This book isn’t what I expected at first. It was a little slow in the beginning but as the story went on it did pick up the pace quite a bit. The characters are very well-developed and they complement each other really well. I like how the characters are misfits and each has their own strengths and how their personalities are unique to their person. Also, the journey the group is on is not what I expected either, it’s very intriguing.

4 Stars Leaving No Traces (A Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome) by P.J. Mann
Leaving No Traces is a gripping tale of murder betrayal and justice. This book took me over and consumed my life until I finished. I couldn’t put it down. I was pulled in from the beginning and found myself lost in the pages. I had to know what was going to happen next. This author is still fairly new to me but I like her style of writing and attention to detail. Her characters are creative, relatable and fully developed. Detective Scala puts everything he has into case so when a young woman’s car is discovered abandoned with blood splatters on the seat he sets out to solve the case. What will happen when yet another murder emerges? Detective Scala wont give up as he digs deeply into the investigation. What does he uncover? Can he solve these cases before time runs out? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Im looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Mann – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
Antoine had been alone for centuries. His soul cried out to be united with his mate. A woman to soothe his aching soul. Someone who’d help to defeat the demons who hunted in his territory.
Donna’s life was over. After losing everything in her world, she was done with living. When the voices in her head compel her to put an end to her lonely existence, she’s more than ready to meet her maker.
After Antoine saves her from death, they struggle with the intensity of their emotions. Can they work out their differences in time to defeat the demons, or will the creatures from hell be the victors?
N.B. This book takes place before Captivated and can be read as a standalone.
I write Paranormal Romance, Contemporary Romance and Romantic Comedy, Enemies to Lovers, Romantic Suspense, and Friends to Lovers.
When not writing or reading I love watching Formula One racing and darts, live gigs, travelling, rock music, cinema, gardening, and spending time with my friends. I also have a large collection of skull related items, but not real ones lol!
I love goats lol. A couple of friends adopted one for me and her name is Maisie. I’d love to own one, but my husband isn’t quite so enthusiastic. 😊

Bewitching tarot meditations by bruja and award-winning writer Maria DeBlassie.
One part prose poetry, one part witchy insights, and one part study in learning the tarot, this book explores this mundane divination form for beginners and experts alike.
This cartomancy book was birthed from DeBlassie’s creative tarot studies in which she wrote 78-word prose poems for each of the 78 cards in the deck, using synchronicity, everyday magic, and her budding understanding of tarot symbolism and meanings to craft her tales.
It’s not your basic how-to-read tarot book, but more a how-to begin a conversation with this divination tool. As any tarot reader can tell you, dealing the deck is more than interpreting cards. It’s about building a relationship with this mystic tool and learning how you and the tarot can work together to discover numinous revelations.
This book is a series of proverbial spells. A series of stories. A series of synchronous messages and mystic musings. A journey into learning the tarot. Are you ready to start your adventure?

This is the first book in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries series and my first time reading this Amazing authors creations. To say I am hooked would be an understatement. This may be my first read but it definitely will not be my last.

Full of mystery and intrigue….I think that is the word I am after… you will be kept turning page after page as you follow Neferet and Berer-ib as they try to find a killer.

This is my first book by this author, and I gotta say, I’m impressed. The amount of details she poured into this book is phenomenal. This book is a clear labor of love, and it was a very good book as well. I loved the story line of it all, and I also really enjoyed the ending and the book as a whole. It’s a shorter book to my standards, which is fine, but the writing on it is so detailed that I still had to take my time with it and observe everything the author wrote. If you love history and mystery, I highly recommend!

