I had to go back and double check that this book was only 108 pages. I truly think that it takes a huge amount of talent to put so much “story” into just 108 pages. From the very first uncomfortable moment in Wexler’s office through all the tuff times and ooooo so sexy parts this book had me hooked. Cam Johns and Sonya Jesus make one dynamic duo of talent. The flow of the book is AMAZING. I’m extremely excited to see how these two continue their co-writing.

The Eclipse Dancer by Laura Koerber is, as I expected, another original story with plenty of thought provoking content. Ms. Koerber weaves magical realism with deft fingers, bringing complete believability to her work. Andy has been through a lot in her life, and while nursing her dying mother, begins to reflect back on her life- telling her story which flashes back between the past and present, telling of the circle of life, the mother/daughter relationship, thought provoking details, melancholy/sad/emotive moments, sensitive topics, death/dying, choices, mysteries of life, and a little magic. The story is told with rich detail and descriptions, bringing everything to life before my eyes. It was like watching a movie play out on the screen. Ms. Koerber has a lyrical, poetic feel to her writing which also adds to the atmosphere of her work, and making it very easy to read. Another captivating story from this clever writer!

The Devoted Fan is the fifth and final book in the 21st Century Courtesan Series by Pamela DuMond. OMG!!!! I have been hanging out since we started this journey back in book one to find out how everything played out in the end!!! I read this book 3 times before I felt like I could put it aside and write my review. This has definitely been a bittersweet read for me- finally finding out how Evie’s story ends, but also knowing that this was the final instalment ☹ and sooooo not being ready to say goodbye quite yet. But having said that, I FLOVED the story!!!! Pamela DuMond has upped the anti, yet again, and wove a complex, multi-layered, suspenseful, and addictive delight!! I know I keep saying it, but this is just so ADDICTIVE!!!! I am in a such a book funk now because I’m not sure when or how I will get my next fix!!! I hope Pamela DuMond has something in the works for me to get my hands on sooooooon- but in the mean time, I will be re-reading this riveting series from start to finish- again. As the story continues from the previous books, I really do recommend reading the other instalments before starting on this one- as they contain lots of backstory, character introductions, twists and turns, and other important information which will enhance your reading experience of this book, and the series as a whole. I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worth repeating again- this series is wonderfully original, with plenty of complexity, layers, intriguing developments, and clever interconnected details. Ms. DuMond weaves a rich and textured story with wonderful attention to detail and with a vividly descriptive quality to her scene setting, character creation, and story development. This book is dark, sexy, and very emotive- with plenty of danger, suspense, mystery, intrigue, and dramatic developments. It ties everything together beautifully making for a compelling read… I couldn’t, and wouldn’t, put it down until I had read every last word- devouring it in one sitting, before turning around and reading it again, and again. I am expectantly awaiting to see what Ms. DuMond does next! I can’t wait!!!! I need it like yesterday!
Thank you, Pamela DuMond, for such an addictive ride and giving us Evie and the 21st Century Courtesan series- one of my all time favourite reads!!!

S. DuMond – Review by Angela Hayes
When the glamour of fame dims down and the cameras stop shooting, Mila Blanc itches to be the Mafia princess she used to be. She misses her best friend—the man she shared every first with—but most of all, she misses herself. The problem is she’s too proud to admit she was wrong.
For eleven years, Dane Giordano has watched the only woman he’s ever loved forget him. He has hardened by the minute, grown crueler by the hour, and the love they once shared has transformed to hate.
So when Mila comes back during a turbulent time, ready to take her rightful place by his side, Dane doesn’t make it easy. To be his wife, she’s going to have to find herself again and prove she’s worthy of being a daughter of the Sindicato.
Dane is hard to love, but Mila is even harder to break.
Cam Johns began her career as a published author in 2016 with the release of her first book – Arousing Consequences – to the trilogy, The Arousing Series. However, actually publishing wasn’t part of her plan. After her husband was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, she found writing became a great way to relieve the tension and mounted pressures that come with watching someone she loves suffer from such a harsh diagnosis. It was her husband that pushed her to share her voice, regardless of how erotic that voice would become.
Live. Love. Laugh. A well-known mantra that has become her way of living. Live, by accepting the things you cannot change. Love, the ones closest to you as if there’s no tomorrow. Laugh, each day because sadness will get you nowhere!
Sonya’s a nerd—a cool nerd—who loves science, books, make-up and unicorns. She even has unicorn slippers and unicorn plushes adorn her office. It’s not obsession (or so she says), it’s simply an ode to her imaginative side.
She believes in fairytales and in the beautiful things a mind can conjure. She’s a firm believer of empowering the crazy fictional ideas, putting them down on paper (figurative paper because she’s not a fan of writing in notebooks), and letting them flourish into a story. Sometimes that story is about psychos and murders.
Don’t believe me? Ask her in any of her social media. She’s all about those connections.

