My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book from start to finish. It is absolutely amazing. The characters are well thought out and developed. The plot is engaging and absolutely hilarious at times.

Evan is the character you just have to love. The book starts out rough but he protects another and gets mysteriously thrust into a new realm, one of fairies, dwarves, elves and trolls. In order to get back to the human realm and his family he must complete 3 tasks for the elven queen. Piece of cake right? Not even a little, each task is more difficult than the last and with little support Evan must learn to negotiate deals to learn other’s magic to use in his quests. What happens though when those who deal like to try to twist words? Be careful of the words used to make deals after all most of these magical creatures are only in it when it benefits them more than you.

I really enjoyed how Evan, unlike his brothers, resorts to solving the problems with peaceful solutions rather than violence. He is a very careful yet resourceful person who will need all his smarts to make it out of this realm. I could not put this book down and just had to keep reading one more chapter to find out what happened next. If you like fantasy books with some mystery, action, adventure, and comedy then this is definitely the book for you. I will be recommending this book to many friends, it is that good.

The IntrudersThe Intruders by Brett McKay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beginning in chapter one, the reader is pulled into the life of Dex, is at a crappy car sales job during the day, and writes a novel at night (this reminds me of Tom Clancy and his debut novel- sales by day, writer by night). Dax sees a strange man at the end of his shift and gets a mysterious package in the mail. This piques curiosity for the reader and you want to know more about this stranger he sees. The cover only gives a hint at the strange supernatural events that unfold. The Intruders is full of action, danger, high-stakes, supernatural forces, and gripping details that keep the reader turning page after page. The transition from Kindle Vella felt like a smooth read and enjoyed reading the story!

I just loved this book! Georgia and Hudson are as different as the dog and cat they respectively own. This rom com had me in stitches at their antics. Both main characters are stubborn and unwilling to admit what is right in front of them. The online chats were perfect and so realistic. I can’t wait to tear into the next book.

5 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I finally got the my hands on book 2 of the series and it did not disappoint!! Even though this book could be read as a standalone I highly recommend reading book 1 to get to know Hunter Divine.

Hunter Divine, former US Marshal and now a PI and his crew have to pick up and head to Reno…..trying to find whom is responsible for the blackmail scheme against Hollywood celebrity Megan Getz. Can Hunter and his team find the culprit against Megan before it is to late?

Glitz, glam, extortion, drama and corruption all wrapped up into a fantastic book!

This book is hard to put down. The author really sucks you in from the beginning. I cannot wait to pick up book 3 and I love the characters……and I am definitely going to re-read books 1 and 2 again!

I love a good book about a woman starting a new chapter in the book of her life! The heroine finds herself in situations she never would have expected. Betrayal, deceit, and mystery abound. She also finds herself dealing with her aging mother who likes to heap guilt onto her only child. This book has so many things different readers can relate to on many different levels. The heroine learns when to ask others for help, even as she learns she is capable of much more than she ever dared to dream!

Another winning book in this series. Petty has always been a jerk but in this book we learn more about him and understand why. When he was little, he made a promise to his dad before he was killed in battle. This promise has made him who he is today and has gotten him into a sticky situation. Too embarrassed to let his brothers in, he gets himself into more trouble. Feeling alone, he can only turn who might understand, the woman he’s supposed to protect, Roselyn. She feels like they are oil and water but she’s drawn to him no e the less. She can see there is more to him than he lets on.

Once again this author has went above and beyond and brought us another amazing story. Bringing to light a subject that not many people are ready to talk about. This is definitely a must read.

