My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So this author is new to me but the book plot sounded intriguing and I am all for trying new authors. How else are you supposed to find new favorites?

Kaela is just a girl trying to finish school to become a nurse, her real passion is treating those that cannot afford to be treated. Terran is the only son raised in an old money family who is hell bent on bringing justice to those that escape it. They both have gifts however they don’t know about each other until an attack happens which could cost Kaela her life but Terran steps in to save her. Seeing him badly wounded Kaela uses her gift to heal Terran which sets off a series of events that paint a target on her back. Enter Seth who just wants to retrieve items stolen from him when he senses another being that is just like him. How can this be when one hasn’t been born in so long? Will Kaela bring herself to trust the two men in her life? What makes her so special in the grand scheme of things that she is being targeted for?

This book was like all my favorite things rolled into one. It was like a non stop roller coaster ride that kept me turning pages just to see what would happen next. This book will definitely go into my pile to reread and one to share with my 16 year old who is a voracious reader like myself.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this book to my preschoolers. My little 3 year old actually loves it and has been asking me to read it a few times already. This book is about Maureen ( little Red ) setting off to grandma’s house. She encounters a wolf who tries to delay her from visiting grandma but thanks to her flower identification book it does delay her but she’s able to save the day.

Breach of Trust (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 8)Breach of Trust by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Breach of Trust is the eighth book in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. Once again, Madeline, Mike, and team must hit the ground running as three new, complicated, cases land on their desks. From a very contentious divorce, a father’s desperate plea for help, to malicious poison pen letters- the team will need to divide and conquer. Facing challenges is all in a days work for this plucky team- but there are some emotional stumbling blocks, especially for Madeline, as unsettling similarities between her current case and her harrowing past personal experience puts her on alert. What happens definitely makes for a riveting read….. I devoured the book in one sitting as I needed to know how everything would play out in the end.
This is another exciting instalment in this fabulous series and Ms. Hamilton has, once again, upped the ante here by crafting fresh, new, exciting, and gripping investigations for MDPI (and us) to sink their (our) teeth into. This story is full of challenging investigative details, private investigating procedures, stalking, suspicious business dealings, danger, drama, malicious torment, harassment, undercover PI work, secrets, lies, desperate deals, tension, adventure, mystery, suspense, intrigue, and so much more.
As with the other books in the series, this could be read as a standalone- but having said that, I highly recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one, as even though each book is self-contained, and each delivers its own fantastic read- all combined, they really help to build detail, character information and development, and impart other important and intriguing information that builds a bigger picture and offers insightful crumbs, which will definitely enhance your overall reading experience. Trust me guys, it really is worth starting this series at the beginning!
Cynthia Hamilton is one of my favourite authors, and Madeline Dawkins is one of my ‘must read- no questions asked’ series that I have loved since devouring book one. I doubt if I will ever tire of her adventures- so, the next instalment can’t come quickly enough!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Cynthia Hamilton!

What a fun read! It was entertaining and sucked me in from page one! I actually read it through in one night and then read it again with my girls the next. We all laughed out loud and were completely absorbed in the story. I have never read anything by Brittany Tucker previously, but would certainly read anything she writes including the rest of this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

White Picket Fences was a wonderful book, that kept me engaged start to finish. I was hesitant to read it, but kept coming back to it. I finally decided to take the chance, and I am so glad I did. I immediately was drawn in, and related to Julie. While I have not gone through the same struggles as her, I think many of her feelings are common among many mothers. The author did a great job of developing the story, and the characters. They were all very relatable and felt real. Their feelings and actions were very realistic and well written. Julie has been a mom for half of her life, and is struggling to re-discover who SHE is as a person, not as a mom or wife. And I 100% get that, been there! I enjoyed seeing all sides of the situation, not just Julie herself. We got a taste of how her kids, husband, and friends felt and handled the situation. The author jumped back and forth in the timeline, slowly uncovering the events of one fateful day. The transition was smooth and clear. I never once felt like I was missing valuable information, as it was revealed in a timely manner. My one complaint is the ending. I felt like the story was not resolved, and I wanted it to continue further. I wanted to see what happens next- for Julie, Michael and the girls. Highly recommend this book and would love to read more by the author.

