Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn
Genre – Hard-boiled detective/crime thriller
Page Count – 270 pages
Publishing Company – Pygmalion Publishing
Things are finally looking up for Detective Petrosky. Sure, his daughter’s still dead, his granddaughter’s in another state, and they keep putting lemon in his freaking water, but he’s sober, his ex-wife no longer hates him—as much—and his new partner is as good at police work as she is at matching his snarky comebacks. But criminals don’t take a break; those bastards never sleep.
When a councilman’s son is brutally murdered, the city explodes into controversy. Though the teen appears to have been ambushed in a random attack, there’s no forensic evidence at the scene, and the boy’s neck was snapped as quickly and efficiently as if it were a professional hit. Was the murder politically motivated? Or was the victim involved in something else—something bigger? Perhaps the slaying is linked to the old crime scene photos the victim had been collecting, some from cases Petrosky himself worked. And whoever murdered their victim killed at least two others. Ash Park may be dealing with a serial killer five years in the making.
But the victims from these older cases are far from innocent—each appears to have been killed during an attempted rape. Is their suspect a cold-blooded murderer, or a hero vigilante? And what does any of it have to do with the councilman’s son? All Petrosky knows is that until now, their perp has been protecting the most vulnerable citizens of Ash Park from the very worst of humanity—from the criminals Petrosky himself has spent his entire career trying to put away.
And Petrosky isn’t sure he wants him to stop.
Riveting, and as dark as it is mysterious, Recall pushes the boundaries of right and wrong and turns the notion of justice on its head. Fans of Harlan Corben, Lee Child, and Karin Slaughter will love the Ash Park series.

Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows (Book Two 2)Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows by Kimm Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second Book in the series and I thought it was just as good as the first one. I would recommend reading this series in order. I was pulled in from the very beginning with this one and it was so chock full of action and suspense, I was in the edge of my seat throughout it. There’s murderers, danger and alot of adventures. It was a great read to pass the time with I would recommend this to anyone that likes suspenseful books.
Happy reading!

Jax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin by T.K. Toppin – Review by Kayla Interdonato

Jax Marlin - To Catch A MarlinJax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin by T.K. Toppin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jax Mariln – To Catch a Mariln by TK Toppin is the ultimate blend of sci-fil, mystery, thrill, and romance. Jax Mariin is a vigilante that keeps Special Inspector Michael Pedroni on his toes. The story is based in the future on Earth as well as other worlds beyond. As you read of Jax’s past, the reader can understand why she takes criminal matters into her own hands. Jax is a character I quickly began to fall in love with a strong lead female character. Then the mystery of Jax and Pedroni’s relationship begins to develop. Why is Jax leaving criminals for Pedroni to discover? Why is Pedroni not able to restrain Jax when he had the chance? I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story by TK Toppin and look forward to reading others by her.

Amy’s Santa is the first book in Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation Series by Manda Mellett. I have to say this new generation series is even better than the original. This story grabbed my attention from the start and I couldn’t put it down until the last. Amy coming home after being away so long, and bringing a new man with her really stirs things up at the club. Drew is now the President and he doesn’t know how to take Xander. This story is packed with all the feels. I’m really glad that we get glimpses of the older members. I can’t wait to read more of the Satin’s Devils new generation. Excellent read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1 by Manda Mellet was a book I couldn’t put down. I was stuck at home sick while the husband was out of town and I normally have a problem focusing on reading when I’m home alone, but not this time. Not sure if it’s due to knowing the characters and a lot of them I have known most of if not all of their lives or because the story grabbed me from the beginning. I’m leaning towards a bit of both.

Holy cow, Amy is all grown up now and has a life of her own outside of Tuscon. Overall life has been good for her until just recently. Her story broke my heart and brought out the protective Mama in me, luckily she has great support from her friends and family even if she hasn’t been exactly forthcoming with everything.

The more books I read about the Satan’s Devil’s the more in love with everyone I fall. So looking forward to this next generation and their stories.

Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White was a super steamy read. This was a quick and steamy read. The story was good and the twist was interesting. Eliza was a spunky character read, I loved that she was not a whiny submissive character. Renegade was steam and alpha male energy from the first point of view.

5 stars

I must start this by saying I was nervous to see a new series based around another series but I shouldn’t have worried as Via Mari knows what she’s doing!
We get 4 pov’s in this book, Chase, Katarina, Gio and Serena. We get the same heat and passion as with all her books, but we also get to see more in depth of the goings on inside the family business.
I can’t really say much it would give this whole story away, but I will say I loved the news we learn and can’t wait to find the answer to that burning question. And we have some other unanswered questions around many other people too! Bring on the next please!

