Children of the Wild (Children of the Wild Series) by Krysta Tawlks – Review by Kerry Baker

Children of the WildChildren of the Wild by Krysta Tawlks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a unique and interesting story that is really well written and thought through. As a debut novel it really showcases what this author has to offer. It is a historical fantasy story that draws you in with ease. It has a depth about it that you don’t always get from books like this and is more than I expected it would be.
I enjoyed the characters in the book. Each had their own part to play and added something to the storyline. I wanted to know more about them and their journey. This book is a great book and I cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a sweet and heartwarming holiday romance that has a real festive feel. It is a second chance romance for both characters and watching their relationship develop over the course of the book was lovely. I connected with each of them individually and loved reading them together.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and, although it is the third book in the series, I didn’t feel like I had missed out on anything. I enjoyed how the author created the story and learning her writing style. This was a thoroughly enjoyable book and I cannot wait to read the rest.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luna the Howling Husky Finds Her Howl by Samantha Shannon. This is the cutest story and the pictures are gorgeous. This story is such a good story about loving everyone and not judging anyone due to their looks, personality or ability to do things. Luna is a husky puppy and she loves being a puppy but she feels like she doesn’t fit in because she can’t howl yet. She tries and tries, practices daily and she just can’t get it. She feels like she is an outcast with her siblings. One day she finds a cat that accepts her just the way she is and she finally feels loved. While this friendship builds her confidence she begins to be able to learn to howl. Such a fun, lovely book that has beautiful pictures and lots of activities to do in the back. This would make a great gift for the beginning reader and for the younger ones as well.

Finding Your Heart: A Journal for Discovering Your HeartFinding Your Heart: A Journal for Discovering Your Heart by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Your Heart by Nadia Han. I loved this journal so much that I bought one for each person in my circle group at church. Its the best journal I have found that covers a multitude of issues. If you are the type of person that doesn’t like to talk to others about your problems and keep everything inside this is the perfect journal for you. The pictures are beautiful and I enjoyed answering the questions inside. While this journal may have you getting out of your comfort zone it will be a great healing tool if you will let it. I lost a twin baby 25 years ago along with my dad completing suicide the same year. It was a very rough time and if I had this journal then it would have helped immensely. I still got a lot out of it and I enjoyed it very much!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a cute story about finding yourself, making friends and being loved. The message is clear as well as fun for the children. When Luna feels alone the one who befriends her is a shy kitten. The two begin a story worth reading. Can Luna and her new friend really become friends? Will Luna’s siblings stop teasing her, because she can’t howl? The author has a well written story the children will love. I know we did. We also enjoyed the extra puzzles at the end of the story. Making this a learning story as well as fun. This story is fast paced and easy for children to follow along. It also opened a discussion following the reading.. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Grave Digger Academy III (Grave Digger Academy Series) by C.A. King – Review by Darla Yocom

Grave Digger Academy IIIGrave Digger Academy III by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Grave Digger Academy series. It is a must read for fans of paranormal fantasy fiction. I think out of the three books, this is the most creative and fans will appreciate it. There’s lots of adventure, fun and a touch of romance.

This series follows Makayla on her adventure within the academy after learning of her rare ability to see and communicate with the dead. The mysterious and secret school for people with her abilities turns out to be a great fit allowing her to learn more about her power plus uncover the mysterious realm called the afterlife.

This book presents Makayla and her friends with their biggest challenge to date. They are forced to fight a sinister plot to disrupt the balance between the living and the dead. There is a lot of growth throughout the series and especially in this challenging chapter.

I hope you enjoy stories that include humor, emotions, action, and suspense because this one is overflowing with it all!

I think everyone will be satisfied with the outcome of this story. It is so well written and has a good balance of characters, plot & incredible dialogue. I highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. I loved how Anne’s relationship with God was so important that she wanted that in her partner as well. Andy and Anne are a very sweet couple and I am glad to see they found each other after both suffering a break up with their partners. Johnny, I wasn’t really a fan of him, especially after leaving the amish and basically wanting Anne and the English world. The world of the Amish is very intriguing to me and seems very peaceful and uncomplicated. Sounded off The only thing I didn’t like so much about this book was the Pennsylvania Dutch wording that was thrown in throughout. Maybe because it is not something I read or hear everyday, but in the book just frustrated me, especially because I couldn’t memorize all of the translations from the front.

