In this book we are talking about academy age. So your reading about young witches and different skills they can have or already do. Just like everything you have to learn the skills you are meant to have and then develop them.

Hairballs and HomicideHairballs and Homicide by Ruth J. Hartman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was right up my alley. A strong independent cat lady who owned a cafe that homed and adopted out rescue kitties? On top of that, a cat who also has a knack for finding clues? Yes please!

Ellie is the owner of ‘Kitty Beret Cafe’. Being a cat lover, she opened the cafe in hopes of helping strays and rescues find their furrever homes. One day a woman comes in and starts causing a scene about the cats. The woman detested cats and thought they had no place near food and drink. They were unsanitary and evil. Ellie, of course, tried to defend her cafe and the cats but the woman wouldn’t hear any of it.

A couple hours later, police showed up at the cafe. The woman was found dead behind the cafe. The murder weapon a cat toy. Simon, the cop on the case, instantly has a connection with Templeton (Ellie’s cat) who normally couldn’t be bothered with anyone. Threatening things start happening to Ellie that seem to connect to the murder.

Templeton keeps finding clues around the cafe. Which Ellie presented to the police helping the investigation.

The way the author wrote Templeton was perfect. He reminds me of my grumpy old man cat. Especially when the author humanizes him with certain reactions. He was by far my favorite character.

Kitty love took precedence to the murder which was supposed to be the whole point of the mystery aspect of the book. I did not have an issue with this as I absolutely adore cats but it could be off putting to others.

Felines and Fatalities (A Kitty Beret Cafe Mystery, Book 2)Felines and Fatalities by Ruth J. Hartman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a quick mystery sure to steal your attention from other things you should be doing. I loved that it is a mystery but also stays lighthearted, never getting too dark.

Ellie hosts a rescue cat show instead of the pompous, breed-restricted cat shows that are normally presented. She wants to help her lovely kitties find a home, and thanks to a previous friendly customer she may have a chance to do that while showing them off. Before all the fun starts, Ellie stumbles upon a dead body. Can she help find homes for her rescues while trying to solve this murder or will one cancel the other out?

I never expected to read a book about kittens and murder, but what a wonderful mashup! You’ll be able to sit and soak this up within a day very easily. Pick it up and kick back to see what Ellie and her cats get up to.

Emma (Notebook Mysteries, #1)Emma by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Can you just imagine what a second-generation German bakery must smell like? Sixteen-year-old Emma works in her family’s bakery, and the way the desserts are described makes me long for a scratch-n-sniff right there on the page. They make German Chocolate Cake, German Butter Cake with Egg Liquor, Berliner Pfannkuchen, Snickerdoodles, and more. Honestly, I had to look up a few of the desserts named in the book to get a visual. Kimberly Mullins was even nice enough to put the recipes in the back of the book!

Look at me jumping to the food. Let me tell you about this brilliantly engaging story of Emma and her escapades. Emma is very observant, and smart. She writes in her little black notebooks of all the happenings of each day. She has someone following her every move, and that is when that mystery grabbed my attention. When she is not working in the bakery, she is helping with the deliveries, and this is where another mystery begins. Let me just say that this story is full of other stories. There are mysteries (yes, plural), a bit of romance, an eighty-year-old that teaches her to throw knives to protect herself, and family secrets that come to light.

You cannot go wrong with this book! Please excuse me while I go get the second book in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, I was looking forward to this second instalment, and I was definitely not disappointed. I loved being back with Ellie Warren, the owner of the ‘Kitty Beret Café’, and her very clever cat Templeton, who we were introduced to in book one. In this storyline, Ellie hosts a cat show for rescued cats, but the fun turns serious when one of the judges is murdered. Ellie, with the help of Detective Dare, and of course Templeton, has to run the cat show, crown a ‘Best in Rescue Winner’ of the competition, and find the killer! This is a heartwarming cozy mystery which kept me hooked from start to finish, and the plot twists kept me guessing as to the identity of the killer. I felt fully immersed in the storyline, and engaged with Ellie, so much so, that I felt like I was investigating alongside her, once again. I look forward to catching up with Ellie and Templeton again soon.

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After ending another relationship when he realized that the woman was only after his money, Jake is unsure of how he will ever find a good woman. When his group of friends encourage him to try a new blind date app, he is hesitant at first. However, they talk him into it…and even decide they will each pick a woman for him to go on a date with. After the first one is a disaster…he’s not even sure he wants to go on the second one. But, when he does, there is a spark. An impromptu meeting with one of his best friends reveals who the mystery woman is. He wants to see where things will go…so why does she seem so disappointed?

