Breathe UnderwaterBreathe Underwater by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled into this great mafia read right from the start.
Evelyn and Damien have a history. And of course Damien broke Evelyn’s heart.
When they see each other again the sparks fly, Damien tries to keep his distance but the attraction is just too hard to fight. Will he be able to protect her from his dangerous world?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. We get action, steaminess, and so much more is this read.
I really enjoyed the secondary characters as well, they added a great element to the story. If you like Second chance, Mafia reads that will have you on the edge of your seat this is the one for you. The author does a great job with her writing and I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today.

Spidersight (Tirzah M.M. Hawkins Horror Stories) by Tirzah M.M. Hawkins – Review by Jenni Bishop

SpidersightSpidersight by Tirzah M.M. Hawkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

So, when I started reading Spidersight I immediately thought of the story Drop Dead Fred with its imaginary friend. BUT I quickly moved on from that to something that makes you shiver and every soft sweep over your skin has you slapping yourself to remove any unwanted crawlies. Tirzah gives a vivid picture where not everything is as it seems!!

This short tale is a mixture of sweet and creepy. It is told from a five-year old’s POV which did not really reflect well in the writing once you get over that it is not a bad read.

This was an interesting debut horror novel from this author that I am sure many will enjoy.

Shadow and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns, #2)Shadow and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book I have read by Kay L. Moody, the first being book one of the Fae & Crystal Thorns series. After finishing the first book I couldn’t wait for book two to finally come out. Chloe is having an internal struggle between what is right and wrong. And where she feels she belongs, she knows she should return to the mortal realm, finding someone to love her and have a family once was her greatest wish but now she wants to be selfish and stay in Faerie with Quintus.
Chloe’s realization in book one about sometimes having to be selfish to save others later, but it comes back to haunt her. Right away Mishti is there her sword drawn at Chloe and Quintus. Mishti is angry and hurt, she had just lost Mila a dear person to her and Chloe seemingly, through her eyes, abandoned her for a Fae. Only pointing her sword at Chloe does Quintus’s words break through her anger. She doesn’t know what to do. Everyone in Faerie was taken there against their will, she knows the land belongs to the Fae and that stealing it is wrong but why does anyone have to die for it. All Mishti wants is a chance to make her own decision for once, first she was manipulated by Ansel, and then Portia, fighting and killing was never what she loved doing but she did it to survive.
Mishti had been sent to the Crystal Caves to kill Chloe, but all Chloe wants to do is heal Mishti of her pain. With her pain gone Chloe feels Mishti will be able to communicate more reasonably. Unlike the first book that has a slower pace into the main events this book starts off right away continuing where the first book ended. Will Chloe be able to save Faerie and the mortals? Can they compromise a solution that everyone can survive in the end? To stay in Faerie or to return to the mortal realm? The world of Fae and Crystal Thorns pulls you in and hooks you from beginning to end I can’t wait for book three Blade and Crystal Thorns coming March 21st, 2023.

This is a sweet light read – a romcom. Georgia runs a business that makes costumes for dogs and supports a pet rescue. Hudson is the family that owns the building that her business is in. What they don’t know is that they have been paired up in a pet owner’s contest – so while bad news comes through the business side, they are flirty and interested each other via their pets! This is a great light read – sweet and quick. I enjoyed this as a palate cleanser between some heavy reads. If you love romance, this is a good one to pick up!

Musical Murder Mystery Boxed Set #1 Books 1-3 by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Musical Murder Mystery Boxed Set #1Musical Murder Mystery Boxed Set #1 by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Musical Murder Mystery series is a great collection of funny, light hearted, sometimes suspense filled, mysteries. Each book can be read alone, as it has enough details provided. However, all 3 books follow Ruby Ecco as she travels around the country with a touring theater company. Each book relates to the play, and the characters are great. We meet Ruby, Rudy and Nova in the first book, and get to know them a bit more as the series progresses. For a good part of the first book, I thought there was for sure another book before it… There is a lot of references to past events and a previous murder Ruby was part of. After some research, I found that it is part of another series, by the same author, and now Ruby is getting her own series. I am curious to read the other book, as there is a lot of references to it and its main character Sunshine.
The Sound of Murder is the first book in the Musical Murder Mystery series. This book made me laugh a lot, which I did not expect. The characters Ruby and Nova are great, and I could really envision them. Ruby is very quirky and not your typical lead character, but I loved her even more for it!
West Side Murder is the 2nd book in the Musical Murder Mysteries series. It references 2 previous “cases” Ruby helped solve, though only one is in this box set. This is a very creative series, loosely mimicking the musical main character Ruby stars in. She seems to find trouble where she goes, and enjoys investigating and solving crimes in her spare time. I was happy to see the relationships with Nova and Rudy develop a bit more in this book. It had me laughing out loud several times.
Little Shop of Murder is the 3rd book in the Murder Mystery series. In this story Ruby and her friends work together to try to uncover a possible Catfish situation for her boss. It escalates and Ruby uncovers a Murder within the case. The ending is a shock, and I hope there are more books to come. I want to see what happens next for Ruby and Rudy as well as Nova and Noah.

