Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack Book 1) by Nicole Howl – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack, #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a great read….and so happy I picked up this book. If you love a paranormal story with action, shifters and wolves definitely read this book.

I was intrigued by the concept of how the wolves were dominate and humans were used as “slaves”. Lily, who is a human, is a slave to the Wolf Hollow and truly is just getting by day to day. The king’s son, Jason, is the future King of Wolf Hollow. When Jason learns whom he is truly to be mated with, the King does not approve, especially since it is Lily. Jason is truly a protector and would do anything to keep Lily safe, even though at first she wants to keep her head down and not cause trouble. Will Jason and Lily’s fate keep them together?

I loved this story and I loved Lily’s character, even at times parts were heartbreaking but how strong she tried to be. I am so looking forward to the 2nd book as I cannot wait to find out what happens next!

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack, #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stolen from her home, Lily is a human servant of the royal family in Wolf Hollow. Jason, a werewolf, is the prince and heir. After a horrible incident Lily ends up in the royal hospital and the same time as the prince. Jason’s wolf is positive that Lily is its mate just by her scent. The two will face multiple obstacles if they want to be together. But the question is will they be willing to fight to be together?

This is the first book I have read by Ms. Howl. Overall, I enjoyed the book. There were a few of the major background facts that I wish would have been given more of a back story not that it detracts from the story I just thought it would add to it. I loved the story and I would recommend it; however, if you are like be and hate when a story it broken down into multiple pieces be warned. Even know that now that I have read the first part I cant wait for the second part to come out.

The-Know-It-All-Pencil (Invisible Magic Wand Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review By Elizabeth Rose

The Know-It-All Pencil (Invisible Magic Wand)The Know-It-All Pencil by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s Caspian’s Unbirthday and he can’t wait to see what surprise Grandpa got him this year! When he opens the box he finds a yellow pencil and a small pad of green paper but it’s not just any pencil, it’s a Know-It-All pencil! Caspian sets out on a “star adventure” on his way to school.

This is a cute children’s book that involves make believe, doing good deeds, helping others out and trading for things others want/need. There is a lot of diversity among the characters, which I think is really important in a children’s book. The illustrations are very colorful and super cute. I would recommend this book for kiddos age pre-K thru 3rd grade.

The Last Cabin Girl (Detective Josie Thompson Series) by Tom Swyers – Review by Vanessa Watts

The Last Cabin GirlThe Last Cabin Girl by Tom Swyers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is an undeniable thrill to read, so much so that 5 stars just doesn’t seem to do it justice! This one kept me guessing until the very end with so many twists and turns that it might make you dizzy. The plot is amazing and the author seamlessly combined the growing Covid19 pandemic that happened in 2020 into this gripping thrill ride. That kind of takes me back to dealing with the pandemic, shortages, and fear that was ever present!

Josie who is dealing with a terrible not quite ex husband named Eddie, her past discovery of a pink body, and growing concerns of a rising pandemic that everyone in the US is downplaying. As if that’s not enough she discovers a body floating in the river near her cabin, and she becomes a prime murder suspect. After multiple victims surface, Josie is arrested for the murders and is released on bond secured by her cabin and help from a wealthy bachelor who seems taken with Josie. Unfortunately for Josie things just aren’t adding up and she knows if she can find Eddie she’ll be free from murder charges and be rid of her ex. Only the more she finds the more secrets are unraveled. It seems everybody she meets is keeping some sort of secret from her. Can Josie come out on the other side after all these secrets are uncovered? Or is the past doomed to repeat itself and more bodies pile up?

Overall, I did not see where the author was going with this story until close to the very end. The range of emotions you go through while reading this book are immense. Some characters you start out loving only to hate them later on and vice versa. This is a dynamic book that I will recommend to all avid readers that enjoy thrillers. It makes you want to keep coming back until the story is finished and all the secrets are unraveled. Secrets are a terrible thing to keep and sometimes an even terrible thing to overcome!

The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla) by S.B. Alexander – Review by Tia Martel

The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla, #1)The Hunted by S.B. Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sam Mason is terrifying, sexy, and powerful. As a Navy SEAL he’s trained to do some serious damage, but as a VAMPIRE Navy SEAL, he’s downright lethal.

Everything about Sam Mason puts Layla on edge. Before they met she was determined to capture him and turn him over to her employer, now she’s doing everything she can to keep her distance and keep him out of her head and her bed.

When the job goes sideways and Layla’s sisters are in danger, she has to turn to Sam and the SEALs for help. She’s trying so hard to trust the enemy and save her family, but can she save herself?

The Hunted is a spin-off series with some HEAT! Layla and Sam have some serious chemistry and the fact that there’s so much tension really helps bring in the burn.

There are some areas that could use some detail work and some spots I felt a little lost, but I imagine if I had read the original series I’d be a lot more in the loop. It’s definitely not needed to learn about Sam and Layla, but it could be useful for some other characters.

It’s a fun, light-hearted romantic suspense for the enemies to lovers and paranormal trope fans. I’d recommend it for anyone who loves a quick read and a slow burn. I’m excited to check out the previous series and also to see what is next.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and personally I can’t wait for more. While this is the first half of the story, I was so enveloped that I can’t wait for the second half of the story. But being my first book by this author I had no idea what to expect, but she definitely blew me out of the water, with her wonderful story, and beautiful cover. This was also a very short story being under 200 pages ma, it definitely made for an easy, short, and fast read. So if your looking for something to get your out of that slump or just a quick weekend read make sure you pick this one up today.

