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

What a surprise this book was! I didn’t know we would be getting more from this series and what a book this was. It can essentially be read as a standalone, but I wouldn’t want to as we get to know more of the history of Petrosky in the previous books.

We are introduced to a new partner, Jackson, and I felt she was perfect to add with Petrosky.
We’re onto another killer and this one is tests Petrosky and his moral compass.
What a book. You won’t want to miss this one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alice Will is a well-written, well-paced book. It was an easy read since it’s probably aimed below my age. Nevertheless, I appreciated the world-building and I loved the main character Trotter, who is funny and adventurous and unique. Full of action, magic and fantasy, I haven’t read fantasy for a while and loved dipping back into the genre. I loved the characters and the setting, and there was enough suspense to keep me going. An enjoyable read.

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Lisa Helmick

Recall (Ash Park, #6)Recall by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a surprise to me. I really wasn’t expecting another one. So SURPRISE! This picks up after the last book. You do not need to read the previous ones to understand this one. The author does a good job smoothing in anything from previous stories into this one. Although Petrosky is easier to understand after seeing all he has been through if you have previously read these. This is as wonderful, scary and shocking as the previous ones.

Jackson (new partner) and Petrosky driving down the road. Freaking people out driving down the interstate….hilarious!! Jackson seems to add to Petrosky’s weirdness. She was a great add especially after what’s happened to his previous partners. She add some levity and sick humor as well as sarcasm.

This is another great story in the Ash Park series. Reading the end after the story. There looks to be more if these two.

Rule (The Larussio Legacy Book 1) by Via Mari – Review by Jenni Bishop

Rule The Larussio Legacy (#1)Rule The Larussio Legacy by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rule (The Larussio Legacy Book 1) by Via Mari is another great story that is part of the original story of one of the most powerful families in the world. It can be read as a standalone but as a lot of the main characters are from the original Prestian series, I would go back to the beginning so you have a much better idea where it all started. Trust me they are just as good. I love that the original characters share an active part of each of the series. I love the worlds she has created and the new characters fit in perfectly. What can I say, I love her work.

Katarina Prestian is now in charge along with her cousin Giovanni Larussio’s of making her father’s wishes come true. But there is only one thing standing in her way and threat is the rest of the Larussio family. That should be easy right? But not when the family is the Italian Mob. Can Chase and his team keep her safe and carry out her father’s dream?

Giovanni Larussio doesn’t know Katarina from Adam and doesn’t know what to expect but rest assured everything he does is for the family and nothing will get in the way of that. However, an unexpected beauty now fills his thoughts but she wants nothing to do with him and his family after what they have put her through. Can Giovanni help Katarina fulfil his uncle’s dream without upsetting the family? Can he find out the problem that is standing in his way of love and keep them all safe?

This is a definite addition to your TBR book list. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in any of the series from Via but I look forward to seeing where she goes with Sheldon and Alexis. I think it will be explosive. I just can’t get enough of any of these amazing and sexy characters.

Singles: And Other Singularities (Woman Scientist Trilogy 2, Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman is yet another great book in this series.
You are yet again taken straight into the life of Leda, someone who I think we can all relate to!! There are times when she has me laughing and times when I was to scream in frustration at her and yet it feels like what she goes through, and the decisions she has to make in life are so relatable.
It is great that this book has a serious side to it, the funny and the serious offset each other very nicely. This was a brilliant read and I can’t wait for more.

Recall is the sixth book in the An Ash Park series by Meghan O”Flynn, This book can be a stand alone novel, but you would benefit from reading the other books in the series. There are some things that show flashback and characters grow and that would be understood better if you read the other books. This book is full of mystery, suspense and murder. It is a page turner and roller coaster ride that will keep you wanting more and more. Detective Petrosky is on the job again. He is in fear that there may have been a serial killer in the making for 5 years. Will Detective Petrosky find the murder in time? Will there be more murders? You will have to read the book to find out.

