Just Ducky (Weird Shifters)Just Ducky by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an interesting twist to the normal shaft shifters that you read about. This one was about a girl; Ducky could shift to a duck. Ducky feels like an outside, she has no friends and didn’t grow up in the greatest of homes. War for so long with the humans and the paranormal, but is there any way that maybe they can solve this and stop it all? and can Ducky help in anyway, she becomes friends with the prince, but can she save him? This story captivating from the beginning, it was so much in such a short read, well that it felt like. I can’t wait for the next book, the way this one ended don’t skip this book, you’ll want to read them in order.

I loved this book, my favorite part has to be the art. I love that it looks like someone drew and colored the book, such a fun concept. Dinopotamus is so cute and sweet, he wants to be like the other children, he wants to be involved. I appreciate the teacher including Dino in the lesson and even reassuring him that he did have 3 toes instead of 5 like the others and that is okay. All around a cute book.

Ghost Talker (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Book 1) by Byrd Nash – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Ghost Talker (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #1)Ghost Talker by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ghost Talker is the first book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries series. I actually started with book 2, Delicious Death, because I was drawn to a paranormal mystery that centres around dessert! Ghost Talker has less dessert (although there are some tasty treats!) but the characters, setting and intriguing plot mean it’s still an enjoyable book!

This is a Gaslamp Fantasy, set in a fictional world that’s based in part on the late Victorian/early Edwardian times. Elinor, Madame Chalamet, can communicate with ghosts and uses her skills to help people with a variety of situations including solving mysteries, coping with grief and addressing hauntings. While her work is appreciated by her clients, the proliferation of phony ghost talkers means that many are skeptical about what she does.

There are lots of mysteries to solve in Ghost Talker. Supernatural elements and court intrigue play a part, as well as normal human emotions and motivations. The darker elements are balanced by cheerful moments between friendly characters, such as Anne-Marie and Jacques, and descriptions of things like food and costume.

This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend the series to fans of fantasy mysteries. If you haven’t read any gaslamp fantasy you should give it a try!

I don’t think I’ve chuckled so much. You hear this term on some animal videos on social media. I love how the author uses it for an A-B-C of animals book. Terrific choice of animals. The descriptions are of unique characteristics. There is usually a weird fact. This is neat because even as an older person, I’m learning new facts reading this. Wonderful pictures. You even get to learn what it’s called when there is a group of the animals together. Check this book out. Another fun and educational one from this author that I’ll be adding to our family library. It’ll be a cool resource for projects that may come up.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m in shock that this was the last book to this series, what an amazing ride these books have been, and I’m sad to see it end. Hadassah get exiled to Earth while she waits for judgement and must put up with Her Brothers new family. Trying not to upset her brother. Hadassah settles on “trying” to make friends with Jezebel as she is the least annoying, she settles for her. Only she gets more than she bargained for! Now they are on the run from Jezebel’s past together. I loved this whole series. You can read this story alone, but I highly recommend you read them in order, but be prepared for an amazing ride that you won’t want to let go of.

I enjoyed this story, which is a sequel about the two main characters after they get married and move to America and the new life they build there after the war. I didn’t feel like I needed to read the previous book but I possibly would have enjoyed this book more because I would have been invested in then already. I enjoyed the storyline but I wanted more from Mariella’s relationship with her mother-in-law. Overall, I would recommend this story.

Troy (The Crown of Stones)Troy by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story sets up the trilogy nicely if you haven’t already read it. If you have, it has added a nice bonus read to the series. After having read the series, I must admit I was very happy to see a prelude! Any addition to this series is great. You could potentially read this as a stand alone, but I don’t recommend it. Simply because the series is so good.
As you can tell by the title, this book is about Troy and his back story. How he became the man he is within the series. Another well written book with great world building.

The Better Man (Silver Buckle Brides, #2)The Better Man by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How do I resist falling in love with a story when I’m already invested at the dedication!? Thank you for allowing me to be part “ baker’s dozen grandchildren “ ❣️📚😉

Laramee and her battered Ford arrive at Alpine Peak Ski Resort but she’s a rodeo girl not a ski bunny anyhoo she’s there to pick up biscuits from their bakery for her mum but shes parked her “monstrosity “ in the wrong place so when the bellman gets difficult and “ Bear Claw Man” from the bakery comes to her aid now instead of being the damsel she gets a little prickly and I get it but girl have you taken a look at this guy !? 😍 ( I’m such a weakling 🤣)

Well Bear Claw Man doesn’t walk away unscathed he comes face to face with his ex Victoria and she had the cheek to invite his family to her wedding, well let me be the one to tell you that you dodged the bullet with Victoria , there’s much better things in store for you !

