Stormy’s Thunder by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a story!!! I know if I see Manda Mellett’s books that I just pick one up because I know it is going to be an excellent read. Her ability to draw me into her stories is awesome. The plotline is engaging. I can see myself in the story with the main characters. The characters are fully developed and have unique qualities that make me recommend this book. Have you ever wanted to have a second chance at something that you messed up? Does your past come back to bite you in your rear? In this book, you can do just that. You can have a second chance to make everything work and leave you in a happy place. There is a roller coaster ride but the story keeps you moving to finish and before you know it you are at the end of the book. I will warn you once you start reading this book you are not going to want to put it down. I highly recommend this book and all of Manda Mellet’s Satan’s Devils books.

THE GRACEFUL GHOST: A story for girls rich with authentic ballet school detail and sparkling with ghostly mischief by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Graceful Ghost is a fun story. This would be age-appropriate for girls 9 or 10 years old. I think that they would love to learn about Grace. The plotline is cute and held my attention. It is a fast-paced story that can be read in one day. The characters make this story. Grace is a ghost who has been haunting a house for 200 years. The house has become a ballet school and Grace finds what she was longing to do. She wants to be a ballerina. She cannot leave the school because she is bound to the house. She wants to help someone with their dream so she can move freely like her friend Rodney. She finds a young girl to help but she really doesn’t want Grace’s help. Will Grace get through to her?

Cursed Sight is the second book in the Broderick Coven series. Let me just say wow. The plotline is engaging and keeps you on your toes.

Murder at Lolly Beach by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Murder at Lolly Beach is the second book in the Eve Sawyer mystery series. Even though this is book two, you can read this as a stand-alone book but you will also want to read the first book as well. The plotline held my attention. There are some twists and turns which caused me to be at the edge of my seat during parts of the book. I thought I knew what was happening and then BAM I was blown away. I was not going to put this book until the very last word. Eve is a college journalism student. She can find a good story almost anywhere she looks. She was looking for some relaxation at the beach. She found some new friends, but she finds a story that needs her attention.

Heartbeats and Roses is a cute contemporary story that is just what the doctor ordered.

January 20, 2021/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Erica Fish

Athalie by Jordan Elizabeth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jordan Elizabeth is a newer author to me and I have enjoyed her writing style. Athalie is a YA fantasy with adventure, drama, challenges, and the fate of the world. Her plotline is energetic, lively, and keeps you on your toes. The characters are fully developed and engage you in the story. Athalie is a village girl who has been chosen to be the yearly sacrifice. (Now with that being said, doesn’t this story capture your attention?)

The gods resurrected Athalie to search for talismans to help with the emperor’s weapon. One little problem, if Athalie dies while on this quest she will not be resurrected again.

Matching Miriam by Mya O’Malley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is not my first book by Mya O’Malley and it will not be my last book by her. Matching Miriam is a suspenseful crime book with a romance mixed into the plotline. The characters are relatable and I could feel myself within their circle of friends. This book kept me on my toes. There were twists and turns in the book, some I saw and some I did not see. I will say once you start reading this book you are not going to want to stop. In other words, make sure you are all set to read this book in one sitting. We have met Miriam in the Maggie series. I love when authors carry characters from other books because it is a great feeling to know that you have a little inside knowledge of the character. Miriam is a strong, tough, and a bad mama jammer. She does not back down from anything. She has landed a one of a kind case that she is focusing on, the serial killer case Decade Killer. Not only is she having this tough case but a heartthrob of her past comes back and she is trying to juggle her life. Will Miriam be able to keep her focus with all the distractions? Will she solve the Decade Killer case? Will her heartthrob throw a wrench into her investigation? I highly recommend this book.

Echoes: Lucifer and the Dark Goddess by Nikki Broadwell – Review by Erica Fish

January 14, 2021/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Erica Fish

Echoes– by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow is about the only word I can use to describe this book. This book has a realistic feeling to the plotline. It evokes so many emotions to make this book feel real. The characters are complex with many personality traits to make them real. The attention to detail is what makes this story so interesting. Feirin is the main character in this book. She has lost all her memories and has no idea who she is. The only clue to her identity is a necklace and a tattoo. One would think that the police would be some assistance and that is further from the truth. This story is rated R and that should not be taken lightly. I highly recommend this book. There is the warning that once you start reading this book you will not want to put it down.

I Once Was Lost, But Now I’m Found: Daisy and the Olympic Animal Sanctuary Rescue by Laura Koerber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you are an animal lover, this book will be hard to read. This story is about 124 dogs that are in a facility that is not fit for any animal. I found many emotions while reading this story. This is not a happy story, but it is one that needs to be told. This will take you through an animal rescue in this specific place. This book is not for the faint of heart. There is a hint of happiness through all the negative. I recommend reading this story to see that there is happiness in the negativity of animal cruelty.
