This is the second book in the series. These can be read on their own however I think if I had read the first one it would have made the character and their back story easier to understand. This didn’t take anything away from the book and I still really enjoyed it. Our heroine Emma is now 18 years old and has grown into a strong independent woman. She is very determined and will stop at nothing to solve her case. Even when her safety is in danger Emma still pushes on until her case is closed.
Now Emma is older she also has to deal with matters of the heart and romance which all adds up to make the story interesting and makes the read wanting to read more. I am looking forward to reading more about Emma and her family and friends and also the next adventure and Mysteries she will solve.
“Written in the Stars” is the second book in Angela Christina Archer’s Mothers and Daughters Collection. In this book we follow, Betty, an unwed and pregnant teenage girl in the 1950s. At that time teen unwed moms were sent to homes for wayward girls to finish out their pregnancies and put their babies up for adoption – whether they wanted to or not. Then they could return home to their families and life could go on as normal. Or at least that’s the idea. We follow Betty’s story as well as that of a grown-up Marlena, her daughter, through the journey of discovering she is adopted and all the emotional entanglement that brings. The story is written in flashback sequences and from the viewpoint of both Betty and Marlena. Both characters are well developed, though in a lot of instances I feel like Betty has more depth to her story than Marlena. It was interesting to be able to see the situation from two viewpoints, but I honestly would have liked to have seen Charlie’s viewpoint written in as well. I think it would be interesting to hear the viewpoint of an unwed teenage father and what goes on in their minds in a situation like this. We do find out some of Charlie’s viewpoint toward the end of the book, but it is a very small excerpt. I think the beginning of Marlena’s story could have been positioned a little differently because I felt like that first transition between viewpoints was a bit clunky. Overall, the storyline held my attention enough for me to keep picking it back up every time I had an opportunity. I am not generally a huge fan of books with a lot of flashback but this was written well enough that it didn’t get confusing. If you are looking for a sweet love story based on the enduring power of love, this would be a great one to pick up!

Notebook Mysteries- Decisions and Possibilities brings us the Vibrant Emma. She is just 18 years old but in my opinion a young lady so far ahead of her time. Her passion for seeing women succeed becomes obvious very early in the book and one of the first characteristics that helped to draw me in to the story and the life of Emma.
She truly is an amazing young woman solving crimes, developing a business (I loved her determination to attend business school at a time when they were only for men) , helping protect abused women and helping them start over all while maintaining her family connections.
I’ve started this series second book in which is something I will have to fix as soon as I can. It is a wonderfully written, engaging YA series not to be missed.

Time-travel, celestial beings, special people. This is a fascinating book. The POV keeps you riveted as there is a war on to save the world. The characters are well-written. Team Light, as I call them, are my favorite as some of them “special.” Locations were fun to read about as many were written about in my home state and local area. Team Dark is flat out creepy. Lizard alien Masters and Ultimate Supreme, creepy Sebastian, and Halloways. These people are just awful and need to be stopped. It’s a book worth taking the time to read. It’s book 2 of a series. Definitely recommend.

Another outstanding book in this series! The story just flows along so seamlessly that it took me no time at all to finish this. This is written with feeling and it comes across to me in each character and with every page I turned. Each emotion is felt so vividly from hopelessness all the way back to hope. Tears yes I had a few of those too.
The characters are so beautifully built that it is hard to pick a favorite. On that note there are a few in here I don’t care for but I enjoyed each one for their purpose to the story. Betty had it tough and Marlena had a shock. I am usually not a fan of stories roaming back and forth through time. This one is done seamlessly making it so I loved their story and was extremely pleased from the first page to the last.
This is the second book by this author for me. She really has the magic touch with these books. She taps right into my heart. Thank you for taking me on this journey.

Read this one on a weekend and it was definitely the quick read that I was looking for! I loved the instant attraction they had and the loyalty that the main characters showed each other from the start. It had its witty moments as well as a few serious ones but all in all it was a very sweet story!

“All these rough patches you’re going through right now are all the years you’re going to learn the most about yourself. During the happy times, you don’t learn anything.” For anybody who has read this book, they know just how much this one quote from the daughter of Tara, the mother of the main character of the book, sums it up. At the point in this novel in which this line is said, Tara has reached her wits end, no longer certain on how to help her son Branson, who has been struggling with visual and auditory hallucinations.
In M. Billiter’s A Divided Mind, the reader experiences first hand what it is like to no longer be certain of what is and isn’t reality, helping them experience schizophrenia on a first-hand basis. This is one of the best novels with a focus on mental illness that I have ever read, right up there with J.D. Spero’s Boy on Hold and Boy Released that I read earlier this month. I knew from the moment that I read the description of the novel that I would enjoy this book, and boy was I right! I’m excited to read more from this author, and hope that I find myself reading more books like this by them in the future.

