My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give A Beach Wedding To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 2) by Judy Moore, 4 stars.

Beck is back again with another murder mystery on her hands. This is a great addition to the series and has all of the fun characters you remember from book one, with a few new ones thrown in. While it is set in the same town, it is different enough to make it feel like something new and fresh, not the same story rehashed. This really is such a fun cozy mystery and I could not put it down, guessing whodunit until the end.

If you are a fan of cozy mysteries set in a beach town location with great characters, this book and series is for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Shattered Snow (The Mirror Chronicles Book 1) by Rachel Huffmire, 5 stars.

This is a retelling of Snow White. There have been many retellings of fairytales lately and to be honest, some of them are not very imaginative. The same cannot be said whatsoever for this book. I completely forgot I was reading a retelling when I first started reading it. When I got further in, I met more and more characters that reminded me and I was thrilled. While staying true to the basic story, this author spins such a fantastic tale and really makes it their own. I can honestly say that I have never read anything like this and I loved that fact! The story and characters pulled me in immediately, I could not put the book down. I throughly enjoy the story and really loved the directions the author took. I am left wanting to know more about this world and these characters.

If you are a fan of fairytales and time traveling with strong, real characters, this book is for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Age of Druids: Druid’s Brooch Series: #9 by Christy Nicholas, 5 stars.

Every time I pick up one of these books, I am reminded just how good they are. You are immediately immersed into this magical tale that the author has woven. Clíodhna has many struggles in her life, and while this was set such a long time ago, the main issues she struggles with are still relevant today. I loved her as a main character, she be may favorite in the series. She is strong, independent, and does what she needs to for her family. But she is not the only character in this book. There are many others and they are all written so well — they feel so real.

Then there is the story itself. Such a rich story, full of detail and imagination although at the same time rooted in history of what really happened. The author has obviously done her research while adding her on spin on this tale. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as well as the whole series, and I highly recommend it to those who like strong characters and historical fiction with fantastic mixed in.

Eagle of the Empire (Relic Hunters, #1)Eagle of the Empire by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Eagle of the Empire (Relic Hunters) by Martin Ferguson, 5 stars.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I was blown away. Since the character was is still a teen, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But this book is truly for all ages. The author takes the idea of the Indiana Jones movies and makes his on take on the action/adventure genre. There is also some supernatural thrown in for good measure.

The cast of characters is exceptional too. They are all have their own unique personalities and I quickly came to love each and every good guy. They felt so real, even the bad guys. I felt like I was thrown in this story right there with them.

I could not put the book down and highly recommend this book to anyone who likes stories of adventure with a wonderful story and great characters.

I give Curse of the Sands (Relic Hunters), 5 stars.
**This review may contain spoilers from book 1.**

This book pics up after book 1 and puts the crew on a brand new adventure. It is just as good as the first, if not better. We learn much more about everyone on the team, as well as some new characters. There are more to love, as well as some new ones to hate.

Then there is the story. While still an adventure with supernatural tones, we are now into Egyptian mythology and history. This book, just like the first, actually has two complete stories in it — one of the past and one set in the present. While other books flash back to the past to tell another story, the author does this so well, it could easily be two different books. I was so enthralled by both stories.

This story and the characters were so captivating, I could not put the book down. If you are a fan of action/adventure with a wonderful story and characters, this book and series are for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Grosse Pointe by Natalie Barnes, 5 stars.

This book is incredible. Brek is a great main character, andh is story is heartfelt and endearing. It is the story of a man with a good heart who does what he has to do to survive. The secondary characters are also so good. They feel so real and I felt like I was put right into his era along side these colorful characters. The story itself is written so incredibly. You will feel all emotions as you read, but will be moved by both the love and the hate that is in this story.

If you are a fan of historical fiction interspersed with romance and/or books set around an Irish immigrant in the 1920s, you must read this book. I could not put it down and want to read more about this world.

CI give Her Blackened Heart (Blackened Series Book 2) by Isra Sravenheart, 4 stars.

I really enjoy this series, and this book just adds to it. It is like reading a dark, adult fairytale. It picks up where book one left off. We see and learn so much more of Astrid in this. We also meet new characters who happen upon the dark castle they call home. They are all wonderful, you never know who is good or bad, or what exactly they are up to. Then there is the story itself. Again, twists and turns leave you guessing the whole way.

If you grew up loving fairy tales, but now root for the evil queen, this book and series is for you. It can be read as a stand alone, but you will understand more if you read book one first.

East Beach (Red Farlow Mysteries: #3)East Beach by W.F. Ranew
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give East Beach: Red Farlow Mysteries: #3 by W.F. Ranew, 5 stars.