This second book picks up right where the first leaves off! The fight is on to save Faerie from the iron poisoning and the mortals. Chloe and Quintus work together through their ups and downs and make a lot compromises along with mistakes. They gain new allies that you wouldn’t expect. And Chloe battles to overcome her fears of not being enough. This book describes Faerie in just as much detail as the first. It also ends on a cliffhanger like the first making you want to jump right into the third! I really really enjoy this authors writing style!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book from start to finish. It is absolutely amazing. The characters are well thought out and developed. The plot is engaging and absolutely hilarious at times.

Evan is the character you just have to love. The book starts out rough but he protects another and gets mysteriously thrust into a new realm, one of fairies, dwarves, elves and trolls. In order to get back to the human realm and his family he must complete 3 tasks for the elven queen. Piece of cake right? Not even a little, each task is more difficult than the last and with little support Evan must learn to negotiate deals to learn other’s magic to use in his quests. What happens though when those who deal like to try to twist words? Be careful of the words used to make deals after all most of these magical creatures are only in it when it benefits them more than you.

I really enjoyed how Evan, unlike his brothers, resorts to solving the problems with peaceful solutions rather than violence. He is a very careful yet resourceful person who will need all his smarts to make it out of this realm. I could not put this book down and just had to keep reading one more chapter to find out what happened next. If you like fantasy books with some mystery, action, adventure, and comedy then this is definitely the book for you. I will be recommending this book to many friends, it is that good.

The IntrudersThe Intruders by Brett McKay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beginning in chapter one, the reader is pulled into the life of Dex, is at a crappy car sales job during the day, and writes a novel at night (this reminds me of Tom Clancy and his debut novel- sales by day, writer by night). Dax sees a strange man at the end of his shift and gets a mysterious package in the mail. This piques curiosity for the reader and you want to know more about this stranger he sees. The cover only gives a hint at the strange supernatural events that unfold. The Intruders is full of action, danger, high-stakes, supernatural forces, and gripping details that keep the reader turning page after page. The transition from Kindle Vella felt like a smooth read and enjoyed reading the story!

Both main characters are stubborn and unwilling to admit what is right in front of them. The online chats were perfect and so realistic. I can’t wait to tear into the next book.

I finally got the my hands on book 2 of the series and it did not disappoint!! Even though this book could be read as a standalone I highly recommend reading book 1 to get to know Hunter Divine.

Hunter Divine, former US Marshal and now a PI and his crew have to pick up and head to Reno…..trying to find whom is responsible for the blackmail scheme against Hollywood celebrity Megan Getz. Can Hunter and his team find the culprit against Megan before it is to late?

Glitz, glam, extortion, drama and corruption all wrapped up into a fantastic book!

This book is hard to put down. The author really sucks you in from the beginning. I cannot wait to pick up book 3 and I love the characters……and I am definitely going to re-read books 1 and 2 again!

I love a good book about a woman starting a new chapter in the book of her life! The heroine finds herself in situations she never would have expected. Betrayal, deceit, and mystery abound. She also finds herself dealing with her aging mother who likes to heap guilt onto her only child. This book has so many things different readers can relate to on many different levels. The heroine learns when to ask others for help, even as she learns she is capable of much more than she ever dared to dream!

Another winning book in this series. Petty has always been a jerk but in this book we learn more about him and understand why. When he was little, he made a promise to his dad before he was killed in battle. This promise has made him who he is today and has gotten him into a sticky situation. Too embarrassed to let his brothers in, he gets himself into more trouble. Feeling alone, he can only turn who might understand, the woman he’s supposed to protect, Roselyn. She feels like they are oil and water but she’s drawn to him no e the less. She can see there is more to him than he lets on.

Once again this author has went above and beyond and brought us another amazing story. Bringing to light a subject that not many people are ready to talk about. This is definitely a must read.

