MovesMoves
By: John Michaels
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moves by John Michaels was a heart pounding thriller that had me hooked, hard!

Wow, like, wow, I’m still trying to process everything that went on on this crazy good read. So much, like, as I was trying to piece everything together I kept thinking I was missing something, like a word you forgot, or a lost memory that just keeps slipping away from you. I love books like that, books that keep you guessing, on the edge of your seat, and just captures you fully, to the point were it’s 3 in the morning and you’re deciding if you’re going to call in sick to finish the book, or force yourself to stop and try and get your mind to rest. That my friends is this book.

It’s been awhile since I got this obsessed with a thriller, and as mush as I was happy for it to end, I’m sad that I had to leave that wonderful crazy dangerous world, that John Michaels has created. But all good things must end, so yes I will be checking out this authors other works.

So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that this book is grip will you, break you, and have you second guessing everything.

Happy Reading

Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms (Gumshoe Mysteries Book 1)Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms
By: Laura Hawks
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms (Gumshoe Mysteries Book 1) by Laura Hawks was an intriguing original read, that kept me flipping the pages.

The first book in what I believe is going to be a crazily outstanding series, we are taken on a mysterious adventure with a talking cat and a teen who learns that her life and what she believe isn’t all that true. As YA is my guilty pleasure, when I seen this quirky read pop up I had to grab it, and man oh man, I’m so happy I did.

Fresh, gripping and pulling, this book dug its claws in right away. I didn’t really know what I was getting into, but in a few short seconds, I knew I made the right choice. For a 15 year old, Mia is something else. Normally I have loads of problems with YA MC’s, but not with Mia. She’s strong, resilient, and sets a clear gold of what needs to be done. Gumshoe, he’s the perfect match, and I want a talking sassy cat. That cat really brought this story together in that unique way, and Mia, with her awesomeness, push this story forward into something amazing.

On a whole this book is worth your time, energy, and it gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

By: Elizabeth Seckman
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hoosier Dad by Elizabeth Seckman was a fun, light hearted, witty read that had me hooked from that first opening sentence.

My first read by this author I didn’t know what I was getting into, and lets just say, I liked it, I liked it a lot. This book was, as I said, super fun, witty, interesting, mysterious, steamy, weirdly outrageous, and just, full of though good feels that have you going, why isn’t this a movie?!. I have such a fun time with both MC’s, told in dual POV we get both of their sides of the story, and I loved how both were on completely different pages. It made room for growth, second chances, and change. Also made for some pretty fun lol moments.

I have to say, I wasn’t expecting to like this book as much as I did, as the synopsis had me thinking it would be pretty mediocre. But this author proved me wrong and truly delivered a wonderful, smart, fresh read that not only flowed, it had heart, passion and you could feel the emotions oozing off the pages. It was like I was watching a real life drama unfold, and it was glorious.

So to end on that high note, I’m going to leave you with my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

The Good NeighborsThe Good Neighbors
By: Kiersten Modglin
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Good Neighbors by Kiersten Modglin was a gripping psychological thriller, that had me hooked from start to finish.

Have you ever sat at the end of a book and just went, what the hell… what the hell? That was me, full on, not really comprehending how the author led me by the nose. This book was even told in dual POV and still managed to mislead you and catch you off guard. Again, what the hell?… (These are good, what the hells, BTW)

At first this book read like you’re normal romance, opens pretty clean, meet the creepy neighbours and what not. But then things got crazy, I mean, there is one scene were I’m like, that just happened, that really just happened. I felt for Harper, and it really shows you how things can get out of hand in an instance. It also shows the difference in loyalties, temptation and how when two people are presented with the same situation, that there are two totally different outcomes. Pretty freaking amazing if you ask me.

I can go one and on, but even if i get into character pros and cons, I might spoil something, as everything is so intertwine that one small thing might ruin the magic of this mine twisting thriller. Cause when you get to that plot twist/bomb, you’re not going to see it coming, and you’re going to be sitting there going, what the hell!?

