Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6)Recall: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can’t even find the right words to discuss this book with the enthusiasm that it deserves, and that is saying a lot because well I love my words and I love talking lol. In all seriousness though, this book is like the icing on the cake of the Ash Park Novels. I have loved and devoured each one previous to this book at least twice now, and I foresee another reread in my near future. These books are the best of the best when it comes to thrills, suspense, intrigue, and self-taught lessons often learned the hard way. As such a fan I did some staling of Meghan O’Flynn’s other work and history and turns out she is a therapist of some kind, and I can only imagine the things she spins in her mind on the daily. I adore the way these books seem so real and vivid that you often expect to turn on the news and hear about the murders taking place in real time. Being a true crime junkie makes these books the best to feed my addiction.

Recall is the sixth book in the series, and while you could read them as stand alone novels I would highly recommend that you read the others to follow along some of our character favorites like Detective Petroski and more. I won’t give much more than what is divulged in the blurbs given by the author so I’ll just skip that part and tell you to go grab these novels. Take my word for it and carve out some time because if you are anything like me you will soon become addicted and need the whole story. I sincerely hope that someday we will get more from the ever talented Meghan O’Flynn and her Ash Park series. For now I will settle with a long, dark, and twisty reread!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is his debut novel and it is a doozy. This book is not one that I would normally pick up because I tend to get extremely overwhelmed with multiverse story lines. Now, I must say this book had its confusing times where I found myself rereading sometimes three times to finally sort it all out, but I felt like this book was worth it. That is where the key to a great book lays for me. He has managed to build up these beautiful and vibrant worlds so that you feel as if you are traversing space right along with the characters. I enjoyed the amount of effort and time that was so apparent while reading, that was put into this novel to make it all that it is. This book also incorporates a lot of different characters as well as the worlds so be prepared to take a deep breath and dedicate the time to this novel to get the maximum enjoyment out of it. I read it over holiday break so I feel like maybe I will need a reread when the tiny terrorists return to school lol. I will definitely be around for a book two to see what will come next.

Singles: ...And Other Singularities (Woman Scientist Trilogy 2, The Italian Saga)Singles: …And Other Singularities by Gaia B Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This lovely novel is book two in the Italian Saga series from Gaia B Amman.I would recommend that you read book one before diving into this one as it is a continuation of Leda’s story, our main character throughout. This book was a tad slow on the take off part of me, much like the last one I read in the series but it is still worth trudging through to get to the good parts. We see Leda finding herself is needing the work more than anything this time around. She is still trying to find that cure for cancer and works hard to overcome the obstacles that the world around places in her path. Her romance life still leaves a lot to be desired but she struggles with the balance of her work and cause and personal time. For the love of Pete, that boss though. I can’t stand her and often want to smack her right through the kindle. I admire Leda’s patience because mine would have run out a long long time ago. I look forward to seeing what adventures will come next in the saga.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goddess of the Wild Thing starts off a little slow following the death of a dear friend, and then spirals into a wonderfully scary enchanting story. Paul definitely has a way with words! This book is a mix of real world problems and is mixed with magic and dark characters. I was thoroughly impressed with Paul’s attention to detail as the book went on. A wonderful story deserving of 5 stars!

The Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and RepressedThe Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn is a great read. This set includes the first three books in the series. Famished by Meghan O’Flynn is the first book in the new Ash Park series. This book is not for the faint of heart. I had not read a serial killer book in awhile and this one crept under my skin and into my mind. The story is about Hannah Montgomery who has recently moved to the Ash Park neighborhood. She feels safe until things start to change. Her past starts to haunt her and terrify the entire neighborhood. This story has some twists and turns, graphic detail of the killings, and some good characters. The POV changes between characters and at times became a bit convoluted. At times I feel like this helped to add to the suspense and horror. Overall this was a good read and I will be looking for the next book in the series.
Conviction by Meghan O’Flynn is the second book in the Ash Park series. This focuses on District Attorney Shannon Taylor who is strong in her convictions. This book is hard to put down and this says a lot because many do not keep me on the edge of my seat. I was involved in all the twists and turns. The characters are well written and developed. I had read the first book and was taken in by the writing. This second book did not disappoint. I look forward to reading further in the series.
Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn is the third book in the Ash Park Series. This story focuses on Curtis Morrison and him having to confront his past. He has a wonderful life as a police officer with a wife and child. Everything looks great for him until his past comes back to haunt him. He has to deal with these repressed memories or his wife and child might be lost to him forever at the hands of a sadistic person.
This is best read in order but can be read separately. The characters are so well developed from book to book and the stories are intertwined wonderfully. This is gory and scary at times and not for the weak of heart. I had to pause at moments to get away from the intensity but could not stay away for long. If you like suspense, mystery, and twists this is for you.

