Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I continue to enjoy this series but I have to say I think Calabrea is my favorite so far. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. When Calabrea is sent on a mission he has to work with Tansia. I really liked Tansia, she was a strong character. She also had some special gifts that she discovers that causes some questions to come up for her. There is a twist that puts her in danger, will Tansia be able to save her? Can these two have a HEA? We get so much in one story. Vampires, paranormal, and so much more. If you haven’t read the series yet I recommend starting with book one. I look forward to reading more from the series and author. 1-click and get started today.

I have enjoyed this series from the start. Each book holds its own dynamic and own unique feel. This story is of the daughters and their specific journey. Every step you feel like you are with them. Angst, drama, and a touch of love attached. Book 6 is just as amazing as the first 5.

And interesting read that was short and sweet/spicy. I enjoyed the concept and think this story line would make an killer full length novel. I really thought the author had a great thing going with the three characters. The different element with the dream soulmates was something I didn’t see coming and it was an enjoyable read! Pleasantly surprised and can’t wait to read the next book!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was not in my typical genre, however, I went into it with an open mind. All in all, I found the storyline not to my liking. It was really hard for me to stay engaged and I had to really push to finish it. The beginning of the book was interesting in the way it was set up, but it started losing me around the 10% mark. If you are into paranormal romance, then this will definitely be the book for The author’s writing style was pretty decent, though.

Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller (The Millersville series)Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shore Lodge was a gripping thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. Recently widowed, Jacklyn finds herself in a completely new world as she is abandoned and betrayed by those whom she never would have expected to commit such atrocities. This thrilling novel details her fight to reclaim what is right as she tries everything possible to right the wrongs that have been committed against her.

Honestly, this book was just WOW! I can’t even imagine having to go through the situations that were described. I rooted for Jaclyn from the moment I realized what was going to happen.

CW: descriptions of medical/psychiatric situations and isolation.

Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Calabrea is in charge of finding the traitor, Isala, and bringing her in alive for interrogation. He is prepared to do just that, until he is paired with a red-headed, vixen named Tansia. He doesn’t know what to make of her at first. She’s feisty, tough, and seems to be able to hold her own. As Tansia begins to have psychic abilities emerge, she finds that she is useful to their cause and that deep down she WANTS to be a part of the world she is helping to defend. When she’s attacked and left for dead though, can she be saved in time? Or is it too late for her to find a future with Master Calabrea?

This book was fast paced, much like the other books in this series. I appreciated how the author has Tansia work though her baggage from a past relationship and how it hinders her moving on -being honest not only with herself but with Calabrea, as well. The story ends in a HUGE cliffhanger that will have me looking for book 7! I felt like the series was ALMOST wrapped up but then I find out there are MORE bad guys?!? Definitely, looking forward to what will happen next!

I really loved this book! Although it was very easy to follow and enjoy as a stand alone novel I would suggest starting from book one. I myself can’t wait to go back and read Winter Austin’s first book in this series, The Killer In Me. I am so excited to experience all of Elizabeth’s story from the beginning. Straight For The Kill is fast paced and exciting with wonderfully thought out secondary characters and a well crafted plot! There is also a cold case involved giving this book a whole other layer! I have always loved my crime shows so I am a big fan of this unpredictable high stakes mystery! I truly felt like this book was over too soon. Highly recommended, from one mystery lover to another!

This book made me feel all kinds of emotions because it was simply so very relatable. I personally am an introvert and extrovert, and I really did feel like this book pointed out some of the things I thought and felt all through my life. The ability the author had to make me truly see her in this “made-up story” is making me realize in certain aspects, we are all working through the motions to figure out who we are. Amazing read. Thank you for creating a work that so many can genuinely feel for as it hits close to home.

This was a great start to this paranormal romance series! Tamaska is a no nonsense girl that just wants to succeed and have everything go well at her event. Kodiak was definitely not what she was expecting when she hired security for the event. She is unaware of the world around her that has vampires and shifters. So when she is thrust into that world she is not sure who she can trust. Or why Kodiak feels he has to protect her when the leader of the vampires sets his sites on her. As the secrets build, so does the momentum of the story. This one will leave you on a cliffhanger needing to know what happens next in the series!

Straight for the Kill by Winter Austin is available now in Paperback and eBook
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

Twenty-five years ago Sheriff Benoit’s best friend was murdered. While recovering from surgery members of the community begin to disappear. When Benoit’s sister goes missing the race against the clock begins.

Straight for the Kill is the third installment in the Benoit & Dayne Mystery series. Although Straight for the Kill is part of a series it can easily be read as a standalone with no confusion. Winter Austin writes deadly romantic thrillers that will not disappoint. Full of suspenseful twists and turns Austin has you sitting on the edge of your seat the entire book. Just when you thought you had the mystery figured out she throws another wrench in the plot. I am a “judge a book by the cover” kind of gal and the cover drew me in on this one but I was sold after the first few chapters. The plot was seamless, moving from scene to scene, keeping the reader engaged. I won’t hesitate in the near future to pick up another mystery written by Winter Austin.

