4.5 stars

Luce Eterna: Part 1: Book 5, The Luminara Series by SJ Molloy is dark and erotic but is quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. Heart officially broken! Sobbing is a given so stock up on those tissues. SJ once again puts these characters through dark, raw and tumultuous times that would break even the strongest of people. With even more twists and secrets, angst, and turmoil I was engrossed and enthralled. SJ’s writing style turns her stories into page turners and become addictive.

THE DEVOTED FAN (21ST Century Courtesan Book 5) by Pamela DuMond writing as P. S. DuMond – Review by Jenni Bishop

THE DEVOTED FANTHE DEVOTED FAN by Pamela DuMond
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

THE DEVOTED FAN (21st Century Courtesan Book 5) by P.S. DuMond is the end of the series and I have been waiting with bated breath for it to come out. As Pamela says each of the stories are a blend of dark romance, psychological suspense, and domestic thriller. Reading the books in order is a must to get the full effect of the characters and what is going on plus each book ends with a cliff hanger.

Pamela has woven even more multi-layers in story line with lots of emotions and complexities, and it all comes to a tumultuous head. You never know where Pamela will take you with her wonderful story telling. I have said it before, but it is as true for this book as the others. It is as dangerous as it is mysterious, and as it is sexy as it is suspenseful. It is dramatic, and it is captivating in its uniqueness. It is also hot and full of lust and love, and loyalty but it is also full of danger and an unknown threat.

Evie’s tragic childhood has shaped her life. She is an empath who uses it to help others and is much sought after for her specific talents.

CHAMELEON by Zoe Kalo – Review by Jenni Bishop

ChameleonChameleon by Zoe Kalo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

Chameleon by Zoe Kalo is a dark and eerie YA paranormal (or is it?) story. We are faced with the usual angst that YA’s go through plus each of them have very dark secrets. Please be aware that there are trigger issues such as mental health issues, rape, and psychological manipulation.

I found myself confused and I struggled to read some parts due to the way it was written and had to go back and re read them. The premise is good, but it felt like at times we needed a little more detail to make this story and the characters really shine and make this a great story. However, the mystery and suspense keep you wanting to know what is going on.

Sheldon and Alexis were dynamic together and set the story alight with their attraction and chemistry. Danger and suspense are around every corner. A very classy dark mafia romance. 5 well deserved stars.

T.S. Simons is an Australian author of Scottish heritage. Living in the alpine region of Australia, she believes in the values of sustainability and community in a world where we place greater value on possessions than people. The Antipodes series addresses the question—if we gave young people the opportunity to start over, would we replicate the mistakes of the past?

Her desire to assist others saw her working in international development before realising that her passion lay in education. She holds a Bachelor and Masters degree and enjoys drinking coffee, travelling, mythology, snow skiing, while attempting to live as sustainably as possible. She is owned by two rather bossy standard schnauzers and two rescue cats who co-manage her household.

Antipodes is the first novel in the Antipodes series, followed by The Liminal Space and Ouroboros. A novella prequel, Crossroads, is now available. She is working on a fifth novel in this series, Caim.

Marcas MacArthur was as tough as they come. The former Navy Seal had dedicated his life to lead the elite Columbia SWAT team and had no time for relationships. He had two reasons. Putting his life on the line daily would be too much to ask any woman to deal with, and she would be a distraction. But when the new neighbor next door moved in, she captured his attention.
Sarena Rucker was an emergency room nurse who had a thing for men in uniforms. The single sergeant who lived next door made her knees weak. Decked out in his tactical gear, he was the perfect package—sexy, rugged, intense—and he loved to be in charge.
One night together and their lives changed forever. Sarena had got under his skin, and Marcas couldn’t get enough of her. Everything was perfect until Marcas learned of the target on Sarena’s back because of her connection to him. He would do anything to protect her.
Will he be able to save her in time, or will he lose the one who gave him hope for the future?

I’d always been the black sheep of the family. No wonder they picked me to play undercover boss at Sweetopia, the theme park my family owned. While they lounged in the lap of luxury, I’d be donning an apron to serve pastries at Cotton Candy Castle, one of our most popular attractions.

