Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott- 5 out of 5 stars
Who doesn’t love an intelligent sexy woman with just a bit of sass? This is a great romance suspense novel. I loved every page and I could not find it in myself to put it down. Will Pavlo be able to save Regan and will they ever learn? This was a fun read and I recommend.
Raining Fish and Frogs by Lois Wickstrom- 4 out of 5 stars
Another great children’s book with beautiful black and white illustrations throughout. I love how the author teaches children with every book. This one being a scientific one about weird weather. I was a bit disappointed that the book lacked color. Fun book from front to back. I recommend.

Knight In Peril (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery Book) by Alice Bienia- 5 out of 5 stars
This was a quick read for me but I loved all of the action and excitement. Jorja traveled to Istanbul to meet up with her bestfriend Gabrielle only to find out later that she had been abducted. Torn between who Jorja could trust in a foreign country and who she couldn’t, she has to find her friend. I found this book to be the perfect little mystery thriller. I recommend this book.

Secrets are everywhere, especially in small towns. This is not the first book I have read by the talented Susan Specht Oram and once again I couldn’t put this book down from start to finish. All Karina wanted to do was fulfill her grandmother’s (Gigi) dying wish, repayment in her eyes for her Gigi taking care of her after her parents passed away. Karina is a twenty-four-year-old woman that was making her place in the world in Seattle as an artist, selling her pottery and paintings happy and living her dream. Her Aunt Jean calls her to let her know that Gigi’s health is taking a downward turn, and she needs to come back home and be with her. Without hesitation Karina packs her belongings and returns to her small town of Millersville. The final moments of Gigi’s life she tells Karina to take care of her café and to read her journal. She tells her “There is more hidden in this house than you realize. After I’m gone, look for clues.” Surprised to learn she had a journal a month passes, and Karina is still unable to make herself go through Gigi’s things, her papers, her drawers, she’s not ready to fully accept that she is gone. One busy day in the café a customer, Boots Brinker, finds the journal, a red leather book, the first page she sees states that the stock market has crashed, and she pulled all her money out of her bank account and hid it somewhere safe. Instantly she regrets not going through everything, taking inventory of what was in the house because just as quickly as the journal was found it instantly taken. Lost to her hunger and attachment to the journal, Karina does some legally questioning things, sneaking around houses when invited in and pretending to trust some who offer to help her find it. To add to the growing list of “customers” she meets her young cousin’s boyfriend finally, and it’s none other than Shane, her high school boyfriend that stole her heart and moved away and never called her again. Will Karina find the journal or is it lost forever? Why is everyone so interested in the journal? Do they think it can be used as a treasure map for hidden money? What is Shane doing back in town and dating her younger cousin? While the world is completely realistic, having lived in very small towns for over ten years now I completely understand the fact that secrets are everywhere. Karina starts with one goal that goes deeper than just a journal, what secrets will she uncover, and will anything be the same again after the truth is known?

They all get adopted quickly but Luna is left behind. She meets a cat who is also unique. Together, they treat each other with kindness and find a furever home!
I love the illustrations in this story! They are very vibrant and engaging. The story is also very well done. Share this one with youngsters of all ages!

Knight in Peril may be book #6 in this series, but I definitely think you could read it as a standalone, although I highly recommend that you read them all just to have a little background and insight into who Jorja is and the series as a whole is just fantastic. The suspense alone will pull you right in and you will not want to put it down. Jorja is a strong feisty lead character and relatable. She finds herself traveling foreign country (Istanbul) to meet her best friend Gabriella only to find her missing. Lots of lies, secrets and corruption and more as she is now in a race against time to find her friend. With danger lurking at every corner, you will have to read it to find out if they make it out or not. A definite page turner with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing.

Bad at Being Good is a best friend MM Romance and what an emotional read. This is a story that had me hooked right from the beginning and I devoured each page. Emotions ran high in this story, romance, secrets, turmoil, grief, forgiveness and promises. This is a fantastic story and I highly recommend this read, but please keep in mind to check the trigger warnings.

I have loved this series from the start of the original series! This one follows Cait and Gio’s story. So much happens and there is so much character growth. As always the author does an amazing job of describing the world. There are plot twists that I was not expecting at all and was taken by surprise as the story unfolds. You don’t have to read the first series to understand this one but it definitely gives you the full back story. I do recommend reading the first book in this series so you can know where Cait and Gio started and how their story plays out. I was also pleasantly happy with the ending and cannot wait for book 3!

