Houses of Deception by Cynthia Hamilton Four Stars
Houses of Deception is the sixth book in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. This book is the best book in this series, so far. I would highly recommend you read this series in order. Although, each book is a complete story and can be a standalone, you will get the full backstory if you read the series from the beginning. This book is both thrilling and suspenseful, as the rest of the books in the series Ms. Hamilton keeps you guessing right until the end. Madeline and Mike are on the case, well two cases, and they are finding that neither case is as it first seemed. The twists and turns had me up late into the night trying to figure out the mysteries of the cases. Ms. Hamilton has such a brilliant way of keeping you guessing right until the end. I highly recommend this book, series and author. Review by @sunbarn

I loved this audible! This is my first audible by this author, I can’t wait to pick up another one. The narrator brought the story to life with their voice. They gave the characters a realistic feel by the change of tones. I had no problems connecting with the characters. This is an engaging story that is fast paced and full of action. Sophie is a woman who has ended up in a wheelchair by helping a friend. When a contract is put out on her she finds herself under the protection of the Satan’s Devils MC. She and Wraith are instantly attracted to each other but the problem is, she doesn’t think anyone would want her with the way she is. Will they be able to protect her? This is a great audible that I highly recommend. It is worth the listen too for sure!

I have always been a big fan of murder mystery novels, but this one truly hooked me, seriously. The writing itself was so well done, I have words to simply put how good this novel was to read and basically get lost in. This most defiantly will not be my last by this author, but it is my first. I am so happy I got a hold of this book and lost myself in the story. It was indeed a well worth read for sure!
One of the main characters, Dee, was a strong and someone really commendable. She was also a detective. Quite frankly, I will say she was very good at her job. She knew how to do it and do it well. She was strong in the mind and body and had great intuition as well. As the story starts to take off, there’s a murder case with her partner whom is named Connie. A person named Autumn has been murdered. Ok easy work for our Dee right? With all that said, what happens when she gets a murder case and the main suspect just happens to be her ex she thought she was over, but strength of her own heart speaks other wise?
As well as the whole thing of dealing with Grayson, she had Winston. Someone good for her I felt upon reading. You could tell he cared greatly and was a safe pick. Question of the matter though wash e too safe? Yes, there was a big love triangle and it goes deep into your soul more than I ever thought…I at this point never expected the triangle to go the way it did..to say it went crazy is a understatement, it went down a path I never saw coming. Honestly it made me love this book so much more!
Grayson was a suspect. Dee had trouble coming to terms that he would commit this murder. Herself and her partner Connie, decide to go forth and see what the next prime suspect Johnathan can give them for answers. Johnathan was a character to say the least. He was everything Dee shouldn’t want, but truly did with all of her mind, soul, and most defiantly her mind. He ran sex group, more like group of people having lots of sex. It was extremely unpredicted on my part and very twisted. And this made me dive in deeper to the story and the characters itself.
She was going through a lot. She had a history with her ex whom was a prime suspect. Winston who treated her good and loved her very much. A well as Johnathan who was a dark and twisted in the sense of what he could bring, but yet she wanted him so bad, but could allowing herself to be with Johnathan basically be the end of herself to what she knew? Perhaps what he shows her is so desirable that in every right aspect of her mind, she wanted basically what she knew she should never dare to consider?
I read on, and the story just got better and better. When Connie and Dee finished the case for the strangling of dear Autumn everything made sense in the end. I was a bit off with the sum up of the investigation, but it was what got me to the end of the book with twists as the dark creepy sense with the cult as well as the steamy moments it gave even when the characters did not need to touch each other to scream hot sexiness’.
The author was amazing with their writing skill. They made a story that was different from anything I have read. I loved it with a passion ! Maybe it was a curiosity that I had that wanted more, and when I got a bit of it, I still wanted more. I had such a good experience reading it. I will be reading more by this author and this was a rare treat that I can not recommend enough. Read this and you will have no regrets. Again to say simply, the book was amazing and writing blew be away. Loved it!

Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail by Samantha Shannon is a wonderful story with a beautiful group of animal friends learning some very valuable lessons some of which include Disability, accepting others and facing your fears. It is told in a style that is very easy to read and understand. It truly is a wonderful book for children of all ages, with gorgeous illustrations.

