Echoing Hearts (Book 1 of The Echo Series)Echoing Hearts by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel has an interesting plot. I’ve never known people to invite others into their home to review it unless they are looking to sell. Kat does not want to sell, so it is peculiar to me that she wants someone to write about it. Other than that, Rae is a force to be reckoned with both professionally and personally.

Rae and Dean have this connection that is undeniable from the moment they meet. You can feel every bit of emotion from the authors writing. If you are looking for a great romance novel, this is it. I cannot wait to read the sequel!

Manipulator’s War (Ruarnon Trilogy Book 1) by Elise Carlson – Review by Allyson Ware

Manipulator's War (Ruarnon Trilogy, #1)Manipulator’s War by Elise Carlson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel was well written. It was fast paced, complex, and inclusive. Although, I would have liked to see more inclusivity in this book. For a YA book, an author can really dive into the hardships, trials, and tribulations that nonbinary individuals face in today’s society. It has potential to be a great book for youth that are struggling to find themselves, but I would have liked to see more of it than the author intertwined in this story. Regardless, the author does a great job with the characters and the plot of this novel.

From the beginning, you are sucked into this story of Ruarnon and Linh. The amount of detail that the author puts into this novel is outstanding. I just wish the author would have focused more on the character building. That is my only complaint about this book. If you enjoy stories with monsters, war, and tough decision making then this book is for you. You will not want to put it down until you finish it.

Savage Start: A High School Bully Romance: Hidden Valley Elite PrequelSavage Start: A High School Bully Romance: Hidden Valley Elite Prequel by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great book, but unfortunately a very short read. I would have loved to have seen more detail in both the characters and the plot. The author did a great job of keeping me on my toes, but it ended all too quickly. I enjoy a complex book, but this lacked that complexity that I love. I can say that I cannot wait to dive into the rest of this series because I want to know what happens next!

The romance is there, but not as in depth as I would have liked to see. Honestly it is difficult to talk about this novel without giving anything away because of how short it is. I guess you will just have to pick this book up for a quick read!

Chatroom with a ViewChatroom with a View by Glenn Maynard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to say.. I was on the edge of my seat with each paragraph I read. I was eager to know what happened next. In some instances, it was predictable, but other times I was surprised. There was an incredible amount of detail in each paragraph, that there was a deep understanding for the characters and what they were thinking. The way the author wrote about the characters and the plot felt like I was watching a movie.

I cannot get over the detail. Troy comes out of the book and you feel sorry for him but you get frustrated with him at the same time. And then you get to know Veronica more, and that is all I will say about that. You will have to read more to know what I mean. Be careful though, once you pick it up you will not be able to put it down.

StoryTeller's Tale: Wretched Soulz MCStoryTeller’s Tale: Wretched Soulz MC by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Storyteller has a shell of stone and a heart of gold. Sheri has a gentle exterior, a brain like Einstein, and a selfless heart. Sheri is constantly worrying about others, something many of us understand too well. Storyteller finds himself hooked on this woman he has never even met. Sheri finds herself in a predicament and fantasizes about being saved by this nomad. Is it a dream or does she end up with the man she has always wanted?

This author never fails to disappoint. From the get-go I was pulled in. The prologue left my jaw hanging. The author seemed to put their heart and soul into this book. The interest that both of the main characters have in reading is uncanny and all too familiar. Particularly their interest in MC storylines. I have not found a novel written by this author that I have not loved. The only reason you will regret picking up this book is because once you start, you will not be able to put it down until you are done. So make sure to set a few hours aside in your schedule because you will not get anything done until you finish this book.

Underboss's Retaliation (Sicilian Gods Book 2)Underboss’s Retaliation by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The fight that Emelia has within her is outstanding. The trauma she has endured and still to be strong enough to push herself is inspiring. As a mafia bosses daughter, she is used to death and deceit, but I do not think she was prepared for the havoc she had to endure after watching her family die before her eyes. I cannot express enough the jealousy I have of the fight she has within her. THEN, you get into this romance that comes in like a wrecking ball. To be able to love and trust after everything Emelia has gone through is even more inspiring.

Now about Dominic.. who would not be attracted to the strength that Emelia has? It is really no surprise that he falls in love with her. The strong and rather possessive soldier that Dominic is makes the enemies to lovers fantasy that much more enjoyable. From the characters to the plot, from beginning to end, this book is fantastic. You do not need to read the first book to understand the second, but I plan on going back and devouring the first!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A one night stand between an attorney and a mystery woman. This book could not get any sexier. You know so little about the two characters, yet you feel like you’ve known them for years. This novel took me less than 3 hours to read. I’m still not sure if that means that it was a short book or if I was too focused on reading to pay attention to anything else. If you are looking for a sexy, mysterious romance, then this is the book for you. I cannot wait to get my hands on the other work by this author, ESPECIALLY the next book to this series. I NEED to find out what happens next!

