Grave Digger Academy (Grave Digger Academy Book 1) by C.A. King – Review by Amy Brennan

Grave Digger AcademyGrave Digger Academy by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a handful of novels by this author, and she has yet to disappoint. Her ability to bring the characters to life, and to have the reader feel as though they are standing inside the world of the characters, is something to cherish. I was very much looking forward to reading this series, as one of my favorite television shows has the same sort of feel and antics so I dove head first. And came up for air at the end of this novel, that same day. It appears that this is something that a few readers so far have done. Devoured it.

All families have secrets, and much to Makayla’s dismay, she discovers more and more throughout her stay at Grave Digger Academy, through her own research, and the information presented to her through other characters. The way she handles and stands up for herself is wonderful, and she is a strong, independent female character that I look forward to experience further adventures with. I cannot wait to jump into the next installment, which will likely be this weekend. Goosebumps, shivers and laughs have me highly recommending this experience, well done!

Hard Lover (Houston After Dark Book 2) by Deborah Garland – Review by Kerry Carr

Hard Lover (Houston After Dark #2)Hard Lover by Deborah Garland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a very hot and steamy read. The connection and attraction between the main character is electric and jumps off the page. As a reader you are completely consumed by this couples feelings and attraction. You feel the fight that they go through to not give into their feelings but sometimes there is nothing you can do to fight the attraction.

Callie has lived a protected life with her over protective brother but she is a grown woman and feels its time to go after what she wants. And what she wants is her brother best friend Noah.
When she goes to a club hoping to bump into him she gets more than she imagined when she witnesses him with another woman. This vision caused her crush to go from simmering to boiling hot and she knows there is no turning back.

Noah spots Callie in the crowd watching him. He is shocked but also completely captivated by her. His feelings for her change and grow and he wants her so bad.

When Callie is attacked, he takes her in with the intention to protect her as a favour to her brother but as time goes on he realises that he’s also doing it for himself. He is falling for her and can’t help himself.
However, this romance isn’t going to be plain sailing. By being with him Callie is in danger and no matter how much he wants her he needs her to keep her distance to protect her from someone in his past.

Can they ignore their feelings? Can Noah risk putting Callie in danger for a chance of a happy life? Will this couple finally get to embrace their attraction to each other or will things from the past and Callie’s brother have other ideas?

This is one book that you won’t be able to put down and this couple will drag you into their story and they won’t let go.

Hard Lover (Houston After Dark Book 2) by Deborah Garland – Review by Tracy Greenhalgh

Hard Lover (Houston After Dark #2)Hard Lover by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and had my work life balance allowed I would have read it in one sitting. It is an emotional, dramatic and occasionally dark best friends little sister romance.
This is the second book in the series, but is great as a stand-alone, I can defiantly say I am going to go back to the start and read the first book.
Callie Rose has for years hidden the fact that she has feelings for her brothers’ best friend. After her parents are jailed, she is raised by her brother so her relationship with him is extremely close. And his view of his little sister is that of one that he needs to protect, as their father is not around. Studying at College Callie makes the decision to try and win the affection of Noah.
Noah an Army veteran has a past that he is trying to keep in the past. He has someone who is threatening those he becomes close to. His boss and best friend know nothing about this, and although he has feelings towards his best friends sister, he knows he cannot put her at risk by having a relationship with her. He vents his sexual feelings at The Stable, the local sex club. This works well until the night Callie Rose sits there watching him. But who else is watching, as his past continues to follow him, car accidents, attacks and drugging all add up to an all-encompassing read with a healthy smattering of explicit content.

Scepter of Fire (The Vigilant Book 2) by LM Preston – Review by Jenni Bishop

Scepter Of Fire (Vigilant, #2)Scepter Of Fire by L.M. Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Make sure to read these books in order and especially read Unbreakable Darkness book 1.5 in the series. It is Dexter’s story and is the prequel to this book Scepter of Fire which is book 2.

The Vigilant series is YA paranormal supernatural stories. Mix in some fantasy and science fiction and you have this adventure where suspense, betrayal and mystery, danger and sacrifice, paranormal beings/creatures and magic will lure you in. The story is action packed and fast-paced.

In this book we see Dexter trying to fix things he did in the past. Once again it is time to face things head on and hope he can save the others.

The ending of this book sets us up for the next.

It took me a while to get into the flow of these books but now I am enjoying it.

