My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love this series and book 4 is no exception! Cam and Freja have said that they wouldn’t leave Lewis again, but some troubling news sends them off on another mission to discover answers. The characters development throughout this series is excellent and Cam and Freja are both very believable and relatable characters. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book to come out!! I highly recommend this series to everyone who loves dystopian novels.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moonlit Kiss is a sweet romance with mystery, suspense, and just the right amount of steamy scenes. I loved the authors use of imagery. I could picture Venice and the canals, cafes, and houses so well. Gianna was an excellent main character and I enjoyed seeing her point of view. This was the first book I have read by Amy McKinley, but it definitely won’t be my last. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes romance and mystery novels.

I loved this book! I could not put it down. I kept reading last night until I could not keep my eyes open and had to finish it this morning. It has so many twists and keeps you guessing throughout the whole book. Molly is an excellent lead character, with a great personality. The author has written all the characters very well and made them very believable and relatable. I would recommend House in the Woods to anyone who loves mysteries. It’s a wonderful mystery novel and I will definitely check out more by this author!

Dragons by Ty Drago – Review by Elizabeth Rosenberg

DragonsDragons by Ty Drago
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dragons is a very interesting YA sci-fi story. I’m not usually one that goes for sci-fi, but this story had me hooked! Andy has been taught to hide his true nature his whole life, but when he’s kidnapped, he has no choice but to let that nature show. Ty Drago has created a very well-written novel with imagery that lets you really picture these otherworldly landscapes. There is also great character development, especially for the main character Andy. I’m glad I took a chance on this book, because I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it!

Ouroboros (Antipodes #3)Ouroboros by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series just gets better and better! This book picks right back up where the last one ended. Cam is devastated by his loss and confused by his feelings for Freja. I love that we get to see Freja’s viewpoint in this book as well. Together they make new friends and discover horrifying things, not only out in the world, but within domed communities as well. I could barely put this book down. The characters just seem so lifelike and relatable, I found myself invested in their story and feeling their emotions. I absolutely can’t wait for the next book to come out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just finished book 2, and all I can say is wow! What an emotional roller coaster! TS Simons has done it again. I had a hard time putting it down. This story is so well-written and the characters are very relatable. I felt like I was feeling Cam’s emotions with him. Cam grows a lot through this book and learns more about himself and the world around him. I have truly enjoyed this series so far and cannot wait to read the third book!

The Cross of Ciarán (The Cross of Ciarán Book 1) by Andrea Matthews – Review by Elizabeth Rosenberg

The Cross of CiaranThe Cross of Ciaran by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A cross for Ciarán is very well written. The characters are engaging and relatable, especially Father Mike, Mary, and the main characters of Ciarán and Caitlyn. The interaction between the characters feels genuine and I love the bits of Irish and Latin that are mixed in to the story. They author does a good job of showing flashbacks to the fifth century within the chapters that are in the present setting without it getting too confusing. It’s ends on a bit of a cliff hanger so I look forward to reading the next in this series!

Blue Summer Part Two by Everly Taylor – Review by Elizabeth Rosenberg

Blue Summer Part TwoBlue Summer Part Two by Everly Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After finishing part one, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next one! Blue Summer Part Two picks up right where part one left off. Lillie has been captured again by the sorcerer Erius. This part is another quick read with more steamy romance, humor, and magic. Lillie is just as feisty as ever and I love her banter with the Zayed. This part, like the first, felt a bit rushed to me, but I love the overall story. I also love that we get to learn more about Lillie and each of her mates. I do hope that the author continues with the series, or maybe shares more of the Zayed’s stories. I’d definitely recommend this quick duo to anyone looking for a fun and steamy quick read!

Blue Summer Part One by Everly Taylor – Review by Elizabeth Rosenberg

Blue Summer Part OneBlue Summer Part One by Everly Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blue Summer Part One is a quick read with wit and humor, steamy romance, and magic. Lillie is a strong and independent woman who is used to only being able to depend on herself. One day, her purse is stolen and she runs into two Zayed while trying to recover it. The Zayed are blue humanoid creatures that rather remind me of an old childhood favorite. The Zayed have been in conflict with an evil sorcerer for many years, and this brief contact with the Zayed now has Lillie in the sorcerers sights! When the Zayed take her back to their village, she must figure out her place and discover if she’s strong enough to help the Zayed prevail. My only critique is that I do wish the story did not seem so rushed. The entire first part spans less than two days. The story ends on a cliffhanger that will definitely have you looking to buy the next part! I look forward to getting to read it!

An Unexpected Bonding (The Unexpected Trilogy Book 1) by Lilly Rayman – Review by Elizabeth Rosenberg

An Unexpected Bonding: Book One of The Unexpected TrilogyAn Unexpected Bonding: Book One of The Unexpected Trilogy by Lilly Rayman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the first of a trilogy and after reading it, all I can say is wow! I can’t wait to read the others. The character development is great, the plot is well paced, and there’s just the right amount of romance. There are a lot of elements to this story (vampires, “werewolves”, fairies, Egyptian mythology, and more) but the author does a great job at shifting character POVs and showing the past and present without it getting too confusing. The characters are very relatable, despite being mostly non-human, which made the book much more enjoyable. Livvie is a strong female lead and I enjoyed her personality and how she grew throughout the story. I had a hard time putting the book down and look forward to reading more by this author!
