Borrowed Time by Lane Cohen My rating: 4 of 5 stars What’s not to love about gunslingers and time travel?

War Horses Book 1: Chevalier by Scott Warren My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is book one in a series and was definitely not what I was expecting. I don’t think I have ever read a sci-fi book with a military theme. It doesn’t take place on Earth. The main character is Rande “Vandal” […]

Sessrumnir by T.S. Simons My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is the 5th book in a series and brings the series to conclusion. I enjoyed this book as I did the entire series. I highly recommend reading the other books in order first, before reading this one. There are a lot of characters […]
Necrosis by C.L. Schneider My rating: 4 of 5 stars I absolutely hated this book! You might be asking why I gave it 4 stars then? Ok fine; I hated that it ended with a mother’s sacrifice for her daughter! The writing was so good, and it pulled me in right from the beginning. This […]
Gathering of the Four by A.E. Bennett My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book is the first in a series, and I cannot wait until the next one comes out! It will be on my calendar! This book was unique in its story while still having a Hunger Games Capitol vibe. The main characters […]

The Letter Carrier by Laurie L.C. Lewis My rating: 5 of 5 stars What a powerful riveting story.

Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme My rating: 4 of 5 stars When I started this book, I did not think I was going to like it. I was worried it was going to be less about the story and more about being steamy. I’m happy to say that I was wrong! It was such a […]

The Lie That Binds by Amy Argent My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was such a good book! I could hardly put it down, because the story was so well written. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the excessive vulgar language and explicit sexual nature was […]
Twilight’s Spy by K.M. Wray My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book is in a series, kind of a bridge between books one and two. While it works as a stand alone, I highly recommend reading the first book as it answers some questions and is in the same realm. I loved reading about […]
