GAH!!! I know I say this every time there is a new book in this series- but this is definitely my favourite…. so far- who am I kidding though, I LOVE them all!!! I don’t know how A.J Renee manages to do it, but the series really does get better and better with each new instalment. Cursed Touch is the fourth book in the Broderick Coven Series by A.J. Renee. It is a fantastic paranormal romance with witches, magic, a touch of fate, soul mates, sizzling chemistry, danger, drama, and emotion. As with every book, I was hooked right from the beginning, reading the entire story in one sitting as the story pulled me in and kept me engrossed from beginning to end. I love Carter and Vanessa- it was so easy to invest in them and the outcome of their story. I loved the bit of mystery and suspense that was intricately woven into the story as well. Ms. Renee certainly knows how to spin a captivating story… and she has me well and truly hooked on her work. I can’t wait for more. Bring on Book #5!

Azrael is the intriguing debut novel by Matthew Huntley. I have read this story twice now and both times have left me a bit conflicted as to how I should rate and review this book. So let me just start by saying that the storyline is very compelling, with all the ingredients that I look for in a great crime thriller. With a crazed serial killer, an intriguing investigation, complex characters, dramatic developments, some danger, and a whole lot of mystery… it definitely made for an interesting and very gripping read. But there were a few issues that detracted from what would have otherwise been a stellar read- and this is where I am a bit conflicted. While I really did enjoy the story, I felt that the story (and author) were let down by grammatical and editing issues- as well as a few contradictions in the storyline. As this is Mr. Huntley’s debut novel, I really do applaud him for delivering such a gripping story and look forward to following him on his writing journey, as I imagine that with experience, Mr. Huntley’s work will become even more polished, and the issues I had with this book won’t be of concern in his future work. Well worth the read! I really am looking forward to seeing what Mr. Huntley has in store for us next!

N.D. Jackson created Bared with a focus on Athena from the Green Street Girls series.. A riveting opening with Athena promising her best friend Charlie that she would live a real-life, no matter how painful it could be. Athena successfully becomes an owner of several nightclubs throughout the world and is opening a new club in Chicago that will be hosting the World Pool-Billiards Association’s Inaugural Tour of Champions. As Athena is preparing for a press conference, Trumball “Tru” shows up early for the tournament. From the start, the two are drawn to one another and get along well in conversation. The only issue that came between them was the internal fear of trusting anyone that Athena had. Despite all of his efforts to get her to open up, Tru is left wondering why she didn’t trust him. Tru divulged all of his past and even allows Athena into his personal life with his mother but this does nothing to get her to open up. One evening, as they are approaching Athena’s home there is a man waiting. The encounter is one that changes every part of the relationship.
This is an excellently executed story that addresses’ loyalty, trust, and even racial issues are lightly touched on. Athena comes across as a tough as nails person, but her inner emotions are conflicted after losing Charlie. While she tried to prove to everyone that she continued on with life by having one night flings, skydiving, and parties in her clubs, she never really lets anyone in. Tru, while having been hurt in a past relationship, seemed to be more open and honest. If looking for a romance novel with a strong female lead, then Bared by N.D. Jackson will fit perfectly.

From the very first chapter, J.D. Spero’s Boy on Hold pulls you in! A fantastically written mystery written from several characters point of view, the author does a fantastic job at completely painting the picture. Spero dives deep into the brutal realities of mental illness, addiction and murder, showing how much each character is affected by it. I really enjoyed how well she was able to show how complex mental health can be. Boy on Hold was my first book by J.D. Spero, but it won’t be my last!

Wow, this book was phenomenal! I really enjoyed this young adult/fantasy book. Alena was a young girl when she lost per family and her home. A few years later, she becomes a member of “The Guild” and now goes by the name of “Slayer” (which I love!!). Slayer is fearless and strong, and I love her character. As she now ventures off to find a missing Increment and works for The Sacred, this is when Slayer will discover what evil is where the adventure begins.

