Sashimi (Evil Sushi Book 2) by C.A. King – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Sashimi (Evil Sushi #2)Sashimi by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the first book in the series, and this one certainly had the same effect and appeal on me as the first in the series did! This one I think I may have actually enjoyed it a bit more in truth! This one had just as convincing depth to the story, and a world that is in chaos, and not sure when the end is in sight!

The story continues from the cause and effect of the first one. The strong suspense, and thrill continues in this one as well. I was completely captivated even more with the events that were happening as well as the strong character development that greatly added nicely to the surrounding story. This story is very fast pace and certainly not dull in any form. I loved this series and this installment. I am curious where this could go next, this is a series, as well as book not to be passed up by any means!

I love this author for all the characters and worlds they create. This series quickly became a favorite of mine. And this book alone truly captivated me! Highly recommend tp read this series if you have not had the pleasure yet, and this author too! High recommendation from me as its a must read!

Mermaid and the Rainbow: Mermaid Science by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jamie Truex

the mermaid and the rainbowthe mermaid and the rainbow by Lois Wickstrom

I read this book to my 3 year old granddaughter who currently loves anything mermaids. She wasn’t old enough to understand the science they were doing, but she loved looking at the pictures and being read the story. I think it is a very good short kids story and I am interested in more to share with her. I did like that soon she will be able to try the experiments out herself.

This was a really cute book! This book is bright, colorful and engaging for children. It’s very adventurous and sweet. I enjoyed reading this one myself. I think my daughter will enjoy it when she gets older, but for right she seems a little too young to completely understand the story and the concept. I can’t wait to read this to her when she gets older!

Forbidden Love: Book 1 of the Forbidden Duet by KM Lowe – Review by Karyn Taylor

Forbidden Love - Book 1 of The Forbidden DuetForbidden Love – Book 1 of The Forbidden Duet by K.M. Lowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first instalment of a duet that I’m pretty sure I will read again if this first book is anything to go by. I had read one of this author’s books before and had really enjoyed it, so I has no issues reading more of this author’s work.
Can I say, I really loved this book. It had my emotions all over the place. My heart broke for Kally and Clark so many times. No one deserves the heartache that their families put the two of them through. I pray that they get their well deserves HEA.
This book will really tug on the heart strings. I don’t think I’ve hated anyone as much as I hated Clark’s brother Colton. That man is just pure evil.
The author does a brilliant job is grabbing you tightly at the beginning of the book and keeping a tight grasp right through and not letting you go. As the first part of a duet, there is more of this fascinating story still to come and I can’t wait to read it.

Finding Melodie and The Wedding Special Boxset by Laura Rossi – Review by Jamie Truex

Melodie Boxset (Melodie #1-2)Melodie Boxset by Laura Rossi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Absolutely recommend this book. It’s a cute little love story that I just couldn’t put down! Melodie is a street musician in London. Artistic, tattoos, piercings and pink hair! She’s secretly crushing on Office Guy, a “square” who spends every lunch break on a bench facing her and listening to her play. One day he talks to her and their lives will never be the same. Do opposites really attract?

Pixie and Office Guy have been together a year now and still going strong. He pops the question and she says yes of course! Then the doubts set in. Is she good enough to make him happy? Is she marriage material? Will his family approve? I really enjoyed the next chapter in the lives of Melodie and Issac. I read both books in less than 24 hours!

Cute book and story! The illustrations were great, the adventure was one I think a child would enjoy, and the celebration of one’s unbirthday would make any child giddy with excitement. This starts to give children examples of respect and trade all while still having a nice adventure. I think it would make a good addition to any young person’s library.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been a long time fan of this amazing author, but I have not yet had the chance to read this one. Needless to say I devoured it! It was so good from start to finish, I could not get enough. The world and the characters as well as what was going on, it was a bit crazy but awesome!

A find leads to a change. What would that change bring though? I was involved very much in this book as well with all the characters. This “find” leads to a lot of things, and things get a bit out of this world sort to say, I was on the edge of my seat wanting t o know what would end up happening next! I was hooked, and the story certainly never slowed down and highly kept my interest. I loved the ending how it was left open for part 2. So needless to say, i am looking forward to reading the next installment!

Amazing writing and book. It was different in many ways than I could have ever imagined! I was surely not disappointed! Highly recommend this book and this author! Prepare for sleepless nights!

Welcome to the Mafia Elite and the 5 families who run it. This is Book 5 and involves Luc Savino and Summer Johansson. After a one night stand, decided by both. This couple’s lives go down a different path. As Summer heads to work the next day to discover she has a new boss. The company she worked for as a sub, has been bought.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is cute. The artwork is well done and contributes to the story. I like that it is teaching children about how the world sometimes interconnects and sometimes by helping one person, you can help others. Caspian is given a present on his UnBirthday by his grandfather of a pad and a pencil that can write by itself, and seemingly predict the future. It first writes a single word, and once Caspian is able to obtain that one item, he tries again, and it gives him the name of a person he knows, so he finds this person and it turns out the item helps the person. I do feel like it was a bit short, but otherwise, I liked it.

S.B. Alexander is a new author but what a mind she has. She has a knack for making you feel like you have new friends and you want to be part of the group in the story. Layla is a vampire hunter and Sam is that sexy Navy seal except he is a vampire as well. What can go wrong with these two right? or what can go right? The passion, grit, and love of these two are put to the challenge in more than one way, but what happens when the only one that can help you is the one you are sworn to annihilate??

