The Girl and The Demon (The Girl and The Raven, #3)The Girl and The Demon by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The third and final installment in this YA Paranormal Romance Series, The Girl and The Demon, takes us to the depths of hell. Lucy’s BFF, trying to save Lucy, accidentally summons Lucifer, the most powerful devil in the realm.
With elaborate storytelling, astronomical, unforgettable twists, and complex characters this series will stay in your mind long after you close the cover on book three.
This story really brings the series to a full completion and while I would love to see Lucy have a continuing story later on, yet I am very pleased with the unpredictable outcome of this book.
This is officially going on my TO BE READ AGAIN list! Thank you Pauline Gruber for bringing us such a unique paranormal coming of age story!

The Girl and the Gargoyle (The Girl and the Raven, #2)The Girl and the Gargoyle by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The second installment in this paranormal, romantic novel full of mystery, intrigue and suspense, The Girl and The Gargoyle takes the reader deeper into the mystical world that Lucy finds herself thrown into.
The complexity of the characters in this novel really makes it seem as if they are close friends rather than book friends.
I thought the first book would be my favorite YA paranormal romance of the year, but I have come to the conclusion that this series will be my favorite YA Paranormal Romances of the year.
These are not stand alone novels you really need the information in each one to move forward, but you won’t regret picking up this series. I am heading into book three and cannot wait for what I am sure will be the thrilling conclusion to this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The struggle of good verses evil takes a twisted turn when Lucy Walker begins to have disconcerting encounters with the unexplainable.
Every moment of this story is filled with action and adventure and was completely packed with unforeseeable twists and turns.
The Author, Pauline Gruber, writes in such detail that she literally brings this story and it’s characters to life.
So excellent was this story I couldn’t put it down. In fact not only couldn’t I put it down but I instantly picked up the next book just to get more of this story! In one word it was … Phenomenal!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me just say Yowzah!! I never go into a second book really expecting it to out preform book one but ‘Shadow of Doubt’ by Merissa Racine really out preformed my expectations. I absolutely loved the way she took her characters over the top! You really get to see who her characters are. The story development is well planned and progresses at the right moments. I really enjoyed the story as it had a little of everything.

The Guardian's Legacy (Coin of Time, #1)The Guardian’s Legacy by Luciana Cavallaro
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A book with it all! Mystery, intrigue, escapades, gambles, exploits and time travel!! I have to admit whenever I have been asked what superpower I would have if I could have just one … 9 times out of 10 I have said time travel. This book brings that to life and the author added such rich detail that the imagery comes into your mind so clear. Nik is a great character and so well defined it was as if I have known him for a really long time. In fact all the characters are so well outlined they all become “book friends”. Luciana Cavallaro makes you truly care about her characters and has you wanting a happy ending for them.
The non stop action will have you clinging to this novel until the very end!
Nik is asked to be “guardian” of an ancient coin that has a twin. The twin has yet to be found but Nik’s grandfather thinks he may know where it is and upon traveling to Europe he disappears. Nik goes after him but ends up being chased by several organizations to which he flips the coin and ends up in a different time!
One of my favorite traits of an author is when they add historical, geological and mythological facts in their story that brings you something extra. This author does just that and in a way that makes these timeless stories new and blends them flawlessly with the tale she is telling. Overall this book gave me the great feels! I cannot wait to slip between the covers of book two!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! Words are failing me at this moment to describe how intense this book was. It grabbed ahold of me and dragged me down between its covers and didn’t let go until I had absorbed every LAST WORD! I had no idea this was a series, so guess what my next week looks like? Yep I am getting all five of the previous boos and reading!
Via Mari drops you into the seedy underbelly of sex trafficking and hotter than hell Nick is right there to be the sexy smooth protector that Allie needs. This novel had it all … mystery, intrigue, adventure, a sexy sizzle and a plot thicker than beef stew. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and suspect I will enjoy the rest of her books! Can’t wait to dive in to this series from book one!

Kingdom of Embers (Kingdom Journals #1)Kingdom of Embers by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hogwarts, Narnia, Forks, Alicante?? The City of Angels takes on the mysterious bent given to magical places! A supernatural coming of age book that is a mystical mix of everything we love about other supernatural novels. Alena, an almost 18 year old, vampire witch hybrid is rebellious, determined and a cool character. Although I believe there is way more to her than meets the eye. She is the perfect heroine for this series. Blending modern day teenage angst with ancient mythology like rules, author Tricia Copeland once again brings us such clear imagery it is as if we are there watching it happen instead of reading it.
I love fantasy type stories and this one is a great start to what is bound to be an amazing series. One of those series that has readers saying “I wish they would turn this into a 9 hour long movie not missing any details so I could watch this again and again.”
Bravo to the author!! Bravo!!

