Beautifully illustrated and wonderful book. This book shows the B’s of being yourself. Being comfortable in your skin and embracing all that your culture has to give. Bold. Big-hearted. Brave. Brilliant. Balanced. Blessed. Beautiful. Bilingual. Bountiful. Words to live by when embracing your race, religion, language, culture and so much more. I also loved how the book showed representation of multiple races and cultures in the classroom and his friends.

Grave Digger Academy IV was my favorite of the series, so far. I literally did not put it down, reading it in one sitting. Makayla is back at Grave Digger Academy, but everything is different this year. There is a new headmistress, and a lot of the students didn’t return, or perhaps weren’t invited back, or maybe disappeared….everyone has a different theory. There is so much going on and the plot thickened a lot in this one. Relationships were built with others strengthened and some severed. It wasn’t quite as much of a cliff hanger ending, but left a lot open. I cannot wait for the next book. I need to know where this is heading and ends. Because the things that happened in this book, I did not expect.

Luna the Howling Husky Finds her Howl is a great kids book. I picked it out simply from the cover art. I love the northern lights and huskys, so it was a given I would read it to my son. The book tells a great story, but also has good lessons hidden within. Luna is not like her siblings, she can’t howl like they can, and she looks a little different. She is kind of the outcast, Rudolph, Ugly ducking, black sheep etc. She makes a new friend in a neighborhood cat, who makes a surprise entrance at the end of the story. This story teaches kids (and reminds adults) not to outcast those who are different. Everyone has their own talents and charms, and sometimes you need a best friend to help you shine. We loved the photos of the real life Luna and Nemo at the end, and comparing how great of a job the illustrator did. They were spot on, and all the pictures were so colorful and fun. My one gripe is the inconsistent rhyming. Some parts of the book rhyme and flow well, and others, not so much. Overall, I loved it and want a paper copy!

I have just recently started to really enjoy this type of genre! This author did not disappoint with this thriller. I really enjoy the writing style as this is the second book of hers I have read. They have a way of keeping you interested without being overly descriptive. Karina is not completely sure of who she can trust and keeps running into dead ends as she searches for her grandmother’s diary. Along with the cafe it was left to her when her grandmother passed and Karina was told to read it and take care of the cafe as her grandmother’s dying wish. So when the diary goes missing it becomes a frantic search to find out who took it and why. Is there more in the diary than just her grandmother’s thoughts? With lots of twists in the story and secrets being revealed this book will definitely keep you interested!

I dove into book 4 of this series having not read any of the previous books. This book is geared more towards 8-12 year olds but most, if not all, age groups would enjoy this book. It took me a minute to get into the story and I think it’s because I did not have a back story going into it since I skipped the first three books. However, I found this to be an enjoyable read.
There are ghosts lurking around Amberwood Hall. Some are friendlier than others and it’s up to Lauren and her friends to figure out what’s causing things to go awry at different times. When the big production at the end of the year is cancelled, there is suspicion as to who might be behind the reason.

Wicked Ends: A Dark College Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite) by Isla Vaughn- 5 out of 5 stars
This is the final book in the the Hidden Valley Elite series. What an amazing end to this knock-out series! This author truly put their all into the characters, with their intrigue and personalities all being so unique; I love how all of these books can be read as stand alones just as well as back to back. Winter and Shane faced their own ghosts, healed from their past traumas, and steamed things up between the two of them. This book was very hard to put down. I highly recommend reading this book.

Mission Target (Jake Wolfe Thrillers Book 7) by Mark Nolan- 5 out of 5 stars
This is the seventh book in this dynamic series. The bond that Cody and Jake have is undeniable. This is my first time reading a book from this author so I will definitely need to go back and and read from the beginning. I look forward to reading the books prior to this one as well as any that the author may come out with. I highly recommend this series.

The Cannibal Caper: A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery by Rosalind Barden- 4 out of 5 stars
Second book in this series and Sparky is back only this time she is dealing with a cannibal that has sophisticated tastes. With such great attention to detail, this author time travels you back to 1930’s Los Angeles. You truly feel like you are sleuthing right alongside Sparky. I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next. I highly recommend this book.

Karina is struggling with her life at the moment. She’s attempting to run her grandmother’s cafe to honor her memory. Keeping up with the day to day responsibilities at the cafe s a lot and she is trying to make her grandmother proud after her unexpected deathbed request. When her unreliable and flaky cousin is more focused on her love life than covering her entire shift, life gets a bit exhausting.
When a mysterious diary is uncovered by a nosey guest and then mysteriously disappears, the mysterious plot thickens.
I really enjoyed how well the author wrote and created the characters in this book. While the characters differ on most fronts, all come across the page as authentic and quite unique.
The dynamic plot has a bit of everything to keep the reader engaged throughout the entire story.
You do not need to be a fan of this genre or author to pick up this book, fall in love with the story and become an instant fan of both.

