Firstly I love the cover in this book the colour and visual are very appealing. The royals are Adrjssian royal and are been killed off but who is doing the killing and why. There are a lot of twist and unexpected turns in this book many which has me on the Edge of my seat. Thus is a well written fantasy book. The ending I didn’t see coming

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a great read for me no words can define otherwise. I fell in love with the first few pages, and I could not get enough. I loved the characters and how things played out. I was left by the end wanting more. The writing was perfect, and held my interest all the way to the very last page and word.

This one was impossible not to love. Sophia and Theo were two characters that had pasts, but still knew deep down they were missing something. Their chemistry was undeniable. I related to Sophia a lot cause of her past, as I have been in a similar situation. Theo was a good guy from the start, he wanted to only protect her, but I got the impressing from their time together, Sophia really rescued him.

There was a lot of build up. You got so much at a time, and you were able to take it all on. I was under this book’s spell from the start. I fell in love with this book so much. I wish it could have lasted longer. I was not ready to let Sophia and Theo go. Amazing character developments between the two of them!

Loved this book truly. I will be looking forward to reading more by this gifted author. I rally loved the book, you get hooked right from the start. You then go down the tunnel and don’t want to look back or stop till you finish. it holds you and doesn’t let go. Amazing read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A heartfelt and steamy coming together between a fire investigator and an injured soldier. With many obstacles to overcome, Gina and Bryce, tackle them together with more time spent in lust than in conversation. Everyone seems to work as hard as they play, and the group of friends coming together would be a fun group to spend time with anywhere. This book is so touching because we know that Gina is not alone, and terrible things happen. She has a great group of friends to help her through her trials and Bryce is worth helping him figure out his stuff as well.

When the king is attacked in his bedchamber and later dies, who can Adrijana confide in about all the mysterious things going on that only a mesmerist can see..

We start out with our main leading lady and her father heading to the city. They are the only farmers of verbania that the queen trusts. However, her father is very eager to get in and get out of the kingdom.

This story follows Adrijana as she starts a new life path that she wasn’t even aware was something she was capable of. She is paired with the other mesmerists of the kingdom.

It was a nonstop journey and adventure of magic and trust. I finished this in one day. I look forward to anything else from this author!!

I enjoyed this suspenseful young adult story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. I have enjoyed this author from the first book that I picked up from her. This is a new book for this author which was hard to put down. This is a fast paced story that pulled me in from the beginning. The characters are not only connectable but I enjoyed their growth throughout. They kept the story engaging and had me wanting to know more. This is a story about a Royal family that is being picked off one by one. Now, with a mixture of lies, secrets and has Adrijana second guessing her instincts. I enjoyed her character and what she brought to the story. For me, she made the story entertaining to read. I also enjoyed the growth of the plot that kept me guessing. A great story that I highly recommend.

Excuse me while I scope out all her other literary works. I don’t even know where to start, to be honest. The world building gave me blinders to the real world, and I felt like I was pulled right in beside Adrijana, or Jana as she is called by her nearest and dearest. It seems like a cute little trip to the big city for her and her dad, until things quickly start falling apart, and she’s swept into a whirlwind of activity, accusations, and responsibilities that would overwhelm any 17-year-old, to be honest. The magic, and abilities of the Royal Mesmers are well thought out, crafted, and has you wanting to wish upon a star to gain some of those abilities.

The reader is lead on this adventure, second guessing everything, and personally, I had wound this great ending in my head about this novel, and this author added so many phenomenal twists and turns that I really couldn’t remember what to believe for more than a few pages. I found it very easy to connect to each of the characters that we follow, the character building well woven, and thoroughly enjoyed that there is more than one strong female character to lean on throughout this tale. I fell head over heels for a couple of the men, second guessed, and fell all over again. Trust me, you won’t want to pass up the opportunity to escape into Adrjssian. Highly recommend!

This was a first time author read for me, but certainly will say it will not be my last. I loved how this book was written and put together. It kept things going, and was unlike most I had read. It was something that brought on a lot of questions in my mind, and truly had me intrigued all the way through!