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes, #6)The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book in the Antipodes series is different from the others as the min focus is not Cam and Freja like the previous books, however this by no means affected to quality of the author’s work. The story focuses on other characters who inhabit the same world – Caitlin and Seraphine. They are given a purpose however they are unhappy with the life that has been laid out for them so leave on their own adventure. The way this was written, much like the author’s previous books, is great. The writing flows so well and makes the world they have created more accessible and easier to navigate.
I was a little apprehensive that given my love for the characters in the previous books, I may find it difficult to relate and connect with the new characters in the same way, but I needn’t have worried. As usual the author delivered complex and compelling characters that you can’t help but get emotionally invested in.
Caitlin and Seraphine have a great dynamic and unfortunately experience their share of turmoil when they are forced to make difficult decisions which affect not only them, but the people they love. This doesn’t stop their personalities from shining through, making you fall in love with them.
I am so glad I gave this series a chance and will certainly keep my eye on this talented author for more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in the Antipodes series, and it’s been a joy witnessing the character development and world building expand throughout the series.
Cam and Freja must once again come together, but this time it’s a little different. Their children are in danger, and they must work together to protect them despite their issues with each other. Given the previous books, I didn’t see this storyline coming, but it was so good!
As usual, this is an emotional journey for the characters as well as the reader as we are drawn into their lives, but well worth the emotional torment to see how it ends. I was again able to step into the story and picture myself there alongside the characters with the descriptive language used and the easy-to-follow writing style the author has makes the experience even more enjoyable.
The character’s emotions in this book felt that much more vivid and the turmoil they feel is heart-breaking. The progression in Cam and Freja’s relationship though left me hopeful and loving the two of them all the more!

The author is very talented in both their style of writing and their ability to create an ongoing narrative which constantly leaves you guessing. I will certainly be looking out for more books by this author moving forward.

Real Movie Hero
By: Debra Parmley

I have read every single one of the Green Brotherhood so far and each one is amazing in their own way. I do want to mention that this book most definitely would work as a standalone if you have not read the others. However, I will say that this book exceeded my expectations and is by far and away my favorite thus far. Reed and Christie are amazing characters and their love story is almost fated. I loved their chemistry and how Reed is take charge and took care of Christie from the beginning, even before he knew her. I also loved how he wanted to take Christies fears and nurture her so that she would become less afraid. This was evidenced in their first date – and I have to say I absolutely loved that date. Debra left nothing to the imagination, it was so easy to imagine how both of them reacted as their date went on and how Reed worked to ease Christie’s fears. I really was rooting for them from the start. I also loved how Christie was a flawed character who was nervous to date again. I read this book in less than a day and I definitely recommend it for a feel good love story.

Another great book in the series, I’m not sure I’ll ever get bored of this author’s ability to surprise me and it keeps me hooked start to finish every time!
We once again join Cam and Freja in an impressively descriptive world which you can step into as you join the pair on their adventures. Things appear to be going well when a shocking development leads to yet another adventure in search of answers. There’s little I can say that I haven’t said after reading the previous books but wow. The world building as always is amazing and the characters are lovable and relatable, despite the hardships they face. I’ve been emotionally invested in Cam’s story since the first page of book one, and this has only increased as the books progress.
Their new journey leads to shocking answers and plot twists which leave you wanting to reach out and comfort the characters and yet you find yourself needing more which is why I am so happy there’s another book for me to dive into!
I need to know what is next for Cam and Freja and their relationship!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book features 100 different authors who are giving advice to anyone wishing to write a book. It’s a fairly simple read but full of ideas, advice, as well as struggles and challenges one might face during the process of writing and/or publishing a work of art. It’s a showcase of the good, bad, and ugly for lack of a better explanation!

If you write at all, you are a writer. These tips could potentially benefit someone who is writing a dissertation for class, someone looking to improve their writing skills, or someone looking to write a book. The snippets from the authors are generally short, but full of motivation.

The authors cover all aspects of writing from getting started, to marketing, editing, and so many other areas. One of my personal favorite lines was “write one sentence a day” and your work will grow from there. Just get started!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another great read – the third book in this series is just as good as the first two. We once again encounter Cam on his journey to seek answers. We also find ourselves with Freja again and how the two navigate this dynamic was interesting to see given their past. This was made more difficult for them by the addition of new challenges and threats to their way of life.
The way the author is able to portray the complex emotions contained within is amazing. Everything is balanced so well – the intriguing plot and the character developments work so well together to create an emotional and gripping story.
Once again Cam takes the prize as my favourite. His misfortunes have obviously affected him as they would anyone, but his journey is not over as he continues his search for answers. With the author’s descriptive writing you feel as though you’re right there with Cam as he feels his pain and understanding that things are not easy for him, even as things start to become a little clearer.
I love the way that the books follow on from each other so well. I was a little concerned that the story may begin to go stale, but the author keeps managing to surprise me in the best ways!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

* Happy Squeak!!! * I completely and thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is where I insert a giddy clapping meme. There are so many great things to love about this book. I absolutely adore how the three met and became friends, continuing that friendship for years. The wholesome connection where Cole and Charlie were big brothers to Maddie when she needed that. The tender friendship that was always there. The something more it all became.

