Yeti Left Home by Aaron Rosenberg My rating: 5 of 5 stars This one was a ton of fun! I have never read this author and I’m so pleased to have been introduced to them! Everything about this story was my kind of thing- i love the supernatural, murders, and adorable protagonists. I think this […]
Amy’s Rebellion by Julia Goldhirsh My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this one! I loved the representation of all the characters (Iris was a quick fave!)- and I admired all of their depth. They seemed depicted as they were young and some of their character flaws were relatable. I thought the story […]
Noah’s Not So Super Summer by Brittany Tucker My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a really cute read- and how relatable is it when a summer(season, holiday, whatever) you want to go a certain way, doesn’t turn out? I loved all the characters (Noah was my daughters favorite), the creatures, and the world […]
Insomnia by Kelly Covic My rating: 5 of 5 stars First off: BEAUTIFUL cover. It really caught my eye and made me excited to read this collection! I feel like short stories can so often be hit or miss but these were fantastic. They were wonderfully written in a way that kept me compelled to […]
Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel by Reggi Dupree My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a FANTASTIC read. I haven’t read this author prior to this book and I couldn’t put it down. It was the most fun I have had reading in awhile. I’m a sucker for stories about inheritances […]
Frozen by Lies by Martha Sweeney My rating: 4 of 5 stars Fun read! I was really intrigued by the premise when I read a description of the book and it didn’t disappoint. The MCs, Noelle and Nikolaus, were cute and the chemistry between them fluctuated to me at times but that could possibly be […]
Echoing Hearts by C.R. Alam My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this one! This was a wonderfully written slow burn romance that was a blast to read. I enjoyed Rae and Deans chemistry. The storyline kept me hooked and I read this in practically one sitting. The secondary characters were fleshed out […]
The Veil of Corruption by C.B. Lyall My rating: 5 of 5 stars Ahhhhhh! Has anyone read Evil Sushi? That was my favorite read of 2022. It was just so weird and wonderful- I read it in 1 night. This book is absolutely nothing like it (plot and story wise) but it gave me that […]
The Exchange: A Novel by Nadija Mujagic My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’m a big fan of thrillers- and psychological ones could be my favorite. This one was pretty great. The idea behind this story isn’t a new one- kinda reminded me of the story of Rumpelstiltskin (if that’s how you spell it). But […]
Vaughn’s Xena by M.I. Rosegold My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’m not sure if y’all can see what I’ve read for my previous years reading challenges but you’d quickly realize I read almost exclusively smut. This had some grad A smut in it. The storyline was a little awkward for me though. I wrote […]
Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller by Susan Specht Oram My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’ve always been a fan of suspense/mystery/and thrillers. I’ve kinda lost interest in the last few years but lately I’ve been giving them a try again and now I remember why they’re so addicting! This was a good thriller. […]
Lucky Stars by Fantasia Yu My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’m a glutton for space, aliens, adventure, and romance. And this really fit the bill. My favorite character had to be Pola. She was just so funny and goofy. I had a hard time empathizing or relating to the FMC but to be fair […]
Chatroom With A View by Glenn Maynard My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was pleasantly surprised by this book! I read some of the reviews before I read it- and I was worried about how dark the story would be- but it was really well written. I didn’t feel like it was dark for […]
Arrrgh! Me HATE To Wait! by Mary Evanson Bleckwehl My rating: 5 of 5 stars My daughter and I read this together tonight and it was so fun! She’s 4 and enjoyed the pirates vernacular and the BEAUTIFUL illustrations. The story was super cute and easy to read- and the detail on the illustrations was […]
Married Blind by Morgana Bevan My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’m a pretty big fan of “marriage of convenience” tropes and this one was a lot of fun. I liked the reality TV aspect of it- I haven’t read any other book that used that. It wasn’t a drawn out read- always a win […]
