Book 6! Who would have thought this series would keep going! Dark mystery, violent murders, sadness…all the negative feels. No rainbows here!
O’Flynn writes mystery horror stories. I wanted to mention that she’s the Stephen King of Indie but then there’s a reference in the story and that might not be the compliment I mean it to be! I love her twisted way of writing. Page turning even in the gruesomeness of it all.
I would never want to live in a place like Ash Park but if I did I would want these detectives there battling for good, trying to safe human-kind!
I recommend this story, heck this whole series. But you must read it all in order. You won’t be sorry. Such a great story!

Jax Marlin to catch a Marlin By T.K. Toppin is a futuristic crime novel about a female Vigilante Jax Marlin and Inspector Pedroni who is determined to catch her. Pedroni chases Jax into space literally to try and find her. There’s a little romance, plenty of action and a great story line. Jax is the perfect Vigilante she has a tragic past but is still confident and capable her only weakness seems to be the growing feelings she has for “her copper” Inspector Pedroni. Inspector Michael Pedroni is a stickler for following protocol and catching the bad guy and he can’t help but feel and attraction to the Sexy Vigilante who is always one step ahead. If you love crime novels with a futuristic sc-fi theme you will really enjoy this book.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne by CL Schneider is the third and final installment of The Crown of Stones series. This is a fantastic ending to a great trilogy of books. Ian Troy’s story has been amazing to follow and I feel the author left the story in a good place. This is definitely a series you want to read in order because one book leads to the next. I love the amount of time and detail the author puts into her stories and this one doesn’t disappoint. I am sad to see this one end but the author did a good job on the ending. I look forward to what this author writes next.

L. Schneider – Review by Sheri Schrader
MAGIC-BORNE is the third book in “The Crown of Stones” trilogy. This is a series that has to be read in order. You would be doing yourself and the series a disservice if you read it all wily nily out of order.
This was the (I believe) the longest book of the trilogy and it took me a bit to read it. I was reading the books one right after the other, but I found I had to pick this one up and down a few times to be able to finish it. There is a lot going on… Action, adventure, intrigue, redemption and time travel.
The overall arch of the trilogy was well plotted. These three books together form an epic fantasy adventure with very clear cut beginning, middle and end. i would guess this author is NOT a “pantser” and probably has a timeline with pins and threads tying everything together.
While this is the end of Ian’s story, there is room for more. The universe this trilogy is set in has lots of untold stories and I feel like it could go on for a bit more.
I recommend this series and thing it would be an enjoyable read from YA to Elder.

Renegade: The mercenaries series book 1 by Raven White is a 4 star read. Sam “Renegade” McGill is an ex military man now working as a mercenary, while on a recon job for a friend he gets a call from Ron “Sparrow” McKay calling in a favour, Sparrow needs him to be a bodyguard for his sister who was attacked and left for dead. Eliza McKay is the lead singer in a band, a position she won from being in a competition, when she wakes up in hospital over 2 weeks after her last gig she has no idea of what happened. Her older brother explains she was attacked and left for dead and that he has now got her a bodyguard to look after her while he finds the attacker, Eliza isn’t happy until she sets eyes on Renegade and feels in instant connection. The connection these two characters had was instant and you can feel it throughout their story. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the stories from the rest of the mercenaries.

Alice Will: Dreams of Chaos Book 1 by Ashley Chappell 4 Stars
This is a fantasy novel involving gods, magical beings and humans. It is unlike anything that I have read before. It truly is a unique and original story. Reality isn’t always what it seems, it depends on who’s telling the story. Trotter is a demi god trying to understand her powers and trying to control them while being a fourteen year old girl. A war is coming that can tear the world apart and its up to her to save it. All the while there is a little girl that’s reshaping reality with her childish dreams and wishes. Unfortunately a six year old doesn’t realize the world is bigger than what’s around her. With the gods fighting amongst themselves and the human world caving in upon itself, can Trotter find the strength to stop the evil that is awakening and save a child’s hopes and dreams?