4 Stars!!!!

I have to say that I was not let down. This is yet another great book from this author and the series. I really like the writer’s style and story line. I found myself lost in the story and felt as though I was right in the story with the characters.

I really like the complexity of Amy and Wizard’s(Drew) relationship. Although I felt Xander’s pain I totally like how the author was able to handle that and build the drama that really made the story. I like how the author brings in the past to shape the future. I found that I could relate to Amy’s character as I have some similarities in my life. I will definitely be reading more from
this author in the future and hopefully this series.

5-Stars

Forbidden Love; Written by Lisa Jones Gentry, As Told by Joe Steele was a wonderfully written book. It was easy for me to fall into this story as Joe shared his biological parents’ story. Their love of God and the romance that developed between them was beautiful. I truly felt the emotion behind this story and felt it the entire time I was reading. I loved how the different scenes were organized and dated accordingly. It was easy to know where the story was taking place and also what year. I absolutely loved this book and I highly recommend it.

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1 by Manda Mellett, 4 stars.

If you have read the Satan’s Devils books, you will be familiar with Amy and Drew. While Amy has been away at college and then starting a career for herself, she had a dark tragedy happen that almost broke her. But she proves how strong she really is and is still going, with the help of a very good friend. Now it’s time to go back to her family for Christmas. But she doesn’t want her family to know. Then she sees Drew again and cannot seem to keep her eyes off him.

Drew has proven himself and with lots of hard work and dedication, excels in computer sciences and becomes the new president of the club. That is all he as thought about until now. But seeming Amy again, he thinks maybe it’s time to have a woman by his side. Yet she has come with another man. Not to mention the haunted look in her eyes. Can he win her away?

This book is quite a bit darker to me than the other Devil’s books. If you are sensitive to sexual violence, you may not want to read this. That having been said, it is such a good book and I could not put it down. We again meet the characters we have come to love to well. Besides the love and attraction between Drew and Amy, this book is about love and family, and what they will do for another of their own.

If you are a fan of hot MC romance, this book is for you.

Amy’s Santa (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1) by Manda Mellett – Review by Naomi McDonald

Amy's Santa (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #1)Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy’s Santa is the first book in the Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation series. You can read this story as a standalone, however you’ll feel more connected to the characters if you’ve read books in the previous Satan’s Devils series.

If you are sensitive to descriptions of violence in general, and/or violence against women, you’ll want to read with caution.

I always love to see what this author is going to do with the characters. She tells a great story with real-to-life elements, which make you feel like you are immersed in their experience. I won’t give away the story too much. I’ll say that I felt for Amy. It’s devastating when your trust is violated. I also felt bad for Xander. I mean, I get it, but also……sad. On a lighter note, the Santa hat cracked me up.

Overall, this was a great read. There were light and dark elements that kept the story balanced and entertaining. I’m not big on holiday themed books, but this one was an excellent choice.

Jax Marlin - To Catch A MarlinJax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin by T.K. Toppin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

SPOILER: This story contains some dark subject matter and may be triggering to anyone that’s dealt with sexual assault.

Jax Marlin-To Catch a Marlin is a story about overcoming your past. Set in the future, this is the story of Jax-a vigilante, and Pedroni-the Inspector in charge of capturing her. After a traumatic childhood, Jax is determined to right wrongs and make criminals pay. Pedroni is a cop from a long line of cops and just can’t understand why people take the law into their own hands. After much fighting, destruction, and chasing-they realize they are not that different and they’ve come to love each other.

I liked the overall premise, but for me this book was just ok. I’m sure that it’s just a matter of personal preference and others would greatly enjoy the story. 3 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So I really had zero idea what to expect of this novel when I picked it up. I haven’t had the pleasure of reading Ashley Chappell prior but I knew that I wanted to know what happened between the colorful and gripping cover of Alice Will: Dreams of Chaos. This book really sucked me in and took me on an unexpected adventure probably from page one. I have to say that is saying a lot because I normally don’t find books with talking animals very enjoyable. I suppose you could say I am a jaded adult and just seem to not enjoy them. Yall this book took that prejudice and threw it right out the window. I loved how this book played with philosophical ideas and made them fun to read about. I am struggling to find the words to properly describe this book without giving away too much or simply repeating the already existing synopsis. Just prepare to expect the unexpected and get swept away into a world you won’t want to soon leave. I am so excited to get my hands on the next installment!

