My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a great dystopian read that is eerily possible that it could happen! I adore Kella. I adore her for so many reasons but mostly her thoughts. Her relationship with Huck is the best. Then of course there are plot twist that you aren’t expecting! I did not mind losing sleep over reading this book. I want more of this story and more of this authors writing style! You definitely wouldn’t regret reading this book! Now to read the prequel!

I enjoyed this novel. It is the second book of a series about vampires and it definitely brought the same drama, adventure, and romance that was in the first novel. Christian and Delilah’s story was nonstop suspenseful and had so many twists and turns. I cannot wait to see where this series is going and what the author has in store for us as readers.

Apocalypse Thoughts: A Story for the Possible End Times (The Pox Series)Apocalypse Thoughts: A Story for the Possible End Times by Kendra Griffin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

A YA dystopian tale about a pandemic like we are currently facing but add in a bit of the Walking Dead and the like. The story is told by our protagonist and has action and suspense, with a dash of sassiness, frustrations and is thought provoking. This action adventure tells the story of YA’s learning to navigate not only this strange new world but also becoming an adult whilst trying to meet their goal and hopefully help mankind. It is full of the pitfalls that YA face, like self-doubt, self-consciousness, etc. whilst trying to dodge cannibals and hyenas, add in some humour to lighten the load to this apocalyptic world.
I am sure YA’s will find this relatable and enjoy the adventure.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love novels about vampires and romance. This novel did not disappoint me. The story of Salvatore and Lucianna had it all, romance, suspense, drama, a villain, and adventure. It is always a good time when we can see a strong male find love and happiness with an equally strong female and I loved reading their story. This is the first in a series and I cannot wait to continuing the adventure as we work to figure out who is working against the vampires.

Red’s Peril Part 2: The Prez’s Old Lady (Satan’s Devils MC Vegas Chapter #2) by Manda Mellett

5 Stars

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book after finishing Part 1. I’ve read so many of this author’s books it feels like the MC is just part of my life now. Don’t even try to read this one without reading part 1, I did read it and had to stop and think and remember a few things. This is just another addition to an awesome multi series story. A series that spans many different chapters but still feels like one family.

Red and Cher’s story was awesome, although they didn’t grab me quite as quickly as many others’ stories it was still a book I had a hard time putting down for the everyday life things. It touched on subjects that have become a reality in real life and “keeping it real” is what has made me fall in love with this author.

Each story in all of these chapter series is always fresh and new, never predictable and as always I can not wait for more.

If you have not entered the Satan’s Devils clubhouses yet, I highly recommend you open that door, you will never want to leave!

Oh my goodness, this town is my favorite and i want to live here!
CC can only count on herself and her 2 best friends in life. She’s got a crush that if she has anything to say about, will go nowhere, on the towns medical professional Brant.
These two, oh I loved them more than the previous books, they fought so hard and learned so much.
I really enjoyed the laughter and the sweet moments.
What a great book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unlikely to Stay is the third book in the Parker Lake series. I had forgotten how great the people in this small town were. The older people just keep getting funnier and funnier in each book. Goodness knows what we’re going to end up in the next book.

CC and Brant’s story was so sweet. She learned things aren’t always what they seem to be. He learned to always listen to your Mama. Now to get my kids to learn that…

Living in Texas I have come across plenty of small towns and I swear I recognized people in the book. I have started make sure I’m in one of my Longhorns shirts when reading her books since there are several mentions of the school North of the Red River. 😉  This is another great book and I’m so looking forward to the next one in this series.

This children’s book is a great little read. By following Pricinda the cat on her adventures, children can learn to find greatness in their everyday lives. Pricinda is an alley cat who gets captured by animal control but this story doesn’t end there! Pricinda is then adopted and her adventures just begin.

Thief of Magic (Shadowed Minds, #1)Thief of Magic by Bree Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This author was a new read for me. I was a bit lost at the beginning of the book and could have used a bit more back story and walk through of some of the terms and definitions before jumping right in, but with that being said I did enjoy this book. The main character Lee was quite endearing with her vulnerabilities.

Lee has a unique magic that allows her to shift between the veil of this world and the next where she can move around without being seen or heard, a great asset for a thief! The major problem is that every time she uses this magic it is slowly killing her.

There was a ton of action in this book which made it a great page turner. I look forward to book 2.

This wonderful author never fails to hook you from the very start and the 3rd book in this amazing series definitely does exactly that! If you love a great paranormal romance filled with action, suspense and of course the all important Steam then this is the book, no series for you. While I do think you could read just this book if you chose too, I highly recommend reading the series from the start as there is a story line that threads through them all which will keep you wanting to know more and more. The two characters heavily featured in this book, Master Trentino and Angel, end up sharing such a strong connection it will make you almost envious. Characters from previous books will reappear and you will learn a little more about the Consulate and the vampire world. All I can really say without giving too much away is grab this series today and get reading!!!!

