My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fast paced supernatural mystery read! I really love how you get the best of both worlds. You get the detective side with the fantasy! I love Ava’s character and all of friends that help her throughout the story. Its a race against time in most of the book so it will keep you turning pages to see what happens next. You really feel like you are there with the author’s descriptions. I will definitely be reading the other book in the series!

This was a great steamy read! This was a different take on shifters that I have not read before. I really loved all of the passion between Kieran and Quinnlynn.The patience he has for her is so sweet.I enjoyed getting some background to Quinnlynn’s story and what really happened to her parents. I didn’t want the story to end and can’t wait to read more from this author. They have a very detailed and passionate writing style.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a non stop read that keeps you guessing until the end! With plenty of oh wow plot twist I read this book in a day. I could not put it down needing to know what would happen to Vin, Rosie and Cate. Your heart will ache for each character for very different reasons. I love that there was a mixture of each persons past in the story to give you a sense of who they are. You will also find a reason to despise each character, some more than others. This story shows the reality of what happens when tragedy strikes and how us as humans handle it. We all have secrets, some are just heavier than others. Will definitely read more from this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this quick romance! Its such a sweet story about coming back to a love you had before. Seeing if its possible to rekindle a romance that once was is exactly what Katie and Chase do. You never know if there’s to much pain that is still lingering from the past. I really enjoy the characters in the story and how you get to know their back stories as well. We don’t always make the best decisions but sometimes we get to go back to see if our mistakes can be forgiven.

This is a fast paced, could totally happen apocalyptic read! I really love the authors writing style and the characters. I love Calum’s level head in some pretty stressful situations. The fact that this story isn’t that far fetched will send chills down your spine! It will keep you up late turning pages to see what happens to Ben, Calum, Rob and Jessie. Just when you think you may have the plot figured out there’s another truth found. There’s a lot of science to back up the story to really get you thinking! I can’t wait to read the next book!

Between Darkness & Light (War of Destiny #3)Between Darkness & Light by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series just keeps getting better! Julia’s story continues and so do her hardships. This third book is just as fast paced and amazing as the first two. Julia grows a lot in this book and you learn more about why Samuel felt so much power in her. Once you think you have things figured out there’s a plot twist. I so enjoy reading Julia’s story and the trials she has to go through. All of the added abilities and ways of the vampires in this series has been a very interesting story. I will be reading more from this author as I love her ideas and writing style. I am absolutely loving this series and am looking forward to book 4!

This second book in the series picks up with Julia telling more of her back story. I’m really loving this series! Its a fast paced story that kept me reading and not wanting to stop. I I really enjoy the authors writing style and their storytelling style. You read from Julia’s perspective mostly and want nothing but for her to be happy. There is so much emotional scarring but is it to much to overcome? With the suspense building and another twist this one is hard to put down.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book jumps right into Juliana’s past and grabs your attention right away! There are some very intense scenes that may be hard for some to read. This story was amazing though. Julia grows a lot but still is very naive. This book is setting the back story for Julia. It was so hard to read about her past and what all she went through. She’s not out of the woods yet and has a lot still to learn about her new life. I’m about to start the second book because I have to know what happens! This was definitely a great start to the series!

This was the first book I read by this author and it was really really good! This story jumps right in and keeps you entranced and wanting to know what happens. Roxanne had some trauma she is still trying to process and Claudette may be just what she needs to help her heal. Really they need each other and they just click from the start. This story is definitely intense and I totally did not expect the ending! I literally gasped when secrets were revealed and just so surprised at the plot twist. Its definitely worth the read!

Twilight's SpyTwilight’s Spy by K.M. Wray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author did not disappoint! I definitely recommend reading the first book so you have some back story to the realms. The stories are well written so you can picture everything as you are reading. Yarissa is a fierce character especially after she realizes her strength. In the beginning she thinks she knows where she belongs but goes on a mission only to realize she may have been wrong. This story has some new characters that you aren’t sure if Yarissa should trust. She’s still young by elf standards and does a lot of growing throughout the story. I’m really glad the author did this in between story. I can’t wait to read book 2 to see where the story goes for the Twilight Realm!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this steamy romance! This second book in the Astoria Bay Thunder series follows Tia and Bridger. The story picks up when the two if them meet for the photo shoot at the cabin. I really love Tia as a character! She’s not perfect and is a very strong female. Her and Bridger both can be to hard on themselves and it makes you feel their pain even more. There are also some amazingly steamy scenes in this book that would be hard not to enjoy! You can read this as a stand alone but then you miss out on another great romance.

