Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider My rating: 5 of 5 stars What an exciting conclusion to The Crown of Stones Series! Magic Borne is just as mesmerizing as the first two books in the series. C. L.

Magic-Scars by C.L. Schneider My rating: 5 of 5 stars C. L. Schneider delivers again with Magic Scars, the second book in The Crown of Stones Series! The same memorable, imaginative, wonderfully flawed characters are present in this book. If possible, this book had me more emotionally invested, but also more exhausted. The intensity of […]
Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider My rating: 5 of 5 stars C. L. Schneider delivers with this dark fantasy! What an amazing beginning to a series. Magic Price, the first installment in The Crown of Stones Series, is full of vivid detail, gloriously flawed characters, and such an imaginative, contradictory (to popular lore) take on magical […]
Insomnia by Kelly Covic My rating: 5 of 5 stars I absolutely devoured Kelly Covic’s Insomnia. This collection of 9 short stories is full of scary twists and things that go bump in the night. These stories made my already active imagination run wild! At the end of each story, I felt like I was […]
Fallen Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren My rating: 5 of 5 stars Fallen Soul is the fourth book in the War of Destiny Series, and it is just as fast-paced, full of surprises, and entertaining as the first three books. This book is shorter than the other books of the series, but still packs the […]

The series follows an all-female motorcycle club, with each book focused on a specific member of the club. Shadow focuses on the club’s enforcer, Zoey. There is such a roller […]
Spirit Guide by Byrd Nash My rating: 5 of 5 stars Spirit Guide, the third book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Series, is full of the same witty humor, suspense, mystery, and drama as the first two books. The slow-burn romance between Elinor and Tristan becomes a point of gossip for Elinor’s new apprentice, […]
The Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool My rating: 4 of 5 stars While not really the type of book I’m drawn to, L. R. Liverpool’s Western, Romance, Thriller, The Man in Black, truly caught me by surprise. The book is rather lengthy (just shy of 900 pages) and starts out a little too slowly […]
The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons My rating: 5 of 5 stars The 45th Parallel is a great continuation in the Antipodes Series. This book focuses more on the next generation of survivors, the children of the people chosen to live within the domes. Caitlin and Seraphina have lived their whole lives within the dome […]
Sessrumnir by T.S. Simons My rating: 5 of 5 stars Just when you think Cam and Freyja, along with the other characters in T. S. Simons’s Antipodes Series, have had all they can take with their many, often perilous adventures, a new danger threatens all of the children. Sessrumnir definitely kicked my momma bear instincts […]
Caim by T.S. Simons My rating: 5 of 5 stars Caim is the fourth installment in the Antipodes Series and this book seems even darker than some of the other books. Cam and Freyja must embark on yet another journey outside the safety of their dome on Lewis. Simons explores the nature of family, love, […]

The Liminal Space by T.S. Simons My rating: 5 of 5 stars I enjoyed this book just as much as the first in the Antipodes Series, if not slightly more! Having already “connected” with many of the characters while reading the first book, I felt more invested in the outcome of the struggles. Cam, and […]
Antipodes by T.S. Simons My rating: 5 of 5 stars The events of the past few years made me a little reluctant to start reading Antipodes. However, I’m extremely glad that I did. T. S. Simons delivers a vast array of characters across many settings and communities as well as great world building in the […]
Talisman: The Talisman Series by Tam DeRudder Jackson My rating: 5 of 5 stars Tam DeRudder Jackson, a fantasy and paranormal author, is a first time read for me. I love stories involving mythology, legends, and folklore so I was very excited to read Talisman. There is a lot of Celtic mythology that was touched […]
Sharing His Nanny by Tori Chase My rating: 4 of 5 stars Sharing His Nanny was not quite what I was expecting. Based on the title and synopsis, I was expecting a bunch of steamy, over-the-top sexual scenes and not much for a story line. I’m glad to say I was wrong in this regard. […]
Delicious Death by Byrd Nash My rating: 5 of 5 stars Byrd Nash delivers one more with the second book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Series, Delicious Death.

Married Blind by Morgana Bevan My rating: 5 of 5 stars Morgana Bevan is a first time author for me so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but she delivered a fun, witty, roller coaster romance with Married Blind. While the story line seemed a little far-fetched to me (marrying a complete stranger), I guess […]
Revenge Never Rests by Laurie L.C. Lewis My rating: 5 of 5 stars Revenge Never Rests is the second book in the Tallie Brown Suspense Series. I did read the first book so I felt that I had all the necessary backstory for this book. If you haven’t read the first book in the series […]
Secrets Never Die by Laurie L.C. Lewis My rating: 5 of 5 stars Laurie Lewis delivers an amazing suspense novel with Secrets Never Die. I was on the edge of my seat the entirety of the novel. While the characters were diverse and often unusual, they were realistic and believable. I found myself completely invested […]
Knight In The Museum by Alice Bienia My rating: 5 of 5 stars Knight in the Museum took me by complete surprise! Alice Bienia is a first time author for me, but the synopsis sounded intriguing so I gave it a shot. I am glad I did, as I have found a wonderful, new-to-me author. […]
Murder on oak street by I. M. Foster My rating: 5 of 5 stars It took me a while to get into this book, as I felt it started off a little slowly. But, once the pace and story picked up, I really enjoyed Murder on Oak Street! I. M. Foster was a first time […]
Reckless Heart by Jane Suen My rating: 4 of 5 stars Jane Suen is a first time author for me.

The characters were realistic, although I felt that […]
Tink: by D.M. Earl My rating: 5 of 5 stars Tink is a great start to the Devil’s Handmaidens MC Series! This was the first time reading about an all-female MC and I was not disappointed. The females were strong, courageous, and tough. D. M. Earl creates surprisingly realistic, flawed characters that I couldn’t help […]
More Than by Diane Barnes My rating: 5 of 5 stars More Than was much more than I was expecting! This book was so beautifully written, with a touch of humor, lots of emotions, and a will to push yourself. The characters are so realistic that I found myself rooting for Peggy as she started […]
Mis-Spelled: Book One of the Stellaluna Chronicles by T.H. Leatherman My rating: 5 of 5 stars Mis-Spelled is such an amazingly fun read! T. H. Leatherman is a new author for me, but I can’t wait to read more. Mis-Spelled was full of fantastic, wonderfully written characters. I found the way Leatherman humanized the fairy-tale […]
Bycatch by Alexander Blevens My rating: 5 of 5 stars Bycatch took me by complete surprise! There is so much depth and thought in the story that I am absolutely amazed! Alexander Blevens delivers with substantial, realistic, multi-level characters. I could almost hear the accent of Jake and Pigeon, feel the anger and confusion of […]
More Text Than Sex by Jim Shomos My rating: 5 of 5 stars Jim Shomos is a first time author for me, but the story sounded interesting. I was not disappointed. From the name of the book, More Text Than Sex, I was expecting a slightly shallow, fluffier piece; what I got was so much […]
