My rating: 5 of 5 stars

White Picket Fences by Kyle Ann Robertson is a heartbreaking story of Julie; a mom that has done her best to give her family the perfect life that she did not have. After Julie has one moment of weakness, her world falls apart. This was such a beautifully written story. I was able to relate to Julie so completely and my heart broke for her as she was enduring the events of the book. All the characters are very believable and it was very moving to see how they also endured their struggles. A very good story!

Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo Book 1)Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel by Reggi Dupree
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book! The characters are intriguing and vibrant. The world building is good. The only thing that could have been better is having some of the backstory fleshed out a bit more. But even so, I was so into the story that I kept turning the pages. The snark, sass, and witty banter throughout the book is amazing.
The author wrote a phenomenal main character in Gwen. She’s real and gritty. She’s tough, but deep down, she cares. It’s a great balance of strong and soft.
Ash… swoon. I need more Ash!
And that ending. Why is the next book not out yet, lol???
Overall, a stellar read!

NonVerbal By Molly Zenk-Review By Victoria McQuigg

Non-Verbal by Molly Zenk gives an insightful and compassionate look into the daily life of 14-year-old Autistic Emerson Rayne. This book is very much outside the normal genres that I read. However, I was absolutely captivated and felt I could really empathize with Emerson’s character. Even though her Disability made her obstacles more complicated it really showed that on a base level we all struggle with the same core desires. To be loved, to make our friends and family proud, and be the very best version of ourselves that we can be. The descriptions of how her Autism affected her really painted a different picture from what we generally understand about people who struggle with it. Her dynamic with Ryleigh absolutely melted my heart. It was also extremely real and raw to see her parents’ struggles to help her and how it affected their relationship and daily life. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about this book. It was eye opening, thoughtful, and the kind of book that really makes you think. The representation this book will bring is incredible. I cannot recommend this book enough.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was an amazing read from start to finish. I couldn’t put it down, and had to know if things would get better for Emerson. Emerson Rayne is a middle school girl who is Autistic and mostly non-verbal. She can speak sometimes, usually short one or two word answers, and very infrequently. When she was a toddler, she could speak perfectly fine, until she was around fifteen months old, and then her words left her. Emerson wants to be like the neurotypical girls she sees sometimes at school, but the sensory overload that comes from being in a school with bright lights, loud noises and mean kids, sometimes makes Emerson’s days more difficult. Emerson wants to be a good girl, but sometimes she finds it too difficult to fight the urges to run away, to eat things she shouldn’t, and possibly worst of all the feeling of bugs crawling on her that she knows is not on the outside, as well as the feeling of fire that is also not on the outside but leads her to harming herself in an effort to make the pain stop. Sometimes her attempts to get the feelings to go away cause her to hurt those around her, like her best friend Ryleigh or even her teachers. As her behavior problems at school continue to escalate, her parents try everything they know how to try and so does the school, until the finally are forced to put her back into what she calls the hospital school, an inpatient treatment for children experiencing behavior crisis. Between a new treatment plan, and a new school targeted at helping ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) kids, Emerson and her family hope things will get better. As a part of two ASD kids, as well as a SpEd parapro for a middle school child, I found this book to be very authentic and helpful. I quickly got attached to Emerson, while also being able to empathize with her parents as well as with her teachers/parapros. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know a little more about what it’s like to be in any of these positions.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Madeline and Mike have their hands full with this book! Three exciting stories in one book?
Madeline’s friends are back asking for her help. She must find one person, check up on another and hope things turn out for all that are involved. Many twists and turns that will keep you reading until the very last page. There are No Spoilers for you here. This author writes with her mysteries laid out. She captures every question her readers could possibly ask. This Mystery Thriller will keep you entertained as well as on the edge of your seat. I found this story was hard to put down, as I worried about the characters and their predicaments. I love a great mystery, but give me this author’s book and watch me disappear. I look forward to reading so much more from her.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really emotional and inspiring read for me. This story is based on a true events which make what you read even more of an emotional read.
In this story we follow Emerson Rayne. When she was 15 months old she lost the ability to use her words and she went from a “normal” functioning child to a child diagnosed as being part of the Autistic spectrum.
What follows is an insight into Emersons life and how her disabilities impact her daily life in ways we don’t even think about. I love Emerson’s character she is a determined young woman who just wants what every girl her age does, to fit in and have friends. However these are hard things for her and you can feel her anger and frustrations as she tries to find her way.
We also see how Emerson’s disabilities impact those around her including her parents and it was hard to read how her parents struggled to get the help and support Emerson needs to be able to have a normal life.

