Italian American (Jack & Mariella Book 2) by Luigina Vecchione

Italian American is the second book in the Jack & Mariella Series and is a Historical Romance . This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely going to check out what other books they have written. I’m a huge fan of Historical Romance and this one definitely checks all those boxes. The characters are relatable, fully developed and make the story come to life. I could picture myself right along with them. This is a story about sacrifices one makes and the ups and downs of family life. These two deserve all the happiness. Moving to a new town is scary imagine how much scarier it must be to move to a new country. Can these two make it? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Just Ducky (Weird Shifters)Just Ducky by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Weird Shifter series. I have always enjoyed this authors work and when I saw this I didn’t hesitate to read it. I love paranormal romances and this has that as well as danger, suspense, adventure and high stakes.

Ducky (just as her name suggest) is a duckling shifter. To everyone around her she’s an embarrassment and is constantly bullied and teased. After all what good is she as a shifter if she has no abilities?
When she hears that Vampire Lord Kobreon has returned looking for his mate she can’t wait to see him. She knows she has no chance as his mate but she needs to just see him from afar.
However fate has other ideas and when she is taken inside the castle in her duckling form she gets closer to him than she ever imagine possible.

Vampire Lord Kobreon has a lot of his plate. With a war on the brink of breaking out between the supernatural and humans he has his plate full trying to find a cure for the kings daughter. The last thing he needs is to worry about finding a mate.
When a little duckling turns up in his life he finds a companion he never knew he wanted or needed. But how will he respond when he realises that Ducky is much more than a little duckling.
Can Lord Kobreon find the cure to save the kings daughter and prevent a war from starting?
Is there any way Ducky can help, or is she just a useless little duck?
This is a captivating story and I loved every part of it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the sequel to Secrets in the Mirror by Leslie Kain. We learn more about the after effects of a traumatizing childhood. Gavin has Complex PTSD and it obviously effects his family as an adult. It’s heartbreaking but Katie’s character is my favorite this time. You get to learn more about her and see what it’s like as the wife of someone suffering like Gavin. Anyone who has been in her position, will easily relate. It’s definitely going to be an emotional read but absolutely worth it.

3 Stars

 

“Sometimes it’s good to get lost.”

Vague Directions: Into the Woods by Debra Parmley is a little different from the other books of hers that I have read. This takes paranormal romance and twists it up a bit- making for an original read.
Heather’s adventure begins when she sets off for a medieval reenactment festival – getting a bit lost along the way. With a gallant knight, some shifty characters, mystery, intrigue, danger, and dramatic developments- this paranormal romance definitely wasn’t what I was expecting, but in a fun way.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Debra Parmley!

My name is David Kummer. I’m a young writer who leans towards horror, mystery, thrillers, and young adult fiction. My books are fast-paced, easy-to-read, with shocking twists and unpredictable endings.

My new series is The House on the Hill, a new type of haunted house trilogy focusing on one family and the small town under attack. It’s creepy enough for horror readers, but character-focused and plot-driven, so it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys a good mystery novel.

I grew up in Madison, Indiana, a small town on the Ohio River, with lots of history and settings around here that influence my books. Now I live in New Albany with my fantastic wife. When I’m not writing, I’m a full-time English teacher for 9th graders and I enjoy spending as much time as possible outdoors.

You may have read some great authors before and some fascinating books, but this is the first time you’ve had an experience like this. Try something and let me convince you.

Gavin had a hard life growing up. He has an identical twin brother, Devon, who is favored more by their father. Although they are identical, they are opposites in every way. When they are older Devon gets himself involved with the mob and people start dying. Gavin doesn’t want any part of it and flees with his little family to keep them safe. However ot doesn’t matter how far he runs, he can’t outrun his brother or the mob. Gavin vows that he will save his brother from the destructive path he is on, but will he be successful? Devon is diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and that is how he manipulates poor Gavin. I couldn’t imagine having to get away from my sibling for my own well being, it seems unfathomable. I found this book to be a quick read that kept me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. The characters were well developed and the author wrote this story is such a way that you really feel for the characters, especially the victims. Get ready to go on an emotional ride. I do highly suggest this book, however due to the heavy subject matter talked about being a trigger for some people do read at your own risk.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fiction or possible future, to a degree at least. I love C.A. King’s worlds she creates they are always so different than anything else and no two books of hers are the same. Other than their ability to fully submerge you in their world. Told from several perspectives including Rod and Ned.
Treacle is the epitome of small fishing communities. To live there is to answer the call of the sea. But times have changed in just five years, the seas are lifeless. No fish, no plants, no birds. Life tied to the water is gone. The need for food is worse now than ever before and all because people’s race to clean up the planet made them blind to the life that inhabits it. Until it was too late. Rod gets lucky, or maybe it’s unluckier when he renovates Old Bessy, his fishing boat. He finds a fissure at the bottom of the ocean. The secrets are hidden in caves, unknown fish and eggs fill it. Ned dreams of a better life for him and his daughter and all caution go to the wind. One decision changed everything.
What do they really find in those caves? Can they stop it before it’s too late? What will be left of Treacle in the end? Most of this talented authors books I can see myself living in them but honestly this one is just terrifying in all the best ways the suspense the story the growth it will truly pull you under from start to finish. Book two Sashimi, see you there.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have thoroughly enjoyed every book I’ve read by this author, so it was a no-brainer to pick this book up. They create absolutely marvelous stories within the paranormal genre which this definitely falls under. I was surprised that this was a little over 200 pages because I breezed through it effortlessly. The flow of the story is naturally smooth while being one-of-a-kind as well. There are quite a few twists and turns throughout that I didn’t see coming! I liked the characters well enough but would love more depth to add a bit more oomph to the story. Even with that tiny note, I completely loved this book. If you enjoy sci-fi, horror, dystopian, and/or paranormal books, this should be your next read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We have all, at one time or another, reached our hands out to “boop” the nose of an animal! This book is all about animals from A-Z! I even learned about a couple of animals that I have never heard of prior to reading this book.

