My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an exceptional book by far! I was very much invested in the story and the characters as I read. The story really pulled you in and held you there. It was hard not to love this book and its contents!

The story was full of intrigue for me. Time travel, suspense, you name it. You did not know what to expect as you read. Very unpredictable. The author certainly has a mesmerizing writing style. I found it very hard to put this one down, it keeps you interested. Looking forward to reading more in the series! Loved it!

The book was a must read for me. I was invested all the way through as I read. I very much enjoyed it. So yes, I very much recommend this must read book! Not one to be passed up!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve really enjoyed the Antipodes series and the author has maintained the high standards of the entire series in this concluding finale. As with the other books, there’s plenty of sci-fi/dystopian, environmental and mythological themes, which I really enjoyed. But most of all, I was so keen to see where the characters would end up and the ending was satisfying. I’ve really enjoyed going on this journey with these characters and I will miss them. Highly recommend this whole series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. The time travel factor, the romances that didn’t quite work due to age factors and the drama had me on the edge of my seat. I was pulled in and engaged from page 1. Coming in at book 4 of the series, it really has you wanting to know more. The suspense, the romance, the intensity just keep you so very curious as to what is around the corner. I love the writing. The characters are all very well-written and developed. This is a terrific book. I am going to go back and start with book 1 so I can see what happened before.

Just One More Egg: A Science Folktale (Science Folktales)Just One More Egg: A Science Folktale by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a cute and sad story! Mama Warbler ended up with a cuckoo egg in her nest. She could have kicked it out but kept it. What was one more? She just accepted it. Because she accepted the cuckoo bird, her nest was safe from the cat. Neighbor bird, however, wasn’t. She lost an egg to the cat. We shouldn’t judge by the looks, smells, etc. Everyone has a role in our lives. I did find it interesting that the eggs aren’t that much bigger and even though the bird is larger, the momma still takes on the baby cuckoo. Even an old lady can learn new facts. Cute children book that makes a great story time book

Childhood sweethearts, Josh is planning to follow his dream and become a doctor, Mavis not wanting to stop him and get in the way of his career leaves when she realises, she is pregnant. <br />Through unfortunate circumstances she ends up seeking out Austin (Josh’s brother).<br />Josh can never know that Austin knows where Mavis is, especially after his divorce from Mavis’s high school nemesis.<br />Can Josh and Mavis have their happy ever after, what about Austin, does he deserve to be happy with the girl he loves?<br />As I have said a really well written fast paced book that can easily be read in one sitting is you don’t mind a book hangover.

I really liked this book! The chemistry between The main characters was HOT! Stuck in what seems like an impossible situation, will it bring them closer than ever? The main guy can be quite mean, which was a bit of a turn off for me. Once everything is out in the air, it makes total sense. Great sexual tension and emotional drama!

Lois has taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales. She has invented what she calls Science Folktales. In each science-based tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending than the original because of learning scientific principles. She has turned some of these tales into plays.

She has also created a series of Mermaid Science stories, which make use of water science.

Lois is married to the love of her life. She has two children, four grandchildren and a dog.

Murder and mayhem are old hat to Tam Paradiso. Time travel? That’s a new one.

On May 30, 1593, playwright and monster hunter Christopher Marlowe is destined to meet his demise amid a nest of spies and criminals. No one can change that, not even his love, Tam Paradiso, a homicide detective in present-day Philadelphia.

But something has gone wrong. The final days of Marlowe’s life have deviated from their destined course, corrupting the proper flow of time. Aided by visions from her sister, Isabelle, Tam travels back to 1593 to rescue Marlowe from the infamous Tower of London. She takes banished fae warrior Theo North, her former lover, as supernatural back-up.

To fix the timeline, they must plot Marlowe’s escape from the impenetrable White Tower, unravel the political conspiracy against him, and battle a vicious shifter with a role to play in his death. But even should they succeed, Tam will have no choice but to abandon Marlowe to his predestined tragic end, or risk destroying the future.

