There is a lot going on throughout the story, there is love, death, confessions, and of course diamonds. We all know that Diamonds are a girl’s best friend at least what we are told growing up. However, in the diamond in this story is not meant to be anyone’s best friend.

Can Mimi find out who murdered her friend without getting hurt herself? Read to find out and to see what happens to the diamond at the end.

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: 4 of 5 stars

This is one of the best romantic suspense I’ve read this year. From the moment I picked it up, I couldn’t put it down. Regan thinks she’s just doing a book tour with Pavlo. Little does she know that her so-called “friend/publicist” Isla, has set her up for danger. This journey is full of twists, turns, deceit, and lies. I fell in love with this story because it’s fast-paced. The action and romance is nonstop. The chemistry between Pavlo and Regan is really good and ready to combust if people would stop knocking on the door. I enjoyed watching the chemistry and denial between Finlay and Drake develop. I would love to see a story their. Those two are in serious denial. This is a great story that I couldn’t get enough of.

This is the first book that I have read by Nadia. It’s a fast paced book that pulls you around Lynn and James’ life and possible plans after winning the lottery.  However, you are pulled into a paranoia that someone is out to get Lynn. Can she figure out if someone is actually trying to hurt her or is it all in her head? This is the first book in the series and there a lot of unanswered questions. You will need to finish the series in order for it to make sense. There is a lot of violence specifically domestic violence, so if you have been in that situation this is not a series for you to read.

Where the Ocean Meets the Sky (The Ocean)Where the Ocean Meets the Sky by A.R. Hadley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have truly sat and tried to figure out what to say about this story. I have read both stories. this book touched me so much. It’s really an emotional story. They both have tremendous emotional issues to deal with. Watching their emotional relationship develop was beautiful yet painful because her adoptive parents were supportive, yet not. There are so many issues in the story. It touches your heart and you want to root for them because they go through so much. You just watch them work through it and though Annie seems immature, she is a strong woman. She is just young and has a big trauma. Cal, however, is older and is dealing with a large loss. It’s a beautiful story that I would recommend. I’m in awe of both stories.

Slay It With a Diamond (Diamond District Mystery Book 3)Slay It With a Diamond by Rob Bates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story pulled me right in. Mimi gets pulled into a mystery when her friend, Roz, sells a “cursed” diamond to her dad, Max. I couldn’t help but be pulled in by the “human spam” telling Mimi about the men following Roz that then followed Mimi, etc. It was like a domino chain falling over. The mystery started and you couldn’t stop. You had to follow it to the end. Thankfully, Michael was there to help her because she was way in over her head at times. I came into the series here at book three and I will be going back to book one. You can read as a stand alone. The characters are awesome. They are totally relatable. The story is very engaging. It’s a fun cozy as you solve the mystery.

Sea of Demons: A Dark Enemies to Lovers Mafia RomanceSea of Demons: A Dark Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance by Heidi Stark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sea of Demons is Book Three in the Blood and Sand Series. This would be the Fifth Book in the series because the Second Book in the series was previously sold separately under three different titles but has since been combined and released under one single title. Sea of Demons is a dark romance with drama, suspense, intrigue, action, danger, murder, mayhem, violence, passion, chemistry, and complicated family dynamics. As the first book that I have read in this series I wish that I had started with the previous books to gain a better understanding of the characters and their backstories. The storyline focuses on the character of Devon who is confronting her abusive father who sold her to pay off debts he had incurred. She was rescued by four brothers who would do anything for her and will go to great lengths to protect her. Each brother is deeply in love with Devon, and she is in a unique relationship with each of the four brothers. After exacting revenge on her father for his atrocities they decide to deal with the man that bought Devon. However, things do not go as planned and their lives are in danger at every turn. This book was action packed and full of twists and turns that kept me hooked until the end. The characters were intriguing, unique, and engaging. Each was smart, tough, brave, and not afraid to confront danger as it came at them. The reverse harem aspect with Devon and the four brothers was unique and it was interesting to read the dynamics between her and each of the brothers. Overall, a great read with some spicy scenes, tense moments, an intriguing storyline.

This Egg Won't HatchThis Egg Won’t Hatch by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This Egg Won’t Hatch is a kid’s book designed for children between the ages of four to eight years of age. It tells the story of a Mama Warbler who is waiting for the last egg to hatch in her nest. The first egg was too large and turned out to be a Cuckoo that was laid in her nest. Mama Warbler decide to accept the Baby Cuckoo as her own and treat it as she would if it were one of her own eggs. The last egg, Timid Chick, will not hatch because the baby is too scared to come out of her shell after being told by the Baby Cuckoo that she should stay in her egg because it is no fun inside. One day while Mama Warbler is off getting food to feed her babies the Baby Cuckoo kicks Timid Chick out of the nest. This gives her a whole new outlook on things. Mama Warbler is very patient as she tries to coax Timid Chick out of her shell. This was a beautiful story with cute characters that teach valuable lessons in patience, understanding, love, kindness, family, bullies, confidence, and overcoming fear. The illustrations are fun, bright, colorful, and really bring the story to life.

