Beelzebub: The Gift of Glutony (A Sinful Seven Novel) by JC Brown & Lena Lane – Review by Jenni Bishop

Beelzebub The Gift of Gluttony (Sinful Seven, #2)Beelzebub The Gift of Gluttony by J.C. Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

He is delightfully sinful but then again gluttony is his sin. He is one of the Seven Princes of Hell. Angels and Demons are on the verge of war. Demons are out in full force in this paranormal, romance story.
This delightful tale is unique and a pleasurable different read for a change. The characterisation and world building are done so well you are drawn into the shenanigans.
It is flirty and fun as we journey along whilst this demon shares what most can’t resist. That is until he comes across her. She is one he is determined to have. She has made him feel.
Now she is fighting for her soul and pulling out all the stops to resist his gluttonous ways.

The Traveler: Book 2 by Deborah Dugan – Review by Melissa Saxton

The Traveler: Book 2The Traveler: Book 2 by Deborah Dugan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Enter Science Fiction into a story about a “being” who has long periods of stasis and changes form every times he comes out of stasis and learning new things like language inter species communication.
Follow an evolving society while Harry sleeps in stasis as humans continue to progress.
I enjoyed Harry got to come back to Tristan but I was annoyed with Elena’s response to finding a talking bug…big…. its a talking bug and you want to take a nap?!?Who does that?

Elena inevitably gets pulled into a crazy adventure with Harry and is far more accepting of what he is, even if Harry & Tristan do not fully understand.

All in all a good science fiction/fantasy. I admit I did not read book 1 that would probably have filled in the gaps for me.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was amazing. Even I feel that is an understatement. There was so much character growth and things hidden beneath the surface of this book and the author’s writing was enticed, shocked, and sucked in completely, body and soul! I could not get enough in any shape or form

What I loved most was reading and learning on who and what Beelzebub is. He was a demon yes but alone with his power this was much more to him. Learning of the other’s like him was very intriguing as well. Personally I loved Clara. I identify as a empath myself so it was nice having a character to read on that I could relate to on a personal level. The story takes off quick, and the darkness of Beelzebub really came to light. I was enticed all the way through. I had trouble setting this one down. it was so good. The writing and story line was beyond amazing. I cant wait to read about the other powerful demons!

Freaking good read that I very much enjoyed! I highly do recommend this book, it was a quick read for me, and I was amazed and mesmerized as I read through. Cant wait to read more by this author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this paranormal romance story. This is a well written story that is not only full of action but romance as well. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters as they make the story come to life. They are connectable and keep the story engaging. This is a fast paced story that kept me coming back for more. I enjoyed the growth of the plot that made the story easy and entertaining to read. Beelzebub is a demon who finds a human, Clara, interesting. She has a gift of empath but the problem is the more she helps people the weaker she becomes. Now these two are faced with saving her soul and with a war brewing they may just be in for a bigger fight than they realize. I enjoyed their chemistry and growth throughout. They made the story fun and interesting for me. I really enjoyed what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a book that I enjoyed a great deal as it was in the view of the demon, but he is not an ordinary demon. He is one of seven and they are all super powerful. He is to tempt the people with gluttony. I liked when it showed that he was tempting people and it also went into detail about their guardian angels working to not let them be tempted by him. He looks for people who have already been touched or tempted by the other of the seven deadly sins as this makes his job of tempting people that much easier. This was a book that surprised me and had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what I would read next and see where this went. I cannot wait to read the other books in this series!

Return of the Elf Lord (Kingdom of the Elf Lords Book 1) by Heidi Vanlandingham – Review by Audrie Harrington

Return of the Elf LordReturn of the Elf Lord by Heidi Vanlandingham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have never read a story like this. It is fantasy but also historical fiction as it mixes magic and mythology with the destruction of Pearl Harbor. I’m glad the author put a glossary in the beginning of the book because I needed to reference names and places as I read. The characters drew me in and I wanted to learn their stories. Alva didn’t grow up with her queen mother or sisters but comes back when trouble arises. She is a Huldra who uses the male life force to live. Alva went against the norm and did not kill her partner, but helped him win a war. Bernard, a resistance soldier, is grieving the loss of his family and is willing to do anything to bring them back. Bernard changes one event in history which alters the fate for all. He knows one small change can make a difference in the future so now he has to go back and fix it with the help of Alva. Something seems to be working against them and Bernard and Alva need to figure it out so they can change the past and put the timeline back right.

This book was surprisingly good. It was a story about Gods and elves but they seemed so real and approachable somehow. Reading Bernard’s story was intriguing and interesting. The story had some twists and turns that kept me interested as I tried to figure out how it would end. This is the first book in a series and I am looking forward to reading the next book.

Dahlia is back! And Creed finally knows about her! Which brings a new dynamic to their interesting relationship. In Nite Fire: Slash & Burn Dahlia is on a mission to save the realms that are crumbling. Portals between realms are opening that aren’t supposed to. This Dahlia attempts to save as many beings as possible.