This is another great book in a wonderful Hard Boiled PI series. The story has so many twists and turns, I dare you to keep track the entire time. But don’t worry, it will all make sense as you go on. I was never exactly of the big picture since the author made sure to throw in a few subplots, but I could not put the book down — I needed to see what happened next. Such a gripping, twisting story.

But what this author really excels at and makes them stand apart is their character development. Each and every character in this story has an extensive back story. This makes them feel all that much real and you understand them so much better. You never really know who will be important later on or not, so you are left guessing just what role the character will play later on. I enjoy this aspect of the book, it makes the story feel all that more real.

This book deals with some adult situations, so I would not recommend it for a younger audience, but if you like your detective stories gritty and fully of suspense and action, this book is for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Pharaoh’s Forgery: Karina Goes on Vacation (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 4) by Ellen Butler, 5 stars.

I always forget just how good this series is until I start the next book and find myself unable to put it down. This book is no exception. I was pulled in from the very beginning. I like how they moved the location to another country. The change in setting was refreshing while still maintaining everything this series is know for. I liked how it was not all about DC and politics, now revolves around ancient relics. There is still a lot of adventure and twists and turns in the story, it is both thrilling and gripping.

Then there are the characters. Karina is great as always. She feels real, not always making the most popular decisions, but ones she feels strongly about. I like how we got to know more about her neighbor, Mrs. Thundermuffin. I could tell from previous books that she was definitely an interesting character and I was so great that the author told us so much more about her in this book. I also like how Rodrigo was more of a main character in this book too. Again, he seemed like an interesting character previously, but I had no idea just what he was made of. This book shows us.

If you like a thrilling mystery suspense with great characters and a gripping story, this book and series are for you. In my opinion, this can be read as a standalone, but I suggest reading all of them since they are so good.

Tompkin's School For The Dearly Departed (Supernatural Trilogy #2)Tompkin’s School For The Dearly Departed by Tabi Slick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick, 4 stars.

This book picks up with our characters after book one and the suspense and action does not stop until the end. A young adult supernatural book, it revolves around students of a boarding school. Kain and Izara have changed so drastically from what they once were. The struggle between retaining what they were and believe plus coming to figure out just what they now are is very evident and makes them seem quite real. But this isn’t the only issue in this book. There are many characters for and against them, but they don’t really know just who is who. I enjoyed the cast of characters in this story.

The book itself is a great story written to keep you entertained, intrigued, and guessing. The author does a great job of this and I cannot wait to see where the story leads us next. If you are a fan of YA supernatural books, this series is for you.

I loved this book!! I had only read the first book in the series before I picked up this one, so I missed what went on in between, but the author did a great job of making me feel like I didn’t miss a thing. The characters are what really make this series so good. All of the ones you love are back, as well as some new ones. This is a cozy mystery book that will keep you guessing until the end. I had an idea, but didn’t know exactly what was going on, and was definitely surprised at the end. I love that in a whodunit!! What makes this exceptional to me was getting the teenagers in on their own mystery. It wasn’t added as an afterthought or just to pull in younger readers. This was blended into the book in such a way that had you guessing which mystery was more important. I absolutely loved this. The teens are smart and hard-working — they don’t expect the adults to do everything, but at the same time they know when to ask for help.

These mysteries together made for an exceptional book that I could not put down. I will definitely be reading more from this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Distant Heart Sounds: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book 1 by Kate MacInnes. 4 stars.

This was a fun, interesting book. It reminds me a bit of Grey’s Anatomy but with ghosts. There is so much going on here. Morgan almost dies, and she is still coping with this. Then there is her job and the friends and coworkers who are her family. Oh, and let us not forget that now she can see and talk to ghosts! This book has many angles, but it is so cohesive and makes for a wonderful story. I really enjoyed this book and loved Morgan. It was so interesting seeing how she deals with everything. She feels so real and tackles things like most people would. Morgan is a very strong character and someone to look up to. The secondary characters, both living and ghosts are wonderful and really make this book exceptional. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and see just where it leads.

If you are a fan of strong female characters, wonderful friendships, and ghosts, this book is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Alamir: Blood of Kaos Series by Nesa Miller, 4 stars.

I will admit, this book confused me at first. I did not really understand where it was going or who was important. I do not give up on books easily though and am glad that I did not on this one. It turned out to be a fabulous story, full of twists and turns and so captivating. Etain goes through so much in this book and is constantly learning and growing. She has to decide whom to trust when others tell her not to. She has to make decisions that affect not only herself — quite possibly the hardest decisions there are. I really enjoyed her as a main character.

Of course, this book is about so much more than just her. The other characters really add to this book and each in their own way will have you loving or hating them — or possibly both. At times, it is hard to decide who is the “good guy”. Then there is the story itself. I did not see most of the things coming and was constantly on edge for what would happen next. I loved it.

