My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unabridged is a fast-paced romantic comedy with a little bit of mystery thrown in. After Angelina leaves with no explanation, the main characters get a second chance at love and take it. It’s a good quick read that leaves you with the happy-ever after feeling.

I read this book with my youngest son who has autism. He said it was good and he had no idea that so many tricks could be done with water. This book is making him want to try the experiments, so he can trick his older siblings.

Lost Soul (War of Destiny # 1)Lost Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a dark paranormal fantasy. I first chose this book due to the genre. I had to push past the first bit after the marriage, as it brought back some bad memories… I understand exactly where Julia is coming from. The characters are well built and the end left you wanting more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a sweet story. I really connected with Franceen, having gone through what she went through and fighting for “normal”…I like how both Franceen and Scott let the attraction build. This book makes a very sweet, moving afternoon read.

Lingering Spirits (Soul Connection Book 4) by Nikki Lynn Barrett – Review by Angela Plate

Lingering Spirits (Soul Connection, #4)Lingering Spirits by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was an interesting read. I typically don’t like more than one perspective or narration, but this author pulled it off. It does reflect a lot on past books, which I haven’t read yet but have so I can, so I definitely think it should be read in order as the series progresses. I like the characters. I also like that even though it’s a paranormal romance, it’s heavier on the paranormal and the romance is there and beautiful but not unrealistically over the top…

The Clockwork Solution (The Clockwork Chronicles Book 2) by Michelle D. Sonnier – Review by Angela Plate

The Clockwork Solution (The Clockwork Chronicles Book 2)The Clockwork Solution by Michelle D. Sonnier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. It’s the second book in the series, so I’m going to have to go read the first one. The only negative I had was some of the details weren’t as detailed or recapped. Since I haven’t read the first book yet, I don’t know if the details I was looking for are in that one or not. The author definitely had me hooked and the cliffhanger that ends the book is probably one of the best I’ve read in a long while. I’m looking forward to the rest of this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was my first mafia book. It has a lot of violence in it, which isn’t really my thing. With that being said, I stayed interested til the very end and will go on to read the others in this series.

Swipe Right to Bite (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 6) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Angela Plate, January 2022

Swipe Right to Bite (New Orleans Nocturnes, #6)Swipe Right to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t think I’ve read a book like this one in a long time. Most romance novels seem to base the relationships around sex. This one allowed the characters to experience the emotional aspects of their relationship first. It was fun to see Katrina evolve from a demon who “is evil” into a denom who showed emotion.
