The Intruders is a fast-paced supernatural thriller and my first read of Casey’s work. Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly intrigued. This is one book that you just can’t put down because you have to know what comes next and so on. To say I was engrossed in the story is an understatement.
Casey has cleverly woven plot is full of suspense and the intensity of the story is palpable. Jumping off the pages to have you on the edge of your seat and looking in those dark corners to see if anything is waiting in the dark.
I am not going to give anything away but suffice it to say this is one book you do not want to miss out on. With danger and violence, supernatural happenings and action this has something for anyone who loves this genre.
Shadow and Crystal Thorns is the second book in the Fae and Crystal Thorns series. It is a YA Fae fantasy tale. The first book Flame and Crystal Thorns ended on a cliff-hanger and I was excited to see what was going to happen. Luckily it continues right where the first book ends which means the books should be read in order.
Kay’s writing is rich in details making it easy to imagine. This is a world with fae, magic and dragons. Who doesn’t love dragons? A magical world where there are those whom are mortal are out to destroy them.
It is a quick paced read with lots of suspense, action and danger.
The romance between Chloe and Quintus continues and she is just as torn between staying or going but things maybe different than she thought. Can her team finally sort the problems with the Mortals?
Nooooooooo! It also ends in a cliff-hanger. I hate them!

Yesterday’s Over is the third book in the Philly Heat series. It is a romantic thriller with a few twists and turns. With secrets and lies, bombings and murder, danger and uncertainties just to name a few, there is something for everyone to keep the pages turning.
The complex characters are full of flaws and all and you will fall in love with them. This is Trudy and Ben story where the chemistry between them is undeniable. With romance, drama, and suspense what more do you need. I really enjoy a story when it is told in dual POV and this one was.
To unravel the mystery, they must work together but what happens when professional and private lives become blurred? Who is out to get them and who wants to keep them from unveiling the truth?
I wonder what is next on the agenda for the Philly Heat series?

In the second book of this series, the Fae and mortals are in battle with one another. Chloe is in the Faerie realm to help win against the mortals. Chloe meets Quintus and is not so sure she wants to leave. Chloe has to use her magic to try to win this battle to protect the lands. The author has done a great job developing these characters and this world. Looking forward to the next book!!

I enjoyed reading this young adult fantasy story. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading before this one. It will help you enhance this series and show you where the characters have been before this point. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading. Her books are always entertaining and easy to read. This is no different. It is a well written story about a battle between fae and mortals for the same land. Who will win is up to you to read this book and find out. This is a fast paced, engaging story that had me coming back for more. The characters are connectable and just made the story for me. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

Although this is the 4th book in the True Platinum Series, this is the first one I have read. It totally worked as a standalone. Jared and Ella are so different. Their constant fighting on the tour is noticed by everyone. So when the two of them get snowed in together no one is sure if either will come out alive. Can they survive each other? Will they get to the true bottom of their problems? I just loved this story. It was very raw and open. I could not put it down.

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the previous books in this series, I was looking forward to reading this latest story, and I was not disappointed. Assistant Chief Medical Examiner Trudy Beasley is asked to investigate when bones are discovered in the rubble following a massive explosion that rocked Philadelphia. Trudy is used to being able to provide answers and closure to victims families, but the mystery surrounding the skeletal remains is something she’s never seen before. Her instincts are telling her that whoever was responsible for the deaths may still be loose in the city, and she is determined to get answers. However, Forensic anthropologist Benjamin Roberts disagrees, and just sees the remains as an academic challenge, and not a legal one. The more time the couple spend together as the investigation progresses, Trudy and Ben’s professional relationship also becomes more of a personal one. As their relationship develops, the pair are in danger, as someone wants the secrets that were buried along with the bones to stay a secret, and is willing to kill again. This was an enjoyable and exciting read, with great characters and a storyline that kept me hooked from start to finish. The characters are so likeable and relatable, that I felt engaged with them, and the chemistry between Trudy and Ben really came across in the narrative. An entertaining romantic suspense novel, which I definitely recommend.

