Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story by Winnie D. Pagora
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Unclutter is Book One in the Inner Voice Series. This is the debut novel by this talented author and was so beautifully written that I anxiously await more novels written by her. This book touches on difficult topics such as abuse and self harm but was done in a way that is realistic and honest yet done in a respectful and empathetic manner. The story centers around the character of an eighteen-year-old girl named Tina who has never felt like she belongs. After a traumatic incident with an abuser young Tina is labelled as a liar, slandered, and bullied. She must find the inner strength and courage to stand up to her abuser and overcome her inner demons. This was a powerful and poignant read about the journey that victims of abuse struggle through and as a survivor of abuse, this story really hit home for me. I know how difficult it is to find the courage to not only move forward but to find the strength to face your bully or abuser. It is imperative to create a support system as Tina did and have those that will support you through the highs and lows. I loved the character of Tina who was vulnerable yet strong, smart, feisty, determined, and resilient. I loved that she found the inner strength she needed to come forward. Unfortunately, society is often too quick to judge and label victims of abuse while allowing the abusers to get away with what they have done. This creates a cycle of revictimizing the victim which adds to the trauma they have already suffered. This book contained themes of trauma, abuse, gaslighting, cover-ups, injustice, friendship, hope, and faith. A great book and I look forward to reading more by this author.
The Christmas Carousel by K.L. Small
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Christmas Carousel is book Two in The Brass Ring Series. It is a kids book that delivers a powerful message about the true meaning of Christmas. Rusty is back with the magic ring his grandpa gave him but the magic carousel in the park is shut down for winter. He finds a small Christmas themed carousel in the mall and decides to ride each of the different animals. To be able to afford each ride Rusty shovels snow in his neighbor’s driveways. He wants to go on adventures on the Christmas carousel while also saving money to buy his family gifts. During each of his rides he learns about the true meaning of Christmas and receives the powerful message that Christmas is about love. The character of Rusty is well written, and I love the special bond that he has with his grandfather. The author does a great job of creating vivid, magical scenes that fully immerse you into the story alongside the characters. I am a huge fan of this wonderful series and believe it delivers an important message for readers of all ages. I highly recommend this book!
Lies That Bind: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 6 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lies That Bind is Book Six in the Logan McKenna Mystery series. It is a crime thriller full of drama, intrigue, action, mystery, and suspense. Although this book can be read as a standalone, I do recommend reading previous books in this series to get Logan’s backstory. Logan’s latest adventure finds her meeting long lost family members, buying a fixer-upper with her boyfriend, and trying to solve a mysterious death. Through a series of confessions and old journals Logan discovers some long-buried secrets that put her life in danger. I loved the characters that were introduced in this book and found each one of them relatable. Of course, Logan remains my favorite because of her strength, determination, and courage in the face of danger. I loved how the author took us back in time throughout the book to a different era. I cannot wait to see what Logan’s next adventure will be!
SAFE HARBOR: Logan Book 5 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Safe Harbor is Book five in the Logan Mckenna Mystery Series. It is a crime thriller packed with action, mystery, intrigue, loss, angst, and drama. Although this book can be read as a standalone, I do recommend reading previous books in the series to get Logan’s backstory. This time around Logan’s life is going well and she feels content. She goes on vacation with her family to the coast of Oregon and they are having a peaceful, much deserved vacation when a murder takes place in the small community. Suddenly Logan is confronted with her past after becoming the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Not only must Logan try to prove her innocence, but she is faced with having to make a difficult decision. This was yet another fantastic book in this series with great characters and an intriguing storyline. The descriptions of the Oregon coast were vivid and made me feel as though I was there with Logan and her family. Looking forward to the next book!