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns)Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have ever read by Kay L. Moody. I was first drawn in by the cover and the name of the series, the synopsis was interesting, so I gave it a chance and started reading. Chloe is a human girl that for years she had lived in a Faerie world. The loss of her parents forced her and her younger sister Grace to move to the mortal realm with their older brother Vesper and his family.
In a time where women were not considered equal to men Chloe had gotten lucky when the previous towns apothecary passed away, no one else wanted the job so she took it. She was now 18 and had been back in the mortal realm for 3 years, she has been the town apothecary for one year and was determined to be as selfless as possible to relief her ill placed guilt on herself for something that happened when she was eleven. Suddenly a Fae illness was showing in her mortal town, determined to save everyone in her town that was suffering including Grace. Quintus is a Fae; someone Chloe has longed for but knows that she can’t be with him because not all Fae want to learn how to love. He needs her help in Faerie when a group of mortals that her older sister had rescued turn against the Fae, determined to kill them all. Loyal to the people of her town Chloe refuses to leave before she has successfully cured everyone, until she drowns, and Quintus saves her the only way he can. Waking up she is now in Faerie at first, she is angry until she learns that the illness plaguing her town is directly from Faerie. The two realms are linked together, and the iron poisoning Faerie is leaking into the mortal realm. To save her town and her sister she must save Faerie first. Along her journey Chloe and Quintus grow closer giving her a flash of hope before she pushes it down and out of her mind. She has been giving so much of herself to the town never taking a moment for her own needs that she feels she is withering away, empty and gasping for air.
Will Chloe learn to put herself first in order later save those around her or will she continue to drown in the selflessness she has been told is her only quality or importance? The author’s world is breathtaking, her characters both relatable and easy to love. Chloe and Quintus have a mutual love for each other makes your heart flutter with butterflies the purity of their growth is genuine and relatable. This book is a clean underlying romance and some of the sweetest things I have read between two characters. I cannot wait for book two Shadow and Crystal Thorns to see where their journey will take them next.

Petty's Crime (Satan's Devils MC Las Vegas #3)Petty’s Crime by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another amazing story featuring the Satan’s Devils MC, Las Vegas Chapter, and having read and enjoyed the previous books in the series, I was looking forward to this latest one, and I was definitely not disappointed. I was hooked from start to finish by Petty and RoseLyn’s story. As usual the world of the Satan’s Devils came vividly to life by the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in their world and in the story. Petty had spent years hiding who he really is, even from his club brothers, out of shame, but he thought that at least his past was over. However, when his nemesis returns, with the intention of destroying his life, Petty realises that just like in the past he can’t protect himself from her. Meanwhile, he’s been put on bodyguard duty to protect RoseLyn from her dangerous ex boyfriend. RoseLyn is grateful to be under the protection of the Satan’s Devils’ Security Services, but her bodyguard Petty is so disrespectful and rude.

However, it doesn’t take her long to realise that beneath the persona he presents to the world is actually someone very different, and she decides to see if she can save him. When his brothers desert him, Petty realises that RoseLyn is still there for him. Petty was not an easy character to like in the beginning but as his backstory was explained, and as his character developed, especially having met RoseLyn, by the end I was hoping he would get his HEA. RoseLyn’s character is perfect for Petty, and she was an relatable character. I felt completely invested in the story, which flowed well and the plot twists kept me gripped. As usual, I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this MC romance. An enjoyable and engaging read which I definitely recommend, and I’m now waiting impatiently for book four!

The VeilThe Veil by Wanda Luthman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an interesting story and not one I would usually read. However, the description intrigued. Not being a particularly religious person, the tearing of the veil isn’t something I was familiar with so enjoyed the telling of this story. Although put forward as a fictional book this is one that definitely steers more towards the religious side. It was a great way to become acquainted with the story, although I would have liked a little more detail on the periphery of fiction.
However, the book is well written and an interesting story. I am definitely pleased I gave it a go. For anyone wanting something with a little more faith then I would highly recommend this book.

This is a short but entertaining story about two characters who are fighting for something. This is an easy book to engage with, the story is enjoyable and the characters are relatable.

