Rise of the Y by Angela D. Shelton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is my first YA dystopian book. I have read NA dystopia’s and thy weren’t nearly as good as this book. It handled topics like rebellion, love, grief ect.. fairly well and I was impressed. Lexi is a strong willed, stubborn character. It starts off with Riley getting a spouse that she’s not too fond of, and a dedicated job, but her consequences come swiftly in leu of her gaming the system. Tragedy strikes, and Riley is unsure of what to do. My daughter and I read this together, and she absolutely loved it. We can’t wait for the next book to come out next, because we want to know what happens!
Shadow Bringer: Raven Academy by Brandi Elledge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The cover is what caught my attention for this book, and reading it was just as amazing. This book was captivating right from the beginning, and I couldn’t pt it down. The characters were very well written and relatable that you can really see yourself as someone in this book with everyone. This was intriguing and captivating and very creative from the beginning. Riley is an amazing character that has to deal with so much in this book, as a teenager that is about to shift or does, she? This book is filled with so much from danger, suspense, adventure, twists and turns, and so much more. If you love vampires, witches, werewolves, and the supernatural, this book will not disappoint.
The Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fenimore James is a dreamer and wants to move away from his home, so he decides to run away and join the Outlaw gang run by Red Evans. So as he is established himself with in the group he changes his name and becomes Simon Shaw.
Simon sees the sheer brutally of the gang with some things he wished he had not witnessed but while he is trying to reconcile with this life within the gang and the crimes committed he is also battling with in his private life. While struggling to come to turns with the attraction to another gang member they are forced to hide the relationship and have snatched moments beings the two of them together and become a strong couple.
But in the meantime some one is killing the gang and can they find the person or are they all in the killers cross hair.
This is a chunky book but it needed to be to tell the story properly, I loved the discovery journey Simon had through the book and him just wanting to be part of a family which in the end was not quite what he expected. The story was great to read to see another era and racing through the trilling twists and turns made this a great story to follow and be immersed in. I loved the writing and the characters were well developed and added to the whole book.
The Catford Catastrophe Zone by Petra Jacob
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was quite the thrilling adventure. It did remind me in some ways, such as the zones (ex. poverty) of The Hunger Zone. This was a story I couldn’t put down. It’s a crazy world (who knows, could our world end up that way?). I couldn’t put it down. I was totally drawn in by the characters. I am usually turned right off a story with nonbinary. The pronouns make it to hard for my brain to comprehend at time (complications from surgery). The AI boss being that way was so interesting that I had to see where that went. It was a totally good story all around. I’d put it right up there at the top. This is a must read dystopian/scifi/fantasy. Excellent story.
Shadow Bringer: Raven Academy by Brandi Elledge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was a fantastic read! I felt like it had the perfect supernatural balance between the community. Not one get more “screen” time, each one gets about an equal amount. Riley lives in a very “cult-like” village. Nobody is allowed beyond the fence. It’s a dangerous world outside the fence. So when some new students from outside of the fence are welcomed into their little village, Riley is instantly enamored. Especially one particular character. But his knowledge and help come with a price. A steep price. Does she risk everything to go beyond the fence? Or does she stay in her town where it is “safe?” I seriously can’t wait to read the 2nd book to see what happens!
Yesterday’s Over by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Assistant Medical Examiner Trudy Beasley loves her job, although the tragedies and heartbreak come through her doors everyday, Trudy enjoys giving answers to the victims families and hopefully be able to bring peace in some form. Until one day an explosion rips through the city and uncovers bones that may be beyond her expertise and requires help to answer the questions.
Ben Roberts is an expert in the world of Anthropology and when he receives a request to help with the Medical Examiners office this peaks his interest especially when the examiner is Trudy. Ben and Trudy start to work on finding the identity and the reasons behind the death but as they investigate more and more it becomes more intense, but when they uncover secrets and things people want to keep quiet but as they become more involved in the case there chemistry increases and in the end can they solve the mystery?
I loved all the books in this series so far and this one is just as good, although this is the third book you can feel comfortable reading as a stand alone story, although previous characters are referenced it does not take away from the story or the relationships.
The drama building in this story was well written and the book flowed with the thrilling twists and turns. I have loved Trudy as a character in the other books but you really get to see her tick in this story and Ben adds the chemistry of passion and love for her in the best possible way. I also love the way Trudy truly cares about the dead, always wanting to help with the narrative and story of how they ended up where they did which means at times she wears her heart on her sleeve.
I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and hopefully more to comes.
The Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book started off hilarious. I loved knowing everything that Fenimore (Fenny or Simon if you prefer) is thinking down to his most intimate or silly thoughts. It really gives the reader a better idea of the main character, which is always great. The one thing I have to say about so much detail though, is that I wish the non important information was left out. There is so much detail that I felt like I had to weed through what information I needed for the plot and what information I did not need.
I also feel like with so much information, it could have been separated into smaller chapters. There was also confusion when the author used the first and last name interchangeably. When they were talking about Monty Parker, but instead of saying Monty, Parker was used to reference the character, I had to go back and re-read multiple times.
HOWEVER, this book has everything. It is historical fiction, mixed with LGBTQ+ romance, along with a mystery/thriller. I highly recommend to anyone looking to find a new, different book. I loved the characters, especially Simon and Monty. They are great characters with amazing personalities. Even though they are part of a gang, they are so kind and gentle as you get to know them. You will not regret picking this book up.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a fantastic start to this series with a great mix of characters and an interesting storyline. Some characters I loved, some I wanted to reach through my I pad screen and forrid slap them and others I just plain thought were selfish brats who I hated. I think the fact that these characters brought out these emotions in me shows what a wonderful author Ms Hart is! She really brought the pack to life for me. So much so that as soon as I finished reading this book I brought the next two! I can’t wait to get reading!!

