Misfortune of Song by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Misfortune of Song is the fifth book in the Druid’s Brooch Series by Christy Nicholas. This story can be a stand-alone book, but in my humble opinion I would read the other books as well. This book has all kinds of mystical properties. Misfortune of Song is one that brings a grandfather, Maelan to make an important choice for Orlargh. It this struggle that makes this story so good. Orlagh does not like make black or white decisions and tends to live in the gray area. There is a real struggle for Maelan because he wants to save her from some heart aches. Will Orlagh take her grandfather advise or will she take the other road?

Yearning Young (Burning Britely Book 2) by Deidre Huesmann – Review by Erica Fish

March 15, 2019/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Erica Fish

Yearning Young by Deidre Huesmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yearning Young by Deidre Huesmann is a beautifully written young adult story about life and what it means to be different. This is the second book in the Burning Britely series. The emotions I had reading this story were very real and my heart hurt for Braeden. The story is from Braeden’s point of view and he is dealing with all the hormones of being a teenager and being “different” from others. One thing I love about Braeden is no matter what life throws at him, he always sees the good in the moment. This story is about friendship, loyalty, strength, weakness, and pain. It is one that I recommend all teenagers read that maybe one day they will understand the pain and suffering of other people’s actions.

The Chosen by Cari Schaeffer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Chosen: Book One: The Orb Quest Series by Cari Shaeffer is a interesting YA story. There is action, mystery, fantasy, danger, and did I say leaving teenagers to learn the truths of the destiny of others? It is a story of friendships and being able to trust one another on this magical adventure. The storyline took me on a roller coaster ride but it was well worth the ride. Would you be willing to let teenagers learn about the truth behind the orbs?

Happily. Ever After?: An Italian Relationship. by Gaia B Amman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gaia Amman wrote The Italian Saga books and Happily. Ever After? Is the sixth book and it can be a stand-alone book. Gaia Amman writes about a relationship where two opposites attract one another. This book has funny, serious, life lessons, and tough relationships. I know I was on a roller coaster ride full of emotions. I can relate to Leda and I really went through this story thinking yep that happened to me too. Sergio is the opposite of Leda. He is more fun loving flying with the seat of his pants type of guy. When Sergio and Leda get together there is a whole lot of fun and seriousness at stake. I hope you see the humorous as well as the serious sides of Leda and Sergio and fall in love with them as much as I have.

The Protector: Mac is the first book in the Cover Six Security series by Lisa B. Kamps. This book is face pace no nonsense book. Ms. Kamps does an amazing job that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Age of Saints by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch series by Christy Nicholas is an great fast read. The action is non stop and the story is one of family. I love reading Christy Nicholas books because I know that I am going get to an adventure of a lifetime with in the book. In the same breath, Christy Nicholas usually has some type of bite to the story. In this story, Conall had promise to take care of his sister Lainn to his dying father. Conall had issues keeping that promise. Between the abusive step-father, a powerful Faerie Queen, and a maddened Fae Lord, Conall was having a hard time making the decisions to Lainn. The story is a roller coaster ride of action and emotions. Will Conall be able to take care of Lainn or will the others make sure he will not be able to fulfill his promise to his father?

Dancing Queen by Charlotte Roth – Review by Erica Fish

Dancing Queen by Charlotte Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Charlotte Roth did it again. She wrote Dancing Queen which is a fast steady read with all kinds of humor, sass, and love all wrapped in one. One thing about Charlotte Roth is when I am feeling down I just pick up a book by Charlotte Roth and I find myself in a better mood instantly. This story will keep you giggling all the way through. Fiona is a “fat girl” that was told she could not dance because of it. Her work urges her to join a support group for her weight issues. There she meets Stu. Stu and Fiona become friends. Stu brings this wacky idea to Fiona that they should compete in a local dancing with the stars. That is when the story takes off and let the comedy, friendship, and love dance right in. I will be recommending this book to anyone that needs that release from the tortures of the world around them to join Stu and Fiona in their world of friendship.

