Second Glance (The Serrulata Saga)Second Glance by A.E. Bennett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Second Glance is the fourth book in The Serrulata Saga by A.E. Bennett. It is an historical fantasy/romantic adventure with sci-fi and dystopian elements- with a MM romance (LGBTQ+) at the heart of the storyline. This opposites attract story is packed full of chemistry, spice, and passion as the characters embark on their forbidden romance, and all the adventure that comes.
The author weaves plenty of action, drama, danger, challenges, threats, mystery, tension, and intrigue into the story to keep things interesting.
A.E. Bennett has a very descriptive and detailed writing style, which really helps to paint a picture of the world, characters, and adventure- but still, I had trouble connecting with the characters, which made it hard to invest in them or the outcome of their story. I can’t really pinpoint why I didn’t connect the way I had hoped, maybe I was just having an ‘off’ reading day. So I might have to revisit this book again in the future to see if I still feel the same way or not. So stay tuned.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, A.E. Bennett!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just like the book Unicorns don’t do that, the Dinopotamus is such a fun and unique character. I love love love that the author drew the artwork for this book and that she was inclusive with the other characters she drew. Everyone has representation in the book. I love it. Dinopotamus just wants to do everything the kids do and he does it in his own way half the time lol. Another great read from author Lois Wickstrom. Look forward to reading more.

Troy: A Crown of Stones Origin StoryTroy: A Crown of Stones Origin Story by C. L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a prequel to the Crown of Stones Trilogy. I appreciated this perspective of Ian Troy as it helped to fill in some blanks that I felt was missing, but not necessarily required to enjoy the series. There is actually a bit of a different glimpse of Troy, as this story reflects his younger years. There is a lot of adventure, suspense, magic, and drama in this story as we’ve become accustomed to in this trilogy.

If you’re a fan of fantasy, be sure to grab this one up as well as the following three books!

Loris Opens Up His Heart: An Emotional Story For Kids (Courage Tales)Loris Opens Up His Heart: An Emotional Story For Kids by Dagmara Sitek
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the first book I’d read by this author, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was blown away by how amazing it was! I read this with both of my kids who are 8 and 12 years old, and they loved it as well. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and really add depth to the story. It helped keep my youngest’s attention as well. This is such a beautiful book about resilience and the turbulent times that children can encounter. I especially loved that this focuses on foster kids because they do see the world differently, but they still need love, care, and attention. Sometimes they put up that wall of isolation to stay safe, and this story really shows how to support someone going through that. I highly recommend picking this up for your classroom, library, or home to share with the younger ones in your life. It teaches empathy and emotions as well as different situations that others go through.

I’m a sucker for characters who have artistic passions and run through challenges along their journey. I love reading of their determination to overcome their obstacles. This book has these themes and I enjoyed it! Scoob is a 12 year old trumpet player who has been taught to play since she was very young thanks to her father. Now after finding herself homeless, she is doing what she can to earn her keep and gets a job at an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica. Unfortunately her brother RC has other plans with an unexpected road trip for work. En route, Scoob finds out a very famous jazz player will be scooping new talent in an upcoming visit to the restaurant she was recently hired for. She is determined to get back but one thing after another leaves her feeling hopeless until one life changing event.

I was so excited to read a new book by this author. I have loved every book I have read by this author and this one is no different. This book had me hooked from the beginning and kept me completely enthralled throughout the entire story. This book has drama, chemistry, forgiveness, danger, action, great characters and so much more. Chaz and Helo’s story isn’t something you want to miss out on. Both of these characters are alone because of their pasts that haunt them. Will they see what could be? This is a must read to find out what happens. I highly recommend this book. I can’t wait to read what this author has in store for us next!

This book was impossible to put down! I lost quite a bit of sleep just trying to finish this book and find out what happened. The sheer number of emotions that coursed through me while reading about Scoob and RC is astonishing. There were several times I had to stop and reach for tissues because a moment caught me off guard and caused a few tears. It’s not all sad or gloomy as there are plenty of heartwarming moments throughout this story. I’m still such a band nerd for the trumpet, so this book touched more of my heart than I had expected. The flow of the story is magnificent, and everything unfolded so naturally. The relationship between RC and Scoob definitely exemplified siblings, and I truly loved seeing them fight together to make it through. If you are looking for an emotional rollercoaster with strong family dynamics, and yes, possibly shed a few tears, then this book is for you. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A heartwarming and at times heartbreaking YA novel which kept me captivated throughout. The wonderfully detailed description narrative transported me back to the summer of 1976, making me feel immersed in the story. Twelve year old Scoob is a musical prodigy who dreams of becoming a jazz legend. Having lost her parents her older brother RC looks after her, but they have ended up on the streets and don’t even have money for food. Just as Scoob gets a paying gig and a chance of getting the attention of a famous band leader on tv, RC drags her off on a mysterious road trip. The siblings find themselves stuck in the small town of Rexburg, Idaho.
Within the idyllic farming community the residents are divided over the safety of a newly built dam. Meanwhile the well-meaning locals want to help Scoob and RC, but she just wants to return home and to her audition. Scoob is heartbroken when she learns that RC has not been honest with her. She decides to return home on her own, but then the dam springs a leak. Soon a wall of water is heading for the town destroying everything in its path. As Scoob fights for her life she has to decide what really matters to her. This story literally took me on an emotional rollercoaster and I found it was a real page turner.

