Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson – Review by Erin Wolf

Grace's GhostsGrace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson, 5 stars.

This book was fantastic! Yes, the main character is twelve, so this is technically for older children, but really it’s great for all ages. Grace is entertaining and real. Children can relate to her problems and adults can remember not really fitting in as a child. The secondary characters are all fantastic too. Being a cat lover, Midnight is of course my favorite.

The story itself is interesting too. Grace learns more about herself as well as trying to figure of the puzzle of the trapped ghosts. I have read many paranormal books, and I cannot say I have read something like this before. I could not put it down until I was done (and I am many, many times older than 12). I was so intrigued and I hope there will be more books with these characters in the future.

Tangled Fates (Tangled Magic Series: Book 2) by Denise D. Young – Review by Erin Wolf

Tangled Fates (Tangled Magic #2)Tangled Fates by Denise D. Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Tangled Fates (Tangled Magic Book 2) by Denise D. Young, 5 stars.

This is such a wonderful example of Paranormal Romance! I do not see fox shifters often in books, so I was really happy to see one here. Not to mention that Vi is also pretty unique. All of the characters in this story are good — they feel very real and relatable. This made a great story even more magical for me. I cannot wait to see more of these characters.

This is my first book in this series and I did not feel lost at all. The author lightly goes over what happened previously and even though I want to go back and read book one, I understood enough that it is not technically needed. Some authors do not do too well in this. This story itself grabbed me in the beginning of the book and I could not put it down until I was finished.

If you are a fan of Paranormal Romance with magical creatures and a story woven into the most captivating story, this book is for you.

Spring’s Calling: A Seasons of Magic Urban Fantasy Novel by Sarah Biglow – Review by Erin Wolf

Spring's Calling (Seasons of Magic, #1)Spring’s Calling by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Spring’s Calling: (A Seasons of Magic Urban Fantasy Novel) by Sarah Biglow, 5 stars.

Urban Fantasy is my favorite genre so I was really looking forward to this book. I didn’t recall reading this author before, so I had no idea what to expect. The beginning of it was interesting, but I want more. I wanted to see Ezri have people on her side to help her. You can see that she has depended on just herself for so long and everyone needs at least one person they can go to. When more people got involved in helping her and she started letting those people in, that’s when the book went to phenomenal. Not only doe she have to find the bad guy, she has to be the savior to the magical world.

This book has just what you want in an Urban Fantasy book — a strong female lead, magic, suspense, laughter, tears, love, heartbreak; and it is all woven into a story that pulls you in from the very beginning and you cannot stop until you are finished. I was so ready to read the next book, but I have to wait because it’s not out yet! That’s ok, this book is so good, I will not forget this characters any time soon.

If you are a of urban fantasy, this book is for you.

Hansel & Gretel (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology – Review by Erin Wolf

Hansel & Gretel: Down the Rabbit HoleHansel & Gretel: Down the Rabbit Hole by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Hansel & Gretel (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology, 5 stars.

This is such a great collection of stories, taking a classic fairy tale and twisting and turning it in many different ways. We tend to see more of the stories Disney has already tackled, it’s nice to see Hansel and Gretel, one that has not been reimagined too much so far. Each author has their on unique take on making the story their own — incorporating many genres. That in itself makes this book pleasurable for those who get bored reading the same thing over and over. You really have so much to choose from. Each story is written so well, I was drawn into each one immediately and couldn’t wait to see where I would be taken next.

If you enjoyed fairy tales as a kid but don’t necessarily need a happy ending, this collection is for you.

HIT AND RUN by Diane Hester – Review by Erin Wolf

Hit and RunHit and Run by Diane Hester
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Hit and Run by Diane Hester, 5 stars.

I was blown away by just how good this book was. This author is new to me and I didn’t really know what to expect. It is gripping from the very beginning and does not let go until the end. It honors the masters of suspense with a story that twists and turns, not letting you off the ride or letting you know just where you’ll go next. To make it more compelling, the story is so complex. You think it’s about one thing, oh but wait, this is going on too. Oh and is that person good or bad?

The story is amazing, thrilling and gripping written by an artist with imagination and the characters are believable and you really feel for them. I would love to see more of them in the future, especially Erin. If you are a fan of gripping thrillers, this book is definitely for you.

How (Stalker Series, 3)How by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give How (Stalker Series Book 3) by Megan Mitcham, 5 stars.

