Joined: Book One by Mara Gan is a new series and author for me. I enjoyed the story and the characters. I also like the nod to mythology with the characters of Andromeda and Perseus. This is an intriguing story which kept me reading from beginning to end. Also, the character development is well done. I enjoyed the story also because it was was not overladen with sex and course language. This was a refreshing thing to see in a YA story which could be read by all ages. I also think this allowed the characters to develop in relationships and character because there was not only a sexual focus. I look forward to reading more in this series to see where the author takes us next.

Can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed Joined: Book One by Mara Gan. I knew from the first few pages it was going to be a worthy adventure. By the time I got to the last ten chapters I could not put it down. Nothing got done in my house until I had completed the book. I truly thought I had it figured out by the midpoint of the book. Surprise, surprise….I did not. If you are looking for a new adventure, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Tails Always Wins (Chasing Tails Book 1) by C.A. King was an original fast pace, thrilling read, that had me hooked from start to finish.
Wow, let’s just say I had this book read in one sitting, and I’m sitting here wanting, no needing more. I loved this different take on shifters and humans. It was quite remarkable and like I said, I was hooked! The detail and story telling was rich and methodical, it pulled you in, and it not only made you feel like you were there, but you felt every emotion and injustice. It was something I tell you, it’s something you have to experience for your self. I loved both MC’s and the split POV, it added a that extra something that rounded out this story and made it all the more entertaining and connecting. The plot is on point, complex and flows nicely, you can see the direction clearly, and the dark tones, just adds to the layers of magic and wonder.
Overall this book is a solid 5 start + from me, and it gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval. I’m looking forward to more books in this series!

King – Review by Emily Walsh
This is an interesting story. I enjoyed reading it and getting to know Brody and Tails. They met under precarious circumstances. Each thought they were doing the right thing. But evil is afoot and once they are aware of it will they change their path? This story drew me in at the beginning and held on til the end. Some shocking things happen when the evil rises. I liked Brody for his no nonsense attitude. I think he was working himself into a pickle just because of the bogus laws being put Into place. Luckily Tails showed up to lead him astray…..or away.
I do want to make mention of the amazing cover! Very Cool looking!

Tails Always Wins by C.A. King is the first book in the Chasing Tails series. This book is a brilliant start to yet another great new series by an amazing author. C.A. King has become, very quickly, one of those authors that I don’t hesitate to read. Half the time I don’t even bother to read the description of the book because it won’t matter what it says, I know I will like what I read. She has such a way of telling a story that I instantly get lost in her words. This book was up the usual high standards too. I felt instantly connected to the characters. I was drawn into their story and taken on an exciting journey with them. It was a well thought out, fast paced story that I flew through in no time at all. This book also has to have one of my absolute favourite covers. It is so eye catching and vivid. I loved it the instant I saw it. I cannot wait to see what is next in this series.

I loved this book,where shifters and humans clash. This is a creative story that has well developed characters that pull you into the story and made it feel real. This story takes place in a world that is full of injustice and prejudice. A breed registry is created for dogs but what will happen when they had shifters to the mix? I enjoyed watching Brodie and Tails grow throughout the story, they made great characters. What will happen when they take charge of their future? A must read!

Tails Always Wins (Chasing Tails Book 1) By: C.A. King 5 out of 5 stars
The story Tails Always Wins (Chasing Tails Book 1) by C.A. King is a wonderful shifter book. It pulled me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put the book down until I had finished the last page. It is a story that includes not only an interesting and entertaining storyline it also has 2 main characters that grew to care about with each chapter that I read. They are Brodie and Tails. Brodie is a shifter that keeps his nose clean. He doesn’t make waves. He keeps one side of himself hidden from society. He is finding it hard to stay under the radar. He then meets Tails. Tails is a woman who is strong, intelligent, and beautiful. Before she meets Brodie she never would have thought to question what she is told. What does the future hold for Brodie and Tails? Read this book to find out. There are moments that are sad, ones that are emotional, and there are times when you wonder what is going to happen next. I love shifter stories and I can add this one to my list of favorites. The author has done an amazing job of creating an awesome story with amazing characters. I highly recommend reading it.

Brodie spent his entire life keeping his nose clean and his other form hidden from society. Enrollment in an involuntarily threat evaluation was about to change everything. Failure left two choices: a death sentence or joining the fight. He had zero interest in leading a revolution, but the foxy lady at the centre of it all had him spinning in circles.
Tails spent the majority of her life learning the value of favours and how to extract them; a skill she put to good use for the cause. When a clumsy, run-of-the-mill shifter almost ruined everything, she found herself stuck on babysitting duty. In the past, questioning superiors never crossed her mind. The new addition to the pack not only turned her world upside down, but also had her second-guessing everything, including her own feelings.
Betting against them is a deadly mistake. Wherever destiny leads them, luck is sure to follow. In the end, no matter how many times the coin is tossed, one thing holds true… Tails always wins!