Come Back Tomorrow (Embrace Tomorrow Duet Book 1) by Amy Argent – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Come Back Tomorrow (Embrace Tomorrow, #1)Come Back Tomorrow by Amy Argent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emotional, impactful, poignant, impassioned! Author Amy Argent has managed to write a novel so full of feeling, spirit and intensity that it was literally impossible to put down. You will laugh, cry and scream and you will close the final page and sit in stunned disbelief that the end has come. The first thought I was able to think after reading this book was where is book two?
Will and Tori’s relationship is full of pain, some anger, some anticipation, a lot of hope, a little faith and a great big healing dose of healing love. When Tori falls apart (being a professional in the medical field I have been in her shoes although admittedly not having deeper feelings for a patient) I literally fell apart too. I cried with her and felt a crack form in my heart for her. Sometimes even as a professional we can get so emotionally tied that’s patient’s plight sometimes feels like our own. In Tori’s case it affects her far deeper than that of a patient because she developed feelings for Will.
Will’s struggle brought me back to my own struggles and his desire to give in and let himself stop fighting is so reminiscent of so many people I have worked with. A DNR is a hard thing for any person to accept, but for those of us who are doing our best to save lives it is that much harder to accept.
The characters are so relatable, the words so full of elaborate details that you feel each sentence of this book!! I cannot wait for the next book and to find out if Will and Tori will get an HEA!

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is definitely an October must read! To say that this story is beautifully written is an understatement. Words do not justify how hauntingly lovely this story is. I say haunting because the words and details of this tale will invade your thoughts and dreams long after you have closed the cover.
The depth of every faucet of this novella will bring rich, sharp imagery to your mind.
Mercy is such a well developed character you will by the end feel as if she was your friend. You will grieve with her, hope with her and cheer her on.
I officially have Weep Woman Weep on my re-read list before the month is up and plan to treasure it again every October!

Born to Fight (Can’t Resist You Book 1) by Brittany Anne – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

/0 Comments/in /by

Born to Fight (Can't Resist You, #1)Born to Fight by Brittany Anne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hunter is a man and exactly as his name implies a hunter. Well a solider to be more exact. He was raised to be a warrior for the resistance. From what I could gather it’s against the UNR after the fall of Western Civilization. Although we never really find out why they are resisting and why the fall occurs.
Rain has escaped and finds Hunter at deaths doorstep. She saves him and lies to him. She doesn’t want to be sent back, but her lies could cause trouble for Hunter. This just seems like a really contrived character flaw and I really feel it could have been a written a little more eloquently.
There are some extremely erotic scenes and some extremely aggressive scenes. It makes the book in part confusing yet steamy and part emotional yet grating. In the end I was very confused about how I felt about this book. I think I will give it a second chance though and re read it, because the premise of the story itself is really interesting.

The Bastard Prince (It’s Raining Royals) by Alix Nichols – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

/0 Comments/in /by

The Bastard Prince (It's Raining Royals, #2)The Bastard Prince by Alix Nichols
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novella is a continuing tale in the Raining Royals Series. The Bastard Prince being book two follows Arnaud, a plastic surgeon who doesn’t know he is a prince. When he learns he is he almost doubts it. Ever the playboy he does have a liaison outside the main characters and it does make his character a little less lovable.
Sasha is an instantaneous love for me. Challenged with a disability that she doesn’t let get in her way, she works hard for what she has and she goes at life with spunk and curiosity. Being a reporter that curiosity is probably a necessity but the author makes it feel more like a natural trait than a must have due to vocation.
This installment in the Raining Royals is more charming and tender than the first book which gave us a steamy love affair with Max and Lucie. This ends as the first did with a HEA and a continuing arc for the next tale in the series. I do look forward to reading it.
So why did I give this four starts instead of five if I liked it so much? As a nurse I see people with the condition Sasha has and I feel like the author could have put a bit more research into it to make it more believable. However if you are not in the medical field or have never dealt with a kidney condition you probably wouldn’t notice this. Now on to book three!!

