Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book #2 Blood Oath
Amy McKinley did it again with book 2 of this intriguing series! Full of page turning drama & suspense that will leave you on the edge of your seat, anxious to see what happens next!

Enzo Vitale and Sofia La Rosa, while touched upon in Book 1, Ms. McKinley made this breathtaking couple the primary focus of book 2 in the series. Enzo & Sofia, grew up in the complex mafia world as best friends all through childhood. It was only natural that the pair would develop a great degree of love for each other as they grew older. Unfortunately, circumstances and an unspoken rule had always kept them apart as lovers. With past secrets brimming at the surface, Sofia finds herself thrown into Enzo’s welcoming arms. Enzo has always considered himself Sofia’s protector and will stop at nothing to keep her safe—even if by being with him, a huge target is painted on her back. Will their love that began in childhood be strong enough to whether the storm, when family secrets resurface and threaten to tear them a part? Fast paced, action packed, steamy thriller engages all the senses.
While Book 1 of this series left me on the edge of my seat, I was shocked that book 2 could compare to or even surpass the romantic suspense and energy found within the first one!

Stalking the Stalker (Valley View Mysteries Book 2) by Laura Hawks – Review by Michelle Austin

Stalking the StalkerStalking the Stalker by Laura Hawks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stalking the Stalker was a thrilling 5 star read and book two in the Valley View Mysteries series.
I was pulled in right from the beginning with a murder in the prolugue. We then go back two weeks prior. We get drama, secrets, mystery, etc.

Tyler Channing comes to Valley View for a production, things take a twist when his stalker also shows up. An investigation starts when a body is discovered. I really loved the fact that it kept me guessing throughout the whole book on who the murdered could be. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story.

I was drawn in by Laura Hawks writing and I couldn’t stop until I was done. If your looking for a murder mystery that pulls you in this is the book for you. 1-click and get started today.

4 Stars

This is I believe my 2nd book by this author and I truly did enjoy it..It had a lot of moving parts and I got confused a couple times but was able to catch back on pretty quick. I also thought I had it all figured out like 10 times lol only to be wrong 9 of them.

Poor Louise was a complete mess LOL and her poor daughter Mackenzie, I loved her character and how she handled everything that was happening with her Mom, her Dad and just everything involved.

This was a great story and I became invested quite early and read it in one sitting. This would have been a 5 star book for me had I not lost the story a couple times but like I said I caught back up pretty quick.

I am definitely looking forward to more books from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Stalking the Stalker (Valley View Mysteries Book 2) by Laura Hawks, 5 stars.

This is a great mystery whodunit that caught me by surprise in the beginning and kept surprising me the whole way through. First off, it leads with the death first. I love this concept. The author does not draw things out, making us wait. Boom, murder first. Then we go back in time leading up to the murder, then finally afterwards and the investigation. If have read mysteries like this before, some of them where not nearly as clean as this one. But the author does this so well. The victim herself wasn’t really innocent and became someone most people couldn’t even imagine. Now it comes to the suspects. The more Detective Mitchell looks into it, the higher the suspect list becomes.

A whodunnit at heart, there is also possible love blossoming along the way to make this even more intriguing. The people are great too, every one different, and many have motives. I didn’t guess who it was until the end. This is also the type of book that makes you feel torn about the victim. Yes, she was murdered, but she was doing some pretty crazy things. But was she really crazy or did something drive her to it? I believe you could sit down and argue about her for a long time. Which again, make this book all the better.

A shorter read, I finished this book in one night. If you are a fan of whodunit mysteries, this book is definitely for you. I cannot wait to read the next one.

Stalking the Stalker (Valley View Mysteries Book 2) by Laura Hawks. Ok so let me just start by saying wow what a ride. This author knows how to keep the readers guessing and on our toes. Every time I thought I’d figured out something bam a new turn! It was incredible. There’s so much this book has to offer from the mystery and suspense to the drama that unfolds for these characters. I love this authors attention to even the smallest details. The storyline is well written and paced just right, I never felt rushed or that it was lacking anything. I was honestly on the edge of my seat the entire story and I couldn’t put it down. The characters all bring something unique to move the story along. I was completely lost in the world the author created. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stalking the Stalker is the second book in the Valley View Mysteries series from Laura Hawks. I haven’t read the first yet and it didn’t affect my ability to enjoy this story so it would appear they are solid stand alone novels as well. I will go back eventually and check out book one while I await the release of book three.

Laura Hawks writes some cute mystery novels. I find hers to be less focus on the gritty details and scary side of mysteries and keeps things fun and light hearted even with the detailed and mysterious storyline. I liked that I was able to read a mystery and not feel heavy while doing so.

