This was my first book of poetry from this author and it was AMAZING. I haven’t read any poetry since my freshman year of college and it’s obvious I have been missing out! The author has a very lyrical quality in several pieces of work and her use of language was mesmerizing. I happily consider myself a fan and I’m excited to read more of their work. This collection invoked a multitude of feelings and experienced emotions vividly. This really was a beautiful piece of work- check it out my friends. You’ll feel all the feelings- and it’s worth it.

Really enjoyed this historical suspense. A murder investigation gets pushed aside even though the coroner’s assistant doesn’t think the facts line up. When he takes a job across the river, another death ties the deceased with his first case, and he tries to untangle all the lies and get to the truth in both deaths. A house full of people leaves plenty of suspects, but can he sort out what happened before someone else gets hurt? This one kept me on the edge of my seat, with lots of twists and turns. I really enjoyed the historical notes at the end, which made the story feel like it could have happened in that very place.

Foster – Review by Wendy Wary
This was the cutest collection of Christmas stories I’ve read! I’ve never been a huge fan of Christmas stories but I really enjoy them in this medium. I enjoyed reading different tales by multiple authors- none which I have read before. The best part of this collection was discovering all their talent! I’ll happily read more works by them- especially if it’s like this one! I’ve worked at several jobs that have tarnished the holiday spirit but this really brought it back for me. I might even put my tree up early this year. Check this deliciously sweet collection out friends!

Talk about coming in from the back of the pack, that’s exactly what I have done with this series. I wasn’t aware that this was the fifth book in the series. I am going back to the beginning though because I really enjoyed this one.
There is a bit of humour and a few twists in this intriguing murder mystery and let’s not forget thriller. Where our tough, no nonsense and straight shooter PI Jorja Knight is set on solving the mystery but there is more going on than meets the eye and that something is murder, although it may not be that simple. Is it a dangerous hidden plot or something otherworldly like a curse?
If you like thrilling murder mysteries, then Alice’s Knight in the Museum is just one of the books in this series that should satisfy your thirst.

Return to Gallanvaig takes up two years after the first book in this trilogy A Quirk of Destiny and things have only gotten worse. It is a story set in a dystopian world which has gone mad and no longer resembles the world as we know it. It is a world in ruin. The sad thing is that it could well be a reality to come to fruition.
This dark and twisted tale has good pitted against evil. Is one necessarily better than the other? There are global conspiracies, mortal danger, deadly creatures, inevitable sickness and death, zombies and mutants with supernatural powers.
A post-apocalyptic tale like you have not seen before where science fiction meets real science.
How can those behind this terrible conspiracy and bringing destruction to the world be stopped?
Just as the first book did the ending is a bit of a cliff-hanger.
If you like post-apocalyptic sci fi thrillers, why not grab this trilogy and get stuck in.
I wonder how Catherine will bring the story to a close in the next book.

Amaleigha is full of wonderful and colourful drawings that really brighten the story. It is a book aged for kids 4 – 7 who will be delighted as they go on this adventure with Amaleigha.
Amaleigha is one clever girl and has a passion that she wants to share it with others. There is a message here and it is not just for kids. Adults could use it too.
I read this story to my grandbabies, 5 and 3 ½ and they enjoyed it so much I had to reread it to them several times. It is a great idea for birthday or Christmas presents for your kids or grandbabies.
Jan has proven it is never too late to share your passion.

Can even biggest love critic be swayed? To find out you will need to grab a copy of Kamana Wanalaya an over-the-top fun and steamy holiday romance. It is an enemies to lovers tale and is set in one of the world’s most beautiful places Hawaii.
I enjoy a good Rom Com and that is what we get when we go on this journey where the She-grinch doesn’t believe in love and the Love Guru wants a chance to prove it. This hilarious and steamy romance tale will have you needing a good stiff drink. It will also have you laughing at their antics, banter and sassiness.
This is my first time reading anything by Susan, but it will not be my last because it is such a fun read to get lost in for a few hours.
Who doesn’t love some sun, sand, surf, sexy and steamy?

