My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great little adventure. Even though its just 150 pages long it has everything a great book needs and leaves the reader wanting more.

Friday is sent to Hero High to train to be a superhero. However its not all plain sailing. Every where she turns she gets into trouble.

Friday is trying to prove herself but there is a lot of distractions. The main one being who is the person they are calling the Figure in the Flames?

Black BladeBlack Blade by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first started reading Black Blade (Black Blade Book 1) by Alexander Charalambides, I was a bit put off with the short clipped dialogue of our hero and heroine. But as I continued to read, I realized how normal that was. That is exactly how a great many of us speak and communicate. It was worth sticking with it because as you progress through the story the other characters in the story have dialogue that is a thing of beauty. I love language and how it flows together, and this author brings it to the fore. The characters are very unique, well described and memorable. The world he builds is diverse and you can almost smell it. There is plenty of action, twists and turns and quite unpredictable. Then, of course, there is always the story within the story. Just a little head up here the story goes at a nice little pace until you near the end. It’s a page turning roller coaster after that. Be prepared.

In Journeys Through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) by James Talisman we meet again some of the same characters from the first book and who doesn’t like a save-the-world book. With young adults Matt, Julia, and Dan who are on their way to … becoming, and the characters on the spaceship Basilisk having second thoughts, this is a great little world that gets your mind to thinking. This is not a book to just zip through it’s a book to think through.

P.A.W.S. by Debbie Manber Kupfer is an excellent little book. A good book for a young adult to read. It’s about belonging about finding your tribe. Mary spends many years as the odd man out. When she enters a new world and finds her people she finally learns what family is all about. Great story, with great characters. I think I will be remembering this author because I want a little more.

Aberration: Book One by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebeccae McEwen, is a fast paced, simply written story. They set up a believable world with nicely built characters.

Age of Secrets (Druid's Brooch: #8)Age of Secrets by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Age of Secrets: Druid’s Brooch Series: #8 by Christy Nicholas, is a delightful book. Reading this book was pure enjoyment. It’s a slowed motion kind of book and you really get to know Fingin. It’s like he becomes a really good friend because you know about his past and you know how he’s living now. The story develops at a slow pace so that you become familiar with all the other characters and their places of importance in Fingin’s life. A story so well-written you feel like you’re right there with him on his journey. Through his quest he finds purpose in life and I especially like this quote from the book…”Friends who make one forget self-loathing are treasures beyond that of gold or silver.” If you need a breath of fresh air this is a book you’re really going to love…

The Finder of the Lucky Devil (Lucky Devil Series Book 1)The Finder of the Lucky Devil by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Finder of the Lucky Devil by Megan Mackie was such a delightful story. I loved this book. This book had me sucked in at the very first few pages. And then it was just a terrific read all the way through. It was exciting, it was adventurous, it was action packed. Go with Rune on this amazing adventure and discover who this mysterious man, St. Benedict is. What is his place in this story. It’s a well written story, it has wonderful characters, and the world that Maggie has built is easily visualized. Plenty of twists and turns here. It’s just a romping good story. If you like fantasy with a little mystery mixed in, you will really like this book. It’s left a little bit open ended which makes me think we will be seeing more of Rune and St. Benedict and I can’t wait.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed it from page one to the very end. It was a short story so I got through it pretty quickly. The characters really brought this story to life and they’re what made this story good. The main character had powers that get her sent away to school. She needs to learn all she can especially about the others around her. I cannot wait to see what else this author had in store for us and I am looking forward to reading more of this series. I would recommend this to a friend.

License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Angela Hayes

/0 Comments/in /by

License to Bite (New Orleans Nocturnes, #1)License to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