Ok so Bear Claw Man has a name …. Jamie and his family is in to property and his new project is an old dude ranch and it belongs to Laramie’s family and she’s desperate to save it from development but at the same time her folks have different ideas and it would seem poor Jamie is stuck in the middle ….

What unfolds is beautiful and heartbreaking at times , Jamie might be a business man but he’s got a BIG heart he’s sensitive to Lardner and he often hears what she’s not saying and he handles her well even when an old flame makes a reappearance. He’s really a keeper 🥰and really the better man for the better woman ❣️

I laughed , I cried , I felt the guilt at the loss of Tyler and I felt the love of family and community 🥰 this is definitely one of those I’ll be reading again and I must add that I see turquoise with a different eye 😉

Finding Love (The Oath Series)Finding Love by Lacey Furr
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 – 4.5 Stars

 

Finding Love is the first book in The Oath Series by Lacey Furr. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Furr- but I can guarantee that after reading this book, it certainly won’t be the last.
Gah! This strummed my heartstrings so hard. Beautifully broken characters who learned to live, and love, again after so much tragedy. Neither were expecting to find love, and healing- she was holed-up in her B & B, going through the motions of living. His life was beginning to spiral out of control from his own tragedy. Fate intervened, ensuring these two crossed paths, when Loch turns up at her B & B for some much-needed downtime to rest and recuperate. What ensues makes for a heart- tugging read.
Well worth the read.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Lacey Furr!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book one in the Protect and Honor series. The story had me hooked from the beginning. With plenty of suspense and tragedy, lives are changed forever. The political agenda and exposure of a secret life gets thrown into the public. A political thriller with a little bit of romance involved makes for a great novel. I also liked that the main character has my middle name. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and can’t wait for the next installment.

Okay first off I love the facts and tidbits the author puts on the pages. Most of them I never knew but now I do lmao so I’d say this book is good for all ages. I read this with my little one tonight, so hopefully after seeing this he’ll leave his bandages alone after a boo boo. This book was a great read, super fun and informative (which is awesome) about the bodies healing process after an accident, in a cool graphic way but I wouldn’t expect anything less from the talented author Lois Wickstrom. I look forward to seeing more work from this author 🥰🥰

As someone who has read Reed’s Bluestone series and really enjoyed it when I saw she had another book, about hot fire fighters no less, coming out I jumped at the chance to read it as soon as I could. I was NOT disappointed, there were so many things to unpack in Toasted and I enjoyed every minute of it. I look forward to reading more from her in this series. There was insta-love from both main characters but with Libby’s trauma she experienced at the hands of her mother she was so reserved and at first was not able to label things like Zach was able to do so easily. It was a wonderful thing watching them grow together.

Toasted by Isobel Reed is book one in the Love Burns series. This is not my first story by Isobel and I haven’t been disappointed yet! Libby gets welcomed into town by all the hot Firemen, isn’t that how everyone is? At least she had clothes on! I basically fell in love with Libby. She’s someone you’d want to be friends with. I loved her inner dialogue, it was hilarious and sooo relatable. Zach was cute and sweet. I loved how he saw what he wanted and went for it but wasn’t overbearing and willing to give space. Though I thought it could use some more spice, I was obsessed with this story. It was a fun, fast read that had me laughing and enjoying it the entire time. The conflict is minimal, mainly between the characters and their own mind but the story was still great.

A Cold Day in Hell (Life is Hell #5)A Cold Day in Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a conclusion to an amazingly diverse series. This is book five in the series Life is Hell by Naomi Valkyrie but from book one you already know most of the characters so seeing the growth across each of the books was such a treat. Dual perspectives of Hadassah and Jezebel. Heads up while this book as well as the others could be read as a standalone Hadassah’s start in this book is the direct consequences of her actions in book one.
Hadassah is an Angel from Heaven and after helping her fallen angel brother Malakhi save his demon girlfriend from witches, she is now on probation on earth awaiting her punishment. While she wouldn’t change her mind on helping him, she doesn’t want to “condemn” herself more by interacting with his new less than heavenly family he has made on earth. Jezebel in book one was thought to be just a dog until the climax when Mal and everyone else discovered she was a shifter. She may have been at Mal’s side for years the secret of her identity was a shock and more so that she went so long without revealing herself. Haddie wanted to “please” her brother and show she at least tried so she reaches out to Jezebel in an empty offer to hang out. Suddenly trapped with a shifter stuck to her side everywhere when a threat from Jezebel’s past comes knocking and taking, Hadassah keeps to her good ways and goes on the run with Jezebel to protect her.
What will heaven decide? Can Hadassah keep Jezebel safe? Everything and everyone in this series was constantly growing and evolving with each book and seeing where previous couples were throughout this book was a cherry on top of an amazing series. Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes but add in the supernatural, celestial aspects and it’s made all the better as everyone learns that life and the world isn’t black and white. The moment you stop seeing it that way is the moment you truly begin to live a fuller life, a more rewarding life. Naomi Valkyrie is truly one of my favorite authors and I can’t wait to start another one of her books.