This is my favorite book in the series. While every main character in this series has been wonderful, I personally could relate to Libby a bit more. Throw cats into the mix and you sold me. All of that aside, this book has the romance and suspense you have come to expect in this series. There are many twists and turns and you feel exactly what Libby must be feeling — both good and bad. The new characters introduced in this book are really interesting too. They have layers to them, not just flat placeholders.

If you like a romantic suspense story with a strong female lead and lots of twists and turns, this book is for you.

TorchTorch by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I give Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland, 4 stars.
**This review may contain spoilers from book 1.**

This is the second book in the YA dystopian series. It picks up where book one left off and is full of adventure, action, heartbreak, and basically just learning to survive. Yes there is a main goal and they are working towards it, but in this new world, everything takes time. The timing of this book being released right now makes it feel all the more like this could really happen. It brings things into a perspective I did not have when I read book one.

A very well-written story, this book pulls you right in and is interesting from beginning to end. There is so much going on in this book. The characters are great too. You have ones that are back from book one, as well as new characters you will come to love.

Since this continues the story from book one, I do recommend reading the first book before you delve into this one. However, this is a great dystopian story and I definitely recommend both books.

The Seal of Solomon – Lilandra’s Reeves Adventure (Supernatural Intelligence Agency Book 2) by Nadine Travers – Review by Erin Wolf

The Seal of Solomon: A Lilandra Reeves Adventure (Supernatural Intelligence Agency: World Book 2)The Seal of Solomon: A Lilandra Reeves Adventure by Nadine Travers

I give The Seal of Solomon: A Lilandra Reeves Adventure (Supernatural Intelligence Agency Book 2) by Nadine Travers.

This is a good continuation of the series. It is all about Lilandra’s struggle to protect the Seal of Solomon. We learn more about Lilandra’s past and why she is the way she is now. There is also action involved in protecting the seal itself. Lilandra is a great character and I would really like to see more of her in future books. While this is a very short story, it holds your interest and can easily be read in one sitting. Although the author does a good job of reiterating what happened previously, I recommend reading book one first.

If you are a fan of Paranormal creatures and adventure, along with some steaminess thrown in, this book is for you.

Life’s a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Erin Wolf

Life's a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes, #3)Life’s a Witch by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Life’s a Witch: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.

I have been reading this whole series and was so excited to see this book involved a Crimson and Mike. Crimson just seemed like the perfect character to have as a lead and I really wanted to learn more about Mike. This book excelled in doing both of these things. Crimson is a great, hilarious main character who I just love. She also is real and cares about others too. You learn why both of them have ended up in the situations they are in as well. This is not your normal, well I’m just a witch, or I’m just a demon. What this author does so well is to make her characters stand out from all the others in this genre. There stories are so unique, which makes this book astounding. Then there is the current situation Crimson finds herself in. As usual in these books, the author keeps you on your toes as to what happens next. You will also see previous characters make an appearance as well, which I always love.

If you are a fan of Paranormal Romantic Comedy, this book is for you. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the previous books too.

Kat’s Conundrum (Raven and Hummingbird Book 3) by Nikki Broadwell – Review by Erin Wolf

Kat's Conundrum (Raven and Hummingbird Book 3)Kat’s Conundrum by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Kat’s Conundrum (Raven and Hummingbird Book 3) by Nikki Broadwell, 4 stars.

This book is a good continuation of the story. Throughout the book, Kat mostly feels lost, not remembering who she is or what her destiny is. However, trying to discover these things is not as easy as you would think. Obstacles of all sorts are constantly thrown in her path, and she must decide on her own what to do. Will she do the right thing?

This is book three in the series and you really have to read the first two to fully follow this book. There are a lot of good characters in here. Some you dislike, some need an attitude adjustment, but others you embrace. There are a few whom I really hope to see quite a bit more of in the future. There are many secondary characters in this book and they really are what make this such a wonderful read. The story itself is quite good and interesting too. There are many places Kat travels to, and many things she encounters. Something new is always happening, there is not a moment of boredom. You quite often wonder just what is going on or what will happen next. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

If you are a fan modern fantasy, this book and series is for you.

Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie TaleBaba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale by Danielle Ackley-McPhail
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale by Danielle Ackley-McPhail and Day Al-Mohamed, 5 stars.

