Azreya, Aztec PriestessAzreya, Aztec Priestess by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, what a great and fascinating story!! It was a nice change of pace for me and a wonderful surprise of a story as I sat and was totally engrossed in this world of mythology and fantasy and followed along with Azreya and her journey.

Azreya’s journey starts when she is little…..originally thought to be “cursed”. Her family invests into a shaman to help, Nukpana. As Nukpana helps Azreya understand her gifts, she also has to learn to tame her inner beast. Not all what it seems to Azreya, as she wants to protect her Aztec people and also is deceived by those around her.

Wonderful story and captured me right from the beginning. I also loved the beginning glossary of the Aztec words (so I know what they mean) and the illustrations as it gave me a sense of the characters in the story. Well Done and Highly Recommended!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Stars!

This anthology is filled with stories for anyone and everyone no matter the genre you like to read. I loved to see new to me authors along with authors I’ve come to love reading. C.A. King being one of those. Her story hit home as a mother myself and doing anything you can for your child no matter what.
The others in this anthology are all so great as well and I can’t pick another to pinpoint as they were great in their own ways.

Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale, #1)Ashes by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When I read the blurb about this story, I was kinda interested and thought I would take a chance on something a little different for me. Well, call me hooked. The story is fabulous. I love the way the threads of the classic are woven into the modern. It is not a simple retelling, it is more of reinvention of the fairytale genre.

Ashley Jones is still lost in the grief of her father’s recent death when her step-mother moves her to Washington State for an investment opportunity. Ash starts working for the family funeral home. This makes high school super fun (note the sarcasm). Ash is isolated until Laura moves to town.

Harry James is a pop star. Harry and his best friend accidentally burned down their high school chem lab. As part of Harry’s probation, he must attend and graduate from a normal high school. Guess whose school he attends. From the moment Harry first meets Ash, he knows she is different. She doesn’t care about his superstar status. He can be himself, the real him, with her. As their friendship develops, obstacles and people try to prevent them from being together. It looks like disaster for Ash and Harry.

Like the magic in this modern reinvention, any reader will be put under the spell of this author and her fantastically woven tapestry. Awesome series!!

What a Story! I Loved it! It moves along at a great pace! That was one of my favorite things. I was leery of the Part 1,2,3 but it actually flowed very well. The characters! Woo Wee do I love them! I was able to “get into” the characters head and thoughts. I felt right along with them. Happiness, frustration, disbelief and anguish. Her parents are saints! In fact I wish they could adopt me. They really have their family at heart. All of the main and secondary characters had forward movement or growth.

I actually really enjoyed this and read it in a couple days. This is my first book by this author. I will keep an eye out for more from her.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is cute, sweet and oh so sexy. Set in the 1800’s when society mattered and reputations were important. Celia Buchanan and Gabriel Rose pushed the limits of society and each other. I enjoyed this story. It was easy to read and follow. Both characters had their own angst and past problems to be worked out. Little did they know they would need one another to make their world right.

“She felt…right. It was the only way he could describe it. Right in his world of everything wrong.”

This story includes many sexy scenes and includes dirty words along with consensual adult situations. I would recommend this author and story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a combination of two cute children’s stories in one book. The first story, A Present for the Volcano, has the two dinosaur friends work together to make a necklace for the volcano who is about to erupt. In the second story, Saving Conifer’s Eggs, the friends are united to work together to keep a forest fire from damaging Conifer’s eggs. I think both of these stories would be a good addition to a classroom library. There are social, emotional messages of cooperation and teamwork, creative thinking to problem solve, emotional regulation, and friendship in the book. Kids who enjoy dinosaur stories would also engage well with these books. The illustrations also add a vivid picture to the words.

The Colors of Love (Colors Trilogy, #2)The Colors of Love by K.R. Raye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I believe that this author is trying to break me. After the horrible relationship in the first book, one would think that Melody would get a break. Nope. Then throw in Marco and Imani, Imani and Lance, Lance and Heather, graduation and so much more. I don’t know if I can take book three but I know I will read it.

If I wasn’t already attached to these characters from the first book, my attachment grew deeper with the second book. I have a feeling that I am going to be shattered after the third book. There was soooooo much that happened in this book. This story picks up immediately after the tragedy that ended the first. Melody is recovering. Imani and Lance, each facing their own guilt and recovery, protect and shield Melody from everything. Imani finds an unexpected love. Melody faces heartbreak, again, and again. Lance discovers a family secret that leads to a positive outcome. Everyone graduates. Lance gets drafted. Lance gets injured. Lance marries Heather. Melody needs a guardian angel. Imani marries Marco. Imani gets a premonition.

