I read this as a book several months back and enjoyed it. When I saw that it had come out as an Audible I wanted to hear it. The narrator is great!! His gritty voice gives it that perfect cop tone. The story with audio gives it so much more. It was as I’d pictured in my head: gritty cop; hard case; rough life. Absolutely fantastic! The story is well-written. It starts right off with action that grabs you by the wrist and says “come with me.” The characters are very relatable. Nick’s pain is palpable. I recommend this story to all who love cop mystery.

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

Great world building!! I love fantasy and rarely find a new subset to that category! This author not only created a whole new world but a whole new set of magical rules! The characters were diverse and well detailed! I loved the premise that something crashing from space could infect humans and give them supernatural powers. Of course as always magic comes at a price but the way the author deals with that basic rule is not only entertaining but is entirely different from other magical, mystical realms. All in all I really enjoyed this novel and look forward to the next book in the series.

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

This book was definitely a step outside of the bubble for me. While I enjoyed it, I also felt myself just really struggling with several aspects of it as I read. It didn’t’ overall take away from my enjoyment I suppose and the quality of the book, it just really caused me to question if maybe this was really labeled correctly as a horror thriller read. As a previously devout Catholic myself I clearly see the struggle between characters and the drawn lines between good and evil here but I also felt the horror aspect became lost in the theology and native american aspects that sent me running to google and a dictionary for explanations and research. I don’t want to be doing that so much with a good scary book. I want to get lost. That is more of what I thought I was getting, instead I was dropped into a history and theology lesson and that was just not what I really needed at the moment. For me this was a personal feeling and I won’t dock the book on it. I will however say this really could have benefited readers with some glossary words and explanations. I would have felt way better than having to constantly figure it out myself. I did overall enjoy it and would give the whole thing a solid 3.5 – 4 stars so I will round up to 4. I look forward to seeing what may come next and if we get more books with a bit more back story or what led up to this one.

Fall to Pieces by Becky Flade – Review by Felicia Bates

Fall to PiecesFall to Pieces by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Several years ago I read a book series about a male detective haunted by his past and trying to outrun his demons. I absolutely loved it. Something about Fall to Pieces brings me back to that series and it thrills me to know that the main character in this dangerous read is a female. In a genre that could be so overdone this storyline remained unique to me, and I really admire the author’s writing for that. While it sounds unoriginal to say, this book hooked me from page one as I patiently awaited for Lexi’s story to unravel. I have read so many great books in the recent past but this one really reminded me of my love for the romantic suspense genre and my need to dive deeper into it again. This is without a doubt a 5 star read in my eyes.

Genre – Romantic Comedy, Contemporary Romance, Romance
Page Count – 367
Cover Designer – Limitless Publishing
Brant Billings has not had much sense of permanency in his life. Raised as a foster kid, he was bounced from home to home until Betty Billings, his foster mom, adopted him at the age of eleven. Facing a mountain of student loan debt after receiving his nurse practitioner’s license, Brant accepted a job at a clinic in the small town of Parker, Oklahoma. As long as he worked in the tiny town for three years, his loans would be forgiven. For a man with no attachment to anyone other than his adopted mom, he had complete confidence he would be walking away in three years completely debt free. What he didn’t figure into the equation was the woman with the cherry red hair and sapphire blue eyes who seemed to try and avoid him at all costs.
Small town girl Colleen “CC” Chandler has always been used to fending for herself. Raised by hippie parents more focused on their wants and needs than their daughter’s, Colleen has not had much sense of stability in her life. As the town’s only hair stylist, Colleen has continued to care for others by giving them the confidence they need to look their best. What Colleen has lacked is confidence in herself. Feeling as if she’s nothing but a simple hairdresser, Colleen shies away from anyone she feels is smarter than her, especially the handsome nurse practitioner who’s only in town for three years.
When the town raises money for Colleen to build the town a top-of-the-line workout gym by holding an eligible bachelor auction, Colleen’s friends buy a date with Brant for Colleen. Both Brant and Colleen have scars that run deep. Will the two of them be able to overcome the odds stacked against them or will they simply be too much to handle?

