By: C.A. King
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi Series Book 1) by C.A. King was a thrilling read that had me hooked.

Not my first read by this author, so I was excited to see this little wonder appear. The cover captured my attention (as does all the covers for this author) and once I read the synopsis, I was hooked, line and sinker.

As I am a fan of horror, and fantasy, this was a pleasant mix that really kept me reading. The detail was to shelf as per-normal with this author, and the story telling alluring. This book takes you into a darkness that has a bit of realism to it, making this read all the more heart pounding. The tone and flow matched and helped with keeping you not only engaged but on the edge of your seat.

Original and fresh this book is a must read, so please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will not beadle to put this book down, or look at certain things we eat, the same way again.

By: Natalina Reis
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rebel Jewel (The Jewel Chronicles Book 3) by Natalina Reis was hooking, engaging, and it had me flipping the pages.

Oh wow, what a way to end an amazing series. I’m sad to see these characters go, but happy they got their ending, and what a ending it was. Now this book is part of a series, and I highly suggest reading the first two book, or you will be confused as to what is going on, and you will miss out on the impact this full complete story brings. I’m not going to get into details, as I don’t want to spoil anything. But just know this book, this series is a must read. Not only well written, it has action, love, danger, amazing detail, and connecting well developed characters that you can’t help but fall for. The plot is both complex and multi layered, and keeps you fully engaged form start to finish.

This book, this series has it all and it’s a super high recommend from me, and it also gets my golden stamp of approval

Shameless (The Orphan Train Saga Book 2)Shameless
By: Sherry A. Burton
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shameless (The Orphan Train Saga Book 2) by Sherry A. Burton was just as good as the first book and kept me reading.

The second book in this fresh original series once again takes us back to a time long gone, and on an adventure that is both heart breaking, nerve wrecking and touching. I fell right into the easy writing style and the details of the era that this book takes place in. You can tell care and research went into making this book not only engaging and picturesque but, it makes this book a portal that hooked you, puling you in, making you almost apart of this story.

Overall this book is worth your time and energy. As this is part of a series, I highly suggest reading the first book, as you will miss backstory, and important details that will make this book confusing otherwise. So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that you will not be able to put this series, nor this book down.

By: Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Fisher Men X-ing Lines (Fisher Men Book II) by Rebel Nicks O’Dey was a hooking read that had me flipping the pages.

The second book in the steamy series, I was taken in right away. I loved the was the book was constructed, it was original, intriguing and it has this edge to it that just kept you engaged. It was that waiting for them to meet, to know if that spark, that connection was real, or just something they played up in their heads. I loved both MC’s, they were well written and well developed. The way they played off one another was magical, fun and just pure entertainment. I loved it, and frankly I didn’t want it to end. I could feel the chemistry through the pages, and that kind of talent is rare.

Overall this book is more than worth your time and energy, it’s a must read like no other and I can almost guarantee that you will not be able to put this fresh original read down. So yes, this book gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Collision (Shattered Hearts Book 3) by Nicole Banks – Review by Emily Walsh

Collision (Shattered Hearts, #3)Collision
By: Nicole Banks
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Collision (Shattered Hearts Book 3) by Nicole Banks was a pretty interesting read that kept me engaged, and flipping the pages.

This book was by far the better out of the three. I like these two from the other two books, and frankly, I liked their storyline better. Mainly because I felt they were better developed characters. So when I seen they got their own story I was all for it. Needless to say, I was impressed, hooked and fall hard for this redeeming third book, in this okay series. Maybe because the author was more mature when it was written, as it was started at the start of the book. You can tell there is a different tone a written style. The overall story was well put together, from the opening, to the reuniting, to the danger and the thick chemistry. I loved how Chase had to fight he way back in, and the way Kris wasn’t having any of his excuses. I was one her side, even though I was rooting for them the whole time. It was a wonderful, reconnecting second chance romance, that was heavy on the feels, and heart pounding suspense.

I have to say this book is worth your time, it can be read as a standalone, but it you want their full backstory and the building romance, then I do suggest the other two books. They’re good reads as well, and this whole series gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval

Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas #2)Rogue Wave
By: Gwyn McNamee
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee was a fast pace, action filled edge of your seat read that had me hooked.

The second book in this intriguing read, I was pulled in right away. The book bought out all that I wanted from the MC’s in the first book. And I have to say that I loved this book more than the first.

