Picking up where we left off from book one, we’re tossed back into the sci-fi adventure! I was excited to see this second book and read more about the creative world the author had made. Science fiction may not be my forte, but I really enjoyed reading the first book so decided reading this one would be worth it – and of course, it was! The pace of this book was perfect and the story connected well with the first book and makes way for the third. I can’t wait to see where things will go from here!

A momma bird one-day returns to her nest to find another bird laying an egg in her nest. To the Momma Warbler, it’s just one more egg to take care of. Soon enough, the egg hatches and the baby bird has a much larger appetite than expected… I really enjoyed how entertaining and well-written the story was. I can easily see myself reading this story to children and getting into a scientific-based talk about this phenomenon. The illustrations are also beautiful and easy to follow and decipher.

I’ve learned to expect the unexpected with this author’s books. After reading the first book, I dove into this one with an open mind and was ready for another exciting read – I was not disappointed. From the first chapter, I was hooked and drawn back into the world crafted in these pages. This book has more of the author’s blooming creativity and intense writing. Strange and horrifying in a charming and dramatic sort of way, this fantastical sci-fi read is perfect for Halloween and the spooky month we’re in!

Best friends Wednesday and Ryker are paranormals who have the unfortunate – or perhaps extremely fortunate – situation of not only being physically attracted to each other but harboring secret romantic feelings for one another. To make the matter even more complicated, they have a more intimate relationship along the lines of ‘no strings’. I loved this concept from the beginning and was blown away by the easy dialogue and quick yet steady pace of the story. This was a super cute romance and the first book of the series I’ve read. Thankfully, this standalone doesn’t seem to connect to others in the series. Now that I’ve read this one, however, I’m dying to read the others!

Bond – Review by Amanda Gonzalez
Though very short, I feel like we were able to see a wide variety of things in this gothic horror tale. The way the author crafted this story makes dating shine in a more sinister, yet oddly relatable, light. At times, the dating game can seem like you’re risking more than just your self-esteem, as was shown in this book, and it’s easy to make the comparisons of sickness and rot – especially when it seems all the ‘dead’ are disguised as the ‘living’. And yet, you get pulled back into the mix of finding love for some compelling reason you can’t really fathom. I love how seamlessly this story weaves reality and metaphor and horror together with raw emotion and truth I feel really shines through to the reader. This wasn’t my first time reading this author’s works, and it certainly won’t be the last, but if you’re looking for a quick and slightly chilling read, you’ve found your book!

Though this isn’t the first book I’ve read from this author, I wasn’t too sure what I’d see when I first began to read Necrosis but I had high expectations. Of course, my expectations were met and quickly surpassed. As a person who adores the spooky aspect of fall, I feel like this gave a perfect start to the season! We’re brought into this apocalyptic world with a bang and follow mother Amy on a mission to keep her child safe in a world turned upside down. As with any zombie-outbreak story, there are tough decisions, devastating truths, and a minefield of terror threaded throughout. Even so, the love and bond that only a mother can know is strong and keeps the worst of the darkness at bay, in my opinion. I can’t wait to see what C.L. Schneider comes up with next!
One of my favorite things about this book is the unique aspect of the world of magik. It’s one thing to create a mystery and adventure around the magical genre, but another to bring it to life in the way I’ve seen in this book! The characters feel well-rounded and I adore the banter from each one. Learning about Ava’s agency and life was so unique to me, and I really like how the author allowed for a build-up into the world we see throughout the story. I can already tell this is going to be an awesome series and I’ll be looking forward to reading more in the second book!
Book one, Diabolical Sword, felt like both introduction and teaser of the world where magic exists. Not only does magic itself thrive in a city, but there are supernatural forces – and beings – that have and use it. I fell in love with the series within the first few chapters of the first book, so when I had the opportunity to read this, the second of the Charm Collector series, I jumped on it. And I’m so glad that I did! Wicked Treasure is the continuation of Harlow’s story with the added mix of her best friend, Kayda’s, point of view. Harlow, her sword, and the illusive Caspian are on the run, attempting to solve the mystery of the origins of the sentient sword…one thing leads to another, and our heroine finds herself in yet another precarious situation. Meanwhile, Kayda’s left in Luma to handle the fallout- and something she never expected to have to deal with. The concept behind the draken is so intriguing to me, so I’m thrilled that the author decided to expand on them just a bit in this book. Kayda struck me as a fierce-warrior in book one, but we get to see a little more complexity from her in the sequel. The characters, even the side characters, in these books feel so alive and well-written that the entire story practically weaves itself into your imagination. Now I’m trying to be patient and wait for the next book, but I have a feeling – just like with this one – that the third book will be worth the wait!

