Denial (Hero High Book 1) by Mina Chara – Review by Erica Fish

Denial (Hero High Book 1)Denial by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story was fast moving full of action. It is in the genre of YA but do not let that sway you away from this book. It is full of people with special powers. It takes place in Icon City, a have for powered one-percenters. How could you go wrong? You are among people who have special abilities like you. There are some different people who seem to be annoying. Will she ( the main character) figure out what is going on? Can her and Jake(best friend) survive this new school? I recommend this story to find out this and other amazing details.

Black BladeBlack Blade by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is a great twist on the story of Excalibur. The story is a fast pace story. Once I started this book I could not put it down. The characters of the book are fully developed. I found that the characters are what makes this story of Excalibur fun. Lance, the main character, always knew that he was special. He could sense the greatness within himself. He has some rough times ahead. I recommend this story. It is the perfect break you need from the craziness of today.

Endless Night (Dylan Hart Book 2) by R.M. Gilmore – Review by Erica Fish

Endless Night (Dylan Hart #2)Endless Night by R.M. Gilmore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

R. M. Gilmore does it again. Endless Night, in my opinion, is even better than The Scene, book 1. By the way you need to read The Scene to fall in love with Dylan. She is a feisty character that you swear is your lost relative. Dylan is still dealing with vampires but this time she is heading to New Orleans. What other trouble do you think Dylan will be getting in trouble with? Her attitude and her head-strong has brought her through her life so far. Will those charms keep going? I highly recommend this book. I cannot wait for the next adventure.

Of Magic & Scales by Natalina Reis – Review by Erica Fish

Of Magic and ScalesOf Magic and Scales by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Natalina Reis has caught my attention with the title of this book, Of Magic and Scales. Her stories always have a thought and preparation to deliver the right amount of details to think you know what is coming ahead. Then BAM! It goes in a totally different direction. This story is no different. Aiden was a respected detective in DC and now he is just trying to take it easy. There is a magical community that is looking for him, not to mention there is a killer on the loose. There is one DNA that is at the murders and it is no other than Merman Naël Fouchard. Can Aiden and Naël team up and find the murderer? Will there be some romance between them? I highly recommend reading this book to see what happens.

A Gentleman's Stipulation (The Scarlet Salon, #4)A Gentleman’s Stipulation by Jean Wilde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a historical romance book. I have found that historical romance stories are intriguing. Jean Wilde grabbed me at the beginning with her characters. They are fully developed and I could see the characters in my mind’s eye. The plot line kept me wanting to know what else was going to happen. Being that this is historical romance, it takes a minute to think back how things may have been. Lady Gibert is looking for a husband.

I know every time I pick up a R.M. Gilmore books will be awesome. Her stories really make me think throughout the story. This story is no different. This plotline is a suspense paranormal genre.

P.A.W.S.P.A.W.S. by Debbie Manber Kupfer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book by Debbie Manber Kupfer. Her story is well planned out. Her characters are fully developed and yet a bit mysterious. I found myself wanting to know what was going to be happening next. This story is YA Fantasy but make no mistake, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I find that the YA genre authors have fresh ideas that keep me engaged until the last page and leave me wanting more. In this story Miri has received a silver cat charm from her Omama Celia. Little did Miri have any idea what secrets she is going to be learning. I highly recommend this story to see what Miri is going to be learning in the coming days.

Cade (Default Distraction #3) by A.S. Roberts – Review by Erica Fish

Cade (Default Distraction #3)Cade by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cade is the drummer of Default Distraction, and he is the son of a mafia boss. This complicates his life just a little bit. A.S. Roberts does an amazing job keeping this bad boy under control. Roberts’ characters all have their own little fire within themselves. That is what makes her stories attractive and keeps the reader want to keep reading to see what will be coming next. Winter is the younger sister of the lead guitarist and she doesn’t want anything to do with anyone. It is a good thing that Cade goes for what he wants and nothing gets in his way. I highly recommend this story as well as the first two books in this series. You will want to see what happens between Cade and Winter.

High Fae Academy - Year One: Fae Paranormal RomanceHigh Fae Academy – Year One: Fae Paranormal Romance by Kaylin Peyerk
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book by Kaylin Peyerk. I really like the YA Paranormal Romance genre. It is one of mystery and can really be good or sadly it can be bad. High Fae Academy is great. The character building is intriguing. I found the characters were complex and individually cemented in the story. Tiana, the main female character, is a powerful half-human/half fae. She can command all the elements and each one of the guys who are trying to court her command one element. This makes it tough trying to decide which one to be with. What is a girl supposed to do? Let us not forget to mention that there is a little prophecy about Tiana. I highly recommend this book. You will want to read it to see how Tiana does with all that is going on with her.

