Hell In A Handbasket (Life is Hell #3)Hell In A Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the ‘Life is Hell’ series and I couldn’t be more ecstatic to be reading more of Naomi’s fabulous writing! Since falling into this series it has really been a wild ride.
The series started with Delilah moving into a small town and falling into the hearts of Malakhi and Caspian then goes into depth about Sheridan and Millicent’s sweet tale and then enters Teivel and Oren. I really enjoyed the first book ‘No rest for the wicked’ and the second book ‘Hell hath No fury’ stole my heart but this book…well it grabbed me by the front of the shirt and wouldn’t let me go.
I found Oren so easy to love, much like Millicent. He’s gentle, sweet, caring and I love reading his internal thoughts about being attracted to Teiven. Teiven is a demon and is easy to hate but still wanting more from him. Meshing these two fire crackers together… I never knew how badly I needed their chaos in my life.
I found this series to be so entertaining and I can’t praise it enough. The characters are a work of art, the writing is divine and I want more!

Hell Hath No Fury (Life is Hell #2)Hell Hath No Fury by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I couldn’t be more grateful that I fell into this series. I took a chance on a demon story, thinking that was all that it is. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I’ll be honest when I say the first book ‘No rest for the wicked’ caught my eye but this book stole my heart.
I fell in love with Millicent, the deputy and adorable human, from the first book. She’s easy to like and I knew there would be growth to her. Another character that comes back in and makes a grand appearance is Sheridan, Delilah’s eccentric friend. The story explores these opposites lusting after each other and having no idea what to do about it either.
I love the LGBTQ+ representation from book one and book two. I’m also falling in love with Naomi Valkyrie’s story telling. For I adore how she writes high tension between characters and leaves you waiting for what will come next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Even though I’m drawn to all things supernatural, I must admit, I have not read many demon stories. But there is always a first time for everyone and I couldn’t be more happy that I took the plunge and found this gem!
It has everything and more that I could ask for. A great story line, easy to read, a page turner with a dash of romance between three amazing characters.
Truly highly recommend this for all my supernatural lovers!

A Hole (Alpha Bet Guys Book 1)A Hole by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was a little worried when I read the description of this story because it didn’t really grab me, and I thought that I was going to be bored. Happy to report that I wasn’t, this story is funny and sweet and absolutely delivers on its promise of a good laugh. I actually think it’s quite difficult to write genuinely funny stories, but Alexander nails it.
Ace is a comedian and Ella Craig is a bank teller, not exactly what everyone would call a match made in heaven, but Ace thinks she’s wonderful and wants her to realise how wonderful they could be together. He invites her to one of his comedy shows and bets her that if he can make her laugh then she has to go out for a drink with him. But Ace’s four friends, with their best intentions and somewhat questionable advice, may threaten to put a spanner in the works for their budding romance.
I genuinely liked this book and Alexander writes her characters with flair, Ace’s narrative was quippy and fun and was perfect for a cheeky comedian. With Ella’s narrative her you definitely got her sensitive side and her reluctance to trust people, and she is funny too. It’s a lot subtler and less in your face than Ace’s which I think I preferred. Again, I recommend this story and would read more of Alexander’s work especially if I want a laugh.

Hell In A Handbasket (Life is Hell Book 3) by Naomi Valkyrie

Hell In A Handbasket is the third book in the Life is Hell series by Naomi Valkyrie. I will say this although these can be read as standalones I however would highly recommend reading this series in order as each book the characters build and you get to learn more about them plus the stories flow so nicely.

Hungry Business: A Short StoryHungry Business: A Short Story by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a very short story about dating whilst trying to avoid zombies. It was rather bizarre as it is written in 2nd person, and to be honest it’s not a style of writing I really enjoy.
The story takes the reader through a series of dinner dates, whilst trying to avoid being turned into a zombie.
I got the feeling that it was reflecting on dating in general, and that dating is dangerous regardless of potential zombies, that you have to be careful of the situation you put yourself in.
I liked the ending, it really suited the story.

A Hole (Alpha Bet Guys Book 1)A Hole by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ace is just getting his career on the comedy circuit but once he sees Ella in the bank he feels he needs to get to know this woman.

Ella is flattered with the attraction and accepts the bet which Ace has placed down but when her friend explains that Ace maybe a player, Ella’s decision changes.

This story is full of humour and is a brilliant short story, the characters are well developed as usual and although this is a short story it does not feel like that, you want to know more. The story revolves around Ella and Ace, with him trying to make her laugh but with her insecurities on high alert as to will she be the butt of the joke.

I love Phoebe’s writing style and this is not the first book I have read and it surely will not be the last one.

I got this book because of the cover….
I was not disappointed, from the first chapter this book grabs your attention. With a shocking prison break in the very first chapter I just knew that this was going to be one suspenseful and action packed rollercoaster ride of a book.
Color me surprised when I found out this was the second book in a series. So this can definitely be read as a standalone. I’m reading the first book next.

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III was an interesting 4 star read.
I was pulled in right away with the authors writing. This is a different genre than I’m used to and I really enjoyed it.