I loved the murders and the mystery take on this book. Especially with the murders being of the royal court, this made the book much more interesting than other murder filled books i have read. There was a lot of twists and turns and I was guessing myself a lot as I had read through, I was kept in suspense, and trying to figure out who is in danger next. Lots of intrigue came with each passing sentence!

Personally, I loved Adrijana. She brought such a strength, that she was remarkable in so many ways. For everything she is being told fault for, it did not push her down, she got up and kept working to clear her name as well as what is going on in the court. I admired her for many reasons and I found she was a character that really made the story. Loved the person she was, and whom she became by the end.

Amazing and fun read. The suspense was real too. I loved the craftmanship of this book and the characters that surrounded it. Truly highly recommend this author, not one to passed up to say he least. Ans seriously, read this book, super high recommendation from me. It truly is a “royal” treat.

This book was a good read, and a fun one in fact I would like to say. The book gave us engaging characters. And the author knew how to keep us as the reader interested, and our toes in fact. I loved how each event led to something new, and questions of trusting your own constantly arose. Fantastic read!

I loved how the book is about a military, which was different from past books I have read that have been more less in the sci-fi genre. I found that alone gave the plot and atmosphere a different take rather than I would expect the story to be. The group we got to read about, I would say there were so realistic to me, they defended what they had to, no matter what. They were courageous and stood for something.

Something that I also really enjoyed was the constant questioning as I briefly touched on. I found that within this group there reasons for trust issues. And made myself wonder who could be a snake and who is actually true to their word? The story kept flowing really well and I could not put it down!

Wonderful and action packed read! I loved this book and this amazing author and I do highly recommend you read this book, as well as look into works by this author. They crafted this book so perfectly as well, it was one I really had a good time reading, and I will be looking forward to read more of their work!

This has to have been one of the most fascinating YA books I’ve read so far this year. The characters were intriguing. Adrijana was a very strong personality to hunt down the queen’s killer. The plot flowed like a smooth river with some nice rocky twists just to keep you off balance. I find that makes for an excellent story. This was a book that pulled you in from the start and just dared you to leave. I can’t tell you much more. You have to experience it for yourself. You know you want to know.

I hadn’t read the previous books in the series but I sometimes enjoy historical mysteries so I picked this up. This book leaned more on the side of mystery and cosy mystery at that, but I also liked the setting in Scotland during the Viking era and there were lots of detailed descriptions. This is definitely a book that had me turning the pages as quickly as possible.

Kat is a badass when she finds they have been infiltrated by a force that has taken over top ranks to get to their secrets. The challenge is what happens when they are the face of the ones you know? Having been booted from her ship and running flight control, she doesn’t let anything hold her back. Written with power to grab you right from the start, you are sucked right into the story and don’t want to miss anything. Kat is such a strong character that she is very relatable. The other characters are well-written to be support players. A few glitches in plot help to give it just the right thrill, such as Commander Glei not showing up in the reflection and his fingers always plucking at something. I loved this book. Though not my usual genre, this author has gained a fan. Get out and read this one. Click that button. You’ll find it’s worth it.

This book tugs at all the heartstrings. This book is impossible to put down once you open it up. Poor Gina has been through so much trauma and she deserves some happiness but she’s so terrified to take a risk. Bruce has never been one for commitment and he gets bored easily but there’s something about Gina that he just can’t resist. I really enjoyed watching the sparks fly between them as they grow closer and she begins to let him in and he does the same. There are some parts that definitely made me tear up but the ending was beyond perfect! Her sisters are great they’re so supportive and funny and now I need to go and read the other books in this story. This is definitely a romance not to be missed.

The Clockwork Solution is the second instalment in The Clockwork Chronicles series by Michelle D. Sonnier. After reading the first instalment in this fun series, I was intrigued by what this story would hold.
It is another young adult story- a sci-fi/steampunk/gaslight fantasy with magic, witches, danger, technomancy, drama, and more.
We re-join Arabella in this story as she sets off on her first assignment- to uncover what’s causing the famine in Ireland. There is a lot riding on the outcome of her investigation, and Arabella feels the weight of responsibility on her shoulders. Two witches have already lost their lives in this quest- so now Arabella’s life is also on the line. What happens makes for a fun read.
This ends with a cliffhanger, eeep- so will have to wait for the next book to see what happens next.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Michelle D. Sonnier!