This book is an incredible story of fantasy, straight out of the Arabian fairy tales of old but with a steampunk twist. I really enjoy steampunk and I couldn’t wait to see what this book had to offer. While part of it takes part in Victorian England, where most people think of when they here steampunk, the fact that a good portion of it takes place in the desert lands of the Middle East was new and exciting to me. The things that are created is amazing and so wonderous.
I was in awe when reading the descriptions.

Then there is the story itself. There is so much going on, it is extremely difficult to put this book down. There is action, suspense, grief, romance — pretty much everything is in here. These two authors weave such a magical tale and do it so well, they put you right into the story with their superb writing.

If you read all the fairy tales growing up and/or enjoy steampunk, pick up this wonderful book now.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Hawk’s Cry : Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #2 by Manda Mellett, 5 stars.

I’m going to admit this: this is not a series I would have picked for myself. The genre is not one of my top picks, but it was recommended and I thought I would give it a try. I started with the first generation and with each book I am amazed at how how good and unique each book is. As many books as have been written in this series, I am constantly amazed at how each and every character is different but still interesting and how each story is so unique. In the beginning of this book, I was screaming at the other characters that there was more going on with Hawk. I don’t usually get emotional over books, but this one made me feel so much. The struggle they go through, plus the other things going on, really make you want to keep reading until you finally get to the end. It is so much more than a simple motorcycle club romance– this book really gets you in the heart and pulls for all it’s worth.

Shift Happens: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Erin Wolf

Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes, #2)Shift Happens by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Shift Happens (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.

What I like so much about this series is it’s unpredictability. Sure it’s a paranormal romance with humor and some suspense involved and there has been plenty fof that. But the author throws in things that you don’t see in this genre and makes you stop and think. This is exciting to me. Not to mention how good the book is in and of itself. The characters are well done and you really feel for each of them. You root for them the whole time. You think the story is headed in one direction, but then it makes a quick left and you are stunned, but have to see where it leads.

It is fun, quirky, and sexy all in one. If you like your paranormal romance with fun, sexiness and hot characters, this book is for you. It can be read as a standalone in my opinion, but I recommend book one too since it is so good.

Why (Stalker Series Book 2)Why by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Why (Stalker Series Book 2) by Megan Mitcham

The second book in the series, this book switches focus to Genevieve, the prosecutor who defended her good friend and boss against the murder of his family. Then she begins to doubt his innocence. What is great about this book, is that you see her go from being this strong female New York attorney to questioning everything and everyone she’s ever know. She lets us in this way. This makes her endearing. Honestly, she is not someone I probably would associate with in the beginning of the book. It’s just not my style. But the more she questions, the more human and likable she becomes. Although you never once question her group of friends and what they mean to each other – that is obvious. Then there is the story itself. The deeper she goes to try to find the answers, the more trouble she finds herself in. And the more she has to learn to trust others — something she hasn’t done in ages.

The story is gripping and exciting, there is a flare of these two characters who may feel something, but she has to give a little. Overall, this is a good, gripping romantic suspense and I would recommend this book. It can be read as a standalone, but I suggest reading them all since they are so well done.

Aberration (Aberration Book 1)Aberration by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Aberration by Naomi Valkyrie & Rebecca E. McEwen, 5 stars.

This book was amazing!!! What these characters are is something completely new to me, which is rare and exciting in the supernatural book world. At the same time, it has the feel of being based on old world legends/beliefs. I really like how the authors took this and modernized it, making it feel of both worlds at the same time. The characters themselves are great too. They feel real, with real problems. I cannot wait to see how each of the characters evolves as the series goes on.

This is a great book to introduce us to a new world and series and I eagerly await the next book, plus hope there will be many to come! The characters are teenagers, but it is also a wonderful read for adults too — it does not alienate the adults like some teenage books tend to do. I highly recommend this book for all ages young adult and higher.

License to Bite (New Orleans Nocturnes, #1)License to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.

This is a fun Paranormal Romance set in New Orleans. Jane comes across as entitled and spoiled in the beginning of the book. Considering that Ethan is a brooding, depressed vampire, they actually balance each other out. Not to mention that as the book goes on, they bring out more and more of the best of one another. While Jane did annoy me in the beginning of the book, her good qualities really come out as the book does on.

The story is good one too and not necessarily one I’ve read before. Not to mention Jane’s aversion to blood. It is refreshing to read something different in a paranormal romance. Then there is the frustrating feelings Jane and Ethan have for each other. Yes this part has been done before, but the author still makes it entertaining.