So overall, yes, I loved this book, and yes I am going to be checking out more books by this crazy author, and yes, this book gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Hidden Magic: A Sanctuary Chronicles Novella by India Kells – Review by Emily Walsh

Hidden Magic: A Sanctuary Chronicles NovellaHidden Magic: A Sanctuary Chronicles Novella
By: India Kells
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hidden Magic: A Sanctuary Chronicles Novella by India Kells was a fast past, engaging read, that had me hooked.

This quick short read is packed full of action, romance, emotions, growth and of course, magic. It hooked me right away, and I dove right into this little wonder. As this is a side story to the main series, it can be read as a standalone. So don’t worry about spoilers or feeling lost. As someone who follows this series, it brought me new characters to grow and love, and old ones I have missed. It was a good combo and made me remember why I love this series so much.

Overall this story is fresh, original, and rich with clean creative detail, that just gets your mine racing. I loved the romance aspect, as well as the personal growth both MC’s go through. Again though, our male MC, was a little to over protective for me, and it’s something I have picked up on in this series, but in regards to the others, Brant isn’t as bad. Kat is a fun, strong character that you can’t help but fall for. You get swept up in her magic, and as much as you want to help you can’t. There are some good feels kickers in here, so be warned.

On that note, as this is a short read, and not to risk spoilers, I’m going to leave you with my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Smoke & Mirrors (Nite Fire #3)Smoke & Mirrors
By: C.L. Schneider
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Smoke & Mirrors (Nite Fire #3) by C.L. Schneider was a fast pace, action filled, suspenseful read, that had me hooked.

The third book in the Nite Fire series and it kicks off right away setting the stage, tone, and the deadly mystery. I got sucked in right away and I did not want to stop reading this book. It has everything I love about otherworldly magic, urban fantasy, and shifter fantasy all rolled into one hell of a good read. It’s like the crossover between world I’ve been dreaming about, but could never fine. The MC is my dream, smart, witty, strong, emotional and oddly relatable. The detail is on point, drawing, and really shuts off the outside world, to where you think you’re watching a movie.

Overall this book, this series is a much read and it deserves all the hype, the promotions and your time and energy. So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that you will not be able to put this outstanding book down.

Happy Reading

An Unexpected Sequel (Paranormal Talent Agency Book 4)An Unexpected Sequel
By: Heather Silvio
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Unexpected Sequel (Paranormal Talent Agency #4) by Heather Silvio was a fast pace, fun, quirky ride, that had me hooked from start to finish.

The fourth book in this wonderful series, we finally get to see the whole deal with Robin, who was first introduced in the first book. This was a great highlight, and it really changes your mind of her, and the shirt story she’s had to endure. It also brings to light what Barbara really is, how evil, and what her dark plans have bene all along. In saying all this, I highly suggest reading this series in order, as something big happens in the last book, that not only sets the stage for this one, it sets the stage for what nasty Barbara has planned.

Overall this book was the perfect addition. We get old and new characters, and love how this one ties in well with the first book, almost like full circle, but not quite. I’m hoping for more books, because I am addicted to these short but powerful reads. Well written, detailed, and super enjoyable, theres nothing I don’t like about this book, or this series.

So to end, as to not slip up and spoil anything, I’ll leave you with my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Saint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil SeriesSaint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil Series
By: Megan Mackie
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Saint Code: Lost (The Lucky Devil 4) by Megan Mackie was fast pace, thrilling and just, wow.

This wonder was another perfect addition to this ever growing multi level, story/magical world. Though it says book 4, it’s more like a prequel, as it does take place before the start of the main series. So in saying that, if you haven’t read the first two books with the main plot, and characters, then you will have no worries about spoilers from this one.

So, where do I start, this little wonder sure was a kicker, coming in at a short 140 pages, this fast read packs a powerful punch. The detail was on point, the tone and flow was smooths and gets this wonder moving, and our MC, St. Augustina was a joy to read about and get to know. I may have a girl crush on her. She’s powerful, takes no BS and just, an outstandingly well written character, you can’t go wrong with an MC like that. And if the MC didn’t keep you reading, then the compelling plot, drama and action will.

Overall this book is a spoil 5 star read, and it gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Behind Blue EyesBehind Blue Eyes
By: C.S. Duffy
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Behind Blue Eyes (Stockholm Murders Book 1) by CS Duffy was a heart clutching thriller, that had me hooked.

