This is book one in The Notebook Mysteries series and the third book I’ve read in the series. The story starts in the preface sometime in the future, where the narrator (we aren’t told the name) is deciding to write a book, but doesn’t know where to begin. After going through the collection of notebooks, she decides where to start the story. Throughout the book the reader is interrupted by the narrator and Dear-one as she’s writing the story. This is an interesting way to tell the story of Emma. Even though each book can be read as a stand-alone novel, this book gives the majority of backstory of the characters, as well as more details into setting. The author also includes recipes mentioned in the book. German chocolate cake wasn’t made the way it was made when I was young. I felt more pulled into the historical time in this novel. It was a nice cozy mystery for the young adult genre!

I cannot get enough of these books! The story line is great, the characters are wonderful and readers never want to put the book down. Each story is written with such detail that readers are sucked in left wanting more. The chemistry coming off the pages is electric! The characters compliment each other and while we have all read romance before, this is different!

I am honestly in love with the world LM Preston has created in the Vigilant series books. As soon as I finish one, I instantly start the next. This book gives us the third perspective of the Lewis family moving to Newport, Rhode Island. Unlike the POV of the previous 4 books (EmVee and Dex), Rei is very different from her older siblings, she is less confrontational and more of the quiet observer.
It has been a month since her family moved to the small town leaving behind her hometown New York City, Rei decides to check out the back-to-school club fair, in hopes of finding a dance club. In the parking lot Rei eavesdrops for the first time since moving, a cheerleader and her boyfriend are having an argument that leads to the girl seeing her. Megan, the girl who not only runs the school newspaper but also a down low blog surprises Rei, convincing her to work for her. Feeling foggy headed Rei agrees only to instantly be confused, as the fog cleared from her mind, as to why she would agree. She noted instantly that Megan could be pretty, but she had the eyes of a predator and that set off a strange feeling. The more Rei sees of the new town she calls home the more she feels that it is off, everything from the houses to the people seem fake, giving her the feeling that something was very wrong in the town. Meeting a few of her fellow classmates she has already gotten her first crush on a football player named Trey, and a cute cell phone charm from a girl named Yori at the club fair. On her first assignment from Megan Rei “borrows” her older sister EmVee’s car to pick up her partner after his car breaks down on the way to school. Discovering he is the boy that was arguing with the cheerleader a week earlier in the parking lot she is already feeling cold towards him, the feeling growing after she is pulled over and he tells him he was late to pay an informant that is why Rei was speeding. Hiding in a locker Rei hears her partner get beat up “hazed” by the varsity football team, she got the information needed but can’t help but feel slightly uneasy about seeing him covered in cuts and bruises. What are the diamond members and what is the secret shadow police force that Megan mentioned to her?
Rei is just as skilled as her older siblings in martial arts, but she prefers to stay hidden and learn the secrets others try to hide. Will Megan lead her into something she can’t hide from and why does she care so much about her family and their secrets? Every book in the series pulls you deeper into the world the Lewis family. Rei thinks more about how she can use things to her advantage holding back information, even about herself, until she thinks it will be the most useful. I cannot wait to read Rebel of Fire and See where Rei’s story takes her.

This was a fun easy to read love story that kept readers attention all the way through! The story line is believable, the characters are great and readers can’t help but keep flipping the pages! I really enjoyed this love story, even though I have read many I didn’t feel like this was the same old thing!

This was a really cute book! I liked the themes involved, about patience and perservence and how to work at something to achieve goals. It had a really good story for a short children’s novel. My daughter liked the pictures of this one, but she’s only 1 so she didn’t understand the meaning of it or what the author’s point was. I can’t wait to read this one to her or let her read it herself when she gets older!