The MC’s really stole the show. Well developed with strong layers that just kept being pealed back, they kept me reading and I didn’t want it to stop. It isn’t very often that I fall for both leads, and I have to say even though I wasn’t a big fan of Cutter in the first book, this one showcased him in a different way. So much backstory, so much, just, wow. I want to know more about him. Valentina carried over that fierce powerhouseness from the read, and she just kept proving how awesome she is.

Overall this is worth your time and energy, it has everything you want, strong sexy complex characters, great plot, wicket writing, and you got one hell of a good read. To end this book gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

The Confectioner Chronicles: The Complete Fantasy Mystery Series
(The Confectioner Chronicles)
by Claire Luana

Book 1: “What a fun read, it was everything I was hoping it would be and more. Claire Luana open this book running and quickly the plot is under way”

Book 2: “Masterfully written this beautiful dangerous world isn’t like anything I have read before. It just keeps hitting me with new fresh ideas and plots, that I can’t believe this book, this series, isn’t more popular. Not only are we treated with talented writing but, the emotions behind that wiriting gets you right in the feels.”

Book 3: “The final book in The Confectioner Chronicles, we are taking to the secrets that Wren hides, and ones we finally get to learn the full truth about. Picking up almost where the last book leaves off, there is no stopping this epic fantasy. As the danger lurks closer, the suspense thickened, I was on the edge of my seat for most, I at times even forgot to breathe!”

This series is a super high recommendation from me. It’s worth your everything!

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Discovery (The Orphan Train Saga Book 1) by Sherry A. Burton was was a pretty interesting read that kept me reading.

My first read by this author, I went in with an open mind, and just hit the grow running. I fall easy into this book, as it was well written, had a nice flow, and I liked the back and forth between past and present. I normally don’t read books like this, so it was a nice step out of my normal comfort zone. The were many different elements, that all came to gather for an original intriguing read. I like the MC’s voice, and the stories about her grandmother. It was a nice step back in time, and I fully enjoyed this read.

Overall this book is fit for all ages and it will take you back to a crazy time in this woman life. It’s a good way to see just how much we don’t know about or loved ones, like grandmothers.

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Emily Walsh

The FloodThe Flood
By: Meghan O’Flynn
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn was a dark twisted read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read by this author, so I knew going in that I was in for something not only well written, but twisted, dark and trilling. I was not disappointed. This book starts out dark, and stays that way. It keeps pulling you more and more into its cold twisted hold of horror; that not only keeps you guessing, but will have you wondering, what you would do, in that same situation. Chills, just chills. There’s just something about the whole thing, that will get you right in the darkness of your soul. I’ve seem movies like this, but I have to say, this version has been one of the best so far.

This book is crazy good, and I’m still consumed about how everything when down. How as you go back, you start making connections, start seeing the easter eggs that you missed. This psychological thriller will have you second guessing every character, every word, every decision, and it will have you trying not to root for the MC, while secretly rooting for her to survive.

Overall this read is not only worth it, this book will mess with your head, have you wondering about human nature, and of course, as I have said, have you wondering what you would do. So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that you will get lost in the darkness and suspense that is this gem of a book.

Dangerously Close To Extinction (Knollville Legends Book 1)Dangerously Close To Extinction
By: C.A. King
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dangerously Close To Extinction (Knollville Legends Book 1) by C.A. King was a pretty okay read that kept me reading.

The first book in a new fun series, I went in with an open mind and excitement. As an avid reader of this authors works I knew I was in for something original, twisted and action packed. I will say that this book hit most points, but it did, for me, lacked a little when it came to the romance. But I think that more so had to do with the fact this book is a pretty short read. Coming in at 184 pages, there was a lot packed into this wonder, so I believe the love-development might have suffered because of that. To be a little blunt, it felt forced and a little off balanced, but I believe and hope that as this series goes on, it will even out. Just needs a bit more time for it to fully become believable.

Overall this book is worth your time and the read. It’s well written, well built, and it will hook you. It has a strong plot, that stands on its own, and the action and shifter lore was on point. To end, this book gets my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts #2)Into Pieces
By: Nicole Banks
My Rating: 3 of 5 stars

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) by Nicole Banks was an okay read that kept me reading.

