The Marcy Series Boxset is the first three books in the series. Linda J Burson does an amazing job of grabbing my attention and holding throughout the series. Her attention to detail paints a beautiful picture in my mind’s eye. She introduces Marcy, Brad, and Liam in book one Rage. Marcy is living the American Dream, her own house, and business. She has some issues and she is working through them. I love how much Marcy grows through the series. I highly recommend this box set to follow Marcy and her relationships.

The Girl and the Gargoyle: YA Paranormal Romance by Pauline Gruber is the second book in The Girl and the Raven book series. I highly recommend reading the first book in the series before this one. The story of Lucy continues as she learns more about her powers, trains with her father Jude, and grows closer to her boyfriend Marcus. I enjoyed the first book but this one was even better. The characters and the story are really compelling. I look forward to reading more from this series and from this author in the future.

Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart is the fourth book in the Dark Spell Series. I highly recommend this series in order instead of as standalone reads. This book is my favorite so far in the series. We get the backstory to Isra and how she developed into the person she has become. I really enjoyed this insight into Isra and it gives a new dimension to the characters and the other books. I look forward to reading more in this series soon and from this author.

Repair was probably one of the best books I have read this year. I would give this book 10 stars if that was even possible. This book was amazing from the very first page to the very last.
The book starts the day of Jack Easton’s funeral. Charlotte ( Charlie ) and her family are there to support Tank on this horrible day. Tank is pretty much part of the family. Tank and Charlie’s brother Jude have been best friends forever. Charlie has had a crush on Trent for just about her whole life. Trent and Charlie leave so Trent can go change. They never make it back. They end up going somewhere and spending the night. The next day some hurtful things were said which causes Charlie and Trent to never speak a word to eachother for 8 years. Just and Trent’s friendship takes a bit of a hit since Charlie leaves town all because of Trent.
8 years later, Charlie returns to her hometown of Sunnyville along with a job transfer. What will happen when Trent and Charlie see eachother? So much has happened. Trent has a lot to tell Charlie but, will he? Chapter 19/20 totally gets me and I was going to have to have words with the author. Haha!
You definitely don’t want to miss out on this great read. I cannot wait for book 2. Such a great read!

These books have really sucked me in by the ever so talented Hazel Storm! THE GOD is the second book in the HER THREE IMMORTAL series so I would highly recommend that you go get book one, THE DON before you dive into this one. That one is just as fab, but we pick up right where we left off in that one so you may be a tad left in the dark if you don’t start there. These books take one of my favorite subjects of Greek Mythology and really plays a wonderful spin on it that just is done so wonderfully that I can’t help but love every single moment I spend with the characters. The romance is done well and believable so that is always a plus for me as well. I loved this addition and will definitely be back for the next book that looks like it is due out very soon!

Yall, I said it before when I reviewed the first book in the Shadow Chronicles and I will say it again but these books are not your average vampire reads and everyone should go run and one-click them! They are just fab and I have become and instant fan of CR Robertson as a result. I love her knack for writing paranormal romance books and her ability to restore my faith in vampire reads once again. I used to love this genre and really really loved reading Anne Rice and whatnot but just became really burned out and sad when Twilight killed it, yes I know I am one of those that could have done without that whole franchise all together. Anywho Forbidden Mate took me on a magnificent ride and kept me reading late into the night. In fact it kept the hubby up too who may or may not be reading these now, oopsies lol. Not sorry actually. These books have something for everyone with action and adventure, intrigue and suspense and the underlying romance is enough to keep me so glued to the kindle I can’t bear it. I will most definitely be stalking and hoping for book three to be available soon!

Tainted was a book I throughly enjoyed. It was like watching a movie in my head instead of reading a book, it was that well written. It kept me in suspense and on the edge of my seat. The character Gerry made my skin crawl every time his part came. Martha wrote him extremely well and I was happy with the way she ended it. I really wanted to see a continuation and how Matt’s and Liz’s relationship turned out! It had just enough steamy parts that got you wanting more, but before it got too descriptive and too into it, it stopped. That’s what I love. It didn’t overwhelm the story and become the main thing. It was nice addition that helped the story along. I can’t wait to read some more of her books!