Apocalypse Thoughts (The Pox Series Book 5) by Kendra Griffin
Genre – Young Adult, Dystopian, Action-Adventure
Page Count – 291
Seventeen-year-old Kella O’Malley is living through the apocalypse.
Maybe.
She’s definitely running from feral cannibals.
When a pandemic begins mutating humans into killers during her spring break in Georgia, Kella joins with a group of teens and twenty-somethings to carry precious CDC data north on the Appalachian Trail. With no cell phones and no clue how far the mutation spreads, their only hope is to stay ahead of the “Hyenas” and hike faster than the world can end.
If Buffy the Vampire Slayer had to save the world without superpowers, it would look a lot like this. But even while suffering from epic caffeine withdrawal, Kella is determined to protect her younger brother, keep from being eaten alive, and maybe even fall in love before the world definitely ends.
“The end times are not what you were expecting,” Kella writes in the shelter logbook along the way. “Be prepared for a lot of stomach growling. And a serious lack of condiments.”
“Also, take note: Cities overrun by feral human cannibals do not make for great spring break destinations. But on the bright side, it’s very unlikely now that boredom is what will kill you.”
“Falling in love is terrifying. It ranks somewhere between murder hornets and being eaten alive by Hyenas.”

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Masters of the Consulate series. I have loved these books. They can be read as a standalone however to fully enjoy the story that runs through them all you really need to read them from the beginning. I love the characters in these stories. The men are dark and dangerous and fiercely protective of their own. The women are also strong and determined.
In the book we meet Trentino. Trentino is part of the Consulate. His main focus is to protect his vampire brothers and stop the corruption that is happening. However things change when he finds women of a enemy’s dying.
Face with the prospect of letting her die or saving her Trentino chooses to save her. However will that prove to be a big mistake.
Angel is a psychic. All her life she has been brought in to believe that vampires are evil and then enemy. So how will she cope when she realises that she is now the one things she hates?

Together they need to work out who the traitors are, save her brother Roman, and work out these new and very strong feelings they have for each other. Can they work at uniting the humans and vampires or will Angel now being  a vampire make the war against them even stronger?

Born in Darkness (Mafia Elite, #3)Born in Darkness by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As usual, the author produced another romantic dark drama within the mafia families. This book is about Emiliana (Em), one of the mafia’s princesses. In the previous book, we learn a lot of Em and how she was kidnapped, trafficked, but also eventually saved by Stefano – the secret love of her life. In this book, we dive deeper into Em’s story and the secret love she has had for Stefano, her entire life. Stefano feels the same as Em, but his father, an evil mob boss who holds her over his head in order to get what he wants. Throughout this book, the two of them build their romance, go public, and try to find a way to live happily ever after. I love the way the author puts a story down, makes it easy to read, and while getting details is also straight to the point. My most favorite aspect of this book however, is the bad ass women! While each of the mafia books are geared around a main female character, I thought this particular one showed a different side. You know, growing up in a mafia family, you have to have a hard shell, training, and vigilance. The women, especially Em, showed that while the husbands, boyfriends, and bosses are not to be messed with, well neither are their women!!

King Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #6)King Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am sad to see this series end. I’m excited to see what’s next for this author.
This the 6th book in the story is the oldest of the King brothers. Lazarus’s one goal in life is to protect his family. From his own father! I could not believe this man, the one to take care of his wife and children. Instead he made them pay for being in his selfish way. This story got me so twisted. There was the father, the brothers and their families. All trying to find their part in this story. Lazarus must put an end to his family’s nightmare. Meanwhile his heart is beginning to open, while not the best time to. Lazarus might have found his soulmate, but can he protect one more person in his life? This was a fantastic series. Each one is better than the one before. There were so many suspenseful roller coaster rides. I was thrown into the depths of so many emotions. I recommend you read this series in order, even though they can be read as a standalone? I feel it’s a must to get familiar with the whole family. As the end pulls the series to a close. No spoilers will be found. Read the Series, you will be glad you did.

