This is an absolutely adorable story about a little place called Mysty Haven. A place where those creatures that are not human live. It is in this city that Bob McLarney accepted a job to be a journalist for the Mysty Haven Weekender. However, this does not go well for Bob as he writes his article on Bigfoot instead of what he had been sent to report on. Not everyone seems to agree about his take on Bigfoot. After this fail Bob takes his skills to another effort…finding a missing gnome. Sticking to the task at hand, even when the police suspect him, Bob never gives up on finding the missing gnome. What deep dark mystery will Bob discover in finding the gnome?
This was a cute mystery novel that I highly enjoyed reading. The story was written to keep you flipping the pages to solve the mystery with Bob. If you are looking for a cute mystery read I would highly recommend this book!
The Mafia Elite Series Box Set: Volume two contains books 4-7. Each book can be read as a stand alone but contains the same cast of characters with each book focusing on a different pairing of main characters. Every book sucks you in from the first page to the last. You will never be disappointed as each book is a different story line with action, plot twists, romance, danger, and well crafted characters that are not carbon copies of one another. Absolutely one of my favorite series and I highly recommend the Mafia Elite series. With this box set you can binge read the following four books.
Savage Secrets, Book 4- Born and raised a Mafia Princess Elena knows that in order to survive she must always be looking over her shoulder. A new life under a new identity that cost her cutting all family ties. It is years before her cover is blown. To stay alive she must return home to the world she ran from. Marco believes the only woman he ever loved is dead, but learns she is very much alive. For how long? Marco must be quicker than the enemies in getting to her or she will truly be dead. Marriage for protection of her life is arranged.
Ruthless Heir Book 5- Luc has worked hard for what he has from the ground up. Becoming the heir to the Brambilla mafia wasn’t something he planned on, but he didn’t shy away from the opportunity once it presented itself. Summer is on the run and trying to survive under the radar. It is with a few drinks that she finds herself with Luc for a one night stand. At least that is how it started. Romance, danger, and the mafia? What could be more tempting to read about.
Collateral Damage Book 6- Surgeon and mafia man Trey La Rosa is the main male lead of this story line. After losing a lover from outside of his criminal world he finds himself hard pressed to be in love with another woman. Hailey daughter of the woman that owns the hospital where Trey works finds herself walking the line of the dark side. Out to get her step father for his misdeeds against her mother and the children’s wing finds herself kidnapped. Working with the hot doctor to follow the missing money eill Hailey find the answers she seeks? How dark and twisted will her world become involving the mafia doctor? Will Trey find his true love and happiness with Hailey?
Rivals Book 7- This book is just as amazing and page turning as the six books that came before it. With every story, including this one, the author manages to captive you with a different scenario of the same mafia world. This is another amazing mafia romance and sports the enemies-to-over trope with the tale of Nico and Mia.
Mia, mafia princess from New York, is in trouble and the person she has chosen for help? Nico la Rosa an underboss of a Chicago mafia family, aka the enemy. Will Nico be able to look past the title of enemy to protect Mia and help her take down her own family?

A book that focuses on keeping the supernatural hidden in plain sight? Sign me up! The little blurb about the book had me hooked and it did not disappoint! First page to the last I was captured in the story. Following along with Ommily and Link was like being transported into the book with them. The descriptions in the story were well written letting you easily picture the story. Not only do you get to experience faeries but vampires, werewolves, witches, and shapeshifters too. I highly recommend this book!

This story is based on a true story of a woman who is skilled in healing and is accused of witchcraft in the early twentieth century as a result of her skillset. The way that Cheryl Burman turned a tale from where she lives into a beautiful story is simply amazing. It is my first read by this author and definitely not my last as she has a way with words and crafting a remarkable story that begged to be read.
This story follows the main character Hester from the time she was a young girl to her adult years with the trials and events that she went through. As a daughter to a farmer she longs for more than the life she lives. It is in this young age she hears the river and its nymphs calling to her. A man named Aaron prevents her from entering the river and becomes her teacher in the healing arts. This is frowned upon. This is witchcraft…but this is her calling. Hester’s desire to forge her own path in life against the ideals of society has you rooting for her every step of the way. You simply cannot put down the book. Will Hester succeed in making her own destiny? Will the river that called her be a helper or a hindrance?
This book is a well written story that dives into culture, greed, and profound grief. The characters you encounter are crafted in such a way that what they are feeling or suffering from feels like you are the one with those experiences. The trauma of war with the repercussions that come from it are exposed in a light that is normally shadowed over. The lives of two different cultures living in one area is well written. Following along with the characters as time moves on and their personal journeys to healing keeps you wanting to turn the page. War related reads are not something I normally choose when picking up a story and I do not regret picking up this book. It hit me in the feelers while being an interesting read. I would highly recommend this book.

