This story is about a witch who gets revenge on a selfish man. It had a very fairytale vibe to it. The thing that I liked the most about the book is that the main character was a villain. Unfortunately, the characters were flat. Had they had more depth maybe I would have enjoyed it more. I found the story slow and quite repetitive. The witch constantly said how bad she was and how dark her soul was. The narrative felt like it was someone reading a story to a child.

This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Brandon. She is an excellent writer. Her attention to detail is amazing. I was completely immersed in her world and felt what Sara was going through. This is a dark., hypnotizing romance. It is not for the feint of heart or anyone who is too sensitive. The story is filled with lust, possession and carnal pleasure. Evil lurks within these pages but will you be tempted when offered your heart’s deepest desires? Is it taboo when everything is consensual? The heat was burning up the pages as I read. If you are looking for something to spice up your night then I definitely recommend reading this book.

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (The Crown of Stones Novella Series Book 1) by C.L Schneider
4 Stars

After Ian Troy sacrificed everything for peace, he decided to leave Mirra’ kelan with his one friend Jarryd Kane. They became explorers of the high seas, travelling wherever the wind blew. Deciding to explore the old routes of his ancestors, he tried to find the Wandering Isles. Unfortunately, some things shouldn’t be found. They were forced into a trade that pushed the boundaries of their sanity.

This is a complex story that plays on the darker side. It is about two people who have lived through hell and having to face their nightmares to overcome their fears. Sometimes it is the “what if’s” that are worse. What can come out of the recesses of your mind are sometimes worse than reality. The story is well written though I did find it somewhat redundant the constant switch between nightmare and reality. There is a twist near the end which can lead into many more wonderful stories in this series.

Lost Doesn’t have faith in himself and now finds that he’s the president of the club. He’s never sure if he’s making the right decisions. Patsy walks into his life needing protection and he falls head over heels. Patsy needs to stay under the radar with her son but she’s been found. She can’t run anymore but she needs help. She finds that and more with Lost. If she can stay alive maybe they’ll have a future.

This is another winning book by Mandi Mellett. I’ve read her Colorado chapters and they were amazing. This is a fantastic start to her San Diego series. The thing that I loved about this book is the fact that Lost and Patsy are middle aged. Most romance books center around young virile men and women. Life doesn’t stop because you turn fifty. This book shows that life and love go on after your children are fully grown.

Curse of Seduction (Dark Princes of Purgatory Book 1) by CR Robertson
4 Stars

The Blood Queen wants to rule Purgatory and to do so she cursed the princes to claim their magic. Every curse can be broken but at a great cost. Ilana thought she was half vampire/half human but when she bumped into Ezekiel, Crown Prince of the Incubi, her magic awakened. She has been fantasizing about him for decades and now that she meets him, she’s tongue tied. Being an incubus, Ezekiel has had countless women yet there is something about Ilana that draws him in. The pull is irresistible and he can’t stay away. Unfortunately with his curse, he can’t be with her either. Every time he feeds, the curse takes a vital part of his lover. To be with Ilana will be her death.

This story pulled me in from the start and I couldn’t stop reading. The chemistry was off the charts between Ilana and Ezekiel but it was more than that. You could feel the love flowing off the pages. I was enthralled with their world and didn’t want to leave. This is a great start to an awesome series. I can’t wait to read book two.

4 Stars

Aaron and Branson are identical twins who survived a rough childhood. In their teens, Trevor (the voice in Branson’s head) emerged and wrecked havoc in their lives. Now as adults in their last year of college, it seems it is happening to Aaron. Aaron is struggling with pressures from school, work and volunteer time. With the realization that he might lose his mother to cancer, David (the voice in his head) has taken the reins. After everything that has happened with Trevor, can the twins survive David?

I remember reading book one and it blew me away so I knew that this one would be excellent as well. Both twins have schizoaffective disorder. Each book is written from a different perspective of the illness. In this story Aaron believes that he has everything under control therefore he doesn’t need help. After seeing what Branson went through with the psychiatrists and the hospital, Aaron definitely doesn’t want a repeat of that for himself.

This is an intense read that shows the ripple effect that this illness has on family and friends. The ending just about broke my heart. My only issue with this book is the constantly changing p.o.v’s. Many times I had to reread passages to figure out who was talking. Aside from that, I loved the book.

4 Stars

What happens when you find out that your nightmares are actually real? This becomes true for Izara and Kain when they are sent to a boarding school in the middle of Oklahoma. The twins soon realize that the school is keeping a deadly secret, it is not everything that it claims to be. Powers emerge that they didn’t know they possessed. They need to unravel the mysteries of the school if they want to stay alive and time is running out.