I loved this book with a passion! I could not get enough! There was so much intrigue, characters with great development, and of course a plot that sucked you in completely!
I am a sucker for mysteries, but throw in an potentially cursed item…you truly have me hooked! The book took off at a great build. I enjoyed how nothing was rushed, but yet was not too slow! I loved how Jorja had to really use her skill…deaths and more deaths. How were they connected? How can she make sense of it all? As the story went on, I was wanting more. The more I read, the more entertainment and intrigue I got. Loved it! I will definitely read more by this author-definitely hooked upon first read or should I say artifact?
Great author! Great read! And exceptional writing! I could not get enough, I was hooked all the way through, I very much enjoyed this book. And for sure, I highly recommend this book and author!

Murder On Oak Street is the first book in the South Shore Mystery series and debut novel by I.M. Foster. As a debut novel, this proved to be well-woven and intriguing. It is an historical crime and investigation story set in the early 1900’s in Long Island.
We follow coroner’s physician, Daniel O’Halleran who leaves New York city for a fresh start on Long Island after being fed up with all the excessive bureaucracy and political play that came with his job, as well as being left at the alter by his fiancée on their wedding day- he’s definitely ready for a change. When an old unsolved murder case is brought to his attention, Daniel begins to investigate, and this is where things start to get interesting, especially when a new murder occurs. What happens makes for an intriguing and suspenseful read. Looking forward to continuing this series. Happy reading…

Foster – Review by Angela Hayes
Murder on Oak Street is an historical mystery set in New York, 1904. I thought IM was a new author but soon realised that I have read many of her books which are historical time travel romances under her pseudonym.
Two murders two years a part could they be by the same person? Will the killer try again? Time is of the essence to try and find the killer before they strike again. That means that Daniel must reopen a case he worked on two years prior. Can he get the authorities to listen once and for all?
There is plenty of twists and turns, mystery, danger, murder, mayhem, angst, drama and suspense. All of that will keep you engaged and immersed in the story and the pages turning.
IM does a good job of incorporating the history of the time into the story.
I will leave it to you to read the book and discover what happens in this intriguing tale.

Foster – Review by Jenni Bishop
An enjoyable and engaging historical crime novel, with plenty of drama and suspense which had me gripped throughout. Set in New York, during 1904, and Daniel O’Halleran is the coroner’s physician for the city of New York, but after two years he’s grown more frustrated than ever. When his fiancé leaves him at the altar, Daniel packs up and moves on, accepting an offer to assist a local coroner in the small Long Island village of Patchogue. Life on Long Island is much slower than the city, but before long Daniel has a case. He’s surprised to discover the case that the local librarian, Kathleen Brissedon asks him to look into is actually a two year old murder case, which was the first one he ever worked on. Having never thought the verdict was right he agrees to investigate it, however, Daniel soon has a new murder to look into, and he quickly discovers that the two cases may be connected. Daniel needs to find out what the link is before another murder takes place in the South Shore village. I loved the main character, Daniel and thought he was a likeable and relatable character. The descriptive narrative brought the settings to life making me feel immersed in the storyline. The plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story, and I found this was a real page turner. I look forward to the next book in this new series.

I have to say that I am a fan of a really good murder mystery and this one did not disappoint. It is the first in a new series and I am definitely ready and waiting for the next book to come out! To me, one of the most important pieces of a murder mystery is that the author is able to keep you on your toes with all the twists and turns and keep you guessing until the end. This story definitely does not disappoint with that. I recommend reading this for a fast paced, keep you guessing old fashioned mystery!

This story was so much fun! It was just the kind of holiday read I was looking for. Teegan and Tenley were such amazing characters Their personalities lead to such amazingly fun banter between them. It also lead to such spicy scenes! I have to say that this is the first Susan Renee book that I have read, but it definitely won’t be my last. She was amazing at writing steamy scenes but also allowing for character development throughout the book. Both Teegan and Tenley developed both as individuals and as a couple. I will definitely be looking for more of her books to read over the upcoming holiday week!