The UnholyThe Unholy by Paul DeBlassie III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really interesting story about good vs evil. The author has an amazing way of bringing a work of fiction to life and making the reader feel like it could actually happen in reality. The characters are really well written. You can feel the trauma and emotion that Claire goes through everyday since losing her mother and how it affects her decisions years later.
This story is unique in the way it has great links with history and beliefs such as medicine women.
Claire is trying to get on with her life. Since losing her mum her life hasn’t been the same. She doesn’t want to embrace her life as the last medicine women as all she knows is that life leads to death so she carries on denying her heritage and trying to find her mothers killer.
Eventually she realises she needs to face her past and her heritage and embrace it if she stands any chance of facing her mothers killer.

This story is a rollercoaster of emotions. It’s also a good insight into religion and how it can be used for good and evil depending on your take on things. You can feel the anguish Claire goes through as she fights what is her destiny and overwhelming fear she goes through as she prepares to fight the evil that killed her mother.

I am going to be really honest here and say that I have mixed feelings about this book but my reasons for saying that are not what you probably think. This author is a fantastic author and gave us a well crafted story with some characters I liked and some that totally creeped me out! I have been left with mixed feelings because this is not a genre I usually am drawn to read but at the same time, while made feel uncomfortable at times, it also drew me in and I had to know what was going to happen next. Now that has to be the sign of a great book right? If you love horror, especially if it is set in a world that makes you feel like it could be all too real, then this is the story for you. I will be recommending this to all my horror reading fans.

This read just flew by me. It was short but honestly made and impact and left me wanting more. If you are looking for a hopeless romance, Christmas spirit, or even just the small town intimacy, this is definitely your book.
In his Christmas tale a local small town bar owner, Amber, is known as the town’s grinch because she refuses partake or even acknowledge that Christmas exists. To rescue he from her holiday pessimism enters Giovanni, the son of the towns Italian Mama.
Instantly amber is shocked to find herself falling head over heels for her newest friend. But the book poses the question of whether Amber’s rocky past inhibit her from making a happy future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This a hot supernatural romance with and underlying story of suspense. The second in the series, this book revolves around Piper and Noah. They are great characters and so different from anything I have read before. I was so drawn into this book and I could not put it down. Everyone in this book is different from each other and so interesting. It has so many emotions, you really feel this story. My only negative is that there is so much more that could be written about this story. I think it would be even better as a longer book.

That being said, this is a good Paranormal Romance with some sexy scenes as with as suspense/action. If you are a fan of this in a story that is unlike any you have read before, I highly recommend it.

Unlikely to Stay (A Parker Lake Novel Book 3) – Olivia Sherwood

5-star review

This is a must-read romance! It’s the third book in the Parker Lake series, a series that can be read as standalones as there’s so much main character and supporting character detail that makes it really easy to follow along. But to fully appreciate this series I would suggest reading it in order to get the full picture!

Unlikely to Stay is sweet, romantic, detailed and laugh out loud funny! This author’s writing always pulls me right in from the start, I couldn’t put this book down and I ended up reading it in one sitting. The characters are so relatable and easy to connect with which made it for a really entertaining read! Plus, this series has some very memorable supporting characters.

This is a book and series I would recommend to anyone looking for their next romance read! And like always I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

This is my first audio by this author which I enjoyed listening to from beginning to end.  I enjoyed how the narrator pulled me into the story by using different tones of voices.  They kept the story engaging and made it easy to listen to.   They made it easy for me to imagine the characters throughout the story.  This is a suspenseful story that is a fast paced about a detective and a serial killer that needs to be found before more deaths happen.   The twists and turns had me wanting to know more about  what would happen next.   This is a great audio and I can’t wait to pick up the next audio by this author.  I highly recommend this audio.

I also enjoy how she is able to take me on an emotional roller coaster with the characters. They are connectable and relateable. I enjoyed both of these two, Brent and CC. They are sweet and cute together. Brent is not use to having stability in his life and CC has lived in the same town forever. I highly recommend this book.

Nite Fire : Chain Reaction is the second book in Nite Fire Series. I’m a huge fan of this author and her style of writing instantly pulls you in and takes you on quite the ride. I highly recommend reading this series in order as it will help give you better understanding of what is going on and you get to know the characters better. I messed up and read it out of order but u didn’t have a hard time following. This series is definitely going on my re-read list. This is a fast paced Paranormal/Fantasy that is packed with action, mystery, murder and mayhem. In this story we find Dahlia Nite and Alex Creed investigating a mysterious ailment that’s leading to strange deaths within Sentinel City. The further into the investigation they go its seems they are finding themselves with lots of questions and no answers. Can they keep the city safe while trying to figure everything out? Will these two solve the mystery of what or who is behind the deaths before it’s way to late? I freaking loved this book and I highly recommend reading to find out what happens next. I can promise you won’t be disappointed. If you are a fan of paranormal/Fantasy then this author is for you. I can’t wait to read many more books from this Author.

