My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author once again takes you along on an incredible multiverse, multi-layered adventure story that you are unable to put down. You are taken along on a journey in a race against time, with characters that literally jump of the pages! You can’t help but become more and more invested in all the characters stories as the plot carries on growing.

This book has been created with such detail and descriptive writing you can’t help but mentally visualise the entire read and feel as though you are there within the story itself. It makes it that much more real, intriguing and totally captivating.

I highly recommend this book and I’ll be eagerly awaiting to see what else this author brings – and how much more this multi-verse expands!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Anything to do with paranormal is a must-read for me, and this book is no different! I was intrigued to read it just from the book cover and then reading the synopsis drew me in even more, and boy I wasn’t disappointed.

This book captivated me from the start, from the vivid storyline to the brilliant relatable, lovable characters that really bring this story together.
Kingsley and Eva have some brilliant chemistry that really connected them and made their attraction to each other even stronger! After following their journey together in this read I couldn’t help but hope they get their HEA!

After reading this I can’t wait to read more by this author and see what else this author brings, until then I highly recommend this read! It’s not to be missed!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Age of Secrets (The Druid’s Brooch Series 8) by Christy Nicholas is another wonderful fantasy book in the series and easy to get lost in the storyline and characters. It is a creative adventure full of action and danger, and magic. Christy has a way of writing to make the story pop off the page and the plot is always well developed making the characters come to life.

In this book Fingin is sent off on a journey to find his grandmother. Fingin along with his friends have to face the danger and the obstacles set in his path. Fingin finds his grandmother but things are not what they seem. Now you have to grab a copy if you want to know what happens.

Indebted to the VampiresIndebted to the Vampires by Erin R. Bedford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Indebted to the Vampires (House of Durand Book 1) by Erin Bedford is not only a paranormal romance story it is also a reverse harem fantasy. There are lots of vampire stories out there and it still amazes me that authors can come up with something different but that is exactly what Erin has done. The story is fun and entertaining and the characters were well developed individuals and with so many they each had their own quirks, crazy and flaws but that is what made the story. It is easy to read but it does need some revision done on the editing which slowed down the flow. I hated where it ended, it was just getting good and can’t wait for the next one.

Having previously read a book by Naomi Valkyrie I knew no matter that she was a go-to author and I would read anything she wrote, having Rebecca E. McEwen join in with that writing made this read stand out even more! This is a brilliant captivating fantasy read that’s fast-paced full of mentally visual content the entire read and difficult to put down, its full of action, adventure and has an amazing storyline and brilliant characters who’s journey I thoroughly enjoyed following! Not only did the synopsis pull me in but I was intrigued by the cover of the read that could tell a story of its own! Both of these authors writing flowed effortlessly and seamlessly and I was disappointed it had ended! I can’t wait to see what else comes from these two authors whether individually or together, either way, I will eagerly be awaiting more!

Phoebe Alexander has done it again! Every time I think she won’t exceed the book before she keeps proving me wrong! This read can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading them as part of a series! Phoebe Alexander each time creates a storyline and characters that are well developed, real and captivating. I loved following the characters journey throughout watching them grow into even stronger characters, and finding their self. This book has steaminess, romance and emotion, and makes it a hard read to put down! I can’t wait for more from this author, I can’t wait to explore more characters from this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t know how many more times I can keep praising Manda Mellett and her incredible reads! Each book she creates just seems to get better and better, to the point I never wanted it to end!

This book takes you on an emotional journey, in which this time was following two stories! We follow Lizard’s & Mace’s story each just as powerful and emotional in their own way. We get raw emotions, action, adventure, suspense, danger, passion, romance and heartbreak, it is jammed packed with an incredible storyline and its a read you can’t help but be utterly captivated and invested in, wanting to find out whether our main characters who rightly deserve to get their HEA.

This read is made even better by the fact that it’s written in various POV’s it helps you really connect and understand the characters more, really help you find out what they are really thinking and feeling and I can’t help but connect with them, love them and totally root for them even more.

Manda Mellett can’t do any wrong, she gives us emotion and sexiness without overwhelming you with too much and to make it even better she gives us some hot MC’s. I can’t wait to see what she brings us next, I will eagerly be awaiting more from this series and anything she creates!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a read! Indebted to the Vampires Is my first read by Erin R. Bedford and after reading this I can’t wait to get my hands on the other books in the series.

I loved the characters that this author has created each of them stand out and you can’t help but be intrigued by the 6 gorgeous leading men! Piper was everything and more I love that she stood up for herself and always said what she wanted to say, she was witty, funny a bit clumsy but most of all she was herself and with that came the connections she made with the men. We can’t forget to mention Darren, while in the beginning, I was unsure of him, in the end, I think he is exactly the right person to kind of help Piper navigate this world that she finds herself in the middle of!
This was a brilliant captivating storyline from the start until the very end. It’s a mentally visual read which made it even more impossible to put down the read. I couldn’t get enough of the chemistry whether sexual, flirtatious, frustration and anger that came from the connections these characters made with each other, It was as though she has always known them! I loved that it was written in multiple POV’s as it really gave you a better insight into each character and their thoughts and real feelings.

My only issue was that ending! How could it end like that I can only imagine how book 2 will go! I have a feeling we are going to be in for another epic journey of suspense, action, sexiness and total brilliance of Piper!
I cannot wait!
I highly recommend this read!

Endless Night by R.M. Gilmore is the second book in the Dylan Hart series. This is a brilliant follow up to the first book. I would advise to read them in order as it follows the same character.
It was so good to get back into the character that is Dylan. She was just as strong and entertaining as in the first book. The story has been well developed, building on what the first book established. I was instantly drawn back into the characters and the story. It was interesting, entertaining and just great writing.

