Tangled Roots (Tangled Magic, #1)Tangled Roots by Denise D. Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tangled Roots is the first book in the Witches of Willow Creek Tangled Magic series by Denise D. Young. I really enjoyed the book, it read very quickly and kept my attention throughout.  This is one of those books that have you convincing yourself you will read “just one more chapter” because you can’t be left in the suspense of how the chapter just ended! I have always been drawn to the paranormal but when it comes to books, paranormal or paranormal romance genres are something I’ve only dabbled in. Denise B. Young’s writing left me craving and looking forward to reading more.  The writing was descriptive enough to paint a vivid picture without going overboard and the characters had great depth. 4 out of 5 stars for me, can’t wait to read more by this author!

Least Likely Suspect-Revenge

5 out of 5 stars

I’m not sure what I was expecting from this book but it wasn’t what I got, it FAR surpassed my expectations.
While holding true to the suspense genre, this story really toyed with my emotions and felt deeper than I expected. It kept my attention throughout and the characters were realistic and in many ways, relatable. I think I enjoyed Micah’s character the most and genuinely appreciated the caring, familial feel to how the characters were written, despite being “secret, real life superheroes”. I would love to read more by this author in the future.

The Murders of Lillian RossThe Murders of Lillian Ross by Sirena Van Schaik
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sirena Van Schaik is an author I hadn’t heard about before but knew I had to read when I stumbled across the Murders of Lillian Ross. I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into but as I so often find when I explore new (to me) authors,, I wasn’t disappointed. I have been incredibly lucky lately to read a few thrillers that are so good they stick with you long after the story is over. This book was one of them. I loved everything about it, honestly, but mostly how it was formatted. I loved the way the 911 call and court transcripts were intertwined in the writing. I felt like the Murders of Lillian Ross played out like a movie in my head from start to finish.
Definitely a 5 star read for me and I would love to read more from this author.

House in the WoodsHouse in the Woods by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There are a handful of authors that I don’t even care what their book synopsis says, I know I am reading the book regardless. Jessica Aiken Hall is definitely one of those authors. I found myself intrigued by House in the Woods from the very start but one of my favorite aspects that truly sucked me in was how she tied Tom Petty into the book. From reading this author in the past, I remember how much Tom Petty and his music had made an impact on her life and I really appreciated that it was woven subtly into the storyline pretty quickly. As a NH girl, I love reading books set in towns or states that are local to me, and the fact that the author lives in my home state also earns bonus points. I struggle to talk about the actual book and storyline. The imagery is dark and realistic, I could see the story in mind’s eye as it unraveled and the characters were realistic and even relatable. The storyline flowed from start to finish and it was a ride.
5 glowing stars for Jessica Aiken-Hall and House in the Woods. Once again, looking forward to more from this author.

Moonlit Kiss: A Venice Romance (Moonlit Destination Series)
Amy McKinley
4 out of 5 stars

If Amy McKinley wrote it, I am going to read it! I definitely enjoyed Moonlit Kiss but I would be lying if I said that it didn’t take me a bit to get into. Now, don’t get me wrong, I can’t think of a single thing wrong with this book which is a prime example of why I will read anything by this author. I think I just have an attachment to her Gray Ghost series!
Moonlit kiss had a lot of great supporting characters that made the story for me! The imagery is enough to transport you on a vacation and once I let myself be transported, I didn’t want to put the book down.
Another win for Amy McKinley, 4 out of 5 stars from me.

Brink of Denial (Sons of Sindicato Book 2)
By Sonya Jesus and Cam Johns
5 out of 5 stars

Where do I even start? This book was un-put-downable and I don’t even care that that is not a word! The book started of with a bang and I didn’t want to put it down since. I forced myself to read only in the evenings close to bedtime to prevent myself from neglecting my adult duties but I can’t say my sleep didn’t suffer as a result.
I struggle to form words to explain what it is I liked about Brink of Denial. It was just one of those books that played out like a good movie in my head. The writing paints such a vivid picture and there is no shortage of action or excitement through the entire novel.
I would 100 percent recommend this book, and look forward to reading more from these authors.

Sexy Drug (Losing My Heart #1)Sexy Drug by Melody Calder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sexy Drug, (Losing my Heart book 1) is the first book I have read by Melody Calder and I am so happy it is part of a series because it will not be my last! I loved that the storyline was fast paced from the first to last page and it had everything I look for in a romantic read- suspense, excitement and an element of danger. I had really hoped to connect with Katie as the story progressed but I much preferred Ramone. Admittedly, I don’t like many main female characters in the “romance” genre BUT there is something lovable about a tough guy with a soft spot. Overall, I think the best part of Sexy Drug was Melody Cader’s attention to detail, from the very first page I was impressed with the way she could describe something like pavement with such detail without making the storyline feel heavy or bogged down. I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dirty Kisses and Conflicting Wishes… isn’t the title so catchy? This is the first book in Danielle Jacks’ Kiss Me series and my first experience with this author’s writing.
This was one of those stories that hit the ground running and had me hating that I needed to put it down. The characters were fun, likeable and had great chemistry. I have a hard time connecting with female main characters in many romantic stories so this was a welcomed exception. I would give this a solid 4 out of 5 stars and would most definitely be interested in reading more from this author!

Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection book 2)
Nikki Lynn Barrett
5 out of 5 stars

I remember reading Peaceful Slumber a LONG time ago and while the details are vague in my memory now, I remember being blown away. When I found out the book is actually part of a series, I couldn’t be more excited. My only complaint after reading Sleeping Angel is that I wish I had reread Peaceful Slumber first. There were times that I just wished I remembered more about the characters but this didn’t really impact my love for the book overall. There’s not much I can say that doesn’t give the story away but I will say this book is unlike anything I have ever read before. It is unique, at times emotional and even a bit funny. The characters are lovable, even when you think they’re not. If you haven’t read Nikki Lynn Barrett yet, you’re missing out on a talented storyteller. I can’t wait to read more of this soul connections series!

CHAMELEON by Zoe Kalo – Review by Felicia Bates

/0 Comments/in /by

I used to shy away from YA novels thinking I was “too old” to enjoy what they had to offer. I dont remember when or how but I finally accepted that some of the best books I’ve read have been from this genre. I say this to tell you that when I say I loved Chameleon by Zoe Kalo, I don’t say that lightly.
I was drawn to the storyline from the very first page and stuck around for the creepy vibes and intricate characters. I would give Chameleon ⅘ stars, it was not like anything I’ve read in the past. While this was my first read by Zoe Kalo, it definitely won’t be my last!

Elusive (Billionaire Bodyguards #5)Elusive by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Romance novels, especially steamy ones, tend to be my least favorite genre. I steer away because so many plots are overly cheesy. I have read enough from Via Mari to know her writing checks off all the boxes and Elusive is no exception. Supsense, characters with depth, a storyline that you don’t want to put down. Via Mari knocked it out of the park again with the fifth book in her Billionaire Bodyguards series. 4 out of 5 stars and another installment to a series I definitely recommend!

Our Wicked LiesOur Wicked Lies by Glede Browne Kabongo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Our Wicked Lies is the first book I have read by Glede Browne Kabongo and it will not be my last. My genre of choice is always a good psychological or domestic thriller and I was really intrigued by the synopsis of Our Wicked Lies. It is honestly hard for me to verbalize how I feel about this novel. I feel as though it was slow to start and took a while to really pick up but simultaneously I didn’t want to put it down either. The writing was really strong, and even though I had a hard time connecting with some of the characters (especially Alicia) they were really realistic and to many, probably really relatable. Throughout the beginning half of the book I found myself wondering if I had missed something a time or two, but honestly it helped build up the suspense. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and this author’s style of writing and she evoked emotion when I was reading whether it be empathy or even frustration. I would give the book 4 stars and as mentioned before, definitely will keep an eye out and read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Relentless: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 4) Via Mari 5/5 stars I have read many of Via Mari’s books and this author’s writing never ceases to amaze me. I loved the characters in this book, especially Layla. She is fiesty, fiery, strong and independent. As I have come to expect, Via Mari took me for a ride from the first to last page. There is passion, intrigue and action throughout the storyline without being “over the top.” I feel like each one or my reviews for Via Mari are so similar. She crafts great plots with strong sexy characters. I would recommend reading the Billionaire Bodyguards series in order, you don’t want to miss a thing. I looked forward to more already!

5 out of 5 stars

Seductive Prey is the first book I’ve read by Vivian Fiano and the first book in the Relentless Trilogy. As someone that has grown up in New England, I was excited to see that Grant is a cop in Boston.  I always feel like a book is extra fun when there are aspects “close to home”. Seductive Prey is an edge of your seat read from the very first page and it was hard to put down. The chemistry between our two main characters was of the charts and the storyline wasn’t boring either! It has been a long time since I have read a book series that was meant to be read consecutively and not “okay” as stand alone books for the cliffhanger at the end added an extra element of torture. As if I wasn’t already going to be continuing the series, the ending did seal the deal.

Jinxed (Hell on Heels, #2)Jinxed by Maggie Adams

Jinxed is the second book in Maggie Adams’ Hell on Heels series and while I really enjoyed book one, I loved Jinxed.
I was incredibly excited when I first read the synopsis because honestly, this short read has everything I love. Empaths, occult and soul connections but I was fearful that I was setting my expectations too high! Maggie Adams exceeded my expectations with a fast paced, engaging story with characters I loved.
This short story is less than 100 pages in length so really, what harm is there to take a chance on this (in my opinion) 5 star read?
I look forward to more from Maggie Adams in the future!

/0 Comments/in /by

Forged by Secrets is the third book in Amy McKinley’s Deadly Isles Special Ops series and much like the two books prior, it did not disappoint.
Forged by Secrets can be read by itself but as with most series I’ve read, I recommend starting from the very beginning. If you haven’t read Amy McKinley yet, just know that once you start, you won’t want to miss a thing.
This book has everything you could ask for. A great female lead character, relatable characters with great chemistry and a storyline that keeps you interested from the very first to last page. Another great read by the author, 4 stars.

Auctioned (Billionaire Bodyguards, #3)Auctioned by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Every now and then I want to read a small town, rainbows and butterflies type romance novel but when I want to read a pulse racing, steamy story with substance, I seek out Via Mari. Auctioned is book three in the Billionaire Bodyguards series and it is captivating from the start. Much like I’ve come to expect from a Via Mari novel, the storyline is just intense enough to grab your attention (and keep it) without losing you in all the moving parts. I enjoy this series because there are familiar characters I’ve met over time in Via Mari’s writing but if you’re just discovering the series, you won’t be lost.
I love the complexity of the characters first and foremost but put Damien and Bryanna together and the chemistry is unmatched! It’s ⅘ stars from me and as always, can’t wait to read more by this author.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was definitely a story that intrigued me from the start and it is so packed with action, it is hard not to stay interested throughout. I wasn’t sure with the synopsis that I would connect to the characters throughout the storyline but I honestly feel as though the characters are very well developed, exceeding all expectations. I would have to admit that there were parts of the storyline where I found myself a little lost and confused. My biggest recommendation would be to enjoy this book without distraction. I have reads that I indulge in before bed, and those that need my full attention on a good day off, The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald is definitely a 3 star read for the latter!

Price of a Rose: A Beauty & Beast Tale (Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings Book 2)Price of a Rose: A Beauty & Beast Tale by Byrd Nash
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Victorian romance novels are not my thing but I will give almost any spin of a fairytale retelling a try…
I recently read Byrd Nash’s Dance of Hearts and enjoyed the Cinderella tale, I couldn’t pass up a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Price of a Rose did not disappoint! There is so much to be loved about this novella. For a tale as old as time, it’s hard to see it retold with a unique spin but Byrd Nash hit this one out of the park. I love that the story involves three sisters, each with something different to offer. It doesn’t hurt that Rose is the middle daughter, much like yours truly…
I love the fairy element as well.
I would definitely recommend this 4 star story to anyone that enjoys light hearted, fun, clean romance. Added points if you adore historical romances.

Sons of Sindicato (Sons of Sindicato #0)Sons of Sindicato by Cam Johns
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sonya Jesus and Cam Johns are new (to me) authors so I didn’t know what to expect from the novella, Sons of Sindicato. I am not a huge fan of romance, reading mostly thrillers so the idea of a dark romance mixed with crime and suspense did pique my interest. I thought the novella was good overall, it kept my interest from start to finish and it had a really strong plot and storyline. I was hoping to love the characters a bit more, but my sense of detachment did not take away from the suspense and danger the story held. I would be interested in reading more from both of the authors and would definitely recommend this 4 star read to anyone that likes dark, action packed excitement.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie is the second book I’ve read by this author and honestly, it won’t be the last. It took me longer than usual to finish this book because I wouldn’t allow myself to read it to unwind before bed. I felt that the intricate storyline and attention to detail needed my undivided attention, not the groggy re-reading of lines.
I will admit that I am used to thrillers that have me on the edge of my seat, carrying the book everywhere to get one more page in, and while I was really invested in this storyline, the attraction wasn’t the same. I contribute this to the visual picture and the need to slow down and take it ALL in vs feverishly reading the words for what is next.
I think what had me drawn to this book and the author in general, is how unique I feel that not only the storyline is, but Paul DeBlassie lll can write something so thrilling with a poetic feel to it. I give Goddess of Everything 4 stars.

4 out of 5 stars

I don’t generally like zombies or the apocalyptic theme but having read the author’s writing in the past and knowing this story was less than 20 pages I figured there was nothing to lose. Honestly, I am lost for words. I have so much to say about this short story, yet no way to articulate how it made me feel. The imagery was fantastic. The characters were eery but symbolic of dating in the age of social media. I could write a hundred words but never be able to give Hungry Business ( or Maria Deblassie)  the credit it deserves. Highly recommend.

Twisted SecretsTwisted Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twisted Secrets is the first book in Amy Mckinley’s Deadly Isles Special Ops series and once I got into it (which didn’t take too long) I could not put the book down. I was first introduced to Amy McKinley’s writing from her Gray Ghost series and when I noticed she had another series with attractive military men and likeable female characters, I couldn’t resist. As I’ve come to expect from this author, I was not disappointed.
I enjoyed that the writing style showed the storyline from both Xander and Riley’s perspective and that each character had a lot of background details that didn’t just surround their relationship. Both characters were really likeable and I wanted them to have happiness. I don’t read many romance novels because I am more drawn to thrillers or suspense novels so to find a book that has a little bit of everything is awesome. Especially knowing there is more to be read in a series. Another great book from Amy McKinley, 5 star recommendation from me.

Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #2)Bound by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bound by Secrets is the second book in Amy McKinley’s Deadly Isles Special Ops book series and if you’re going to read any book series, make it one of this author’s. I started Bound By Secrets immediately after book one (Twisted Secrets) and of course I wasn’t disappointed. The storyline focuses on two different main characters but if you read the previous book, some you are no stranger to.
Amy McKinley is excellent at giving you dream worthy military (or ex military men) and every storyline has an element of suspense which I will never turn down.
I think my favorite thing about this book, or even the author’s writing in general, is that she always hits me emotionally when I wasn’t expecting to be. Both Kayla and Jaxon are enjoyable characters and I really enjoyed watching the growth throughout the book. If you’re looking for a romance with intrigue, suspense, a strong storyline and lovable characters, I definitely recommend this 5 star read.

Eleanor Dixon is a new author to me but I was really intrigued when I stumbled across The Graceful Ghost.

It was sweet, fun, fast paced and it was unique. The characters, especially Grace, were wholesome and enjoyable. I look forward to reading more from this author for sure.

Happily Ever AfterHappily Ever After by Piper Rayne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Who doesn’t like a book that offers a collection of stories at once that you can pick up and choose what you’re in the mood for whenever you feel like it? The story that really caught my attention is Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You by Marie Skye. Marie Skye is an author I’ve read in the past and enjoyed, so I had faith in the writing but I was really drawn by the synopsis. I will be honest with you, at the very beginning I was not sure I would enjoy the story. It didn’t start with the addictive qualities I am so used to reading. It did pick up fairly quickly, thankfully and the characters were enjoyable. I truly appreciate a storyline that holds characters with good banter, this had it. I would recommend this collection if nothing more than to read this 4 star story but with a collection to meet anyone’s reading needs, how can you go wrong?

I loved Matching Miriam from the absolute start. Mya O’Malley is an author I have loved reading since I read her Maggie trilogy. I still think of the books years later!
I loved the familiarity that came with the book, having already met Naomi in past reading. (If you’ve never read a Mya O’Malley book before, you will still understand the book entirely, it’s just extra fun otherwise).
Honestly, I am not sure how to describe Matching Miriam as a book itself. There were times I felt myself overanalyzing each character, trying to figure everything out. There were times I was actually nervous or genuinely had chills. Overall, I just loved the book and look forward to more from this author.

Dance of Hearts: a Cinderella Regency Romance Retelling (Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings Book 1)
Byrd Nash
4 out of 5 stars

Like (I think), so many others, I love a good retelling of a classic fairytale. The fact that Byrd Nash used a historical time period to do so, is unique and extremely intriguing. Byrd Nash is an author that is completely new to me and Dance of Hearts is a novella that is completely outside of my go to genres.
I thought this novella was extremely well written from start to finish. Admittedly my only set back was the language tied into a period piece and again, this is only because this is not my go to genre.
I would definitely recommend this book to those that enjoy a short, clean romance with great imagery. I look forward to reading more from Byrd Nash in the future!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I downloaded Wildfire, I was so intrigued and excited about the synopsis that I completely overlooked it was the second book in Ashley A. Quinn’s Broken Bow series. Despite this, the book was fantastic and not once did I feel anything but at home within it’s pages. The characters were fantastic and the suspense element to the storyline kept me turning pages. This was the first I have read by Ashley A. Quinn, but I look forward to going back and reading the first book, and likely rereading this one. I always love to get every little bit of a book series, I feel like I know the characters personally when I was there from the beginning. If you’re looking for a 5 star contemporary romance with an edge of your seat suspense element, Wildfire is definitely for you.