A thoroughly strange and unique read. I have to admit my favorite thing about this book was the author’s descriptive language. I had never read anything from this author, but their style of writing definitely drew me in and gave life to this book. The book has an eclectic plot that is like nothing else I’ve ever read before. Bottom line: if you’re into dark humor, horror, sci-fi elements, and not too attached to characters in general – you’ll enjoy this book.

Or Not. by Robert Rife – Review by Amanda Gonzalez
Street-savvy Aimee, a woman content in the life of simplicity she has managed to survive with, finds herself in the precarious situation of saving someone on one of her courier jobs. Little does she know, Aimee has just saved Sheikh Qadir Saif-Ad-Din – a royal. Soon, the unlikely couple finds themselves falling for each other – but that doesn’t mean everything is about to fall into place… This was a wonderful read! I always love a good romance, but the action and overall flow of the story went beyond the typical sweetness of a solid romance and transformed the tale into an amazing story! Many romantic-suspense books fall short of the mark, with either too much romance or not enough, but this one had it all – as well as the added bonus of great world-building and intricate characters. If you’re looking for a burning romance with the added spice of adventure, this is the book for you!

Smith – Review by Amanda Gonzalez
Set in a time where women are seen as possessions and inferior to men, we get to see a forward-thinking heroine looking for a chance to live the life she’s always dreamed of. I normally stay away from historical fiction, or fantasy in this case, because I prefer the freedoms of our current time; however, I deeply enjoyed reading this book. The strength of the main character and her tenacious attitude kept me focused from the start. Then there’s the fantastical and paranormal aspect to the book that I found so unique and refreshing! I also loved how everything started to fall into place as the story went on and the mystery began to unfold. I’m looking forward to book two!

Though I’ve read fictional works about the Cassquette Girls before, this is definitely up there as one of my favorite interpretations of their tales. At first, I wasn’t all that sure of what to expect and was pleasantly surprised to discover there was more to this short story than I had originally guessed. I loved reading and learning about Greek mythology growing up, so it was nice to see a little of that playing in this book. I enjoyed how, though the story itself is short, everything came together at a good pace and held my attention from cover to cover. I’m looking forward to reading the second book in the series now!

Brazeau – Review by Amanda Gonzalez
Second book of the Casket Girls, this story focuses on the events following the first book that introduced the circumstances leading the girls from their lives in France to the current ones in New Orleans. In this story, we’re taken through Desiree’s part. Desiree and Theron work together to track and hunt the remaining vampires that fed on the girls in the first book. Of course, then Jaxon, one of the vampires, and things become even more intriguing. It was fascinating to read and see the development of the characters from the first book to this second one, as well as the introduction of the new ones. I loved how, though each of the books have focused on different couples, the storyline remains strong and is wonderfully shown from book to book!

Brazeau – Review by Amanda Gonzalez
No one wants to receive a cancer diagnosis, even if it’s not something you yourself have gone through, the news is heartbreaking to receive, especially for a loved one. In this book, we’re taken into the tragic rollercoaster that is cancer for a pet and are shown just how difficult this situation can be for both owner and pet. Pets are more than just ‘man’s best friend’, they’re our own family – beings we care for and love, which just makes the situation more heart-wrenching. I was drawn into this book because of the true light shown on this situation by the author. It takes a lot for someone to be so open about their experiences with something like this, and I really appreciate the strength it must have taken for this story to not only be written but shared.

One of my favorite villainesses, I’ve always found the idea of the Queen of Hearts interesting, but I loved seeing the author transform the character in this way! A woman who’s familiar with the deceit of men, Mimi has risen above and beyond the usual call of revenge. Wonderfully dark and well-written, the plot thickens with this delightfully twisted tale of the Queen of Hearts. Even though the story was short and fast-paced, I feel like it was full of life and had plenty of mystery and intrigue. I’ve never read any of the other books from this series, but I’ll definitely be looking into them after reading this one, as well as more books from the author!
This was an interesting take on zodiac mythology and something unique that was interesting to learn about. I enjoyed how easily and quickly the story flowed throughout the book. I was also enchanted by the idea of merfolk and how they live – along with their system of life and culture. Each voice of the characters was well defined and multi-dimensional in a way that really helps the reader understand them and their actions. Told from the perspective of the four main characters, this story was short but ultimately satisfying to read.