Of course, safety must be first in all things and this book will mention this. We can’t just go “booping” any snoot we want or we might find ourselves in trouble.

There is a picture of each animal’s nose with a “who is this?” feature. Turn the page and learn all about that particular animal. Each one contains interesting facts.

The pictures are pretty cool in this book too!

Teach a young reader about animals, the ABC’s, and more with this fun book!

Secrets In The Mirror by Leslie Kain – Review by Amanda Gray

Trigger warning: domestic abuse: mental & physical, gaslighting, substance use, mental illness: including narcissism and death. Readers who are sensitive to such subjects should be alert.

That being said it is a really good book about complicated family dynamics and how it shaped the individuals. For readers who enjoy psychological thrillers this is a book for you. It has you questioning the age old question of ‘nature vs nurture’. In this book you can see both play out as it tells the tale of twin brothers from adolescence into adulthood. I was rooting for the protagonist, Gavin, while wanting to rescue him, from his family and himself. I found myself wanting redemption for many of the characters, you do not always get what you want. This book is a page turner and really hard to put down once you start. If you are fascinated by the story and wanting more, the nice thing is that there is a second book, What Lies Buried. I recommend the read if you can handle the subject matter.

I am sincerely impressed with this novel. The author did some serious research and/or has experience with PTSD and how it affects different people. I also love that the author knows about one of the fight or flight responses that many do not know about: fawn. If you are looking for a novel that intertwines knowledge of PTSD, this book is for you. I highly recommend as someone who helps those with PTSD every day and studied it.

The only reason for four stars instead of five is because the repetition became tedious. While I am reading, I do not need to be reminded of what I have already read. Otherwise, the characters and plot were well thought out and I cannot wait to dive into the next one!

Evil Sushi is Book One in the Evil Sushi Series. It is a paranormal suspense full of mystery, intrigue, action, adventure, greed, secrets, and good versus evil. This is yet another cleverly written book by this author that never ceases to amaze me with her unique and creative stories. When two fishermen make a discovery, it has the possibility of changing things for everyone. The question is whether that change will be for the better or worse. This newest tale takes the world of fishing and turns it upside down with its take on environmental pollution, corporate greed, pandemics, politics, and desperation. With detailed and vivid writing the author fully immerses the reader into the story and the numerous twists and turns will compel you to read until the end. Looking forward to book two!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in The Oath Series. This is the first book I have read by this author but I am definitely going to be reading more. This is was such a beautiful moving romance. The author deals with topics such as grief and how that can affect someone’s life in a variety of ways creating a huge impact that some people struggle to work through.
Both of our main characters have suffered losses but together they help each other work through it and find love that they didn’t even know they wanted or needed.

Hailey Prescott has made her life her business. As the owner of a B&B she loves the fact that people come into her life and leave without any fuss or heartache. She has never thought of finding Love or a family as the business is her life. And then Loch Mackenzie comes into her life. Hailey can see and feel the sadness that Loch carries with him and plans to help him work through his pain the way she has done in the past.

Loch Mackenzie is a superstar but after the death of his sister he is struggling to move forward as the grief is all consuming. His agent books him into Hailey’s B&B to rest and recover. He can’t explain it but there is something about Hailey that makes him feel alive again.
Neither of them was expecting to find love but sometimes things happen for a reason. Could this be fate putting Loch with Hailey and giving him a reason to live again?

I loved this! It’s set in the future where all the big corporations’ have taken over the sea so there’s no fish for the little guy to catch and the seas are sparse with fish anyway. People are starving and struggling to make money; Ned & Rod are out fishing one day and they find a ‘new’ species of fish which could save them and the people in their town. It reproduces instantly using salt and can immediately grow bigger ready to reproduce; Too good to be true right? Well it was! Follow them as their lives are turned upside down. Discover what this ‘new’ species of fish really is and how they have to work to overcome this threat to humanity.
I couldn’t put it down! It started great, gripped me from the first page. It’s got lots of twists and turns to it. I thought the story was going one way then it turned in a different direction then again later it did it again! Brilliant! My favorite character was Ned; he’s funny and tetchy and bossy. Loved him. I will definitely be reading the following book.

This is not the first book by this author I have picked up, and it definitely will not be the last. This is, however, the first book in the Weird Shifters series, so thankfully there will be more! For anyone who appreciates paranormal stories, there is a little bit of everything all rolled up in one story. Ducky is a character I found myself rooting for from the beginning. The story is interesting and well-written. This is also the first book I have read that involves shifters, so I was intrigued from the get-go. If you are looking for a cozy, fun, escape-from-reality kind of book, then I highly suggest picking up this book and getting lost in the world of Ducky.