This is not my normal genre for reading, but the plot line was intriguing enough to give it a try. I didn’t know what to expect from this book but I am glad that I picked it up. Short but with adventure to keep you enjoying the story from start to finish. Captain Ravenna is on a mission to rescue her love at any cost. This includes partnering with an untrustworthy alien named Dravos. Dravos is on his own mission to find the missing Space Force vessel. The way their stories connect while searching to accomplish their missions will draw you in. If you are looking for a new sci-fi read with fated romance then this is the book for you.

The series only gets better and better. Book four does not hold back from delivering the same page turning adventure from each of the past books one to three. Reading the books in order is recommended, but there is a detailed recap at the beginning of the book to cover what happened thus far in the series. Each book adds more depth into the lives of the different characters and the world in which the story takes place. Set in the early time frame of the British Isles and Scandinavia with all the details to transport you back in time to this world of long ago. There are Vikings, witches, adventure, magic, love and war. This book centers around Kara and her arranged marriage that she journeys to escape from. Becoming a shieldmaiden and learning all what it really entails to be a warrior. Karl, Sorven, Thorfinn, and Cub each continue on in their own journeys. A must read series that I absolutely cannot wait for the next book!

Second year in the paranormal academy world Makayla finds herself returning to Grave Digger Academy. She isn’t alone in the return for another year. The position for transfer to another academy did not happen for any student at the academy. All bodies are needed to compete in an inter-academy face off with the other academies. A loss would be devastating to the school ensuring that its doors would close for good, but a win could get them the financial needs toward the school. What would happen in the paranormal world if the Grave Diggers didn’t keep the dead six feet under?
What could be better than having the gang back together and competing to keep their school open? Something foul smelling and out of place or will these inter-academy games be smooth sailing for the Grave Digger students?
This read was just as exciting as book 1! I flew through the story in just one sitting. It was good to continue on with Makayla and the other students in this second installment of the series. I cannot wait to continue on with book 3.

King – Review by Ayla Eddy
Dating is not easy in general. Imagine being a billionaire looking for actual love that isn’t out for your money. Imagine taking a detailed questionnaire to set up a profile for a dating application where you don’t get to see the other person and must rely on the algorithm to pair you with another. Then a date where you cannot see your date. This concept was well written in this story. I couldn’t put the book down.
You want someone to love you for you, but you are a well known billionaire. This is a dilemma facing Jake. Women just want him for his money and could care less about the man behind the money. His friends talk him into a new way to date that would help eliminate the money chasers, blind dating. You have the option to talk prior to the date or leave it to full chance when meeting at the restaurant in the dark where you dine with your date.
Lauren wants a significant other that is well off, but not at the extravagant level of her billionaire boss. Catherine, her friend, convinces her to let her choose a blind date for her. A night of chatting in the dark with a stranger. A date unlike any other with a man that she enjoys talking with though not enough to give him her identity just yet. Intrigued, she agrees to continue getting to know one another through messaging.
How will the two get along when their identities become known? Did the new blind dating work?
Don’t wait. Pick up the book and find out for yourself.

The world is lost to a disease that leaves the body as a zombie. It only takes a single bite to become infected and there is no cure. Amy will do anything to protect the one thing in the world that means the most to her, her daughter Lila. Every day is a battle for survival. The number of living souls is shrinking rapidly by the day.
Necrosis is a quick read about a mother’s love and a zombie apocalypse. It has detailed descriptions woven into the story that gives you a movie-like experience as you read along. It is a great short read so if you like zombies and survival stories this is a must read.
A quick read that gets the gears turning in your noggin. Only fifteen pages long but the way in which the writer shares the tale it feels like you have read a much longer story. We don’t want to be alone as humans and we don’t want to be with any random person in the dating pool. Especially so when it is dating in the zombie apocalypse. At first you pick it up asking yourself what in the world are you reading about to find that very quickly you feel connected to the main character in an emotional way and that you fully understand the story. Then once it is over the concept sinks in while you digest it and most likely start to compare your experiences to it.

