One Quarter Villain By: Cori Cooper Review by: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
One Quarter Villain by Cori Cooper Is a wonderful and magical fairytale romp for all ages to enjoy! This book was so fun and quirky. I really enjoyed reading it and will be looking for more books by Ms. Cooper in the future! Maddy was such a believable and relatable character, who is struggling with who she is and who she wants to be. I just love how Cooper tackled, both lighthearted and intense themes in this fantastical story!

“Not So Little Things” by Kyle Ann Robertson is a captivating audiobook that delves into the complexities of family dynamics and the power of communication. The story follows Tina Edwards, a 33-year-old miniature room artist, who is still haunted by the memory of her father’s sudden death and her mother’s abandonment.
The author’s writing is engaging and well-paced, with a strong focus on character development and emotional depth. The narrator’s performance is also excellent, bringing the characters to life with her clear and expressive voice.
One of the standout aspects of this audiobook is its exploration of the impact of miscommunications and misperceptions on family relationships. The story shows how these misunderstandings can lead to unwarranted pain and separation, and how confronting them can lead to healing and closure.
The audiobook is also full of vivid descriptions of the Victorian mansion and its intricate details, which will transport listeners to a different time and place.

I absolutely love the Oscar and Emmy series. Sabol does such a great job of teaching pet responsibility in such a way that children, and adults alike, forget they are learning. This time Oscar and Emmy have to weather a hurricane and all of the scary things that come with that. Abby and Charlie quickly learn what it takes to not only keep themselves safe during severe weather but also their pets. Sabol does such a great job informing her readers with fantastic information from reliable sources. Reviewed by @meggs1717

With witty dialogue, quirky characters, and a love story that smolders, “Toasted” earns a well-deserved five stars.

An enjoyable and engaging cozy mystery with a real Agatha Christie feel to it which kept me hooked throughout. Professor Lexie Driscoll is looking forward to hosting the first meeting of the ‘Golden Age of Mystery Bookclub’ in a swanky mansion belonging to her best friend, and sharing her love of Agatha Christie. Proceedings take a sinister turn when a friend is murdered and as more members of the new book club are killed, Lexie must use all the knowledge she has learnt from reading Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot solving mysteries into action. As she discovers many secrets she starts to believe she is in Christie’s novel, “And Then There Were None,” Lexie must reveal the killer and save her club. I thoroughly enjoyed this murder mystery and liked amateur sleuth Lexie as the main character and thought all the quirky characters added to the story. The intriguing storyline featuring a bookclub for lovers of the ‘Golden Age of Mystery’ had me happily turning the pages. Whilst the plot twists and red herrings kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. I look forward to returning to the bookclub in book two soon and wish I could join the bookclub in ‘real life’!

This is an action-packed book full of twists and turns you never see coming…and just when you think you’ve got it figured out…you don’t. This is the fifth book in the WaterFyre Rising series but it was the first one I read and while there were some plot holes (for me because I jumped in way late) I’m going to go back a read the others so that I can fill myself in. I loved the way Han developed her characters and drove her storyline. She grabs you and pulls you in before you even know what hits you. Her characters are just so so deep and you get so attached to them. I really enjoyed this read and I can’t wait to go catch myself up on everything I’ve missed. I really recommend this book (and if the series is anything like it, I’m going to recommend the series as well). Happy Reading! Reviewed by @meggs1717

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I never hesitate to pick up one of her books. Her books are engaging coupled with her writing skills that make her characters come to life. Her attention to details give her stories a realistic feel. This book is no different and it is one of my favorites by her. This is a well written story about what happens when you stand up to the Prez of the MC but have their own demons. The Prez is dealing with his own battles but what will he do with her? I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into the story from the start. They kept the story engaging and hard to put down. They are relatable and make the story easy to read. I enjoyed what they added to the story for sure. This is a fast paced story and one you don’t want to miss. This is a must read story for sure. I highly recommend this book and look forward to seeing what is next.

I know we’ve all heard “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” but let’s be honest, the cover is the first thing that draws you in; and I feel that this one is lacking and might have pushed some people away.
I wasn’t expecting the book to be what it was, honestly, which I enjoyed. I know the blurb says not zombies, but I was expecting something similar at least. I think it’s cool and different how the author twisted this “breakout.” I liked the characters, I think Sally could use some work, I hope she has had some character growth in book two. I found Ned to be hilarious, he’s just your average, friendly, hillbilly but I like that he’s one of the main characters and that he’s going to be helping to end this thing. There’s humor, non-trusting government, a mysterious breakout, and an ending that leaves you wanting to read book two. This is such an entertaining and quick read that I believe sci-fi, dystopian, and maybe a little fantasy (magical realism) readers will enjoy.

