Summer’s Stolen (Seasons of Magic Book 2) by Sarah Biglow – Review by Anantha Rusum

Summer's Stolen (A Seasons of Magic urban Fantasy Novel)Summer’s Stolen by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second of the Seasons of the Magic series and I find myself enjoying this series a lot. It is full of action, interesting characters and keeps the readers on the hook till the very end.
Ezri is on another case with her friend Jacquie, cousin Desmond and other members of the authority. There are children who are missing one after another. The video footage shows them disappearing. Ezri has to use all her magic, her power and her strength to trace these missing children. She pairs up with an FBI agent Cartwright to follow the trail of the whisperers who will eventually lead her to the people who have been kidnapping the children. We get to know about other magical communities in this book, like the African and the Hispanic people who follow magic in their own accord and the friction between different communities.
I love this book, which has both a thriller and a fantasy element to it. In fact, even without the fantasy element, this book and the characters would have been equally exciting. Ezri comes across as a strong-willed independent woman whom everyone can rely on, the savior which the western magic descendants need. Overall a very good read, full of twists and turns! A good sequel to the first book! I am hoping there will be two more in this series, and cannot wait to read the third!

A magical and exciting read, Summer’s Stolen by Sarah Biglow, was a difficult book to put down. It is the second book in the Seasons of Magic series and can be read as a standalone. I felt that this book was better than the first and loved how easily it enveloped my imagination. The disappearances had me intrigued and worried for those involved. I loved following Ezri and her partner Jacquie as they worked meticulously and efficiently to solve their case. They were thorough and I loved their personalities. They had great character development as the story progressed. This was a delightful read and a book I highly recommend. It was an easy 5-stars.

Dead Magic: The Sanctuary Chronicles by India Kells. This one may just be my favorite yet by this author. Immediately I was completely drawn in to this book and couldn’t put it down. This author writes characters that are easy to connect with and picture , they bring the story to life. I find myself lost in the pages and wishing it didn’t have to end. I sometimes have a harder time getting into a fantasy/paranormal type story but I never have that issue with this author and series. The characters are complex and relatable with chemistry jumping off the pages. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Can’t wait for more from this author. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

As indicated above,  Summer’s Stolen is the second book in Sarah Biglow’s Seasons of Magic series. This is a series that leaves you wanting more in all the best ways! Much like the first book,  Summer’s Stolen captured me from the first word to the last. As we continue to get to know Ezri and watch as she juggles career and personal,  magical aspects of her life,  there is never a shortage of intrigue or excitement.  Sarah Biglow is still a new to me Author but it’s quickly exceeding all expectations with action,  great characters and detailed world building.  I would definitely recommend this series and look forward to more from this Author.

This story has a fast pace that had me turning the pages as fast as possible. The characters truly bring this story to life. It’s a well written story. I’m giving this story a four star review and highly recommend it. Excited to see where the author takes readers next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book really made me think about my boundaries. Jessica Aiken-Hall does a masterful job in this suspenseful, mystery, crime genre. There are twists and turns and drama around every corner. The main character is smart, witty, and an introvert. This story kept me at the edge of my seat. Valerie is the “anti-social social worker”. She works with people who are primarily dead. This is one part of her job she likes. She has boundaries and she sticks to them. If you have boundaries how willing are you to cross them. In this book, Valerie has to cross them. I highly recommend this story. It will keep you going to the last word.

Love Gaia: The Diary Directive by TL Clark – Review by Sheri Schrader

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love Gaia: The Diary Directive by T.L. Clark is a fascinating post-apocalyptic read. Aroha and her classmates are in a situation where they must learn from the past in order to survive. Will they make it through? This is a YA read but well written and with many thoughtful topics handled with great care and concern. I have read other books from this author and this one is also well done. I really enjoy the stories brought by this author as well as how the characters and story are developed. This story brought me into what Aroha and her classmates were experiencing with such fine detail. It was not overwhelmed by tons of action like other YA dystopian stories but instead took the energy and time to develop an interesting tale. I look forward to reading more from Clark in the future and what worlds I will be taken to next.

5 stars!

Excellent. This story is fun, it is original, techy, funny and dramatic. I love the storyline of a world addicted to technology and a world where you can hack into someone’s glasses and erase or read their memories. This is also slightly creepy but fun. The only big news Lucy has to share with her sister Mollie, is that she likes Marco. Mollie on the other hand shares that she can erase people’s memories. Then we meet Nick, who can also erase memories, and he sees that Lucy now knows of him. Watching Lucy on the run, as to not get her memories wiped, and her interactions with Marco is an adventure. The romance between Lucy and Marco is sweet and at times for me, frustrating, due to Marco’s memories being wiped. Overall a fantastic read, wonderful characters and I can’t say enough how creative this book really is.
I highly recommend this read! I felt as though I was watching a movie and not reading a book. Ruth Mitchell is an amazing writer and I hope for another book like this in the future from her.

