Another enjoyable and engaging cozy mystery in this series featuring journalism student and amateur sleuth Eve Sawyer. Whilst on spring break Eve gets drawn into investigating a murder case. Her friend Bob is grieving the death of his Uncle Will, but although it was ruled that he died of natural causes Bob thinks it was foul play. Soon after she arrives Eve feels the same and uses her sleuthing skills along with her journalism expertise to look into the mystery. Eve is struggling to solve the case with only scant evidence when another murder occurs. Following the death of a guest at the local inn Eve needs to find the killer before there’s another murder. I love being back with Eve as she’s such a likeable and relatable main character and I always feel invested in her story. The small historic mining town Eve was visiting was brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. Once again I felt fully immersed in the storyline and the plot kept me hooked throughout.

I really enjoy finding new authors. This is the first book from this author I have read and I quite enjoyed it. One of my favorite fantasy creatures of mine is dragons and boy this really hit the spot. I like how the author is able to bring the characters to life. The story has a very good mix of drama and adventure. I found myself unable to put this book down. The characters have a very dynamic chemistry that really holds the reader’s imagination. The book just flows. I really look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Paige has a lot going on and when it’s good, it’s great, but when it’s bad, it’s horrible. She has a long-term boyfriend, is an actress on a popular series and is going to college for journalism. But then, everything falls apart. She gets a new job, meets a new guy and tries to find a positive spin on what is going on in her life.
I loved her interactions with her grandmother and the articles she sends to Paige. Her new job and the way that they are able to utilize her amazing skills instead of just seeing her as an intern or an actress are great. The comfort level between Paige and Victor from the beginning is great and how easily they discuss things that some take years to discuss.
I’ll be going back and reading the 1st book in the series.

A.D. Brazeau hit my sweet spot with this first book in The Casket Girls series. I am a sucker for any paranormal romance that includes vampires and Greek mythology! Also Blood and Ravens is perfectly spicy, loved it so much! I loved the tension between Greer and Theron. It was the perfect amount and the backdrop of 1700s New Orleans was really cool and well written. Of course I am going to snag the second book in this tantalizing series, Blood and Vengeance! I highly recommend this series!

What an amazing sequel to The Apothecary’s Curse. Barbara Barnett weaves a beautiful world beyond your wildest dreams! A world full of darkness and hope, Celtic and fairy lore, and amazing characters. Gaelen is such a fun and complex character, I enjoyed seeing Barnett’s world through his eyes. This series is truly unique and well thought out even the tiniest detail has purpose. I highly recommend reading this wonderful tale of you’re wanting to go on a journey through the bad and the good.

I picked up this book on a whim because I do enjoy reading motorcycle club romances. I mean the men involved are definitely all male, alpha, and the action in them is usually pretty spot on, and wrecked didn’t disappoint. I love an alpha male or a dude who is a total a**hole, but still has a soft spot for his lady and treats her amazingly well. In wrecked we have Reaper who after going through some stuff wrecks his bike and the trauma leaves him unable to ride, love, or really care about much, but enter our leading lady Ari who is fleeing traumas of her own. Both damaged in some way, struggling to overcome their trauma, can they in fact form a life together? You should pick up this book to find out. I definitely enjoyed reading their story.

I read all of these when published individually. I really enjoyed reading and following along on his journey. How convenient to have the ability to purchase them all at once in the trilogy, so when you finish one you can jump right into the next book as I’m sure you will want to.

L. Schneider – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz
This is the first book in the Rockstar Series. This is a rockstar romance which is full of chemistry and sizzle. The characters were likeable however at times I wasn’t as full invested in the couples story has I should be which was a bit of a shame for me, however I did enjoy the story overall.
This is a story of how two people met at random and that one meeting impacts them. Lucy has had a schoolgirl crush on Jesse for years and when she meets him at the airport she can’t believe her luck. The meeting feels awkward but things change when they meet years later. Lucy is now a famous actress and when she is set to perform in a music video she doesn’t realise it is for Jesse’s band. As they spend time together sparks start fly and when Jesse suggests they spend the weekend together Lucy jumps at the chance. However what will happen when what should have been a weekend of wild fun turns into something more. When Jesse realises that Lucy is the one will she be brave enough to put her heart on the line or will her past experiences stop her from taking a chance of the guy she has always wanted.
This is a very steamy story and some of the language and scenes maybe a little too steamy for some readers. Parts of the story felt a little awkward which for me spoils the story a little bit. Overall it was an ok read if you like rockstar romances with a bad boy who likes to talk dirty. Me personally I didn’t feel as invested in the characters as I would have liked to but it was still an enjoyable read.

