Stumble & Fall (A Legacy of Silence Book 2) by Amy Rivers – Review by Lorrene Husiman

Stumble & Fall (A Legacy of Silence, #2)Stumble & Fall by Amy Rivers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book held me right to the very end. I will be going back to read the previous book for sure, but I was able to follow and understand this 2nd book perfectly well! I was captivated the entire time I read!

Something I appreciated about this book, is how the author shows that when things go unexpected or bad, it does not define who you are or the life that is ahead of you. The two girls, Tilly and Kate, had faced things that they should not have had to go through, but yet they did. Where they are now, is because they worked thru the stuff, and they lived the lift they wanted. It wasn’t easy for them, but they did it. To me that was really empowering. The book had its own power, I was hoping for the best for the two of them. How could I not? The author took a hard subject to talk about, and completely nailed it. This was a really strong read, and I felt my emotions, yes, I could not put it down. I loved the author’s writing! Loved this book!

This book is by far a must read in my opinion! I could not have asked for more! I will be for sure reading the first book in the series! Do not pass up this must read author or book/series! Highly recommend!

Into the Light (Moon Harbor Series Book 3) by Kate McWilliams – Review by Bethany Rollins

Into the LightInto the Light by Kate McWilliams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Loved this book and the dynamic between Raf and Ellie. They begin as friends, both secretly wanting the other but factors such as Raf’s past and Ellie’s brother are standing in their way. But even with the speed bumps, when they finally connect we are given a steamy romance that just keeps getting better. I didn’t realize this was a third book in the series and I loved getting to know the characters of Moon Harbor and will have to read about their stories now. I did enjoy the added suspense the author unraveled but it was a bit of an easy mystery to resolve with little fanfare surrounding it. Great read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story was incredible from beginning to its conclusion. It was full of intrigue, and characters that held strong character development and personality, but as well as greatly adding to the story.

The book had a good mix of things. Romance, dangerous suspense, twists and turns, battling for what you hold dear, and etc. I loved Ommity as a character. She was strong and someone that was impossible not to admire. She was new to the game, but she still gave everything she faced, her all. Loved Link as well as a character. When they both had “scenes” together, I was constantly rooting for them! I enjoyed the writing of this wonderful author very much. They knew how to draw you in, and this book was mesmerizing, and intense at times. It really was a great and valuable read. It was epic, if you want to use my dictionary! Loved it!

Fantastic read that really satisfied your mind. I could not get enough. I will be reading more by this author for sure! Definitely a must read book and author! Highly recommend both! Truly a rare gem of a read!

Hate You Later (Lit Lovers Series Book 1) by Ciara Blume – Review by Carrie Reed

Hate You Later (Lit Lovers, #1)Hate You Later by Ciara Blume
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a fun book! Pets and romance definitely mix! I knew from the start it was going to be a mess with Hudson and Georgia, but a mess I looked forward to watching. All the ways in which they are connected, whether it was through friends, the pet influencer challenge or just bumping into each other, you could tell there was something between them. It was super sweet to see Hudson kind of fall in love right from the beginning, he couldn’t get Georgia off his mind and even though they were opposites, they definitely attracted. His brother Bryce is a real piece of work and his dad Walker, yikes, but they made for interesting additions to the story. Definite recommendation!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emotional roller coaster
Lost for words. This book is an amazing quick read. Raw, real and riveting this book will have you going through all the emotions. Amy is a formidable character, aware of her flaws but strong regardless. The setting is an apocalyptic zombie world and had me on the edge of my seat. This is a short story but packs so much between the pages. The sacrifices were plentiful. A must read!

Necrosis by C.L. Schneider – Review by Amanda Swindle

NecrosisNecrosis by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Necrosis is a fast read that starts interesting and never slacks off. Amy, the main character, is easy to identify with and relate to. Going through a zombie apocalypse with her 9 year old daughter, Lila, brings out several life changing decisions. Sometimes she has to make choices that may cost her direly, or hurt someone else to save themselves. This seemed like a very realistic (given the circumstances) approach, and the choices were always real-life like scenarios. Friendships and her old life falls away, and basic survival instincts kick in. This is the 1st book I have read from this author, and I loved the writing style, world building, and character arcs. I absolutely recommend this to everyone, it was not too much horror or gore, and was very easy to follow!