License to Bite is the first book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. It is a superb Paranormal Romantic Comedy, and definitely sets this series off to a fun start. I have read all Ms. Pulkinen’s books now and have loved them all. This book is a little less spicy and intense than some of her other work, as this has a cuter, sweeter, fun, and humorous look at the New Orleans paranormal world. That’s not to say that there wasn’t any excitement or some dramatic moments that added a little extra ‘zing’ to the story- because there was. Just the overall storyline felt a lot more light-hearted than her other books.
As I said, this is a paranormal romantic comedy- with vampires, witches, magic, vampire politics, and other supernatural elements- all set in mystical New Orleans.
Jane is a travel blogger who has come to New Orleans for her latest article. But things get a little complicated when she wakes up in an attic, a newly turned vampire- after a “selfie” moment goes horribly wrong.
Ethan is a broody, tortured soul- a vampire who has lost his ‘zest’ for ‘life’. When he sees Jane, he is convinced she is his lost fiancée, now reincarnated. He turns her, and soon discovers that there is no way Jane is the person he thought she was. She’s feisty, loud, and oh so frustrating.
But according to the vampire law, Ethan must help her learn to be a vampire. Teaching her their ways and helping her gain her ‘License to Bite”. Without it, she will be staked. They have three weeks to get her into shape. One small problem- Jane faints at the sight of blood- and blood is the very thing that vampires need to survive. MMMM, what will she do?
This is a quick and easy read full of humorous quips, banter, and antics. The romance is sweet, with just enough excitement to keep things interesting. I am definitely looking forward to book two- “Shift Happens”, which is Sophie’s story (Jane’s best friend).

Thank you, Ms. Pulkinen!

Black Blade by Alexander Charalambides
Four Stars

Black Blade is the first book I have read by Alexander Charalambides. This book brings the story of Excalibur to modern times. Although this book started out slow for me, it really came on strong a couple of chapters in. It is full of action and adventure, and the characters really grew as the story progressed. Lance and Megan, American teenagers, take a special trip for college to the UK to tour a museum, and that is where the story begins. I really like that the story is told in multiple POV. You really learn what each of the characters are thinking that way. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more by Alexander Charalambides.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Anger (Hero High Book w) by Mina Chara picks up where the first book left off. It is a Young Adult fantasy adventure story where a lot happens as the students learn more about themselves and what they can do and adjusting to life as a hero and being in a television reality show. Friday seems to always find herself in situations not of her making and getting herself out of them, but she is also drawn to finding out just what is going on and who is involved. If you love adventure heroes, a little mystery and an evil Dr D then this series is an intriguing read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Endless Night (Dylan Hart Book 2) by RM Gilmore is a fast-paced paranormal mystery and better than the first. This book sees Dylan once again the centre of attention as it appears, she has been set upon by magic older than time and the reason why is unsure but this sassy loudmouth cannot keep her anger under control once her goat is up. This thrilling read is set in NOLA and is ripe with vampires and voodoo, mystery and danger, drama and suspense. My only complaint is that RM always leaves me hanging when the going gets good so now I am anxiously awaiting the next book.

I without a doubt LOVED this book. I cannot wait to read the next one. Effie Kammenou is a first time author for me on this book, she did AMAZING! It’s such a cute book and so sweet. I couldn’t get enough. I even showed my son there were recipe’s in my book and now we have to make some of them!
This is the story for Kally and Max, both characters were so well built, I felt like their friend :). Everyone in this book has their time to show personality and I couldn’t put it down. Kally is a pastry chef who wants nothing more in life than her dog Emma and her cafe. Max is a police man who just wants to start over in his hometown.
Will these two learn that they need each other, or ruin it with their pasts blocking their future? Read to find out what happens, I promise you won’t be disappointed. If I could give 10 stars this would have gotten them.

This is the first book I’ve read from author Megan Mitcham, first in this series as well. I liked this book so much. It was a little slow going at first but i still couldn’t put it down. Loved the characters (Darren is my favorite!! Love him) This book kept me on the edge of my seat wanting more with every turn. I may have not read any Megan Mitcham before but I will absolutely read everything she writes from now on.
This story introduces Larkin, she’s our independent self made corporate business woman. She doesn’t take crap from anyone and doesn’t have time for any relationship besides her “girls”. We also get to meet Lucas, head of security. Douglas, her awesome and sweet driver and of course the girls, just to name a few. Find out in this story about how Larkin deals with everyone thinking they know best for her, and who’s out to get her!

This is my first book by TK Lawyer, I knew I wanted to read it as soon as I saw there was a witch involved. I’m a sucker for a witch, and I’m not ashamed about it. This romantic book had me from the beginning. I had a hard time putting it down. Eva is by far one of my favorite characters and was wonderfully developed. Kingsley had me wishing I was more of a dog person, (haha) and I love how these two interact. Absolutely a must read for my paranormal readers out there and even those that don’t read this genre much. I can’t wait to read the next book and see where TK Lawyer goes with it. Will it be more Eva and Kingsley or other fantastic characters in this book? I’ll be ready!

I found that the characters are what makes this story of Excalibur fun. Lance, the main character, always knew that he was special. He could sense the greatness within himself.

This was my first read by this author and it was a great introduction to this authors writing style and brilliant storyline.