The rollercoaster of emotions doesn’t end. The bounds of this friendship are tested time and time again, but they prove to be strong and elastic. I can’t wait to dive into the third book. This series is phenomenal.

While I generally enjoy second chance romances, something was lacking for me with the characters in this story. We meet Josh and Mavis, high school sweethearts with future plans until Mavis unexpectedly leaves to protect Josh’s future. In her years away, she reconnects with Josh’s twin, Austin where these two form a relationship. Mavis eventually returns home to mend ways with Josh, Austin and her brother which leads to emotional breakthroughs. I found myself drawn more towards the storyline of Mitch and Lauren. While the storyline is enjoyable, my intrigue for the main characters was just not there and I found Mavis selfish in her decisions.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this romance Suspense story. It is a story that is full of twists and turns that keeps the reader guessing. The author does a great job with the characters. Both of them are very strong characters and their attraction to each other leaps off the page. I also love how the author has given them so much depth by including all their past history. It makes the characters more realistic and their story more believable.

In this story we follow Kaylee and Jayson. Both of them have history from high school. Feelings and emotions that were denied at the time and crossed wires turned them against each other.
Now their lives collide again and yet again then are on opposite sides.

Kaylee is a police officer. She loves her job and is determined to be the best officer she can be. However a routine capture of a drug dealer will turn her life and everything she thought was right upside down.

Jayson is the guy she busts and even after all the years apart his feelings for her come racing back to the surface. He couldn’t be with her when they were younger but he will stop at nothing to get her now. But will Kaylee be able to see past who he has become and his life of crime to find the boy that stole her heart at school? And what will the consequences be if Kaylee starts getting close to a suspect that police want to catch? Will they get their HEA or will Kaylee’s job and Jaysons life be too much for the attraction to survive. This story will keep.you gripped and the twists in the story means you definately won’t be able to stop reading

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ashes is a great modern day retelling of Cinderella. Ashley doesn’t believe in love. She pushes people away before Ashley can be rejected. This story still has the evil stepmother and stepsisters from the original Cinderella. This time, they are more diabolical by using baked goods to kill people. Thankfully, Ashley meets Harry, her prince charming. I love that their relationship survives all of the obstacles that are thrown their way. Also enjoyed the fact that Ashley’s friend Laura was actually a fairy that helped her find love. Ashes is great for anyone who loves fairytales and romance books.

Agent Red: Fatal Memory (Teagan Stone, #1)Agent Red: Fatal Memory by Ava S. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

Fatal Memory is the first book in the Teagan Stone series. It is a political spy thriller that is full of danger and mystery, suspense and intrigue, secrets and lies. Fatal Memory is a fast-paced short read.

Teagan was a notorious spy in a world of espionage and deadly assassins. She has had enough of this world and is now focusing on her family but all that changes as her past comes knocking on her door.

The premise of the story is good but it just didn’t have the impact and structure I would have liked to have seen. I wanted more.

However, this is only the first book and I look forward to seeing the story and characters grow.

True ColorsTrue Colors by K.R. Raye
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

This is the third and last book in the Colors Trilogy. True Colors is 1 – 2 years on from the others and the once strong bond between the 3 friends, Melody, Imani, and Lance is not what it was but they once again find that they need to lean on each other when tragedy strikes. But is their past and the divide too great to bring them fully back together and to trust each other? I strongly suggest you read these books in order or you are missing out on too much back story.

This contemporary New Adult story has secrets and lies, pain and suffering, hopes and stubborn pride, ghosts and lost love, horrors and hardships that may just be too much.

The title of this book is apt as we see just what the true colours of the characters are now.

In Plain Sight: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 8In Plain Sight: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 8 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Logan is now living a new life, with marrying Ben and moving to Oregon she is clam and relaxed. With this new life comes new pleasure and although she still enjoys her beloved violin, she has taken up running in the morning through the beautiful scenery of the Oregon coast.

This then gives Logan an idea to volunteer at the local wildlife rescue centre and while enjoying the job and caring for the magnificent creatures there she becomes embroiled within an investigation of a co-worker who she found dead within the autopsy suite, and in typical Logan style is drawn into the drama and thriller that finds her the target of the killer.

I have read all the books in this series and yet again this book is amazing. I love the character of Logan as she is strong, determined and tries to find justice for though who cannot, this book delves further into the relationships Logan hold dear to her and I loved the twists and turns with each word written and page turned.
Although I believe this can be read as a stand-alone book, it maybe advisable to read the others just for some point of references and to see how this character has developed through the series but as I say this is not a necessity to enjoying this story. With these stories I always feel like I am a secondary character walking through the details with Logan and being engaged with each turn of the page.