This book was super intense and way out of my normal field but I thought with fall finally arriving I would try a thriller for a change of pace. This book was full of drama, suspense, amazing characters and so much more that I found it difficult to put it down. The word flow was absolutely perfect, the plot was intense and had me on the edge of my seat, and the book as a whole was just simply amazing. So if you want a new thriller to keep you on the edge of your seat then definitely pick this one up today.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect going into this book since I hadn’t read the previous two but it really read as a pretty good stand alone. While I’m sure that I would have gotten some references more efficiently had I read the previous books in the series, I’m glad I started late because now I have more exciting books to read. This book had everything that I love in a good romance from spice, mystery, suspense, tension, and of course romance. I just simply couldn’t put it down and had finished the whole thing before I knew it. So if you’re looking for a good quick romance make sure to look this one up today.

This book was truly an amazing addition to this series. Like the previous books this one could be read as a stand alone but they’re all so good why not read them all. This book was definitely full of intrigue, action, danger, amazing characters and more. This installment really tied up a lot of loose ends for me and brought the series together in a lot of ways. I personally can’t wait to see what this amazing author and her wonderful characters bring us next.

This series has been the best so far. Emma has been doing well at her firm job, and it just so happens to be break time for Christmas. What I love about this one is how it’s a twist with A Christmas Carol! Her coworker who helped her on one of her last mysteries needs a favor returned. With this favor becomes a few mysteries at once. She once again meets more drama, family love, friendships, and love with Jeremy. I love their relationship!! Thanks again for another amazing book!
River Witch was my first book by this author. I enjoyed her writing style. This is a great adult fantasy book. I loved that it was captivating, yet easy to read. I will be adding this author to my must-read list. Reviewed by @mimimadge

Moby Plays the Flute was a great story that helps teach the Importance in perseverance. I loved that while the story was short, it spanned a longer time frame and showed that while feeling defeated, Moby never gave up. I loved the artwork of this book and I am beyond impressed by this new to me author and illustrator. I’m certain my children are going to add this book to their regular book requests.

Moby is just a regular girl who didn’t like attention. But she wanted to be a good student, but it was hard for her. She wanted to be successful, so she could be happy. But she was miserable. UNTIL, her dad gave her the best gift – a flute! But, she couldn’t get it to work. She thought it was broken. Her dad told her to keep trying. But she put it away and didn’t think of it again until the next year. She finally got it to play when she found a note from her dad inside! From then on, she made beautiful music and learned to believe in herself and to never give up!

This book is one of those books that is all about the characters. The have a great connection that is believable from the moment you start reading. Their relationship was great to watch develop and to see how they changed throughout the course of the story. They were a perfect match for each other. This is an entertaining story that is easy to read. It is the perfect sort of book for a lazy afternoon. It has a great pace about it, making it engaging. This author really does know how to please her fans and this book is just one example of that. This is a great story with some truly likeable characters.

This is a fun and entertaining romance that is easy to read and very easy to enjoy. I found this to be one of those books that you get swept up in and read in one sitting. I was rooting for the characters and wanted to see how things would work out in the end. This is a new author to me and I enjoyed getting to know her writing style. She has created a book that has the right amount of romance mixed with the right amount of emotion. The book flowed well and I was caught up in the story from the moment I started reading. This was a great story and I look forward to discovering more of her work.

Fractured World: Courage in the Apocalypse Collection
This is the first book collection I’ve read like this. Each story is different. Each author is amazing. I will be looking forward to the next collection. Babysitter of the Apocalypse by Courtney Konstantin was the story that stuck out the most.
Vicki is left by herself. Zombies are everywhere and there’s not a safe place left. Her neighbor drops off her kids one day and never returns. Now Vicki is left with two kids. The quote I chose for Vicki is: “Ok Gabby, today is the day we talked about. We’re leaving today. There’s too many bad people in the building now.”

