Emotional, action packed, fun with a wonderful story line and great characters! I have thoroughly enjoyed this series following Emma and her sleuthing ways. The character growth throughout the series is phenomenal and will leave you wanting more. I really hate to see the end to this series come, but understand final curtains are a necessary step for every author. I wouldn’t read these books out of order as they make a larger impact together. In one word this series was BRILLIANT!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was literally written the best that it could possibly be! I was amazed time and time again with how good the writing was, and how the story flowed ever so nicely as I read A well wroth read!

I have always been an avid history lover, and I do very much enjoy when a author can bring a historical story to life. This story alone, surpassed what I expected. It had the historical element, but throw in suspense and romance, and everything else you can think of as well! Really enjoyed the writing and how the flow went as well! I could not put this book down. I was very mesmerized very much as I read through. There was magic in this book which I loved truly, but this book held its own magic as well. The book was so freaking amazing! I wish I got to devour this book sooner! The power of this book is amazing! Loved it!

Such an amazing, powerful, gripping, and edge of your seat read! I am so happy I got to enjoy this book and author’s clever writing skills! Highly recommend this must read book, seriously you must read this!

This book really did its worth! I could not get enough of this book, the qualities it had, or the magic it had through out my reading. The book was amazing, and when I say amazing, I mean it blew my mind!

The story had a fascinating plan of a journey to take me on, and it certainly did its justice. I loved how the author did the writing, I really felt connected to the characters, and watching them grow into they were at the end. Honestly they made the book for me. There was so much depth to them, they were real as real can get, and the author did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. This was such a great shifter romance honestly I loved it fully with my hearts content. Can not wait to read more by this author!

This author truly has skill when bringing the characters and story to life! I had my expectations met, and passed up fluently! Highly recommend this author and this book. Definitely a must read!

Blood Sector (V-Clan #1)Blood Sector by Lexi C. Foss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in a new series and even though the author has wrote other books about different sectors, this one can be read as a standalone.
Wow what a book. I love paranormal romances anyway but this book is so much more than that. This story is a romance with a murder mystery twist which keeps the reader guessing and wondering who to trust.
The main characters Kieran and Quinn are very deep characters. Both have secrets and even though Quinn won’t admit it they complement each other.
Quinn is a strong Omega woman. She doesn’t want to be tied to an Alpha but when her parents are killed she is left with no choice but to place herself with a Alpha.
So she turns up in Kieran’s sector and practically begs him to marry her, to combine their sector and protect her in the process.
But Quinn doesn’t want to be tied down, she wants to find her parents killer so she leaves.

This leads Kieran on a hunt to find the woman he is destined to be mated with and when they find each other again both Kieran and Quinn realise they have a lot to learn.

Quinn is a very dominant character who doesn’t like submitting to Kieran and Kieran wants Quinn to submit willingly and not by force. Can this pairing work? Will Quinn come around and realise that by submitting to Kieran she won’t have to lose herself? Or will Quinn determined and stubborn character stop them from truelly being the amazing pair they are ment to be?

It grabbed my attention from the first chapter to the last page. The story had well put together characters. It was a fresh read with the female lead not being a new adult with an older man. This was my first read from this author and it made an amazing first impression. I cannot wait to dive into more of her works.

How long can a person outrun their past before it catches up with them again? For Quinnlynn the answer is 100 years. A full century since she ran away on the day meant to be her betrothal day to the alpha Kieran. With her found Kieran will stop at nothing to put a crown on her head and make her his queen. Will she become the prize she was meant to be?

I really enjoyed Rivals, the 7th book in the Mafia Elite series. In this mafia romance, we meet Mia, a prisoner of her own home at the hands of her father and step brother, members of the New York Mafia. Mia escapes with the hopes to take down her family and runs to the only hope she can think of, Nico, part of the Chicago Five Families. They enter into a marriage agreement for protection and we get entangled in their chemistry as they takedown Mia’s family. As also, these books are great and I love all the characters of the Five Families. While I did enjoy the story of Mia and Nico, I felt the chemistry was not as strong after the previous couplings from this series but still a fantastic read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was an action-packed thriller that I could not put down! The main character, Angie, and her friends had hopes of enjoying spring break. Drugged by a bartender and then kidnapped at gunpoint, Angie only has one goal – survival. Angie eventually escapes, but the trauma will remain forever. While spending some time in a mental hospital, she meets great people and together they form a bond with hopes of achieving justice for Angie’s friends. I highly recommend starting this book on a day when you don’t have much to do because you will want to read it from start to finish. The twists and turns just keep you coming back for more!

