My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Dread by Jeff Wade, 5 stars.

Frank keeps waking up from crazy nightmares. Or are they memories? And where is he? He should be in bed, but he feels like he’s entombed in stone. Follow along it slowly comes back to him. Or does it?

This is a horror/suspense short story that fits its title perfectly. You are kept on the edge of your seat, not really knowing just what is happening, but needing to find out more. At the same time, you’re ready to hide under the covers, dreading what may come next. The short story creeped me out and I absolutely loved that. I have such a hard time finding horror that will do that to me. This is my first time reading this author and I am now hooked. The story is only about 50 pages, so you can’t build too much of the character in that time, but the author has still given us a good idea at the kind of man he is. The author could have completely ignored that and made his main character flat, the story itself carries the book. He did not go that route however and makes a good book superb. This book will leave you questioning much, including your sanity, but that is the best part. Please give us more!

If you like a quick horror/suspense book that will get your pulse racing, this book is for you.

Dark (The Dark Trilogy Book 1)Dark by Paul L. Arvidson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Dark (The Dark Trilogy Book 1) by Paul L. Arvidson, 4 stars.

Dun is just a normal young adult living among his people, the bridge-folk. Well, maybe not that normal. He begins having these dreams that seem like more than dreams. Then the elders of his folk decide that he should set out on a journey to find more information about odd things happening lately. He, along with two friends, sets out on a journey leading them to many adventures and discover just how little they really know. But will they find answers or just more questions?

This is a young adult adventure fantasy book. Most of it revolves around the journey itself. The characters are quite interesting and easy to like. The story is very good and like nothing I have read before. The places they go, the decisions they have to make, all make the story more complex and interesting. There is a little bit of every emotion in this book — not to mention the twists and turns this book takes. You will never guess just what is coming next.

If you enjoy fantasy with wonderful world building and great characters, this book is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Vermilion Lies (The Order of the Senary Book 3) by L.D. Rose, 4 stars.

Dax lives to hunt and kills vampires. They prey on victims and have no feelings whatsoever. He is ruthless and efficient. Until he comes across Cindy. She is not ruthless at all, in fact she seems to be a victim. He didn’t think vampires could be like this. Now he seems to feel for her in ways he never should.

Vampire Cindel (Cindy) has been on the run for so long now. She thought her maker was the worst, but she has found out nothing is free. In the world of users of all kind, she gives what she has to to survive. When a ruthless killer shows up, she knows her life is over. But for some reason, he lets her live. As ruthless as he is, she is strangely highly attracted to him. Is a relationship even possible? When her past comes back to haunt her, she knows she has to make this work, but is it too late?

This is an enjoyable book and a great addition to the series. I really like both main characters and enjoyed learning more about them. The secondary characters also help to make this book so good. Some of your favorites are back, along with new ones you love to hate. But this isn’t just a story about the main couple. There is action in this book also, making it a well-rounded story and that much more enjoyable.

If you like paranormal romance with great characters and suspense thrown in, this book and series is for you. Oh and it can be read as a standalone but I recommend the whole series.

Dinner with The Wolf (Misfits & Rogues Series Book 2)Dinner with The Wolf by Kimberly Forrest
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Dinner with The Wolf (Misfits & Rogues Series Book 2) by Kimberly Forrest, 4 stars.

Vampire Vivian is on the run. She did something that could have her maker serving out severe punishment. So she leaves. But she doesn’t realize just how good she had it. An actress before she was turned, she always believed she should be treated like a star. She didn’t realize how good she had it at Greenlawn Hall. Now she’s stuck and ready to admit she was wrong. But she wasn’t expecting the angry man who came to her rescue…..

Jules, an immortal wolf shifter, is put to the task of fetching Vivian and bringing her back. He is not looking forward to spending time alone with this spoiled brat of a vampire — he already has enough trouble with his inner wolf. But this journey is like nothing either of them expected. They each learn that maybe there is more to them than they ever thought possible. Maybe things actually are better than seem. And just maybe there is hope after all.

This is the first book I have read from this author and I didn’t know what to expect. To be honest, Vivian was quite annoying in the beginning but that is the point. She grows so throughout the book. Jules just exists and we learn why as the book goes on. But this is not just about these two. There is quite a bit of action as the book goes on. Not to mention the secondary characters are great too. I cannot wait to learn more about them in other books in the series.