The Boss Prince (It's Raining Royals, #1)The Boss Prince by Alix Nichols
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novella is charming, fun, a bit mystical and definitely worth a read. The main characters Max and Lucie go on some daring escapades to find the keys and save Max’s hidden gem of a kingdom. Lucie does not know he is the Prince so that makes for some interesting double talk.
This little page turner has a little of everything, intrigue, mystery, suspense, action, adventure, steamy romance, fun, flirty and another royal falling for a commoner. It is filled with a vast amount of information that I wonder if it is important to the continuing tale. If it is kudos for putting so much work into making a much larger story from a series of smaller easy reads.
This story is the beginning of a continuing tale of a secretive mystery that has yet to be solved. I look forward to book two which I am starting NOW!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a unique and timeless romance that exists between the covers of this book. Such and amazing tale of passion, mystery, true love and that desire we all feel.
I loved Kat. She is a true heroine and I really think her strong determination and amazing talent are wonderful but it is really her heart that makes this story so great. Phillip was described so well you get to know him down to his dimples.
This novel kept me turning pages from the moment I read it until I finished it. I really enjoyed how detailed the story is and I love that it just pulls you in. I honestly can not wait for book two!

Runaway to the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction, Book 2) by Nicole Flockton – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Runaway to the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction, #2)Runaway to the Outback by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With book one in this series, Home to the Outback, author Nicole Flockton became one of my favorite authors and that continued throughout all of book 2. Once again Nicole brings her characters to life with such detail that it is impossible not to get involved in their story and wish only good things for them.
In this book, we once again are taken to small town Bunya Junction and thrust into the lives of Jonas, younger brother to Sindy, the heroine of book one and Pandora.
Jonas is zealous about his work. He owns the pub and inn and works harder in a day than most people in a week. Pandora is a model and while she enjoys it in some aspects others make her feel the need to run. And run she does, straight into Jonas’ pub and in a wedding dress to boot!
Pandora is exactly the opposite of the model stereotype. She is warm, considerate, tender and is no slouch. She works just as hard as Jonas.
Jonas is determined, steadfast and opinionated and as the story plays out these traits make Pandora wonder if he could ever support her in some very difficult circumstances and decisions she must work through.
The characters are very well developed and the story is a page turner. Much like book one I couldn’t put it down. I love the scenes containing previous characters. Especially Ryan and Sindy. Getting to follow their lives together, even as supporting characters, really adds a bit of treasure you don’t get in stand alone stories.
I am in so in love with this town I wanna pack up and move there! Cannot wait for January when book 3, Doctor in the Outback, Scott’s story is released!!

Home to the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction, #1)Home to the Outback by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars are not enough!! This book is phenomenal. It’s a page turner and I couldn’t put it down. I enjoyed it so much I instantly picked up book two in the series. If you are looking for a great read with emotion, detail, great characters and an amazing HEA, then look no further this book is for you!
Sindy (btw I love the unusual spelling of her name) is a great character. She is so well described it is hard not to relate to her. I became very invested in seeing her get that great love!! Ryan is the traditional male character who thinks a little too much of himself, but finds his own in the end.
Being in the medical field myself I love how the people are skeptical of the new doctor. In real life it is truly like that when an out going but well loved doctor sells his or her practice. Yet the people of Bunya Junction still trust nurse Sindy. She ingratiates the people of Bunya Junction to Dr. Ryan and really makes them all see how kind and compassionate he truly is.
Author Nicole Flockton is officially on my list of favorite authors and I am willing to bet if you give her stories a chance she will be on yours too!!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

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

In this volume of the Notebook Mysteries we follow Emma once again, who is an 18-year-old graduate of business school and an entrepreneur. Emma is persistent, self-sufficient, vivacious, and wants to make lasting change. The case she takes on is much more perilous than the other ones as she is battered and warned away.

Emma Evans is a real Sherlock Holmes, using wit, keen observation skills and a vast amount of cleverness to solve injustices. She carries around a notebook with her at all times in order to set down all her perceptions of the things she takes the time to notice. This helps her do what she desires the most … solving crimes.

I thought the recipes were a wonderful addition and I feel I will truly enjoy making some of them. However I will say this you need to read the first book 1st, because a more detailed character description and a deeper background will give you a better understanding of Emma and everything else going on.

The characters were intricately flesh out and very detailed. I particularly like the historical details during that era that show Emma’s endorsement for women’s rights. Including stepping out of the box society forced her into and fighting for equal pay and equal opportunity for women in the work place. This novel is also socially conscious in that Emma helps women who are abused a fair bit.