A brilliant read! This is right up my street, a romance with a twist.

Just One More Egg: A Science Folktale (Science Folktale Series) by Lois Wickstrom is a cute children’s story that has an interesting storyline, colourful illustrations, a bit of adventure, educational elements, and a touch of drama to keep things interesting.
What happens when a cuckoo lays her egg in a warbler nest? What happens when the chick hatches? This is well worth the read to find out…
This cute and quirky story was engaging and fun, feeding both the imagination, as well as inspiring a little learning.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Operation Pinpoint is the first book in an exciting new series, Space Force Rejects, by Landra Graf. It is a sci-fi romance- a space adventure with plenty of action, danger, drama, intrigue, suspense, mystery, alien races, challenges, agendas, politics, violence, love, loss, humor, banter, finding love unexpectedly, and as expected from Ms. Graf, some incredible world building.
I loved Ravenna and Dravos- and even though they were thrust together under uneasy circumstances, they really were perfect for each other. Both what the other needed to heal and become whole again. I really felt for what each of them experienced, and was rooting for them from the beginning. I was completely invested in them and the outcome of their story.
I really can’t wait to continue the series!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Landra Graf!

Nightfall in Deptford (Crescent Moon Chronicles #4)Nightfall in Deptford by L.E. Towne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Nightfall in Deptford is the fourth book in the Crescent Moon Chronicles by L.E. Towne. Here I go again, diving into a series backwards. I was so caught up by the blurb and interesting cover, that I didn’t realise this was the fourth book in the series. Smh…. I soooo wish I had read the other books in this series before plunging into this one, as I suspect that knowing what happened previously would have elevated my reading experience of this book and taken it to a whole other level. Don’t get me wrong, this was a great read, and therein lies the problem…. I am seriously missing out by not having read the other books- but that is something I plan to remedy asap. I am more than intrigued by what might have happened in the previous three books, and will definitely be going back and reading them, as well as anything else Ms. Towne has produced.
This is a fantastic historical urban fantasy with time travel, fae, magic, adventure, action, destiny, shifters, paranormal elements, the supernatural, dramatic developments, passion, life and death choices, high stakes, destiny, family, and a clever melding of fact and fiction.
The story is skillfully woven, with wonderful world building, developing lots of threads and layers which all contribute to the depth and rich texture of the storyline that the author has cleverly crafted.
I can see that the previous three books would have enriched my reading experience of this book as this continues a time travel story that began in book one. Although I was able to ‘catch up’ somewhat in this story, I still feel like I need to know what happened previously as I am sure all the books help to paint a much bigger picture.…. Circumstances have meant that Christopher Marlowe, famous 16th century playwright, and Tam Paradiso, a present-day homicide detective team up in a race against time, with challenges past and present, hard choices, threats, danger, and high stakes- all choreographed into quite a captivating story.
I am looking forward to reading the previous book, as well as any future additions- can’t wait to see where things might lead.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, L.E. Towne!

This was a decent book that kept me entertained. I will most likely go back and read the first three books of this series as I would like to get more background on the characters and their relationships. With that being said I did enjoy this book. Christopher Marlowe is about to meet his demise due to criminals and spies in the 1500s. The love of his life lives in present day Philadelphia and works as a detective. How is that possible you ask? Well, Tam is a time traveler who fixes snags in time. She is tasked with going back in time and fixing things that alter the future. She and her ex lover must go back and fix the timeline that coincides with Christopher’s demise as it has been altered. Will they be able to find who is behind the conspiracy? Will Tam be able to leave her beloved behind to die so things will happen as they should? Or will she risk destroying the future as she knows it by saving his life?

I Loved You Yesterday: Book One in the Trading Heartbeats TrilogyI Loved You Yesterday: Book One in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book caused some conflicting emotions. I was not sure which brother Mavis needed to end up with. The story is fantastic. I mean, I get it. Josh had her heart and soul since they were kids but Austin….yeah, still a little conflicted.