My first read by this author, and I went in hot. Man oh man, this book had me in knots, my nerves were shot, and it really gave me that punch gut ending I was hoping for. This book was full of twist, turns, ups, downs, and it has you second guessing everyone. I love books like this, no one likes to figure things out from the start. I love the MC, she was smart, witty and read well. I felt like she could have been a real person, who ran out of luck. I love how she brought her background in, and for me, she stole the show. The real kicker for me was the dark humour, it’s a weakness of mine, and for me, rounded out the crazy, and gave me some good chuckles before the madness started again. The detail of this read was on point, fresh, and pulled you into the setting. As well as, the characters were well rounded and believable.

Overall this book was top shelf, it pulls you in, captures you, and when things start to get hot you can’t put this book down until you know what’s going on, and the multi level mystery is solved. And this is where I leave you, in fear I will spoil this gem for you, so to end, this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

A High Price to Pay (Madeline Dawkins, #2)A High Price to Pay
By: Cynthia Hamilton
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

A High Price to Pay (Madeline Dawkins #2) by Cynthia Hamilton was a thrilling, fast pace, exciting read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

The second book in this top shelf series, we are in the hot seat with Madeline as she’s told that the man, that hunts her dreams has been cut a deal and is out on the streets again. In saying this, this series follows a continuous timeline and plot, so I highly suggest reading the first book, as you won’t get get full effect of Madeline fear, and turmoil without it.

Like the first book the tones are heavy from the start, telling you this isn’t going to be a light and fluffy read. As things get heated up, and bodies start rolling in, Madeline once again, has to use her wit, smarts and steel resolve to make it out alive. The book really highlighted her growth as a character, and seeing the progress she has made from that first book was excellent.

I will say that there were some, situations, that pulled me out of this story. There was some over-explaining in parts, and, what got me the most was the, going into too much detail about the murders. That made for weird lulls, and broken continuity. But other than that, this was a pretty solid read. The mystery was compelling, the emotions high, and the plot line itself was smooth.

So overall this book gets my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

The Last DanceThe Last Dance
By: Lonna Enox
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Last Dance by Lonna Enox was a fun, compelling mystery that was both chilling, entertaining, and had a sweet romance that hooks you from the start.

My first read from this author I went in with an open mine, and as someone who has read a lot of these type of books, I have to say, I’m impressed, shook, and just, really content with the whole story. Out of the gate we are drawn into the murder, mystery, and the setting. That stage setting was quick, chilling and perfect. It was the right length, detail and spook, to get the blood going and the mind racing. As the story moved onto the MC and main plot, things soon get dicy, hot and more murdery. The flow was, great, the tone matched the madness, and I love the romance that added to this story rather then take away. It reminded me a bit of Linda Howard, who is a fav author of mine. So to say I liked this book is an understatement, I loved it, and I will be checking out more from this author.

So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get sucked into this thrilling mystery, that will have you twisted around and unable to conclude what’s truly going on, untill the very end.

Happy Reading

By L.D. Rose
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vermilion Lies (The Order of the Senary Series Book 3) by L.D. Rose was an engaging, exciting read, that had me hooked!

The latest book in this amazing series, I have to start with, I love the new covers. Wow, this cover was such a draw, that if I didn’t read the first two books, it would have been like a fly to honey. That a side, this book was fast pace, action packed and it hit the ground running. Like the other book, this one was full of solid characters, compelling plots lines, that were both complex and multi layered. I love Dax, he’s hot, strong, badass and just wow, I want a Dax, like I would fight Cindel for him. Mind you I’d probably lose, but hell, I would have given it my dirtiest try.

In all seriousness, I love them as the MC’s, and as love interests. They fit well, it felt natural, and I love the progression. It didn’t felt force, nor did it over-power the story line. It has a natural feel, and it added to this already pulling story.

Man, I can go one about this book, this series, but I don’t want to ruin anything, so I’m going to leave you with my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that you need this book/series in your life.

Obsessed: Lila Casey Book 1 (Lila Casey Series)Obsessed: Lila Casey Book 1
By: J. Collins
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Obsessed (Lila Casey Series Book 1) by J Collins was a pretty okay read that had me smiling, annoyed and just got me in all the good fun feels.