If you like your paranormal romance with some action thrown in, this book is for you.

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

The more Dahlia decides to stay, the more she struggles. She has been hiding what she really is and her past to almost everyone. But the more she does, the more she seems to hurt those closest to her. She must decide whether to trust those she cares for or continue hiding. But that’s not all. There are body parts washing up on the flooded riverbed — and not all of them appear to be human parts. Who is doing this and why? Can she figure out what or who is behind it? At what cost to her and her friends?

I have loved this series from the beginning and it just keeps getting better and better. The story itself is something like I haven’t seen before. And it is not a simple problem with a simple answer. There are many things going on and many facets to this puzzle. Dahlia herself is so complex but she is also growing too. She struggles with the way she has always thought. Not to mention how much she cares about both her friends and those in need of help. The cast of secondary characters provide even more wonderful layers.

This series showcases how Urban Fantasy should be and I highly recommend this book. I suggest reading the previous books in the series first to understand more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Saint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie, 5 stars.

St Augustina is a saint for hire — a modified cyber spy. She takes what missions she can get — she needs to eat too. So when an offer that pays out big but sounds too good to be true comes along, she takes it. But she learns it’s not a simple once and done. Plus she has a partner, someone she does not like. She is a warrior — she is made to fight. Working as a team and dealing with puzzles, not so much. But she has to. Things go deeper than she ever imagined. What is really going on? Can she figure all this out before it’s too late, or is everyone doomed?

This series is spectacular. The last couple books have veered off a bit, showing us more about secondary characters. St Augustina is someone I never knew I needed to know so much more about. Where the other books were more urban fantasy, this one has more of a cyber feel to it. But it has characters you remember from the previous books and ties in quite nicely to the series. It made me strongly think of the original Blade Runner, which is one of my absolute favorite movies. The story is so complex, there is so much going on which makes it even better. You learn so much about St Augustina, both her past and who she is today.

A wonderful story with endearing characters and an amazing story, I very highly recommend this book and series.

CultCult by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Cult (Feisty Lawyers Series #3) by Seelie Kay, 5 stars.

There is a cult that has been travelling the college campuses, preying on the delights of college kids. They offer sex drugs and rock and roll. Their charismatic leader says just what these confused kids want to hear. But then college kids start missing. Is it related to this cult? When the agents of our favorite covert operations are called in, they have to investigate every lead. But this just may go much deeper than they had ever imagined. Can they find the missing? Are they really in danger? When one of their own disappears, they quickly learn just how bad things really are….

This series gets better with every book. The agents are once again going undercover, but the mission is completely different from ones before. The story pulls you in from the beginning and you cannot stop until you finish the book. All of the characters are great too. Each and every one of them has grown throughout the series and that is quite apparent in this book. Even the ones who are not the main focus have learned things the hard way and have grown from it. But they are still are learning as they go too. The bond between these people are strong, as well as their fight to do what is right to protect others. This book fits in seamlessly in the series and picks up after the last book. You can probably read this as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the other two first. You can understand the characters better that way, in my opinion.

If you enjoy a great suspense book with some fun and romance thrown in, this book and series are for you.

Behind Blue EyesBehind Blue Eyes by C.S. Duffy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Behind Blue Eyes (Stockholm Murders Book 1) by CS Duffy, 4 stars.

London girl Ellie has met the man of her dreams. Johan is a Swedish god who seems to think she is his everything. So she gives up her life in London to move to Sweden with him. In a strange country, where she does not speak the language is quite a culture shock for her. But she has Johan. Or does she? His past seems much more shadowed than she thought. Plus his friends seem to be quite important to him. Not to mention the dead body Ellie finds. When it looks like Johan may be guilty, the investigative side of Ellie kicks in and she is determined to find the truth. Is he the man she can love or is she in a horrible nightmare?

This a great whodunit with the main character being someone in a strange land with strange (to her) people. Not to mention the romance side of things. You really feel for Ellie the entire time. And the author makes us question everything about everyone until the end. I love that in this type of book. The story is riveting and reminds you of an Agatha Christie novel. Ellie steps in as detective, questioning everyone, literally and figuratively. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read more in this series.