WOW! This beautifully dark fantasy is absolutely stunning! I cannot believe this is the author’s debut because it is phenomenal. It was like diving into another realm from the very first page and experiencing everything firsthand. Sloane, Alvie, and Tolvar are exceptionally well-developed, and they will have you fully invested within a few pages. This experience pulled on every heartstring I have as the author expertly draws every emotion out of you. We get a well-built world with plenty of background in the beginning, and then I promise it picks up like nobody’s business. I couldn’t put it down once I started because I was obsessed with finding out what happened next. If you enjoy anything slightly related to the fantasy genre, this book is absolutely your next read!

The Catford Catastrophe Zone by Petra Jacob sounded so interesting from the description and sounded like nothing I had read lately. Petra was a new to me author so I wasn’t sure what to expect, and she sounds like a very diverse author. She was able to deliver a super unique story with this well-developed, well thought out, Dystopian, sci-fi, thriller, and I enjoyed this tale immensely.

This was the first book I had picked up from this author, and it was an incredible start! I am a big fan of all things sci-fi, so this dystopian adventure was right up my alley. It definitely kept me guessing the whole way through as the author threw curve balls every so often. I really loved the characters because they didn’t feel like your typical, run of the mill sci-fi gang. They were unique yet relatable and didn’t always behave in a way I could see coming. The author did an amazing job weaving their dark humor into the story as well. I am on my way to pick up more books by Petra. I highly recommend you pick this one up and enjoy the futuristic thriller!

Finding the End Zone is a romance about the Hotshot Jock and the Nerdy English major. Callahan and Jamaica are characters to fall in love with and the story line is easy to follow. The writer does an impressive job connecting the reader with witty banter and steamy passages between the characters that keeps you interested. This is my first read with this author but it definitely won’t be my last.

I did enjoy this book, it was interesting. The world created by the author was very different and I found myself drawn into the imagery. The story seemed to draw on current events and experiences then took us down a path of a possible future should we continue down the path we are traveling. It really was a scary journey and one I hope does not come to pass. I recommend this book and will definitely read further novels by this author.

This mystery is perfect for someone who just wants to curl up in front of a fire, with a cup of coffee and read. Perfect mixture of suspense, romance, heartbreak and friendship.
Follow Birdie as she tries to find out who killed her friend while trying to move on from the death of her husband and high school sweetheart.
Simons’ first set of series of Antipodes was absolutely amazing and when I heard about this new series that derived from Antipodes, I was very much eager to get the reading going. The 45th Parallel brought in different themes from the Antipodes series, which I fell in love with as well. Once this latest book came out, I wanted to know where the next adventure would take in this new series! If you are a fan of romance, dystopian, adventures, challenges, paranormal, etc., you will definitely enjoy this story as well. This story focuses on Caitlin and her husband, Gio, as they become ambassadors for the ACC and end up in Canada on their assignment. Although Caitlin demonstrates natural leadership qualities, they struggle to find their place in this new location. The struggles of all these new roles of wife and leader test the limits of the newly married couple along with adding the element of unexpected old enemies reemerging. Such a good story and so many details. Make sure to read previous books as it will give you a deeper appreciation for what to expect in this story.

Benji made a promise a long time ago and now he finds it harder and harder to keep that promise. Milo has grown up from the boy he used to be into a man, a man that Benji promised to stay away from. When grief brings these two men together emotions come into play and their attraction cannot be denied.
This is an engaging story that pulled me in right from that start. Milo and Benji are each dealing with their own problems but together they may be able to find their way. It was nice to see the relationship grow between the two men. Emotions take center stage in their story and will pull on your heart at times. The two learn that life is full of ups and downs but with the right person at your side you can survive and even thrive. The author does a nice job of bringing these characters and their emotions to life.

Makayla is back in school and those she thought were friends are keeping a distance while new people are watching Makayla like a hawk. Makayla finds herself being called to an unknown and mystery surrounding the name Peacock has her wondering. A new headmistress and a lot of bans has Makayla without her helpers. Everything is going in a different direction and Makayla is not sure who to trust.
Another wonderful read in this series. Answers to some of the questions begin to present themselves. I love Makayla, she is a bit of a firecracker and I am very intrigued with where the series goes.