A Moore Affair is the fourth book in the Moore Family Saga by Michele Sims. I recommend reading the previous book to better understand the characters and their build up through the stories. Michele Sims does an amazing job building the characters and their story lines. In this book Miles is marrying Bella. Bella is wondering if she can handle marrying a music man. There are secrets that Miles has been hiding from Bella. Can their marriage survive the secrets? Will Bella be able to remain happy? What is in store for Miles and Bella?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a cute story by Effie Kammenou. Her plot line is great and she paints a picture with her descriptive details. Her characters are sound and complex. I feel like I am right there with Kally. It is funny to read about the character family members and how they are meddlers. Kally is a successful woman. Then Max comes into her bakery.

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Erica Fish

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1)Music Man by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

K.L. Montgomery always has the best plot lines and characters. I am never disappointed when I pick up her books. Her characters are complex and many layers go into their personas. They are so real and I personally feel like I am in the story with them.The plot line is one that could happen in everyday life. To be honest that is one reason why I love reading K.L. Montgomery’s books. Who can honestly say that they did not fall for a music man? Even if it was just a crush. Jack’s story is just that. He is a musician man but also a single dad. Claire is that girl. She just had a milestone birthday and has fallen for her “Music Man”. What will become of the relationship with Jack and Claire? I highly recommend you reading this story to find out.

Anne by Zarina Macha – Review by Erica Fish

AnneAnne by Zarina Macha

I will warn you if abuse of a child is a sensitive topic this book may be hard for you to read. Anne grew up in what appears to be a perfect home on the outside, but behind the door another tail is told. Anne is taken to her Aunt’s house but because she has been home schooled, school is tough. She is sent to a boarding school. This is when it becomes rough for Anne. In this story, Anne is a confused teenager. Zarina Macha does an amazing job with this difficult subject. Her plot line is engaging and I fell in love with the characters. I recommend this story and a box of kleenex.

Hail Mary by Hope Anika – Review by Erica Fish

Hail MaryHail Mary by Hope Anika
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me catch my breath. This book had me on the edge of my seat, standing up, yelling at the kindle and totally shocked at times. If you want a good read that gets your mind going this would be a good one. Hope Anika has created a story that gets your adrenaline going. The characters are complex and engaging. The plot line twists and turns like a roller coaster, not to mention that the action is great. There is a bank robbery that small town sheriff Beau has to catch the robbers. Enter in Wynn who has her past with law enforcement, on the wrong side but hey that makes her character work. Let’s throw in a murder into the mix and the small time is needing answers. I highly recommend this book. You will have to see what Beau and Wynn find out about what the heck is going on.

They are on the adventure with Fingin. This group goes through some twists and turns. Fingin is on an adventure to find his Grandmother. The problem is that his Grandmother may not exist in the world where he is looking for her. I will warn you that you may not put this book down once you start reading it.

Serenade by TK Lawyer – Review by Erica Fish

SerenadeSerenade by T.K. Lawyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

TK Lawyer has done it again. Serenade is a paranormal love story that keeps you wondering what will happen next. I find stories about wolves interesting because they look for their mate and will remain alone if they can not find him/her. This story is about Kingsley (a wolf) and Eva (a witch) who gave up finding their soulmate until they found each other. The problem is that wolves and witches do not mix well. Can Kingsley and Eva move beyond the barriers and have a relationship? Is there hope for Kingsley and Eva? I highly suggest this book and I cannot wait to see what TK Lawyer will come up with next.

Indebted to the VampiresIndebted to the Vampires by Erin R. Bedford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Erin Bedford is a new author to me. I love her writing style. It is full of details and characters that make the story come alive. The subject is about vampires. Piper works for a temp agency and is a maid. There is a secret among the people she works for and with, and she is trying to figure out how to keep her job. This book is not only a romance story, but a mystery as well. I recommend this story. Erin Bedford has made this story come to life in my mind while I was reading. There is a little bit of a cliffhanger but it keeps you on your toes and makes you want to read book 2 in the process.

The Explorer (Mountains, #6)The Explorer by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Have you ever felt like you needed to be a different person for whoever you are around? This is a question that I have answered many times in my personal life. Phoebe Alexander in The Explorer about these same feelings. Her character development is extensive and complex. I felt like I could be right there with Abigail. She feels that she needs to be someone different for others, but she doesn’t know how to be Abigail when alone. She is starting college and really trying to find her true self. Gavin is starting his journey. He is starting his journey to find himself. The plot is a simple story when you get down to it, but Abigail and Gavin sure makes the pages fly by. The innocence of Abigail and Gavin makes this an enjoyable read. I highly recommend this series to find out what happens to Abigail and Gavin.

This love story is about Roy and Patience. Roy is a NHL player and he had a stalker. Now he was not able to play because of them. There was PA Patience, who helped him with his PR.

I am hooked on A Gray Ghost Novel series by Amy McKinly. Her knowledge of military tactics is amazing. Her attention to detail keeps the story moving on. There are ups and downs, twists and turns, and even some loopsy loops. The characters are fully developed. There are many layers to the characters. This story is about Keegan and Kara. Keegan, a former Navy Seal, is hired to rescue Americans from Venezuela. He has history in Venezuela that he did not want his cover blown and not to mention a woman.

