my gosh I love every one of these books in this series. Cole & Riley are so hot together. They continue fighting their connection in this book but it’s seriously chefs kiss 💋 some of the topics can be a little dark but it works well with the romance and spice in this book. Cole sure can put on a show for others when really he means the opposite. He loves Riley and he learns a lot more about her in this book just as Riley learns a lot about Cole. It’s nice not having to read about the bully girls in HS in this book too! They were terrible in the last book. But i thoroughly enjoyed these books though and I highly suggest you check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Only thing I’m disappointed about is that the book ended when I just want to read about them forever lol.

This love story has everything, action, adventure, and twisty turns. He is a mafia boss and he is falling hard for Adrianna’s hard exterior. Will Adrianna be his undoing? Will Salvatore live up to the Larussio kingdom standards? A good stand-alone book to read.

Fae and vampire meet in this exciting novella by Hadley Thorne. This is my first time reading from this author and reading from this genre. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the book started out with something I was familiar with- Tuatha de Danann. My curiosity was piqued and as the story progressed had to find out what happened!

Ahh let me tell you I love an enemy to the family turned love story! In the second Sicilian God’s, we follow cousin Dominic in his path to love but there is a huge problem. The girl who has caught his eye is our rival’s daughter, Emelia. Dominic is just out for information but will that be all? In this spicy story you’ll fall for them both.

So, this last one got me itching to know who in the world can do this to Troy. But Troy wants to save those whom he cares for but the new High King is not allowing him to do this instead making everything hard for him, Troy was left out and now he had to go back in time to seek help and wisdom. The author did an amazing job. I had to read all 3 series to see and understand the whole story.
Amazing story by C.L. Schneider, when I first saw this book, I was not quite sure if this fit in my likes but a couple of chapters took me to a whole new level. Troy is an amazing character but so much in his hands after he took The Crown of Stones in his hands. Like they always told me be careful about what you wish for, in this case, he was not careful and the past to the present and the future realms are coming after him. Troy was not wise enough to stay away but now he sees what he wants and it is to use the power to save the realms. To continue to the 2nd book…
2ND BOOK, I can’t believe this happened to Troy. I was shocked that they took his power and even his memory. When I read that Troy will do anything to be the one person he was, but time is getting harder for him because all the people he cared for are suffering and his old enemy Draken became the High King. Towards the middle, Troy realizes that he has more scars on his body, and when he started seeking answers it leads to more secrets and more truth to his inheritance.
If you have read the first two stories of the Sicilian God’s books then you know this is a family business and it is serious. In this tale, you meet Lorenzo and Isabella, Izzy for short. Izzy is a reporter and is determined to get the story and gets an extra with Lorenzo.What happens when her article causes her danger? Will Lorenzo save her? The novels get better each time. I recommend reading them all.

Wonderful! I feel like this story could have been extended longer with all the fighting, flirting, and life issues going on with Cole and Riley but, I think that is just me not wanting this series to end. I love Cole and Riley together and both of their parents made me mad with how selfish they were. The showdown with Riley’s dad finally happening was exciting and nerve wracking, and I loved every minute of this book. The characters are all either very love-able or very hate-able which gave the story so much more!

Lost in the fantasy I didn’t want this to end. Magnificently executed, I just love the vividness of the world this author brings. Titania is a brilliant character – she has her plate full but she keeps on giving her all. She needs to harness her gift, work out the prophecy and find a husband. For lovers of high-end fantasy, paranormal and strong suspenseful storylines – you will not be disappointed. (Definitely start at book 1!) Highly recommend.

The story of Lorenzo and Izzy is just as intense and suspenseful as the previous ones in this series. Thus dark mafia tale of revenge will have you on the edge-of-your-seat waiting to find out what happens and you won’t be able to put your Kindle down. The characters are so good. You can feel the emotions and their personalities. The premise of the book is fantastic and the flow is smooth and flowing. I found this to be a wonderful addition to the series.

Fate, fantasy, finale What an adventure this trilogy has been. This book brings Ian’s journey to an end in a magnificent way. The characterisation, world building and epic battles were brilliantly executed and the emotions raw. This book brings answers that have been sought from the start and some heartbreak. Highly recommend the whole series from start to finish.

Ah, a parnormal, contemporary romance. I found this book to be a refreshing and entertaining read. Yes, I am a weird one. I loved the writing. I found the premise to be one of excitement and intrigue. The fog in the beginning, my favorite scenet. I loved the characters. Fantastic story with it’s magic interwoven into it. I want to read more from the author.

