Hell In A Handbasket (Life is Hell Book 3) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Heather Lovelace

Hell In A Handbasket (Life is Hell #3)Hell In A Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Valkyrie continues to impress me greatly with the care she takes in crafting each book and creating a world that you dive headlong into and feel part of. Because of the character development that carries over, even though these books stand well on their own, I cannot stress how much more enjoyable the reader will find the experience if taking it in series order. Quite frankly, with Valkyrie’s gifted pen, I’m not sure anyone wouldn’t rush to pick up the rest if they started out of order. Regardless, the character development and world building in this book were fantastic. If you fancy not-your-average paranormal romp, this book is most definitely for you. I know these characters are dear to the author for the care she took in each page. And that care made me care. Masterfully done! I cannot wait to read the next book!

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III. I’ll be completely honest I was a little surprised by this book I really got drawn in and I wasn’t sure if that would happen but I was so glad to take the leap. This is an author I’ve read before but this may be the one I’ve liked the most so far. The characters are complex and de well developed. The storyline had me on the edge of my seat more than once I wasn’t expecting the twist and turns and I loved every minute. The storyline is engaging and unique, I found myself completely hooked. It may be smaller in pages but there’s a depth to this book that makes it seem longer in a good way. Four big stars and highly recommended.

Killer Blonde by Allan Evans. This is a new author to me and I’ll definitely be looking for more. This was a great thriller.

Definitely found myself watching something fluffy after the journey we get to go on in this thriller that had me reading well into the night. I can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer.

At All: Adams Brothers: Book 3 by Mindy McKinley. These books just keep getting better and better and I can’t get enough. This one may just be my top pick but hey don’t tell the others ok. Because they are really great also , so make sure you read each one. But this one just spoke to me in a different way and I was so sad when I reached the end. I honestly wanted this book to go on forever and I’d have been there for it. The characters are complex and relatable, they pulled me into their world and I was happy to go along for the ride they took me on. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. This author definitely knows how to keep me coming back for more and I’m excited to see where we go next. Five stars all the way and highly recommended

  1. Broody. That’s the prefect word to describe Stormy. He’s very mistrusting of anyone and his attitude makes him unlikeable. You learn Stormy’ s back story here. While we know he deserted the club, this history of his gives you a peek as to why he did it. Cat is the prefect anecdote for him and their story will rock your socks off!!View all my reviews

This was a really good book! It’s book 3 of this series And I would recommend reading these in order so you get the dynamic and the who’s who in the story, but also they’re great books!
We’ve met both main characters in previous books but I’m glad we get to be in their heads, as Teivel has been a mystery to me.
What do you bet when a demon and a demon hunter fall in love? Well read this and find out, you won’t regret it. Kept me hooked page after page. And I really can’t wait for the next in the series!

Is This Me (Book One of the Being Me series) by Tricia Copeland was a really good read! I was instantly grabbed into the story straight from the beginning. The characters were great and relatable just like the story was. It felt almost like a soap opera though, with all the drama throughout the story. Some parts of this novel dragged and felt difficult to get through, but for the most part this was a very good read. It was definitely entertaining! I can’t wait to read the next installment to this series!

The third book in the series, “Hell in a Handbasket” follows Teivel and Oren as they try to solve the mystery of an adorable hybrid baby. A demon with an attitude and a deputy with demon hunter heritage… Both inexplicably drawn to each other.

This was a fast-paced, satisfying read with fun characters with LGBTQ relationship dynamics. It is so great to see more of these characters and storylines! Such a great read!

Rebecca Remains by Jessica Aiken-Hall – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Rebecca RemainsRebecca Remains by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow! This book had me on the edge of my seat from the first chapter! Jessica Aiken-Hall starts by introducing us to our heroine Tessa, her husband Keith, and Tessa’s sister Emily, and starts to weave in all the ways in which Tessa might be in danger. When the ghost appears to her, Tessa is forced to question her marriage, her husband, and ultimately, everyone in her circle. Emily helps her to realize her unique gift, and she struggles to learn how to use it. As the mystery continued, I found myself increasingly wanting to shout at Tessa: “Don’t trust them! No, don’t go there! Watch out for this!”.

The authour is fantastic at creating intrigue and eliciting emotions in the reader. I was quite invested in the story, and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. It also became a more robust tale than I initially thought at the outset. There was more at stake than it seemed, as mysteries from the past wove together with the immediate dangers to Tessa.

Some of the heroine’s characteristics and insecurities made me groan; she has a different outlook on life and love than I believe most women have in the 21st century. I think though that part of her journey was having to examine some of these mindsets, and make an informed choice about what she wanted her life to look like going forward, and who she might move forward with. That is, if she can unravel the mystery fast enough, and survive whoever is plotting against her!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hell in a Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie is the third book in the Life is Hell series. Let me tell you that you need to pick up this series. This can be read as a standalone book but would be much better enjoyed read with the other books in the series. The characters have grown and changed as the series has progressed. I really enjoyed this book and the stories keep getting better and better. This book focuses on the character Tievel. At first, I wasn’t overly excited because I wasn’t fond of him, but now that I have gotten to know him better I am a fan. The author gives a fantastic story and made me see how he fits into the greater storyline. I look forward to reading more in this series soon as each book sucks me in more and more.

