Dia's LureDia’s Lure by Catherine Peace
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was written well. I loved reading a new take on the paranormal. The story of Dia had so much action and emotion, making it a great story. Journeying with Dia as she traveled to find answers and survive was one roller coaster of a ride. There were many twists and turns but it was really nice to see her triumph over the adversity she experienced. The author wrote a great story and I look forward to seeing more from her.

This was a really good book. Jasper’s story was so full of adventure and depth. I loved going through her journey as she discovered who she is and how she is meant to shape her world. The story kept my attention and had a bit of a twist at the end. I look forward to continuing this story in the future and will read more from this author.

Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral HauntingsWeep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an intriguing and engaging read, with a gothic fairytale feeling to the writing, which had me hooked from start to finish. Based on the story of La Llorona, and set in Sueño, New Mexico the storyline flows well and kept me gripped. The women of Sueño, don’t know how to live a life without sorrows, and that’s because La Llorona roams the waterways. She’s looking for the next generation of girls to baptise, by filling them with more tears than any woman should have to hold. The only way to avoid the Weeping Woman is to not walk along the riverbank at night and try to keep their sadness in check, as it’s the the pain and heartache passed down through the generations that attracts her.

Mercy lost her best friend to La Llorona, but she survived, however, she didn’t come back quite right and knows that La Llorona won’t be satisfied until she gets the one soul that got away to the bottom of the river. As Mercy enters into a battle for her life, she goes on a journey into magic, healing and rebirth, as she fights to break the chains of generational trauma. Mercy needs to reclaim her soul from ancestral hauntings and so turns to things that she knows can save her, plant medicine, pulp books, and the promise of a strong love, that not even La Llorona can stop from happening. Although a fairly short read it’s an emotional story, and I really felt for Mercy. Both her character and the New Mexico setting came to life through the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story.

Faultless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #1)Faultless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Teddy, on probation, is heading home to ride out his terms of release. Teddy lost a lot of time, but always dreamed of reconnecting with Robyn, the one his heart belongs to. As soon as Teddy and Robyn reacquaint, we know this is who they are meant to be with. Trouble unfortunately follows these two and we are taken on a journey for redemption for both Teddy and Robyn.

Teddy is such a strong character for all he has been through. The injustice in his sentencing and him being the example set forth by an incredibly flawed judge was written nicely and got me angry a couple of times. The strong pull of the family and the support they offer kept me on the happy side of reading though, so I did go through a few emotions with the story. I liked all the supporting characters and can’t wait to read their futures as this series continues. This book is well written and focuses on Teddy’s character growth and struggles he encounters along his path to full freedom and finding redemption from the love Robyn provides.

This is a great short, powerful Novella. Really hits you with the feels right from the start.
The characters are great but I feel there could have been a little more character development that would definitely make this a 5 star read.

The storyline is great and there is really a lot of potential to make this a great Novella series that might be latter put into a box set. Just an idea

5/5 Stars

Ember’s Secret (Solstice Quartet #1) by Catherine Peace

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Ember’s Secret is a great read and an easy one at that. The next book is something I’m looking forward to.

Ember has always had a dream, but doesn’t think she can make it happen. When she meets Austin it’s close to Solstice. With his help will she be able to make her dream come true? The quote I chose for Ember is: “These dishes turned into a blend of traditional and … something. I wouldn’t call it fusion, but it’s different. Maybe more Americanized than I’d like. I tried a new appetizer and new entree. Wanted to get your opinion.”

Austin is a foodie by heart and wants to own his own restaurant. Breaking down in the middle of nowhere may be a blessing in disguise. Can he make his dream of settling down and being a chef come true? The quote I chose for Austin is: “Getting down those ideas you mentioned last night and implementing them as soon as possible.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Fantasy lovers.

Order of Vespers (The Vespers Chronicles #1) by Matilda Reyes

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Order of Vespers is the first book in The Vespers Chronicles Series. I’ve read the third book in the series so they can be read as standalones. This book was very entertaining and I didn’t want it to end.

Jasper has a power where she can explode like a bomb. Her family has powers as well. Her twin can manipulate the wind. Her sister could mess with memories. When they are killed she runs. Then she’s found by the Order. The quote I chose for Jasper is: “Dying is not on my agenda, so cross your fingers and hope I’m wrong. But… I wish you a long and happy life. You deserve it. Thank you for everything.”