Holmes – Review by Lucy Machard
I felt like I went back to high school. However this time I didn’t hate it. Sage Advice is a cute story about you guessed it high schoolers. I love the advice column aspect of the story. Though I was able to figure some out, it still gave a different life to the book. Frankly just as oblivious as the main character exhibits throughout I didn’t realize that tidbit from the title. But it is glaringly obvious now. Pyper is a high school senior, who had her heart shattered, and that incident revolved around prom. So what does she do? She swears off men, but at the same time lets everyone believe she’s in a relationship. She also tries to get prom canceled. Like I said, try. She learns some valuable lessons throughout this book. Some minor others may be a little more important. It’s the growth that she exhibits as she learns these lessons that really makes her character blossom. Will she ever confront and/or let her ex-boyfriend go? Will she open her eyes to not miss opportunities to be happy, that are right in front of her? Those questions and so many more to get the answers too. There’s so many characters that Impact Pyper in different ways, which actually reminded me of the people I surrounded myself with at that age. They were friends for sure, but they all served a different purpose in your life if they knew it or not. If you want something different, check out this young adult novel. Transport yourself back to a time when things didn’t matter as much as they do now. Teens, this book is definitely for you!

The Ring Of Eagna (The Cross Of Ciaran book 4) By: Andrea Matthew’s Review by: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
I have been addicted to this series from the beginning and this fourth installment, The Ring of Eagna did not disappoint one bit! I love how The Cross of Ciaran books have such deep roots in ancient cultures and archaeology. It is definitely what drew me to this series in the first place! Andrea Matthew’s creates a beautifully realistic and yet whimsical world that you can’t help but get lost in. I’ve always enjoyed her writing tone as well. Ms. Matthew’s really knows how to create a vivid picture and an even more clear feeling! This series has everything you could ever want: the paranormal, romance, time travel, mystery, and all blended in with historical facts! I was truly so excited to hear about this fourth book, hopefully not the last in this amazing series, and the engaging mystery woven within it. I highly recommend this Book, The Ring of Eagna and the entirety of The Cross Of Ciaran series to anyone looking for an escape and an adventure!

This is a page turner for sure, as I immediately got sunk into all the action, lies, and just to overall not knowing who or what was around the corner. Kept me on the edge of my seat I’d say. Great book, greatly written, great characters, highly reccomend to those of the murder mystery lovers club.

4.5/5 stars This was my first read by this author and it was great! I enjoyed the storyline and could most definitely relate to the death of her grandmother and how it affected her. This story is really lighthearted and easy to read.

Drama. My oh my where to begin. I love mystery and suspense books and this book seemed to fit into that, but it was so much more. This is the first book I have read by Laura Koerber, and I will certainly be looking into more of her work after this little treat. While this book wasn’t exactly what I thought it would be it was a fun little read for a rainy Sunday. Told from several perspectives of the Oaken Acres community we get a well-rounded look at life in the quiet little gated retirement community in Washington state. Instantly I was drawn not only to Jane and Leslie but in some ways truly felt an understanding towards Hazel. Yes, I know things are tense where Hazel is concerned especially when it comes to the garden that she found. That said also have an understanding to how Theresa feels, though I initially strongly disliked her when first starting the book. So many interesting characters and so many different stories and substories that make it easy to envision and feel like you’re there with a bag of popcorn watching the chaos play out. Will Hazel be able to keep her garden plot and the secrets it hides? Can Jane succeed in helping Andrea’s dog not be so lonely? While the world the author places her story is fiction it is reality all over the world. The “gated communities” look appealing, but they are no different than any other neighborhood. With drama, arguing, vengeful dreams played out in our heads, and broken hearts over lonely pets locked alone in garages for days. Not only could I picture this community existing in my own small mountain town, but I could see the characters’ traits in my neighbors. If you like a little mystery, some suspense, a lot of drama and some humor sprinkled in while watching friendships form to get through the pains of being alone this is the book for you. Now I’m off to take a stroll through the rest of this talented author’s work.