Wolfbane by Celia Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was an amazing book! I loved that you never know what to expect, there are so many surprises on every page, and it was exciting. I love that the characters are so dynamic, and each has their own uniqueness about them. I loved getting to know Jasmine, and seeing how completely opposite her best friend, Lucy, is from her. Jasmine is our main character who begins this story as the werewolf who lives her life as close to the rules set by her parents, as she possibly can, following strict religious beliefs that had been taught her whole life until she meets the soon-to-be alpha werewolf, Blake. He is your typical bad boy, conceited, lady’s man, party boy who isn’t used to being told no by anyone, especially the ladies. This makes the chase for Jasmine’s attention a challenge he’s excited to take on. Luke, who is Lucy’s attractive boyfriend at the beginning of the story, also happens to be someone that Jasmine has a major crush on. Once Lucy turns of age for the mate bond to take effect, she is sorely disappointed that Luke is not her mate. Luke also happens to be Blake’s soon-to-be beta. What happens when Luke finds his mate, will he be able to give up on his love for Lucy to follow the mate bond, or will he be willing to reject his mate and stay with the woman he loves, Lucy? Will Blake be able to seduce Jasmine into a relationship based more on friendship, if so, what happens when she finds her own mate? There are a lot of circumstances that are hard to take within this book, but it all helps to build up the character’s personalities, as well as the depth of their feelings. I was so happy to find out that there are 2 more books in this series because you do end on a cliffhanger, which leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to start the next book and read further about the fates of our four friends.

The Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool Is about a man who decided to find a more fulling and exciting life in the West.
Fennimore James lived a simple life with his family on the farm his father owned on the east coast, he only dreamed and read about the happenings of the wild west. After getting a idea to go there to fulfil his dreams of being like Billy the kid, he comes up with his moniker Simon Shaw and set off to search for The Evans gang. After a chance encounter with Red Evans himself in a salon His dreams have finally came true.
Life on the road isn’t what he had hoped for, the glitz and the glam of it fell short in his eyes. With Simons anxieties and withdrawn nature he doesn’t quite fit in. As he settles into the life and starts to make friends with the others in the gang he finds himself in hot water as someone one is pursuing the gang taking them out one by one. He also finds himself falling for one of the gang members and uncovering a truly heinous past of how his lover was added to the group.
There’s so much to unpack on in this book. A lengthy read but well worth it. Full of deceit, love and old west action. L.R Liverpool keeps you guessing the entire book. Also the ending is absolutely gut-wrenching. I have a feeling this book will haunt me in my dreams.

This is a lovely illustrated book about children and dog safety. The text reads in a poetic form with words rhyming that reminds me of Dr. Seuss. It gives sound advice for children to follow when interacting with their own dogs or one they don’t know. The book prioritizes safety with dogs for young children and the side can be used with any animal.

This is the first book that I have read from these authors and now they have a new fan. I love a good sports romance but this story exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book in a series that I’m going to be reading in the future. You will fall in love with these characters right from the start. The story kept my attention the whole way through. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story.