Goddess of the Wild Thing: A Dynamic Spiritual Journey by Paul DeBlassie is a 3 star read.
This story was like nothing I’d ever read before, I will admit a lot of the story went over my head and I had to re-read some of it a few times for it to make sense and even then I only got about half of it. This author has a unique style of writing that will appeal to many readers unfortunately I wasn’t one of them. I would encourage people to try this book for themselves as this in only my opinion.

If magical happenings, witches and love are the type of book you like, I recommend giving Goddess of the wild thing a chance! Eve is our main female character, she will lead you through trying to find love, and if bad love is better than no love at all. With so many amazing characters around her, you’ll fall under Paul DeBlassie’s spell in this novel. Love, magic and good vs evil witches- a recipe for success!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Ash Park Series Boxed Set by Meghan O’Flynn is full of mystery, thriller, and suspense all rolled up into one. O’Flynn does an amazing job of setting up the scene in which her characters are apart of the story. The characters are complex-complicated and are easy to form a bond. I loved how I felt I was on the character’s side going through everything that they did. I did read this book at night and it gave me the chills and the little hair on my neck. I was on the edge of my seat at times and the roller coaster ride of emotions was well worth it. I did stagger the books to read them separately and but I could not wait to read the next book. This box set is definitely on the reading list.

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn. I love this series its about Detective Petrosky whose daughter was brutally murdered but things are finally looking up for him. He and his ex are on speaking terms, his new partner is good but the criminal world is still alive and well. When a councilman’s son is murdered the city turns into mass choas and even though there is no forensic evidence it looks like a professional hit. After searching for the killer and realizing they had killed at least 2 other people are they dealing with a serial killer? Petrosky and his partner are working amazing together and they are hoping to find this killer before even more people end up dead. I have loved reading about Petrosky, he has become one of my most favorite characters I’ve ever read. You can read this book as a standalone but it will be even better if you read all the previous books! These books can be dark and deal with sensitive topics but they are sooo good!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Maggie is the first book in the Maggie Trilogy by Mya O’Malley. It is a very well written paranormal romance. This is the first time I have read any work by this author so was unsure what to expect from this book. I have to say that I was hooked from the very first page and did not want to put this book down. Damn real life for getting in the way and making me go to work wondering what was going to happen next.
Naomi is a writer who moves into a house on the edge of a graveyard. When the spirit of one of the dead people in the graveyard regularly visits her house, Naomi becomes intrigued as to how this young girl (Maggie) died. When Naomi delves further and further into Maggie’s death, she’s convinced that her death was not the drowning accident that the police are saying it was.
There is so much to this story that will take your breath away. There are many twists and turns that leave you reeling and a conclusion you will not see coming.
An important element to the story is Naomi’s relationships. She’s recently split from the dangerous controlling Nick, who she is afraid of. She has been having a relationship with Ryan who becomes more like her best friend rather than a boyfriend. Then there is the gorgeous single dad Bryce who has just moved in beside her who has her heart fluttering just by being in his presence.
This is a fantastic book. The storyline will have you hooked and the characters are so well written. This book sucks you in and doesn’t let you go. I can’t wait to read the other 2 books in this trilogy which are sitting in my kindle shouting to me.

