bit of prestige to the school. However, Makayla has to be careful, she is under careful watch from the headmistress, and doesn’t want to disappoint her family.<br /><br />Once again, the author did a wonderful job of world building and creating interesting and fun characters. If you like magic, action, and/or y.a. novels, this is the book/series for you! <br />

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

The concept of this series of books is based around science and I think it’s wonderful how the author incorporated a fun story that teaches so many things in a fun and exciting way. The book introduces children to scientific concepts at an early age but in a fun, interesting, easy to understand way. In The Mermaid and The Water Magnifying Glass we are even introduced to a young girls imaginary friend and that shows children that it is okay if they have one as well. Her friend thinks it’s unfair that she can’t see her but accepts Maia and Trezzie no matter what. We are also introduced to another other important topics like trash being thrown into the ocean, littering, and how we can reuse and recycle which I feel is incredibly important to learn at a young age. This book was adorable, informative, and I would recommend this book to anyone who wants this type of book.

Boss’s Vendetta (Sicilian Gods Book 1) by Via Mari – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Boss's Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance (Sicilian Gods Book 1)Boss’s Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boss’s Vendetta is a dark, mafia, romance. Dr. Adrianna Palento sought out a job with the Larussio mob family, in Las Vegas. She secretly is looking for her father’s killer and believes it was someone in the Larussio family, even though she has never known her father. What she didn’t expect was Salvatore Larussio. Salvatore is the next in line to become don of the family and is also instantly taken by the new doctor. However, in the family, not just anyone is allowed to infiltrate their walls, so Salvatore trys to ignore the feeling. Whether or not Adrianna “hates” Salvatore and what he stands for, she refuses to let any one person suffer when hurt. The family is attacked during a wedding and many had to go into hiding, including the doctor. While “trapped” underground, Salvatore and Adrianna have a little bit of time to explore this attraction. However, what will happen when he finds out Adrianna’s secrets? Can he find a way to keep her safe from his own family?
Mafia romance is one of my favorite genres. I thought this particular mafia romance was a little different then the ones that I have recently read. I guess I feel that way because it seems more realistic then most. I enjoyed the mystery of the characters and the development of the romance between Salvatore and Adrianna. As characters go, Salvatore was your typical dark, semi-souless mafia boss. But I did enjoy that he was honest with her throughout the book about his darkness and what would happen to her if certain things took place. Adrianna, she was an amazing character. I thought she was realistic, smart, cunning, honest, and I really loved how she never showed fear to Salvatore. She always stood her ground even in the face of evil which made me love her even more. Adrianna was also brave as hell ever step of the way and in every decision she made!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the latest in the series that follows teenage amateur sleuth, Emma. The series itself is full of adventure, mystery, fun, and drama. This book is no exception. While being a quick read it continues to follow the life of Emma who while preparing for Christmas finds herself embroiled in another mystery. You can read this as a stand alone but while you will get a great storyline and fun characters you are missing out on what really makes all those characters tick. Throughout the series we learn so much about each one’s backstory and you always get a great storyline and another adventurous mystery that must be solved! I definitely recommend reading this story and all Emma’s stories!!

Bax is a young lad in middle school who has a pretty ordinary life, he is the invincible kid at school and just flows along with existence, but he has always wanted something special to happen to him, something out of the ordinary, but nothing ever does!

One day, he is heading home after playing video games with his best friend and he is trying to beat his mum back home so he doesn’t get in trouble for staying out too late, but when he gets to his apartment building, there is someone waiting on the front steps. It appears to be a homeless man who is not in the best of health, apart from his glowing purple eyes, however, when he gives Bax a ring which is meant to be from his estranged dad, he takes it thinking if he figures it out, then maybe he will know something more about him.

Unbeknownst to Bax, he has just been given a ring with a Djinn in it and it calls to him through a dream, it tells Bax he can have everything his heart desires if he summons it, but the Ifrit, as it is named twists Bax’s subconscious fantasies and threatens, murders and manipulated the people around him instead.

All Bax now wants to do is to banish the Ifrit forever, but can he work out the how, when and where before the streak of crimes the Djinn is committing are linked back to Bax? This is a fantasy adventure where wishes are granted, but not in the expected way and it becomes a race against time to save the people he loves in this story which talks about choices, consequences and morality in a way everyone can understand while keeping it interesting and engrossing throughout.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First things first I learned that djinn meant genie, which I didn’t know when I picked the book up. After that things fall more firmly in place and begin to make a little more sense. This is a pretty fast paced YA book that pulls you in from the start and won’t let go, kind of like the Djinn.

Bax just wants something memorable to happen in his life so when an old man gives him a ring he takes it. This sets Bax on the journey of his life after he starts having dreams about a powerful djinn. As dreams become nightmares when an ifrit is unleashed upon the world and this demon feeds upon his subconscious. Now Bax must solve a puzzle to banish the ifrit forever. With a trail of crimes, destruction, and death that point back to Bax can he solve this puzzle and survive?

This is truly the age old tale of being careful what you wish for because oftentimes dreams can be worse than reality. This was a fantastic coming of age tale. It was fantastic to see the character development in Bax as he works to banish the ifrit. This was a fast paced book that certainly keeps you engaged and coming back to read it every time you have a free moment. Give this one a try even if it seems out of your wheelhouse, because it is definitely worth it.

Grave Digger Academy IIGrave Digger Academy II by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading book one in this paranormal series I was ecstatic to finally pick up book two to see what happens next. This book definitely builds off the first book so while it could be read solo you might feel lost with why some things happen in this book and who the characters are.

This book sees Makayla and her classmates return for year two at the academy except they are summoned early and a portal that shouldn’t have taken them through again does just that. Already starting the year off with more mysteries than answers to her family’s history and just why she is at grave digger academy in the first place. This year is the inter-academy games,a competition between all the magical academies, which if won could put GDA back on the map but if lost could have them close their doors forever. Being the only place that took Makayla in, albeit for unknown reasons, she is willing to fight hard to save the one place that made room for her. With competition from those closest to her, namely her brothers at other academies, how deep do family ties go? What about Makayla and her helpers, are they really the game changers? Will Makayla ever solve the mystery of her ancestry and why exactly things are attracted to her?

This was an amazing build off of the first book. I loved the characters and learning more about them but also the world building that the author has carefully crafted. A super quick read, that just has you turning pages to find out what happens next. I personally cannot wait to grab book three just so I can see what comes next for Makayla and the Grave Digger Academy!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Best friends Wednesday and Ryker are paranormals who have the unfortunate – or perhaps extremely fortunate – situation of not only being physically attracted to each other but harboring secret romantic feelings for one another. To make the matter even more complicated, they have a more intimate relationship along the lines of ‘no strings’. I loved this concept from the beginning and was blown away by the easy dialogue and quick yet steady pace of the story. This was a super cute romance and the first book of the series I’ve read. Thankfully, this standalone doesn’t seem to connect to others in the series. Now that I’ve read this one, however, I’m dying to read the others!
