To be a Fae LegendTo be a Fae Legend by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve started and restarted this review so many times. This has easily become one of my favorite series. Titania is such an amazing character. After the death of her brothers and her fathers health declining she had to take the throne of her kingdom. She quickly had to grow up and adapt to the life of doing what’s best for Aubren even if it’s not the hats best for her. She discover she has powers that she cannot tell anyone about. She must protect the Fae from threats that could destroy everything.

This particular story focuses on Titania picking a suitor, meanwhile protecting Aubren from a series of attacks that her mother predicted. These attacks are linked to upper earth and she must help them in order to help her people.

This story was such a page turner and I was completely shocked with the ending. Titania is easily one of the most impressive characters I’ve ever read about. The sacrifices she makes for her people, the growth, and the intellect she uses is outstanding. I also love her cousins. They are super supportive. I hope we get more about them. I also hope Titania is able to reconnect with those she cares about, and maybe one day her mother will come out of her state.

Please if you haven’t read this series go to book one and start there. You won’t be disappointed.

I enjoyed this book so much and cannot wait to see where the series takes Naomi and Ella!

A Spot of Earl Slay takes us on a ride where Naomi and Ella are making a new start in a small town. Upon their arrival they discover a dead body. Needing somewhere to warm up while the police finish their investigation, they meet their neighbors Barbara and Ingrid. They become fast friends and together they try to solve the murder case. This story is quirky and fun. There are relatable topics and the story keeps you sucked in. I can’t wait for the next installment.

I’ll Love You Tomorrow (Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book 3) by Julie Navickas – Review by Amber Howard

I'll Love You Tomorrow (The Trading Heartbeats Trilogy, Book #3)I’ll Love You Tomorrow by Julie Navickas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ll love you tomorrow was the last book in the Templeton siblings series. I read it in one sitting like the others in this trilogy. I think I liked this one the least out of the 3, but it was still very good. It was also the most realistic to me.

My heart broke for Lauren throughout the book. But my heart also broke for Mitch. The couple seemed to have drifted apart. They weren’t in sync anymore and it did a number on their relationship. Honestly I didn’t think they were going to be able to pull it together. Seemed like every time they took a step closer they took 3 steps back. But in the end the couple did what was best for everyone.
I also loved seeing Austin so happy. Overall it was a great ending to a great trilogy.

Noah's Not So Super SummerNoah’s Not So Super Summer by Brittany Tucker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

enjoyed Noah’s Not Super Summer immensely. The author writes in a way that you get sucked in immediately. I started the book a few hours ago and kept telling myself just one more chapter. Next thing I knew I was finished.

Noah is a 12 year old kid whose life is anything but super. He gets bullied by the jocks. His dad has a low paying job and they live pretty poor. Plus a pandemic caused people and animals to develop super powers. His dads job is to help collect evidence from the scenes and being them back to the research lab. After being present for an attack by a mutant, Noah’s life turns around. As he searches for the truth to it all he makes new friends and discoveries that lands him on the radar of some bad people.

This book is great for tweens, teens, young adults and anyone looking for an adventure. Please give it a try and check out Brittany’s other novel. It’s really good.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*Sigh* This is a bittersweet moment. Sweet because I thoroughly enjoyed this installment. Bitter because it’s the last one. This final installment blew my mind away. Ian Troy and his friends must face fate to save everyone. But in doing so will Ian finally turn into the beast he’s fought so hard against? Will he succumb to magic and turn out just like his father? It was captivating and page turning. At times intense. I haven’t enjoyed such a good book in a very long time. It’s definitely worth a read.

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So the first book I read in this series was actually book number 2. I knew I had to go back and read the first one. I’m glad I did. Although I found book to enjoyable the information in book 1 helped me make sense of a few things.

This series is a page turner. The creative world the author has created is by far one of the best I’ve encountered. I enjoy fantasy books (one of my favorite genres to read), this exceeded my expectations. I feel like I’m completely submerged in their world as I’m reading. The magic used in the story is a different flavor than I’m used to but it made it more interesting. There is never a full moment when n this story. Each character is unique and adds to the story. Even the ones you despise. Please give this series a chance. You won’t regret it!

Shadow Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 1)Shadow Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shadow wolf was exactly what I would expect from a supernatural story. You get shapeshifters, vampires, and a human at the center of it all. Plus a bit of romance. There’s an air of mystery with this story and at the end you definitely have a lot more questions. Which is great because I prefer reading series. This is the first book I’ve come across by this author and I’m excited to read others.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eeek! I absolutely loved this story. When I think of a romance novel this is exactly the type of story I’m looking for. The “bad” guy that has more to him, the small town, Christmas themes, drama, and some steam. This book ticked all the boxes and then some. Throw in a loyal loving family, guy gets the girl, and I’m sold. Easily a new favorite and I cannot wait to part two.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Okay so part two was even better than part one! It has all the same themes and points that I like but with the black sheep of the family. The middle child with anger issues. Ugh I loved Walt finding love and cannot wait for the other siblings to find theirs. I hope we get to see Teds and Robyn’s wedding soon. Maybe James and Sam will figure out their issues and another proposal can be on the horizon. I’m also hoping Roy may find new love. I know it would be a lot for the kids to take in. Especially Ted. But I think Roy deserves more love and happiness too. Hint hint….😅.I cannot wait for book 3!

A Dress To Remember: A Fairy TaleA Dress To Remember: A Fairy Tale by K.L. Small
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a very good story. Princess Zarina is the youngest of the royal family. She is deemed the most beautiful of the children. Unfortunately it leaves her out of touch with the world. She’s selfish and materialistic. After the dressmaker makes her a special dress, she is tested in ways she never was before. She learns valuable life lessons along the way. I think it’s relatively easy to read. It moves at a decent pace and is ok for kids about 10 years old and up.