A great read about temptation. Natalie is busy trying to organise the wedding of Cyrus Sweet and Jolie Cox, the owners of Spicetopia. To make things worse, Cyrus’s family have ordered a vicar who is very religious to officiate the wedding. The vicar, Micah struggles to accept the world of Spicetopia and battles with his attraction to Natalie. Can he keep to his duties or will he surrender to desire? A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Micah naive but stubborn or Natalie confident but vulnerable underneath. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the theme park with the castle and palm trees for the luxurious and beautiful feel of the theme park. Or with the theatre with its colorful vases and the carvings of dragons intricate and colourful and beautiful. Or the scene in the love tunnel with the fairy lights making it magical. The switch of perspectives worked well to display both sides of the story and was easy to follow with names in the chapter titles. I also liked the use of contrasts with religion versus sex and a vicar in an unusual setting. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars by C. L. Schneider. This story transports readers to an adventure in fantasy that you won’t soon forget. This is the second book and I do recommend you reading them in order. This book was just as good as the first, we’re taken on more of a journey with Ian. This book packs quite the punch with its smooth storyline and well developed characters. The authors writing style is clear and well detailed. It’s hard not to get lost in this story. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Four stars and highly recommended.

Recall is the brilliant sixth book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. This thriller is a fantastic addition to the series- I was glued to the pages from beginning to end, reading it in one sitting- and absolutely loved every mind twisting minute. The series has been such a fantastic read. It could be read as a standalone, but there are recurring characters and snippets of backstory and previous information which play a part in this book, so reading all the other books would give you a larger, more developed perspective- which in turn will enhance your overall reading experience. The books are all really great- quite intriguing, intense, and suspenseful, so reading them all is definitely a plus for you! This series just goes from strength to strength, each book delivering an intense, gripping, and polished read. And, as I have said numerous times now, I am so impressed with Ms. O’Flynn’s ability to spin an incredibly clever thriller- her books just get better and better as the series has evolved. The amount of tension, suspense, shocks, and brilliant twists, surprises, and puzzling situations that she manages to infuse into each story, really makes me sit up and take notice- always unpredictable right up till the end- whilst delivering a heart pounding, stomach clenching, and mind-blowing read.

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn is a suspense thriller and another story where Detective Edward Petrosky is out to catch the killer, but we get to see the softer side to him as well. I have enjoyed this character and is no nonsense ways and his thoughts make me laugh at times. Meghan has once again cleverly constructed a story that is full of tension and suspense, intrigue and thrills and I was glued to the pages from beginning to end. Meghan also addressed the issue of mental illness and those dealing with the fallout of once being at war.
Petrosky has lost so much and is finally pulling himself together for the women in his life. His way of thinking is clever, and he works hard to catch the killers but he also loses a little bit more of himself in the process. He is also a softy who will always help those who need a little more.
I am looking forward to what the next book has in store for us.

Singles and Other Singularities (The woman Scientist Trilogy 2- The Italian Saga Book 8) By Gaia B Amman is a great continuation of the series. I recommend reading the books in order to enjoy them thoroughly. Leda is fighting her way through research and graduate school with her peers. This is a relatable story because of the well written characters. The author makes what could be a cold, dry subject into something enjoyable and interesting. Leda is great even though she makes some poor decisions. I think this is part of what makes her so enduring. She is young and in a foreign country but making the most of her opportunities. I look forward to reading more of Leda’s story in the future.

Once Again, C.L. Schneider has done it again in the continuation of Ian Troy’s story. I like how it didn’t immediately pick up where the last book was left off, but that only made me starving to know just what happened, and was trying to put the pieces together just as Ian himself was. I have to say it’s not often that a sequel is as good as it’s first book, but this one took the crown home. With her World Building, descriptions, and attention to detail and not afraid to be graphic some times, This was just as brilliant of a take on the fantasy genre as her first one. I am eager to see how it all concludes in the third and final book, which I am about to start reading the second I finish this review. I recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy and even to those who usually aren’t fantasy folks, you need to give this one a try.

