Manifested Dreams by Dr. Yvonne Johnson – Review by Kayla Bullock

Manifested DreamsManifested Dreams by Yvonne Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Manifested Dreams tells the family story from the 1800’s until present. The story is presented through a series of letters, each written by a different generation. Focusing on an African-American family that started in slavery, the story progresses through Emancipation, the civil rights movement, and more.

I enjoyed this book. It makes the reader think long and hard about their life and their role in preventing discrimination. It was definitely an interesting look at the lives of African-Americans in this county. It left me wanting more–I wanted to know more about the characters and their lives. Great book that I would recommend to everyone!

Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by India Kells

Holy Cow I loved listening to this book, the narrator did an outstanding job with bringing the characters to life. I could listen to him all day long. This author is one of my favorites and I never hesitate to pick up any books by her. This one kept me on the edge of my seat and at times I wanted the narrator to talk faster. Listening to this book took it to a whole new level for me. If you like books that are packed with suspense, mobs, gangs, drama and some Romance then I highly recommend reading/listening to this book. I can’t wait to listen to more of her books.

Lake of Flowers (The Lord Hani Mysteries, book 5) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Betsy Melano

Lake of Flowers (Lord Hani #5)Lake of Flowers by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lake of Flowers by N. L. Holmes is the fifth book in The Lord Hani Mysteries. The story takes place in ancient Egypt. What gets me every time with this series is the descriptions of the area and the times when Pharaohs ruled Egypt. It really helps you feel like you are there in person. As in the previous books of the series, Lord Hani is being tasked with finding out why suspicious things keep happening in the royal household. As Lord Hani is researching these minor crimes he wonders if they are somehow connected.
With this series, it really helps if you read the books in order. The names and areas which are well researched by the author, it can get confusing with all the different names. The glossary is a huge help.

Soulful and insightful
This little collection of well-written stories will get you thinking. Every story is different but draws you in and takes you on a little trip. I connected with each of the characters and felt their emotions shine through from happiness to heartbreak and everything in between. Even though each story is short it still felt complete. Highly recommend.

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman – Review by Amanda Glaspie

Journeys Through SpaceTimeJourneys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Journeys Through Space Time by James Talisman was a unique read. It follows the stories of several different characters among different time frames and multiverses as they hear a mysterious voice. The beginning of the book, while describing the main characters, feels like it was written with a minimum word requirement with the excessive describing of every single detail. It became almost overwhelming at times. It wasn’t consistent with the style of writing for the remainder of the book which I was very happy to see. However, if you like a book that gives strong vivid details to set the scenes, this is the book for you.

Beware, the book can be hard to follow and it can be confusing how each story is connected. Jumping back and forth between the different realms, I found myself having to go back to the previous chapters to remind myself who these characters are. Thankfully, James does provide a character list in the beginning of the book that I found incredibly helpful. Once I stopped trying to connect the different realms/characters and read each chapter as individual short stories, it became a page turner that I couldn’t put down. I was excited to see what happened next and the final wrap up at the end was the perfect ending.

Ultimately, I was hesitant to read the story as the overview seemed overwhelming and confusing but I am so happy that I did. Journeys Through Space Time ended up being an exciting book following different characters who had to find the good in themselves to beat the bad. Classic good versus evil written in a completely new way.

Captured by the Viscount by Wareeze Woodson – Review by Jenni Bishop

Captured by the ViscountCaptured by the Viscount by Wareeze Woodson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Captured by the Viscount by Wareeze Woodson is an historical romance with a twist. I not really a historical romance type of girl but I did really enjoy this book. I think because it was not quite the normal romance. There is nothing like a little bit of cloak and dagger going on and being caught in the act to bring them together in an unusual proposal. I loved the ongoing banter and constant back and forth between Isabel and Matthew. This engaging little tale is a delight.

Chatroom With A View by Glenn Maynard – Review by Ashley Dover

Chatroom With A ViewChatroom With A View by Glenn Maynard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chatroom With A View is an incredible story. For some people who have experienced bullying and domestic violence this book may contain triggers.

The primary character in the book is Troy Cullen. After a childhood that involved domestic violence and an inability to find his place in society, Troy is still living at home for no other reason than to protect his mother. His father is verbally and physically abusive and does not care who receives the brunt of his anger. After an especially tragic night, Troy must face some new obstacles in life.