You would think after saving the world, you would get a break. Unfortunately that’s not the case for Ezri Trenton. She’s taken her seat on the Council and is trying to find balance between her personal life and being a detective. Some girls start disappearing in the vicinity and when one of them turns out to be her partner’s niece, Ezri jumps on the case. Turns out they are part of the magical community as well and this leads Ezri to the dark underbelly of the city. Heading into dangerous situations again, she learns that the Order of Samael is not finished with her. Can she survive round two?

A story filled with action and magic, it also had the added mystery of trying to figure out who took the girls. Another book to keep you on the edge of your seat. With wonderful characters and an amazing storyline, this is definitely a must read.

Another steamy story to add to a fabulous series. Although I found it wasn’t as spicy as some of the others, it still had enough heat to get you hot and bothered. Makenna and Ty decide to have their bachelor and bachelorette parties at Spicetopia. A chance meeting at the newly opened casino has them teaming up for a scavenger hunt. Interesting things happen on this hunt but fate wouldn’t leave things to chance, dares or dice.

Although the books in this series can be read as stand alones, I highly suggest reading them all. Ms. Alexander will not disappoint you, this series is amazing. I think this book may be my favourite one yet!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan of this series. Every time a new book comes out I lounge on the couch and can usually finish it in a day or two. Dares & Dice was no different. Phoebe Alexander hit the jackpot when she started this series. I absolutely love it. Dares & Dice is book # 5 and each book is better then the last!

This book is about two sets of people. Makenna is there with her maid of honor and 3 bridesmaids while Ty is there with his best man and 3 groomsmen. What are the odds they will break up into teams for a scavenger hunt? Well they do and they decide 5 groups of 2 would make up the teams. I love the 2 main characters Makenna and Ty. They are both set to get married in the next few weeks but, is it really what they want? Ty has some secrets about who he really is and it will come out eventually. I thought Ty and Makenna were both 2 strong characters. Makenna is such a good girl and her fiancé has no idea how good she really is.
Makenna and Ty get very close during the hunt but then it is cut short and they don’t get to say goodbye. Will they have another chance meeting? I was appalled by what Makenna finds out when she gets back from her honeymoon. This was such a great read and an awesome addition to the series. I can’t wait to see if there are any more books. Dares & Dice can be read as a stand-alone.

The fun never stopped for Ezri as she continued her journey to becoming the chosen one. The second installment of Ezris story started out with a mystery and continued with some intrigue and suspense. Ezri continued to grow in her powers and in her role as the savior for all her community. This was a really good sequel to the initial novel and I cannot wait to read the next part of Ezri’s story by Sarah Biglow.

Feisty Heroines Romance Collection of Shorts: Paranormal-Contemporary-Fantasy-Historical Anthology
4 Stars!!!!

I really love getting a nice variety of authors and genre types in one book. This is a great collection of short stories. I am really looking forward to reading the ones I have not yet to read. There is something to be said about anthologies as you can get a wide rage of authors and a lot of different stories and not have to put down the book.

My favourite of what I have read is Good Bones by Maggie Adams. This is such a nice contemporary romance. I loved how the author was able to use the main characters pasts to highlight what will become their future. I also like how it was not a love at first sight type story but rather a hate to love story. I find that the author really brought the characters to life and that it was not predictable which is always a bonus. I was so glad that Griffin and Casey were able to come together. It was really quite a sweet short read and I really look forward to reading more from this author in future.

Love Comes in the Mourning
By Erin Bevan
5 out of 5 stars

The story Love Comes in the Mourning by Erin Bevan is a book that I loved reading. It pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a romance story that touched my heart and I have to say that I went through quite a bit of tissue while reading it. It had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. It is also a book that had both wondering what was going to happen next and falling in love with the characters of Lesley DeLoach and John Hambrice. Lesley is going to the estate that her great aunt left her, Rosalynn Manor. She is determined to make a new life for herself and stand on her own. Then she meets John. John is a widower who is trying to keep his company afloat and take care of his children. While he knows he would like the job restoring Rosalyn Manor he is not so sure working for someone from the city would be a good idea. He has problems with those from the city in the past. Then he meets Lesley. There is an attraction between John and Lesley that can’t be denied. With John having lost his wife and Lesley recently divorced are they ready for a relationship? Will they take a second chance at love? What does their future hold? Read this book to find out. I grew to care about John and Lesley with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. The story takes place in a small town whose residents all know each other and care about one another. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are introduced and loved reading about their part in the story. The author has created unforgettable characters and a storyline that has you hooked from the start. I would highly recommend reading it.

I enjoyed this book. It is a young adult story about two people who are sent to boarding school. It is a special kind of school, only for the highly talented to go there. I found this book to be a little slow in the beginning but once it picked up, it took off and I had a hard time putting it down. The characters are great and I had no issues connecting with them. This story is about two young adults that seem to be normal until strange things begin to happen to them. They seem to have some special powers and now someone wants them and not for good either. This is an enjoyable story that keeps you engaged. I highly recommend this book.

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This is the fifth book of the Spicetopia series. You can read this book as a stand alone 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 and I could not stop until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this spicy book.

Makenna Oakley is going to be getting married soon. Her maiden of honor decided they are going to take a girl trip to Spicetopia. Makenna has never done something so daring before. She is then forced into a scavenger hunt around the park with a very handsome man Ty. As she gets to know Ty she feels something she has never felt before. Will Makenna roll the dice and see what happens or will she play it safe?