–Tales of the Dragonfly Book III: Extended Flight by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tales of the Dragonfly Book III: Extended Flight is apart of Tales of the Dragonfly series by Tamara Ferguson. Being that this is the third book, it is a stand-alone book. Tamara Ferguson is an awesome story teller. When I read her books, I feel that she engages me as a reader. She wants you to love her characters and to take the journey as she has laid out for them. This story is about wounded warrior named Aaron and his sister who is missing. The story takes place in New York City. There is a bit of suspense with Kiley who has abilities she is hesitant to tell others about. There are two mysteries happening in the story and both are equally engaging. I will leave that for you to ponder while you are reading Extended Flight

Lost in Love: Miss Apple Pants by Charlotte Roth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Miss Apple Pants (aka Ella) is back at it in Lost in Love. This story is a quick read because it is taken at face value, nothing really to think like a mystery. There are emotional parts to the story. Ella is loving life with her parents and baby. On the other hand, she is trying to figure out what her heart really wants. Ella will have more and more life lessons. Ella’s character is one that you can become book friends with. I found myself yelling at the computer because I did not agree with her choices. Does she want to go after her former love or should she move on?

WTF, God? Was written by Michelle N. Onuorah. When there is a book with a spiritual feel to it, I generally do not want to read it. I will admit that this book was interesting. It is Onuorah’s journey with her spiritual life and how she responds to it. There are ten lessons that Onuorah has learned about God and his role in her life. If you need a spiritual uplifting this story is for you.

The Devil’s Shadow (Wild Beasts Series Book 4) by T. Birmingham – Review by Erica Fish

March 6, 2019/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Erica Fish

The Devil’s Shadow by T. Birmingham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Devil’s Shadow is an interesting story by T. Birmingham. Even though this book is the fourth book in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone book. It has mystery, darkness, paranormal and some romance. This story is about Ginny and Kieran who are destined to be fated mates. They have some obstacles thrown in their path, as well as adventure. I found myself falling in love with Ginny and Kieran. I went on the roller coaster ride of emotions with them. I feel connected to Ginney like we were best friends. I feel bad like I have let her down because I wasn’t there when she needed me to be. These are the stories I love. It is easy to read a book and just read it, but it is the stories that I feel like I am in the story with the character that keeps me reading. I cannot wait to see whose story will be coming next.

Coming Home: The Sequel to Flowers in December by Jane Suen – Review by Erica Fish

COMING HOME by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Coming Home is a fun-loving Christmas story by Jane Suen. I like Jane’s other books and I knew that I would like this one as well. The story was a quick read, but it has such a powerful story within the covers. I felt that the characters could easily be a part of my family or friends. I love Mary Ann’s character the most. I love how she achieved what she wanted in life. Mary Ann is such a strong female character. This story was filled with emotions and twists and turns. I would suggest a kleenex box near you and to set enough time to complete this story.

Dig Two Graves by Keith Nixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Have you ever read a story and the hair sticks up on your neck? I can testify that Dig Two Graces by Keith Nixon has done that to me. This is my first book by Mr. Nixon, and it will not be my last. Mr. Nixon can spin an intricate web that kept me on my toes. The character is fully developed and believable. Mr. Gray is a troubled detective. He lost his son when he was six (and by lost, I mean taken from him). Every time there is a murder with a child close to his son’s age, he gets queasy thinking that it may be his son. There has been a teenage boy that committed suicide and he did not want to take the case just in case it in fact was his son. The story progresses from there and skeletons from Gray’s closet start coming out and there is a whirlwind surrounding the investigation. Will Gray be able to continue with this case? Will the past come back to haunt him? You will have to read to find out more.

The Inheritance: The Story of an Unlikely Submissive by India Kells is a short story. It is an interesting short story that I was able to read in one sitting. Lanier is a struggling artist who is not sure about her future. She has been notified that her Uncle has passed away and named her in his will. Now one could imagine getting a notice like that, but it is what she has to do to get the inheritance that is nothing like you would think. Lanier has to complete tasks in a box with Max to gain the inheritance. That is where the story became real interesting. Max is a friend of her uncle and he has a dark secret. Will Lani submit to her uncle’s wishes or will Lani walk away? Will Max be able to Lani to submit? You will have to read to find out.