Vanishing Day: A Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller Logan Book 4 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Vanishing Day is Book Four in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series. It is a crime thriller with mystery, action, drama, suspense, and intrigue. Although this book could be read as a standalone, I do recommend that previous books in the series be read first in order to know more about Logan and her backstory. This book will leave you on the edge of your seat as Logan is once again facing danger as she tries to help her new neighbor after she was viciously attacked and left for dead. The three-year-old daughter of the young woman was the sole witness to the attack, but it leaves little for the local police to go on. Logan steps in to help the woman and her young daughter but quickly realizes the woman is not who she says she is, and this puts her life in danger, along with that of the woman and her daughter. I love this series and the character of Logan. She is smart, feisty, strong, courageous and determined. This book takes some twists and turns that will have you reading until the end. Looking forward to the next book in this amazing series!

The Truth About Myths by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
After reading this book, I have decided that I actually love historical romance. This book is amazingly written and allows you to picture everything non your head with a clear concise picture. What happens when the person chosen to escort you is your brothers best friend but also a huge rake? All of that is described in the book and you won’t be let down. This is a very quick read because the words flow off the pages and you will get caught up in the story. There is a banter between the characters that has me wishing for more. The passion and the chemistry is off the charts in this book. While the steam in the book is amazing, you will also love the story line. I love the way that the character growths also involves the political satire of the time period. This book has so much depth that I am sold on reading everything the author writes. Even though this is the third book in the series, I feel that you could just pick it up and read it. I am going to read the others in the series because I can’t get enough.
Reviewed by: @bbohls
This is book #4. I could not put this book down. It had me on pins and needles all the way through the book. There is a part in the book that I didn’t expect to be so descriptive because the writer does not really do that, but its towards the end of the book. It gave me mixed emotions all the way through. I laughed, cried, worried, laughed some more and cried some more. I can not stress this enough, You need to read the series from the start of book 1 til book 7. While I did enjoy each book on their own, I feel like I wouldn’t be so torn about Logan McKenna and her need to be so nosy. Mostly because in this one, she was put into a very bad situation and she had to fight for survival….I promise you each book brings you closer to Logan McKenna and how she is so helpful to those who ask ( or don’t ask) for her help.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When he was given an opportunity to have a better life he took it and through hard work, perseverance, and determination he became a highly decorated Navy Seal.

Wolfbane by Celia Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh my gosh this book was so good!!! So good that I went right away and ordered book two and three as soon as I finished it! Yes, it was that good!! I love the whole take on the werewolf mate bond in this book. It was a nice twist and I can not wait to see what happens next with all these characters! Jasmine is a good girl. She follows all the rules. She goes to temple. She doesn’t date. She gets straight A’s. She trains more than most. And she is just overall a well rounded good person. Well that all goes flying out the window when she finally meets her mate. Unfortunately, he’s already been with someone else and because of that her whole life is falling apart. Not all wolves follow the strict rules like Jasmine was. She was brought up to save herself in EVERY way for her mate. Blake is the soon to be alpha of the pack. His mate was taken from him before he even had the chance to mark her. It almost killed him to lose her. He’s not the same person at all. Leaving for a few years helped, but now he is back and after meeting a shy quirky girl his world is tipped on it’s axes. His common sense flew out the window. Self-control melted away and who knows where his discipline went!! He can’t help but like her, but she is destined to be matted to someone else and he can’t mess with that gift for the Goddess. Luke messed up. And I mean, big time!! He keeps trying to right all his wrongs, but he just can’t seem to get anything right. He betrayed his mate in HUGE ways. Trying to clean it up just made it worse and worse and worse. What will he do with his life now? The shambled mess that it is! War is coming to their pack and these three must prepare as much as they can, but how do you do that when your world is flipped upside down and sideways? Death is in the air from this 5 year war, and the other clan just won’t give up on seeking their revenge. You HAVE to read this book!!!!!! If you love a good werewolf romance book with lots of twists and turns, grab this one! Like I said I grabbed two and three as soon as I was finished! You will want to too!!
The Cold Kid Case: A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery by Rosalind Barden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an entertaining cozy mystery. Sparky is quite little protagonist. I found the story to be humorous and mysterious. It kept me engaged all the way through. The story has quite a colorful cast of characters that you are not likely to forget. I definitely couldn’t put it down. I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series.