The second book in this raw emotional read, it picks up where the last book left off. Following these characters over from that first book, which I did have some issues with, I was hoping that the MC’s would mature. As the two major subjects that this book covers, I was hoping for something more. As a serving member and a supervisor, I’ve seen, and have had to assisted with the issues persistent in this book. There were times that the author had it, I could see the growth, but there were others that I just sat back and shook my head. I still have problems with Angel, and I just, can’t get over the way he acted at times.

Overall this book wasn’t bad, the author does a wonderful job at expressing the characters emotions. Not just the MC’s but the side characters as well. The plot line is compelling, as we get more into the demons that both MC’s have and are carrying. That raw emotion is what kept me reading. Writing like that is hard to come by. So please take my recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get caught up in this feels invoking read.

Happy Reading.

Fools Rush In (Interstellar Rescue, #3)Fools Rush In
By: Donna S. Frelick
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fools Rush In: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 3 by Donna S. Frelick was a compelling read that had me hooked.

First things first, though this says book three it can be read as a standalone. But I suggest reading the other books as they are just as multi-layered and rich. With that out of the way, let’s get into it, shall we.

I have to say I did enjoyed this book far more than the others, and I believe that is because, this books takes place in space. I loved the concept, the danger and the tone. It has a bit of mystery, mixed of danger and romance, but the romance was more an add on than a main plot point, which jelled nicely. Making the story have a natural progressive feel. I love the MC’s, the detail and the world-building. It brought you into this original read and kept you there. This book is truly something to be on the lookout for, and I can’t wait to see what else there is to come.

Overall this book, this series is worth your time an energy, and it gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Eternity (Captivity Book 3)Eternity
By: Sarah Biglow
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eternity: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 3) by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk was a fast pace ending that closed out a just as equally fast pace action packed series.

This series has been one of my fave this year, it starts out on a serious note and set the stage for the action and crazy to come. As this was a short read it was over before I knew it, and as happy as I am that this series got it’s ending, I was sad to see it go.

I do hope there is more to come from this world, as I feel like there is so much more that can be explored upon. But overall this book was just as good as the others, and held that same intensity, fast moving plot, complex layers, that has made this series not only memorable but fresh and original. Just to note this is a continuation series, so you have to read the books in order. If not you won’t get the impact, or understand the layers that make up this powerhouse read.

To end, this book gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Regency Love: Reflections of a Young LadyRegency Love: Reflections of a Young Lady
By: T.L. Clark
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Regency Love: Reflections of a Young Lady by TL Clark was an intriguing read that hooks you from the start, and keeps you until the last page is flipped.

As a fan of historical fiction, I was excited to read this book. Right out of the gate I was pulled in, and was transported back in time to a place of lace, ball gowns, courting and titles. It was well researched, authentic, and the detail not only paints a realistic pictured, it brings you into the story itself. The world building was top shel, and the characters were well written, well rounded complex and compelling. My only complaint, is that this book is a bit on the longer side, over 400 pages. I found there was some filler along the way, I first notice it at the start with a letter to the MC’s younger sister. I get what was trying to be done, as I am a fan of Jane Austen, but I feel like that letter didn’t add to the plot, and was a bit dry. But other than that, I was impressed with this read, and I will be checking out more from this author.

Overall this book is worth your time and energy. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that weather if you like this genres or not, this book will take you back to a time long gone, and will give you that inside look into the minds of the women who at the time, did not have choices of their own.

Shattered (Shattered Hearts #1)Shattered
By: Nicole Banks
My Rating: 3 of 5 stars

Shattered (Shattered Hearts Series Book 1) by Nicole Banks was an okay read, that is heavy on the emotions and drama.

A little out of my normal comfort zone, I went into this book with an open mind. I like the flow and the multi POV’s, each character had a distinct voice and the transitions were smooth and noticeable. The voices didn’t blend, which is hard to do with more than two POV’s; so props to the author for that.

I like the overall plot, but there are a few things that bother me. I didn’t like the push and pull, sure at first it was expected, and I wasn’t bothered by it, as both Angel and Jasmine are heavily scarred. I didn’t like how long it went on, the lack of honesty, and the immatureness of their growing relationship. They were childhood friends, but acted more like “old not close friends”. I was waiting for more from them, and I was let down in that regard. Also, as the story went on, I wasn’t too please with the way Angel was acting.

