Flowers of Evil (Hani's Daughter Mysteries Book 1)Flowers of Evil by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

NL has given us a brand-new series to enjoy which is a spinoff of the The Lord Hani Mysteries. Flowers of Evil is the first book in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries series.
Set in Ancient Egypt this mystery is full of rich and vibrant historical details, passion and vivid descriptions of a time from long ago but brought to life by NL’s loving care. I enjoy learning just that little bit more history about Ancient Egypt with each story NL shares.
It would not be the exciting tale without all the intrigue and mystery, drama and secrets, lies and danger and that is just what NL gives her readers.
Nefereti and her friend find themselves between a rock and a hard place but decide to take matters into their own hands to try to find a killer. With evil lurking unfortunately, trouble comes knocking and danger is the name of the game.
This suspenseful tale sees our characters having to deal with murder, scepticism, malice, a rival healer and much more.
You will not be disappointed in this new series. I look forward to the next adventure.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have said it once and I will say it again, please please please check trigger warnings. Your mental health is important. I will start this out with I feel like I should have read the book Craving Control before this, that way I would have had a little more understanding. But that is on me and of no fault to the author. When she says she writes dark she means it! I love a good love triangle and Zeke, Lily & Slash did not disappoint. And add in the MC portion of this and I was HOOKED. The emotions and turmoil on these pages were so good! I cannot wait to move on to the next and go back and read Craving Control!

Twisted Eros (Modern Mythica Book 1)Twisted Eros by Aria Skylar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kay is a business woman through and through, she is the rising star of her company and is involved in every decision be it small, or large and she is always thinking ahead, the only thing is that she is so good at her job, she feels that she can’t not be there, she has to be involved or everything will fall apart. This is where she struggles with her life, she is unable to switch off and her sisters are both annoyed by this and worried about her, so when they eventually persuade her to take a break, it isn’t one that is what you would call a stereotypical vacation, they have booked her an “abduction vacation” because that is the only way that she will rest, is if she is forced to do it.

When the morning comes for her vacation to start, she is extremely reluctant still and just wants to back out, however, her sisters are having none of it and they make her pack her suitcase and tell her the arrangements for the day, or at least as much as they can anyway, so when she hasn’t even left her apartment, she feels someone’s arm around her and before she can scream a hand is clamped over her mouth. The only thing she knows is that the person will be wearing a mask, will be tall and handsome and will be keeping her company for a whole month, so when they move to their secret hideaway, she is not allowed to see the journey, only feel the sensations of traveling and this is more disorienting than Kay expected and when she is allowed to open her eyes, it isn’t what she expected and neither is the man.

Eros is a man on a mission and his mission is Kay, but she isn’t what he thought at first glance and from the first interaction, he is thrown off balance and over the next couple of weeks, he intends to do the same to her, but when his perception of her shifts and she elves further into her darker desires, he is left reeling, but can this vacation give Kay the rest and relaxation she needs, or will the two twist each other around so much that they have no idea who they are anymore? This is a twisted romance in more ways than one and when hearts are on the line, feelings are raw and true intentions are hidden, inside a dark hideaway revealing more than either is willing to show, in this dark and sexy story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tempting Fate is Book One in the Black Shamrocks MC: Australia trilogy, but the second book in the series. This book is dark, angsty, romantic, steamy, and intense. It centers around the character of Lily who has worked hard to reclaim her life and move forward. Lily is strong, ferocious, smart, determined, and refuses to back down or play the part of a victim. After fighting for her life and finally beginning to see a bright future her past comes back to haunt her. Lily has Zeke/Venom by her side to protect her and look out for her, but her family and MC world seem to be crumbling. Lily loves her MC family and will do anything for them, but will they have her back when she needs it? I loved the character of Lily and how ferocious and strong she was. Her and Zeke were well matched, but it was such a rocky road for them because there always seemed to be something or someone getting in their way. This book had passion, chemistry, romance, drama, suspense, grief, trauma, betrayal, and will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Warning: It also contains subject matter that may be a trigger for some so please read the author’s warning prior to choosing to read this.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a cute second-chance romance. Two college kids made a pact that they would marry each other if they weren’t married by age 40. Theresa has put her own spin on this trope, Phoebe has many fears regarding relationships due to her parents failed marriage and runs. There is great character development, the characters are relatable, and they bicker but still love each other hard. Recommend to anyone who enjoys second-chance romance stories.

While she was there she cames across a few things that needed fixed, so she fixed them. While fixing said items Goldilocks uses six simple machines to get the jobs done.