The Ash Park Series Boxed Set (Books 1-3) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Angela Hayes

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: 5 of 5 stars

 

The Ash Park Series Box Set contains the first three books in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. I have read all the instalments in this series to date, and I can tell you that series just goes from strength to strength, each book delivering an intense, gripping, dark, and intense read. This box set is a great introduction to the series, three books for the price of one! Brilliant!!
This box set contains “Famished” (Book 1), “Conviction” (Book 2), and “Repressed (Book 3).

Famished (Book 1)
Famished is the first book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. It in an intense, dark, gory, clever serial killer thriller/crime novel that had me completely gripped in its hold from beginning to end. There were times I thought I should have looked away, closed the book and stopped reading because it was quite shocking and disturbing in places- but I couldn’t, I was glued to the page, heart in my mouth, on the edge of my seat trying to piece everything together and figure it all out before everything was revealed. But, wow- I did not see THAT coming, at all!!! Ms. O’Flynn spun a brilliant web of intrigue, mystery and danger- cleverly choreographing everything into a riveting story and keeping me guessing right till the very end!!

Conviction (Book 2)
Conviction is the second instalment in the gripping Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. I am really enjoying this series, as it has all the elements required to make it a great thriller. This second book could be read as a standalone, but as it has recurring characters, and some backstory from the first book- I really recommend reading book one before embarking on this one, so you get the entire picture and the ‘complete’ experience. The story is quite suspenseful, and the author did a great job of creating tension and building anticipation. I was trying to pick up any clues and piece the puzzle together to figure out what was happening and solve the mystery.
Ms. O’Flynn has woven a compelling story, full of interconnected details, multiple layers, intrigue, danger, mystery, drama, thrills, and chills. She kept me guessing the whole way through. Conviction is set about a year after Famished and we get to catch up with Shannon Taylor, Eddie Petrosky, Curtis Morrison and a few other characters who we met in book #1. Ms. O’Flynn gave this story a flavour all its own- and it’s a fantastic follow up to Famished.

Repressed (Book 3)
Repressed is the brilliant third book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. WOW! This book was intense, dark, disturbing, chilling, graphic, dramatic, and gripping!! This psychological thriller is a superb addition to the series and had me swinging between never wanting to put it down, and needing a break from the tension and suspense. 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, and this book just took the series to another level. I didn’t think it could get any better, but I was wrong! This book could be read as a standalone, if you wanted to, but there is a recurring cast of characters and snippets of backstory and previous plot information that pop up in this book, so reading all the books would give you a bigger picture and provide a larger, more developed perspective- which in turn will enhance your overall reading experience. The books are all really great- quite intriguing and suspenseful, so you it’s really a win-win situation!
I knew when I met Curtis Morrison back in book one that there was going to be so much more to him that what he was letting on, or what we were being shown- and man-oh-man this story really unveils him in a raw and revealing way! His story was startling, intense, emotional, and unforgettable! He has been through so much and come so far, but his past just won’t let him forget! After the harrowing events in the previous book, and Curtis and Shannon getting married and having little Evie, this book picks up with them adjusting to parenthood, Shannon trying to manage with Postpartum depression, and Curtis returning to work after a month off. Things are never simple in Ms. O’Flynn’s world, because it’s not long before we are once more swept into another brilliantly twisted tale. This is definitely the best out of these first three books!

If you like crime thrillers on the dark side, with intense storylines and heart-pounding twists- then this is the series for you!

Thank you, Ms. Flynn!!!

Singles and Other Singularities (The woman Scientist Trilogy 2- The Italian Saga) is the latest offering from Gaia B Amman. This series has slowly worked its way under my skin- and I can’t help being invested in these great characters and the outcome of the story/series.
Reading from book one and following along on The Italian Saga, I have enjoyed seeing the characters evolve, grow, and develop along the way. It is interesting- Ms. Amman’s descriptive and detailed style creating an entirely believable, and relatable cast of characters- and situations. I like how well rounded they are- this is definitely a character driven storyline.
Looking forward to more!