Necromancy the Musical by Debbie Hibbert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Life, Death, Learned. Magic can be dangerous. This is the first book I have read by Debbie Hibbert and there are not enough words to describe her talent. CeCe Leblanc is sixteen in New Orleans, she’s a necromancer and a week at drama camp has become so much more.
CeCe and her best friend Portia have been looking forward to Drama Camp for ages it seems, each for different reasons. CeCe loves to learn and participate in as many classes as possible. Portia is the eldest of six and needs a break from her chaotic home life before summer break starts. At the age of six CeCe learned in a traumatic way that she has necromancy magic when her dog Max died, and she raised him. Her mother told her that her magic was too much and instantly disappeared. Her father and his mother, Mawmaw raised her and helped her learn about her magic, not fearing it or her for it. Over the past decade CeCe has been her father’s secret weapon in countless murders, helping him catch the killers and bringing justice to the families, and peace to the spirits. One last visit to the morgue with her dad before camp changes everything. He said the case was weird, the wounds seeming to come from the inside. Unable to see the face to help she goes to camp and quickly is “spirit-kidnapped” in her nightmare, a Caster that has dirty magic leaves not only physical bruises on her but black magic tinging her. Zach, the cute guy at camp, has mixed reactions to her until she confronts him and after Ancestor Night at camp she truly understands why. He could sense the black magic on her and tells the reason he refuses to use magic or date someone with it. Zach warms her cold magic with his warm magic. The Caster needs her magic and haunts her in many ways trying to get it.
Who is The Caster? Why do they need her magic? Can CeCe help Zach see that magic isn’t all bad that it truly can be good and help others. Having been to New Orleans earlier this year for the first time I absolutely fell in love with the place, and reading this helped me imagine I was there again. The characters are a wonderful blend, each having their place of importance without taking anything from the other characters and helping the main characters evolve with the progression of the story. I honestly could not stop reading and at every turn found I couldn’t catch my breath as I rushed to the end. Can’t wait to dive into another work by this author. Instant new favorite book for the year so far.

Logan just can’t catch a break!! She takes her family on vacation and trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes. She and Ben go on a boat/fishing excursion and at the conclusion of that, they both witness an argument because the boat’s captain and a former employee. The next thing they know, the boat captain is dead and Logan’s phone is found and is evidence towards finding the one who did it.
This one has a pretty diverse cast of characters and the stories are becoming more developed as the series continues. I’m really enjoying this series!

This is my first time picking up a story by these authors Giselle Nevada and Jennie Chen. Reading I thought it was a really good book to have in your book collection. I think its for all ages but especially for Little ones. This book was really informative about how to play and respect the boundaries of yours and other dogs. I really liked the artwork, it was very colorful. It caught and kept the attention of my little one🥰. Definitely going to be buying my nieces and nephews copies so they can also learn from this information.

