The story follows Niamh el Ri’ili, Princess of the Emerald City Under The Mound, and Connor O’Brien, a vampire full of hatred and rage until he meets her. They meet through family friends, get to know each other through their shared love of music, and fall in love through the trials and tribulations they face back in the Emerald City. My favourite character is Niamh el Ri’ili because she is strong, independent, powerful, knows what she wants, and my least favourite character was, while perfectly written, Queen Desdemona because she is greedy, selfish, condescending, overruling. I recommend this book because it’s a type of love story I haven’t read before, it celebrates Irish culture, and it explores Irish folklore which was interesting to learn about. I would love to read more from Hadley Thorne. ‘It was clear to him from the moment he first saw her that she was his.’

5 stars Imagine being a fourteen year old girl living in despair whilst her home town of Sarajevo is ravaged by war. Of having to witness family, friends and neighbours dying in front of you. Of having to live with the reality of bullets and bombs etc and of wondering if you will be next. Imagine trying to survive without the basic necessities of food, running water, electricity and no heat. Ten Thousand Shells and Counting is a historical memoir of just that. A retelling of a that young girl and how a cold and heartless war shaped her life. This heart wrenching tale will leave you an emotional wreck. Nadija Mujagics incredible yet heartbreaking true story takes us into the horrifying and shocking journey of being a young woman and her quest for survival during the Bosnian War. Imagine the hopelessness for a life you had no control over, and the effect of a senseless war left on people. Nadija decided to tell the world her story in the hope that no one should have to go through what she did. That no one should have to live through the atrocities that she did, and that history would not repeat itself again. The crimes against others and especially the violence against women that go unpunished. She gives us an eye-opening insight into the aftermath of what a war does to people. The deep scars that will always bleed and the ghosts that live within one’s soul despite the healing. The blood sweat and tears Nadija put into this story is palpable and (hopefully) it was a cathartic release of pain and torment. If she were here in front of me telling her story, I would have to scoop her up and hug her. It takes a strong woman to reveal your inner demons and share your story with the world and I applaud Nadija for doing so. Make sure you have tissues on hand because you are going to need them and a few good stiff drinks just to get through this memoir. It is a hard read knowing what these people went through and to see firsthand what the leaders in a war don’t care about in all their greed.

4 stars Operation Escape is the second book in the Space Force Rejects series. It is a unique and original sci-fi tale with fated mate’s trope. Make sure to read the first book in the series and the characters are intertwined. This adventure story has a bit of everything that lovers of sci fi will enjoy. With experiments, altered DNA, tested loyalties, forced bonds, new alliances, lies and secrets you will not know who to trust and much more. The characters are an interesting mob with a pansexual hero, a heroine who is a little naïve and out of her depth, and a ragtag crew of humanoid aliens and science experiments. It is easy to imagine this journey with these lovable quirky characters that Landra gave life to. What should have been a simple mission leaves Sera and Markus fighting for their lives on an unknown and hostile planet. This new world is full of action, danger, adventure with a little push and pull romance and is a story that should not be missed. If you enjoy this sci fi or even if you don’t, give it a go.

3.5 stars Forbidden fruit and all that in this dark student teacher romantic suspense story. The story is original and intriguing as Liza takes us a look into the world of Cirque du Lys and some bondage and the beautiful art of rope binding like Shibari. The story is told in dual POV which gives you a better understanding of the characters and where they are coming from. Ties That Bind is full of heat and suspense. This sexy age gap new adult romance is full of emotions, with lots of angst and plenty of chemistry! The age gap is significant and the communication between them was the cause of many problems due to dark secrets. She is plagued by a childhood tragedy and has always longed for something that for so long has been out of her reach. Now it is all in front of her and what she doesn’t know is their lives have been intertwined and there is a past that may just ruin them. He knows it’s wrong, but he is drawn in like a moth to a flame. But with a past that is full of secrets that should never be exposed between them it is unlikely that love conquers all. We are left with questions and a cliff hanger which I hope we get answers to in the next book.