I have been hooked on this series since I first started it and couldn’t wait to dive into this book. Then I read the prologe and had to step away for a few days. I was not expecting that at all.
Once I got my feelings in check I opened the book and I’m so glad I did. I instantly fell in love with Bijou and her daughter Claire as well as the relationship they have with one another. Definitely one I have wished I could have with my Mom and with my daughters. My girls and I are close but nothing like Bijou and Claire.
This is about healing and embracing a second chance at love and a normal life. I’m so glad they were each able to find the person to help make the holes in their hearts smaller, but never completely. It’s hard to lose someone you love and the pain grief don’t ever truly go away.
I really hope there will be more in this series. I will be waiting impatiently hoping that someone in this group isn’t done with their story and starts talking to Ms. May.

Wonderful faith based children’s story. Andrew is a little boy who loves many adventures. As he gets a bit older, having a brave sword, helmet and all the things to be a warrior is meant to be. Being brave, big and strong is all Andrew holds dear. When not feeling so brave, Andrew learns that it will be ok and he is not alone…..
The illustrations are colorful and very engaging and the overall story is just lovely. I believe this is a great book for the littles and also the young at heart. This story truly made my heart smile.
This was another cute installment of the Buckeye Falls series! I enjoyed the characters and the community feel of this series. This story had dually likable characters in Mallory and Beckett. I appreciate that as sometimes it is nice to take a breather from angsty males. I hope for another in this series.

I have read a few books from this author’s other books and I quite enjoy the worlds that are built. The author is able to bring all the characters to life. I like the fantasy setting for this and the complexity. I like how the narrator voices the characters and how much it adds to the richness of the story. I love the conflict in the book and how it builds for the main character. I just love reading authors new series. I am quite happy to read all supernatural and fantasy. This book was a great fit for that. I like the fantasy setting for this and the complexity. I like how the author has written the characters and how quite down to earth they are given the plot. I love the conflict in the book and how it builds for the main character.
Ian definitely is a character I can get into and also route for. I like how the author builds up the story and how the past is entwined. I look forward to the next book in this series.

I would say that you could read this as a stand alone but highly recommend you read book 1 prior to this one.

The Secret Aftermath is the highly anticipated second instalment in The Discoveries of Julia Xero series by Gloria Oliver. I admit I squealed when I saw this book had hit my Kindle as I absolutely adored the first book, and have been anticipating what the second book might hold ever since finishing Book #1. I was part way through a fantastic Boxed set when this book arrived, and I didn’t hesitate to put the box set aside so I could dive into this story immediately. I held my breath as I set off, as I really did have high hopes that this would be as good as the first instalment. Well, I am here to admit that I really should never have doubted Ms. Oliver, as this was every bit as good as the first, if not better. If you haven’t read the first book yet, I highly recommend that you do, as this book picks up right where the first book left off. So, knowing what happens in the first book will ensure there is no confusion as to what has happened, and what ensues from there. Plus, the first book provides character introductions, story foundations, and other important information- all of which will enhance your reading experience and enjoyment of this book/series. Julia has made numerous discoveries since we met her at the beginning of Book #1- all of which have turned her world upside down. An orphan who had struggled to find her place in the world, seems to have finally found ‘her tribe’ after she started her new, albeit unorthodox, job. The ‘cleaning’ job not only led to her new-found ‘family of sorts, but has also been a jaw-dropping journey of discovery. All of which seems threatened now, with a sinister plot in the works, and a powerful adversary intent on eliminating the ‘threat’ she poses- making for a gripping read. This is a fantastic urban fantasy with dramatic developments, danger, action, adventure, mystery, suspense, agendas, friendship, emotion, thrills, assassins, the paranormal, complexity, layers, secrets, quirky characters, a recurring cast, superb world building, rich details + descriptions, emotion, high stakes, and much, much more. OMG- I seriously can’t wait for Book #3 to arrive. I need it STAT! Loving this series so hard! Highly recommended! Happy Reading…

There is 3 books in this boxset and i enjoyed all of them. I have to say that the stories just keep getting better and better and the last book was definitely my favorite . The story is about Ian Troy. I enjoyed reading Troy’s story and watching him grow as a character. This action packed book was enjoyable and i am looking forward to more by this author in the future! Happy Reading!