This book really took off very quickly. It was just as good, maybe even better than the first book in the series! I was amazed with the story, characters, and the writing all the way through!
The story was realistic beyond means. I reflected so much as I read. It was a powerful read none the less to say the least! I enjoyed the book that took place after a time line of the first. I did not expect the epicness to be as extreme as it was! Death is all around the world, can the world be saved? The book was paranormal , yes, but how vivid it was made me fear what our world could become! Freaking amazing read!
If you have not read the first book, please do it right this minute. Do not walk-RUN!!! The author is amazing, and this story is not to be missed, the first book helps all make sense. Highly recommend this must read!

This is a great YA story that was a surprisingly quick and easy read. I loved the idea of this book from the moment I read the description and couldn’t wait to get started. I think overall it is a great book although I do wish at times it had a little more detail. However, I definitely became invested in the book and wanted to see how it would turn out. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I think she has the potential to be one I read more often. This book has all the signs of a great series and I am looking forward to book two, to see if I am right.

This is another great addition to this series, one with a very modern day Shakespeare feel to it. This was a fun and entertaining story to read with some highly amusing characters. This is one of those books that is quick and easy to read because you get right into the story and can’t put the book down. This is an author that really knows how to connect to her audience. All of her books and series are different and yet she nails it every time. I love how light-hearted she has kept this series and I think they have been wonderfully written. Any rom-com fan should check them out.

I loved reading this paranormal story. This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up. I enjoy her writing skills and her attention to details that make her stories pop. This book is no different. This is a well written story where the characters bring the story to life. I found them to be connectable and had me coming back for more. I enjoyed how they pulled me into the story from the start. This is a fast paced story that I read in one sitting as it is that awesome. This is an entertaining and easy to read story that you don’t want to miss, a must read. A story where life mates and rejection are real things. I really enjoyed this story. I highly recommend this story and this author.

This is a great fantasy read for older children. The author does an amazing job of making fantasy feel like it could be reality. This is a heartwarming story of a young girl and her adventures as she navigates her life however things aren’t that straight forward.
Gwendolyn is a dreamshifter. That means at night she shifts into whatever she dreams about. Normally this isn’t a problem she always wakes up the next morning back in her human form. However, this one night she gets startled awake by the fire alarm in her home and gets stuck as an elk. Now she has to figure out a way to get herself back into a human all the while making sure she keeps safe and away from hunters. Can she stay safe in the form she is stuck in? Will she be able to change back or will she be trapped as an elk forever?
Where oh where do I start! After laughing out loud from the very first sentence I just knew I was going to be hooked on this book and I was so right! This AMAZING Author brings together two total opposites, Tenley, a podcaster who preaches practical relationships and spurns the idea of love, and Teagan, the love guru who truly believes in love and all it can add to a persons life in such a fun and completely captivating way that I didn’t want to put his book down even for a second! With it’s wonderful storyline, fantastic cast of characters and fun steamy moments it is simply one you don’t want to miss. This is the first book I have read by this author but I am telling you now it definitely won’t be the last but simply the first of many! Her books are now being added to my Christmas wish list, I just hope my family are paying attention! LOL

Murder on Oak Street was a very great read even though it was a slow start. The pace of the story did pick up after a bit. The plot and the characters in the story were very good at intermingling. All of the plot twists kept you on your toes and kept you wondering what was going to happen next. I like how the story is based on how the characters behaved in the early 1900’s.

Foster – Review by Kristin Boutelle,
This book grabbed me from the very beginning. I have been a WWII buff for a while now and always enjoy a different turn on every story from that time. This is completely unique! I really love the magic and mysticism that encircles the little statues, and their unique capabilities. I could feel a sense of the danger surrounding the characters, and really enjoyed the descriptions of how music is more than just notes on a piano, but have a life of their own and can make a person feel ways they don’t naturally feel – the passion and freedom that can come from it. I could not guess where the story was going to go and was hooked the entire time. Truly a great read – and I will probably read it again and again!