Maggie was so full of twists and turns it was so hard to put down. Although I had my suspicions about certain aspects, I was never quite sure until all was explained. I have not read a lot of supernatural type books before but really enjoyed this one and look forward to reading the sequels. It will be interesting to see how Mya O’Malley develops the core characters Naomi and Bryce.

Maggie by Mya O’Malley is book one of the Maggie Trilogy. This book is not like many of the other books I’ve read. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I really enjoyed it!

Naomi is a very imaginative writer and tries to stay open to her surroundings and uses it as inspiration for her novels. Maggie has been a huge inspiration for Naomi and there is sure a mystery to solve. While Naomi tries to solve Maggie’s mystery, she also has her hands full when she meets Ryan and then Bryce. Who knew, after her dating past, that she’d find two great guys.

This book was very entertaining and I couldn’t put it down! I had to know what was going to happen next. It was impossible to predict what was going to happen and how things would play out which made the book even better to read. I can’t wait to read book two!

Maggie (Maggie Trilogy Book 1) by Mya O’Malley was a thrilling read! Normally I would never mix a thriller with the supernatural but I could not resist. This book had me struggling to put the book down, I was captivated by the story. The plot is thick and keeps you glued to your screen. I am sure just the thrills and chills will give me nightmares but it will be well worth it. I could easily see everything unfolding like a movie, I cannot wait to get into books 2 and 3.

Naomi just moved in to what should be her dream writing home! An old house sitting on the edge of a cemetery with graves dating back to the 1700s. It’s definitely a paranormal writers dream! Then weird things start happening and she finds that the house and land beyond is haunted by a young lady named Maggie. Naomi decides Maggie’s story is the next thing she’s going to write and finds herself in serious danger as she digs deeper into her investigation.
She finds herself torn between two seemingly perfect men, Ryan and Bryce. Oh, and also has her ex stalking her!

What will she find as she continues to dig? Will she solve the mystery or die trying? This story is filled with mystery and keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen next. There’s a huge plot twist at the end (but I’m proud to say I saw it coming!) This was an interesting read and I’m looking forward to what comes next in this series.

Everyone loves a second chance story. Those stories that take you back to a time that seemed like nothing could go wrong. Book 3 was the perfect completion to this trilogy. Connor and Mary Ann are perfect for each other. I love sweet stories that make you feel mushy on the inside. I really like this author. This was the perfect read for me during this holiday season. It gave me a little hope that no matter the situation something amazing could come out if it. I’m not an animal person so I could do without the cat. The author gas a very pleasant writing style. It’s not bunched together giving you too much but just enough to keep your interest. Anyone that can make you smile just from the thought if them has my stamp of approval. I will be holding out for my second chance. You shouldn’t wallow and most definitely not settle.

This is about the build of a club, brotherhood and trust. I liked learning about what it takes to get a club off the ground and running. Most times I read about an established club..so that was different.

Reading this was a struggle for me. There is stilted conversation and many times I had to reread a section over to try to make sense of it That ended up frustrating me and I would just move on.

I really liked how interesting the characters were and enjoyed the bit of humor mixed into this story. I enjoyed the author’s creativity and writing style. The main character Tanuja was different than your typical female heroine. It cracked me up how she just fell asleep with the beginning action packed situation at the start of the book. She had excellent yet tragic backstory that helped shaped her character. She was fun to follow. I enjoyed the detail of this novel as well. Overall it was a fun read that I enjoyed. I definitely recommend this book.

I love a good mystery story and while we get that with this book, for me personally, I finished this book feeling confused more than anything.
I was drawn right into this book and really wanted to know more of our female lead and while we learned her story along the way, I couldn’t really connect with her like I wanted as we go into so many different characters thoughts and actions, it took away from that, for me.
I really cant wait to read the rest of this series as I want to know what happens next and maybe get some answers for this book too.