He was struggling with his fire element and can only use it when he already has a fire going. He has become friends with some mortals, the Medici brothers, and has started working for them.

What a cute story. I love that the children were involved in the trip to the vet. I also loved how Mom told the children that the cats go to the vet just as we go to the doctor. So many things were discussed and explained to the children So they felt like part of the visit. This is a must have if you have pets. It keeps the children informed, as well as comfortable with Dr.s. This author did a fantastic job with this story. It was fast paced and easy to follow.

This is such a sweet and romantic story that will make you believe in lifetime love. Mallory has loved Beckett for as long as she can remember. One memory that has stuck with her is when her brother, Evan, married her and Beckett in a wedding ceremony when they were just children. When Evan gets engaged, Mallory and Beckett find themselves thrown together for wedding festivities. The feelings of the past still remain, but the two decide to date in secret because they don’t think Evan will approve. However, like in any small town, nothing stays a secret forever. Will these two, who loved each other when they were young, be able to make their forever dreams come true?
This is a cute story that I devoured in one sitting. While it is the 5th book in the series, it can definitely be read as a standalone. I enjoyed the small town atmosphere and the belief that you can find your true love before you really know what love is. I have enjoyed the other books in this series and this one was just as good.

This review is from book 1 and I don’t want to spoil this series. Therefore This is all you get. No Spoilers. Ian Troy is a Shinree, his race is what sets him apart from other races. He also comes with an addiction for magic. Only problem is his magic can kill everything and everybody in his path. Being of the Shinree race he must serve his master, even if that means going into battle. Having blood on his hand and the death of many. He decides to escape, but as far as he runs, everything catches up with him. I enjoyed this story, at times I felt as though I was in a race. This author has an eye for detail. The characters fit their description given by the author. Having read many books in this genre, I found this series just as entertaining and complete. This series makes for a great road trip listening. I recommend reading or listening to this series as it will not disappoint.

Forbiddenly Yours is Book 2 in the Titans of Chicago and I definitely was eagerly anticipating my Titans fix again….I love how Anise invites me into a world of powerful alpha men, sizzle and spark, passion but also secrets and danger. There is so much to not only this story but this series, I definitely recommend reading this series in order as you get to know characters that are woven in each story.
What possibly can happen when enjoying holiday time off at a beautiful island to relax and enjoy…but finding the person that totally draws you in to depths that were unimaginable. The connection that Callum and Nicole have after a chance encounter is that….instant spark….believing in just in that moment that afterwards going back to their real lives at home, never to see each other again. Be careful what you wish for….when another chance encounter happens and feelings become real….just hold on for a roller coaster of an emotional ride….especially when someone wants to interfere with everything that Callum has worked for….
This story is fantastic and I am looking forward to the next Titans story.

I grabbed this book as soon as I came across it even though I had never read anything by this author before. I absolutely love a good MC book though, so I decided to give it a chance. I am glad I dove into it immediately as I felt the author did an amazing job crafting a truly engaging storyline. Before I knew it, I had finished the book and was eager for more! I found myself completely invested in the characters Reaper, Avi, and Raven. Each of them brought something a little different to the story but everything meshed together incredibly well. There were quite a number of twists and turns in this emotional rollercoaster which had me on the edge of my seat, nose to the page. I am extremely excited to see what else this author has in store for us. If you enjoy MC romances, do yourself a favor and pick this one up!