Woman Unbroken by Alexandra Fleder is available now in eBook and Physical Book ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review
Woman Unbroken focuses on discovering oneself while carrying baggage of a broken past. This is my first time reading a novel written by Fleder and it sure did not disappoint. Fleder touched on some pretty heavy topics without hesitation and for that I praise her writing. Devorah was extremely relatable. Despite the emotional roller coaster I was sent on, I found myself rooting for her the entire book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an emotional novel featuring a devoted, determined protagonist.

Encounters With Old Coyote by Laura Koerber is made up of a collection of 13 short stories. Ms. Koerber weaves tales that blend fact with fiction, anecdotes with magical realism, adding a touch of the paranormal, emotion, intrigue, and wit. As expected, Ms. Koerber has crafted a highly original book- bringing us a touch of the unusual- and blending fantasy with some mystery, and magical realism- thereby capturing the imagination and pulling the reader into her ‘world’. Each story is a very quick and easy read. Encounters With Old Coyote is another interesting, original, and thought provoking read. Happy reading…

4.5/5 stars This was my first read by this author and it was a great introduction to her work. Where most authors usually make the rich character the man, this book actually has the woman as the wealthy one. This author does a great job of drawing your attention and keeping you intrigued. This was a great book and I enjoyed it.

If you are looking for a dystopian thriller full of mystery, intrigue, and a strong female character, then this is for you.
The Catford Catastrophe Zone by Petra Jacob follows Frankie, who dreams of being promoted from undercover police officer to DNA-enhanced crime fighter. Unfortunately for her, she needs to complete one more mission to prove she’s got what it takes. Will Frankie be able to investigate the mysterious rebels and solve the mystery, or will she be unable to escape the Catford Zone?
I honestly had no idea what I was getting into with this novel but was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was pulled in. This book was jam-packed with quirky yet oddly realistic characters. The author did a great job building a world and a story that was not only fun to read but thought-provoking as well.

Warning right up front: this book covers some very serious topics including death, grief, and addiction.
I enjoyed this book. Each of the characters comes to life across the pages. The multiple POVs allows you to really delve in to how each of them are dealing with the guilt and grieving surrounding Kellan’s death. They are each trying to heal in their own way (even if some of those ways are VERY unhealthy). As Milo and Benji are there for each other, trying to keep the other one from spiraling, promises made in the past are harder and harder to keep. When the twist came I was definitely shocked but it was woven nicely into the story.
I enjoyed the characters as they grew both as individuals and together. I also enjoyed getting a glimpse of the other people that surround them in their daily lives. At times, the story felt so real that I had to remind myself that these characters are fictional. A good book that I couldn’t put down til the end.

Knight In Peril is the sixth book in the Jorja Knight Mystery series by Alice Bienia. This is a very engrossing mystery with plenty of tension, suspense, action, adventure, danger, dramatic developments, crime and investigation, secrets, lies, greed, corruption, a time crunch, agendas, high stakes, abduction, friendship, and a savvy private investigator. To add an extra element of interest to the story, we are whisked off to Istanbul as this intriguing mystery unravels. We follow Jorja Knight, who we met in the previous books, as she is thrust into a search for her missing friend. They were supposed to meet, but Gabriella has disappeared. Now Jorja is left with the difficult task of searching for her friend in a foreign city with millions of inhabitants to make the task even more difficult. Add in the corruption, secrets, lies, and the urgency of the situation- and Jorja might just be facing her most difficult case yet- one that has hit too close to home for comfort. What happens makes for a gripping read. Even though this is the sixth book in the series, you can read it as a standalone without feeling like you are missing anything. Having said that though, the other books in the series make for great reading too- and contain their own intriguing mysteries for Jorja to solve. They also provide more character information, background stories, and other interesting details which, all combined, will definitely enhance your appreciation of this book, and the series as a whole. Looking forward to seeing what Jorja gets up to next! Happy Reading…

Makayla is finding this year is not what she expected and finds a few new allies while her helpers are not around. Dark things are swirling around the Academy and Makayla will be the person who has to find out what is happening.
Another great read in this series. A bit darker than the first two but page turning fun. I liked how the story went, fast paced excitement and Makayla has a few surprises in store for her. Can’t wait for the next book.

