My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars!

Fun paranormal read. I really enjoyed this book, the characters were easy to fall in love with and the story was interesting. There are many different connections between the different characters and the author introduced the connections seamlessly, everything flowed so nicely. I don’t know how I would feel if I were Cassie, living in 1974, then after being put under a spell wake up 45 years later. It is nice that she finds Nick and their connection is cemented and their relationship starts to bloom. The reason why Cassie shows up the year she does after being “asleep” for so many years is a nice twist to the story. It seems she is there to help Nick solve the reason why his Grandma and mother have gone, and then with the way his brother Evan played a role in everything, I was completely lost in the story. I can’t wait to see what happens next with these characters and their adventure.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Travels Through Aqua, Green, and Blue: A Memoir by Mary E. Gregory. This is such a great read. Its actually a memoir and I don’t usually enjoy many memoir’s but this one was amazing. Its the story of Mary a young girl who at the height of the Aids pandemic her father a Baptist preacher came out as gay. Her whole family’s world was shook and her mom was so blindsided that she took the kids and traveled all over the US. Mary was also born with a Cleft Palate so she was teased always as a kid by kids and teachers alike. When her family settles in New York her mom’s mental health is at an all time low. At all times the family was poor no matter where they landed and the kids were raising themselves basically because of their mom’s mental health and their dad’s lifestyle. This is such an emotional, sad, read about a family that is probably more prevalent than not. Do yourself a favor and read it today!

Set In Stone (The Stone Series Volume 3) AUDIO BOOK by Dakota Willink – Review by Alexandria Richard

4/5 Stars

The stunning conclusion to the Stone trilogy which had me anxiously listening for what happened next. 

The Stone series comes to a close, with all of the mysteries answered and the bond between Alexander and Krystina tested in numerous ways. 

I loved listening to Krys standing up for herself and her needs, and pushing Alex to talk to her instead of controlling everything in their life. Alex may still be the Dom in the bedroom, but to make the relationship work her needs to give up trying to completely control Krys’ life. We experience the push and pull of love and a long term relationship with the BDSM lifestyle. 

While I understood and appreciated the dramatic aspect that Justine’s storyline brought, I thought she was selfish and caused more turmoil for Alexander and thereby Krys. I don’t think I’ve ever viewed her as a “good sister” to Alex. I did thoroughly enjoy reading more about Allie, Matteo, and Hale, and seeing how their lives were changing in the background to Alex and Krys’ story. 

Wonderful conclusion to the series.

Shield & Shade: Ascended Guardians series by Misty Hayes – review by Jules Herbert

Shield & ShadeShield & Shade by Misty Hayes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shield and Shade, the first book in the Ascended Guardians Series by Misty Hayes is actually the first book by this wonderful author that I have read and it did not disappoint at all! I have to say that it has been a while since I have read a paranormal book, a genre I use to read ALOT of, and now thanks to Ms Hayes my love for the genre has been reignited and I will be reading more especially from this creative author.

I read this book not knowing that it was a spin off from a previous series until I had completed it and went looking for more books by Ms Hayes. I don’t feel that my not having read the Blood Dagger series has hindered my experience at all. In fact now I just want to go buy the other series and start reading. I wanted to mention that important point, as I have seen a lot of reviews address the fact that it is a spin off but I don’t want people thinking you have to read the other series first. If you wanted to by all means do but I don’t feel that you absolutely have too in order to follow the story line or characters. You WILL absolutely love this book either way.

There is an endless mixture of wonderful, fascinating creative characters and worlds, loads of action and even some moments you will second guess your feelings…am I really feeling for one of the bad guys here?? seriously?? hehehe!! I was totally hooked on the story from start to finish and hated it each time I was forced to take a break from reading it.

i really hope you will join me in reading Shield and Shade…I just know you will be hooked too!

Carnival of Shadows (Black Water Magic Book 2) by Leslie Scott – Review by Alexandria Richard

Carnival of Shadows (Black Water Magic #2)Carnival of Shadows by Leslie Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 2 in the series. I so enjoy immersing myself in this world where there’s witches, demi-demons, ghosts, werewolves, and more.

