My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really sweet story! I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, something a little different, but this was very sweet to read! I wanted to read it to my one year old daughter but this is a little too much for her understanding right now. I would say this could be a good story to read to maybe 4-6 year olds. I plan to read this to my daughter when she gets older. It has a great premise and the illustrations are beautiful. I think kids would really enjoy having this book read to them!

Diabolical Sword: An Urban Fantasy Mystery (The Charm Collector Book 1) – Review By Krystal Gregory

Diabolical Sword: An Urban Fantasy Mystery (The Charm Collector Book 1)
4 out of 5 stars
This book one in the Charm Collector collection and I adored this urban fantasy. Harlow is hysterical and the constant commentary between Harlow, Caspian and Welsh alone was enough to keep me going. Harlow is a simple girl, just trying to live her best life. But don’t let anyone tell you that, that life is on the gray side of the criminal. When Harlow ends up with a sentient sword, she is fast wanting to get rid of it, only to find out, that the sword has taken a liking to her, and has made her life, a living nightmare. Soon Harlow finds herself on the run from the cops and other crazy shifter creatures.
This book was super fun. The characters and world were so detailed and incredibly thought out. Lovers of sci-fi, fantasy, and mystery will love this book.

Diabolical SwordDiabolical Sword by Melissa Erin Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was like a Dungeons & Dragons campaign gone horribly wrong and I loved every second of it!

Harlow, a charm collector, was only doing what she does best, find magical items and ‘re-home’ them. After a fellow collector gets caught for contraband magical items, Harlow decides to loot his trove before the Collective will take it for themselves. (Collective is basically the government of this magical hub) In the other collectors treasure room, she finds many magical items to loot including a pretty shiny sword that catches her eye.

Harlow some how activates the sword and it awakens. Having a mind of its own, the dragon scale sword imprints on Harlow and wants her help to find out where it came from. Unfortunately, the sword goes on a murdering spree. Once the collective gets wind of this sword, they are pulling out all the stops to make Harlow be an enemy of the public. With Harlow now on the run, she has no idea who she can trust, where to go, where the sword came from, why it chose her?

Throughout this book, we follow Harlow on her crazy adventure filled with magic, murder, mystery and so much more. I would definitely want this author to DM one of my future D&D adventures!

This second book in The Stardust Duet is amazing. Phillip and Kat are finally together after being in separate centuries.

Mom, Is There a Santa Claus?Mom, Is There a Santa Claus? by Susan J. Berger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was looking for a book that I could share with my son who is on the cusp of not believing in Santa. I wanted a fun way to tell him, but still needed a way for him to not spoil it for his younger brother. This book, like many of the Christmas stories and movies, starts with a friend telling the main character that Santa isn’t real. In this book the mom talks about the child being a dream keeper and that those believe keep the dream alive. The boy becomes a dream keeper so that his brother still believes. A great way to help tell your child about Santa, I just wish it was longer!

Luke (Default Distraction #4)Luke by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind in her writing. This is the fourth book of the very addictive Default Distraction series. This book can be read as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not stop until the end and I can’t wait to see what she will write next.

Luke was given up by both parents. He was raised in an orphanage by the only father figure he knew. Luke is now a single dad and band member to a very well known group. He wants his daughter to have the best life that he didn’t have. Luke is starting a tour and he needs a nanny to help out. He is shocked to find out that his new nanny is the girl he saw one day and he can’t stop thinking about it. Luke knows he is not good at relationships but there’s something about her he can’t get over. Will Luke be able to find love or will it slip through his hands once again?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m trying to think of the best word to describe this book…intense?? Intense and addicting for sure. I went into this knowing about the possible triggers and violent storyline. Right up my alley for sure. Some might think of a character such as Liz as weak and broken, but she is such a strong a resilient character in my eyes. This author definitely shines at character development and building a gripping world that the reader gets easily sucked into. This would have made a great series, as I’m a sucker for detailed long stories, but this quick read surely didn’t lack any important aspects. I’d strongly suggest this author, as long as the reader knows what they are getting into and enjoys a good dark romance.

The best thing for me is finding new authors and new books. This was just the ticket. I love paranormal or fantasy type books and I love the way this one was written. The multi timeline element of this book really works well. I like how the past was used and how it really was the key to everything. The author really has a unique and refreshing story.

I was really hooked from the beginning and I could not put this book down. From the historical part of the book to the present day the story was flawless and really flowed well. I look forward to more from this author and I really hope this is the beginning of a good series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an adorable book about the true meaning of Christmas and how important it is to keep the spirit of Santa alive no matter your age. I couldn’t read this one to my little because at 5 years old, he still completely believes in Santa Claus and I will give him zero reasons to doubt. I worry for when the time comes that someone at school or in everyday life will ruin the magic for him, but this book gave me a great idea of what to do when that time comes. I will keep it and continue to pass it on to other parents I know who will be struggling with the same thing. I highly recommend it for any parent or teacher who has children around the age that begins to question what they’ve been told. It will help renew the spirit and keep the magic alive.

