Red’s Peril Part 1: The making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devils MC Vegas Chapter) by Manda Mellett – Review by Ashleyann Sanabria

Red's Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez (Satan's Devils MC Vegas #1)Red’s Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh what a book! I have read a few Satan’s Devils MC books, but I have never before gotten such an intriguing and thorough look into a main character before. Seeing through Red’s eyes, from his life before Satan’s Devils and then through it was such an enjoyable ride. Though there was not a romance as the main plot, the book was not lacking in spice either. The plot twist at the end was hinted at, but still unexpected. All this resulted in me staying up way past my bedtime to not only finish this book, but start the next! I also really love how it touches on diversity, which was a pleasant surprise for a motor cycle club book! I love diverse representation, but have not come to expect it from this genre. Needless to say, this author has risen to be one of my very favorites and I fully intend to not only read all Satan’s Devils MC books, but anything else by her!

If you are looking for action, spice, plot twists, a bit of mystery, close found family bonds, and great problem solving, definitely give this book a try. It does touch on some happenings in some of the other Satan’s Devils MC books, so if you are a purist in your reading order, I would start from the beginning. If not, you will spoil some surprises along the way. Whichever way you read this series, the important thing is that you read it! I feel like by now, all the Satan’s Devils members have become some of my closest friends, though fictional, haha.

Tally and the Angel: Book One, India by Eleanor Dixon – Review by Cathy Greene

Tally and the Angel : Book One IndiaTally and the Angel : Book One India by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tally and the Angel is a cute and inspiring story with mystery, friendship, life lessons and some fantasy thrown in. It’s a great story that any young reader would enjoy. Tally is such a sweet girl who has just had a heartbreaking experience and now has to adjust to her new life, she shows such bravery and strength as she tries to solve the mystery in India with her angel. I enjoyed learning more about Jophiel and watching his and Tally’s friendship grow. I loved how even an ancient being like Jophiel could learn and be inspired by a young girl who only wants to do what’s right which is sometimes not always easy to do or understand.

This was a cute book to teach that greatness comes from your actions, not from how much money you have or how popular you are. It could have used more pictures for the intended age group. But it was a cute book and would be a hit with children that love cats.

Apocalypse Thoughts by Kendra Griffin

5-stars

Wow!! What a time to read a story like this one, one about trying to survive a pandemic, albeit ours doesn’t involve zombies (thank goodness). This obviously hit close to home as we are currently in the middle of our very own pandemic, and for that reason at times it felt hard to read because it was just so real and I could relate to Kella and her internal dialogue.

I love how this author managed to hook me in right from the beginning, the characters are super intriguing and relatable which was an added bonus. I also feel like she portrayed a young woman’s thoughts really well, plus all of the detail made it really easy to follow along and picture everything playing out in my mind.

This was my first book by this author but it won’t be my last, I look forward to reading more from this author asap!!

States of Grace (Grace Locke Mystery Series) by Mandy Miller – Review by Kerry Baker

States of GraceStates of Grace by Mandy Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a well written and fast paced book. From the moment you start reading the author has your attention. And for me I think that is all because of the main character. She is so far removed from what you would expect from a heroin. The struggles that she is going through and the gritty past she has make her so perfectly flawed that it really adds to the depth of this story.
I honestly enjoyed this book far.more than I expected I would. It is a cleverly written thriller and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Cursed Luck (Broderick Coven Book 5) by AJ Renee – Review by Amy Brennan

Cursed Luck (Broderick Coven, #5)Cursed Luck by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If all the novels in this series are as electric as this one, you best believe I will be reading them as soon as the holidays have wound down a bit. I absolutely love the way the reader is pulled into Edward and Mia’s story from the first chapter and has us gasping for air while riding the current of attraction, dislike, and confusion that floats off the pages. Mia, oh my goodness, if I could have a ‘green thumb’ like hers, I would be in 7th heaven. The way she is passionate about her powers is quite unlike any other character I’ve read in this genre, and Edward, well, Edward is certainly the strong, silent type who has a strong personality and (usually) knows what he wants. Everything happens for a reason, or everyone, and in this case, perhaps both have been mixed in, read and find out!

The Broderick Coven seems as tight knit and as close as one could ever hope for in a family, and I adored the way they all look out for each other, and makes me yearn for that this holiday season, more time with my loved ones. Overall, an incredible read, and I very much look forward to reading more of this authors work. Well done!