No Way Out: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 1) by Amy McKinley is a great start to this series. I enjoy Amy’s writing it is captivating, engrossing, and intriguing. This new gripping instalment starts with the action, suspense and thrills right from the start and continues throughout. This romantic suspense story is full of drama and violence, mystery and intrigue, danger, and twists and plenty of palpable moments. I have said it before, but I will say it again that when I read one of Amy’s stories, I am on the edge of my seat the whole time whilst devouring page after page just to know what was happening. You can never go wrong when getting a book written by Amy, so get started today.

The title of the book gives you exactly what you would expect, a steamy slow burn romance. The depth of emotion in the story had me utterly captured, giving me a perfect mixture of angst, humour and that gratifying heart-warming feeling you crave in a good romance novel. The lead up and sizzling chemistry between Adam and Maddie was so palpable I couldn’t put the book down. There were moments that had me laughing, which I found such a lovely balance to have in quite an emotional book. Very well written, I would highly recommend.

Caught by Him is a very cute, sweet, opposites attract romance. Being a short light hearted read, this book gave me that chick-flick feeling and was easy to get yourself immersed in. Brodie and Willa are extremely likable characters, well written and easy to connect with. There was quite a nice pace to this book, with some Jealousy and Ex Drama thrown in. Overall, I enjoyed this book and will definitely read more from Tammy Mannersly.

This is the second book in the Boy Series and is set ten years after the first one ends. Tyler is out of the psychiatric rehab, Marcella bought a hotel, and Hen is 17 now and looking at his future. Sounds like things are looking up. Then Marcella is attacked, and Tyler is arrested for the crime. How much can this poor family go through? My heart ached for Marcella who just wanted the best for her boys. I cried for Hen who was thrown into memories of the past watching his brother get arrested again. I could never imagine having a brain like Tyler’s due to his schizophrenia that takes in things differently than we think is “normal”. Can this family survive another disaster? Or does this once again remind them how much they love each other? JD Spero did it again, a heart wrenching story that made me feel every emotion to the core.

What an incredible emotional story! Hen is a 7-year-old boy, who wants nothing more than to catch a hedgehog as a pet in his back yard. He falls asleep in his play tent to wake up to yelling at Miss Sally’s, the neighbor’s house. Miss Sally is like a second mom to him, she babysits him after school. Hen struggles with what he sees that night, did he see it correctly? When his 17-year-old brother, Tyler, is arrested for the crime, his life is torn apart. Marcella, their single mom is distraught, how to save her son. Drugs, murder, and a psychiatric condition make for the beginning of a horror story. This was a story filled with love, concern, and family first. I cried for Hen, I cried for Tyler, and as a single mom, I cried for Marcella. JD Spero ripped my heart out, stomped on it, then put it back together. Families are never perfect, but when love is the foundation, they can survive anything.

BOY RELEASED (BOY SERIES BOOK 2) by JD Spero – Review by Samantha Bassett
This is the second book in the series and JD Spero takes us 10 years after the first book. Tyler is released from the psychiatric facility and going to be living with his mom Marcella. This is a new neighborhood in a motel in a resort community. The past is coming back when everyone is trying to adapt to their new lives. Add to that Hen is trying to figure things out with his impending inheritance and the burden it carries. An attack on Marcella leaves everyone believing the worst about Tyler. Could it really be him? Another good book that kept me reading all the way through.

If you like action-packed, romance, and suspense all tied into one then boy oh boy is Tainted for you. Ms. West quickly grabs her readers in the beginning with a fascinating plot line and fabulous characters. With so many twists and turns in the story you find yourself really diving in, and not being able to wait to see what happens. Ms. West vividly describes her scenes and characters so beautifully that you can’t help but get sucked in, and the heart-warming family touch really helped as well. Over all I rated this book 5 out of 5, and will definitely be looking for more books by Ms. West.

Caught by him is the first book that I have read by Ms. Mannersly and it won’t be the last. This was a short romance story with great characters that are well written with a great plot.
When they say opposites attract you could see this when you meet Brody Nash and Willabelle Stone. Willabelle is only helping her grandfather out but after losing the key to his house, she tries to climb the fence and this is when she meets the famous actor Brody Nash. As they start to get to know each other and get closer their ex’s show up and set out to destroy their new relationship.
Can their newfound relationship stay strong with the rough start and misunderstandings?

Journeys Through TimeSpace is book 2 of this series and boy oh boy it does NOT disappoint!!!!! I definitely recommend reading book 1 first before reading this book, but the story is truly fantastic. While SCI FI is not my typical genre, reading these books made me fell in love with the genre when a story is so fantastic as this one. Book 2 picks up where book 1 leaves. You really get more in detail the stories of the characters and their agendas. I feel like I was along side with Matt, Julia and Dan as they embark on quite a journey. Truly Wonderful story and i enjoyed the adventure and mystery. Thank you Author James Talisman.