This is a debut novel for this author and I think it’s a good start. There is some fine tuning that needs to be done but I think that she is an author to look out for in the future. I found the story to be unique and intriguing. The author never really explains exactly what the twins are and this is one of the things that kept me interested. I liked the characters a lot though I think there needs to be a little more character development in book two. I believe this will be an interesting trilogy and I’m looking forward to reading part two.

Finn O’Malley is one of the oldest living vampires. Nothing much interests him anymore except Violet Shaughnessy. She is a powerful witch and he knows that he must stay away from her. He decides to head back to Ireland to end his long life. Through their bond, she cries out for help and unable to resist, he stays. She’s been taken and being tortured, he can feel it. How can he save her when he doesn’t know where she is? Sometimes no matter how different people are or if there are a million reasons why it shouldn’t work, fate makes you stronger together. To fight this battle, they need to be on the same page to overcome evil.

This is another winning story to add to the Sanctuary Chronicles. Filled with magic, danger and suspense, it will keep you glued to your seat. Meeting both these characters in the previous books, I was happy to read their story. I loved the way their relationship progressed. The way Finn handles Violet took my breath away. I love him! This is definitely a must read.

You would think after saving the world, you would get a break. Unfortunately that’s not the case for Ezri Trenton. She’s taken her seat on the Council and is trying to find balance between her personal life and being a detective. Some girls start disappearing in the vicinity and when one of them turns out to be her partner’s niece, Ezri jumps on the case. Turns out they are part of the magical community as well and this leads Ezri to the dark underbelly of the city. Heading into dangerous situations again, she learns that the Order of Samael is not finished with her. Can she survive round two?

A story filled with action and magic, it also had the added mystery of trying to figure out who took the girls. Another book to keep you on the edge of your seat. With wonderful characters and an amazing storyline, this is definitely a must read.

Another steamy story to add to a fabulous series. Although I found it wasn’t as spicy as some of the others, it still had enough heat to get you hot and bothered. Makenna and Ty decide to have their bachelor and bachelorette parties at Spicetopia. A chance meeting at the newly opened casino has them teaming up for a scavenger hunt. Interesting things happen on this hunt but fate wouldn’t leave things to chance, dares or dice.

Although the books in this series can be read as stand alones, I highly suggest reading them all. Ms. Alexander will not disappoint you, this series is amazing. I think this book may be my favourite one yet!

Alice has powerful magic. Since the age of six she was forced to do some unthinkable things to make her grandfather powerful and feared. Her only way to escape was to fake her own death. Taking on a new identity, she now works as a private investigator. She takes on a case that she believes is simple but turns out to be much more complicated and she almost dies. Though she trusts no one, she realizes that she needs help and recruits a ghost, werewolf and a vampire. With such a mish mash of supernaturals, things get quite interesting.

I loved this book! Alice is a force to be reckoned with yet she is insecure and closed off for the most part. Opening up is hard for her considering her past. I adored the characters and the dynamics between each of them. The world building and premise of the story will keep you riveted to your seat unable to put the book down. This is going to be an awesome series.

Louvette has lived almost all over the southern US states. It seems her and her mother were always running. It didn’t help that she was always kicked out of school for fighting. After her recent expulsion, her mother was at her wits end. A knock on their door would change the course of her life. Louvette had never met her father yet she inherited everything when her grandfather passed away. Her mother wasn’t happy but without any other options, signed the papers. Louvette thought of it as a new opportunity to start somewhere new. The little town in Montana was quaint but had its secrets. Louvette quickly realized that she was different and that danger lurked around every corner.

This was an amazing debut novel and a great start to what I believe will be a fantastic series. Between these pages you will find action, danger and romance. The story will keep you glued from beginning to end. The characters are likeable and relatable. I can’t wait to read part two.

Orla Karlson is a reporter who sets out to uncover who will be dealing a new drug in Chicago. With disastrous side effects, Phantom can do serious damage. Orla has to find a way to stop it. As her pet project she’s trying to uncover the identity of a vigilante who metes out his own justice. Realizing that they have a common goal, to stop Phantom, they decide to collaborate. The chemistry between the two is electrifying but with danger lurking around every corner, can these two connect?

I loved that Orla was a strong, no nonsense female lead. The vigilante, though on the wrong side of the law, had his own set of morals. The story is filled with danger, action and romance, what more could you ask for? I found it was a little slow at the beginning but once it picked up, boy was it a page turner! I’ve read a few of this authors’ books before and this was just as good as the others.

