Hell in a Handbasket (Life is Hell Series Book 3) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Jamie Truex

Hell in a Handbasket (Life is Hell #3)Hell in a Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book three in the Life is Hell Series by Naomi Valkyrie. This series just keeps getting better! We get to focus on Oren (a demon hunter newbie) and Teivel (a grumpy demon). Their attraction is clear to everyone. Oren brings out a softer side of Treivel. But can they make a relationship work? We meet a few new characters this time. Larkspur spends most of the time playing pranks on everyone and there is a baby that was dropped on Oren’s doorstep! You don’t have to read these books in order, but it doesn’t hurt to. That way you can learn about everyone involved. I definitely recommend this book.

In the summer of 1976, Scoob, a twelve-year-old musical prodigy, dreams of becoming a jazz legend like the great Louis Armstrong. But first, she needs to get off the streets. When Scoob lands a paying gig, she thinks her luck is about to change—she now has the chance to play in front of a famous band leader with his own TV show. This could be her big break! But Scoob’s older brother, RC, drags his little sister along on an unwelcome road trip. Broke and unable to afford food, Scoob and RC “borrow” gas along the way until they find themselves stuck in the small town of Rexburg, Idaho. The idyllic farming community is buzzing with controversy over a newly built dam, with residents divided over the safety of the structure.
Stranded in the tiny town and pestered by a growing group of well-meaning locals, Scoob tries her best to get back home to California and her audition, struggling to understand why her brother doesn’t seem to want to leave. RC is hiding something, and Scoob soon discovers he isn’t being honest with her. On a warm summer morning, a heartbroken Scoob decides to head home on her own, but that very day, Rexburg’s new dam springs a leak. Within a few short hours, a wall of water is rushing toward the tiny town, destroying everything in its path. Scoob must fight for her life and face mounting odds as she tries to decide what really matters.

She does more than just kindle his passion. She also has a remarkable power to heal his heart and faith in his fellow humans. Throughout their little adventure, she shows him that compassion and kindness still exist in the world, and even a minor act of kindness can go a long way.

Drag Me Down (Full Throttle Cyborgs, #4)Drag Me Down by Landra Graf
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Drag Me Down is part of the Full Throttle Cyborgs Series, the fourth book to be exact . This is not my first time picking up a book from author Landra Graf. having read her other series( Space Force Rejects Series, if you haven’t checked it out i highly recommend reading!) I just knew I had to give this series a go and I’m so glad I did. I definitely have to go back and read the first three previous books, and I can’t wait. This author always comes up with the best creative worlds and intriguing plot lines. Like living on mars, racing cars etc. lol brilliant idea. This one follows Dakota ‘Drag’ Michelson and Bridget MacIntosh through some crazy twists and turns and trying to come back from betrayal( if they can) 🙂 I look forward to reading more from this author!

Touched: Elemental Passions Book One by Skye Turner, Sloane Nicole, April D. Berry, C.J. Pinard, Danielle Jamie, Darlene Tallman, Julie Morgan, Livell James, Machelle Hanleigh, and Melissa MacKinnon – Review by Rita White

What a fantastic read! I went in blind reading this book and am so glad I did. The storytelling and the vivid description of the different places, especially Laric.
Callum and Aeris are the main characters in this book, and this is where the 2 world collide. Callum is a detective and sees Aeris but soon realizes he is the only one who can see her. Aeris is a fairy. They are drawn together, and they zinged, meaning they are fated.
There is a secret war happening, and they plus an army of otherworldly creatures united to defeat the bad guys. I cannot wait till the next book comes out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am so glad I started reading this series, I have literally enjoyed every single one of these books so far and I really can’t wait to rea the rest. I didn’t know there was more to this series till I started looking. Each book gets better and better, and I just couldn’t put this one down like the first ones. I am a sticker for making sure all the books are read in order so this is no different, but you could probably get away with reading them by themselves. these books are paranormal romance books but there’s so much more involved. Teivel and Oren, one demon, one demon hunter, will have you on a whirl wind of a roller coaster with these two. Once again, we are back at Juniper Lake to help out Teivel ex but there’s attraction to his ex’s deputy. The fear of loving again, baggage being carried over, and the secret of being a demon hunter. What possible could go wrong? Or right? I honestly recommend this series and even thou I haven’t gotten o the rest I recommend the rest because if they are all this good.

