When I first started reading this book with my daughter, I expected a fun and lighthearted story, but what we got felt like so much more. This was the perfect kind of book for my daughter to try an read herself and it tied in perfectly with her learnings about New Year. I loved this book because of how excited she was to read it. The story was really well thought out and engaging. The characters are what really brough it to life and Ioved seeing how they developed as the story progressed. This is a great book and I hope we get the chance to discover more.
This book is the second in the series and it just as fun and entertaining as the first one. It was great to revisit these characters and be taken on more adventures with them. My kids absolutely loved this story, probably even more so than book 1. The illustrations in the book really bring it to life. It makes it so much easier to visualise the characters and the story overall. This series are the first books that we have read by this author but, if they are any indication as to what to expect, then I think we will become much more familiar with their work. This is a fantastic book that the whole family enjoyed.

I was not as a huge fan of this one as I have been of the others in the series. I just didn’t like how James was portrayed. He has had a solid gf through most of the series but in here he falls for a completely different girl. His antics and thought process just was not favorable to me. I fid like the whole way that Sara and James officially met. She surprised me with her “momma bear” attitude in her employers home. But anyway the there was plenty of stuff that kept me reading as well. I always love time being spent with the Bennetts. Seeing where everyone is at in their relationships and lives. Sadly this is the last in the series. I know that every series needs to end and I look forward to seeing what this author comes up with next.

These stories always bring me joy. I enjoy the storyline and the characters all have their quirks. In here I was frustrated at the female lead more than once over her negative attitude towards mating. Life throws curveballs..just embrace them. I did get irritated while reading since frequently things were repeated. Usually either in the same paragraph or the next one. That leads to me skipping areas here and there. I have read this author multiple times. Usually I either really love the book or struggled with it. This time I felt about half way between the two. It isn’t great but not horrible either in my opinion. I do enjoy this series and am looking forward to Sheridan’s mating call.

This book is a great story that is full of twists and turns the whole way through. I expected the story to be a mystery and to be intriguing, but I wasn’t expecting to find it so entertaining and amusing. I found it really made me connect to the characters even more. The book is the kind of one that has enough going on that I had to read it all in one sitting to see how it played out. This book is the first one that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed her writing style. It let you as the audience connect to the characters and everything that was going on. I thought this was an exciting read that I thoroughly enjoyed and I am looking forward to reading more of this series.

It Comes From Within is the second book in the House Valdis series. I’d recommend beginning with the prequel, House Valdis Origins: Xenobia, as that provides vital background to this story. I’ve enjoyed many books by this author, who consistently delivers exciting and original urban fantasy stories with LGBT+ characters, and the House Valdis series is certainly no exception!
Xenobia is settling into her role at the head of the newly expanded House Valdis. She needs to strike a balance between doing what she can to protect and help those she loves, and not pushing herself too far. The growing threat from rogue vampires needs attention from her and her friends, before it gets out of hand.
I like that in this book we have more relationships developing between side characters. It’s good to see more of them, and have a broader spectrum of romances! The narrative shifts between multiple points of view, sometimes just for a page or two, so we get to see the perspectives of many characters on the story. Some of my favourites are Sylvia and Ezrah, who both get to play important parts in this story!
I’m looking forward to reading more from House Valdis! The story comes to a satisfying conclusion but there are still questions for a subsequent book to answer.
This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend the series to paranormal romance fans looking for something with plenty of familiar characters and tropes, but also loads of original ideas to spark your imagination!

Oh my, this book makes having exotic animals look fun. I loved the story. Magic and shifters with a reverse harem made for a winning story in my book. The characters were entertaining, sexy and absolutely wonderful. She’s a new author to me and I hope to read more if they are like this. What a fun concept and a great book. I sure enjoyed the smile it brought to my face as I read.
Ooh, I loved this book. It continues the romance of Zachary and Ashton. Life brought some challenges but they got through it. This couple is so hot as a Dom/Sub pair. Ashton is still a strong woman and they make this work. I liked reading more of their relationship. They had challenges yet make it work. This author does such a wonderful job writing that she really has you feeling the story as you go along. I can’t wait to read the next book.
“The Hidden Present (Invisible Magic Wand)” by Lois Wickstrom is a delightful and heartwarming story about a boy named Caspian who receives a mysterious gift from his Grandpa on his Unbirthday. The story captures the magic and wonder of childhood, as Caspian goes on a hunt to find his hidden present with the help of an Inquisitive Indicator.
The relationship between Caspian and his Grandpa is beautifully portrayed, depicting a bond built on love and shared experiences. The author does a wonderful job of creating a sense of anticipation and excitement as Caspian searches for his gift, keeping readers engaged and invested in the outcome.
I highly enjoyed following Trueman “True” North to find the true murderer of Stoddard Skidmore. As True digs into the case with his investigation skills he realizes that it isn’t quite as open and shut as it seems. Not only is there a compelling murder, but the reader also gets to learn more about True and his backstory as well. The book is set in 1977 with some embellishments in historical details, which the author explains at the end. It is a dark crime mystery; the pacing of the story is fantastic. The clues are there for you to find out the murderer before the reveal, but the reason why is even more compelling. I personally won’t hesitate to pick up the next book in this series!