My first read from this author and I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It revolves around an 11 year old named Sparky who is accused of murder. Sparky has to stay undercover to be able to clear her name, but can she do it? I love books that are in a historical setting but this one has a great storyline and attention to detail as well. I highly recommend this book.

Everyone in my family absolutely LOVES all of Lois Wickstrom’s books! We always learn something in a fun and imaginative way. This author could never write too many books because we are always clamoring for more! This story was incredibly informative in a wonderfully whimsical way. The illustrations were also beautiful and added depth to the story. My kiddos laughed when random items began raining from the sky that had been pulled from the lake! Towards the end we got to learn about tornadoes and natural weather phenomena. I highly recommend picking this up and sharing with the young ones in your family!

This is a cute children’s book. It’s a sweet story about being different and accepting that not everyone is the same. I have 2 children on the autism spectrum and I think this will help younger children understand a little bit about accepting themselves.

I have read many books by this author, and I believe that this is my favorite so far! I sat down to read this book on a whim and finished it all at once – sorry for all the responsibilities I otherwise neglected! We get to experience life with 24-year-old Karina who loses her grandmother that raised her. It’s heart wrenching and emotional on every level as Karina herself starts to think she’s going crazy. Once someone steals her grandmother’s diary, she knows something bigger is going on. Spinning an incredibly suspenseful tale, this author will throw twists and turns your way on this rollercoaster. I highly recommend picking it up if you’re looking for a quick book to get lost in!

LOVE the illustrations! So detailed, colorful and there are hidden gems all over! No offense to the story (which is good itself) but I had more fun looking at the pages to see what I could find. Then imagine my surprise when I got to the end and it has all kinds of neat things! A child of any age will easily enjoy looking at all the pages while an older child will like both and get the meaning behind the story. Plus this will help a parent to chat about being kind to others and self.
I really like the “Sometimes we make mistakes and thats okay” little paragraph. The next couple pages are wonderful learning opportunities for all (adults too). This is such a good book all the way around that I can see sending this to families in my circle to help spread the kind word.

Malta is one of my absolute favourite places on earth, so as soon as I read this book ventured to the Isle I knew I had to read it. I really enjoyed this book right from the start. The story was quite complex but was well developed by the author. So much seems to go on and it really drew me in. I loved the characters in the book. It wasn’t just the main characters that made an impact, they all added to the story and made it even better. This is a great story overall and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

Having read a previous book in this series, I was looking forward to discovering more. This book is a sweet and lovely historical romance story. I really connected with the characters in this book and loved watching how they developed. Their relationship didn’t have a typical start but it was great to watch them grow as their journey went on. I don’t always enjoy clean romances, as I can find them a bit boring. But the author of these books creates stories that are interesting enough to keep my attention. I have enjoyed the couple of books that I have read so far and I am excited to see what else is in store.

Creeden – Review by Kerry Baker
The befallen is a great read based in the times of sovereigns lords and ladies. It had a very medieval feel to it but also has the tales of fate and destiny. I would consider this a dystopian novel and Cambria truly delivered.
This dual point of view was perfected with such a transitional ease that nothing was left to question or confuse a reader.
I also feel this book is very inspirational that even if something is holding you back, physically or mentally that achieving success is always still possible.
I give this YA novel a five star rating because it is well deserved. Not many books can pull emotions as well as The Befallen has for me.

Secrets at the Café is a suspenseful mystery with drama, suspense, secrets, lies, rumors, death, loss, grief, and family relationships. The story centers around the character of Karina who has promised her grandmother that she will look after her café after she passes away. This involves Karina moving back to her small hometown and completely upheaving her life, but she loved her grandmother dearly and will do anything to ensure she follows through on the promise she made. Part of the promise Karina made to her grandmother involves reading a journal her grandmother left behind. However, before she has a chance to read it the journal completely disappears. Rumors are circulating around town about a hidden stash of money so everyone is a suspect. With the list of suspects increasing by the moment, Karina has her work cut out for her trying to determine who stole the journal. A tense, action-filled ride, with twists and turns to keep you reading until the final page. The storyline is intriguing, the characters are admirable, and the secrets the missing journal may contain makes for a compelling read. A great read!

Lois Wickstrom has done it again. This is a very cute book that helps kids to understand how wind and rain work, in terms they’re eager to understand. Brightly colored and well illustrated pictures help to tell the story from a visionary standpoint. I absolutely recommend this book for young kids learning about weather and how it works.