If you enjoy a good murder mystery with romance and suspense, I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Jake the Growling Dog: A Children’s Book about the Power of Kindness, Celebrating Diversity, and Friendship by Samantha Shannon, 5 stars.

Jake is a kind, fun dog but doesn’t have any friends. He’s different than other dogs. Can others understand and accept his differences or is he always going to be alone? Maybe there are others out there who understand…

This is a wonderful children’s book showing how others can be different, but should be accepted too. The images are fun and go along well with the story and the story itself is fun while also teaching children a lesson. Jake is a great main character and would love to see him in other books.

I think the author did a very good job with this book and highly recommend this for young children.

I give Dracones Guardian: Dark Dragon by Sheri-Lynn Marean, 5 stars.

Zander spent many years as a warrior archangel in heaven. When he is sent to earth to keep the fallen in line, the one thing he never thought possible happens — he finds true love and starts a family. But his happiness does not last long, he knows he will never love another woman, so he puts all his focus in his children. When he happens to meet his new neighbor — a human female — he starts to feel things he has not felt in a long time. But he had his one true love. Besides, he doesn’t want to put this fragile human in danger. When events happen, she just may be in peril. Can he find love again? What about the enemy that swears to defeat his kind? Can they all live happily ever after? Is there such a thing?

This was an amazing book! I assumed it was your typical paranormal romance, but I was so pleasantly surprised. There is so much going on in this book. The action, the suspense, the grief, plus happiness and love — it is all there. And the characters are incredible!! Not just the main ones, but the cast of secondary characters are just as great. I hope to learn more about them in future books.

This book has some heavy scenes and romance, but it is such a well-rounded book the if you like urban fantasy, you will be hooked. I cannot wait to read the next in the series and highly recommend this book.

I give Beachcomber Enemy: a Romantic Thriller (Beachcomber Investigations Book 10) by Stephanie Queen, 4 stars.
*This review may contain spoiler from previous books in the series,*

Dane and Shana are back and the excitement starts with a bang, literally. When their beach shack explodes, Dane knows it’s personal. It was an expert job and the perpetrator wanted them dead. But they refuse to run, they will get to the bottom of it. But when it looks like Shana is in danger, Dane swears to protect her and not let her get in the middle of it — the exact opposite of heat Shana wants to do. Can they catch who is doing this before there are fatalities? What will the consequences be for Dane and Shana’s relationship?

This book fits right in with the rest of the series. It is not a very long book, but there is much going on. There is a struggle both with stopping the bad guy and between two people who love each other. Not to mention some of the characters you have grown to love are back to. I could not guess where the book was going next, and I love that about a book.

If you like your suspense with a bit of romance thrown in, this book is for you.

Edge of the Storm: Book 2 (Silent Secrets)Edge of the Storm: Book 2 by Lisette Kristensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Edge of the Storm: Book 2 (Silent Secrets) by Lisette Kristensen, 4 stars.

This is the story of Blackbird, a rookie trainee in the Mossad. She left a life that was completely different from this, knowing most women do not make to the end of training. But she is determined. She’s tired of the lies and deceit from her past life.

After finally making it through, her first assignment is with a fellow agent she respects, Halo. When things go terrible wrong a Halo is taken right in front of her, Blackbird knows she needs to be part of the operation to rescue Halo. She will not fail her partner.

This is a very short story filled with a lot of action with a bit of romance thrown in. The action starts pretty quickly and does not stop until the end. A story of the good guys trying to taking down the bad guys and what has to be done in order to succeed. It also showcases not one, but two very strong female characters in both Blackbird and Halo. I highly recommend this book.

Maia enjoys her life as a professional eater. When she ends up winning a spot in the finals, she also gets a week complimentary stay at this fine hotel. Little does she know just how much it will change her life. She meets three sexy Egyptian men at three different times while staying there. She is drawn to them, but that is crazy, she can’t be drawn to three men, can she? Maybe it is her long ignored libido working overtime. But there are more to these men than she can imagine. They are also inexplicably drawn to her. When they find out that she is in danger, each one is drawn to protect her. But can they save her? And what is really going on?

I would label this a paranormal reverse harem series with action and suspense thrown in. Maia is unlike any character I have seen before and I love that! She is a wonderful character who shows her flaws along with her strong points. The story is also the likes of which I haven’t read before. There is plenty to keep you interested and some surprises along the way. Oh, and did I mention a cat that can speak telepathically? I cannot wait to see where the next book in the series takes us.