Troy is a Shinree, his race is what sets him apart from other races. He also comes with an addiction for magic. Only problem is his magic can kill everything and everybody in his path. Being of the Shinree race he must serve his master,  even if that means going into battle. Having blood on his hand and the death of many. He decides to escape, but as far as he runs, everything catches up with him. I enjoyed this story, at times I felt as though I was in a race. This author has an eye for detail. The characters fit their description given by the author. Having read many book in this genre, I found this one just as entertaining and complete. This story makes for a great road trip. I recommend reading or listening to this story as it will not disappoint.

WOW! Just wow.  This was an amazing book.  I will state that some sexual triggers in this book. This book is based on our main female character who is strong and stubborn and brave as can be.  She stays strong even in the face of brutal fear.  She is at the MC to meet her dad after her mother dies.  She wants to know him.  The surprise of being told he had a child years ago is a shock.  The story takes several twists and turns and your emotions will be all over the place.  This author has captured my love for MC stories and the worlds she has built even between chapters.  I can’t wait to read the next one.

A.S Robert’s does a good job of bringing you into this Rockstar romance novel. This is book 4 in the series but I think you could read this as a stand alone as well. The author really draws you in this story and you can’t help but really feel for Luke and his past. I honestly had to have a box of tissues next to me for some chapters. Roberts does an amazing job paying attention to details in the story and really makes Nikki and Luke come to life!

Mom, Is There a Santa Claus?Mom, Is There a Santa Claus? by Susan J. Berger

This was a sweet book that I would recommended for children who get to the age where they start questioning if santa is real or not. This time of life can be quite upsetting for children as something they care about for years can get taken away.
However this story is about a young boys realisation that even if Santa is exactly the person he was led to believe, that he still exists as long as people believe in him. Lucas then sets out to help his parents keep the spirit of santa alive for his younger brother.
It’s a very heartwarming story and a great idea of a way to approach that question some parents dread of is Santa real?

This is a beautifully written children’s story all about a cat named Priscida. It’s her story about going from being a stray to finding a family that loves herself allows her to be herself and find her greatness.
This is a lovely story and teaches children that they can be great just by loving and by being loved by the people around them. That greatness isn’t about money or possessions but about the love that we share and it’s something we can share with everyone.

This is the story of one woman’s view of the world from her point of view with not just hers but with those who have a disability. We get an inside look of what it means to be blind and appreciate how her world is affected and how to adapt. We can close our eyes and try to imagine but we truly have no idea. It is unique, insightful and interesting and an eye opener as you read the poetry and words and try to imagine. It is also an invitation to children and adults to see the world of others with activities. It shows that even in darkness there is colour and beauty.

I read this as soon as I finished the previous book in this Duet and loved it as much as the first. It’s really a direct continuation of the first story, and there’s slightly more angst where the first had more mystery. There’s plenty of sweetness, chemistry, and emotion, just like in the first novel. I really think the author captures the romance between the two main characters Kat and Phillip without getting too sappy, and we get to see more of Phillip’s character arc this time. This novel really does not disappoint!

This book has contemporary romance and the fake dating trope. The way this is amazingly written.

Clothes, cars, property, and women are all within Caspian’s reach until the grandeur he’s become accustomed to threatens to crumble around him if he fails to fulfill his uncle’s last desire.
He has discovered real love and to be Committed to staying married for a year.

Only by completing those two crucial duties would he be able to claim his fortune. What he needs is someone who will agree to a convenient arrangement that will free him from the emotional bonds of marriage.

She didn’t believe things could get much worse now that she was evicted and destitute. Then they did it. Paisley will soon be saddled with the financial obligation of her mother’s care, with her mother in a coma and her insurance benefits running out. She has no clue how she’ll support both of them until a childhood acquaintance approaches her with an unusual proposition. She wants Her mother’s care to be taken care of and a penthouse in Manhattan as well as the sum of one million dollars.

She just needs to pretend to be blissfully married for a year, but a lot may happen in that time.

I loved this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

This was such a well put together children’s book. I loved how it really showed that everyone can have struggles no matter how hard they try, but you should not put yourself down over it! It was up lifting and sweet all at the same time. For children that feel they are not meeting the criteria that sometimes the world puts on them, it can make them feel rather down. This story was a great reminder about how we are all special in our own unique way! Also it was great story about self love, which was very admirable!

Sweet and very touching story. I think any child, no matter what they may face, this is something they need to read and get that life lesson from! It was a very motivational and powerful book, a must read!

This book is sweet, the story is a great lesson and the art is super cute. I really liked all the puns and this one line stuck out to me the most, “Priscida, you are great. Go be great today” I feel that is a very nice thing for anyone to say to themselves before starting their day. It is nice to get that extra motivation even if it comes from yourself. The lesson here is be great, love more and persevere. Great read for parents and children.
