This book has all the makings of a wonderful YA paranormal story! Lucy has had a life riddled with unfair circumstances and the author does a great job of reeling you in from the first sentence. I loved the watching her as she grew from a young girl unsure of herself into a young woman who knew what was truly important. She deals with the same things all teen girls deal with but there is a twist…she isn’t human. This story is filled with the supernatural and keeps you wondering what will happen in the end. It can get slow at times but towards the end picks back up and reels you in! It has love, heartbreaks, witches, demons, and more!

This was a new author for me but I have to say that I may have found a new favorite. This book sucks you in from the beginning and keeps you hooked all the way till the end! I found her descriptions captivating and her characters thrilling! The plot was well thought out and I absolutely loved the various aspects the author added into the story to make it seem even more realistic. I would absolutely encourage you to read this if you are in search of an amazing author and story!

I was delightfully surprised by this book! I don’t typically read historical fiction but decided to take a gamble on this story and I am so glad I did. I loved the constant banter between the heroine, Isabel, and her handsome yet pushy new husband. I was constantly looking forward to seeing what would happen next and read the book fairly quickly! If you are in search of a book that will pass the time quickly as you are transported into another era this is the perfect fit. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Riveting storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat!
If you are looking for a story that keeps you wondering what will happen next, you have found it! If you want a compelling story with greater characters then you have found it.
When Zoey, a young girl learns the truth behind her disappearance at the age of 5, her life is thrown into a world of surprise! This story takes you along with her as she discovers what truly happened that night and the other secrets that have been held from her! It’s a whirlwind of emotions, heartbreak, and family.
If you want action that keeps you in suspense throughout a book this is a great one to read. It keeps you on your toes with twists and turns while still allowing you to love the characters you are reading about. It does have a bit of YA feel to it with the two main characters being young but the author does a great job of making an older audience feel welcome with the addition of the supporting characters.
I didn’t realize this was a spin-off to The Blood Dagger trilogy until after I had already started this book. I haven’t read the trilogy but imagine it may have helped with the storyline in Shield and Shade if I had read it before. Simply meaning I would have seen the bigger picture a bit clearer. This book explains the necessary bits and pieces and can be read alone and still quite enjoyable.
Overall, I loved the storyline in this book. It captivates you and keeps you wondering what else could possibly go wrong! The only complaint I had was the switching perspectives sometimes lost me and I would have to take a second to get into the mindset of the next characters (which is likely my issue as a reader haha!) But in general, this story was great and worthy of reading. It definitely reminds me of Mortal Instruments and stories along those lines. I look forward to reading more from this author!

Vibrant Illustrations with a Big Message! Amazing book for children to learn about extinction on their level! I loved the illustrations and the songs used throughout. It was a short read (perfect for its target audience) filled with a big message. My young son was enthralled by the vibrant illustrations on each page and it made conversation easy on a harsh subject. This would be the perfect addition to a curriculum on extinction in the classroom. The book does an excellent job of showing that even the littlest creatures can make the biggest differences!

I will start by saying this book had a unique approach to the werewolf mate relationship. When I began reading it I was excited to see how it was going to play out. While I was expecting a bit more of a focus on the paranormal side this book could have offered, it read more like a romance novel that just so happened to include a shifter as one of the main characters. I really appreciated the fact that Tamara wasn’t your typical female character. She had realistic flaws that most women could relate to! I loved how Josh’s dedication to her even when she made it hard. Tamara is an average woman with typical relatable flaws! She has a past that she can’t seem to let go of and is constantly torn between allowing herself to be loved or to push Josh away. Josh seems to deal with her issues in stride and shows that love can truly overcome any obstacle. Overall, I liked Nightfall and it was an easy read.
