Absolute must read! I was hooked in the first chapter and could not put the book down. I love the way that C. A. King writes and how well the story flows. I am a sucker for holiday romances and this one is no exception! The author jumps right into the story and keeps you reading to see what happens next between Luke and Julietta. I highly recommend High Heels and Mistletoe for a feel good romance. I can’t wait to read more from King!

Vampire State by Alexander Charalambides Four Stars
Vampire State is a paranormal/vampire book by Alexander Charalambides. This Is the first book I have read by Mr. Charalambides, but definitely won’t be the last. This story was full of twists and turns and had me hooked from the very first page. I read long into the night just to see what path Rowena would take. Rowena is a strong character that has to make some hard decisions. I enjoyed the political aspects that are approved in this book. This was a greasy read and I look forward to read the next book in the series. Review by @sunbarn

Murder Makes Waves is the third book in the Jack and Frances Mystery series by Carmen Radtke. This is my first read by Ms. Radtke, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into the book. I was definitely intrigued and as I love a good cozy mystery, I happily snapped up a copy to explore. The story is a cleverly woven historical murder mystery set in 1931, on a cruise ship on the high seas. The story is full of danger, jealousy, deception, murder, theft, crime & investigation- and with a cunning adversary to deal with. I enjoyed meeting Jack and Frances, along with Uncle Sal, Aunt Mildred, the other secondary characters, and of course Tinkerbell the Corgi. Even though this is the third book in the series, it can definitely be read as a standalone, without feeling like you are missing any details. The characters did intrigue me enough to want to go back and read the other two books to see what Jack and Frances have been up to previously. I am sure to learn a great deal more about them, as well as backstory information that I am looking forward to discovering. A fun read.

City Without a Sun by Alexander Charalambides is the second book in the Vampire State Series. I recommend reading the books in order because the story is building throughout the series. This is an action and mystery packed adventure. The characters are great and the development through the series has been wonderful. I am really enjoying reading about Rowena and the path she is taking. This book kept me up late because I just had to see how it would end. I really enjoy how the author is taking the vampire story and making it his own. I look forward to reading more in this series and from this author in the future.

Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2)by Manda Mellett
5 out of 5 stars
I have read quite a few books written by Ms. Mellett and her writing just gets better with each book. I love how thorough she is with her descriptions if it’s of the club house and compound or just the people in general. I loved how she describe Grumbler’s motorcycle. These guys are not just a bunch of misfits that come together it is a brotherhood.
Grumbler is the Sergeant -at- arms he has given his club more years of his life than he cares to remember. His life is settled and just the way he likes it. He thinks he is too old to change now.
Grumbler is asked to use his motorcycle in a photo shoot while there he meets Mary and her 17yr old daughter Alicia. Grumbler finds out that they were conned out of money for such said photo shoot for a book cover that he contacts Alicia and her mother Mary and told them he would take care of I and get their money. So, after Alicia calls Grumbler for help after a bad experience with a male model they all become close.
Mary is a single mother to a 17yrold daughter names Alicia who keeps her on her toes. Alicia thinks she knows everything she’s not quite adult, but doesn’t see herself as a child, constantly pushing at boundaries. She spends most of her time trying to stay one step ahead of her and it’s not easy.
So now he is chasing the photographer for none-payment sends things in a spiral turn that throws Grumbler and Mary together. As the MC investigates the photographer things come to light that they need to call the Utah chapter. Grumbler is not happy about this because he still does not trust them after their antics came to light.
I highly recommend this book/series…. Tracy @tracym

Blood of the Dragon is the fourth book in the Relic Hunters series by Martin Ferguson. It is a superb addition to the series and is my favourite of the books, so far. This is another fantastic young adult adventure- with plenty of action, thrills, drama, mystery, danger, historical details, investigation; while once again giving us a wonderfully complex and engrossing storyline. I have mentioned before, and will probably do so many more times- but this series would make a really great movie, or TV series- as well as the possibility of an exciting adventure game for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, or other gaming system. There is so much going on in this book- the author reallly upped the ante on this one, really putting the characters through the wringer. I don’t want to give anything away as I don’t want to spoil it for you. Suffice to say that this action-packed adventure kept me glued to the pages from beginning to end. I really recommend this series to anyone who loves YA, adventure, and history. Even though you could read this as a standalone, I recommend that you read the previous 3 books before starting on this one- as this is definitely a series you won’t want to miss a minute of. Looking forward to more Relic Hunters adventures!

