Age of Druids by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the 9th book in the series I would highly recommend reading the other books in the series before jumping into this one. This is the final book in this series. Christy has done an amazing part of pulling these elements together.

A Beach Wedding To Die For by Judy Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A Beach Wedding To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 2) by Judy Moore is as the title says a cozy mystery crime story. This well-crafted tale is a quick but engaging read that is full of twists and turns that keeps the pages turning. This who dunnit, has plenty of suspects and you are kept wondering right before the killer is revealed.
A runaway bride, two jilted ex’s, a hopeful groom, a wedding, a murder and of course Beck O’Rourke our amateur super sleuth is on the case again much to the chagrin of detective Devon Mathis. What I didn’t expect was the ending.

Key to Tirumfall by J. Drew Brumbaugh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Key to Tirumfall (Tirumfall Trilogy Book 3) by J Drew Brumbaugh is the final book in this gripping fantasy trilogy. Drew gives us a world of wizards and demons, magic and dragons, war and love. Relationships are tested as they set about on journeys that are fraught with danger where lives are threatened, and nothing is straightforward. It is easy to become totally immersed in the story and engaged with the characters due to Drews character and world building and this action-packed tale is full of suspense and mystery, drama and secrets. This is a great ending to the trilogy.

A Beach Wedding To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 2) by Judy Moore
5 ++++++ Stars
I loved this book so so so much! I’ve said this before but Judy Moore is my go to for cozy mysteries. These characters, especially Scratchoff..Absolutely a favorite of mine. Beck is someone I want to be friends with, I want to rent a room at Beach Reads and be her BFF, LOL
I usually suspect I know who did what in these books, In more times than not I’m completely wrong but I always try. This author always messes with my head and once again I had no clue…I think it crossed my mind once but quickly dismissed itself and I was on a whole different track. Then that ending….it had me asking myself….What would I have done?
This author has such a way with weaving her words into a smooth flowing story, one that I never want to end. I love what is and even what isn’t going on with Beck and Devon and I’m praying that there’s a future book planned involving more of Lizzie and of course much more interaction between Scratchoff and Grammy.
You can absolutely read this as a standalone, but I’m so glad I didn’t, there are a couple books I’d recommend reading before this one just to get everyone’s history and why they are so special in this book!

The Lies Between Us by Cynthia Cooke
Four Stars
The Lies Between Us: A Psychic Romantic Suspense is the fourth book in the Deadly Secrets series by Cynthia Cooke. This is the first book I have read by Ms.Cooke, but definitely won’t be the last. I had no trouble reading this story, so it can be read as a standalone. I’m looking forward to going back and reading the first three books in this series. Tom and Cat’s story is full of twists and turns I didn’t see coming. I was up late reading because I just had to find out how it would end. It was definitely worth the loss of sleep. I haven’t read a Romantic Suspense in a couple of months, so this was a great book to jump back into this genre. Highly Recommend!

CAFE CONFIDENTIAL: An unfiltered and intimate memoir by Lynda Filler
5 out of 5 stars
I have read a few books written by Ms. Filler I jumped at the chance to read her memoir. I wish I could just up and sell everything I owned and buy a one-way ticket for amazing adventure. While reading Ms. Fillers memoir you could feel her emotions and her strength through her journey. The way she describes the countries and places that she visits each country is very vivid and the people that she met on her journey make you feel like your there with her and I loved the pictures.
I really recommend this memoir written by Ms. Filler and see what she gets up to in her amazing journey.

Big City Heat: A High-Rise Romance Anthology by Hazel Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Big City Heat: A High-Rise Romance Anthology is a collection of 12 short stories in just about every genre of romance. From a different city comes different romances from billionaires – fake relationships – older men – LGBTQ – office to mafia romances. With a lot of these authors being new to me, I only really read A Hole by Phoebe Alexander.
In Philadelphia…
Ever been nervous about a comedy show because you didn’t want the comedian to pick on you? How about dating a comedian and worrying about being the punchline? Well, meet Ella Craig and Ace Bennett and I dare you not to laugh.
Now where to next in this Big City Anthology….