Yet again this is a wonderful thriller and I hope that they continue so we can see more of the growth of these wonderful characters.

Wishes don’t always turn out the way you hope…
From Brick & Darkness is the exciting debut novel from J.L. Sullivan. It is a wonderfully woven YA urban fantasy with mystery, magic, action, adventure, suspense, puzzles, manipulation, agendas, angst, drama, folklore, friendship, and more.
A yearning for a better life, an unusual ring, a sinister djinn, and plenty of danger- Dax is about to discover that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
An engrossing and fun read. Looking forward to seeing what Mr. Sullivan does next.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, J.L. Sullivan!

Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale Series Book 1)

This a modern day Cinderella with a much darker vibe and I enjoyed every moment of it.

Ashley lives with her step mother and step sisters who do everything possible to make Ashley as miserable as humanely possible plus a little more for good measure. But the suffering doesn’t end there, she has to deal with it at school as well.

Harry isn’t perfect, he doesn’t stand up for himself or his happiness.  He meets Ashley and all of that changed for him.

You would think the story would go as expected but I think that would have made a pretty predictable story and this was anything but.

I can’t wait for the next book to be released,  I need to know what happens next for Ashley and Harry but also need to read how George finds his happiness.

The Girl Who EscapedThe Girl Who Escaped by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first book I’ve read by Mark Nolan and I had really high hopes from the synopsis. The story itself is pretty interesting, but I sort of felt that some elements were a little off. It didn’t flow quite as well as I was hoping it would and skipped around from thought to thought. Overall, the characters were imaginative and somewhat believable, although some seemed extremely far fetched, like the prince and those in his employ. There are plenty of unsavory characters in the world, he just seems to be the true embodiment of evil (I guess that may have been Nolan’s point?). There is a great point I think in the beginning of The Girl Who Escaped that tells the reader to always be aware of your surroundings because even in the fun, carefree times, there is still evil around. Overall, not a bad read, but kind of disjointed.

This is an interesting story that contains some parts that are based on the mythology from the Aztec people. A young girl is born with what some believe to be a curse but there are those who understand and know the truth. As we watch Azreya grow and learn we see the strength she finds in herself. Her story is one of survival and belief. Lessons are learned and friendships made. Azreya’s life has its ups and downs as she learns to use her gifts. Those that enjoy YA and mythology will not be disappointed in this book. The story moves at a good pace and is full of adventure with a depth of characters and meaning.

Agent Red was a very fast read. Jumping right into Teagan’s “kidnapping” and reintroduction to The Firm to save an old team mate who had gone missing.

Page turning action from beginning to end.

I really liked this book. It was well written and a quick read. Jake and his friends agreed to select a blind date from an app for each other. Jake is the first to be set up. The typical girls they have dated are always after their money or status. The App is suppose to be a way for them to meet someone on literally a true blind date. I really loved the concept of the app as it is definitely unique. Lauren’s friend who is rich wants to set her up using the same app. The biggest issues Lauren has with her friend setting her up is that she doesn’t want someone who has money. Who she ends up on the blind date with is the last person she expected. I can’t wait to read the next installment.

I put on my favorite songs, which included quite a few discographies from the Beatles, and just let the words fill my soul as the music washed over me. The author has a well-rounded musical and literary background, which was clear in the different poems. The poems were varied and each had a different feeling and vibe to them. Scattered throughout the book, we would then get the musings of the author about how he came to write and why he chose to write the poems in his collections. He is definitely an author I will be keeping an eye out for and this will be a collection that I know I will be reaching for in the future when I an looking for an escape and a new way to look at feelings.

Throw in a fairy godmother and a charming prince of pop- I can see where the series derives its name. I definitely can’t wait for more installments in this series.

A retelling of Cinderella and I LOVED it! The main character is Ashley Adams. After her dad passes away she is stuck with her stepmother, Veronica, and her stepsisters whom she refers to as the M and M’s. Veronica decided to open a funeral home where Ashley does the make up for the deceased and tried to keep to herself. She is an outcast at school except her one great friend Laura. Harry James is a pop star who caught his chemistry lab on fire and now has to attend regular school to finish his senior year. As he is running from a mob of girls he runs into Ashley and into the funeral home. They hit it off, but then school starts and there are many things that go wrong. The characters are so likable and I was rooting for them through the entire book. The setting is in Washington, my home state, so I always love that connection! There are twists and turns and it is a total page turner. I can’t wait for the next book to come out!