This is a young adult story that I enjoyed. This is a well written story where the author’s use of details brought the story to life on each page. It has characters that made the story fun and entertaining to read. I enjoyed how the characters are connectable and kept the story engaging. This is a faster paced story that is full of creatures and maybe even some romance. I enjoyed the growth of the plot as well as the growth of the characters throughout the story. With no cell phones and a mutation spreading, Kella is determined to protect what is hers. What happens with her and her journey, you will have to read this book to find out. This is not normally a book that I would read but I am happy that I picked it up. It is worth the read for sure. I highly recommend this book.

This is the first time I have read this author’s work. I don’t know where I have been hiding, but it felt like Christmas when I began CC and Brant’s story. I feel like I have been hiding under a rock!!!

CC and Brant was a love story that was everything I wish for in a romance. It had humour, intense attraction, chemistry, drama, passion, energy and flair. I fell hard and fast for the main duo, and the secondary characters just blew my mind. I have not laughed so much during a book for an age. It was the most fun I have had with an eccentric and eclectic group of characters I have had in an awfully long time. This author’s story writing prowess is immeasurable and I will be snapping up all her other books asap.

A truly unforgettable story that has left me with an insatiable urge for more. 5 stars.

I enjoyed this book. The world, magic system, and characters are unique and interesting. I both liked and didn’t like Lee. She is prickly and standoffish, which is understandable considering her life. I wish we knew more about how the crew came together and the relationship between crew members prior to the events in this book, and I really want to know what happens to Finn, Lee, and the people we met along the way.

The Unholy is one of those stories that has me on a fence. Though Wonderfully written, I still don’t know how I feel about the book in its entirety, but even then I can tell you some things about it.
If you enjoy a story with supernatural undertones, then this book is for you! If you enjoy a strong female lead, then this book is definitely for you.
Claire refuses to admit who she truly is in deep fear based on what she witnessed. As Claire deals with her internal demons to decide who she truly is.
Will she finally admit who she is before she meets that same fate.
I’m still on the fence but having a fantastic female lead made me intrigued. For that reason and that alone you should at least give this book a chance!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 What a debut novel! This story really sticks with you…even after finishing the book, I have so many thoughts. This story follows Becca, Sandra and Faith and for each of these young women from their different backgrounds in upbringing to what happens when they find out of an unplanned pregnancy. Getting to know each character and what they endured really grabbed me from the get go and I wanted to comfort them, the struggles they had emotionally and mentally never to hold their baby nor know even the gender. Years later, someone wants to “expose” Becca, Sandra and Faith for giving up their baby, as each of them go their separate ways but yet have this sisterhood of what they shared. There is plenty of heartbreaking decisions, deceit, tears and at the end healing when it comes to this story. I recommend this book highly.

This book centers around three women: Sandy, Faith, and Becca. All three women find themselves unwed and pregnant in the 60s. This was not socially acceptable during the 60s. They are whisked away to a home for unwed mothers to live during their pregnancy and birth. Once they have left the home, they find themselves unprepared for the feelings of leaving behind their babies. Sandra goes on to do well for herself, but she thinks often of the daughter she never knew. Becca lived a sheltered life but goes on to live amongst the elite and wondering what happened to her child. Faith grew up in a religious family and is left with her faith shaken after leaving her baby. She goes on to become a famous singer but is always missing a piece of her heart. Will they ever get to meet their babies? I loved reading their heart wrenching stories and being surprised with the twists and turns!

“A desperate and cunning man is the most dangerous when he’s cornered.”

I have read a few books by this author in the past, and I always find it easy to connect with her characters. Lazarus and Sasha love to push each other buttons but you can’t fight the chemistry they have. Their story was full of intense suspense and a romance that will melt your kindle.

You might want to read the other books first, just to give you a little background information. Now that I know that all of Lazarus’s brothers are taken, I need to know their stories.

What a cute and adorable children’s book! I absolutely loved the way this was written! Talking to children about the important things in life and teaching them that “greatness is contagious”. The book also talks about perseverance which is a big word for kids but is broken down and explained in a way that kids can understand and that they can relate to!
The author has done a great job of having the main character as a cute cat named Priscida which will draw readers young and old into the story and help children to understand because they can relate to the character. The illustrations are adorable too!
I would highly recommend this book for any children learning about the importance of doing great things in their lives and parents and teachers who want to explain it in a fun way!