Until There Was You by G. Colgrove – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Until there was youUntil there was you by G. Colgrove
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel had it all… sex, secrets, broken hearts, tears, laughter and a great big HEA! I will say it was a bit on the trashy side as every other page some was grabbing someone’s … (this is why I gave it four stars, because while I like a little heat to my novels there is such a thing as too much) … well anyway the overall story was great and I enjoyed that it was a quick and easy read. I loved the side characters as well as the stars of this story Regan “Southie” Doyle and Jeremy Stone. This story felt like a story more about forgiving yourself and opening up to love.
Trigger warning: There is some
Moderate drug/alcohol use as well as a family member death because of it.

He revels in his job, savoring every moment of the sweet experience, a job he finds quite easy to do. Until he meets Clara, an Empath with unique gifts of her own, who thwarts his every advance. Still he persists, needing her to give into him, and wondering why this beguiling woman affects him so.

I am addicted! This book took me on such a wild ride!!! Twisted, Sexy, and Unique!!! It delivers everything it promises with twists and turns that had my jaw on the floor! Perfectly paced for the maximum amount of sensual tension between the characters! The civil war and hierarchy of Hell was really engaging and I can’t wait to find out what happens next! I am definitely going to be reading the other book in this series! A must read for paranormal romance lovers!!

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this book was, the character development alone was amazing. However this is not your normal fantasy romance, to say that this one takes steamy to a whole new level is an understatement. The author really weaves a beautiful web of characters, scenery, and plot. The characters are so well developed and depicted that you’ll feel like there standing right in front of you. So if your looking for a great new steamy romance or even a fantasy romance, then make sure you pick this one up today.

Finding Melodie and The Wedding Special Boxset by Laura Rossi – Review by Shelly Kittell

Melodie Boxset (Melodie #1-2)Melodie Boxset by Laura Rossi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The sound of sweet love music in the park. Melodie is street musician and Isaac comes to listen to her every day in the park during his lunch. Over a spoiled proposal, Melodie offers to help him win his girlfriend back. Cue up the wild adventures. Isaac sees that Melodie opens his life up. There is no going back to the way his life was. Melodie is the woman for him. They have adventures galore. This story is full of humor, a little sadness, lots of happiness, family that causes some hiccups and some other miscellaneous issues that pop up. There are so many little favorite parts for me in this set. I loved the whole story. Victoria, the hussy dog, cracked me up. No surpise what happened there. LOL. With a mom like Cynthia, they all rebel. But in the end, love and forgiveness redeems, that’s what makes this authors books so wonderful. She also writes very engaging stories. Once I started this one, I just couldn’t put this one down. I had to finish it, because I wanted to know what was going to happen. I would definitely give this more than a 5 if I could. I highly recommend one-click this one.

I love a good vampire story, and this one did not disappoint. I was intrigued from the start at the things that set Sam apart. The trio of human women were also unexpected. With every page, the author took you deeper and deeper into the mysteries surrounding the characters, and there was a fair bit of tension along the way! Layla was snarky and I loved her take no crap attitude. The close relationship and love between her and her sisters was also great to see. A slow burn forbidden romance, war at your doorstep, and vampires. This book really had it all. I’m intrigued and excited to see where the author takes it from here.

I love a good Angel and Demon story! The eternal struggle of good vs evil with romance and resistance attached intrigues me even more. Clara and Zee were great characters and each proved great strength as well as growth the more the story progressed.
Beezlebub definitely gave me gluttonous vibes because I wanted more of him and his tempting ways.. The more you get to know Zee the more you see that he is not just an average demon. Both he and Clara have undeniable chemistry despite the differences and a heated connection neither can deny. Together they tell a story of saving souls, a war of good vs evils, and that anything is possible when you put together one of the Seven Princes of Hell and an empathetic Baker.

Lily has been captured and is a slave within the castle of Wolf Hollow. Her life for the past year has not been pleasant and suddenly turns for the worse when she’s noticed by a few wolves, the Prince himself included. She lives through a harrowing experience to find out that she’s the Prince’s mate. Jason is the next in line for the throne and is currently living under his father’s thumb biding his time until he can take over. A chance encounter allows him to find his mate but she’s one of the human slaves. Can these two overcome circumstances to have their happily ever after?

The story was good but I found that it had a few issues. The story felt rushed to me. There were a lot of sub plots which I’m sure we’re set ups for the rest of the series . To me they were more interesting than the plot of this book. I loved Jason and Dean. The characters interacted well and I enjoyed their banter. I had a hard time connecting to Lily though. One minute she’s weak and lacking confidence, the next she’s strong and snarky. She kept flipping back and forth between the two as if the author couldn’t decide how she wanted this character to be. I think Lily has a lot of potential as well as the story so I will be reading the next book in the series.

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack, #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great paranormal romance. There is twists and excitement from start to finish. It leaves you wanting more of their story. A quick read but I cannot wait to pick up the next book to find out what happens next.

The story is around two main characters. Lily a captured human servant and Jason the future Alpha and King of Wolf Hollow. I enjoyed that Lily was not the weak female throughout and only continued to define her true strong-self as the story progressed. Equally Jason is not the over the edge intense insufferable werewolf, but still very much the assertive mate when the time arrives. Humans live in fear of the Shifters and do their best to avoid drawing attention on themselves. When Lily manages to gain more notice than she ever wanted after the Royals return home things in the house start to teeter on a dangerous shift in balance. Are their differences too much for Wolf Hollow? Will they get to find a happy ending?

A small trigger warning that the concept of rape is there, but not in graphic detail of said event.
