Romance under Aquarius: Stargazing Series #1 by Danielle Jacks is one of a kind. It is a fun twist on paranormal romance. What if mermaids were real? What about Atlantis? With multiple character views, every twist reveals something new. I was hooked from the first chapter. Maris, Kasper, Ryn and Pasha are all such relatable characters you almost forget this takes place in the middle of the ocean. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.!

Mastermind: A Brothers Best Friend Romance (WaterFyre Rising Book 1) is the first I have read from author Nadia Han. I have to say it’s not your typical brother’s best friend romance and I didn’t mind that one bit. It has so much angst, suspense, and mystery upon mystery. With her always keeping you guessing writing Nadia builds a world you actually feel like you are living in. I can’t get Remi and Audri off my mind! I will definitely be reading the second in this series!!

I went into this book blind a bit lost since I didn’t read the first 2 books. However even going in blind it was an amazing book. The author is new to me but everything that people have rented and raved about is right. Fantastic writing and unforgettable imagery. The characters were well developed, unique, and strong. Each with a personal journey that took them to where they needed to be and that tied the story together up to this successful end. I do not always love YA stories but this is one I could not put down and books 1 and 2 are going to be my next read

Distant Heart Sounds: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book 1, by Kate MacInnis, is the first book in the series that will keep you wondering what will happen next. A little bit of romance mixed with ghosts and a tad bit of mystery will keep the pages turning. I enjoyed guessing which paranormal element the main character, Morgan would experience first hand and what ghost she would meet next. This is the first time in a long time that genre fiction has been able to hold my attention past the first 5 chapters. I definitely recommend reading this book!

What a great way to start the series and debut for the artist, it was a great 5 star read. I was done before I knew it.
Remi, oh Remi where to start with this main. He is a hot alpha with a dangerous streak. Due to a bad experience early on in life, he has no desire to have a relationship with a woman. But when his bestfriends sister comes back into the picture will he be able to keep his walls up? Audris new boss is Remi, her brother’s best friend. The more time they spend together the hotter the sparks and chemistry get. Will they give into their desire?
Overall we get danger, mystery and so much more. There are several twists and turns. All of the characters added a great element to the story and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series to get to know the brothers better. I really loved both characters. I look forward to reading more from this series and author. 1-click and get started today.

This fifth installment to this series really blew me out of the water. Full of adventure, mystery, suspense and more, I just simply couldn’t put it down. Once again our main character has a mystery to solve, but can he solve it without putting anyone he loves at risk? Working on thefts from the royal household and an attempt on the king’s life will Hani be able to solve it all? You’ll have to read this fantastic fifth installment to find our for yourself.

This is book four in this series and having read the previous three I was anxiously awaiting this one to hit my kindle. Trust me I was not disappointed. While these can be read as stand alones, im not sure how any one could pick which one to read, since their all so great. Full of royal court politics, murder, and more i couldn’t put this one down. Once again Hani finds himself with a murderer to find, but can he find him before he gets away? You’ll have to read it for yourself to find out.

This is the third installment to the series, and trust me when I say that this one did not disappoint. Full of mystery, suspense, a tomb robbing and more this mystery will have you on the edge of your seat. While I have read the previous two, each one can be read as a standalone. However they are all so terrific that I personally recommend picking up the whole series. Hani and his supporting characters are perfect together and I can’t wait to see what they get into next.

This book was a great second installment to this series. Once again full of murder, mystery, suspense and more, this book really has it all. The main character is just as realistic, and well written as the first installment to this book. But personally between all the characters, and the immense amount of details I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next.

Devil’s Breath by Lang Johnson – Review by Jessica Stone
Devils breath is a book about Sera Dwari, brilliant chemist and assassin who has created a new drug called Devil’s Breath using her degree in chemistry. She’s cold and ruthless and will stop at nothing to make her criminal father proud and full-fill his wishes. That is until she meets her unknowing benefactor Cassius. Cassius Batista is a ruggedly Hansom billionaire from a small town in Wyoming, all he wants to do is live his life out in the world doing the things he enjoys, hiking, rock climbing, anything for some adrenaline. Unfortunately Sera has been hired by someone close to Cassius to kill him but as time goes on and she gets to know her next mark more and more, she’s starting to doubt she can kill him, or stop herself from falling in love with him…
Absolutely Terrific book! Brilliant writing! Positively in love with the character building from this author. The cold collected facade presented by Sera to everyone that covers up the sad girl underneath, who just wants to make her father proud and pay him back for the life he gave up for her.
On the flip side there’s Cassius who’s all out there from the get go, a honest up front guy with A plus qualities. But Cassius is not just some pretty, rich man, he’s smart and cautious, and that caution is telling him that there’s more going on then what Sera showing him and everyone else.
Lies, deception, love, family, betrayal, this book has it all to suck you in and keep you waiting and wondering what’s going to happen on the next page. A slow burn that builds up to a crescendo, shattering hearts and family’s.