I enjoyed this story from the start to finish. The way in which the author created a world for magically academies for students was unique. Who wouldn’t be interested in learning more about an academy of magic for keeping the undead from rising. The way she revealed different important bits of information was synced perfectly with the story line. You are never left without some fact or plot moment to keep you interested and needing to read on for the answer. Cannot wait to continue on to the next book in the series!
Makayla finds herself at an important milestone that all six of her brothers before her have already reached; starting an academy in the magical world. With everyone before her, parents included, successful in their schooling paths it comes as a surprise that she ends up at the school which takes all those rejected from all other academies…Grave Digger Academy. A school that teaches students how to keep the dead from rising up. Will Makayla successfully complete her first year and make it out to another school? What does a year of Grave Digging classes consist of? What will her prestigious family think when they find out?

This book was my first read by this author. I was intrigued by the fact that we share a name and had to pick up this book to see the world within the pages. It is very rare I encounter someone that I share a name with. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will pick up future books by Ayla Marie.
The storyline of The Blood Prince was interesting to read. The characters were well developed. Leo, one of the main characters we meet in the beginning, appears to be more of the villain of the story, but by the end his portrayal changes. On the run from both the past and the future Leo and his siblings try to find a better future. Will the past sink its hooks into them and keep them burdened by it? Will the future they run from win or will they be able to create the better future they seek? Pick up the book to find out for yourself. You won’t regret it.

It grabbed my attention from the first chapter to the last page. The story had well put together characters. It was a fresh read with the female lead not being a new adult with an older man. This was my first read from this author and it made an amazing first impression. I cannot wait to dive into more of her works.
How long can a person outrun their past before it catches up with them again? For Quinnlynn the answer is 100 years. A full century since she ran away on the day meant to be her betrothal day to the alpha Kieran. With her found Kieran will stop at nothing to put a crown on her head and make her his queen.

I don’t know what you are waiting for if you haven’t started this series. I would highly suggest it. You will be enjoying every moment from page one of book one. I cannot recommend this author or her books more.
This is another cute adventure of a mermaid and her human friend. Trezzie, the mermaid, is back with an adventure in the science world. This time it is learning how to make a magnifying glass with a few drops of water. The author once more combines a popular kids fantasy creature with the world of science. It makes science fun and exciting for little ones of any gender. The experiment was easily able to be replicated at home. Both my niece and nephew cannot wait for the next Trezzie adventure and what science fun they can try next time.

This was an exciting read that is not the run of the mill werewolf tale. The underdog takes the spotlights and as the reader you go through it with him. Wonderful read!
An emotional young adult high school romance. The main characters of the story are well written so that you cannot help but connect to them. They highlight the different cliques from highschool while maintaining a reality to them. It is refreshing to see a more realistic view point on the teenage world of high school as opposed to it being drawn over the top to all extremes.
Nathan has gone to this school his whole life, but before freshman year something changed. Yet in order to protect himself he chooses to keep everyone at a distance and himself behind a wall of lies. Only those who must know and his family are aware of his deepest secret. That is until a new girl becomes a witness to it.
To what lengths will Nathan go to keep his secret from the school? What lies will he add to his wall of protection? Will Holly keep his secret or will she ruin him?
Pick up the book to find out! You will be sucked in to find out his secret, the dilemma with Holly, and everything else that happens along the way.

A must read for anyone that enjoys historical fictions with a touch of magic woven into the story. Set in England during the time of the Vikings. It is filled with unique characters of the time frame, adventure, legends, and great world building. The story is told from multiple perspectives which gives the reader a more immersed experience in the story. A gripping page turner to find out what will happen next. I cannot wait to continue this series to follow the adventure.