It turned out to be a fun read- a young adult story with sci-fi elements, all wrapped up in steampunk/gaslight fantasy. This was such an original and creative story with magic, witches, wonderful world building, prophecy, threats, danger, and some illustrations sprinkled through to highlight the story.
Arabella is a great character, a witch with technomancy magic- which makes her a bit of an outcast in the witching world. But with her ability to manipulate all things mechanical, a prophecy, and a little danger, things are about to get interesting.
A great start to this imaginative series… looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Daire’s Devils by Danielle Ackley-McPhail is an epic military sci-fi story full of action and adventure. I know from reading this story, and the intro that came at the beginning, that Daire’s Devils is set in, and based on a RPG game and it’s ‘world’- and I definitely think this would make a great game, or even a movie/series.
The author’s detailed descriptions brought this futuristic space adventure to life, and I loved all the action and adventure. The characters were really great, and it was easy to get absorbed by the story, although there were parts where the story felt rushed, or skimmed over- but overall, it was an enjoyable read.
So, if you love sci-fi military adventures that take you to the farthest reaches of the galaxy to join a crack squad who are tasked with defending a colony who is under threat of invasion, then this is definitely the story for you. Add in some hidden agendas, politics, espionage, and treachery…. and things get interesting.
Happy Reading!

I loved this book! This was a really good read! I give it 4.5 stars though for a few reasons. While the story was incredible and the female MC was a complete baddie, and this book was so positive and steamy and everything you could want, there were a few scenes I just didn’t understand. The end didn’t make a lot of sense to me, but the author ended it well for the next book. And since it is a sports and football related book, there was sport talk and I’m not the biggest person at understanding it, especially since I was barely alive when these major sports events took place. But overall this Adult sports romance was incredible. It was funny, it was sweet, it was steamy and very quick. I can’t wait to read the next installment to this series!

I really enjoyed this steamy sports romance that gets you hooked from the first page. This is a new author to me and I will definitely be reading more of this series for sure!

When you meet Leslie, she is all about being a firefighter and lots of sass. She meets Trevor and everything changes. At first just one night leads to Trevor wanting more and I loved that Trevor was also very devoted and focused on being great in the NFL. At first, I was not sure about Leslie, because of how she came across to the point of being downright rude, but the more I read this book, I saw why she came across stubborn, rude but also passionate about being a firefighter. I loved Trevor’s character and just his love for Leslie and his love for his football team as well with his drive and focus on winning.

This is a fantastic read and I highly recommend this book!

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The author definitely has a way with words. I was hooked from the beginning and had a hard time putting it down. I do hope to see more of Thomas and April in the future.

Thomas goes on a hike on a trail he’s been on several occasions. He finds that there’s a ledge down there and makes his way down. When he gets there he isn’t alone. The quote I chose for Thomas is: “Come. There’s your ledge. Hand me your hiking pole. Solid. That’s wide enough. Grab some rope.”

April has found a cave and isn’t sure where it leads. When Thomas shows up they make a plan to go on an adventure. Little did they know that something was living there. The quote I chose for April is: “Let go of the rope! Let go of the rope! Let go and untie yourself now! Quick! You don’t have time!”

Highly recommended for Sci-fi Adventure lovers.

This book is a die-hard military sci-fi and is the first book in the series. The author’s words and story building made it easy to imagine what was going on. The characters are hard not to like and they find themselves in plenty of action as they face an unexpected menace. Defending the colony planet in a plot that has some interesting concepts. The stakes are high but not all the threads are woven to finality leaving the door open for the other books in the series. This story is fast paced full of action. At times it felt a little rushed, so I had to reread some things as there was a lot of information to absorb.