Son of Asmodeus by Barb Jones I’m a pretty basic person when I choose books to read- and often solely choose them on the title. This series seemed more serious for me when i chose it and phew- I was wrong. I’m often reminded by good stories and novels why I shouldn’t choose them solely […]
Ladybugs for Loretta by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 5 of 5 stars AH! What a CUTE read. I love finding books that my daughter and I can enjoy together. This was such a fun read- I loved ladybugs as a kid and thanks to this book I know how I kept killing them. 😂 I […]
Beast by Leslie Georgeson My rating: 5 of 5 stars Let me start this out by saying I’m not the hugest mafia/bratva fan but PHEW. This author got me changing my mind. I find something incredibly sexy about a scarred up MC- especially when they have more substance than their character revolving around their scars. […]
Love Tools by Isobel Reed My rating: 5 of 5 stars UGH. SO FREAKING GOOD. I ADORE Jake and Lily. Their banter? Hilarious. Their chemistry? Off the charts. Once I picked this bad boy up I just couldn’t put it down. The storyline was interesting but the chemistry kept pulling me back in. I love […]
Rainbow’s Red Book of Poetry by Lily Lawson My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was my first book of poetry from this author and it was AMAZING. I haven’t read any poetry since my freshman year of college and it’s obvious I have been missing out! The author has a very lyrical quality in […]
A Christmas to Remember: An Anthology from 5 Prince Publishing by Bernadette Marie My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was the cutest collection of Christmas stories I’ve read! I’ve never been a huge fan of Christmas stories but I really enjoy them in this medium. I enjoyed reading different tales by multiple authors- none […]
The Final Bite by Naomi Valkyrie My rating: 5 of 5 stars Happy Halloween my spooky friends and what a wonderful time to read this book! I’m pretty sure this is my first read by this author and I really felt captivated from beginning to end. I’m so excited to delve into other stories from […]
Order of Vespers by Matilda Reyes My rating: 4 of 5 stars Happy Halloween my friends and what a good read this was for it! I’m always a little bummed when I start a new series because I usually wait for multiple books to be out but boy- this was a good one! I LOVED […]
Elemental Fire by E.G. Manetti My rating: 5 of 5 stars LOVED this book! This is my first read by this author and it was ADDICTING. As soon as I started I refused to put it down! I loved how commonplace magical folk are- and the idea of glamor to disguise their true appearance. The […]
Grave Digger Academy II by C.A. King My rating: 4 of 5 stars Ahhh! We are BACK for the sequel. I really enjoyed this one! I love Makayla- and seeing how she was ostracized from her family was interesting. I was wondering how they would react to her being in the Grave Digger Academy. The […]
Grave Digger Academy by C.A. King My rating: 3 of 5 stars I haven’t read a good YA book in quite some time and this was a good start! To start: The only reason for 3 stars is because I feel like there was a LOT going on and it was a little clunky trying […]
Hungry Business by Maria DeBlassie My rating: 5 of 5 stars Did anyone ever read “fanfiction” on quizilla? Exclusively the y/n (your name) stories? This reminded me of those- in kind of a vague way- but it was still entirely nostalgic. I really loved this bite sized read. I finished it entirely too quickly and […]
Jake by Toni Denise My rating: 4 of 5 stars Okay. This was really cute! I loved getting introduced to the handsome bachelors and seeing a tidbit of all their personality’s. I really loved getting to know Jake though- he had such a sweet side and there were so many highlight-able moments! (I’m one of […]
Thief by Leslie Georgeson My rating: 5 of 5 stars Okay- LOVED this one. I haven’t read the other books in this series but I REALLY liked this one. There is something yummy about the main characters- and the way they met! I’m a sucker for mafia romance and man was this one a treat! […]
Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme My rating: 4 of 5 stars I gotta say, the fake couple trope (I’m sure it has a real name but I’m not sure what it is 😅) is one of my absolute favorites. This royal romance sure packs a punch! It’s got some sweetness, some scandals, some steaminess, and […]