This book was very emotional. It is beautifully written. My eyes have been opened and my mind expanded since reading this. I enjoyed this book from beginning to the end. I was instantly hooked. Ullman really made the characters realistic. I highly recommend it.

Ullman–Reviewed by Jerricka Brown
A promise to a best friend on her deathbed Athena swears to put her hurtful past behind her and to live a life that she deserves and that her friend won’t get to live. Athena feels she is doing just that while her other two best friends, Gwyn, and Indigo, beg to differ. She puts all her passion into building her empire, making sure her clubs run smoothly, quick one night stands, and building high, super thick, hard as steel walls around her heart. Trust Tru, young, youthful, and sexy as hell to bring all her steel walls down around her ears. A man in town for a billiards tournament threatens to tear through every defense, and distancing mechanism she holds dear. I enjoyed every steamy, grab you by the heartstrings moment of this book. It pulls you in and makes Tru and Athena so real you feel like they could jump right off the page as you feel every emotion with them. Bared is the perfect title for this as these two literally bared their souls to each other and promised to work through past hurts and I was here for every minute of it. I look forward to reading more of this series and the other girls and seeing where life takes this group.

As a young girl on a night of terrifying fire, death, and blood Alena lost her entire family. She is luckily saved by her uncle and due to a devastating power she possesses is raised and trained in secret to become a guild member. After completing her training she sets off to complete her guild trial to become a fully fledged member. Once that is completed she is given her first official assignment. Given leave to travel to the tavern and recruit help for her journey she builds her cadre with the promise of coin upon completion. Thank goodness she didn’t decide to complete her mission alone! I love a good fantasy, young adult, or otherwise, and this one did not disappoint. I had an incredibly hard time putting this down to participate in life. Once you get into this story your are swept along and kept on the edge of your seat. I felt rather than atmosphere driven this novel is more character driven and what great characters they were, minus the one, he will deserve everything coming to him. I really enjoyed the camaraderie and friendship that developed in the group as they battled for their lives despite all of their differences. I’m really looking forward to reading more of The Forsaken.

Sinful Daughter (Dark Mafia Sins Book 1) by Emily Bowie
4 out of 5 Stars
Aria Rossi is the eldest daughter and second out of five children for her father, Nicoli Rossi, the greatly feared Mafia don. Aria’s dream of being a lawyer is close to happening. If she decides to join the family, Aria thinks she knows what her life would be. While she is deciding on the path she will take, Aria decides to live someone else’s life for just one night. Lori, Aria’s best friend, takes Aria to a place no one will recognize her.
Theo Fox is an honest cop. Theo Fox has made it his mission as a police officer to find a way to break both mafia families in the area. When he stumbles across, and by stumble I mean deliberately plans and shows up where she is, Aria on her night of freedom, Theo finds more than he bargains for in Aria. As the dangerous relationship between Aria and Theo starts, Aria finds herself in an arranged engagement. Can Aria and Theo ever be together? Will Theo give up his morals for Aria?
If screaming at a book is any indication of an amazing read, this one is beyond amazing. Emily Bowie makes sure you can feel the danger, the heat, the steam and the heartbreak. This book is kind of like the mafia, once you are in, you are in for life! Some of the characters surprise you when you least expect it. Then, there is that thing that happens. Not the first one that leaves you breathless but the second one that leaves you completely confused.

If your looking for your next amazing read then look no further then Bared. By N.D. Jackson. This book had me captured from the very beginning and was written in such a brilliant way that it made me feel like I was dealing with the same situations that the characters where. The book is full of friendship, success, power and so much more that you can’t help but fall in love with it. The main characters are alpha females succeeding in a alpha male world and it has to be one of the most empowering stories that I have ever read. N.D. Jackson gives us a fantastic plot line, powerful characters, and so much more that I can’t wait for the next book.