Teagan is a kick ass witch who is still exploring who she is as a woman, and now add on being the new Swamp Witch, and all that entails. She cares deeply about her renters and local community, and will put herself at risk for their safety. And the sexual tension Teagan experiences will have you panting for more!

I loved how the focus of the book was on the mystery of who the Carnie people are and what do they want, but tinged with romance. The Carnies were alluring in their creepiness, as well as in their capacity to care. I loved the contrast between those ruling the show and those who were just “along for the ride.”

I also enjoyed reading more about supporting characters Shelley, Oliver and Anna, and how those relationships have grown to have formed a community.

I cannot wait to read more featuring Teagan and gang!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A unique and intriguing insight into the mind of an arsonist by a very talented author. This brilliantly executed thriller had me engaged from page one. The story is very masterfully layered and interwoven but not once was I lost even with multiple POV and storylines. I am also very good at predicting where the storyline is going and not once in this book did I get it right, which was refreshing. Great characterisation and plot twists that will shock you. I highly recommend this book.

Motherland (The Tom Grant Series Book 3) by Samantha Adair – Review by Angela Hayes

Motherland (Tom Grant #3)Motherland by Samantha Adair
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Motherland is the third book in the Tom Grant series by Samantha Adair. This is the first book that I have read by Samantha Adair- so I was curious about what lay in store for me- as I enjoy exploring new books and am always on the lookout for new authors to add to my reading lists. This has a bit of a thriller vibe happening- with dramatic developments, action, adventure, mystery, and more.
I did enjoy the story, and it did read well- but I just can’t help feeling that maybe I was missing something that would have helped me connect with the characters and story more. These characters, Tom and Isabella obviously have had a bit of a complicated past history- and have ‘reunited’ again in this book for this ‘adventure’.
I wish I knew all the details of the past books; I think if I had read the previous 3 books and had all the information they contained, that would have made this reading experience so much better. I will definitely be going back to read the previous books, before continuing on with the series. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy the story, so don’t let me put you off reading it at all, but I do recommend reading the previous books first to get the most out of it.
Off to one-click the previous books to read.

Thank you, Samantha Adair!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Arsonist’s Handbook: A Gripping Psychological Thriller by L.A. Detwiler is just as the title says. It is a dark and twisted story that will continue to haunt you. The writing style is in diary form, so it took a while to settle into it. One man’s journal becomes one man’s bible to the dark and depraved life of being an arsonist. The longing, the wonder, the torment and emotions and emotional state of one boy wanting something from someone who was not in his life but is desperate to know.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jessica Aiken-Hall’s House in the Woods is a gripping tale takes you on a journey that is full of mystery and intrigue and will have you on the edge of your seat. Once again Jessica has cleverly woven this mystery making it a compelling read. There are deceptions, lies, and secrets and twists along the way. Jessica’s narrative always invokes emotions, and the tension becomes almost a living breathing entity. I’ve said it before, but I will say it again the intensity she infuses in her words and the suspense of this tale had me completely invested and turning page after page.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first novel by Samantha Adair, and I am far from disappointed! This is my first time reading a book in the Tom Grant series, and since this is book 3 I am eager to play catch up with the other 2. There was so much depth and detail that really fueled the story.

In a country she is no longer welcome in she encounters a great deal of complications fulfilling this promise. Together her and Tom experience a journey in the motherland that is filled with a lot of action, suspense, and heartbreak. Each chapter takes us deeper in a conquest of the unknown, and leaves you wondering if her promise can be fulfilled or will her homeland finally take her down. This is a thriller you do no want to miss.

Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, book 3) by Amy McKinley – Review by Donna Dawkin

Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #3)Forged by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From the very first paragraph, Amy McKinley transports the reader into the crumbling political history of Caracas, Venezuela, seen from the eyes of the girl our heroine used to be. Events that will forge her future and leave her with a secret past are just the prelude to this steamy, suspenseful secret ops story.

Building on this foundation into current day Pearl Harbour, the author leads us into a delicious dance between Tyler, Navy Seal and Malina, a Special Ops Analyst.. a tug of war that will eventually run out of rope. Who knew office romances could be so dangerous!

