StormwoodStormwood by Luna Mayfield
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stormwood is a short paranormal novel that tells the story of Luci. When she inherits her family’s estate, she is unsure what to do with it. But suddenly something-or someone-is calling to her from the estate. Traveling with her fiance, Luci is quickly swept up in the allure and mystery of the home. But things aren’t always what they seem. Can Beckett save her before it’s too late?

Stormwood was an edge of your seat paranormal story with steamy romance included. I was rooting for Beckett and Luci to get their relationship back together. The evil forces at work were mesmerizing and drew me in from the beginning. Very descriptive, great story telling! Definitely a must read! 5/5 stars!

Spooked by a SuspicionSpooked by a Suspicion by Risa Nyman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spooked by a Suspicion is the follow up novel to Swallowed by a Secret. We once again join Rocky as he continues to navigate his ever changing life. This story begins with his mother announcing she is getting married to Ted! Rocky sees Ted as evil–setting him up for failure, sabotaging him every chance he gets! He has to show him mom who Ted really is before it’s too late!

Risa Nyman has done it again! With this second novel involving Rocky, his relationship with Olive has grown, he has adjusted to his new school, and is even winning awards there. But Ted seems to throw a wrench into everything. Full of suspicion, mystery, suspense, and adventure, this book is just as good as the first of the series! Rocky faces challenges that any teen could face, and his feelings are portrayed in a realistic and relatable way. Great writing! 5/5 Stars!

Swallowed by a SecretSwallowed by a Secret by Risa Nyman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Swallowed by a Secret by Risa Nyman introduces us to Rocky, a spunky 12 year old who recently lost his father.  With the passing of his father, Rocky’s mother moves him to a new town to live with his grandpa.  While trying to adjust to his new home, new school, and life without his father, Rocky overhears a shocking secret.  Rocky’s dad didn’t really die because “his heart stopped.”  This sends Rocky on an investigation to discover the truth about his father’s death and why he isn’t allowed to return to his hometown.

Swallowed by a Secret is a fantastic novel that deals with a very heavy subject.  I believe it could be helpful to millions of teens around the world to read about Rocky’s adventure and what he discovers.  Accepting things about those we love can be hard, but in the end, Rocky knows his father loved him and that he was  great person.  Full of teen angst over normal things like a new school, all the way up to adjusting to life without his father, Rocky is a wonderfully developed character.  His friendship with Olive is fun, and shows what a  true friend should be.  I loved this story! 5/5 Stars!

Fight For It is the first book by author Amy L. Gale that I have read and I can not wait to read more! I read this in one sitting, not wanting to put it down at all.

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No Way Out is book one in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. Every time is like the first time of ever picking up a book when I read a story by this author. That first feeling of awe, wonder and total contentment as you have found the thing that makes you the most happiest in life. A beautifully written story. I have not felt that discovery of love for books since my first memory of reading. To recapture that rapturous feeling was unexpected but very welcome. Now to the story. There is nothing better than being kept on the knife’s edge with a good mafia romance. This author demonstrates acute imagination and gives the characters depth, immense strength and and more personality that a person may be able to cope with. I get lost in these amazing characters. Totally immersed in the journey. And blissfully content while lost in Max and Liliana.

No Way Out was anxiety riddled, dramatic, fast paced, dangerous, arousing and irresistible. Amy McKinley rose above even my wildest expectations and ruined me for other stories of this trope. I am totally owned by each characters and what they portray. A stunning beginning to a series I have no doubt will be unforgettable. 5 stars.

Drew: Book One of the Perfectly Independent Series by Amanda Shelley – Review by Angelina Frazzini

/0 Comments/in /by

Drew (Perfectly Independent, #1)Drew by Amanda Shelley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Drew by Amanda Shelley is book one of the Perfectly Independent series.

Abby’s goal is to become a doctor. After her chemistry lab, she’s sure she’s doomed. Drew is not someone she ever expected to be in her lab. With his cockiness, she knows she needs to stay far away, that is until they end up as lab partners. Drew has one goal and basketball was his ticket to get there. Ned school is in his future but he can’t get distracted. Drew avoids distractions at all costs, especially during the basketball season. But then, he’s paired with Abby for lab and all of his plans may just crumble. Can he stick to the plans he laid out or will Abby derail everything?

I really enjoyed reading Drew and Abby’s story. It was so nice to see that Drew had big goals outside of basketball and he wanted to ensure nothing got in his way. Abby was just as driven. They both wanted to do to why was necessary to achieve their goal that they were a little blind at first to what was happening between them. The build up is half the fun! The book wasn’t at all what I was expecting and I definitely recommend this book!

Totally loved this book!
This is book 5 of the Karina Cardinal series and I totally fell in love with Karina and the team. The writing is spot on and the storyline just draws you in. Even though I had not read the other books, not once did I feel left out of the loop. There were glimpses into past events which now has me wanting to go back to the start and read the series as a whole. If you are looking for an awesome mystery series led by a FMC that will have you laughing out loud while taking you on an exciting ride, then this is the series for you.

Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds, #1)Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow let me tell you, this book was so intriguing! This book is the setup to this series so this book is very heavy on world building but it does not slow it down at all! Sometimes when authors have so much to set up and that it requires loads of world building it can be complicated to maintain reader engagement. Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison however did so fantastic and I never felt like I was struggling to read or stay engaged, I was quite the opposite actually I couldn’t put the book down! I can’t wait to read the next book. This is going to be such a great series, I feel it in my bones! Read this book, I really can’t recommend this book enough!