Joined: Book One by Mara Gan was magnificently creative and romantic. I loved Meda and Perseus. Both characters were developed well and easy to fall in love with. I also felt that the author did an excellent job on the supporting characters as well. There was enough description and backstory for several of them that seemed to help the storyline. Speaking of the storyline, I felt that it was easy to follow and had an amazing climax. Not once was I bored with it and honestly I had a hard time putting this book down. I also greatly appreciated the various artistic settings the author described in her novel. They were definitely creative and fun. I truly enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it. I look forward to reading more from this series.

What an incredible read! This is my first read by Mara Gan and what an amazing read it was! This book was an incredible take on Romance, Sci-Fi, Fantasy and even had a bit of a dystopian feel to it! I knew I would enjoy this read as soon as I picked it up 1 because of the synopsis of the read and 2 because of the cover! What a cover!
This was such a mentally visual read, I couldn’t help but feel as though I was being transported into the read as though I was there alongside the characters. I was totally captivated and entranced with this read, it held me captive and I couldn’t put it down until the very end! Mara Gan has an incredible writing style in which she creates an amazing storyline and then some brilliant characters and then along the way throws in some twists and turns that will keep you guessing till the end!

Gumshoe and the Mysterious Mushrooms is the first book in the Gumshoe Mysteries series by Laura Hawks. I was taken with this book the moment I laid eyes on the beautiful cover- and as I had read several of Ms. Hawks’ books before, and had really enjoyed them, getting this one was a no-brainer. It is a YA mystery, with is a paranormal elements, action, adventure, humour, fun, and a bit of whimsy. The story was intriguing, even though it was a little predictable in parts, and even though it is targeted towards younger readers- I still really enjoyed it. The characters are well developed, fully realised, quirky, and entirely interesting. This is a very original, fun, quick, and easy read- it has a pretty fast pace and a smooth flow- which enabled me to devour the book very quickly. Ms. Hawks has always intrigued me with her clever storylines, and this story was no different. I loved meeting Mia, but particularly Gumshoe- who really stole the show. My favourite of Ms. Hawks’ books, so far!

Love Me Dreamy: A YA Paranormal Romance with Breathtaking Twists by Laura Burton is a fantastic stand-alone Novel. I found the book to be so mysterious right from the description. I immediately knew I had to read this book to find out what was going on – what the secret was, who the men in suits were and what would happen at the waterfall. The writing back up the book straight away too. It was gripping and well written. If you are a fan of YA then you should definitely try this book.

I was pulled into this story right from the beginning and even had me sitting on the edge of my seat a few times. Ameila and Toby meet on a chance.

Fate brought them together… But the Universe is determined to tear them apart.
Sitting on a park bench, Amelia can’t remember how she got there. But when a young, Californian surfer wanders up, figuring it out doesn’t seem so important. The chance meeting leads to a date and then another. Sparks fly and although she never imagined falling in love with someone so much younger than her, he’s perfect.
That is… except for the strange men in black suits who keep showing up. Are they being followed?
Toby knows a secret, but if he tells Amelia, he risks losing her forever. With the guardians set on tearing him away from her, he whisks Amelia to another part of the world. They’re safe, but not for long. Their relationship is put to the ultimate test, when Toby and Amelia stand at the top of a waterfall. With only one chance to stay alive, he asks her to take a leap of faith. Amelia thinks they will surely die, but Toby insists it’s the only way to be together.
This YA Paranormal romance will take your breath away. If you enjoyed the Adjustment Bureau, Inception or The Matrix, you will LOVE this.
Note: No sex, swearing or accessive violence. HEA. No animals are harmed in this book.

Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms (Gumshoe Mysteries Book 1) By Laura Hawks
Gumshoe And the Mysterious Mushrooms is book one in the Gumshoe Mysteries by Laura Hawks. Ok so I struggled a little with this book, but it was by no fault of the author as this book has been written perfectly. While this is not for me the younger audience are absolutely going to love it, they will also love the pace this book moves at. The book is centred around a 15-year-old girl by the name of Mia Thomas. Not only does Mia’s teacher need to speak to her parents, her father gets arrested and she makes friends with a cat named Gumshoe. If that isn’t enough, she has the knack of talking to and understanding cats. Mia and Gumshoe join forces to try and work out what on earth is going on with her family. Will they find out what is behind her fathers arrest? And what lays before them while they try and work out the issues.