Lottery of SecretsLottery of Secrets by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lottery of Secrets is a psychological thriller full of action, suspense, angst, danger, mystery, intrigue, drama, and secrets. The story centers around the character of Lynn who has just won the lottery and is dreaming of how she will start a new life with her winnings. She is currently living in a rundown house with her abusive husband and wants to leave but has been unsure how. When Lynn discovers she has won the lottery she grapples with the decision of whether she should tell her husband or if she should just start a new life somewhere else. Winning the lottery does not change her life the way in which Lynn had hoped and dreamed that it would. Instead, she finds her life spiraling out of control as she receives anonymous notes, and her past comes back to haunt her. This book takes some twists and turns that kept me reading to see what happened next. Lynn is a character that is easily likable and relatable. Suffering from an illness and living with an abusive husband left me hoping she would be able to get the happily ever after she deserved. The book ends with a cliffhanger, and I anxiously await the next book in this series.

Sea of Demons: A Dark Enemies to Lovers Mafia RomanceSea of Demons: A Dark Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance by Heidi Stark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is not the first book in the series and it does continue on from book to book. I highly suggest reading the first couple books in the series, as it will bring more depth into this book. I didn’t read the other books first and I am wishing that I did. I will go back and read them now because I need to understand the character development and the depth of the story line. This is a dark romance and it does not let you down in that genre. It is also reverse harem with many twists and turns. If you haven’t read the first couple books, y0u will be able to keep up with this but there are already relationships that have been formed that I feel have been covered with their stories in the previous books. That said, I was not lost reading this book and it was an amazing read. It as quick because I couldn’t put it down. There is depth to the plot line that sometimes doesn’t happen with reverse harems because the emphasis is put more on the steam. This book has plenty of steam but it isn’t the driving factor of this book. Well, it wasn’t for me. I highly suggest reading this book and the whole series because if the other books are like this one, I know I won’t be disappointed at all.

Even toys from the playground. Luckily the fisherman was able to get trout when the tornado started dropping fish.<br />Such a silly book but was so wonderful! Another amazing read by Lois!

Dark Moon Secrets (Witch Moon #1)Dark Moon Secrets by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love everything that Lilliana Rose writes, and this is no exception. This is an amazing start to a wonderful series of witches, werewolves, a somewhat enemy to lovers’ trope, secrets, destiny, lots of action, adventure, and tension.

This is such an interesting forbidden love story. This beginning book to the series is such a great start and for a steppingstone to continue the series. It is such a superb blend of the paranormal genre. The world building was very well thought out, and the plot was written wonderfully as always. I love the way Lilliana writes, it is so personal and easy to follow, but at the same time full of so much information. The end of this story made me wish it hadn’t ended.

Tanjie is a witch but does not know it. When she loses someone very special to her, y. After their death, she finds herself in a new town and in a bookstore. A bookstore that is soooo much more than it seems on the outside. She finds out that there is much more to the world, and herself than she had believed. In order to save the future of the coven, she now must claim her birthright and power.

Alaric, is a werewolf, who loves stalking as much as he can throughout the night. He is ready for the next step on the pack’s life. There is a war coming, but he might just have fallen for the enemy.

Both are terribly stubborn and very ignorant at first, I really wanted to shake them and ask what the heck was wrong with them!!! On the other hand, I did like watching them work through those issues, and then seeing them finally growing together! I feel that their character development and relationship was very realistic and easy to relate to.

Cannot wait to read book 2.

I love this series! This is book 4, and while I loved the book, I felt there was very limited information on what New has happened.

Usually, C.A. King can write a 100-150 page book, and I feel like I’ve read an intense amount of details, but this book felt as if it was rushed and thrown together. Even with that said, it wasn’t a bad read, just very, very short and not a lot of details.

The Crones are out in full force again. This time, who can she trust? Anyone? This year, she isn’t even allowed to have her helpers! She is being watched at every turn and of course the person she turns to is the one person everyone forgets about meeting immediately. I feel a romance brewing there 👀.

Now that she has chosen to exile herself to a grave yard no one even knows exists, will she have the opportunity to change the magic world for the better? Will she uncover more nasty truths the Crones have made disappear?

Cannot wait for book 5!