And Then She FellAnd Then She Fell by Dreena Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m a sucker for a good psychological thriller, and this met all of my criteria. I felt an emotional connection to Catherine, the main character in this book. It is difficult for me to really delve emotionally into a novel, but this author managed to pull me in: hook, line, and sinker. Being a mom can be incredibly difficult but being a mother of a child that has passed has to be a million times more difficult. I think becoming a mom for the first time has really put that into perspective for me.
Enough about myself.. this novel is spectacular and I highly recommend for anyone who loves a good psychological thriller. The characters, plot, and emotion in this novel will leave you wanting to read until you finish it.

I dove head first into this book. I did not read the first, but you do not need to in order to read this book. However, I plan on going and reading the first as soon as I can get my hands on it because WOW! This book was intense to the very last page. The plot and characters suck you in immediately and I found it difficult to put down.

The romance between Tallie and Jackson is one that gives you hope along the way. It was also a very relatable relationship. If you enjoy a good suspense, mystery, and romance novel, then this one is for you. Whether you pick up this one first or you pick up the first in the series, you need to get your hands on this novel.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I cannot get enough!! I have not read the other Bratva books, but I now definitely plan on going back and reading them! This novel stuck out to me because I absolutely love the Beauty and the Beast story, and this sounded comparable. I was not disappointed in the slightest. You will love everything about Annika and Adrik. The author did a fantastic job creating these characters and did the same with the plot.
This is definitely still a Mafia novel, so do not get that confused with the romance entwined within. I can guarantee you will still find it thrilling and mysterious. I definitely did. I highly recommend this book. You will not be able to put it down!

Tink (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book One)Tink by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love a good love story. I also love a good heroic story. This book has amazing characters tied into an even better plot. This is the first all female MC book I have ever read and it did not disappoint. There does need to be a trigger warning regarding sexual assault. As strong women do, Tink takes to helping human trafficking victims after going through her own traumatic experience.

Noodles comes into the picture and turns Tink’s world upside down. Or is it really the other way around? Regardless, these two are a cute duo trying to find themselves and help each other. I truly loved everything about this book and highly recommend to anyone who enjoys romantic novels.

The VeilThe Veil by Wanda Luthman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel was not what I expected. Firstly, it took me an hour, maybe less, to read. It would probably take you longer to read the actual biblical version of the veil ripping than this novel will take you to read. Besides it being short, it was well written. With it being so short, I do not want to say too much because it is easy enough for you to pick up and read. It is also difficult to say anything without giving up the whole story.

The story is an interesting take on the story compared to the story in the Bible. If you believe you would enjoy something like that, this is the book for you. It really is short enough for anyone to read and enjoy.

Petty's Crime (Satan's Devils MC Las Vegas #3)Petty’s Crime by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am never disappointed by this author. After reading the first two books in this series, I was excited to read the third and picked it up immediately. I will be honest though, if I knew that this book was about Petty after reading the first and second book, I would not have picked it up. But, I am beyond glad that I did.

Trigger warning: there is sexual assault and abuse in this novel. What I like about this book is that it focuses on a man being abused, rather than a woman being abused. The more male abuse is discussed, the more normal the conversation becomes and the more likely men are to come forward. There is and probably always will be a stigma about men coming forward when it comes to abuse and/or rape, but the more we talk openly about it, the less stigmatized it becomes.

If you are able to read this novel, I highly recommend it. The author is amazing at creating great characters and plot lines. I will always pick up a book by this author, regardless of who the characters are. They say to never judge a book by its cover, well, I should never judge a character by their persona. I ended up loving Petty by the end of this novel. You won’t be disappointed if you decide to give this a read!

The IntrudersThe Intruders by Brett McKay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel was a great thriller. It was very original and the plot seemed very well planned out. The characters also appear to have some personal flares added to them. It is obvious that the author put a good amount of heart and soul into this book. One of the main reasons I know this, is because of the author notes at the end of each chapter. Those notes were a nice way of connecting with the author, but I felt there were too many. Sometimes it felt like the author was just trying to fill space, which is one of the downsides of this book.

You can definitely get away with just not reading the author notes, but they were often fun and/or informative; there were few times they felt like filler notes. I would recommend this novel to anyone looking for an original plot and good characters that were handled with great care.

