My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alicia Gray has the perfect life, perfect corporate lawyer husband, perfect home, perfect daughters, perfect best friend. Or does she? When Alicia finds out all is not as it seems in her perfect life and she begins to receive messages from someone claiming to know secrets about her husband, will her own secrets be spilled?
I found this story absolutely gripping. I really enjoyed getting to know the different characters of the book and the inter relationships between them all are very cleverly written. The book is fast paced which I liked as it keeps the suspense factor without lingering too long. I really didn’t see the end coming!

I enjoyed listening to this audio.  The narrator’s voice made the story easy to listen too.  They brought life to the story and I could easily see the characters.   I enjoyed them, I found myself easily connecting to them. In this story Crimson’s spells always go bad. When the high priestess threatens to bind her powers, her reaction is to challenge her to a battle that she doesn’t have a chance to win. What will happen when a demon named Mike makes a deal that could change everything for Crimson?  The characters had great chemistry and I enjoyed them.  I highly recommend this audio, it is worth the listen too.

Blue Summer Part One- Everly Taylor

5-stars

Blue Summer was the first book I’ve read by this author but it certainly won’t be my last! I had no idea what to expect when I dove into this one but this storyline far exceeded anything I could have hoped for. It’s so detailed, entertaining, intense and oh so steamy! I was captivated right from the get go and ended up reading this book in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading.

This author took me on such a beautifully described journey, one that I wouldn’t mind living in. The story is written with so much detail that I could easily picture everything playing out in my mind, which kept me highly entertained. I cannot wait to continue reading this storyline with Part Two.

If you are looking for a one of a kind read look no futher, this is the book for you!

What a rollercoster ride of an ending. I just could not put this book down as it is the fifth book in this series I have read. Man I just love how the author was able to mix the drama and story. I sure was on the edge of my seat to see how it would all end.

I definitely was not disappointed and I felt as though I was right in the thick of the drama. I like how the plot twisted. I could definitely feel the main character’s emotions and was sad to see that this is the last. I would definitely read more from this author.

I’ve never read Danielle Jacks until this book and I feel like have been missing out. I am a fan of my brother’s best friend tropes. This one though it was slightly different with the brother and best friend on the outs and their relationship started out as revenge for Damien and a cover for Zoe. The chemistry between the two is *insert me doing a chef’s kiss* perfection. How will everything play out you ask? You will need to grab your own copy of this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have never read a book by this author previously, but I found it to be very intriguing once I got into the first few chapters. I thought that her way of developing the characters was different but in a positive way. There was a lot of mystery, secrets and lies. No one could be trusted and just when you thought you knew what was about to happen a curve in the road lie ahead to throw you off course. It was a mystery. A puzzle that you had to put together and the last piece wouldn’t be put into place until she was ready. I really didn’t feel a huge connection with any of the characters but could sympathize with them with their dark pasts. If you love books that will keep you on the edge of your seat right up until the end, then this is the right book for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Walker Pride is the first book in the Walker Family Series by Bernadette Marie. I had only previously read 1 book by this author but I had really enjoyed it and was looking forward to reading the start of a new series.
I really enjoyed this first book. This could end up being a very long series as the Walkers are one very big family and I’m sure all will have great stories to tell. AS the book continued more and more siblings, cousins etc were added to the clan.
In this book we get the story of the Eldest brother Eric. At risk of losing everything he has worked for due to a bet made by his Uncle, he’s determined to do everything possible to save his house and livelihood. He doesn’t have room for distractions but can’t help be extremely distracted by the beautiful Susan Hayes, the caterer at his Grandfather’s funeral.
I adored Eric and Susan’s story. There is so much more than just a romance story in this book. There is danger, drama and intrigue as well as feuding families. Susan and Eric are both great characters to read and I could have read about the two of them for hours and hours. This story was highly entertaining and keeps you gripped to the storyline to see what happens next.
Definitely recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blue men with no women of their kind. Mushroom houses. An evil sorcerer.
Meeting the Zayed changes Lillie’s life forever. An accidental encounter causes her to be kidnapped by the evil sorcerer. He thinks she knows more than she does. I love Lillie, she is a strong, independent woman who knows how to take care of herself. She isn’t a woman that needs to be rescued. Where does she fit in with the Zayed community? Why does she feel as if she belongs when she hasn’t felt as if she belonged anywhere her entire life.
I really enjoyed the characters and the relationships she developed. The book is during a 48 hour period so everything happens very quickly. Heath, Clay, Brian, and Chief are very well developed and I felt connected. The book ends on a total cliffhanger, but I was totally engrossed. I had to know what happened and immediately bought book two and finished it right after book one.

This was a great read and I’m excited to continue reading the next book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. The characters were likable and I appreciated the back story the author gave to both. It added to the sense of mystery and kept the book even more entertaining and interesting. It was full of romance and suspense that had me trying to figure out the intertwining storylines and who was the ultimate villain in the book. Easy writing style that alternated viewpoints between the main characters kept me engaged as well. Great book!

Twisted, intense and heartracingly brilliant. Devoured in one sitting. This book is the stunning conclusion to an epic series. All the breadcrumbs that were so skilfully laid out throughout the series are finally revealed and come together in a final showdown. This story drags you in, tumbles you about and squeezes your heart. I was so enamoured by the characters and the suspense had me holding my breath, I just kept turning the pages right til the end. A must read, I highly recommend this series.