Rich Hawaiian landmarks and locals, are only the start of a wild ride when Malina has to rely on Tyler, her nemesis at work, to clear her of a crime of treason she did not commit.

It’s a fight against more than just evil forces and long buried secrets, and they’ll both need to spill a few hard truths if they’re going to make out in one piece.

Get set for well written sensual scenes and believable adventure in this third installment of Amy McKinley’s Deadly Isles Special Ops series.

This was my first book by Amy McKinley, I enjoyed both her character development and how she wrote the story into both locales. I know I will search out more of her stories! Forged by Secrets

I really enjoy MC novels and this one DOES NOT disappoint! Sadie it’s a resilient and strong female lead and the boys of Satan’s Devils are hot, vicious and protective. Wraith is a sexy stack of muscle and Alpha vibes. His ability to see past Sadie’s injury and the disability it causes shows just how supportive and sweet these big, bad MC guys can be with the women they love. This story is non-stop action with rival gangs, her best friend’s ex with the contact or on her, untrustworthy guys in the inner circle and a hot love story.

The Rise of Manifesto The Great by Kerrie Noor was a decent read. The story was really good, it just didn’t feel well executed to me. I don’t know if it was an off day reading for me, but I just couldn’t get into this story and get lost in it. I felt very disconnected from it. I definitely saw some of the humor in this book but most of the jokes fell flat to me. I really hope it was just an off day for me, because I really wanted to enjoy this book more than I did. I would love to read more of Noor’s novels in the future though!

Amy does an amazing job at captivating her audience with a book that is just impossible to stop reading once you start reading. Forged by Secrets is the absolute perfect ending to a trilogy about brothers and the women they have fallen in love with. Tyler is chasing the shot of loving a woman that is too scared to be loved. Malina is scared of her past but when push comes to shove she realizes the one person she can truly count on is the one person she is terrified to rely on because she is unsure she could handle him hurting her too. Truly recommend reading the entire series.

Grumbler's Ride (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #2)Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book yet again, was another smash hit. I loved the aspect of a “side-character” coming to fruition and being the main character and Grumbler killed the role. Following his story was beautifully written, had good plot twists, and was interesting. Watching Grumbler soften that hard shell and open up was amazing to read.

After a modeling photoshoot (which includes Grumblers bike and Mary’s daughter) introduces Grumbler and Mary, something about her he just can’t get off his mind. He moves on with life only to discover that the pictures have sold, with no compensation to himself. He reaches out and contacts Mary to see if they’ve received compensation only to find out the photographer has completely disappeared and dropped off of the map. Grumbler enlists the help of his fellow MC brothers to find the photographer, but shortly something awful happens to Mary’s daughter as a threat. While Mary and Grumbler are falling for each other behind closed doors a bigger problem is unfolding causing the dispatch of members from other areas. Following along as they weave they’re way through this puzzling and disturbing situations was intriguing and kept me hooked the whole way through! And the ending!!! I won’t spoil it for you, but I need another book!!

Forged by Secrets is book three in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley.
You could read this as a standalone, but personally it is best read in order.
I enjoyed reading this story with all its twists and turns. I love how we get to know the characters and how the rest of this story plays out.

All three books flow together nicely and will keep you reading. Tyler & Malina’s story is my favorite of the three. We get flashbacks of Malina’s past and there are secrets that she does not want anyone to know about.
She is an analyst for the Navy SEALS and is accused of treason and is now on the run. She needs help to clear her name and reveal who the real mole is. There is only one person she can turn to.
Tyler, the youngest Hale brothers, and the only brother that is still a Navy SEAL, will do whatever it takes to keep Malina safe and help clear her name.

Amy McKinley did an amazing job pulling me into the story and keeping me there.
If you enjoy reading romantic suspense filled with action and adventure, I highly recommend this book.