Crime, the thrill of the chase, and a gripping mystery all wrapped into one book. There were so many moving pieces in this story that kept me captivated, more than just that of the usual ‘crime novel’. Sure, there’s the classic ‘bad guy’ and ‘good guy’ but not everything is quite so black and white. When we’re introduced into this life of Nora Sommer, we’re not sure what we’ve gotten into, but then the plot thickens as we discover more about the circumstances surrounding her first case. Even as she’s gone through her own trials before this, when Nora’s thrown into this crazy situation I really love seeing how she perseveres and fights to do what’s right. The pace was moderate, not too fast or too slow but really well-paced. Though I’ve never been the Cayman Islands, I liked how I was able to imagine the scenery clearly and felt as if I were in the story with the other characters.

I really enjoyed reading about this female lead. Typically, the heroine is there kicking down doors ad sprigging into action when there’s a conflict – or at least that’s been my experience – but Chloe is a healer at heart and not one to go running towards danger. The premise of the story felt very well-rounded to me and I was able to picture things in a more realistic way – even if the time the book is set in doesn’t reflect the current period. I’m not normally one for books about the fae, sometimes it just gets too complicated and convoluted for me, but the way this story was written made it easier for me to read through without feeling like I was drowning in information. I was able to read this book without having read the series that originally introduced the characters, but now I kind of want to go back and read Chole and Quintus’s back story for more information. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series and see where the author takes the story from here!

Moody – Review by Amanda Gonzalez
After the world Dahlia lived in came crashing in around her, things in the Sentinel have changed drastically. With the threat of not only the apocalypse looming over her, a large portion of her team missing, the issue with the exits and blight, and the constant changes in the city she loves, Dahlia’s focus is split into too many directions. She must fight to save the innocents in the city and find a way to fix the apocalypse – if she can. I’ve been following this series for what feels like forever, and only yesterday. From day one when we were introduced to the heroine and brought into the incredible life she leads as a supernatural vigilante until now. It’s been a marvelous adventure, full of terror, mystery, hilarious moments, and true emotion. There’s nothing worse than an unsatisfying ending to an amazing story, in my opinion, and Exit Strategy was the perfect final book to end the series on. If you’ve been following this series, you need to read this last book!
When epidemiologist Joanie Fisher’s life is thrown into a rather terrifying knot of confusion, the last thing she expects is to come into an inheritance from her recently deceased grandfather. What’s even more unexpected is the streak of missing children that, oddly enough, is happening in the same town in which her grandfather just mysteriously died in. To make matters even worse, it seems what’s happening in the town may just be tied to research she had been doing before her lab burned down. When too many coincidences begin making more sense, Joanie must come to terms with a surprising truth… I enjoyed the more medical-based perspective on lycanthropy that showed in this book and found the premise of this series intriguing.

Free-spirited Melodie meets your typical office-square Isaac on the streets of London, and what was supposed to be a joyous occasion for Isaac soon turns sour. With Melodie’s helping hand, they attempt to ‘fix’ the situation, but things may not end the way they had originally planned… I really enjoy reading something so lighthearted and warming after a long day, this box set totally hit the spot! A sweet romantic comedy that had just the right pace when it comes to the actual romance portion. This was an absolute joy to read with well-written characters and an interesting landscape.

With a name like Evil Sushi, I wasn’t sure exactly what I was getting myself into when I started reading this book, but I was wonderfully surprised to discover this thrilling tale was just what the title suggested: something terrifying yet playful. When reading this book, I discovered that this book touches on a lot of different things that I was thinking about over the last few years. I’m sure we’ve all thought about the effect our choice in diet has on the environment, even in passing, and that’s why this tale gave me chills. The classic horror nowadays centers around the impossible: zombies. But what if that terror came from the sea? What if our future looked just a little more like the apocalypse with sea life? Just a little on the joking side, but wonderfully serious at the same time, this book will have you gripping the edge of your seat and expectantly waiting for the next in the series!