This is such a cute story! Natalina Reis did such a great job at making the characters engaging and relatable. With a little twist here and there, a story that may have started as predicable became original in a cheeky and lovable way! Descriptions were on point and the flow was perfection! Non-traditional protagonist/antagonist situations makes this story even more original and fun to read.

It was captivating and fun to experience. I have really enjoyed the series so far. The characters are awesome together. It was action packed with all the feels of a romance. If you like vampires, werewolves and hell-spawns definitely read this series. CR Robertson really has a way of drawing you into the paranormal fantasy world!

This story is emotional and raw. It also shows what a mother will do to protect her son. No length to too much. The struggle to find friends with a mental illness is real. But when you find out you don’t know if the voice you trust is real, how do you come back from that? This story is so real and happens every day in someone’s world. A lot goes in noticed. Mental illness needs more light shown and this book shined in my opinion.

Her Dark Love (Dark Spells Series Book 4) by Isra Sravenheart 3 Stars
Although this is book four in the series, it reads more like a prequel. It is about Lady Isra as a young, innocent witch before she turned to the dark side. We learn how she joined Wingdom Academy and met Everilda. Once best friends until a man came between them. Isra being young and inexperienced fell fir Jonathan. In the end, he broke her heart and she turned hell bent on revenge.
I enjoyed reading about her as a young girl and learning about her past. I was happy to see Astrid was part of the story and learning how he first became part of her life. Unfortunately there was a lot of repetition once again. I understood that her hair was chocolate brown and her eyes were like emeralds the first time that I read it. It didn’t need to be repeated constantly. The story felt rushed yet at the same time, it felt like there was information missing. I feel like the author should slow down so that she can better express herself better on paper.

Isra is a young witch with big plans, she is seventeen and wants to enrol in the Wingdom’s Academy of Ancient Magics to learn more magic, however, when she arrives the building is unassuming, apart from the very realistic gargoyles and the classes are boring, but she takes solace in the nature surrounding it. It is during one of these times that she meets a fellow witch with whom she thinks she will get on with, Everilda, another young witch but she seems to be more interested in romance and boys than she is in the craft, but they hit it off despite this.
On another day, Isra is waiting for Everilda in a meadow so that they can spend some time together, but instead of Everilda turning up, it is a mysterious young man, he isn’t showing any signs of magic, but he is attractive and captivating and because she is quite naïve and inexperienced, the fact that he is paying attention to her is a bit of a novelty. She keeps distant yet polite with him and he introduces himself as Jonathan, but is also wary because of the rules of the college, however, she contemplates spending more time with him and she cannot wait to tell Everilda all about it when she gets back to the Academy. This is where Everilda starts to drift away from Isra because it turns out that she also has intentions towards this man, but Isra has come to the attention of a light bringer named Samuel who sends his right hand raven Astrid to observe and report on her actions after hearing of her future.
As time passes and Isra’s relationships with Everilda and James develop, they become more complicated and when Isra finds out that she is involved in a love triangle, she is devastated and cannot believe it, but will she be able to forgive and forget and will Astrid and the light bringers be able to keep her on the path of light, or will the darkness prevail? This is a fantastic story with twists, turns and magic galore which will draw you in to a magical world, while explaining beginnings and the consequences of interfering with the emotions and lives of others until you reach its conclusion.

This book was definitely outside of what I normally choose. I’m glad I took a chance on this book! I kept in mind what was prefaced before the book even started and how this story even came to light.
While I wouldn’t necessarily classify it as a traditional thriller, it was definitely psychologically suspenseful at times. The consideration of how Branson’s voices and hallucinations manifested as well as the way his mother handled what was unfolding kept me very invested.
I’ve read a few books that contain characters with mental illness but I found this one to be one that really creates a supportive pull for all involved. I understood the rationale for the father, Ed and his role in the initial PTSD diagnosis but I felt that he was an inconsistent plot point.
I am definitely interested in reading the second book of this series, The Divided Twin.