Thank you, Ms. Amman!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy’s Santa is a very well written adult book! It definitely is 18+ with the trigger warning content and some gang related activity involved. Overall great story, as Amy finds herself back in the MC compound with her family, as she struggles to hide her trauma. She’s left with some life changing choices that doesn’t seem so hard to choose. With some twists and turns, I couldn’t put the book down. It really makes me want to read the whole series before this one. As a stand alone novel it is great, however I think the characters would be easier to keep together if the original books are read first. This is my first time reading a novel from Manda Mellett, but it won’t be my last!

5 stars!

Loved it! I love books revolving around motorcycle clubs, and this one did not disappoint me. Any book that can make my heart skip a beat is a good one by me!

I did not get to read the first series, so I came in blind, but I could easily get into the story and follow along. Bless Amy’s heart, I would be torn up too if I had seen the man I was in love with in a compromising situation. Now years later, I think she is brave and has mass courage to come back to the MC for Christmas, knowing she will most likely run into Wizard. You can tell these two belong together but so much is standing in their way it seems like they will never be able to get around it and finally move on. On top of that there is Amy’s secret, and club business, it seems like everyone is in for a mess of drama. I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be checking out the other books from this series.

The Ash Park Series Boxed Set (Books 1-3) by Meghan O’Flynn. This was probably one of my most favorite series I’ve read this past year. In Famished we get to know Ash Park a run down suburb of Detroit and Hannah Montgomery who lives there.

Amy’s Santa is the first book in the second generation of Satan’s Devil MC written by Manda Mellett and its not my first book or the last book that I will read by this awesome author. The characters are great and are well written, I also loved the plot. I read this story in one sitting that how much I enjoyed this story.
Amy is going home for Christmas is something she eagerly look forward to. She can never wait to get back and see her dad, Heart, her stepmom and her younger brother and sisters, as well as the proxy cousins, uncles and aunts who she grew up with. The Satan’s Devils MC has been her family for all her life.
But this year is different she has had a rough few months she knows if she doesn’t show up there will be so many disappointed people. They will know that something is wrong if she doesn’t go home for the holiday. She also fears if she goes home, she won’t be able to keep her secret.
For the last three months Xander’s has been her rock ever since her world blew up. He has barely left her side, and he’s promised he won’t stop now. She is going to try to pretend everything is alright if is by her side.
But what happens when her façade cracks and her MC family demands answers? She can’t let the m know her secret if she does, they will surely take matters into their own hands and she can’t let that happen.

She will defiantly join in the celebrations and pretend that there’s nothing wrong she can do this, or she can’t.

You will have to read the book to see if Amy pulls of her façade. I highly recommend this story and can’t wait for book two in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I haven’t read a young teen fantasy novels in a long time. So I was a little nervous if I was going to stay interested in reading this book and not feel like the characters in the book were too young for me to connect with. Well to my surprise I was very entertained. It’s great coming of age story with a lot of action. I love watching apocalyptic movies or tv series. I find myself rooting for Alice to make the right choices when her back was against the wall being so young learning how to use her powers and so much weighing her shoulders. This book had me entrained and on the edge of my seat, just as if I was watching it on a tv series. The way the characters were Introduced and how vivid the story line was you didn’t even need your imagination to be immersed into the book as if you were a character. I was ready to read book number 2. In conclusion, this book is a great read and I recommend this book to my 14 yr old son and to anyone who’s reading this review you won’t be disappointed.

Like what? If you get pass that the book was enjoyable. Get to see this sister/ brother type relationship blossom. It was innocent and pure. The way that Drew took care of Amy and made sure her childhood wasn’t always taking care of others. She grew to be an amazing young woman. The author definitely gives a juicy story weaved with interesting characters. I really like bad boys that are softies on the inside.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start off by saying, I loved reading this book! It is a great story, and the fast that its a true story, makes it that much better. At first I was worried about the way it is written, a series of flashbacks, inside of flashbacks, and from 3 points of view. But Lisa Jones Gentry did a wonderful job keeping it all straight and making it flow smoothly. I highly recommend this book. It tells the scandalous story of how Joe Steele came to be. He is the product of a black man and a white woman, which is scandalous enough in that time, but to make things more interesting, his father was a Catholic priest, and his mother a nun. Joe was adopted, and as an adult, found out who his birth mother was and had limited contact with her. When she is sick and in the hospital, he is listed as her next of kin and is called to the hospital. They use that time for his mother to tell her story. Of how they came to meet, fall in love, and the heart wrenching act of putting their child up for adoption, and coping with the after effects of it. Wonderfully written, and brings out so many emotions.