Tyler Channing is in Valley View for a production that he is set to star in. Things do not go as planned when a stalker makes themselves known to the town. Add in a body and Detective Mitchell and you have a nice set up for a murder mystery to take you away for a few hours.

This little mystery is an easy quick to read story. But don’t be fooled, it packs a powerful punch. It’s an intriguing little story with many suspects, turns, twists and surprises. Thought I had it figured then changed my mind, then changed my mind again. Romance but not the steamy kind, just very sweet and touching. But the best thing for me is the deeper story that Laura Hawks is giving us in Stalking the Stalker. Pick this one up, I think you will like it.

I loved reading this book. It pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let go until the final page. It has a mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat and wondering what will happen next. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Detective Caleb and Mackenzie. Their characters are one of the reasons that I enjoyed the story. Who killed Louise Harper? With so many suspects will the killer be caught? Read this book to find out. Many of the additional characters I enjoyed reading about. Then there are those who I didn’t know what to think of them or their intentions. The story made me feel like I was right there with the characters and following the clues with Detective Caleb. I couldn’t put the book down. It has believable characters and a wonderful storyline. I highly recommend reading it.

Stalking the Stalker (Valley View Mysteries Book 2) by Laura Hawks is engaging and mysterious. The story is well written and nicely paced. There are a lot of characters and any one of them could have done it. It is a whodunnit detective story with lots of lies and deceit, secrets and drama, stalker and murder. One woman’s crazy and lies that could be true and one murderer that you didn’t see coming.

If you want something to read that will keep you glued to the pages, then give this story a read.

What a great read! Had me guessing until the end.
We follow a few people in this book, but it wasn’t confusing even without headers to say who was talking as you could figure it out with the transitions in place.
A murder has happened and no one know who exactly did it. Through the clues and evidence it points to a couple people but with more digging we find they were right under our nose the whole time. Kept me gripping my kindle to the very end.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Fisher Men On the X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey is the third book in the Fisher Men Series.

I loved this book and think it’s now my favorite one in the series but I have loved them all. I have said it before and I’ll say it again, I love all of the Fisher Men!

There is so much we learn about Zack and Becca both in this book. Their back stories were riveting and I knew then I was hooked (see what I did there?) on these two.

This is the first in the series to make me cry and I cried more than once and promptly got picked on by my husband for crying over characters in a book even though I know for a fact he has done the same.

I’m so excited for the next book in this series, but I’m hoping this isn’t won’t be the end of the Fisher Boys and their lives. I hope these guys continue to speak with the author because I know I won’t be ready to let them go any time soon.

Stalking the Stalker is the second book in the Valley View Mystery series by Laura Hawks. I have really enjoyed my time with this book. It has a great twisty whodunit quality to the mystery, with suspense, drama, intrigue, and more. The ‘stalker’ element of the story gave it an added intrigue, whilst the cleverly crafted mystery kept me guessing.
As always, Ms. Hawks drew me into her book and held my attention right through till the end. I was so caught up in the story that I read it in one sitting. I liked that it was a little different from her other books, but done with the same well-written, tight, and detailed style.
Tyler Channing came to Valley View to play his part in the stage production being held in town. Unfortunately, his psychotic stalker happens to be in town as well. But when her body is found, Detective Mitchell will need to utilize all his investigative skills if he’s to close this case. Secrets are uncovered, and several possible suspects are identified- Tanner included. So, what really happened? Whodunit? And why?
Well worth the read to find out.

Thank you, Ms. Hawks!

I absolutely loved this entire series and this book of course, was no different. This book can be read as a stand-alone but in order to get a better grasp on the characters and backstories, I would recommend reading the previous books. I was hooked from page one and couldn’t read this book fast enough. I most definitely recommend this book and series!!!!!

Fisher Men on the X was a great 5 star read.
Boy where to start with this review, I loved it and didn’t want it to end.
This is Becca and Zack’s story.

Becca and Zack met when she was 7 years old, Zack made a commitment to always keep Becca safe. When Zack left, Becca felt abandoned and was heartbroken. When Becca was sent away to learn how to be a woman, Zack and his family rescued her.

From there the story takes so many directions my head was spinning. Becca goes through several learning phases, once she becomes an adult she decides to join the military. Throughout the years Becca and Zack are very close. Zack has always kept Becca at arms length, until one day things between them change.

Lost girls can be found

These two are so perfect for each other. They have the same strength and have scars they are working to get past. My emotions were all over the place. I think my favorite LOL moment was when all the women got drunk, it was classic. If your looking for a great read with some great characters you grow to love very quickly than 1-click and get started on this one. I am definitely putting it on my 2019 must read list.