Jordy is the human side of Jordan, but they’re one in the same. He doesn’t expect to find himself falling for the new girl. Things go south when she loses control and he doesn’t speak to her for a while. When he finds that someone he thought he could trust is going to hurt Jasper he jumps into action. The quote I chose for Jordy is: “I hate this. Please. I’m begging you, stop talking. You don’t get to waltz into my life, drive me bat s*** crazy, assault me, and make me care about you. Don’t lose hope, honey. Not just yet.”

Highly recommended for Supernatural Fantasy lovers.

Scepter of Flint (Lord Hani #3)Scepter of Flint by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book three in The Lord Hani Mysteries Series is set in ancient Egypt during the Great Jubilee of the Aten. Hani is an Egyptian Diplomat who sets out to uncover the mysterious tomb robberies that are taking place and the sudden deaths of witnesses. Faced with a seemingly corrupt police chief and his henchman does not deter Hani as he seeks to solve the mystery. He soon is faced with also trying to deal with a deadly plague that is descending on the kingdom and puts his life and that of his family at risk.

The author does an incredible job of transporting the reader back in time to ancient Egypt by drawing on her real-life archaeological background. She includes maps, a list of “gods” and a character list in the book as extra little touches to aid the reader in understanding the characters and the history of that time. This book can be read as a standalone or as a part of the series. A must read for anyone interested in historical mysteries.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book four of the series but can be read as a standalone. I read it before reading any of the others and didn’t feel like I was lost at all. This book does have some darker elements that may be triggering.

Renee experienced incredible trauma now that she’s free, and trying to readjust, it’s not as easy as she would like. No matter what though, Declan, her brother’s best friend, is by her side. At one time, she had hopes of a relationship with Declan but she’s sure that thought has vanished. She’s broken and doesn’t want to bring Declan down with her. Declan will do whatever it takes to protect Renee. He’s had feelings for her for so long and he knows she feels unloveable. He has desires but as long as he’s in Renee’s life, he’s happy and will squash all desires if that means he can stay. What happens when Renee’s past comes knocking?

I enjoyed this book. What an emotional roller coaster. Renee and Declan really connected. Declan is the strong alpha protector and I loved reading about him taking care of Renee. Definitely recommend this book!

Small-town second chances romance. Ted went to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Now he is home and adjusting to his new normal. I absolutely adore this story and in many ways it mirrors my life currently. Teddy told Robyn not to wait on him and she hasn’t but she is drawn to him and he is drawn to her.
This book has many characters and not all of them are on team Teddy. Wonderful story. I love this authors writing and cannot wait to see where we go in book 2

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dia’s Lure is the third book in this series. I would strongly recommend reading the books in order so you get a complete understanding of the characters and the story.

This is a paranormal fantasy romance. I loved the elements of danger in it and the different characters. The author does an amazing job of bringing these fantasy characters to life. I didn’t read the first 2 books but that didn’t stop my enjoyment of this book. I will however be going back to read the series from the beginning.

Dia is a very interesting character. All her life she has been on the run from hunters because of what she can become. She is a strong willed and resourceful character however she does have a sense of sadness and loneliness about her because she can’t let people in and the one person she did let in and loved betrayed her.

That person was Carver. Carver is a dingo shifter. He has made many questionable mistakes in his life that he regrets. The main was was hurting Dia and causing the destruction of her tribe. Now he’s free to make amends for the past and the pain he has caused but will Dia accept him and forgive him or has the damage been too much that there is no going back.

This story is definately a page turner which a slight element of fated mates has most shifter stories have but the journey for Dia and Carver to get there is definately a roller coaster of a ride you don’t want to miss

If You Tell: a True Story of Murder, Family Secrets, and the Unbreakable Bond of SisterhoodIf You Tell: a True Story of Murder, Family Secrets, and the Unbreakable Bond of Sisterhood by Gregg Olsen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I went into this book blind only knowing that it was a true crime book but no further details. We picked it to read this month for my book club and this book was a tragic emotional roller coaster. While I know that things like this happen it was so unfathomable what these children endured and how little anybody helped them. It was intriguing how one woman could abuse so many people both children and adults and get away with it for so long and have so much tragedy happened. This woman is what I consider the epitome of a monster I was equally disgusted with her final spouse. This book tugged at all the heartstrings and I found myself crying through several portions of it. The book is extremely well written and the authors writing style showed with a true story teller he is. This was my first book by this author and I intend to pick up the rest of his books as soon as I can. While this book is filled with so much tragedy and pain and I am giving a warning to that effect it is definitely a book worth reading.