Lauren enjoys being an independent woman who pays her own way in the world. After a series of events (including a horrible roommate) ends with her becoming roommates with her boss’s sister…Lauren finds herself being talked into trying a new blind date app. She goes on the date but is still hesitant…until she finds out (by accident) who the mystery man is. She has a hangup with being labeled a gold-digger…and it is something that plagues her every decision. Can she let go and just live in the moment? Or will her fear stop her from exploring what could be her happily ever after?

I enjoyed this story. Both Jake and Lauren were great characters….who am I kidding?…all the characters in the book are great (minus everyone’s parents!). Lauren’s insecurities and hangups were felt coming off the pages…and I loved that Jake was able to quiet those fears over time. I’m sure I will be checking out the next book because I am now invested in this group of friends!!

Break The Darkness (Vigilant, #2.5)Break The Darkness by L.M. Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I believe Rei is my favorite in this series. She’s small but packs a punch. She uses her size to make people forget that she is powerful. She observes a lot while investigating the weird stuff going on in the new town she and her family have moved to. Once she gets herself involved on the school newspapers, she’s sticking her nose in where it may nto belong. This story is full of punch, drama, adventure, and teen angst with some paranornal thrown in. I love it. One of my favorite teen paranormal series, this can be read as a standalone. I do recommend the series read. The characters are so realistic and relatable. I love the plot, so teenager like, even with the paranormal in it. Rei is a pretty badass young woman. Well done!

Oh goodness, this being the final book in the series is bittersweet and good. I have read this series from the start. It has been one of my favorites. I have come to love following the adventures of Cam and Freya during this time. As their journey is slowing in this book, I find the drama and adventure still just as exciting and gripping as it was in the first book. The author has tied up all the loose-ends every well. Everything is being wrapped up so you almost feel like you are sending off a friend. This series has really shown how these kids worked together to get through hard times, especially during the pandemic, which basically wiped out the world. The series should us a lot lot courage, bravery, and strong men and women. I would definitely recommend reading these books in order.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was an adorable, sweet and romantic story. Jake is over dating because all the women seem to be after his money. Lauren does not like rich men because they are all the same, looking for that supermodel that just wants to travel and spend all their money. She just wants a respectable man to settle down with a live a good life. Both of their friends convince them to go on a blind date, literally blind in a PITCH dark restaurant. It was a lovely spin on a blind date, the story was cute, romantic, steamy at times and the friends were realistic. The main thing that was missing for me was the background of the FMC. There was this small part where there seems to be a bit of conflict on the FMC part but it could have been much more developed earlier in the book with more information on FMC past relationship with her mother. The other conflict was with a friend of the MMC and it seemed awkward at best in the story. I think there is A LOT of potential in this series with a little more backstory to the characters.

This is a quick read – if you love cats, you’ll love the story!

I enjoyed this quick read about a girl that finds herself at a magical school. It had elements that reminded me of the Mortal Instruments, Harry Potter, or House of Night vibes. It was magical with a hint of dark lore and I loved that the undead was a part of the story as well. This was definitely a fun, easy-to-read book that left me wanting to read the next book to answer some of my questions.

Rock Bottom (Satan’s Devils MC Book #7) Audiobook by Manda Mellett – Review by Cindy Mayberry

/0 Comments/in , /by

This story is about Rock and Becca. Rock has been outed by the Satan’s Devils. Out on his own he finds another MC to join. The only reason he was able to join was because he has information on Satan’s Devils. While there he discovers a young woman shackled to a post. His job is to feed her but don’t talk to her. Becca is in a marriage that is abusive and cruel. When her husband was sent to prison he handed her over to the Chaos Riders MC. Which were not to touch her but keep her alive. Both Rock and Becca are in what could be the end of them both. Will they get out alive? Could there be a romance in the making? The author of this series is one  of my favorites. Her books are well written and loaded with action. I have found myself at the edge of my seat listening to this story. I have read the book, but listening to it in audio is so much more intense. The narrator reading this story brings it to life. Go ahead and read this one. I recommend you start with book 1 to get to know the characters and the Satan’s Devils.

This was my first book by this author but won’t be my last! I liked that this book was dark and emotional, set in a zombie apocalypse world. The main character, a single mom, trying to keep herself and her daughter alive connected with me. I love to see a strong single mom character. This book was an enjoyable read if you are ok with books that are on the darker side.

