THE BOW (HER THREE IMMORTALS Book 3) by HAZEL STORM – Review by Chrissy Spulak

The Bow (Her Three Immortals, #3)The Bow by Hazel Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I waited patiently (sort of) for The Bow (Her Three Immortals Book 3) by Hazel Storm, and I was not disappointed. After becoming hooked by the first two (I started with 2 and then went to 1 and still enjoyed it immensely), as soon as I got my hands on Book 3, I hit the ground running with it. Vanessa is back and is sent on a mission by the mother of the God of the Underworld, who doesn’t seem to like her all that much. Due to Vanessa’s new abilities, she is the perfect one to complete this task, and we get to follow her along the way. Like the first two books, this book contains just enough steam to fog the windows and more than enough intrigue to keep you hooked until the end. This author writes vibrant and lively characters that you won’t want to miss. I highly suggest this book (and the first two, if you already haven’t read them).

Why We Don’t Die in Dreams: Book 1 by Debbie Zello – Review by Chrissy Spulak

Why we don't die in DreamsWhy we don’t die in Dreams by Debbie Zello
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Why We Don’t Die in Dreams by Debbie Zello is a thrill ride! Gavin McLean is a homicide detective who is awesome at what he does, but struggles in his life after work hours. One thing in particular, he has this recurring dream involving a naked woman being held captive with her arms on meat hooks, and all he can see of her is her backside. He really is a well-written character that you can’t help but root for. The author keeps the pages turning with each and every thrill – and includes some steamy scenes. I had no problem being sucked into this story and recommend it with five enthusiastic stars. This book keeps you guessing, but doesn’t leave you underwhelmed, either. I jumped at the paranormal theme, but figured the erotica would lessen the writing – not so. Everything about this book works together to make one great read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie is a fast read, but it is SUCH a good one. The story is set in New Mexico and centers around Mercy and the Latin American myth of La Llorona. It contains such beautiful characters and imagery that it pulled me in, and I read it straight through. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I am not sorry that I dove right in. Admittedly, this book is right up my alley, but I would recommend this book to anyone, even if they weren’t head over heels for the paranormal. I give this book 5 stars and look forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goddess of Everything: A Blood-Curdling Tale of Truth, Freedom, and Love by Paul DeBlassie III is the perfect book to read as summer turns into the spooky season. I am a fan of supernatural horror, and this book is an excellent one. Gabrie՛l de LaTierra is a psychiatric healer in Aztlan del Norte. The Orphanage of the Holy Innocents is experiencing evil. These two together make an intriguing combination when his mother, wife, and child become involved. I was fascinated by this book, and the author’s writing style. This is such a spell-binding page-turner that it was hard for me to put down. I will absolutely be visiting other books by this author. Seriously, don’t pass this one up.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spooked by a Suspicion by Risa Nyman is the second book following Rocky after his father’s suicide. In this installment, Rocky’s mother has decided to remarry a man by the name of Ted. Rocky, however, has other plans. He doesn’t very much like Ted, and he is determined to stop the wedding. With the help of Olive, his girlfriend, Rocky dodges bad luck on his mission to keep his mother from making a huge mistake. Much like the first book, young readers will be engaged by the characters of Rocky and Olive, and all the situations they come up against. I give this book 5 stars because I was, once again, swept away and could not stop reading until I was finished. A highly enjoyable read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Swallowed by a Secret by Risa Nyman is a wonderful story starring two fantastic characters: Olive and Rocky. When Rocky’s dad dies, he sets out on a mission to discover the truth behind his passing, and we are taken along for the ride. This book touches on subjects that are both interesting and relatable for young readers. I specifically appreciate this book because the subject of suicide is something that needs to be talked more about, especially with young people. Readers of all ages will appreciate and simply devour this book from beginning to end. I couldn’t put it down. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and it won’t be the last. 5 stars!