As a way of making himself feel more normal, Troy engages in chatroom dating. He met a girl named Veronica in this chatroom, and they hooked up a few times. Troy realized that he needed her out of his life because of her nature. Only when Veronica pops up with the story that she is pregnant does Troy truly know that he cannot be with Veronica.

Troy needs to move on with his life, but he is triggered when he learns that the waitresses from the diner where he works have been playing the field in the chatroom that he frequents. Decisions are made, plans are put into action, and it all comes down to who will make through the final showdown.

This is a fast-paced novel that will have you hanging on every word.

India Kells does it again with this great audio. The story pulled me in and didn’t let me go until the very end. The Narrator was a good choice for this book, I don’t listen to male narrators very often but Antonio Turner did a great job. He has a nice voice and i lost myself in the story and his voice. The drama, suspense and romance kept me coming back and the characters made stay. I will listen to more by this author in the future and i wouldn’t mind listening to this narrator again too.

It is the generational stories that keep the spirit alive and truly tell the tale of how history affected real people. In this short story by Dr Yvonne Johnson, we hear young voices tell the story of several generations of an African-American family. Through their combined history, told through the from the point of view of daughters who become mothers, we feel their both their frustration and elation.
With a good balance of historical fact and familial history, we see the dreams of a people manifest within the lineage of one family. The only thing I wished it had more of was pages!! Looking forward to this authors next work.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Georgia Clay (Southern Promises Book 1) by K.G. Fletcher is a romance book.

Georgia Clay is well-known in Nashville. He’s the dashing, award-winning songwriter who rubs shoulders with country music’s elite. Clay, a great performer in his own right, has always been hesitant to take the stage on his own for fear of exposing his crippling childhood secret. Katie Parker is a workaholic Southern beauty who prioritizes her profession over her personal life. Her perseverance and gumption in ascending the corporate ladder are as impressive as her understanding of the cutthroat insurance industry she has expertly navigated over the years. In the heat of Atlanta July, the musician and business lady meet each other at their ten-year high school reunion and end up in the back of his pickup truck, chatting till dawn. Can Clay acknowledge to Katie that she had his heart a long time ago as they continue their passionate long-distance relationship? Will Georgia Clay’s ambition and support ultimately convince him to take a gamble on his career and love?

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 in the series and I can’t wait to read more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another great read by Manda Mellett that deals with some issues that teens face today. I like that she tackles the issues bringing awareness to them. I was not crazy about the female lead in this story. I realize she acted like a lot of people probably would act, but I just didn’t relate to her. The romantic relationship wasn’t my favorite as much as the parental relationship that develops – don’t want to give too much away. One of Manda’s talents is her development of relationships in the story, and she doesn’t disappoint in this one.

I get so lost in Manda Mellet’s story telling that I read her books in one sitting. The characters are amazing and deal with real life situations. This is Grumbler’s story. Grumbler decided to pimp out his bike to a photographer that takes pics for book covers. When he doesn’t get paid what he is owed he starts to dig into the photographer. What he finds opens a whole can of worms, I was not expecting.
Mary let her daughter model, but only if Mary goes with her. There she meets Grumbler, a gruff man whom she was quite attracted to. But would their paths even cross again?
Being in my late 40’s I rooted so hard for Mary and Grumbler. We may be older, but we aren’t dead!
Be aware there are trigger warnings, rape and of sexual nature. Very gritty story that I absolutely loved.

Patsy is moved with her son as part of a witness protection order. Due to a message from an unknown source, the MC moves into protect Patsy and her son from danger as they investigate what is going on. Can Patsy and Lost come together and find love amid all the turmoil? I love the ride that Manda Mellett takes me on, a page turner for sure!

Manda Mellett has drawn me into a genre I hadn’t read before, and I am completely in love. This book was so heart wrenching. This is Saffie and Narin’s story. Saffie has literally been through hell and in a chance meeting with Narin and his sergeant-at-arms old lady, Mary, Saffie finds some comfort. At least until Saffie finds out that Narin is part of an MC. The Devi’s take Saffie under their wing and offer her their protection, but can she trust them and let them try to protect her?
This book ended on a cliffhanger, and I am impatiently waiting for the next installment due out soon.