Jax Marlin – To Catch a Marlin was an interesting 4 star read.

This story is set in the future. Pedroni is an officer and is assigned to look for a vigilante (Jax) that has taken things into their own hands when it comes to criminals.

Jax is the vigilante that Pedroni is looking for. But of course she doesn’t see herself that way, she is going after terrible people which stems from something in her past. When they meet, there is an instant connection between them. As Pedroni gets to know Jax he starts to struggle with right and wrong and starts to understand why she is doing what she is. I liked how Jax was leaving things for Pedroni. What will Jax do in the end? Will he let his feelings get in the way?

There is so much more to this great read.
I was drawn in by both characters and really loved each of them. Jax is a strong mysterious woman who can take care of herself. Pedroni was great as well. We get suspense, danger, and so much more. The author pulls you right in with her writing and you feel like you’re right there with the characters. All of the secondary characters were great. I will warn that there are some scenes that could cause triggers for some. I look forward to reading more in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and Repressed
by Meghan O’Flynn was a great 5 star read.

Famished is book one in the Ash Park series.
There are so many characters POV’s it took me a bit to get into the book and know who everyone was. Once I was familiar it was easier to follow.

Hannah is hiding, hiding away from someone who is very dangerous. She’s always jumpy and leary of things around her, just when she thought she might be safe her world is flipped upside down. He’s found her.

He watches her, he wants her, and he’s about to get his wish. He’s so close and she doesn’t even know it. What will happen when/if he gets his hands on her?

There is so much more to this read, you will be on the edge of your seat wondering what’s coming next. Each character adds a great element to the story and it seems they have their own little secrets as well. And there is a heck of a twist at the end that will leave you in shock. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I will warn that there are some scenes that may be graphic and triggers for some.

Conviction is book two in the Ash Park series.
We start with the prologue where Shannon is in court prosecuting Ashley, a woman who is accused of killing her drug dealer boyfriend. This part is in Ashley’s POV. Did she really do it? What’s going to happen to her baby?

Shannon is proud that she got a conviction in her case, but was she really the killer? Ashley’s lawyer is convinced she didn’t do it and is determined to find the truth. When some leads come in on a case that she thought was closed, things start to take some interesting twists. Shannon also finds herself in danger.

There were so many people that could be guilty my head was spinning and totally not who I thought when we finally get the answer. There were so many great characters, some likable some hateable. My heart went out to Ashley and what she was put through. This was a great edge of your seat read that pulled me right in.

Repressed is book three in the Ash Park series.
All I can say is wow, after reading this book, it was disturbing, dark, intense and twisted. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down.

I was excited to get to know Morrison better in this book. He is newly married and a new dad on top of it. He had a serious addiction in his past that has caused some blank spots in his memory. When his family is kidnapped his past comes spiraling back.

Will he be able to save them in time?

This was a fast paced read that twisted me in so many directions. There is so much going on I don’t want to give anything away. The secondary characters add a great element to the story. I have to say I wouldn’t be disappointed if Roger fell off the face of the earth, I did not care for him at all. My emotions were all over the place and I was on the edge of my seat. Meghan does a great job with her writing and all the detail, she pulled me right in. You feel like your right there with the characters. If you love dark suspense this is definitely the book for you. Warning: some scenes are gruesome and could be triggers for some.

This is a great opportunity to get all three great stories in one collection. 1-click and get started today.