Burning Britely by Deidre Huesmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Burning Britely is a cute coming of age story. Deidre Huesmann has taken a sensitive subject matter into a beautiful story. Sometimes it is awkward enough to try to get through high school without being harass for being yourself. This is a story of a nerd who falls in love with the jock, the only difference is that it is a straight jock and a homosexual nerd. I love this story because it shows acceptance and not hate. It is hard enough when you are being labeled but it can be tortured and have lasting affects the rest of your life. As an adult reading the YA book, I would recommend that every child read a story of acceptance. I applauded Deidre Huesmann for writing this beautiful book.

Blade’s Edge by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blade’s Edge is a part of a series called Satan’s Devil by Manda Mellett. I found myself reading this book and loving the story of Blade and Tasha. Blade is a big strong guy but inside he is hurting from his past. In the same situation is Tasha, as she is having issues from her past. There are all kinds of relationship issues between them. It is hard to have any kind of relationship when there is trust, commitment, and secrets. Can you really run away from the past? Is it hard to gain someone’s trust when there are secrets? That is some of the questions that will be answered in this story.

The Case of Missing Books: A Summer McCloud Paranormal Mystery by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ms. Broadwell has written several paranormal mystery books and with each one is increasingly better. This holds true to The Case of the Missing Books. With a title like that I could not resist reading the story. It is filled with witches, magic, mystery, fantasy, drama, and lots of adventures. Oh, did I mention there were books that could be causing the problems. The story has a fast-moving pace that kept me on the edge of my seat. The story, for me, was exactly what the doctor ordered. The characters are interesting, and Ms. Broadwell does an amazing job of intertwining them to keep you guessing from minute to minute where the next character takes you. It is not all fun and games as Ms. Broadwell teaches us in all her books. I hope you can sit down and enjoy the fun, keep you on your toes, mystery for all time enjoyment.

This book is amazing. I love Kimberly Packard stories and I was excited by the name of this story. Vortex can be several things and can be symbolize many feelings and relationships. Ms. Packard has created an amazing story with vivid details and believable complex characters. This story is a fast paced and nail-biting action. I did not plan on reading this in one sitting but I did. If you are a storm chaser, you will love this story as well. Vortex lives up to its name with a twister in the background of a love story, family, and identity in the mix. The story of Seth and Elaina is one for the books! Will the relationship take a twist in the right direction or will the winds blow the other way? I am hoping that Ms. Packard continues the story into a series.

Who else will been drafted to fight? Will good overcome evil? I cannot wait to read the next story to get some insight.

Broken Sand Dollar is the last book in the Sand Dollar Series by J D Boudreaux. As this is the last book in the series, I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series. The story has been building from the first book, Penny For Your Thoughts. The books are a contemporary love story. We follow Alex through his relationships, and it has been a big emotional ride. The characters are complex and can totally be a friend in the neighborhood. One main thing I liked about this story is that it was believable. I found myself talking to my kindle trying to get Alex’s attention. There are personal demons that the characters go through, but it was handled like my best friend would assist me in fixing my problems. I hope that you enjoy Alex and take the roller coaster ride like I did.

She comes up with her own suspicions that could have happens. She tells the Detective Sergeant James Harper her view of the crime. She is so believable that Detective Sergeant James believes she is the thief. Keep reading to see what Libby going to do-will she be able to shed some light on the case or will she fail?

Once I started to read the story, I fell in love with the scenery all over again. Seraphina is learning about herself. Seraphina has so much going on that she is trying to understand. Nathaniel is another character that will grab your attention. Overall, the story will grab you and take you away to Seraphina and Nathaniel’s world and you will not want to leave.

This story tugs at my heart strings. The emotions run high. I suggest a box of Kleenex and plan out some time so you can finish the story in one sitting. Grace has a brutal past that she is learning about. She understands that she needs to deal with the past before she can move forward. Will Grace allow time to heal her soul or will she be overcome by the darkness she is learning about?
