Black Cat Security by Katerina Ross – Review by Cindy Rushin

Black Cat SecurityBlack Cat Security by Katerina Ross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel for me was a bit different. Although it was a paranormal novel, it came with a bit of a twist. Dragomir’s journey to learning how to control his curse was unique. The method use was different but, in the end, proved effective. If you are looking for some intense drama and not afraid to be adventuresome, then this is the book for you. Katerina Ross has a way with words and her story was delightful to read.

I really enjoyed this book. As the love story of Rylie and Mason progressed I found myself looking forward to a happy ending.

The Fat Girl’s Guide to Loving Your Body by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Cindy Rushin

The Fat Girl's Guide to Loving Your BodyThe Fat Girl’s Guide to Loving Your Body by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The book helped me to look at myself in a different way. K.L. Montgomery takes on all of the old norms of what a woman should look like. As long as you are willing to put in the work journaling and be honest K.L. Montgomery’s book can help to make a change in how you think of yourself and how you view others. It is not an easy read or an easy concept, but it is definitely worth taking the journey. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to love themselves a little more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The second installment of this epic spiritual journey was very good. The journey continued for the different groups and the interconnectivity of their journeys was even more pronounced. I found myself vested in each person’s story and rooting for each of them at they battled their war and completed their journey. This series combines fantasy and spirituality to produce the just the right balance for me. I loved this story and I am looking forward to continuing the journey and cannot wait for the next installment.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne (Book 3) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Cindy Rushin

Magic-Borne (The Crown of Stones, #3)Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The final book in C.L. Schneider’s trilogy was fantastic. As Ian Troy’s journey came to an end, I cried, I was that vested in his story. This heroic novel had many ups and downs, but the journey was so worth it. C.L. Schneider once again reached, for me, the status of J.R.R. Tolkien and George R.R. Martin. She is that good. This is an author I will follow and I look forward to the next journey.

The second installment into the continuing journey of Ian Troy did not disappoint. The epic adventure just keeps getting better. C.L.

This epic adventure was a great continuation of Ian Troy’s story and C.L. Schneider’s dynamic world. I look forward to the final installment.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The initial introduction into the life of Ian Troy was epic. It brought to my mind stories like JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings Trilogy. As I proceeded on the journey with Ian Troy I was left in awe of this author’s imagination. The story captured my attention and I enjoyed the journey. The ending was dramatic and left me wanting more. I look forward to the next installment and cannot wait to continue the journey.

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2)Hang On To Your Shirt Tails by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The second installment of the story of Tails and Brodie was definitely too short. It felt good getting reacquainted with old friends and learning more about their life together, but it ended too soon. If you are looking for a shifter series with a cool twist, the I highly recommend this one. Really, anything by this author has been a joy to read and I can honestly say I think you will enjoy.

Draigon Weather (The Legacies of Arnan Book 1) by Paige L. Christie – Review by Cindy Rushin

Draigon Weather (The Legacies of Arnan, #1)Draigon Weather by Paige L. Christie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I do love novels about dragons, but when I first started this book, I was a little lost. But, as I persevered, I found my way. The story of Leiel and Cleod was epic and I am glad I persevered. I love a good adventure with heroes and heroines, which Draigon Weather had. As you read you enjoy the duel, but separate path Leiel and Cleod take. These paths place them exactly where they need to be. The story was intriguing and fun to read. I look forward to the next installment to  follow Leiel’s and Cleod’s journey and how it plays out.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Four Horseman series and it did not disappoint. The story of Uriel and Veronica had some really interesting twists and turns as they found their way to each other. I really enjoyed following them on the journey. As for this series, each new story adds more pieces to the puzzle of what Dante is looking for. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series so that I can, hopefully, find the answer. I am never disappointed with a C.A. King novel and I do not think you will be either. I do recommend this book.

This second installment of the Four Horseman novels was worth waiting for. As we meet the main character Ryder, he really touches the heart as the reader is given glimpses into the hardships he endured in his life. Once he meets Gabrielle, seeing the struggles they go through just to find happiness in the end made this book a very interesting read I look forward to future books in this series not only to find out how it ends, but to see all four horseman find love.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This really was an interesting book. A ghost story with a twist. When I started reading Of Way and Tators, I was a little leary. The beginning just did not grab my attention. But, as I continued reading my interest was peaked and I became engaged in the story. The many twists and turns grabbed my attention and I found myself wanting to know how it would end. I really recommend Of War and Tators, you will not be disappointed.

Evil SushiEvil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read a few novels by this author and once again she did not disappoint me. For me, Evil Sushi was almost a commentary on what life on earth could be like if we continue on our current path, minus the murderous sea monster of course. Evil Sushi has everything every good fantasy novel needs. It has suspense, a villain, a hero, and love. I cannot wait for the next installment of this series. If you are wanting a fun read, I gladly recommend Evil Sushi.

This book has it all. Gods, Demons, major conflict, and love. The initial story of the four horsemen, Uri, Gabby, Raphael, and Michael starts out with a bang. This story focused on Michael and Tara and it was good. Watching them fall in love, having to overcome the many problems was a joy, I love happy endings. I look forward to the future novels and each of the other horsemen find their love as well.

A Perfect FitA Perfect Fit by Zoe Lee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have not read a romance novel in a really long time but decided to give this novel by Zoe Lee a try. I was not disappointed. The story of Dunk and Daisy was so real. It was at the base, a love story between Dunk and Daisy, but it also dealt with the reality of making a relationship work between two very different people. For me it felt real as it did not only deal with the romance but also with problems that can come up as you try to build a relationship. This book was real and I definitely recommend it.

Another good book by this author. I always like reading shifter books with a twist. Something that is a little different than the norm. And this one did not disappoint. There was enough drama and twists in the story to make it interesting and not at all predictable. It also included a bit of romance, which I like. Dangerously Close to Extinction is definitely worth a read and I look forward to reading more from C.A. King.

The FloodThe Flood by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t usually read this genre of books anymore. A book which has a main focus on a psychopathic person seeking revenge on others. That being said, I found The Flood: A Novel to be a good read. It brought back for me memories of reading Stephen King when I was younger. The book set a good pace and kept my interest. The twist and turns it gook kept me guessing on how it was going to end. Meghan O’Flynn definitely has a future and I look forward to seeing more from her.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One genre that I really enjoy is books that are about the supernatural, including shifters. I find them interesting. So, as I began this book, I was curious to find out how this book by C.A. King would explore this genre and would there be anything new and surprising that I had not seen before. I was pleasantly surprised, this author did manage to introduce something new into the mix. For me, it was too short. I wanted it to go further. I will be on the look out for the next installment of this universe because C.A. King left me wanting more.

Love Me, DreamyLove Me, Dreamy by Laura Burton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I tend to read books that sound interesting based on the synopsis offered to entice the reader and Love Me, Dreamy by Laura Burton sounded intriguing. I must admit at the beginning of the book I was a little lost, for me it was not making a lot of sense. My initial thought was where is she going with this story of Toby and Amelia. The more I got into the story, although I was still confused, I was also intrigued. I wanted to complete the journey and find out where the author was taking me. I was not disappointed. Love Me, Dreamy kept my attention and the ending was a surprise. I will definitely look for more books by this author in the future

I had not read any other books by this author, but I am always looking for my next fix when it comes to my next reading adventure. When reading the synopsis of the book, it sounded interesting especially since I have always had an interest in mythology from a very young age. The book did not disappointment me. The story was interesting and kept attention from the beginning to the end. The story of Merope and Orion is one that you will not be able to put down. It is an enjoyable read.