This book was such a joy to read that I had it pretty much read in one sitting. As I said it’s fun, light hearted, and has some pretty good chuckle moments. I’ve read my fair share of vampire books, and I always love it when there’s a new spin on the lore. This author did a great job of making this read fresh and enjoyable. The romance was quick, but not overpowering, it flowed nice and once the other vampires started showing up, the story found solid footing and took off.

I will say that our MC Lila was a little hard for me to like at the start. She seemed a little immature for her age, and it was annoying. She did get better as the story when on, but if it wasn’t for Adam (our sexy vamp) then I don’t think I would have liked her at all, and might even have not wanted to finish the book. Other elements like detail and the overall storytelling was a major draw for me, and helped with the unlikeable MC. But as I have said she does get better as the story goes on, I just wish she wasn’t so, eyerolly at the start.

Overall this story is fantastically good, it’s has that quirky feel that just keeps you engaged and turning the pages. I’m definitely going to be following this series, as I believe that it’s going to be something epic. So yes, this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

By: Seelie Kay
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cult (Feisty Lawyers Book 3) by Seelie Kay was an actioned packed thrill ride that had me hooked from start to finish.

Book three in this heart pounding series, we are again taken on a dangerous action filled, mysterious adventure. Picking up where the last book left off, it isn’t long before the plot gets under way, and we get to meet some new characters. I will say that these books follow a continuous timeline, and have a connecting multilayer plot line, so I highly suggest reading the first two books, as it will help with this one, not only that, you won’t get the full effect of these characters and the danger.

Man I love this series and each book just keeps getting better and better. This book also kind of brings it back to the first book, so again that’s why it’s important to read that first book. I love the storyline for this third instalment, the attention to detail, the tone shits, the banter and of course the way the characters connect and grow.

I have nothing bad to say, only that you need this series in your life, so please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will be on the edge of your seat, and flipping the pages just to know if the outcome will be grim.

By: R. O’Leary
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Furbidden Attraction: A Cursed Romance by R. O’Leary was a pretty okay read that was full of action, romance, and suspense.

My first read from this author and for this series, I was drawn in by the synopsis and that sexy cover. I love the play on words for the title, it made me chuckle and solidified my choice to grab this read.

Now, I do have some mixed feels about this book. The opening is drawing, dark, and it pulls you in right away. I was flipping the pages, just sucked into this book. Meeting Louisa, was a treat, she’s fierce, sassy, and just my kind of woman. I loved her and Jack’s chemistry, how they play off one another, the banter, and it brought life to the read and helped off set that darkness that was lurking around. Now for the mixed feels, as the supernatural elements got more involved, the detail tapered off, and characters kept popping up, and the plot got a little, messy. I had to reread some parts, but once I got everyone straighten, things got clear. I think another edit will help there, and made be even take somethings out. I feel like the author got flooded of ides, and tried to get it all down at once.

Overall this read was intreating, and I very much enjoyed the romance side of it. The MC’s were strong, and helped carried this story when things got hectic. So please take my high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will fall for these MC’s, and get caught in their crazy adventure.

By: Acacia K. Parker
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Embers We Seek (A Rebel Princess Serial, #1) by Acacia K. Parker was a gripping read that had me hooked from start to finish.

My first read from this author I was drawn to this book by its beautiful cover, fairy tale retelling status, and the raving reviews. I was not disappointed in the least, this book delivered what it entailed, and I had this short powerful book read in one sitting.

Coming in at a whopping 58 pages, this book maybe low on the word count, but it is powerful. To the point, no fluff, no filler this book has everything you want and more in an epic fairy tale retelling. There is one point where I’m so engrossed that I forgot that this book is full length, the battler is under way, and the hellhounds are burning the place down, and our MC Wren learns is a heart breaking way that magic comes with a price. I loved that bittersweet ending, and the promise of more to come.

Overall this book is a must read, and it will be told it 10 parts, and according to the author a new serial will be released the last full week of every month, the next one coming on June 27th. I’m definitely going to be keeping a look out for the next instalment, because I believe this series if going to be something special.

So with all that said, please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will love this epic dark fairy tale retelling, and you will not be able to look at Cinderella the same way again.

