My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was absolutely incredible. Urban fantasy is my favorite genre, so I am pickier with these books. I loved it from the beginning! A spider shifter — wait, what?!?!?! I have never read about one before and was instantly intrigued. The author did not disappoint. Not only is Aranha a unique and original creature, she is endearing also. She has a heart of gold, does what she thinks is right and will do anything to protect the innocent and those she cares about. But she’s not perfect, she has her own struggles too. The other characters in the book are also well done and make this world even more complete.

Then there is the story. This is also very unique and different. The author did not use a cookie cutter base and make changes . She went out of her way to create something new a different — and blew the others out of the water in the process. The tale she weaves is so magical and gripping. I could not put it down and urge the author to give us more set in this fantastic world.

If you are a fan of urban fantasy with string female lead characters, great supporting characters, and a story of action and heart, this book is for you.

Oh my lanta this book! I don’t know how this author did it! They just wrote characters and made them realistic, and grow exponentially, and just did such an amazing job with the way they wrote their personalities. I always notice characters, because if I don’t like the characters or see true personalities I get bored. That was most definitely not a problem I had with this story! The suspense and relationship building between Theo and Sofia were top notch and 10/10 I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

If you love second chance romance books do not hesitate to read this one! I absolutely loved Brynn and Levi’s story. Based on how the book began I truly thought it was headed in a completely different direction than it went. Brynn and Levi fell in love as young teenagers, she from money, he from the wrong side of the tracks. After things and people conspired to keep them apart for a decade they miraculously find their way back to one another, of course not without a few bumps in the road getting there. Do yourself the favor and read this one!

This paranormal read was just simply amazing, the writing was out of this world and I just simply couldn’t put it down. The depths that the author goes to describe our characters were amazing, her plot was fantastic, and her word play was brilliant. Full of paranormal characters, excitement, suspense and more our author really knows how to draw her readers in and keep them on the edge of their seats. One thing that I really loved about this story is that it was told from a duel POV, which made it unique in its in oh way. But what happens when two paths cross to save one human girl? Well you’ll have to read this story to find out for yourself.

A fast paced romantic drama that leaves very little to the imagination. While I think the author had a great idea for a plot there are a few plot holes and it feels like some of the characters didn’t get as fully fleshed out as they should have. That said it’s not a bad story.
I love the way Sofia/Tia’s character plays off the plot and off Theo. Domestic violence never ends well but Sofia has gone into hiding to protect herself. When she meets Theo sparks fly. When she starts receiving frightening text messages Theo pulls out all the stops to keep her safe.
Overall a good read! I am excited to see where this author takes us for book 2.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I waited for this book to be available after being hooked to the first two in the series and it delivers!

The author continues to utilize descriptive imagery and provides a depth to his characters that is nearly unmatched by other authors! Though it is a complex MultiVerse, he brings it to life and connects the story so well it’s easy to keep track of the events, worlds, and universes within the storyline. This final chapter was action-packed and so satisfying with every last detail recorded.

In this installment of the series, everything has culminated into a camaraderie of good throughout the MultiVerse battling evil to save many universes from total destruction and allow their ways of life to continue.

I’m so excited to see what this author will do next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aranha is the last of an extinct species – the webmakers. Raised without a community, she got used to life on the run with her single mother, keeping to the shadows and staying out of trouble. When her mother died, she kept up the practice, and has a very solitary life. Now, she hunts serial killers to cut them down for food. When she meets Dag at a seedy bar, she is shocked to learn that he is also a species nearing extinction – and gives off pheromones for days. The unlikely duo end up on a mission together that will pit them against vampires and werewolves – two species that can kill them with their venom. In the process, they gain some answers about their ancestors and the future of their species.

I enjoyed the plot of the novel, and liked femme fatale Aranha. Her attraction to Dag is scorching. I found myself struggling to keep engaged in some parts, but I’m glad I stuck with it in the end.

Yes Yes Yes!!! This book is just totally fabulous! I was already intrigued by the cover and the story just takes off. The story is paranormal fantasy romance but can I just say I loved having something new of Webmakers? The story really pulls you in……Aranha is a shifter and I really loved her character. She is more like a hero in a sense, preys on bad people who do bad things. She meets Dag, and loved that he is a DayWalker and he is immediately drawn to Aranha. Dag feels like Aranha can help him find out what the vampires are up to…as the feeling is they are up to something not good.

This story is quite amazing and I truly loved it. The characters had me totally drawn to them and the story for me flowed. Totally worth the read!!

Aranha is the last of her kind, a Webmaker, which is basically a spider shifter. She hides in the darkness hunting only those who have done wrong. She is lonely and filled with dark thoughts until one of her hunts turns into a rescue mission for a young werewolf. After she rescues the werewolf, Jonah, he immediately imprints on her causing her dark and dreary life to be less so.

Dag, a Daywalker, is one of few of his kind left. Years ago both the Daywalkers and the Webmakers were eradicated by other supernatural species. Thinking Webmakers were extinct, he was shocked when he saw one waltz into his bar. Dag is immediately interested in Aranha’s existence. At the same time, vampires are up to something and it is up to Dag, Aranha and Jonah to find out exactly what.

I really enjoyed this book, the other took a really interesting concept and turned it into an incredible adventure.

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 that are more focused on each character and their feelings. I like that it was romantic, and had some hot scenes, but wasn’t overly graphic and raunchy. The developing relationship between Gina and Bryce was sweet. The characters are very real and down to earth. Their feelings and problems are realistic. I like the bond Gina has with her “sisters” and Bryce with his friends and family. There are parts that made me laugh and nearly cry. The ending though, really? REALLY?! How could you do that to us??? Now I NEED to read the next book for sure!

