Seven Strengths: A Tale from Turaset by P.L. Tavormina My rating: 4 of 5 stars Seven Strengths: A Tale from Turaset is a prequel to the Industrial Age trilogy. It is the first I have read, but likely will continue reading. It took me a while to get into the story, as the first 1/3 […]
Depending On You by Jessica Aiken-Hall My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was anxiously awaiting Depending On You’s release date, because it sounded so good! I am glad I read it, and didn’t have to wait any longer. This book was so intense and had a lot going on, and emotions ran high. It […]
The Worry Knot by Mary Evanson Bleckwehl My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved the Worry Knot. I thought it would be good for my middle schooler, but wanted to read it myself first, and make sure it was appropriate for her age. It is rated as a 10-18 year old range, but I […]
A Bride for Noah by Cheryl Wright My rating: 5 of 5 stars I debated on reading A Bride for Noah for a couple days, before finally downloading it. I am glad I chose to read it, because I really enjoyed it. The summary of the story caught my attention, but the cover art made […]
A Hundred Wishes by Marianne Rice My rating: 5 of 5 stars A Hundred Wishes is part of the Band of Sisters series. I haven’t read any of the others, but I likely will. I really enjoyed this book and the writing style. While it was narrated by a 3rd person perspective, there are parts […]
Savage Secrets by Amy McKinley My rating: 5 of 5 stars Savage Secrets is a very fitting title for the 4th book in the Mafia Elite series. There was so much going on in this book that caught me off guard. It is action packed, and lots of surprised and twists. I loved it. While […]
Sinful Vow by Emily Bowie My rating: 5 of 5 stars Sinful Vow is the first book in the Dark Mafia Sins series. I have read book 2, and didn’t even realize this was from the same series until the very end. So clearly, I like this series, and now I want to read them […]
Wild Hare’s Daughter by Laura Koerber My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wild Hare’s Daughter was so much better than I expected! This is a new story to me, and I didn’t read the first book in the series, Wild Hare. That being said, this book can (and was) enjoyed without feeling like I was […]
Face the Fire by Michele Sims My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was happy to see another book in the More Family Saga. Face the Fire was not my favorite in the series, but it was still a good continuation. The story picks up shortly after the previous book left off- with Miles and […]
Apocalypse Thoughts by Kendra Griffin My rating: 5 of 5 stars Apocalypse Thoughts was a great book, I didn’t want to put it down. It is the 2nd book in the Pox Series, but I didn’t read the first. I was worried I wouldn’t understand what was going on, but that was not the case […]
Swipe Right to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen My rating: 5 of 5 stars Swipe Right to Bite is the most recent book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series, but can be enjoyed freestanding. This series has overlapping characters, but they are all written in a way that you can read independently. I love this book, […]
States of Grace by Mandy Miller My rating: 5 of 5 stars States of Grace was a really good book, I was shocked to see it was the first by this author. It had a lot of hints toward previous events, I thought for sure I missed a book. I hope there is a prequel […]
Unlikely to Stay by Ashlie Knapp My rating: 5 of 5 stars Unlikely to Stay is the first book I have read in the Parker Lake series. I haven’t read the first two, but I am planning to go back and read them now. Unlikely to Stay is book 3 in the series, but it […]
A Cold Creek Christmas by K.G. Fletcher My rating: 5 of 5 stars A Cold Creek Christmas is part of the Reigning Hearts series, but can be read as a stand alone. There are mentions to past characters, but the story is independent. This was a cute quick story to get you in the Christmas […]
No Names to Be Given by Julia Brewer Daily My rating: 5 of 5 stars No Names to be Given is probably the best book I have read all year. It really stuck with me, and I didn’t want to put it down. While it is not advertised as being a true story, it totally […]
Murder off Route 82 by Jane Suen My rating: 4 of 5 stars Murder off Route 82 is the 3rd book in the Eve Sawyer Mystery series. While it does have overlapping characters, it doesn’t really need to be read in order or as a series. It can be enjoyed as a stand alone, as […]
Born in Darkness by Amy McKinley My rating: 5 of 5 stars Born in Darkness is the 3rd book in the Mafia Elite series. I love this series and cant wait for the next book. Each book focuses on one couple within the 5 families in the Chicago Mafia. This book is the story of […]
Mom, Is There a Santa Claus? by Susan J. Berger My rating: 5 of 5 stars Mom is There a Santa Claus is such an adorable book. It is a great tool for addressing that transition period, when a child begins to question Santa. I am going to keep this book in my back pocket, […]
Fall to Pieces by Becky Flade My rating: 4 of 5 stars Fall to Pieces ended up being much better than I expected. The description had me interested, as I enjoy crime thrillers- law and order type, if you will. The cover art had me expecting more of a romance novel. While it did have […]
Love’s Reverie by K.G. Fletcher My rating: 5 of 5 stars Love’s Reverie is the 2nd book in the Stardust Duet. It should be read after Love’s Refrain, to understand what is going on. The book continues the love story of Kat and Phillip, a love so strong, it spread across time. The story bounces […]
Fate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie My rating: 5 of 5 stars Fate, Frankincense & Funerals is a great story, filled with so much imagery. It feels so much longer than just 57 pages, because it is so well written. The author has a way with words, allowing the readers to envision the story […]
Blood Oath by Amy McKinley My rating: 5 of 5 stars Blood Oath, the 2nd book in Amy McKinley’s Mafia Elite series had me hooked. I love all of McKinley’s books, but the Mafia ones are my favorite. There are a LOT of characters, which makes the first part of the book intense, but once […]
Snowflakes & Stockings by Marianne Rice My rating: 5 of 5 stars Snowflakes & Stockings is another really cute book by Marianne Rice, in the Wilton Hills Christmas series. It can be read as a stand alone- it is the first book I read in this series and I loved it. I look forward to […]
Snowfall Serenade by Nikki Lynn Barrett My rating: 5 of 5 stars Snowfall Serenade is the 3rd book in the Soul Connection series by Nikki Lynn Barrett. It needs to be read in order, as there is a lot of connections. I have read the other 2 and still didn’t recall a lot of what […]
Shadows of Doubt: A Crawford Mystery by Merissa Racine My rating: 5 of 5 stars Shadow of Doubt was just as good as the first book in the series. I look forward to more books by Merissa Racine, as I loved both books in the Crawford Mystery series. I really would love to know if […]
Silent Gavel by Merissa Racine My rating: 5 of 5 stars Silent Gavel is my first Merissa Racine book, but it won’t be my last. I was instantly hooked and didn’t want to put it down. It is the first book in the Crawford Mystery series, and is a page turner. It is action packed […]
Death under Palm Trees by Carmen Radtke My rating: 3 of 5 stars Death under Palm Trees is the 4th book in the Jack and Frances mystery series by Carmen Radtke. It is the first I have read by this author (and the series) and it wasn’t for me. The book was well written, and […]
Love’s Refrain by K.G. Fletcher My rating: 5 of 5 stars I am a big fan of KG Fletcher, so I did not even read the description to this book before I started reading it. At first I was a little confused as to what was happening, and thrown off. Most of her books are […]
Whisper Creek by Valerie Davisson My rating: 5 of 5 stars Whisper Creek is the 7th book in the Logan McKenna series by Valerie Davisson. It can be read as a standalone book. I have read one or two others, but not the whole series. There are a lot of references to past people or […]
Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III My rating: 4 of 5 stars Goddess of Everything is the only book I have read by Paul DeBlassie III. It was very dark and twisted psychological thriller. It wasn’t scary in the sense I couldn’t sleep, but more, when you think about it, the characters and story […]