Flowers of Evil (Hani's Daughter Mysteries Book 1)Flowers of Evil by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries series and it’s very well written. The historical details are amazing and really amplify the great writing in this book. I didn’t realise when I first started reading that the author was an archaeologist, now I know, it’s so obvious – how could they not be?

The author’s writing style flows well, and this paired with their in-depth knowledge really paints the scene and makes for a brilliant immersive story. The characters are also well-constructed and felt real and alive.

I was hooked beginning to end, finding more questions as my earlier ones received answers and I loved it! I absolutely love a good mystery and this one was exactly what I needed. I can’t wait for the rest of the series, if the rest is anything like this one it’ll be brilliant!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Brides and Sinners Astoria Royals series, focusing on Priscilla and Riordan. The pair have history leading to the opportunity for a second chance romance (I enjoy this trope when done well). Of course, things are never easy for couples like this.

There’s drama and a whole lot of danger thrown at the pair and it was a pleasure to join them in their story and navigate the twists and turns with them.

The characters were well-written and I enjoyed the author’s writing style – it flows well and paints vivid pictures of both the characters and scenery.

I look forward to reading the rest of the series, and the books I’ve missed.

The Ring of Eagna (The Cross of Ciaran #4)The Ring of Eagna by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As a fan of this historical romance with a paranormal twist, I was excited to read this latest novel and I was not disappointed. The story continues, with Ciarán and Aodhán Donnelly who feel like old friends now. A monk in tenth-century Ireland records the legend of a mythical treasure which needs three ancient rings to access it. A thousand years later, and Ciarán and Aodhán then discover the manuscript and are convinced the tale refers to the relics of their fifth-century priesthood. However, the tome warns that to retrieve the fabled cache without the rings will cause dire consequences. As the brothers already have two rings they decide to locate the third, whilst recovering the hidden artefacts for the museum. Their treasure hunt soon turns deadly when they realise they are not the only ones searching for the sacred artefacts, and it seems their rivals are willing to do anything to find them. However, they would need to acquire the rings they already have, and they will not relinquish them without a fight! As usual the descriptive narrative brings both the characters and setting vividly to life making me feel immersed in the story. The storyline continues from the previous book, so I would personally recommend reading the series in order. I was hooked throughout and the plot kept me gripped and happily turning the pages. The historical details transported me back in time and I found the glossary at the end of the book very helpful. An enjoyable and engaging read.

Flowers of Evil (Hani's Daughter Mysteries Book 1)Flowers of Evil by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flowers of Evil is Book One in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries Series. The story centers around the characters of Bener-ib and Neferet who have set up a medicinal dispensary for the poor people of Egypt. Unfortunately, they discover that nobody trusts them, and their business is failing. When a dying man is brought to them for care Neferet and Bener-ib realize he was murdered. Neferet becomes determined to solve the mystery of the man’s murder and ends up involving her family in something far more sinister than she was anticipating. This book was well written and the author’s attention to detail about ancient Egypt and its culture really drew me in. The characters were relatable, likable, and I found myself rooting for them throughout the story. This was a great historical cozy mystery and I look forward to reading more in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Black Shamrocks MC: Australia Duplicity Trilogy, but not the first in the overall series. There is so much in this book: secrets, betrayal, action, twists and more.

This book is very dark, so I would highly recommend checking the trigger warnings before reading!

The characters are complex, well-written and believable. They tug on the heartstrings, playing on your emotions and occasionally leave you stunned. I really felt for Lily, she’d already been through so much that no one should ever go through, only to have more awfulness thrown at her.

I haven’t read the previous books in the full series but will do now as I feel I would get so much more out of this one if I had. I look forward to reading more from this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An entertaining historical cozy mystery drama which had me hooked throughout. Set in ancient Egypt and two women, Neferet and Bener-ib open a medical dispensary. Neferet is the daughter of Hani, who features in another series by the author, which I also thoroughly enjoyed. The first patient is a dying florist of Amen whose last words are very mysterious. Neferet and Bener-ib need to find the killer in order to appease the ba of the murder victim. However, they have to deal with the skepticism of their own families, as well as the malice of a rival healer. Luckily, their teenage apprentice turns out to be a natural detective. The women soon discover that in trying to do the right thing they have put themselves in danger. I love Neferet and Bener-ib as the main characters, they are so well defined that I felt like I knew them! The descriptive narrative brought the setting vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the story, and the added historical details transported me to ancient Egypt. The notes at the beginning of the book were very interesting and set the scene for the story, and I found the list of characters helpful. An enjoyable and engaging read, and I look forward to the next adventure with Hani’s daughter!