Scarlet Princess
(The Lachlan Feuds) Book 1
By: Robin D. Mahle & Elle Madison
Genre: Renaissance Historical Fiction & Romance
Pages: 230

I have read a lot of fiction in my 29 years of life. This read seemed fresh and new and I very much enjoyed it.
There was an idea of mystery and adventure in the plot of danger. I have always been a fan of historical fiction and the authors took the time to detail the actions and features of each character to being you into the story with them.
There are some omg moments that suck you in and you just have to keep reading l. As a series fanatic I cannot wait to read book 2. Four stars well deserved and recommended.
This read will teach you the lesson of thieves and have you wanting to be a princess. Do you think royalty has more fun?!

“It was more clear by the hour that this was not a place for a girl from Lochlann.”

“Deadly Words” truly exceeded all of my expectations. I was not familiar with this author and don’t usually read thrillers, but there’s no going back now! Poppy is such a deep character and I loved being in her twisted little mind. I mean, who wouldn’t be a little damaged after being raised by a psychopathic murderer? This author has a way with words that spoon feeds you tiny bits of information that leaves you feening for more! So hard to put down!

Slow Burn (Breathing Hearts, #2)Slow Burn by A.K. MacBride
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read, I was pulled right in from the beginning.

Maddie has been sneaking peeks at her new neighbor and she finally gets the nerve to approach him and lets just say he was not very receptive, she quickly retreated back to her home. There is something about Maddie that Adam finds soothing and he enjoys secretly watching her dance on the beach. Her fugly dog has also been sneaking over to his house and seems to be growing on him. As the story moves forward they start to grow closer, with little hiccups here and there.

Both Maddie and Adam have things that they are dealing with personally. They seem to have a connection and being together helps ease some of the stress.
Will Maddie get past her issues and finally get her dream job? Will Adam be able to get past his issues and open up to Maddie?

Overall this was a great read. I loved all of the characters, especially the dog. I loved Maddie and her strength, her thoughts about Adam had me LOL at times. We get a bonus chapter at the end along with a sneak peek at the next book in the series. The author does a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read the next book. 1-click and get started today.

Caine (Men of Syn Book 2) by Anise Storm.
What a fantastic read this was! I love when an author can give me heat and an incredible storyline at the same time. Caine and Emery have a chemistry that just seems to jump off the pages. They truly brought the story to life for me. They were easy to connect with and root for. The storyline had me completely hooked from start to finish and I’ll be honest I felt a bit lost when I reached the end from missing the characters. It’s a well written book and I can’t wait for more from this author! Go get this book! Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Amy McKinley’s USA Today Bestselling novel Secrets, Arranged Marriage, and Redemption is an action-packed mafia romance about secrets, arranged marriage, and redemption.

When they finally meet face to face, he understands he’ll never be able to walk away.

Liliana Brambilla, born into one of the Cosa Nostra’s most powerful families, is a pawn in her father’s power grab, unable to escape until he frees her.

First timer read with this author and this was a great starter!! Adam and Maddie are a couple you root for, and can easily imagine. Maddie is the sweet girl next door who is the good friend and ever loyal supporter. She always sees the good. When Adam moves in next door you can easily describe him as brooding, sexy, and mysterious. While Adam wears a façade wanting to be hidden he finds that wont work with Maddie. As Maddie wears him down they start a slow descent into love, and its a beautiful journey. When something is meant to there wont be anything to hold you back.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was the second in The Shadow Chronicles series – if you haven’t read the first, I would highly recommend reading it before this one. The author does an excellent job expanding on the story and characters from the first book! Though this book did not exactly follow the storyline from the first book that I expected, I still greatly enjoyed the plot. I also like how it touched on the storyline that I originally expected it to follow, clearly leaving that open for the next installment! The main characters Levi and Tasha were just as enjoyable as they were in the first book, with additional satisfying developments to the antagonists of both this book and the overall series, as well as some of the lesser side characters. If you loved the first book, you’ll love this one for all the same reasons, including but not limited to the endearing characters, the fast-pace, and the steamy romance! I can’t wait to read the third installment in this series and see where it goes!

I really enjoyed the first book in The Shadow Chronicles series! I like how there was a lot of character development for the main characters, despite being the first book in the series. The author does a great job of making you fall in love with Levi and Tasha, and I thought this take on lycans and vampires was interesting and unique from other similar series. I also love how the author made you think you would have to wait a long time for certain resolutions, but brought them sooner than expected. It made for a nice buildup of certain story elements without the wait getting too frustrating! Overall, it was a face-paced, action-packed book with plenty of story-telling, character-building, and steamy romance! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys young-adult style fantasy books!

Nothing quite like an enemies to lovers romance to round out the summer with! A.K. Macbride does a wonderful job at painting a picture of what trauma does to people and how it affects relationships, specifically the one between Maddie and Adam in this novel.

This author is new to me, but this will not be the last book I will read by them! Now that I’ve read this one I plan to go back and read Instant Heat, but in reading this I did not find it necessary that I needed to read that book first, which was a plus! There are definitely a lot of unanswered questions that I have about both characters after reading this book, particularly addressing the family issues in Maddie’s life. Can’t wait to read more!

Hazel Storm has done it again. The Greek God series is one of my favorites. Funny, snarky and spicy…three of my favorite things. Vanessa, Grey Raef, and Aroz are at it again. The locations are great: good Hell, bad Hell, Overworld, and the Underworld. The new adventure to thwart Grey’s mother has them working together (or so they think). Not all is as they think. A few twists may appear. Witty, funny and always a few chuckles, another definite winner. Highly recommend.