The TravelerThe Traveler by Deborah Dugan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Traveler (The Traveler, Book 1) by Deborah Dugan. This book was so fun. Its a time travel book and it was told so well that I felt like I was actually there. The main character is a traveler who has traveled all over time meeting different humans so he can tell his story. When he meets Tristan he’s more than willing to listen. The traveler has come back as a spider and Tristan is deathly afraid of spiders so the relationship is tense at the beginning. Learning from one another they become great friends and really help each other. This book is full of action, sci fi, mystery and oddities. I’m not a huge sci fi fan but I really enjoyed this book. It kept my attention and I was truly intrigued by it. The start was a little slow but it picked up a lot toward the end! If you are a sci fi fan do yourself a favor and read this book!

Chain Reaction (Nite Fire #2)Chain Reaction by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I highly recommend you read the first before you dive into this book! We are once again met with our pained but striving heroine Dahlia Nite. Detective Alex Creed and Dahlia have a new affliction on their hands.

Together, although their methods very much so differ in execution they are trying to solve what exactly brought this new affliction to town and who. The banter between them is quite comical and I truly enjoy them as a duo.

I am really excited that this is a series that I can continue. It still just as the first had the right amount of action and fantasy to keep me wanting more and needing to know more.

Tally and the Angel Book Two, CanadaTally and the Angel Book Two, Canada by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had highly enjoyed the first one in the series, I loved this one as much as the first. This time we find Tally and her Angel friend on another adventure. Different place for the adventure this time, in Canada. It was defiantly a different scenery compared to the first book, but the story was as compelling as the original

. I loved the adventure Tally and her Angel faced in this one. Danger and they both had to rely on their hearts they withheld as well as themselves to save the day. I love how the author strongly shows how we can achieve anything, even if it seems impossible, we need only believe in ourselves and trust ourselves. Even if the world seems against you, you can achieve anything! The story is once again beautifully written, and a must rea for children of all ages, highly recommend for sure!

I really enjoyed this book. I like how there’s a supernatural element to this book. Has a magical side mixed in with the cunningness of the gods. Trying to hide the whole event and what was really happening, tally found out some very interesting secrets to this little hidden away place. Tally had to rescue her dad and hopefully make it back ok. This short quick read was amazing. It kept me wanting to read more and I couldn’t put it down. Tally is such a strong-willed girl and really likes to learn new things and takes charge to solve problems. I really love her character, and the way this plot and story flow it really kept my attention. I really hope there is more to this stories and Tally’s adventures.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a wonderful follow up to the first book in this young adult book series. Personally, I liked this one more than the previous one. I love how both books take you on an adventure to a different country. The first one was India, but this one is Canada. I’ve never been to either country but always wanted to go to Canada, so this was a great way to travel there without leaving my home. As with the previous book, the author does a fantastic job with her description that you do feel like you are there on the journey with the characters. And I don’t mean just any journey, but one filled with a lot of danger. I loved it. The one thing that I will recommend is that you read the books to understand the characters and how the magic was obtained.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series and it continues the adventure of Tally and her angel. It is a great book for young adults. The story is full of adventure as Tally and her father travel the world. Every place they go they uncover secrets and with the help of Tally’s angel Jophiel. Now they are in for a race against time in Canada. The fantasy adventure includes ancient curses, gold hunters and mystical wolves. This book is definately a great family adventure and I do recommend you read the first book as this gives you the back story of Tally and how she came to be in possession of Jophiel.
This story kept me gripped from the beginning. Tally is a very strong and determined young girl who makes friends where ever she goes which is nice to read. As she travels to different countries she fully immerses herself and the reader into the culture.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I did not know what to expect when I began to read this amazing book, it was full of so much more than I ever could have anticipated! It had wonder, intrigue, suspense! I highly recommend this book and this author off the bat, they really graphed a wonderful story, and I shall be reading their previous work for sure!

For me the sci fi component of this story hooked me right from the start. I did not expect to be sucked in as much as I was while reading. The characters and their development literally left me breathless. I was literally flipping the pages as I read to see what engagements of the story and characters would happen next! The author did a wonderful job on the WOW factor and wrote an amazing book!

Another thing I truly loved was the visual affects that were put into my mind, creatures, other worlds of living, and overall just the characters and the people or creatures they met. The story was mind blowing in one way. I was so sad when this story came to an end, I wanted to continue and be intrigued so much more. I just loved it that much! The author defiantly has a new stalker haha! Loved this book!

Wonderful and as well, wonderful writing by a truly gifted author. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend this book to anyone who is to read it, or try out this new author as I did, certainly a treat and a very brilliant mesmerizing read! Highly recommend this amazing book and amazing author!

Even the last chapter had me on the edge of my seat! Check it out y’all- you won’t be disappointed!