Nobody KnowsNobody Knows by Kyra Lennon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one story that really drew me in! The writing flowed so nicely that I couldn’t help but get involved with these characters. The author did a good job of having me live in the present while periodically taking me on a trip down memory lane. That made me love and care about these three friends. This triangle they have is a tough one. Ellie seems to be in the push and pull between the boys no matter how hard she tries to not be there. It’s a tough spot to be in. She cares for both but hurts one when she pays attention to the other. This is quite a journey for her as well.

Overall I loved it. Getting to know these three is as easy as hanging out with my bestie. The story is a short portion of their lives but yet I feel like I have known them their whole lives. This is a great story and I look forward to more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Mystery of the Lost Avenger by Linda Maria Frank is a captivating story about a young woman in the midst of WWII and an intriguing plot to solve. This book has everything you could possibly want. It is well developed with a story that you can’t help but try and solve. I was pulled in to it immediately and had to keep reading until I knew what happened. There was a great mix of historical fiction and intrigue that I thought was really well combined.
This is still a relatively new author to me but I am enjoying the writing style in her books. They all seem to have interesting characters and strong storylines to go with them. After reading this book I will certainly be checking out more of her work.

Coyote SummerCoyote Summer by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Coyote Summer by Laura Koerber is a coming of age story that explores a whole range of topics. It is all centred around Ben, a privileged student who is trying to navigate some difficult situations. I thought it was interesting that I really didn’t connect with this character – or particularly like him – and yet he was exactly the right character for the story. His perspective made the story feel more real.
There were parts of the book that felt a bit disjointed. For me the supernatural element didn’t really feel necessary or particularly relevant. However the overall story was interesting and definitely held my attention. I liked how it explored the darker side of growing up how to deal with difficult and dark situations. This book is definitely one worth reading.

Love at First Haunt: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After Book 1)Love at First Haunt: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love at First Haunt is the first book in the Haunted Ever After series by Carrie Pulkinen. As a fan of the author I was looking forward to starting this series. The story follows Allison, a psychic and ex ghost hunter who is now terrified to return to her previous role due to a teeny mental breakdown and Logan, who was recently crowned Detroit’s most eligible bachelor, and due to his own internal battle is very happy with that title. Logan is not looking for a girlfriend and is happy keeping himself to himself in his new (albeit haunted) house until he meets Allison and is stuck by their instant connection, although his resident ghost does not seem pleased with this. This was a really enjoyable story, I loved the idea of two gifted people finding each other and helping to fight each others metaphorical demons. I am really looking forward to diving in to the second book in the series.

This is the second book in the Broderick Coven Series. So, you will want to read book one first. Just going to say that the story held my attention from the very first page. I could not put it down. It is very exciting and captivating especially with all the twists and turns. The plot-line is engaging.

Serena is a high priestess and in charge of a local coven of witches. The coven is in need of an oracle. Ethan has learned he is an oracle and seeks help from Serena. So he joins Serena’s coven and becomes their oracle. An attraction sets off between the two the longer they continue to work aside each other. Ethan’s visions take a disturbing turn and danger soon approaches.

If you love the witchy, magical, paranormal, romance reads, you will definitely want to read this series. I loved this book and can not wait to see what will come next in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Cursed Sight” was a great novel to read if you like magic, romance, and thrill. I wish I had read the first book first, however, the story was still able to be followed and the characters known without the first book. The characters were well developed and had a great dynamic between them. I look forward to reading the first book in the series, and the next one that comes out this year. The author’s writing style is comfortable to read and it entices you to come back for more. This book kept me on edge. And to be honest, most books I read are predictable. I loved that this one was not. If you enjoy family dynamics, unwavering love, and awesome witch magic, I would suggest you read this book.

Capturing Fate (Fatal Truth, #2)Capturing Fate by Abbie Roads
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When your job is mainly based on instincts and you then start doubting it, can you carry on and find the evil that you are trying to find.

Dolan Watts is an FBI agent with a history but that history pushes him to be able to understand the minds of some of the evilest criminals until now. This new case is different and will he be able to push back the physiological aspect and get on with his work but this one likes to mind games so he needs to ask for help but will he be able to keep it professional.

Daughter Dawson is a psychologist and once she meets Dolan, she then is compelled to help him although this man could destroy the walls she had built up for so long. Can she keep the distance and stay professional or will the lines blur and they become too close to find this mind-bending killer?

I love a good psychological thriller and this one ticks all the boxes. The story twists and turns into areas you did not think would take you. The characters were well developed and complemented each other brilliantly and with the similar backgrounds they both had it draws you into the story and the characters and gets you fully immersed into the story from the beginning.
This book can be read as a stand-alone story but I found reading the first book Saving Mercy a great stepping stone into the wonderful world and mind of Abbie Roads. I can’t wait to get stuck into more books by this wonderful author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book didn’t grab me right from the first page. The first few pages had
Me a bit confused at first. There were so many characters and so couldn’t keep it straight. That quickly changed. This book was well written and the characters were great!
Ellie grew up next door to brothers, Jason and Drew. All 3 of them were basically best friends but Ellie and Jason were always closer. They even dated for a while. There is a lot of history between this group of friends but Ellie was always right there rooting for them no matter what they went thru. Now, years have passed and the guys start up a group “Razes Hell”. They play small gigs until Derek decides it’s time to push it into the big leagues and things just start to spiral. There’s a lot of lies and even more heartache throughout this book. However I really liked this book.
The author did an amazing job keeping the reader interested. Great storyline.