This is the second book I have read by this author which I enjoyed just as much as the first one. This is a young adult story about Rocky and what happens when he is accused of stealing. He is a young man who has plans until his suspicions that Ted is trying to frame him. What will happen to him? Will he prove his innocence and prove that Ted is really behind this? I enjoyed his character and what he brought to the story. The secondary characters gave great support. They all kept the story engaging and wanted to know what would happen next to them. This is well written and the realistic feel and details are great. I really enjoyed this book and it would be great for any young adult. I highly recommend this book.

The Sound of Silence Audio Book by Dakota Willink is a gripping and intense story that literally had my pulse racing. For so much of this book I found myself on the edge of my seat. It almost felt like I was right there with Gia and there were times when my heart was in my throat at the thought of what was about to happen. The author has done such an incredible job with this book. It is heartbreaking and uplifting all at the same time. I loved how she used the multiple POV’s to really add depth to the story. For me it made it even better. This book definitely contains triggers so for those that may be sensitive of them I would say read with caution. However I also cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is easily my favourite one by this author and it is also one of the best books that I have listened to or read this year! I am already looking forward to experiencing this one again. An amazing and emotional book I would urge everyone to pick up today!!!

Dire’s Club by Kimberly Packard is such a unique and interesting book that really pulled me in from the start. I loved the concept of the final bucket list trip and how the author has gone about creating that idea. I thought that all the characters were so well written. They each had their part to play and fit the book so well. This is still a relatively new author for me and I really enjoyed how this book is completely different to the other books of hers that I have read. I think this one has to be my favourite book so far and it one I would highly recommend.

This is the 1st murder mystery book I have read. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. This is book one of the Stripped series and it’s a spin off of the Bruised series. I can’t wait to go back and read the other series. This book takes Dee the main character through some very serious soul searching. The love triangle, the steam, and the suspense were all great!!!

Forbidden Mate (The Shadow Chronicles Book 2) by CR Robertson. This book was amazing. The first book was good too and I would suggest reading it first but this book just blew everything out of the water. Its a fast paced story full of paranormal romance, drama, and vampires. This is the conclusion of Tasha and Levi’s story and it will shock you to the core. Things are more complicated as the battle continues between the Vamps and the Lycans. Castus is still totally obsessed with Tasha and will stop at nothing to have her even though she wants nothing to do with him. This is the telltale sign of whether Tasha and Levi make it and it will keep you flipping pages until you are finished. Tasha is still finding out about her powers and how to use them and of course her relationship with Levi is causing all kinds of destruction. This book is so good and I hope you will all read it.

This is my favorite story by this author. There is drama and action and the characters have real world problems to overcome. This also is a triangle style that I have not read before. That alone made this intriguing on how the author handled this situation.
I really enjoyed these characters and storyline. They made me smile and I easily identified with them. I loved each of their jobs. Levi’s especially is very different and interesting. That is something that makes a book stand out to me. The uniqueness of the characters and plot.
The only thing I felt was iffy in here is the complete turn around of one character. This person is combative, full of their self and showy. I just couldn’t see that type of person showing tears and all of a sudden…nice. Maybe as time goes by..changes could occur…like the epilogue..that fits. I think I looked at all these characters as “real world” and I forgot they are fictional and can do anything. Anyway this is a blip in an otherwise wonderful story.
This is not my first book by this author but I feel it is her best. The story moves along at a good pace and I was drawn Into these lives. This is well rounded and I enjoyed it.

So Close is the 4th book in the Love Grows series by Renee Regent. Although part of a series, each book can be read as a stand-alone. I have read the previous book in the series and enjoyed them all so was really excited to read another book in this series. In So Close we get the story of Dahlia and Levi. Dahlia and Levi were best friends as kids but have since become enemies. What’s going to happen when they have to work together on a project? I really enjoyed reading Dahlia and Levi’s story. You are kept waiting quite a while to find out why they became enemies and this kept me gripped to the story. I wanted/needed to know what went wrong to end their friendship. Levi is determined to get Dahlia back as a friend…and more and will do anything to get back into her good books. This makes for a very entertaining read which had me not want to put this book down. Dahlia and Levi are both great characters that you can easily relate to and you can’t help but hope that they get their HEA.