This is yet another dark, twisted, great read from this series and each one leaves me wanting more! Cant wait to read the next one

4 stars

This story gives you a new level of appreciation for the multiverse theory. You have multiple people across space and time that hear one voice with the same message. I used to dislike how people just become heroes when they didn’t want to. Like the weight of the world rest solely on you. The author gave it a little twist and it changed my opinion slightly. These individuals seemed to mesh well. The goal was clear and it felt like everyone was willing to play their roles. There a multiple POVs and many layers. It gets a little wordy in places and it drags. But the adventure and characters keep you interested. I kept reading because of the suspense. You just can’t help but see what happens next. The amount of time of thought put into the details is amazing. To connect so many worlds, times and people in one story is amazing. It did get overwhelming keeping up with who is who but overall it was a really great read. If I was really inti sci-fi it would be a close top 5.

Goddess Of The Wild Thing: A Dynamic Spiritual JourneyGoddess Of The Wild Thing: A Dynamic Spiritual Journey by Paul DeBlassie III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goddess of the Wild Thing was a good story. Paul DeBlassie III did a phenomenal job at writing! There is some in-depth psychology stuff going on throughout, but especially in the beginning, and it was a little difficult for me to get in to at first. It’s a great psychological fantasy novel, but I wouldn’t recommend it to a first time fantasy reader. The novel picks up the pace about halfway through, but I had a lot of trouble in the beginning figuring out the plot, and the characters, and overall what was going on. It felt like I was just kind of dropped in the middle of a novel, and left to figure things out. But after the beginning, when the plot starts picking up and making sense, about halfway through, it gets much better! I am curious about reading other novels from DeBlassie in the future!

Set it Free is the long-awaited third book in T.Birmingham’s Fallen Eagles MC series! At least I have been waiting for it FOR EVER! I fell in love with the Markham sisters when I read the first book of the series and the ones who have read the first book you know very well how much Spring deserved her own book! You should NOT read any of the books in the series as standalones! If you do attempt, I promise you will give up and go back to the beginning to do it the right way!
Set it Free is the story of the oldest Markham sisters – Spring and she has finally reached the crossroads and she needs surface and find herself again or … and it is the story of Callum “Casper” Gordon who has lived his life without any commitment and not needing a family … he is there to clean up other’s messes and he is always to leave first …
It is beautifully crafted story that stays with you for a while … it makes you cry and it makes you rage and it makes you fall in love, again, with life and living and yourself! I cannot wait to see what the writer has in store for Autumn and the rest of the MC!

New Mexico is the stage, and L. Ann Marie is the author. Her description of her characters were spot on. I could see them as clear as day. Her writing of this book makes it a fast-paced page turner. I love stories about MotorCycle Clubs. Phoenix is another trustworthy group of men and women. Cort and Serena are the main characters. Such a great couple. But finding a band of trust worthy brothers, makes this story worth the read. L. Ann Marie is a new author for me. She did not disappoint! I am looking forward to book 2.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Masters’ Rise is the first book in the Phoenix series by L Ann Marie. It was the first time that I had read any of this author’s work and I have to admit that it took me a little bit to get into this book but once I did, I really did enjoy it. I have read other MC books but found this one very different for the others that I have read. This book was very descriptive and gave much more insight into the day to day running of an MC. I also found this book to be more violent than others that I have previously read.
I really loved the main characters of Cort and Seren. The attraction and chemistry between them was instant and grew and grew as the story progressed. I loved how Seren took absolutely no nonsense from Cort, even though he was the president of a MC. For a man who was used to having everyone at his beck and call, it was a breath of fresh air to have someone say no to him and answer him back.
I really enjoyed the plot and storyline although at the beginning I was confused as to who were the good guys and who were the bad guys as there are so many secondary characters in the book. It did take me a while to understand who was who. I do hope we get to see a lot more from some of the other characters as the series progresses.

MaggieMaggie by Mya O’Malley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Naomi fell in love with her little house that was built centuries ago, with a backdrop of a cemetery in her backyard. She was drawn to it for many reasons, even some she3 doesn’t recognize. Her life has been a bit chaotic and she finds herself suddenly wrapped up in one crazy mishap after another while trying to navigate her social life. Much to her dismay, her friend Amy convinces her to go on blind double dates over and over, trying to help her to overcome the aftermath of a disastrous relationship. In the course of these adventures, she meets a mysterious man who piques her interest in many ways. He’s kind, adventurous has a lof of life and full of kindness she hasn’t always known. His interest in her life feels just so good. Then walks in Bryce and she’s suddenly trying to maneuver her feelings for both men while tackling her writer’s block and a beloved cat’s antics that have her scratching her head.