So what are you waiting for?
If you like supernatural and crime type mysteries, it won’t disappoint!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read out of sync, started with this (book 3) instead of first book in series (kicking myself now) BUT can still be read as a standalone. I just truly loved the story, this book, would have enjoyed ALL of the adventures of main character. The story grew on me, LOVED every minute spent reading it. The plot, the characters, the adventures and drama kept me on the edge of seat. Such a fascinating YA read. Going to go back and read book one AND two NOW!! The author wrote such a wonderful story. Can’t wait to read more of their work!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great read! The writing was fantastic and I was easily drawn into the story. There was vivid imagery and I felt like I was right there in the story with the characters. I do have one complaint though. While this book is 1 of 1, it felt like a sequel. The way the book started, it felt more like a continuation of a series, and I didn’t connect with the characters. It took me several chapters to do so. So while I enjoyed this book, it took me awhile to feel that connection. I think that if the author were to write a prequel it would work a lot better. All in all I really enjoyed reading this book and I would definitely read more from this author in the future!

Immediately became action packed. This book is a jack of all trades concerning genre. This book made me consider life as to what I’m accustomed to like Van having all her needs met at island. Versus if I was thrown into something unknown like my current journey starting from scratch like Van getting thrown into the mission she is unprepared for.

Little bit confused as I did not read book 2. Anyways I felt this book was similar to Hunger Games, because being stuck in woods in a game. Difference is this one is called Jaychund games instead of Hunger games. Cameras in trees and being viewed by everyone. The similarities are quite astonishing. I still very much enjoyed reading this book. And need to go to book 2 then four.

This was such a good book! I really loved Van’s character from the beginning,  even though she was honestly considered a spoiled rich kid. Seeing how she had to choose to be a good person made this a wonderful story for me. It fit perfectly into my comfort zone of books. It has plenty of other worldly characters and places along with lots of action, heartache, trials and more. Definitely recommend this book.

This is the first book I have read by the author, so I am not familiar with the previous two books in the series. That being said, I enjoyed the novel very much. I love young adult fantasy, and ones that also include a lesson without knowing you are learning a lesson are even better. There were definite vibes to a similar young adult novel series (The Hunger Games) at the beginning of the book, but the author was able to differentiate it enough that it didn’t feel stale. And, throughout the series, there are many lessons and growth developments that the characters (but especially the main one, Val) go through and it makes it for an extremely good read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is really different from the other three in the series and is by far my favorite. Dahlia is back to her normal night time life after being trapped on Drimera for a while.The Queen is still after her so Dahlia is constantly running from and fighting the Queens forces. The blight that has been affecting all of the other worlds seems to have made its way to Earth. Dahlia is determined to eradicate the blight before it gets worse with the help of her friends of course.

On top of that, creatures that normally would not enter the portals to Earth are making their way through. Dahlia is overworked and overtired. She feels like she is running out of time.

Murders are once again happening and the clues are showing supernatural reasons. Creed asks Dahlia for her help but she already is doing too much. Can she solve the murders and destroy the blight before she herself is destroyed? You will have to read this book and if you haven’t read the other three, I would highly suggest doing so as well!

Dahlia has survived so much in her life, but the half dragon shapeshifter just keeps on kicking butt and taking names! This fourth book in the series did not disappoint, in fact it was a page turner.

Just when you don’t think Dahlia’s life can get any more complex or trying, new obstacles pop up and make things much more intricate. As always her care for the humans around her causes her to fight harder to keep her world in check. This installment brings so much action and adventure that any reader will be engrossed in the story line and hit by some surprises.

Bring on book five!

Definitely a slow start to the book, but turned out to be a great story in the end! The book was definitely not what I expected, but I really enjoyed the writers twist on history. As a huge history nerd and mythology nerd, I really loved how she incorporates both into the story, to me it reminded me a lot of the Wonder Woman movies but also was in a league of its own. The author has a great attention to detail, plus I loved the work they put into developing all of the characters. I definitely hope to read more of their work in the future!

Beelzebub: The Gift of Gluttony (A Sinful Seven Novel) by JC Brown & Lena Lane

💜 .•°*°•.💜 BOOK SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASE 💜 .•°*°•.💜
Beelzebub: The Gift of Glutony (A Sinful Seven Novel) by JC Brown and Lena Lane
Genre – Paranormal Romance
Page Count – 240
Cover Designer – CReya-tive
Beelzebub isn’t an ordinary demon. He’s one of the Seven Princes of Hell, and it’s his job to tempt humans with the delightful sin of gluttony. Jumping from host to host, he takes possession of human bodies, and savors every last bit of the experience, before leaving the body weak and broken. But there’s one who gives him trouble, a human woman named Clara. Intrigued, he tries harder. Because one way or another, he will get into her sweet, sweet body.
Clara has a gift. As an empath, she can sense other people’s emotions. It’s a gift that she’s taken to heart and uses it to make people feel better. Unfortunately, doing so leaves her drained. The more she helps others, the weaker she becomes. Then an angel appears. He tells her he’s there to help, to lend her his strength, but something doesn’t feel right. When she learns the truth about him–Beelzebub, a demon–she recommits to the light of God and banishes him from her sight.
But demons don’t go away so easily.
Both fighting for her soul, they fight with anything they can grab, be holy water, other people, or sacred objects from a time forgotten. And with a civil war brewing in Hell, will they both be pulled into a fight for something bigger?