Anne by Zarina Macha is a book that deals with some serious issues in a sympathetic and engaging way. As a young adult book it touches on subjects that a lot of others in the genre tend to stay away from. It really takes you on the ups and downs of being an adolescent and delves into issues that a lot of them face in today’s society.
With that being said it is quite an easy book to read. It has a nice steady pace about it and the author builds up the characters well. This is one of those books that I think for people in the genre it is definitely worth a read! And for those who don’t usually read this genre I would suggest they give it a go.

OMG! Why did I not know about this book before now! I am always on the lookout for vampire books and I am so glad this one fell into my lap! This story! These vampires! That Maid! All so sassy and sexy. I devoured this book in a few hours! It’s one I read late into the night. Who was going to get the maid? What is she going to break next? Will Antoine ever smile? Will the vampire get earplugs? Ha ha that one just makes me smile. They shouldn’t listen to what they don’t want to know… right? Right?

Well this is a first time author for me. If you couldn’t tell…I LOVED this story and these characters! They are both lively. The story is engaging and easy to read with many ups and downs. I can not wait to dive into the second book to see what happens next.

I LOVED this book! The storyline is so good! I didn’t want to put this one down! It’s smooth and flows along very effortlessly. Then there are the wonderful characters. The author is able to bring these characters to life with words. I could picture them and what they were doing easily. It is such a delight!

I enjoyed seeing a “tells it’s like it is” woman. She is strong self-assured and knows that she can do things herself. Then we meet the cantankerous sheriff. He has pain hidden deep and would like nothing more than to fade into the woodwork. But once he gets threatened with a wrench, from a “little spitfire”, he starts to wonder about his life. That’s when the fun starts. The tension between these two is just rolling off the pages! Their antics are like watching a movie in my head! Then there is the back and forth angry, desperate conversations. I can’t help but enjoy reading those. How she challenges him and how he frustrates her.

All of the secondary characters (and there is a lot) are delightful as well. They all add to the story. I loved each of their issues and how they tried to deal with them. My favorite thing was the tenants of the boarding house were mostly elderly. They All have interesting personas and reasons for being there.

This is a suspenseful story with a side of romance. I really enjoyed reading this and I highly recommend.

What ensues between them is just out and out good story telling. The author weaves her words in such a way that it creates a unique and interesting book. If this is only the first in the series then I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for us.

I enjoyed this story. It’s the second in the series. In here we get to delve deeper into each of the characters we have met. While there is a problem on campus they have become involved in because of Celia’s new roomie.

There is much to love about these characters. The whole dryad (tree) Fae thing. How she can step into trees. Then in the library I loved the idea of how the books were crying having their knowledge ripped from them. Then the dryad struggled as well because….well books are paper and paper was trees…genius! Logan with his “seeing the truth” and the Japanese squirrel and the cat (Jib). All great! I don’t even know what to say about the doppelgänger. Just freaky!

I love the world this author has created. Anyone who reads paranormal fantasy should love this. It tickles the funny one and engages the grey matter.

This is really a wonderful read! The story has its ups and downs. But really towards the end….I couldn’t put it down. Those words he wrote are worth tearing up over. The characters we have met almost all of them previously (if you read Fat Girl). This story made me like Claire, Jack and Anita more. Each showed great growth in their character. I enjoyed how not every thought of Claire was self doubt on her looks, thoughts or actions. It was nice plus she got some backbone. Jack went from a sexy man beast to an unrecognizable Star. For Anita? She surprised me the most and I have to say I loved all the Darth Vader references to her.

Overall this is a story I read really quickly. It has a nice flow and the plight of the characters kept me reading. Jacks song’s were great but even more because he wrote them for Claire. I didn’t realize he had that in him. Very Enjoyable!

Do you love books that you just can’t seem to put down? How about the ones that you read way past your bedtime? With this book I accomplished both of those! I can’t even say what made me do it. The way it was written, the characters I couldn’t say no to or or because this storyline just called to something inside me. Well..in this case it’s all three.

I ab-so-lutly LOVE the relationship these besties have and I’m not just talking about the girls. Ashton and Becker have amazing banter between them that it’s easy to tell they have been friends years. They make me laugh when they get throwing words back and forth. Even the wonderful brother sister bond is so strong. It’s easy to see why all of these kids love and protect each other.

Ashton is a dreamboat of epic proportions! I don’t think he can say or do anything wrong. In fact I have many highlighted words from this man. Everyone wants to hear what he is saying. Just to them.

I loved this story so much! The friendships, brotherhood, the protectiveness….heck even the sassy chatter and the love all make this a five star read!

As I said the story is explosive. The characters have skills and do thing I could or would never dream of doing. They all have troubled pasts that come back to haunt them. Keegan’s seemed just terrible. Somehow he was able to overcome and become better. His long time love Kara shows up and catches him off guard. From there they are busy bodies working two different cases to the same end.
Over all this is extremely action packed and I feel it’s a good addition to the series.

She appears confident. The connection between these two was extra warm. Those kisses could really have went somewhere if not for that cat. The drama with the psycho ex was scary at how true it could be.

I really enjoyed this book! The best was HIM. He is just so SEXY and alpha. Some of the things he says….I loved it! The second best is the stalker story. I really struggled most of the book to figure it out. There are also other lines of suspense that filter in throughout the story. I did struggle at times with the wording placement and the beginning seemed dry. The main character, Larkin, at times was strong and others I just didn’t understand her. She seemed so stiff and unlikable. Slowly she gained and became more than just her tears and being afraid. This story did really pick up its pace in the middle and towards the end.

This is my first book by this author. Overall it’s a good story. It has elements that are enjoyable as well as unknown. I will look into Why, her next in the series

However the characters in the book more than made up for it. What a journey they will take you on. I was as torn as the MC in this book as to who I was more drawn to.