Ashley Pagano has always dreamed of being an artist both figuratively and literally. Her love of art was instilled by her mother who always inspired her to be creative either with a paintbrush or with a pen and paper. As far back as she can remember her life was always centered around introspection, storytelling, and imagination. Because she is so artistic, she took to the idea of creative writing very passionately. Her ability to describe a scene, person, or place, she compares to painting a picture, where she can describe every detail vividly in order to make the reader feel like they’re truly living in the story. Her works of writing usually center around a powerhouse female protagonist (which reflect her own personality), who progresses through many wild and extreme obstacles. Ashley loves to write stories that end with a cliffhanger, that have the reader begging for more and questioning what happens next. Her most recent novel sets the stage for the supernatural romance of the century and includes fairies, vampires, werewolves, witches, and shapeshifters who just love to get in the way of true love. Ashley has won awards for her design, art, and writing. 

Ashley doesn’t believe in down time whatsoever and actually loves having a full “To-Do”list. Ashley is a wife to her wonderful husband, Eric and a mother to two beautiful girls named Dakota and Ember. She is also a Graphic Designer and a health and fitness coach. Her husband and daughters inspire her to be the best person she can be and encourage her to pursue any of her dreams (no matter how extravagant they may be).

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Such an intense story and it had a hold on me from the very beginning. I didn’t realize this was a series so I didn’t read the first book, but I will be ASAP. I loved this book and the characters are lovable and the plot is just as good! Both of the main characters have been through some difficult times in their lives but that didn’t stop them! I went into this book blind and I think you should too! I always say going in blind is the best way to start a book, keeps it interesting and more surprising! I will be reading book 1..because I loved the thrill, drama and suspense of this book! I need more!

War Horses Book 1: ChevalierWar Horses Book 1: Chevalier by Scott Warren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Chevalier is the first book in the War Horses series by Scott Warren. This is the first book that I have read by Mr. Warren, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into the story. I was intrigued by the title, the interesting cover, and the blurb’s promise of a captivating plot. So I took a chance and immediately plunged in to explore.
I am so glad that I took a chance on this book, because it proved to be a fantastic Mecha military sci-fi story with an action-packed storyline, war, combat, adventure, tension, danger, dramatic developments, fantastic world-creation, and even a little humour just to keep things from getting too heavy.
What happens when a tank mechanic finds himself thrust from behind the lines right into the face of war? Vandal and the rest of the Chevalier’s will need to rise to the challenge to face off against seemingly overwhelming odds if they are to stand a chance of surviving. Vandal has the extra challenge of trying to learn on the fly, to competently control and operate the upright tank, something he was never trained to do before. What happens makes for an engrossing story.
Looking forward to Book #2, and exploring more of Mr. Warren’s work.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Scott Warren!

She’s a mage and he’s a panda shifter. They’re also best friends. This book was great and I enjoyed it!! GREAT characters and I loooove the story. She’s doubtful and he just wants to prove to her that he wants no one BUT her. Super super cute read. The passion the main characters have is phenomenal and I love the writing in this book too.

Bycatch by Alexander Blevens took me by surprise. When I initially chose this book I thought it would be a ‘good’ story, something I could use as a bit of a ‘palate cleanse’ between some of my ‘heavier’ reads. But this took me by surprise- in a great way. It grabbed me right from the get-go and didn’t release me till I had read every word. I was so engrossed in the story that I ended up reading it in one sitting. Sleep is overrated, after all lol.
It is an entertaining and suspenseful thriller with historical details, crime (and investigation), family dynamics, tortured souls, human frailty, tension, intrigue, challenges, complexity, secrets, interconnected details, moving moments, guilt, murder, greed, culture, and more.
This is a well-written, detailed, and descriptive story with skillfully crafted characters who all had their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws.
I have been debating how to review this story ever since I finished reading it, not because there was anything wrong…. but because I don’t want to give too much away. I think I will let the blurb speak for the story and recommend going into the story a little blind and let the author, plot, and characters surprise you with a riveting read.
If you love a bit of a twisty thriller, with tortured souls, secrets, murder, mystery, historical details, and gripping tension- then you will definitely want to snap up a copy for yourself to explore- asap.
As this is his debut novel, I eagerly await more from Mr. Blevens.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Alexander Blevens!