Productivity is Power 2 helped to break down the barriers to being productive such as procrastination and perfectionism, which is defined as disempowerment. Hillary Rettig does an excellent job explaining how these bad habits effect the outcome of our work. There is a powerful uplifting message throughout to better oneself. After that there are many practical solutions that are explained such as empowerment and time management. There are many excellent examples and exercises to work through the book to help you further develop yourself. You can apply this book to all aspects of your life from professional to personal. I recommend a read if you’re struggling with being productive in any aspect of your life.

This book is a great tribute to Agatha Christie and provides an entertaining murder mystery story. I really connected with the characters of this book and for me, they are entirely what it is about. I loved watching them try to figure everything out and all of the references back to such a classic murder series.
The author has a great way of telling the story, of allowing it to develop in a way that seems so natural. I found the whole story to be intriguing and enjoyed trying to work out what was going on. The book caught my attention easily and held it right to the end. This is a story definitely worth reading.

Such a cute and interesting book, my two daughters and I loved it as our goodnight book the other day. We split this into two nights as they fell asleep.
We loved how it went through A-Z and had a pic for everyone to guess at first and then fun facts. Enjoyed the little facts at the bottom of the page that turned into mini side conversations with my daughter. Bella (9) loved the Hippopotamus one and we ended up watching a documentary on Hippos the next day. Book even had some Wacky Facts in there!!
Definitely a must read with the other kiddos when they want to read it and I am also thinking about using it for our homeschooling with the 2 little ones for their ABC’s

Thanks, Suzanna, for a awesomely cute book!!

“Thwarting an assassination wasn’t on the menu. Elinor’s holiday is nearly ruined when a poisoner targets the king and what’s even more irritating? Tristan Fontaine, the Duke de Archambeau, thinks to solve the case before she can! Between saving a society lady’s reputation, comforting a girl with a ghostly brother, and conducting a séance for a widow, Elinor has her hands full. All she wants is to enjoy dinners prepared by the best chefs in the land, but Tristan’s mother and sister can’t stop giving bossy advice. It’s enough to spoil the dessert course. Despite it all, she might still find time to enjoy herself especially if it means snooping through other people’s wardrobe closets.”
This is the second in the series, I enjoyed this one as much as the 1st. This book had great storyline, the characters were great, this book had me laughing for some witty commentary in there. Made the book fun and enjoyable. Also quick read. I give this book 4 stars.

Another wonderful story in this series. I was thoroughly enthralled with the trip this one took me on. Trying to keep my wits about me so I could figure it all out. The characters are plentiful. We get a large number we already know with some new additions. Some of them surprised me others I had figured out. We do get to see Madame Chalamet stretch her powers of deduction along with her ghost talking ones. I enjoyed getting more insight into a few of the personalities.

Overall this is another good story in this series. While I was not a hundred percent agreeable with the ending it still is satisfactory. Although a few things happen at the end that I can not wait to see more of in the next book.

This book!!!!! There is so much to say and so much that I do not want to give away. Ghost Talker by Byrd Nash is the first book in the Chalamet series. Elinor is using her skills to help catch her dad’s killer and wants to help until she is put under house arrest by Duke de Archambeau takes over the case. Follow Elinor on a trip through so much from ghosts, to murder, to the Duke.
I did not want to put this down, I wish the book was longer as I was thrown into a world that I didn’t not want to leave. The characters pull you into the story with how complex they are. The storyline that is so intriguing. I love stepping away from my normal reads and finding something like this that I can wait to read more and more!!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting YA read. It also has historical elements and the author does an amazing job of transporting you back to that time period. One thing I loved was seeing the growth of Scoob through the story. She seemed to develop from a child who was souly focused on her own wants and dreams to maturing and realise that sometimes things aren’t all about you.
This story is fast paced, and in parts heartbreaking.
Scoob is a talented young child. When she lands a job playing in a jazz band and a possible meeting with someone very influencel in the industry. It seems her life and dreams finally have a chance to come true, that is until her brother takes her away.
RC makes her leave to attend a music festival however that isn’t the real reason they are leaving. What is RC hiding.
When a dam breaks flooding the town they are living in it leads to chaos and heartbreak for everyone.
This is an emotional rollercoaster of a story. The love between the siblings shines through from beginning to end, even when Scoob was angry at RC you still feel the bond between them. When things go wrong does Scoob realise what is more important. Following her dream or her brother.