This is the first book that I have read from this author. Although it’s the second in the series, I wasn’t lost at all. This story is mainly about Vivienne and Aiden. It seems mistakes were made in the first part and it’s up to Vi and Aiden to try to right the wrongs of the past. A curse has fallen upon the coven. All of magic is in jeopardy in Willow Creek. The winds are changing and a darkness is coming. They need to unlock the secrets of their own magic for the upcoming battle. Are they destined to be together or will the evil keep them apart?

The story is filled with danger, magic and romance. I was so engrossed in the story, I didn’t realize how fast I read it. The author pulls you into an enchanting world that will keep you on your toes. I loved the characters and the story. I will definitely be looking for part three.

Hansel and Gretal (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology
4 Stars

I’ve always loved fairytales. The authors in this anthology definitely wrote their own version of this classic. There is a bit of everything in these stories so they should satisfy most readers. I prefer stories that have a twist with some horror therefore these were my favourites.

The Surface by CeeCee Elaine

This leans towards a dystopian vibe. Most of mankind has died off because of an airborne virus. Two people escape an underground bunker and return to the surface. The story has a crazy twist at the end that you never see coming.

The Reaper Within by Jess Bagnall

A boy who has been shunned his entire life by the village grows up to be a hunter. He hunts the monsters in the forest helping the doctor with his experiments. With a twist you don’t expect, it’s definitely not a happy fairytale but it will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Shadows that Move by Lorah Jaiyn

Witches and curses abound in this story. What do you do when no one believes you? When you’re terrorized but end up being blamed. If the truth doesn’t flow with everyone’s beliefs, does it pass as mental illness? Read the story and decide what you believe.

This is the first book that I have read in this series unfortunately. It’s really good and I will definitely go back and start at the beginning. It can be read as a stand-alone. There are parts that allude to events in prior books but nothing that will confuse you. This story is about Brittany and Brook.

A year prior they had a one night stand both agreeing that there would be no second time. Where matters of love are concerned, the heart doesn’t care. After Izzy and Dawson’s wedding, they hooked up again. The passion between them skyrocketed and the chemistry flew off the charts. Each has a hard time admitting their feelings and misunderstandings arise. Can they overcome their problems and have a happily ever after?

The writing is good and the story is interesting. I really loved Brittany and Brooks and was rooting for them from the start. Turn Up the Tempo is a very sexy story that will get your blood pumping.

By Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk
4 Stars

I’ve always loved paranormal academy stories. This one is about angels and demons. Zuri is the daughter of a fallen angel and when a powerful relic is stolen, she goes in search of it. It leads her to Celestial Academy, a school for the children of angels. Forming an uneasy alliance with Miryam ( the daughter of Archangel Michael), they search for the culprit before the Apocalypse is unleashed. Will this tentative bond ease the bad blood between the Fallen and the Archangels?

I loved the characters in this novel. Each one was unique and likeable. Zuri is a strong lead who is smart and fearless. Miryam, being her opposite, needs to have faith in herself and learn where her strengths lie. I think they made a very good team. The secondary characters added an interesting aspect to the story as well. This is a good start to what I think will be an awesome series. Looking forward to seeing what their next adventure will be.

I have read her other Satan Devils books and loved them. Although I didn’t read the first book in the Second Generation, it didn’t matter. Each one can be read as a stand-alone. This book had my emotions all over the place. My heart went out to Hawk and Olivia. Hawk is going through something and instead of talking to someone, especially his wife, he makes some drastic decisions which not only affect him but also other people as well. Their lives are turned upside down. Be careful what you wish for. Hawk wished and he got what he wanted, only to realize that it’s not as he thought it would be. Hitting rock bottom showed him that he’s not alone. The author did an excellent job in showing what people with Hawk’s condition go through. This book will pull you in and keep you riveted until the very end.

I discovered a new author and she is amazing. I started reading this book and I wasn’t sure about Crystal, she seemed a bit shallow. All she cared about was having a fling while on vacation. For her this was very important due to extenuating circumstances. Elaine Marie has a way of making you fall in love with her characters. She drew me in and played with my emotions. Several times I found myself shedding tears over Crystal’s situation. This is an enchanting story and shows how far someone will go for the one that they love. Love has no limits.

4 Stars

This is the third book in the Nocturnes series and although it can be read as a stand-alone, I suggest that you read the others as well. This series is amazing and you’ll enjoy them all.

This book is about the worst witch ever, Crimson Oliver. She’s not a bad witch, she’s just bad at being a witch. Most of her spells backfire and things mostly go wrong. She’s in trouble with the coven again wishes with all her might that her powers would stop failing her. She accidentally makes a deal with the devil and now needs to find a way to save her soul.

