Hooked: The Merciless Few (The Merciless Few Series) by S Courtney

Hooked: The Merciless Few is the second book in The Merciless Few Series and is a MC Romance that will have you turning the pages till the end. I highly recommend reading the first book in this series if you haven’t already as it gives you a better understanding of what has been going on and meet characters which overlap to the next story. This is a fairly new author to me but I like where this series is going so far My emotions were all over the place with this story and at one point I had tears running down my face. My heart broke for Fiend aka Jett. This is Jett and Poppy’s story. Fiend holds many secrets and has many struggles which started at a young age. One day you mean everything to your family and then a total disappointment. Fiend leaves his family behind to start a new life with his MC family. He now is in a downward spiral can she help save him before it’s to late? Poppy wants to be his everything but can she get him to see that? I don’t want to give to much away. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author and this series.

The Crown of Stones Trilogy Box Set (The Crown of Stones Series) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Amanda Swindle

The Crown of Stones Complete TrilogyThe Crown of Stones Complete Trilogy by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Crown of Stones is the first series I have read from C.L.Schneider and was an amazing intro into this author. The trilogy is composed of Magic Price, Magic Scars, and Magic Borne.
In book one (Magic Price) we meet Ian Troy: Bounty Hunter. Ian lives in exile and has a rough and rugged past. When the past comes back to haunt him, he must once again take up magic to abolish the threats. Book two (Magic Scars) follows book one, and Ian Troy is in trouble. To suppress his magic, Ian has been tortured and drugged into submission. Ofcourse, our hero isn’t going to sit back while the world around him, and within him, crumbles. In an attempt to answer the questions in his head, and facing his past over again, Ian uncovers secrets that were perhaps better left unfound. Book three (Magic Borne) brings us to the end of Ian’s story and The Crown of Stones in order to free himself, and his people, from the torment and suffering they have endured.
The Crown of Stones Trilogy is a dark fantasy full of adventure, twists, and hard decisions. The characters are believable with their trauma and back story trickling in, and their reactions to events as they happen. Readers should be advised that some parts do get quite heavy as our hero traverses not only the trauma around him, but also within himself. This was a fantastical series and I will be looking into more works from C.L.Schneider!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Art of DeceptionNotebook Mysteries ~ Art of Deception by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have really enjoyed reading the Notebook Mysteries series. Kimberly Mullins is an amazing author who pays special attention to details while writing her mystery books. This allows the reader to delve into the process of trying to solve the mystery right along with our main characters. I love that each story in this series continues to build upon the characters’ backstories, making them more and more dynamic as we delve deeper into their pasts and examine their current relationships with one another. It is also amazing that any one of the books in this series can be read as a stand-alone, although I recommend you read all of the series from the beginning, which is something I am going to go back and do since I jumped into reading the middle of this series. The characters are so relatable, the settings are realistic, and the events that happen are believable, which is so important to a good mystery book. Some parts progressed a little slower at times, but it makes it worth the reader’s time to stick with it because details in a mystery read are so imperative to not miss. This is a great series to read if you love a good mystery that has you guessing throughout the book and then continues to be filled with unexpected twists and turns right to the very end. Happy reading, until next time!

Forever to Fall (Buckeye Falls Book 5) by Libby Kay – Review by Maisie Dickinson

Forever to Fall (Buckeye Falls Book 5)Forever to Fall by Libby Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forever to Fall is the fifth instalment of Libby Kay’s Buckeye Falls series, and it follows childhood friends Beckett and Mallory, who reunite after the tragic loss of Beckett’s grandfather. I loved the previous book so I was really excited to read this one. The prologue was adorable, so well written and gripping. Beckett and Mallory are clearly soulmates, as are Beckett’s grandparents whose love story was beautiful. I loved seeing Alice and James again, and how the childhood best friends to lovers/will they won’t they was executed. It was hard to read the part where Beckett goes out with Cece’s friend, despite understanding why he wanted to keep his feelings from Evan. I also think it would’ve hit harder if Cece’s friend was a pleasure to be around and we could see how he still preferred to be with Mallory. But either way, it’s clear they are the only person for each other. My favourite character was Mallory. I recommend this book because it is a beautiful friends to lovers story. ‘Trying—six little letters strung together for maximum impact.’

Before semi-retiring and turning to write novels, Lee had a varied career. He spent more than 20 years working in the music industry. Everything from playing in bands as a teenager to running an indie record label and record shop during the punk rock era to starting a music collector’s magazine and building it from zero to a circulation of 14,000 copies a month.

He’s met virtually every top ‘pop star’ and achieved one of his lifetime ambitions when he became manager of The Troggs, one of his all-time favourite bands from his teens.

He wrote a best-selling book on the Sex Pistols in 1988, which was published by Omnibus Press and thanks to their well-oiled publicity machine sold a respectable 60,000 copies. It was also published in Japan – in Japanese!

He has lived in Cambridge for most of his life and looks on writing as a new adventure. He still finds time to play the guitar (Fender Stratocaster) and is currently learning to play the drums with his wife. They found a drum teacher who has a studio with two kits and they are learning to play together side by side.

Mr. Lucky, is the first novel in the series. They are all available in eBook and paperback formats.