If you are looking for a delightful, fun, read with many dramatic escapades all packed into a novel, with historical details look no further. This tale has a very Nancy Drew essence and will entertain the older and younger generations.

The Book of Carraig (The Cross of Ciaran Book 2) by Andrea Matthews – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

/0 Comments/in /by

The Book of Carraig (The Cross of Ciaran #2)The Book of Carraig by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me give you a little backstop. After being asleep for 1500 years, 5th century Ciarán, an ancient pagan priest in Ireland , awakens to find himself in 20th century after being found as a pristine specimen by archeologist, Caitlin O’Connell, who transported him to New York. When he awoke and the amazingly intact specimen went missing, mystery and magic ensues and the story begins to unfold.
If you read these books out of order you will find yourself adrift. You really need the background created in book 1, The Cross of Ciarán, to fully appreciate the continuing mystical escapades of Ciarán and Caitlin.
As a continuing tale I fully expected that it would be filled with the history the author put in her previous novel, however she exceeded my expectations. I love the addition of the hunt for a serial killer, on top of the hunt for the book that may actually be the key to stopping the serial killer. Again I was a little disappointed in the romance between Caitlin and Ciarán, but in this book it was fully understandable because of the memories Ciarán is seized by. Memories of his wife and his brother, memories of the Ireland he loved and the wicked clash between the way it is now.
A story about finding yourself, finding long abiding love and about enchanted mystery will keep you hooked to the very end! I cannot wait for book three!!

The Cross of CiaranThe Cross of Ciaran by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For me this book started off a little slow, however the further I read the more interested I became. The author, Andrea Matthews’, use of a historical and archeological foundation really made this story pop for me. The tale is a paranormal, time travel, romance with some great characters and one main character, Caitlin, who is very unlikable. I do feel like there is more to her than we are getting, but that remains to be seen in book two. This novel is filled with quest-like adventures, history, mystical happenings and a little strange romance thrown in.
I had some difficulty initially keeping up with the story, because it time travels in the memories of Ciarán back to the 5th century and then back to the present day. Nevertheless, this back and forth developed an epic background that is building this narrative for great things in the future.
During an archeological dig in Ireland, Caitlin finds a pristine human specimen, an ancient pagan priest who unbeknownst to Caitlin was entombed alive. Magic and mystery weave there way throughout the story and once back in the states, the pristine specimen goes missing. He finds his way to the only sacred ground he knows, a church. Where we meet Father Mike and my favorite character!! Again we find things mystical and enchanting weaved into this tale as the truth begins to unravel. We won’t know the all of it until book two. If you are going to read this book make sure you have book two or you will be so upset!

Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling (Stone and Cinder Book 1)Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Grimm Brothers would be proud. This is not a retelling of Cinderella in the traditional HEA genre. I love that the Prince truly is charming and while his name is Callum it could’ve been Charming and no one would have batted an eye. Author A.L. Marrow really knows how to drag you by the hair into a story! I love stories like that. I was so engrossed I almost missed my stop.

Back to what I was saying about the Grimm Brothers being proud of A.L. Marrow. If you have ever read a Grimm Brothers fairy tale you know how gruesome they can be. This story reminds me of that when it introduces the trom-laighe.

Every character was well flushed out and gave you a sense of “knowing” them you don’t often get in books. Ashling is charismatic, witty, strong and beautiful. Even in the face of danger from her “family” and from the trom -laighe she rises to the challenge. Since reading her father’s journal she knows how to defeat these evil creatures when no one else does. The author doesn’t focus so much on the Step Mother/Step Sister aspect that is usually emphasized and instead centers the readers attention on the enchantment and the perplexing labyrinth of mysteries surrounding Glenblath.

*One thing I will note is that this book is not intended for children and has some very erotic M/M scenes.

No Strings AttachedNo Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is so well written and so easy to fall into. I simply couldn’t put it down. Author Lara Ward Cosio really knows how to turn out an amazing tale. So many emotions go through you as you read this story. I really related with Kayla and the issues she faced. I laughed out loud so much that this tale includes that added bonus of enjoyment and entertainment that is very healing for the soul. I love a book with a strong female lead who proves although men are important in our lives we do not need them to survive and enjoy life. Kayla has it all, a career where she is excelling, a beautiful albeit small apartment, a lovely daughter and great friends. Her daughter’s father is more absent than not from both of their lives and Kayla is ok with that. She has dedicated her life to making her daughter’s life stable and good.
However, an attractive attentive man who has it all, except a woman to share it with, shows up in Kayla’s life and the attraction is instant. Tanner is handsome, dedicated to his work and sister and a family oriented man. He doesn’t have kids of his own but he dotes on his nephews. The vibes and funny antidotes that the author so descriptively uses will make you want more. Even at the end with the HEA I found myself wishing there was more to the story. A charming read that leaves the reader feeling good, No Strings Attached, will leave you wishing for more story even just a side story that includes life for these two people after the HEA.

