Levi by Edith Mackenzie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My first book from this author. And this book was softer than things I’ve been reading. I enjoyed the characters and the story line. A little short for what I normally like as well, but wouldn’t deter me from recommending it.
Pilot Who Knows the Waters by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have never enjoyed historical fiction more than I have with this series. I am very sad to see it ending. Lord Hani is back on what could be his most difficult mission yet. And not one time was I disappointed. This book had my attention from the first pages through the very end. As it is the final book in the series, would HIGHLY recommend reading the previous ones.
Devil’s Breath by Lang Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I couldn’t stop. This book consumed me and any nano second of free time I had. Sera and Cassius were delicious characters who were so hard not to fall in love with. This was my first book from this author, and I really really hope to see more in this story. I have everything crossed.
Deadly Sommer by Nicholas Harvey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Uhm… sir, I need my jaw back off the floor please. I haven’t enjoyed a book like this in so long. Nora is an amazing character to follow. I wish I’d known about the novella prequel, I’d still be here. Very excited to read book two.
Coyote’s Road Trip by Laura Koerber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this. My first book from this author. I really enjoy dystopian books, and this was far different that all the action packed others I’ve read. It was like a nice walk through the woods. It was a quick read, not entirely disappointed, with it was a bit longer.
Caging Grace (Grace Series, #1). by Carsen Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was good. My first book from this author, not disappointed… different from what I’d normally read, but again, not disappointed. Grace is a great character and I appreciate the time put into her growth. Would follow along if it became a series.
Exit Strategy by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Not saying I liked the fact this series is over, but it couldn’t have been finished in any better way. I absolutely loved the journey we followed Dahlia on. Would absolutely recommend it, and will read it again without a doubt!
Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love Chloe and Quintus!!! The way the characters relate reminded me of one of my favorite friends so it worked. Also really enjoyed the fact that the main character isn’t a fighter but a healer. Definitely looking forward to the rest of this series!
Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this. My first book by this author. I liked the characters and felt they were well written. Would recommend to friends without a doubt.
A Veil of Gods and Kings by Nicole Bailey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love this book so much. I need more stars!! Greek mythology is one of my favorite things to read. Apollo usually isn’t my favorite to read about, but this retelling was spun just differently enough. I really enjoyed this and I can’t wait for book two!!
Slash & Burn by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the floor… I can’t even begin with this series!! Dahlia is literally one of my favorite bad behind ladies in anything I’m currently reading. I mean come on! If you haven’t started this series you’re severely missing out. 10/10 would recommend and will continue to do so!
Keeping Secrets- Prospect by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ugh yes. This series just gets better and better and I can’t get enough of it. Was easily my favorite one so far. Iron and Joy’s story is filled with secrets and all the yummy goodies that you will enjoy. Definitely worth reading.
Santa…Nope the Grimm Wolves by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m beginning to have a problem with this series, and that probably is that I can’t get enough. All of these characters are so good! Not big on holiday themed books being a main book in a series, but I’ll get over it.
Bottom of the Chains by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I could only wish for this book to be longer! This is my second book from this author and I’m still not disappointed. Bullet has been through some things, but he really seems like he wants to make right with the guys. Would absolutely recommend.
Notebook Mysteries ~ Changes and Challenges by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m so ready to follow Emma in her next adventure, really hoping for a fourth book. This is the third book in the series so far, highly recommended to read the first two books as this one picks up right after book two. Emma is a great character and she’s hard not to like. Would definitely recommend this.
Class Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Uhm. I hate clowns. With a passion. But this book, oh gosh it was so so good. Abbey is a force, and at only 14, I sure wouldn’t be messing with her. This was my first book from this author, 10/10 stars for you! It was hard to leave it and I really want a second book…
Apocalypse by Theresa Pocock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Some books just need more stars… this was just as engrossing as book one in the series, and I couldn’t put it down. Seth is still the best, and will do what he has to. Would absolutely recommend this to my friends to read.