Recall is the sixth book in Meghan O’Flynn’s Detective Petrosky Ash Park series! Finally he is back! I think you could read Recall as a standalone but you would get so much more out of it knowing more about our Detective Petrosky and the other recurring characters so if you can take the time, start from the beginning!
Detective Petrosky has a new partner and a new investigation that is leaving him torn as on some level he does not want the killer to stop as he has been keeping Ash Park most vulnerable safe from the criminals that Petrosky has worked so many years to put away … Our beloved Detective is still messing up his personal life but he is working on getting his act together while he is brilliantly working on his cases with a new partner who brings her own dry humor into their partnership! I promise you will get addicted as I am and you will start following (stalking) the writer to make sure you do not miss any releases!

Piper has been having weird dreams and when Noah meets Piper, he is stunned to find out she is the one that has been giving off power. What does that future hold for Piper and Noah? Read this book to find out. The story does have romantic scenes and there are moments that made me smile. There are also scenes that are suspenseful. There are additional characters that you are introduced to and that are friends with Piper and Noah. I would love to know about their backgrounds and stories. Don’t miss out on a book that you will not want to put down until you have read the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

The Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3)
By Meghan O’Flynn
5 out of 5 stars

This boxset has three stories that are amazing to read and will keep you guessing until the end. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. The storylines are amazing as well as the character. They are written in such a way that even with the situations that they personally have, you root for them to be successful. You see their human side with all of their strengths and faults. You are introduced to a young woman, a district attorney, and a detective. There are suspense and danger in each story. The stories can get emotional and I found that my emotions went up and down with the characters. Don’t miss out on a set of stories that you will not want to put down. I highly recommend reading them.

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Kerry Baker

Recall (Ash Park, #6)Recall by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Recall by Meghan O’Flynn is the sixth book in the Ash Park series. An absolutely gripping series these book will have you on the edge of your seat.
I love how familiar these characters feel now. It makes it so easy to slip back into their lives and connect with them each time I read a new book in the series.
This book is brilliant. It is full of all the twists and turns I have come to expect from this author. It is such an intense read I found myself glued to each page. I have learnt that once I start a book by Meghan O’Flynn to leave myself enough time to finish it all at once as I simply cannot put the book down when I’ve started it.
Anyone who is a fan of this genre should check out this series and this author!

Legends: Kermode (Legends, #2)Legends: Kermode by Maggie Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. It is a paranormal shifter story that is engaging and I read it in one sitting. This is a well developed story that kept me turning pages until the end. The characters brought the story to life and made me feel as if I was right there with them. Piper is in a new town and has taken over her grandparents bakery. Everyone is great until she finds herself in the forrest naked. Noah hunts rogues. He hears about Piper and is intregued enough to see if there is a danger. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next.

Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White – Review by Angela Hayes

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

3 ½ Stars

Renegade is the first book in The Mercenaries series by Raven White. This is the first book of Ms. White’s that I have read, so I was curious as to what I might find between the covers. This is a romantic suspense- with danger, mystery, opposites attract, Alpha males, and a sassy leading lady. This is a tried and true recipe, which Ms. White has put her own spin on. It is fairly predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless.
I really feel that the story could use a little more development and depth- which would make it an even better read. There were intriguing and suspenseful moments, and the chemistry between Eliza and Renegade was off the charts. So, if you like your stories on the spicy side- this definitely fits that bill.
The story definitely got better as the story evolved- but there were parts where the flow was disrupted, and the story lagged from time to time. I am intrigued by where this series is headed, so will be keeping my eye out for upcoming releases: Hacker (Book 2) and Sensei (Book 3) are listed as releasing soon.
Alpha Male sexiness meets sassy leading lady- and the sparks fly!

Thank you, Raven White!

Naughty & NiceNaughty & Nice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give this book a five star review. This book delves of the adult theme park Spicetopia as we’re introduced to Dr. Micah Greene and Natalie Roux. The two immediately click as their unspoken sexual tension steams up in unexpected ways. Their connection for one another is immediate, sexy and fascinating for the reader to explore their inner thoughts. The reader finds themselves rooting for this couple that’s two complete opposites. You have to read this one and after the first few chapters you’ll be hooked!