If you enjoy these types of books along the Egyptian mythology side of things, this book is for you.

*This review contains spoilers from previous books in the series.*

Tandi is now a vampire. Yes, it is what she wished to happen in case of her death, but she has no idea how to cope. She has been moved away from the only place she knew, and is far from her best friend. She knows it’s for the best and only temporary, but still. Not to mention that she seems to be a horrible vampire, she can’t do anything right. She even has the hot vampire prince to train her. He is sexy as hell she has an attraction to him but he doesn’t seem to have any interest. What is she supposed to do?

When another vampire faction attacks, she realizes just how serious this impending war really is. She gets down to business and decides to help the good guys. Can she become what is expected of her? There are many who will do anything to get in her way, but she is now determined. Little does an she know just how much she will learn about herself on the way. With the help of her friends, just maybe things will work out.

I loved Tandi in the previous book and was so happy to see her as the main character in this book. She is just as girly and spunky as I remembered too! She makes such a great lead. But she has faults too, which makes her even better. She learns a lot and quickly adapts throughout the story. The other characters in the book are great too. Note to the author: I really what to see more of Tracker in upcoming books, her was so my favorite secondary character! The story itself is interesting and pulls you in. There were many twists and turns that I did not see coming. There was action, along with romance, heartache and even humor thrown in to make a complete story. It can be read as a standalone, but you will know more if you read the previous books first.

If you like paranormal romance or urban fantasy with a great story and characters, this series and book is for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Past Storm and Fire by Christy Nicholas, 5 stars.

Val has been dealing with a lot in her life — a devastating hurricane, a failing marriage, and a boss she cannot stand. To escape, she decides to write a historical romance set in past times in Iceland. The more she gets into, the more she enjoys — it’s her escape. But is it really good for her or is it destroying her real life? Follow the stories of both Val’s real life and the characters and life she created in one wonderful book!

I didn’t know what to expect from this book. I have loved previous books by this author but am not too big on the jumping back in time thing. The more I got into this book, the more I enjoyed it. The parts set back in Iceland pulled me in immediately and I could not wait to get back to these parts of the book. The modern day time frame (set in the 90s) took me a little while to get into. Personally I found the characters annoying. That being said, I believe that is the point — it shows us just how much Val is not enjoying her life. The book within a book is a great concept to me, too. I would readily read this type of book again. Let’s face it, the author has basically given us two books in one, and has managed to do a superb job at telling both stories.

I highly recommend this book to lovers of historical fiction, romance, and lovers of really good stories.

I give Death and the Crone: Book Three of the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie, 5 stars.

Margaret has had a rough life. She’s now in her late 60s, has lived on the streets for many years, and has given up on life. She has outlived many of those she’s known and cannot wait for this hell to be over — she’s tired of her demons following her. When a beautiful young man takes her off the streets and offers for her to stay with him, she’s sure he’s taking her home to have his fun then kill her. But the promise of food and a warm place is just too tempting. And as time goes by, he doesn’t try anything but to make her comfortable and happy. Turns out this man is more than she ever imagined. Can she find a happiness that she lost a long, long time ago? If so, at what cost?

This series had me hooked from the beginning and this book is no different in that aspect. This book is considered a spin-off, we don’t see too much of most of the characters from the previous books, but the setting is the same. The main characters in this book though are just as interesting. This combination is not something I have read before. I read this genre quite frequently and I love that the author threw something different at me. The story itself is good too, Margaret struggles with the way she has been living vs what she has now. There is mystery in this man too — she knows there’s more to him and her curiosity gets the better of her. She takes us on the road of discovery with her. The story grabs you and pulls you in, not to mention some surprises along the way. This book can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend the whole series.

If you are a fan of urban fantasy and/or paranormal romance, this book is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Drawing Bloodlines (The Princeton Allegiant Series Book 1) by Deborah Garland, 4 stars.

Elizabeth isn’t feeling too well after she’s had blood drawn at her doctor’s office. Feeling nauseated, she opens a door to what she thinks is the bathroom. Instead she finds the sexy doctor who just drew her blood and sees the unthinkable — he’s drinking her blood!!! Surely she is just hallucinating. This leads her learn that vampires are real. But can this sexy vampire fall for a woman like her? The answer appears to be yes, but the odds are against them that they will be able to make this relationship work. Can their feelings overcome all of the obstacles before them? What happens when danger comes knocking on their door?

