The Naget family have a motto “We do what must be done” and I am here to tell you I completely agree because what must be done is you MUST read this book! I know I have mentioned in previous reviews I have written when a book has had me captivated from start to finish and while that is very true with this book what was even more meaningful to me was that my whole heart was fully engaged in every single written word. I don’t know for sure that even in my most vivid imaginings I could truly understand what this family has gone through but this extremely talented author presents this story to us in such a way that we are given the best opportunity possible to ever understand and feel this families experience. Thank you for opening and expanding my understanding.

A vampire seeking retribution. A witch who doesn’t know how to mind her own business. Will their newfound love survive the curse?
Master Romano has one task: settle the centuries-old land feud between the vampires and witches, once and for all. It will be far harder than anyone thought.
Especially, when he meets a sassy witch who captures his attention. The magnetic attraction draws him to her as though she were put on earth just for him. But she has secrets of her own.
Raven should be scared out of her mind, both by what the fanged lord of darkness wants to do to her, and how the coven will react if they learn she’s been helping the enemy who would like nothing better than to get rid of the witches for good.
But that’s far from her greatest problem. When the Consulate suspects Raven of being a spy, Romano is ordered to end her life to prove his loyalty.
Will the king of darkness turn against the woman he loves to maintain his seat on the Consulate or choose her as his mate instead?
Master Romano is the explosive fourth book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. It is a deliciously dark, fated mates, forbidden love, vampire romance. You will love these novels where the passion is fiery, the loyalty is fierce, and the stakes are high. While the books in this series are standalones that feature different couples with a guaranteed happily ever after each conclusion, they are best read in order.

Now, Tasis is calling in the last favor Ava owes him. Ava never breaks her word, so she and the Black Cauldron Detective Agency take the impossible case.
Can they find The Lauret Grimoire before anyone in the supernatural underground gets their hands on it? Or will a supernatural war start in Ava’s backyard?

We are the ones who walk barefoot through hell, making it out the other side with nothing left except sheer will and a whole lot of grit in our pockets.
By losing everything, others hailed us as beacons of hope. Our journeys were by no means glamorous. Each of us left an important part of ourselves behind so that we might start anew.
We are the survivors.
This is our chance to grab happiness by the horns and make it our own.

I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.
Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.
To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.
People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.
I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different.
I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes—I want them to know they are making a difference.
Fast forward to today…

Azreya, Aztec Princess: An Illustrated Mythology Legend by Tricia Copeland is a wonderful illustrated historical fantasy interwoven with mythology, mysticism, and gives a window into the Aztec culture, daily life, and their religion- with beautiful illustrations which help to bring this story to life. This adventure is really well-woven, as expected from this talented author, and I love the mysteriousness and intrigue that came with all the Aztec elements. The scene-setting and world-building are first-rate! Ms. Copeland’s attention to detail, clever and imaginative touches, and wonderfully descriptive details succeeded in pulling me into the story and making me feel like I was right there experiencing everything alongside the characters. As I have discovered previously, Ms. Copeland is a talented author who never fails to deliver a complex and captivating story. Matt Maes beautiful, bright, and intriguing illustrations definitely helped to take this story to the next level. Hope to see these two talented people collaborate again! Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Copeland has in store for us next!

You definitely have to read these books in order. So, all these .5 in the book numbers and more than one prequel is doing my head in so let me try to get it straight.
Insatiable Darkness is Book 0.5 in the Vigilant series and the prequel to Caged Fire Book 1 both are EmVee’s story.
Unbreakable Darkness is Book 1.5 in the series, but actually takes place at the same time as the first two books. It is Dexter’s story and is actually the prequel to Scepter of Fire Book 2. I know there are other books but I will worry about them later. Hope this helps.
These books are YA paranormal supernatural stories mixed with fantasy and science fiction. There is adventure and suspense, betrayal and mystery, danger and sacrifice, paranormal beings/creatures and magic and much, much more in this fast-paced and action-packed tale.
Dexter finds himself staring Trouble in the face more than he likes but unfortunately it seems to find him where ever he goes. Now it’s time to face it head on he only hopes he survives to tell the tale.
It took me a while to get into the flow of these books but now I am intrigued.

Azreya, Aztec Priestess is a book for YA’s aged 12 plus. It is a mishmash of paranormal/fantasy, historical fiction, legend and mythology. With shamans, monsters and gods there is a little bit for every YA paranormal fantasy lover.
It is a novel with illustrations done by Matt Maes that help bring the story to life.
Tricia’s passion for the subject matter shines through in the narrative.
It is a journey back in time when the Aztec were thriving but impending doom has been foreseen. Little is known about them and their ways but Tricia helps us learn more about them as we journey along with Azreya who is fighting to help her people thrive and survive.

