I have to say I love what the author Liza Snow did in this book. Wonderful characters and I love the attention to them. Can that really be any more spicy in this book? I love Cassandra and Chandler the chemicals are real for these two but can that keep the fire burning? When I read it I was like OMG… Teacher and student relationship too hot.

Lap Baby by Amy Q. Barker – Review by Rebecca Hill

Lap Baby: Emotional Women's FictionLap Baby: Emotional Women’s Fiction by Amy Q. Barker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a work of fiction, however it is based on truth for the children who fly under the age of two. It made me think. It also haunted me much like the characters who were haunted for 20 years. This book was so good! There is one explicit scene at the end of the book. I loved the prologue and how the story started. Julie Geiger is a flight attendant who was working during a horrific plane crash. She was one of 4 survivors; the story follows the lives of these survivors. Paige was a “lap baby” during the crash, and the only baby who survived. Marie’s baby did not survive, and she blames that loss on Julie. Julie and Marie (and to a lesser degree the other two survivors) find their lives on hold for twenty years, unable to move past the plane crash. I loved the growth in the characters and how they learned to move forward. There was a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming and was awesome too! This book is a fantastic read and worth every minute of your time.

I found this book thoroughly encompassing, the characters Angelo and Lucia are lifelong family friends that both hide their true feelings so well they both move on.<br />Angelo, friend, protector, watches closely over Lucia, then breaks her heart, and his own. <br />The Character growth is well written as we find them re-acquainted after years. The characters themselves have grown and matured as they pick up a relationship that has grown as well.<br />They learn to lean on each other and can be with each other again.<br />This is an emotional book that has many aspects of life that some may find upsetting. <br />I found this book an easy and enjoyable read. If you are looking for a friends to lovers with a few twists along the way then this is the book for you.<br />

Trapping the Butterfly (Butterflies Fly Free Series Book 1) by Debra Parmley – Review by Kerry Carr

Trapping the ButterflyTrapping the Butterfly by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a lovely coming of age story set in the 1920. It is a short story and I was able to read it in one sitting. The author does an amazing job and the research into the era from the gangsters to flappers this story has it all.
Bethany has lived a very sheltered life with her aunt and uncle. Since her parents died she has been living with them. They have kept her sheltered, trying to turn her into a proper lady. However as Bethany grows she feels a desired to spread her wings and be just like the other girls her age.

With her 18th birthday coming she finally realises this is her chance to get the freedom she craves, however her aunt and uncle has other plans.
Add to this the danger she faces when she catches the eye of a gangster as well as the eye of the policeman and this beautiful emerging butterfly may have her wings clipped before she even stretches them.

I really enjoyed this story. Bethany’s character is very strong and determined and even though she is nieve about life you can see her character growth as the story progresses.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Whew! What a quick read! One day was all it took since I struggled to put this down and it flows along so nicely I just kept turning pages. I love the storyline. I really felt the emotions of these two characters. They lost so much but could regain it if they can get past..the past. One of my favorite things in here is the pow wows he has with the other men. Their ideas and insight made me laugh. Along with their bickering all in the name of helping their friend.

This is a smashing start to a new series! I loved every second and am secretly hoping the next book is Zara and Noah. She seems like a spitfire!

This was another cute installment to the Buckeye Falls family. The way they intertwine stories is lovely and can be also read as a standalone. I would suggest reading them all because each is a sweet addition. I really thought that the chemistry of the characters was well done and enjoyed the plot. I’m a sucker for second chances as well as a lakehouse setting.

Rise of the Hunter (Blood Prophecy Series Book #4) by Barb Jones – Review by Angela Hayes

Rise of the HunterRise of the Hunter by Barb Jones
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

“EVIL DOES NOT DIE. IT SEEKS VENGEANCE.”

