By: Glenn Maynard

This book is so fast paced. It is also truly chilling. I don’t know if I have read a book that has haunted me quite like this in a while. The author chooses to begin the book right in the middle of the action – in the middle of a completely chilling scene. And from there he never takes his foot off of the gas. Troy truly lives a chilling life and the premise of a gene that makes one prone to being a killer really is an interesting concept. For me, as I read, I really found myself wondering how much of Troy’s behavior was his upbringing and his experiences and how much of it has to do with the potential for a propensity for killing via a specific gene. I definitely liked this book and definitely recommend it for anyone who enjoys a good thriller that will keep you reading!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed the first book in this series so was excited to start on this book. This book was even better than the one prior. It ticked all of the boxes for me and I could not put it down once I had started reading. I loved the main characters. Their connection felt so real and believable. It drew me into the story and I just had to see their ending.
This is an author that I am only recently familiar with but I am enjoying what I see so far. This series has been a strong series and this book has easily been my favourite so far. I love discovering new authors and I cannot want to discover more from this one.

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #2)Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read the first book and loved it so immediately had to next this one next and it did not disappoint. I love it just as much as the first book, if not more!
The story continues nicely from where the last left off and the relationships between the different characters only became more engaging. It was great to witness the ongoing interactions between Elinor and the Duke, how the growing attraction/relationship continues to grow from the first novella.
The author once again impressed me with their writing style, I was easily able to envision the world they had created and felt like I really had fallen into the world walking alongside Elinor as she navigated the new scenery.
While I was able to learn some more about my favourite characters there is still so much, I don’t know, but wish to, and so I eagerly await the next books in the series! Just as with the first novella, I could not put this one down and I can see how this will be the case for the entire series.
I whole-heartedly recommend this series to those who enjoy historical investigative stories, ghosts and romance!

Mystery, crime fighting, and a medium with enough spunk to do it all – this book encompasses just about everything. Acting as the second installment, the reader follows along as a satisfying new change of pace and location are reached as well as a slow-embered burn of a romance takes flame.

Ghosts and mourning, grief and acceptance, overall this book was a good pace and a fun read.

This novel is a suspenseful, entertaining plot twisting story. The details are exquisitely complex and I thoroughly enjoyed solving the crime next to our heroine, Elinor. If you like mysteriously intricate tales; this amazingly fun and yet dark novel is for you. The storyline is wonderfully detailed with amazing characters. I can’t wait to dive right in to the next one.

Ghost Talker (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #1)Ghost Talker by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ghost Talker is a fast-paced novella but by no means lacks intrigue and action.
I love the genres which this story includes fantasy (paranormal), historical, crime and romance so this was right up my alley! The combination was woven together very well, and the elements felt perfectly balanced – they complimented each other throughout the story. I was initially concerned that it may have felt thrown together without much thought, but as my first introduction to this author’s abilities, it is safe to say she has quickly found her place on my favourites list. It was clear that the combination of genres, events and characters were used with a purpose in mind, and all came together to create an enjoyable and gripping adventure.
The way that the characters bounce off each other and each have their distinct personalities alongside the descriptive way they are portrayed make falling in love with the characters (and the world they inhabit) so easy. I especially love Elinor’s independence and I wish I had even half of her self-confidence!
I can’t wait for the rest of the series and hope to learn more about Elinor, but I especially wish to learn more about the events of the Duke of Archambeau’s past as the series progresses.

This was my first read of the series and it was good! At first I felt like the book was too fast paced, but it slowed down and got really good at the end. Max is such a lovable character. I’m not really into the surprise pregnancy troupe, but it was done very well in this book. Based on this book, I’m guessing each book is about different characters of the same friend group. I love books like that and will be reading book one and book two.

Married Blind (Kings of Screen, #2)Married Blind by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Could you imagine that your first date with a fellow is your actual wedding date to him? We all have our reasons for getting married- love, money, happiness, position in life but what is yours? For Abi, she married for the money to pay off her sister’s incredible medical bill from cancer treatment. Finn married to rehab his reputation. Will these two find romance or are they strictly married for their personal reasons? Not only being married but being married on a Hollywood production and having almost every moment of their lives filmed, critiqued, and questioned?
Such a great read and so intriguing! No spoilers here of course but I love both of the main characters with all their flaws, reasoning, and baggage that follows them into their marriage. The story is told from both of their perspectives and it’s very interesting to be able to hear their inner thoughts on the matter. The characters are well developed and so it is easy to fall in love and then fall out of love with these two. Can I just say that some parts of the book had me yelling at Finn and Abi for the dumb way they handled things or for making such crazy decisions. A must read if you like romance. And the steamy scenes are definitely steamy!