Luce Eterna Part One is the fifth instalment in the Luminara series by S.J Molloy. This is a dark and erotic romantic suspense- with angst, emotion, drama, danger, and twists and turns. As the story follows on from the previous books I really recommend reading the other books first in order to fully appreciate the story. I had been on the fence with this series, especially through the first couple of books, but S.J Molloy has definitely won me over. I still think that the first three books could have been condensed into fewer books, but have enjoyed the story nonetheless. This is not a light fluffy read- the series is quite raw, with dark themes that could be considered triggers for some people. The characters have been through so much, and there is no respite in sight yet! The author has certainly put them through the wringer. So bring on Book #6!!

This was a good bad boy Romance that is the first book in the series. I enjoyed this book and was pulled in from page one. The story was well written and the characters were good. The chemistry between the MCs was spicyyy! I am looking forward to read more by this author in the future!

The Web of Humanity is the debut novel by Maria Turchin. It is an adventure story that is based on a true story. Jumping from past to present and back again- from WWII to the present day, this adventure has quite a lot going on. With history, mystery, secrets, political conspiracy, hidden agendas, danger, uncovering truths, drama, and more. This is a though-provoking story that examines the web of humanity and our inter-connectedness, while giving us several POV’s and spanning several generations and time periods- which gave me a great perspective of the story. The story leads us to examine aggression, racism, the abuse of power, and war. This is a thought provoking story that raised some questions of my own to examine. Looking forward to more from Ms. Turchin.

Chameleon has all the components of a gripping novel: suspense, paranormal activity, and a narrator you aren’t sure if you can trust or not. It was a fun and easy read that I read within a day. I wish that some events had been elaborated on to build more suspense. A few things felt a bit rushed over. The ending left me feeling like I wanted a more detailed explanation, but the slight cliff hanger was probably intentional! Overall, it was an interesting YA paranormal story that made for a good light read.

If I had a physical copy of this book, I would shelve it next to The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Go Down To Silence by G. K. Belliveau. I LOVED this book (with 1-2 exceptions mentioned at the end.) the story grabbed me and kept me with it. I agree with the author that sometimes we need to be reminded of the ugly in life. We need to remember and feel the ugly from the past to try to avoid it’s recurrence. We need to see the ugly in ourselves to stop it and change it. We also need to see the ugly around us to truly appreciate the beauty. I really loved this story, and the author delivered the story in a wonderful package, until the middle. The story has a very nice ending about 60% of the way through the book, and then the flow gets choppy. It felt like she chopped one book towards the end, plugged in a completely different story, and added the first ending back on after to try to tie them together. The second section is a different genre (action/adventure instead of historical fiction), and has a random stop in narrative to add in an unnecessary sex scene. if not for the strange flow and change of character, I would have readily given this book 5 stars! As it is, the story will stick with me and influence my decisions for life.

