Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! (Donovan Trait Book 2) by Seelie Kay – Review by Katie Turner

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! (Donovan Trait Book 2)Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass! is the second book to the Donovan Trait series, by Seelie Kay. Wedding bells are ringing for my friends Donovan Trait and newly turned vampire, Shirley Magnusen! But when Seelie comes down with feeling under the weather, they make a new discovery… she is pregnant! While they are both quite excited about the news, the Vampire Coalition does not mirror their happiness. The Trait’s find themselves escaping to an island for vampires, and is ran by vampire nuns.

I just love the twists in this book. And while I giggled at some of the concepts initially, such as ‘vampire nuns’.. it all WORKS. Seelie makes everything flow together well. Her writing is fantastic and it grips you tight and pulls you into the world she weaves upon the pages. I do recommend reading the first installment before picking this book up. It will be so worth it. I cannot wait to dive into book 3!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Leona is living my dream! I have always wanted to own a small bookstore/coffee shop. So when I found this book, I knew it would be right up my alley. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Following Leona’s matchmaking skills showed just how much she knows her customers and what goes on in their lives. Which is not something you can find in a big box bookstore. She weaves her web of love and is quite surprised when she finds herself stuck in it! It was such a joy to read as she finds her own adventure in romance. You will be rooting for her “happily ever after,” the whole way!

Truth or Kill (Twisted Legends Collection Book 1) by A.C. Kramer – Review by Sara Grantham

Truth or Kill (Twisted Legends Collection, #2)Truth or Kill by A.C. Kramer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Dark Romance” is right! This book was twisted and alluring, so much so that I read it all in a few hours. I couldn’t risk putting it down and not getting the answers to the endgame. As the story unravels, I never quite knew what to expect! Little hints were sprinkled into the story, but I could never fully anticipate what was to come.

This story follows Sydney as she is thrown in with the wolves – almost literally. She was invited at the last minute to attend a retreat with 13 heirs to a large corporation. Even though she is the odd one out, she ends up getting clued into some of the mysterious inner workings of a game they are all playing. Watching Sydney evolve throughout the story – especially at the hands of Kage – was intense. Lots of steamy and suspenseful scenes to keep me hooked!

Truth or Kill (Twisted Legends Collection, #2)Truth or Kill by A.C. Kramer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beware there are triggers!

“Welcome to the darkness, my little black rose. Blood is your new currency. And it’s time to pay the price.”

Truth or Kill is a thrilling new adult story and the first book in this series. I enjoyed the unique plot which is a dark, with a little humour and twisted bloody game. I have read a lot of this authors books that are paranormal, magic books that I loved but love her dark and twisted tale is even better. The story is cleverly woven with intrigue and suspense.

There’s plenty of passion, secrets, vengeance, thrills, deranged games, drama, dangerous agendas, murder, mystery and so much more. This is a short read with lots of twist and turns.

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies Book 7) by Toni Aleo – Review by Jenni Bishop

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having not read anything before written by this author I must say I enjoyed Toni’s writing style. I was totally invested in this emotional story. I didn’t realise this was the seventh book in the series but didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything. But having said that I will be going back to read the others. This story is raw and real and full of struggles but you cannot help falling in love with the characters.

This beautifully written tale is Evan and Callie’s story. Evan is dealing with mental health and self-worth problems but one sweet woman who is strong and sassy maybe just what he needs.

Dealing with mental health problems myself brought the story that much closer to home in this wonderful read.

Blood & Vengeance (The Casket Girls Book 2) by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Jenni Bishop

Blood & Vengeance (The Casket Girls #2)Blood & Vengeance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I saw AD had another book, I jumped at the chance to read it. Blood & Vengeance is the intense second book in this dark series and a great paranormal Vampire romance story. AD does dark paranormal romance well. I loved the mystery, the mythology and historical facts of the Casket Girls from the first book and this one was no different.

Greer, who was stolen from her simple life in Paris and her Dark Knight who has been cursed to live as a blood-sucking vampire, Theron set out to fight for not only their freedom but also those of the casket girls.

AD gives us her version of the Casket Girls from the 1700’s in this twisted dark tale. The beautifully weaved story line is well-developed, the world-building vividly rich, and the characters drew me into the dark side. This compelling story had me hooked from the first book but I think this one was better.

Fear, demon’s, curses, darkness, mystery, are just some of what you will find in this gripping tale that the most hardened paranormal reader will love.

I hope more is coming.