Abi Johnson was determined to pay off her sister’s medical bills by working three jobs and giving up her social life. When her sister Eva and her best friend come up with an idea for Abi to go on a reality show she is convinced they have lost their minds. Reluctantly Abi agrees to be on the show Married Blind Celebrity edition. Three months, she could make it three months living an exciting, totally adventurous life while keeping her end goal of paying off the medical bills. Or so she thought.
Finn McCarthy is on his way to being an A-lister actor when his image and trust are destroyed by a conniving ex. Finn’s agent has signed him up for a reality show in hopes to clean up his image. Could Finn really pull off the biggest role of his life and not fall in love?
This was a great RomCon. It really makes you think could you be in this situation? Could you marry someone at first sight?? I can’t wait to read more from this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the first in the series and will have you wanting to finish it in one sitting. This book takes you on so many twists and turns that you won’t even know what to think or what to feel. This book is well written to where you will feel the same feeling that the characters are feeling. It is an absolute page turner. The steam in the story is really tastefully done that it fits in with the story line. The steam seems valid like you can actually picture it happening the way that it does between the characters. There is a lot of dialogue with the characters in this book but it doesn’t feel overdone it gives you, the reader, further insight to what is going on and help builds for the action pact sequences that follow. There is a bit of everything in this book that will appeal to all readers. You have your paranormal elements, action packed scenes, steam from a budding romance, and characters that are handling major things and still coming into their own. It is an easy read and you will constantly keep turning the pages just to see how things are going to end up.

This is the cute story of Caspian’s cousin Belinda getting her magic wand, but things go a bit wonky when she tries to wiggle time. Just like in Wickstrom’s other books, there is a lesson to be learned and I appreciate that. I enjoy the pacing of her books and the illustrations are nice as well.

YES! I absolutely loved this reverse harem. I was hoping the angsty portion would be a little more prolonged, to really squeeze my heart, but it was still enough. The story flowed nicely, the characters were easy to fall in love with, everything was perfect. I really loved watching all the characters interact with Gia, and that they were all so accepting of her. Katherine is a real piece of work, as was, James. Some people with money are just so slimy and greedy, while others are loving and generous. I look forward to reading more curvy girl reverse harem books from this author!

Mixed emotions
My Pearl Heart is a short contemporary romance that follows Jasmine and James. It was an easy story to follow but I did struggle at times to connect with the characters and their relationships, especially Cadence. The rest of the storyline was entertaining enough to keep me vested until the end. The author’s writing style and imagery was spot on, so I will definitely be checking out some of her other books.

Just loving this fun cover 😍

I’m not the biggest fan of Hollywood romance but I’m both grateful and thrilled to have been given the gift of Abi and Finn ❣️

Now where start with these two endearing souls ….

Abi is the girl you can’t help but love , she’s found herself in a rather precarious position where’s she’s in debt but of no wrong doing , the debt was incurred for her sister’s cancer treatment and now the big mountain in front of her is how to settle her debts and it would seem her answer is a show away …

So Abbi joins the show and she has to spend time with Finn, her now new husband and if Cupid is kind she gets her very own HEA and her debts are settled or she simply walks away with her debts settled , sound like a win win but is it really !?

Finn is your typical bad boy celeb and he has his agent killing fires all over the place and I’m sure sis agent has aged prematurely 🙈😂 his favour with fans is dwindling and desperate times call for desperate measures and so he joins the show ….

I must be honest I didn’t like Finn too much I. The beginning but be patient with him remember a diamond starts as a grain of sand and if Annni can do it so can we ❣️

This is the first book I’ve read by Sara Chislon. I absolutely love reading about Fae so I had to give this one a try and I was not disappointed. While it is about Fae, it is also a mystery. Jessa hears plants and flowers whisper to her, but she must block it out because being fae-touched can get her taken away. Her aunt gets a letter that seems to upset her and she needs to travel to her friend who lives near a crossing. Jessa talks her into taking her along. Can she control the whispers and help her aunt’s friend, or will she lose control and expose being fae-touched? If you enjoy books about fae and mysteries, definitely pick this one up! I can’t wait to read more about Jessa.

Whispers in the Waters is the prequel to the series Blood of the Fae. This is a Fantasy/Fae that I enjoyed reading and look forward to reading this series. This is a new author to me and I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from her. Her style of writing and her attention to detail along with fully developed characters that are relatable and fun make for a wonderful story. I had a hard time following at times but I think its because there’s a lot going on . Jessa has abilities that she keeps hidden because she fears what might happen if they were to be revealed. Get ready to be taken on quite the ride as we follow along with Jessa. I recommend reading this short story to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit’s worst nightmare returns when her deputies discover a young woman killed in the same circumstances as a death from 25 years earlier. That previous victim was Elizabeth’s best friend and Deputy Kyle Lundquist’s older sister. Elizabeth has spent a quarter of a century trying to nail the crooked ex-sheriff she knows is involved up to his elbows in this unresolved crime. She has a thick file of clues, but it’s going to take irrefutable proof to put both cases to bed.

Deputy Detective Lila Dayne draws on all her investigative skills, but still she can’t pin down their main suspect. Then prominent members of the community begin to disappear—clearly, there’s a bigger vendetta at play. Despite the legal consequences of being too close to the case, Elizabeth can’t keep away now.