Are you ready for a hurricane? Do you have what you need for your pets during this emergency? That is the information you will find in this story of Oscar and Emmy. Abby and Charlie take their pets seriously. They love Oscar and Emmy and want to keep them safe as all fur baby people should do. The author has opened up ideas that even I did not know when it comes to pets. The story may be true but it has so much to tell. Your children will learn through reading. My family really enjoyed reading this story. The author also included a list of things to have ready at the end of the book. So much was to be learned as well as fun to be had. I look forward to reading and learning more about Oscar and Emmy.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Patriot’s Tale: An American Revolutionary War Novel by Nicole Pierman was a really good book! Very easy to read and a page turner.
This book focuses on Lily, a orphan with a thirst for revenge against the redcoats who m*rdered her family. It follows her along as she meets a family who is able to help her reach a rebel settlement. From there, the storyline takes a surprising twist as the enemy commander at a nearby town is completely taken with her (no spoilers!). I definitely recommend this book!
Strong female character, good for mature teens (some war content) and YA. I also read that this was written when the author was 12! You can tell that it was written with a younger narative in mind, but I still really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to see what else this author publishes.

Summer of Mud is a wonderfully written Historical children’s book/YA that is aimed for middle school aged kids but adults can enjoy it as well. I was very eager to dive into this book and truly enjoyed reading it. This is a fairly new author to me but her style of writing and attention to detail along with developed characters make the story come to life. There’s a lot going on in this fast paced story but it’s not overwhelming but pretty easy to follow. Get ready to be taken on quite the adventure with Scoob and her older brother as they travel to a small town. Scoob is a young girl but man she has talent and big dreams. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Spicy? Yep
Sexy? Oh yeah!
Hot? Like a Tamali
Tension? Like a tight rope
On fire? Burning bright and hot

This is the spicy addition of The Music That Ties Us after all. It is a slow burn romance at first then it lights up like a fire in the night. I wonder how I have not come across this author before now.

Nicolette has a way with words that brings the story to life with superbly written characters although there were times when I wanted to shake Cadence and get her to walk away. I wondered if they would ever get their act together. They each have their own pasts to deal with, but they can’t seem to escape them. With evil exes on the scene that I wanted to do bodily harm to.

The Music That Ties Us gave me all the feels in all the right and wrong places. It is a very emotive story, and it is hard to put aside but unfortunately work had other ideas. I read it every waking minute because I was so wrapped up in the story.

I will be read other works by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This one starts out and you feel like you are lost in that cardshop’s channel and this is going to be another rich guy, small town girl romance but somewhere along the way you realize that it is more than that. It is a story of second chances at life, love, friendship, and maybe even a little redemption. But with enough steam to keep you flipping those pages.

Hailey’s entire world crashes around her. Her parents are killed in an accident, she is grieving, but she doesn’t bounce back fast enough for the man she is engaged to and thinks she loves, so he leaves Hailey in the care of her best friend. As Hailey slowly puts the pieces of her life back together, she buys a dilapidated B&B. Rehabbing the B&B becomes Hailey’s lifeline.

Loch needs a break. He is the lead singer of one of the biggest bands in the world. He just lost his sister in a tragedy he is not ready to talk about yet. Loch hasn’t been himself since his sister died. Now, he just needs some space, some time to get his head together before all the pressure his manager and label are putting on him to write the next greatest hit. When Loch rents out Hailey’s B&B for some rest, he never expects to meet the one person that is the balm to his soul.

As Hailey and Loch grow closer, all the red flags from Hailey’s relationship with her ex haunt her. She is just not ready to love. Loch falls hard. He starts feeling and hearing the music again. When Loch brings the rest of the group up to Hailey’s to work before going on tour, Hailey brefriends each member. When Hailey joins the guys on the road for part of the tour, those friendships and her relationship with Loch only deepen. But Hailey must face her fears about love and relationships before she and Loch implode.

If rockstars are your thang, you wanna jump in on this series. It is beautiful and rich. It is deep and romantic. It is steamy but not too much. Jump in with this group and take The Oath!!

A Patriot’s Tale by Nicole Pierman – Review by Stephanie tellas

/0 Comments/in /by

“The American Revolutionary War rages on. Can a young woman overthrow a loyalist-infested district and help the rebel cause turn the tide? South Carolina, 1778. Lily Thompson burns to overthrow the British. In a daring bid to flee her enemies and join the fledgling American fight, she becomes a ward and takes on the guise of a man. But just after joining a raid against the British army, the determined freedom fighter is captured and held for ransom for a hefty price Unable to hide in the shadows after she is released, Lily cannot sit by idly while those around her struggle to survive. Seeing the captain’s growing infatuation as a weakness, Lily joins a spy ring in a bid to help the local militia’s need to overthrow the vicious British captain. But what will happen to Lily as she plays the dangerously unnerving game of intrigue? If you like strongly independent women, meticulous historical detail, and stories set during the American Revolutionary War, then you will love A Patriot’s Tale.
This is not a typical story I would read, but it was interesting to read about what this lady went through during these difficult days and trying to become independent and fight for woman’s independence. If you like fictional historical stories this is the book for you. I give this book 4 stars.