Truth or Kill (Twisted Legends Collection Book 1) by A.C. Kramer – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Truth or Kill (Twisted Legends Collection, #2)Truth or Kill by A.C. Kramer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truth or Kill is a dark romance about a girl named Sydney who finds herself, during spring break, at a retreat with one of her teammates. However, she is confused about why she was asked to come, they were not really friends and her teammate and the people she associates with are heirs to a tech company. She comes to find out that every heir or heiress to the company is here for a “team building” seminar. During the seminar they are introduced to a game called “Truth or Kill”. Sidney doesn’t understand why she needs to be a part of it, but it forced to play this game. During all of this she meets a manager of the resort, Kage. She sees him as similar to her, but senses he is different too. She finds a little bit of solace in him as the game is started and many of the participants’ truths are surfacing, which are not very becoming. Sydney finds herself in many unpredictable scenes with either Kage or the heirs/heiresses during the stay. She quickly starts to put the pieces together about what could possibly be going on and she comes to realize she has to play or she will not make it to the end. She is smart and witty and with the “help” of Kage finds a way to fight. Throughout the “game” she starts to have feelings for this dark and dangerous man, Kage. Will he keep her, help her, or possibly kill her? Will she save herself?
I really enjoyed this dark romance. I felt that as I read I was solving a puzzle, which is one of my favorite things to do. As for the characters, Sydney was amazing as a leading woman. She was vulnerable, but mostly brutally honest and strong minded. As someone who can get into the dark romances and bullying scenarios, I really loved Kage. I think what was refreshing about him is the honesty factor his character brought. He was brutal, dangerous, smart, cunning, but also never hid those things from Sydney. She knew what she was getting herself into, for the most part when it came to Kage, and still chose to trust him. I also love how you saw his development, he never became less dark, but he did allow some light in. There were some trigger warnings: knife play, choking, and guns.

Castor’s Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars Book 2) by Tai James – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Castor's Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars # 2)Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Castor’s Kiss is a sci-fi romance story. This story reminds me of a coupling between any science fiction story but adds in the ideas behind The Hunger Games. It starts by introducing you to Mia, who has been enslaved by Throl, a leader from a different planet. Mia is forced to fight for her life everyday in the arena, luckily she is one of the best known fighters. She has been fighting for some time – Throl had taken her from other captors that tortured her. She believes her crew have all been captured or perished and she is on her own to survive. However, an Atlantean man, Castor, has been sent to retrieve and return her to her people. What they didn’t expect was the soulmate bond that connected between them. This connection helps lead them to a possible future, but do each of them want that? They are two souls that haven’t really known love, would this connection be able to change that? Would this connection be the link to their survival off of Throl’s planet?
This is the first time I have read anything by this author. I enjoyed the book for the most part. I am not really a sci-fi loving reader, but the author kept things moving and interesting. I never felt there was a lull in the story, there was a lot of action, and the love story wasn’t bad either. I think what I loved most was Mia. She is a badass female who doesn’t show fear, but also has a vulnerable side too. She is smart, cunning, and powerful. She is also someone who goes with her instinct so even when she is scared or never loved before, she wasn’t always pushing feelings aside, she dealt with them. I think Castor played a complimentary love interest to Mia. Both were strong, cunning fighters that complimented each other’s style. This is technically not a standalone, but if you wanted to read it that way you could. Although I may not be big on sci-fi romance, I am interested in possibly reading the next book in the series.

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Saved by Love is one of the most emotional, touching, and beautiful books that I have read in years. It isn’t often that you find a romance about mental health that can touch your heart. This author has written a book that brings home the importance of choosing your mental health over other things that aren’t of importance. Only you can change your mindset. Choose you. Be you. These are a few of the themes of the book. Callie and Evan have both come from challenging backgrounds. They have been different but both have been challenging to mental health. Callie has handled hers differently as has Evan. The story deals with them finding them finding each other and learning that they are worthy of love. Callie goes for what she wants and Evan learns he is worthy. They learn so much on their journey to love. They are able to find their passion again. What makes your life sparkle? They teach their families and friends. They awaken new sparks sin each other. The characters of the story are magnificent. I fell in love with each and every one of them. They feel like they could have been family. The storyline was original. It felt like one that had never been done. So original and true to the heart. Tears were shed during the reading of this book: happy, sad and of joy. I felt the emotions the characters felt. My house is a mental health/autism house so we felt it, touched it and loved it. I only wish they allowed me to give more then 5 stars. This is phenomenal. I hope to read more from this author. I recommend you buy this one. You won’t be sorry.