Creatures of the NightCreatures of the Night by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It is not my first book by this author nor will it be my last. C.A. King is definitely becoming a favorite.

Things I loved most:
-Strong female lead
-supernatural
-relatable elements ( dating the wrong guy, being different, betrayal)
-easy to read and follow along
-Simone
-the tree
-how much Zoe is coming into her powers

Things I disliked:
-the book ending

Things I would change:
-at times it felt like the story jumped a bit kind of read like how a tv show would take place. It didn’t take away from the story but it had me question if I skipped a page

Anyways I need a sequel. I have to know what happens next. Will they fight the humans or vampires first? Can they reproduce and will the offspring be even more powerful? Will we get a glimpse into what really happened with the black mist?

All moms could relate to this one! There isn’t anything we wouldn’t do to protect our little ones. I was immediately hooked. All the books in the series hit me on some emotional level but this one took the cake. Relationships are challenged. Theirs more at stake. I think I really enjoy the time line and how much time has passed since the outbreak. We’ve been able to really dive into every aspect of survival.

Especially living through Covid. How easily it can happen. The author did an amazing job with the characters and scenery.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

True Colors was entertaining. I found myself finished with the book before I even realized it. I believe it touched upon a lot of topics that teens throughout history had to endure. Trials of friendships, self esteem issues, bullying, gossiping, trying to find your footing while in high school, and let’s not forget boys. I think young teens would enjoy this series and is age appropriate material.

Chasing Redemption (Quimby Grove #2)Chasing Redemption by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chasing Redemption is the second installment in the Quimby Grove series and it did not disappoint. It was full of steam, drama, romance, a bit of mystery, and thrills. What started out as a one night stand turned into the family that neither Marley nor Max new they needed. It’s a story about finding your soul mate in unexpected places, a story of reuniting and well redemption. It’ll make you smile, and if you’re a softy like me tear up. It’ll have you appreciating the wonderful people in your life. I highly recommend this series to everyone. While it is a series this story can be read alone and you’d still be able to follow everything. I cannot wait for the next one!

What drew me into this book was the mention of the killer gene and how it may be passed on genetically. I wanted to read and see how it played out. This book is a page turner. I needed to know every next move and thought. This is the first book in a long time that I didn’t like a character from start to finish. A main character at that. I despise Troy lol. As far as the ending of the book goes, it was unexpected but fitting.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to expecting Whispers In the Water to be like but far exceeded them. Although this story is about fae it’s more of a mystery like Nancy Drew. There are family secrets that may harm Jessa and her family, otherworldly creatures that may or may not be a myth, all the while protecting a stranger. Definitely a good read.

The Hawke Family Complete CollectionThe Hawke Family Complete Collection by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First off wow! This series is such a page turner I cannot rave about it enough. Gwyn has become a new favorite author. Each book in the series focuses on different people. So you get a different point of view with each one. There is plenty of steam, excitement, romance and drama to keep you reading. I highly recommend this series.

Savage collision features Savage Hawke and Danika Eriksson. The good girl and the bad boy. Their chemistry is on fire from their first encounter.

Tortured Skye features Skye Hawke and Gabe Anderson all I will say is the phrase “forbidden love”

********
Stone Sober features Stone Hawke and Nora Eriksson although Nora works at the club, she’s still has such an innocent take on the world.

Building Storm is my favorite installment. This one features Storm Hawke and Landon McCabe. It’s full of grief, healing, romance, steam, and the unexpected.

*******

Tainted Saint is interesting because it’s the first story where a Hawke isn’t the center of it. Instead we focus on Solomon Clarke aka Saint a bouncer that works at the Hawkeye Club, and Caroline Brooks. This one is probably my second favorite!

Steele Resolve is the last installment in this series. It features Luca “Steele” Abello and Byron Harris. They shouldn’t be together but they cannot help themselves. If the others find out about it it can cost them their lives and hurt their loved ones.

A Dowry of Snails and MudA Dowry of Snails and Mud by Brittany Tucker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Dowry of Snails and Mud was such a delightful read. Two completely opposite people are forced to marry a stranger for the sake of their families. One from a small poor community, and the other is the Kings youngest son. Can these two put aside their differences for the sake of their people or will everything fall apart? Brittany Tucker did an amazing job with the depth of these characters. Both had lessons to learn and both found strength when everything seemed lost. Both have a way with people and their differences kind of balance each other out. I look forward to reading more by this author. If you’re on the fence about the book, definitely give it a try.

It does focus on polyamory and friendship. Love comes in all forms and this book shows that no matter what form your love takes we all deal with similar situations and that love is beautiful. Definitely a good read.

Wow. Talk about a page turner! From the first sentence I was hooked . Hanging Softly in the Night was one of the most intense murder mysteries that I’ve read in a while. It keeps your interest throughout the book. Nick is a complex character. Dealing with his case, his love life and the guilt he felt regarding his ex-wife’s suicide brought so much realness to the character. The author did a fantastic job playing on the audiences emotions. Highly recommend!

Aww this book was sweet. Married couples sometimes drift apart. It was great seeing Max and Ginny reconnecting again. I think as humans we often fear missing out and we let the “what ifs” take over. However, the grass isn’t always greener. Sometimes what we need isn’t what we want. Ginny learned that lesson the hard way. Luckily Max never gave up on her. Perfect Christmas romance story.

This is actually the second novel I’ve read by this author and she’s easily becoming a favorite.