Beachcomber EnemyBeachcomber Enemy
By: Stephanie Queen
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beachcomber Enemy by Stephanie Queen was an action packed, fast pace thriller that had me hooked form start to finish.

The latest instalment in the Beachcomber Investigations series, it was a blast right out of the gate. This book hit the ground running and it kept my attention right until the last page was flipped. I like these types of opening, that get your blood flowing, and the plot going right away. It makes for an exciting read, and on that keeps you, as I said, flipping the pages.

Dane and Shana are in danger, and that danger comes from Shana’s past. I loved the flip script, as at first it presented like it would be about Dane. The only thing I didn’t like was how over protective Dane was, I mean, I get it, your loved one is in danger, but man, that was a bit too much, and it almost risked their relationship. I mean Shana is a kickass woman, skilled and strong. There was a disconnect there, and it did take away from the story.

Overall this book was a wicket read, with a solid complex plot, mystery, action and movie worthy choreography, I’m looking forward to more books from this series. So to end, this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

By: Kimberly Forrest
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dinner with The Wolf (Misfits & Rogues Series Book 2) by Kimberly Forrest was a steamy, interesting read that had me hooked!

My first read from this author and in this series, I didn’t know what I was getting into. In saying that, I didn’t know it was part of a series at first, but the moment I read the first page I knew I missed something. Though this book did read like a standalone, there are elements that pertains to the first book, that I now need to go back and read. But overall, as the MC’s were the main focus, I didn’t feel too lost or felt like I was left out of the loop.

As for this steamy read, the author does a good job of making you not like our female MC, Vivian. I was having hard, wish she would trip and break her neck, vibes. But as the story went on, and I got to seen under her mask of vapidness, I grew to like her and really started rooting for her and Jules. Jules, he has everything you want in an alpha crazy werewolf, but it wasn’t the unlikeable kind of alpha. The protectiveness was there, but it wasn’t off putting or demanding. I love the progress of their love, and didn’t mine the quick escalation, as they have known one another for decades. This was way over due for them, and once they finally got all the misunderstandings out of the way, things got heated, in a good way.

Overall this book is a must read from me, cause I’ll tell you, I had this book read in one sitting. And as much as I love the fun conclusion, I need more from this world, as I believe the author has something epic planned. So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that you will get hooked on this hot, love affair, with a touch of sexy madness.

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jake the Growling Dog (Jake the Growling Dog Book 1) by Samantha Shannon was a cute, heart warming read, that’s perfect for all ages.

My first read from this author, and going way out of my comfort zone, I was scouting books for my niece when I came across this one. I took a chance and decided to give it a read before I sent it off. This sweet read has such a wonderful lesson about judgement, friendship, working together, and looking beyond what we see. It hits a little home, as I can relate to Jake. I have a strong blunt personality, and people don’t always take to that. This book shows the progression and the way one outstretched hand can change everything. Oh and I have to touch on the illustrations, they are beautifully drawn, and flowed nicely into one another. So bright and inviting, with clean line work, it’s a delight for the eyes.

Overall this book is perfect a read for anyone, and everyone. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that this book will warm your heart, and have you looking out for Jake’s in the future.

Secure Again: A Chase Group Story by R. L. Dunn was a fast pace, action packed read that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read from this author or in this series, so I was excited to get my hands on this read. Wow, this book hit the ground running, and like the other book in this series it was complex, action packed and super entertaining. I love all the characters, but the MC’s stole the show for me. Elizabeth, strong, sexy, smart. and kickass, she was a powerhouse with a heart of gold. That heart is what gets her into hot water, that could cause her life. Martin was great, not to alphsish, strong, sassy and just a joy to read about. I loved their interactions and the way their second chance romance got under way, even if it was due to unsavory circumstances. The plot was complex, solid and it gets your blood going, and the nerves on high alert. This book has a little bit of everything and it’s a hard must read form me.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Spouse Trap (Madeline Dawkins #1) by Cynthia Hamilton was an engaging, thrilling read that gets the brain working and the blood flowing.