I enjoyed reading this romance book. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. One of the things I enjoy about this author is her ability to pull me into her stories with her writing skills. This book is no different. The characters pull you into the story and make you feel as if you are part of their world. This is an easy and entertaining story to read. It is fast paced and hard to put down. I enjoyed the growth of the characters as well as the plot throughout the story. A romance story where competing could be more important than love. What will happen between Tori and Cord? I enjoyed them as characters, they made the story for me. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I enjoyed reading this story. This is a well written story where the characters bring the story to life and give a new meaning to twist and turns. I enjoyed the growth of the plot and the action that made it hard to put down. A fast paced story that is entertaining to read. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the first word. The characters are connectable and kept me coming back for more. Bax is a great character. He is strong and I enjoyed his determination. He is my favorite of the story. This is a story you don’t want to miss for sure. A great story that filled my afternoon with suspense and edge sitting mystery. I highly recommend this book.
This was a phenomenal audio book! There was just so much going on in this story that I couldn’t stop listening but also didn’t want to listen for fear of what was going to happen next! I actually really didn’t want this story to end!! The authors writing was just outstanding from beginning to end I was completely hooked. The action was great, the emotion, the danger, the romance, everything was just perfect and I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Rock and Becca were amazing characters and with so many twists and turns in their story I could hardly keep up but I loved the ride that they took me on with their story. Along with the amazing writing the narration of the story was just amazing – both narrators completely brought Rock and Becca’s story to life. Absolutely fantastic audio book and one that I highly recommend.

This novel is best described, in my opinion, as interesting. The plot is not at all what I originally anticipated, but it did not disappoint. The anticipation truly kept me on edge until the very end. The only complaint I have about this book is that I could not connect with the characters. Nick is a very determined but selfish man, married to Julia who is independent yet selfless. I have no idea how these two got married and have such an amazing connection, but if Nick was my husband I would divorce him in a split second after the trip he put Julia through.
Aside from the characters, I did quite enjoy the plot. It was intense and left me guessing until the end. If you enjoy thrillers, I would recommend picking up this novel. Just because I did not connect with the characters does not mean you won’t!

This was a really nice short read. I’ve read a few books by this author and I love the characters that she creates. They are always relatable and great to read about. I really liked Jules and Mitchel, there was a great chemistry between them – although I will admit it took me a little time to warm up to Jules. The story was quite short and I definitely felt like it could be a little longer and it did feel rushed in parts but overall I still really liked it and would certainly recommend it to others, especially if you’re looking for a short read.

This was a lovely and endearing story and one that I really enjoyed. The author transported me back in time with her beautiful writing and descriptive language. Emma is a great character to read about, so inquisitive for her age. I enjoyed reading about her. The author really does have a wonderful writing style that keeps you engaged the whole way through the book. The characters were well thought out and I think this was really evident with Emma’s character, she was so much more than just your average 16 year old from that time period. She was really refreshing to read about and I loved that about her. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Oh my goodness, she might be little, but she has a black belt and will punch you out. I loved the bar scene where she knocked out Bryce. Though, my favorite was the accidental punch to Hunter towards the end. Georgia is an absolute pistol that will take you by surprise. She is just trying to run her business and save the animal shelter. Hunter just happens to be part of the crappy family that evicted them from the location where the shelter used to be. I laughed so hard while reading this book. It is definitely a love/hate relationship at the start. They grow on each other as the chemistry starts to perk. It was a delight to read and watch their relationship grow. The struggle is real, people. Love isn’t perfect. The tone and flow of the story is just right. The characters were perfect. They were so relatable. Overall, a romantic comedy to love.

So, I started this book and read it with out putting it down. This genre of apocalyptic, end-of-the-world type of story line is my favorite. I was not disappointed. Each story had its own unique version of terrifying and almost believable threads of the world ending. By the time you finish the first book about electromagnetic waves and people turning into brainless killing machines you won’t want to stop. Each story was intricate and detailed with great characters and world building. Each story draws you in and it gets better and better. I would recommend this to anyone. It will not disappoint.

Cord is the son of a family friend that comes to stay at Tori’s parents house. Oh, but the best part, he’s her competitor. She’s irritated and he just get’s under her skin. Hear that sizzle….the sound of a romance. Tori is an independent little spitfire that’s going to prove she can do what men can. The characters are fantastic. They are so relatable. I want to visit this town. The drama and romance make really feel like a cowboy town. The author has the feel just writing in the writing of the cowboy town. Perfect romance that’s a quick, enjoyable read. The ending will get you!!!

