I thoroughly loved this book. It was a short read and I was so wanting more. I love these types of stories and this one did not disappoint me. Now this book would be suitable for young readers wanting to dip into crime books. It was well written.
Eve is drawn to Murder Creek and the disappearance of Lacey. So much so that she asked for an incomplete on her paper for school so she could write on this particular case.
What she uncovered at Murder Creek was not only answers but peace about a murder many years before Lacey disappeared. I loved how the author gave credible information and sources. This book shows that all it takes is one piece of information and a whole more will unravel.

Antoine has been alive for centuries by being a hybrid, a being that is both angel/vampire with the duty to protect humans from demons and other supernatural threats.
Not only does he have a demon that continuously causes havoc named Gustav who would turn the innocent humans into demons but he also has to find his mate.
“If I didn’t connect with my mate soon, I’d die. And if I died, she’d follow soon after.”
Have I seen this plot before? Yes. Was I still hooked? Of course. The title alone caught my interest and an angel/vampire hybrid character is not something I have read lately. I thought I knew where this story was going. I was so wrong! The plot twist is the reason why I will be recommending the novel to my friends.
I love the cover and I love that he has black wings.
I see that this is book two. I hope there is a book three that I can look forward to reading.
Antoine seems to think he will die before he finds his mate since
This was a quick read for me. It was an engaging story with a main character you root for. She really wanted to get down to the bottom of the issue. The author built the story in a way that keeps you invested. I would definitely recommend this book and look forward to more from this author.

I was immediately excited to read this debut novel after reading the blurb. My attention was quickly grabbed when I started. I enjoyed reading about Mitch and Mia and how their long-term friendship turned into romance and everything that led then to that point.

Russian and Royally Complicated By Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson
After reading Royally Complicated I knew I had to dive into this book! It was definitely a page turner for me and even better than the first! I have read a handful of Gwyn McNamee’s book now and I would definitely say she is one of my favorite authors! This series is the first I’ve read of Christy Anderson but I will be checking out more! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Reluctant Suitor was a great read. The book was a fast paced book. It was action packed. It was a good romance story. This is a series, however you could read it alone and be able to follow the story. I do feel like if you start from book one that you would understand the characters more. The world building and characters was well thought out.

Book two of this series. It was amazing. These two have been through a lot. Ian and Jared are headed to Maldarehm, the pirate haven. Since the isles Jarryd likes to keep his link closed and Ian open all the time. There is something strange about where they are. Ian is cautious about the place and Jarryd is a little weary but is more excited to discover where they are. Can the boys go back to the way they were before? Ready to book three.

L. Schneider – Review by Amelia Stansell
In all honesty, I normally try to wait series out so I can read them in one binge. And I’ve been torturing myself by continuing with this series and stepping outside of my comfort zone.
Phoenix and Aspen are not only at odds with one another but with themselves and we are in for a rollercoaster of a ride with this book.
They both are trying to figure out their place not only on campus but in the world and with the pressures of college life and life, their worlds go spinning out of control and who better to take it out on or blame but one another?
We are still seeing visits from characters from previous books, so we know there’s more to come but first we must see where this CLIFFHANGER takes us.

I tried to love this book…unfortunately, I read the second book first, so I pretty much knew the entire plot before reading this one and it just took away the joy of reading the plot from me.
It’s the classic American meets a foreign prince and falls in love. There is an uproar, and all is overcome. She’s a loveable person so she wins everyone over eventually. Fyn and Bridget are likeable characters and have chemistry…. I just couldn’t get into the story. It was like watching a movie when the entire plot was revealed in the trailer.
*This does not mean I will not read another book by either author or them as collaborators; I just would have preferred to read this book first.

I just want a Grandpa with a magical brass ring and I want to go on a carousel 😍
I’m blessed to be a librarian at a local school and my visitors are aged between 6-14 years of age so what kids have to deal with isn’t unknown to me ( I’m also a mum of 3) and I’ve a few that come to visit my place of safety just to escape , read, colour or build puzzle and with all these different little personalities this read became so real to me on many levels as I could see some of my little friends in this stunning read ❣️📚
I just love Russell’s grandpa and I’ve created a picture in my mind of what he looks like and obviously the kids know I’m reading and they want constant updates and what fun it’s like we’re living the story together in between classes and break times ❣️
My heart broke when grandpa took ill but at the same time it was Russell’s time to be bold and brave and this is where he grows and my mommy heart swells with pride but my childlike side is so envious !
I actually want to get a little toy carousel to put in the library and when kids ask I can share this story as inspiration for them ! I just adored this read !