The Fisher Men On the X (Fisher Men Book III) by Rebel Nicks O’Dey was impossibly to put down! I would give this book a five out of five stars. After reading the second book I just had to jump in and see what else could happen in this universe. I have to say this book took me on a journey I did not expect and I could not put the book down. I did not expect to feel as much as I did for these two characters. I enjoyed the plot immensely and I feel like I would be rereading this book multiple times in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to say that this is my favorite book in the Fisher Men series by author Rebel Nicks O’Dey. On the X was the first book in the series that I wasn’t totally lost reading. The style of the author’s writing seems to be progressing nicely and it’s making it easier to follow along. If you are starting this series it is necessary to read the first two books before this one, probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to read the interconnecting series about the Fisher sister and friends either. I loved Zack and Becca, Becca was a true hero, forged in fire and set in stone. Zack was exactly who she needed him to be for her to become the strong woman she was. There were many scenes where I laughed, cried and cheered this book had it all and it was a pleasure to read it. I look forward to the next book in the series to see how Morgan makes out and if we will ever find out who the casual observer is. I have an idea but I could be wrong!

Rebel Nicks O’Dey has done it again with another brilliant addition to this series, each book continues to get better and better, these books can be read as a standalone but as we get previous characters brought in this one its nice to read them as a series, but to be honest why wouldn’t you want to read the whole series, its one amazing series!

This book has action, adventure, suspense, romance & and an incredible storyline that leaves you wanting more. You get captivated from page one from the amazing characters that you can’t help but connect with and love, but also the amazing storyline that Rebel Nicks O’Dey creates.

I loved reading Becca & Zack’s story with their great chemistry and the journey they take from their past to the present. I can’t wait for more from this author! I’ll eagerly be awaiting the next one, so you definitely don’t want to miss any.

Wow! What can I say about The Fisher Men On The X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey? First thing – this book needs to come with a ‘tissues required’ warning. My heart was breaking a few times during this book. I have to say that a much as I loved the 2 previous books in this series, this one really blew it out of the water. It’s definitely my favourite so far.
This book can be read as a standalone but in my opinion I think the reader would get much more from the story by reading books 1 and 2 first. They are excellent books too so that’s an added bonus.
In this book it is the turn of the other twin, Zack to have his story told and it’s one hell of a story. Zack is so broken that you just want to envelop him in a huge hug (although he wouldn’t actually like that). He is just the sweetest guy and my heart broke for him so many times.
Becca is the badass feisty woman that he first met as a young girl when he was captured into the Seh (a religious cult) as a teenager. The book takes us though the stages of Becca growing older and becoming the amazing woman she was destined to be.
Be prepared to be taken on a roller coaster of emotions as you go through this book. It is most definitely a page turner that will have you on the edge of your seat.
I loved that we got to see the other Fisher Men and their significant others and friends and got to catch up with them. We also got a little teaser of what’s to come next and I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the final Fisher Man.

Fisher Men On the X (Book III)Fisher Men On the X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

THE FISHER MEN ON THE X is book 3 in the series and is listed as a stand-alone. I really recommend reading the first two books in the series before this one. I read books 1 and 2 a bit ago and it took me until about 50% through to not feel unsettled and like I was only seeing parts of the story. Don’t get me wrong, the story in Book 3 is fantastic, it was just all the other characters and back stories that kept me on my toes. It is told in a dual POV with minimum flashbacks to set the stage. The story moves at a pretty good pace and I love that the roles are reversed and supported as much as if they were gender normative.

This is Zach Fisher’s story and as I was reading, it felt like I’d read his character before. Something about the way he tattoos with his tongue out. Well of course I’d read this before because his twin was in Book 1 and describes the motion. THAT’S I mean about how it was a little tough to piece together for a while.

The healing that takes place in this story is breathtaking. The respect given to the entire process. These are my favorite quotes in the story:

“There is value in every person who graces your life, even if it’s for the briefest of moments.”
“I survived before I could live, so this is nothing.”

This book was so movingly beautiful in certain scenes – I cried; Other times I chuckled.

Xander was book 1
Connor was book 2
Zach was book 3
Morgan is going to be book 4

I will go back and at least peruse the first 3 before I pick up book 4.

This author has snuck up on me and quickly become a favorite…I loved this book!! Might be my favorite of all three but not by much because they were all amazing.

It took me a bit when i started to shake off the confusion and figure out what was going on but once I did I was caught, hook, line, and sinker. Could not put it down and already want to go back and read them all again.

It says this can be read as a standalone…Trust me when I say you do not want to do that. All 3 of these need to be read in order to get the full and complete picture …These characters are in all of them and Nonna is still my absolute favorite of the entire bunch.