This is an amazing romance. Kennedy is one strong woman out to prove she can do what she wants, where she wants in whatever profession she wants. She doesn’t care if it’s a male dominated one. Hunter just wants to prove he’s more than a cowboy. He’s not just a rancher. I loved the chemistry between them. The story flows well. The drama and romance are perfect. This is a quick romance that is quite entertaining.

This book was a pretty simple storyline but told in a way that made me want to keep reading. It was interesting to consider the literal “blind” date idea. Jake and his billionaire friends are loyal friends, always supporting one another, and always egging each other on. The whole group is incredibly likeable and familial. Lauren was kind of a lone wolf until she met them, but once Catherine befriended her, she became part of the fold.
Jake is tired of gold diggers pursuing him and just wants someone he can relax and enjoy their company – WITHOUT being after his money. That’s why he decided to take a chance when his friends introduced him to the idea of the new blind date restaurant – and each friend choosing 1 person to go on a date with him. After the first one turned out to be exactly what he DIDN’T like, he wasn’t keen on going on any more – but he agreed to one from each friend, so he was going to go for it. Little did any of them know, Catherine had manipulated the system a bit and got HER choice – Lauren – set up for his second date.
After hitting it off, Jake is excited to pursue knowing his mystery date better, but Lauren is nervous. It’s been a very long time since she dated, and having watched her mothers relationships as she grew up, she wants to be careful to be sure there’s a connection before coming out of the dark. Before long, they inadvertantly discover who their blind date was, and the book progresses from there. It’s a sweet romance and they’re both a bit surprised to find how well suited they are for one another when they discover their date.
Quick, sweet read with a lot of nice relationship building in the background. There’s a touch of drama here and there, but it’s very straightforward with the plotline. Enjoyed it a lot.

I really loved the story of Cord and Tori. The author does an amazing job with the characters. The story is engaging and entertaining. I love Tori, she is an amazingly strong female lead and I love her determination to make a change. She wants to join the male dominated world of bronc riding. She wants to compete with the best and she knows she has what it takes. However it isn’t a female friendly sport and people have always told her that she would never be able to compete in such a male dominated sport. Now she was going to prove them all wrong and pave the way for women to participate in this sport. She will come up against some strong competition for this buckle including the current champ Cord.
Cord is currently doing well on the rodeo circuit and doesn’t see that changing until he sees his fellow competitor Tori. When Tori isn’t swayed by his charms at first Cord doesn’t know how to deal with such a strong willed and determined female but slowly he starts to break down the strong willed exterior to see the woman underneath. Tori won’t make it easy for him though and with her main focus being on winning the rodeo and proving her friends and family wrong she can’t allow herself to be distracted by a handsome talented cowboy.
I really enjoyed seeing this relationship grow and bloom as they both learn to understand and respect the other person for their abilities and as friendship changes to something more can they both keep their head to focus on winning?

Euphoric Wonderland is an engaging and transporting collection of poetry. It’s beautifully presented with decoratively coloured pages that are a welcome change to the usual white on black.
The poems address a variety of topics – some charting the poet’s personal journey and highlighting his influences (much is said on the topic of The Beatles…) and others more abstract. There’s a beautiful and considered use of language in many and they flow – you can tell they’re being spoken out loud.
My favourites include Schumann or Human You Wish That We Knew Him, Carnation Formation For Our Admiration and A Shape Escaped, No Need for Breaks. They really captured my imagination and I enjoyed reading them!
This book gets four stars from me, and I would love to read more from this poet. Euphoric Wonderland is certainly “An Eclectic Collection” – I’d really like to read something with a clearer narrative or thematic thread running through it to draw me from one poem to the next. But the poems themselves are fantastic, and the collection is a great demonstration of the author’s talents!