The Prisoner of Paradise (Painted Souls, #1)The Prisoner of Paradise by Rob Samborn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel is best described, in my opinion, as interesting. The plot is not at all what I originally anticipated, but it did not disappoint. The anticipation truly kept me on edge until the very end. The only complaint I have about this book is that I could not connect with the characters. Nick is a very determined but selfish man, married to Julia who is independent yet selfless. I have no idea how these two got married and have such an amazing connection, but if Nick was my husband I would divorce him in a split second after the trip he put Julia through.

Aside from the characters, I did quite enjoy the plot. It was intense and left me guessing until the end. If you enjoy thrillers, I would recommend picking up this novel. Just because I did not connect with the characters does not mean you won’t!

I am a sucker for dystopian fiction. I am also slightly obsessed with zombie fiction.. So you know I picked this book up immediately. I tend to rate these books with more critique than other novels because I read them so often. I do have to say that I was not disappointed by one of these authors. To top it all off, the proceeds are going to a fantastic charity. The only disappointment I had was that the stories were so short and left me wanting to read so much more. I could not knock a star off for that. How can you take a star for the stories being so awesome?

The bright side to the stories being shorter than normal is that you fly through this book in no time. If you are looking for a good, easy, semi-short read, this book is for you. The authors will not disappoint you, nor will the characters or the plots. Just be prepared for all of the suspense you will experience and the need for more at the end of each short story!

Ashes of Sin and StardustAshes of Sin and Stardust by Lindsay Murray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel is incredible: the way it is written, the plot, the characters, the romance.. I could not pull myself away from it. The way Rueben and Alice come together is not only incredibly intimate and romantic, but they are also sexy and adorable. The author does an amazing job of creating relatable characters and a storyline that has you desperate for more. I have never read anything by this author before, but I cannot wait to get my hands on more of their work.

Rueben and Alice meet within the BDSM community that they are a part of. The community is not something that I am familiar with, but the author explains it in such a way that any beginner would understand just by reading this novel. What I love about Rueben and Alice’s dynamic is how consensual it is and how Rueben insists on communication to ensure consent throughout their scenes and relationship. I also believe the author stressed that consent is necessary, even within the BDSM community and no matter the kink, which I respect entirely. Please do yourself a favor and read this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had my mind running from the beginning. I was not able to put it down until I was finished with the marathon. And what a run it was! I feel exhausted but relieved. The author does a great job capturing your attention from beginning to end. I also love that the author details at the end of the book what parts of the story are true and what parts are not. The detail is what makes this novel so intriguing, but the fact that the author did their research to help bring the book to life makes it that much better.

Everyone has a mindset of “that can’t happen to me”, until it does happen to them. The events in this book need to remind everyone that it CAN happen to you and teach you to be more vigilant during our every day activities; whether it is driving home from work or going to a crowded beach party. I most definitely recommend this novel to any crime/mystery readers. This one will not disappoint!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The anticipation the author leaves is similar to chasing a high. You read each page as if it will hold the answer you are searching for. The author had my attention from the first sentence to the last. It was difficult getting anything done because I wanted to know what happened to the Fitchett brothers. The only way I was going to get my answer was if I kept reading.

The characters are brought to life in such a way that you almost feel like you are reading a nonfiction book. I do not think I can describe the Fitchett brothers as anything other than relatable without giving anything away. Then you have Garrison and Molly who you are rooting for the entire time. And of course you cannot forget Lorraine, who is loveable but frustrating. You also have characters who play a smaller role in the novel, but the author writes about them giving them as much personality as the main characters. This book is truly a work of art. If you enjoy a good mystery novel, this is the perfect one for you. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

A Quirk of DestinyA Quirk of Destiny by Catherine Greenall
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This dystopian thriller has a plot based around the GM versus Organic debate that is well known around the United States, if not the world. It focuses on a particular genetic mutation that is able to enter and affect the human body when consumed from animal based products. These humans turn into what the characters in the novel call “Genies”. These Genies are violent, unreasonable, and zombie-like. Much of the focus is centered on the government hiding the fact that they allowed these GM’s to be distributed throughout the world and the friend group that the novel focuses on specifically is trying their best to spread the word so others are not affected by these GM’s.

To be quite honest, I was not able to enjoy this book as much as I wanted to. Dystopian is one of my favorite genre’s, so I was eager to get my hands on it. The beginning is much too political and scientific for my fictional brain, making it difficult for me to dive right into. The characters are very strong-willed and interesting, but I feel like information is thrown at you in random places throughout the book. I also feel that the novel was slower-paced than your typical dystopian writing. There is so much happening that you really have to be paying attention or you will miss a valuable piece of information. If you like a more realistic dystopian take, this novel is for you. Unfortunately I could not separate the political ideologies in order to enjoy this book as much as I wanted to.