Mike is a devil’s advocate. He fell for Crimson the first time that he saw her. Unfortunately his devil side emerged and he made a deal with her. Now he needs to find a solution because he refuses to give Crimson to the devil.

This book is fast paced and easy to read. Once again Ms. Pulkinen has created characters that you’ll love. Though making a deal with the devil is serious business, the author manages to lighten the situation with humour and lots of love. This series keeps getting better and better and I’m hoping there will be other books that follow.

This is an amazing series filled with love and romance that will pull at your heartstrings. Each book has characters that you will fall in love with. The author has a way of pulling you into her world and playing with your emotions. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but they are so good that I suggest that you read them all.

Georgia Clay: Clay Watkins is a true southern gentleman with a heart of gold that will take your breath away. Katie Parker was his high school crush. After bumping into each other at a reunion, feelings are reignited. Long distance relationships hardly ever work and each have demanding careers. Can they overcome their issues and have a happily ever after?

Georgia on my Mind: The story centres around Katie’s brother Hart. He was a real estate broker who got caught quite literally with his pants down. He meets Gia while she doing a Marilyn Monroe impersonation. Can they overcome the secrets of their past and learn to dance together?

Georgia Pine: Definitely my favourite of the three. Jessica never thought she would be divorced and raising her four daughters on her own. While having a meltdown, a white knight waltzed in to save her in the form of her gardener. Tim is hiding under his mane and beard, he even changed his name. Falling in love with Jessica was not part of his plan. Will she still love him after she finds out about his past?

Trace is second in command of his pack and is sure Sophie is behind the disappearance of one of his pack mates. He’s already gotten involved with the enemy before with horrible results but can he resist the charms of this beautiful witch?

This series just keeps getting better with every book. Shift Happens is a lighthearted romantic comedy filled with lovable characters. Sophie is feisty and awkward and Trace is hot as sin. Between the humour and the romance, this book with pull you in from the start and you’ll never want it to end.

This series takes place in Rehoboth Beach. Each book can be read as a stand-alone. There are recurring characters throughout the series. Each book is a romantic comedy. The best thing about these books are that the characters are regular people. Some are overweight, divorced, are dealing with handicapped children and have crazy families. The characters are likeable and readers can relate to them.

Badge Bunny: The story centres around Sonnet and Drew’s wedding but is about Chris and Brynne. So much craziness happens from sharks to crazy parents, bites to baseball bats. I was crying from laughing so hard. This is definitely my favourite book.

Wedding War: A family feud has been going on for the past twenty years. Jason and Hannah try to unite against a common enemy. Espionage and hilarious events ensue but can the families put aside their differences for these two lovebirds?

Stage Mom: Larissa’s daughter has Down syndrome and decides that she wants to be in the little girls pageant. Mateo’s family has run the pageant for the last forty years and is a stickler for tradition. When he decides to make some changes, the whole town is in an uproar. With lighthearted comedy and romance, the author tackles discrimination and racism in this book. The story is definitely a winner.

Endless Night (Dylan Hart Book 2) by R.M Gilmore
4 Stars

Vampires, Voodoo and extreme drunkenness; just another weekend in New Orleans. Tatum convinces Dylan to go to New Orleans to keep her company during some vampire convention. Dylan figures it’s the perfect opportunity to do more research for her book. Dylan is unwittingly sucked deeper into the world of vampires and in perfect Dylan style accumulates more enemies. What should have been a party filled weekend getting drunk ends up by being a weekend where she’s fighting for her life.

I really enjoyed this book. I was hoping Tatum would redeem herself in this book but unfortunately I still can’t stand her. I loved the fact that we saw more of Cyrus. I know Dylan doesn’t trust him but I like him. Sometimes Dylan is too stubborn and stupid for her own good. She gets into a lot of trouble which adds excitement and danger to this novel. All her beliefs are crumbling and the story ends on a cliffhanger. Now I’m left hanging until the next book.

This series is all about sweet romance. I was silly and read the other books before this. It was nice to be able to go back and see the beginning of Claire and Jack. Jack is a music teacher who had always dreamed of being a rock star. Claire pushes him to join a singing contest which he wins and ends up heading to the Nationals. Some chaotic craziness happens which puts their relationship in danger.

The thing I like best is that the characters are relatable. They are real people with real problems and real insecurities. Claire is not a skinny girl and deals with her self confidence about her size. Jack is not some muscle man that looks like a greek god. He’s a regular single dad with a crazy ex wife. They are charismatic and readers can easily connect and understand them. The story is refreshingly funny especially with Claire’s inner dialogue. It’s an easy read that I definitely recommend.