Can you imagine discovering the complexities of the music/lyrics of the Beatles at the age of 36 and writing a collection of poetry in response? That’s what this author did! Throughout this collection, the author paints vivid imagery of his life and/or emotions in each poem– telling us about his childhood, teenage, and adult experiences. There were times that I was a bit lost in the psychedelic nature of this poetry– maybe I would have understood it a little more if I too were on a different dimension but there many poems that were relatable in the sense of feeling lost in my mind or emotions. Also, the vocabulary is a bit challenging- so keep a dictionary or Google at the ready!

This is a well written story about Petty and RoseLyn. They pull you into their story from the start. They had me coming back for more. They have great growth as well as the plot throughout the story. This is a fast paced romance story that has a touch of suspense. It is a hard to put down story that you don’t want to miss. A must read story and series. I highly recommend this book and this author.

The IntrudersThe Intruders by Brett McKay

The Intruders, originally published on Amazon’s Vella Platform is now an ebook. While I found the author’s notes at the end of each chapter to be distracting as I read; by the third chapter I skipped them, and the pace of the story flowed well. The story that Brett McKay brings to life was thrilling to read.
Dex Sanders is making his way through life as a car salesman, a career he’d like to change. He is a devoted husband and father. His life is turned upside down in the blink of an eye. Dex, his wife and children are abducted in the middle of the night and taken to an unknown place. When he is faced with a life-or-death situation, Dex only wants to keep his wife and children from harm’s way.
When an opportunity to escape is revealed, Dex and his family take refuge in a hotel with the police to protect them; however, can they trust the police, or anyone else?
Without giving away any details of the story, this book is action packed, fast-paced and I enjoyed reading it. I easily connected with the characters and rooted for them to triumph from start to finish.
I would recommend reading this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Borrowed Time is another novel by Lane Cohen. It is a time travel fantasy with some sci-fi elements, drama, historical details, adventure, moral decisions, lots of dialogue, and interesting characters- with a bit of a nod to the 1960’s movie ‘The Time Machine”. If you could go back in time what would you do? Would you change your own history, or try to right some terrible wrongs? That is what these characters have to deal with and gonthrough in this book. They have to adapt to what they are given.  We follow along on as they travel back in time and get a front row seat to all the intriguing development and what they are going through. I think with how things have played out there may be another book or so.

I can never get enough of this wonderful author, or the stories that they create with convincing characters that are real as ones can get! This book had me hooked right from the start and held me through the end!

Love Satan’s Devils with a passion. I must say at first glance, Petty was not someone I was super fond of, or even cared for for that matter. As I read I got to know what made Petty, well, and I must say by the time we reached the conclusion my opinion had shifted. I love how this author can captivate you with characters and do such a strong character development that an opinion you have of one, can completely be different by the end! Loved Rose by the way. She was a great character and brought out Petty’s softer side, especially the ordeals they faced I think those ordeals made Petty allow himself to open his heart, and admit all he had right in front of him and that he was not about to lose that! Freaking great read! Absolutely loved it!

The author absolutely amazes me in every book they release. I was sucked in hard from the start, and I did not want this book to end! Highly recommend this book, series and of course the author! A must read!

This book is a story about how a boy becomes a man in the Jewish tradition. When a boy reaches the age of 13, it is custom that he reads the Torah and prays to his family for the first time, signifying his manhood. Along with his family, Rabbi Menechachen and the Priest are present. Samuel has been taught by the Rabbi from a young age. The Rabbi saw much promise in Samuel from the beginning, to possibly be the Priest’s understudy in the tabernacle some day. After the reading, the Priest selects Samuel for the understudy position and he has to leave right away to begin. Once Samuel leaves home, he will never again go back home to live as he will continue studying and serving in the tabernacle.