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5/5 Stars

Beelzebub: The Gift of Gluttony (A Sinful Seven Novel) by JC Brown & L. Lane

Beelzebub is the Demon of Gluttony. He gets in trouble by Michael when taking in hosts. He’s told not to do so again and then he sets his sights on Clara. A human and he’s not going to give her up. The quote I chose for Beelzebub is: “I can help you to be free. Free to be yourself, to do whatever you want, whenever you want to, free from feeling judged and trying to please others. By whispering words of encouragement and strength, I can help you find your heart’s desire. By working from within, I’ll provide guidance only you will hear.”

Clara is only human and is an empath. She feels everything others feel. She runs a bakery and when Beelzebub shows up she gets the shock of her life. Can she resist the Demon? The quote I chose for Clara is: “Money is nice. The bakery is doing so much better that I’ve had to hire several people to help me keep up. I guess I have you to thank for that. See, with all the extra money we’ve been making, I’ve been able to hire people to do all those things that I hate doing, like going shopping. I just place my order, and everything is done. And I found a couple of properties, in the middle of nowhere, that I’m considering buying. I might just buy both and use them as vacation places, I guess.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5/5 Stars

Claiming My Mate: A forbidden-lovers romance (Wolf Hollow Pack #1) by Nicole Howl

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to draw a reader’s attention and keep it. I really can’t wait for book two of the Wolf Hollow Pack series.

Lily is nothing, but a servant to the Royals. She’s beaten, raped, and tortured by one of the guards. She’s also bitten which causes her to turn. She also has to deal with the Prince who is claiming her as his mate. The quote I chose for Lily is: “I didn’t ask to be a she-wolf. I never wanted this! I didn’t ask to be a slave. I didn’t ask for Callum to rape me. I didn’t ask to be beaten and starved and thrown in the dungeons. I didn’t ask to be mated to the Prince of Wolf Hollow, soon to be the Alpha of ALL the f***ing wolves. I didn’t ask for the current Alpha to take an interest in me. I just wanted to be a normal f***ing girl! I just wanted a normal f***ing life! Is that too much to ask for? Is that too much to want? There has to be something that I did to deserve this. Did I do something in a past life? Why does Leto hate me so much? She’s supposed to be a f***ing Goddess, for crying out loud! What did I ever do to her?”

Jason is the Prince and future Alpha of the Hollow Wolf Pack. He finds his mate and then finds himself going against his father. He’s not one to give up easily and he will win the girl in the end, but it might cost him his life. The quote I chose for Jason is: “When I first realized he needed to go, I was too young. I wasn’t strong enough. Now? I’ve heard from the pack and those around us that they want the monarchy to change. They want a different system. If I were to challenge him, it would ruin their trust in me. They would rather me join their cause and change things slowly than challenging my father. This is their rodeo. I’m just a member.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Werewolf lovers.

Forbidden Love (The Forbidden Duet #1) by K.M. Lowe

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It won’t be my last as I really want to know what happens next. This left on kind of a cliffhanger and I can’t wait for book two. This is the first book in the Forbidden Duet Series.

Kally has been in love with her best friend, Clark, for years. She thinks that her eighteenth birthday will change everything for the best, but it doesn’t. After three years of being married she snapped. The quote I chose for Kally is: “I wish everyone would stop asking me that. I’m fine. I just needed some space. Those meetings are stifling. They’ve all been through worse than I have. I feel like a fraud being there.”

Clark has been in love with Kally since they were kids. He goes to her birthday party in hopes to get with her, but that doesn’t happen. He’s instead thrown for a loop. Now he’s got to bide his time before he can get the girl. The quote I chose for Clark is: “I will one day. I want her to experience life before she settles down. She deserves that much, Nancy.”

Highly recommended for Dark Romantic Suspense lovers.

Fast paced and filled with action. Then there is the chemistry which is OFF the CHARTS. Scenes between Sam and Layla so HOT! I loved all the anticipation between them!

This is filled with great characters! I enjoyed them all….even the bad ones. Everyone brought something to the table that is a little bit different. They impressed me and made me irritated… then I would roll my eyes at something silly. I really enjoyed them and can’t wait to find out more about them.

Sadly this does end on a cliffhanger…I am not a fan of them. I wish this could have ended differently and we could move to other characters in future books. In fact I would love a Tripp/Rianne or a white wolf story.

Overall this is an amazing story filled with characters I came to care about. I look forward to more in this series.

This is such a sweet romance with so many moments that made me laugh out loud. I really love that Melody isn’t the typical cookie cutter heroine. She’s unique, she speaks up for herself and doesn’t take crap and she’s so carefree. It’s so interesting to read her observations about the people that come to listen to her play and the way she immediately falls for Office Guy the second she lays eyes on him. He isn’t the type she typically goes for either which might be just what she needs to get it right this time. Sometimes you really do need someone that is the complete opposite of you to balance each other out. I was rooting for them from the very beginning. They face some obstacles along the way that really had me glued to the book wait to see what would happen next, but the ending is definitely swoon worthy. This is one adorable romcom that you won’t want to miss.

It seems like everyone is keeping something from her. This book took me on a wild ride from start to finish. I love that you are hit with twists and turns, and left mind blown by the end. It was impossible to put the book down until it was finished. A must read if you love psychological thrillers!