This was a really interesting read. I love historical stories and this authors attention to detail really brought this time and the Revolutionary war alive for me. I love the lead character of Lilly. She is a young woman but she has had to deal with so much loss in her life. I love how determined she is and how she doesn’t let anything stop her from achieving the goals she sets out to achieve. After losing her parents and her brother Lilly is determined to join the rebels and fight against the people who murdered her family. The problem is she is a woman and at the time women weren’t seeing as beings who can fight. However Lilly is determined to prove them wrong, this is her journey as she overcomes obstacles, finds love, recovers from losses and fights to alongside men to win the war. This is a very real story and is really eye-opening. The characters are written in a way that makes them feel real and you can actually imagine being there with them, fighting alongside them and facing all the odds and obscales against them. This was one book that I couldn’t stop reading until the end.

Good grief talk about a tall drink of water ! Have you drooled all over this cover ?!🔥
Arrow is an ex navy seal now winemaker and between me and you I’m sure we could mulch the grapes into nectar on his abs 🤣🙈🔥 but there’s a darker side to this delectable man , a dude that hides hurt and scars , a side that he’s hidden in a vault and I almost thought he’d never crack that is until a beautiful woman crosses his path , he’s sees the hurt and scars in her and all he wants to do is “ heal” and protect her ( cue deep sigh)
Vivian isn’t just beautiful but she’s smart as well and she’ll keep your pearly whites shiny ( she’s a dentist) she’s not easily swayed by Arrow’s attempts but I must give it to him he’s a determined man and goes after what he wants 🤭😉
Don’t let Vivian fool you she’s also on the hunt for a bad and brutal individual which places her in a very dangerous position but do not fret Arrow is close by and he’s all protector 🔥
This just ticked all my boxes , there was spice , tension , fear , swoon moments and times where I just wanted to push her aside and say “ I’ll have you Arrow” 🥰🤣

This is the first book I’ve read by Marilyn Levinson. I enjoyed the Mystery Bookclub theme (though the questions and flow of her bookclub puts any bookclub I’ve ever been in to shame! I took notes!) and especially loved the entire theme of using Agatha Christie’s mysteries as the basis and flow for the book. The back stories of the characters was fun as well, and I expect as there are more Golden Age of Mystery Bookclub books we’ll continue to learn even more about the characters and their stories. This was a pretty quick and easy read, Levinson kept the story moving along and created a number of “whodunit” scenarios. Definitely a fun read!

The second book by this author is as wonderfully written as the first. This one picks up with Jack and Mariella starting out their life together. It’s a story of love, bravery, heartbreak, hope and courage. I would recommend this book to others that enjoy the time period and who likes a love story.

With each book I read by this author I am more and more in awe of the talent she has in creating captivating storylines and relatable heartfelt characters. While some of this books topics can be difficult ones to present, this amazing author does it in such a way that it is so heart warming even while it is breaking your heart. this is a book not to be missed.

Would recommend this book to others that enjoy this period in history.

Wonderful book! I loved everything about this book. There is so much to learn and many weird and fun facts. I like that on each animal the author tells what a group of that particular animal is, like who knew a group of giraffes is called a tower? So fun! Kids are already interested in animals and this book is great for them to learn about some of their favorites. I really appreciate all the work that went into all the research and facts on each animal in this book.

Oh, this was a fun read. Lexie is caught in the middle of Book Club drama. A dear family friend passes due to homicide and she ends up getting in the middle of it trying to find the killer. The writing in so engaging. I couldn’t put it down. The drama is kind of like watching a train wreck. You can’t look away. I’ve never read Agatha Christie so those references went over my head. I found all the characters quite easy to relate too. Such a unique town full of personality. A few twists and turns kept me guessing as to who the culprit might be. The author even tossed a couple love interests in there for Lexie. Sweet, this is a must read. Excellent cozy.

What a wonderful way to teach kids about pets and preparing for disasters. I loved the pet disaster kit. It’s a terrific story that’s informative and very caring. I’ve enjoyed the Oscar and Emmy series. The pictures are bright and catch the child’s attention. This is a must for any cat families.

Can I Keep Her? is the 2nd book in the Kingdom of Mir series, where young Winnie earned her right to be an advisor to the King. Once again, she encounters a situation involving a special egg and finds a solution by applying her thoughtfulness and empathy. This lovely story has a great message that would appeal to 5-8 year olds. It is easy to read to children and have them follow along with the delightful illustrations.

(Kingdom of Mir Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Lucinda Morton-Phillips
This book has some great characters and plot line, but I found the pace to be a little slow. There were times I struggled to keep up with what was going on because of all the little details that were being thrown in. They were good details, but I did expect this novel to have some serious action and fast pace to it.
However, overall I enjoyed this book and the characters that the author made relatable. I do hope to see more action out of the next novel, but I also cannot wait to continue the storyline where Lea and Gabriel left off with Maddie.

