Unmasking A Cowgirl by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A little slow to start but I overall very good. I love the semi-enemies turned couple twist to the family redemption story. Reminded me a bit of a hallmark movie though which is why I gave the 4 stars. Not a whole lot of grit to it.
The Places We Call Home: A picture book to remind us that home is where all love begins. by Kim Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My daughter thought learning about different homes was great and really loved the illustrations as well! Her reading level is fairly low and she was able to breeze through with only minor assistance. I myself thought the layout and all the different types of homes were great and the story flowed well.

Pursuit into Darkness by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Pursuit into darkness was told from Julia’s POV. It follows her descent into madness from the abuse she endure as a human. After nearly a century of being a vampire and losing her soul mate, she also loses her sense of self worth.
Instead of trusting the members of her ka-tet, she gives into the voices and hallucinations of her violent ex-husband telling her she’s worthless, and joins Valentino in trying to bring down the Resistance.
Samuel and Kali are able to get through to her enough to spare Samuel and he kidnaps her back, which infuriates Matthew and he leaves the ka-tat because he does not trust Julia.

An Ember of Hope: War of Destiny by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Where do I even begin!?!? The nail biting suspense? The character development? The plot? This was so good!
Matthew’s struggle of losing not only his soul mate, but also his ka-tat from harboring Julia after her betrayal and even his elemental super powers was heart wrenching! Living alone in the mountains only made his mental health worse. His soul mate finally convinced him in a dream to rejoin society where he meets the Medici brothers and becomes a valuable asset to both the Duke and the Cardinal.
Matthew has to continue to balance pretending to be human, while also not damaging his vampire anatomy. Valentino causes chaos in Rome and Matthew has to take the long way to avoid being spotted by Valentino’s clan to come help the Cardinal. Matthew fights alongside the humans to relinquish the clan that has infiltrated the Villa and has the humans enthralled and hypnotized to try to take over and rule Rome.

Corpse Pixie by Sinister Styx
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A half Pixie half Necromancer 😱 Belladonna really gets under your skin but at the same time is so easy to like🤯. The Hunters are hunting the paranormal while the paranormal are hunting the Hunters!
René get put through the ringer- loses his twin sister to find out their brother is behind her murder for Demonic Powers, and in the midst becomes the Pixies play thing and under his control.
René also has dormant powers that become awoken thanks to Belladonna!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love the originality of the words and that the definitions are included! My daughter had a bit of a hard time. She is 6 in 2nd grade but reading at a kindergarten level. I will definitely be getting this book for friends who just had girls!!