The Christmas Carousel by K.L. Small
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Rusty is on his next adventure with the magic ring his grandpa gave him. I love this series. It’s not only a fun story but also educational. I love how the author gives a lesson about the true meaning of Christmas. We all need that. This is such a fun series. I love the whole carousel animal twist to it. That was my favorite part of theme parks. Reading these stories brings back some nostalgia. The drawings are really cool to look at as you read. I added the first book to our family library and we’ll be adding this one. This is a must have book for the holidays. Click that button. You won’t sorry with this purchase.
Sea of Demons by Heidi Stark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow! This is an intense page-turner. Romantic suspense with TW. The story will have you on the edge of your seat with the action. It is a reverse harem, it’s really good. The characters are intense and powerful personalities. I can’t give away anymore without spoilers. Worth a read if you like intensity.
Joy’s Christmas Escape: The Marshal’s Mail Order Bride Book 1 by P. Creeden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved this story. Joy and the Marshall both needed each other and it seemed like divine intervention. The writing of the story was such that you felt like you were write in it. I do have to say that after the scene with the bad guy, I felt like I needed a shower. That man threw such shade that you felt it coming out of the book. Joy and the Marshall had a big adventure to undergo and they had a lot to go through. I found the story made me smile. It’s a Christmas theme, that always makes for a wonderful story. The characters were well-written. It’s a great book that is a must read for me.
Detective Dylan and the Case of the Missing Mail: A Youth Sleuths Chapter Book Series by MJ Murray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dylan is hunting for the missing mail with the help of his sister and his dog. A cute chapter book that will be good for beginning readers. It will help them figure out mysteries. It’s an easy to solve mystery and it’s a fun story. My grandson gives it 5 stars also. He wants more.
Arriving Home by Chelsea Lauren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What an intriguingly interesting romance. Two complicated people coming together in a beautiful winter romance. Elijah and Austin have a lot to overcome. It was a journey that I wasn’t sure I wanted to take but I am glad I did. These two had quite the adventure and they were a pair to watch as they grew in their relationship. It’s a unique romance that I’m glad I read. Go ahead and take a chance, you will enjoy this too.
Kneading a Winning Idea by Terri Sabol
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ben just wants to win the baking competition at school. In order to do that he has to figure out how to improve his biscuits. With help from his father and his cat, he tries new ideas to find the right one that will work for his recipe. It’s a terrific book that teaches persistence. Jack doesn’t give up and just keeps trying. A great story with nice illustrations to accompany them make for a storytime book that will win your kiddos over. I’ll be adding it to our library. I believe it will help me teach my grandson self-confidence.
Rise of the Y by Angela D. Shelton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I found this to be quite the intriguing dystopian story. It has a bit of a slow build up that gives us most of the details we need as the story begins to delve into the mystery of Y and if our protagonists should join it. She wants to know the history of Y and if her mother and grandmother were part of it. So many secrets to unravel with this mystery. I was absolutely engaged from the beginning. It’s really kind of scary because in a way it reminds me of our current government, scary stuff. Our protagonist couple is gonna have quite the adventure. I found the writing to be exciting and full of detail. It is full of adventure, deceit and lies. I can’t wait to read where this series will go?
Sarge by Stuart Ledwith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sarge by Stuart Ledwith- 4 out of 5 stars
This book is more of a short novella and I personally love it that way. Short, simple, sweet, and to the point, this book has just enough. Sarge is complex yet a simple man at the same time. While it is part of the Mission 3047 universe, this novella can definitely be read as a standalone. I recommend this read.
