Coyote's Road TripCoyote’s Road Trip by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Coyote Jim is indeed an interesting character. I’m not sure if I’ve read a book like this before, so it took me a moment to get in the groove of reading it. His journey is in the title. He leaves his home to go on a road trip to see where to go and belong in the world. He starts out with familiar spirits that tag along with him and meets others on the way. For a spirit person, I give him credit for what he’s experienced and how he lives in the modern world. If you like Dystopian spirit books, give this one a go.

Heart Broken (Satan’s Devils MC #5) Audio Book by Manda Mellett – Review by Ashley Hasting

This series gives me such an emotional roller coaster ride, and I love them for it! Heart has finally woken from his coma, but with Crystal gone, he has become heartbroken. This resulted in him doing bad decisions and being given a 6 month suspension from Satan Devils to give him one last chance. He was going to give up and not take that chance, till he heard the words from Mark, and the rest you need to listen to! Lots of past history, drama, and karma, but so good to listen to!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Layla is a human who hunts vampires as that is what she was raised around with her family. Her next target takes her for a spin since Sam is someone she can’t keep her eyes off of. She doesn’t want him (That’s her brain talking, not her heart), but she needs his help to save her sisters. This first book is already sexy, dangerous, drama filled, and so entertaining that’ll you’ll want to finish it. BUT the cliffhanger though! I am ready for the second book immediately, so get ready for that as well! 🙂
