The Clockwork WitchThe Clockwork Witch by Michelle D. Sonnier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

This is the second book in the series. I am not sure what genre this falls under, paranormal or fantasy or steampunk. But I have decided it fits best under Gaslamp Fantasy. It does ends rather suddenly with cliff-hangers. The concept is interesting with a lot of potential. There are witches and magic, mysteries and trials and tribulations, danger. It is fast paced with an intriguing plot.
Arabella is tasked by the witch’s council to investigate rumours of a famine in Ireland. Will she uncover the truth, or will she face roadblocks by those who hates witches?

Etched in this Moment (Etched, #1)Etched in this Moment by Calla Zae
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance story that has suspense added to it. This is a still a newer author for me which I enjoy her writing style as well as her attention to details that give her stories a realistic feel. This is a well written story that has twists and turns that had me turning pages fast. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the first word. The characters are not only connectable but they brought the story to life. The chemistry between them is great and keeps the story engaging. This is a fast paced story that was hard to put down and kept me wanting to know more with each page. This is a story that is full of action, danger and protecting what is yours. I enjoyed the growth of both the characters and the plot. Sofia and Theo are great strong characters that truly made the story for me. This is worth the pick up and I highly recommend it.

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, book 4) by Amy McKinley – Review by Candace Estes

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, #4)Savage Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is yet another great addition to this series. This book ratchets up the intensity and pressure on our core group of characters. The Italian Mafia bosses and their spouses bring Elena Caruso back into the fold after a four year absence, which was done to protect her from the Russian Mafia. Mafia boss Marco La Rosa has loved Elena for years, but always kept his distance due to an arranged marriage that is no longer in play. Elena is a cousin to Max and Tony Caruso, but was raised as Tony’s adopted sister until the summer she disappeared and was presumed to be dead. The surprise twists and turns in this book will keep you guessing (though, perhaps you’ll solve it early, but doubt yourself until the reveal like I did) until the end. The best rule of thumb in this series, and especially this book, is not everything is what it seems to be. This book can be read as a standalone, but is so much better as a part of the series it belongs in.

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, #4)Savage Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book follows Marco and Elena and is another Arranged Mafia Marriage romance. I blew through this book in one day! This book was packed with drama and excitement and the twist at the end OMG I was blown away. I did wish that there was more of a build-up and insight into the romance between Marco and Elena. You knew they were right for each other and had some history and angst but I wanted to fall in love with them and watch it unfold a little more but just like in the previous books from this series there was some good amount of spice and I truly love the world this author has created with these characters and I adore how they all intertwine in each book and I can keep watching new developments from previous book characters roll into this book along with the main characters of this. She does a really great job at incorporating old characters and continuing their story while also introducing a new story with Marco and Elena and I really love that. I look forward to reading book 5!

I am so glad that I stumbled upon this author a few months ago, I have LOVED the Mafia Elite series. This is Elena and Marco’s story. Elena has been running to stay alive, and she finally comes home, Marco is excited to know that she is alive and rushes to save her. The build up with the first three books left me waiting anxiously for this book. The wait was well worth it. Now to wait for book 5. I can’t get enough of these mafia families.

The Bear at Midnight (Orkneyinga Murders Book 4) by Lexie Conyngham – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

The Bear at Midnight (Orkneyinga Murders #4)The Bear at Midnight by Lexie Conyngham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Bear at Midnight is the fourth book in the Orkneyinga Murders series. Set in Viking Scotland, this mystery centres around the appointment of a new leader. With lots at stake, everyone is using their physical strength, political power, good looks or whatever they’ve got going for them to try and secure their preferred outcome.

This is a gripping story. I could barely put it down, and only got distracted finding out if I could learn tablet weaving (not having a hole punch handy prevented me going TOO far down that rabbit hole…). I love the level of historical detail – it really brought the story to life! I have friends and family who do nålbinding so it was great to see it getting a mention!

Sigrid and Ketil make a good team, able between them to talk to most people and find out their version of events. There’s a lot to unravel, with secrets and strong feelings being harboured by many. There are plenty of other great characters too, including a troublemaking pig!

I haven’t read the earlier books in the series, and found The Bear at Midnight easy enough to follow so I would say it could work as a standalone. I am now desperate to read the other books when I get a chance, though, so why not start with book one?