Jake the Growling Dog Shares His TrailJake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail by Samantha Shannon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail (Jake the Growling Dog Book 3) by Samantha Shannon has once again stolen my heart. Much like the first two books, book number three touches on so many good lessons for young children to learn, and shares them in a way that will resonate with anyone. When Jake fears to encounter anything new on the hiking trail that he built, he must learn that difference isn’t always bad. This book teaches children the importance of sharing and including others. This is a wonderful book series to give and share with your children, no matter how old they are. Furthermore, the author is a licensed counselor, and her background in education only adds to the credibility of this series. My daughter is one and truly enjoys looking at the colorful pictures and hearing about Jake and his friends. 5 out of 5 stars for Jake!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Chrissy Spulak

Decisions and Possibilities (Notebook Mysteries #2)Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Notebook Mysteries ~ Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins is the second book following Emma Evans and her adventures around Chicago in the 1880s. Emma, now 18, is a graduate of business school and sets out as an adult gathering a team to help her with investigations. This quick, historical mystery can be read as a standalone, but, as second books generally are, would probably be even better having begun with the first. This author has a unique way of storytelling that brings history to life and puts you right in the middle of 1883 Chicago. With a background in business herself, it is no wonder she can make business-graduate Emma come to life so well. This book is 242 pages, but it will seem like less in the end because it will grab your attention from the beginning and never let it go. I recommend reading this book, and I’ll be reading the first to go with it.

Caught by HimCaught by Him by Tammy Mannersly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caught by Him by Tammy Mannersly is a fast and very cute read! I sat down to read it and did not stop until I was done. Brody is an actor who is taking a break from his work, and Willa is taking care of her grandfather’s house – right next to Brody’s. When he catches her “breaking in” to the house, they meet and are instantly attracted. While they deal with an assistant and an ex, it is not hard to become enthralled in the story and wrapped up with these two great characters. This is my first read from this author, and I believe I found another great one to add to my list! 4 stars.

A Divided MindA Divided Mind by M. Billiter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Divided Mind by M. Billiter is the first book in her Divided Series, and let me say, I am so glad it’s only the first book. This is seriously one of the best psychological thrillers I’ve read in a long time. Experiencing this story through the eyes of Branson and his family makes for a page-turner. This book addresses mental illness as it affects an entire family and is actually believable. Watching Branson’s character change and develop through the book kept me interested and on the edge of my seat. This isn’t your typical “run-of-the-mill” story of mental illness. The way that this author puts such a unique voice into her characters makes them pop off the page. Oh, and don’t forget to read the epilogue. This book is “good till the last drop.” 5 stars.

Boy ReleasedBoy Released by J.D. Spero
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Boy Released by J.D. Spero is the second book to Boy On Hold. This book takes place ten years after the murder that Tyler, then a little boy, witnessed. He is released from a psychiatric institution and reunited with his brother, Hen, and their family. Boy Released takes on mental illness and is full of suspense and thrills. This book, like the one before it, is HARD to put down. I recommend reading the first book before this one, but even if read on its own, this book would be enjoyable. The characters are so well-written, and climbing inside Tyler’s schizophrenic mind is intriguing and this family’s story will hook you until the very end. I was swept away and came to love this family from the first book, and it was no different with this one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Journeys through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) by James Talisman is not just a great book for SciFi fans, it is a great book for any reader. I usually don’t gravitate towards this genre of writing, but, like the first book in the series, book two pulled me right in. In keeping with the first installment, book 2 is rich with character and description. The MultiVerse story follows closely the storyline of three friends (Matt, Julia, and Dan) as they work to keep Earth safe; however, running parallel, is the story of a reptilian leader on his own mission. I highly recommend reading book 1 first, as book 2 is a continuation. I found it quite helpful to already have a knowledge about the setting and characters and what drives them. I very much enjoyed falling into this author’s vibrant imagination and knack for engaging storytelling.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Potager Plot: (A Backyard Farming Series Book 5) by Vikki Walton is the fifth book in the series, and is an engaging mystery that is so fun to read! For anyone who likes gardening and figuring out who-dunnit, this is a good read – it is quick reading and keeps you on your toes. When Anne Fremont is designing gardens and finds a dead body, secrets are revealed and the characters are fun to tag along with. This is an author who is new to me, but I can see myself revisiting and exploring the first book in the series, and also delving into other series. My husband both fell asleep and then woke up to me reading this book. I couldn’t put it down! My favorite reads are the kind that make you forget reality and make you forget that you are reading, and this is definitely one of those books.