This book was great! It was about a 15 year old named Mia and her familiar Gumshoe. Mia was a fantastic MC! She is bright and spunky and kind of adorable. Gumshoe is something else that’s for sure. He is a loud, coffee drinking, obnoxious cat that helps Mia solve mysteries! They have to careful though, because the case they’re on right now might be Mia’s last one if she doesn’t watch her back! She might be able to solve the mystery BUT being able to stay alive is going to be hard… This one was a great teen read and I would like to read more by this author!

The story Joined: Book One by Mara Gan is a YA/Science Fiction/Romance book. It is a story that pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go until that final page. I loved the storyline and also the characters. The main female character is independent, strong, intelligent, and stubborn. She has a bodyguard that is overbearing and very protective of her. She also is finding herself with an attraction to him. The bodyguard is determined to keep her safe. He also feels the pull of an attraction to her. Read this book for their full story. This is a book that has action, danger, and romance. There are times when I was turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. There are other times when I was getting caught up in the romance between the main characters. This is a story that hooks you in and keeps your interest all the way through. It is a story that I would highly recommend reading.

The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano – Review by Sam Sheerin 4 stars
Soppranaturale hotel is unlike any other hotel, this is the home to supernaturals and those who wish to battle must go to the Gauntlet. The main character in this read ids the newcomer to Soppranaturale and can control the four elements, she is intelligent, fiercely independent. This is a terrific read if you love supernatural novels where they coexist for the greater good. I’m very excited to see where Ashlet takes this series. Ashley has you gripped from page one until the end.

The Gauntlet was an exciting and action packed novel that I absolutely could not put down. I was immediately drawn in with the main characters and their mention of souls mates at the start of the novel. I loved the magic and paranormal creatures in this book. They were very creative and fun. The author did an excellent job on all of the characters and their development. I also really enjoyed the storyline and found it easy to follow. This is the first book I have read from this author and I look forward to reading more. I highly recommend this book.

The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano 4 Stars
I thought this book was really cool. It was the first book that I have read from this author and I found the story to be quite original. It had vampires and fae but also several other supernaturals. The story takes place in a hotel with a hidden agenda. It’s a supernatural refuge! They live in peace while in the hotel. They only place they are allowed to fight is in the Gauntlet. The book was filled with action, mischief and love. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author.

Gumshoe and the Mysterious Mushrooms by Laura Hawks is a great YA book. I am always looking for YA authors as they tend to write the best stories. Hawks does an exceptional job of grabbing and keeping my attention throughout the entire story. I cannot wait for the rest of the books in the series. Mia Thomas is having one heck of a start to her 15th year of life, the teacher needs to talk to her parents, her father gets arrested, and as if that is not enough she has an amazing ability to talk to cats. She befriends a cat, who promptly tell her his name is Gumshoe. Gumshoe and Mia try to figure out what is happening with her family. Just watch the relationship between Gumshoe and Mia. Will they find out what is going on or will there be more problems?

Gumshoe and the Mysterious Mushrooms is the first novel in the Gumshoe Mystery series by Laura Hawks. This is my first novel by this author.
On her 15th birthday, she sets out to clear her family name after her father is arrested. Her partner is a cat named Gumshoe, who is her familiar.
This was a really good novel and very refreshing. I haven’t read much in a while so I was really enjoying this funny YA cozy mystery. Gumshoe had me laughing often while reading. He is a cat that drinks coffee and wine and tries to help Mia with the investigation. What secrets will the two uncover?
From the title, one isn’t sure what to expect but this is cute read and I am excited for the next book.

The Gauntlet by Ashley Pagano a five-star read that will stay with you. This is one of those paranormal thrillers that will astound you, it is filled with characters that will surprise you at every turn. There was a great flow to this story, Ommily and Link are great characters but I also loved how the Hotel Soppranaturale was a character all of its own the secrets, and I kept wondering if I had found all of those secrets out as I was reading. I cant wait to read more from Ashley Pagano as she shows us real talent with the writing.

The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series By Ashley Pagano. I was definitely pleasantly surprised by this very magically engaging storyline. While this is a shorter story it doesn’t lack anything I’d want, it’s got a great storyline and characters I loved. How the author packed so much into a shorter story without confusion or feeling rushed took skills. It’s well written and paced nicely never. I definitely liked the unique approach that was taken, it’s nice to see fresh ideas. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Five stars all the way and I highly recommend it. Couldn’t put this one down!