4 stars Amy’s Rebellion is an intriguing New Adult dark fantasy story. It is the first book in the Gemstone Massacre Series and an enemies to lover’s romance. It is also the first book I have read by this author. I was not aware there is a prequel, War of the Twin Swords until after I finished Amy’s Rebellion. I would say reading the prequel is a must as it tells the story of Opal the clans and the war. There is much to be learned. There is so much to keep the reader engaged with drama, action, and suspense, magic, magical lands, friendship, enchantress’s, assassins, gemstones, familiars, seers, evil intensions, a corrupt Magic Council, shifters. Julia has given us mythologies based around Merlin and King Arthur with a new twist on Excalibur. It is a retelling of sorts that is unique with a plot is very well thought out. There are unexpected twists and vivid details. Julia has included a cast of different cultures and LGBTQ+ characters with strong FMC’s. Sometimes keeping track of them all got a bit difficult. All in all, this was an enjoyable read, and I will see where the next book in the series takes us.

4.5 stars In this urban fantasy Yeti Left Home Aaron has given the reader a paranormal thriller that is original and humorous. This light-hearted quirky tale will have you laughing at times. Aaron is a new author to me so obviously this is the first of his work I have read. How have I not come across him before? I really enjoyed it. It’s my kind of oddity, quirky and all that. Yes, the Yeti Left Home is right up my alley. Aaron is a man after my own heart. It reminds me of lots of my favourite supernatural goodness TV series all rolled into one. There are too many to name them all but Sanctuary, Grimm, Haven, Warehouse 13 and I’ll even throw in Eureka to name a few with their oddness, strangeness and let’s not forget the quirkiness and bizarreness. Wylie Kang isn’t your typical mystical beast. This Yeti loves nothing more than to chill at his cabin by a lake. When a hunter shows up in his neck of the woods Wylie runs and discovers a whole new world for himself and friendships. When Wylie comes across the hunter again in the Big City what will he do? I hope to see more from Aaron. I will go check out other stories by him.

I must just start off by saying this is my favourite by far ! I’ve read a few of Brooke’s books but Brinley and Adrian are my favourite ❣️📚
Brinley lived in Morris Valley for a while and she had a tight friend group , they were more like sisters than friends but her family moved away and the youngsters promise to always be in contact and bless their hearts they do so it’s only natural for Brinley to head home , to her safety net when things with her stalker get a bit much …..
My first introduction to Adrian had me in stitches and reminds me of my own farmer husband who is allergic to coming into town and having to pay for coffee when the perfect cup can be brewed at home 🤣 doesn’t say much and isn’t a fan of change so I just fell in love with Adrian at first “ read” ❣️😉
Adrian is loved in his little town but he’s also known to be the grump and most want to set him up with a woman especially the older ladies , like Polly 🤣 but his friends also try with disastrous results like Delilah but again dearest Polly was his saving grace 🌸🤣🙈
Adrian is a hard worker and loves his family ranch with a passion , his dad and him live a rather quiet life until Brinley comes along and brightens it with her sunshine ❣️
Brinley is home to breathe and hide from her stalker but she’s also considering putting her Olympic Gold Medal for shooting to good use , if settling down in a small town, she can give proper gun training to folks or have an upgraded range , she has options but watching her find love was a gift❣️
Adrian let’s Brinley come and “ hide out “ on the farm and instead of a wallflower he gets someone that loves to work the land like he does and watching things unfold between was a real treat and if ever there was a perfect match it would be these 2 ❣️
Clover, Lexy , Lilly, Julia , Mina , Eliza are the best friends a girl could ask for and their bonds are unfailing , these friends made want to climb into my book and join in in their antics , fun , laughter , tears and life ❣️
Nash, Gage , Gentry and Beckett are good guys and real characters that keep and eye on Adrian so they’re all stoked when their friend friend finds his HEA

This book was really good. This supernatural world was extremely well written and immersed you immediately. First introducing you to Connor and then to Niamh is captivating. Conner story is heartbreaking at first and then you begin to see the world through his eyes. Niamh is in a way trapped in a gilded cage, only to be let out when she is needed to perform. They meet and sparks immediately fly. When an entity comes and takes Niamh away and takes everything of hers leaving nothing but an empty slate, Conner is devastated and will do anything to get her back. The introduction of other characters was well done and I want to know more about their story! I can’t wait to see if this author will expand on the world she has created! I look forward to reading more books by this author!

