Dreamscape (J.J. Morris Mysteries) by J.N. Sheats – Review by Helen Dawkins

Dreamscape (J.J. Morris)Dreamscape by J.N. Sheats
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by J.N. Sheats and I fell in love. This book is a wonderful YA paranormal suspense with the supernatural, mystery, tension/angst, complex characters, ghosts, occult, slight horror, and wonderful world building. Even though it is YA, I think that older adults would definitely love this as well.

I did not read the first book in the series, but I do not feel like it made this book any less than because of that. With that said, I will be going back to read the first book. I can see a few areas in the book where knowledge from the first book would have been beneficial. I would recommend reading the first book and then this one, but it is not 100% necessary to understand and love this book.

The main character Joey is struggling to keep up with her normal day to day life, but she is also experiencing several supernatural events happening around her. She is desperately trying to find her new “normal” in college, but after everything that has happened, she is not sure if that is possible anymore. What is stalking her in her dreams? What is a dream and what is real? Will her life ever go back to normal?

If you enjoy books with supernatural, paranormal, with some mystery then you will most definitely enjoy this book! I cannot wait to read what comes next!

Dangerous Rhythm (The Echo Series Book 4) by C.R. Alam – Review by Barbara Bohls

Dangerous Rhythm (The Echo Series, #4)Dangerous Rhythm by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the series and it can be read as a stand alone but I would recommend reading the others first. It is so you can appreciate the authors writing and the way the characters evolve. However, that said, you won’t be disappointed if you don’t read the others in the series because this book is really well written. This book has it all from the chemistry between the characters to laugh out loud moments. The words that are put onto the pages make this story come alive. The relatable moments really connect you to the characters and keep you rooted in the book. It was a fast read for me because I wanted to see what was going to happen next with these characters. The danger that is presented and the thrill that goes along with the danger, makes this book more than just a romance book. It gives you humor, suspense, love, laughter, mystery, intrigue, and of course off the charts chemistry.

An interesting Sci-Fi deep space novel. Trigger Warning, there are parts in the novel that can be very triggering! A very well written second book from this author. It was suspenseful, edgy, fast-paced but well rounded, dare I say, it was a satisfying read. I will honestly say that I did not expect much going into this book but I am glad that I gave it a chance and stuck through the hard parts. I highly recommend this book!

I love how this book goes from one end of the script and then flips it on Andrea. From skeptic of afterlife to being a ghost in the afterlife.

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 2)Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadowed Agenda is Book Two in the Shadow Defense Security Series. It is an action packed, romantic suspense, enemies to lovers’ story filled with tension, danger, drama, and action. The story centers around the characters of Regan and Pavlo and is told from each of their POV. Regan and Pavlo are both on tour with their latest novels. Regan is not thrilled about this because she thinks that Pavlo is annoying. Pavlo is equally unhappy touring with Regan because he finds her too independent. They do their best to avoid each other and stay out of one another’s way. Or they did, until the life of Regan and her daughter were placed in danger after she turned down a private book signing with a woman who is in line to be the next first lady. Suddenly danger lurks around every corner and the one person she can trust to keep them safe is Pavlo and Shadow Defense Security. As Regan and Pavlo get to know one another better the chemistry between them intensifies. This book was well written with an intriguing storyline, great plot, amazing characters, and vivid scene descriptions. I loved the character of Regan who was fierce, strong, independent, and stubborn. All traits that initially annoyed Pavlo but were what made him fall in love with her. This book had mystery, deceit, betrayal, chemistry, passion, romance, and twists and turns that will keep you riveted until the end.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is as amazing as Whispered Surrender was. Both women are strong in their own ways and try to protect those they love. The men assigned to protect them have their hands full. I enjoyed these stories because they are full of action, romance (steamy at times), have mafia involvement, and are able to keep me engaged the whole way through. You just can’t put the book down. I found the characters quite intriguing. They fit so well into the story. I love this security firm. Such strong men on the outside, yet teddy bears on the inside. They would do anything for the woman they love. These are fantastic stories if you like dark romance, mafia, strong women. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the series and you don’t have to read the other books before this one to understand what is going on. This is the first one that I have read in this series and it was such a cute quick read for me that I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I really like the idea of Cupid’s helpers and the whole romanticized idea that Cupid brings. This story has amazing characters that are quick witted, have a bit of a temper, and have growth for what is needed in this book. This book is realistic in the way that bot everything happens properly the first time and it might take a couple tries to get it right. I didn’t how much I would like that when it isn’t instant. This book was a really quick read for me as I couldn’t put it down because I needed to know what happened next. I highly suggest thus book if you are looking to just sink into a book and escape for a few hours. You won’t be disappointed in this choice.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Detective Dylan and the Case of the Missing Mail is a cute story about an eight-year-old boy named Dylan who is super excited about becoming a detective over the summer and solving mysteries. After receiving a parcel in the mail that contains his new Super Sleuth Spy Kit, he sets off with his little sister Emily, that he lovingly refers to as Tattle Tale, and their beloved pet dog, to solve the case of the neighbor’s missing mail. They set off knocking on their neighbor’s doors, asking questions, and gathering evidence such as fingerprints. This was an engaging and fun chapter book that teaches children about teamwork, problem solving, and family. The book contains black and white illustrations throughout that help to bring the story to life and keep the attention of young readers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series and I did not read the first book before this one. I don’t feel like that made this book any less without reading the first one. However, I can see spots in the book where reading the first one would be beneficial. I would recommend reading book one, first, and then this book but it is not necessary to understand what is happening in the book. I will be reading the first one because I really want some of the background that you are given and really strengthen the connection that you get to the characters. This book is considered a YA paranormal read but I feel like it is more than that. I really, really enjoyed it. It has mystery to keep you on the edge of your seat. It has romance and it has such tangible imagery. It is like the words just fly off the pages and create a picture before you eyes. I found myself being completely lost in the words that I was writing It is a true testament as to how well the book was written. If you are looking for a book that keeps your attention, is a quick read because you can’t put it down, and is amazing at building characters and scenery; this book is for you. P.S. I would highly suggest starting at the beginning of the series.