There is something to be said for a strong, courageous female lead. Regardless of the genre, I find that these novels pull me in, and spit me out wanting to be a little bit better, a little bit stronger, and a little more independent. This story was comprised of a couple strong female characters, being Liz, and Lauran (her daughter.) Their relationship alone tells you what kind of Mother Liz is, and how much of her life she devoted to motherhood. Her little pup Charley seems to be quite adorable as well.
We’re thrown into a whirlwind of events when the FBI come pounding on Liz’s door in the wee hours of the morning, and you’re quickly brought up to speed on the goings on of what she’s been through over the last couple years. Once you get the backstory, Lauran and Liz make their way to Red River, NM, from Fort Worth, Tx. Marsha R. West does a phenomenal job at setting the scene, and you feel as though you are along for the ride, through the scenic drive. The easy conversation, and getting to know both these characters is done, flawlessly!
The trials and tribulations that these women, and their friends/acquaintances go through are crazy, intense, and quick. I found myself getting more and more curious as to what would happen with Liz, and her old love interest from high school, Marshal Matt Thornton, as it quickly becomes a suspense and second chance romance. I didn’t ever put this book down and was lost in it from page 1 until the ending. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. Will be recommending to my Mother, as Liz and Lauran’s relationship reminds me of our own.

I absolutely enjoyed this book! I was engaged from the beginning and had a hard time putting it down. As a 37 year old woman, there was a lot of relatable ideas to the main character, Ivory. I will say, I am fortunate to not have the confidence demons that she has and I got so frustrated for her trepidation throughout the book.
I liked that the story was light and moved smoothly. The plot kept moving and all of the details were relevant to the story. I would definitely read more books by this author!

Vampires, lycan, witches, and hellspawn, this book had it all! Vampires and lycan are sworn enemies so how it is possible that Levi and Tasha were able to become mates? Levi will do anything to protect his vampire mate, but will it be enough? The vampires and lycan have formed a truce, but a new enemy is at their door threatening to destroy both species. I loved the twists, turns, and the unexpected that CR Robertson gave in this story. I don’t want to give any surprises away. I loved this book and was disappointed when I came to the end. I want more!

This is the 4th book in the Dark Spells series. I have enjoyed all these books but this one is really special.
This book is proof that people aren’t always what they seem and that some life event makes them the way they are.
This book goes back to when Isra goes to Wingdom’s Academy to learn all about her gifts as a witch. This is a side of Isra we haven’t seen before when she is sweet, innocent and good. Isra is only has good in her heart and even though she’s not very social she makes friends with Everilda.
However the friendship turns nasty when Irsa finds herself involved in a love triangle with Everilda and Johnathan. Everilda knows about Isra’s feelings for Johnathan but she still pursues him. Feeling hurt and betrayed by the 2 people she cares for and trusts this is the turning point where Isra goes from good to dark.
Meanwhile Isra is being watched as she is part of a prophecy. Does Isra need to remain good or is that the main reason for her turning to the dark side.
This book is full of adventure and betrayal. It also answers a lot of questions about what made Isra the way she is