Blood Sector (V-Clan #1)Blood Sector by Lexi C. Foss
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wonderfully inventive story. This has action, suspense and drama. I thought it flowed along well. The characters are smart, quick thinkers with magical paranormal powers.

My favorite scenes are the commentary between Kiernen and his Elites. They cracked me up! I could clearly see the friendship they have between them and heat it in their back and forth joking or snarkiness. I look forward to their stories.

I enjoy this author’s stories. This one is a bit more magical and lives in the Omegaverse-which honestly confuses me. I usually steer clear of stories that use the omegaverse. I felt this was a bit overlong and there are many repetitive thoughts that could have been cut. I did get tired of the word knot.

Overall I enjoyed the story and the characters immensely.

The Prisoner of Paradise (Painted Souls, #1)The Prisoner of Paradise by Rob Samborn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Okay, then let’s prove it. Prove that it didn’t actually happen-and won’t happen again. That it’s a residual effect from the hit or when I fell. Or maybe it was a tourist. Some woman who could throw their voice.” This is one of my favorite lines in the story. Nick and Julie are in Venice on a vacation. One of the museums they check out has the painting called “paradise” and Nick swears he hears a woman’s voice coming from the painting talking to him in his head. This starts the best thriller/suspense I’ve read since The Davinci Code by Dan Brown came out. I was engaged and involved in the book right from the beginning. The story goes back and forth from 1592 to current times in Venice, Italy. With a wide cast of characters, there is something for every reader to relate to. The adventure can be intense with some twist and turns thrown in. If you love thriller/suspense, you should check this out. I will be eagerly awaiting book 2 of this series. Well done!

Blood Sector (V-Clan #1)Blood Sector by Lexi C. Foss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As the princess set to inherit the kingdom after her parents deaths, Quinn sets off on a mission to find out who murdered them. Not wanting to leave her kingdom without a leader, she betroths herself to Kieran. For the whole time she is gone, Kieran searches for her. He is not too happy when he finds her because he searched for over a hundred years. Quinn is not quite sure she can trust him so she is less than truthful with him. Together, they must figure each other out and where their relationship stands all the while trying to figure out what happened to her parents.
Opinion
While I like shifter books, they are not one of my main reads. This book could absolutely change that. The amount of tension between Kieran and Quinn had this reader excited to go on to the next chapter (and the next, and the next…) The story line was interesting to me and completely new that I doubt I’ve seen any part of the plot before. Considering how much I read, that is a great nod to the author that I haven’t read anything like it.
This book is part of a series but it is a stand alone. Having not read any other books in the series, I was able to follow the plot with no problems. The author does use some terms for specific shifter actions that are new definitions of the words. It was easy, however, to follow what she meant. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes paranormal or more specifically shifter books.

Notebook Mysteries ~Unexpected Outcomes is the fourth book in the Notebook Mysteries series. This is wonderfully written story that I had a hard time putting down. I highly recommend reading the previous books in this series if you haven’t already as they give a better understanding of what is going on and you get to know the characters better. Plus they are all definitely worth the read. This one just might be my favorite yet. This is a story about Emma and Jeremy and these two solve Mysteries . But what will happen when they realize there cases might not be what they seem to be? They start to re-evaluate their own lives. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

Action, danger, drama, love and intrigue – what more could you want in a good book? This book was so well written. The characters were brought to life so well within the book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blood Sector is a dark shifter romance. This is a paranormal Omegaverse romance series. Lexi is one of my favourite paranormal authors. She weaves her stories so well you literally feel like you are part of that world. Her stories just keep on getting better with each book.

This is one hell of a story as you are on the edge of your seat the entire time. This story is action packed and has lots of twist you don’t see coming. You will find yourself completely immersed in the story and each and every character, ok maybe not all of them.