Dahlia’s world is turned on its head, but she’s still fighting for what’s right. Despite her whole life getting flipped from the last book, Dahlia has managed to struggle to remain in the place she loves, trying to help stave off the impending apocalypse. The blight is coming, and with it, more problems and mysteries than Dahlia can handle alone. No worries, as usual, her trusty sidekick is there to help her along, and so are her three lovers. With this lovely team of faithful allies, can Dahlia continue her mission of saving the human world and the others that aren’t yet destroyed by the blight? And what of the mystery of the Chandler murders? The tensions between Dahlia and her past? The issues with her mentor? One thing is certain: everything is connected. From the ending of the last book, I’ve been riveted to the edge of my seat, waiting impatiently for this story to come out so I could devour it. And just like with the last three books in the series, all promises of adventure, intrigue, and incredible fantasy were sated…mostly. Now I’m back to waiting, excitedly and impatiently, for the final book – but I’ll happily wait the next year if I must for the ending. I couldn’t have asked for a better series where every moment and detail blooms so brilliantly in my mind, and I can barely restrain the rollercoaster of emotions this series has pulled from me.

Schneider – Review by Amanda Gonzalez
As a lover of all things paranormal and spooky, I was excited to read this book, even if I’m not the biggest fan of YA. This book was great! I love how Abbey is so independent and strong as a character, despite her young age. I’m sure I’m not the only person who has an aversion to clowns, but the story wove in the creepiness of the ‘spooks’ in a way that I was able to read through the book without having nightmares. As much as I love horror, clowns are a little too much for me, but this story had just enough of the shudder-factor in to make it YA-safe. The musical references and typical teen-drama had me captivated along with the paranormal aspect of the book and held my attention all the way through. If you like mystery, intrigue, and even a little taste of the paranormal, you’ll love this book!
Two short stories bundled into one volume; these are prequels to the Logan McKenna Mystery Series. The story of Bella, a beautifully crafted violin that becomes something of a family heirloom, is mainly told through the voices of Norah and Giovanni. We get to hear all about the bright and sad moments that led Norah and her family through a time when living a simple life meant struggling and persevering through whatever life threw your way. Woven through Norah’s story, we also learn about Giovanni, an Italian immigrant who would eventually come into Norah’s life and create Bella. Though the story of Bella was short, I felt like the magic of the Appalachians came through both narratives and breathed life into the tale. It was a beautifully written novella that had me smiling – if a little sadly – by the end. Jagged Dawn introduces Logan McKenna and sets the tone for what promises to be an intriguing mystery.

This was such a great read! I’ve never read anything from this author, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but had high hopes because of the synopsis. I was not disappointed! Lock is hilarious, from his perspective and mental voice to how he deals with his new reality, I loved him. The magic in the book is so wonderfully introduced and fantastical that, for a little while, I was utterly speechless. This story took me on an unexpected kind of adventure that kept me transfixed and allowed my imagination to run wild. I loved the pace of everything, though the book was short, it felt just right.
I loved the detail in this book! From the first few words, the author had my attention and imagination in an almost poetic world. I normally keep away from YA, mostly because the detail fails to hold my attention, but this story proved to be food for my mind and kept me enraptured! What starts out as an adventure to the court soon turns to a complete one-eighty of what Adrijana once considered her life. Fantasy and mystery at its finest, set in a complex world where I feel just about anything is possible, if you’re still on the fence about reading this book, trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
This was a rather refreshing love story that focused more on the characters and their lives than just moments of romance with tidbits about things going on in their lives. I loved how easy it was to imagine the story, and the flow, even though it was told from two point of views, was perfect. Though it was pretty short, I feel like the lives of Emily and Dr. D were showcased well, and not a second thought as I’ve seen with other stories of a similar length. It was adorable, really, to read some of the chapters and thoughts from both sides. I think I may have laughed out loud a few times, definitely was caught grinning like a madwoman at my screen more times than I can count. Reading this short story has made me curious about the rest of the books written by this author and I will be checking them out.

A. King – Review by Amanda Gonzalez
A spider-shifter for a main character makes for an incredible new world of possibilities. I’ve never read anything with a Webmaker before and found this to be a more magical and interesting story because of it. I felt like I was reading the wild-west equivalent of urban fantasy and wasn’t sure what to expect, but thoroughly enjoyed reading more about this world. The story had a great and natural flow to it that got me to read it faster than I would have with a book of a similar length. The author created an amazing tale with a strong, female lead, enthralling plot, and intriguing side characters!

Amy isn’t normal, a quality she believes is inherited from her absentee-biological-father. This wouldn’t be a bad thing, if being considered ‘magical’ wasn’t a bad thing, and the risk of exposure was small… But after a prions break, thought to be the work of a magical militia, Amy realizes she needs answers as her abilities begin to unexpectedly manifest. I liked how the story was written from two perspectives, Amy and Bobby, because of how well-defined their characters were. This dystopian world drew me in from the start, thanks to the vivid descriptions and complex characters, and held my attention throughout.