This author writes beautifully broken people with heart. You think this book is about Gavin and his tortured trip into his memories and dealing with his PTSD but you would be wrong. Not that Gavin isn’t a huge part of the story but this book is about Katie and her undimming spirit.
Katie is so strong throughout the entire book. She is able to reach Maggie when she needs it. She continues to try with Gavin. She gathers a community around her that provides support and can help her heal while being that for everyone else.
Be prepared for your feelings to get all into this book. There will be happiness, anger, frustration, sadness, curiosity, grief and hope. It is okay to feel all of that and more. Just know going in that it is worth the emotional rollercoaster.

Perfectly Framed is the second book in the Mobile Cat Groomer Mystery series by Ruth J. Hartman. As expected, this is an intriguing cozy mystery with a bit of a whodunnit feel. Ms. Hartman’s signature wit and humourous touches, along with the intriguing mystery, make this a very enjoyable read. Even though this is the second book in the series, it could be read as a standalone, if you wanted- without feeling like you are ‘missing’ anything. Having said that though, I recommend reading the first book as it is a fun story in its own right…. Molly, the mobile cat groomer once again finds herself thrust into a murder investigation when she has photos taken of furry friends- and the pictures reveal more than expected. But someone certainly doesn’t want Molly, or anyone else, looking too closely- and so lets it be known that to do so will come with great risk. What happens makes for a bit of a suspenseful tale. Another great instalment in this fun cozy mystery series. Looking forward to the next book. Happy Reading…

Hartman – Review by Angela Hayes
As President of the Arizona charter of the Wretched Soulz MC, I spend my days keeping money in our coffers, our enemies at bay, and my brothers out of jail. With a reputation to uphold I can’t show any weakness. Men who cross me do so at their peril and won’t live to tell the tale.
But what do I do when it’s a woman who steals from my MC? A crime that would put anyone else underground.
Treat her just like a man. But she’s not a man.
I’m the Prez, I’m in charge. Men jump to my commands. But not Helo. She stands up to me, challenges me, hell, even gets the better of me when we fight hand to hand.
Despite my best intentions, she intrigues me.
I’m relieved when I find she isn’t invincible, that she has her own demons. But I’ve enough battles on my own hands, do I want to take on hers too? But what would I do with a woman who fights me, verbally and physically, at every turn?
By using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected.
Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter.

Brushed Up On Murder is the first book in the Mobile Cat Groomer Mystery series by Ruth J. Hartman. I always enjoy Ms. Hartman’s stories, and this one was no exception. The start of a new series based around a mobile cat groomer, Molly, who in this adventure, becomes a bit of an amateur detective when she discovers a body on one of her house calls- and her Uncle becomes the prime suspect. Add in some cute and funny furry companions, witty banter, humor, interesting quirky characters, murder, crime + investigation, drama, danger, and intrigue—- and the result is an entirely entertaining cozy mystery. Now on to Book #2! Happy Reading…

She was inspired by the joy and wonder that children experienced when reading and listening to stories, and it was this love for inspiring young minds that led her to create her own series of children’s books.
Terri’s debut book, “Oscar and Emmy Get Rescued”, was published in 2016, and told the heartwarming story of how she came to adopt her two kittens from the animal shelter where she volunteered. The book was an instant hit with children and parents alike, and it quickly became clear that there was a demand for more stories featuring Oscar and Emmy and to help educate children on the importance being involved in pet care.
Over the years, Terri has continued to write new books in the series, each one capturing the unique personalities and quirks of her two adventurous cats. Her books not only entertain children, but also promote the values of compassion and kindness towards animals, as well as the importance of rescue and adoption.
In addition to her Oscar and Emmy series, Terri has also written several other books showing off her writing skills, including “Green With Envy” and “Kneading a Winning Idea”.
When she’s not writing, Terri can be found spending time with her two rescue kitties, Oscar and Emmy. She also loves travelling and exploring new places and visiting old favorites, all the while taking inspiration for her next book. Through her stories, Terri hopes to inspire children to explore the world around them, to embrace their imaginations, to never give up on their goals, and to always be kind and compassionate towards others, especially animals.

This novel has an unusual plot line. Evil sushi that causes unintended consequences. Creative storytelling captures the readers attention right from the beginning. I couldn’t put the book down. The story has me hooked from the first chapter and I had to know how it ended. This is a gripping paranormal suspense novel that’s an entertaining read.
It’s always hard to try and get over a heartbreak but sometimes it opens your eyes so you can see what is right in front of you. Jorden and Cane are such a cute pair. If you have a couple of hours grab this book!