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet. This is the first book in her new series and what a great start it is. This is a well written story about getting a second chance at love. The characters are great, strong and connectable. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start. They made the story engaging and brought the story to life. I enjoyed how the author used details to give it a realistic feel. The growth throughout the story and their chemistry just adds to the story. Gage has a past that ripped his world apart. He didn’t believe it could happen twice to him but when it does, what will happen? This is a really great story that I found hard to put down. It is fun, easy and entertaining to read. I highly recommend this book.

This is a new author for me which I enjoyed from beginning to end. I look forward to reading more in the future. This is a science fiction thriller that pulled me in from the first word. Cole is the creator of a neurochip but now his company has been accused of multiple deaths. He is now faced with saving his company and finding the real killer before he ends up a victim himself. The characters are strong, great, well rounded characters that brought the story to life. I had no problems connecting with them. Cole is my favorite and his determination was great to see. This is full of action and was easy to read. I enjoyed the twist and turns as well and how they kept me turning pages. I really enjoyed this story and what Cole brought to the story. This is worth the pick up and I highly recommend this book.
This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. Her books pull me in from the first word and they are written with a lot of heart. This book is no different. This is a fun romance story that is shorter but it packs a punch. The characters brought the story to life and they are connectable. They made the story engaging and easy to read. I read this book in one sitting as it is that fast paced. The author’s use of details gave the story a realistic feel and I had no problems feeling I was right with the characters. This is a story about Ivory and Li. Their growth and chemistry just adds to the story. Their story is one of love and emotions. What will happen when Li says that he will be Ivory’s pretend boyfriend? This might solve her problem but they may just get more than they expect. I loved them and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book and this author

This book is your typical small town romance, so if that’s your thing, then you will definitely love this book. This is book 3 in the series – you don’t need to have read the first two, however they will give away some plot lines from the previous books. Lark is the opposite of her academic sisters, enjoying her lifestyle of teaching art and travelling to sell her own work – just like her mum. Six years ago she left Hunter, and has avoided coming home but now they have to work together to help Wren & Smith finalise their wedding. This was definitely a case of opposites attract. Lark & Hunter were great characters, very real easy to like. I really enjoyed all the mystery surrounding the family history, and it really helped show the reasons behind Lark’s actions years ago. I loved watching them both re-discover the love they had for each other.

This book! THIS BOOK! Gosh I enjoyed it so so much! The world building and the characters in here are phenomenal! My character list and world info is ever expanding. This story really took me along for a ride! It seems to be sort of a reverse harem anyway that is what is hinted at. Sadly I would have missed out on an amazing story since I usually pass on those types. So I am glad I gave it a go since I devoured the book.
Secondary characters really keep me on my toes. I am figuring out what the purpose is of each just as Vanessa is. I love that! We see some characters from book one in her and meet quite a few new ones. Some good and some not so good.
Overall this is an outstanding story! I enjoyed book one but this one really brought a lot together. Plus the world is perfectly described so I can picture it right along with Vanessa. I highly recommend but suggest you read book 1 first for total enjoyment.

5 Stars Dangerous Curves Boxed Set #1 (Dangerous Curves Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery
Dangerous Curves Boxed Set is the first three books in the Dangerous Curves Series by KL Montgomery. This is a Cozy Christian mystery that once you start reading you won’t want to put it down till you finish. Each story has murder mystery and characters that make you feel as if you are right there with them trying to solve the case. Sunshine Baker is a Librarian and she tries to solve each mystery. These stories are easy to read and even more fun to try and figure out the case. I highly recommend reading this Boxed Set. I can’t wait to see what she brings us next.

Born in Boston with the accent to prove it, Risa Nyman lived within ten miles of that city for decades until a recent move to the neighboring Ocean State.
For many years, Risa worked for the League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization, dedicated to promoting active participation in our democracy, with a special focus on voting and elections.
Risa’s creative writing journey started when she found three pennies in a neat stack in an otherwise completely empty apartment that had belonged to her mother. It’s an interesting story, and there was definitely some magic in those pennies. Her debut middle grade novel, Swallowed by a Secret, was published by Immortal Works Press in January 2020.
When not writing, Risa is reading, exercising or doing therapeutic ironing (yes, there is such a thing.)