Curse of the Elf Lord is the second in the Kingdom of the Elf Lords series by Heidi Vanlandingham. In this installment, focus switches to Hel, Loki’s daughter, and Bernard’s uncle Emilien. Hel had made the difficult decision of staying out of their daughter’s life as her realm was draining Shalendra’s life force and she was in danger of Loki finding out about her. Shalendra grew up with Emilien, believing that he was her brother. Then, entities started to disappear from the afterlife realms and Hel finds out that Shalendra contacted Freyja, saying Emilien was missing. Hel takes the journey to Midgard to calm Shalendra, where she makes the difficult decision to tell her that Emilien is her father, risking Emilien becoming mad at her. Only a strong blood bond, such as father to daughter, can locate him. Doing so may alert Loki to who she is to him. Can Hel find Emilien and who is responsible for the disappearing entities? Can she keep Shalendra safe from her father, Loki? Find out in Curse of the Elf Lord.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. All characters were relatable, and the vivid descriptions allowed the reader to envision the realms. I would not change a single part of it. If you are looking for an enchanting read, don’t miss out on Curse of the Elf Lord.

Ella and Jared’s story is full of action and spicy romance. Snowed-in with their former lover and the current enemy is the best way to get closer but would be enough to feel the attraction of the past or would this be a mistake? Always on each other’s last nerve and full of spit and vinegar, Ella and Jared eventually let their guards down and open up to one another.

Morgan did an amazing job forming a rock star and a girl who just wanted to get away from what she thought were real feelings to I can’t stand him anymore. The best part the author used the storm’s method to bring those emotions back to the character, a truly classic story.

Petty's Crime (Satan's Devils MC Las Vegas #3)Petty’s Crime by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author has done it again. I’m familiar with Petty from little bits of him mentioned in her previous books. It was really quite interesting to get his story in this book. He grew up being taught that a man never hits a woman. When he married that “evil witch” of a wife and ends up being the abused husband, no one expects it. It broke my heart to read all the turmoil that her coming back into his life caused. I would have said, “Hell no.” He seemed to have feelings for RoseLyn and it would have been nice to see him acknowledge them sooner. For him to not really believe her, made it a bummer that she ended up getting kidnapped. Sometimes big drama has to happen to make you realize that you almost lost what you love. As usual, the author does not disappoint with her writing. We get snippets of the other characters in the MC. We have our drama, romance and flat-out butt kicking. One of my favorite MC writers, the book is a must read for MC fans and romantic suspense fans.

Petty was told by his father to protect girls/women, you do not hurt them. This was at the age of 4 and here he is many years later, a security detail to one of the most frustrating women he has ever met. Yet when she sings he is mesmerized. This story, much like the many others I have found myself reading my Manda Mellett, is wonderful. I love the way the author brings out the compassionate, empathetic sides to these supposed rough, tough biker guys. Petty is no exception to this. I loved this book.

This is a new to me author and I really enjoyed his writing style. This story follows 3 different persons. Cat, Annie and Robbie. While at times it was a little slow, the longer you read it the more invested and involved you become. The story line flows back and forth between the 3 major characters in the story and you watch how they grow and evolve together. Seeing how they run the music contest and their own personal battles outside of work was really intriguing.

This is the first book I e read by this author. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into it but it was a good read.

Cat and Annie are organizing a songwriting contest. Thanks to the order of their boss, Robbie is now also working on this contest. Each character tells their perspective of working in the music industry because no two people experience something the same way. So many pressures come up for each character through the story and you see them fight to overcome everything.

This was very well written and I enjoyed it. Glad I gave it a chance!

This book is in the shorter side but definitely enjoyable nonetheless.

Kendall needs a story. While she isn’t fearless, she’ll do whatever it takes to get the story she needs. Then she meets Chad and everything she thought she knew is flipped upside down. Chad is the guy everyone wants. He is an MMA fighter so not only to all the women want him he’s the guy everyone wants to fight. Kendall isn’t the type of woman Chad usually deals with. He doesn’t know how to handle the fact that she doesn’t get all crazy over him like the others do. Chad isn’t your typical fighter and of course he keeps that close to the vest. Imagine how difficult it is agreeing to an interview when you know you are keeping secrets. These two have a lot of chemistry and once Chad gets Kendall to agree to a date, it should be smooth sailing. Will Kendall let down her guard enough to let Chad in or will their date be the start and end for them?

