Euphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the Mind by Ryan M. Becker My rating: 3 of 5 stars My reading experience with this book was complex. I found it intriguing, yet challenging. The wide variety of subject matter keeps things interesting, however the composition of the book […]
Foxy Tails by Natalina Reis My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a fun read. I enjoyed the characters’ interactions with each other. The worldbuilding was good. I liked the build up to the relationship between Huli and Xiao Ying. Ling Ling’s character was superb. The story starts right in the middle of the […]
Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel by Reggi Dupree My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved this book! The characters are intriguing and vibrant. The world building is good. The only thing that could have been better is having some of the backstory fleshed out a bit more. But even so, I […]
Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn My rating: 4 of 5 stars There is a prequel to this story that gives more insight into the tension between Riley and Cole, but it’s not an absolute must in order to understand what’s going on in this book. As with the prequel, Riley’s […]
Shadow by D.M. Earl My rating: 4 of 5 stars This story picks up right after the events of the first book. As with the first book, be aware of content warnings. This story deals with some heavy subject matter that may be difficult for some readers. I felt like this book is actually better […]
Tink by D.M. Earl My rating: 4 of 5 stars First, know going in that, as mentioned in the book description, this is not a sweet romance. There are no specific content warnings listed, but this story deals with some heavy subject matter and some on-page scenes that may be difficult for some readers. I […]

What I Wish I’d Known: For Writers: 100 Authors Reveal What They Wish They’d Told Their Younger Selves by H. D. Thomson My rating: 4 of 5 stars If you’ve been authoring for a while, this book will mostly be a refresher for you. A lot of the things mentioned are things prominent in author […]
Chatroom with a View by Glenn Maynard My rating: 3 of 5 stars I picked up the book because the blurb intrigued me. Unfortunately, the story wasn’t what I hoped it would be. It starts out right in the middle of the action and then it sort of fizzles out in the middle, causing the […]
The Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool My rating: 4 of 5 stars Maybe it’s been too long since I’ve read a Western, but this story seemed to go on and on. It felt extremely dense. If you like a lot of world-building in your story, this is definitely the book for that. Personally, I […]
Savage Start: A High School Bully Romance: Hidden Valley Elite Prequel by Isla Vaughn My rating: 4 of 5 stars Quick read as a lead in to the book Savage Lies. This story ends on a cliffhanger. When I started reading it, I was a bit iffy about it. I didn’t really feel any kind […]
Talisman: The Talisman Series by Tam DeRudder Jackson My rating: 4 of 5 stars I liked the idea of this story more than the story itself. The story started out alright, but once the two main characters meet up the second time, it felt like they barely even had a connection on Alyssa’s end of […]
Night Hawke by Gwyn McNamee My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’ve heard good things about the first series, but I haven’t picked up any books from it. I decided to check out this prequel to get a feel for what the second generation series might be like. What I liked: The writing is well […]
The Daredevil by Nadia Han My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed the story line around Royce. I found Michelle’s story line to be chaotic. It feels like the author tried to pad out her part of the story with too many variables. I also found the flashbacks to the past slowed the story […]
Murder on oak street by I. M. Foster My rating: 4 of 5 stars I didn’t know what to expect from this book, but I thought it sounded interesting, so I gave it a shot. The author is a historian, so the historical aspects are done well. Unfortunately, I had difficulty sticking with the book, […]
Dia’s Lure by Catherine Peace My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the third book in the series. I have not read the previous books and I was able to pick up on everything that’s going on in the story. That being said, it would probably make even more of an impact if I […]
Misfortune of Song: An Irish Historical Fantasy Family Saga by Christy Nicholas My rating: 5 of 5 stars Misfortune of Song is the fifth book in the Druid’s Brooch series. It can be read as a standalone. The author has done a superb job of weaving an enchanting story. The characters come alive on the […]
Ghost Talker by Byrd Nash My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the first book in this series. It was a quick, easy read. The story had a good flow and great characters. The one thing I feel could have been expanded on a little more is the Morpheus Society. It’s mentioned, but you […]
Friends with Benies: An AMBW Paranormal Romance by T.B. Bond My rating: 4 of 5 stars While this is the seventh book in the series, it can be read as a standalone. I’m going to be honest, I nearly passed up this book because of the word Benies in the title. For some reason that […]
From Brick & Darkness by J.L. Sullivan My rating: 5 of 5 stars I didn’t know what to expect from this book, but the description intrigued me. It turned out to be a great read. The characters were easy to connect to and the story moved at a good pace. I loved the distinctions between […]
Necrosis by C.L. Schneider My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is a quick read, but it doesn’t disappoint. It starts off with action and keeps up a steady pace throughout the story. Intense, but then again, it wouldn’t be a good zombie-type story if it wasn’t. The main character, Amy, was easy to connect […]
Grave Digger Academy II by C.A. King My rating: 4 of 5 stars This installment has a ton of HP vibes, especially with the flying car and the competition among the schools. I enjoyed the story and the character development. You get to know more about the main cast of characters in this book, which […]
Grave Digger Academy by C.A. King My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book. The premise was interesting. The characters were easy to connect to. Loved the helper/familiar character additions. A big bonus for me is that you get enough information about what’s going on, without a bunch of extraneous details. It […]
Hard Lover by Deborah Garland My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the second book in this series, but I was able to pick it up and read it without having read the first book. This is a complete story, but the epilogue ends with a lead into the next book. As much as […]
Ritual Obsession by R.L. Dunn My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the first book in the series, and it ends in a cliffhanger. If you are sensitive to violence against women, please heed the content warnings as there are on-page scenes. I wanted to love this book because the description seemed intriguing. Unfortunately, […]
Watcher by A.L. Morrow My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the first book in the series and ends in a cliffhanger. I enjoyed this story much more than the original Romeo and Juliet. Loved the characters. Great twists and turns. Plenty of action, danger, and steam. There are a couple of moments that […]
Sword of Darkness by L.M. Preston My rating: 4 of 5 stars This story is labeled as book 3.5 in the series. The overall story can be read as a standalone, but you’d probably relate to the characters better if you’ve read the previous books. This story ends in a cliffhanger as a lead into […]
The Second Alpha Heir by C.L. Ledford My rating: 4 of 5 stars I did not enjoy this book as much as I expected to, however that is mostly my own doing. I didn’t pay enough attention to the categories this book is listed under and missed the fact that it’s a coming-of-age story (and […]
Castor’s Kiss by Tai James My rating: 4 of 5 stars I haven’t read much sci-fi romance lately, so I thought I’d give this book a try. I enjoyed the toughness of Mia’s character. Totally related to her disdain when she saw the dress she had to wear near the beginning of the story. Also, […]
Dark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book Series by India Kells My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a superb collection of stories. Great suspense and romance. Wonderful characters. I recommend the box set so you can binge read all of them. The only bad thing about it is when the reading adventure is […]