This was a really sweet and adorable story. Enzo and Candi were just wonderful characters to read about , they are the type that you take into your heart as soon as you start reading about them. I adored Enzo, he was just the sweetest character ever and I was rooting for him and Candi the whole way through. I did feel for Enzo at times and how his past had an effect on how he viewed any potential future relationships. Candi was a really relatable character, again things in her past have made her the way she is today. This story was beautifully written and I would absolutely recommend it.

Another really cute children’s book from this wonderful author. I loved how each of her books tackles something different for children and creates talking points for children to discuss different issues. In this books the dwarves have a dilemma and have to think about how to deal with things fairly. This is great for children especially as they often don’t understand this kind of problem. Again the story was well written and beautifully illustrated.
I have never heard of a dream shifter before. I really loved the idea of it and how the author put it into a book that not only I loved, but I think my ten year old will as well. Gwendolyn is a 12-year dream-shifter. She shifts into the animals that she dreams about. Fun right?! Well each night she prepares for the dreams and normally enjoys them. There is one catch to being a dream shifter though. If you wake up normally on your own you shift back to human. BUT if you get woken up suddenly (like from a fire alarm) you stay shifted! Crazy right?! Lets just say that her parents were shocked the first time it happened. Unfortunately, she learns that if you don’t shift back within a few months you get stuck in the form that you last shifted to!! So, she’s leaping around as an Elk and having fun, when she’s bolted awake from the fire alarm. They forgot to turn off the space heater that they used to make smores indoors. Not only is Gwendolyn stuck as an elk now, but their home burned down. To top off her already horrible night, she learns that it’s almost elk season! Which means she has to find a place to hide! Where do you hide an elk?? She’s stuck as an elk with no knowledge on how to turn back and now she must keep away from hunters! Thankfully she can speak English and she still thinks mostly like a girl. But how do you explain this to people? And who would believe her?! Getting the help from a magician that she’s a little scared of is her last resort, but she must. He gives her access to his magical library which she finds out that her grandmother’s written books are part of! Maybe she can find some answers finally!! He does end up having a book that might help, but for some reason she can’t get near it. Oh odd!! Will Gwendolyn spend the rest of her life as an Elk? Will she get hunted and killed during the season?! Hiding out at the magician’s house, putting on magic shows for kids to pay for room and board is just the start to this fun and interesting book!! I got sucked in and I hope my daughter will as well. I’m excided to share it with her. If you have never heard of a dream-shifter (like me) you are in for a treat!!
What a great read! I really enjoyed every minute of this book. I’ve read stories by this author previously so I knew I would be in for a good ready but I definitely think that this is my favourite by her so far! I loved the original feel that the story had, it was completely different to anything I had read before. I loved the setting for the story also, so beautifully described by the author. I liked both Tenley and Teagan they were great characters to read about and had a great amount of chemistry between them. The way in which the author chose to write the story too was great, I found it really engaging from beginning to end. A great 5 star read and one that I would highly recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed this historical fantasy novel, it was a Irish family saga which had me hooked from start to finish. Although part of a series, I happily read it as a standalone story, however, having enjoyed it so much I am now keen to read the rest of the series. Set in Ireland in 1114, ageing warrior Maelan serves his chief with his bloodied blade, but he also has the unique ability of magical camouflage. His main aim is to provide a legacy for Orlagh, his seventeen year old granddaughter, so he’s horrified when she runs off with a disreputable bard. In order to go after Orlagh, Maelan will have to abandon his chief and risk dishonour. Having to risk disgrace and betrayal to bring his granddaughter home is a real dilemma for the loyal guardsman. The descriptive narrative really brought the characters and the setting vividly to life, and the added historical details made the time period realistic. The mix of historical elements and fantasy made this a real page turner.

What a cute children’s story. I loved everything about this book. The illustrations were amazing and went along with the story so well. I loved that the main character loves the backyard and getting out in it. This is an exceptional story to get kids out of the house and into the outdoors. There are some great lessons learned including where to go online for assistance getting a park in your area as well as tips on how to build one. I highly recommend this story for all children, all classrooms, and all libraries.