This book has it all: action, sci-fi, romance, and suspense. On top of the amazing plot, the characters are incredible. I still cannot decide if I prefer Mia or Castor because they are both loveable in their own ways.

This book can be read as a stand alone, but I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you go back and read the first in this series. This author knows how to captivate a reader and steal a couple hours of your time. Before you know it, it is midnight and your partner is asking why you are still up reading.

No Pistol Tastes the SameNo Pistol Tastes the Same by Jacob Paul Patchen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From the very beginning, you know that this book is going to get down into the nitty gritty of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In today’s society, most people know what PTSD is, but very few understand or can comprehend it. We know the definition, the diagnosis, and some of the symptoms that come with PTSD. However, not everyone experiences it and those that do never respond or experience it in the same way as another. I think this novel does a great job of telling a detailed story about how PTSD can play a role in someone’s every day life.

This book takes on a slow pace but does not fail to keep your attention. The way author tells the story of JP and his family is undeniably fascinating and heartwarming. This family is what America would consider the average home. Being able to see behind closed doors, specifically into JP’s mind, is enthralling.

I could talk all day about this book. If you are a psychology lover such as myself, you will want to devour every page of this novel. If you enjoy war fiction, pick it up. If you want a fast paced book, you might want to save this one for a rainy day.

This author never disappoints. I was taken aback a tad by the plot; just not a typical setting for this author. As I said before though, I was not disappointed. You really get to feel and understand Raven and Dwarf. Two amazing characters that are clearly underestimated, and of course they fit together like a puzzle piece. I have never read a book by this author and been anything less than excited. I am normally not a romance reader, but I make an exception because every single one of these books are fabulous from beginning to end!

I cannot divulge in the plot or the characters without giving away too much, so I will just say if you enjoy scary movies with some romance tied in, this novel is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first novel I have read that was written by this author, and I can confidently say I was not disappointed. The detail is immaculate, although I will say I struggled with that at the beginning. The story is realistic, which is both good and bad. Good because it is relatable and gives an important outlook on certain situations for those who may have never experienced them or those who have yet to have the opportunity to experience them. And yet bad because it can be triggering for those who have experienced these situations. It is important for readers to understand that this is a fictional book, even though it may be relatable.

The Wish-Eater is so fast paced once you delve into Elodie and Sebastian’s world. I would recommend this novel to any fantasy and fairy-tale lovers out there! To be completely honest with myself, I typically skip the author’s note at the end of a book, but just like the rest of the novel I was drawn in. Bring tissues when you get to that point!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You definitely have to have a general understanding of Greek Mythology and the God’s before you read this novel (otherwise I do not know that I would have understood it as well as I did). I feel like the author did a great job incorporating the characters and really getting into their personality in a relatively short book and I applaud the author for that. The detail was immaculate from the characters to the plot and the world building.

The reason I gave this four stars instead of five was because I struggled to dive into this book like I have with other Greek Mythology books in the past. Otherwise this novel would have definitely been a five star read for me. I also loved that it was a different take on Apollo; before he ascends. I do give the author creativity points for thinking outside of the box with this different point of view. I would recommend this novel to any romance and/or Mythology reader.

The best word I can think of to describe this book is shocking. It was not anything I anticipated. From the summarization, I was expecting a dystopian world full of crime. Both of those are relatively true for this novel, but not in the way I originally had in mind.

The author kept me entertained with surprise until the very end, but to be honest I was a little disappointed with the characters. I love getting to know the characters in more detail, but you do not learn much about the main three (Rod, Sally, and Ned). You learn enough to understand the plot, but I would have loved more detail about all of them. Overall, this was a very original story line and would recommend to any horror or thriller reader looking for a different plot line.

This author knows how to write a good book. This is the fifth book in this series and before I came across this author, I had never before picked up a mafia themed book. From the very first page to the last, my attention did not deviate. The characters are unbelievably developed and this novel is no exception.

I did not immediately fall in love with Luc, but Summer had my heart from the beginning. There are plenty of other characters to take after if you do not like either of the two. I know some people had difficulty taking off with this novel in the series, but I had absolutely no issue. The adventure takes off immediately and the twists and turns seem never ending. I highly recommend this novel to any fiction lover looking for some romance and adventure in their lives!

As a mystery lover, this novel enticed me right away. A very quick read, but very detailed as well. The characters are easy to get to know; as if I had already met them from prior books in the series. We all know that cannot be true because this is the only book in the series. These characters just melt your heart right away and the author does a fabulous job of capturing your attention until the very end.

I am not much of a romance reader, but this book had just the right amount of mystery along with the romance tied in which kept me hooked. This novel also has a happy ending, which I can appreciate. The author has struck my intrigue and I definitely plan on reading more of their work!