My Pretty (Mischief Matchmakers, #1)My Pretty by Madeline Fay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Madeline Fay is a new author to me and I actually decided to read the book by the cover. I am not that type of reader. I found that I needed this humor at this point. The characters are fun and interesting. The story mimics L. Frank Baum famous book series. I have a new interpretation of those great characters. The story has a humorous side from the Wicked Witch’s point of view. The adventure is waiting for you to take. The twists and turns keep the pages turning and you find some funny situations. It is a light hearted story that I love to read in these crazy times.

James Talisman hit another home run with this Journeys Through TimeSpace. I highly recommend reading book one so you have some back story and introduction to the characters. This is a Sci-Fi story but there is a lot more than that going on. There are many different layers to the story you are about to read. It is packed full of action and you find yourself turning the pages faster to see what is coming down the line at you. The characters are complex and engaging. I felt at home with them. I was on an adventure with them. I highly recommend this journey and hope you enjoy this story as much as I have.

DIE FOR ME by Diane Hester – Review by Erica Fish

Die For MeDie For Me by Diane Hester
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This psychological suspense book packs a punch. I love the psychological thriller genre. It gives me that deep thinking that makes my brain wanting more. Diane Hester is a new author to me but trust me when I said I am going to see what other books she has written. Her characters are complex, complicated, believable and mysterious. I read this book in one sitting but let me tell you that I left the light on while reading the book. This author kept me turning the pages faster and faster. I wanted to know what was going to happen next. What really makes this story excel for me is the realism. I can see this story come to life before my eyes. Lauren Donnelly on a winter morning was crossing a stream that was not frozen. That is when a man tried to assist her and fell through the ice. Lauren is trying to reach out to Ada Phelps, the daughter of the man who drowned, but things are not always what they seem. I highly recommend this book as it will give you the heebie-jebbies, what a great psychological suspense book will do in my humble opinion.

Blood Rebellion (Supernatural Intelligence Agency Book 1) by Nadine Travers – Review by Erica Fish

Blood Rebellion (Supernatural Intelligence Agency: World #1)Blood Rebellion by Nadine Travers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first book by this author, and I have to admit it was a hit. When it comes to vampires, I have to admit that subject is getting a lot of attention. Sometimes the story is good and holds my interest (like this one did) and then there are others that if read one you have read them all. Nadine Travers attention to detail is amazing. Her characters are fully developed and full of zest. The plotline was engaging and full of action. Casey is a daywalker, who just so happens to be on a mission to bring back Damaris to the Vampire Internal Affairs Headquarters. There is so much more to this story and I do not want to give too much away. I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to read more by this author.

Prophecy Girl (Camille Bishop Book 1) by Ravin Tija Maurice – Review by Erica Fish

Prophecy Girl (Camille Bishop Book 1)Prophecy Girl by Ravin Tija Maurice
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Prophecy Girl is my first book by Ravin Tija Maurice. I was not sure what I would find inside the covers of this book. I was not disappointed. Ravin Tija Maurice built up the characters to be fully developed, believable, and made me feel like I have known them for many years. The plot line was engaging and I found myself turning the pages rather quickly. This story is about Camille Bishop and her first PI case by herself. When Jane Lowry walked through the door, Camille thought it was going to be an easy paternity case but that quickly changed as Camile started digging into the file. There is so much more to Jane Lowry’s case that left Camille’s head spin around. Will Camille be able to produce the information Jane is asking for? What other things will Camille find? I highly recommend you read this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sit down and get ready for a thriller!!!!

Meghan O’Flynn did it again. She is one of my favorite authors. Her stories are always intense and mind blowing. Her character development and plot lines are out of this world. The words fly off the page. I would pay close attention to the smallest details because you may miss an important clue. This story took me on a wild roller coaster ride. Every time I thought I knew what was going on, here comes a curveball. Detective Petrocky is with us again. This time Little Greggie who was taken and reappeared to his parents, had hung himself. There was no evidence that it was a suicide. Detective Petrocky is investigating Little Greggie’s suicide there was others who were taken and reappeared only to comitt suicide. Can Detective Petrocky find out what is going on? Will there be more children taken and alive? Will there be a higher body count that Detetive Petrocky cannot stop from happening? I highly recommend this book. If you like thrillers this book is for you.

2am Secrets by M. Piper – Review by Erica Fish

2am Secrets2am Secrets by M. Piper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

M. Piper is a new author to me and I jumped into the book without blinders on. There comes a point in people’s lives that no one wants to admit. There is an attraction to your sibling’s best friend. You try to ignore it because you do not want to hurt their relationship, but on the inside you want that person. That is the kind of love 2AM Secrets is about. Sadie and Sam are twins and they promised each other no relationships with the other’s friends. They were off limits. That was until Sadie started to have feelings for Archer (who happens to be Sam’s best friend).Both tried to stay away from each other, but the attraction was strong. Will Sadie and Archer give in to the attraction? Will they be able to keep the secret from Sam? You will have to read this story to find out this information and more.