Slay It With A Diamond is Book Three in The Diamond District Mystery Series. It is a cozy mystery with drama, suspense, action, danger, secrets, lies, humor, and witty banter. The story is set in New York City’s Diamond District and centers around the character of Mimi who is an amateur sleuth. Mimi used to be a journalist and loves a good mystery that she can delve into. As she digs into the mystery behind a cursed diamond she uncovers long-buried secrets, family feuds, and scandals that put her life in danger. A great read that takes Mimi into the cutthroat world of diamonds and how sinister it can be. The characters are quirky, and Mimi is someone that can be simultaneously smart and somewhat naive. Her boyfriend seems to help her remain focused and grounded. An entertaining read with twists and turns that will compel you to read to the end.

This is the second book in the J. J Morris. I would suggest reading these books in order so that you get the full experience and fully enjoy this author’s writing. This is a really interesting paranormal mystery book for YA, however older readers would enjoy this as well. The author’s character building is amazing and the world building is so good you can’t help being drawn into it. This is a story filled with mystery, danger, twists and turns as well as the challenges faced by a young girl.
Joey is now at college. After everything that happen previously she is struggling to come to terms with it all and with the realisation that the world isn’t what she first thought it was. Her eyes are now open wide to all the dangerous out there. As she tries to struggle through her studies while she is being plagued by dreams things start to happen that don’t make sense. Fires start to happen at the school. Is this just to people playing pranks or could it be something else? As the fires happen more often Joey’s dreams take a more violent and terrifying turn. Who is trying to get to her through her dreams and why? With the fires, the terrifying dark dreams and people going missing on campus will Joey be able to solve all these mysteries, protect herself and pass this semester in college or will it all be too much for her and will she fall into her dark dreams that the Dream Conductors are placing in her mind. When you are already confused about the real world, how can to figure out what is real and what is a fantasy?
This story is gripping and I loved the adventure the author took me on. I really felt for Joey as she was going through her struggles and trying to figure out what is normal in her life now. After she has had her eyes opened is it even possible for her to return to just being a normal student. Me personally I think she has seen to much to ever be just a normal person again.
I’m a sucker for shiny things and murder so when I had an opportunity to read about diamonds and murder…sign me up! This is book 3 in the series and while you don’t necessarily need to read the other 2, I think it would help. I liked the idea of the plot being a hybrid learn about diamonds/murder mystery and it was done well…but there were parts that were very slow for me and just really kind of overdone. The beginning was hard for me to get into, but once I did, it was able to keep my interest. I also felt that there was a lot of time spent on characters that weren’t necessarily integral to the plot and that slowed the book down as well. I liked it…it was a fine read.

This was a lovely, reverse fairy tale with some spice. This book starts with a young lady, Claire, and her friends at a restaurant where Nick is a waiter.
They start out as a fling, but quickly started to fall for each other. Though they’d never admit it out loud.
If you’re looking for some spice yet a friendly romance, then I definitely recommend this book.
I enjoyed reading this children;s book. This is an author that enjoys reading her children’s books for sure. This is a story about Carrie and how she finds a pair of antique wings. Will she be able to figure out how to make them fly? Will she learn the magic of love? This is a cute story that would be great for any child. It is a story that has great illustrations. I enjoyed how the author made the story come to life through them. It is an easy story to read. I highly recommend this children’s book.
An enjoyable and engaging historical romance which kept me captivated throughout. Although it’s part of a series it can be read as a standalone story. Each one is about one of twenty brides who have to marry in order to travel to Oregon on the wagon train. Dorothy Mason is a widow looking for a new start moving from Virginia and travelling west to Oregon. It’s not until she arrives in Missouri that she discovers that to travel on the wagon train she must marry again. Having sold her old house and everything she owns, Dorothy has no choice even though she had decided never to marry again, due to her broken heart. Reverend Elias Stone believe’s in bringing lost souls to the Lord, and feels that it’s his calling in life to help those that are lost and moving out west in search of gold and riches. He arranges to join a wagon train heading to Oregon and California but before his journey begins he finds himself in a harrowing situation, that nearly ends his life and potentially stop him from travelling.
His only option is to consider marrying a woman he doesn’t know, but he thinks maybe it’s God’s plan. Elias and Dorothy marry with the understanding they will get an annulment once they reach Oregon. However, having spent the long journey together maybe their plans will change, especially if they end up falling in love. This is a heartwarming, sweet romance with an intriguing storyline and wonderful characters. Both Dorothy and Elias are likeable and relatable, and I loved how their relationship developed throughout the story and their connection really came across. The setting was brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative and the added historical details transported me back to the era, and I felt as though I was travelling alongside the couple on the wagon train. I look forward to reading other books in this series.

Creeden – Review by Jennifer Gordon
This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I enjoy their writing style as well as their attention to details that make the stories realistic. This book is no different. It is a story that is well written with characters that are written with a lot of heart. A story about a widow who is just trying to start over and destiny brings two people together. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into the story. They are connectable, relatable and kept me engaging throughout the story. I enjoyed the growth which made the story easy to read. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.