This was a very interesting start to a new series. The main character was very well written, very realistic, and very likable. This book was full of twists, politics, family and more. When I first read the synopsis of this book I knew right away that I wanted to read it. I love Egypt and this book really gave me a great insight to that culture. So if you love ancient Egypt and your looking for a good mystery then make sure to pick this one up today.

Holmes – Review by stephanie nicole
I love suspenseful, twisted, mysterious stories. I actually loved this one even more because of the Christian aspect. Some mystery novelists tend to add spicy scenes to their book that in my humble opinion detract from the story. I have not read book one but intend to go back and read them in order. This book has everything you want in a mystery novel including an ending that will shock your socks off!!

The moment I started the book, it was like I was reading a book by Nicholas Sparks taking place in Stars Hollow, the town in Gilmore Girls for those not aware. It did not take long for me to fall in love with the main characters, similar to many characters I’ve read about in other books but with the authors own original twist on things.
As with most romantic suspense novels, it did not take me long at all to finish this book. The author did an amazing job at painting the chemistry between Ellawyn and Beckett, and it didn’t take me long to begin rooting for more to happen between them. That and the additional suspense of Ellawyn’s past life catching up with her made my heart race through the entire book, and the ending certainly didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

Nadia did an awesome job for her debut book. Remington Starke, aka Remi is a successful business man, typical alpha male. Audri Wu is his best friends sister. She is a successful woman herself. Both Remi and Audri house their own demons and secrets. They have known each other since they were children because Remi and her brother have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Remi ends up being Audri’s boss, forcing them to come face to face again. Remi has always has feeling for Audri but she is off limits, best friends sister and all. The more time they end up spending together they just cant stay away from each other. The plot to the story was fantastic and I cant wait to see what this author does next!

A great wholesome book with a great twist. The start of the book had me slightly confused where each group of characters were connected but it all made sense. This was a wonderful mix of heartfelt romance, suspense, and excitement. This was a fun quick read that you will have trouble putting down.

The Draco Sang are mostly animals, but humans are their slaves and will stop at nothing to snuff out the normal humans or those who are traitors. This book is portrayed through different views from the characters. We start with Nogard who is a dragon that just wants to sleep. Then there is Jade, she has so many feelings about the battle that she must be a part of. She is part of the Draco Sang but has secrets that she must hide. Suza is fights for the humans. All she wants is for them to have their freedom. Ferth, a Draco Sang who now fights for the humans as well. He is the son of war chief and is now considered a traitor. He has many people that he intends to save. Will he be able to save them all? This book was good. The way the story is told through each chapter being a different characters point of view is a great way to see what is going on during both sides of the battle. Be sure to read the first two books of this series!

I love reading books about books and bookstores! The bookstore sounds so cute and Leona is a fun character who always knows the exact book for each patron. She even wraps the books like a present because if you are buying it for yourself it is still a gift! Leona mixes up the books for Charlie and Sadie when they are checking out at the same time. Charlie was buying a book for his grandmother about an old movie star and Sadie was looking for a holiday romance. They end up finding each other the next day and go visit grandma who has dementia. She ends up loving the holiday romance and even remembers Charlie and uses his name when he comes the next day to exchange the books. Sadie and Charlie spend the day together and are instantly connected. Fiona is an author who is still trying to get over her divorce and moves into town. Her ex, a musician, is also there by coincidence and the bookstore brings them together to talk for the first time in many years. There are so many fun stories in this book, I enjoyed it a lot!

From the very beginning, you know that this book is going to get down into the nitty gritty of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In today’s society, most people know what PTSD is, but very few understand or can comprehend it. We know the definition, the diagnosis, and some of the symptoms that come with PTSD. However, not everyone experiences it and those that do never respond or experience it in the same way as another. I think this novel does a great job of telling a detailed story about how PTSD can play a role in someone’s every day life.
This book takes on a slow pace but does not fail to keep your attention. The way author tells the story of JP and his family is undeniably fascinating and heartwarming. This family is what America would consider the average home. Being able to see behind closed doors, specifically into JP’s mind, is enthralling.
I could talk all day about this book. If you are a psychology lover such as myself, you will want to devour every page of this novel. If you enjoy war fiction, pick it up. If you want a fast paced book, you might want to save this one for a rainy day.

I absolutely love books that involve bookstores and this is one of the best that I have read. Although the book contains three separate stories; they are all connected. I loved the themes of friendship and thriving in spite of setbacks. The stories are well-written and entertaining. The book is heart-warming and fun. The Happily Ever After Bookstore was truly a delight to read.

This is a lovely romance story. Ellawyn is a woman running from her former life with her abusive ex-boyfriend. She starts a new life in Quimby Grove and spends her days in a quaint bookstore cafe. She forms a beautiful friendship with the owner and develops a relationship with his grandson Beckett. This book was beautifully written and very sweet. I really enjoyed the progression of the relationship between Ellie and Beckett. I also adored the friendship between her and Benji. This book has enough drama to keep you interested but there is still a lot of romance. Romance in a small town is where it’s at. A wonderful read!