This is such a cute book. His unbirthday present is to be found and he gets to use a compass. Oh, what fun he has with grandpa. An entertaining story with bright, fun illustrations that will keep any child glued to the story. We love reading this series. Another welcome addition to our family library. It will also go well in the classroom.
This was an excellent read. I am such a fan of this series. They are hot, sexy and entertaining. The chemistry in this book is off the chart. No bro land is where we go this time. You shouldn’t go for your enemy’s little sister, but hey, do it anyway. The story is well-done. You can feel the heat. The characters have excellent chemistry. I love the spark factor. I couldn’t put the book down. This is one I highly recommend for romance lovers.

This continues the story from The Rise of Valdis. I would suggest you read the prequel and Book 1. The story is very good. The characters will hold your interest through the whole story. I find it interesting that they can enchant themselves to loook like normal people. I really enjoyed the story. It’s action, romance, a bit of everything.

This is an amazing quick read. I fully enjoyed the characters and their development throughout the story. It has everything you would want in a romance. The push and pull of whether or not they want to take a chance on love again. There is medical jargon that allows you to feel the presence of what they are doing but isn’t so over the top that you don’t understand. It showed a depth of knowledge from the author but made it were anyone could read it and understand. I loved that, I am by no means in the medical field and felt completely confident in what was happening. It does have a lot of super sweet mushy romance in the beginning with endearment that I wasn’t sure I could read the whole thing if it was like that. Then you turn the page and all of sudden there is a suspense plot line that I didn’t see coming. It is amazing to be able to have the romance and the suspense in such a way that you don’t want to put the book down. This read was super quick and I loved every minute of it. This is the 6th book in the series but can be read as a stand alone. I have read others in this series so I knew a little of what to expect. Having said that, this was a really fresh take on a story line that I didn’t see coming and I enjoyed every minute of it. Each book that I have read in this series has not disappointed me and it keeps me coming back for more. Reviewed by: @bbohls

This was an excellent read. an exciting, suspenseful read that brings back “Harry” who meets Trey. She wants in and he wants out. I found the characters to have a terrific chemistry. Though there was danger around and in, the humor was also in the story. I laughed through a lot of it. It was a funny story with suspense and romance that I would definitely recommend. I will be going back to read the previous two.

This is the first book I have read by this author. I will tell you that its very graphic when it comes to describing the scene where someone loses their life. I actually had a hard time getting it into at first because of the graphic description. Which is weird for me, since I tend to enjoy books that get graphic. Detective North (who is retired homicide detective, and now a Private Investigator) has been hired by the victims father to find out who hurt his boy. There are moments that I feel like there should be more description but overall I really like the book. Definitely recommend this book to others who like reading about mystery, murder, mayhem.

The Mating Chance is the third captivating book in the Long Claw Pride series by Brooke May. As with the other books in the series, this follows members of the Long Claw Clan, a mountain lion shifter community- and makes for fantastic reading. This ca could be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading the series from the beginning as the stories are worth it- plus there are other relevant bits that will help you fully appreciate the series as a whole. We follow Boone and Cricket on a bit of a second chance, fated mates, paranormal romance- where Ms. May delivers all the emotion, angst, banter, humour, fun, drama, family, community, destiny, secrets, discovery, challenges, chemistry, and spice. As with all her characters, it was easy to invest in them and the outcome of their story. I was rooting for them, even if they frustrated me at times. If you love paranormal romances, particularly shifters- then this is well worth the read! Bring on Book #4! Happy Reading…

I found this book to be so cute and fun! It walks you through a mystery Lunar New Year adventure with Lorie and Weina. The girls have lost their lucky new year red envelopes that they have been saving up to replace a bracelet for their grandma. This book keeps you on your toes while you follow the girls along their day and also trying to find said missing envelopes. I loved seeing another side of Asian American culture and the different things that they do/celebrate compared to my own family. This book had my children hooked while we followed the girls back through their day. The traditions and holiday excitement was so fun. I really enjoyed the simple illustrations as well. My girls 9 and 12 both enjoyed reading this book with me and learning about others. It also lined up with their cultural days at school so they learned so much this week!
Detective Dylan, Emily and Theodore the family dog are back at it. They never leave home without Dylan’s Detective Kit. But this time they are off to play baseball. Once they get to the ball field they notice the baseball plates are missing. So they go in search of the missing plates. First off let me put out there that this story is not only educational but brings together siblings. Yes this big brother enjoys spending time with his little sister. As for Emily she is a big help as the team works together. This author has done quite nicely in bringing these siblings together. This story is quite the page turner. It is captivating and interesting. The characters also play big parts in the story.They set a great example to our young readers. Also at the end of this chapter book there is a list of big words with explanations of the words and where to find them in the story. I love that! I love an open-ended story. This one is fantastic.