My nerves are shattered as Calliope is escaping her prison , my heart aches for her but at the same time it soars because she is so brave and determined ! The man she was involved with was a monster but he is also a man that comes from a very powerful family , this isn’t going to be an easy battle for her ……
So we catch up with Rae who is being rushed to hospital to have her baby and her bestie Brandon is on hand to get her to the hospital , her husband Dean is on his way to meet them and again I feel my heart beating faster because the precious bundle is coming to early but she’s in good hands ….
Brandon is not only a talented musician it a gifted artist and he’s already had his first exhibition which was rather successful and after a crazy work tour he takes a breather and starts touring and it’s in Morocco where he meets up with his “ muse” his forever love , his best friend and band members sister Calliope aka Callie and as youngsters they were tight and feelings were there but never talked about it acted on , their paths parted but what a beautiful reunion in Morocco and then Paris , hand on my heart ❣️
Brandon and Callie are just poetry in motion and there were moments we here my heart stopped with fear thanks to man that won’t be mentioned ( he deserves no airtime) but it also soared because of Popo with her delicious meals and warm heart , you just want to sit around her table , hug her , eat her food and talk your heart out with her . Then there’s Callies tribe , her Amazonian warriors ❣️Genevieve, Anais and Madeleine that protects her so fiercely but love just as hard and let’s not forget the precious little Eleanor aka Ella ❣️all these people just climbed into my heart and made me part of their family !

5/5 This was such a fun read! As an adult, I thoroughly enjoyed this read. It kept my attention and I felt like I was easily immersed in this world. The written was done excellently and I didn’t feel like it was too immature for someone older to read, as I have with other YA reads. This is something someone who’s 10 can enjoy as well as someone who is 30. I highly recommend this book and this author.

5 Stars Breach of Trust (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book by Cynthia Hamilton
Breach of Trust is the eighth book in The Madeline Dawkins Series and is a wonderfully written Mystery/Crime that once you start reading it’s extremely hard to put down. Im a huge fan of not only this author but this series is mu favorite and I am definitely putting on my list of favorites to reread. If you haven’t already started this series I recommend reading this series in order although they can be read as standalones. I’m a sucker for reading series in order you get to really know the characters and what’s been going on. Madeline and Mike are back and three new cases to investigate. This will definitely keep them busy. There are a few twists and turns I didn’t see coming and found myself on thr edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next you won’t be disappointed that’s for sure. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This is the first book I have listened to by Helen Steadman. Although I usually don’t read/listen to Greek Mythology this story really captured my attention. It was an entertaining story and I will definitely be looking for more stories from this author.
The narration was also, a new to me narrator, Christopher Swift. I truly loved the way he brought the characters to life. This was a great way to start a new genre.

Surviving a robbery/attack at work, Kaela finds herself in a safehouse of sorts. The man who saved her is not only the district attorney prosecuting the case but also a werewolf. The man who is harboring her is an undying, something akin to a vampire who feels a pull to Kaela. Being pulled in different directions, Kaela just wants to get out of this alive. Each of the other two men also have their own motives in helping her. Opinion This book is not a quick read. It is one you will want to sit and think about while reading it. Going from chapter to chapter, I found my brain trying to piece together what was happening and what would happen. It truly was a fascinating book that I enjoyed immensely. The book did leave in a bit of a cliffhanger without a resolution to one of the issues that played a minor role in the plot but could potentially be a major problem. I can see this particular issue playing a minor roll in several more books until it comes to a culminating point. This book is worth a reread, especially right before the next book in the series is released.

Return to hoodoo by Reggi Dupree is an amazing read. I 1,000% recommend this novel. I fell in love with the characters fast, especially Gwendolyn Carter the main character. The author brings not only the town of Hoodoo, Texas alive, but also the characters. You follow Gwen back to her hometown filled with shifters, vampires, and witches. Gwen’s only reason for coming back is for legal reasons, which isn’t a huge draw to her considering the reason she left was because she was almost charged with murder. she finds herself caught up in a whole new scandal with a new love interest and her Ex-boyfriend a shifter who happens to a cop. Be prepared for a novel that is humorous and shocking. Gwen’s internal monologs and sassy humorous comeback, plus the twisting and turning of events has me begging for more. I plan reading the prequel, Hoodoo heaven to learn when really happen before her return to Hoodoo.