I loved the first in this series, so when I saw there was a sequel I knew that I had to get my hands on it to read it! I could not have been more excited with anticipation! The book and author did not disappoint!

The book is a book that can be read alone just fine, but to get the full enjoyment of this freaking fantastic author, I suggest you read the first as I did. The book is unique and special in more ways than one. It is nothing like what I have read in my lifetime. The characters are funny and weird in their own special way tat really makes the story, the book captivated me and intrigued me as much at the first book did! This one had tons of twists and turns, maybe even more than the previous! The humor was perfectly done in this one, if not even better than the previous! Perfectly written. Love this author’s writing! Love this book!

I cannot say more good and awesome things about this author! I love how they write and create these books I have come to love. Cant say enough good things! A must read highly recommend the book/author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dating is not easy in general. Imagine being a billionaire looking for actual love that isn’t out for your money. Imagine taking a detailed questionnaire to set up a profile for a dating application where you don’t get to see the other person and must rely on the algorithm to pair you with another. Then a date where you cannot see your date. This concept was well written in this story. I couldn’t put the book down.

You want someone to love you for you, but you are a well known billionaire. This is a dilemma facing Jake. Women just want him for his money and could care less about the man behind the money. His friends talk him into a new way to date that would help eliminate the money chasers, blind dating. You have the option to talk prior to the date or leave it to full chance when meeting at the restaurant in the dark where you dine with your date.

Lauren wants a significant other that is well off, but not at the extravagant level of her billionaire boss. Catherine, her friend, convinces her to let her choose a blind date for her. A night of chatting in the dark with a stranger. A date unlike any other with a man that she enjoys talking with though not enough to give him her identity just yet. Intrigued, she agrees to continue getting to know one another through messaging.

How will the two get along when their identities become known? Did the new blind dating work?

Don’t wait. Pick up the book and find out for yourself.

Felines and Fatalities (A Kitty Beret Cafe Mystery, Book 2)Felines and Fatalities by Ruth J. Hartman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Felines and Fatalities is Book 2 in the Kitty Beret Café Mystery series. When Ellie, owner of the Kitty Beret Café, agrees to put on a cat show for rescued cats she was not expecting anything more than an adventure involving cats in cute clothes. Things suddenly take a turn when Ellie stumbles onto the corpse of one of the cat show judges in a storeroom on the first day of the cat show. Now Ellie, along with her detective friend, Simon, are involved in a murder mystery that they set out to solve. Of course, no mystery can go unsolved without the aid of Ellie’s beloved rescue cat, Templeton, who is clever enough to help dig up clues of his own. When Templeton starts bringing mysterious items to Ellie, she is baffled by what they mean and who at the cat show these items belong to.

When the news spreads at the cat show about the death of one of the judges some of the reactions from the contestants are not quite what Ellie expected. Some of the contestants are happy about the judge’s death, which of course bumps them up to the top of the suspect list. Is it the sisters who constantly bicker? Is that the secret that one of them is hiding? Is it the begruntled cat mom who terrorizes everyone in her wake? Ellie, Simon, and Templeton are determined to uncover the identity of the murderer in their midst. As they start to uncover clues about each of the cat show contestants, they are stunned by what they discover.

I loved this book and really enjoyed how the author made one of the rescued cats an integral part of the story as he helped to dig up clues of his own. It seemed that Templeton was clever and had a keen sense of who the murderer was before anyone else did. Ellie was sweet and caring but also had her own sleuthing skills that came into action when needed. I loved the subtle love story that started to unfold throughout the book between Ellie and Detective Simon. Templeton played a large part in trying to bring Ellie and Simon together as he played matchmaker between the two of them. Ellie, Simon, and Templeton made a great team as they worked together to solve the murder mystery. A cute and enjoyable read.

I have always loved books by this gifted author. This one really stuck with me! It was deep at times, and the book and the issues of the couple were full of realism and being realistic! You felt a lot while reading.

I felt and really understood a lot between Ava and Cole. Things were rocky, and they let things get that way, but there was no denying the feelings they had that had them be together in the first place. I really felt for them both, was rooting for them all the way through, I wanted to know if they would try again or really call it quits. The book had its empowering sense and gripping the reader, with the journey the author took the reader on. Motivating and heartfelt all the way through! Could not put it down Loved it

Great read that held me to its end. Of course I enjoyed the authors writing as usual! For sure a must read and very much highly recommend this author and this book! Neither is something to be passed up!