If you are a fan of fantasy with strong female leads, this book is for you.

This short story really packs a punch. There is so much in here, and you will really get to know so much about Xen. The author weaves a tale of heartache and determination. You really understand Xen and why she does what she does. It was written in such a gripping way too. I was not able to put it down until I finished.

If you are a fan of wonderfully written science fiction, this book is definitely for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Blue Magnolia: Red Farlow Mysteries: #2 by W.F. Ranew, 4 stars.

I have not read this series or author before, so I had no idea what to expect. The first thing and most obvious to me was the detailed character descriptions. The author gives us back stories to each and every character in the book. That is something that is unusual to me and wasn’t sure what to think about it. The more I read the more I appreciated it. I sometimes get mixed up if there are too many characters and little description. It is quite obvious the time and effort the author put into all of the characters, not just the main ones.

I enjoyed all of the main characters and cannot wait to see them again. Plus there is the story itself. It pulls on things that are very current and relatable. At the same time, there are many little things that make this book unique and stand out from the rest. I quite enjoyed this book and hope to pick up another some time soon. If you are a fan of mysteries, I highly recommend this book.

This was a fun, interesting supernatural/fairytale read and if you are a fan, this book is for you.

This book is just incredible. I didn’t really know where the book was going, but I loved the journey it took me on and was pleasantly surprised each time something unexpected happened. I loved Vashti. Simeon and Absalom are also very good characters and great additions. I found the story so compelling and could not put it down. I was eager to see what happened next, but I could not rush through the book. I devoured this book — something I have not done in a long time. The fact that the story is so different from most romantic fantasies made me love this book even more. I reall h tsee kore of this world in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give The Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham, 4 stars.

This is a really good historical murder mystery. What I enjoyed most was the main character, Charlie. It is really interesting to me to see things from a manservant’s point of view. I really like this idea and can’t say that I have seen it much in this genre. Then there is Charlie himself. Likeable, but quiet and unassuming, he really comes into himself as the book goes on. The twists and turns abound too. You are kept guessing as to who did it and why. The author throws many people at you, and you have to guess just where they fit in this puzzle. Then there is the buildup to the murder. The author sets the scene wonderfully, introducing us to the cast of characters and then shocking us with what happens. I like to be kept guessing and this was so enjoyable to me.

If you are a fan of historical mysteries, I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Calamity under the Chandelier (A Sleuthing Starlet Mystery Book 1) by Camilla Blythe, 4 stars.

This a historical cozy mystery set in the time before WWII where Hollywood starlets were glamorous as ever. Our main character, Cora, is quite timid in the beginning of the book, but really finds herself and her inner strength as the story goes on and she is a good main character. The secondary characters are varied and interesting each in their own way.

This book is set up in your typical Agatha Christie-type fashion where we meet each of the characters and they are described in detail to us. Then the author throws in the death and has us figure out who the murderer is. Of course, they each had a motive and they aren’t what they appear. I really enjoy these types of books so this was fun to me. I did not guess the outcome and was pleasantly surprised when I got to the end. I am excited to see what book two in the series has in store.

If you enjoy Historical Cozy Mysteries, this book is for you.

I give Virtually Gone: A Mended Souls Novel (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 6) by Jacquie Biggar, 4 stars.

This is crime novel that uses advanced technology to catch a serial rapist. This takes the traditional detective novel and enhances it with the use of up and coming advancements in technology. The story itself is very good too. We see things not only from the point of view of the detectives on the case, but also the reporters they happen to be friends with. Then of course there is the view of the perpetrator. This adds another layer of suspense. I was on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what would happen next and if they could catch the killer in time.

If you are a fan of criminal thrillers that used new ways of catching the bad guy, this book is for you.

I give Curse of Seduction (Dark Princes of Purgatory Book 1) by CR Robertson, 5 stars.

This is Paranormal Romance at its finest. Ilana and Ezekiel have the classic forbidden type romance. The author does this in such a unique an interesting way. Involving a curse has been done before, but I really like the way it’s done in this book. But as any exceptional para romance, this romance element is not the only thing this book has to offer. The action and each character struggling with not only their own problems but also the problems around them ties altogether and creates a story woven of such interesting threads that you will not be able to put it down. I cannot wait to see what else this series has to offer and anxiously await when I can read the next book.

If you are a fan of Paranormal Romance, I highly recommend this book.

This set is amazing! When I started the first book, I wasn’t sure what to think. But that was solved when I quickly learned that I could not put the book down. Each book in this set does that — pulls you in with stories and characters that are so compelling. Some people, you want to know more of; others you love to hate. The stories themselves are gripping and leave you guessing until the end.

With a superb cast and stories you submerge yourself in, this set is a great buy and I highly recommend it for those who like psychological suspense.