L. Schneider – Review by Mary Katherine Alexander
Much like Ian Troy, I too have an addiction to magic, though mine is confined within pages of fantasy novels, and this was no exception, if anything it only made my addition worse. It begins with your usual fantasy good vs evil but as the story unfolds, and more background and world building is done, it becomes so much more than that. Schneider did such an amazing job taking the fantasy novel and making it her own. The building of the background material and the world made me want more and more. I loved how it wasn’t all just so simple black and white with how everything was meant to be, but that it touched on all the Grey area in between. I will be the first to say all magic comes with a price, but it’s a price worth paying to read this book.

Renegade The Mercenaries Series Book 1 By Raven White ☆☆☆☆☆ This is a Suspenseful romance. Packed with hot steamy romance as well as a suspenseful rollercoaster. Be warned it is not over until you read the last page. This book is not for those under 18, due to adult content. There will be no spoilers in this review.
Sam, aka, (Renegade), is a former military man that has joined a mercenary team. All is well, until he gets a call from a friend (Sparrow) who is a cop. We all know what that leads too. Somebody, aka (Eliza), has been assaulted and left for dead. Sparrow,(her brother) needs his help, in keeping Eliza safe and protected. Sparrow has been taken off the case. But needs Renegades help. Problems could arise when they are in hiding. Will they build a romance or fight every step of the way? Will they catch the stalker?
Raven White has written this first book in The Mercenaries Series. This is the first book and it takes off on page 1. It is well written and filled with suspense. Raven White is new to me, but I can already say, I’m going to enjoy this series. You can’t help but fall in love with her characters. Her blending suspense with romance was a real rollercoaster of a ride. This alone will keep you reading. I for one am looking forward to her next book in this series.

Dagda’s Daughter (Raven and Hummingbird Book 2) By Nikki Broadwell 5 out of 5 stars
The story Dagda’s Daughter (Raven and Hummingbird Book 2) by Nikki Broadwell is a wonderful book. I truly enjoyed reading it. It has mythology, spells, gods, and danger. The story had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the character of Katel. She is the daughter of the Celtic god Dagda. Dagda is trying to keep control over her, which is becoming harder and harder to do. Katel is kind, caring, and strong. I found Dagda so be manipulative and selfish. What does the future hold for Katel? Dagda has committed illegal actions. What will this mean to all worlds? Read this book to find out. This story had me glued to the pages and not wanting to put the book down until I had read the last page. There are additional characters that are introduced and while some of them are helpful to Katel, there are others who have their own agenda and plans. Katel is a character that is likable, and I found myself caring about what happens to her and that she is happy. This is a story that I would highly recommend reading.

Amy grew up on the Satan’s Devils Motorcycle club compound. Drew found himself part of the club when his sister married a member. Despite their ten-year age difference, Amy and Drew became good friends. When Amy was 7 and Drew was 17, Amy became accompanied him to museums and ice cream shops. When he was 19, Drew instilled a love of horses into a 9-year-old Amy. At 14, Amy found it hard to accept that a 24-year-old Drew was going out on dates. At 17, Amy wanted to be the one Drew wanted to date. Amy’s father was having no part of that and made sure Drew made it clear that he was not interested in Amy to halt her endless flirting. At 18, a heart-broken Amy left home to pursue college and career in another city.
When Amy comes home at the age of 27, so much has changed. Life has taught her many lessons and she is still recovering from having her trust shattered. Coming home from Christmas and having to face her family is hard. While she knows her father, or any club brother for that matter, would help her deal with her problem, she feels ashamed and doesn’t want to get them involved. What she doesn’t count on is the boy she loved growing up now being the man in charge the Satan’s Devils…or that this man would ask her for the one thing she is having a hard time finding again, trust. Can Amy trust Drew? Can she find herself again? Or is she broken beyond repair?
From what I can tell, this story is the furthering of stories previously written about this motorcycle club. I found myself falling in love with the characters and wanting to know more of their back story. I was rooting for Amy and Drew, while hoping that Amy would see herself as a survivor and allow herself to heal and find happiness again. This was a good read that made me crave more of this world. I will definitely be looking into the other books in this series!

