Fatal Memory (Agent Red:Teagan Stone Series Book 1) by Ava S. King – Review by Santana Hicks

Agent Red: Fatal Memory (Teagan Stone, #1)Agent Red: Fatal Memory by Ava S. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a quick read that is fast paced and filled to the brim with action, look no further!

Teagan Stone is a mother of 3 and a doting wife to her husband. One day she is kidnapped by her old team from an elite force of spies. With her memory gone, she has no idea who these people are and why they would want anything to do with her. Turns out she was a badass agent who decided to give up the spy life to raise her children. Unfortunately a former team member has gone missing and the clues lead to the last case Teagan and her team last worked together.

They tell her one more case and she can go back to her family. She never wanted to be dragged back into the life but has no choice.

The author did a really good job of stuffing the book full of action with a splash of politics. Taking place in the present with flashbacks so you know what the previous case was. I also really enjoyed the way the author wrote Teagan. She’s sassy, strong, smart and stubborn.

Kara Shieldmaiden of Eire (Forerunner book 4)Kara Shieldmaiden of Eire by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The saga of the Agneson family continues!! Cub, Kara, Sorven, Thorfinn, and Uncle Karl are all scattered far from each other and facing their own battles to survive. Cub finds himself becoming known as a strategist. Kara finds herself as a hired sword and her first love. Sorven finds out that his cousin doesn’t make the best decisions and that he’d be better off alone. Thorfinn finds himself trying to protect his sister and ends up paying the price of a revenge plot. Karl find himself with an unexpected bride, and an impending sea battle. The magic, battles and heartbreak abound in this story. The kids are quickly growing up and changing while Uncle Karl does his best to survive. Can they all survive their personal battles? Will they ever come back together as a family?

I enjoy this author’s work! Each book I find myself immediately pulled into the story and I don’t want to put them down until the end! The characters are all well written. Their struggles and how they work through them feel very real -as much as fantasy can. There are a few unexpected twists at the end that had me heartbroken for one sibling and worried for another. I am looking forward to the next installment so I can find out what happens next!

Destiny’s Daughter (Intimate and Unfiltered Book 3) by Lynda Filler – Review by Kerry Carr

Destiny's Daughter: It was the best of times.Destiny’s Daughter: It was the best of times. by Lynda Filler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really beautiful book, following the memories and the life of the author. The writing is really good. As a reader you are gripped and it feels like you are viewing the story from the author’s eyes has it happens.

This is the 3rd book of memoirs however the author does a good job of making it enjoyable even if you haven’t read the previous books.

As with most people’s life’s there are ups and downs, sadness and happiness though this book but what I love is the author’s raw honesty and how they have overcome all the heartbreaks and sadness and moved forwards with the lessons they have learnt.
This is a story about starting over, finding a new place to settle down and put roots and realising that maybe your choice was wrong or could it just seem that way because of the circumstances happening around you such as seeing the warships on the way to attack Ukraine. Its about the effect seeing that had on the author and how it allowed her to stop and think and put her life into perspective and realise how her life had come full circle. From growing up as a military Brat she finds herself back close to a war zone. Is it coincidence or is it part of her destiny?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great book In Plain Sight was. I have not read the other books in the Logan McKenna series but now I need to after finding such a strong and fearless female lead character that is very well-written and so easy to relate to. So, Logan finds herself enjoying her new life married to Ben and living on the beautiful Oregon coast. She enjoys her time playing her violin and volunteering at a wildlife rescue, but things are not as smooth as she hoped. Upon arrival one morning at work, she finds a co-worker dead and the raptor she was doctoring dead as well., it becomes a huge mystery as to who the killer is and why. Is it the coworker’s gay lover, ex-husband, or someone not even known to Logan? Logan takes matters into her own hands to find justice for her coworker and friend but puts her life in danger in the process. This was such a great book! A real vision of true friendship, love, and the need for justice. You will not be disappointed in this read! Strong female characters lead the investigation and finally solve the murder. Great character development and edge of your seat thriller, this is a great book to be read!

Bake Happy (Bake Believe Series Book 3) by Cori Cooper – Review by Moriah Venable

Bake HappyBake Happy by Cori Cooper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have always wanted to learn how to bake, so the title of this caught my attention.

Though I haven’t read the other novels in the series, I still enjoyed this novel.

Seeing people come together through baking, just makes me happy. No wonder people would bring over baked good to neighbors like I’ve seen in some movies. It conveys you were thinking of them and wanting them to feel welcomed in the neighborhood.

There is some drama with family curses being swapped and Cat trying to fix it before anything bad happens.

I will have to read the previous novels and this one again.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The author has written a beautiful memoir of her life. Yes, there are sad parts to her life but she focuses on learning and moving on. Like most of us, she has good and bad times. She overcame a heart issue. She includes beautiful pictures that also tell a story of her travels. I do like the fact that she gives you the basic facts to update you to the lastest in this, the 3rd of her memoirs. She puts herself out there and shares it all with the reader. I like the fact that she is still encouraging to the reader. It is a story that I will not likely forget. Iwill have to go back and read the first two books now. Well done, author.

In Plain Sight: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 8In Plain Sight: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 8 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is not in my normal wheel house of genre but was an amazing change of pace. I would consider this book an amazing palette cleanser from what I have been reading. That being said, lets get into the nitty gritty of this book (without spoilers of course). Let’s preface this with I haven’t read any other books in this series, so I can in starting fresh. Most times you will need to read the rest of the series to figure things out but I don’t feel like that is the case in this series. Granted after reading this book, I now want to go back and read the rest because it was just that good. Logan is an amazing character with a lot of depth that I didn’t foresee her having. She has an amazing relationship with her husband Ben. She plays a violin that she named (love that). She starts a new job doing something that she feels gives her purpose and is helpful. Then a murder happens to a co-worker. Well, not everyone thinks it is a murder. So, Logan decides to take matters into her own hands and investigate what happened. This book took so many twists and turns that when I thought I knew who did it or what was happening, I turned the page and found out I was completely wrong. It reminds me of the board game Clue. Everyone is trying to figure it out, you go to prove it but then there is another card that is shown and all your thoughts come crashing down. That is what kept me turning the pages and not being able to put the book down. This book is full of mystery, suspense, drama, danger, edge of seat scenes, and an amazing love story. I highly recommend reading this book and I am going to start at the beginning of the series.

I haven’t read anything by this author previously but I loved it. I felt like a teenager hiding under the covers sneaking more pages after hubby had gone to sleep!

I’m normally adept at guessing endings which makes me lose interest in the book but this one kept me going. Loved the love triangle with the twin brothers – made it all the more interesting. The characters were well developed and came to life on the pages. i really loved this read.

I’m already stalking to find out when book 2 will hit the shelves!

Ashali and the Blue Horseman by Jordan Elizabeth

Ashali and the Blue Horseman is a wonderfully written Sci-Fi Romance that I absolutely loved reading. I honestly wasn’t sure to expect going in but man im glad I decided to give this a read. This author is a fairly new author to me but I can see myself being a fan. The characters are fun, fully developed and relatable. They really bring the story to life and had me feeling like I was apart of the story. This authors style of writing and attention to detail kept me turning the pages till the end. Get ready to be taken on a adventure with Ashali as she finds herself in a situation she never imagined she be in. There’s twists and turns that will have you turning the pages trying to figure out what happens next. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.