This is a hot and steamy paranormal romance between a human and a vampire. To be honest, the beginning of the book shows the conflict with a human and a vampire being together. If you have read this genre before, you may have read similar. But the second half of this book is what really makes this story. There is plenty of action and things happening I can’t say I have read before. Without giving it away, the scientific side of things is spectacular. Alexander and Elizabeth are great characters — they both have their flaws and issues they bring into a relationship. This makes them relatable. The secondary characters are great too. We don’t see too much of them but my interest is piqued and I hope to read more about them in future books.

If you like your paranormal romance hot and steamy with some action thrown in, this book is for you.

Charlie is afraid she’s losing her mind. Weird things have been happening since she was young, but they have been escalating lately. Now on top it off, two hot strangers are in town vying for her attention. They both say they can explain what is going on with her and help her. But which one can she trust? And is there more to the story? She doesn’t realize just how much she will learn about a world she didn’t even know existed. What will she do when those she loves are threatened? Can she become what is expected of her?

This is the second book in the series. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading book one first because it is also so good. The characters are wonderful. They are real and funny, but serious when they have to be too. Charlie has a lot to learn quickly and she takes it on without complaint. The story is so enthralling. Once I started, I could not put the book down. Plus there were some twists thrown in that I did not see coming. This made it even better.

I highly recommend this book and cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Sadie is a high school senior living in a community of witches. The only thing is, she’s a null — no powers at all. Then all of the sudden strangers show up in her town and weird things start happening. People are suddenly out to get her, telling her how powerful she really is. Crazy things start happening, a man who claims he is a werewolf is so hot he’s to die for, and she learns things are not really as it seems. Can she trust this good looking man? Can she help them? Is she really this powerful? Seems like her senior year won’t be as boring as it seems.

This is a young adult novel only because of the age of the characters. But thankfully, it does not include any of those whiny teenagers that tend to plague some YA books. Being that I am far from being a young adult anymore, this is a blessing to me. The characters are fun, real, and great. I hope to see more of them in future books. The story itself is very interesting and pulls you right in. There are twists and turns that keeps you on the edge of your seat too.

Overall, I found this a very entertaining and exciting book to read and I highly recommend it.

Orlagh has been the seer to her tribe for a long time. Battling with a king who refuses to follow thru on her visions is only one of her worries. She is an old woman and must find an heir to pass her magical brooch to. This begins her on a journey in which she explores many things, both good and bad. Will she find this heir? Or will her life end tragically? There are many obstacles she faces along the way and she is no longer the young woman she once was. But she has her visions, her wits, and her friends. Perhaps all will be fine….

This series is incredible and each book I read amazes me at the wonderful story the author weaves. Each book is incredibly different, yet they each tie into one another. Orlagh is such a wonderful lead character. A strong woman, she knows what she must do and does what has to be done. The secondary characters are also wonderful. I hope to see more of them in future books.

If you like a story of myth and magic expertly written, this book and series is for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Love and Ghosts (Crescent City Ghost Tours) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.

Leading a pretty dull life lately, Emily takes her best friend up on a dare — to kiss a guy at the charity ball they are both attending. She finds the perfect masked stranger and decides to go for it. Besides, it’s not like she will ever see him again, right? Sean communicates with ghosts and runs a haunted tour company in the heart of New Orleans. When the gorgeous mystery women kisses him at the ball, he tries desperately to get more information from her. Will he ever see her again?
Fates seem to throw them together, but she does not believe in ghosts or want anything to do with them. But supernatural forces may think otherwise. Can Sean help Emily solve the puzzle as to what is going on? Can he get her to believe in what he does or are they destined to be alone?

I really enjoyed this book and it promises to be a great, exciting series. Sean was actually my favorite character in this book, mostly because he can communicate with ghosts. I would love to see more of him using his abilities in future books. All of the characters are great though — they feel very real. And the story itself is good too. It was unlike what I was expecting and that is a good thing. I like to be surprised by what I’m reading.

If you like your romance with suspense and a supernatural twist, this book is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Blinded by Betrayal with Spin Drift: Book One (Silent Secrets) by Lisette Kristensen, 4 stars.

