4 Stars!!!!

Oh man this is just what the doctor ordered. This is the fourth book I have read from this author and
I was not disappointed. The author has such a refreshing and unique series. I was just entertained from beginning to the end. I could not put this book down.

I really felt Jane’s character as she comes to terms with the fact she hit Santa. I just love the fact
that she then becomes his savior. I really enjoy this series and cannot wait for more. I have to admit that this author is definitely in my top ten! I will be reading more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Santa got run over by a vampire is the 4th book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. This is a fantastic short, funny and original book. It revisits the characters from the first book in the series, newly turned vampire Jane and her husband Ethan. It’s Christmas time in New Orleans and Jane has an unfortunate run in with Santa when driving her friend Gaston’s car. She must make the decision on to let Santa die or turn him and try and save Christmas but risk starting a war with the fae in the process. On top of that she must deal with her dad coming to town and trying to explain that she is a vampire! This is a really enjoyable book; it is perfect for reading on a cosy winter night and I really liked it. I have read all the books in this series and I liked going back and finding out more about what Jane had been up too.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Yule Lads Legend by Heidi Herman was a cute little Christmas story! It was a quick read, and a very descriptive tale at that. It was interesting to read another cultures Christmas fable/legend/tale, and to me it was reminiscent of the Twelve Days if Christmas song, but in book form. This story was a retelling, and I will assume it did its job very well, since I haven’t read the original tale before. This was a great Christmas story that I would recommend for kids of all ages during the holiday season.

Santa Got Run Over by a Vampire is part of Carrie Pulkinens New Orleans Nocturnes series.
It’s a novella and is a jam packed short read, perfect for this time of year.
I loved catching up with some familiar faces, especially for some Christmas fun. I’m already a fan of this series and particularly enjoy the humour that runs through all of the books, this story in particular is full of funny moments that will have you laughing out loud.
This was just the pick-me-up I needed at the minute, and the Christmas theme just made it even better!

Love Heels! The TV news business can be murderLove Heels! The TV news business can be murder by Lynne Russell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love Heels is the third book in the PJ Santini series by Lynne Russell. Unfortunately I haven’t read the other books in the series yet and I definitely think I would have enjoyed it more if I had, it took me a little while to get into the story.

PJ Santini is both a news reporter on TV and a private investigator, and this series follows her as she searches for the truth and reports it. The author manages to make the story serious and funny, I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next.
I really loved the characters, the main character is fab, but her friends and family really make the story come to life. I just need to go back and read the rest now!

This is the second book I’ve read by Amy McKinley. I love her ability to create a story and characters instantly. This was a very small book, but still packed the emotion I’ve come to recognize from Amy. Our main female character is Nadia. She’s complicated and I don’t want to give too much away. Our main male character is Cade. He’s a sweet man who loves with his whole heart and you can’t help but adore. I do wish this was a bit of a longer story, but I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie: A Gripping Thriller (Jake Wolfe Book 1) by Mark Nolan
4 out of 5 Stars
This book is the first in the Jake Wolfe series and let me tell you that it is very fast-paced. I love crime, drama, mystery, and murder genres. But the book had my head reeling. This wasn’t at all bad at times. I loved the fast action most of the time. Similar to when you are watching a good movie and the fight scene is just THAT good. But I did find myself having to go back and reread a few portions to figure out something because there was much to the plot that I could not remember it all. However, having said all that, If I was ever in trouble, I would want Jake Wolfe to come to bail me out, because, dang. That man can really help a girl out. Jake is a war vet who is determined to protect those around him from the trouble that seems to find him.
This is a good book for lovers of mysteries, suspense, action, and adventure. The character dialogue is hilarious and the action is fast.

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her. She continues to impress me with her writing skills and her attention to details. This book is no different. This is a shorter story that is full of the Christmas spirit and second chances. I loved the characters and how they brought the story to life. This is Archer and Ally’s story. They have a past together. They had it all until he left and never looked back. Now that he is back in town, will he realize his one mistake? Ally’s world is about to be turned upside down. What will fate have in store for these two? Is there forgiveness and second chances in their future? I loved this story and the warm fuzzies you get from reading it. This is a great holiday story that I highly recommend. You don’t want to miss this one!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed from beginning to end. I look forward to seeing what more this author has in the future. This is a paranormal story that is fast paced and engaging. It has a little bit of everything in it from romance to mystery. The characters pulled me into the story and kept me turning pages. I had no problem connecting to them as they brought the story to life. This is a story about Revel who is part of a pack where she is controlled and lives in the one place she feels free, the forest. What will happen when hikers turn up missing in her forest? There are rumors that there are wolves in the area, is Revel and her pack in danger? On top of that, she is starting to fall for a human which is forbidden. She has so many secrets. What will happen if these secrets are found out? I really enjoyed this book and found it to be entertaining. I enjoyed the mystery and a few times had me on the edge of my seat. This made such a great afternoon read. I highly recommend this book.

This was a great festive read. We are back with our favourite vampire couple and their friend Gaston  as they overcome some more trouble in their path.

First obstacle comes when Jane runs over Santa. An accident she never expected but the only way to save him is to turn him into a vampire. Can she turn the jolly man into a creature of the night? What would be her punishment if she did? Or more importantly what would happen if she just left him to die?

The second obstacle Ethan and Jane have to face is breaking the news to Janes father that not only are they married but that Jane is now an undead vampire.
How will Jane’s father react? Will he accept his daughter as she is now or will he turn his back on her and Ethan.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. This is a science fiction story that is entertaining and the characters keep things engaging. This is a well developed story that is fast paced and kept me turning pages to the end. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the first chapter. The characters are connectable and some are full of magic. This is a story about three teenagers that need to accept each other no matter the differences and they all have one goal. There is a boy who doesn’t believe in aliens, then you have an alien that only thinks about Earth and there is a girl who is a robot. Together they learn to fight differences and learn respect for all things. This is a really great story to teach that everyone is different in their own way and that differences are good. The characters made the story fun to read and I highly recommend it to all.

The reader is hooked from the very first page until the last.
I cannot wait to see what the next book brings and how much it will develop.

Love Heels by Lynne Russell is a laid back easy on the brain kind of mystery. The story moves along at a nice little pace. I love the main character P.J. Santini. She is just so real. She knows who she is, and she is happy with it. I love the everyday way that Russell writes. P.J.’s family is what most families are like, but they don’t want anyone to know. I love P.J.s family and friends and the neighborhood she grew up in. The dialogue kept me smiling all through the book. Yes there is mystery, yes there is I intrigue and danger but Russell manages to make it seem like just another day. I can’t help it after reading this book I just felt good all over, you will too.

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink was an absolutely incredible read! I was enthralled from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down. I almost finished it in one whole sitting, it was so good! This book could definitely be traumatic for some, and a huge trigger for people who have experienced domestic assault of all cases. But this is definitely a book worth reading. The author does such a good job of describing domestic abuse, and the thoughts and feelings behind survivors. I was very wary of being triggered myself reading this book, but I took the plunge anyway and I’m so glad I did! I think everyone should read this book at least once. This is one that will definitely resonate with you long after you read the last page. This thriller of a novel is definitely one of my new favorites now. A giant kudos Willink for this book.

It is also full of intrigue and danger as Sloane and her masked vigilante team try to keep the city safe from a new drug that keeps on spreading. There is one person however who thought he had left the dark life behind, but it is the beautiful woman that sees him once again hiding in the shadows.