A thrilling yet romantic five-star read. It’s a fast-paced story, with an engaging storyline, the characters will make you care about them, they suck you into the story. There is crime, but also chemistry, you will get pulled into Xavier and Lexi’s story, guessing the clues and following the leads. Lexi does get a little heavy at times, but as you get to know her you see the real her. This is a great story and an author I am excited to hear more from.

King of Pain (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 5)King of Pain by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

King of Pain is the fifth book in the Interstellar Rescue Series by Donna S. Frelick. This is a fantastic sci-fi romance- a bit of an enemies to lovers’ story with plenty of action, adventure, danger, corruption, rivalry, race wars, political manoeuvring, hidden agendas, sinister forces, drama, intrigue, spaceships, fight scenes, alien shifters, enhanced abilities, emotion, chemistry, and brilliant world building. I have said this a few times now, am so addicted to this series, and Ms. Frelick’s writing- I eagerly await each new release to get my ‘fix’.
I can always count on this talented author to deliver a riveting story, and this book definitely didn’t disappoint on any level. But, as expected, Ms. Frelick crafted some tense scenes that had me on the edge of my seat devouring the pages to discover how things would play out. Her clever mind was always several steps ahead, crafting plenty of dramatic twists and unexpected developments that kept me guessing and glued to the pages.
The story is told from multiple points of view, which made the story even more intriguing, and I loved that I not only got to meet some very interesting new characters, but also got to spend time with some characters we have met (and loved) in previous instalments.
Can’t get enough of this series! A must read! Just brilliant! Highly recommended!

Thank you, Donna S. Frelick!

I am not usually one for historical books but this book has completely changed my mind. Cora Lee has traveled from Cincinnati to be a mail order bride to a man named Jude, who unfortunately has no clue as his father Grant was the one who orchestrated all the letters to Cora Lee. Come to find out Jude has a twin named Jace who is a train conductor that was working the train that Cora Lee was on when they where hijacked. Cora Lee coming to Holiday was truly meant to be in so many more ways than just a mail order bride. I can’t wait to see what could possibly happen next.

A thrilling five-star read. This is number three in the Mafia Elite series and they each compliment and build the story, this author always writes a compelling story, and the details are sublime, the flow is great and honestly it just compounds into a fantastic story. Stefano he is such a great character, waiting his time and doing what he must, until he just cant do it any longer. Emiliana is great, but she did wear a little at times, but she did get me in the end. This is a great story and I will certainly be looking out for them in the future.

No Names to Be GivenNo Names to Be Given by Julia Brewer Daily
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

No Names to Be Given is written concerning a subject I feel is important and definitely touched on very little. To this day there are still struggles and, although nowhere near what there used to be, stigma surrounding “unwed” women or women considered to be “to young” to get pregnant. To keep a child or not to keep a child is a deeply personal decision and every choice should be tailored specifically to the individual who is doing the deciding. This book follows three young women who made the only choice they felt was available to them. “Will you ever forgive us ? Will we ever forgive ourselves ?” I feel sets the tone for this story and is one of the main things these women asks themselves, almost daily. No Names to Be Given was deeply personal to the author and it showed in her writing and the care she showed the girls despite the adversities they were struggling with. I enjoyed the story and came to care about Becca, Sandy, and Faith. I absolutely loved when Faith’s mother finally came to her aid in the end after kind of snubbing the situation to that point. This was not an edge of your seat thrill ride to the end but it was a story that plucked at your heart, taught you, and made you feel. I think, especially being the authors debut work, that she is well on her way to greatness.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love paranormal romances and it has been a long time since I read one. This captured my attention from beginning to end and I just love the cover.

