Hell In A Handbasket (Life is Hell Book 3) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Kerry Baker

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

Hell In A Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie is the third book in the Life Is Hell series. This is another absolutely fantastic addition to such an incredible series. I was to excited to start reading this book after after enjoying the previous two so much. This book immediately became my favourite of the series – if not one of my favourites from the author. I love how connected I feel to all the characters, how that relationship has been built up from book 1 to now. It makes it so easy to slip straight back into their story, to feel like you are right there with them.
This book was just so well written. There was a level of detail in it that you don’t see from many books. I found myself so caught up in what was happening that I didn’t expect the twist when it came.
If you aren’t yet familiar with this author or this series I would suggest rectifying they today – you definitely won’t regret it.

I want to start this off by saying i don’t usually read Sci-Fi, But this took me on a journey, and i was hooked from the very start of this book.

This book is definitely one of my new favorites, Having deeply reminded me of some of my favorite series when i was younger. I absolutely loved this book, this authors attention to detail, the character development, all of it from start to beginning! I recommend this book wholeheartedly, and can’t want to get my hands on more from this author!

Coyote Summer – Laura Koerber

4-stars

Coyote Summer is truly the most unique book I’ve read in a very long time. It’s a coming-of-age story full of unexpected, intriguing and surprising moments. The story is written from the main characters POV, and I thought the author did a great job in portraying the young man’s thoughts and feelings. They seemed really true and honest for someone with his status and age.

Though I enjoyed this book I did at times feel lost and unsure of how everything was going to be connected as there are some magical realism aspects thrown into the storyline. They certainly weren’t my favorite part but they definitely kept me intrigued the whole way through.

I really enjoyed how this story kept me on my toes and had me feeling all kinds of emotions from start to finish. It’s a story I’ll never forget!

I enjoyed this story. It may be a trigger for some but if you are able to get past the subject, it truly is a great story. This is a story about a group of kids that society expected to be promident adults like their parents. What will happen when one tragic incident changes things for them? This story is written with a lot of emotion and I felt that through the characters as they bring the story to life. I had no problems connecting with them as they go through consequences of one person’s actions. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

Well that was a little bit of a surprise. Vance to be honest I don’t like his character or attitude. This book had many twist and turns to be honest it took me a few chapters to get into it. It a very clean Romance and adds in dark elements relating to slavery which was unexpected. I wish there was more to this story as I felt the ending was abrupt.

Coyote SummerCoyote Summer by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

Coyote Summer by Laura Koerber is another original story with plenty of thought provoking content. Again, Ms. Koerber brings a realism and complete believability to her story- making you feel as if this actually happened. I was completely engrossed right off the bat.
The story does centre around a sensitive topic, rape- but Ms. Koerber doesn’t use it gratuitously, but it is central to the story as a whole. This is ultimately a magical realism coming of age story- with drama, angst, and a first-person POV.
Ms. Koerber takes a different approach here, giving us the perspective of the male witness to a rape, Ben- as he struggles with what he saw, did, and didn’t do. His struggle with how to deal with it all is what really sets this book apart, and made for an intriguing read.
This story is an unusual blend of a character study, fantasy, coming of age, crime, a little mystery, and magical realism. I wasn’t sure of what I would make of it when I purchased it- but having read some of the author’s previous work I thought I would take a chance, and I am glad that I did.

Thank you, Laura Koerber!

Hungry Business: A Short StoryHungry Business: A Short Story by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

Hungry Business: A Short Story by Maria DeBlassie. This is a very short story- but with Ms. DeBlassie’s clever touches, it feels like a much longer novel- in the best possible way. The story is original, interesting, and a little quirky. I felt this was a little bit of a tongue in cheek look at loneliness and the lengths people will go to find ‘the one’- even in the aftermath of a Zombie pandemic. But, on a side note- I personally don’t think that people have to be ‘Zombies’ to display the characteristics/actions our MC comes up against in her quest for love (lol).
Ms. DeBlassie paints a vivid picture- her world building talents coming to the fore. She has a bold and dynamic style that takes hold of your imagination and pulls you into the story- tugging you along for the ride. Her attention to detail and rich descriptions adds to the texture and visual quality of her work.
This was such an intriguing piece- with things left a little ‘open’ for more. So I really hope Ms. DeBlassie revisits this in the future as I feel there is a bigger story to be told- and I am hungry for more.

Thank you, Maria DeBlassie!

Gunner: An Eidolon Black Ops Novel by Maddie Wade – Review by Angela Hayes

Gunner (Eidolon Black Ops #6)Gunner by Maddie Wade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4 ½ Stars

Gunner is the sixth book in the Eidolon Black Ops series by Maddie Wade. This is a romantic suspense- with plenty of drama, action, adventure, danger, chemistry, surprising developments, thrills, intrigue, mystery, romance, redemption, and emotion. I have read quite a few of Ms. Wades stories now and have a pretty good idea of what to expect- but she always manages to keep things interesting and fresh. From the very first page, until the last word, I was hooked- I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting, loving every minute.
This story also pulls together threads from previous books, as well as dealing with the underlying storyline which has bridged the series. There is so much that comes to light- bringing plenty of emotion with it.
I really felt for Gunner and what he’d been through- he’s carried so much guilt, grief, and self-loathing for so long- and the secrets/truths that are revealed brought so much perspective- and made me see things in a new light.
Loved Gunner and Lacey so much!
Can’t wait to see what Ms. Wade has in store for us next!

Thank you, Maddie Wade!

Gunner (Eidolon Black Ops #6) by Maddie Wade was a great 5 star read.
I was excited to finally get Gunner’s story.

This was a heart wrenching story, especially when we learn more about why Gunner made the choices he did. Lacey originally met Gunner when the Eidolon team saved her from her ex. When they come face-to-face again you can feel the connection between them.

Can Lacey and Gunner move forward from their pasts and have a HEA? Will the Eidolon team forgive Gunner for his choices?

Overall this was a great read. My emotions were all over the place. We get suspense, drama, action and so much more. All of the characters added a great element to the story. We also get lots of twists and turns. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. This can be read as a stand alone but I highly suggest reading from the beginning so you can meet all of the characters. If you’re looking for a great series, 1-click and get started on this one today.

Mythical Alliance is six books of fantastic fantasy by Claire Luana. This book is great because we get a complete story that is broken down in six shorter reads. This is not my first book by Ms. Luana, but it is my new favorite. I enjoyed the storyline, it was full of action, adventure and mystery. I was hooked through the whole series. The characters and world building is so descriptive, it make you feel like you are there next to Zariya, helping to solve the mystery of her father’s death. The story flowed smoothly and the witty banter had me laughing out loud. If you love a good paranormal fantasy, this is a great book for you.

Is This Me? (Being Me Book 1) by Tricia Copeland. I’ve recently been introduced to this awesome author and I’ve enjoyed most I’ve read so far, but I have to say this is probably my favorite so far. The characters are complex and relatable, they easily pulled me right into their world. I liked getting lost in this story, it’s a wonderful coming of age story that kept me engaged the entire book. Couldn’t put this one down. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Coming of age books can sometimes make me frustrated because the characters do things that make me want to smack them but I also think that’s a true feeling on how well the story is written because you feel strongly. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Four stars and highly recommended.

The main characters worked so well together. They were both damaged and flawed and both so in need of the other. This really is an amazing book that you would urge you to read straight away.
