House Valdis Origins: Xenobia is a book that packs a big story into a short amount of time. This is book 0 of the House Valdis Originals. It gives the background of Xenobia, the main character, and her best friend Urd. This book was an extremely fast read as it is pretty short. The characters are intriguing, and the story is unpredictable and tragic, with a nice ending. Xenobia’s story is an exciting one to follow and her journey has just begun.
This is book 1 of the Elite series. It tells the story of Cole and Riley who have a hot an steamy but can’t stand each other relationship. Will they give in to the lust for each other or will they let their stubbornness get in the way?

Resisting Nature (Powder River Pack Series) by Brooke May – Review by Jessica Stone
So, this is the first book from this author that I’ve read, and I know that its book 4 but from the synopsis I was hoping I wasn’t going to be to lost and I wasn’t. I believe that other characters stories from previous novels and future novels kind of overlap in this book but not to the point where I felt lost or unable to read this without the prior books being read first. So, that being said, no, it’s not a standalone BUT if you do read it out of order, you’ll be ok.
I love shifter romance books so this one was right up my alley, I of course enjoyed the mating bond clicking into place pretty much immediately between on two main characters I think that adds a interesting air to there interactions in the book from the get go. Its also very interesting how it’s kinda like they both know but don’t know they other knows, type of thing at first, makes for a fun time.
I feel like the relationship, banter interactions and scenes that played out throughout this book are really fun, the main characters have amazing chemistry, which makes it’s hot and sultry but it’s also playful and fun. I think the pack interactions are pretty much what you would picture from a bunch of male shifter, also didn’t mention that ONLY men are shifters in this book, wild right, as if there wasn’t already enough testosterone.
The author made this fun by starting off pretty quickly in the present but adding dangers from Alexa’s past throughout the book to bring everything to a head, I haven’t read a wolf shifter like this one before. Miles is so endearing to me, literal puppy love, he’s so ready and willing and accepting for everything that is Alexa I could not help but love him, and Alexa bless her heart, just wants a safe and normal future, so it’s kinda ironic that she meets miles while running from her past that’s stepped in abuse from the very thing miles is.
I’m trying so hard not to spoil this book, because I found it really interesting and didn’t see all the twists and turns coming but I do think that if I had the chance to go back and read the first three before this one I absolutely would just to be ever more immersed in this world and the packs.

Marcy is called in to help out her friend Justine as a costume designer for an upcoming production of Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” when Justine is called away to other duties. Marcy shows up and the director comes across as very brash and condescending after Marcy was told that he was a big teddy bear and very sweet. First impressions matter! As Marcy is attending rehearsals to gather the needed information to fit everyone for costumes, she suddenly finds herself reading lines for the female star of the show. The actress casted for this part has never shown up for any rehearsals and no one knows where she is or if she’s ok. Marcy fits in great with the cast and soon finds herself not only as the costume designer but also as a lead actress.
There are some very strange occurrences in the costume loft. Weird flashes of lights, sounds of chains rattling, and bats just to name a few things. Marcy is able to see auras and along with her friend, Tess, they are able to see into the supernatural world. Marcy and Tess “meet” Ellen, the original female lead from 50 years ago who mysteriously died during the production of the show. Can Marcy and Tess figure out this mystery and put Ellen to rest?
This book is very enjoyable, as was the first book in this series. This book can be read as a stand alone but why would you want to miss out on all the fun of vintage dresses and historical sightings? I’m hoping there will be more stories in this series to come!

Young – Review by Julie Johnson
I hadn’t heard of this author before, but I was interested in the cover and once I read the synopsis, I knew I had to pick it up. I enjoy the dual points of view the author provides as it always helps give more insight into the characters. I loved that our main female character, Kai, is strong and bold which was refreshing. Waters seems like the typical alpha male, but when he’s put in the same area as independent Kai, what will happen? She needs his help, but will she coordinate with him or will they both be too stubborn? I am eagerly waiting for anything else from this author as they have a beautiful way of crafting this story, and I lost time for an entire afternoon finishing it!