Overall this book is a good read, it has many complex elements that are multi layered, and full of raw emotions. I am going to be reading the second book, as this one does end on a cliffy. This book gets my recommendation and stamp of approval, so please give this book a chance, as it has a compelling story of learning to trust, and picking up the shattered pieces.

Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3) by Gwyn McNamee was fast pace, intriguing read, that packs a mean punch.

This book was everything you wanted in concluding a series. As I said it was fast pace, but moved in a steady way as to keep the reader engaged. There wasn’t a dull moment, as the detail kept your mind there, and the suspense kept you on the edge of your seat. This book at times will get you in the feels, with its well written characters, plot, and storytelling. The author did a wonderful job at making this book feel like a full leant novel. It’s always amazed me when Authors can do that. This book is part of a series, so make sure you read the other books before this one. As it has a building continuous plot, and you won’t get the full impact if you skip them, like this book they aren’t long reads.

Overall this book is more then worth your time an energy, and it gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

By: Cynthia Hamilton
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finding Ruth: A Daughter’s Quest to Discover Her Mother’s Past by Cynthia Hamilton was a pretty okay read that kept me reading and got the feels flowing.

Out of my normal realm of reading, I didn’t know what to expect. This book pulled me in pretty fast, and it had this nice easy flow that made it easy to follow and read. This story is just as much about forgiveness as it is about a life journey through time and shattered memories. It really gets the feels going, and at times I really felt for Ruth. But I will say that things did get a little repetitive, and parts became are a little dry because of that. It was sadly enough to pull me from this compelling story. But other then that this book is well constructed, well researched, and has so many emotional scene that you can’t help but continue reading.

Overall this book is worth your time and energy; it’s a wonderful summer, or lazy Sunday read. To end this book gets my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Legacy of Luck (The Druid’s Brooch Series Book 3) by Christy Nicholas was a pretty okay read that was intreating, engaging, with a solid plot.

A follower of this series, I have to say this wasn’t my fav, but still held my attention and kept me reading. I love the characters, and the MC’s were well developed, compelling, and easy to like. I like the opening, it set the stage for me and cemented the plot to come. The flow was steady, and the detail, wow, this book was heavy on the detail and really made you feel like you were apart of this world. I love the journey, the mystery, the little magic, and the high price that our MC had to pay when given the “gift”. This book was a rare take on what it deemed as romance. Sure they had little time together, but his will to dave her, find her, and doing what he could, was a treat for me.

I do wish there was more magic, and fea, but overall this book was a pretty solid read, and it gets my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Simply Irresistible: A Totally Sweet Love Story by Jennifer L. Allen as fun sweet read that had me hooked.

This book was a perfect slow lazy summer read that was relaxing, entertaining and funny. It was well written, detail and has this nice cheesy tone that you can’t help but get it pulled into.

I liked that it was told in dual POV, so we got the funess from both sides. That added such a nice element that I couldn’t even pick a favourite POV. Both MC’s are strong and well developed. I loved their interactions and banter. It was natural, engaging, and it had this nice realistic growth that you couldn’t help but smile at. This book really got me in the warm and fuzzy feels. On a whole this read has many familiar elements as any romcom, but also has this freshness that hooks you and blows the normal cliché’s out of the water.

Guilty Pleasures Volume 3: Guilty Pleasures by Joyce McCarthy was a hot steamy read, that had me hooked.

Not my first read by this author or in this series. I was instantly pulled in by the tease of an opening, and before I knew it I was flipping the steamy pages, while trying not to get too, over heated.

Following Brad and his adventures was a treat. This collection of short yet steamy stories are the perfect mix of smut, hot, quick, and it pulls on fantasies that some of us may have had. It’s a perfect way to escape, get you a little hot under the caller and, looking over your shoulder to make sure no one catches onto what you’re reading. The writing is easy to follow, detail and has a nice rhythm. Overall this book is very well constructed and is worth the pick up and read.

To end this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Trouble in Mind: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 2 by Donna S. Frelick was an exciting, detailed original read, that had me hooked.

The second book in this series, we are taken on a new adventure, a new mystery, with new MC’s. In saying that, this book can be read as a standalone. Like the first, this book is told in multi POV, so lots more details and added impact. And I will tell you that, this book has more than impact, it’s gripping, compelling and engaging. There is so much going on outside of the main plot, that you forget you’re reading. The detail is top shelf, it pulls you in and makes the world/s, all the more realistic and picturesque. The MC’s interaction where fun, emotional and I quickly start to care for them.