Wow, where do I even start with this novel, Jax Marlin – To Catch A Marlin by TK Toppin??? I suppose it should go without saying, but the cover to this book is what drew me in. The bright and loud attention grabbing face right there lures you in to find out what this book could possibly be all about. I have never read anything from TK Toppin prior to this so I went in blind solely based off the cover and a few teasers I had come across my feed. I am glad that I did because this novel really sucked me in on an unexpected adventure to the future.

This book really has a bit of everything in it, creating a perfect novel to most people. I loved how the sci-fi futuristic things were not only unexpected but felt very realistic and possible. I found myself feeling as if I was right there in whatever world our author has created for that moment, along with the characters as they experience things first hand. I had not expected it but I loved it. Then throw in the cat and mouse mystery and you literally are on the edge of your seat from beginning to end to find out what will happen and how things will all come to a conclusion. I am so excited to also find out that there will be more, some already available to read, in this series. I look forward to getting lost in them soon and am anxious to find out what else TK Toppin has available to read.

Renegade (The Mercenaries #1)Renegade by Raven White
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have never read anything by the talented Raven White prior to seeing Renegade. However, when I saw this cover and read the blurb and a few teasers I knew I had to find out what story this book held. I am glad that I picked it up and will be checking out the rest of the series now as they come. I had a few things that were somewhat confusing while I read this book, but I found that the writing became more structured and easy to follow as the book wore on. This made me struggle with my rating and gave it a good solid four stars. I just would like to see a cleaner flow in the next book so I will keep an eye out for that one.

The storyline is fairly simple revolving around a friends to lovers/ love at first sight concept. It was predictable as far as romance novels go but I don’t think that was the true beauty in this one anyway. The scenes, world-building and the sexy swagger really made this book all it is. I found myself fanning my face several times as I read about the sexcapades our two main characters embark on. Whew! So expect that romance, heat, and kink, to be hot and spicy. Make sure that is your cup of tea before reading as well. I loved this factor, so for me it was not a problem. Like I said this is book one in the Mercenaries Series so there will be more and I’ll be right there for it ready to see what will happen next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have always found it easy to fall in love with Judy Moore’s crime and suspense novels every time I pick one up and this one, Somebody in the Neighborhood, is no different from the rest. I loved how this book flowed and kept me guessing all the way up until the last few scandalous chapters where everything falls into place perfectly like a grand jigsaw puzzle.

Somebody in the Neighborhood has us following a young woman named Dawn. We soon find out that her aunt has been murdered and she will be moving into the house she lived in to see if you can find out more information about how and why her aunt had to die. Things get extra dark and twisty as you find out that each of the neighbors are harboring secrets and possibly the identity of the true killer. Dawn will put everything at risk to find the answers. Things move super fast and evolve perfectly in this novel and I found myself done with it way before I wanted to be lol. I can see myself re-reading this one to look for things I might have missed the first time around, and it’s just that good I need more in my life of it. I look forward to seeing what the next intriguing suspense novel we will get from Judy Moore.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars (Book 2) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Liz Vrchota

Magic-Scars (The Crown of Stones, #2)Magic-Scars by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

CL Schneider has quickly become my go to for book with sci-fi and magic details that will promise to keep me enthralled. Normally this isn’t my go to for genres but I can never deny myself the chance to discover the books Schneider puts out.

The Crown of Stones: Magic Scars is book two in The Crown of Stones series from CL Schneider. I would highly recommend that you read the first book, Magic-Price, before diving into this one. Be prepared to be sucked in and have a huge need to get your hands on book three as soon as you can. I sure know I have found my anxiety fully ready for it after this book because I know there is more to the story we didn’t get here that will be in the next novel.

In Magic-Scars we find Ian waking in a strange dark prison and he has zero idea about the basics; who, what, where, and why. The worst of it all is that he has been drugged in order to suppress his magic from being used. The world around him is a disaster and he will struggle to put the pieces together to be able to be whole enough to fight and protect the ones he loves and cares for. This book is vivid and gorgeously written with so much detail you will feel as if you are right there in the novel with Ian. I loved this and felt like I literally sat on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading, all the way till the last page. I am so anxious to read book three!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alice Will: Dreams Of Chaos by Ashley Chappell a four-star read that will whisk you away. Alice and Trotter are both very complex characters, they each face different difficulties but, in some ways, they face the same. This is a great young adult fantasy series, it has the best qualities of the genre, showing us the difficulties young people face and how together they can share the burden. This has great highs and depths that will have laughing and then feeling despair and compassion. This shows us a great start to what I hope is a great series, I haven’t read the author before, but I will be keeping an eye out now. This is a great story, of powers and gods and worlds that will keep you in suspense and surprise you at every turn.