I loved the writing of the story and how the author did the flow of the characters and the story! Loved the fantasy aspect of the story. The Elementals were great beings, that I loved learning about. Brooke was a great addition to the story as well, she was very relatable and in a human way, complicated things for Levi. There was a lot of chemistry and passion, but there was a line that must not be crossed for many reasons. I cannot wait to read more by this author and the Elementals. There was so much I wanted answered, I just really enjoyed the characters and the story! Really held my interest! Loved it!

Great read, full of action, suspense, and moments that make your heart ache! A fun read as well! I look forward to reading more! For sure, I highly recommend this author and book! A must read!

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1) by Toni Denise

Jake is the first book in the Billionaire Blind Dates series. This Contemporary Romance will have you turning the pages trying to figure out what is going to happen next. I literally read this in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. I’m a sucker for this kind of romance but these two definitely top my list. Jake is tired of women using him because of the size of his bank account and who he is. Lauren is a very smart and intelligent woman who doesn’t need a man with lots of money nor does she need lavish things. These two find themselves on a blind date, the setting is lights are down low enough to see but not see everything if that makes sense. What will happen when he finds out who she really is? What will she do when she finds out who Jake really is? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Im looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Enjoyable novella
This is a great instalment in The Vigilant series. This is between book 2 and 3 and we get to know Rei and how she ended up working with Megan. There are events that occur that need the perspective from reading previous books in the series so it is best to read from book 1. With mystery, action, a little bit of romance and secrets uncovered, this is an exciting treat. Looking forward to see where this story goes.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a gripping apocalyptic read. It was scary how the author’s writing took something that should be make believe and turned it into something you can imagine happening. The authors writing was gripping and made the story one that i couldn’t put down.

I loved the relationship between Amy and her daughter Lila. As a mother myself I understood every thought and emotion that Amy went through and her courage to push forward to protect her daughter.

The world is falling apart. A virus is infecting people turning them into mindless predators who know nothing but to kill. Amy and her daughter are trying to get somewhere safe, away from these monsters and to protect themselves. But is anywhere truelly safe?
With danger and possible death around every corner Amy fights constantly to make sure the her daughter is protected and safe. But there is only so much a mother’s love and protection can do.
In the face of odds not in their favour can mother and daughter survive and escape this horror show or will they succumb to this virus. It only takes one bite after all

The author has hit all the right spots for a great rom-com escape. This is definitely a recommend.

She’s running from the past

The jagged scar on Bea Lockhart’s face never lets her forget she’s damaged goods, unsuited for marriage or society. Hidden in the shadows, she efficiently runs her father’s fashionable New York mercantile, making it the place for the social elite to shop.

But her soul cries out for more, making her easy prey for a handsome rogue who ultimately destroys her trust. Shattered, she flees to a small town in Texas.

He wants a family

Lucian Moreau was raised by his wealthy, unsympathetic grandfather. An educated world traveler, he had everything a man could want.

Except a family.

When his grandfather proposes an arranged marriage between two powerful New York dynasties, Luc agrees, believing the union will provide what he lacks. 

         Instead, betrayal forces him to see the charade his life has become. Angry and hurt, he leaves everything behind to start over in Texas.

         Past and Present Collide

Haunted by deception and a lifetime of loneliness and rejection, these two lost souls find love at last.

But when past and present come together, will their love be strong enough to stop the collision from destroying their future?

Multi-awarding winning author Dana Wayne is a sixth-generation Texan and still resides in the Piney Woods. A sought-after speaker and die-hard romantic, her stories are filled with strong women, second chances, and happily ever after.

“I’ve had a love affair with words my whole life and from an early age, aspired to write. That dream became a reality with the release of my first book in the summer of 2016. I was over the moon when it received first place in a state-wide contest, and I never looked back.

“I’m all about the romance; that excursion two people take from ‘I’ll never love again’ to ‘Happily Ever After’. My stories are very character-driven versus plot-driven and typically include a splash of humor and suspense. While they are a bit steamy at times, I believe true romance is about emotion, not sex, and the journey is more important than the destination. “

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

These two stories are quick and fun reads, the stories are cute and entertaining while they help to show the meaning of friendship. Little ones will enjoy the dinosaurs and their antics. Conifer and Spike learn to cooperate and to think out of the box to solve their problems. These stories help youngsters understand that working together will not only solve the problem quicker, but it will also help friendships strengthen. Alongside the stories are cute pictures to enhance the tales.