This isn’t your typical MMA story but I really liked that. The chemistry between Kendall and Chad was written very well. You could almost feel it jumping off the page. I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be checking out more by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

 

Musical Murder Mystery Boxed Set #1 contains the first three books in this fun ‘musical’ mystery series by K.L. Montgomery. They’re intriguing cozy mysteries- where each book has its own ‘musical’ theme…. The Sound of Music, West Side Story, and Little Shop of Horrors- which gives each book, and the series as a whole, its own unique feel and identity. But you don’t need to love musicals, or even know anything about them, to appreciate each story…..but, for me, knowing the musical added an extra sense of fun to my overall reading experience.
We have a recurring cast of characters, who are well-developed, fun, and quirky. Ruby is so easy to like and made the stories all the more fun and interesting. Each book contains its own ‘mystery- which Ruby (and Co) investigate and try to solve. As Ruby is part of a traveling theatre performance troupe, the mysteries take place in different places where the troupe is booked to perform.
This series of whodunnit’s comes with plenty of wit, charm, fun, crime and investigation, drama, suspense, some mayhem, antics, banter, danger, intrigue, and much more…. all cleverly choreographed by K.L. Montgomery into a wonderfully engaging reading experience.
The Box Set Contains:
-The Sound of Murder (Book #1)
-West Side Murder (Book #2)
-Little Shop of Murder (Book #3)

Well worth the read!
Happy reading!

Thank you, K.L Montgomery!

This is such a fabulous YA fantasy with plenty of adventure, action, magic, danger, self-discovery, romance, politics, agendas, conflict, a battle for Fae Courts, sacrifice, hope, friendship, tension, intrigue, and high stakes. Oh, and did I mention Fae…. AND a Dragon?!?!?. Um…. If I didn’t already love Ms. Moody’s books, and this series- that element alone would have sealed the deal for me.
The story continues form Book #1, so if you haven’t read Flame & Crystal Thorns yet I highly recommend that you do before starting on this instalment- as knowing what happened previously will definitely enhance your reading experience of this book as a lot has happened- so you’ll find that first book holds a lot of important information you will want to know leading into book #2.
Shadow and Crystal Thorns finishes on somewhat of a cliffhanger, and the adventure is set to continue, so I can’t wait to get my hands on ‘Blade & Crystal Thorns (Book #3)- I am really excited to find that there are at least 2 more books planned to come after that…. Colour me excited to see where we go from here!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Kay L. Moody!

The Warrior (The Freemasons #3)The Warrior by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Warrior is the third book in The Freemasons series by Nicole Flockton. It’s another captivating instalment in this fantastic series which is making it harder and harder to pick my favourite book- as each instalment seems to slightly eclipse the one(s) before. These Freemasons have well and truly won me over. But it’s not just the hunky characters that draw me in- these books have got a strong, meaty story to go along with all the sexy yumminess and enticing steamy developments.
With plenty of action, mystery, drama, intensity, chemistry, danger, tension, and crime + investigation- it kept me hooked right off the bat. I found myself reading avidly- devouring it all in one session, because I really needed to know how everything would play out in the end.
Jude Cadmon is willing to do whatever it takes to find his sister. It has taken a while, but finally, all their efforts seem to have come to fruition and the end is in sight- failure, now, is not an option. Enter Sienna Townsend, the ‘bait’ they need to set the trap that will ultimately bring down the enemy. Jude realises that he isn’t prepared to sacrifice ‘everything’, so is determined to keep Sienna safe in the dangerous process, while also saving his sister. What happens makes for quite an intriguing read.
Happy Reading!

Thank, you, Nicole Flockton!