Misplaced (Joined Book Two) by Mara Gan – Review by Sarah Oakes

Misplaced: Joined: Book TwoMisplaced: Joined: Book Two by Mara Gan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about theft. Meda wakes up on a beach with no memories except her name. She tries to make a life for herself on an unfamilair world and ends up stealing to make ends meet. In her own way, she does what she can to help those in need under a corrupt and tyrannical Prince. But can her meddlesome ways keep her out of trouble or will she end up in danger?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Meda as brave and bold but kind underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the concerned Kako or the enigmatic Kyrios.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the white beaches and grass and blue sky in the sun drawing the reader in with exotic beauty. Or the volcano inside the island under the clear sky with the sound of the birds as fantastical yet serene, wonderfully written. Or with the market on the island later on full of life and people with the food and wares with their sights and sounds and smells so vivid its as if you’re actually there.
A great example of world building with a fantasy world with its own geography and history, full of life and colour. The first person narrative worked well to display Meda’s journey to find herself again. I also loved the use of Greek mythology with characters true to their origins and given the respect they deserve, with some new perspectives on characters like Medusa that were a lovely touch. The only issue I would raise is that it felt slow to start. It also had lot sof long sentences making it hard to read which could be resolved with a variety of sentence lengths. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

“Somebody in the Neighborhood” is a whodunit murder mystery filled with twists, turns, and drama. I found myself being suspicious of a lot of the characters for the murder of the main character, Dawn’s, aunt. I did end up guessing correctly who the murderer was, but the story ended perfectly with a twist. It definitely makes you wonder what secrets people, especially those you’re close to, have. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation # 1 by Manda Mellett is a suspenseful / romantic book. From the first page I was hooked and didn’t put it down until the very last page. It takes you on so many twists and turns that you aren’t really sure what’s coming next. I fell in love with both Drew and Amy from the start who are the main characters. Amy is coming home for Christmas like she does every year but this year is harder. When she’s trying to hide something from her MC family and isn’t sure she can pull it off. But can she keep it to herself? How will her future look after all this? I highly recommend reading this book.

A song to remember was a short read but interesting. To find your fated mate is a blessing to have to find them with no memory tragic. I do wish this story was longer just so I could get to know the characters better. Emma seemed like a good character and hopefully we get to see her grow. Shane and Bekah were fated but it seemed that everyone was against them. I felt like a lot was missing from the story due to its length. It was put together well though. They had to jump through a few hoops to get to their HEA but it was well worth the wait. I’m going to look into more by this author just because it wasn’t a bad read and the story had a lot of potential.

Charlie is a divorced mother of two that is returning to the town she grew up in to get her life back on track. Leaving Manhattan, and her ex-boyfriend, and moving back to Maine is about spending time with her kids and finding herself again. Remodeling her family home to include a skate park for the kids and a workspace for herself is just the fresh start they all need. However, it takes two months for her ex-husband, Johnnie, to show his face and let her know that their son, Jace, is unhappy with the move. Oh, and Johnnie wants to stick around to find himself and ensure his son finds happiness again.
Oh…Johnnie is also still in love with Charlie and knows she is the glue that keeps him together. But they have been down this path and have hurt each other along the way. There may be too many past demons and lies for them to have the future they both hint at wanting. Being a guest on Charlie’s property is a start, but an accident sets into motion a series of events that could help them find each other again. Can they both set their pride aside long enough to what’s best for both the children in their lives and find their way back to each other?
This story was full of ups and downs. The moment I thought they would finally get through their issues, something would happen that would set them back. I did find myself engaged with the story the whole time and wanting to read the next chapter to see where it would lead. Monica DeSimone is a new author to me, but I found her writing style to be enjoyable and I would not hesitate to read something by her in the future.

Maggie (Maggie Trilogy Book 1) by Mya O’Malley

5-Stars

Maggie (Maggie Trilogy Book 1) by Mya O’Malley was an exciting read. I loved the romance, mystery, and paranormal aspect of the story. Naomi is new to the town and is an author. Her new muse is a ghost haunting had. She is also dealing with issues from a past romance and is torn between two new guys. She is determined to figure out what happened to her muse and caused her to die. Maggie was too young to die.

The storyline is amazing and easy to get lost in. I could not put this book down. The characters were developed well and realistic. I found it easy to place myself in Naomi’s shoes in the story. I can’t wait to read the next book in this collection. I highly recommend it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alice Will: Dreams of Chaos Book 1 by Ashley Chappell has been one of my favorite reads. I loved the details that Ashley Chappell included in this book. The world was well built and I enjoyed the plot twists. It has been a while since I loved a teenage heroin in a sci fi setting. I loved following Trotter on her journey and even as an adult can relate to some of her insecurities.