Overall this book is worth your time and energy. It’s edgy, well written and addicting as hell, and if you haven’t guessed from that, this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Sanctuary: A Paranormal Romance Novella (Captivity Book 2) by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk was a fast pace, thrilling read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

The second book in this unique compelling series, we are tossed back into the tick of things and it was pulling right out of the gate. I love how fast moving, detailed and exciting this book was. It has well rounded characters, complex plot, engaging dialogue and stimulating action. I flew through this read, and like the last I was sad when it ended. Yes, I do know there are more books, and I will be checking them out, (just pretty much, take my money,) cause I might be slightly addicted to this series. Now I will say that you have to read the first book before this one, as this series has a continuation plot line, and you will get lost without the first read. That and, since this book picks up right were the last leaves off, you’re going to miss out on that heart pounding ending, and spoil the impact.

Overall this book, this series, is worth your time, energy, and it’s worth to be talked about. So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that you will get captured by this original, fresh, outstanding read.

OF WAR AND TATERS by Ashley Chappell was a fun read that had a little bit of everything, that kept me both entertained and engaged.

Not my first read by this author, so I knew going in that I was in for a well written witty read, with intertwining elements. I was not led astray, and this book brought what it stated. Now I will say that I did find the pacing a little slow at times, especially with all the different POV’s. But overall, it wasn’t that much of a bad thing. I did love how every different element was connected somehow, and the dog, Mr. Cuddle Face, it was like this little innocent voice that popped in; made me smile, and just had me wanting to steel him away.

Overall this book is a fun quick read that will have you second guessing, scratching your head and laughing. It was the perfect little mix of fun, drama, spoof, dark humour, mystery and entertainment. This book will keep you reading, and it will have you wondering why there isn’t more like it. I do hope there is more to come from this wonderful little world that the author has created.

A Divided MindA Divided Mind
By: M. Billiter
My Rating: 3 of 5 stars

A Divided Mind by M. Billiter was a unique read that was a completely different then I thought it would be.

I went into this book thinking it was a thriller but, it was more like a life contemporary, about metal illness, and how this family had to face that life challenge. So it was a little off putting for me that this wasn’t the thriller I was hoping for, but overall I did like this story. You can tell a lot of care and research went into making the read as emotional and realistic as possible.

I will say that, the mother was not my fave, as this book was told in dual POV, you got a few different angles. She has expansive taste, but complained about the financial stress; seemed like she didn’t have her priorities all that straight. I just couldn’t connect all that well with her. Branson on the other hand, was a well written complex character, that drew me in, and really made this story for me. I love when it was his POV, and that’s what kept me reading.

Overall this book is a surprise, and it as a whole, is quite the multi-layered tale about a families journey through the effects that mental illness has on not only the MC, but his family circle as well. On that note this book gets my high recommendation and my stamp of approval

Happy Reading.

The Season Finale (Paranormal Talent Agency Book 6) by Heather Silvio – Review by Emily Walsh

The Season Finale (Paranormal Talent Agency, #6)The Season Finale
By: Heather Silvio
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Season Finale (Paranormal Talent Agency Book 6) by Heather Silvio was a sweet, fast pace moving, paranormal romance that for me not only perfectly closed out an equally amazing series, but left room for the author to revisit if needed.

Though this book could be read as a standalone, I highly suggest reading this series in order. There is a lot you’ll miss if you start with this book, also all past characters are in this one, you will miss the impact of the final reveal.

Detailed and full of entertainment I was quickly swept up into this unique read. I like the way this was brought pretty much full circle, and how it tied up loss ends, while keeping everything new, fresh, and exciting. The MC’s, this time were okay. I’ve been on the fence about Liz, but this book made me see her in a different light. The love interest was okay. I liked his charm and the his straight forwardness towards Liz, it was different, and kind of cute.

Overall this book was the perfect addition and final. I do hope the author revisits this world one day, or builds onto it. So to end this book, this series, gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Unchained Memory ( Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1)Unchained Memory
By: Donna S. Frelick
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unchained Memory (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1) by Donna S. Frelick was an compelling, science fiction story that was full of mystery, steamy smut; mixed with a multilayered plot, and you got one hooking story. That had me completely engrossed from start to finish.

