Whispers in the WatersWhispers in the Waters by Sarah Chislon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This Novella gave me a taste of Jessas’ world that makes me want more! For the book being so short I found the detail and mystery that Jessa solves to be engaging. Jessa is relatable in her instinct to protect her family and others around her. I loved the touch of magic added. With the fae-touched, I found it similar to how ladies were prosecuted back in the day for being mentally insane. I can’t wait to read the first book in the series Tattoo of Crimson (Blood of the Fae series).

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy Audiobook by C.L. Schneider – Review by Callie Luna

/0 Comments/in /by

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy is an incredible story! This is the first book that I have read/ listened to by C. L. Schneider. From the first word, I was propelled into an incredible action scene and an apocalypse to boot. The action and suspense are present throughout the book. I did not want to stop listening for a minute!

The audiobook quality and the pacing are amazing. Dahlia’s voice is what I expected and her personality shines through. Some of the other male characters’ voices can be a little annoying but overall I thought the performance was great. During some of the intense scenes, the narrator slows down to really provide the needed impact.

Even though there were previous books that I have not read I was able to understand the story and fell in love the with characters. Dahlia is a strong female character lead. The authors’ descriptions of the places and the creatures gave me clear visuals of the world. I love how Dahlias’ shifting is described. I cannot wait to read/ listen to the rest of the series!

Revenge Never Rests starts right where Secrets Never Die ends. Tallie Brown is trying to figure out herself (and her relationship with Jackson) with the revelation of her birth family from the last book. The story follows her in gaining a better understanding of herself while trying to find out the mystery of who is taking previous military personnel.

What Actually Happened to Isaac MooreWhat Actually Happened to Isaac Moore by Samantha J. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What Actually Happened to Isaac Moore starts out as a classic pirate story of a fairy tale treasure in another world. Then the story is taken in a completely different direction with the appearance of a fairy looking to get back to her world and needing Isaac’s help.

It is truly a refreshing engaging story with many twists and turns that I was not expecting. The amount of detail in this book is perfect to get the point across and brings about distinct images of the creature and or place. I could not put this book down because I needed to find out what happened to Isaac Moore!

Dream-Shifter by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Callie Luna

Dream-ShifterDream-Shifter by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

  1. Gwendolyn is a standard pre teen faced with an issue of being stuck as an Elk. The book is based on her experiences as an Elk. Trying to navigate her world without hands thus she needs more help from the people around her. I found it funny that it wasn’t taboo that she was a dream-shifter, usually this is the standard case with most magic. Instead she must convince those around her that she is in fact Gwendolyn. Other people’s acceptance of her being in an elk body are all different. She is hilarious and outgoing trying accomplish getting into journalism camp. There was one part I didn’t like towards the end since it came out the blue and didn’t think that it was needed. I don’t want to spoil the story so I’ll leave it at that. I thought overall the story is a fun coming of age story and having to live with body changes.

The Order of Vespers by Matilda Reyes is a fantastic read. The book is a fast read with great characters that have personalities.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Better Gnomes and Gardens is a magical book. I loved Bob, the main character, because of his optimism and how he interacts with the residents of Mysty Haven. When Bob gets fired from his job at the Weekender he is presented with a job from a local to find his missing gnome. Bob discovers more than he bargained for while trying to solve the case. This book is suitable for all ages and has good morals. I can’t wait to read the next book since it was left on a cliffhanger. Don’t worry the mystery of the missing gnome is solved and has a happy ending!

Friends with Benies (Paris in Springtime Book 7) by T.B. Bond – Review by Callie Luna

Friends with Benies: An AMBW Paranormal Romance (Paris in Springtime Book 7)Friends with Benies: An AMBW Paranormal Romance by T.B. Bond
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Friends with Benies is an enjoyable, sweet, short read. Wednesday is a feisty techno witch, who happens to be named after the Adams Family due to her parent’s sense of humor. She has been best friends with Ryker since they were young and decides that she wants additional benefits from her friend. They can’t be together due to the complications of Ryker being a Panda shifter and having a mate that will be with him for life. The world-building didn’t really seem to be there but this is the seventh book in the series. It’s still a fun, sexy, short read.

Mis-Spelled (The Stellaluna Chronicles Book 1) by TH Leatherman – Review by Callie Luna

Mis-Spelled: Book One of the Stellaluna ChroniclesMis-Spelled: Book One of the Stellaluna Chronicles by T.H. Leatherman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I highly recommend reading Mis-Spelled! Evan suddenly gets transported to a different dimension filled with adventure and fairytale creatures. Evan must figure out how to survive in Stellaluna and figure out a way to get back home. I really enjoyed the magic system of Stellaluna. Every race has different magic and humans are able to learn them all thus becoming mages/ wizards. The book is well-written and uses puns to be funny, even the chapter names. Evan is consistently making jokes that the reader understands but the people of Stellaluna are left scratching their heads. The characters and relationships between them are believable. There is enough of a twist from the well-known stories to be interesting. Often times I had a hard time putting down the book and had to read a few pages of the next chapter before I could. The ending of the book is wrapped up nicely with no cliffhanger, but I still can’t wait to pick up the next book!

SpidersightSpidersight by Tirzah M.M. Hawkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spidersight has a subtle creepiness that doesn’t leave the story. It is set in a five year old point of view so its easy to understand and ups the creepy factor. It is believable that Missy is playing make believe that she can see spiders that no one else can, I mean who hasn’t had an imaginary friend? Things get real once Missy finally discovers what Fred eats. It seems like there is no way out of her unfortunate situation. I couldn’t put this book down because I had to know how it ends!

From Brick & Darkness by J.L. Sullivan – Review by Callie Luna

From Brick & DarknessFrom Brick & Darkness by J.L. Sullivan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From Brick & Darkness is a must read book! When reading the premise I thought that it was going to take the standard genie path with three wishes and being careful what you wish for. This book is anything but the standard. Bax is relatable as a teenager and has respect for his single mom with issues at high school. The theme of being careful what you wish for is still there along with being thankful for what you have.