The Secrets of Arkaim is the second book in The Reeds of West Hills by B.E. Padgett. This is a fun urban fantasy which is aimed at middle school aged children (9 – 12 years old)- but really can be enjoyed by any age (7 years and up). This paranormal tale continues the adventures of Jon and Frank Reed, the 10yr old perceptually gifted twins we met in the first instalment. They attend ‘West Hills School for the Perceptually Gifted’, a magical academy- as Jon and Frank have magical gifts that they are still learning to control. This story has them excited to compete in the “Zodiac Games” and they hope to help bring their house the title of champion. But strange things are happening- with disturbing dreams, a sinister shadowy figure, unsettling events, and a dangerous outbreak of paranoia which has the twins struggling to figure it all out in time. Add in their large zany family, action, mystery, secrets, a little mayhem, banter, friendship, family dynamics, fun, quirky characters, agendas, and a touch of the unexpected- and we get quite an engrossing story. As I said previously, the Reeds reminded me of the Weasley’s from Harry Potter- and the story definitely has some Harry Potter/Percy Jackson vibes- but with its own unique identity, which I love. Looking forward to the next instalment- “An Oracle’s Handbook” (Book #2). Happy Reading…

Dead Keen is book two in the Things Unseen series. This novel does well as a stand alone. The suspense is cleverly written and the reader is pulled into a tangled web. Nothing is as it seems and you’re on a roller coaster ride into a psychological thriller that keeps you turning pages until the end! Bring on book three!

This is book one in the Things Unseen series and the novel has chapters that alternate the point of view between Neve and Cornelius. The romance and suspense between the two is filled with heart-wrenching yearning and non-stop suspense. The reader questions who the good person is and who can you trust? I look forward to book two!

I’m not really sure how to word this one 😬I’m torn really because I want to share Ava and Matthias but at the same time I don’t want to because you need to read their story for yourself so they can share it with you , does that make sense !? ❣️📚
My heart was in the authors hands and she squeezes hard and as it feels like my hearts is going to stop she releases her boa constrictor grip , I catch my breath and then she squeezes again and so we do this “ dance” till the very beautiful end …,,,,please be patient with Matthias though , there’s so much to this man 🤗
Ava and her dad lived on the property where her dad was the estate manager but also more than that to the patriarch of the King family and she grew up with these boys ( Theo, Marius , Matthias , Kellan and Ronan ) and she was especially close to Theo , it’s like they were joined at the hip 🤣who used to joke that she was going to be his wife one day and everyone thought their story would unfold that way ….,,
Matthias was always harsh towards Ava and at times cruel and man I just want to climb into this book and really just give a slap around the head ! During a snow storm they’re “ forced” to spend time together and things take a very different and steamy turn and I feel like butterflies are dancing in my heart but not for long because Ava is sent to her aunt and she really doesn’t have much choice and Matthias never gets the message she sent …..this is the one time I want to “ shoot the messenger “ 🥲
Tragedy strikes and the boys come home and Matthias is harder , crueler and colder than before , slowly but surely pieces of the puzzle is put together and healing can take place and those butterflies return and I’m about to celebrate when another crushing blow hits and this time I really felt like there was no turning back but there’s thus thing about love , it endures and these push back against all odds and I don’t think there’s enough Kleenex to get me through this beautifully sad story but I’m grateful I held on by a thread because ever cloud has a silver lining …..
As much as I loved Matthias , Ava and their little family another person held a special place in my heart , dearest Eleanor you have a heart of gold and you’re an angel without wings 😍

Another great adventure with Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane. This trip takes them into a world where two Shinrees are worshiped as God’s and known as “The Twins”. Ian and Jarryd soon learn that things are not always as they seem. The character development was great in this book. I really felt like I got to know the personalities of the two better than the first in thos series. The writing just keeps getting better. This is book two, but you get to knkw the characters so well, you could read as a stand alone book, but you won’t want to. Another great fantasy book.