An enjoyable and engaging romantic suspense which had me hooked from page one. When Philadelphia police officer Kylee Parker chases a drug dealer, she did not expect to know him as the bad boy who she had a teenage crush on. Kylee is a dedicated officer used to protecting and serving, and seeing things as either right or wrong, black or white, and either good guys or bad guys. The even more dangerous and attractive Jayson Donovan, who is the right hand man to a local drug-pushing mobster, is definitely a bad guy, however, Kylee can’t deny the attraction that is still there. Jayson knows he is not good enough for Kylee and that he should stay away from her, but he just can’t, not having discovered the chemistry between them. It’s not long before Jayson’s secrets threaten them both. This was an exciting read, with great characters, who’s chemistry sizzled off the page, and a storyline that kept me gripped throughout.

This is a fantastic continuation of an exciting YA story. I would recommend reading this series in order as book 2 picks up from where book one left off. I was instantly pulled back into this story and the characters. It was as though I had move from one book straight into the next. This book is even better than the first one. I enjoyed the fact that you could see clear development through the stories, it felt like we were getting to know the characters even more. This book adds so much to the series as a whole and I am looking forward to whatever is next.

This is a wonderfully creative story and a great discovery of an author that is new to me. I was pulled straight into this book with such imaginative word-building and character development. It had me hooked before I was at the end of the first chapter. I was intrigued but the world the author had designed and wanted to know more about it. I loved the characters as well. There were some strong personalities and I loved the depth they added to the story. You could clearly see development throughout the book and it made me want to read more. I am excited to have discovered a new series and a new author.

I really liked the forensic anthropology angle of this. Trudy and Bend were great characters (Ben having a cat was an added bonus for me.) I liked the plot and would like to know some of the supporting characters a little more. I liked the feel of this book best of the ones that I read. I would definitely read more by this author.

I live for anything to do with horror, but this one greatly surpassed what I had hoped for. Spiders, a creepy allure, stunning writing, holy cow, I fell in love so easily with this book and author! Perfect October read!
Now, I do love a good horror read, but this one certainly fueled some of my worst fears…spiders. Needless to say this was a book well wroth a read. It was a must read. The book horrified me at scenes, and intrigued me to wanting more at the same time I enjoyed the story and the plot. If you love horror, then no longer look no further, because you have found your match! I loved the book being told from Missy’s perspective. A child’s mind is unlike an adult, so when Fred comes to show what he is really all about, the feelings Missy felt and her fear, was greatly valid. I loved the horror and creepiness this book gave off. I loved her supportive dad as well. The spiders, the scary stuff, the deaths, the writing was exceptional! Amazing read! I truly loved it!
A perfect horrific read with all the elements you would hope in a book that would rattle your bones, your mind, and make you want to check behind you as you read Highly recommend this must read book!
I LOVED this story! It is vastly entertaining! I enjoyed the fast pace and the lovely characters! It all just blended together perfectly to make a sweetly charming story. There are many humorous moments that made me laugh out loud.
The characters are well done and yet flawed at the same time. I was excited to get to know them! They really are likable and/or lovable and I enjoyed them immensely. The interactions between the two main personalities is one of my favorite things about this story. Watching them get together is the sweetest. Secondary characters are just as delightful. I liked that there were a limited number of characters that I could learn about and love. Too many and it is easy to get lost but this book isn’t like that at all.
I could write more and more about what I loved about this book. My best suggestion is just to get it and enjoy it yourself. I could not have asked for a better story from a new to me author than between the Viking and the Battle Pixie. Get it! You wont be sorry!