My Murder Year by Kate Larkindale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My Murder Year is a YA LGBTQ book full of loss, grief, angst, family drama, suspense, intrigue, and ultimately love. The story centers around the character of teenager Stas who has suffered a lot at the tender age of seventeen. When she discovers her mother’s dead body her life goes into a tailspin. Stas’ father becomes the prime suspect and family members that Stas has never met are determined that she comes to live with each of them. A tug-of-war ensues and family drama escalates as the custody battle over young Stas rages on between them. Uncertain who to trust Stas turns to her new friend Zane for support and comfort as she navigates through her grief. She must also try to figure out who really killed her mother. This was a poignant and emotional tale of overcoming loss and the struggles of adolescence that will leave you reaching for the box of kleenex. The characters were relatable and Stas was someone that I immediately felt a connection to. This book took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and my heart broke for Stas. I highly recommend this book.
Tracker by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Tracker is part of The Talisman Series and is a prequel to the other books in the series. It is a paranormal romance full of drama, danger, action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, Celtic Mythology, and fated mates. The story is told from multiple POV and centers around the characters of Riley and Lynette. In the beginning of the series these two were a couple already but this tells how they met. Riley is a skilled warrior who only cares about having a good time and going out to party with his friends. He is cocky, arrogant, and a bit self-absorbed. Riley has completed the sign ritual to begin his quest for a mate but has no desire to find his mate. Enter Lynette who immediately captures Riley’s attention and he instantly knows she is his mate. She is kind, sweet, brave, and down to earth which balances out Riley’s attitude. Lynette has talisman talents but is unsure as to what they are just yet. Riley and Lynette attempt to get to know one another but the evil goddess Morrigan is determined to keep them apart. The ensuing story is a battle of good versus evil as Riley and Lynette battle against Morrigan in their attempt to be together. A great read that kept me reading until the end. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes by authors Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart- 5 out of 5 stars
This book was so well written, I had a hard time putting it down. I adore the main characters, Roman and Olivia, their banter throughout the book had me losing it and they are both so relatable. Olivia deals with menopause like a boss. Roman is making an effort to make up for all of those times he wasn’t there for his daughter. One thing is for sure, the heat and chemistry from these two was on point! I highly recommend.
Necromancy the Musical by Debbie Hibbert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is an excellent book for young adults and teens!! I am 27 years old and it was still highly enjoyable for me to read. I was intrigued at the very beginning. The characters are wonderful thought out and the magic elements are well written. You can tell the author did their research about Louisiana before writing, as all of the small details are spot on. There is a wonderful balance between murder, mystery, magic, and humor. The only thing that threw me off, was that the title included “the musical” which I do not understand as it isn’t a musical – but does deal with teens going to a drama camp.
The book starts out with a fun, light, summer camp vibe but then turns into the more dark, sinister, mystery. The story takes place in New Orleans, which adds a bit of mystery all on its own. The two main characters, CeCe and Portia, are very easily relatable, and I loved seeing them together, as well as their relationships with other characters. CeCe is a necromancer, who helps her dad, a police detective, solve murders. When CeCe goes off to camp, a sinister supernatural start to target CeCe making everything dangerous for everyone around her.
This is definitely different and unique than most stories in the same genre. There is a twist at the end that I truly hope leads to a sequel! Definitely recommend this book from young teens to young adults, and even adults who just want something light and super easily to read!
In a nutshell, this book is a wonderful paranormal teen mystery with necromancy, magic, crime investigating, danger, friendships, high school teens, family, and quirky characters.
Wicked Games by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is book 7 in the Hidden Valley Elite Series, but the first book in the duet focusing on Shane and Winter. It is not necessary to read all of the previous books in order, but I do recommend you do so, as it will give you much needed background on Shane and some of the other elite characters.
This book will hit you with every single feeling you possibly could have while reading a book! Shane has always intrigued me from the very beginning of the series, just something about him constantly caught my attention. His personality is much more complex than the other three boys in his family. Shane is a mixture of anger, rage, and broodiness but at the same time is the type of boy you’d find yourself staying up late to talk to about absolutely everything, and it would come effortlessly. At the end of Cruel Love, we see that Shane is being arrested on involuntary manslaughter – and this book starts out exactly what happened to get to that point.