My family loves it any time I bring in a book by this author, and this was no different. Though it is a shift in what her typical books have been, we still thoroughly appreciated the adventure. My kids are 7 and 11, which I found to be a great fit for the tough topics we cover in this story, like deportation. I wasn’t sure if my youngest would handle the tough moments well, but the author does an amazing job facing these with the utmost compassion. I highly recommend reading this with any of the kids in your life!

This was a brilliant second installment of this series, and just like the first book, I was absolutely drawn in instantly. Both of my kiddos truly enjoyed the continuation at West Hills with the Zodiac Games! I am definitely not the target age range here, but I was still engrossed throughout the entire book. The flow is wonderful, the characters are so relatable, and I find myself very much looking forward to the next book. I highly recommend this for the kids in your life, but you may even find yourself enjoying it as an adult as well!

Perfect title, perfectly intriguing book. This is the first book I have read by the incredible Anise Storm, yes this is the second book in the series, but it can be read as a standalone. That said, I will certainly be going back to learn more about Viviana and Nazario. Deadly Vengeance is dual perspectives of Luca and Valenzia. Luca has grown up in New Orleans, but after the recent passing of his mother all her secrets come unraveled in the form of her journals. He had grown up thinking he had no father, no family outside of his mother as his maternal great grandparents died shortly before and after his birth. Valenzia has grown up sheltered to the extreme. Her parents have shielded her and her siblings from the harsh realities of not only their lives but the world, and those in it. While she had heard rumors of what her parents had done, she never believed them until she accidentally took her mother’s diaries from home. Instantly she learned that her mother was nothing but omissions and lies, her entire life built on them. Suddenly, she needs to know more, after confronting her mother she goes to Palermo in sure of her mother’s enemies. Luca is out for vengeance on the woman that caused his mother to flee all those years ago from her home. Keeping him from knowing his father, his family and learning his truth heritage. His vengeance for Viviana leads him to Valenzia who is the spitting image of her mother, his plan is set, but when she shows up in his town asking about his father, he takes the chance to take her early. The only thing he didn’t expect was the chemistry, the electricity that ignites not only himself but Valenzia. Who will succeed in their vengeance? Can Valenzia’s father rescue her, or will she be forced to carry out what her mother failed to do? The author’s ability to bring not just the beautiful scenery to life but the characters. You feel their fear in the most visceral moments, and your heart breaks when their hopes crumple. Will the sins of their parents finally have justice or will history repeat? I couldn’t help but devour each page faster than the one before it as a raced through the pages to see what would happen next. Can they truly get a happy ending born of vengeance and pain? I cannot wait to read the next installment and see what will happen next in this Italian Empire.

This story picks up on year 2 at West Hills School for the Perceptually Gifted for the Reed twins. It’s going to be a better year because everything is better then the first year!
The big announcement is the Zodiac Games. They only come along every 3 years and this happens to be that year! A mixture of physical skills and intelluctual abilities will be the focus of this super fun event. When a handful of students start getting sick, the Games become a low point of priority. Bigger issues arise when the military becomes involved and Jon and Frank find themselves under tight scrutiny.
I loved this book and read it pretty quickly in one afternoon. It will hold attention and is really hard to put down! While this is the second book in a series, this could be read as a standalone with minimal loss to the back story. I am super excited to read the next book in this middle grade series! This is great for fans of Sky High, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games!

E. Padgett – Review by Julie Johnson
This book is book 2 in the Reeds of West Hills series. This is a great middle grade series, and I have been really enjoying the creativity, suspense, and world building that is going into it. This series is about 11 –year-old gifted twins, Jon and Frank Reed, are set to return to West Hills School for the Perceptually Gifted for the second year (though their first full year). The boys have missed their school, and their friends even though they were able to spend some time with Mira over the summer at a conference for the perceptually gifted and their families. The boys are also excited when they learn that the school is set to hold their Zodiac Games, a competition that occurs every 3 years. The competition is between the houses to see which house is the best. What nobody expects is the darker, more sinister game that someone else on campus is playing, and trying to manipulate Jon and Frank into being a part of. This gets especially dangerous when all of the telepathy students start coming down with an unknown illness, and Frank worries that he may be next, all while Jon deals with a dark and shadowy figure in his dreams that seems to be determined to get something from him.