Maddie, even at a young age, knew something was missing from her life. One night she dreamed of two boys, Cole and Charlie. Through the years, they continued to meet in their dreams, aging and growing up together, being the best of friends. Maddie didn’t understand why them or their friendship couldn’t be real. When Maddie voices her doubt about them, Cole jumps into action, bringing the three friends together. When Charlie and Maddie discover how real they are, they are free to explore the love that has developed over time. As a throuple, they face a looming darkness that threatens to tear Maddie away from them.

The joint steamy scenes were some of the classiest I have read. Beautiful, careful, sensually written, they evoke all the right feelings. I also love how the friends and family of the throuple handled adjusting to their announcement. Classy!!! Looking forward to book two!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cam’s story continues in this second book of the Antipodes series. Again, I’m so glad I gave this genre a chance, I would have missed out on this amazing series if I hadn’t.
This book we once again follow Cam’s life post-outbreak. He’s now married and working hard within his new community but once again goes on an emotional journey to find someone he loves. In this book Cam remains relatable, his reactions and emotions are believable as his adventure continues, and his reality becomes uncertain once again. He remains my favourite character, his development only goes to improve him and adds to the story tenfold.
Despite the storyline appearing to be quite similar to the first, it’s entirely different in its own way so it isn’t repetitive or boring.
Just as with the first book, I was engrossed from beginning to end and a contributing factor to this is the fact that the author writes so well. The descriptive world building and the easy to follow writing style make the emotional journey we take with Cam as he begins to question what he knows, that much more enjoyable.
I’m sure the next book in the series will be just as good.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an exciting MM romance set in the Wild West which kept me hooked throughout. Fenimore James is a rather naive dreamer when he runs away from home and goes west in order to become a famous outlaw, known as Simon Shaw. However, his imagined life full of glamorous robberies never materialises, and instead he finds himself joining the notorious Red Evans gang. He quickly finds himself in the middle of a strange and bloody game when gang members start being murdered by a mysterious pursuer, who then leaves cryptic signs scarifying their bodies. Things become more dangerous when the gang boss becomes paranoid and suspects one of his own men is the murderer. Meanwhile, Simon begins questioning his own sexuality, when he finds himself falling for a fellow male gang member. Complicating Simon’s life further are his dreams which are plagued by a bizarre dream figure, the Man In Black. This is a gripping mystery thriller with plenty of drama, suspense and violence, but also a developing MM romance. The characters and setting are brought to life by the descriptive narrative and the added historical details transported me to the Wild West.

There’s something about the way the author writes that even when nothing has happened yet, they still have you gripped and wanting more. I loved their writing style, it was descriptive whilst also feeling smooth and easy to follow.
I admit I was initially apprehensive as this isn’t my usual go to genre, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance!
I really liked the character of Cam; he was relatable from the offset. He was believable in how he overcame the struggles in the transition from his old life to his new one in a post-outbreak community. As is so often the case, just when things start to improve, something awful happens – his partner Freja goes missing. Cam sets off to look for Freja and going on his journey with him as he made connections to new people was heart-warming as he ventured out to find her but the choices he had to make, and the strength shown in his character development was emotional at times.
Much to my surprise (and delight), I found myself engrossed from start to finish, not just because of the great characters but also because of the world building produced by the author. I was able to picture myself in the world right beside the characters, travelling along with Cam as he searches for Freja.
I am so glad I gave this book a chance and have the rest of the series to look forward to!

Chatroom with a ViewChatroom with a View by Glenn Maynard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It was the killer gene aspect of this book that drew me to it as I love seeing the way psychology is used in thrillers, and I was not disappointed. The aspects of nature vs nurture were intriguing, but it was ultimately the way the characters were written which made the book for me.
The ways the characters viewed the world and how the events in their lives shaped them was extreme at times but the fact the author chose to delve into the darker decisions and aspects fascinated me and I was hooked from the first chapter. The descriptions and the emotions created an intense need to know what they’d do next.
I enjoyed how Troy was written, as although I was at times wanting to shout to him that he was making the wrong decisions, his ‘descent into madness’ was expressed very well and shown through his irrational responses.
Veronica is also an interesting character. She’s determined and hopeful to make things work. Some of her decisions irked me given her pregnancy however I can see why she was written as she was, and she does bring the nature vs nurture element I enjoyed.
I enjoyed this dark psychological thriller and would certainly read it again.

This book was absolutely incredible and the best possible way to kick start this new series. I am so pleased we are getting even more books to add to this collection and I already know they rest will be hard pushed to beat this one for me.
The chemistry and connection between the characters was amazing. It was evident on every single page and I was drawn to it straight away. And it wasn’t just the characters that was so good, the story was equally as fantastic. The combination of the two have made this book a strong contender for favourite of the year already! I would urge everyone to pick up this book today.