Her hope is dashed, however, when after her baby is born, it’s given to a couple in a closed adoption, and the home casts her back out on the streets alone.

Effacement by Hieronymus Hawkes is a sci-fi thriller that is an amazing book to read.
The development of the neurochip necessitates that everyone keeps a lifelog of their activities. Without one, you can’t acquire insurance, create a bank account, or work. Surveillance has grown commonplace in the United States, and the government is cracking down. Dr. Cole Westbay has been a major factor behind BioNarratus, the company behind the world-changing neurochip. Cole examines his firm when it is accused of being involved in a string of recent fatalities. Instead, he is assaulted, his neurochip damaged, and he has no recollection of recent events.
In the course of figuring out who is behind his attack, he loses faith in everyone he cares about and is forced to rely on a gang of strangers who live off the grid. As he reassembles his life, he discovers that he is the target of every news organization in North America and the central figure in a government cover-up. Can he stop them from killing more innocent people before they permanently silence him?
I loved this story and the concept of it as well. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is the first book that I have read from this author, I cant wait to read more.
Niran and Saffie’s story continues in this book with Saffie’s ordeal continuing as well. Duke, her abusive husband, still after her we are hit with the realization that yes this is what it feels like. Women in this situation feel like they will never be free from the abuse. Manda does a great job of bringing these kinds of situations to light. I loved seeing the relationship go a bit slower having started a little different and progress. I love the world building done in this series that started with Lost – who is epic by the way. Great romance, great abuse survival story, and great characters!!

I give Hairballs and Homicide (A Kitty Beret Cafe Mystery, Book 1) by Ruth J. Hartman, 5 stars.
As a cozy mystery book, this book is great, it has all the things you want in a cozy mystery and keeps you guessing until the end. As a cat lover and cozy mystery aficionado, this book is phenomenal. The cats in this book – I want to adopt them all!! As the lead clue finder, Templeton is awesome. The other kitties in the cafe looking for forever homes are all adorable and huggable. Ellie has a huge heart and genuinely wants to help others — mainly the furry kind, but also the two-legged kind also. Oh, and her assistant has her own funky personality and is just as great.
The setting as a kitty cafe where the kitties can be adopted is very original in a cozy mystery and I love the concept. The other people in her town are all unique and great. And the suspense around the murder keeps you guessing and changing your mind.
I loved this book and cannot wait to read the next one. Any fan of cozy mysteries or of the adorable balls of fur and purrs will love this book.

Hartman – Review by Erin Wolf
I’ll be honest, I loved the other books in this series so much, I was prepared for this book to be a letdown. After reading summary, I just didn’t think it was going to have the appeal of the first book. I liked Niran in those books, but his personality is kind of low key. Man, was I wrong. Saffie’s story had me at the first page. It grabbed my heartstrings and did not let go. It isn’t easy to write a character that is hated by end of first chapter, but you did it Manda. You will love Niran and be cheering on Saffie by the end of the book. Not only those two, but the secondary characters are amazing as well. Some of them you will meet if you start at book one.

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Mr. Talisman has me hooked. I can’t wait to read the next book.
There are so many characters so it was hard to choose the quotes. Two that stuck out were characters from different worlds. Or different parts of the MultiVerse.
The first quote comes from Matt. He’s a college student in Colorado. The quote I chose for Matt is: “Doubt that, buddy. You seemed to be the one taking a beating earlier.”
The other quote comes from Queen Neferities. Part of another part of The MultiVerse. The quote I chose for Queen Neferities is: “I would like some time to think about your request. I will ask Aderan to arrange accommodations for you and Thoran while I spend a few days pondering your entreaty.”

Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail (Jake the Growling Dog Book 3) by Samantha Shannon – Review by Krista Vaughan
This amazing story of Jake and his friends is a wonderful resource to help kids navigate the fear of meeting new people. When fear takes hold of the mind of a child it can grow into something that disturbs sleep and the way they approach life. The story itself shows that is not scary to meet a new person who is different from you. New people can be new friends. The extra activities and resources in the back of the book are great conversation starting points and ways to have children and adults interact to keep the discussion going. I would definately recommend this for the children in your life.