The Better Man (Silver Buckle Brides, #2)The Better Man by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Better Man is Book 2 in the Silver Buckle Brides series and what an amazing read. While this book could be read as a stand alone, I highly recommend reading the first book in the series as some characters do tie into this book as well. The emotions and turmoil of two people whom really come from a past with hard struggle..this story really took me on a roller coaster of emotion. Drama, secrets, jealousy and grief but also a second chance in many ways to be better. I LOVED this story of Laramee and Jamie.

Laramee has come home to Colorado to her family ranch as her father and mother decided to sell due to some health issues her father is having. Laramee has so much hurt and grief coming back as there is it reminds her of a past tragedy that is truly heartbreaking. Jamie is hired to help the Stone family sell the beloved ranch and make things better, but Jamie never expected to challenged at first by a fiery Laramee. As Jamie and Laramee work together on repairs to the ranch to make it better for selling, their walls come down around their hearts very slowly…..but there is also a past love that comes about the ranch…Sutton…whom has love Laramee forever. With pasts that have heavy baggage, decisions that need to be made, will Laramee be able to overcome grief as it burdens her shoulders and find the love that she deserves…who does she choose? When secrets come to light with honestly….Jamie falls for Laramee…but is he the better man for her?

Definitely read and find out..I highly recommend this book!

I enjoyed this story. The story of how Amese finds not only her purpose but also herself was very interesting and held my interest. The journey for Amese had a few twists and turns but everything thing turned out okay in the end. There was a bit of a twist at the end, so I am thinking that Amese’s story is not over and I look forward to reading the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a very emotional read! This is a book that I would STRONGLY recommend reading with your youngster, at least the first time they read it. It’s a story that really needs to be told but is highly emotional as previously mentioned.

Loris is in foster care and this books focuses on the emotions that he goes through with each move he has to make. It takes a lot of courage to be Loris but there are so many of them out there! It’s important to have conversations with kids reading this story to explore their emotions and feelings after hearing Loris’s plight.

The illustrations in this story are very colorful and really add to the story more. To see Loris’s transformation is pretty cool.

I really wanted to like this book. I went in having high hopes and the book from start to finish fell flat.

Kaia/Abigail wants the best of both worlds but at times it is not clear where we are at and who we are dealing with. Things really seemed muddled.

Everett is the vice principal/science teacher/hidden EPA man. He goes along with schemes and tries to be the best version of himself, but does he?!?

At no point did I feel any of the emotions in this story nor did I think there was any passion between the characters.

Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens by Terri Sabol is part of the Oscar and Emmy Series. This was the first book I have ever read in this series. It is so cute and educational. We follow Charlie and Abby twin siblings who love their cats Oscar and Emmy. The family decides to foster baby kittens. The story is so cute and heartwarming. It also helps explains to kids in an easy-to-understand way the responsibilities that go into fostering an animal. While also showing how rewarding it can be. This is a great read for young children. Especially to help them understand the concept of fostering. The illustrations were also really cute. This is a 5 out of 5 stars for me!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really cute children’s book that follows a monkey maître d’ as they serve different types of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the animals in the zoo. It’s a rhyming book so it is very catchy and sing-songy. The illustrations are amazing and go along so well with the words on the page. The colors are nice and bright and will catch the eye of any kiddo. It’s funny and will have kids laughing at how the different animals like their PB&J’s and it may even have them saying “EWWW!” a few times too. This is a great children’s book to add to your rotation.