This is an interesting and unique story that caught my attention from the moment I read the blurb. I wanted to know what story was going to be about and who the characters would be. I enjoyed watching how v things played out and really getting to know these characters. As the first book in the series I think its sets a good premise of course what is to come. This is a new author to me and if this book is any indication of her work then I am looking forward to discovering more.

The Challenger is the second book in The Hustler Series by Rowan Rossler, and it’s a good addition to the series!
This book is Flynn’s to tell. Flynn is best friends with Vandana, the main character in book 1. Flynn meets Chavez, in of all places, their psychiatrist’s office. Their attraction crackles with chemistry, and Chavez, who proclaims that he doesn’t chase women, does finally wear Flynn down and convince her to go out with him. It doesn’t take too long for these two to fall for one another, even though he has a hard job ahead of him destroying the walls she has so carefully erected around her heart.
Rossler has created two complex characters who have been hurt badly in the past. Both have had much success in their lives despite the secrets they have. Flynn is a “motivational guru” but now she has a stalker threatening her. Chavez has been a champion tennis player. He has been nicknamed, “Talented Tornado” for his playing skills, but the past few months that name has been used to describe his demeanor off of the court. He left the sport while he was at the top, and no one knows why. So, like Flynn, he has secrets too. This was a book about how love can shed light on secrets and bring healing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this couple mature and grow throughout the book.
The Challenger is a great description of what takes place within the pages of this book. This couple really does challenge each other. It is an age gap and age reverse novel. Honestly, I was just too invested in them as individuals and as a couple to even take much notice of it. Age gap novels don’t bother me anyway. If a book is good, like this one, I don’t care about issues such as an age gap.
The book is not only character-driven but also plot driven. If you like a good sports romance with some mystery intertwined, this one should be a sure winner for you!

Other People’s Money was the first book I have read by this author. It is the 7th book in the Madeline Dawkins series, however can be enjoyed as a stand alone. There is references to the past, but with enough detail that I didn’t feel like I was missing important details. It was a pretty good mystery, that did not reveal all until the very end. The characters are well developed and the story was a steady pace. Madeline and Mike are married and private investigators. They are debating expansion, after a busy period, when they are landed with 3 cases at once. They have 2 missing women, and a possible gold digger after a friend’s widowed father. I liked how the cases wound together, but I didn’t like the ending. It was not what I expected, and I felt it wrapped up suddenly. Over all, it was a decent book that kept me engaged, and I would read more in the series.

I really love this author and his saucy reads so when I saw this trilogy I couldn’t wait to get started. As usual his writing didn’t disappoint. The three stories contained within this trilogy all had different tropes but were short and sexy reads.
The Baby Sitter – this story may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I did enjoy it and whilst I 100% don’t agree with cheating it is at the end of the day a story. There was a lot of passion and chemistry between the characters and although a short read – it certainly wasn’t short on anything else! This story does led into the next one so don’t worry if you feel it finished a little abruptly!
The Boss’ Daughter – in this story we meet again and see him continue with his forbidden love interests. This time his Boss’ Daughter who we briefly meet in the first book. After Richard receives a visit from Rebecca we see Scarlett let him in on a secret of her own!
Menage A Trois – The third book in the trilogy sees Richard’s secrets exposed – but Alice has a secret of her own for him! This third book definitely had a lot of passion and chemistry going on. The story is well written from the passion side and it is completely believable.
Overall the three stories are good, they are definitely packed with some pretty steamy scenes and they should be read in order!
Incredible story! Emma is a wonderful model to other women and girls. She is strong, independent, fierce but she is also caring, sympathetic, and compassionate. She doesn’t need a man to help her but recognizes when it’s welcomed. I could go on and on about Emma, she’s awesome. This story broke my heart in regards to the children, and seeing Emma and her team solve the entire case was so genius. There are three different cases in this book and the author does such a wonderful job of moving from one onto the next. The three cases are all so cleverly thought out and solved, the second case with the three women and the one man they all hate was my favorite to watch unfold. I have a strong feeling we are not done with see John Harden either. Wonderful book, I could go on and on with praise.
In this quick prequel, we meet Riley, who appears to be a con artist alongside her mom. We aren’t given much about their background but perhaps the series will enlighten us more. Riley meets Cole at a party where they share a quick yet heated kiss. Although this is a fast read, the author was able to lay out the groundwork for what to expect with the series and give us some info about our main characters. Looking forward to seeing what occurs in the first book of this series.