I was absolutely thrilled with this fun thriller! I loved Julia as our introvert heroine who is just trying to keep moving forward in life and is so excited to land a job as part of a bio-hazards cleaning crew. I found her to be extremely relatable, she wasn’t brave or butt kicking right off the bat, she had anxiety and fears and even anger about how things were handled in her new job. It was amazing to see her growth throughout the story and I loved the supporting characters. Doyle definitely cracked me up and I loved how caring and protective Karamel, Dawn, Stan, and Detective Ruiz were of Julia. This was definitely a book I couldn’t put down, as the mysteries kept coming, I just couldn’t figure out how things would end. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Wow wow wow!! Talk about a debut….well done so well done. I could not put this book down and I was at the edge of my seat from chapter 1 until the bitter end. This gave me all the feels I love about a book….suspense, danger, intrigue, action and chemistry between two characters that are off the charts. The twists and turns that this story had…..just when I thought I had it all figured out….definite jaw dropping moments. I am already looking forward to more more more!

Wyatt is sent down the minors after being a PR nightmare for his pro hockey team. In trying to work his way back up the big leagues, he has to be on his best behavior. A night out with team owner’s son finds him in the hospital with woman whose life he terrorized as she was in charge of hockey PR. When he cashes in on an IOU for saving her that night, Wyatt and Serena start up quite an odd friendship. However, there is more at play here…his need to keep a clean image, her sneaky assistant, his uncontrollable mother, and the sliminess of her boss (and his son). The more time they spend together, the closer Wyatt and Serena get. But, as secrets come out, will these two be strong enough to withstand the storm?
I enjoyed these characters…as they balanced each other and evened each other out. I really enjoyed the supporting characters and how they were able to see the good in Wyatt when sometimes he couldn’t see it himself. Meanwhile, Serena had her own problems that Wyatt was able to support her through. They healed each other. It was a good story that I enjoyed reading!

I can’t begin to describe how much I enjoyed this book. It can easily be read as a stand alone, I did and I don’t feel I missed anything which is a tribute to the writer! Vampires still hunting for rogues and the witches that may be helping these rogues causes Campania and Willow to cross paths and phew! The instant chemistry is real. Paranormal romance, fated forbidden mates, and dark romance will have you at the edge of your seat and staying up way too late Well done!

This is my kind of book right here!!! Give me a Navy SEAL or any other military character and a psychological maniac on the loose and weave some words together and you’ve got me hooked!!!
Keira O’Ryan is a PR rep and she loves her job. She’s works with various entertainers so when a stalker shows up after her, it’s not completely surprising. Not to mention that college ex-boyfriend who got really creepy. After receiving a series of photos on her phone, she starts to become even more alarmed.
Cade Hartford and a few of his retired military buddies run a security firm. He’s recently moved in next door to Keira and senses that something is up with her. When she comes to him confessing the pictures and the strange happenings going on, Cade knows that he has to jump in and do something to be a great neighbor.
There are many things I want to say about this book but I’m not going to say much as to not ruin anything about it. Just know that if you’re into a good psychological thriller, look no further than this book! It kept my attention all afternoon and I read it in one setting. The writing is very well done and the there are a few twists and turns that try to throw the reader off track (as well as the detectives). I did have it figured out pretty early but a few times I questioned whether I was right or not due to the the twists and turns. It wasn’t quite as I suspected though! Buckle up and enjoy this read! I’ve already downloaded the prequel to this book and I look forward to reading it and future books by this author soon!!

When I picked this book up, I was pulled straight back into this series, and this story, right from page one. I couldn’t put this book down. I had to read it till the end.

The writing and description in this book was so detailed that it makes you feel like you were riding along with Ian and Jarryd and their adventure. This book was exciting to read. This author really knows how to produce a creative and captivating series, I don’t think I’ve missed one of there books yet. I will add you should start this series from the first book thou, it starts right off from where the first one ends.