JC Brown lives in a world where magic is real and anything is possible, or at least she likes to pretend so. She has always held a fascination for the darker side of the paranormal, like evil witches, zombies, werewolves, vampires and the fae. When her adult ADD allows, she’s able to focus and carefully craft the intricate web of imagination onto paper.

JC is an avid reader and lover of education that’s led her through many careers. From barista to graphic design, certified nursing assistant to school bus driver but weaving paranormal tales is what she enjoys the most.

As a American Cuban, family and culture are especially important to her. While writing is her absolute passion, her full-time job is Mistress of Minions to her four needy goblins. They definitely keep her on her toes. However, her hysterical husband makes everything easier with his wild, and sometimes inappropriate humor. She shares her Rhode Island home with her husband, children, and parents.

Lena has been writing since high school—though that first story will remain in the dark corners of her closet to protect everyone. After all, she writes romance, not horror. Just kidding! It’s not really that bad, but her idea of romance and love has certainly changed through time, not to mention her writing skills.

Growing up in a traditional and strict family, Lena was protected—or maybe overprotected. Books became her escape, her only avenue to see the world beyond the walls of her shelter. It wasn’t long before she realized that romance was the way to go. No matter how difficult the characters’ circumstances were, by the time the book ended, everything was perfect. In romance, there is always a guaranteed happy ending.

Reality was unwelcomed and Lena devoured books like people eat chips. As soon as one was done, she was on the hunt for another. When reality intruded in her life—like work (ugh!)— and reading other people’s work was impossible, she started daydreaming, creating her own stories. Now, she wants to share those daydreams and passion with the rest of the world.

After getting her own happy ending, Lena lives in a small town in Massachusetts with her husband, two girls, two dogs, and three cats, and if her eldest daughter has anything to do about it, maybe a bird in the future… She really hopes not, though. Birds are really, really loud.

Her stories have been described as cute and sweet with just enough humor to give the reader an occasional giggle.

This was another amazing book. It was so well written, and I was so happy that I was able to read this one with this series.

It was very well written, and the author knew how to keep the reader interested. I loved the writing style of the author as well. I really hope there will be more to Van and her story.

It kept me very intrigued and, on my seat, wondering what was going to happen next. With so much happening in the book it was hard not to read it or put it down. The up and downs Van has to deal with still at such a young age is just incredible and to read about how much she has grown into the strong-willed person she is, is amazing. Highly recommend this book.

This is book 4 in the series. Dahlia is still the strong woman we know and love. She is still battling creatures from Drimera trying to take her back and trying to keep Earth safe. Her new team seems to be pretty relatable. I really enjoyed this installment. I’ve been a huge fan of the series since book 1 because the author writes in such a way that you are engaged and pulled into the drama and action. Another great book that I highly recommend.

Slash & Burn (Nite Fire, #4)Slash & Burn by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The latest book in this fantastic series is full of battles, darkness, and action. The blight that Dahlia has chased since book 1 is gaining in strength and threatening the stability of all worlds, including Earth. She struggles to focus her strengths and new powers, but her progress seems to be frustratingly slower than the increase of the deadly blight. When her friends are injured, she is forced to rely on shadowy contacts that she isn’t sure how much she should trust.
This novel is back-to-back battles and excitement. Dahlia uncovers a lot of the mysteries at play in Sentinel City and Drimera, and these fuel her ability to fight against the end of civilization. Book 4 is a great continuation of this series, never a dull moment!

Vanessa “Van” is at it again on another mission. This time though she has a whole slew of regular life stuff to deal with on top of the games and the mission. But like the true hero she is she wings her way through it with a delightful outcome. I don’t know about you all but I did not see that coming!!!

Vanessa is a teenager who finds herself in an alternate reality forced to find a relic. There are many surprises in this novel but they are well placed and really bring about how this whole alternate reality came about. This story has everything I look for in fantasy novels. Action, adventure, twists and turns and most of all well developed characters. The fantasy world is super involved and so well detailed you can actually feel like you have been there. The author truly wants the readers to be satisfied that their favorite characters are handled with care and given a full experience. I laughed, I cried and yes I even yelled at the book a time or too. I am looking forward to a continuing journey in book two!