Sloane is in a spot. Her husband turned rat on her and her family. Now that same family will want her dead. She knows the rules, but she didn’t cause this. Now she has to run for her life. On the way, she runs into an old friend who promises to help. He shows her a world she never dreamed of belonging to. But part of her knows that this is for her. Can she make it in the world of espionage?

This book is actually two stories in one, the second, being a short story. This book is incredible to me in that it takes steamy, erotic romance and mixes it with the suspense/spy world. It works so well too. The characters are interesting and believable. I really like Sloane and hope to read more about her. The story is quite interesting too. What do you do when you don’t really have a choice? Sloane is put in difficult situations, but she is a survivor. This crazy, unreal world is not something she envisioned to be her life, but she thrives just the same.

If you like stories with strong female characters and suspense which hot and steamy romance thrown in, this book is for you.

Heels Of Fortune (PJ Santini Series Book 2)Heels Of Fortune by Lynne Russell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Heels of Fortune: PJ Santini Series: Book Two by Lynne Russell, 5 stars.

PJ is back! On the heels of her previous adventure, she gets a phone call that is strange and worrisome. She is threatened and she doesn’t even understand why! Turns out that it may have to do with her deceased husband. But he was a good man, wasn’t he? Well, she may be wrong, and now her life is in danger. Can PJ, along with the help of her friends and family, get to the bottom of this? Without any more deaths?

I really enjoyed the first book in this series and was looking forward to see what the next one offered. Well this book is just as good as the first, if not better. There is everything you could wish for — murders, suspense, love of food and men, humor. PJ’s crazy family and her friends are all back for this adventure, too. The quirky characters are what really make these books so unforgettable. Then there is the story itself; people dying, a mysterious stranger threatening PJ. You will be kept guessing at what exactly is going on until the end.

If you are looking for a mystery with crazy Italian family, a main character obsessed with food, shoes, and men, and strange things going on, this book is definitely for you.

Lies Come True (Avery Hart Trilogy, #1)Lies Come True by Emerald O’Brien

I give Lies Come True (The Avery Hart Trilogy Book 1) by Emerald O’Brien, 4 stars.

10 years ago, Avery was a young teen who barely made it out of a harrowing event. She was chased by what she at the time thought was a monster. She felt she just got lucky to make it out alive. Now, other girls aren’t that lucky. The current attacks remind Avery of what she went through. She knows she has to tell someone. So she turns to a new inspector, Noah. There is something about this young woman that intrigues him. He is drawn to find out more about the currents cases. But they can’t seem to catch the attacker, and he has already killed. Can they stop this person? How many more have to suffer first? Does this have anything to do with Avery?

This was a very good book. You get drawn into the action and suspense right away. I really felt for Avery, both for what has happened in the past and in the present day. She is the main character, well her and Noah, but the secondary characters are wonderful too. They each have their own personality. The story itself is gripping and does not let go. You are left puzzling things out the whole time. I really like this in a suspense book. I don’t want to have all the answers, I like to be kept guessing. This is the beginning of what seems to be an exciting trilogy and I anxiously await the next book.

Next Door Knight (Man's Best Friend #2)Next Door Knight by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Next Door Knight (Man’s Best Friend Book 2) by Nicole Flockton, 4 stars.

Kerry is now single and having to take care of her retired, injured father. When her father’s caretaker does not show up, Kerry must find an alternative. She cannot afford to lose her job. So she does something absolutely crazy — she asks the man next door, who she barely knows, if he will stay with her father for a few hours. Amazingly, he agrees. Sure, he could be a serial killer, but her dog likes him and she is never wrong. That’s good enough, right? Oh and has she mentioned how extremely hot he is?

Caleb is on injury leave from the military. But it wasn’t just physical pain he indured. He also lost his K-9 partner too. This has devastated him and he never wants to be near a dog again. But when he meets his sexy neighbor with the dog who won’t say no, he starts feeling things he hasn’t felt in a long time. But he can’t let himself feel these things. Can he?

This was a great book. I love animals, so I was looking forward to reading this. I haven’t read a book with a therapy dog in it like this, so I was even more impressed. The characters are great — they all have their own issues, but are fun too. Not to mention Willow herself is a force to be reckoned with. The story is great — sad at times, but realistic. You can definitely see these as people you would know and love.