This book gets five stars from me! I would recommend it to fans of historical mysteries and any Viking enthusiasts.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Leon Stevens is a new author to me. His storytelling ability kept my interest throughout the whole story. It was full of details that painted a beautiful picture of what was going on in every direction I looked. The characters are what cemented my feet to the ground and kept me wanting more. Thomas started his day as a normal day for a hike. He was prepared for the normal hike he took, but what happens next is amazing. This adventurous hike had taken him where his feet had not taken him before. He was somewhere new with new characters that will begin to be friends and new adventures. You will have to read where his hike takes him and see if you enjoy his adventure as much as I have.

This is my first delve into the mafia romance genre. What was I waiting for? I’m so grateful that I chose this talented author to take me along for the ride. This book had me hooked from chapter one. I love that we get to grow up with these characters, even briefly. It gives the sense that you can understand how they are the way they are. Life can do that to you, especially living the life they have. This book was exciting, intriguing, sexy, and with a strong male AND female lead. I strongly suggest this book and series!

This is a sexy read and worth every page! Leslie is a firefighter woman who is being bullied by the men in the firehouse. Trevor is a football player who usually only focuses on his game, but it was fate. They met at a Bob Ross paint event, and the love fell in the air with happy trees. There is a lot of love, sex, drama, and so much more combined. I could not stop reading this, but once again, worth it! 🙂

This book was seriously so good and I could not put it down till I was done. Gina is a badass woman who has been through hell and back through childhood all the way to the military. She came out alive but with scars that made her self conscious about herself. Now living in the same town as most of her band of sisters, she meets a man name Bryce. Once he came in, he never wanted to leave. Their romance is so sweet, serious, and passionate. Definitely a book to leave a smile on your face.

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, #4)Savage Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Starting at the beginning, the love/hate relationship that Elena and Marco have is amazing!!!!! It is one that will make your blood boil for so many reason. One of those reasons is the steam between the two. It is so steamy I felt like I lost some weight reading this book by sweating it out. The tension that surrounds them in everything they do has them constantly feelings things they think they shouldn’t be. Can Elena survive the changes that have happened in The Family since she has been gone? Will the constant barbs taken at each other come to an end if they can just admit their feelings. These are the questions that I asked myself during this book. It was so well written and I am a sucker for character development during a book and this one did not let me down. This book has everything that I have come to love in this authors books. The steam, the action, the suspense, the steam, the love, the romance, the steam, and did I mention the steam. This books makes me wish I was in the mafia. The twists and turns this series has taken so far some are answered in this book and it will make you so happy to find things out. However, you will constantly be asking yourself if these characters did in fact do what you just read. It is just that good.

Fantastic world building…in space! Even though we dropped right into the action, I was able to understand all the factions, each with just enough description to let me know which side of the playing field they stood on.
Our main character is tough, she hangs on no matter what. If you like a heroine that fights for what’s right, knows her worth and gives her all, this story is for you. The author weaves the storylines together seamlessly, with enough background to provide motivation, loyalty, strengths and weaknesses.. all parts that make up a fabulous adventure!

Someone is killing the Adrjssian royal family one by one. When the queen is pushed to her death, suspicion lands on 17-year-old Adrijana Mironacht, a village girl new to court. Determined to clear her name, Adrijana enlists the aid of the compelling and enigmatic Dragan Vulpe, one of the royal Mesmers—magicians with the ability to read and manipulate the thoughts and emotions of those around them.
As the royal body count grows and the hostile Vruk army gathers at the border, ready to capitalize on Adrjssian instability, Adrijana homes in on the Vruk ambassadors as the most likely suspects. But when she uncovers evidence of Mesmer help, she begins to second-guess both her instincts and the loyalties of those around her. Tangled in a web of half-truths and pretty lies, it will take all of Adrijana’s cunning to unmask the true killer.

The author has hit it out of the park with this continued series. I can not get enough of this tight knit group of Italian mafia family friends. Elena has been in hiding for so long. At the end of the last book, her secret came out that she was still alive. The family went nuts. Now things have gotten too dangerous with the Russian mafia that she has to be found. Who will find her first? The Russians or the Italians? This book had so many shocks for Elena that your heart will be pulled in so many directions. If you have read the previous books, this is a must read for sure. The author brings these characters to life in each book, you feel like you would want to be friends and know them. Amazing writing.

This is my first reading adventure by this author. I read this book as a stand-alone, even though this is book 4 in the series. I was able to follow the story without having to have read the previous 3 books, but I did have a little trouble keeping up with who is in what “family”.
This was a good book, but not as Mafia-esc as I would have liked. Marco & Elena were a little too sweet for me. They had chemistry, but it felt like the story was rushed to get it there. Maybe I needed a slower burn, or a longer book for my taste. But either way I will be going back to read the other books in the series t0 see if it gets better for me.