This was a new author for me but after reading the description I decided it was worth the read. My gamble payed off big time as I was hooked from the first page unable to put this book down. I mean sexy bikers, damsels in distress, and a known and unknown threat I was bought in from the beginning and am very interested in reading the whole series.
The beginning couple of chapters are a difficult read that took me through a myriad of emotions. After being a good friend Sophie finds herself the victim with no real closure on who was at fault. Why her? Throughout this book she must come to terms with her new physical abilities and the author really made this character so relatable to what most of us would go through if the same thing had happened to us.
Enter her knight in not so shining armor sent by her friend Zoe to protect her from being used as a pawn in her ex’s dangerous game. Relying on some friends that have a code not to harm women or children Horse takes Sophie to a Biker’s gang in the states that he hopes is out of range of the threat back home. Here she meets Wraith who has sworn off women and doesn’t even want to consider having an old lady. This falls on par with Sophie’s way of thinking I mean after all she feels no man would want to be shackled to someone with so many disabilities.
With the attraction between Wraith and Sophie building will they forgo their original thinking? Can anyone make Wraith settle down? How close is the real threat to Sophie? Are the Satan’s Devils able to protect Sophie from enemies foreign and those close to home? You will have to read this book to find out more, but trust me take the leap you absolutely will not regret it!

The Rise Of Manifesto The Great: A Sci Fi Comedy Where Women Wear The Trousers (Planet Hy Man)The Rise Of Manifesto The Great: A Sci Fi Comedy Where Women Wear The Trousers by Kerrie Noor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a hilariously tongue-in-cheek satire that will win over hearts with its scathing review of modern society. Noor uses Manifesto, as well as his father and grandfather (James the Great and Arthur of the North) to demonstrate how ridiculous some parts of society are. This book is extremely funny in a sardonic way, and is eye-opening in terms of what people will do for power. Beneath the larger narrative, there are many quirky little gems that shoot sharp barbs at the foolishness of man. The dry wit of this novel will get you if you love Sci-Fi, and also Monty Python-eque humour. Great fun, I recommend you try it!

I’m not usually a fan of love triangles, as those types of storylines often involve characters that are prone to infidelity and lead to broken hearts. However, Moonlit Whisper by Amy McKinley was something pleasantly different. The characters, Fiona, Connor, and Lachlan are well developed, despite this being a short novella. You truly get the sense that things worked out the way they should have in the end, without feeling guilt for the third party.

Isabella is back in this third book in the series. Her father has died. Having promised him that she would bury him next to her mother, Isabella must return to her homeland. The only problem is that she is still a wanted woman by those that kept her prisoner before. With the help of Tom, she tries to sneak into the country. Things start going amiss when they pass through the border checkpoint.
Opinion
This book is extremely fast paced. Reunitin Tom and Isabella makes for a great chemistry, both in intimate scenes and in not so intimate scenes. Their adoration for each other pushes them on to get out.
I believe this is my favorite in the series. (Though I must confess to absolutely loving the first book.) I did not want to put this book down and was thoroughly entertained. If you have not read the first two books, you can get by without it. I am telling you though, you do not want to miss them. Go get Blood Orphan and read it first. This is a must read series for lovers of dark romances.

While my kids are older teens, it had enough excitement and mystery to keep the whole car on edge and following along. I think it even helped make the bathroom breaks shorter, because everyone wanted to know what happened next!! The author is a master at world-building, it is fast-paced in a good way, and the narrator had a wonderful way of making the book come alive! I highly recommend this series and only wish I would have found it when my son was younger.

Set In Stone (The Stone Series Volume 3) AUDIO BOOK by Dakota Willink – Review by Kerry Baker

Set In Stone Audio book by Dakota Willink is the third book in The Stone series. For me I think this is the book that has had the strongest story line out of the three of them. It felt like we got to see a little deeper into the characters and their stories. However this is also the book where I became a bit more frustrated with them. At times I felt like I wanted to shout at them because of what they were doing or saying, which shows just how invested I was in them.

This has been a great conclusion to this series – one that I didn’t realise I even wanted until I started listening to it. My only criticism throughout the whole thing is that I wished sometimes the story didn’t rely so heavily on sexual aspect of it as I thought the storylines themselves were strong enough without it. However they have all been enjoyable and I would certainly recommend them.
