Sure As Hell (Life is Hell #4)Sure As Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Sure As Hell (Life Is Hell Book 4) by Naomi Valkyrie, 5 stars.

What I love about this series is how different it is and that it’s not afraid to explore different relationships than just male/female. Not only that but weave these relationships into a paranormal romance series that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

This book centers around Lark and Jaru. I have to say, I didn’t see this coming. They are so much more complex than I ever imagined, and intriguing too. There is no such thing as bit characters in this world. Eventually we will learn what makes them tick. The action and the growing feelings towards these to made me unable to put the book down. Dark and possibly disturbing to some at times, it really is unlike any series I have read before. Even though this is book 4, it is fresh and original while keeping to the integrity of this world. The author is a superb storyteller and I would love to see many more books to come!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A remarkably interesting and captivating read. The characters come alive through Naomi’s masterfully crafted writing. To be honest, my typical read and it took me out of my comfort zone, however, it was quite a literary adventure. I would recommend this one to anyone willing to embark on a uniquely erotic paranormal adventure.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Intricately woven and creatively written novels. I enjoyed these novels immensely- I appreciated that each novel depicted various aspects of Luca and Lexi’s relationship. Love is patient, which is a predominant theme throughout this series. Luca’s love, patience and devotion to Lexi enabled her to be receptive to intimacy not only on a physical level but also emotionally. Readers beware of the erotic scenery that jumps off the pages at you. A promise is a promise.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

On Viking Seas is the third book in the Forerunner Series by Jay Veloso Batista set in the Viking Era around 880. It is a historical fantasy with all the trimmings. Suspense, magic, and mystical beings are melded perfectly into a historical period. Hold on to your seat cryptozoology fans, we have (drum rolls please)… dragons. Did I mention dark elves? History buffs and fellow pagans will truly enjoy the detail and historical notes given in this fantastic story when it comes to the Wild Hunt, legends, and other historical events.

The story follows the protagonist children of the Agneson clan: Cub, Kara, Sorven, Fin, Karl, and forerunner Thorfinn. Each alone in facing grueling troubles, events, and enemies. From plotting alderman, pet dragons, forced marriage, slavery, life at sea, and the ever-looming Jarl’s curse they seek to end. They remain determined despite the grim onslaught of troubles that face them as they continue their journey across Midgard (in summary: the Viking version of Earth).

The main characters stay at the forefront of this work while the subplots are tangled in perfectly. The care the author put into the historical details, the magic system, the mythology spills onto the pages of this book in an unforgettable way. Fans of historical fiction and fantasy alike will gravitate to this series and find themselves spun in. Recommended for any age YA to Adult.

Sure As Hell (Life is Hell #4)Sure As Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sure as Hell is the fourth book in the series Life is Hell by Naomi Valkyrie. She is an amazing story teller. She has a way to make you feel as if you are right there with the characters. This is a fantasy book but it has a lot of depth to the book. The plot line is filled with mystery, danger, secrets, suspense and some romance. The story moves quickly and you may even have to reread some parts because I know I missed them the first time around. The characters are unforgettable. They are fully complex and enjoyable. This is Jaru’s story. I felt as if I was riding on Jaur’s shoulder and going through everything he was at the same time. He has opened up a business and he feels like everything is sinking him into the ground. He has a best friend and he was asking if he was deserving that friendship. Will Jaru find time for Lark? With everything going on will he be able to stay connected with his best friend or will that relationship fail as well. I highly recommend this book, but be prepared to read in one sitting. It is that amazing.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Key West Dead is book 6 of the Jake Wolfe Novels. I love the characters that Nolan has created in this series. Sarah, Cody, Jake and even the Florida police officers working the case of Orion, the boat bomber. This story is action packed with adventure. And the description of the Key West area is realistic. Always a good mystery story when Nolan’s writing it. His stories are always believable and fun.
Looking forward to reading what Jake and Cody get into next. Definitely recommend this author.

Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Tracy Gutierrez

/0 Comments/in , /by

First time really listening to a book, instead of actually reading, and I must say I really enjoyed it. Adeline and Stone’s story is very intriguing. She starts working for Stone as his assistant while his regular assistant is on maternity leave. She just seems to crash into Stone and from there the flashbacks begin. They feel as if they’d met before kind of a déjà vu. Then he asks her to be his fake fiancé and they start to hit it off. Both begin to have feelings for each other. I truly enjoyed listening to this book. I think I’ll try it again with another of this author’s books.

This was a really great story. There was plenty of emotion, intrigue, and spice to keep you wanting more. You have to pay attention in the beginning, so you are clear on when they are going back to Christiano and Francesca. Stone sounded like a real catch and I loved how smart and strong Adeline was. It makes me want to visit Italy even more than I did before I read this book (which was a lot). This is definitely a must read and a story you will totally enjoy! 10 out of 10!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Life Is Hell Series. I can’t express how much I love these books. Each book is so unique but the characters are so good you are instantly drawn to them. I love the character of Jaru.