The Mesmerist by Claire Luana was a book that I could not wait to read. I never hesitate to pick up a book by Claire Luana because I know that there is an adventure waiting for me. I was not disappointed at all. This book is full of adventure. Around every curve, there is something else to surprise me. The characters are complex and fully developed. This story is about the Royal family and the trouble they are in. Adrijana is the village girl who gains access to the court when the queen was pushed to her death. She has a lot on her plate and she is trying to mount an investigation and she needs to do it quickly. I highly recommend this book to see what happens to Adrijana and her investigation.

When Theo realizes where she was headed, he knows that he has a second chance to impress this mystery woman. Theo introduces himself and explains that he is a police detective, Tia states that she doesn’t trust the police and walks out of his life. Every protective and cop instinct tells Theo that Tia is in trouble and needs help but it won’t be easy to get her to let him in. A few days later, Theo happens to have an appointment at the holistic healing center where Tia works. Somehow he convinces Tia/Sofia to give him a chance.

When a second eerie text comes in while they are at dinner, Theo kicks plans into high gear. Soon, Tia finds herself living in Theo’s home and under his protection. Will she be able to trust another police officer to keep her safe? Can she fight her past to allow happiness with Theo?

After an invite from a childhood friend takes Adrijana to court, her life is flipped upside down after a seemingly simple question. Being new to the court, Adrijana becomes the obvious suspect in a series of deaths. How can she prove her innocence? Aligning with a royal Mesmer, she sets out to unravel the mysterious deaths and ultimate plot to destabilize the only home she’s ever known. What will it take to unravel the truth and protect those dearest to her?

This young adult fantasy mystery will draw you in immediately. Having never read anything by this author, something was intriguing about the short synopsis that first drew me to this book. As with any new-to-me author, I was skeptical but I’m so relieved to find that this book was one of the best YA fantasy books I’ve ever read.

The flow of storytelling is so incredibly polished that the reader becomes immersed in the world of Adrjssia from the first page. Claire Luana does an eloquent job of setting the tone and atmosphere of this new world without drowning the reader in minute details. This story could have easily been drawn out into multiple books but it works perfectly as a stand-alone tale. I am a reader who typically tries to figure out the mystery before the narrator does. However, this was not the case in this book. The reading was easy enough to follow along while gripping to keep me drawn to the moment instead of jumping ahead. There’s an expertly practiced balance between the mystery, depth of the characters, and seductiveness of journeying with Adrijana.

Overall, this book deserves nothing less than five stars.

This is book four in this amazing series. You could read this as a stand-alone story, but there are quite a few returning characters and familiar faces that make this story even more enjoyable.

Elena is in hiding. Most of her family and friends think she’s dead, it’s safer for them that way. But when the past catches up with her she’s forced to face it and she finds help in an unexpected place.
Safe to say, I love this story. I’ve read several books by this author and she never fails to have me hooked.
The characters are very relatable, and they have amazing chemistry. It’s not smooth sailing for Elena and Marco, but their relationship grows and strengthens throughout. I also really enjoy the mafia ‘family’ dynamics and getting updates and characters I’ve read about previously.
Another must-read!

I am a huge fan of this gifted author. The first two books hooked me and held me deep as I read and this one was certainly no different. The story brings you in the world to which the characters reside, and bring on so much development as use of description to make you really feel you are right with the characters.

I would defiantly say this one, is my favorite so far. I feel the author is so talented, they keep introducing new things to the next installment to keep the reader interested and for sure wanting more. I can never get enough of this series. Fantasy, space, good vs. evil, what’s not to love truly? I found the description use for the senses the author uses, sensational! Its really fine wok to achieve that I find, and the power it brings over you as you envision, is unlike no other!

What I love about this series, and this book especially, is the the way the book captivates and makes my mind work. It makes me use parts of my brain that I normally do not. It makes me think. Plain and simple. In a good way! The face flows very nicely and there is not a dull moment in this book. Wonderful and amazing read, I would not recommend passing this book up or the books prior in the series!

Love this series and the amazing work this author does so much! I hope they just keep on writing. I look forward to the new installments all the time! I can never get enough or bored with the books or series. I loved this one for reasons, you need to read this one. It is captivating and that’s all I shall say!

This book was outstanding. A battle of good and evil through the multiverse. You can’t help but jump into the book because the “twins” pull you in from the first two books. Their adventures continue with the Lightseekers against the DoH. The author does an excellent job portraying these characters. From the Masters of Shimbalah to Zenon the wolve-man who roams the woods around it. I personally loved how the book traveled throughout the multiverse. There were separate teams at work to save the Earth spread out. This book really is so amazing. It makes you think and wonder about things.

This contemporary romantic suspense story had me gripped from start to finish. Tia is a women on the run from an abusive ex boyfriend, her real name is Sofia. Tia is in hiding and not looking forward to spending the holidays on her own, when she receives an anonymous text message. Having stayed away from men, and especially cops she is surprised when she is fascinated by Theo, a detective, who is determined to find out the truth surrounding her. Theo, is recovering from a serious wound but the more he learns about Tia/Sofia he wants to help her. He is surprised when he feels the need to protect her, not just because she’s in danger but because she is his, and he protects what is his. The storyline had plenty of romance, drama and suspense to keep me happily turning the pages, and the plot twists kept me guessing until the last page. I felt engaged with the characters, especially Sophia and Theo and enjoyed seeing their relationship develop. Their chemistry really came across in the writing, and the author brought both them and the setting to life with her descriptive narrative. This is a new author to me, and I look forward to reading more of her novels.