This collection of books isn’t really something that I would normally pick, however I am really glad I choose it all 3 of these books were brilliant such an easy read, wasn’t too taxing on my ill mind which made it even more enjoyable, I would definitely recommend this book set to anyone that is wanting branch out to a different genre you won’t be disappointed the plot was easy to follow and it did have me thinking were each book was going with the mystery
When I started this series, I had no idea there were thirteen books! Linda Burson has created an amazing story with Marcy, Liam, Brad, and all of the other characters. It was nearly impossible to put down. I am looking forward to diving deep into the other ten books to see what happens after the initial three.
Book one introduces us to Marcy and her rage. She has been irritable, violent, and unlike herself for quite some time. There is no fathomable explanation for it, but everyone in her life has noticed a change in her. We meet Brad, who doesn’t come across as the most reliable or understanding partner, but we discover all about how they met and the memories that they’ve shared. We meet Liam, who has an heir of mystery about him that is BEGGING to be discovered. Marcy’s friends and family (and all those who work in her cafe) are wonderfully written. They obviously care about her and put her best interests at heart always. After an ultimatum, Marcy decides to get some insight into why she is feeling the way that she is – which only opens the door for more revelations and ‘confusion’.
Book two, aptly named confusion, follows Marcy on her journey to discover what her heart truly wants. She gets an opportunity that most never do – falling in love with more than one person and getting to explore that love with both of them until she is able to decide what her choice should be. There is so much being uncovered in her therapy sessions that she needs to deal with, but her priority seems to be focusing on her love life. Trauma is a hard thing to recover from and avoidance is usually the easiest way to handle it. We follow her journey with Liam mostly in this book and learn more about him – as we did with Brad in book one. Safe to say, I have made my choice by this point.
Book three was a rollercoaster at night with a blindfold. Marcy has made her decision, told everyone she cares about, started on a new path towards her future, and made AMAZING strides in discovering her entire past to move past the traumatizing experiences she faced. Things never go the way that you think they will with Linda Burson and I am absolutely addicted to this series due to the twists and turns, shocking revelations, and character storylines.
There are no cliffhangers here, but I will say that you will be left wanting so much more. I am so excited to continue this series and find out what happens to all of the characters. These books have caused me to be very thorough when reading and I find myself being suspicious of the things that are being said or the way that the characters are acting on each page. I love the way this story is progressing and that there is still so much left to uncover. Seriously, if you’re thinking about it – read them! Don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it. *TW: descriptive violence & self-harm*

Burson – Review by Tamisha Janay
I loved these mystery novels, and them being in a box set made them all so much more amazing I would say! I loved how each one pertained to a certain mystery of its own, and the characters were always so full of intuitiveness that they were all more than just lovely characters. Plus loved how characters were carried over to the next book! All of these books are defiantly worth a read!
The first novel follows Sunshine, she has a important duty, but things go a bit haywire when a robbery happens and its bounty for her head personally. I loved her. She was a strong and good character and she had very much intelligence. She was very good at the mystery itself and a great heroine!
The second novel that we have at hand, is about the Marina. And the surrounding people and those who know Sunshine and those I will say Sunshine will get to know to get to the bottom of this. Animals begin turning up dead but why was the true mystery at hand. Sunshine and her friend go about this mystery to get to the bottom of this! Even if they have to go to the bottom of the ocean!
The final novel I got to enjoy as well, we follow the awesome Sunshine again with a murder. She has help from a few friends this round. I found this one very intriguing for me personally. There was so much surrounding this murder, and many possible motives. As the others, all were fun and great!
I loved reading about the adventures of Sunshine in the novel, and the mysteries she got sucked into! The books were fun, full of heart, and really knew how to suck you in. The author wrote a great series of books and I am so happy that I did! I had a lot of fun and enjoyment and I will defiantly suggest you read this bix set! The author wrote some wonderful mystery’s to enjoy, and they are quite addictive!
I was a big fan of book one, but The Girl and the Gargoyle is even better! Pauline Gruber has outdone herself on this one. Completely unpredictable, I loved the twists and turns that keep you guessing what’s going to happen next. Continuing on from the first book, the mystery around Marcus continues to grow in this book and keeps you hooked, as well as the relationships that Lucy forms with both Jude and Dylan. The way the author has created the atmosphere ready for book 3 is honestly genius, and I cant wait!

5 Stars The Sound of Silence AUDIO BOOK by Dakota Willink
Holy Cow! What an intense yet gut wrenching romantic suspense that will have you turning the pages while on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what is going to happen next. This author never ceases to amaze me, this is my favorite yet. The narrators done a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life and making you feel like you are right there with them. This is an emotional rollercoaster ride that in some parts I had to push stop and take a minute to gather myself then I was right back to listening. This is about Gia she’s a woman who thought she found love with Ethan but she soon found out what you see is definitely not what you get! Ethan is a abusive man . Gia finds the strength and courage to get away. Will she be safe? Can she trust another man? Find out what happens next in this must listen/read. I can’t wait to read/listen to more books by this author.