Unveiling Beulah is my first Audible by this author and this narrator.   I truly enjoyed listening to this book and the narrator did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life using different tones . The characters are relatable and fully developed and made me feel like apart of the story.  This is a wonderfully written story where the past and the present collide. Can Lucian and Bea find love and happiness? I highly recommend listening to this fast paced story that once you start listening you won’t want to stop until the end. I definitely will be looking at what other books this author  has written. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This story starts out letting the reader know that Hester is no ordinary girl, just like the river is no ordinary river. The river nymphs call to her to join them in the water, and she’s pulled away by a mysterious stranger before she can fall in. I love her wonderful description of the setting (I’m not sure of time and place) and character interaction within the text. Magical realism, history, folklore, green witchery, and adventure line the pages of this wonderful story!

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

Stumble and Fall was interesting. Definitely a lot of themes but they all weave together beautifully. Some very dark themes that could be trigger warnings for some, so be warned. I thoroughly enjoyed it. A story about two sisters who go through so many obstacles in their lives that most people would struggle with. Their lives intersect in a way that they never expected.
Tilly went through extreme trauma as a teen, and it’s followed her in life. Becoming a victim of DV when with her high school boyfriend she realizes now that it was bigger than her. It’s the way they recruit for the trafficking ring, and is heavily involved in what her sister and her boyfriend are currently going up against. Now moving back to her home state with current boyfriend has brought on extreme anxiety she’s trying to cope with. Till tragedy strikes….
Kate is out to take the ring down. Not only to avenge her sister but also the teenage girl she lost at the high school who got mixed up with the wrong crowd. Kate and Roman were involved deeply in trying to take down the trafficking ring recently. Kate as the high school counselor and Roman local law enforcement. Unfortunately for them it wasn’t before they could save a teenager’s life.
What happens when they get too close again?
Will they succeed this time?
I liked the story the author put on the page. Even with the darker themes I enjoyed. I look forward to digging deeper into this author’s other books. don’t let the dark themes stop you. Me, I’m going back to read book 1, since I definitely started book 2.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I saw there was a second installment of The View From Here, I had to grab it immediately! The first book was so excellent and the second did not disappoint. At the end of the first book, I wanted more, but I couldn’t figure out how that could happen with the earthquake. When the book opens with April telling Thomas she found another entrance to the realm they visited, I was excited for the newest adventure of these two friends. It seems they are more prepared on this journey, there are some laughs and a lot of mystery into this world and the beings they are seeing. The description of everything is so excellently worded, I really truly felt I was there, the world I created in my mind was so vivid. I really can’t wait to see what happens in the third book, although I am going to be sad to see it end. This author really has a way with words.

Loved this book! I didn’t see Ravenna as an “ice bitch” at all, not like the other guys on her team always said. I saw the reverse, and saw them as being childish and arrogant. The characters are all nicely developed and the whole or universe in which they live in is a fun concept. The thought and time it took to develop these ideas blew my mind. Dravos, this poor guy has been through it, but I love how he knew he had a connection to Ravenna, and she to him, even though neither wanted to admit it at first. The adventure they go on together to save Ravenna’s lover, all they encounter and go through is very engaging. I could not put this book down, it is short, but packed with romance, adventure, double crossing and action. This book painted every scene vividly into my mind and I look forward to more, especially a story involving Bethel and Tract.

Operation PinpointOperation Pinpoint by Landra Graf
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have ever read by Landra Graf and honestly, I had no idea what I was getting into. The cover and synopsis were interesting, giving me questions on what and how things happened. It took me about ten minutes to get hooked into the story, the world and characters made me curious how things worked. Captain Ravenna Joyner is a Space Force Special Ops commando. Dravos Trax is a Hirudian, ex Space Force member and now prisoner. And her scent calls to him and what he was foretold when he came of age on his home planet.