I can’t tell you enough how much I fell for this story. Right out the gate, with that heart wrenching prolog, you’re pulled into this unique read. This book is packed with raw emotion, that’s both dark, light and mysterious. Both MC’s are well developed and complex. Told in dual POV, we get inside both of their heads, adding to the layers of this wonderful read. It brought a new kind of tone, and it added to the overall impact of the story.

The detail and story telling was on point, the plot was simply everything I never knew I wanted. This books was vast like space, and the author did an outstanding job of pulling you in, to the what’s if, and the darkness that maybe lurking above us. Overall I can’t stress enough how good this book is, and that you need it in your life.

So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval that you will get taken, get lost, and break over this one of kind read.

Happy Reading.

Proper Impulse (Jaded Lily Book 4) by Zeia Jameson – Review by Emily Walsh

Proper ImpulseProper Impulse
By: Zeia Jameson
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Proper Impulse (Jaded Lily Book 4) by Zeia Jameson was an interesting, fun, read that had me hooked.

With every book I read from this series I just fall more and more in love with it. This one was probably my fav so far, as it has that element of polar-opposites, that have it out for one another, but can’t help fight the attraction. The writing had an easy flow, the detail was on point, and the pace was steady and swift moving.

I loved the MC’s, and the way they played off one another, their growth and their passion. It felt natural, and I just loved every minute of the romance. The plot wasn’t anything overly original, but it was fun, and I did very much enjoy it. It was nicely woven and it added something popping to the romance and the wicket dynamic of the MC’s. It’s not very often I like the MC’s over plot, so bravo to the author for that.

Overall this book is a fun quick read that will have you flipping the pages. It has a little bit of everything and it delivers what it promised. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will fly through this yin yang read.

Happy Reading

17 Marigold Lane (Prudence Penderhaus Book 1) by R.M. Gilmore – Review by Emily Walsh

17 Marigold Lane17 Marigold Lane
By: R.M. Gilmore
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

17 Marigold Lane (Prudence Penderhaus Book 1) by R.M. Gilmore was an intriguing, emotional read, that had me hooked and reading into the wee hours.

Wow, this book was something I tell you. I started reading it a little later in the evening thinking, I’ll read a few chapters before I go to bed. Well it’s almost 2 in the morning, so yeah, you can say that was a reading fail on my part. I couldn’t put this book down, I kept trying, but my mind would not let it go, and sleep wouldn’t not come. So I kept flipping the pages to unravel the mystery, and I just had to know more about Cassius and Prudence.

I will say that the start was a little slow, for me, but that didn’t put me off because the writing and tone was hooking, and Cassius was such an interesting well written character that I had to know more about his situation. Research and care went into his development, and it made him such a realistic character, that I wanted to protect him just as much as Prudence. Speaking of, at first I wasn’t a fan of hers, no that’s not right. I wasn’t a fan of how she was presented. The author kept repeating at first that Pru wasn’t anything special, and all that normal YA jazz, so that threw me off. But once Pru’s true character got revealed, I was on board, and frankly, she’s probably the best YA character I think I ever read about. I’m glad the author quickly moved away from that typical cliché, and made Pru not only a relatable realistic character, but loveable and strong.

Overall this story is worth your time and energy. It’s complex, well written, well researched, compelling, original and it will get you right in the feels. So please take my super high recommendation and golden stamp of approval, that you will not be able to put this hidden gem down.

Happy Reading

Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd by Christy Nicholas – Review by Emily Walsh

Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd.Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd.
By: Christy Nicholas
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd by Christy Nicholas was a unique fun read that had me hooked from start to finish

Not my first read by this author, so I knew going in that I was in for something well written, original, entertaining, and fun. I was not disappointed in the least. This book pulls you in from the start, with that witty cold open, and the taste of what these time tourists are.

I think my favourite bit of this whole story is that the MC is an older mature woman, who gives no -anything- (keeping it PG here, but you get what I’m saying lol). I loved her within seconds, quick witted and just hard as nails, I want to be this woman’s friend. This story has many elements, different times and heavy with detail. You can tell care and research went into making this as much as journey through time, as well as keeping it an engaging story for the reader. There was so much that kept you reading and kept you guessing. I loved every minute of it, and with each new layer pulled back, and the deeper you got, you almost become apart of the story yourself.

Overall this book is worth your time, energy, and it’s worth talking about. So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval that, you will be captured by this tantalizing one of a kind read.

Happy Reading