And it continues. This is book 5 out of the series, it can be read as a standalone but I would HIGHLY recommend that you read all of them in order. This series has been fantastic so far and book number 5 is no different. You would think, how many more books can be made around this theme park, and what other stories can be made, but each time I move on to the next one and my mind is blown and I get excited for what this author will come up with next.
I really enjoy how each book has a different theme that goes along with each couple. In this book is Makenna and Ty, bride and groom to be… but not to each other. They both happen to have their bachelor and bachelorette parties at Spicetopia, and so it begins. Ty and Makenna are wonderful together, their respective spouses to be, do not match up with either of them. It kind of stinks that both of their respective partners are getting dumped before the wedding but when it is meant to be, it’s meant to be. The interactions between the main characters is everything you could ask for in a book, steamy, funny, romantic, etc. The secondary characters such as Ty and Makenna’s friends are fun, and made the story that much more enjoyable. I can’t wait to see if there will be a book 6!

Dares & Dice by Phoebe Alexander is the fifth book in the Spicetopia series. These can be read in any order but I recommend in the order they’ve been written. The stories focus on a different couple each time, but there are characters which overlap into other books. This book is about a bachelor and a bachelorette party which both are Spicetopia. I honestly did not know where the story would go exactly but ended up liking this book a lot. The bride to be Makenna and the separate groom to be Ty are in Spicetopia for a last hurrah. Will they both find a weekend of fun? This is a quick but fun read and kept me entertained. I always enjoy books by Phoebe Alexander for a nice getaway and look forward to reading more from her in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dares & Dice is the 5th book in the fantastic Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. I have become a huge fan of Phoebe Alexander’s writing over the last 2 years and have particularly loved the Spicetopia series so far. Having now read this 5th book, I can say that this has been my favourite book in the series so far.
In this book Ty is visiting Spicetopia with a group of friends for his bachelor party and at the same time as Makenna is there for her bachelorette party with her group of friends. When the 2 groups are asked to take part in a trial for a scavenger hunt, they pair off 1 girl with 1 guy. Bride and groom Makenna and Ty are paired together to complete the scavenger hunt.
I absolutely adored this book. The activities that the couples take part in are hilarious in parts. So much thought and creativity must have gone into the writing of the scavenger hunt. This book is particularly fast paced as the pair go from activity to activity.
I loved the sexual tension that builds up between the two of them as they spend more time together in this very sexualized environment. As they spend more time together both realise that they are not happy with the person that they are due to marry and start to imagine what it would be like to be with each other instead.
I love that Phoebe Alexander can write such steamy books with great storylines that really grab your attention. I totally devoured this book in just over 2 hours. Definitely recommend!

Phoebe Alexander always brings the steamiest romance books that I cannot get enough of. Every single one of her stories are so unique and very different from everything I have previously read. She’s not afraid to push the envelope either!

The Spicetopia is one of my all time favorites. Ty and Makenna’s story is probably one of my favorites from this series. Both characters are at the theme park for their Bachelor and Bachelorette parties (they aren’t marrying each other). Their chemistry is completely undeniable and singes the pages! Miss Alexander added in some twists that no one was expecting and I was completely on the edge of my seat!

I hope there is more to this series. I love visiting my favorite theme park!

Summer’s Stolen is the second book in the Seasons of Magic series. You’ll appreciate this story more if you’ve read book one as there are references to things that happened in the previous story.

This is a fabulous series. I fell in love with book one and book two is a fantastic story as well. In the second book we see Ezri’s growth as a person.

Summer’s Stolen sucks you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let go. (Maybe the book itself is infused with magic? LOL) When reading this story, I felt like I was right there with the characters. There is action, danger, intrigue, suspense, and of course, magic.

Definitely a must read!

I loved this story! It really kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was happening next. I was surprised and hopeful all at the same time throughout this one. Then there are the characters. They breathe life into this story. Alice Worth is one to keep an eye on. She has a past that is sooo secret and a new life that she shields to keep her past quiet. Trust issues are one of her biggest hang-ups. Then we have the lovely secondary characters. Mal, Sean and Charles. I have to say Mal is pretty high on my list. He is an amazing and helpful sidekick. The other two are each paranormals high in society who covet Alice and hinder each other’s pursuits.

Overall this is a wonderful beginning to this series. It makes me want to read more and more. Next please!

Another fantastic anthology of stories in this Irresistible Romance series, I have found some wonderful new authors to follow and of course I loved that Ms Ferguson’s story featured again! I adore her Wounded Warriors series; they are fantastic reads about wonderful characters. I loved that all of the stories were again varied; they touched on all sorts of different subjects so I am extremely confident that there is something for everybody in this anthology. Another story that I really enjoyed was Playing with the Bridesmaid by Stephanie Queen – that was a really fun read, I loved it! Both characters had a few issues but I loved reading their journey. Two Hearts’ Alliance by Tamara Ferguson was also a winner for me! It was really hard to choose a favourite so to speak because I really enjoyed them all!
I highly recommend this anthology and the series!
