My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was just wow. A new author for me and unlike any other I have ever read! There is such a quirkiness but also just something that draws you in and traps you, leaving you needing to know where it goes! I am trying not to spill or give away anything but truly what a cool book! I would definitely recommend this book AND this author! He brings so much to the table and this book had everything you could imagine included in its plot! A great read hands down!

Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm – Review by April McCoy

Enemies of DovesEnemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an incredibly well written novel! I was tangled in the mystery this story held. I couldn’t have put this book down even if I wanted to. This book flowed easily and held the perfect amount of twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat until the end! I got completely and utterly lost to this book and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from it! Family secrets, deception, envy, and jealousy all wrapped into a young mans search for a place to belong and a family seemingly lost in the wind. I couldn’t recommend enough!!

What a great book! A tale with sadness, love, family, passion, chemistry, a well written antagonist.

Key to His Heart by Kristina Beck – Review by April McCoy

Key To His HeartKey To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was truly phenomenal. What an emotional rollercoaster this was! Katrina, Tj, and Toby were characters you couldn’t help but fall in love with and they made the story so exceptional. To say I felt every emotion is an understatement, I bawled, felt their joy, and every possible feeling in between! As a single mom who found someone to share their life and the heavy load with, I can honestly say this captured that soooo well! Kristina Beck did an incredible job writing a story that felt so much like I’m sure so many’s real lives. An exceptional read that brings a realistic quality to the fiction romance novels!

Insatiable Darkness (The Vigilant Book 0) by LM Preston – Review by April McCoy

Insatiable Darkness (Vigilant, #0.5)Insatiable Darkness by L.M. Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Insatiable Darkness was a great first book in the Vigilant series. It left me wanting more and more and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series. There is a cliffhanger so beware, however it made me NEED to continue with the series. The author has a great writing style and she led us into the characters in a way that made us learn who they were and their prevalence to the story. I really enjoyed and will be grabbing what else is out in the series asap! A great thrilling ride to settle in and solve the mystery!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel is so well written and relatable! We can all think of a time where our faith and futures were tested by rocky paths and murky pasts. I enjoyed the air of mystery and suspense in this book just as much as the romance and drama. Amber Waves of Grace was one that I found myself cozied up with a blanket and my kindle reading the night away until it was far past my bed time and the book was finished! A great read that paced perfectly!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I of course read this book not realizing somehow that it was a part of a series. Also of course, it was the last book in the series. This however, is my fault and you best believe after reading this one that I went and made sure I could grab the rest to begin again. This book was exciting, engaging, mysterious, and captivating. The author spins a tale that not only takes you to another place but another time. I feel for the characters and loved how they interacted with one another! Very well written and engaging tale!

Dark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book SeriesDark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book Series by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

India Kells captured me! I do believe I read one of these individually and not in order before finding this and rereading from the beginning. Each book performs well on its own with different characters that intertwine and all around incredible stories with their own fair shares of steam, romance, conflict, chemistry, and surprises. You do not HAVE to read them all or in order but I would be surprised if you read one and didn’t want to wholly consume the others. The characters are just to die for. You cannot help but fall for them and their journeys. India is an incredible author spinning tales that take you to another place. I can not get enough from the author!

It was well done all the way through, paced perfectly, engaging, and most of all made you feel. A wonderful book to get lost in and resurface for air feeling as if you have changed in some way! Could not recommend enough! Will definitely be looking for more from the author in the future!!