One of my favorite villainesses, I’ve always found the idea of the Queen of Hearts interesting, but I loved seeing the author transform the character in this way! A woman who’s familiar with the deceit of men, Mimi has risen above and beyond the usual call of revenge. Wonderfully dark and well-written, the plot thickens with this delightfully twisted tale of the Queen of Hearts. Even though the story was short and fast-paced, I feel like it was full of life and had plenty of mystery and intrigue. I’ve never read any of the other books from this series, but I’ll definitely be looking into them after reading this one, as well as more books from the author!
Oliver, A Story about Adoption by Lois Wickstrom 4 Stars
I think this is a great book to teach children how to deal with their feelings. It is hard for children to express how they feel maybe even harder for children who are adopted. It is normal fir them to imagine how their life may have been with their birth parents. The language is simple enough for young children to understand. The book normalizes the feelings that children who are adopted struggle with. I think this is a great read for children who are in this situation.

I started reading this book with high expectations since I absolutely loved the first one of the series. Let me just say that the author did not disappoint!
You once again follow Julia except this time it is 70 years later than in the first book. The Ka-tet is as strong as it should be with their powers ever growing when Valentino decides to show up and take them all down. Samuel and Julia fear they have not had enough time to get strong enough to defeat Valentino so they decide to flee. That did not work so now the Ka-tet has to fight a very strong Valentino with little faith.
I honestly love this author’s writing. It is so dark and unpredictable. The book has a lot of action as well as twists and turns to keep you intrigued from start to finish. There is some romance and some heartbreak. What’s not to love? I highly recommend this series. Do read the first one before attempting this one though as it will be hard to follow without knowing the backstory.

I can’t believe this is a debut book for this author!! The characters, the writing, and the details had me hooked from page one. I want to go find my own Quimby Grove, Starlight, and even Beckett. The small-town charm of Quimby Grove made me feel like I was in the middle of a Hallmark movie with a twist of mystery. This book was amazing!! Ellawyn is running away from her former life in Maine, everything she grew up with. But she must do this to protect herself. Settling in the small town of Quimby Grove, Ellawyn finds herself drawn to Starlight bookstore and even the owner Benji. Keeping to herself, Ellawyn spends all day at the bookstore just trying to keep herself safe. Benji calls upon his grandson for help when things take a turn for the worse. Benji is the only family Beckett has so when Benji needed him it was a no-brainer to head back to Quimby to help take care of him and the bookstore. What Beckett never had in mind was meeting Ellawyn. It was hard at first since she was not quick to open up but Beckett was there for the long haul to take care of Benji so he was patient. This book definitely has a dark turn of events but it will have you on the edge of your seat, laughing, biting your nails in suspense, and even crying!! Can’t wait to see what came next for this talented author.

This is a brilliant conclusion to this series and easily my favourite book of them all. And while I didn’t want to see the series end this was definitely the perfect way to do so. I was pulled straight back into the story right from Page 1. The story is so well written and ready to imagine that could it really does feel like you are there. I would highly recommend this entire series to anyone and I am already looking forward to reading it again.

I was a little unsure what to expect going in to this book – the description didn’t particularly grab me but the reviews were all good. I am so glad I gave it a go. This was a refreshingly unique read. It isn’t often you get a female lead as strong and fiesty as Sera. It was so easy get pulled in by her. It felt like the whole story centred around her. The story was well written. It was exciting and engaging. I found myself swept up by what was happening and the chemistry between the characters. This is a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed.

This is another cute kid’s book. The science featured in this book includes the forms of matter. As a teacher, I love books like these for my students. These are great for teaching younger kids science in a new way. This is not the first Science Mermaid book I have read, and I have loved each and every one of them so far!
Just because you make it home from the battlefield does not mean the war is over. While this particular solider may be fiction his story is just one example of the horrors and struggles one with PTSD may face. Patchen brings this story to life in a way that makes your heart strings pull, your eyes water, and has your mind struggling to process. In the story, Sgt. JP Grimm has physically returned from war, but in many ways he is still in that desert. Grimm struggles to mentally. He plays what if, if I had done this differently, self loathes, struggles with survivors guilt as well as adapting back to home life. One moment he is home then with one sound, shadow, movement, he is right back in the war. The struggles faced as a result of his PTSD affect more than himself. It influences relationships with family, friends and himself. Self medicating is just one of the ways Grimm attempts to cope. Will he get the help and support he needs? Or just me another example of the glaring lack of support faced?
Hands down this story is worth reading. It is a well thought out, realistic glimpse into just one of the many common contributors to PTSD. The thought provoking story line that puts you through the ringer. Patchen did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. While it did take me a moment to get into the story once I was in, I was in. This book brings more light to the issues many people still face today.