Little Red’s Grandma asks her to bring some cone flowers to her house to make tea with. On the way she encounters a wolf with a devious plan which she is not aware of until she finds her Grandma looks mysteriously like the wolf.
Different take on Little Red Riding Hood. I liked the idea of how she identifies plants. Entertaining story, I think kids would enjoy.

This is the 4th book in The Thunder On The Moors series. I really recommend reading these books in order as the story continues through them and you would miss out on a lot of the characters backstories and history which may make it a bit of a confusing read.
This is a historical time travelling romance. I love the author’s attention to details in the time period and the descriptions and writing reflect that period which makes you feel like you are experiencing it first hand. Being a historical story there is a lot of adventure and danger as the rival clans are constantly at war with one another. Will and Maggie have finally escaped back to the twentieth century. After everything they have been through they feel they could finally be together and be safe. However that isn’t the case. When Dylan finds a problem in the fabric of time he finds a way to contact Will and Maggie to tell them they need to return as them not doing so would change both time periods and it wouldn’t be for the better.
There are several problems though. 1stly the amulet they use to travel is out of stone so it doesn’t work anymore, 2nd they don’t know what exactly they need to do to fix the fabric of time and save both time periods and finally what will happen if they return. The whole reason they left was because it wasn’t safe for them so will returning prove to be a huge mistake?
The author’s writing is amazing and as a reader you feel transported in time, following the characters as they try to find the balance between doing what’s right and finally having their happy ever after.
The author’s attention to details really makes you feel like you are back in 16th Century in the Scottish borders. I loved this even more as that’s where I currently live so it was nice to imagine going back to that time period.
Overall the story is fast paced and engaging. You won’t be able to put it down until you find out if Maggie and Will can fix the tear in the fabric of time.

This story could have been written about my life. I felt all the emotions that Juie felt. I’m actually still feeling the emotions. Being a wife and mother is hard enough without having to deal with death and so many other emotions. If you love heartfelt stories, then this is the book for you.

C.A. King has done it again! Another great written book. The details and world building is on point. This book was a medical romance type of read. This book had me sitting on the edge of my couch wanting me to know what happened next. It will definitely grab your attention from the very beginning. This book was also a page turner for me.

King – Review by Melissa Fink
This book is amazing. First thing first, you do need to read the first book in this series to understand fully what is going on. I skipped it, however, I will be going back to read it. I mean you can read this book without reading the first but it makes it harder to understand the dynamic between Jase and Cyrus. This book picks up where the other left off and it goes into detail about things but I feel I would have had a fuller understanding of what was happening had I read the first book before this one. That being said, this book is still amazing and I felt myself getting swept away with the story. It brings elements into the concept of Romeo and Juliet. There isn’t much of a resemblance to the actual Romeo and Juliet story because this one is between two males, had supernatural aspects, and really the only thing it has in common with Romeo and Juliet is the forbidden love between the two main characters. That said, it was an amazing spin on a timeless classic piece of literature. The slow burn between the charters that builds throughout the book. You can tell instantly how much they each care for each other and you can also feel, how everyone disagrees with some of their choices. It has angst, suspense, drama, love, and some good steam. You will not be disappointed reading this book if you like celestial, paranormal romance. I just suggest reading the first book in the series before this one so you are all caught up and not struggling to figure out things along the way. However, if you. just want to devour a great book and don’t mind not knowing everything but eventually being able to piece things together, go for it!!! This book will leave you wanting more, so I am excited to go back and read the first one in the series. Reviewed by: @bbohls