I give Blood Mug: Red Farlow Mysteries: #4 by W.F. Ranew, 5 stars.
I have always enjoyed this series and was looking forward to Red’s next adventure. This book didn’t fail to disappoint. Adventure happens right away in the story and then for a little while gets slower. There is a good reason for this though — we are getting background and information on the players in this adventure. While it may seem like a lot, it fits in perfectly when you remember that Red is a private detective and used to be on the force. This is exactly how he goes about things.
Then there is the story itself. It is different from any I have read before and there are quite a few possible reasons for the murder and a whole slew of suspects. You are kept guessing until the end while Red travels back and forth trying get to the bottom of things.
As a modern private eye mystery, I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to those who enjoy this genre. In my opinion, you do not need to read the previous books first, but I do recommend it because they are all wonderful stories.

I loved reading this book. My daughter and I read it together. We laughed and cried at parts. The antics that the main character gets herself is crazy. We loved that it’s a cook book too! We can’t wait to try some of these out on our own! Looking forward to the sequel!

This is the first book that I have read from either of the authors…but it definitely won’t be the last!
This book focuses on Braelynn and Seth. Braelynn, also known as Shaw, has just been named partner in the law firm she works at. She is a criminal attorney and the mafia men call when they need help. However, her life is about to change when an encounter with another partner sets her on a path she never saw coming. The man she calls to help her is also the man she is having a secret relationship with.
Seth is the son of the head of the Sindicato. After meeting Shaw as she was getting him off of murder charges, he now finds himself sneaking away to spend weekends with her because his family will not approve of their relationship. However, when the unthinkable happens, Seth and his family are there to help Shaw. This leads to their relationship coming out in the open and having to confront his father about it. Can he make his dad see that his heart doesn’t abide by traditions? And what happens when evidence comes to light that can change the dynamics of the Sindicato?
I really enjoyed reading Shaw and Seth’s story. There was love and murder….drama and justice…and some humor thrown in. I am looking forward to reading Dane’s story in the future.

Sexy Drug is the first book I have read by Melody Calder, but I LOVED it. I cannot wait to read the rest of the Losing My Heart series. I was instantly hooked and didn’t want to put it down. Lucky for me, I was passenger on a road trip, so I got to read it all in 1 night. However, it had such a cliff hanger ending that I am left wanting more. The book focuses around Katie, the daughter of a drug lord/cartel leader. When there is an attempt on her life, her dad assigns her a body guard, Ramone. The reader and Katie first believes he is just hired muscle, and one of the “bad guys” but we soon see there may be something deeper. There are hints and clues into his past, and who he really is, but it is never fully revealed. I love that the mystery remained throughout. I love reading mafia books, but this one takes the cake. Highly recommend this book, and cannot wait to read the next book.

Historical Fiction has always been a favorite of mine. Wareeze Woodson wrote an amazingly sweet novel with great historical detail and that lets you sink into the story. I could hardly put it down.
Emily Riventon is used as collateral for her stepbrother’s wager. Unfortunately for Emily, her step brother loses, the game of chance and we start our story with Phillip Beckely Benton, the Earl of Lenbridge. From here the story starts to get real good. This book kept me entertained and I couldn’t stay away.
I enjoyed the characters that Woodson brought to life. Sometimes when we are in the Earl’s point of view, to me the flow was a little unsettled at times. Although, not enough that I would rate it any less stars.
Blue Summer Part One is a quick read with wit and humor, steamy romance, and magic. Lillie is a strong and independent woman who is used to only being able to depend on herself. One day, her purse is stolen and she runs into two Zayed while trying to recover it. The Zayed are blue humanoid creatures that rather remind me of an old childhood favorite. The Zayed have been in conflict with an evil sorcerer for many years, and this brief contact with the Zayed now has Lillie in the sorcerers sights! When the Zayed take her back to their village, she must figure out her place and discover if she’s strong enough to help the Zayed prevail. My only critique is that I do wish the story did not seem so rushed. The entire first part spans less than two days. The story ends on a cliffhanger that will definitely have you looking to buy the next part! I look forward to getting to read it!