I just love Templeton in the cozy mystery. Templeton is just a cat, but oh what a cat he is!
Ellie Warren opens Kitty Beret Cafe in hopes of providing a different type of cafe atmosphere dedicated to “kitty time” and rehoming her cats. Customers come in to enjoy their cup of coffee while also enjoying time with her cats. Ellie’s cafe business contains lots of regulars, but an unwelcome visitor saying horrible things about the cafe and the stranger’s death behind her cafe makes her life a little more unsettling.
Detective Simon Dare stands at Ellie’s side when her life gets more complicated as someone sabotages her brake lines. The detective becomes her shadow as Templeton keeps finding clues in the coffee shop. Can Detective Dare solve the crimes related to Ellie’s cafe before it’s too late?

I look forward to reading Cyn’s story. If you’re looking for a great MC read this is a great series to read, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Bared was an ok read. I really wanted to love this book better than I did. The synopsis sounded great and I thought it would be incredible. Maybe it was just an off reading day but this book didn’t capture my attention at all. I never felt drawn in, to the stories or the characters. It was entertaining, just didn’t hold my attention. I hate that I didn’t love this book like I wanted to. I’m going to give it 4 stars though I didn’t hate it. It was just very eh to me. It was well written and had a great premise I just really think I had an off reading day. Maybe I’ll enjoy the next book in this series better!

Hairballs and Homicide (Kitty Beret Café Mysteries Book 1) by Ruth J. Hartman is probably one of the most interesting books that I have read in a long time. When I first read the blurb about this book being the cat love that I am, I just knew that I had to read it right away. Ms. Hartman did not disappoint not only did she give us an enticing mystery with clues that had us furiously flipping the pages to see what would happen next but she gave us so many imaginative cute and cuddly kitties, amazing main characters, and a suspenseful mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat. Her writing flows well, although I did find a few typos but nothing that bothered this reader. So if your looking for a fun mystery this week I highly recommend Hairballs and Homicide (Kitty Beret Café Mysteries Book 1) by Ruth J. Hartman.

Hartman – Review by Stephanie Nicole
The thrilling second book for the Masters of the Consulate did not disappoint. We know from the first book that the main heroine in this story has suffered terribly and she already has her mate in Christian Tuscano. The story is really about Christian having to woo his mate again, in fear that she is too fragile from her prior ordeals. But we find that Delilah’s ordeals have made her stronger and she finds strength in herself. In this case, there is no maiden to be saved. She does the saving, herself. I enjoyed this book much more than the first.
Thank you Ms Black for a steamy vampire with soul.

I enjoyed this cozy mystery, it was a nice change of pace to me to dive into to read. Ellie Warren runs Kitty Beret Cafe and also loves to sew little costumes for the cats that are in her cafe. It warms the heart a bit that all she wants is to find loving homes for these cats. Unfortunately, a not so nice lady comes into the Cafe and says unkind words and threatened Ellie and her cafe to run a story on how bad the cafe is and the cats. Later, the same lady, is discovered dead behind Ellie’s cafe. Who would kill this lady and why? This is a sweet, cozy mystery. The cats made me chuckle especially Ellie’s cat Templeton. Overall a very good story if you do enjoy a cozy mystery.

Hartman – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
Claudia never knew a kind soul, and after a decade in captivity, abuse and confinement had become the norm. Until faced with the thought of her daughter living the same existence, and then Claudia escaped with Katia running towards something, a whisper of kindness.
Max, found her the same way.. by listening. Another of the Broderick Coven strengthening his mystical skills, he spoke to Claudia in her Werewolf form, quieting her trauma and letting the Siblings do what they do best, band together to make things right.
I very much appreciated the careful way A.J. Renee dealt with trauma and the hopeful healing Claudia went through. The nod in the front of the book linking to the National Human Trafficking hotline is well done by the author.
Join Max and Claudia as they find romance, and the rest of the Broderick clan, Bishop Coven and the Alumbra Pack, in this paranormal adventure, Book Three of the Broderick Coven!