Mavis and Josh have had a love, a special connection since they were kids. Throw in Josh’s twin, Austin, and you have the three musketeers. Not that Mavis’ brother or the twins’ sister was ever too far from the three but there was just something different about their connection. After Mavis and Josh started dating in high school, their relationship took that final leap. This was the beginning and nearly the end of everything.

Mavis disappeared one day, leaving everyone behind not knowing why she left. Until months later, Mavis turned up on Austin’s doorstep. She explained everything, why she left and why she was there. That day Mavis and Austin’s relationship changed. A couple of years later, Mavis and Austin had a chance encounter that led to a reunion. Now a decade from when Mavis left, six years since she last saw Austin, Mavis gets a text out of the blue stating that Josh wants her back.

Mavis goes home to reveal some of her secrets in order to rekindle her relationship with Josh. The truth about her and Austin can never come out or Mavis and Austin both risk losing Josh forever. Secrets never stay hidden for long, especially when others have an interest in them coming to light.

I like this story for so many reasons. The characters are real. They are likable. They are flawed but trying to do better. The entire timeline for the story, minus the flashbacks, happens in a few short weeks. I am ready for the next one.

This is not my first book by this author but she still managed to surprise me and I loved it.

Kylee had a life growing up that most people would love to have including Jayson. Great parents and siblings who are all there for one another. Jayson’s childhood was the exact opposite.

After Jayson disappeared after High School he and Kylee reconnect in one of the most unique ways. They have so much heat and it doesn’t go away even after several gaps.

I really enjoyed this book, great way to spend my weekend.

Rock Bottom (Satan’s Devils MC Book #7) Audiobook by Manda Mellett – Review by M Policicchio

I nearly broke my phone listening to this one.  I couldn’t believe my ears.  I was heartbroken.  I didn’t want to think it could truly happen.  Rock betraying the Devils.  SMH.  

 

Rock is growing uneasy in the stable lifestyle of the new Satan’s Devils.  Being a 1%-er MC used to mean something, now it means old ladies, a clean clubhouse, rules and kids.  KIDS!!!  What happened to danger and excitement?  So when the chance to do something different, thrilling, back to what it used to be came up Rock took it.  He didn’t know it would lead to new beginnings.

 

Becca has led a sheltered life.  Her parents controlled her every move, from homeschooling, to not letting her talk to the girl next door, to picking her wardrobe, to picking her husband.  Becca turned 18 and gained a husband twice her age.  The controlling continued until he got sent to jail.  He wasn’t going to let her go.  He arranged special accommodations for Becca.  

 

When Rock joined the Chaoa Riders, his new task was caring for the chore in the cellar.  That chore was feeding the woman chained to the wall, Becca.  Rock couldn’t explain it.  He was drawn to this woman.  Was it her strength, her vulnerability?  Rock knew she wouldn’t survive if she didn’t get out of the cellar.  

 

This is another amazing installment of this series.  I have not found a bad one out of the bunch.   I love these bikers and their old ladies.  I got emotionally invested in this one when what Rock did came out and he ran.  I love these characters.  I love this series.  I am 100% a Satan’s Devil for life.  If I haven’t already said it, Rock’s story is fabulous, ah-maze-zing, fantastic, phenomenal!!!!

I found this to be a quite fascinating story. Chloe and Amanda meet through their positions at the Museum in Seattle. They are both part of a 3,000 year old prophecy. Through the story, we flash back and forth through time to see how this story develops and goes. It can be a little hard to follow at times but I am a big paranormal fan and loved all the creatures in it: vampires, werewolves… It’s an entertaining story that I enjoyed. I found the characters quite intriguing. The story did engage me from the start.  It’s the beginning of the series and I do hope to see more. I want to see where this goes. I recommend it for paranormal lovers out there.

Grave Digger Academy IIGrave Digger Academy II by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MaKayla and the rest of the group are back for year 2 at Grave Digger Academy, which means, no one has been able to transfer out. Eh- that’s probably a good thing since this year, the inter-academy games are happening and with Grave Digger Academy being small, but also on the Crones’ radar, they’re going to need all hands on deck-er-shovels?

Winning the games is really the only way to keep the doors of Grave Digger Academy open, so the choice isn’t really there for this group of students but when the game starts it’s clear something isn’t right. Can the competition end before it’s too late or are the gravedigger’s going to have a new job coming up?

