Breathe Underwater by Anise Storm & Taylor L. Ray – Review by April McCoy

Breathe UnderwaterBreathe Underwater by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I couldn’t get enough of this book or the characters. It invoked all the feels, and had me literally yearning for a happy ending! I was hooked and read the whole thing in one sitting. The authors took second chance romance and reinvented it. It was devastatingly beautiful and so well written. The characters became real and the story was full of hope and hurt. Couldn’t reccommend enough!

This is the fourth instalment of the Cozy Mysteries to Die for series (which I am silly and did not realize) however! They do say they can be standalones.

I found this book well balanced, easy to read, and it kept my attention right to the end! Beck was an awesome character and I will definitely be reading more of the series!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The second book of the Grave Digger Academy series and it was worth it! C.A. King is seriously on of my all-time faves. This continuation held no lacklustre! It was another exciting thrilling read following Makayla on her second year! I enjoy the excitement and mystery and find this one of my favourite fantasy sets so far! I can’t wait to see what else we get from the author because it is always worth losing yourself in!

Break The Darkness (The Vigilant Book 2.5) by LM Preston – Review by April McCoy

Break The Darkness (Vigilant, #2.5)Break The Darkness by L.M. Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a well written book with lots of excitement. My one drawback was there were moments where I felt like I was missing something which became apparent when I understood that this was book 2.5 in the series. which is my fault, not the authors. LM Preston has created characters with spunk and a likeable personality. I enjoyed this story enough to want to go back and read the series from the start!

This book had it all! Mystery, suspense, danger, forbidden romance. What more could you ask for! This was well written and is book 3 of a series called Moon Harbour. Side note… I did not read any others so I am not sure if they act as standalone or if I was missing anything but I felt like I wasn’t lost while reading it! It was well written with great flow and characters and I was on the edge of my seat hanging onto every word right to the very end! I loved this story and it fit right into my wheelhouse!

This is a book I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Marissa was a character I adored, related to on certain levels and just gave the book exactly what it needed to surpass expectations. This was well written, easy to read, and easy to love! The suspense, drama and romance kept me on the edge of my seat waiting impatiently for what was to come. My first book read of the Postscript series but I can assure you I will be reading book 1 and 2 and any that follow this excellent book 3!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ava was a character I loved instantly. The author painted a picture of two worlds in one where I felt as if I was really there. I adore the supernatural and this was a perfect ride of it! The book was well written and easy to follow. It was also equally exciting and had me flipping pages pretty quick in some spots. Not only was Ava a great character but her friends and foes all made the story great! It was well thought out and highly enjoyable!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book easily exceeded my expectations. Like, move over Christian Grey, we have a new player in the arena. This is the book you’re reading anywhere and everywhere because you just can’t seem to stay away. Your face will be red, you will question whether anyone can tell what you’re reading and you will have zero shame. It was honestly so well written, the characters flowed together so well and were just so well thought out. The steam, goodness gracious, the steam was divine! You can’t help but be captured totally by the story and the characters and you certainly won’t want to miss this! Deborah Garland gave us a banger here!

In Plain Sight is book 8 of the Logan McKenna Mystery Series, and full disclosure, I didn’t realize that upon grabbing the book.

It was fascinating, relative with a fantasy spin and just an incredible story!! Would recommend all the way!