This book is awesome. You’ve got a con-artist’s daughter and a playboy football star who hate each other from the get-go as they try to come to terms with everything that’s happening in their lives. Of course, they ignore each other, and try to make each other’s lives miserable while denying how they feel. I don’t think I’ve read anything else besides this series from the author, but she has me absolutely impressed and enthralled! I can’t wait to start the second book; definitely grab this one!

I feel like I should read short stories like this more often. This may be the first set of short stories I have read that wasn’t written by several different authors, and only by one. These short stories were truly fantastic. My favorites were Park Bench and Music Box. These definitely weren’t stories to read before bed, but I will certainly be re-reading them. Some of them kept you thinking and stayed with you long after you have read them. I will be looking for more by Kelly Covic.

I love novellas, and I love prequels. This prequel was FANTASTIC! I made the (not so major) mistake of reading the first major installment of the series before the prequel, and lemme tell ya, things do make a bit more sense with the prequel. I absolutely love Riley- she’s a firecracker, and a force to be reckoned with. I definitely have an intrigue with Cole- I know he has major potential, and I’m sensing some serious enemies-to-lovers vibes with this series. The prequel definitely has a sadder ending- but it leaves it perfect for the next book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beautiful illustrations enhance, rather than distract, from the story. The story length is perfect for little ears, and is different enough to keep kids interested in from the original tale.

As an adult, I enjoyed the slight twists in the tale the author chose (picking flowers, turning her into a detective, and how Little Red gets granny back). As an educator, I liked the inclusion of things like the flower identification guide and fingerprinting identification guide to turn into lessons easily that coincide with the story. I loved the ending as well, and I could see kids writing a tale about the gift she gets next and what adventure Little Red has on her next trip to her grandmothers.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions (Notebook Mysteries book #5)Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book #5 picks up with Emma and Jeremy working to find missing children. Not just a few, but several dozen!

This series has not disappointed at all and I have quickly fallen in love with all the main characters. This one was heartbreaking for several reasons as a mom. As I said they were working to find a lot of missing children. Which of course Emma finds and rescues some herself and comes across one that lets her/them know that it was more than just being taken.

Then of course a case that Emma worked on a few books ago comes back. She gets the chance to work with some of the family again…. which leads to a better outcome for all involved.

Then there’s the case of the wife who murdered her husband. When someone eerily close to his description comes into the extended family Emma has created and surrounded herself with.

This book kept me on my toes because I couldn’t stop. I had to know exactly if my thoughts were right and what was going to happen those last few dozen chapters! Again this author has not disappointed! I hope there’s more to come with Emma and Jeremy!

I’m not one to seek out and read anthologies or short stories but when I stumbled across Insomnia, I was truly intrigued. How can you go wrong by taking a chance on such a short read anyway? Before delving in, I read a review where someone describes this as a collection of “camp fire stories” and I love that description. I’ve never read this author before but she exceeded all my expectations. There were SO many times I wanted to write down a quote from just about every story because the author’s way with words was incredible. The description and vivid storytelling really thrilled me. Whether you read the stories at once, or pace yourself… I would definitely recommend this book.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions (Notebook Mysteries Book 5) by Kimberly Mullins. I have loved every book in this series and this 5th book is no exception. In this installment Emma and Jeremy are in the middle of a couple of cases and they are having to be in separate places most of them time. This is a new situation for them and neither are enjoying being away from each other. The biggest case is one with a kidnapping ring involving children. A local law enforcement officer’s niece is kidnapped and the Pinkertons along with Jeremy and Emma are trying their best to find her. In the middle of the case someone secretly sends Emma and Jeremy on a beach vacation. Its really nice to be able to relax for a minute but who would want them out of town at this time? Is the person who gifted this trip to them be the kidnappers? All of these books are so good and the writing is so good that I feel like I’m in the time and places of the books! Do yourself a favor and read this amazing series.