L. Schneider – Review by Jennifer reimer
This is a wonderful story. A high school senior sacrifices her summer and her senior year. Her single mother is suffering a severe depression following an unplanned pregnancy. The heroine experiences judgment from all sides, as people assume she is a young teen mother. There is an evil, conniving, relative who wants to buy the baby brother. There are college applications to complete, and high school heartbreak to avoid. The heroine must make serious and complex decisions for herself, her baby brother, and even her parents as the story unfolds.
I thought the book was going to be a Cozy Mystery, it’s not, you find out who the murderer is instantly. That’s not a bad thing, I really enjoyed the book. I wish things with Hazel would have ended differently, I feel it would have been funny if she was taken to jail. Anyone in a nosey HOA would have loved seeing that. At first I didn’t care for Jane and Leslie but I’m glad to see their friendship, along with Andrea, grow.

Guarding the Cease is the 10th book in this series. I haven’t read the other books, however I was still able to follow the storyline. The world building and characters was well thought out.

Well written book and I loved the character growth! I love when a character eventually grows on me when I didn’t care for them at the start. I was sucked in from the first chapter which made it a quick read for me, because I couldn’t put it down. I honestly think this book is the best of the series that I’ve read so far! Highly recommend! I love a good redemption story!!

Wow, what a ride! I love a good “whodunit” book and this one was phenomenal. When I thought someone was the suspect, I changed my mind to someone else and then it changes again. I loved the suspense and thrill and the writer had a great way of having you remember all the names and characters in this book. There was A LOT of names but I kept on track with them all. That’s a plus, lol. Super fast read because I simply couldn’t put it down. Highly suggest this book!

Mann – Review by Ashley Sugar
Jessica Watts had a rough life when growing up. She vows to help others in hopes that they don’t have to experience things that she had to. She’s always wanted to have a family who loved her, but now she is alone except for a few close friends. She is hired to find someone’s daughter and wonders what her life could have been like in their shoes. Once she finds her, she had to decide whether it is better to turn her in, or let her live the life she is now living. It is a great suspense thriller. The author did a great job with Jessica’s character.
this is a collection of stories that have an everyday hero in each one. the normal person can be an everyday hero just by what they do to help someone. the collection shows many different ways to be a hero. it’s a good collection of short stories.

Murder in a Gated Community was alright but not great. There were a lot of characters and I didn’t get invested in any of them. I was hoping for a bit more suspense, but instead felt it was just a bunch of busybodies… The murder was not very exciting to me, and I felt like there should have been more depth into Hazel. Or really any of the characters. I didn’t feel they were very developed or complex enough to make me care about any of them. The writing style was very unique. With the meeting notes and letters to the board. Unlike anything I’ve read.

While a fairly short, quick novella, Murder in a Gated Community is quite entertaining. The title, however, is slightly misleading. Many of the residents in the gated community of Oaken Acres are older, retired individuals. The community is quiet, less than kid friendly, and filled with nosey neighbors. While ideal for some, I found the idea of being so close to neighbors a little unpleasant. The HOA has lots of rules and regulations to follow as well. It seems as if many of the community members have no problems following these rules and regulations. But, just as in life, there is always a few willing to stretch and bend the rules. Overall, Laura Koerber delivers oddly realistic, believable characters and the differing points of view along the way make this story one of a kind!

This is the first book in the Atlantis series, on the shorter side but interesting nonetheless. The genre is right up my alley, paranormal romances – throw them all at me!
Firstly, I absolutely loved the concept and plot – using Atlantis as a prison for supernatural creatures! It was a brilliant idea and the story behind it all was great! However, having said that, there were times that I felt there was something lacking. This doesn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy this book, because I did, but I think it would have been better with more in-depth character and world building/background. I feel that if the book was a little longer this may have come together naturally but overall, it’s still very enjoyable and I’m hoping these gaps will be addressed in future books.
The author’s writing style flows nicely and is clear which made falling into the story that much easier.
I loved the plot and this was well-written, despite the issues I had with it, and this series shows potential to enter my favourites. I look forward to the next book and will look out for more from this author in the meantime!