Bad At Being Good by A.L. Morrow is a superb MM romance with a best friend’s (younger) brother/brother’s best friend element, chemistry, drama, angst, tragedy, promises made, pain, emotion, and steam. The story also contains sensitive topics which some might find difficult to handle, such as; grief, death of a loved one, mental health issues, addiction, drug over dose, and guilt. The author has done a fantastic job of developing her characters, crafting each into fully realised individuals with their own unique quirks and flaws. And I appreciated that they continued to grow and develop over the course of the story. Each dealing with their own baggage, as well as all the emotions that came into play. Their shared pain, struggles, and challenges also made this story, and characters, tug on my heartstrings a little harder than I expected. Well worth the read. Happy Reading…

Dangerous Rhythm is the fourth book in The Echo series by C.R. Alam. I have really been enjoying this series, each book capturing my attention as the series just seems to be getting better and better with each new instalment. And this one is definitely my favourite of the series, so far. This story had me invested right from the get-go. Who doesn’t love a Rockstar/bodyguard romance. Well, this takes that and gives it a twist- as he’s the rockstar and she’s the bodyguard. Yeah, that got my attention too. When he witnesses a crime that puts him in the crosshairs of a psycho mob boss, thing take a dangerous turn. Her job is to make sure he stays safe. But as they are forced to flee, things heat up in more ways than one. What happens you may wonder. Well, this is definitely worth the read to find out. Each book in the series focuses on its own ‘couple’, so they can be read as standalones if you wanted. But the stories have all, so far, revolved around the band, Canis Major, and/or their friends and family- giving plenty of captivating content to keep you flipping the pages, as well as providing additional details and storylines- which help to build depth, as well as paint a bigger picture’. If you love rockstar romance, family, friendship, emotional struggles, angst, some danger, intrigue, and plenty of sizzle- then this is definitely the story/series for you. Happy Reading…

Alam – Review by Angela Hayes
Birdie Harper loves a good deal and sees herself as a collector. The problem is, she doesn’t know when to stop. Every weekend Birdie and her sister hit the yard sales but on top of that, Birdie has a habit of also dumpster diving.
Birdie lost her daughter when she was only a baby so she has a hole in her heart. There is a young girl who works at the convenience store that would be her daughter’s age if she had never passed. Birdie became borderline obsessed with this girl so when the girl goes missing, she will stop at nothing to find her. One day when dumpster diving, she finds the body of the young girl. She is determined to find out who killed this sweet young woman with the help of her dead husband who appears to Birdie often.
I decided to read this book because the title and the cover art was unique. The plot certainly is different from anything I have written but in a good way. The main character is an older woman which by itself is great but also she is a hoarder who has trouble letting go of items and people. Birdie is eccentric but sweet. The relationship between Birdie and her sister seemed very authentic. She may not agree with her sister but you can tell they love each other. It was a different type of cozy mystery than I have ever read but it was a refreshing difference.

This is FANTASTIC and I read it in one sitting. This book takes the familiar tale of one character being wealthy and one living in poverty and flips it on its head. In this story the wealthy one is the female. However, this is not done in an over the top or in your face way, in this story it all just makes sense. The question this story explores is what happens when two characters let go of what holds them back and really become who they are meant to be. Claire is a fantastic main character who challenges the ideas of what a wealthy female main character should be. She is a model, however, she has way more brains than beauty. The only problem is that no one can look past her exterior. And in some ways, that is the way she wants it, because she doesn’t really want the public to know the real her. That all changes when she meets Nick. Nick is a waiter and she definitely is interested in him. However, he is not at all what she thought she would fall in love with. Nick on the other hand fully expected everything to be a fling, but when it continues he finds that it is causing changes to his future in art. These characters are so well written and are so flawed. But I love a really well written flawed character, because who among us isn’t flawed. This plot moves along at a good pace and this is a book that kept me reading way past my bedtime. This was the first book I have read by Laylah Abrams, but it definitely won’t be my last. Her ability to create characters is something that I find myself wanting even more of. I definitely recommend taking the time to read this fantastic story.