My first read by this author I went in with an open mind and just fell into this story. I was a little skeptical at first, because I have read stories like this before, but my worries were soon squished the second I started reading this gem. It was a different kind of mystery, and it had those crime drama feels that just pulls you in. I loved how the author sets you up, weaving the puzzles pieces, and making you wonder who is right, wrong, and who is playing who. I was hooked hard, and the strong MC ties all the elements together making an already strong plot, concrete. There are somethings that I’m a little hung up on, but I think that it was meant to be that way, so we’ll keep coming back for more.

Overall this book is a must read and it gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading.

Not my first read from this author, so I knew going in that I was in for something good. I was not disappointed in the least.This collection got better with each book, and the growth, feels and characters just added to the layers of goodness that just oozes out of the pages. Detail was rich, the plot flowed and the feels were real. I felt like I was apart of the story, and as sad as I was for it all to end, I felt satisfied with the overall conclusion and the way this series was finished. I have to say for a three book collections, the reading was so easy that it was a pretty quick read. You just get sucked into this world, the complexity of the situations and storyline, trap you to the point that you forget you’re reading, and just, be, in the moments.

Overall this collection is worth your time and energy. It has everything you ever wanted in a feel invoicing adult romance. Keep tissues handy, cause there-are some moments that spark the tear ducks. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get lost in this beautifully crafted read.

Happy Reading

Too Hot to Handle (The Catch, Book 3)Too Hot to Handle
By: Avery Scott
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Too Hot to Handle (The Catch, Book 3) by Avery Scott was a fun, hot, entertaining read, that had me hooked!

My first read from this author and in this series, I didn’t know what I was getting into. But with it’s enticing cover and raving reviews, I took a chance, and I’m glad I did.

This book was hooking from the start, I love Tony’s voice and his witty sarcastic ways. Gigi, she’s something, and such a wonderful character to read about. Both played off one another perfectly and entertainingly. The overall story reads like a block busting rom-comm, and the detail and steady flow just added to the wonderfullness of this crazy good story. I love how the author took something overused and made it into something new and shiny. These type of books are predictable, so I always love it when authors can take those concepts and make them fresh, and marvelous like a new toy. That my friends is true talent, and love for the craft.

Overall this book is a must read, and if the other book in this series are just as outstanding as this one, I’m going to be binge reading real soon. To end this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

By: Aviva Vaughn
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

BECKONED, Part 6: Adrift in New Zealand by Aviva Vaughn was an outstanding finish, and as sad as I am to see this series go, it was a near perfect conclusion to this wonderful series.

The last book, and as I said conclusion, we almost see like a full circle to Soren, it was something to read, and I had a very good time reading this book. Full of throwbacks, feels, and detailed smooth writing this book has it all, and frankly I feel very satisfied. I love the picturesque detail, that the author brings to this book, really makes you feel like your there watching the story on fold. Transitions were clean, the story had a nice pace, and you feel everything. Soren, what a character, I have so many feels for him, his growth, his personality, I’m sad to see him go, but I’m happy for this overall ending.

Overall this book, this series, is a must read and it gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Fierce EmotionsFierce Emotions
By: Linda Burson
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fierce Emotions (Marcy Series Book 8) by Linda Burson was an engaging, feels invoking read, that had me hooked.

The 8th book in this crazy amazing series, we follow our strong MC Marcy, as she settles into life with her men, child and baby to be. Their family dynamic is something else, but as much as you think you’d be bothered with it, you’re not, and that’s part of the magic of this series. Well written characters, strong plots and high strung mysteries, keeps the flow going and the blood pressure high. Now I will say that this series follows a continuous time line, and interconnecting multi layered plots, so I highly suggest reading these books in order, or you won’t get the full effect of Marcy, Liam, Brad, and their complex relationships.

Overall this book was on par with the rest, and I believe for me the best so far, but I think I say that about them all. So you can take that as, this series just keeps getting better, and better, and the writing never wavers. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will fall hard for this truly one of a kind read.

Happy Reading

Edge of the Storm: Book 2 (Silent Secrets)Edge of the Storm: Book 2
By: Lisette Kristensen
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Edge of the Storm (Silent Secrets Book 2) by Lisette Kristensen was an action packed thrill ride that had me gripped from start to finish. This was a taste of what I believe is going to be an awesome series.