What an ending to an intense trilogy! On the edge-of-my-seat the whole time I was reading eit. It was great to see the whole storyline tied up and questions answered. Not to sure how I feel about there relationship but maybe it will work now that the big challenge has been dealt with. I’m glad to see the parents get a happy ending. I can’t wait to read Damon’s story next

I’m such a sucker when it comes to cover art 🤣🙈📚❣️I already fell in love before I even got started on the first page 🤣 I know I’m so easy to please 🤫😉
So Nate and Abby have been best friends since the age of 7 when Nate defended her from the school ground bully and I think everyone in Beaumont thought they’d get married and have the white picket fence, the dogs and the 2 children but life turned out a little different ….
Nate is a delicious firefighter and has no shortage of female attention but nobody really ticks all his boxes and he’s always had a spot for Abby so it just seems natural that he’d be willing to help her have a baby , so what started as “favour” turns out to be so much more 🫶🏼
Abby has her bakery /cafe that keeps her busy and had my mouth watering on more than one occasion 🤫🙈😉 I also have a new found respect for gosh and chips 🤣🤣🤣🤣( when you read it you’ll get it it , wink wink )
I had so much fun with Nate and Abby and I must just add that Abby’s mum worked on my nerves a bit but having said that I also see her mothers heart so don’t be to hard on her 🍄😉there’s more going on that meets the eye 🌸
I think these 2 have been made for each other since the day they met and watching them finally find their way to each other has been a beautiful journey I laughed , I cried , I blushed , I had cringe moments and oh help me I’m going to melt moments ….

Wow! The plot thickens.. I absolutely love these characters. Also that they are now working together instead of tearing each other apart makes me so happy. It only took three books, but it is happening! I do not want to go into more detail because I am afraid I will ruin the surprises that await.
This author knows how to put personality into characters in such a short book. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a great, quick read.

The shape shifters those who resemble werewolves when in their beastly form. And obvious the humans. <br />Terran works as a public prosecutor after the death of his father instead of taking on the family business (unless in his other form, reaping vengeance).<br />Seth is a property mogul of types, I suppose he has gathered a lot of experience in his many years of life..<br />Kaela, adopted daughter of a doctor has her own magic but knows nothing of the others in her neighbourhood; caught literally in the wrong place and time she is rescued by the beast, and has already caught the attention of one immortal.<br />Death threats, loss of evidence, finding long lost gems, life is certainly looking interesting for all 3 of the main characters. I am really super excited to read the following book. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/34425105-tracy”>View all my reviews</a>

These books have all been great from start to finish. Don’t get deterred from seeing how many chapters there are because you will be disappointed once there are no more pages to read, you won’t want to the story to end. So in this third and final installment we have losses and victories. His father wants to rule over all as the newly self-appointed Emperor. While he tries to find out the secrets of his people, the Shinree, he continues to add scars to his body every time he uses his magic. In the end he finds that in order to defeat his father he must destroy the Crown of Stones. But what will it cost? I didn’t want to see this series come to and end, but I was NOT disappointed. I was happy to have been put onto this series and I will definitely be re-reading them when I am in need of some entertaining reading. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

The third book in an epic fantasy series. Just like the first two, I didn’t want to put this book down. The world, the characters, the action, everything was very well written. Rarely does a sequel live up to the first book, but both the second and the third not only did that, but surpassed it. The only complaint I had was that it ended.

This is the final book in Ian Troy’s journey. You definitely have to read the first 2 books to know what is happening.
The story is action-packed and deals with a lot of heavy topics. The writing was well done and there were times of laughter but also ones that made my heart hurt.
I’m not sure the conclusion was what I wanted, but it left me curious what the author will be doing next in this world!

This book grabbed my attention from the very first line! Not only that, it KEPT my attention! Edge of my seat, intense action the whole way through.

L. Schneider – Review by Crystal Brehant
Magic Borne by C.L. Schneider is the third and final book of the Crown of Stones trilogy. We once again join Ian Troy: Shinree, solider, revolutionary as he tries to stop the new self-proclaimed emperor from his evil plans and steer events away from foreseen tragedy. Once again we are taken on a journey through this complex world with costly magic and complex characters but this time we get far more history! The character development found in the books is nothing short of magnificent. The story remains compelling but dark. It is a fitting ending to a journey that, in the midst of book one, I wasn’t sure would be worth the ride.

Schneider – Review by Whisper Hymer
Consigliere’s Revenge is the third thrilling book in the Sicilian Gods series by Via Mari. This instalment of the fantastic dark mafia series is a gripping romantic suspense with an enemies-to-lovers element, tension, secrets, action, forced proximity, rivalry, challenges, investigation, danger, intensity, passion, chemistry, sizzle, mafia politics, family, loyalty, agendas, emotion, twists and turns, angst, violence, revenge, threats, and high stakes. Izzy has a nose for a great story, but this time she may have stepped into the lion’s den and captured the attention of a dangerous beast with dark secrets he needs to keep buried. Lorenzo is the consigliere of the Larussio Crime Family and will do what ever it takes to protect his family. Get set, because the sparks are about to fly….What happens makes for quite an intense and riveting read. This is the third book in the series and although you could read it as a standalone if you wanted without feeling lost or confused as each book focuses on a different ‘couple, who have their own story to tell, there are recurring characters and other relevant details that I think you would want to know leading into this book/series. So, I highly recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one, as knowing what has happened previously will definitely enhance your reading experience of this third instalment, as well as the series, as a whole. As I have mentioned many times now, I have read all of Via Mari’s book and have loved every single one of them. This talented author never fails to deliver a sexy and enticing read that grabs me and keeps me glued to the pages as all the gritty, raw, and intriguing developments unfold. I always go into her books with extremely high expectations, and she has never let me down! Can’t wait for more! Happy Reading…

Magic Scars is the second book in the Crown of Stones trilogy by C.L. Schneider. This book starts two and half years after the ending of the first book. We pick up with Ian Troy once more as he is freed from the terrible prison in Darkthorne. Having been under a drug which takes memory, self, and will away – Ian struggles to find his new self in the fray. Friends are scattered, enemies are everywhere, and Ian is now at the center of a rebellion. This book was easier for me to get into than the first. A good pick for fans of dark fantasy but definitely needs to be read in order.

Schneider – Review by Whisper Hymer
This is a cute retelling of the little red riding hood story. Red is off to see her grandma and bring her some flowers. Along the way she meets the wolf and the mischief begins. The wolf helps Red but is he really helping her or does he have a nefarious plan in the works? Young readers will enjoy this quick read. It is easy to follow and understand. The story is fun and exciting. Red learns to look for the truth and figure out a mystery. A little more information and details would make this book better. It was nice to see a strong young character who is smart and inquisitive. This story moves at a fast pace and feels rushed at times. The words and pictures go together well and the pictures are just as important to this story as the narrative is. All in all this is a good way to get children excited and interested in science and nature,
Each book in this series provides enough insight and detail it could be read together as a series or as a stand alone.
A strong queen that only wants to keep her people safe must work through her own trials and tribulations. But what if she doesn’t want to be a queen is that possible ? This series take you through highs and lows and while it unwraps the future you discover more and more about her past.
Fighting off demons, and creatures of the night who disturb her nights sleep. Will she ever see quiet days to spend with her loved ones ?
I cannot wait to read the fourth book. I must know how it ends.

Magic Price by C.L. Schneider is the first book in The Crown of Stones trilogy. It follows Ian Troy, a Shinree solider known for ending a decades-long war with the Crown of Stones. His skills in magic and battle are both feared and needed. This lone wolf suddenly finds himself back in the middle of battle 10 years later with returning and new enemies. This book is filled with creative world-building and characters that have depth. If you’re a fan of slightly darker fantasy then this is a book for you.

This is such a cute, fun twist to Little Red Riding Hood. It has colorful, imaginative illustrations that flow nicely with the story. I’ve read several books by Lois Wickstrom and it always surprises me how wonderfully she weaves learning in with a fun story. She does this so beautifully that you don’t even realize you are being taught science through a story. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

Can you change a vision or is his fate already sealed? Ian Troy has lost so much and fought so hard for so many, but it seems, no matter what he does, fate has other ideas. This fight just keeps getting bigger. All of Mirra’kelan will have to unite if they have any chance of thwarting the new self-appointed emperor. (This is so hard to talk about without giving away spoilers, so I’m going to stop there and tell you to read it and explore this series for yourself.)
This is an amazing, fast-paced, action-packed read. There are so many amazing plot twists that some will definitely take you by surprise and keep you guessing. C.L. Schneider’s writing style is so descriptive and imaginative that you feel as if you’re transported into the book. And her characters, can I just say wow, especially Ian Troy, he’s so complex, detailed, and imaginative. Along with good verses evil, this book mixes in lore, history, magic, and other fantasy aspects that are woven so incredibly well together. This was the first series I’d ever read by C.L. Schneider, but I know it won’t be my last. If you love fantasy, great characters, and a whole lot of action, then you really need to check out this series. I’m honestly sad this is the third and last book in the series.

Schneider – Review by Donya Pedigo
Magic-Scars the second great installment in The Crown of Stones series. Beginning a few years after the first book ends and picking up after all Ian had been through in book one, having everything taken from him, I just couldn’t tear myself away from this book. I’m certainly looking forward to book number three.