Going back and forth between Ravenna and Dravos’ POV this book will surprise you and keep your heart racing in anticipation of what will happen next. Ravenna’s lover Yve is scientist, and her ship went missing, determined to rescue her Ravenna weasels her way into the recovery mission, with one catch, she will have to report to her nemesis Captain Rothschild. Accepting the terms for the chance to find Yve, she goes to the Mothership prison to meet Rothschild and see the “tracker” meant to aid in the mission to find the missing ship. Dravos has been held captive for 5 horrible years as a prisoner and science test subject in the Space Force. He is more than double the average size of other males of his species thanks to the experiments. Instantly within seeing and hearing each other for the first time they both have a pull within them a desire for the other that they try to ignore. Finding the ship Yve has been murdered along with the others on her ship, two escape pods are missing with the possible murder. Though her heart mourns for Yve, she finds it increasingly harder and harder to resist Dravos. Dravos on the other hand refuses to be bonded to someone whose heart is claimed by another. To explain something, she doesn’t understand Ravenna blames the kill chip implanted in Dravos for the pheromone signature that is linking them, claims once the chip is out, he can drop the act and be free if he chooses not needing to pretend anymore to gain favor with the one holding the code.

What will happen if Dravos dies on the table getting the chip out? Will Ravenna still desire him? Will Ravenna finally accept Dravos and her feelings for him with it out? The author is incredible Operation Pinpoint is the most original thing I have ever read, her characters, her world everything. If you love something original and new with some spice this is the book for you, I can’t wait for the next book and to see where the story will go next.

Defying EllaDefying Ella by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and now she has a new fan. I love reading a good rocker romance but this story exceeded my expectations. This is the fourth book in the True Platinum and it could be read as a stand alone. I read it as a stand alone but now I have to know more about these other characters as well. I could not put this book down until the end. I can’t wait to see who she is going to write about next.

Ella is ready for a break from the limelight and also him. She can’t stand Jared after what he did to her. Ella gets ready to have some time with her girls and she heads to the cabin early. When she gets all settled she gets a surprise that changes her whole time away. Jared is also there and they can’t stand one another. Ella ends up going to be bed reading and when she wakes up they are covered in snow. They are both stuck in the same cabin with each other. Will Ella and Jared find a truce or will they end up hating each other more?

This is a cute set of coloring pages! Coloring is one of my favorite self-care activities. The mention of using a paper to prevent bleed throughs and to test colors out is so practical. I’m excited to share these images with my teenage daughter who also enjoys coloring.

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: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the first book in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy. It features a love triangle between Mavis, Josh, and Austin. Mavis and Josh happen to be childhood sweethearts. Austin is Josh’s brother. When the story begins Josh is getting a divorce and his ex-wife tells him that he was always in love with Mavis. At this point it had been over ten years since Mavis left unexpectedly, and only left a note that raised more questions. Mavis’ brother is also married to Josh and Austin’s sister. As the story develops we see the motivations, explanations, and realizations that each character has. I liked the relatability in this story. I am looking forward to the next book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a well written story that dives into culture, greed, and profound grief. The characters you encounter are crafted in such a way that what they are feeling or suffering from feels like you are the one with those experiences. The trauma of war with the repercussions that come from it are exposed in a light that is normally shadowed over. The lives of two different cultures living in one area is well written. Following along with the characters as time moves on and their personal journeys to healing keeps you wanting to turn the page. War related reads are not something I normally choose when picking up a story and I do not regret picking up this book. It hit me in the feelers while being an interesting read. I would highly recommend this book.

A Love Restrained (Philly Heat series, #1)A Love Restrained by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Slow-burn romance
This book was a great find. The story has a depth in characterisation that allows the reader to connect easily and to get a better understanding of the decisions that were being made. There was a realistic balance between the drama, angst, suspense and romance that made for a very strong storyline. There are time jumps within the book but I felt they were handled very well. I love dual POV but this author weaves this in an interesting way that was clever and not too distracting from the overall flow. If you are a romantic suspense fan this is one not to be missed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh I just adored this book. Kylee Parker is a Philly police officer. She is strictly by the book and all about following the rules. Jayson Donovan on the other hand is on the other side of the law. The chemistry between these two flies off the pages. How can two people with totally different backgrounds find a common ground? Will the flames ignite them or destroy them?

Wow what a story. The intricate details that this author put in to was…wow…superb. Although this book is different than what I normally read..I am so glad I picked this book up and the cover itself intrigued me. The author captures you in different time lines, but the story really comes together. This book is about what happens when poor choices full of greed come full circle and forgiveness between a man and a community of Vietnamese immigrants.

Fantastic and Highly Recommended….so well done!!