I have not read the other novels in the series, but I did not feel confused or as if I was missing any important plot points.

Trentino meets Angel and on their second encounter, she gets shot. To save her, he turns her into a vampire. The relationship and chemistry between the two was one of the highlights of the novels. I loved learning more about this world and the other characters.

It was amazing to see how well Angel adapted and the secrets Master Trentino and Angel uncovered.

I read online that novels do not have to be read in order so I am looking forward to reading from the beginning and the rest of the novels that will be released.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in this amazing paranormal vampire series. The author was new to me until I started reading this series but I will definitely be reading more of her work, especially future books in this series. You could technically read each book in this series as a standalone but as there is a continuing story that runs alongside the romance element in each book, it makes sense to read the series in order.
We had been introduced to Master Trentino in the previous books but this time we get his story. So what happens when he discovers the sister of his enemies covered in blood and close to death? This is Trentino and Angel’s story and I can honestly say that I really loved reading it.
I was gripped to this story from the very beginning and the author does a great job of keeping the story fast flowing with twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.
The author does a great job of developing characters that you become invested in and I love that we get to see the characters from the previous books still making a large impact on the story.
I’m really enjoying this series so far and really hope that the author does continue and gives us the story of all 12 Masters of the Consulate.

Historical romance is not my go to trope but I’m glad I grabbed this one. I’m not sure what I expected but I’m sure it wasn’t enough. This was an enjoyable read. Mail order brides and train engineers were new for me but boy did it work!

These characters were great! Cora is on her own but she doesn’t back down. She’s so strong. Jace is a hard working family man. He’s loyal but he couldn’t help but falling for his brother’s intended bride. He tried fighting his attraction to Cora for the sake of his brother.

After reading Tally and the Angel – India, I fell in love with Tally and her angel. This book did not fail either. Tally and her wonderful angel are off on another homeschool adventure full of danger and excitement, this time in Canada. The story is fresh and full of lore from days long ago. Tally makes new friends on her adventure. Her angel seems to know more about what’s going on but seems afraid to spill the beans. Tally might be up against more than she can handle but can she do it with the help of friends and her angel? You guys should read this story. Though for the younger set, this story is great for the older adults too. It’s really adventurous and heartwarming, a fun family story. Well-written and great characters, it’s one you can’t afford to pass up.

I always find myself with a serious case of the heebie-jeebies after finishing one of this author’s books. This one did not fail to deliver. Claire finds herself struggling to keep the boundary between naturopathic practitioner and medicine woman. She has tried to overcome a challenging childhood with some rough memories. Well, if you are a fan of this author, you’ll know that these supernatural horrors take place in Aztlan. That’s one creepy place that has some issues. In this story, it’s the battle of good and evil. The story is well done. I couldn’t put it down once I started. It grabbed me from page 1 and her childhood memories all the way to the end. The action is phenomenal. The characters are totally relatable. You can almost see a little of yourself in them. I find it interesting to see stories that put the tale of good and evil into such a thrilling horror story. This is really good, must have reading. I recommend you get it. I would absolutely give it more than 5 stars if I could.

A story where they find themselves in a race against time and bigger challenges that they never imagined. This is an engaging story that kept me reading to the end.

Cora Lee, Jude and Jace. What a fiasco let me tell you. When you pick up this book you will not want to put it down at all. There are plenty of things will catch your eye like train robbers, the beauty of the wild west and the unsuspecting bride whose mate didn’t show up to claim her. What a conundrum. My grandad was the guy who threw people off of trains on the top when they hitched rides in the 1940s so I’ve loved trains since I was little this book makes me remember him. I will be reading the rest in the authors series.

You won’t regret it. I read it on kindle originally but will be purchasing it now for my collection. Thank you!

As soon as they get off the train we meet amazing lovable characters. This was a story where I didn’t want to put it down. I was so excited to continue reading and being able to be apart of their stories. I can’t wait to read the next book in the Holiday Express series.