When I first saw the cover for The Forsaken: Wraith by Martin Ferguson I knew I had to read it. Personally I love fantasy and this cover alone drew me right in, and the synopsis just added to the thrill of wanting to read it. While I have read a lot of fantasy novels in my lifetime but this one was one of my personal favorites, there was so much adventure, great characters, and a fantastic plot line. I was so captivated by the fine details, the journey that the main character goes on and just the overall plot of the story that I just couldn’t put it down. So if your looking for a great adventure/fantasy book this weekend then I highly recommend The Forsaken: Wraith.

This is the first book that I have read by this author. Janey has suffered a lot of loss in her life. Her parents were killed in a car accident and her sister disappeared. Or did she? Janey receives a letter in the mail from her sister that sets off a series of events. Her sister is alive and believes she has a stalker. But the letter showed up in terrible condition….when was it sent? Janey takes finding her sister seriously, she takes a leave from school and travels to Redemption, Wisconsin, the last place her sister had been. I cried for Janey and her sister. I had to read the ending twice, to really let the twist sink in. Michele PW is a great story teller and I recommend this book if you enjoy psychological thrillers.

Henry “Hen” Trout has a good life for a seven year old. Hen has an awesome big brother, Tyler, a best friend, Murphy, and is studying how to set a hedgehog trap. When Hen sees a horrifying attack on his neighbor and babysitter, Ms. Sally, his world gets turned upside down. Hen doesn’t want to believe what his memory and the evidence is telling him, that Tyler was involved, but there are just somethings that can’t be wrong.
Tyler Trout has a great mom and a fantastic little brother that he adores. Tyler also has dark feelings that he hasn’t been able to fight lately. Tyler has found two things that help with the feelings, his mom and something he shouldn’t want. Tyler’s mom isn’t an option these days as she works too many hours.
This is a slow burn. I wasn’t getting it at first. Finally, when it clicked, I couldn’t put it down. I loved the relationship between Hen and Tyler. Tyler is as protective of Hen as Hen is of Tyler. There are so many scenes throughout the book that made me glad I was alone when reading. I yelled at characters not to do what they were about to do, like when Marcella broke Derek’s heart unknowingly. I needed her to take that back so badly. Be prepared to be hooked. JD Spero creates full characters to be loved and hated in this small town. I have to know if Louis finally came home!

A uniquely beautiful piece of writing. The author’s talent in creating this world continues in book 2 of the Empire at Twilight series. I was absorbed into Uqnitum’s life and had all the feels. I wanted to throttle her for being so stubborn and prideful. The skilful presentation of the era bled of the pages and I greedily soaked up every word. Highly recommend this series.

The Forsaken: Wraith was my first book from this author. I’m not going to lie, this book was a slow start for me. In the first few chapters, I felt like there was a lot of promise but I just couldn’t find the spark I was looking for. However, I was soon drawn into the story around chapters 3-4! Martin Ferguson included so much detail into this world that I felt like I was a part of the Apprentice’s journey. The world he built gave me Game of Thrones vibes with more fantasy elements. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more stories by this author!

Houses of Deception by Cynthia Hamilton is the sixth book in The Madeline Dawkins Series. This book can be read without reading the rest of the series, but I highly recommend reading the books in order. There are ongoing storylines throughout the series that accompany the various mysteries. Madeline and her partner Mike are back in action. There are two different crimes on the books, all while trying to balance the events business. I enjoyed this series and was excited to pick up this book in the series. I like Madeline and how she has progressed and changed as a character. She gets better in every book. Mike is an excellent contrast to Madeline and adds a different tone to the books. Together they work well. I look forward to reading more from this series and the author soon.

Wow. This book will have you trying to sort through all the pieces up until the very end, with a major surprise ending. Janey enlists the help of her friend and roommate, Bryn, in trying to solve the mystery of her missing sister who disappeared years ago without a trace after receiving a letter two month’s delayed by a postal service mishap that indicates Kelly is still alive and going by the name Ashley. Because the letter is ripped to pieces, the pair piece together enough information to determine where the letter originated. Janey’s pursuit for the truth leads to her taking the job as a nanny to three children, where Ashley last worked, and uncovering even more mysteries as she tries to uncover the truth about her sister’s original disappearance and what led to her most recent disappearing act. This kept me on the edge of my seat and puzzled through various twists and turns along the way; a real page-turner with a truly original storyline.