This one hit ALL the feels, I laughed, I got seriously angry, I was saddened many times and it may sound funny but I felt proud of our little Becca, what she did with her life was amazing and I had to laugh at how clueless she was on so many things yet held the strength and bravery of many men. I straight up fell in love with Zach, and learning of the history of these two characters made this story that much better. I love the family aspect of these books and when the Fisher Men get together it is LOL funny.

I can not recommend this book along with the first 2 books highly enough…One Click them all…I can not wait for the next in this series and I hope it’s not the end, there has to be a way to continue the Fisher Men story!

Loved It!!

OMG! Could this series get any better!!! Rebel Nicks O’Dey keeps upping the anti with each instalment and the details just seem to get more intriguing and more riveting! After reading the first two books, and knowing the characters- I wasn’t sure how Ms. Nicks O’Dey would pull this story off. But she definitely did- with a bang! I am so hooked on her stories- I have developed a serious addiction that I am in no hurry to cure. I can’t believe I waited so long before finally diving into her books. Lesson learned, that’s for sure!!!
The Fisher Men On the X is the third fantastic instalment in the Fisher Men Series by Rebel Nicks O’Dey. The story has been woven with plenty of suspense, a little mystery, steamy scenes, action, adventure, surprising developments, twists, secrets, drama, intrigue, tension, danger, emotion, and romance.
As I have said before, I love how this story/series focuses on an individual brother/couple- but also how there is a bridging story that plays out at the same time. There are so many intricate and interconnected details woven through the storyline- I can really appreciate how much attention to detail, planning, thought, heart, and soul that Ms. Nicks O’Dey has put into her work. Nothing has been left to chance- even the smallest detail seems to play a vital role in the course of the storyline.
In this book Zack Fisher meets his match, and secrets are revealed- as we follow along on this intense ride. Becca had escaped a cult where she was to be sold as a child bride. She’s now stronger, smarter, and tougher than the frightened girls she was. She’s a deadly, government-trained assassin determined to go through with her plan. What has she got planned? What part does Zack play in it all? Where do the Fisher Men fit into the story? Has she accounted for life, and love? You really should read the story and discover all the intriguing developments for yourself. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
I can not wait to continue this series! Bring on Book Four!!!
Awesome job!

Thank you, Rebel Nicks O’Dey!

The Fisher Men X My Heart is the first book in the Fisher Men Series by Rebel Nicks O’Dey. This is my first read from Ms. Nicks O’Dey, and I must confess that I really wasn’t sure I would like this book- let alone love it. I had seen it advertised a few times, but hadn’t jumped to one-click it, as I had sooooo many books on my TBR pile. But after seeing some great reviews- my curiosity was piqued, and I wanted to find out what I had been missing. So, here I am, late to the party- and kicking myself that I didn’t get on board this great series when I first saw it. I have been missing out by not having this author and her sublime books in my life much sooner than now. Because this book, series, and author- are truly fantastic!!! I am so impressed by what an incredibly talented storyteller Rebel Nicks O’Dey has proved herself to be. This book/series is one of my favourite reads for the year, for sure.
This story has so much going on in it, in a great way. From secrets, to suspense, a little mystery, plenty of steam, chemistry, drama, intrigue, tension, danger, emotion, romance, and so much more. I was pulled into the story from the very beginning and couldn’t tear myself away. I read the book in one sitting because I found it difficult to put down, even for a minute. I was so immersed in the story- so invested in the characters and the outcome of the story- that I really NEEDED to know how the story played out- so I devoured the book over the course of the afternoon/evening and loved every minute. I loved the storyline, characters, and Ms. Nicks O’Dey’s writing style so much that I read the first 3 books back-to-back! And WOW- colour me impressed! I am in love with the story- and completely enthralled by the wonderful characters. I wanted to be part of the group, hang out and banter with them, and become a part of their lives. This is how real and believable these characters and their story are- they made me want to be part of their ‘world’. And holy hotness- every single one of the Fisher Men have now joined my book boyfriend harem!!!
When Samantha Reynolds moved next door to the Fisher family as a young teenager, she didn’t fully appreciate (at the time) how important the brothers would become to her, how much she would need and appreciate each and every one. She couldn’t possible predict the traumatic event that would cement their relationship- where the Fisher Men make a pact to protect her- a pact of friendship that stood the test of time. Each one playing their part. Morgan, Connor, Xander, and Zack give her the strength to move forward and live her life. But there was always one brother who was imbedded into her heart much deeper than the rest. Now she’s an adult, just finished college- and headed back to their hometown, determined to claim her man. Has she waited too long? Will he feel the same way? What happens when pacts are tested, deals are made, and secrets are revealed? Will she win her man- or lose them all? Throw in some danger, and I’m on the edge of my seat devouring every word- caught up in the developments. I really recommend reading this fantastic story to find out all the intriguing details for yourself. Don’t be like me and turn up late to this incredible ‘party’- you’ll regret not doing it sooner!
The story is funny- with witty touches throughout the story. The banter, quips and antics had me smiling, and then laughing out loud. This helped balance the intense, emotional parts of the story which had me holding my breath, or really tugged at my heartstrings. The camaraderie between the brothers, and between them, Sam, their friends, and family, was captured so well. It was what made me want to be part of their ‘group’.
I could go on and on about this book- but I still wouldn’t be able to do it the justice it deserves. It’s one of those books you really should read yourself to find out how fantastic it really is. Rebel Nicks O’Dey has earned herself a place at my ‘favourite author’ table- and I will most definitely be devouring the rest of the series- as well as exploring every other book/series in her catalogue of work.
Brilliant!