Gunner is the third book in the Hollins & Haring series by T.J. Beach. This is the first book that I have read by Mr. Beach, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into the story. But the intriguing name had caught my eye, and I really love a great thriller- so I clicked a copy and dove in to see what I would find. I wish I had realised going in that this is the third book in the series, because even though this could be read as a standalone, I feel it would have been an even better experience if I had read the other two books in the series first and had known everything that has happened up to this point. Don’t get me wrong, this was a great read, as is, even not knowing what happened previously… I just can’t help but wonder what happened in the first two books and whether that information would have elevated my reading experience of this instalment…… so I will definitely be going back to explore those books, before continuing on with this series.
This is a cleverly woven thriller with dual threads unravelling at the same time- adding some extra depth, tension, and intrigue to this gripping read.
Playing out at the start of the Covid pandemic, the story takes us from Western Australia to London- for and action-packed read that I imagine would also make a thrilling movie.
These characters are really well-developed- they were expertly crafted into fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. I felt for them and what they had/were going through- which made it easy to connect with them and invest in the story.
I am glad that I stumbled on this book- otherwise I might have missed out on discovering a great author and a thrilling series, and now I can’t wait to sink my teeth into more instalments.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, T.J. Beach!

Faultless Love is the first book in The Bennetts of Langston Falls Series by K.G Fletcher. As Ms. Fletcher is on my MUST-READ author list, I have read and LOVED all her books- so I was really excited to get my hands on this new release. As soon as it hit my Kindle, I plunged in- and didn’t come up for air till I’d read every last word. It’s a superb introduction to her fantastic new series.
As expected from Ms. Fletcher, this book comes with an emotional wallop that made my heart ache and go pitter-pat all at the same time. It’s a wonderful, emotional second chances romance that, like all her other books, has plucked at my heartstrings.
With a small-town setting, intense chemistry, steam, family, love, loss, a painful past, worthiness issues, drama, healing, touching & tender moments, wonderful endearing characters, hope, an engaging storyline- this touching second chance contemporary romance proves Ms. Fletcher’s catch-cry that ‘love always wins’…
Bring on ‘Shameless Love’- Book #2…. Can’t wait!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, K.G. Fletcher!

Faultless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #1)Faultless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Selfless Teddy taking the fall for something he didn’t do. An instance of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Faultless Love is a second chance romance, a second chance at life, and a redemption story for our main male character.
The author wrote a wonderful story about a man’s struggles getting through the last 6 years of his life and his new found freedom. Not quite free he’s still on probation, but almost free. Teddy’s growth over his time from when the incident happened and now was written impressively. Being back with his family, making contact with the woman he loves, those are things that kept him going.
Robyn knows he’s home and still feels guilty that he was put away because of her. But she still loves him, and rekindling that romance does take long. Robyn, unlike Teddy, didn’t really grow in the 6 years. It seems the author wrote Robyn in a way where she regressed due to guilt. She had a small bit of growth at the end but you have to read to get there.
I enjoyed this book, a little slow at first for me, but once it picked up I was invested. Everytime I read something old but something new I’m intrigued. Something old meaning the genre, something new meaning the basis of the story itself.
If you enjoy a redemption story, strap in and jump into this roller coaster of a story. The author wrote a wonderful book, and I look forward to checking out others.

The Final Bite is a cute story with an interesting plot. I liked that Quinnlan is not your stereotypical vampire. I also really enjoyed the way the story was told, as if Quinnlan was telling us the story and it was amusing when he talked directly to the reader. The plot was not complex, and things were resolved easily, but that did not take away from my enjoyment of the story.

Finding Bryce (Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII Book 1)

I know the purpose of a quick read is to get engrossed in the book quickly, but I don’t think I have had a story grab me quite as fast as this one did. I am not one to read in the car but I couldn’t not read this book while we were out running errands.

With a quick introduction of the guys on the SEAL Team and then meeting Pippa we are on our way into the story. We learn a lot in a short time and I definitely want more of these guys.

Pippa has been through so much at such a young age, but has finally settled in a new location with no life outside of school and work she goes to a party that changes everything for her.

I was charmed early by the gladiator and his charm did not fade. If I could have met a guy like that in my younger years.