Wolfbane by Celia Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wolfbane (Wolfbane Series Book 1) by Celia Hart. This is such a great werewolf, shape shifter, romance. It’s the story of Jasmine who is a good college girl and she has saved herself for her fated mate. When she meets Blake who is mourning the loss of his mate sparks fly and she is more than tempted to give up on saving herself. She finally figures out who her mate is and its Luke, her best friends boyfriend. Not a good combination. Blake is the soon to be Alpha and Jasmine loves spending time with him and they vow to always be friends even if they don’t end up together. Lucy is her best friend and Luke’s girlfriend. Lucy is not the best friend, she is always leading Jasmine into bad situations and I had a hard time liking her. Will Jasmine end up with Luke staying true to her fate and ruin her friendship with Lucy or will she stay follow her heart and give Blake a chance? Such a fast paced love triangle.
Vanishing Day: A Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller Logan Book 4 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I’m working my way through this series pretty quickly and I have to say, this has been my favorite book so far. It covers the sensitive topic of domestic violence and I think it was done in a way that covered it delicately.
Logan has a new neighbor and she’s pretty tight lipped on where she’s from. However, Logan isn’t one to push and when Lori starts to open up to her and spend some time with her shopping, Logan realizes that all might not be well. One day when baby Shannon turns up on Logan’s doorstep, she immediately is concerned about Lori and finds her beaten within an inch of her life. Not knowing any of Lori’s background, all Logan can do is call the police and get the investigation started.
Meanwhile, Ben drops a bombshell on Logan that gives her a lot of things to consider. She’s not sure she’s ready for what he’s asking about and it could change their relationship forever.
While there is still a lot of repeated things in this series, it’s starting to become a little less. This book could be read as a standalone but the reader would be missing out on the previous adventures that Logan and crew have been involved in.
Almost and Forever by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This story is raw and emotional but so beautifully written…..this story at times just gutted me to my core. This story is a blend of love, loss, forgiveness, secrets, trying to hold on but have to let go with some twists I definitely did not see coming. I cannot stop thinking about this story of Adam and Hope……
Adam and Hope meet on a chance encounter….never thinking they would meet again. When Adam suffers an unimaginable loss, he slowly spirals downward. Hope and Adam meet again hence another chance encounter, this time it is not so kind. Grief consumes Adam until Hope brings him back to life with her kindness and friendship…until it becomes more. When blurred lines are crossed and secrets are revealed will Adam and Hope’s love survive….
I highly recommend reading this book….it is hard not to give anything away…..but you will not be disappointed. Grab some tissues….this is a fantastic read.
No Amends by Angela Lam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was a good quick read. It was written from two different characters’ perspectives and goes back and forth from the present to when those two characters meet. There are things you won’t like about each character in this book. I was not a fan of Dee and was rooting for Layla even though at times she frustrated me. Tang was in a class all her own. Which just makes it even more realistic in my opinion and the characters more believable. I was not expecting the ending at all and just when I thought there were no more plot twist there was another. This was definitely a good first read by this author and I will be looking into more books by them. If you are looking for a quick interesting read with great twists give this one a try!
Whisper Creek by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Another great Logan McKenna Mystery! This time Logan is helping a friend who is one of four suspects in a murder. Of course Logan can’t help but look into who may have committed the crime. The author does a wonderful job of world building so we can really imagine how the characters are feeling and how they respond to Logan’s search for the suspect. Will the police figure out the right suspect or will Logan dig deeper to find the true suspect?
You won’t be disappointed reading any of this series. It does help a bit to start from the first book as some characters pop into a book at any time. The author sure keeps us readers hooked!
Sweet Vengeance by Pamela Gibson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sweet Vengeance is the third book in the Mission Belles Series, and is a historical romance. I usually do not read historical novels OR romance but this one had a twist of mystery and adventure that appealed to me so decided to give it a try. I was unaware this was a series, and this is the third book but fortunately it can be read as a standalone and was easy to follow. I’m sure if you read the others, it wouldn’t be a bad idea if the plot continues from the previous reads, but it is not needed.
In this story, Elena is on a mission to carry out her mother’s dying wish and to find the man that ruined her family. Sean is a man that doesn’t trust easily, but maybe that will change when paths and plots become crossed. Will Elena have the heart to carry out her mother’s revenge, or will love win instead??
I did like that the story remains historically accurate for the time period (as far as I can tell, I am no history buff) and nothing seems out of the ordinary for San Francisco Gold Rush days. I also liked the revenge plot, and all of the fluctuations of emotions throughout the book. Nothing felt unrealistic and characters were angry when they should be, and tensions were high at accurate moments. Overall I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked this one, and may go back and read the others in the set before this to see if it makes the story even better! Give genres a try that you usually wouldnt touch, you might like it!

He had been working on the Bennet farm to earn back his mother’s farm. The bennet family said they forgave Glen for what happened but truely they didn’t. It wasn’t until Becky told her brothers off when they noticed that her and Glen were together a lot. Becky was the provider of the family, the care taker but she was lonely, just as Glen was. I love that Glen was so respectful to Becky and her family through everything. It wasn’t until Roy landed in the er after a heart attack did her family truely know that Becky was in love with Glen, but she was lonely. They gave their stamp of approval for Becky and Glen to be together.<br />This was a slow burn romance which was adorable, I loved the playlist for the book.

Kneading a Winning Idea by Terri Sabol

This book has been created with the whole family in mind. The story was fun, engaging and we loved reading it. Every one of us was rooting for Ben and wanted to see him win the competition. The story was easy to follow and entertaining the whole way through.
Even more than the story, we loved the recipe provided at the end of the book. As soon as we saw that, time was set aside specifically for us to do the baking, which was even more fun than the reading. This book has been one of our favourites of the year and I foresee many more baking days to come.