But I was tempted to blow my cover when I met The Red Velvet Queen. She was wearing a costume and a fake jeweled crown, but this woman was absolutely breathtaking. I invented a baker’s dozen reasons to talk to her every day, quickly becoming addicted to her sweet, sugary goodness.

She thought I was just seasonal help. Too bad I was actually her boss. It could never be more than a fling…a fleeting one at that. Flings were what I lived for, so why couldn’t I settle for just one slice instead of wanting the whole damn pie?

Blue Summer Part One is the first book I’ve read by Everly Taylor. This paranormal fantasy held my attention from the very first page. I can’t wait to read part two of this story. Lillie is human and she was having a bad day when two big blue guys come into her life. Zayed are blue people that Lillie has only heard rumors about, but finds herself entangled with. This book is full of magic, suspense, adventure and big blue men. This short story was intriguing and I will keep my eye out for other book by Ms. Taylor.

Apocalypse NOPE!! (Queerpocalypse) by Deidre Huesmann – Review by Danielle Thompson

Apocalypse NOPE!!Apocalypse NOPE!! by Deidre Huesmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Apocalypse Nope! by Deidre Huesmann is an LGBTQ+ YA/teen comedic romance novel. The teen angst of the main character Ivy-Jean took me back to my teen years (insert MCR songs now please) and yet the quips of humor were ongoing subtle perfection. A delightful spin on the apocalypse with modern-day details bringing it to life. So if you like an apocalypse-themed read this one is for you. The author has their version of the four horsemen, or rather, the four horsepeople of the apocalypse and they are my favorites of the whole book. I loved it every step, or rather, page turn of the way. That being said, be aware if you have arachnophobia (*raising my own hand*) there are indeed spiders literally crawling on Ivy-Jean. Albeit some actually come quite cute; Like Ivy-Jean’s fuzzy little friend, Spinderella. Having called forth the horsepeople she now has the conflicting task of bringing about the apocalypse. Her creative solution to the scenario they end up in is interesting. I also enjoy the character growth of Ivy-Jean throughout the story. This story is well-suited for the YA/teen group, with subtle romance, fun characters, and a humorous spin at the end of days. I also think New Adult age-ranged fans would enjoy this read as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel, but wanted to love and roll my eyes at the melodrama that comes with being a teenager from the main character Cat. Another great thing about this book is the recipes that are included after each chapter! They made me want to start baking while I was reading this novel. I thought this was a very cute and sweet book and I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

I was so excited to get the final book in this love story. We have gone through so much with these two so many twists and turns and drama and this book brings so much more. I will warn that you better have some kleenex handy, my emotions were all over the place.

Lexi and Luca face so many difficult things as parents, things that will test their strength, love and courage. I will admit that Lexi had me frustrated on so many levels, I felt bad for Luca quite a bit. I really don’t want to say much more because I don’t want to give anything away. Be prepared for another cliffhanger that will leave you wanting the next book now. I have come to really enjoy this author’s books, she does a great job with her writing. I will warn that there are some things that may cause triggers for some. 1-click and get started on this series today.

First off, the title to this book is spot on! I read the whole book in one night. Once I started, I couldn’t stop. There were so many twists and turns that you never knew what was going to happen next. It was thrilling.
The author shined some light on some metal illness which as someone who also suffers from mental illness was very captivating for me. It helped me to connect to the main character Paloma. She was struggling to understand what was real and what was in her head which just added to the darkness of the book.
It was very well written and easy to connect with the characters.
I would highly recommend reading this title if you are looking for a mysterious and dark quick read!

Chased (A Cambridge Men of Honour Novel Book One): A Dark Mafia Bad Boy Romance (Cambridge Men of Honour—Dark Mafia Romances 1) by Felicity Brandon – Review by Danielle Thompson

ChasedChased by Felicity Brandon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chased (A Cambridge Men of Honor Book One): A Dark Mafia Bad Boy Romance by Felicity Brandon has all the trimmings of what one could hope for in a dark romance. It’s a first-person read told from the point of view of our two leading characters. Alegra is a lawyer with a strong personality and do-good moral compass who finds herself enthralled with a villainous male, Chase. Opposites attract indeed; he is the leader of the largest crime organization in Britain (albeit with the world at his fingertips). I actually appreciate that in sticking with the theme his character is true to what one would expect of someone involved in organized crime without all sugar-coating the character for the sake of making them more likable. Honestly in that position of power being a softy would make you weak and a target. So if you have any interest in organized crime historically you might appreciate that. The story is a page-turner and recommended for adults who enjoy a true “bad boy” type fictional character.