The Queen’s Dog (Empire at Twilight Book 3) by N.L. Holmes
4 Stars!!!!
I have to say that I do like to delve into history and have a bit of intrigue and all the drama of the royal courts. I really found myself glued to this book as the drama played out. I really like the twists and turns. The author does a great job of building the story and the drama around the characters. I really got caught up in the deception of the royal court and the plots.
I like how the author is able to use historic reference and keep it realistic. The characters really come to life and seem to just jump off of the pages. I found the whole story to be quite well balanced with court intrigue and drama along with just enough of the characters history mixed in. I really look forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Faerie’s Magic is the second book in the Seasons of the Fae series.
The cover is magic all by itself! It puts a spell on you and you can’t resist getting the book. I don’t want to give the story away so I will simply say this – Faerie’s Magic is a wonderfully spun web of paranormal adventure, danger, magic, drama, and of course, romance. The world building and detail of the characters makes the story come to life.
I’m looking forward to reading the next book!
Shattered Snow by Rachel Huffmire

Shattered Snow by Rachel Huffmire has become one of my favorite Fairy Tale retellings! The character development made this story unique and exceptional. I love that we get the villains backstory and the mirror is not just a face stuck on the wall. The author did a great job giving these characters more depth.

The Queen’s Dog by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Queen’s Dog by N.L. Holmes is the third book in the Empire at Twilight series. This is my favorite book in the series so far. What will you do for the love of another? This question falls on a eunuch slave who has fallen for his Queen in the Syrian kingdom of Ugarit. This becomes not a story of failed romance but of mystery and intrigue. I really enjoy the descriptive powers of the author taking me back in time to an ancient kingdom. The characters are well written and interesting. I want to know what is going to happen next as I am reading which causes me to stay up all night. I usually enjoy my historical fiction in the Victorian age but this has me hooked. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

This is the third book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the two previous books. This is a well developed story that has characters that bring the story to life. They made the story engaging and entertaining to read. I had no problems connecting with them. The twins, Izara and Kain are back in another supernatural story. In this story they find themselves being pulled in opposite directions. They also find themselves battling their inner demons. Will they lose everyone the love and care about? I really enjoyed this series and this book. It is a fun story that the author has written easy to read. Izara and Kain made such great characters and really made this story for me. I highly recommend it.

SAFE HARBOR: Logan Book 5 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the fifth book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the previous four books. I highly suggest reading the previous books to help enjoy the characters more. This is a well written story that has characters that are so well developed. I had no issues connecting with them as they bring the story to life. This is an easy, engaging story that kept me turning pages to the end. It has twists and turns that keep you wanting to know what will happen next. Logan makes a great character and always finds herself in the middle of something. In this story she finds herself in the middle of two murders. Things turn and safe harbor is needed but will they all find it? Will someone be left out? I really enjoyed this book and the characters made this story for me. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Super Sorry by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Interesting new YA read by C.A. King.
The name caught my attention first with it’s double meaning…. it gave a great insight into the direction the Author took this story.
With some humor and tepicle teenage problems mixed together with a new take on supernatural fantasy, Super Sorry has it all.
Great world building and the MC is funny and spunky just how I like them.
But the stand out in this story was definitely her sidekick……

This is my first read by McKenna Dean, not knowing what to expect I went in open-minded and I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This book is full of action, adventure, mystery and suspense and I was hooked from the get-go! This was a mentally visual read, and with the author’s brilliant descriptions it makes it that much easier to connect to the storyline and the characters she has created. Being part of a series I thought I would need book 1 to really get an understanding of it, but it flowed effortlessly on its own. I highly recommend you pick up this read.