This I author is brand new to me and I really liked that this book is my introduction to her. I will be reading the others in this series, starting with the next two that have been released.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Years ago, Dia lured hunters away to keep her family safe and she’s been hiding ever since. She changed her name, her gender, her looks all to keep herself and her younger sister’s safe from their dark past.

Dia who goes by Dane, is going to help in an active warzone when a bomb goes off and shifts the bus they were in. Fight or flight kicked in and she ran until she collapsed. When she came to, she was in a camp of bat shifters who just wanted to be left alone in a world where shifters are hunted. The shifters, not knowing who or what Dia is, insist on her staying until they can trust her. The next day they get another intruder and it is Dia’s mate whom she blames for the slaughter of her tribe.

Years later and there are still feelings there. As she gets to know the bat colonies leader, Milos, she realizes that there could be something between them as well.

Kano spent years trying to find his lost love Dia while also trying to stay away to protect her. When he arrives on the scene of the bus, he picks up her scent, causing him to stumble into the camp. Instantly, Kano can tell that Dia wants nothing to do with him because of their past but he can’t help it. All the while Milos catches his eye as well.

After a lifetime of them all running, will they finally settle down and try to make something of these feelings?

As much as I enjoyed the first book of the series, this one is a lot better. There is alot more action, steam, romance. It even gets a little erotic here and there. I could not put it down.

Fletcher did a wonderful job in creating characters you love and some you hate. Besides the romance, the drama and plot had me turning the page to see what would happen!

Ember's Secret (Solstice Quartet #1)Ember’s Secret by Catherine Peace
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the first book of the Solstice Quartet series and it is a great introduction to the world.

Ember lost everything years ago when hunters showed up at their tribe and slaughtered and kidnapped all of their people including her own mother. They come from a tribe of swan shifters. Her sister Dia led the hunters away from Ember, their father and their other sister Amy so they could get away. Years later and they still have no idea what happened to Dia which makes them feel the need to hide.

Ember is a chef and owner of a small cafe. She loves to cook. Unfortunately living in a small town not used to ethnic food made her cafe empty most of the time. Due to her father’s paranoia, Ember hasn’t done much to change this until she meets Austin.

Austin is a host of a show that goes to different restaurants and reviews them. After entering Ember’s cafe he is smitten instantly. With her, with her food, her passion and her energy and knows that she deserves more customers in her place of work.

Austin tries to convince her to take part in an episode that will most likely bring clientele in. With her past, she is unsure where to go from here.

There was chemistry between these two from the very beginning. They seemed like soul mates. Instantly they got along and spoke like they’ve known each other for years. There was a strong will they/won’t they between the two while they tried to fight their feelings and dark past. There wasn’t much action but like i said it was a very good introduction to the world as you get to read flashbacks and memories. The world in of itself is unique. It talks of Maori traditions. It was very interesting to read.

And Then She FellAnd Then She Fell by Dreena Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading this book. The way the author formats the chapters between the mother speaking to her daughter after her passing and flashbacks of her daughter’s accidents keep you guessing. I was definitely engaged in the story until the very end.
Story starts after the daughter, Susie, dies after a tragic accident during her trip to Greece. Her mother Catherine has been trying for the past year after Susie’s death to make sense of these turn of events. Was there something that the investigation missed or could someone be responsible for her horrific fall? As time goes on, Catherine reconnects with those she traveled with, her then-boyfriend and some old friends. She is able to reflect on the best moments of her daughter but she comes to terms with aspects of her daughter unbeknownst to her. The happy glowing face of hers fading in the last year. Her frail thinning figure is quite obvious. A controlling and dominating relationship. What could have happened to Catherine’s daughter who was so full of life and now just left with many questions.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this book a lot! It’s full of love and it’s so heartwarming! Ted was serving time in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. He hasn’t seen the love of his life in YEARS! When he returns home will things pick back up where they left off? The characters are all great! You can’t help but to fall in love with them all! Teds father and siblings are so welcoming and loving and they’re all about family! I love reading books like that! There’s also some drama and it made me so mad with everything that TED had to go through! He’s a good guy and he keeps getting dealt a horrible hand. But he’s strong and he’s keeping his head high! There’s also spice and who doesn’t love that? If i could give this book 10 stars I would! I read this book in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. Huge page turner! I’ll be reading more books by KG Fletcher!
