Class ClownClass Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is not my usual genre to read. I find stories like this too much for me sometimes, but I thought I’d give it a go.
I’m glad that I tried it because it was a fantastic story following a 14-year-old Abbey and her paranormal abilities.

I did not realise that this story was one in a series, so I am glad to know that I can go back and read what happened before this part of her life. Before I found this out, I did feel like there was a few gaps at the beginning – but it can still be read as a first if you want to!

I enjoyed her ‘side story’ through sports too. A weird thing to point out? Maybe, but not enough stories for the younger reading age has girls doing sports! The realistic high school drama was the thing that grounded the story for me.

Like many others, I enjoyed reading about the different characters, but feel that there is definitely more to explore!

(UN)Loved (Mixed Emotions Series) by Katy Hunter – Review by Christina Simpson

(Un)Loved (Mixed Emotions, #1)(Un)Loved by Katy Hunter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A gripping romance story that draws you into every character that crosses the page.
I really liked this novel, it is right up my alley. Romance, adventure and humour!
The characters are well developed throughout, and my favourite character has got to be ‘Tornado’ (no spoilers!).

The reason for the 4 stars is because, for me, I enjoy cliff hangers throughout stories – which I thought this one was a tiny bit lacking. Additionally, the ending was a bit predictable, but abrupt – each to their own.

(Un)Loved seems to be a one-off story, but there is definitely room for the story to continue. I also think this would make an amazing Christmas film adaptation!

The Billionaire’s Slave by Stacy-Deanne – Review by Christina Simpson

The Billionaire's Slave: Steamy Historical BWWM RomanceThe Billionaire’s Slave: Steamy Historical BWWM Romance by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fifty shades of the 1800’s!

This standalone steamy story walks the reader through the times of 1864 when slaves were kept as property. I was interested when reading this, to hear a different perspective of person in this setting – not a white, rich person, but not exactly a completely ‘hardshipped’ slave.

It follows Penny (with a very high sex-drive) falling in love with her master Leon Falcon and how they navigate a rocky relationship, with a few twists and hurdles. Although a standalone story, it does leave room for more to be explored in this world, so who knows might come next.

I don’t usually go for historically based novels, but I really enjoyed reading it and feel that it would be a great introduction to this genre of stories!

Sinful Vow (Dark Mafia Sins, book 1) by Emily Bowie – Review by Christina Simpson

Sinful Vow (Dark Mafia Sins, #0.5)Sinful Vow by Emily Bowie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Steamy, action-packed and gripping! This book has it all. Sinful Vow follows a “forbidden” steamy love story, but is equally so much more. It explores betrayal, trauma and emotional turmoil through the eyes of top mafia families. I loved this story from the very start, I could not put it down! Particularly, I really liked the balance between sexy and action. Additionally, I became quite invested in the characters as they were very well developed throughout the story.

There was nothing that I disliked about this story, only that I want to read more about the timeline gaps early on. Although, this doesn’t impact the plot at all. Overall, this story was perfect for me. If you are a fan of complex love stories with twists and turns along the way, then this book is for you! I cannot wait to read what comes next.