Wow Manda Mellet’s Avenging Devil Part:1 Satan’s Devils MC: San Diego was such a good development in the Satan’s Devils MC: San Diego was fantastic, I couldn’t put it down! As the name suggests it puts Niran’s point of view into two books which means we end on a cliff hanger here! I love a good cliffhanger because it means you get to carry over that same excitement and energy from the past read right into the text one! This book definitely has dark moments especially as we learn about Saffie’s past. I absolutely love Saffie and love her edition to the Satan’s Devils MC: San Diego family! It’s a rollercoaster to the very end ending with a bottomless drop! Loved this book!

This book was book 2 in the Satan’s Devils MC: San Diego series and it was such a good read! We get to get an in depth view from Grumbler’s and Mary’s point of view. The world building includes Mary’s daughter who is 17 who makes some risky choices. I loved that within the family of the San Diego chapter that we got to see a new depth unfurl. While there is some deep drama and dark things there was a whole bunch of cuteness too! I loved this book!

This was my first reading of Manda Mellett’s work and I am so glad I did! I loved it so much I read the next three one right after another. You learn about Lost the prez of the Satan’s Devils MC: San Diego, his current and backstory and then finding about the world Patsy and her son came from and watching how everything unfolds was such a treat. Spicy and suspenseful! A fantastic read and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good MC read!

Azrael by Matthew Huntley is a debut thriller novel that was a great read. I really enjoyed the character building in this book and the twists and turns that came along with it.
The book is set in New York state mostly taking place between Oswego and Buffalo. Levi Andrews is a retired lead officer who locked away serial killer Azrael a decade ago. Parker Williams is a young detective who has contacted Levi, now a drunk after losing so much after solving the original case, when new murders similar to the originals a decade ago have occurred and they are now wondering, have they locked away the wrong person? Or is this a copycat? Pick up a copy and find out for yourself!
If you love crime and thriller books, this book is for you. It has the twist and turns of a thriller with a police crime storyline that keeps your attention and wants you to keep reading right until the end to find out what happened! I really enjoyed this book and I hope that Matthew writes a second in the future!

Avenging Devil Part: 2 picks up right where we left off and ends with the finale to Niran and Saffie’s storyline. We get to see bumps in the road for those two and how they work past Saffie’s distrust as well getting to read Grumbler’s point of view again and get the epic conclusion this storyline deserved! I absolutely loved Reading from Niran and Saffie’s point of view. These two books were by far my favorite in the series and after reading all four of Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Devils I can’t wait to read her other past work and all future work! Absolutely loved these books!

I thoroughly enjoyed this love story by Angelique Jurd. It was so fun to watch Bailey grow as an individual and find love with Sam. I think the story is a tribute love of all kinds as it gives us hope that no matter what our little peculiarities might be we can still find someone who loves us as we are. Sam and Bailey are so good for each other and I was happy to see them connect and come together with their love. Angelique Jurd interested me and I look forward to reading more from her.

Cursed Touch, the latest in the Broderick series, follows middle brother Carter as he unexpectedly finds his mate in Vanessa Rayne, jewelry maker and business owner. Carter, blessed with the ability to heal, meets his mate when she brings her neighbour to the hospital where he is consulting in his capacity as a doctor. After saving her friend, he can’t stop thinking about her, and the fates step in to cross their paths again. The relationship is fraught with danger (obviously!) and Carter takes every step to protect her until they discover the source of the threats. Vanessa seems to be able to sense magic and magical beings unlike other humans, and the revelation of her backstory is great. Also, Renee, CAN WE PLEASE GET PETER A MATE! I love this character (leader of the Alumbra werewolf pack) and we really must see more of him. Cursed Touch follows the same narrative arc as the others in this series, so if you loved any of the other ones, you will love this one too!