I have loved all of the books in this series, but this one may just be my favorite! I read it with my 8-year-old and 12-year-old kiddos who also loved it. I feel like the author does an amazing job explaining the process of fostering animals and not just including only the fun parts. We always love the illustrations and these beautiful pictures fit in well with the rest of the series. It promotes reducing the crowds in animal shelters and explains how much fostering benefits everyone involved! I highly recommend picking up this lighthearted but incredibly educational book on fostering kitties. It would be a wonderful fit for your home or your classroom!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely adore this book! This is the second installment in the Hot Flash Hookups series and my favorite so far. I loved Kaitlyn and Banks’s characters independently and together. Their banter, their stubbornness, and their chemistry…OMG their chemistry. Ray and Stewart had my hooked from the beginning and I couldn’t put this one down! They way they do a slow burn is phenomenal! And this book is a slow, slow burn in the best of ways. I love the other tropes as well: forced proximity, forbidden love (agent & player), he falls first (a personal fav), and many more. The character development is *chef’s kiss* as is the plot line. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next installment! I highly recommend grabbing this book…it’s a fantastic sports romance with just a bit of spice. A great pallet cleanser if you are looking for something a bit lighter in-between the darker readings 😉

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One book written by 10 authors!! What a fun way to write a series! First book I have ever read that was a 10 author collaboration. And it certainly didn’t disappoint!! Aeris is a Fae from the mystical realm of Laric. She has unique air abilities and uses glamour to walk around New Orleans. Not being aloud to leave her realm and being forbidden to be around humans doesn’t stop her one bit. One day while out in the world she bumps into Detective Callum, which would normally be fine. Written off as a stumble or someone else just miss stepping into him, but not this time! Callum can actually see Aeris! No human has ever been able to see past her glamour. None! This is bad. So, so bad. Fae-Human unions are forbidden and her secrets are also her realms’ livelihood. Callum has never seen anyone like Aeris. She’s captivating, mystical, and of course beautiful. His life is about to be turned upside down and he has no clue. A world of magic has been hidden in plain sight and he never knew. He certainly does now!! Will these two face what’s lerking around New Orleans? Fated love is fated for a reason right? Will destiny stand in their way? This is book one of the five book series and I can tell you right now that I can not wait to read the rest!! This one was so good!! It hooks you right in and keeps you on the edge of your seat to see what’s going to happen next! I loved the elemental side to the story and I’m excited to see more in the series.

Daniel is the local coroner and he has to find out who murdered Zeke. Zeke was not well liked in town but I don’t think that solving the murder is the only challenge Daniel has to deal with. He has to deal with the two women in his life, his sister Isabelle and Kathleen, a friend.

These two women are headstrong and independent. They want to help solve the murder. Will Daniel survive with their help or will he win out and keep them from helping him. Check out the book. I think you will enjoy it too.

Hell in a Handbasket (Life is Hell #3)Hell in a Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hell in a Handbasket is Book Three in the Life is Hell series. Although this book can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the other books in this series because they are amazing. This book focuses on Teivel, a demon, and Oren, a demon hunter who are natural enemies.
Teivel has returned to Juniper Lake, a place that he keeps getting drawn to for some unexplainable reason. When a hybrid baby is dropped off on Oren’s doorstep, the two must work together to protect him. Teivel was mentioned in previous books briefly, but this book goes more in depth about his character. We learn that there is more to him than originally meets the eye. Most would think that he is a world class jerk, but it turns out that there is more to him than that. There is a strong attraction between Teivel and Oren even though there is no reason how a demon and a demon hunter could possibly be in any sort of a relationship or fall in love for that matter. This was another wonderful book written by an extremely talented author. Her writing style is not only unique and creative but her characters are quirky and fun.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you don’t know much about ballet, like myself, you won’t find yourself lost. The author makes it easy to understand and even though it is a big portion of what the book is about; you will get swept away with all the suspense. I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into with this book but I am so glad that I took that chance to read it. This book had so much suspense and it was so well written. It is one of those books where you think you’ve gotten everything figured out and then there is a curveball that you didn’t see coming and everything you thought just goes out the window. I truly didn’t expect the book to go the way it did and I completely loved it. There is romance in this book that is sprinkled throughout all the suspense. I just really loved this book. I can’t get into the specifics about it because I know that I will give away spoilers and I don’t want that because I want every reader to be as surprised as I was. I have found a new love for suspense and romance after reading this book.