This story really hit home for me as I had an aunty who couldn’t communicate and suffered with different physical and mental disabilities. It has made me realise just how hard things could be for her and it helped me to understand why she used to get frustrated when we couldn’t understand what she wanted to say.

This is a very moving story which gives you a insight into what it is like to live as Emerson does and how hard she tries to navigate and fit in. No matter how hard she never gives up.

This is one of the most meaningful books which I have read in the past few years. This is written in a perspective from a non verbal autistic teen, Emerson, who is labelled to have autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing disorder, Intellectual disability and also non verbal.
It demands a compassionate look into her daily life, her routine and the struggle her parents go through to support her and get her fair share of education. Our heart breaks as we read through her journey, how stressed she is when people around her talk as if she does not understand. Her stress and the pressure her parents go through to help her is so realistic.
I have seen Autism in close quarters , and I can relate to each and everything the author conveys through this book. Hats off for asserting the significance of inclusion of neuro-diversified kids in our education system . Molly zenk, take a bow . Keep writing. We are here to support you and stand up for Autism.

This is a GREAT story that gives you insight into the life of a young girl with autism. I liked that it gave perspective from both the parent/outside view and the thoughts of Emerson. It is easy to make judgements based on behavior, but we forget to think about the frustrations of a person with Autism. The author did a nice job of telling Emerson’s story.

This book was so well written thou I felt like I was right there with the characters dealing with the issues and story with them, it was very entertaining and wonderful world.

As the mother of several teenagers, I know the struggles they have everyday. In this book you see those teen struggles from the point of view of Emerson, who has autism and is non-verbal. I have seen non-verbal individuals and had no understanding of what they were going through.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the first book. I highly suggest reading the previous book as well to help your enhancement of this series and to see where characters have been. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. A story that is full of sci-fantasy that has some romance mixed into it. I enjoyed how the author used details to pull you into the story from the beginning. The characters are connectable and ease you into their world and keep you there until the last page. There is great growth of the characters as well as the plot which I enjoyed watching. This is an easy, fast paced story that has great entertainment value. Find out what happens on a simple rescue mission on planet Earth which is being held prisoner. This is a series you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

It is a fun story that is easy and creative to read. The illustrations are interactive and will leave the children talking about them throughout the story. This is a story about Alex and what she does with a broken magnetic. This is a great book for any child and one you don’t want them to miss.

Oh my goodness, I do believe I have found my favorite cozy of the year. Naomi and Ella get the “Welcome Wagon” special of a dead body in their shed when they arrive at their new home. From gossiping neighbors to the Moody police chief, I found the cast of characters delightful and quite entertaining as I tried to figure out who did it. I loved the writing because it was kind of laid back and kind of like it was a neighbor sharing a story with you. Ella’s teen mouth will have you laughing as she holds nothing back. A definite must read.

What a beautifully written book about the life of Emerson and her parents. Emerson lost her words at 15 months of age when diagnosed as having autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This book chronicles the challenges and victories that she has, along with those around her.

This book had me experiencing a variety of emotions at any given time. As a parent of a young adult with ASD, I could recognize many of these factors that Emerson is going through. It’s difficult to understand ASD at all but for those experiencing it, it’s scary.

I hope and pray that this book can be used to inspire others who are on this journey to never give up on themselves or their loved ones. This ultimately is a story of triumph but shows the scars (literal and figurative) earned along the way.

This book is recommended for young adults with ASD and I agree but would also recommend it for parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, teachers, and friends of anyone with ASD.

If you are a lover of fantasy, magic, and swords, then this series is for you.

Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider is the 3rd and final book in the Crown of Stones series that is thrilling, fast-paced, and action-packed.

My toxic trait is having an unhealthy love and obsession for flawed characters, so my love for main character Ian Troy was next level. His transformation from anit-hero to hero was well written and great to experience. The supporting characters were just as loveable in different ways and such a joy to read.

The series, but especially this book, was well written with a developed plot full of twists and turns that end in a satisfying conclusion.

Happy Reading!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I should not be surprised at the varied and depths of emotions this author can evoke from me. But I find myself surprised again. The story keeps you involved from beginning until the end. Each mystery is part of the larger story that continues to build. The devotion from these childhood friends is the backbone for each guy. The growing SSG is a fantastic compliment to the guy group.

Natalie is trying to find out the truth behind the secrets surrounding her father’s death. She walks away from her posh lifestyle in Paris to re-establish herself as a municipal employee in Providence, the city that contains the answers she is looking for. She meets Grayson through normal business and decides that he is a jerk.

Grayson has been in a dark place ever since his uncle’s secrets and deception came out. Grayson has been shaken to his very core. He has been grouchy and growly, not caring who he insulted. It was during this time that he met Natalie. When he started hanging out with her, for business of course, he discovered that there was more to this woman than her persistence for government documents and signatures. Her creative soul spoke to his wounded soul in a way no one else had ever before.

I love this series. These characters are real despite their millions. Facing down secret societies and masked villains are commonplace for this group of friends. A wonderful chosen family that defies the quests and coded operations. Looking forward to the next in the series. Forrest!!

When Naomi Front moves her teenage daughter, Ella, to the small town of Fayette, all she hopes for is a new start after an ugly divorce. But the mother-and-daughter duo have a rocky start on day one—finding the corpse of the local busybody in their storage shed.
Welcomed into their neighbors’ house when the police arrive, Naomi and Ella quickly learn that the victim on their property is not likely to be missed. Gossiping over Earl Grey and biscuits, Barbara and Ingrid spill the tea about Fayette’s notoriously nosy citizen—Yasmin LeFluer. She never knew how to mind her own business and was even quicker to make enemies. Among her ex-husband, her sibling, and her friends, it seems the list of suspects will run long.
Adjusting to a new home is hard enough. Faced with a murder victim having been shoved into her shed, though, Naomi struggles to get her footing. To make matters worse, Ella seems too intrigued, teaming up with Barbara and Ingrid, both to learn more about Fayette and how Yasmin wound up dead in their shed.
As the case drags on, more danger lurks in the shadows. It’s plenty to worry Naomi, and it’s fodder for her ex-husband to stir up more trouble about Ella’s custody.
With the help of their tea-loving neighbors, can Naomi and Ella find Yasmin’s killer? If they don’t, there’s no telling if their new take on life will be over before it truly begins.

Right in Front of You: Volume One: Brinley & Adrian (Morris Valley Gang Book 1)

I am already in love with this group of characters and can’t wait for each and everyone to find their happiness, especially one in particular.

Brinley and Adrian were a perfect match from the beginning. Both are easy going and take pleasure in the simple things in life.

Their friends are a crazy bunch, but if you can’t let loose with all of your childhood friends there isn’t anyone you can truly relax around.

There was a little bit of everything in this book. Of course romance, suspense and a crazy old lady who I want to be like when I get older.

I’m hoping it isn’t just the younger characters who find love, I could see Adrian’s dad finding his happily ever after at some point.

I’m really excited to keep up with this series. I hope the next book is released soon.

Right in Front of You is the first book I’ve read by this author as well as the first book in the Morris Valley Gang series. I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to see what the author has in store for us next! I love the opening of Brinley and her friends making a blood pact to stay best friends forever because it sets the tone for their relationships moving forward. Even though she moved away, she finds her way back in Morris Valley where she can hopefully feel more comfortable…unless trouble follows her. When Adrian Cook enters the picture, he has made it his one and only goal to make sure Brinley is protected at all costs. Does he feel something deeper for her or is it more of a big brother instinct? If you enjoy westerns and romance, you will love this wonderful book!