Thank you, Rebel Nicks O’Dey!

The Fisher Men On the X (Fisher Men Book III) by Rebel Nicks O’Dey – Review by Kerry Carr

Fisher Men On the X (Book III)Fisher Men On the X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an amazing adventure from start to finish.

Becca grew up in a Seh. Where she was groomed to become a wife. When she was 7 the group kidnapped a young boy who was part of the fishermen family, (this was payback for the Fishermen taking a girl from their group) the two kids formed a bond and to save Becca Zack said he will marry her.
Zack escapes the group but leaves Becca behind where her father sends her out into the world to come back pregnant.

Zack and the Fishermen family find out and save her.

Then starts a rollercoaster ride of love, anger, amazing strength and sadness. Can Becca and Zack fix each other and mend the damage the Seh did to them or is the damage to much to come back from?

Fisher Men On the X (Book III)Fisher Men On the X by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fisher Men On the X (Fisher Men Book 3) by Rebel Nick O’Dey is on fire. I loved the other books but this may have been my favourite so far. I loved it, it has everything and then some. The characters are very tangible and real and you feel everything right along with them and become very invested with them. I went through a gamut of feelings reading this one from happy to sad, angry and disbelief and back again and yes there were tears. Rebel very cleverly through in some curveballs that I didn’t see coming and she is a very talented writer and this series proves that without a doubt.

Becca was rescued from the cult, seh and helped along the way by the Fisher Men. There was only one way to keep her safe and one man did everything he could to ensure that happened but was willing to stand back and let her learn what she needed on her own but was only a step away.

Zack decided years ago that he would do whatever it took to keep his little best friend safe, and give her the tools to make something of herself for herself. What she grew into was beyond his wildest dreams. She wasn’t the only one who needed saving, slowly Zack was able to look into his darkness and find the shining light.

They both have battle scars and together they may just find what they need. They often had me laughing but they also made my heartache. I know there are more stories to tell but I will be sorry to see this series end because they feel like family to me.

This is one series that no one and I mean no one should ever look past. Stop and start from the beginning. I will follow Rebels work always.

The Fisher Men On the X (Fisher Men Book III) by Rebel Nicks O’Dey

5-Stars

Holy cow! The Fisher Men On the X (Fisher Men Book III) by Rebel Nicks O’Dey was an amazing read. I was hooked right off the bat with this book. I think this one is officially my favorite of the series. I loved Zack and Becca as the storyline developed. Both characters were developed well and easy to relate too. This book can be read as a standalone but there or characters mentioned in this book that are presented in the other novels.
The author really did an amazing job with the storyline. She hooks readers at the beginning easily and keeps them interested the entire time. There is excellent detail to setting and supporting characters. I highly recommend this addicting series, especially this third installment.

Stalking the Stalker (Valley View Mysteries Book 2) by Laura Hawks – Review by Erica Fish

Stalking the StalkerStalking the Stalker by Laura Hawks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stalking the Stalker by Laura Hawks is the second book in the Valley View Mysteries series. This is not my first book by Hawks and it will not be my last. It has been a little bit since I have read a “whodunnit” story. Hawks kept my attention from the first line to the last. This story is about Tyler Channing a celebrity who has a stalker. There is so much going on in Valley View, especially with the play with Tyler coming into town.. Tyler has a stalker Louise Harper who happens to be in Valley View as well. There was a murder and it happens to be Louise. Detective Mitchell has his work cut out for him with this murder. What is going to happen in the small town? Will the killer get caught? Who is the murder? Watch every corner and every detail and maybe you will find out “whodunit” before it is revealed.