Luna the Howling Husky Finds Her HowlLuna the Howling Husky Finds Her Howl by Samantha Shannon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luna is a young husky with brothers and sisters galore, but she doesn’t play with them much because she can’t howl, and she doesn’t fit in. This makes Luna feel lonely because she can’t sing with the winds or at the moon, no matter how hard she tries.

One day Luna makes a friend who is as shy and quiet as she is, so they play together and become the best of friends, but Luna still can’t howl and unlike her siblings, she hasn’t been adopted, but will she ever be able to howl and find her forever home?

This is charming story with lovely illustrations, and which has a very important lesson we all should learn and that is to treat everyone with kindness, even if they are different because everyone is deserving of happiness.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No matter where you are in life, things happen which are both within and outside of your control and all this can build up inside until it has nowhere else to go but out and at this is the time of year when everyone is thinking about festivities and the upcoming new year.

For most people, it is a time of joy, but for others it can also be a time of sadness, stress and despair, and journalling can be something that will help get people through the hard times and appreciate the good.

This book is a beautifully set out way to work through the thoughts and emotions which are floating around in your head, as well as the ideas, goals and hopes so that you also can find your way to your heart and unlock the mysteries hidden within.

Luna the Howling Husky Finds Her Howl by Samantha Shannon

Luna the Howling Huskey Finds Her Howl is a cute children’s book that my five-year-old and I loved reading. The colorful illustrations help to bring the story to life. This is about Luna she’s a husky but she can’t howl like the rest of her siblings can. Luna is saddened by the fact the other siblings get adopted and she doesn’t. So follow along with Luna and her special friend Nemo. There are several messages in this cute story. Being kind is important Being different is ok because that’s what makes us special. Just because one is different doesn’t mean they will be loved any differently. I highly recommend reading this book. My son and I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Dangerous Rhythm (The Echo Series Book 4) by C.R. Alam – Review by Kerry Carr

Dangerous Rhythm (The Echo Series, #4)Dangerous Rhythm by C.R. Alam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in The Echo Series. Each book can be read as a standalone as they focus on different couples however I have a feeling once you read one you will want to read them all.
What I love about this story is that it is the female lead who is the bodyguard/protector which is a nice twist as normally its the male. These books are full of danger, chemistry and great characters.

Curtis is a famous rockstar. He has everything he could wish for in life but he feels something is missing. When he witnesses a crime he is forced to go into hiding with a bodyguard for protection. That body guard is Lina.
They met years before when Lina was his bodyguard and Curtis left a lasting impression.
Now their paths cross again as Lina now has to protect him from the Mafia and a woman who wants Curtis. Not for his fame or his body but she wants his head.
Can Lina keep her emotions and desires in check long enough to keep Curtis safe?
When Curtis realises that Lina is what he’s been missing in his life can he convince her that sometimes duty can take a back seat to following your heart.

This is a fast paced romance filled with steamy chemistry and danger around every corner.

Slay It With a Diamond (Diamond District Mystery Book 3) by Rob Bates – Review by M Policicchio

Slay It With a Diamond (Diamond District Mystery Book 3)Slay It With a Diamond by Rob Bates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was my first book by this author and not my usual cup of tea, but it was interesting and sprinkled with a few twists and kept the action moving to keep my interest.

Mimi isn’t where she thought she would or wants to be. Mimi had a short lived career as a journalist and when that ended she wound up working for her father in his diamond store. She is in a long-term relationship with Michael, but she is not sure where that is headed because after a year together, she has yet to meet his daughter or his mother.

When Mimi reaches out to an old friend about a writing job, the friend, Rosalyn, asks about meeting with Mimi’s dad to sell a diamond. The diamond is a rare black diamond that is supposedly cursed. When the diamond causes problems for a different friend of Mimi’s, she feels the need to investigate the history of the diamond to prove that it is not cursed. Through this process, Mimi also finds out what happened to Rosalyn.

Mimi puts her life, her father’s business, her relationship with Michael and her freedom at risk to solve this mystery. With all the twists and suspects along the way, a solution is found!!