The Dog Thief and Oher Stories by Jill Kearney is a collection of 12 short stories capturing the connection between humans and our four pawed companions. These stories are drawn from the authors own experiences as a dog rescuer and carer. The stories are heartachingly poignant- with a very realistic and honest account capturing both human and animal in all too-real situations. This is not a light and fluffy read- there are moments of true heartache and emotion, but amongst it all are also messages of compassion, hope, determination, resilience, and survival. The stories are written to highlight the need for more focus on animal rights, welfare, and rescue. It also captures the connection between humans and animals, and how caring for one another and forming a bond with our furry companions can stabilise and really enrich lives.
The stories in the collection are: -The Dog Thief -Sparrows -Beverley and Jim -Arnie’s Last Ride -The Christmas Rats -The Angel -The Collie -Beer Money -The Quest -Ordinary Housework -Driving While Remembering
The author has a wonderful way with words, easily conveying realism and emotion. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for more of her work to explore.

Grumbler’s Ride: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2 by Manda Mellet
I have loved every one of the Satan’s Devils books I have read, but think San Diego is my favorite of the branches at least so far. I can relate age wise with first Patsy and now Mary. Don’t get me wrong, I love the stories about the younger members it’s nice to have someone in my age range that I can relate to more.
As the mother of two daughters this story stressed me out. I have no idea what I would have done in Mary’s shoes. I do think it wouldn’t have been the same since I don’t have a hot biker in my life.
I cannot get enough of this series and can’t wait for the next book to be released.

This is the second book in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego chapter from Manda Mellett, and it quickly turned into one of my favorites of all time of hers. Grumbler’s Ride will knock your emotions out of the ballpark and tear you to pieces before it slowly and tenderly puts you back together. Manda Mellett has this special talent of making her books carry a message and bring to light difficult topics that need to be in the spotlight more. I won’t give away much on the twist to this because I don’t want to ruin it for you. I will say Mellett did a wonderful job yet again, writing about a horrible situation and making it very very relatable. I can’t say enough good things about this book so I will keep it short and sweet. This is a must read if you love MC novels and books with heart and soul woven in every word that graces the pages. I cannot wait to see what the next book will bring us! I think I will go back and re-read this sucker while I wait again, it was that good, I need more! Thank you for the fabulous read here Ms. Mellett!

Scepter of Flint (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 3) by N.L. Holmes is another is a historical mystery story set in ancient Egypt with Lord Hani once again at the helm. NL’s real-life experiences, knowledge and passion for this period is easy to see through her writing. The storyline is original and engaging and is a good thriller where the plots have lots of twists and turns. Hani is in the midst of a plague and tombs are being robbed. Are they one and the same? Will he be able to stop the plague, find the murderers and save the tombs?

The North Wind Descendsis the fourth book in The Lord Hani Mysteries by N.L Holmes. This is an historical mystery set in ancient Egypt- with plenty of historical detailing, intrigue, drama, and interesting characters. I am enjoying following Hani along on his mystery solving escapades- and the Lord Hani series is definitely my favourite of all the N.L Holmes books. I love the historical details of the story and the authors passion for the period- her in-depth knowledge and familiarity with the historical aspects of the times really does enhance to the whole atmosphere of the story. Hani is a fantastic character, who along with the rest of the cast, help to bring this story alive. He is a loving family man, as well as a respected diplomat. This mystery tests Hani, again, and brings with it more political agendas. Murder, intrigue, family, and political tension made for a great read. Looking forward to seeing what Hani gets up to in the next book!

City Without A Sun is the second book in the Vampire State series by Alexander Charalambides. This book finds Rowena taking on the new challenge of a job at Gargoyle, a news network. She is trying to get the human perspective across but the vampires want nothing to do with it. Rowena’s character is growing.

At Last: Adams Brothers: Book 1 by Mindy McKinley is a beautiful steamy contemporary romance. This is Mindy’s debut novel and wow did she do a good job. She has a passion that clearly flows through her words. I laughed and cried at this emotive story, watching as they fell in love. The story is told in the main characters POV and I loved their witty banter. If the other brother in the Adams family is like this, then sign me up.

At Last is the first book in the Adams Brothers seriesand debut novel by Mindy McKinley. This is a well-written sexy and steamy co-worker romance, with just enough drama and angst to keep things interesting. Lola is a great teacher, but lacks confidence and so tends to keep a low profile. Dom is a history teacher working at the same school, who has a bit of a player reputation. They have had little to do with each other until he sees Lola sing at a local Jazz club. Then things take an interesting turn. A fun read. Looking forward to more from Mindy McKinley in the future.