THE MERMAID AND THE ICE CUBE NECKLACE (MERMAID SCIENCE) BY LOIS WICKSTROM – REVIEW BY CARLIE DEL GALLO

The Mermaid and the Ice Cube Necklace (Mermaid Science)The Mermaid and the Ice Cube Necklace by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow this book is such a cute fun read for not only children but the adults reading this for their kids! The story revolves around two friends at a picnic talking about ice cubes and science. One of the children, Maia wants to make a necklace for her mermaid friend, Trezzie, after she asks for one. The other child, Fig, could not see Trezzie and was then letting her friend know the science behind ice cubes and water. It was a super cute, fun, educational read that all children will love. The illustrations are very colorful and wonderfully drawn which made reading this book even more fun and captivating! If you are looking for an author who writes amazing children and adult’s books, then look no further because Lois’s writing is PERFECT for all ages!

Sessrumnir (Antipodes #5)Sessrumnir by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

Sessrúmnir is the fifth book in this great dystopian post-apocalyptic story. Unfortunately, it is also the last book in this series. I have read all the books in this series and will tell you to make sure to read the books in order. If you don’t you are missing out on so much and each book gets better than the last. The characters have become favourites as I have journeyed along with them with their struggles and lives so far.

Tanya’s writing draws you in and makes you invested in the what happens. But expect the unexpected when reading her books.

Emotions run high as once again everything is in peril and everyone must come together once again to fight for what they love most. Who can they trust?

I look forward to what comes next from this author.

Brilliant!
The girl who escaped is an engaging read and is well written. The characters are intriguing and easy to love. Angie has been through a massive trauma and I felt all her emotions. Brenda is such a strong character and is so driven. I haven’t read the Jake Wolfe series by this author and didn’t realise that Jake and Cody from this book had their own books but I am definitely going to check them out. I loved their characters. With suspense and edge of seat moments, this crime thriller is a must read. Highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series!! The men and leading ladies give every story such life, and who doesn’t love a good vampire story. The Consulate is still set in their way or no way and are hell bent on fellow Vampires carrying out demands. Romano and Raven have chemistry that’s beyond Lust, but the vampire and witch thing doesn’t sit well on any end in this world. As tensions high and loyalty vs love comes to play we see just how true a mate bond can be.

Dexter didn’t like being a pawn. It seems life was taking him there though. He and his father never saw eye to eye, but being captured and tortured for his father’s mistakes gave Dexter too much to think about. First, the girl he lost; he’d never forget what they did to her. It changed him, and made him see the small city where his father moved him was a prison for magicals, the damned, and now him. Too bad, the creator of the Void didn’t realize they would be better off if they’d set him free, because now he was fighting for his life, and someone he’d have to hide his feelings from to protect, not just from those that want to drag them back, but from himself—a vigilant.

His secret tragedy

Her hidden desire

And their willingness to risk everything… 

Rafael Marroquin believes he’s cursed. He refuses to get close to people, because when he does, they get hurt. To his friends in Moon Harbor, Raf is known as the quiet, reliable one who never causes trouble. But if the town found out about his tragic past, they’d think differently. 

After the death of her parents, everyone in town has treated Ellie Waters as delicate. All she wants is to live life on her terms and carve her own path. And maybe finally hook up with Rafael, the man she’s secretly pined for since she was a teen. Ellie’s all grown up now, but Raf still sees her as his best friend’s kid sister—or does he? 

But just as their friendship finally gives way to all-consuming chemistry, the past rears its ugly head and threatens everything. Their town is at risk. Ellie is in danger. And trouble comes for Raf, in more ways than one. 

Can they save each other before it’s too late? And can their love survive?

Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale, #1)Ashes by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When an author does a fairytale retelling it can go wrong or like in this case it can go AMAZINGLY RIGHT.

This modern day retelling of Cinderella was done with respect to the original. The storyline took some twists from the original that just made this book even better then I thought it would be.

Be warned there is some heartwrenching parts that will make you ugly cry. But it’s totally worth it.