I enjoyed this story….the boys are back!! Jon and Frank Reed are on another journey while attending a school for the Perceptually Gifted …this time Zodiac Games are on the horizon. While trying to hone in on their gifts and learning how to use them, Jon and Frank also want to participate in the Zodiac Games and bring home a win for their house. When strange things happen….there are so many questions….this shadowy figure is causing some problem….Jon is seeing this questionable figure and feels like he cannot tell anyone to help while having issues sleeping as well…and sickness is hitting the students, will Jon and Frank be able to figure out what is happening with this and also what is going on with this shadowy figure that Jon can see that haunts him…
This book was a fun read full of gifts, mystery, adventure and magic. I highly recommend reading book 1 as you get to know the characters and continue into this story.

A friendship created through a penpal program between a girl in the 3rd grade from the USA and a boy in Ukraine. Amaleigha is excited to learn about her penpal through the letters exchanged between her and her new friend Vova. Not only are these kids learning about each other but also about the rich history of Ukraine and about the United States. As they get to know each other better, Vova shares that his family and the villagers are worried about the war with Russia. It is good to see the different experience these 3rd graders are learning about through their penpal. My children enjoyed the book as we read and discussed the current situation in Ukraine.

I am harder on sequels than debuts of a series, but was impressed with The Secrets…. starting with the fact the monochromatic and powerful cover doesn’t give away the plot. The story continues the twins second year at their special school for their unique abilities. The introduction picks up in summer, and enjoyed “attending” the conference with the twins. One thing I appreciated the interweaving of real historical artifacts and stories within the fictional story.
I enjoyed how we learn more about not only the twins, but their relationships with both peers and educators, and especially Jon we learn more about his worries. The Zodiac Games was an interesting twist (reminded me of Harry Potter #4), but enjoyed how empathy was shown throughout all the competition, creating a fantastic atmosphere. The continuation of the dreams from book #1 added to the plot, and is a strong point of this author.
I felt the pacing was slower in this book, and the conclusion was a little rushed (but at the same time, I know it is an a series, so it might be more resolved in the next book.

This was the best book in the series thus far. It gave me everything I need in a supernatural romance novel. First off the romance between Kodiak and Tam is hot. The chemistry is felt throughout the book. They are both strong minded people but they match each other. There is plenty of action in the story and the info they learn about the blood opal is interesting. I’d definitely recommend this story to anyone who enjoys supernatural romance.

I have fastly become a lover of Mafia stories(been reading them like nonstop lmao), so I was extremely excited to read this book and ohhhhh did it give me everything I was looking for on a enemies to lovers Mafia romance story 😍with it being dark and dangerous. Filled with suspense and pain and the chemistry between Luca and Valenzia is explosive and I love everything good and bad about it.

This is the second book in the Reeds of West Hills series. We again follow Frank and Jon, this time following their progress and the Zodiac Games. The emotions in this book felt deeper and the plot more defined. The story was again well-written, fun and engaging, with had more of an emotional impact with how the pair felt and reacted to their issues, feeling alone and overcoming the obstacles in the paths. There is once again mystery and adventure in this fantasy book for young teens, but can also be enjoyed as an adult. The writing is age appropriate and flows nicely. I look forward to finding out what happens next!

E. Padgett – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras
This is the first book in the Reeds of West Hills series. This falls into the 9-12 year old fantasy category but as an adult I still found reading this book an enjoyable experience. The story focuses on twins Jon and Frank, and the magical gifts they are learning to control at their magical school. The writing was age appropriate and easy to follow, setting up the series nicely. The plot was fun and entertaining, keeping me engaged throughout with wit mystery and adventure. I certainly enjoyed reading this, and will move straight onto the second in the series!

E. Padgett – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras
As children they fall and love. Then they are forced to be separated. After years apart there love is still as strong as before. Once reunited it seems they’re connection is still as strong. I really recommend this love story.

What an amazing story. Julie shows us all that even if there is something that might not be what you want, it could be exactly what you need. This story gave me all the emotions. I felt her anger and sadness and fear and inadequacy, and so many other things she was going through. I highly recommend this story. It was such an amazing read.