I enjoyed this book. This is an action filled fantasy book that kept me reading until the end. This is a creative, well developed story that is engaging with a realistic feel to it. I was pulled in right from the beginning by the characters. What will happen when you have broken rules, a woman who is about to have her magic power interupt her life and an uncertain future of the worlds? I highly recomend reading this book to find out what happens next with this mess.

Like the previous books, this one is full of suspense, mystery and murder. The characters bring the story to life and made me feel as if I was right there. This is a sitting on the edge of your seat type book and it will keep you turning pages. Find out if Detective Petrosky has met his match with this murder. This is a must read.

Jax Marlin- To Catch a Marlin by T.K. Toppin is a combination of sci-fi, mystery, and adventure all wrapped up into one book. Toppin does a masterful job of creating an interesting and engaging plot line. Also her characters are fully developed and easy to imagine in your mind’s eye. I really like the character Jax Marlin. She is a strong female character, who technically is a criminal but she is a vigilante. I love the adventure that Toppin took me on with Jax Marlin and add in Special Inspector Michael Pedroni to really heat up the pursuit. Will Special Inspector Pedroni find Jax Marlin before she finds the new alliance in town or will he stop the pursuit? You will have to read this book to find out what happens.

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) By Meghan O’Flynn 5 out of 5 stars
The story Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn is an amazing book to read. It has mystery and suspense. There are times when I wondered what was going to happen next. As the main characters try to solve the murder of the son of a very important member of the community you are taken on an investigation that is a ride that will not stop until the end. It is up to Detective Petrosky and his new partner to find and bring in the murderer. This is another wonderful book set in Ash Park. Detective Petrosky is a character whose personal life may be a bit of a mess, however, when he is on a case, he does everything he can think of to solve it. This sometimes gets him in hot water. Is this murder a random attack or is there more to it? Is the killer a vigilante who protects those who need help the most? Will Petrosky and his partner bring the killer in? Read this book to find out. I also enjoyed reading about Petrosky’s partner. She is tough, snarky, and strong. Whatever Petrosky can dish out she can take and has a reply waiting for him. This is a story that is dark and has some twists to it. The story does deal with a sensitive subject throughout the investigation. There are many other characters that are introduced. Some of them are helpful to the detective and his partner, others have their own agenda and plans. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you turning pages and not wanting to put it down until you have read the final page. I highly recommend this book. I also wanted to recommend the entire series. The series is amazing!

A great read about memories. After the events of the last book, Ian was drugged and imprisoned. He is set free and taken to safety but when he wakes up he has no idea who he is. But he must remember, as Kings and enemies grow more powerful and threaten the lives of everyone. Can he find himself again before ti’s too late? A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Ian as a brave warrior but also lost and vulnerable underneath. Great cats of supporting characters like the sarcastic but caring Malaq or the distrustful Krillos. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like the icy regions at the start with its sense of beauty and danger, wonderfully written. Or with the memories of Kabri with its sand and sea, full of life and people and bright colours so vivid its as if you’re actually there. A great example of world building with a fantasy world with its own history and geography. I liked the sense of expansion, as the author explores more of the world with seas and ice and mountains, adding things to develop this world further. The first person narrative worked brilliantly to show Ians struggle to find himself again. I also liked the use of suspense, with small details revealed slowly to make you keep on reading to find out what happened. The memories and flashbacks worked well to display what had happened and didn’t disrupt from the narrative of the present. The only issue I would raise is that there were a lot of long sentences that were hard to read which could be reduced with a variety of sentence lengths. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Alice Will is an incredible fantasy novel, written for all ages! It follows the perspectives of seven year old Alice, fourteen year old Trotter and her cat, Prowler, the goddess Miro and the god Stoicese. Full of magic mythical creatures, the story is a tale of one girl trying to save the world before it’s too late. Funny and touching with some twists, this is a book that is hard to put down. I can’t wait to read the rest of the Dreams of Chaos series!