If you are a fan of Paranormal Romance set in such an interesting city, this book is for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give High Fae Academy – Year One: Fae Paranormal Romance by Kaylin Peyerk, 5 stars.

Ok, I will admit one thing right here — not too long ago, I recently read a book by another author where the main character controlled all the elements and went to an academy, where she was suddenly attracted to five different guys. So when I started this book, I loved the characters, but was expecting a similar story. Well, this author threw me a bunch of curve balls, including one major one (I will not give it away, but you will know when you read it). I literally stopped and had to think about that one. There has not been a book to do that to me in a VERY long time. Yeah I have been surprised by plot twists, but I quickly move on. The addition here was so great, it immediately raised the bar for me.

Now, back to the book itself. The characters were fun and interesting. I feel like we could learn some more about them, but I’m guessing we will as time goes on. The story is great too. Let’s face it, the supernatural academy romace seems to be becoming it’s own subgenre, but I enjoyed how the author handled this. She made it her own, not just another one in a long line. I eagerly await the chance to read book two, I’m sure the author has many surprises in store.

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

I give Endless Night (Dylan Hart Book 2) by RM Gilmore, 5 stars.

I didn’t really know where the author was going to go next or if she could top book one. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised at this book. I love the balance it plays between suspense and romance. Taking Dylan and company to New Orleans was great too, because it now shows us how she reacts when out of her element. The relationships she has with her people are changing too, and she has to deal with that on top of everything else. I’m not sure if I personally like all these changes, but I can understand and anxiously await to see where they lead in the future.

If you have read book one, you know that Dylan attracts trouble like no other. So needless to say, she is in it again, without even trying. This part of the story is where the suspense part comes in, but true to the series, there is dark humor and sarcasm all throughout the book. It would not be a Dylan Hart book without her plus sized attitude. Although she is still endearing because she does have a heart and a softer side.

If you like a suspense book with snark, humor, attitude, and a wonderful cast, this book is for you. It can be read as a standalone since the author does a great job of reminding us what happened in the past, but I highly recommend reading book one first. Either way, you will not regret picking up this book.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 4-6): A Small Town Romantic Comedy Series by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Erin Wolf

I give Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 4-6): A Small Town Romantic Comedy Series by K.L. Montgomery, 5 stars.

This set and entire series are really what make me love romance. I will admit, it is not my first pick in genres, but this set really helped sell me on just how good and how fun romance can be. The author does an amazing job of making the characters seem so real. I am blown away every time at how they could easily be people I know. At the same time, each book is different from one another while still feeling like they all fit together. You will see characters from previous books make an appearance, plus there is the wonderful setting of the beach to make it a must read for the summer. For those who live or vacation in Slower Lower, you will recognize locations and it will feel even more real. I was so excited to see a romance series set here!

If you enjoy romantic comedies set at the beach with strong writing and awesome characters, this set is for you. The set can be read by itself, but I do suggest reading all of the books because they are so enjoyable.

I give P.A.W.S. (The P.A.W.S. Saga Book 1) by Debbie Manber Kupfer, 5 stars.

I will admit, I was recommended this book by the author a couple years ago as something I may like in an event, purchased it, then unfortunately forgot about. My TBR list is huge and I can stop buying. Anyway, I finally got the opportunity to read it and I can’t believe I waited so long. I would say this is a teen book, but as an adult, I enjoyed it immensely. As a cat lover, this is what drew me in and I really like Miri as a main character. She feels alone and not quite understood, but she learns more about herself and steps up when she needs to. It does have a feel of being inspired by the Harry Potter books, but the author makes it her own in the types of characters and the world she creates. There are so many other characters I am dying to learn more of as the series goes on. Then there is the story itself. Miri feels like an outcast and all alone. Most people, especially teenagers, can relate to this. She is finally able to find a place she feels more comfortable, but events happen that do not make it as easy as it seems.

If you like a world of magic and fantastic creatures and people in a young adult/teenage age group, this book is for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Indebted to the Vampires (House of Durand Book 1) by Erin Bedford, 5 stars.