Shadowed Storm: A Shadow Defense Security Thriller Book 4 (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott. This is the 4th book in the Shadow Defense Security Thriller Series and its just as good if not better than the previous 3. I love this series and while they can probably be read as standalone’s I highly recommend reading them in order to pick up on all the hidden gems you would miss reading them as singles. Its the continuing story of Alexis who finds out her former research professor is trying to release a strain of algae that would wipe out the world thru our water. When the bad guys find out Alexis is trying to stop him they are trying to stop Alexis and they will do it anyway they can. Which means Alexis is in serious danger. Seb is the security assigned to Alexis and he has got his work cut out for him. Alexis is more worried about Seb and his friends and wanting to keep them safe that she makes it harder for Seb. There is great chemistry between Seb and Alexis and you won’t want to stop flipping pages to see what happens!
The Crown of Stones Trilogy Box Set (The Crown of Stones Series) by C. L. Schneider. I have loved all these books in this amazing dark Fantasy trilogy. One of my favorite books is The Crown of Stones Magic-Price by C. L. Schneider. This is the story of Ian who is a Shinree, a Magic user whose race has an addiction to using magic. While trying to stop a war Ian used his magic to end a war and by mistake killed lots of fellow soliders and the woman he loved. He is on a mission to save the Rella Empire because he was sworn to do it. As he sets out on the journey he meets lots of people who are not his friends but pretend to be so he has to sort thru them all. He’s also having to deal with a magic addiction and get it under control before it consumes him. This is a great adventure with lots of magic, sorcery, drama, action and intrigue. Once you pick this up you will not want to put it down. Do yourself a favor and start reading it today! The second book is just as good The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars (Book 2) by C. L. Schneider . This is the second book in the Crown of Stones series and while it is not my favorite genre I have gotten sucked into this world and I want to read more and more. This is the continuing story of Ian Troy who has been captured by his old enemy King Draken of Langor. Ian has been sentenced to prison and while there he has been tortured, drugged, robbed of his will, his memories and his magic and made to do unspeakable things. As he awakens from the drug induced stupor he realizes this world is not familiar to him and that world is terrified. King Draken has taken control of the Crown of Stones and tore it up. Ian must find a way to repair the damage he has done. While Ian struggles to come to terms with the new man he is he finds his link to the Crown of Stones and uncovers all kinds of secrets. To save the Crown he must learn to deal with his magical powers without using the destructive appetite it creates. Will Ian succeed? I highly recommend reading the 1st book before. This book continues with the amazing story of magic, betrayal and mystery. Once you pick it up you won’t want to put it down! Do yourself a favor and read this trilogy today!

L. Schneider – Review by Tausha Treadway
This is a cute children’s story with nice illustrations. It follows an eager little boy who really wants to learn. However, being so eager can get you in trouble. This story doesn’t highlight the dangers this kiddo was in but it’s still a cute read.

In the book Magic Price, Ian Troy feels like he is a danger to everyone around him. He made a wish to stop a war that had been tearing realms apart for years. Even though he lost a lot he now has to face the difficult decision to save the reals one again from both new and old enemies.
For book two, Magic Scars, Ian funds himself in an unknown world. An enemy has taken control and named himself the High King. There is a group that is rebeling and they task Ian with repairing the Crown of Stones in hopes that it will turn things in their favor. During his quest he receives scars that are connected to this crown and he wants to find out the reason. Along the way he uncovers many secrets that have been hiding for many years that could either save everyone or be very detrimental. Finally in book three, Magic Borne, Ian is trying to find out the secrets of his people, the Shinree. He has been using his magic and that is what causes scars to appear on his body. His father wants to rule over all as Emperor, but Ian wants to stop him. In order to do that he must destroy the Crown of Stones. What will it cost? This was overall a good series and I am glad to have come across it.

This children’s book was so much more than just a family taking their cats to the vet! The author really took you along on what felt like a real and informative adventure to the vet’s office. It’s a great, realistic read for children and adults who may have concerns for their pets. It also leaves you with helpful information on caring for our purr friends. I found the illustrations very cute, and I enjoyed looking around at each page.

This MC romance had me hooked throughout. Each book in the series tells the story of one of the members of ‘The Merciless Few’ MC. This storyline focuses on Reaper who is suffering after his relationship, his bike and his life were all wrecked. Having had his life turned upside down he focuses on his club and his MC brother’s. Until Avi and her daughter Raven, ‘tater tot’ comes into his life. When mother and daughter are in danger from a family member Reaper vows to protect them both. The world of the MC came vividly to life through the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story. The plot had a mix of drama, emotions, MC life and of course romance, along with twists and turns that all kept me happily turning the pages. I look forward to future books in this series.