I think one of my favorite parts about this series is that it doesn’t matter where someone comes from. Some of these characters will do the right thing even if it goes against their society’s norms. The most unlikely of actions can from the people we least expect them to. Their love that should be forbidden in every sense has changed their worlds in ways I doubt either of them imagined it would.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book cover to cover!  Gwen shows up and shows out in every chapter in this book.  I love the narrator, her voice gives me incredible vibes of the south while listening to it.  With every page turn I became more and more comfortable with everything that Gwen faces, and saw my thought process.  Gwen gets a haunted house, a ghost, and accusations of murder all in the beginning of the book!  I didn’t want to put it down and neither will you!  I think I need to purchase the hard back of this one ASAP!

Breach of Trust (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 8)Breach of Trust by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Madeline Dawkins and company are at it again with another mystery or three to solve! Just when things seem to hit a lull, MDPI scores three new cases in a day to investigate.

Case 1 involves a girl who is missing. She has recently escaped a cult and is wandering around trying to find a place to fit in while trying not to be found by the cult members.

Case 2 involves a series of mystery letters at a local assisted living home. One of these letters led to someone taking their own life….or did they?

Case 3 involves a crazy soon-to-be ex-husband who is hiding all kinds of treasures from his soon-to-be ex-wife. She’s the one who stands to lose everything but hopefully that can be avoided!

Things are getting a little busy so the team decides to split up to divide and conquer. This is going to take some coordination, lots of coffee, some patience, and maybe the rustling of some feathers to close these cases!

I have only read one other book by this author but she is quickly finding a way to my top list of authors. This book is fast-paced and full of adventure. I could hardly wait to see what was going to happen next with these cases. This book is part of a series but it’s not necessary to read previous stories to appreciate this one. I need to go back and read the first six in this series! If you love a great mystery involving a private eye, this is for you!

Little Red, the Detective: a science folktale (Science Folktales)Little Red, the Detective: a science folktale by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Little Red, The Detective is a retelling of “Little Red Riding Hood” but with a detective twist. A girl named Maureen who everyone calls red because of her red sweater she loves to wear (even though her hair is red) is asked to go see her Grandma. Her Grandma is knitting her a new sweater and needs to measure her. Grandma asks her to grab a special flower for tea on her way over. So as Red is walking in the woods she is looking for this flower; she uses her detective book to look at the picture to compare. While walking she can’t seem to find the flower, but all of a sudden a friendly wolf approaches with a bunch of flowers claiming they are the right ones. Red doesn’t believe him, but it gives him time to get to Grandma’s to eat her before Red gets there. She finally finds the right flower and heads to Grandma’s. When she gets there she realizes something is wrong but uses her detective skills to realize that the wolf is there and not Grandma. Red makes a special tea that makes him spit Grandma out. Then they drink tea and take Red’s measurements for her new sweater. I don’t really know what to say about the book. This author produces cute kid’s stories, but I also find them odd. The story always tends to move fast and skip detail so it always just seems rushed to me. Then the ending just seems anti-climatic and strange.

Once again I have read another great teaching book by this author. I really wish my children were young enough to read these. This series is a great learning tool for kids. I cannot reccomend this series enough. I really found that the author’s use of a well known fairy tale and the way in which she has enhanced it was a great way to engage kids and help them to get interested in learning.

The story although a classic is refreshed in this unique telling. I really would get this book for a child between 5 and 9. It really draws the attention of the reader and shows them a fresh way to look at the subject. I will definitely refer this series to friends with kids.