Behemoth by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I can safely and fully honestly say it’s been a good while since I’ve immediately bought an entire series based off the first book. I COULD NOT read this fast enough. I fell in love with these characters so quick, I needed more, and right then. 10/10 gold stars for you author. This was my first book I’ve read written by this author also, not a shred of disappointment in sight.
Weep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and all of its 120 pages. I’m just sad that it was so short. Still giving it five stars though because I very much enjoyed reading it, and consumed it in maybe 45 minutes. I would have liked it to be longer, that’s really my only problem with it. First book by this author also, much impressed.
Journeys Through Collection: Volume 1-3 by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was so so very good! I made the mistake of reading book two first, but I came back to book one and I was not upset about that. This isn’t my strongest genre to read, but I was so drawn in to the worlds and characters is was really hard not to enjoy it. Would absolutely recommend.
I feel that I can read almost any genre, except the space time travel type. But, this book was fantastic. I haven’t read the first book yet, forgive me it’s on my list, but these characters are great. I would love to see where they started and how they’ve grown. I hope there will be more stories to this series as I’m definitely interested to see where it will take me.
I couldn’t stop. This book could not be put down. I needed to consume it with every free moment I had, which aren’t many lately. This was maybe my favorite book of the series, if you haven’t read one and two, go find them. Very much a different style of story and writing than my “go to books” but dang I couldn’t say a bad thing if I wanted. Good work sir. I’m excited to see what comes next.
A Spider in the Garden by Courtney Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I don’t even know where to start. This book was beyond good, and honestly one of my favorites I’ve read so far this year. This is my first book I’ve read written by this author and I’m invested. I really hope to see more for this series.
Journeys Through AllCreation by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I couldn’t stop. This book could not be put down. I needed to consume it with every free moment I had, which aren’t many lately. This was maybe my favorite book of the series, if you haven’t read one and two, go find them. Very much a different style of story and writing than my “go to books” but dang I couldn’t say a bad thing if I wanted. Good work sir. I’m excited to see what comes next.
Can I have some more please? I did not want this world to end! 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone who asks for a good fantasy book. This did it. Definitely kept me on the edge of my seat, and not wanting to believe I was a real person and didn’t exist in this story. This was my first book by the author and I was impressed.
Etched in this Moment by Calla Zae
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well. That escalated quickly! I couldn’t stop reading. I’m sad it was as short as it was, and I personally feel like everything was rushed and that we missed out on so much goodness. BUT it is the first of the series, so I’m not going to harp. My first book by this author, very pleased with her writing style and characters. I’ll be here for book two!
Smoke & Mirrors by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Slow clap from the back!! Oh my goodness! I can’t say I’ve read many series lately that I’m still obsessing over three books in, but girl here I am!! Dahlia is *chefs kiss* one bad thing! I am so in love with her character. Creed and Dahlia are in for it this time. Definitely appreciate the work that went into their creation together. I’m ready for book four.
Savage Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I couldn’t devour this book quick enough. I was so excited seeing this title hit my kindle. I adore anything written by this author. She just knows how to bring all of her characters to life and hit all the right buttons to keep me focused on them!! I can’t wait to read book five!!
Shake Loose the Border by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow… don’t even look to start here if you haven’t read the first two books. Go, shoo… if you have read them, get on this one immediately. This book took me through probably every human emotion. I can’t even imagine having to have written it without a meltdown of some form. Such a great book, and I’m really really hoping this isn’t the end of this series.
Exiled South by Harriet Cannon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Again, I am probably the least interested ever in reading history based fiction, but I couldn’t stop reading this. The civil war was definitely one of my favorite history lessons if I had to choose one, and this book was so good. Our main character was recently widowed, her boys off at school, and she just needed to find herself again. I really enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would.
Tally and the Angel Book Two, Canada by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Tally and Jophiel are back. Another good story to read with my daughter. We really enjoyed how the second book was in a different country and we(she) got to learn new things. Excited to see where Tally and her angel go next.
Tally and the Angel : Book One India by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed reading this with my daughter. She enjoyed the strut and learning about a new country. She’s a little younger than the age group this was intended for, but we made due. It was a cute story with a little bit of everything in it.