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns)Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have ever read by Kay L. Moody. I was first drawn in by the cover and the name of the series, the synopsis was interesting, so I gave it a chance and started reading. Chloe is a human girl that for years she had lived in a Faerie world. The loss of her parents forced her and her younger sister Grace to move to the mortal realm with their older brother Vesper and his family.
In a time where women were not considered equal to men Chloe had gotten lucky when the previous towns apothecary passed away, no one else wanted the job so she took it. She was now 18 and had been back in the mortal realm for 3 years, she has been the town apothecary for one year and was determined to be as selfless as possible to relief her ill placed guilt on herself for something that happened when she was eleven. Suddenly a Fae illness was showing in her mortal town, determined to save everyone in her town that was suffering including Grace. Quintus is a Fae; someone Chloe has longed for but knows that she can’t be with him because not all Fae want to learn how to love. He needs her help in Faerie when a group of mortals that her older sister had rescued turn against the Fae, determined to kill them all. Loyal to the people of her town Chloe refuses to leave before she has successfully cured everyone, until she drowns, and Quintus saves her the only way he can. Waking up she is now in Faerie at first, she is angry until she learns that the illness plaguing her town is directly from Faerie. The two realms are linked together, and the iron poisoning Faerie is leaking into the mortal realm. To save her town and her sister she must save Faerie first. Along her journey Chloe and Quintus grow closer giving her a flash of hope before she pushes it down and out of her mind. She has been giving so much of herself to the town never taking a moment for her own needs that she feels she is withering away, empty and gasping for air.
Will Chloe learn to put herself first in order later save those around her or will she continue to drown in the selflessness she has been told is her only quality or importance? The author’s world is breathtaking, her characters both relatable and easy to love. Chloe and Quintus have a mutual love for each other makes your heart flutter with butterflies the purity of their growth is genuine and relatable. This book is a clean underlying romance and some of the sweetest things I have read between two characters. I cannot wait for book two Shadow and Crystal Thorns to see where their journey will take them next.

Petty's Crime (Satan's Devils MC Las Vegas #3)Petty’s Crime by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another amazing story featuring the Satan’s Devils MC, Las Vegas Chapter, and having read and enjoyed the previous books in the series, I was looking forward to this latest one, and I was definitely not disappointed. I was hooked from start to finish by Petty and RoseLyn’s story. As usual the world of the Satan’s Devils came vividly to life by the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in their world and in the story. Petty had spent years hiding who he really is, even from his club brothers, out of shame, but he thought that at least his past was over. However, when his nemesis returns, with the intention of destroying his life, Petty realises that just like in the past he can’t protect himself from her. Meanwhile, he’s been put on bodyguard duty to protect RoseLyn from her dangerous ex boyfriend. RoseLyn is grateful to be under the protection of the Satan’s Devils’ Security Services, but her bodyguard Petty is so disrespectful and rude.

However, it doesn’t take her long to realise that beneath the persona he presents to the world is actually someone very different, and she decides to see if she can save him. When his brothers desert him, Petty realises that RoseLyn is still there for him. Petty was not an easy character to like in the beginning but as his backstory was explained, and as his character developed, especially having met RoseLyn, by the end I was hoping he would get his HEA. RoseLyn’s character is perfect for Petty, and she was an relatable character. I felt completely invested in the story, which flowed well and the plot twists kept me gripped. As usual, I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this MC romance. An enjoyable and engaging read which I definitely recommend, and I’m now waiting impatiently for book four!

The VeilThe Veil by Wanda Luthman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an interesting story and not one I would usually read. However, the description intrigued. Not being a particularly religious person, the tearing of the veil isn’t something I was familiar with so enjoyed the telling of this story. Although put forward as a fictional book this is one that definitely steers more towards the religious side. It was a great way to become acquainted with the story, although I would have liked a little more detail on the periphery of fiction.
However, the book is well written and an interesting story. I am definitely pleased I gave it a go. For anyone wanting something with a little more faith then I would highly recommend this book.

Can you imagine discovering the complexities of the music/lyrics of the Beatles at the age of 36 and writing a collection of poetry in response? That’s what this author did! Throughout this collection, the author paints vivid imagery of his life and/or emotions in each poem– telling us about his childhood, teenage, and adult experiences. There were times that I was a bit lost in the psychedelic nature of this poetry– maybe I would have understood it a little more if I too were on a different dimension but there many poems that were relatable in the sense of feeling lost in my mind or emotions. Also, the vocabulary is a bit challenging- so keep a dictionary or Google at the ready!