Levi Andrews is a detective who has seen too much and has turned in his badge and turned to the bottle to try and numb all the feelings he is trying desperately to suppress, one day when he wakes up to another sunny day and another hangover, nursing a sore head and a cup of coffee he is disturbed by a knock on the door, when he asks who it is, he is surprised when it is a Detective who is looking for him, he wonders if it is to do with his private investigative business, but he is pretty sure he kept his nose clean, but when he asks what the visit is about, the Detective says is it about Azrael, a name he has tried to forget, a name associated with a case ten years ago which ruined his life. Levi considers his options and contrary to his need to run, he opens the door and invites the Detective in, he introduces himself as Detective Parker Williams and goes on to explain that a murder has occurred which he believes is the return of the Azrael killer, he has brought a case file with him with some photo’s and reports in it to show Levi and ask for his help in solving this new case.
As he looks at the information Parker brought with him, he can see the similarities, but when he is asked if he will help, he is not surprised that it isn’t something that the higher ups don’t want him involved in, especially after who he left when the original killer was arrested, but it irks him that this young Detective is trying to tell him that he thinks he arrested the wrong person, because the details are too similar for it to be a copycat, in the end Levi asks when the Detective is returning to where the murder has taken place, he says he will meet him an hour before and give him an answer. Levi now has to make the hard decision as to whether to return home, or let sleeping dogs lie, as he tries to weigh the pro’s and cons, he concludes the current case he has on.

I was very pleased that Max Broderick got his turn at love. He’s one of my favourite of the Broderick clan – a handsome veterinarian that can communicate with animals? What’s not to love? When he meets injured werewolf Claudia in her wolf form, he is drawn to her, and works hard to save her. After realizing that she is his mate (despite not being a witch!) he is patience personified in his steadfast love for her. She take a long time to heal, but slowly he wins her trust. Max and Claudia’s romance brings new levels of depth to this set of books, and I really enjoyed watching it unfold. We also get to explore the relationship between the Broderick witches and the Alumbra pack of werewolves, and how they have forged a bond, despite weres and witches being natural enemies. This might be the best one yet!

Cursed Sight follows the love story of Serena, high priestess of her witches coven, and Ethan Broderick, youngest brother of the Broderick clan. While mentoring Ethan’s newly developing oracle powers, Serena becomes aware of a strong attraction to him immediately. She identifies that Ethan is her mate, a powerful bond between magical beings, unlike any other. Serena is magnificent in her role as leader in the coven, a strong independent woman, who supports all of her witches to become the best they can. Ethan is young and handsome, learning to become an oracle for the group. His visions are chaotic at first, but many of them revolve around Serena being killed. Together they hunt down the person who is trying to kill her. I tore through this book in one night. Lots of action that keeps you guessing til the end, and the romance was great.

A very well-written haunting tale. Like her other books, Holmes has extensive knowledge of the historical era in which this is set, which makes for great realism. Unlike some of her other works, I found this one more accessible and easier to fall into without a background in ancient times. The characters are full and complex, their emotions and motivations varied and interesting. I deeply felt some of the horrors that Uqnitum endured on her journey. It is quite an emotional work, and I connected with it immediately.

Such a deliciously exciting romance. Characters that have intense chemistry but also have secrets from their past that must be dealt with. Strong feminine characters make for great novels because she maintains that strength as she also shows some of her vulnerability. She has a strong supportive group of friends that are their for her that make sure to stay in contact. This was such a wonderful novel because it had such a realistic taste of relationships and we got to watch them build and grow. Highly recommend.

(A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Shelly Kittell
Bake Believe Audible Logo Unabridged Audio Book by Cori Cooper is a great YA book that really draws you in and makes you become invested in Cat. She is such a loveable character that brings the whole story to life.
Having read this book previously I was excited to listen to the audio book version. And while I still really enjoyed the story I did struggle with the narration a bit. I found it hard to connect with the person telling this story, hard to listen to their way of bringing it to life. Their style definitely suited this type of book which makes me think this is definitely a personal thing. and knowing how good this book is, it doesn’t take away from it being a 5* read.