Reverse Harem GOLD. So, I will admit the cover is what pulled my interest in this one and with my goal of finding new to me authors Catherine Banks was a perfect new March author. This is the first book in Her Royal Harem: Ember trilogy and honestly, chefs kiss. Ember Jasperwood is a mage, but her mixed abilities with no obvious “hybrid” markers causes her very prejudiced community to look down on her. Not only them but her own parents. When her abilities began as a young child, they had her tested and sent to the best mage school but then gave her a cabin, 100 acres of land and a monthly salary as they cut communications with her. All Ember wants to do is be in the woods, her safe space and heal the animals, shifters, and hybrids that she finds or that are brought to her. Only all too soon does everything begin to change, strange magical rocks cover the riverbank, and cursed animals emerge from nowhere in hunt for her blood, the cure to their curse. Her patients become so much more as they choose to stay at her side and help her with these mysteries and more. The men quickly become curious of what else she is as she has a mix of powers that don’t belong to mages as well as not smelling like a mage, but something more. Who is the one who curses? Can Ember and friends find the truth behind the stones? Why is she being targeted? This world is so rich in details, taking real world problems and transforming them into more complex roles. In a world of shifters and mages and more hybrids are the targets of racism and attacks while the princes are actively trying to change things Ember’s city seems to be falling deeper into the dark. From start to finish this book holds your attention, keeps you guessing and turning the page as you guess and trying to answer the questions of what is going on. I will be counting down to book two and then three of this series in need of seeing what will happen next and how it all ends. Book 2 Outnumbered April 5th, 2024. Book 3 Outshone May 3rd, 2024. Let the countdowns begin, I hope to see you there.
I loved this story so much! From the very first chapter and all the way to the epilogue, I was drawn in and hooked. Bailey and Fox are two incredible characters that the reader gets to learn about and fall in love with as they learn to navigate their adventure together. So many different dynamics in the book were done so well and I didn’t want the story to end. Well done Amy Q Barker, this was a fantastic book, with a great romantic story without having to be over the top romance. This appears to be book 1 in the Better Man series and if that’s the case, I cannot wait to read the others!

When I picked up Nessie and the Celtic Maze I expected a children’s book, with lots of pictures, what I received though was a middle grade, short, novel, that didn’t have pictures. Although not what I expected I still really enjoyed the story. This is book number 3 in the series. I love Lois’s imaginative, engaging story writing.

Hay Goes Home is another wonderful addition in the Adventures of Cray childrens book series. This specific story is about Hay taking Cray home for her mother’s birthday. G pa talks about struggles throughout the journey, how it’s ok to ask for help if you need it, how you can rely on your friends, how to work together, and being brave. I enjoyed the beautiful illustrations along with the storyline and lessons that were able to be learned.

This was a very enjoyable book! Young readers who are learning to read in small chapters will love this story about Dylan and his little sister Emily. They are going to baseball practice and when they arrive, their coach explains that all the bases have been stolen. Dylan thought to grab his Youth Sleuth kit prior to leaving home so he and Emily are on the lookout for the stolen bases. They come across various groups of people in the park before finally locating the missing bases.
A super fun, adventurous book that features Theodore, who is Dylan and Emily’s dog. He’s also a part of their sleuthing team! It’s short enough to keep the attention of an emerging reader and would also make a great bedtime story!

Murder at Music Hall is the first book in the True North Murder Mystery series. I enjoyed it, and look forward to reading more from this series!
Trueman North has channeled his tragic past into a determination to find justice for victims of murder. He is focused and diligent, never taking the easy way out. Now retired as a detective and working as a PI, North has been hired by a man who believes that the wrong person was accused of his son’s murder. Now North must find the real killer, and why they did it, as well as proving that the man who was accused is innocent.
As North seeks insights into the victim’s life and death from a variety of sources, we get drip fed bits of information that may or may not lead to the murderer. Many characters have secrets, but not all of their secrets are clues. Some of the secrets are quite dark and may be triggering to some readers.
This is an engrossing read for mystery fans who enjoy a story that will make them think. I particularly enjoyed the orchestral setting as it’s fun getting to see behind the scenes at the orchestra. It gets four stars from me!