Blood & Vengeance (The Casket Girls #2)Blood & Vengeance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I found this story to be very intense and dramatic. One of the Casket Girls, Desiree is now hunting the remaining vampires with Theron. She has brought herself through a rough life only to be kidnapped and brought to another life in New Orleans. Theron is doing his best to keep her safe while Greer is in the Underworld for her 3 months. My favorite part of the story is when Desiree laughs and tells Jaxon that Theron is the grumpy older brother when he asks if they have a relationship. That is the best way to describe them. During their hunt, the vampire that fed off Greer came and tried to kill her. Jaxon came to her rescue. Of course, he had a little favor to ask. This led to more of an adventure after they finished their vampire mission. This story has the best adventures. I found myself enjoying all the mystery, suspense, and having to see what happened next. Jaxon brought the next adventure. He and Desiree had some serious sparks at play. Of course, had to keep those under wrap so no one knew. The story is well-written. It even kept with Book 1 of the series. The plot was smooth with no chunkiness. Toss some romance into the story with a few witches and you have the best paranormal, romantic, suspense that I’ve read in a while. I can’t wait for book 3. I felt the sparks between Lucian and Fossette kick in also. Fantastic series. I would recommend to all my paranormal romance lovers and all my paranormal fans.

This book was a little close to home. A few years ago I would not have been able to read it because I was Ellawyn. I wasn’t able to pick up and move to a different state because of my children but I did finally get away. I also found my Beckett. He had the patience of a Saint and did everything in his power to make her feel safe, loved and important. Pops, Pops was the actual main character in this story. I’ll argue with anyone about this. This story has some twists and turns and was so good. It’s a story of finding yourself and proving that you are stronger than you think.

My school life was spent in a girls’ boarding-school specialising in classical ballet and on leaving I danced professionally, touring Europe, for 4 years. After that I ran my own ballet school in Athens, Greece and simultaneously volunteered as a veterinary nurse, as my love of animals is the driving force in my life. I returned to England with my horse and my cat, and now live on a smallholding in Shropshire with various farm animals and a constant stream of pets.

 I started writing while in Greece and completed a Creative Writing Course with the Writers’ Bureau. The same year, I won an annual competition in the Writing Magazine for an adult Fairy Story.

On my return to England, I wrote two children’s books, but my new life, caring for Highland Cattle, sheep, hens and pets, coupled with extensive global travel, meant that writing for publication took a back seat. I continued my love of writing with a daily journal and amusing travel blogs of each trip.

I am now writing full time and working on two series: TALLY AND THE ANGEL and THE AMBERWOOD HALL BALLET SCHOOL.

My first published novel, THE GRACEFUL GHOST, part of the Amberwood Hall Series, draws on my own experiences in ballet-boarding-school and my early teenage life and is a story that has lived with me for many years. It was shortlisted for the UK Selfies Award 2021.

It’s a highly exclusive experience guaranteed to redefine your future.

Assuming you survive.

Sydney

I thought it was a joke.

Some pompous high-society game meant to play with the children of the elite.

But then people started dying.

Including the one who invited me to attend.

Now I’m the one they all suspect.

Because I have blood on my hands.

Their blood.

Kage

The pretty little pawn isn’t supposed to be here.

She’s unique. Not one of them. A potential prize I may take for myself.

But only if she learns how to properly play this game.

The terms are simple: truth or kill?

Mmm, I hope she picks kill.

Because she’ll look stunning in red.

Welcome to the darkness, my little black rose.

Blood is your new currency.

And it’s time to pay the price.

Katrina

My best friend is my head. It keeps all my secrets.

Everything I’ve seen and heard in my loveless past makes sense now, and it’s led me to TJ. The faceless man I conjured in my mind. The missing puzzle piece.

I wasn’t prepared for sparks to fly, filling my life with endless love, comfort, and safety. TJ, Toby, and I are inseparable, like a genuine family. The old me is long gone. Or so I thought.

Right after I confess my love to TJ, I tumble into the black hole of hell. My perfect façade begins to crumble, and I can’t mask it anymore. Once TJ sees between the cracks, he’ll leave Toby and me, just like everyone else has. I’m a survivor, but losing him will destroy me.

TJ

When I love, I love big, and it’s my worst downfall.

After I burst through a stranger’s door, Katrina and her newborn son, Toby, are pushed into my world. My hopeful soul whispers to me that we’re meant to be together. Can I trust it, though?

On the best night of my life, the beautiful woman I gave my heart to isn’t the same one who’s kicking me out of her house right now.

My family says it’s just a phase, and I’m trying to be patient. But her unpredictable mixed signals weigh heavily on my chest. Will my heart be shattered into a million pieces again?

Katrina owns the key to my heart, and she’s the only one who can unlock it.

***This book was inspired by real-life events, but takes place in a fictional world. It features a lovable ex-NFL player turned chemistry teacher, and a single mom who’s never felt loved. It’s an intense single parent, emotionally explosive story, filled with swoony times and sweet baby moments. HEA guaranteed. Sensitive topics are addressed that may be triggering for some readers.