This is such a wonderful Paranormal Romance!! I literally could not put it down. Incredibly hot sexy vampires? Check. And not just one, but many. Throw in a clumsy girl with a healthy libido who badly needs this maid job, and you have a fun, quirky book that makes you feel happy reading it. Piper is just a real twenty-something most women could relate to at some point in their life. The brothers are all completely different from one another too. The author lets us see more about each one of them too, so we can better understand why they are the way they are. Not to mention that the story itself is different. I never would have thought for my main character to be a clumsy maid in a house full of vampires. Of course, there is much more going on then just this, like the attractions each one feels to Piper and vice versa. That is not all, but I do not want to give any more away.

If you like hot Paranormal Romance, this book is for you. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

This is another amazing book in an incredible series. First off, this series is in my neck of the woods. That is what interested me in the series in the first place. How many people write about Delaware in fiction?! What kept me is the incredible writing of an obviously talented author. This book is another amazing example of it. These characters are so real, the have real faults, real issues, and real feelings. Not one of these characters are flat. There are parts that will make you cry, parts that will make you laugh and parts where you really want to smack the characters upside the head. But that’s ok, they’re allowed. The story of him wanting to be a “rock star” is an interesting twist for this series. I am blown away at how may different storylines and types of people the author can come up with. They do not feel like the same thing again and again. I congratulate her on this and hope to read many more in this series. Needless to say, I could not put the book down.

Oh and for the record, driving while being stuck behind a chicken truck — pure Slower Lower. Talk about realism!

If you are a fan of sweet romances where the people are real and they struggle just like normal couples, this book and series are for you.

I give A Study in Spirits: A College Fae magic series #2 by Byrd Nash, 5 stars.

The first book in this series was so much fun and I anxiously awaited the next one. Well, it passed the grade and then some. The book was outstanding! Sticking with the same group of characters from book 1, there is also an addition of another character to their group who is just as interesting and I would love to see more of in the future. The characters are so great because they work together so well and all have kindness to others in their heart. Albeit different and not always on the same page, they work together to help those in need. This time, the focus is something evil in the library. The way they go about solving everything is so interesting and you just can’t put the book down. The story is entertaining and fun, the characters are real but not too pretentious, and there is of course a talking cat, which just pushes it over the edge for me.

If you are a fan of college aged main characters in an urban fantasy setting, this book is for you.

Serenade by TK Lawyer – Review by Erin Wolf

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

I give Serenade by T.K Lawyer, 4 stars.

This is a steamy Paranormal Romance with a wolf shifter and a human who has no idea the supernatural even exists. Kingsley knows right away that Eva is his, but now he will have to convince her, and he will do anything to prove it. But how will she react when he tells her the truth? Eva gave up on dating, but meeting Kingsley give her second thoughts. Should she give him a chance? Why does it feel like he is hiding something?

An entertaining supernatural romance, this has elements of romance, suspense, and some fun thrown into the mix. The characters are real and fun, I would love to see more of them. Even though Eva isn’t sure what she believes, she steps up for those she cares for when the time is needed. It is a story of whether or not these two, who seem to be fated, can dance to the song of romance and become one. But it is not a simple one. It takes love and trust, and we see just how much each one has.

If you are a fan of supernatural romance, you will enjoy this book.

I give Age of Secrets (The Druid’s Brooch Series 8) by Christy Nicholas, 5 stars.

If you have been reading the series, you have been following the path of the brooch and what powers the current owner of the brooch gains. The powers Fingin gains are my favorite so far and this book itself is my favorite in the series. I really like Fingin. He has had to endure so much in his life, but he doesn’t seem to have a moment’s peace. Just when he thinks he has settled down to a normal life, he is sent on a journey that is both treacherous and thrilling. He learns how much more there is to life and what he really wants out of it. The author has yet again woven a fantastic world set in Ireland, long before it was known as such. She does a perfect job of making you feel like you are there. The secondary characters just add more flavor into the mix. They are not necessarily your normal secondary characters, but you will love them all the same. And this book, it just wouldn’t fit in the series if there wasn’t some magic in it. Well, Fingin gets to experience more than he ever imagined. But he stays strong through everything. He has a big heart and cares about his friends, he must endure for them. But just how much can he take?

If you are a fan of a magical series with strong characters on a journey of a lifetime, this book and series is for you. It can be read as a standalone, but I suggest reading them all since they are so good.

The Scene (Dylan Hart #1)The Scene by R.M. Gilmore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give The Scene (Dylan Hart Book 1) by R.M. Gilmore, 5 atars.