Dare Me (Book One in the Demonology series)Dare Me by Felicity Brandon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Dare Me: A Paranormal Demon Romance (The Demonology Series Book 1) by Felicity Brandon, 4 stars.

This is a paranormal erotic story involving a down on her luck artist. She can’t seem to pull herself out of the misery she is in. This is perfect fodder for a demon who thrives on misery. But there is something else about this mortal that he just can’t give up.

This story has a lot of sex and steamy scenes. It also tends to lean heavily on the slave/master type of sex. If that is not your thing, this may not be for you. However, if you enjoy this, you will definitely enjoy this book. Selling your soul to the devil to become famous has been around for as long as there have been forms of entertainment. That is what the author uses as her basis, and spins her on tale from there.

If you are a fan of dominant demons and submissive mortals in a dance of love and sex, this book may just be for you.

This is another great addition to a fantastic series in romantic suspense. There is plenty of action as well as the kind of romance that would make your mom blush. If you are familiar with the series, you will know how well the author blends these into a story you cannot put down. The main story in this one is generally the same yet still completely different. There is much to follow, but it is not confusing at all.

The characters are another part of what makes this book. If you have read the series, you will recognize the the, but they continue to grow and we learn so much more about some of them. You may learn that some aren’t so bad, where others are horrible.

If you are a fan of steamy suspense, this book and series are for you. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading them all because they are so good.

I give Heart of Malice (Alice Worth Book 1) by Lisa Edmonds, 5 stars.

This is phenomenal urban fantasy. It is a little on the darker side, but the story is so unique and interesting. Alice’s background is something the like I have not really read before and you can see this in the way she handles her investigation. At the same time, she is knows she’s not perfect and learns from that. She reminds me of Mercy Thompson or Anita Blake. Malcolm is great too and I really like the addition of a secondary character. Then there’s the story itself. I really enjoyed it and liked the fact that I was reading something I have not read before. Add in the twists and turns, this makes for a complete story that you can’t get enough of. I eagerly await when I can delve back into this world in the next book.

If you are a fan of strong female characters in an urban fantasy setting with some mystery and action thrown in, this book is for you.

I give Dares & Dice (Spicetopia Book 5) by Phoebe Alexander, 5 stars.

This book threw me. The main characters were quite vanilla at first, just at Spicetopia for bachelorette and bachelor parties. I didn’t see where this was going or how they would fit into the amusement park. But I have to admit, they surprised me. Which, reading this author quite a few times by now, I should have known better. They were quite entertaining and deeper than I originally thought. There were a few curveballs thrown at me too, which totally did not see.

This book can be read as a standalone, but the series is so entertaining and each book is so unique, I highly recommend reading the whole series. If you are a fan of fun romance that isn’t afraid to get a little dirty, this book is for you.

I give A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore, 5 stars.

I really enjoy cozy mysteries and this book intrigued me, so I thought I would try it. Besides, what’s not to like about books, coffee, pets, and a beach setting? It led up to my expectations and then some. The characters were great — Beck is a great main character and the secondary characters compliment the book so well. My favorite is Beck’s grandmother. Just wait until you meet her!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a cozy mystery without a murder and the main character trying to solve it, now would it? In great Agatha Christie fashion, we have a whole slew of choices for the killer. The author does not make it obvious either. And the motive? I never saw it coming!

If you enjoy cozy mysteries with fun, great characters, in a usually peaceful setting, I highly recommend this book. I really hope there will be more books revolving around Beach Reads.

I give Summer’s Stolen: (An Urban Fantasy Novel) (Seasons of Magic Book 2) by Sarah Biglow, 5 stars.
*This review may contain spoilers from book 1.*

This is a great continuation of the story. We see Ezri growing, learning to accept the help of others and to embrace the magical community she disowned long ago. The development of her character is done so well. We also get to learn more about both new characters and ones we met in book one. As time goes one, so do they, but in many different ways.

The story of the missing children is good too. Discovering that the children were of the magical community gives it a good twist, and like any good whodunit, why are left wondering the who, what, where and why. These answers were not too obvious to me, which I really liked. The book is well written and make a good story all that much more enjoyable.

If you are a fan of Urban Fantasy like I am, I highly recommend this book and series to you.

While there are many books that fall into this category, the author does a great job of making this one stand out. Louvette is such a good character and we are along for the ride as she finds out more about herself. Most teenagers feel like she does at this age and I could easily remember those times while I read. The cast of secondary characters is also really great. Her mother did the best she could, but you can see the love there. Her friends are also enjoyable and I hope to see more of them too. Then there is the story itself. It’s not just a girl finding her way in this newly discovered world. There are more sinister things afoot, making the story all the more endearing.

If you are a fan of YA Paranormal books, I recommend this story to you. I cannot wait to read the next book.