Stripped (The Stripped Series Book 1)Stripped by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stripped (The Stripped Series Book 1) by Stacy-Deanne is a compelling love triangle suspense novel. A spin-off of the Bruised series by the same author, this book follows Detective Dee of Baltimore. When a murder investigation takes her straight to her ex, she must contend, also, with the leader of a cult. All the while, she must stay true to her love Winston and, more importantly, to herself. Dee struggles with her loyalty to Winston while combating her interest in Jonathan, and she is a character you find yourself rooting for. This book will suck you right in and keep you until the very end. It is the first installment in The Stripped series, so rest assured there will be more to come! Seriously, don’t miss out on this read. The combination of romance and dealings with The Circle (Jonathan’s cult) will definitely keep your interest while satisfying your romantic side. Definitely don’t miss out on the Bruised series to get to know the characters first – however, this can be read as a standalone and enjoyed just fine.

The God (Her Three Immortals, #2)The God by Hazel Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The God by Hazel Storm is the second book in the Her Three Immortals series, and it is to die for. (See what I did there?) This second installment picks up right where the first one left off. Vanessa has been cast down to the Underworld, and Grey would rather her not be there – except she’s pretty much stuck in his penthouse in Elysium. The tension between the two is captivating. Now, I usually don’t mention how awesome character names are, but for some reason the names of these characters just make them pop off the page. Vanessa, Grey, Gordonita, Aroz, Raef…Read it for yourself and you’ll see what I mean. These names are so cool! When a character’s name is just as unique as their character is written, it just helps build that vision in my head that much more. This book is engaging and vibrant and left me wanting more, so it’s a good thing there’s another one coming. I recommend reading the first installment, as well, in order to get the full experience.

The Dream Catchers: PRESTORIA Series Book 1The Dream Catchers: PRESTORIA Series Book 1 by J.U. Menon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Dream Catchers: Prestoria series is a children’s fantasy recommended for ages 8-12, but I can assure you that all ages will enjoy it. The first installment in the series by J.U. Menon is so engrossing, that before I knew it, I was finished. Not only is this book engaging and filled with vibrant imagery, but it is so intriguing that I’m sure it could hold the attention of the most distracted child (or adult). Filled with Indian myths and folklore, the author truly takes the reader on an adventure to a dream world that will challenge the boundaries of your imagination. Our main character, Radhika, is a wonderful protagonist for young readers, and she comes across many relatable circumstances. I highly recommend this book. This will definitely be one I read to my daughter when she gets old enough to enjoy it! Can’t wait to read the second book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sign Steal Deliver: A Paranormal Chick Lit Novel (Gods of Thunder MC) by Carrie Pulkinen is straight up delightful! If you are interested in the Greek Gods and Goddesses, with a modern twist, of course, pick up this book! When Kat, a cat burglar, attracts the fancy of Hermes, the God of Thieves, at Mardi Gras, the race is on to capture not only her heart, but the item she has stolen from him. This book is full of romance and comedy, but also some intriguing characters. The Greek Gods/Goddesses in the present-day real world is so much fun and makes for a page-turner that you will find is not long enough by any means. The chemistry between Hermes and Kat is engaging and, of course, steamy. If you are looking for a hot, fun summer read to beat the heat, this one should be on your list.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Boy on Hold by JD Spero is the first installment in a psychological thriller series surrounding a young boy who sees something he was never supposed to see. Because he was a witness, is the only one to know the truth about this traumatic event. Now, his brother Tyler’s livelihood relies on him to speak out. This story will capture your attention and pull at your heartstrings; it is full of universal familial struggles, victories, and relatable, endearing characters. The story shifts through various time and perspectives but is easy to follow. If you are a fan of suspense and stories that drag you (willingly) on a rollercoaster of emotions, definitely pick this one up. Can’t wait to get my hands on the sequel!