Antipodes is a unique young adult dystopian story set in and around Australia. Cam is a man in his 20s who lives in Australia with his mom, dad, and older sister. He attends college and is pretty content with his life until he hears about a deadly outbreak in Europe that will soon affect the entire world. Cam is chosen to go to an island with a few hundred other individuals and start a new community, safe from the outbreak. Cam is a very relatable character who struggles with survivors guilt. He finds friendship and companionship and does his best to contribute to the new society. One day, his girlfriend Freja disappears and Cam is left wondering where she could’ve gone. He eventually stumbles upon an antipode, which is a portal between two locations, and he finds himself in Scotland. He makes new friends and learns more about himself. But the memory of Freja still haunts him so he continues his search. This book is well written and I had a hard time putting it down. I’d definitely recommend it!

The Devoted Fan is the fifth book in the 21st Century Courtesan book and what a book it was. With every book, I believe that this is the best one of the series and that includes this book. Pamela DuMond has the ability to write you (the reader) in the story with all the other characters. The plotline is just hustling along. I was so enthralled by this book that I forgot what I was supposed to be doing for the day. Her characters bring this story to life. They are fully developed and complex in nature. This is a story about what Karma can do to you. I learned a big lesson from this book about Karma and how it can really mess with you. Do you know what Karma can do? I highly recommend this book to find out. I would say that you will need an afternoon to read the whole book and trust me you are going to want to finish this book.

Everly Taylor is a newer author to me and with that being said, I cannot wait to read some of her other books. Blue Summer has a nice easy, but fast pace at the same time, story. It has a meaty plotline that will hold your attention. The characters are full of zeal and life. They are well written with many details to make them real in your imagination. Lillie takes us on an adventure. The community of Zayed changed Lillie’s life. Will Lillie figure out what is going on around her before it is too late? Why is she so drawn to the Zayed community? I cannot wait to see what is in store in book 2. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Original. Engrossing. Page-turner. These are just a few words that I’d use to describe T.S Simons’ Antipodes. The storyline for this novel was organic, unique, creative and unpredictable. With reading any novel the reader has an inkling of the outcome. T.S captivates the reader’s attention with artistic curveballs and a storyline that makes you sit up and take notice. There were multiple elements encompassed in this story that made the storyline more thought-provoking.

Third book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. OMG One paragraph in and I was hooked! I loved everything about this audiobook. Crimson Oliver the “bad” witch just can’t seem to get it together. Things just seem to go from bad to worse for her until she meets her demon Mike, the Devil’s Advocate.
Faced with the threat of having her powers forever bound, Crimson hastily challenges the Head Witch to a battle of magic that she can’t possibly win with her current abilities. Enter Mike, the recovering Devil’s Advocate. Crimson and Mike have undeniable chemistry and are just starting to delve into their relationship when Mike accidentally makes a deal with Crimson to sell her soul to the devil.
This book has me seeking out other books by Carrie Pulkinen! You won’t be disappointed.

Adelia lives the ideal life with love and promise of a bright future with her husband. That all changed when she left to live as a lighthouse keepers wife. The loneliness can really make someone go mad. Her husbands befriends Devon and Adelia ends up falling for him. Adelia is met with Hope that is there to tell her story of love and death. I really enjoyed the twists in the book and Mya O’Malley really made you feel for the characters. I like how she was able to weave the stories into on. I cant wait to read more of what she puts out.

WOW! This was an epic saga of a novel! So much happened in this book, I don’t even know where to begin. The main character, Anna, goes on an adventure (guided in a way by her ancestors) to find out the truth about her grandmother’s life and the history of her bloodline through the 20th Century. So many great characters and mysteries to be solved. Anna is a natural sleuth, and uses her own knowledge, skill, and tenacity to track down the ghosts of her grandparents and great-grandparents. The plot was layered so well that I was very invested in Anna’s journey and all of the circumstances, lives, and loves of the past that brought her to discovering the truth about her grandmother and herself. A good portion of the plot takes place in WWII Europe, touching on WWI era and closer to the present. Do yourself a favour and READ THIS BOOK!

Cursed whispers is a really good book about witches and werewolves. This is the 1st book i’ve read in the series but I didn’t feel lost because it filled in the background pretty well. I will definitely have to go back and read the 1st two books in the series. The witches in this story all have unique powers like Max being able to speak to animals. The love Max shows for Claudia and her daughter right after meeting them is really sweet. The book was entertaining and had a lot of details that made the characters more realistic.