I absolutely loved this book! If I could, I would give it 10 stars. It is so refreshing to see something new in the mystery/whodunit genre. Yes, it is more common to have female lead characters and mysteries dealing with the occult and supernatural nowadays, but the way the author puts all of this together makes for a hysterical, gripping read. It reminded me heavily of the show Kolchak: Night Stalker, but female and much, much snarkier. I instantly fell in love with Dylan. Bigger than most girls with a personality to match, she is just what I want to see in a lead. She knows she isn’t perfect, but she tries to overcome her insecurities and work with what she has. Then there are the secondary characters. Her best friend is amazing and just what you would expect for Dylan. Then there are the men — my jury is still out on them, but again I hope to see more of them.

Let us not forget the story itself. It based around some murders of women that are quite strange. Dylan decides to look into it more and the deeper she goes, the more she realizes she needs to solve this. Along the way, she begins to question her sanity when it looks like it could be vampires. The author pulls all of the elements together perfectly and throws you right into the story. She does such a seamless job of it, you have to remember where you are when you close the book.

If you are a fan of dark, snarky female leads in a mystery suspense dealing with the supernatural, this book is definitely for you. The subject matter and language is quite adult at times, so make sure you are okay with this first. If you like the edgier side of things, get this book now!

Journeys Through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) by James Talisman – Review by Erin Wolf

Journeys Through TimeSpaceJourneys Through TimeSpace by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Journeys Through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) by James Talisman, 5 stars.

This book is incredible. We pick up the characters from book one and see how their stories advance. Each of them continue to grow and it is interesting to see how they all progress. It is obvious that each one truly commits to their beliefs. Then there is the story itself. You have multiple settings involving multiple sets of characters. The author does a wonderful job of keeping them all interesting and cohesive. Although the book jumps back and forth, it is quite easy to pick up where these characters left off. The worlds the author created are phenomenal and make you feel like you are there. There were some that I would love to be a part of in real life. There are many little surprises thrown in too that make it an even more interesting read. I really enjoyed read this series, it is nothing like I have read before. As a bonus, it really makes you stop and possibly look at the world in a different way. These characters take nothing for granted.

This book is the second in the series and really should be read after book one. If you are a fan of epic science fiction this book and series are for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Summer Princess (Dark Fae Book 1) by Sloane Murphy, 5 stars.

This is an amazing fantasy book obviously inspired the works of George R. R. Martin. This is not a happy-go-lucky book. There is so much tragedy and emotions of all kind in this book. Emilia goes through so much but she learns and grows as the story goes on. But she is not the only character in this book and the other characters are just as interesting. You may not like them all, but the author does a wonderful job of making them real. Then there is the story itself. This general type of story has been told before, but that will not deter you at all. The world this author creates is spectacular and you will be drawn in immediately. I cannot wait to read the next book.

If you are a fan of fantasy that has some darker elements to it, this book is for you.

Black Cat Security by Katerina Ross – Review by Erin Wolf

Black Cat SecurityBlack Cat Security by Katerina Ross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Black Cat Security by Katerina Ross Posted, 4 stars.

Wow, this nothing close to anything I have ever read before!!! I love that it is so unique — in the world of the Paranormal, so much has been done that it is so refreshing to see something this unique. The main characters intrigue me and I hope we learn more about them in another, longer book. The struggles he has and the way they control it — wow. I will say that this contains explicit BDSM scenes, so if that is not something you want to read about, this may not be for you. I you are okay with it, I highly recommend reading this. It is not very long, and I had no idea what to expect. But once I kept going, I found it hard to put down until I finished. I commend the author greatly!

*This review may contain spoilers from previous books in the series..*

Wow. This yet another gripping fascination of a book from a thrilling series. It grabs you by the proverbial balls and takes you on a wild ride you will never see coming. The story has so many twists and turns, I was dizzy at the end of it but wanted to get back on the ride again. The characters are incredible too. They have each gone through so much, they are definitely not your cardboard placeholders just there to help the story along. This book is so much more than just the mystery of finding out what happened and who did it. The author does a wonderful job of throwing in so many subplots while keeping the book clean and interesting.

While this book may have some parts that may be a little too much for the lighthearted, this is a spectacular addition to the series and highly recommended to those who enjoy a criminal thriller. This book can be read as a standalone (in my opinion), but you will understand and feel so much more if you read the previous books in the series first.