This book will have you hooked from start to finish! I loved the mystery and intrigue of Matt / Max’s identity, the badassness of the mafia princesses, and the loyalty/hate the characters had for one another.
At first it was a bit confusing keeping all the family trees separate, and I had to flip to the beginning of the book a couple of times to see the tree they provided, but I feel it was really well written and easy to understand after a short time of getting to know the characters.
I like that the book had more than one point of view so you got both main characters’ thoughts and feelings. I’m very interested to see where things go in the next book!

Forbidden Mate (Book 2 of The Shadow Chronicles) by C.R. Robertson is AMAZING!! I was hooked in book 1 and now I’m so upset there isn’t a book 3, but it was such a good series. Tasha and Levi continue trying to help both of their species to ally and help defeat the 3rd species. In doing so, they learn new things about each species in their past. During the battles, there are more drama stories and adventures which help lead them to what they need to know. I simply love the friendships, relationships, and comradeships that were made in this book. I wish some of them were my friends! Please make sure to read this series!! You will not be disappointed! 🙂

This was a book that was very relatable to me more than one. As I am one who tries my hardest always to plan all things perfectly, and with much organization and being precise, sometimes life throws you a curve ball when you at least expect it, and you may find something you always needed, even when you had no idea you wanted it, until its right there embracing you. The book was very touching and fun in many ways!
First off I loved how the main two characters were so relatable in many ways. Adam reminded me of someone special to me, the same person I actually married haha. Adam was a soul whom had been through more than he deserved, and he ended up well with a bitter taste for life, and when he opens up on his demons you respect as well as understand for why he is how he is. Maddie on the other hand reminded me very much of myself, she had had goals that she planned to reach and life kept happening and everything seemed to overly get in the way for her. I found she was a bit deflated with things happening as much as she did, and I will admit I have been there more than once!
Throw these two souls together, well their actually neighbor’s so run ins are kind of unavoidable, and perhaps something so worth while could happen, something that neither of them could eve even think to live without if they got a taste for it? They both had issues they had been through, and besides the sizzling chemistry these two had, or the wants of making the other feel things that you only read in fun romance novels, was enough said for sure! What really got to me , was when they really spent time together and realized under their skins how much there was to each of them, and how much there was truly to love one another within them. They needed each other just as much as they wanted one another, but can demons stay afar so these two can find happiness? Or will the past come back to haunt them?
The book was a fun read, very informative as much as it was relatable of the two characters, but the chemistry was a huge awesome bonus. it made them more relatable than you would think at first glance, or in this case, first read. I loved the relationship between them and how they grew as themselves as well as being more than what they started out as when I started this book. Its a sentimental read for sure I felt, and very much was enjoyed. I think a lot of people will find relations with Maddie and Adam, as well as a lot of heart feelings as reading. its defiantly a high recommendation on my end, with no hesitations!

Forbidden Wolf by C.R. Robertson is simply a great read! One vampire, one Lycan, two species that war against each other, but these two found love and have to fight their way out. Many years later, they meet again, but there is another species out there making themselves known even though they did not know it. The way C.R. builds this story with all the main characters is just amazing! This was my first read from C.R. Robertson, and I immediately made sure I got the second book! If you have a love for vampires and Lycans, then check this out!

Second chances don’t come often. So when they do you jump in and hang on for the ride. This page turner will keep you wanting more and more. Liz is trying to come to terms of the past and move on. All the while someone from her past keeps trying to ruin her. But an old flame (Matt) might be able to help since he is the Marshall of the town! Watch out, this story is pretty great. And worth the read to find out the ending!!

Raven Woman’s Tavern by Laura Koerber – Review by Allyson Ware
Very easy read and the detail is immaculate. The way everything is described from the main picture down to the minor itty bitty details that not many people think of. Definitely a book you have to pay attention to or you will miss a very important piece of the puzzle.
This book will have you considering who the bad guy is; a moral dilemma of sorts. When Baylor goes through what I would consider his “trials and tribulations,” you start to feel bad and want to help him through it. An overall interesting read.

Excellent second book! Picked up right where it left off. It’s honestly so well written and will grab your attention whether you think Scifi is for you or not! I really enjoyed this despite this genre not being my number one fave! The characters are amazing and it wasn’t a book that dragged and dragged. The author has done an amazing job and im so grateful I got my hands on it! I couldn’t put it down and when I was forced to I was constantly thinking about the book and wondering what would happen next! Definately worth a read!!!

Dahlia and Levi’s story was soooo good! Right from the start I knew I was going to love this book! The push and pull is such an enthralling move for this book and I was so pleased with the ending. I couldn’t reccomend this more! I read this as a Stand alone but definately going to check out the other books in the series!