Unearthly Magik (Black Cauldron Detective Agency Book #1) by Matilda Reyes – Review by Angela Hayes

Unearthly Magik (Black Cauldron Detective Agency Book 1)Unearthly Magik by Matilda Reyes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Unearthly Magik is the first book in the Black Cauldron Detective Agency series by Matilda Reyes. It is a superb urban fantasy full of mages, action, adventure, drama, magic, the supernatural/paranormal, suspense, danger, agendas, wonderful world-building, crime & investigation, tension, secrets, and mystery.
I really loved the premise of the story, and having read a few of Ms. Reyes other books, I couldn’t wait to dive into this one. I loved the characters, the whole supernatural detective agency trope, the missing (powerful and dangerous) grimoire, the plots and agendas, the wonderful world-building of the hidden ‘world’ within New York City, the friendships/banter/quips/antics, the adventure that results from the search for the grimoire, the other ‘jobs’ the agency investigates, and the fact that there is more to come in this series- as I am definitely hooked by Ava and co.
Whilst I did enjoy the story, there were quite a few editing issues with this book that I am sorry to say definitely detracted from my overall appreciation of the whole story. Little things, like missing words, wrong words, unfinished sentences, and repeated info, meant that I was regularly ‘pulled out’ of the story- which left me frustrated. This should/could have been a 5+ Star read, but unfortunately it was let down by simple editing issues.
The story does have a lot going on in it, and has a fairly fast pace, which the author does choreograph quite well. The story easily captured my attention and imagination, and pulled me into a wonderful adventure (minus the editing issues). I also appreciated that the characters were really well-developed individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws- who continued to evolve, develop and grow over the course of the story.
I am looking forward to seeing where we go from here. Bring on Book #2!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Matilda Reyes!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Emma (Notebook Mysteries Book 1) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Jess Engel

Emma (Notebook Mysteries #1)Emma by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A delightful, easy read! I really enjoyed this historical, cozy mystery following amateur, teen sleuth, Emma. Set in the late 1800s in Chicago, this story gives the reader a rich history and insight to the time and provides great setting and cases for Emma to discover.

The character and story development were excellent. Emma is an independent, compassionate, and lovable character. Though the story begins with great loss, her resilience shines through. This action packed and often unpredictable cozy mystery is highly recommended. I will be picking up the rest of the series!

True Colors (The Colors Trilogy Book 3) by K.R. Raye – Review by Beverly Finnie

True ColorsTrue Colors by K.R. Raye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was the PERFECT ending to a wonderful trilogy. True Colors completes The Colors Trilogy and I loved every minute. I’m sad that it’s time to let these characters go. I guess it’s time to go back to book 1! This author brings to you a trio of friends throughout this series who have literally been put through the ringer. Every bad thing you could imagine to happen does, but it’s evenly balanced because it’s the same with the good.
Lance, Melody, and Imani are the friends I want in my life. Completely dedicated to one another, to protect and love each other. I loved all three equally, but I felt this reading book 1 and now that I’m finishing book 3, I can say that I’ve been partial to Imani. She’s so strong, yet so stubborn. I absolutely love everything about her. My heart breaks for her at the beginning of book 3, but she rises up and perseveres and I would expect nothing less.
To embrace these books and, yes I mean books, you need to understand that there’s going to be some heavy and strong themes running throughout. That could be potential trigger warnings, I don’t want that to deter you though. These books are wonderful and this author has me looking for her next book.
In conclusion, if you read books 1 & 2, what are you waiting for?!? If you haven’t please get all three and dive in deep into book 1. One you won’t want to put them down. Two you will fall in love with these three main characters and their supporting cast. Finally you will have found yourself a new author to love. That will test what you can handle, but give you some enlightening perspectives on viewing life.

Makayla is the main protagonist in this story. At first you feel bad for her because she has failed to join any of the higher caliber academies, the last one of all her least favorite, is her only chance. Trying to get her way out of the Grave Digger academy she doesn’t learn much, until she has no choice but to learn. This story was wonderfully written, and it blew me away. The author set everything up wonderfully and it just kept going. There were no awkward lulls in the book, and you didn’t feel pushed to get through the story. You could read it at your own pace, and still get sucked into the story. I can’t wait to see what book 2 brings to this wonderful series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Although I wouldn’t say I’m a history fan, I’ve always enjoyed reading historical fiction. I picked this book to see if my kids would enjoy reading it. I’m glad I did read this book and would recommend it to teens, especially if they enjoy paranormal stories.
Azreya was born with amber eyes and her family is scared she has been cursed due to a deformity or marking on her arm. Her parents travel with the infant Azreya to meet the shaman Nukpana for help. Nukpana sends them away with a promise for Azreya to be brought back to him when she is around 3 or 4 years old so he can begin training her and see what skills she possesses to become an asset to the city in the future.
What a great way to start a book, to get the reader interested with the birth of Azreya and how her parents react to her differences. The book is well written and I think most readers would connect with the characters fairly quickly.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This is another fantastic book I’ve read by the author. Emma is the first book in the Notebook Mysteries Series. It doesn’t need to be read first, but it is nice to know how her story started.