I was captivated by this read immediately I loved meeting these characters and reading about their connection and chemistry blossom, it was a beautiful, real and raw, but not without its complications of Secrets, trust issues and sometimes miscommunication, but nevertheless it was a connection I loved reading about and watching it develop into something I think these two characters desperately need!
I connected on every level with these characters and was hoping that nothing would hold them back from getting a HEA.

This book was written with great sensitivity and really gave a brilliant insight into mental illness and gave great awareness!
I loved reading this book and so glad I picked the read up!
I can’t wait to see if Kat & Matt’s story continues but I also can’t wait to read the secondary’s characters stories as-well!

I highly recommend this read!

She is a feisty character that you swear is your lost relative. Dylan is still dealing with vampires but this time she is heading to New Orleans. What other trouble do you think Dylan will be getting in trouble with? Her attitude and her head-strong has brought her through her life so far. Will those charms keep going? I highly recommend this book. I cannot wait for the next adventure.

This is a nice story of the possible relationship between neighbors. The story is good. The characters are professionals but they each have another side to them. This touches on a sensitive subject. I loved reading how each of the characters reacted to the situations. It was fun watching them fall. I don’t think I have ever read a book with an OB doctor as the main character. That was different. I liked it.

The secondary characters add some fun to this story. Each character has a crazy fun best friend. They made me laugh and gave me a different look at their friend.

This whole series has been an interesting new look at fantasy novels for me. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I picked up that first book in this Testament of Feats series. This second book I had a bit more of an idea going into it that I was excited to get my hands on it and discover what would come next for our main character Scream. We follow along from book one into this book so I would recommend that you go back and start with book one first if you can before diving into this one. In this installment we witness a lot of character growth that I had hoped to see and then some. I love how this covers a little bit of everything from fantasy, adventure, action, drama and intrigue to the slow sweet touches of romance and sad notes of sorrow as the book title attests. I think this book is really a great example of having something for everyone and could spread across ages. I look forward to seeing what the next book in the series will bring for us and how things will turn out for these characters I have grown to love.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 4-6): A Small Town Romantic Comedy Series by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Liz Vrchota

/0 Comments/in /by

Romance in Rehoboth is a series from one of my absolute favorite romance authors, KL Montgomery. These novels will entertain you for hours with laughter, tears, and heartwarming love that will restore your faith in the modern day love story. I have enjoyed this entire series and was ecstatic to find out these were released in box sets to be enjoyed in one sitting and shared easily with others. That is one of the best things about box sets is getting the ability to easily give the books you love to someone else. This is the collection of books four through six and has; Badge Bunny, Wedding War, and Stage Mom all in one place. I have included a bit of a review for my favorite out of these three, Badge Bunny but all books are fab and worth a read!

BADGE BUNNY Book#4

Gahhhh! I adored Badge Bunny from KL Montgomery. Montgomery is a one-click author for me and I generally get her books without even reading the synopsis because I know it will be amazing what I read between the covers if it is from her! I have adored every single book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. Each time I find myself saying, I love this couple the most out of all of the Rehoboth couples, then bam! KL throws me for a loop and I suddenly find myself changing my opinion after each book. I have personally read all the books available in this series, but they are written to where you don’t have to in order to enjoy each one. I would recommend that you do though because we see pieces of each couple throughout the series, and well they all rock. So why not? One-click the whole series and set aside a day to spend in Rehoboth!

In Badge Bunny we get the story of Chris and Brynne. These two were some really fun characters to read. Brynne is a doctor, but there is more to her than just that. In the past she has made the repeated mistake of falling for men with badges, hence her nickname of ‘Badge Bunny’. She isn’t a huge fan of the nickname, or the past hurts that these men have caused her. So she has decided to swear off men with a badge. This doesn’t really prove to be an issue until she runs into Chris at a wedding of mutual friends.

Chris, a state trooper and a badge man, has had a thing for Brynne from the moment he laid his eyes on her in the ER. It isn’t until they are forced to work together in a crisis at a friend’s wedding that he even gets a chance to get to know the real Brynne.

Both Brynne and Chris have secrets that will come into play and prose some issues that will need to be worked through together. When a romance starts to finally blossom between the two will they be able to find a way to make it work?

I can promise this will have you laughing side-splitting laughs out loud one moment, and choking back tears the next. Just the right balance of everything makes this an engaging and relatable novel to devour. I can’t wait to see what will come next from KL Montgomery!