Rise of the Hunter is the fourth book in the Blood Prophecy series by Barb Jones. This is an original paranormal story with witches, vampires, demons, angels, Hawaiian shamans/culture/history/gods, the supernatural, good vs evil, plots, agendas, vengeance, magic, mythology, drama, action, adventure, suspense, mystery, intrigue, tension, mysteriousness, prophecy, twists, and danger.
This book focuses on the Tall Dark Man (from the series), as well as the return of the main characters from the previous books- as Ms. Jones weaves an intriguing tale that was made even more interesting by injecting some of her personal history/culture into her story.
Even though this is the fourth book in the Blood Prophecy series, it is also the first book in a trilogy focusing on the Tall Dark Man, so I am interested in seeing where we go from here. Having said that, I Highly recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one as there is a lot of information and backstory that you will probably need in order to save any confusion here as the character introductions and other relevant details are contained in those previous books.
Again, as with Ms. Jones other books, there is a LOT going on in the story, making for a interesting read- BUT with the story being told from so many perspectives (at least 18 individuals POV’s) plus all the time jumps, made for a bit of a jumbled, and at times, confusing read. The transitions were a bit choppy which added to the unsteady feel. I think the story would have been better if the ‘information’ was provided from much fewer perspectives, and the ‘historical’ details/stories were provided through the ‘current’ dialogue instead of all the time jumps, I mean we jump through so many centuries, even as far back as the birth of Pele- Hawaiian Goddess-Hawaiian Creation, then visiting Nostradamus, ancient Hawaii, various cities/places in the present day, as well as jumping back to B.C. a few times, then back to ‘present day’, then back in time again, then forward again, and so on and so forth- which honestly just made me a little dizzy and added to the confusion- and just seemed to me to be more like haphazard info dumps. But the mysteriousness that Ms. Jones infused into her story definitely added to the overall intrigue and feel of the story- amping up some tension while adding interest.
The story is set to continue, so I will have to wait to see what Ms. Jones has in store for us, in the future instalments.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Barb Jones.

I loved the art in this book, the aesthetic is so pleasing. The story is cute, I enjoyed the rhyming and the Giant controlling whether or not the sky falls. Colleen was brave to take her dad’s place to try and help. I think the visuals alone will draw kids in, and then the story will help them fall in love with book. Colleen’s dad may seem to others, not to have a “real” job but, the neighbors can all go about their days not worrying about the sky thanks to the giant.

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is the first book in a new series for this author. It is also the fourth book in the current series which I highly suggest reading as well. This will help with your enjoyment of this author’s writing skills. I enjoy how she uses details to make her books realistic and as if you are part of the story. This book is no different. I found this book to be well written and a great start to this new series. The characters pull you into their dark world of the supernatural. A fight be good and evil but who will win, only fate knows. There is great growth with the characters and the plot throughout. They are strong, connectable, creative characters that add so much to the entertainment value of the story. I also enjoyed how fast paced and engaging this story is. It is easy to read which I highly recommend reading.

Earl of Griffith (Once Upon a Widow Book 6) by Aubrey Wynne – Review by Shadel Ayerbe

Earl of Griffith (Once Upon a Widow Book 6)Earl of Griffith by Aubrey Wynne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Earl of Griffith (Once Upon a Widow) by Aubrey Wynne is a great historical romance.

You will pay close attention to every word Maeve says. After Roarik O’Neill was killed in the midst of Ireland’s political instability, she is leaving Dublin with her mother Helen. Despite the opposition of her family, Helen, an earl’s daughter, married Roarik after being swept away by passion and adventure. She and Roarik didn’t live in a mansion like a lady would; they made due with a small flat and her scant supplies. Helen was upset by her living situation as well as the fact that her husband loved Ireland more than she did. As a result of her late husband’s political engagement, Helen, now a widow, is leaving Ireland. She does this to protect herself and her daughter from any harm.I found it to be a sweet and moving romance with appealing characters and a heartwarming plot. I adored the overwhelming allure of the Earl of Griffith, widow Lady Helen, and her gorgeous daughter Maeve, as well as their touching tale.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even more one-of-a-kind characters. The story really transports you into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow! I found this story to be quite exciting. The Queen and her friends are in for the battle of their life. Good and Evil. The Tall Dark Man makes his return. Having read the first book and then jumping here to book 4 made it a touch confusing but I did finally get my bearings. The story went back and forth giving history of the prophecy leading to the third battle. As a paranormal fan, I love that there’s a bit of everything in there: vamps, stone demons, witches, you name it. Fantasyland. You are pulled right in from the beginning as the story delves right into how the tale began. I found it to be well-written. The time jumps were done smooth so that you could follow the story without getting lost. The Hawaii history was quite fascinating and a wonderful touch to the story. I believe it’s a story worth reading. I do think this is better read in order but you can do stand-alone.

Holding up the Sky (Giants and Monsters) is a wonderfully written children’s book that children will love reading. One thing I love most about this author is every one of her books teaches us a lesson of some sort. This one teaches us to work together and not be fearful of those who may be different. My son loved this book a lot. Collen thinks her dad holds up the sky no one in town believes that he does. But what will happen when he puts his hands down? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next . We look forward to reading more from this Author.

I lost the game.

Now? I’m going to lose everything else, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.

Sacrificing Damon, who turns my world upside down with a single touch, for my best friend’s happiness is a no-brainer. Protective and determined to make me his, Damon didn’t get the memo. And he’s made it clear that he isn’t going to let me go without a fight.