Sasha Smart: Short Stories for Girls is a collection of short stories for girls from the ages of eight to twelve years of age. Each story centers around a young girl named Sasha as she navigates her way through life and tries to overcome things like peer pressure, bullying, and low self esteem. The stories are empowering and encourage young girls to learn self acceptance, overcoming obstacles, standing up for oneself as well as others, and positivity. The messages contained within this collection are great for both boys and girls, and young and old alike. The illustrations throughout the book are bright, colorful and really bring the stories to life. I highly recommend this book for all ages!

Once again another G Pa Rhymes book with absolutely beautiful artwork and a wonderful lesson. This book is great to show kids, lying can hurt others and yourself, and friends will always understand and help you in any situation. I love following along with this group of friends and learning different life lessons along with them.

Cray Crab and his friends, Gray, Fay and Ray are back for another adventure in Beach Ball Blunder, which is part of the Adventures of Cray on the Bay series. I just absolutely adore this series so much and so do my great nieces and nephew as well. The illustrations are beautiful and engaging and the story is just wonderful.
Seal Gray is enjoying a beautiful day playing with his colorful beach ball…but gets in a pickle when his ball bounces away. What happens after the ball causes a mess….Seal Gray learns a valuable lesson…
I do not want to give the story away or any spoilers, but this story is more for baby – 7 years of age, this could be enjoyed even if you are young at heart….and learning a valuable lesson too that we could take to heart.

This book is a great fun romance with a host of brilliant characters. I loved the whole feel of the book from the moment I started reading. It was a great mystery story and yet it still held a light hearted feel to it. The characters had their own journeys to go on and the way the author brought everything together was great. This book was a great addition to the series and really shows off the authors writing style. These are the first ones that I have read and I will definitely be reading many more. I enjoyed this book from start to finished and loved watching the mystery unfold.

Young – Review by Kerry Baker
Divinely Dramatic by Sandra L. Young is a fun ghostly romance tale. It is a fast-paced story that combines romance, mystery and paranormal elements. This is the second book in the series, but it can be read as a standalone.
Marcy is a little eclectic, a talented artist and a vintage fashionista who loves vintage clothing and a good mystery. She has just discovered she has a talent of seeing auras and with-it ghostly friends. At the last minute she and her friends from Divinely Vintage find themselves caught up in a years old mystery for a local theatre group and hopefully send its visitor on her way.
With a little mother daughter angst, a ghostly encounter, a theatre, amateur thespians, vintage clothing and a few manly confusions along the way Divinely Dramatic should not be missed.
This fun tale is filled with unexpected twists, clothes from different periods and a cast of characters that bring the story to life and keep the reader engrossed in the story.

Beach Ball Blunder is another wonderful and exciting book from G Pa that kids will fall in love with.
Not only is it a fun tale but it teaches children that things that they do or say have consequences. It is a good opening to discuss these things with your kids and help them learn. Friendship, trust, forgiveness and truthfulness are very powerful things for children to learn from the get-go. The bright and colourful illustrations by the talented Erica Leigh bring the narrative alive and is as catching as the rhyming the story is told in. Read along as Gray learns a very valuable lesson. This cute story is full of fun and is easy to read.
I look forward to sharing more of G Pa’s stories with my grandbabies.

Giuliana and her best friend Morgan meet up every year at their favorite resort for their shared vacation. It usually is their women’s getaway. They do all kinds of activities and drink and have a great time.
This year, Morgan will be late getting there, because her airports are snowed in. Giuliana gets there two days before Morgan. She has an awesome time before Morgan arrives and also afterwards.
This story tells you about their shared trip. I really enjoyed the story and the characters.
Loved this book! Wonderful main characters, really great tension overall, a very exciting connection! Read this book if you like romance, action, and being on the edge of your seat! It was fun to read a book that had so many different genres in one!

Want a book that will make you slow down and think about things? Then grab this book now. This book is definitely not a quick read…but in such a good way. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I picked up Fuller Sight but I was amazed at Stone’s ability to pull on almost every single emotion all while making you truly think, question, and reflect on everything. This is a very unique read with a unique perspective. Don’t be afraid to pick up this book and step outside of your comfort zone…it’s well worth it.