This is a new to me author and I enjoyed this book alot. It was definitely very angsty and I didn’t agree with all of the choices made by the mcs but I was looking forward to seeing how it all played out as the story progressed. We get to see if love really conquers all and some the hardships people go through for the ones that they love. I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future! Happy Reading!
I Loved You Yesterday is a raw emotional journey. This second chance contemporary romance is a love triangle where brothers are involved. Yikes! It is fast paced with lots of steam, passion and drama. This tale is complex yet beautifully woven together to give the reader a story that will stay with them.
Although I fell in love with the characters there were times I didn’t know if I wanted to hug them or throttle them but all in all they are really well written and relatable.
The heart wants what the heart wants.
This award-winning debut novel has thrust Julie into the limelight in a spectacular way and I know once readers have gotten their hands on this book, they will fall in line waiting for what comes next, I know I will.
Can first love overcome time, secrets, challenges, and having to choose between twin brothers? I Loved You Yesterday is the first book in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy by Julie Navickas. This is the first book that I have read by this author, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her books. But as I love a great second chance story I took a chance and snapped up a copy and I am so glad that I did. This proved to be a wonderful second chances romance, with a bit of a love triangle, secrets, heartache, challenges, some angst, drama, and plenty of emotion. Bring on Book #2- “Love You Today”! Happy Reading!

Peg’s Stand: Satan’s Devils MC #6 by Manda Mellett Narrated by Sierra Kline and Logan McAllister Five Stars
This by far is my favorite Satan’s Devils book, but I tend to say that with every new book Ms Mellett writes. I have been waiting for Peg’s story. It was definitely worth the wait. Darcy is the perfect woman for Peg. She is a strong woman who encounters and surmounts obstacles along the way. This book is narrated by Sierra Kline and Logan McAllister as have been the prior books in this series. They work well with each other to bring the characters to life. The voices are easy on the ears. I look forward to listening to more books narrated by them in the future.

I absolutely loved this one. I never hesitate to pick this authors books up, and when I saw this one was on audio I had to have it. It had me laughing and crying and that’s how I know I really liked it. Brings on all of the emotions!! I really enjoyed the narrators. They did a great job and I enjoyed the way they brought this story to life. I will definitely be looking for more audios narrated by them asap. And of course more books by this wonderful author. Happy Listening!

Donna McDonald is a new author for me. I enjoyed listening to the story. Never is a Very Long Time is the first book in the series, The Perfect Date. This is a romantic comedy about dating in you 30s, 40s, 50+. Mariah Bates owns the Dating App that matches mature adults with each other for Perfect Dates. The fun ensues as she tries to stay one step ahead of her vindictive ex-husband. Detective John Monroe may turn out to be Mariah’s Perfect match. This is the first book I have listened to that used synthesized audio. To my surprise it was great, and would definitely listen to more audios like this.

This was an amazing read! I feel like I haven’t read a book this immersive in a while. The beginning was a little slow, and it took several chapters and some intrigue for me to really get invested but wow! I felt like I was right there with the siblings the whole time. The world building is just incredible in this book. The gorgeous cover drew me in but the immersive writing made me stay. I highly recommend reading this one if you’re a fan of fantasy! Slight trigger warning on blood, violence and some abuse though so be wary if you have those triggers. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

A sweet, fast read with a little bit of steam! Imagine being the wedding planner for the fake wedding of the long-lost love of your life? Kellie and Harrison’s story is compelling in this quick second chance romance.
This is easily read in one sitting, but despite its length, you get a full story with well developed and likable characters and storyline! The storyline is entertaining and written in alternating his/her point of view chapters, giving the reader greater insight to the couple’s story. The writing style is engaging and keeps you turning the page. I really enjoyed this one and look forward to the next story in the series!

Kristopher Simon was the Titan that had it all or so it seems. His marriage was basically over so all he has is his kids and his career. He was ready to dine with this marriage after all his wife had put him through. Then he met Alessia Johnston at a medical convention. He would be her boss so he knew he should stay away. He couldn’t resist her any more than she could resist him. Things begin to spiral and it seems like they will never find their way to each other. I loved this book. To hear Krisopher story at long last and understand him more.