To be a Fae Queen (Realm Chronicles #1)To be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Enchanting! Stunning! Breath-taking! So many descriptive words to choose from, but these three stuck out the most. Author Tricia Copeland is very gifted and brings her stories to life, making you the reader feel like you are immersed in the story. Her characters are well thought out, fully developed and polished giving us an incredible understanding of each and every one.

In To Be A Fae Queen we are surrounded by mystery from almost the instant the story begins. Mystery surrounding the Fae King Oberon of Aubren, the queen herself and the crystals leave you wanting more. Titania although young in age (only 15) seems on the precipice of life. She wants to be taken seriously, but seems as if she is not really sure how she should go about it. All her attempts are thwarted by her father the King as he wants nothing more than to keep her safe. Titania fights for her right to the throne and takes us on an epic journey as she attempts to solve the magical mystical mysteries that are plaguing her kingdom.

I love the details Ms. Copeland added to this book. The simplest being the map, however while simple, the map really aides in your expedition throughout the tale! I love the unmitigated brilliance of Ms. Copeland’s artisanship.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In an instant, Author Bernadette Marie, has a new fan! Something Lost was a wonderfully sweet story that brought out so many different emotions in myself as I read through it. Dealing with grief is never easy and so many Authors attempt to bring out the pain their characters feel in a very real way. Ms. Marie has not only accomplished that, but made me care deeply about the characters as well. I had a real connection with Rachel and Craig. I found myself unable to put this book down and finished it in two days time. I cannot wait for the next novel by Bernadette Marie! As I said in the beginning she has a fan for life!! You won’t regret reading one of her extraordinarily impressive, emotional, beautifully written tales!

The change in character point of views and tenses had me slightly confused as the story did not flow as well as it could have. That said the story itself is great and Author Linda Burson has a knack for creating suspense, mystery, intrigue and even romance. While I do not often enjoy books that contain affairs, I did appreciate the way the author justifies the relationship between two of the main characters. I absolutely love how she describes the parents and their different aspects of their relationships with their children. We truly need more parents like Zach, Leah and Grant and more aunts like Cammy. Really appreciate the details the author added to give you the sense of watching the story unfold.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an amazing novel!! It captures your mind from the very beginning and keeps you in its grasp all the way through and for many hours afterwards. I was unaware this was a series so when I tried turning the page, on what looked like a new chapter on kindle, I was shocked, dismayed and instantly went looking for book 2. It’s not out yet so I have added it to my must have list. Rowan, Theo, and the rest of the characters have transformed the way romance stories usually happen. I loved all the plot twists and turns. The Princess’s plight at the end will leave you twiddling your thumbs and obsessed with watching the calendar until the next book is due out. Happy reading!!

For a short read this book had a really great story jam packed into it. The authors writing style really flows well. As someone who believes in conservation efforts I really appreciated the efforts of the characters in this story. The push and pull between characters really makes this story stand out as a full length novel would in terms of story and character development. For a novella I actually really enjoyed all the drama, emotion, action and the little mystery. Definitely a story worth the read.

Slow Burn is a very appropriate title for this book. Adam is a tough guy persona with an ugly personality from emotional and physical trauma he suffered.

I absolutely loved this story. It was sexy and beautiful and reminded me of my own love story IRL. Adam and Maddie are both characters who are well developed and definitely have the reader rooting for them. An easy read that leaves you wanting more and the author provided an extra chapter!

If you haven’t read the first installment to this series you will be a bit lost so be sure to check that out first. So much drama, action, adventure and detail packed into one amazing story! Mr. Talisman has an official fan!

So Close (Love Grows #4)So Close by Renee Regent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A fantastic love story about friendship, loss and reconciliation. The story grabs you from the first moment you open the book. Renee has a knack for making you feel like you are in the story not just reading it. Dahlia and Levi are amazing characters, full of depth and conflicting emotions. They make this story a romance for the ages.