The Third NannyThe Third Nanny by Michele Pariza Wacek
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Third Nanny (Secrets of Redemption) by Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) is the third installment in the series set in Redemption, Wisconsin, but it can completely be read as a stand-alone. It is the first book by this author I have read, and it did not take any enjoyment away from the experience. First of all, when the story is set in place called Redemption, you know the twists and turns are going to be epic. The town is described as someplace where “nothing is as it seems”, and that is not an understatement. This book kept me on my toes, and I never knew exactly where it was going. Janey takes you on a journey to find out what happened to her sister, Kelly, who had worked as a nanny in Redemption. She becomes a nanny to the same family to figure out as much of this story as she can. You will not want to stop reading until you reach the end. Read this book.

The Singer and Her Song (Empire at Twilight #2)The Singer and Her Song by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Singer and Her Song (Empire at Twilight Book 2) by N.L. Holmes is definitely a 5 star book. This author has once again taken historical fiction and combined it with intense character details, and it is amazing. Much like the first installment of the Empire at Twilight Series, The Lightning Horse, I found myself immersed in the lives of Uqnitum, a singer from the kingdom of Mitanni, and her family. When she loses part of her family when the Assyrians attack, she and her daughter must set out on a journey that will test their wills and characters. I love the fact that the author is an actual archaeologist! It’s an amazing thing when someone who is well-educated in the history they are writing about can mingle the past with the modern to create wonderfully relatable characters. Despite taking place so far in the past, the characters display facets of the human condition that transcends time and touches on those details that we all have experienced during one time or another. I highly recommend reading what this author has to offer, if you haven’t yet.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Houses of Deception (The Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series Book 6) by Cynthia Hamilton is totally a book you could read without having read the first five books in the series. The novel itself is fast-paced and draws you in from the first page. The characters are compelling, and it was very easy to fall right into their world and believe it. The chemistry of Madeline and Mike is intriguing and makes the story captivating. If you are into mysteries with tons of action, this is definitely a good one. I was held ransom by the suspense and found myself trying to solve each case. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and you can bet I’m going to go back and read the previous five. I give this book four stars!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lines by Leon: Poems, Prose, and Pictures by Leon Stevens is a delightful compilation of images built with words. The author makes good use of all the senses, and I found myself stepping into these little “snapshots” of life and becoming fully immersed. It has been quite a while since I have found a collection that has rekindled my appreciation of good poetry. The poems are relatable and poignant, and yet there is an essence of light humor wound through. There are also sketches sprinkled purposefully throughout to add even more to this read. The structure the author uses makes the words flow seamlessly together; before I knew it, I was finished and left wanting much more. Lines by Leon is very easy to read, but stimulating to the mind, and I recommend picking this one up. 4 stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

T.S. Simons has done it again. Caim, the fourth installment of the Antipodes series, is a continuation of the rollercoaster that has been Cam’s life since book one.
In Lewis, Cam and Freyja are living their best lives together until some news surfaces, and they are forced to leave the comfort of their current lives behind. Why are they the chosen ones? Things come crashing down, and it is up to them to figure out why. Above all, not everything is as it seems. Whether you are looking for some action, drama, friendship, romance, or twists and turns, Caim has it all. I definitely recommend reading the first three books in this series to get the full effect, but also the story just gets better with every installment. 4 out of 5 stars. Bring on book 5!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Journeys through SpaceTime (Book 1) by James Talisman is an intense page turner! This isn’t a typical genre of book for me to pick up, but I am sure glad I did! This book is so engrossing that it is hard to believe it’s a debut novel. It is quite obvious that the author planned and fleshed out his ideas and plot-line in order to make it not only good, but believable as well.
There are several different narratives weaved together, and each one is compelling and unique. I find the story itself to be so interesting, and I love how each character believes and experiences similar things, and yet they are so completely different. Like I said, this story is intense and there is a lot going on straight from the get go, but if you hang with it, it’s totally worth it. That being said, it is not hard at all to get swept up with each character because they are described so well. All in all, the entire novel is well-written, well-planned, and well-executed. I am stoked to get my hands on the next installment and give a 5 star recommendation to this book and author.

