The Uncrowned King (The Blood Prince Series) by Ayla Marie – Review by Carla Clemmons

The Uncrowned King (The Blood Prince, #2)The Uncrowned King by Ayla Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I definitely recommend reading the first book before reading this one. This was a great jump into the second book and I loved how you get to read from three different perspectives. I really enjoyed getting to have insight into the other characters. Leo has to make some hard decisions to keep his family safe. Having to learn who you can trust is never easy and then finding a place to be safe. This book pulls you in just like the first. As always there are twists and turns in the plot that leaves you on a small cliffhanger for book three!

Secrets at the Cafe by Susan Specht Oram Review by Heidi Woodring

Secrets at the Café by Susan Specht Oram, is a wonderfully written mystery intertwined with a missing journal, Karine rushes home to her grandmother who is dying, the one who cared and raised Karinas parents died, and she promised to keep the café going and to read the journal left behind. When the journal goes missing, she sets out to find it, knowing that many secrets to her life is in this. With the help of her cousin and an old teacher, they begin the hunt for the leather book that holds so much.
This is the first book I have read by this author and it will NOT be the last. Oram grabbed me right away, just by the storyline, but as I read more the flow of the book, the details, just add more. I did not want to put this book down, I wanted to know who took the journal, and I wanted to know the secrets, I wanted to know it all!! I highly recommend this book!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Logan just cant stay out of drama. In the beautiful pacific North West Logan decides to volunteer for the Raptor Sanctuary, but she gets way more than she bargained for when the vet ends up dead, their office absolutely ransacked and a raptor the vet was specially caring for is also dead. Logan jumps in to figure our what happened and this drags her into the center of trouble while the killer desperately tries to close any ties to them before they get caught. Logan and her friends find themselves in danger. I enjoyed that I didnt immediately have a suspect and had to follow the story with Logan to figure it out.
This book can be read as a stand alone but you will Understand Logan better if you read the previous stories first!

Wild Lavender (Heart and Hand Series Book One) By Nicole Kelleher Review by Heidi Woodring

Wild Lavender is the first book in the Heart and Hand series Nicole Kelleher. I went into reading this not knowing much and I COULD NOT put it down. I found that the main characters were well written and strong. And the drama, the magic, the murder makes this a book easy to get lost in. I am not a huge fan of many fantasy books but this one grabbed me and I cannot wait to read more in this series!
Nicole Kelleher blew me away as I read more and more. The world that she created comes alive as you read about the realm. You can close your eyes and imagine it all so clearly, which as a reader is important to me. I highly recommend this book!

Dead Keen (Things unseen Book 2) by Anise Eden – Review by Tabitha montero

Dead Keen (Things Unseen #2)Dead Keen by Anise Eden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dr Con O’Brien travels back to Ireland with his new girlfriend Neve, a therapist, to help his brother solve a medical mystery with his fiancée Ciara. Ciara’s ex, Max has caused much trauma and his cult past and dark secrets are the key to helping Ciara.
This is the second book. I didn’t read the first, and while I did fine reading the second, I wish I had read it, there were a lot of references to things that happened in it that would have made more sense.
It was still a great read with a good story line.