This book literally had it all! I was hooked from the very beginning. The author weaved such a remarkable story that you could not put down! I was entranced and literally felt everything as I read!
What stood out to me as I read this gem, was the emotional impact all the character were able to have on me! They all had an impact that made them who they were. They had a lot of connected ability, and I felt so much as I read. I loved the author’s writing. The book was a fast read for me, and one I did not want to part with! Some parts I smiled, others I cried or let a laugh escape. Amazing read! Loved it!
This author is truly talented with the journey they created with their writing in this book! I could not of asked for more! A very high commendation for this book and author from this reader. A must read!
This book really baked the cake and ate it! I love anything wit mythology and legends, and this book really came to life as I read. THE book was visually enlightening as well as amazing words that brought the story to life. Was a quick read for me, that I was completely immersed in! Impossible not to enjoy it!
Interesting story and plot,that quickly took off. Azreya was quite the character, easily someone you would look up to for all the qualities she possessed. The illustrations were amazing as well!

This book is unbelieveably sexy and funny, as well as full of interesting notes on BDSM. There is a lot of trauma based events as well, but it brings the two main characters closer. I’m also incredibly impressed with the amount of solid chapters this novel has. There are no boring points ever to be found, with PLENTY of funny or steamy scenes, or trauma flashbacks/details. Highly recommend!!!

Love is so many things that you never quite know what to expect with romance story. Love can be complicated, it can be messy, it can be blind, and it can make people make difficult decisions. Such is the case with this romance story, the lead characters were truly amazing but is it possible that their decisions pushed each other away? The world building was complex, the story was original, and overall so great that I simply couldn’t put it down.
I absolutely loved every page of this book! I have read books before that I could not put down but this one comes out on top! The characters are real, raw and relatable. Each character’s emotions flows off the pages and readers can feel the pain, heartache and suffering along with the happiness and joy each character finds! At no point is it one sided each character is developed so well throughout the entire book! I cannot wait for the next installment of this series!

I was quite entertained in the beginning of the book but at some part I became completely engrossed in it and unable to put it down. Time was irrelevant and I absorbed myself into this world. Brielle D. Porter is an amazing author, and I can’t wait to see what adventure she’ll take us on next!
Lisette is a determined female lead and her honesty with herself is definitely refreshing. Her father was known as the Kingkiller and she isn’t sure she will ever live it down, but she isn’t going to just sit idly by and deal with what life gave her. Her ultimate goal is to obtain the position of the Queen’s Jester but there are quite a few obstacles in her way. Will she be able to redeem her family name and win the crown’s attention, or will her career disappear in a cloud of smoke?
If this is Brielle D. Porter’s debut novel, watch out world! She is bound for amazing things. She has written an incredible magical tale and I’m excited to see more from her. You won’t be disappointed with this original otherworldly book!

This book is in no way for the faint of heart. This author takes hard to deal with situations and writes them well this book isn’t for everyone but I for one simply couldn’t put it down. Two imperfect people with a heck of a story to tell.from page one I knew I’d be getting very little sleep and I was right. Once I started I found it so hard to put it down when the real world came calling. There’s definitely times this author had me in tears and I loved every minute of it. The story will draw you so completely in and you’ll have a hard time when the end comes. Five stars and highly recommended all the way.

I have loved every single book in this series and I loved this one just as much. I’m sad that this series has come to an end, it’s like losing friends. This author writes in such a way that I feel connected to the characters and become completely engaged in the story line. This book had action, romance, suspense, twists and turns, and amazing characters. You don’t need to have read the previous books to read this one but it’s my opinion that you should not only because they are amazing but also because you have a better back story of the characters. Nico and Mia are very strong, stubborn and intelligent people and I enjoyed reading their story. This is a must read.
Kara, Shieldmaiden of Eire is the fourth book in the Forerunner Series of Viking fantasy books. It’s definitely worth reading the books in order, although this book does open with a recap of the series so far. The story follows members of a family who are having adventures across the Viking world. As the title suggests, Kara is in Ireland getting caught up in conflict between Christian and Pagan communities and trying to prove herself as a Shieldmaiden. Her older brother Cub finds his skills as a linguist as useful as his fighting skills in France. The story jumps between perspectives, with youngest brother Finn connecting the dispersed family with his vardoger abilities. It can be frustrating at times to jump to a different part of the story just when you’re getting engrossed, but then it keeps you reading until you return to that character! I particularly like all the historical and geographic detail in this book. It’s great getting to see what different areas might have been like at the time, with information such as trade and governing systems coming through the story. We even know who washes and who doesn’t (poor Sorven, living the unhygienic life outside the law…) This is a five-star read for me. I’d recommend it for fans of action-packed historical stories. It’s great for older teens and young adults (and older adults too…). If you’re new to the series, though, do start with Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse to get to know the characters and enjoy the story in order.