Manifested DreamsManifested Dreams by Yvonne Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Manifested Dreams by Dr. Yvonne Johnson is a book I recommend to EVERYONE. It is a quick read; it is not even 50 pages in length and took me less than an hour to devour.
I am intrigued by American History and appreciate all the historical connections that each character’s letters entailed. I found myself taking notes to further educate myself on each and every event that was mentioned. If I was still teaching American Literature, I would definitely be seeking the author’s permission to use this book as a supplemental tool alongside works such as To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
Each letter is from a first person perspective that pulls the reader directly into the characters’ heads, making these stories an experience, rather than lecture. Having these specific personal accounts makes the past come alive and points out how racism and inequality is ABSOLUTELY still an issue in this country, even if it is swept under the rug and denied. Manifested Dreams follows an American family’s journey from the Civil War era to the present. As a fan of Alex Haley’s Roots, I practically inhaled this short book and was left wanting so much more. I have a profound appreciation and respect for this author and will be purchasing more copies for others. I highly recommend this book with 5 stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chatroom with a View is the first book I’ve picked up by author Glenn Maynard. It is a mile-a-minute read that will instantly intrigue any true crime fans. I grew up fascinated with the story of Lizzie Borden, and it hooked me from the start. I did not need much time to finish this book because I really could not bear to put it down. I’m really into psychology and the reasons behind why people do the things they do; reading about each character, their thoughts, and their actions was so interesting to me because they’re all unique and really complex. The author’s writing is so twisty and turny that it almost makes you dizzy (but in a GOOD way). No spoilers, but the ending fell just a little flat for me – I walked away feeling just a tad underwhelmed, but overall, I have to give this book 4 stars and my recommendation.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Y’all, I found my new favorite author.

Tangled Roots (Witches of Willow Creek: Tangled Magic Series Book 1) by Denise D. Young has captured my fancy and is not letting go. Anyone who is a fan of time travel stories (like Outlander) and witchy fiction (such as Practical Magic) will fall in love with this story, which is set in the small town of Willow Creek, Virginia.
Cassie Gearhart is a fantastic female protagonist and an easy character to relate to, even if she is a witch who has been asleep for 45 years. And then there’s Nick; the grandson of Cassie’s former High Priestess, and the only witch left alive to represent the coven. The author is an artist the way she weaves 1974 and 2019 together via Cassie. The imagery and details are rich and poignant, and Tangled Fates, book number 2, is next on my to-be-read list. I highly recommend this book and author with 5 stars!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Rise Of Manifesto The Great (Planet Hy Man) by Kerrie Noor is very fast-paced and very funny! I appreciate a good satire and this held my attention to the very end. This book is the first of three prequels to the Planet Hy Man book, which I had never heard of before picking this up. Thus far, this planet has remained pure. The latest group to arrive on Planet Hy Man are ready for real experiences. When Manifesto the Great takes power, he has to find his stride and learn to control the women. The comedy and spoof that follows is a tickle to the funny bone. As I said, I love a good satire, especially when there are some kick-ass characters involved. Even if this isn’t the typical type of book for you to dive into, I recommend that you do, anyway. I recommend this book for some good chuckles, and I’ve been inspired to travel again to Planet Hy Man and to visit more works by Kerrie Noor.

Motherland (The Tom Grant Series Book 3) by Samantha Adair is the third installment in the Tom Grant series, and I have to say, it can’t get more action-packed than this! First of all, I love Isabella. She is the strong female protagonist I always look for. And Tom is the genuinely great supporting guy that balances her out. To fulfill her father’s wishes, Isabella returns his ashes to his home country and action and suspense ensue. This has all the components of a great action/romance thriller, and it was hard to put down and get back to reality. I have not read the first two books in this series, but they are absolutely on my list now. This can be read by itself, but I assume it will only be better if you read them in sequence. Seriously, don’t miss out on this series. 4 out of 5 stars!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Turning Wheels (Satan’s Devils MC #1) by Manda Mellett is the first book in this series. I was not familiar with this author, but took a leap, and I am glad I did. The main character, Sophie, is endearing and relatable as they come, and her story is definitely an original twist on the everyday romance. The author’s way of telling Sophie’s story is interesting and vivid and keeps the pages turning. You really don’t know what is going to happen next! The juxtaposition of Sophie and Wraith make this a very steamy, very intriguing romance story that kept me hooked until the very end. I love these two characters together. This is not a book you want to pick up at bed time to “wind down.” Unless you really just want to keep reading until you hear the birds sing, then go ahead!! This is really a great read. 5 stars.
