On Viking Seas is the third book in The Forerunner Saga Series and is a epic fantasy that is hard to put down. I truly enjoyed reading this book although I had a hard time following along at first because there is a lot going on but once I got a couple chapters in it flowed better from there on. This is a fairly new author to me although I have read a couple of other books by him this is my favorite yet. This is packed with action, adventure, Vikings, drama, danger and some mythology. I highly recommend reading the first two books if you haven’t already started them as they are just as good as this one and you get a better idea what is going on plus you get to know the characters better. Get ready to be taken on quite the Vikings adventure. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

I’m Not Your Difference (Fitz Series Book 4) by Theresa Sederholt

I’m Not Your Difference is the fourth book in the Fitz Series and I absolutely loved reading it. I’m a huge fan of this author and her style of writing along with amazing characters make for a amazing story. This is a story that is intended for 18 + mature readers due to some Violence and Sexual Content. I recommend reading the first three books if you haven’t already as they are just as good as this one us you get back story and learn about the characters. I loved this book and had moments of heartbreak and I was a bit emotional at times. This is a wonderfully written story that is packed with m action, suspense , suspense and a serial killer. I loved that its written in more than one POV. This is a story about Andy and Stephen.. Andy is heart broken over Stephen leaving because he couldn’t handle Stella and her being deaf. Andy figures out a way to deal with all the things and then Stephen realizes he made a mistake. He’s determined to get Abdy and his family back. In the midst of everything going on there’s a serial killer preying on gay men. No worries Fitz is on the case and he’s not going to let them out of his sights. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.