Will you be tempted into the world of Vampires, werewolves and mystical creatures, I say YES.
The Sanctuary Chronicles by India Kells is brilliant, I love box sets as you don’t have to wait to get stuck into the next installment and you will be chomping to get to each book in this series.
The boxset has three of the books within this series and a bonus novella which will have you looking to read the next book in the series. Each books builds the story and follows the different characters within the flow of the story.
Broken Magic follows Valeria and when the only thing that had centred her, her magic has become destructive.
Blind Magic follows Sera who loses her sight and is heartbroken when she thinks that her beloved books and research has gone, but the only person who can hep can’t even stand to be in the same room as her.
Dead Magic follows the story of Violet and her interaction with the oldest Vampire, Finn. Will give in to the chemistry which is obviously between them.
I love India Kells writing and this is the first time I have read her fantasy books but they have the same well developed characters and gripping stories as all the other books. This is not normally my usually genre I read but because of the author I thought I would give them a go and was not disappointed.
All three of the books were full of the usual angst and chemistry with the interaction of the secondary characters you find yourself transported to the world of Vampires, witches and all that goes with this wonderful world. I would definitely recommend this series as a gateway to the unknown world of fantasy.

The Sanctuary Chronicles Box Set – Book 1-3 + Novella by India Kells was a great 5 star read. We get a great collection of the first three books in one along with a novella.
Broken Magic: Valeria is a witch and her father is an enforcer. She has been given the job of hunting and killing those who are a danger to the supernaturals. This is when she meets Asher, he is the head of the werewolves that she was hunting. There is a connection between these two. But….if they were to be together it could mean death. Are they willing to take that chance? Something wacky also goes on with Valeria’s magic that causes tragedy causing her to be banished. We jump ahead a couple of years when she runs into Asher again but it’s not a pleasant visit, he has plans to kill her. Overall this was a great read with several unexpected twists and turns.
Blind Magic: Sera is a witch who is gradually losing her sight. She is curious and likes to learn about things and she isn’t shy about asking people questions. I loved the scene where she asked Ian to turn for her so she could see how it was done.
We move forward with a great story with mystery and twist and turns. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I really liked Sera’s strength and fierceness in protecting her loved ones. The connection between Sera and Ian was great, you could feel it coming off the pages.
Dead Magic: Finn is a very old vampire, he is at the point where he is ready to meet his maker. However, when a certain someone connects with him and asks for his help, his plans change immediately. She is the one and only person he would stay for.
Violet lost her parents to a vampire and should hate them but something about Finn pulls her in and she can’t stop thinking about him. He’s different from the others. When Finn arrives to help Violet, they discover that working together makes them stronger, can they work together to keep Violet safe and help with her internal war?
Overall this was a great read, my emotions were all over the place. The characters were all great. I love Violet and Finn’s connection.
Hidden Magic (Novella): This is Kat and Brant’s story. These two have a great chemistry that comes off the pages. Brant is a were-lynx and when Kat is kidnapped he is determined to find her. When he finds here will he be able to help her get through her demons and fears from her kidnapping? I really liked both characters from the start, Brant pulled me in right away with his feelings for Kat. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing, you feel like you’re right there with all of the characters. 1-click and get started today on this great collection. I look forward to reading more from this author.

The relationship between Lost and Patsy was so cute and oh my god seeing their relationship grow was so cute and amazing and seeing them both learn from each other especially about each other. I really loved the relationship Lost got with her son and I liked that he put the effort in. I really liked the plot it kept me hooked and interested and honestly the writing is amazing.

The First Noel: A Tale of Friendship is a children’s book by Clare Johnson, inspired by the nativity. The story begins with a friendship between two girls from different upbringing and social classes, the friendship struggles as the differences between their ways of life affect the way they see each other. The book description explains that the poetic story is based on a ballet, and from the words and lovely illustrations I can see how it made a beautiful production. I’m think this would be a lovely read for children and their families, and there are many lessons woven into the words.

This book can be read as a stand alone or in order, either way you will enjoy this book as much if not more than all of them in the series.

This author has a brilliant writing style that has lots of details and connects you to the read and leaves you wanting more! This is a series that I highly recommend reading the previous books in the series for you to really get a proper insight but each book will captivate you more than the last, this book has twists and turns that will have you wondering what will happen next!

Scepter of Flint is the third book in The Lord Hani Mysteries by N.L Holmes. It is an historical cosy mystery set in ancient Egypt. We team up with Hani, an Egyptian diplomat, once more as the mystery unfolds. With mysterious tomb robberies, the plague, politics, and troubling personal developments- Hani will have a lot to process if he is to figure it all out. We are transported to ancient Egypt- which the author does a brilliant job of recreating and bringing to life. Her attention to detail definitely adds an extra element of interest to her stories. As with the first two book in the series, the author’s knowledge and passion for the period really shines through in her story-telling and writing adding wonderful depth and richness to the story/series. I wonder what awaits Hani next?