Emma is trying to figure out her life and where she wants it to go. She finds her mother’s journal and finds that her mom was trying to solve a case. She finishes the case for her mom and finds out what really happened to her. The quote I chose for Emma is: “You know my name is Emma. My full name is Emma Evans. I work as an investigator occasionally. Someone I know asked me to look into your family. It wasn’t meant to be malicious, they were worried about you. I will continue if that is alright.”

Highly recommended for YA Cozy Mystery lovers.

This is a wonderful anthology for charity with so many wonderful stories with love, laughter and heartbreaking moments from fantastic authors. I am reviewing 3 of the stories…but they are all wonderful!

Clara’s Story by C.A. King — this story can hit home to anyone…heartbreaking in so many parts but there was also moments that tug at my heartstrings. Clara is a devoted mother and wife but she also has these moments of worry, especially when raising her daughter, Kristen. Raising a teenager is never easy, but when your world comes crashing down with a flash…..Clara does everything to be there for Kristen. This story really tug at me, and seemed so real. Wonderful story of heartbreak, sorry but also there is light at then end of that dark tunnel.

Rock Star Lawyer by Rose Bak – this is a romance story full of sizzle when two different people come to work together on a benefit concert….but fall in love. Jayden Oliver was part of a rock band with his brothers and had quite a fan base. When it was time to move on, Jayden became a lawyer to help people and keep a low profile. Alona Pavlenko is smart, a bit of sass and all about keep the task at hand to work with Jayden on this benefit concert strictly professional. Little did she know the Oliver family loves hard and forever.

After the Rein by JA Lafrance — this is all about standing up for yourself when you are put down by your own family and husband. Rein Brooks was totally heartbroken when her husband up and leaves her…leaving her feeling down, degraded and out. When Rein steps on Paddy Nickels foot by accident this is when the story takes off. Paddy is nothing like Rein’s ex, Mack. Paddy see’s all the good in Rein…..but at first doesnt know how to be what she needs in his life, except to hear her.

I thought this was a really fun YA paranormal series beginning novel! I am definitely excited to read the rest of the stories and see how the series turns out. I thought the characters were a lot of fun and Makayla was a great heroine with a bit of an edge to her. She isn’t above breaking some rules and having fun, but she isn’t a mean girl and tries to be inclusive. The story sets up a couple of different mysteries that I am excited to hopefully see play out in the rest of the series. The book is a lighthearted read and covers an entire school year, so at times some of the timeline did feel a bit quick, but still easily followed. There was quite a bit of humor in a book about witches and Grave Diggers which made it all the more enjoyable to read. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

Ashes by MK Harkins is a modern-day retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale. Ashley is an outsider that gets bullied by her peers at school and is disliked by her stepmother. Harry is the “bad-boy” pop star attending her high school while he cleans up his act. They find that they have an instant connection when she hides hum from fans but it remains to be seen if they’ll be able to stay together. This is a pretty good read. I like the relationship between Ashley and Harry. The book has nice twists to keep it interesting. There is a good amount of character development, especially for Harry. This is a very good retelling of Cinderella. If you enjoy modern-day fairy tales, you will enjoy this book.

This was a good book with a great story! It was very fast paced, which I loved, except it seemed like with the fast pacing some things were rushed that could have been explained more thoroughly and taken some extra time to devote to. It’s like the timing was skipping around all over the place. I loved the story and premise, the storyline and plot, it just didn’t feel all that well executed to me. I was entertained though, and I would read thr next installment of this series.

This is the first book in the Teagan Stone series. She wakes up, locked in a room, with no recollection of how she got there. She is then told she was an undercover agent and they need her back for another mission. All she remembers is being a wife and mother. She is whisked away to another country without talking to her family. I really enjoyed her strong female character and was on the edge of my seat a few times. Very quick read, but a good one. Really looking forward to the next one.