What Naomi doesn’t see coming is the appearance of Maggie, the ghost of a young woman who is in peril. She can’t move on, is restless and is in desperate need of peace. In order to find that peace, she’s drawn to Naomi and attempts to get her to help her find what she seeks. Through their interactions, Naomi is faced with a mystery she’s determined to figure out. She’s going to figure it out, even if it costs her the love of a good friend, a budding relationship and oddly enough, some of her sanity.

Through this whole adventure, she’s on, I found myself totally enraptured. The characters are well built, entertaining and have a touch of rawness that makes them so real. I never saw it coming, the truth behind Ryan, what really happened to Maggie and even Nick’s involvement in some of it. I loved how I was so caught up in their story. I felt all the emotions and then some. It’s such a good book with a paranormal spin that added a terrific layer to the mystery. I commend the author for making the paranormal happenings believable and real. I felt an awesome connection to Maggie and Naomi. It’s such a fabulous read!

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

I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading. There were twists and turns, and as soon as you thought you knew what was going on there was a twist, it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. It was interesting and entertaining to see how Zelda (the cat) reacted to Maggie. Naomi was very open minded to the ghost in her house. Although Naomi could be very naive at times she did have a big heart and truly wanted to help. Even though Naomi just got out of a bad relationship she was still willing to let her friend set her up, which turned out to be a very bad date. If it wouldn’t have been for that bad date she wouldn’t have met Ryan who happen to be at the bar when she was on her bad date. Ryan was very attractive and there seemed to be a connection right away. Bryce and Holly, Naomi’s attractive new neighbor and his daughter are two refreshing characters in this story. I don’t want to give anything away but I loved this book, there is romance, suspense, and some wonderful characters and I highly recommend reading it.

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore – Review by Elizabeth Clark

/0 Comments/in /by

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is a book full of mystery, suspense and interesting characters. This book is well written and the amount of detail will make you think you are actually inside the book.

Somebody in the Neighborhood is about a young woman Dawn who moves to Florida into her recently deceased Aunt’s house. Dawn’s Aunt Amy is the 2nd murder victim in the small Florida community. With the killer still unknown Dawn finds suspicious characters all around her. While reading this book I thought I knew who the killer was until the next chapter and I would think it was someone else. This author did a fantastic job writing this book. I liked her characters and found myself turning pages as fast as possible so I could figure out who the killer was.

This book is more than just a murder mystery it is also a story about a young woman growing into her own. Watching Dawn grow throughout the book was beautiful and inspiring. Dawn becomes an independent, strong woman ready to take on the world. I enjoyed reading this book and reading Dawn’s story.

And you will never guess who the killer is..

4 Stars

This is my first book by this author and in doing research I see that there are many books I need to go back and read. I love MC books, they are among my favorites.

I did have trouble at first wondering if I was missing a lot of this story, which is why I went looking through her books. She did a good job of updating things but I still felt like I was missing something. Once I got towards the middle I found myself totally invested in all of these people. I loved Cort and I truly felt for him after reading and understanding his story, and his brothers totally won my heart with trying so hard to make things right for him. I loved Seren in this story as well, she was totally awesome and their story was written different then Im used to and I really liked it even if I can’t explain it LOL

I definitely did not like the town, it was a complete mess but what Cort and his brothers were trying to do to fix it was awesome and I must also mention this is one of the first books I’ve ever read that I actually felt present at the start of an MC and that was cool! I can’t wait to move forward with this series and see who we get to know more about. I loved so many of the secondary characters that I hope this series covers them all.

Took me a bit to fall into the writing style of this author…I had to go back and read sometimes two or three times to figure out the change of scenes or what was happening, but once I got a grip on it I was fine so hopefully the next book I won’t have any issues at all.

Really enjoyed it and can not wait for more.