If you like a fun romance with a furry little friend thrown in for more adventure, this book is for you.

Reset to One (Paranormal Talent Agency, #2)Reset to One by Heather Silvio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Reset to One (Paranormal Talent Agency Book 2) by Heather Silvio, 5 stars.

This time, it’s all about the vampire Evie. We met her briefly in book one, but now we see all of her. To pass her immortal time away, she does what’s fun to her. That just happens to be acting in crazy, wonderful Las Vegas. When she happens to run into fellow actor, Ryan, there is something about him that draws her to him. Sure, he seems troubled by something, but it’s more than that. So she amazes herself and asks him what’s wrong. Turns out his good friend is being charged with murder. Evie doesn’t like to get caught up in the human drama, but next thing she knows, she is offering to help. Seems like a simple case to her. But of course things are not that easy. More is going on and just what will it take to get to the bottom of it? Oh and did she mention that her ex husband is mysteriously in town? Just what is really going on?

This is a fun, paranormal romantic mystery. If you have already read book one, you will know exactly what I mean. You do not have to read book one first, but I highly recommend it. Some of the characters from book one make an appearance in this story. This book is not very long, but just the perfect size to get to know Evie better and work to solve a mystery at the same time. Las Vegas is the perfect setting for this too. I quite enjoyed this book and Evie right along with it. New and exciting, it smoothly fits in with book one, but is still different enough to stand out on its own.

I highly recommend this book and series if you are looking for a short, enjoyable read.

Hell On Heels (PJ Santini Series Book 1)Hell On Heels by Lynne Russell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Hell On Heels (PJ Santini Series: Book One 1) by Lynne Russell, 5 stars.

PJ used to be a news reporter. Now she’s a PI, but it doesn’t pay all the bills. In order to afford her wonderful living quarters and her obsession with shoes, she does the only thing feasible to her — she goes to ask for her job back at the tv station. She ends up replacing a missing reporter, but there’s one catch — she has to find the missing reporter. That’s fine with her, she can use her PI training to help her. Simple, right? Next thing she knows, she’s in deep over her head. People and forces are at play that she never imagined. But that won’t stop this fiery red-headed Italian. She is determined to get to the bottom of it. On top of everything else, there’s her crazy Sicilian family, a cop who doesn’t want her help, and two hot men she melts for. What can go wrong?

This is a wild and crazy ride! Everything is over the top — her love of good food and good shoes, her family, her men, even the mystery itself. But that’s what makes this book so great! PJ is fun and relatable. The other characters are great too, and I do mean characters in the literal sense. Each one is so different — no bland people in this book. Then there’s the story. Funny, entertaining, surprising, sexy — it has it all. This book is meant to be fun and it highly succeeds. I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end and cannot wait to read the next one.

If you like your mysteries on the fun and crazy side, this book is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Seraphina’s Revolution (The Seraphina Series Book 4) by Sheena Hutchinson, 4 stars.
*This review may contain spoilers of previous books in series.*

Sera was hoping it was all over, but it couldn’t be that easy. Nate, the man that she loves and who keeps her darkness in check, has gone missing. He would never leave her, there must be something terribly wrong. She doesn’t know if she can take anymore. He is all that matters. But then she has some new people come into her life, say they are there to help her, she is the only one who can save the world. But what are their intentions? Are they really who they seem? Does it even matter without her love by her side?

This has been a very interesting series. Sera definitely shows us that she’s not perfect — she constantly struggles between good and evil. There are new characters introduced in this book that I absolutely loved. I really hope to see more of them, may be in their own book or series. The story is riveting too. There is so much going on, as well as a few surprises along the way to keep you on your toes. Personally, the first half of the book seemed a little drawn out to me, but that is just my opinion. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

This series has been great and I recommend this book and series to those who love paranormal books.

With the help of her new friends, it may just all be possible….

This series has been so much fun and this book continues the excitement. We are introduced to a new character, but the ones you loved from the series are back too. They make a wonderful group of people. This book is hot, amusing, and so intoxicating. It is not a very long read, but I could not put it down until I was done. Different enough from the rest of the series to be new and exciting, it fits in seamlessly.

If you enoy a steamy, humorous shorty read, I highly recommend this book.