A King So Savage (The Savage Duet #1)A King So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an amazing dark read romance. I am such a huge fan of this genre that I couldn’t wait to get started on this book. I was not disappointed. The way the book is written, you can’t help but fall in love with the characters and yes that even includes the villain. This book has everything from the bad boy anti-hero to the horrible past but very resilient and strong girl. The crazy brother thrown in makes for an entertaining story. There is one flaw in the book but it didn’t dismiss from the story or how quickly I read it. The flaw is that sometimes the leading female doesn’t know when to stop “poking the hornets nest,” so to say. She seems to be a little naive to the situation that she is in and can’t quite control what comes out of her mouth. It was a little off putting at first but the further I read the more endearing it became. This was a fast paced read for me because it has everything that I love. The suspense, romance, drama, violence, morally grey lines being tested, and wonderful character development. I was able to escape my everyday surrounding for a few hours while I got lost in this book. I can’t wait to read the second part of this duet. I have a feeling I am going to love that one more than this one because it is a confutation of what I just started.

Murky Murder: An Utterly Addictive Cozy Murder Mystery (A Maid Ivy Cozy Mystery Book)Murky Murder: An Utterly Addictive Cozy Murder Mystery by Hazel Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by Hazel Smith, and it was an absolute delight! Murky Muder is the 4th book in the series, but it can be read as a stand-alone book. Even though it can be a stand-alone, I will be going back and reading the previous books, as I have fallen head of heels for these quirky characters. It is a lighthearted cozy mystery book for all ages. The entire book is a whodunit feeling, and it doesn’t make it easier to guess, considering every person is hiding a secret.

Ivy has just been promoted to head maid at the Hotel LaFontaine and has just gone her first date with her boss, the owner of the Hotel, Max (Sir Maximillian Humphrey). Their date went wonderful, all except a crazed hooded person running towards their table with a knife. What Ivy thought was just a one off turns into a series of mysterious events. Starting off with a creepy cryptic letter the hotel receives, which is followed by a guest, being murdered. Just as you begin to think you know what is going on, the author throws in another great suspect. I did guess the bad guy correctly, but I will say, I made myself second guess a good bit – which I loved!

Such a great quick light book to read! I definitely recommend to anyone who loves a bit of mystery and wants something light or quick to read!

A tension filled story with quirky, lovable characters that leaves you wondering whodunnit. This book takes a few twists and turns before the culprit is revealed.

This is a fantastic story. I realize that the author is new to this genre. I think she has done a great job with this dark mafia story. Ava finds herself stuck with King because her brother is a jerk and left her with his debts. I enjoyed the chemistry and verbal foreplay as they grew into this relationship. It did have its dark moments but those sparks flew. I found the story had just the right amount of suspense. The romance, steamy and not, was off the charts. I was in it from the beginning all the way to the end. This is a book that I definitely recommend if you are a mafia romance lover.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luna The Howling Husky Finds Her Howl is a children’s book designed for kids between the ages of six to ten years of age. The book tells the story of a young Husky puppy that does not seem to fit in with the rest of her siblings. She looks different because her eyes are brown and not blue like all her siblings. Luna also cannot howl at the moon like her siblings are able to do. One day while out playing Luna finds a quiet cat and the two become fast friends. When Luna finds her forever home with a loving family, she is finally able to find her voice. This was a beautifully written story with messages about friendship, love, acceptance, kindness, empathy, family, and finding your voice. The illustrations are bright, bold, colorful, and really bring the story to life. I highly recommend this book for children of all ages.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was amazing. It took twists and turns that I didn’t think could happen in a holiday story. It is intense. To start, I already think that elves are a little creepy but this book makes them even more creepy in my mind. I kept turning the pages to see what was going to happen. I couldn’t decided which character I liked more or which one was going on my can’t stand list. The author writes the story in a way that not only makes it flow but also makes you more and more intrigued. Soon you will find yourself trying to figure out what the next move is going to be and almost makes you feel like a detective from your seat. While all this drama is going on there is a sweet, sweet love story going on. You will feel yourself being pulled in different directions, rooting for love, talking to the book because of what is happening, and swooning over just some really cute moments. I highly recommend this book because not only did I not expect what happened to happen but it kept me engaged the whole story and I wasn’t able to put it down. It was a quick read for those reasons.

I loved how Claudia worked to redeem herself,which wasn’t easy on that ship. Claudia turned out to be a strong character who just wanted to do what’s right. I have to applaud her. It’s a good book that had me engaged right from the start. There’s a lot of action, a bit of romance, and some suspense. It’s one I recommend.