When Elizabeth’s sister goes missing, it’s a no-holds-barred race against time in the showdown that’s been brewing in Eckardt County for decades.

When the king falls ill from mysterious circumstances, Elinor takes it upon herself to figure out who is the true culprit. Not to mention she helps the living with spirits of the dead holding on or vice versa. I am a true foodie at heart and loved the descriptions of all the courses of food from the top chefs’ competition. I can’t wait to read the next installment of Ghost Mysteries.

This book helps to introduce the main character Madame Chalamet for this six-part novella series. The time period reminds me of Bridgeton where there are lords and ladies, castles, and dinner parties. The way that Madame Chalamet communicates to the dead is clearly explained at the beginning of the series and more pieces throughout. With a recently deceased body, she is able to grasp key information for the police. Due to the sensitive nature of the case the duke de Archambeau, Tristan Fontaine decides that she must remain at his residence until the case is solved. The twists and turns of the case are fun and made me unable to put the book down. There is still the underlying mystery of who killed her father to figure out but she is able to get another step closer by the end of the book.

This is the collection that is worth every page. When you begin each book, it’s impossible to put it down. Every story has its place within the series and adds a much needed element tying everything together. If you want drama, action, romance, suspense, and unpredictability it’s all there. There is someone for everyone and once your engrossed you will question how you waited so long.

This second collection of the series blew me away! I was more invested , involved, and edge every time I picked up my book.
Stone Sober was my absolute favorite. Sexy, intense, and erotic. Stone and Nora take you to unbelievable places.

Building Storm was emotional and heartfelt. I felt everything all in one with this emotional ride. As with her first collection it all tied in perfect.

Collection 3 I wanted to go on forever. I enjoyed every moment of my journey to the ending but did not want it to end. I felt each characters happiness, frustration, determination, adrenaline, and more. These characters became like family and the author deserves and applause for the amazing story she wove.

Jessa is relatable in her instinct to protect her family and others around her. I loved the touch of magic added. With the fae-touched, I found it similar to how ladies were prosecuted back in the day for being mentally insane. I can’t wait to read the first book in the series Tattoo of Crimson (Blood of the Fae series).

I typically steer away from these rom-com genre of books, since my past experience was that the writing in these types of books was sub-par compared to darker and more intense reads. I’m thrilled to report that my assumptions were incorrect regarding this book. I was initially drawn in due to the plus-size main character, Stella, and the kink that accompanies the unique relationship she falls into. I was so pleasantly surprised to really connect to Stella and the other characters in the book. The writing was very well done and kept the reader thoroughly engaged throughout the story. Each character had a well developed personality, which added to the plot. This book was a fun, steamy, and entertaining read.

This was my first book by this author and it did not disappoint! I wasn’t completely sure what to expect, but I found a delightful story filled with fantasy mixed in with mystery. The author did a great job of creating a magical world where fantasy creatures blend in with the real world that rejects them and anyone touched by the Fae. We meet Jessa, a young lady, who is well bred, but has always wanted to walk a different path from her much loved older twin sisters. When her Aunt Caris, who lives with them, is summoned to a faraway town, near the OtherWorld, Jessa jumps at the chance to go with her. Soon after arriving, they find several mysteries, and despite multiple warnings, Jessa can’t help but start investigating, along with her cat, Jade. The author did a wonderful job of providing vivid descriptions in the story, as well as well round characters. This shorter story was a prequel to the series and was a great starting off point. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The second book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries set, fully composed of six books. Elinor Chalamet, crime fighting medium, returns for another round of ghost banter and mischief. I would recommend reading book 1 (Ghost Talker) before this one, as it builds on previous character development and helps to establish the momentum into Delicious Death. I really enjoyed that the story continues, but is not dragged out extensively. We find ourselves in a new location with a whole different array of ghosts and characters, and of course dilemmas to deal with! I did find this book to be a change of pace from book one, and a LITTLE slower, but still a fast and easy read that I highly enjoyed. Byrd Nash knows how to engage the reader and keep the pages turning, and I am looking forward to the next one.

Jessa has been raised within a proper family and has been taught that it is unacceptable to be different. She has been told that proper etiquette is to act timid and always remain ladylike. To silence the whispers that only she can hear Jessa turns to her drawings. As an herbalist she already knows that she is different from her two older sisters who are proper ladies.

When Jessa’s aunt receives a letter from an old friend of hers in another town who needs her help Jessa offers to accompany her aunt. Jessa’s aunt’s friend owns a mill near an Otherworldy Crossing where there is the presence of fae. Someone or something has been sabotaging the mill and it is up to Jessa to figure out who is responsible. To do so she must embrace that part of herself that she has kept hidden and risk being taken away by the vigil.

This book was refreshing, light and mysterious. I loved the element of magic and the special abilities that Jessa had but was forced to keep so well hidden. The character of Jessa was well written and showed the restraints that were placed on women in that time era. As the story evolved Jessa really started to develop as a person and come into her own. A great read that was hard to put down.