Hell in a Handbasket is the third book in the Life Is Hell series by Naomi Valkyrie. Although you don’t have to read the first two books in this series, I highly recommend you do. The characters are amazing and Naomi’s writing just keeps getting better and better. This book was my favorite of hers so far. Her attention to details is intricate. This book grabbed me and I couldn’t put it down until I read the last page. I highly recommend this book, series and author.

Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #2)Bound by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bound By Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Book 2) by Amy McKinley has secrets, tragedy, an abusive ex-boyfriend, family relationships, and some twisted logic in the part of one character. This book is about Jaxson a recently retired Navy Seal and Kayla who finds herself in an abusive relationship and runs away to hide. Jaxson and Kayla have unresolved feeling for each other from when they were kids. The night they finally got together as teens, Kayla’s brother died in a tragic accident and things got kind of messy. Although Kayla was holding onto a lot of anger and hurt, she reaches out to Jaxson for help with Roy and how much danger she is in.

The story is well written and kept my attention. Jaxson and his brothers were in the first book so it was nice to have that background. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

This is a book full of plots twists and action-packed. It has plenty of suspense and intensity right from the beginning. The connection between Dolan and Daught is romantic but they definitely go through a lot, both together but also in terms of their past and backstory. So I really enjoyed following their journey. This is a bit of a thriller/paranormal which is not normally my kind of genre, but I did enjoy this nail-biting rollercoaster ride of a book.

Hungry Business: A Short Story by Maria DeBlassie is a lot packed into just a few pages. What would dating look like during a world taken over by zombies? A young woman is trying to find that someone special but will they be warm or cold when she finds them is the question broached by this short story. The horrors of the dating world and the horrors of being a human in a zombie-infested world make a new twist on the traditional first date story. This is a very quick read with a bit of horror and humor. I really enjoyed this quick read and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T.Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this book interesting to read because it deals with the harsh reality that marriage isn’t always perfect and happy…it takes a lot of work!
Kris and Nicole’s story is told from both sides….which took a couple chapters to get used to. However, once I did, I found it intriguing to see the story from both sides. Kris is in love with his wife…but wishes she would give as much effort to her family as she does to her job. Nicole is a workaholic who is trying to please her boss, at the expense of her family.
There were times that I found myself disliking both Kris and Nicole…only to come to the realization that this is real life. Relationships take constant work and failure to work at it, or let it sit idly on the sidelines, will cause to to begin to crumble.
This book is not a quick read…but it is worth it. I would set the book down and come back to it to see how their story would conclude. It just drew me in and I felt invested as the story continued. Overall, a good read!

This is a fantasy novel and comes in around 230 pages. This does touch a bit on rape, so reader beware as this could be a trigger for some. This story follows Ben, Clint, and Claire as they grow up together. They were all supposed to grow up and become something. But one fateful night proves to change their lives forever. I felt this was a great coming of age story and the choices younger ones must make and the possible impacts of their future.

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This book has my two favorite genres, second chance and military romance. This storyline exceeded all my expectations. This is the second book of the addictive series of Deadly Isles Special Ops. They don’t need to be read in order but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not put this book down until the end and I can’t wait to read the next book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this fun and steamy novella by one of my favourite authors, Phoebe Alexander. I loved the main characters, comedian Ace Bennett and Ella Craig, the lady he invites to his comedy show. Ace then dares Ella that if he succeeds in making her laugh she has to have a drink with him. I was really cheering Ace and Ella on hoping they would get a happy ending after lots of meddling from friends and a number of misunderstandings. This was a lovely romance with a bit of drama and plenty of steamy scenes and a chemistry which sizzled off the page. All of which resulted in me reading the story in one sitting. An enjoyable and engaging short read, perfect for some escapism.

Hell In A Handbasket (Book Three of the Life Is Hell series) by Naomi Valkyrie was a great read! The paranormal misfit family is back! Or at least I see them as a bunch of paranormal misfits that shouldn’t work out together but for all intents and purposes they do. Each book in this series I think gets better and better. I enjoy learning about more of the characters through each book in this series. This book had me laughing with the funny antics of Larkspur. I can’t wait to read more of him in the next book! I love the inclusivity of this series as well. This is quickly becoming a favorite! I can’t wait for the next installment!

This is the first book in the Born Of Darkness series and wow what a start. I love anything to do with vampires so this book was perfect for me. I really liked the adult theme in the relationship between our strong female character and the male vampires.

Dawn knows something is different about her but she doesn’t know what that is. After a run in with what she believes was a human serial killer she is shocked when she realises its a vampire and that another vampire saves her.

Now with the hive of the dead vampire after them Silas knows they have to leave and keep Dawn safe. Not everyone in his hive is happy with that idea especially not their leader Markula.

As they leave to escape the vampires after them the relationships between them grows and they learn that by being with Dawn their powers are increasing which is just as well if they are to defeat the forces against them.

Can they face the odds and win? What is Dawn? Is she human or something more? Can their love survive or will Dawn be the death of them all?

This is a quick funny and steamy read which, while it is book 1 in the Alpha Bet Guys series, it can be read as a standalone.