This is my favorite Manda Mellett book so far, but I have a feeling she will keep surprising me. Everything, the characters, the plot, and the action sequences seemed so real. Lost, man, I loved Lost. I have dealt with that voice in my head and could totally relate. It will be a while before I forget his character’s story. I loved the way the MC was kind of dragged into the situation instead of being in it to begin with. I also loved that the hero/heroine are older. I enjoyed the fresh perspective and being reminded that growing old isn’t the end of new relationships or new experiences.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a thought provoking read! Four different time/story lines that all end up intersecting at the end to bring it all together, in a sense. Each timeline- think Star Trek (future), Egyptian (past), Chinese (past), and current times- has their different, yet similar, good vs. evil characters. You love to hate the bad guys and root for the good guys!

This was my first time reading this author. I have to say, I was blown away by how much he was able to convey with each timeline and it not feel repetitive! Immediately, you are drawn in to each time’s story and eagerly read to see how it all comes together.

Manifested Dreams by Dr. Yvonne Johnson – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Manifested DreamsManifested Dreams by Yvonne Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an interesting book. It is presented as a compilation of stories passed down through a family, in which one storyteller in each generation tells about the important events of their life. There were some great moments in black history recalled, and how that event was important to them, or changed their lives. The story moved quickly, and there were lots of interesting details in each person’s telling. I loved the character of Amari’s grandmother; it was easy to picture her twinkling eyes and crown of braids. I would have liked to see more differentiation in the narrator; the voices all sounded as if coming from the same person. A little more individuality in the speaker would have made this better for me. Despite that, I really enjoyed reading this work, learned some new things, and it made me question the role of history and storytelling in my own life.

I need me a Tom. 😉 Relatable characters, chemistry, passion, and wicked sense of humour- what is not to like! I really enjoyed reading this novel. Trying to refrain from making past mistakes the Chelsea decides to purposely date “douche bags” and ignoring numerous red flags and then enduring heartache. While Tom suffers from the white knit syndrome. What a pair! It was quite ironic that these individuals were oblivious that their attraction to each other was mutual. Bless the heavens for best friends and bets. I appreciated that Belinda saw fit to allow Tom and Chelsea to individually work out their issues rather than dragging their baggage into their relationship. I am now highly anticipating Book 2 (Spoilsport).

I enjoyed reading this engrossing novel. Mystery, suspense, intrigue are all components of this page-turner. I loved the continued plot twists that are constant throughout the novel. It is not messy or confusing or overwhelming (you know those annoying use of fillers, ugh)- but a smooth transition to every reveal. The characters are easy to love and are relatable (there is a slap somewhere in the mix for Pamela). I refused to go to bed without finishing this novel (thank God for coffee); I appreciated the creativity and complexity in Wareeze’s storytelling. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Avenging Devil part 1 is the third installment to the San Diego and as the title reveals there is a part 2. Part 1 was so good that I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and went a little crazy anticipating part 2 due to the way that Ms. Mellett leaves part 1. As much as I love her other novels this story is so descriptive, her characters so amazing that I find myself craving more. She weaves layers upon layers of tension, drama, complexity, and romance, making sure to put her readers and characters through a dramatic roller coaster ride. Ms. Mellett gives us so much that she will have you flipping the pages until the very end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shy musician meets corporate career woman and sparks fly- a compelling read. I admired the insight into each character. While it is great to have self-confidence, I appreciated the hurdles that Clay had to overcome to go on tour. Let us be honest that everyone loves a success story, and this is no different. Both characters are relatable. Katie struggles with supporting Clay on a new venture vs putting her career first. That is relatable as it is easy to stay within our comfort zones instead of stepping out in faith. Clay battles his insecurities that stem from childhood, again all relatable as we all have insecurities. This story is not far-fetched- it is not something that is mind blogging or incomprehensible I liked that. I loved that K.G presented another facet to musicians. Clay and Katie’s relationship is real, raw, and organic and for that I am appreciative.

5 out of 5 stars

HOWLY COW this is the best book I have read in the Satan’s Devil MC. Avenging Devil is part 1 Niran and Saffie story and it ends in a big cliff hanger. The characters are written amazingly. They are strong minded and they way these characters play off each other are great and their quirks make them feel real.

Saffie has been hurt by an MC before so when she finds out Niran is part of an MC she kicks him out and is scared that he knows her ex so she wants nothing to do with him.

Niran was discharged from the army because he lost part of his leg he was floundering until he met the Satan Devils. So, for Niran to be apart of her life he either must leave the Devil’s or show Saffie that the Satan’s Devils are totally different then the one who hurt her.

Will Saffie’s Ex find her? Will Saffie realize the Satan Devils are different from the other MC before its to late? Can Niran keep Saffie safe? Can they work against the odds to be together or are they doomed?

You need to read this great book….