Winter – she is a brand-new character entering the series, which I thought was refreshing. She is returning after being gone for 8 years. Her father died, and her sister was then murdered by her mother, who was sentenced to 10 years. Jaxon’s family decided to take her in and showed her what a TRUE LOVING family was supposed to feel and look like.
Twist time—- Shane and Winter have a dark and messed up past together. Winter almost droves Shane to end his life in the fifth grade, and now seeing her back in town, he vows to make her pay for what she did to him. The worst part is…. Winter doesn’t even recognize Shane, so he ends up “pretending” to be a guy named Landon and begins to date Winter.
Such an amazing book but be warned it does end of a hefty cliffhanger! I cannot wait till the second part of the duet comes out!
Will Winter find out who Shane is? If she does, how does she find out? Is Shane in too deep with Winter? Will he know when he has gone too far? Will Winter’s om be granted parole at her next hearing?
1897 A Mark Sutherland Adventure by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
1897: A Mark Sutherland Adventure is a historical adventure with mystery, intrigue, action, suspense, and drama. The story is set in the year 1897 and centers around the character of a young reporter named Mark Sutherland who works for the Chicago Tribune. Mark is always keen to seek out a new adventure and is happy to travel anywhere in the world to find his next big story. The story starts with Mark being sent off to report on a mysterious crash in Texas that involved an unidentified flying object before being sent to cover the gold rush in the Yukon. Along the way he has plenty of ups and downs, faces some harsh conditions, and is faced with some harrowing experiences that test his strength and resolve. The author did a great job of creating a compelling read with historically accurate details, vivid scene descriptions that fully immerse you in the story, and relatable characters that you feel an instant connection to. As a huge fan of the Notebook Mysteries series, I loved the connection between Emma, the MC from the Notebook Mysteries, and Mark which made me want to read more. Another amazing book by this talented author! I cannot wait to read more of Mark Sutherland’s Adventures!
Wicked Games by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This series is becoming one of my favorites and thus author is becoming one that I will read anything she writes. This is the 7th book in the series and these books keep getting better and better. This is the first part of a duet in a series. So, make sure to read this one-first before you move onto the next book. This is also a book that you will want to read the rest in the series before this one, just so you have some background info about this amazing group. This book has everything you could dream of from angst, to steam, to intrigue. Since this is a duet story it does end in a cliff hanger and I normally detest cliffhangers but this one actually makes me want to read the next book, instead of being angry. I suggest that if you absolutely hate cliffhangers that you could wait for the second book to read it but you would be missing out on the start of an amazing story. The enemies to lover vibes that is given will have you turning pages faster than you can read them. The mystery into who did what will have you creating how things are going to go. This book has you wondering if they will figure things out. It also feels like everything is coming full circle with the series. It makes me sad that it is ending but happy that I get at least one more book.

Mystical Midlife Mate: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel by Reggi Dupree
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mystical Midlife Mate is Book Two in the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo series. If you have not yet read the first book in this series, I highly recommend that you do because it carries on with the zany adventures of the characters we met in book one. Gwen is back and has undergone a few transformations that do not sit well with her. Now on top of her already weird life she has transformed into a demon complete with wings, talons, and even fangs. As if that is not bad enough Gwen is suffering a midlife crisis complete with hot flashes and mood swings that make her less than pleasant to be around at the best of times. Enter Ash, the immortal Prince of Hell who has claimed Gwen as his soulmate and protector of her family. He has more than a few secrets that he guards closely regarding his relationship to Gwen’s family. When Gwen is reunited with some of her family, she learns some of those secrets and begins to have doubts about Ash. I loved the character of Gwen and how fierce, strong-willed, and feisty she was. Ash was a character that you love to hate as he comes across as all bad boy who will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. This was another amazing book by this author that was full of drama, action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, magic, vampires, demons, ghosts, and witty banter. I highly Recommend this book!
