My Big Red Monster (Giants and Monsters) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

My Big Red Monster (Giants and Monsters)My Big Red Monster by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My Big Red Monster is part of the Giants and Monsters collection, but they don’t have to be read together. I normally love the authors books, and while this book was cute, it is not one of my favorites. The main character has a monster under her bed, but her brother doesn’t believe her. After having her monster help with chores, she sends him over to her brother’s room. Guess he will learn first hand the monster is real! The book is short, and geared toward preschool/young elementary. My son is 7 and I would say that’s about the max age for engagement. The illustrations are wonderful and bright and detailed. I loved the slobber dripping from the monster on one of the pages.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sarge is an easy to read novella. This book is part of the Mission 3047 universe. It’s intriguing, interesting, entertaining, but also a little different. It was easy to become invested in this character. Sarge is complex yet a simple man. While this is a shorter story, it holds a powerful message. I like the sci-fi story element with UFO’s.

Tracker (The Talisman Series)Tracker by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this pre-qual to The Talisman Series, Tam DeRudder Jackson is such a thorough writer when it comes to creating a story full of details and leaving nothing out, she is a downright genius. Your imagination gets the biggest treat when you read her books. From the smallest of details to the surroundings of the characters, you can practically taste the smells around the characters, as they experience them. It is such a magical world that I feel like I could climb right into the story as a bystander. It was so easy for my imagination to follow along with the story being viewed in my mind. This is the kind of book that grabs my attention and keeps me reading straight through to the end, they are so amazing! This is the first book I’ve ever read in this series, and it will not be the last. I am so excited to continue on this journey and see where this series leads. I have to say I want to read more of Riley and Lynnette’s romance in order to learn more of Lynnette’s Talisman skills and see how they are able to benefit Riley’s Warrior skills. I am a huge fan of the paranormal especially when romance is a huge aspect of the book. This is a must-read series for me, and I cannot wait to continue on to the other books in this series and see where my imagination takes me.

Back again reading another book from this fantastic author. After reading most of the talisman Series, I was super excited to read a prequel in the series.I do love getting the origin story. I made quick work of this story. It was only 11 chapters or so, but even though it was a short read it was Still just as great as the other in the series. And just as the author says in her synopsis. This is a good place to start your journey reading these books. This follows Riley and Lynnette and the events that took place that ended up with them mated together 🥰 I look forward to finishing the rest of the books and any new ones that hopefully come out.

Belinda Williams delivers festive romance on a silver platter. I can always guarantee when inread a book who’s main character is down on their luck, it’s going to captivate me. This book was ready wrapped in a blanket with the fireplace going and it was perfection. Funnily enough I have been obsessed with watching Bondi rescue so I was up for this Australian vacation love whirlwind. I didn’t want it to end but it was good all through. I enjoyed the drama of the story line and the roll with it attitude of the fmc. Good read!!

Whisper Creek (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 7)Whisper Creek by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Valerie Davisson delivers another great Logan McKenna thriller. Back in Oregon at The New School, Logan discovers a dead body. This woman keeps finding herself in the middle of the flames! This book has the same believable, realistic, perfectly imperfect characters from the previous books and you can’t help but feel connected to them. The Oregon forest comes to life with the vivid world building Davisson brings to the table. I could almost smell the pine needles and hear the owl calling. Whisper Creek was full of the same twists and turns I have come to expect from Valerie Davisson, and I absolutely love it! This book kept me second-guessing myself about who I thought the murderer was. I can’t wait to read more!

Reckless Love: A Small Town Slow-Burn Forbidden Love Romance (The Bennetts of Langston Falls Book 4)

I loved Becky and Glen so much and was cheering for them from the beginning. Everyone deserves a second chance, but Glen was lucky they gave it to him after the history they all share.

I get that Becky is the baby of the family and older brothers are supposed to be super protective but I think the Bennett boys took it too far.

So many little details that are minor individually but together they add depth to the story and characters.

I have read several if not all of the books by Ms. Fletcher and have not been disappointed or left wanting more from that couple.