City Without A Sun is the second book in the Vampire State series by Alexander Charalambides. This series really does take vampire lore and shake it up a bit- giving an original and intriguing take on vampire stories. But it is so much more than just a vampire story, with plenty of drama, danger, action, adventure, mysteriousness, surprising developments, politics, agendas, social commentary, wonderful paranormal elements, and superb world-building. There is definitely a bit of a dark dystopian feel to the series, which I love. and more. It felt a little dystopian and dark at times. But that added to the whole atmosphere. This was an interesting story- complex and dynamic. Though it was a little slow going at times- the story was intriguing enough to keep me invested in the outcome. Even though this book is set around a year after the events in books one, Vampire State, I would really recommend reading book one before starting on this one as having all that storyline and information will definitely give you a better appreciation of this book. A lot has happened between the events in book one and now. Our characters have to navigate many changes- personal, social, as well as political. I really enjoyed following along to find out how everything played out. Definitely looking forward to more of this series.

The First Noel A Tale of Friendship by Clare Johnson is a Christian children’s story about friendship, love, values, acceptance, lesson teaching, and more. It is told in the form of a poem, which also weaves the story of the birth of Jesus. The story begins when the daughter of a Wiseman meets a poor shepherd girl- before evolving into the Nativity story. When I saw this book show up on my recommended book feed, and with Christmas approaching, I immediately though that this would be a great story to read to my 4 year old grandson- so I grabbed a copy and sat him down to read it. While I did think the premise was quite clever and interesting, I felt that the story would probably be best enjoyed by older children, as it lacked the attention grabbing details that most young children need and enjoy having in their stories. My grandson loves story time, but only a page into the book and his attention was wandering, already asking for other books. We persevered, but he really wasn’t that interested in it. I do think that with just a little tweaking this story could be fabulous. The pictures are quite well done, done in a computer graphics kind of style, but were not as whimsical and ‘child-friendly’ as I had hoped for. The author explains that the story/poem was originally written as a dance production before becoming a picture book- so I would definitely be interested in seeing the stage production, as maybe the story better translates to dance.

City Without a Sun is the second book in the Vampire State series. I recommend reading the first one before you pick this one up. The suspense and mystery of this book will have you engrossed in the story and make you feel like you are right there beside the characters. Rowena is an amazing character. You will likely find yourself riding an emotional roller coaster as you follow her journey in this story. There is a lot of action packed in these pages and you won’t be able to stop turning them until you get to the end…and then you will want to dive right into the next one. Excellent reading adventure!

I think I have read every Satan’s Devil’s MC books and the stories continue to amaze me. This is the 2nd book in the San Diego series and Grumbler has quickly become one of my favorite members. He has dedicated his life to the club and has been happy being the single guy with no children. So when someone asks to photograph his baby (his motorcycle), he finds himself in a situation that will change the course of his future. Mary is a single mother of a teenager who does what teenagers do best…test the limits. When she accompanies her daughter to a photoshoot, she finds herself turning to a grumpy biker for help. How long can they fight their attraction before they give in or walk away? (You have to read to find out) I found myself drawn to these characters. Maybe being a mother of a teenage girl is part of it. I can see how Grumbler got his name and for some reason that only made me like him more. Again, another great book in the series. Can’t wait to read whatever comes next!

Grumbler’s Ride Satan’s Devils MC San Diego Book 2 By Manda Mellett ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ This is a full length novel in a series, I recommend you read book 1 first. Actually reading anything from Manda Mellett will make you familiar with her MC men in Satan’s Devils. You may find yourself in a dark place in this story. I recommend you hang on tight!
Grumbler, single, never gonna have an Ol Lady. It was just him and his ride. Never, Never, Never going to put anybody on the back of his ride. But when he is asked to allow pictures taken of his ride, with some other guy on his bike. Well he would not allow that. But he would consider letting someone stand next to her. Then trouble comes knocking, and that’s all you will get from me. No Spoilers! You have to read it to believe it.
Manda Mellett has done it again. This story is well written and promises to keep you reading. I was on page one and remained there until the last page was read. This is one of those books you are afraid to put down. At least I was. I love her characters! Grumbler and Mary are great together, when he comes to her rescue, and helps her teen get out of a mess. (Okay on a side note two of the women in the club have my first and middle name!) I am looking forward to reading more from Manda Mellett. Job well done Manda Mellett! You never disappoint!