The book was a good way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Finding the End Zone (Game Time Series) by Tam DeRudder Jackson – Review by Beverly Finnie

Finding the End ZoneFinding the End Zone by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sports romances are one of my guilty pleasures. So I jumped at the opportunity to read Finding the Endzone. And it did not disappoint. Being that I’ve read this author before helped as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the story the author presented. The question is “How far would one go to get what they want?”
Callahan is the big man on campus. Starting tight end on his college team. All the girls want him. He always gets what he wants. And surprise surprise he’s not a dumb jock. Striving for his education Callahan proves a few people wrong along the way, including Jamaica. She wrote him off and he called her out on it. She was also the one girl he wanted he couldn’t have, not for lack of trying. Helped by their English Lit professor who paired them together for the semester. But no quest is ever easy especially when there’s jealous girls watching in the wings.
Jamaica noticed him, but she didn’t want to. She needed to focus and a man was a distraction. Coming from nothing she needed to keep her grades up to keep her scholarship. How her English Lit professor really didn’t seem to like her. Pairing her up with a jock that she’s going to have to carry. However he surprises her. He’s more intelligent and insightful than she ever gave him credit for. Problem is he wants her and she knows it’s a bad idea especially with the sorority girls following him around.
Does Callahan break Jamaica’s resolve?
Will they make it when he does?
No romance goes off without some hitch. In this case it’s family background holding one back. And a jealous streak that keeps interfering where it shouldn’t be.
The author sucks you in. You will love and be rooting for the two main characters. And getting frustrated with the potential distraction, but it’ll keep you turning the page. You won’t want to put it down!

The Befallen (The Unsung and The Wolf Duology) by Cambria Williams – Review by Ayla Phipps

The BefallenThe Befallen by Cambria Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Breathtaking introductory novel. This is only her first book and I feel she will have a wonderful career ahead. The talent Cambria Williams brings into the imagination was inspiring, and original. Dual perspectives Sloane and Tolvar.
Sloane is like every kid growing up that helps their father, looking forward to the day they are “old” enough to do it on their own. We meet Sloane on that day, she is to walk to the next village, Asana, to the market to sell her father’s leatherwork and return home for the Prodigal Moon Celebration. Enjoying a night in the next town filling her belly before the fasting for the moon goddess, she waits to return the next morning. Sloane is not just any girl but one with physical limitations, a nine-mile walk requires a great deal more time than the average person. She’s never dissuaded and happily allows herself time for safe travels only when she reaches her village, Mohn, it is only remnants of people she knew. The Befallen had attacked in the night while she was away sucking the life out of everyone in the village. The next day she settles to return to the neighboring village to start a life for herself only to be robbed on the way and then find Asana had been devoid of life as well while she was gone. Tolvar is from Capella Realm and only on the island of Deogol in search of the “mythical” savoir from the Befallen, The Unsung. Only his scars run deep, and he is happier at the bottom of a barrel of ale than keeping faith in his “redemption”. Many in the land have forgotten the words of Edan Lore, Sloane, being from a very devoted village has not wavered in her faith but struggles with being seen only for her physical appearance and truly being seen. She has something powerful within her, waiting to be seen.
What will happen when Sloane and Tolvar come face to face? Will her faith be enough to save her island from darkness and ruin? Everything about this world the author creates pulls you deeper into its realm. The language, the descriptions, the emotions. The characters are everyday people, at least to a point, Tolvar is a knight, but I digress. Sloane is a common girl from a tiny mostly unknown village, with a disability, and the faith to keep her fighting with all that she has even after she has lost everything she ever known. Tolvar has suffered the loss of everything he once held as important and now struggles with his own guilt and hunger for redemption that he no longer holds faith in until he finds Sloane. I truly cannot wait to see what this incredible new author has in store next.

I was very excited to continue the Grave Digger Academy series by C. A. King! The third installment did not disappoint. Many of the same characters return, but things are very different at the Academy with many students and faculty leaving. This book started out a little slower but I believe all of the information learned will be beneficial in the long run. We are introduced to more helpers and find out Makayla may be much more than she seems. The Crones have Makayla and the Academy in their sites and seem determined to bring both down. But, with many of her old friends missing this year, Makayla finds her own strengths and magic within her isolation. The same great world building is used and I’ve become so invested in the characters. I cannot wait for the fourth book!