The IntrudersThe Intruders by Brett McKay

The Intruders, originally published on Amazon’s Vella Platform is now an ebook. While I found the author’s notes at the end of each chapter to be distracting as I read; by the third chapter I skipped them, and the pace of the story flowed well. The story that Brett McKay brings to life was thrilling to read.
Dex Sanders is making his way through life as a car salesman, a career he’d like to change. He is a devoted husband and father. His life is turned upside down in the blink of an eye. Dex, his wife and children are abducted in the middle of the night and taken to an unknown place. When he is faced with a life-or-death situation, Dex only wants to keep his wife and children from harm’s way.
When an opportunity to escape is revealed, Dex and his family take refuge in a hotel with the police to protect them; however, can they trust the police, or anyone else?
Without giving away any details of the story, this book is action packed, fast-paced and I enjoyed reading it. I easily connected with the characters and rooted for them to triumph from start to finish.
I would recommend reading this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Borrowed Time is another novel by Lane Cohen. It is a time travel fantasy with some sci-fi elements, drama, historical details, adventure, moral decisions, lots of dialogue, and interesting characters- with a bit of a nod to the 1960’s movie ‘The Time Machine”. If you could go back in time what would you do? Would you change your own history, or try to right some terrible wrongs? That is what these characters have to deal with and gonthrough in this book. They have to adapt to what they are given.  We follow along on as they travel back in time and get a front row seat to all the intriguing development and what they are going through. I think with how things have played out there may be another book or so.

I can never get enough of this wonderful author, or the stories that they create with convincing characters that are real as ones can get! This book had me hooked right from the start and held me through the end!

Love Satan’s Devils with a passion. I must say at first glance, Petty was not someone I was super fond of, or even cared for for that matter. As I read I got to know what made Petty, well, and I must say by the time we reached the conclusion my opinion had shifted. I love how this author can captivate you with characters and do such a strong character development that an opinion you have of one, can completely be different by the end! Loved Rose by the way. She was a great character and brought out Petty’s softer side, especially the ordeals they faced I think those ordeals made Petty allow himself to open his heart, and admit all he had right in front of him and that he was not about to lose that! Freaking great read! Absolutely loved it!

The author absolutely amazes me in every book they release. I was sucked in hard from the start, and I did not want this book to end! Highly recommend this book, series and of course the author! A must read!

After the reading, the Priest selects Samuel for the understudy position and he has to leave right away to begin. Once Samuel leaves home, he will never again go back home to live as he will continue studying and serving in the tabernacle.

Hel takes the journey to Midgard to calm Shalendra, where she makes the difficult decision to tell her that Emilien is her father, risking Emilien becoming mad at her. Only a strong blood bond, such as father to daughter, can locate him. Doing so may alert Loki to who she is to him. Can Hel find Emilien and who is responsible for the disappearing entities? Can she keep Shalendra safe from her father, Loki? Find out in Curse of the Elf Lord.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. All characters were relatable, and the vivid descriptions allowed the reader to envision the realms. I would not change a single part of it. If you are looking for an enchanting read, don’t miss out on Curse of the Elf Lord.

Defying Ella (True Platinum Series Book 4) by Morgana Bevan – Review by Charlene Gonzalez

Defying EllaDefying Ella by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ella and Jared’s story is full of action and spicy romance. Snowed-in with their former lover and the current enemy is the best way to get closer but would be enough to feel the attraction of the past or would this be a mistake? Always on each other’s last nerve and full of spit and vinegar, Ella and Jared eventually let their guards down and open up to one another.

Morgan did an amazing job forming a rock star and a girl who just wanted to get away from what she thought were real feelings to I can’t stand him anymore. The best part the author used the storm’s method to bring those emotions back to the character, a truly classic story.

This is the 2nd book in the Fae and Crystal Thorn series. And wow. It picks up right at the end of the first book and carries on the fantasy adventure where Chloe and Quintus are trying to save the land of Faerie from the mortals. This story is packed with adventure and a theme which runs through everyone’s life really. When 2 sides are at war is there ever really a right or wrong side? This is the battle that Chloe is fighting with inside herself. She needs to save Faerie to save her life in the mortal realm. That was her plan, however things start to take a turn and she questions everything as her feelings for Quintus grows and he asks her to stay.

Can they save Faerie? Will Chloe give in to her feelings and stay with Quintus or will she return to the mortal realm to her family.
There are so many obstacles that Chloe must overcome before making her decision and the author does an amazing job with the world building making each magical being feel real and keeping the reader wanting more