I liked the premise of this book and I think it was well executed for the most part. I liked that the stories were short and to-the-point to keep the attention of the reader. I also felt that the “lessons” in the stories were very poignant and spot on for today’s girls. The only thing that gives me pause is how much emphasis is put on Sasha being able to attain these attributes comes from her friends. While I completely understand the importance of friends and friendship (especially at this age) I think it is also important to stress that you also have your family (which is shown in the book) but also that these attributes can come from within as well and you don’t always need (or will have) that outside influence there to positively push you. But overall, I would recommend this book and I like the message it sent and the illustrations were absolutely amazing. Reviewed by @meggs1717
This was a good first book in the series. It carried over from the prequel nicely. I thought that the characters were good. The bullies to romance trope isn’t one of my favorites but it fit the genre well. I thought that the plot moved along smoothly and there was a good amount of angst. I like the writing style of this author and do look forward to reading more of her books in the future.

This is the second book in the Divine Vintage series. Even though it is the second book you can read them as standalone reads however I think you will be captivated enough with the story to want to read them in order. I loved the mix of romance, mystery and paranormal. The characters are so well developed and I have to admit Marcy is definately a favourite. Marcy is an assistant costume designer and when she is called up to produce costumes for the show “The Importance of Being Earnest” she gets more than she bargains for. As well as the responsibility of producing the costumes she has to deal with a stubborn director and a mystery of a horrific death that happend 50 years before. I loved how Marcy is gifted to see people’s auras as this is what helps her in her search to unravel the mystery. With strange lights, unexplained noises, and strange creatures this is a fast paced story that will keep you on your toes and has surprises around every corner. I loved being transported back in time and the authors attention to detail really brings the story to life. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Not only do these books flow well together but they are very well written. There are so many nuances and I felt like you really get a good sense of who everyone is and their motivations. The relationship development between the main characters in both books really draw you in to the story and make you want to know what happens.

What a page-turner! This I was the finale of Riley and Cole’s story and I couldn’t put it down. The previous two installments built to this finale and it was full of suspense and steam.
I really enjoyed that character building that took place throughout the story, as well as the romance building. The heat and attraction between Cole and Riley easily come through the pages and you as the reader want them to stop fighting it by trying to hate each other. While this is a romance, the mystery and suspense woven throughout keeps the reader engaged and the author has an effortless writing style. I really enjoyed the way the story comes together, but it was a bumpy ride and well worth the read!

This was an entertaining romance with a paranormal, mystery, and a bit of time-travel twist to it. Book 2 of the Divine Vintage series, Marcy helps her friend, Justine, with costume and has a wild time. You have to read this book to enjoy the adventures that happen in this tale. Jealous girlfriends to grumpy directors to auras and bright lights. I couldn’t put it down. Quite an adventure and a fun read.

A great teachable story about telling lies. Gray is playing with his ball on the beach and things get out of control. We see Gray take responsibility for his actions. I love the bright and colorful illustrations. They rhymes and rhythms of the story really make reading it such a neat adventure when you’re doing storytime with your grandchildren. Mine love it when I read this author’s books . Gray, Cray, Turtle Fay, Hay and the others are such a fun crew and teach at the same time. A must add to family libraries or the classroom library.

T. K. Lawyer is a first-time author for me, so I was excited to read something new and unique! I really enjoyed the fact there were 6 very different short shifter stories; it wasn’t just normal shifter stories. I had never really read a book like this one and it was kind of refreshing to be introduced to a different kind of book. There are stories about a big cat, a gargoyle, a Hellhound, a dragon/vampire hybrid, a wolf, and a great white shifter. Every story was very different but at the same time kind of similar. The characters needed a little bit more developing, but that could just be because they were all pretty short stories. The world building was pretty well thought out, even with the shortened length. I was taken into many different worlds with the stories, you were transported into forests, cities, the ocean, and even the underworld itself all through the creativity of T. K. Lawyer. Some of these stories I would love to see as full-length stories and some of these stories were better left as the short stories. Overall, a quick, interesting read by an author I wouldn’t mind reading more stories from.

This is the second installment in the Nessie series with Craig and Linda along for another adventure! I never hesitate to pick up one of Wickstrom’s books and I love her chapter books as much as I do her picture books. She’s always weaving lessons and learning together in such a way that kids don’t even know they are getting something out of it! This is a book that your older ones can read on their own or you can use this as a family read-aloud. I love the illustrations sprinkled throughout the book and I can’t wait to see what Nessie’s (and Craig and Linda’s) next adventure will be.