What a fun way to get into the holidays this year.
This was truly a first for me, I love getting into the holidays with holiday reads but this is a first not being cozy holiday mysteries or romances.
This is an anthology with 11 stories including…

Searching for Thanksgiving by S.E. Smith
This is a fantasy with dragons and a touch of mystery . I loved the characters.

Twas the Fight Before Christmas by Pauline Baird Jones
A little romance, a little science fiction, this was a fun read.

Home for Christmas At Christmas by Candace Colt
Another interesting Science Fiction Holiday Romance, with a little guessing dare I say mystery to it.

Unwrapping the True Spirit by Electra Gajdos
This may be the closest in the anthology to the Holiday stories I am used to, gets behind the meaning of the holidays.

Wicked Beginnings by Stephanie Harrell
I love a good duel POV story, its really what I’ve been into lately. This was fantastic with great characters.

Seshka’s Gift by Eliza Sinclair
This was a fun fantasy adventure that is a prequel to a book, which I will have to read soon!

Christmas Trappings by Kendra Hatch
I never thought I would love a Christmas Story that included Aliens, but here I am loved this so much.

The Winter Queen by Cassandra Chandler
Paranormal Romance (?), I guess. I loved this story of the Winter Queen. Clearly I have been missing out never knowing such Holiday stories existed.

Retired, but not Forgotten by Natalie Palma
This is a cozy mystery, easy to read and very enjoyable.

Sunshine’s War by Jill Wallace
A very well written historical romance, I wish it never ended.

Magical Mayhem by Winnie Winkle
Halloween, Full Moons, and Magic. This was a fantastic Rom Com

Such a fun group of stories I never imagined myself reading but so glad that I did.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the seventh book in this series and each book gets better and better. This book can be read as a standalone but it is my advice to read all of them because they are all great reads that you don’t want to miss out on. This book is full of action, drama, mystery, suspense, murder, great characters, twists and turns. There were times while reading when I thought I knew what was going to happen next and then I was thrown for a loop. I found myself immersed in some nail biting moments. Jake and Cody seem to attract trouble like a magnet, luckily for Jake he can always count on his loyal smart k-9 Cody. There were many layers to this story but I didn’t have any trouble keeping up with the story line. The author knows how to keep me turning pages with an intriguing and entertaining book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and look forward to reading what this author has in store for us next.

Another cute title by this author which starts with a man who wants trout for breakfast so he heads off to the lake but nothing is biting!
Then the wind picks up and a waterspout forms and picks up all the water and fish and frogs and heads for town.
While in town it starts dropping the fish and frogs and water…including a fish right on the doorstep of the fisherman.
Cute story telling what happens with a waterspout in language a kid can understand and very cute illustrations. My kid was 5 I read it to.

This book is quirky. It has an interesting hook: it’s told from the point of view of an atheist who is experiencing life following her own death. The characters are delightfully wonky. They go on adventures, and have philosophical discussions. I think they could solve many of the world’s problems- if only they were alive to do so!

My son and I are big fans of the author, and enjoyed Raining Fish and Frogs. The illustrations were bright and colorful and some silly. A wind sucked up everything in the lake- water and animals included. It got so strong that it kept sucking things up and spitting them back out all across town. We assumed it was from the author’s imagination, and were shocked to read that its partly true. Upon finishing, we headed over to google and read some articles of this happening in real life. It is a fun story for elementary age kiddos. It could be tied into a science lesson on weather.

Knight In Peril (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery #6)Knight In Peril by Alice Bienia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Knight in Peril is the sixth book in the Jorja Knight series but the first book I have read by this author. That being said, this CAN be read as a standalone, as I had no difficulty following the story or characters along the way. I do think I would benefit more from reading previous books which would add to the character development and back story a bit, and I will be going back to read the others to confirm that. I really liked the main character, she is such a feisty spitfire of a woman that I could really get behind. The story takes place in Istanbul, where Jorja goes to visit her friend. Upon arrival, her friend is nowhere to be seen, and she isn’t back at the guest house either. Now, with a sinking feeling in her chest, Jorja must search the foreign land for her friend. I have never been to Istanbul but the descriptions and settings are absolutely believable and immersive. I really liked this writing and am kicking myself for picking up the series at the end!