Unlikely to Stay (Parker Lake) by Olivia Sherwood – Review by Angela Shirley

Unlikely to Stay (A Parker Lake Novel Book 3)Unlikely to Stay by Ashlie Knapp
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unlikely to Stay by Ashlie Knapp is the third book in the Parker Lake series and is centred around Brant and Colleen or CC as she is know by and is a great romantic story.

The story is a fast flowing, well written story which brought theses to characters to life, I love a book that you can just get lost into and Unlikely to stay is a great story to do this with. I enjoyed all the characters that were in this book but I especially enjoyed the chemistry between the two main characters Brant and Colleen.

Brant is a nurse practitioner and Colleen or CC is a hairdresser within the town of Parker, both have serious crushes on each other but are not prepared to admit just yet that until one night CC’s friend’s decide to bid in the bachelor auction and buy CC a date with the handsome Brant.

They hit it off and the rest is history, but will there pasts be the ending to the new relationship they have created or will it be too late for it to be over. I can’t wait for the next book in this series and hope these wonderful characters are included in the other books. I would recommend this series to my friends.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel is face paced and a page turner. I literally couldn’t put it down from the first word to the very last! Lexi is a bit of a hot headed detective who is known as a loose cannon since her husband took his own life. While this is a very dark, dangerous subject I feel this author really handled it with grace and truth.
Xavier is sent in to investigate Lexi but ends up finding out she really is a crack detective with a big heart! Their attraction is hot and fast, but with a child killer on the loose can they find him before he gets to them? This fast paced thriller, suspense, drama, romance novel is my pick for a great read you won’t be able to put down.

This was an interesting read. Now I’m not sure if I was having an off reading day or not, but I just couldn’t get into this one no matter how much read or for how long. I just kept spacing out. Maybe I just didn’t get the story? The imagery and descriptions were amazing and this was a very well written novel. I just don’t think I was in the mood to read a book that was as deep and dark as this one was. This isn’t my first time reading a book from this author before, so I knew what to expect, I just really wish I enjoyed this one more than I did. Hopefully I will enjoy the next one more!

Starting off a series with a bang! I love this type of genre, especially when a author can pull off beautifully descriptive world building.

I have loved this series and this book was just as good as the rest. I didn’t want this to be the end but at the same time I couldn’t wait to read it. This story is filled with action, suspense, danger, great characters, love, family and plenty of twists and turns. As soon as I started reading I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. I became completely invested in Oz and Saha’s story, I hoped that even though they are both fiercely independent and strong people that they would let each other in. You can read this book as a standalone but I recommend you read all of them for more backstory and to get to know all the brothers better. This author did an excellent job pulling me into this story and I can’t wait to read what’s in store for us next. I highly recommend this book.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a historical fiction book. This was a great book to get back into this genre. This story has great characters who made it interesting and the descriptions of the scenes took me on a trip into the 17th century. Adding in some romance, action, and so much more had me reading late into the night. It was interesting to follow these brave warriors who worked to protect Poland. I can’t wait to read the next book.

I freaking love this series. This author writes amazingly descriptive characters and this book is no exception. This book can be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend you read the series in order to get the full dynamic of this series. It is well worth you time and money because it is an awesome series. As in the first two books, this book is full of all the feels. I was crying, laughing and wholeheartedly touched by this story. Jared is a rock god and Madison is caring for Jared’s father. It makes for some sizzling hot scenes, but also delves into deep issues of elder care. This book is in my top five reads of the year. I can’t wait to see what this author will bring us next.

When on the outside you are a professional, strong woman trying to help the police in an investigation but secretly your world is falling apart and spiralling away from you.

Aria’s world seems stable from the outside but as she is brought in for her expertise with a woman who has been found wondering, so delves and self diagnoses herself trying to banish the demons in her head but can she help both of them.

This is the first book I have read by this author and oh whoa was a book, this book is a real mind bend and you are left thinking and absorbing what you have read for a few days after. The writing is brilliant and the story twists through the life of Dr Aria De Luca, with her narrative from inside her head this is a fascinating read.

The way the story is written you as the read are a character in the book, wondering through the narrative and drawing you own conclusions through the complex twists and turns. I really can’t wait to read more books by this wonderful author and recommend whole heartily this book to people who love a good phycological thriller.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but let me tell you- this book is absolutely ASTOUNDING. From the get-go, she pulls you into the world of Aria, and you can’t help but just dive in. She does a wonderful job showing the traumas of these women, artistically describing the pain and the beauty as she weaves this story together. Once you think you have it figured out- it changes on you and challenges you to keep up with Aria and her world. If you enjoy thrillers and crime, this is the book for you. I absolutely loved it and I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store with her other books.