Betrayal at the Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery (Dangerous Curves Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery was a book full of mystery and suspense. It is a great cozy read.

When tragedy hits the Bryce Beach Public Library, librarian Sunshine Baker must choose between solving the mystery and losing her job. Sunshine feels unusually equipped despite having no prior detective experience, thanks to her ninja YA librarian talents and all those Nancy Drew books she read as a youngster. Sunshine and her colleagues explore Bryce Beach for suspects, clues, and the stolen riches with the assistance of children’s librarian Molly Simmons and cataloguer Evangeline Dupree. Can Sarah and her team reclaim the funds raised at the library’s annual fundraising gala, as well as Bryce Beach’s most valuable historical item, the Bible with the signatures of the town’s founding fathers?

This was another new author for me. The story was interesting. It has several things that I enjoy, vampires and wolves mixed with mythology. Livvie is a “wolf-less” daughter to a pack alpha and never felt truly at home there and then there is Darius, the son of Ra—The Egyptian Sun God and an ancient vampire. Their chemistry is undeniable between the two and you can’t help but root for them as a couple. If you like mythology with a touch of supernatural this book is for you.

The more I read in this series, the more in love with Ms. Mari’s writing style I become. The way she describes instantly falling in love makes it seem so natural (if only it were so.) I am now certain I am going to have to go back and pick up books 1 and 2 that I missed.

Lots of twists, turns, mystery, laughing, crying and always wondering what was next. I especially enjoyed the viewpoint of German citizens during the war and it’s immediate aftermath.

Blue Summer Part One by Everly Taylor is a story full of paranormal and romance. There is so much romance and drama that is ready to be unfolded. The paranormal is a nice bonus in this love story.

They spoke about Zayed, the blue-skinned man. They warned us that we should be afraid of them. Fear, on the other hand, was formed of ignorance, and I recognized how wrong they were all. I had no idea that my first meeting with The Zayed would forever affect not just my perspective, but also my life. Kidnapped for what the sorcerer felt she could provide him, only to be rescued and given exactly what he was looking for. Now she had to figure out her part in all of this in order to save not just herself, but the whole Zayed Community as well.

AntipodesAntipodes by T.S. Simons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Antipodes by T.S. Simons is an amazing book with romance. It has a thriller and even a form of dystopian. Many different kind of people can enjoy this book

Antipodes is a one-of-a-kind piece of fiction set in post-apocalyptic Australia today. Antipodes focuses on the qualities contemporary society lacks sustainability, inclusivity, community, and friendship and is aimed at young adults who are disillusioned with our world and worried for our planet’s ecological destiny. Cam Mackintosh is in his last year of a science degree at Melbourne University when he is offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help construct a fully sustainable society on an island off the coast of Australia after a devastating epidemic. The community is given a blank slate, a brand-new eco-village, shielded from the outer world yet equipped with much of today’s knowledge and technology. August Island’s community thrives and is built on current principles such as gender equality and cultural acceptance.

I loved every page of it. Every chapter was thrilling. I can’t wait to read more books from this author. Readers who appreciate Margaret Atwood’s environmental fiction, such as Oryx and Crake, or work by Piers Torday, Frank Cottrell Boyce, and Sarah Crossan’s Breathe, will love this book.

Cursed Whispers (Broderick Coven Book 3) by AJ Renee
4 Stars!!!!

Another trip into the Broderick coven and I again was hooked from page one. I really like how the author is able to draw in the reader and keep you interested. I can feel all the emotions as though I was right there in the midst of the action. I also like how well balanced the book is with romance and drama.

The chemistry between Max and Claudia is just amazing. I really like how this book is really outlining how both are really finding themselves. Max cause magic is new to him and Claudia cause of the bad experiences she has had all her life. I really like how the author is able to keep the paranormal realistic with each person really personified and down to earth. I like how all the stories really do relate to the last and how it is left open to continue the series. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series.