This was a great 5 star read. My emotions were all over the place with this one.
I really enjoyed Lydia and Kate’s story. The things these ladies experienced just kicks you in the stomach at times and to watch them grow stronger and become the women they did was great. This is a very special once in a lifetime friendship that we all wish to have. And the journey they took to so many amazing places added to the story. If you want to read a great story with great meaning and friendship this is the one for you. The content can be tough at times due to what is happening at times but it is a truly beautiful read. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I am becoming more and more a fan of Susan Specht Oram! I’ve read a few of her books and have not been disappointed yet!

This is a fast paced thriller involving single mom Irena. She’s been waiting forever on her ex-husband to make amends on back child support. He can’t help but keep buying shoes though! When the two exes end up on a boat together, they both go overboard and only one returns.

A Cold Day in Hell is Book 5 of the Life is Hell series and I continue to love this series so much. I recommend reading this series from the beginning as each book continues the characters in each story and you get more invested…I loved that Hadassah and Jezabel get their story. Angels, demons, shifters, danger, secrets….but chemistry and romance…this story gave me everything that I love….

Haddie is a fallen angel, unfortunately while using her magic when it is prohibited, she has no choice but to serve her probation on Earth. Jezebel is a shifter. and keeps more to herself and her past. You know what they say, the past sometimes can come back…and feeling no longer safe…. Haddie is for the ride with Jezebel. When it all comes down to…will Haddie be able to save Jezebel when she needs her…

Do yourself a favor and check out this series…it definitely is not to be missed!!

What Lies Buried by Leslie Kain. This is such a good read. Its very difficult to read about a very real situation that many people face and we have no idea. Gavin is diagnosed with PTSD complex syndrome and he battles a war in his mind by the minute. His wife Katie tries to be the best support system he can have but at times she is struggling as well. When Gavin returns to Boston to take care of his father’s estate he finds out his family was involved in the mob and that adds to his mental condition. The mob is watching every move he makes. Katie also finds out stuff her mom has hid from her and she begins to realize that she has some trauma herself from her childhood. Will she be able to help Gavin as well as come to terms with her own demons? Gavin is resisting treatment so he is becoming more and more unstable. Such a tough book to read but such a amazing job done in writing it. This is one of the best books I’ve read this year.

Its the story of Justine who has been asked to go to a house of a woman recently departed and see if she has anything worthy of the museum. The actual client is a very grouchy son of the woman deceased. His mom was a actress who never made it huge but to a small town she was their claim to fame. Her stuff might actually be worth something. Also Justine can connect with people that have passed through their possessions. Jackson is only here to clean up his mom’s stuff and close her estate. He sure doesn’t want to catch feelings for anyone so when he starts thinking about Justine constantly he doesn’t know what to do. This book is full of ghosts, family secrets and romance!

The victim was not a well liked person so its going to be even harder for Molly and her gang to solve it. Molly is a hoot and I laughed out loud several times during this fun read. The trouble she and her feline friends get into are often times hilarious. If you love cozy mysteries that will make you laugh out loud and can read in one sitting, then you have found your series.

I am really happy how this one takes me on an adventure during a time that people believed in ghosts and that they are wondering around with us on another plane. While I felt a close connection with the characters in this particular story (mostly the ones who have lost someone) I really wish that I could relate more to Madame Chalamet. If you like the idea of ghost wondering around with you and interacting with you somehow, I feel that this book is definitely for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging YA fantasy story which kept me happily turning the pages. Maddy wasn’t overly pleased with the DNA test she received from her Grams for her birthday, but reluctantly takes the test. She is then shocked to discover that she is one-quarter villain, she didn’t even know it could show up in your blood. She can’t believe the results especially as she always follows all of the rules, from being hyper-aware of traffic laws to following the vague suggestions on posters. Everyone knows that they can depend on Maddy, and that she will always do the right thing in every situation. Maddy wants to discover the truth about her family history but she soon finds herself in the middle of a real-life fairy tale. Suddenly she’s surrounded with magic and mischief but she may also find her HEA that every girl dreams about. Just because she’s a villain by blood doesn’t mean she has to be one, she just has to choose who she will be! This was an entertaining and fun read with an intriguing storyline and quirky characters which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. The characters and the setting were brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative and I felt immersed in the story.