Neferet and Bener-ib two highly trained sunet (healers) find themselves caught in the middle of a murder because of Neferet’s tendency to not drop things.
While sitting in their new dispensary waiting for patients, comes a few men carrying their master Sen-em-iah the bearer of divine offerings of Amen. He was gravely injured and passed in their care, he utters his last word ” rabbit” which sends Neferet into investigation mode. As Neferet investigates she drags her whole family into it, and finds herself and her family in a huge conspiracy involving Egypt’s holy hierarchy and police.
A very well thought out mystery that continued to surprise chapter after chapter.

This Mafia romance had me flipping the page for more. Danger, drama, suspense, forced marriage, and lots of steam. What more could you ask for.

The bits of history and culture that are sprinkled throughout the book are informative and work well into the story. You truly can close you eyes and get the feeling as though you’re in Egypt.

I really loved these books. I’ve loved this author’s work since the first book. Their knowledge of ancient Egyptian history and all the intricate details are amazing and captivating and really brings this story to life.
This is the first book in the Hani’s Daughter’s Mysteries series.
In this story we are with Neferet and Bener-ib. They have moved and set up their own place to provide medical aid to the poorer people who wouldn’t normally have access to it. However things go the way they planned as no one comes to them. They don’t understand why people are so skeptical of them and untrusting of their care. They think by approaching a fellow practitioner they could find a way of sharing the load but how wrong they were.
Add to this intense rivalry a unsolved murder. When a man is brought into their care dying it is clear he was murdered. But why would someone want to kill a florist? Who is responsible for this murder? Neferet is her father’s daughter so she embarks on trying to solve this mystery as well as ward off the danger that comes to them from their rival practitioner.
This story is action packed and the indepth knowledge the author has about Ancient Egypt really brings these stories to life for me.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is definitely a dark book, but not nearly as dark as in the prequel Craving Control. Beware of the trigger warnings, because it does get down to the nitty-gritty in some parts of the book, but if you like dark and soulful books, this is the one for you! Love, hate, worship, deceit, betrayal, altruism, infidelity, and extreme tension; this book has it all. The love between Lily and Venom is so pure and raw, but gets overshadowed by each character’s inability to stop themselves from putting themselves in danger for each other and the ones that they love. Are they soulmates or are they just two people that fell in love at a young age and have fooled themselves into thinking that they are each others’ forever? I am dying to find out! Between the malice of the president of the club, the games that the rivals are playing at, and the potential rat in the nest, it’s left me wondering… just who will be Lily’s husband by the end of the next book and where does that leave the club? Absolutely phenomenal and must read!

The excitement to read the next in this series. I am a big fan of this series. The author has written it to feel so authentic. She includes a map, glossary and a dictionary. The characters are so uniquely written that they are such a joy to read. Ciaran and his brother can make me feel like I’m on the treasure hunt with them because of all the descriptions and the stories that are shared. Cait is torn, yet not, because there are so many to watch the kids. I loved trying to figure out which is the bad guy. I don’t think I would want to go on family vacations with them because they always end up in trouble, but they roll with it. I’ve loved this series and I can’t wait to read more books from this author. I love her style of writing and how authentic she makes it feel. This is a must read.

Riordan and Priscilla’s story had me right from the start. Man, the action was there. Her tragic story from her teen’s ripped my heart out (the author does give a trigger warning. Make sure to read it). These two come back together and the action is sparking and full of chemistry as they try to avoid but can’t. I haven’t read the first two in the series but you can bet I will now. I loved the characters. They just fit the mafia stereotype so well. Priscilla didn’t quite fit the mafia daughter type but she’s trying to overcome so much. The story can be graphic but it’s a good romance that is worth reading.

I have read a few of this author’s books and she continues to blow my mind. I love how she writes from both characters’ points of view. That makes me feel like I know the characters very well. This is the first book of a new series called Bound by Blood. This book is the perfect introduction to an addictive series. I could not put this book down until the end. This author knows how to keep you on your toes until the very end. I can’t wait to see what she will write next.

Salvatore had a horrible childhood. He was an orphan at a very young age and just because of who he came from made him at the bottom of the family. Salvatore is now an adult and he only has one thing on his mind: revenge. He has been waiting in the shadows and now it is time. Salvatore has a very big soft spot for the girl that helped him, Serafina. She has a duty to marry to save her family and she feels a calm on who it is to the dark stranger : Salvatore for her childhood. Will the both find a way to love each other even though it is for the family or will they never find the peace they are both looking for?