This series is fantastic and this is another great book to add to the collection. I always find it so easy to reconnect with these characters and pick back up with their story. I like that they are keeping my interest even though we are eight books into the series.
This particular story is fast paced with a lot going on. Juggling three cases at once would be challenging for most and yet the story, characters and author handled it with ease. I didn’t get confused by any of them and could follow along which each case. I looked forward to the resolution of them all. I have enjoyed this latest addition and will be looking forward to more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Breach of Trust is the eighth book in The Madeline Dawkins series. This can be read as a standalone and enjoyed. I recommend reading the earlier books first to enjoy them fully. Madeline and Mike are back at it with a busy workload. Hit with three cases at the same time, and they tackle all of them. I know this can sound like a lot to handle in one book, but the author takes the storytelling well without leading to a confusing or bogged-down read. I always enjoy the dialogue between Madeline and Mike. One of the cases involves a horrible ex-husband that Madeline relates to all too well. Also, one of the cases involves a senior retirement village with a poison pen writer.
Even though we have the same primary characters in each book, they are still developing and have yet to get stale. Madeline has come a long way since the first book. I look forward to reading more in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Star- Crossed Celestials Duet series. I would really recommend reading these books in order so you follow the story of our characters and understand how they are in the position they start this story from. This is a paranormal MM romance. It is also a twist on Romeo and Juliet. This is a story of forbidden love and all the pain and hurt that goes along with it when you can’t be with the person you really love because of circumstances out of your control. Jace and Cyrus finally found each other and found their soul mates, however that wasn’t meant to be. With Jace being removed by law and Cyrus choosing to stay to carry on protecting the world by keeping demons under control the lovers are forced apart.
Jace is a Watcher who’s job is the look after the humans and keep the demons under control. Cyrus is a Messenger and his role is to keep the Watchers under control. Because of their differences they shouldn’t be together. Its not right or the way things should be. When Jace is involved in trouble he is banished from Las Vegas leaving his home,family and love behind.
Neither Cyrus or Jace are coping well being apart and Cyrus is trying desperately hard to find him to reunite with him. But with a war that keeps breaking out, being monitored by his fellow Messengers and an ex lover who will stop at nothing to get Cyrus back it’s going to be one long fight for him to find the man he truly loves.

This story is emotional, you can really feel the heartbreak and torment that both Jace and Cyrus go through being apart and also their determination to find a way to get back to one another.
The author really brings this story to life and invites the reader into a world that is fast paced, engaging and makes you feel like you are beside Jace and Cyrus every step of the way.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rogue is the sixth book in The Talisman series by Tam DeRudder Jackson and is my first time to read a book from this author. This is a paranormal romance with quite a bit of steamy romance, deceit, magic action, mythology and so much more!
Baz (the main character) finds out about a huge lie that has been hidden from him and now he’s not too sure about his life choices and about the path that his life is on. As a rogue warrior, he has definitely had his fair shares of going to hell and back and now finds himself wrapped up in the middle of a supernatural battle. He also discovers that there are some high stakes and things are not looking good at all. Delany (other main character) is a talisman-warrior who happens to also be a hybrid, has found herself doing nothing but protecting her warrior community for as long as she can remember. She has now found herself in a unique predicament, not only has she been kidnapped, but she also has to fight her fatal attraction to the ‘enemy’. Will sparks fly or will she be able to accomplish her task at hand and be able to defeat her enemy?
This book actually happens to be the sixth book in a series, I read it as a stand-alone book, but I really suggest reading the rest of the books that come before this one. There were times when I found myself very lost and confused. Now I will say that the book was entertaining, I just felt like there were times when things weren’t described or refreshed from the previous books. But nonetheless, great job to Tam!

As we all know the story of Little Red Riding Hood. That may be true. Little Red is off to grannies house. No talking to strangers and “Please pick me some flowers for my tea.” This author did so much more with the story. She made it more about plant discovery and their uses. Which once again gets the children out of the house. There are all kinds of flowers within our neighborhoods. With Spring here new plants and flowers are blooming. What a great time to pick up this book and enjoy the adventure that this author has planned out for her readers. I must say this author has impressed me every time she plans out her stories. My grands have loved each of this author’s story. The projects that follow are amazingly fun as well.

Madeline is back for another suspenseful mystery in this book. I enjoy her character and what she brings to the story. She is my favorite for sure. I found this book to be well written and engaging. This is a story that is hard to put down that has twists and turns that you won’t see coming. There is great growth with the characters as well as the plot throughout the story.

Little Red is Lois’s retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. It is another fun tale in the Science Folktales series. Children will not only to enjoy reading about Red adventures but will actually learn as they go.
Red sets off to visit Granny and encounters a wolf along the way where the two find plants and flowers and a little bit of scientific learning along the way. Red must use her detective skills to thwart the wolf and make sure Granny is safe.
There is a little science, a little mystery and a twist or two that children 4 – 8 years old will be delighted with this story. The colourful pictures are bright and will pull little eyes and minds in to the story.