Wendigo Forest is a YA Paranormal story by C.A. King and is everything you would want in a short story. It is full of fantasy and myths that are well written and fast paced. You will be brought along on the adventures that Clara experiences and discovers.
Thank you Ms. King for well developed characters who become realistic the deeper you get in the book. My only complaint is that it would have been amazing if it had been longer so that we could have gotten even more in depth and close to the Fawns.

The Lies Between Us: Deadly Secrets Book 4 by Cynthia Cooke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Lies Between Us: A Psychic Romantic Suspense by Cynthia Cooke is action packed, has dangerous moments, and includes romance! Once you get started, you’ll have a hard time putting it down. Even though this book is part of a series, I had no trouble figuring out the characters and how they related to each other. I especially liked learning about Cat and Tom’s relationship. The book starts out with Cat finding out that her husband Tom is in danger, is not a pharmaceutical rep like she believed, but is actually an undercover FBI agent. Tom found out not long ago that Cat is not only an intelligent woman but also has psychic abilities. What will all these secrets mean for their marriage?

This is a young-adult series that I have enjoyed from the beginning. This is a well developed story that brings excavation of relics to life. The characters are so well developed that they made the story feel realistic and also fun to read about the adventure. The characters in this book are relic hunters that go in search of stolen relics. The problem becomes when their past comes to the present and is causing problems. In this story Adam and his friends use their experiences and skills as survival. They now find themselves in a war which they have to fight the past, will they survive? The characters made the story easy to read. This is a really great story which I highly recommend.

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth is an enchanting enemy to lover’s romance tale. It is a slow burn, sweet and fun read with witty banter. I enjoyed Christi’s writing style and the setting of the story. Two people after the same promotion, one a workaholic and the other the son of the owner. It is a vivid world Christi has outlined for us and it makes you feel that you are right there with the magic of Christmas. It is a simplistic and easy story for a quiet afternoon read.

Thunder On The Moor by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Thunder On The Moor by Andrea Matthews is a historical romance story that has been born from historical events from the 16th century and it is easy to see that Andrea is passionate about it. It makes for an interesting read with time travel and being set in Scotland (as I love Scotland, it is my favourite place from my world travels), but I found the story long, a little tedious at times and slow going. I also found it hard to connect at all times with the main character, Maggie and found myself skimming through the pages. There is plenty of action and danger and interesting facts, as we learn about the life of a Border Reiver, clan wars and the events of that time.
3 stars.

Sarah Sorry is a teenager who believes appearances mean everything. She has abilities that emerge in the most unusual ways. Her life does a complete 360 but is it for the better? She is a super hero in the making but there will be mistakes along the way. It’s time she realizes what is really important. This is a definite must read.

A Merry Texan Christmas by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a series I have enjoyed from the first book. I was happy to find a third book out and Christmas to boot. This author has continued to impress me with her attention to details and her writing skills. I was pulled into right from the beginning and kept engaged to the end. This is a shorter romance story that will pull at your heartstrings as well as your soul. The characters bring the story life and make it feel realistic. I had no issues connecting with them. This is a story about Trey and Maggie. Trey is looking forward to a quiet life as he opens his new bookstore. He is excited to decorate for the holidays but he never expected to compete with Maggie who has been nicknamed as Miss Christmas. What will happen as they compete against each other, will they find more than Christmas spirit? Who will win? This is such a great Christmas story that I really enjoyed. I enjoyed watching the growth between Trey and Maggie. They have great chemistry whether they see it or not. I found myself hoping that they would find their HEA. What happens with them you will need to read this book which I highly recommend. It will put the Christmas spirit in your heart for sure.

Bishops Gambit by McKenna Dean is the second book in the Redclaw Origins series. This is a brilliant example of a great detective novel and I liked the fact that it was set in current times. It meant the book had a unique feel to it and the story feel new and refreshing.
The characters were great as well. They had such a strong connection and just seemed to work really well together – both professionally and beyond. It felt like you could really get to know them!
The author has a great writing style as well. She kept the story moving at all times and really gave the characters the room to tell their story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to what comes next.