Alice Will: Dreams of Chaos Book 1 by Ashley Chappell 4 Stars!!!!
This is the first book from this author I have read and I was very impressed. I like to delve into the world of Gods and Demigods. I found that the author had quite a refreshing idea and story line. I really like it when I find new authors as well as series.
I really found that the characters were well written and that the reader could easily associate to them. Trotter’s character was one that I really was drawn to . I like the fact that she had a cat guardian. I found that I could relate to her as she struggled with her status of being a demigod. The parallel to real life being that one can relate to her struggle for her to relate with her father and then later when she learns the true identity of her mother. I found that the author really balanced the drama in this book keeping the reader glued to the page. I really liked the fact that Trotter was thought to have caused a lot of the troubles unbeknownst to the others it was Alice. I like how the book brings all the pieces together at the end and leaves it open for the series. I will definitely be reading more from this author and series in the future.

Rule is the first book in The Larussio Legacy by Via Mari. I have read several books by this author and have loved every single one of them. I hang my head in shame to say that I haven’t read the Prestian Affair series yet, where we get Chase and Katarina’s story. This is a fact that I must remedy ASAP. There are several interlinked stories going on in this book and it is written from several points of view. The author used this to drive me nuts lol. As when one chapter left you hanging, the next chapter was from another POV and you had to wait to find out what happened next. To be fair, this is a great tactic from the author to keep you gripped to the story and it worked so well. So well, that I was tearing my hair out. In this book Katarina is up against the rest of the Larussio family. Her father has been badly injured in a hit and run and has left Katarina and her cousin Giovanni in charge of fulfilling his dreams, dreams which the family in Italy are against and it is Katarina’s job to convince them otherwise. In a second storyline we get to delve deeper into cousin Giovanni. Gio himself has branched out from the family business and has made himself a very wealthy man. During a flight on a private jet he meets the beautiful Serena and is smitten immediately. However, to Serena, and member of the Larussio family is the enemy and she wants nothing to do with him, even though her body is telling her otherwise. There is also the hint of a 3rd storyline starting and that is between Sheldon (a member of the Prestian security team) and Alexis who is Katarina’s stylist. I’m pretty sure there is a story here that may just make it’s way into a Billionaire’s Bodyguards book. Please, please please!! This book was amazing. It will have you on the edge of your seat with the danger and intrigue and at other time you will be fanning yourself with the steamy, hot sex scenes that Via Mari writes to perfection. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.

The Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn is an absolute fantastic series. There is nothing better than having more than one book available to you for a great series because you can just jump straight into the next book. Meghan delivers stories that will leave your heart beating fast and wanting to turn on every light in the house.
Famished is very very dark and twisted serial killer mystery thriller story that contains very disturbing and extremely graphic scenes and may cause triggers in some. This style of story may not be for everyone and certainly not for the faint of heart. But for all that it is sickening and perplexing, gruesome and in parts repulsive, Meghan did a really good job at keeping me guessing right to the very twisted and creepy end. The story is told in several POV’s and I am still a little confused at some parts but soldiered on. At the end I just sat there and went wow, what did I just read and how do I feel? I still can’t answer how I feel but the story is well written, and the characters are disturbing and damaged, and the shock factor is off the charts.
Conviction An Ash Park Novel (Volume 2) is another winner in this thriller series. The angst, the tension, the lies, the fear and the loss is so strong that you will find yourself creeping closer to the edge of your seat and your shoulders tensing with each passing page. The emotions this story provokes are at times overwhelming and the tears flow but you are so glued to the story and what is happening that you can’t break away. If Meghan makes you feel like you are in the story and it is up to you to work out what is going on but don’t be fooled because what you thought you knew may not be as it seems. This is one book that needs to be read with a good strong drink. Good work Meghan.
Repressed is the third book in the Ash Park Series and is another brilliant addition to the psychological thriller series. Repressed is a lot dark and disturbing, a little chilling and super thrilling. Whenever I read anything from Meghan, I know I am in safe hands and always enjoy the fascinating and twisted world in which she weaves. The tension and suspense that built, not only in the story but within myself as I watched what these characters went through was compelling and gripping and had me on edge right the way through. I think this maybe the best book in the series to date. Will they survive all that is thrown at them or give up and give in?
I was so engaged and engrossed in this story that I read it all in one sitting.
I highly recommend this boxset to those who like to read something dark and twisted.