I had loved the prior book in the series, and this one certainly does not disappoint in any way! I loved the story continued perfectly from where we left off on in the series. Needless to say, I was hooked!
Again, the author amazed and intrigued me as I read this installment in the series. I really enjoyed Chloe again in this book, she really has come a long way. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of when we had the battles of fae against humans It was vivid, written with intelligence, and visually stunning to picture. The book had a lot of suspense and action, I was gripped all the way through. I enjoyed Quintus already, and I enjoyed him even more now! The book was a book worth waiting to read, absolutely loved it!
Greatly written with strong anticipation as well as exctiment. I could not put it down. Was impossible not to love and see how this book would turn out. A must read for sure. Without a doubt, I highly recommend!

I have enjoyed other books by this author, but this one certainly has taken the cake in my opinion! I loved the story line, the characters, and the romantic suspense that came with it!
The concept was thrilling as well as gripping. The characters were indulging as well as showing great character development, as well as how deeply with details the author had written them. Trudy and Ben were great lead characters, and enjoyed the other characters as well. The story was really intriguing. I am a girl who loves talking bones, so of course there was strong appeal for me haha. The story flowed nicely an was easy to follow. Enjoyed the suspense, and twists that the author gave us. Great read. Loved it!
This book is a must read for me, and I wish I could read it again for the first time! I was hooked and at the edge of my seat till the end! Highly recommend this author, book as well as series! For sure a must read!

This was my first time reading any of this author’s work and I’m sure it won’t be the last as I really enjoyed reading Defying Ella. Although this is the 4th book in a series, it can be read as a standalone. I hadn’t read any of the previous books in the series and didn’t feel that the author had left any gaps. All necessary information needed to enjoy and understand this story is given. In this book we get the story of drummer Jared and Ella who is the sister of another band member’s girlfriend. Jared comes across as a bit of an ass at the beginning but as his story unravels you find a very complex, tortured soul who just needs that special person to make him see who he truly is. I absolutely loved reading Jared’s story, although I admit I really wanted to slap him a few times. He really meets his match in Ella. And when they are snowed in together she realises that he has issues and is there to help him cope through the dark times. I loved Jared and Ella’s story. It’s angsty and hot all rolled into one. I was hooked from the very beginning and loved the journey right up to the very end. I definitely recommend this book.

Another new author for me, I was not sure what to expect from this book. What I found is a really delightful story told from the perspective of three different individuals. It has drama, romance, and family meddling. Once I got a couple of chapters into the story I was laughing so hard I was crying. It did take me a little to get into the story but once I did I could not put it down. The author did an excellent job making the readers feel as though they were right in the middle of this story. I was also fascinated with the inner workings of a radio station. It made me appreciate what they do because I thought it would be a much easier job. I recommend this story for any readers that enjoy rom coms.

Bond – Review by Cindy Mayberry
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. More Text Than Sex is a fantastic read. I didn’t want it to end and I sure as heck didn’t want to put it down. The author knows how to wow the readers.
Annie used to be a musician and now she markets. She loves what she does. Her friend on the other hand doesn’t like what they are about to do. Annie knows that in order to pull this off they need the other person. The quote I chose for Annie is: “We got the contest greenlit. We got twenty percent more budget than we asked for. And we’re getting a doco produced. We’ve had a good day. Best day we’ve had here since we got little Sophie’s song on Neighbours.”
Robbie wants to work with Annie and Cat. He knows the latter doesn’t like him, but this is the best he can do. He wants to produce Annie and get her back to singing. The quote I chose for Robbie is: “I love good music and I love your idea. When Delaney asked for a one-pager on why we shouldn’t do it, I wrote a ten-page plan to show him why Merger had to do it.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Yesterday’s Over: Philly Heat Series #3 by Becky Flade
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Yesterday’s Over is the third book in the Philly Heat Series. The book had me hanging by a thread. The book contains two of my favorite things. Crime and medical people.
Trudy is the corner for the police department. When a building blew up they found bones. She has to call in for help and there she finds Ben. She finds herself in some trouble as they figure out what happened to the people. The quote I chose for Trudy is: “Thank you. Bistro Romano was a good choice. They’ve an excellent wine cellar. That painting? It’s local artist S.S. Welling; an amazing talent. She paints watercolor still lifes so vibrantly they look like photos. I have a smaller, less expensive print in my loft. It was the first thing I ever bought myself that wasn’t second hand and cost slightly less than my car.”
Ben is a professor and loves what he does. When he gets the call about the police finding bones he jumps on it. He finds that Trudy, the medical examiner, is hard to keep off his mind. He wants to see if they have more in common. The quote I chose for Ben is: “I’ve watched you perform autopsies, teach interns, and work with me while juggling administrative issues with aplomb and grace. I’d assumed you were already the Chief Medical Examiner.”