This romance story was a breath of fresh air! This book is a great clean romance and has three different love stories that you get to follow. I enjoyed all 3 of them for different reasons. I love the sweetness in this book and the characters hearts. I would have to say Leona is my favorite character in the story. Her sweet nature to want to give everyone a happy ever after even though she doesn’t have her own makes you love her even more. All the love stories will keep you wanting more! I really enjoyed this authors writing style and will be reading more from her!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love the different quotes at the beginning of each chapter! This was a great read that really digs into the characters and their feelings. You get to read from Holly and Nathan’s perspective which I really enjoyed. For being young they have some pretty adult and intense situations to overcome. I love how detailed the author was with their writing, it really helps you get into the story. I will say there are some pretty adult and very descriptive scenes that may not be ok for all readers/ages.

This book had both great romance and the suspense to keep you turning pages! Ellawyn is so sweet and kind hearted. Sometimes you can become bitter after certain events in your life, but not her. Benji is the best and has a such a beautiful soul. Beckett is so patient and takes after Benji with his amazing heart. Quimby Grove sounds like that perfect small town we would all love to live in!

This is one of those stories that really draws you in! I love how you get to know the back stories of the characters. The intensity of the story really comes through from the start.

I can’t wait to see where this series goes as there are so many options and secrets to learn I’m sure!

What an awesome finish to the series! I loved getting to know Karen and Brody in this book. You get to know Breckin’s mysterious brother in this one. And get to know her friend Karen. Both have secrets they would rather leave buried. Some secrets can push someone away but others bring you closer. Karen and Brody have some great banter back and forth! This was a great 4th book to the series! You definitely will enjoy the writing style from this author!

There are some hurdles to get pass but that’s how love works.You also get to still have updates on characters from the previous books which I really love.

I have already read book 2 not realizing it was a series. You can read them as a stand alone but I highly recommend the whole series!

I couldn’t have enjoyed this romance more! I love the authors writing style and the realness if this story. I’ve honestly enjoyed all of her books so far. I adore Nate’s character so much in this book. His patience reminded me of my husband. A couple of times I found myself frustrated with Bree and her stubborn hot headedness. Towards the end I even got frustrated with her parents! I love that this story came with trials and triumph in love! It definitely is an amazing read and I definitely recommend picking it up!

Its really an interesting perspective to read about. I believe this is a prequel to another of this authors books so I’ll be picking that one up soon!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this fantasy read! I’m always willing to read a book about Fae. This story jumps right in and only reads from Chloe’s point of view. She grows and learns so much about herself when she returns to Faerie to help rescue the Fae. This book has non stop storytelling and the author does an amazing job at describing the world in which Chloe lives. She definitely has a great imagination and I will definitely be checking out more from her. This story in particular ends on a cliff hanger so make sure to have book 2 ready!

Wow! This read jumps right in with no hesitation and in a good way! Vandana is amazing in so many ways. She definitely knows how to hold her own and then some. She fits right in where the story takes her. And Morgan, oh captivating Morgan. He is one smooth character so amazingly written. The descriptions of all the places make me want to hop on a plane! Without giving away too much there are some crazy plot twist and that’s all I can say about them! This steamy romance was definitely worth the read!

This was a rollercoaster romantic read! Regan is strong, independent and sometimes hard headed to a fault. Then there’s Jeremy who thinks he has everything he wants. Then their paths cross and everything changes. This story is a whirlwind and I was just along for the ride! Then add in the steamy scenes and it makes for a great read. I really enjoyed the writing style and reading from both perspectives. Will definitely be reading more from this author!!