Chloe has returned to the mortal world and sworn to stay away from Faerie. It has been a number of years since she left it behind, however she still uses protection against them. She full well knows the dangers of the Fae. With a stolen book she became the town apothecary to occupy her time until a face from her past shows up. Quintus, a Fae, has come to the mortal world to bring Chloe back to Faerie. He is adamant that she is the only one who can save his world. A mortal that is familiar with their ways. Humans are attacking with iron and her sister is in danger. Can she save her sister and the whole of Faerie?
A new story to dive into that sends the reader into the realm of the Fae. Unlike other stories it reveals that children born of mortal and fae are born as either full fae or full human. It was an interesting difference that I enjoyed while reading this story. I also enjoyed our main character’s attitude about wanting to remain in the mortal world with her own kind. The complex desire to be in a magical world yet knowing you don’t belong there is admirable in Chloe.
I am fully invested in this cast of characters and cannot wait to continue the series.

Moody – Review by Ayla Eddy
All the things you crave in a paranormal romance this book has. Well developed characters you get attached to, check. A world built so real with words you feel like you are there, check. Unsuspected plot twists, check. A blossoming yet slow burn romance, check. There isn’t anything missing from what makes a good paranormal romance in my opinion. This a book that keeps you turning the pages wanting more. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series to see what happens after the conclusion of this seires.
Greer is suddenly taken from her life in Paris and thrust into a convent as a casket girl. Meant to marry another that she has never met. She isn’t the only girl brought into this convent. Dark and unknown secrets lay in wait within the walls of her new life and the lives of the other casket girls. Will they accept their new fate or fight against the supernatural world to change it?
Theron is cursed by the God of the Underworld to live his life as a blood sucking vampire. Does this curse mean he is a cold hearted monster or is there more to him? There must be as he finds himself falling for Greer and fighting with her to save all the casket girls, especially her. Vampires, demons, Hades, and hell itself stand in their path.

A great paranormal romance. There is twists and excitement from start to finish. It leaves you wanting more of their story. A quick read but I cannot wait to pick up the next book to find out what happens next.
The story is around two main characters. Lily a captured human servant and Jason the future Alpha and King of Wolf Hollow. I enjoyed that Lily was not the weak female throughout and only continued to define her true strong-self as the story progressed. Equally Jason is not the over the edge intense insufferable werewolf, but still very much the assertive mate when the time arrives. Humans live in fear of the Shifters and do their best to avoid drawing attention on themselves. When Lily manages to gain more notice than she ever wanted after the Royals return home things in the house start to teeter on a dangerous shift in balance. Are their differences too much for Wolf Hollow? Will they get to find a happy ending?
A small trigger warning that the concept of rape is there, but not in graphic detail of said event.

This is an adorable children’s story. The pictures are bright and colorful which makes it all the more exciting for small kids. It has children interacting with a mermaid to share different tricks with one another. My four year old nephew throughly enjoyed this book for his bedtime story. He also wants to try out the tricks this summer at the lake. A very cute story. This made for a wonderful reading moment with my nephew.

This is a captivating fantasy adventure story. The world is easy to get lost in with the details provided by the author. Our main character Bernard changes the past for his family, but this comes with dire consequences. Partnering with fellow solider Alva to prevent the end of the world. Will they succeed in their quest?
My first read by this author and definitely not my last. The story gripped me from the first chapter. Putting it down felt like punishment and all I could think about was what was waiting for me when I picked it back up. I highly recommend this book!

Action, plot twists, and romance. The author has once again hit a home run with this book. Every single book of hers is amazing and has characters that draw you in. It is hard to put her books down. I cannot wait to read the next in the series. I highly recommend this book!!
The author did a fantastic job at creating this book. The characters are intriguing and well crafted. You just want to keep turning the page to see what they go through next. This book had be hooked from page one. I never wanted to stop reading. The twists in the plot only furthered my desire to keep on reading. I have not any other books from this author, but that will not be the case for long. I cannot wait for my next read from her works. I highly recommend this book!
Mystery books are not my usual cup of tea, but when I picked up the first book in this series I was sucked in. This is the fourth book in the series and it is just as gripping as the first three. Though it is part of the Orkneyinga murders it can be read as a stand alone. I would recommend reading the other books in the series. The story is well written with characters that you want to continue to read about. Who is the murder? It could be anyone who has a motive, which could everyone. The author keeps you guessing as to the answer to who done it. Once you start you will not want to put the book down! A wonderful read that I would highly recommend.