Luce Eterna: Part 1: Book 5, The Luminara Series by SJ Molloy is dark and erotic but is quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. Heart officially broken! Sobbing is a given so stock up on those tissues. SJ once again puts these characters through dark, raw and tumultuous times that would break even the strongest of people. With even more twists and secrets, angst, and turmoil I was engrossed and enthralled. SJ’s writing style turns her stories into page turners and become addictive.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

THE DEVOTED FAN (21st Century Courtesan Book 5) by P.S. DuMond is the end of the series and I have been waiting with bated breath for it to come out. As Pamela says each of the stories are a blend of dark romance, psychological suspense, and domestic thriller. Reading the books in order is a must to get the full effect of the characters and what is going on plus each book ends with a cliff hanger.

Pamela has woven even more multi-layers in story line with lots of emotions and complexities, and it all comes to a tumultuous head. You never know where Pamela will take you with her wonderful story telling. I have said it before, but it is as true for this book as the others. It is as dangerous as it is mysterious, and as it is sexy as it is suspenseful. It is dramatic, and it is captivating in its uniqueness. It is also hot and full of lust and love, and loyalty but it is also full of danger and an unknown threat.

Evie’s tragic childhood has shaped her life. She is an empath who uses it to help others and is much sought after for her specific talents.

3.5 stars

Chameleon by Zoe Kalo is a dark and eerie YA paranormal (or is it?) story. We are faced with the usual angst that YA’s go through plus each of them have very dark secrets. Please be aware that there are trigger issues such as mental health issues, rape, and psychological manipulation.

I found myself confused and I struggled to read some parts due to the way it was written and had to go back and re read them. The premise is good, but it felt like at times we needed a little more detail to make this story and the characters really shine and make this a great story. However, the mystery and suspense keep you wanting to know what is going on.

Lillie is human and she was having a bad day when two big blue guys come into her life. Zayed are blue people that Lillie has only heard rumors about, but finds herself entangled with. This book is full of magic, suspense, adventure and big blue men. This short story was intriguing and I will keep my eye out for other book by Ms. Taylor.

Apocalypse NOPE!!Apocalypse NOPE!! by Deidre Huesmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Apocalypse Nope! by Deidre Huesmann is an LGBTQ+ YA/teen comedic romance novel. The teen angst of the main character Ivy-Jean took me back to my teen years (insert MCR songs now please) and yet the quips of humor were ongoing subtle perfection. A delightful spin on the apocalypse with modern-day details bringing it to life. So if you like an apocalypse-themed read this one is for you. The author has their version of the four horsemen, or rather, the four horsepeople of the apocalypse and they are my favorites of the whole book. I loved it every step, or rather, page turn of the way. That being said, be aware if you have arachnophobia (*raising my own hand*) there are indeed spiders literally crawling on Ivy-Jean. Albeit some actually come quite cute; Like Ivy-Jean’s fuzzy little friend, Spinderella. Having called forth the horsepeople she now has the conflicting task of bringing about the apocalypse. Her creative solution to the scenario they end up in is interesting. I also enjoy the character growth of Ivy-Jean throughout the story. This story is well-suited for the YA/teen group, with subtle romance, fun characters, and a humorous spin at the end of days. I also think New Adult age-ranged fans would enjoy this read as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel, but wanted to love and roll my eyes at the melodrama that comes with being a teenager from the main character Cat. Another great thing about this book is the recipes that are included after each chapter! They made me want to start baking while I was reading this novel. I thought this was a very cute and sweet book and I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

Lexi and Luca face so many difficult things as parents, things that will test their strength, love and courage. I will admit that Lexi had me frustrated on so many levels, I felt bad for Luca quite a bit. I really don’t want to say much more because I don’t want to give anything away. Be prepared for another cliffhanger that will leave you wanting the next book now. I have come to really enjoy this author’s books, she does a great job with her writing. I will warn that there are some things that may cause triggers for some. 1-click and get started on this series today.

First off, the title to this book is spot on! I read the whole book in one night. Once I started, I couldn’t stop. There were so many twists and turns that you never knew what was going to happen next. It was thrilling.
The author shined some light on some metal illness which as someone who also suffers from mental illness was very captivating for me. It helped me to connect to the main character Paloma. She was struggling to understand what was real and what was in her head which just added to the darkness of the book.
It was very well written and easy to connect with the characters.
I would highly recommend reading this title if you are looking for a mysterious and dark quick read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chased (A Cambridge Men of Honor Book One): A Dark Mafia Bad Boy Romance by Felicity Brandon has all the trimmings of what one could hope for in a dark romance. It’s a first-person read told from the point of view of our two leading characters. Alegra is a lawyer with a strong personality and do-good moral compass who finds herself enthralled with a villainous male, Chase. Opposites attract indeed; he is the leader of the largest crime organization in Britain (albeit with the world at his fingertips). I actually appreciate that in sticking with the theme his character is true to what one would expect of someone involved in organized crime without all sugar-coating the character for the sake of making them more likable. Honestly in that position of power being a softy would make you weak and a target. So if you have any interest in organized crime historically you might appreciate that. The story is a page-turner and recommended for adults who enjoy a true “bad boy” type fictional character.