There’s only one thing that can destroy the happiness I’m beginning to find. It isn’t within the walls of the academy, but behind bars. The secrets I’m keeping are about to come crashing down, and when the dust settles, I’m not sure if there’s going to be anything left of my life worth saving. 

Brutal Nights is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult, high school bully romance with plenty of angst, heat, and a HEA. This is the conclusion of Brutal Days, and Skylar and Damon’s duet. This book contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing.

Author Interview with Barb Jones

Huff… Puff… Grind! (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jamie Burns

Lois Wickstrom has crafted yet another science/STEM related picture book! The twist on the Three Little Pigs is that each pig studied architecture in school. When they begin building their houses it is to test their ability to make wolf-proof houses. The pigs go through the process of designing their houses by drawling plans, and then they each began building the houses. As an educator I always think about activities that can go with each children’s book that I read. The perfect activity to go with this book would be to have kids research sturdy materials to build houses, and then draw floor plans for their houses. Afterwards, provide materials for students to use to build their houses. Each house can be put to the huff and puff test by having classmates or a strong fan blow on the houses. This is a wonderful book, and I would definitely recommend it for a great summer activity! On a side note, I really like the different font faces used on the pages and how they go with the story.

This is a bit of an adventure with a few messages/lessons along the way. With some fantasy and a touch of drama, it makes for an engaging and fun read- feeding both the imagination, as well as imparting messages on kindness, cooperation, helpfulness, not to be fearful, and not jumping to conclusions or judging a book by its cover.

Between kids and work, these two have lost the spark that brought them together. Embark of their journey of rekindling through quirky, loveable characters in this soft romance.

I’d imagine this book could be read as a stand-alone but would encourage reading the books in order. Characters from previous books appear and we get to live in Buckeye Falls once more. I cannot wait to see what else is in store for Buckeye Falls!

Tally and the Angel: Book Three, Japan by Eleanor Dixon – Review by Jamie Burns

Japan is the third book in the Tally and The Angel series by Eleanor Dixon. Tally takes the reader on amazing and unforgettable adventures to India, Canada, and now Japan! If you have not read the other books, they are amazing, and I highly recommend getting your reading passport out and visiting the other locations with Tally! In Japan, Tally explores the Japanese culture including sumo wrestlers, museums, and samurai. Tally meets two news friends while her father is on a work trip to Japan and they are excited to interact with her! When Tally visits the museum, things start to get strange and she must rely on Miyu and Yoshi to help her figure out what is going on. Tally seems to have a hack for getting involved with curses, but the big question is can she find her way to break the curse this time?! Each book in this series involves mysteries, suspense, supernatural beings, and an adventure packed full of twists and turns. I love that each adventure helps the reader learn more about the various traditions each country has that Tally has traveled to.

Its heartwarming and heartbreaking at times. This VERY talented author is someone new to me but I can say that it definitely wont be the last book from this author that I read. I do offer a handy hint: She tells us how she came across this story and then wrote this book in the authors notes.

Emotional, heart wrenching, forgiveness, guilt…..this is the story of this book. I am gutted but yet find hope when I read each page.

There are 4 survivors of a plane crash many years ago. Over 100 died in the air disaster and somehow the 4 survivors’ lives are forever changed. Julie, the stewardess, tries hard to fight for change, as her guilt haunts her on the loss many, but especially trying to cope with Maria’s son, who was a “lap baby”. Paige was the only “lap baby” that survived, but at what cost. Julie wants change in how the protocol of dealing with a possible air accident and when children, especially lap babies, are on flight. There is a 4th survivor as well, that really comes full circle…but in which way? Will there be forgiveness and healing after 20 years have passed?

This story was fantastic women’s fiction that really felt real….and the epilogue just choked me up as I am trying not let my tears flow. This is a fantastic read and I highly recommend this book.

Tally and the Angel: Book Two, Canada by Eleanor Dixon – Review by

I thought that the first book in this series was good, but book two is even better!! What an amazing adventure that awaits Tally in Canada where her father moves to become a much needed doctor for the area. However, things are not quite right and Tally soon learns about a curse that she must try to break. There is a lot riding on Tally to defeat the curse considering she might not get to see her dad again if she does not. This book had me on the edge of my seat as Tally met one challenge after another with the wolves and other super natural beings. This is a great series and I am happy to being reading book three soon to see what other adventures await Tally next!

We got brief glimpses of the two of them in the previous novels, so it was wonderful to get to know them both better! I loved that we got to see the POV of both characters and their internal and external struggles. The difficulties that they both faced were very realistic, but I loved that they both wanted to try, but were struggling in the execution of it. I loved that we got to see some brief appearances from characters from previous books. This is a wonderful series and I am absolutely dying to get to read the next novel in the series.