I’m hoping that there will be at least one more after the next one is released. Love knowing how everything turns out and there is one character I hope gets a chance to find love.

Tracker (The Talisman Series) by Tam DeRudder Jackson. This is the 6th installment in the Tailsman series but actually is a prequel so I think it should be read before the others. This is the story of Lynette and Riley who are trying to find their mate before a certain age. When Lynette goes to a party with her friends as does Riley and his friends. When they meet they know automatically they are mates but never dreamed it would happen so fast. The Gods wanted them to meet quickly but Morrigan will stop it if at all possible. Lynette doesn’t know what her skill is just yet and has to fight quickly. Riley is already a skilled warrior and has no problem in the battle and is ready to protect Lynette at all costs. Lynette figures out her place is to be with Riley at all times. The story ends with Lynette finding out what her skill is and how to use it along with Riley being by her side. Such a great love story!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Faking the Fall (Buckeye Falls Book 4) by Libby Kay is a great contemporary romance.

If Alice Snyder didn’t already know about her reputation, Buckeye Falls would be happy to remind her. She may be descended from the First Family in the town, but that doesn’t mean she follows the rules. She’s finally back home after ten years of traveling and attending school, and she’s eager to settle down—or at least unwind for a bit. Her neighbors are adamant about finding her a husband, which is the problem. There must be a method for her to get rid of them.James Gibson, an artist who is divorced, is eager to start painting again after leaving New York for the tranquility of a rural Ohio village. The only issue is that he is totally barred. He’s at a crossroads in his career and, despite his best attempts, his collection of canvases is blank.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

This book was an incredible read that left me wanting more. I really enjoyed it so much that I couldn’t read it fast enough it felt like. The Main character CeCe was unique. Solving Crimes with her father but also has responsibility towards the dead being a Necromancy. This book was super fun to read, and I really hope there is more to come. The twists and turns in this book really had me wanting to know what was going to happen next. The characters were hard not to either cheer for or hate or love. And I really loved the New Orleans feel to this book, I have never been there, and this book made it seem so real. This is a wonderful paranormal mystery with necromancy, crime and investigation, supernatural, suspense, voodoo, drama, twists and turns, humour, and so much more. Highly recommend this book.

I’ve really enjoyed following along with Logan and her journey in life. I feel like I’ve gotten to know her over these past six books. This book does start a little slow inn my opinion, but having read all of the previous books in the series, I knew it wouldn’t continue that way. The story jumps far within different time periods. It does so gracefully and with ease.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tracker is part of The Talisman Series and is a prequel to the other books in the series. It is a paranormal romance full of drama, danger, action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, Celtic Mythology, and fated mates. The story is told from multiple POV and centers around the characters of Riley and Lynette. In the beginning of the series these two were a couple already but this tells how they met. Riley is a skilled warrior who only cares about having a good time and going out to party with his friends. He is cocky, arrogant, and a bit self-absorbed. Riley has completed the sign ritual to begin his quest for a mate but has no desire to find his mate. Enter Lynette who immediately captures Riley’s attention and he instantly knows she is his mate. She is kind, sweet, brave, and down to earth which balances out Riley’s attitude. Lynette has talisman talents but is unsure as to what they are just yet. Riley and Lynette attempt to get to know one another but the evil goddess Morrigan is determined to keep them apart. The ensuing story is a battle of good versus evil as Riley and Lynette battle against Morrigan in their attempt to be together. A great read that kept me reading until the end. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Truth About Myths is book 3 in The Winemakers Series by Giovanna Siniscalchi. In this story, we go along with Viscount Henrique as he is tasked with accompanying Princess Isabel on a trip to Spain. Isabel is Henrique’s best friend’s sister and should certainly be safe from his rakish ways, right? I really love this series. Giovanna has the ability to make even the rakish characters attractive. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Isabel and Henrique. I’m a sucker for opposites attract. This book carried all the beautiful writing and vivid detail that Giovanna’s stories are known for. I adore this series. There is plenty of passion, steaminess, and political intrigue to keep you entertained. Everything is well-balanced.