Rafe is the main male character and is so strong while being so gentle. He is so gentle with the character named Ellie. He was the type of boyfriend you want for yourself but able to dream about but can only read. He knew what to say, he was so on love with Ellie he didn’t know what to do with himself. He would do anything for her to keep her safe and just so she could have. He let her be Ellie and let her be herself which she desperately needed. Rafe needed someone to tell him he deserved to be loved. He was so hard on himself and he needed someone to support him. Rafe was real hard on himself and he needed someone to tell him he was worth it. Ellis was a wonderful character, she was strong and tender all in one. The whole time reading I thought I thought I knew what was going to happen but I really didn’t. I like those type of books. I would have liked the climax of it all to have lasted a little longer but it didn’t take anything away from the magic of the book or these two characters. Friends to lovers is a very good thing in my book I like those type of books. And ‘Into the Light’ has that and a lot of it. It was a truly beautiful story that kept me turning the page to find out what was going to happen at the end. This is definitely going to be one on my list that will be read over and over again. In fact, I think the whole series is one that I will read again and again. Kate’s writing style is one that pulls you in and keeps you in. Kate also writes romance and relationships with a beautiful flair that has me smiling so many times throughout each of her books. She’s an exceptional author. I absolutely loved reading this book.

Fall to Pieces (Philly Heat Series #2) by Becky Glade
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Fall to Pieces is the second book in the Philly Heat Series. We get to see the characters from book one. This book was very entertaining.
Lexi has lost her husband and now people think she’s getting special treatment. Some want her out of the department. She fights to stay and finds herself falling for her new partner. Can she take the hits as they come? The quote I chose for Lexi is:“I’d rather feel boxed in than watched.”
Xavier is new to the team and is under strict instructions to find anything on Lexi. When he finds that she’s passionate about her job things change. He wants her to be the best. The quote I chose for Xavier is: “Xavier Knight. I’d like to say it’s a pleasure, but under these circumstances, that feels inappropriate.”

I love the way Lois Wickstrom weaves science and life lessons together. In the story “Just One More Egg” we not only get the science-y reasons behind the benefits (and the disadvantages) of having a cuckoo’s egg in your nest, but we also learn the life lesson of helping others even when those around us don’t understand and try to talk us out of it. I love the illustrations and the simplicity of the book. Great story!

Book 2 in the series does an incredible job at picking up in the series where we left off. Chloe, Quintus, Mishti, Elora, and Brannick are fighting the war against the mortals. They are still trying to save the Fae from iron poisoning. This story is full of action, lots of fantasy, drama, suspense, and a little romance. There are a few subplots going on. The author ties them all in so well that it all still runs so smooth. That ending! Cliffhanger, didn’t see that coming…I can’t wait for the next book. This is definitely one of the best YA fantasy series I’ve read.

Moody – Review by Shelly Kittell
I love this series. Trudy and Ben came together when a set of skeletal remains were found after a large explosion. This story has a way of pulling you in and you are totally engaged in the story. There is romance, drama, suspense and mystery. The story runs flawlessly through the book. There are some twists. These bring things back together smooth. The characters were well-developed and easy to relate to. I’ts been a real treat to read this series. This author writes in a way that makes you feel like you are there in the middle of the story with them.