Right out of the gate we’re shown what these agents can do. Deadly, there’s no other word needed to describe these ladies, deadly covers it all. Blackbird, is firece, I don’t think I would have held up like she did. I want to read more about this character. She doesn’t have much back story, but that added to her mystic, so reading the first book is a must, if you want to know more about this fierce deadly character.

This is a short read coming in at at about75 pages, making an already quick read, mixed in with the fast moving plot and action, over in a blink. I was left wanting more! The ending is a bit open, so I’m hoping that means there’s going to be more to this world. Going back to the plot, it was pretty solid, there were a few shaky spots, but I believe that has to do with the short length. A bit more time on the key plot twist would have made the story that much more epic. I believe this short read would make a thrilling exciting full length novel.

I highly recommend you pick up this fast pace, action packed, thriller. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that this book will keep you on edge, keep that blood up and, make you second guest any new character that seem to be… unimportant.

Happy reading.

Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Emily Walsh

Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 1)Wrath
By: Gwyn McNamee
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee was a dark romance that will have you on the edge of your seat.

The first book in what I believe will be something amazing. This quick read gets your blood going right away, with a quick fire, dark prologue, before getting right into the smutty hotness of the MC’s. The stage was set beautifully, and when it was time for the real plot and bloody like action to get underway, It. Was. Glorious.

This book had a “Man of Fire” feel, with a bit of the “Equalizer”. I was hooked, hard. This novella read liked a full length book, and man oh man, I didn’t want the ride to end. Speaking of endings, I don’t know if I’m okay with it, cause, wow, I loved it, I’m a little mad at the author for it, but wow it was good.

Overall this book is a must read and a super high recommendation from me. So please take my golden stamp of approval that, you will love to hate, to be obsessed with this book.

Happy Reading

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 2)After Wrath
By: Gwyn McNamee
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee was a dark, twisted read, that weirdly had me hooked.

Taking place in the aftermath of the first book, we’re once again taken on a war path of crime, rage and powerful dark love. I was captivating right away, just like the first book, the dark tones, the lust, the powerful characters are something to behold, and something that will hook you in seconds. I’ve never been one to read mob type books, but this fast, exciting read, was different. As they are around 100 pages, the story moves fast, there’s no fluff, no distractions to take away from the plot, but it doesn’t skip on the detail or character growth. These books pck a powerful punch, and managed to get under your skin and ignite the feels.

Overall this book is a must read, and I highly suggest reading the first book, as you won’t get the full effect of this one without it. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will not be able to book this book or this series, down.

Happy Reading

The Immigrant. An Italian in AmericaThe Immigrant. An Italian in America
By: Gaia B. Amman
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Immigrant: An Italian in America (The Italian Saga Book 7) by Gaia B Amman was an exciting, original, engaging read that had me hooked form start to finish.

Not my first read from this author on n this series, so when this book came out, I snatched it up in a heartbeat! Detailed and pulling, this book has all the charm of the others in this series. Right away I fall back into the love I have for the MC, the quirkiness, the sass, the bluntness, and just the way the MC present herself, is outstandingly amazing. I love the look into what it was like to move to another county, and another culture, and see it through the MC’s eyes, and what she went through. It in itself was an eye opener, and I got to really see how strong she was. The ups, downs, the new connections and the job, I couldn’t get enough of this book. If you haven’t read the other books, no worries, there is enough in here, in regards to background that you won’t feel too lost, and as there is a new setting, and side characters, you don’t feel like you’re missing much. But I do I do suggest reading the other books, as they are amazing and just as intriguing.

Overall this book is truly a one of a kind read, that gets my super high recommendation, and my stamp of approval.

Happy reading

Rage (The Marcy series Book 1)Rage
By: Linda Burson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rage (The Marcy Series #1) by Linda Burson was an exciting heart pounding read that had me hooked from start to finish.

The first book in this crazy, outstanding series (I’ve been reading them a little out of order), and I’m so happy to have finally gotten to read the book where it all started. Detailed, and full of twist, turns, misdirects, this book was sometime to behold. I very much had a time reading this book, and I’m mad at myself for not reading it sooner. To backtrack and to witness were Marcy started, was wow, it was a real wow moment for me. This book is a must read for everyone that’s looking for an original fresh read that will teas your mind, and have you going, What just happened?

This book, this series, gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading
