The Season Finale (Paranormal Talent Agency, #6)The Season Finale by Heather Silvio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great book. A great series. A great author.

Silvio has created such a fun masterpiece in these pages and continues her wild ride with the Paranormal Talent Agency in a wonderful conclusion. I hate to see this series end but it is done with great detail, page turning suspense, a thrill ride to romance, just absolutely loved it. The characters are fun and quirky and relatable. The pace of the story keeps you engaged and enthralled. This quick read has a little bit of everything and certainly kept me guessing as to what might happen next. Throw in the backdrop of Vegas and you’ve got yourself a sure fire winner. You need to read this!

What a fantastic book! I believe it took me on an emotional journey I wasn’t quite prepared for. Suspense, mystery, tons of character development. I was deeply invested in Prudence and the entire story and found myself laughing and crying throughout. Simply put, Gilmore writes a truly riveting piece that sets up a series that I cannot wait to get in my hands. From first to last page I loved it. Highly recommended.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My sentimental heart loves fairy tales and has a soft spot for modern reimaginings of my favorites. So I was hopeful of what I might find in these pages. Berla did not disappoint. Beau and Bett is such a fun, YA retelling of the Beauty and the Beast tale. I thought this take was fresh, well written, and well done. I thoroughly enjoyed this quick read and cannot wait to read more from this author!

I wasn’t sure what to expect when opening this book up. Both of these authors are new to me but boy am I ever glad I took a chance on this short book. From start to finish the action-packed pages left me feeling like I had more story than I would have anticipated I would find in such a short book. The authors did a fantastic job leaving this tale of shifters into a new house I didn’t anticipate. It opened a world wide open for a series to continue. I simply cannot wait to get my hands on the next book. Extremely well written and well done. Loved it!

Enox is a very gifted writer and I am certainly pleased to have found her stories. Great characters and plot. A mystery worth reading more than once.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phoebe Alexander remains a must read author for me. So I had this in my queue without really reading the summary. Jumping in without a clue I’m not sure why I don’t expect the unexpected from Alexander. But she still somehow finds a way to surprise me with every book. The steam factor is absolutely off the charts. Readers should be cautioned to pick this up fully aware of the content they will be jumping into. That said, I absolutely loved the plot points established in this book. The characters were real and fascinating and flat out hilarious. From situation to detail to relationship to romance, I simply couldn’t get enough. Alexander continues to be held in the highest esteem and I only hope that everyone gives this latest book of hers a chance.

My One Love (The Brothers of Camelot Book 2)My One Love by Necie Navone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved this book and these characters. In order to fully appreciate Lexy’s character, you really should read the My Life prequel trilogy. It is excellent and does a wonderful job fully developing her backstory. That said, this story does stand well on its own but is that much richer when read in the context of the whole Camelot universe. Although I found the dialogue a bit extensive at times, I never lacked in the ability to discern exactly when every character was thinking and feeling. Truly, Navone does a beautiful job developing the plot and moving the characters through several twists and turns, and navigates the universe flawlessly. This is a beautiful love story at the heart with some drama and suspense thrown in for good measure. You will be left breathless on all counts in the best possible way!

McKinley masterfully weaves this tale of romance and suspense and somehow fits quite a punch into a short number of pages. I continue to believe that McKinley has firmly established herself as a must read author. This novella is certainly not an exception to that opinion. My only complaint is that the story could have easily been double or triple the number of pages. I was sad to read the last page. But so much was said in the limited number of pages in my hand that I was extremely surprised and loved every minute of it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was completely unprepared to love this book as much as I do. I knew I would enjoy it. The cover is fantastic and the synopsis is clever. O’Dey is certainly gifted. With effortlessness (it seems) she weaves a tale over a span of several years, utilizing several POV, from adolescence to adulthood and maintains the reader’s attention without demeaning or belittling any emotion or experience regardless of character or time. The story transitions easily, moves quickly. I felt O’Dey masterfully broached the difficult scenario at the root of the complicated relationship/friendship at the center of the book. The utilization of the interview notes interspersed certainly lent a depth to the story I wasn’t anticipating. It was emotional, funny, sexy… you think you know who the ultimate choice will be. You may second guess whether you guessed right. But regardless you won’t be disappointed with how the story wraps up. Especially since this is just the beginning of our journey with the Fisher Men. Absolutely loved it!