I really liked this story. I was a little apprehensive as I don’t normally read romance, and there were echoes of ‘Twilight’ in the theme (which I did not enjoy), but it was recommended to me, so I decided to give it a go. Very glad I did! The characters are fantastic, all of them brought to life with their own unique personalities and challenges. Livia is an amazing heroine, brave, strong, and very relatable. I loved seeing her find her inner strength, and refusing to compromise on the things that matter to her. The plot was well-thought out, and kept me hooked throughout the book. Some steamy sections, but overall they were secondary to an awesome story and adventure. I will definitely be reading the other books in this series.

The Way To Storey by L. B. Anne was an interesting read. This was a strange story, but an interesting one nonetheless. I’ve never read a story quite like this one before. This is a story for all ages. I enjoyed the imagery that was created this story and the characters were all entertaining and interesting. This was a very quick and easy read, which is a plus. I’m not sure how I feel about the ending, but it was entertaining. I feel like this book deserves a sequel, and I would definitely enjoy reading another installment.

Southland Academy for Supernatural Youth is an exciting children’s book by Sandra and Brooke Tentler. It’s aimed at confident KS2 readers but would also be enjoyed by KS3 readers (and beyond!). The story switches between the perspectives of different students at Southland Academy. They’re all different types of supernatural being – a werewolf, vampire and a witch amongst others – and none of them are particularly good at what they’re supposed to do. The werewolf keeps getting stuck with the most awkward parts of both human and wolf. The vampire faints at the sight of blood. Their families hope that sending them to the academy will help them learn to control their abilities (and in the meantime, the proximity to an infirmary is a plus…). My favourite character is Sheba, a witch’s familiar who can disappear and reappear at will. She has the frustrating task of trying to help a shy witch achieve her potential without interfering tooo much. For me, this is a five star book. I would have loved it as a child and really enjoyed it now. It’s a great story of unlikely friendships, with a mystery to solve along the way. It would appeal to fans of the Children of the Red King series and other children’s fantasy.

Walker Pride is the first book of the Walker Family series by Bernadette Marie. I discovered this book to have exceptionally well-developed characters. Eric Walker was the oldest brother that lived in a house on the far edge of the property where he ran a horse-boarding business. When he has to go to the main house for the reading of his grandfather’s will, he encounters Susan Hayes. After a few pleasantries were exchanged, his stepmother hurries him into the office where Eric’s whole world gets flipped upside down. His uncle Byron had gambled away the property and house that Eric had been on, and his grandfather had paid the debt by willing the property to Elias Morgan. Obviously upset, Eric hangs about with his cousin Bethany for a while. Bethany was in search of a place to live since the death of her mother. Ironically, Susan was in search of someone to be a roommate and help with her larger catering jobs. Eric intrigued with Susan and goes with Bethany to see Susan’s home. They end up going to dinner, and Eric pays. He tells Susan “You owe me one.”
The plot thickens with Eric’s violent interaction with Tyson Morgan. Susan and Eric develop a “thing” that they try to define and eventually settle on a possible long-term relationship. One morning, Eric discovers that someone has poisoned some of his horses and the cattle start dying as well. Who would do this? Eric suspects the Morgans and goes insane when he discovers Susan’s car at their home. I was shell shocked when I discovered the answers and the extreme secrets that are revealed as the story continues to unfold. This is a book that I cannot even think of scoring less than 5-stars. If you are looking for a romance story with mystery and fast pace revelations, this is one I would recommend highly.

When I say it is a paranormal romance, I mean its paranormal! Shifters, Vampires, Fae, Egyptian mythology- Lilly Rayman really hit a homerun with this. I was a little lost in the beginning because she throws a lot at you so fast but once the story gets going it truly is worth finishing and to say I am exciting for the next book is a huge understatement. Livvie has my heart and soul, she was such a relatable main character and I loved how strong she was even when she was struggling with all she had to face.