He’s such a sweet hearted character. In this story we see him struggling to become independent and being able to function on his own. Through his struggle we learn that with the support he has anything is possible. It is a really good insight into the thoughts of someone who is dealing with the same thing as Jaru is.

Add to this his blooming relationship with Lark, danger and surprises around every turn this books is definately a great addition to the series and I can’t wait for more.

I had high hopes for this book and was really in need of a pick me up with some light hearted flirting, a little bit of stream and humour. This series was completely jam packed with all of those things and I LOVED it! I loved all the characters in this series, I think they were beautifully developed in such a short space of time and you could really relate to a lot of them. I loved how curvy women were represented, as so often we see beautiful women described as being thin and athletic. I though it was lovely to have curvy women celebrated in such a positive way. I really do not have a bad word to say about any of the stories in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of reading these books and look forward to reading more just like this.

I will bury you is a good psychological thriller. There are lots of unexpected twists throughout the book. The narrator (Ann) loses track of time throughout the book, leaving the reader on the edge of their seat to try to piece together what is happening. The characters are relatable and complex making them realistic. The book is easy to read and hard to put down.

The Husband was an incredibly addicting read! I was highly intrigued by this series and I’m so glad I started it; this was my first book of the series but I cannot wait to start the series from the beginning to find out how everything started.

I was able to easily piece things together that I missed from not having read the first three books. Even with not having read the series in order I still highly enjoyed this book. I loved how complex and intense the storyline was, with the many characters each with their own connections to Evie. I was able to easily connect with Evie which made this book even more enjoyable.

I can’t wait to see where this author takes this series! And I look forward to reading the first three books asap!

Oh my goodness; this book is HOT and had my attention from start to finish! This is the first book in the Relentless Trilogy and the first book I have read by Vivian Fiano, but you can bet it won’t be the last; I NEED to know what happens next as this book ends on a cliffhanger!

The Good: The characters are so wonderful. I love how Jordan goes from delicate dancer to badass chick after her training and the way her character develops. Grant is a gem and struggles with real life career issues and struggles that are relevant with current life today. Fiano does such a great job making her characters believable and relatable.

The Great: The plot is spot on brilliance. Fiano weaves a web of suspense, romance, and intrigue that you will have you devouring this book quickly and eager for more. She keeps me on my toes and drops just enough hints and tricks to keep me guessing what comes next!

The Steamy: As I previously mentioned, some scenes in this book are HOT HOT HOT. Fiano didn’t skimp out on the details but walked the line perfectly to keep it classy.

This is a great read; I can’t wait to find out what happens next in Graceful Abduction!

I loved listening to this audio.  It is a fun, entertaining story that the narrator brings to life with each word of the story.  The tone of voice used made me want to keep listening.  I also enjoyed how the narrator’s voice changed with each character.  This is a story about Rick who is a playboy and is about to have his past come crashing into his present.  He is a rockstar but behind closed doors you find a different type of person.  This was such a great story to listen to.  I am happy I picked it up and I highly recommend this audio.

They made the story feel realistic and gave life to the story. This is an engaging, fast paced story that I had a hard time putting down. This is a well written story that the author’s attention to details made the twists and turns exciting and the feeling of wanting to know what will happen next. Alicia thinks she has the perfect marriage until she finds some emails between her husband and another woman that he never sent. Who is she and why did he never send them? Someone knows the truth but sometimes things come at a cost. This had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next.

Murder At Honeybee Lake by Jessica Aiken-Hall is the second book in the Shadow of a Doubt series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although personally I think it would be best read in order for a full enjoyment.
I thought this book was a great addition to the series. It was gripping and kept me guessing the whole way through. I just had to find out what was going on.
I thought the characters were what made this book. I really connected with them throughout and they are what really held my attention. I got behind them early on and stayed that way from start to finish. This is such a well written and intriguing book that I would highly recommend.

Everything, Somewhere by David Kummer is a coming of age story that follows three friends on their journey from high school to adulthood. I believe young adults will easily relate to the struggles the characters face, and be hooked before the first chapter is over. Mental Health is a controversial subject, and I think David did a wonderful job portraying that. There are some dark moments, so I would make sure you are prepared.

This was a darker book than I normally read, but so relatable. Kids going into their senior year of high school, dealing with divorced parents, drinking, smoking, depression, and what do they want their futures to look like. I could really relate to Willow; she is driven and wants to make her life better than what she has in this small town. Hudson finds an unusual connection with a famous man, Bruce. Bruce doesn’t come across as an unapproachable celebrity. We all know a Mason, the rich kid who throws great parties.
This story brought up so many emotions as I lived through the summer with them.

Keep in mind – I haven’t read the first book in this series when I happened upon the second one. Thankfully, the book itself is easy to follow, and the universe is easy to jump into. Unfortunately, there are some pretty significant editing errors throughout the book, which I found to be problematic and distracting from the actual reading process and kept me from really feeling like I was involved in the story. However, I really enjoyed the universe the author created and how in-depth the research went in ensuring that there was a unique, interesting story to be told. Overall, it’s definitely a great story, once you make it past some of the flaws in the writing.