Book 2 was so fun! I really enjoyed reading about year two, but it felt very rushed. The timeline with this book made the school year feel like it started and ended within days of each other, which according to the ending, isn’t what happens.

I would have loved to have more preparation for the competition and more character interactions throughout this book, but overall I’m quite happy with book 2 and can’t wait to see what year 3 brings!

Rock Bottom

I have yet to be disappointed in anything I have had the pleasure of reading or listening to by this author.

Book 7 is Rock’s story and what a story it was. I am now caught up with the books I missed before discovering this amazing series.

Rock’s story didn’t start out like I expected at all but as we continued on it turned out the way I would have expected for a Satan’s Devils book.

Once again Sierra Kline and Logan McAllister did an amazing job bringing Rock, Becca and everyone else to life. So very excited to continue this series

Rock Bottom (Satan’s Devils MC Book #7) Audiobook by Manda Mellett – Review by Amanda Glaspie

It’s hard not to continue to fall in love with this series. Rock swears he’ll never find himself an old lady and with so many of the Satan’s Devils slowing down, he finds that he is bored. Rebecca was raised not to think and is forced into marriage with an abusive pastor. The two find each other in the most heartbreaking way. Once again, the series touches on very delicate subjects (abuse, sexual harassment) and may be triggering for some but does an excellent job showing how its not ok and will find for those that are victims. This has me falling in love with each character more and more. My heart hurt when members were injured and happy when good things happen. I’m curious what is going to happen. next and wonder what’s going on with mouse. I’m also wondering what they put in that water as their a fertile bunch of bikers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a fantastic read. It was a fast and smooth read. It followed along the typical civilization ended and a new civilization began trope but brought its own twist. I loved getting to really know the four main characters as their development and growth throughout the book was wonderfully written. Leora proved that when placed in the worst circumstances, it is all about how you overcome to be the best you can be. Roland found himself falling for the most unlikely of people and grew to be a hero instead of the thief. Aurora is proof that looks don’t simply define a person and her wit and intellect are top of the line. Finally Leopold truly funds himself against all odds and everything he has been taught and ultimately finds his inner emotions and cares for those around him. These four unlikely characters come together to help lead the next revolution. There are so many twists and turns in this book that the ending will make you wanting for more. I cannot wait for book two.

This second book in the series picks up where the first book left off. I liked this book a little better than the first; the characters have more depth, the story doesn’t feel quite as rushed overall, and the reader learns a little more about the other Academies. I really liked that Makayla’s brothers make more of an appearance in Grave Digger Academy II. While Makayla is the youngest and the only girl in her family, she seemed extremely isolated and lonely in the first book; but in this second installment the reader sees that’s not really the case. Her brothers seem to be very protective of Makayla. I love C. A. King and can’t wait for the next book in the Grave Digger Academy series!

Rock Bottom is the seventh book in the Satan’s Devils MC Series and I truly enjoyed listening to it. The narrators did an outstanding job of bringing the characters to life and keeping your attention to the end. I’m a huge fan of this author and her style of writing and attention to detail is honestly the best of both worlds. Her characters are well developed and relatable to a certain point.  Each story gets better and better than the last and sometimes her stories are raw and uncut and honestly that is what I love the most. This is a MC Romance that once you start listening you mine as well cancel everything until you’ve finished. This is a  intense at times story about Rock and Becca . He’s been outted and now finds himself joining a new MC but they let him in only because he has information they want. Becca was forced to marry Hawk and she had no clue what she was in for. These two meet under circumstances that aren’t the best. Can he save her? Can he find his place in this world? You guys I highly recommend listening to this book.  If you’re a fan of MC /Romance then this is definitely a author you need to check out. I can’t wait to read/listen to more from this Author.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with I Loved You Yesterday because I typically don’t enjoy second chance romance. Something about this book felt different and I’m glad I gave it a go. I have to admit, I really liked all of the characters in the novel with a soft spot for Austin. I felt that Mavis was a strong, likable character and I liked reading about her friendship with Casey as well. What stood out most to me was the internal dialogue sprinkled within the writing and the alternating perspectives. This is definitely a series/author I would love to read more from.