The Colors of Friendship (The Colors Trilogy Book 1) by K.R. Raye – Review by Angela Hayes

The Colors of Friendship (Colors Trilogy, #1)The Colors of Friendship by K.R. Raye
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

The Colors of Friendship is the first book in the Colors Trilogy by K.R. Raye. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Reye, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into this book. But, who could resist such a pretty cover, and the blurb did intrigue me- so I grabbed a copy and started to explore.
What I found was a NA contemporary story with themes of friendship, romance, suspense, college life, challenges, lessons, emotion, and abuse. Some themes could be considered triggers by some readers- so be warned (abuse/ domestic violence).
While the story is fairly interesting- I felt it was very slow to get going, and lagged and dragged a lot through the book. This made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story as I kept being ‘pulled out’ of the storyline. And because I wasn’t fully immersed in the story, I became easily distracted, which I think affected my ability to fully connect with the characters and invest in them and the outcome of their story.
I really did want to love this book so much more than I did, but I as this is the author’s debut novel (she has written 2 more since then) and the first book in a trilogy, I will wait to read the other two books to see if the issues I had here were just a one-off thing or not, and where the story goes from here.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, K.R. Raye!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really well written book! The story itself was not what I expected, and that wasn’t a bad thing! There was more excitement or drama than I anticipated there being and it added a wonderful touch to the story! Loved the main characters and really swooned over the ending! GREAT balance and intrigue! Cannot recommend enough!

Vive la Resistance (Donovan Trait Book 3) by Seelie Kay – Review by Michelle Austin

Vive la ResistanceVive la Resistance by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a thrilling 5 star read. I was pulled right in from the beginning. The author does a great job with her writing and feels like you are right there with the characters. We continue with Donovan and Shirley’s story. This time they have to protect their family at all costs from the coalition…will they succeed?

If you’re looking for a great paranormal suspense this is the series for you. We get more on the edge of your seat moments. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I look forward to reading more from this series and author.

Love is What You Bake of it (The Meraki Series Book 1) by Effie Kammenou – Review by Kayla Kearney

Love is What You Bake of it (The Meraki Series #1)Love is What You Bake of it by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a start to the series! When I came across the book initially, I was drawn to it for the name, which I found unique yet intriguing. The book was the exact same way in my eyes. The author did a great job at making relatable characters through Kally and Max, and the love story between the two of them is one of the cutest I’ve seen. I related to Kally a lot, also feeling that I was not worthy of love at some point in my life, but just like me, I love watching her discover that she is after meeting Max and then deciding if he was worth the trouble or not. Even though Max wasn’t the most unique character I’ve read in a romance novel, there were small things about him that I fell in love with, making it easy to understand the feelings that she has for him. I also love the small mystery twist to the novel, surrounding her family and specifically her grandfathers death, it definitely helped me in finishing the book quickly. I’m so glad I read the book, and am excited to read the next one in the series.

The Happily Ever After Bookstore by Bernadette Marie – Review by Anantha Rusum

The Happily Ever After BookstoreThe Happily Ever After Bookstore by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a story of three interwoven romances, all three leading to a book store. There is a sweet bookshop owned by a match maker Leona, who tries to bring couples together. Leona first brings two lovers together by deliberately making a Christmas eve package mix up. That entails in the pair spending the Christmas holiday together and finding love. The second time, she succeeds in rekindling the love in a divorced couple. In the journey, she finds love herself with a handyman who comes to repair her book shop. The book can easily pass off as a hallmark romance movie, and gives happy vibes. With clean romance and small town feel, it is a very pleasant read. I enjoyed the book.

Devil’s Breath by Lang Johnson – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Devil's BreathDevil’s Breath by Lang Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First off, I highly recommend you just jump right into this book. Do not ready any reviews….you don’t want anything given away. This book had me on the edge of my seat ’til the very end….I had no idea which way it would go.

I’m going to try to do this review justice without giving too much away. Sera is a great FMC. She works hard, knows what she wants, and is good at what she does. As a hired assassin, she usually has no problem with the follow-through…until him! Cassius is a wise and kind-hearted man. However, he feels something is amiss with his meeting of Sera…he just needs to figure out what it is. These two have amazing banter, some H-O-T scenes, and the gamut of emotions (lust, love, hate, betrayal….you get the picture). However, at the end of the day, Sera must decide if she will follow orders or her heart? And how will Cassius deal with the fact that someone close to him has betrayed him?

This book was one of the best books I have read this year! It is filled with the kind of back and forth that kept me turning the pages until the very end!! It has been a while since I have been so enthralled with a book that I did not notice the passage of time….I just sat and read from beginning to end!