Quinn is an unmated Omega Wolf. She is also the ultimate prize in the deadly game of being the one claimed by blood thirsty war. On the run and trying to stay hidden but her time is just about up.

Shake Down (First Coast Thriller Series)Shake Down by Armand Rosamilia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Shake Down. There was humor, suspense, and even a few unexpected surprises. One of my favorite things about this book was the down south feel. Not only were several cities and landmarks from Florida and Georgia mentioned, but also the lingo and characterization lends itself to the southern charm that just makes this story all the more entertaining. So often stories are written using popular locations like New York and California, so it’s nice to have a story with a more modest cityscape.
While I was reading, I was so engrossed in the book I didn’t even realize it had come to an end. Clayton’s story is one I hope continues on in the next book, Throw Down, so I can continue to follow his journey of fighting crime while getting his life back on track.

Lisette was such a fierce and out of the box type FMC. A true anti-hero, and the first female one for me. The death of her father left her in a bad way due to the magic he possessed never being passed down to her. She was determine to make her way no matter the cost, and she was prepared to do even the unthinkable. You will question her character, but be her biggest fan all the same. This is a story you will not want to miss.

Emma and Jeremy are such a sweet couple (I hope we get to see their wedding in a future book). When Jeremy’s mother comes to town Emma isn’t sure of her true intentions, but eventually realizes she may be being unfair. Emma just seems to have a natural talent for knowing when to push a little further and follow her gut to find the truth. Mote mysteries solved, more family connections made, and more Emma and her adventures. With every new book in the series, I believe I am becoming addicted.

Ashes of Sin and Stardust (AnchorX) by Lindsay Murray

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Ashes of Sin and Stardust is the first book in the AnchorX Series. This book isn’t recommended for anyone under 18! Read the author’s note if you want to know what you’re reading.

Ruben is the master of all things kink. He has visions of the girl that is his. The only problem is once he meets her then he decides not to do it. Can he break down her walls? The quote I chose for Ruben is: “Let’s get this done quickly. I wasn’t expecting to have to come in this early, and I’m missing a phone call to be here, but we try to be accommodating to other people’s time here at Mountain Valley Baptist Church. Can you four please give me a rundown of what you need in order to make this happen?”

Alice is a loudmouth who talks when nervous. She also likes getting on Ruben’s nerves when he’s around. She gets really bad bouts of depression. The quote I chose for Alice is: “I will take everything you know and love. I will be ruthless. I will put you in the ground. There won’t be anything left by the time I’m done. Only ashes. Ashes of your dignity and your honor. You will bow to me, you will praise my name, and you will burn that game as a sacrifice to the board game gods because you will never want to suffer that kind of slaughter ever again… And the worst part is? You’ll like it.”

Highly recommended for Erotica Romance lovers.

This was a great debut cozy mystery. We get to meet Elizabeth Candew, a recently divorced mom of two who is struggling to figure out who she is after the divorce and make ends meet without having a job. She is invited to a Lady Lily Wear party by her neighbor where she makes the decision to buy into the “business” and become her own boss. Unfortunately her mentor is murdered before she can teach her how to sell $3,000 worth of clothing. Elizabeth finds herself trying to juggle solving the murder, raising her 2 children, dealing with the fallout from her affair and the resulting baby, her son’s struggles at school, her ex-husband’s lack of support, rudeness from her ex sister-in-law, and the detective who is working the case, who turns out to be the guy she loved and lost in high school. I appreciated that the author gave us a very realistic character that was flawed and had to work hard for any improvements in her life and herself. The story definitely had its ups and downs, but if you are looking for a fun mystery with a down to earth heroine, this is a great story!

This was a great 5 star read. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down.
Reuben is missing having a sub but he keeps having visions of a certain woman that he knows is meant to be his. When fate steps in and he finally meets her and things get very interesting.

Alice has had a tough life growing up, especially with men. She is also dealing with some heavy guilt. When she meets Reuben he is determined to be with her. These two, my goodness. Alice knew just how to tempt the beast in Reuben and boy did he ever come out. It was great watching these two get to know each other better and build something great between them.
My emotions were all over the place while I was reading. The author does a great job with her writing, she touches on some important sensitive topics. I will warn that there are triggers and we get some very steamy moments. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.
