This was a phenomenal read! I adore this author and think I’ve given 5 stars to all of her books but this one was just amazing. I was hooked from beginning to end and I actually cannot wait to re-read it again and that is something I rarely do! I just loved Dereck and Layla, their story was just so exciting to read so many twists and turns I literally couldn’t put it down, I needed to find out what was going to happen next on the turn of almost every page. They had such a great chemistry too, that definitely made for good reading! I can’t wait to read more from this author again! I love her book so much!

New town, New life, New kid at high school the joy, the sarcasm, Now there’s a jerk who won’t stop staring.
Fuck my life my Mate is the new girl. Pack problems and with my father is the Alpha. I don’t need this right now.
Drama does not begin to explain the mess this group of people enter in the first chapter of this book and you can’t put this don’t. Werewolves, Mates and High School oh my!
Taboo Or Not Taboo, that is the question You know when you read something that’s not supposed to turn you on (in conventional society) but it turns you on…. wel that’s how I felt with this book!!! And I absolutely LOVED it.
At first you think why would her uncle ever make her do this just to receive her inheritance BUT THEN….. Master Max makes his first appearance and all that thinking flies out the window and all you do is FEEL!!
It was also strange to me that the book was narrated by n man (usually when the writing is more from a female perspective you get a female narrator) even more strange IT WORKED. I can’t imagine listening to a different narrator doing this book. Antonio did a superb job. I highly recommend this book, especially if you’re looking for a fast paced, hot and steamy book

This is a fictional story about Lani who just wanted some recognition and to paint. Like all artist Lani is no stranger to hard times and hard choices. then she get’s notice that her estranged uncle has passed and named her in the Will. With a reminder from the landlord of pay or get out Lani goes on an adventure to claim her Inheritance but what she doesn’t know is it could claim her. Was a fantastic listen but bewared there are adult scenes graphic enough that at minim you will want head phones.

This book combines fantasy with history and does it well to boot. I love Viking stories and when I saw this title I knew I had to read it. This book takes the best of characters; monks, slave drivers, elves, trolls. Witches, and a dragon. Jay Veloso Batista has an amazing imagination and writing skill that held my attention throughout the book. There is a battle to end all battles, enslavement of the losing army. The characters are fully developed and keep the story moving. There is a need to pay attention to the “bread crumbs” that the author gives throughout the twists and turns of the characters. The characters are unique and keep the story moving. I highly recommend this book to the lover of Vikings, magical beings, and historical fiction.

Revelations was written really well. I felt bad for Madison and the back and forth she had with Jacob. I connected with everyone except Jacob. He reminds me of the high school jocks I dealt with in high school. I hope he gets his head on straight and fesses up to his mistakes. The different points of view got a little confusing to follow at first, but once I got the hang of it I was able to follow who was “speaking” that cliffhanger got me real good and I can’t wait to read the next book! I seriously couldn’t put this book down!
Tapestry of Worlds, Part Two: Running and Gunning by Hadley Thorne was a very intriguing book. Even though I haven’t read Part One: The White Raven Awakens, there was still enough backstory cleverly woven through this book that it could be read as a stand alone. I will still go and check out Part One before moving onto Part Three though. The world is amazing and the mix of paranormal, current times and mythology had me enthralled. The writing was well executed and the characters were relatable. Not a cliffhanger but a nice set up for Part Three.

8 only would recommend this series for those of 18 + because of the content and triggers. Book 1 – Was a fabulous start to this series. We are introduced to Lexi’s life as whole and realising what she has came through is so heart touching. Watching her fall in love with Lucca was beautiful. Lexi has an extremely troubled past which you get an insight into and Lucca is there the Italian stallion with a heart of gold trying to bring her into the light. The story grips you and you wish to read more and make sure that Lucca excels at his duties and main aim.
Book 2 We are counting with were our story left off. Lexi’s past has come to Haunt her.
Book 3 This time we are reading through a diffrent POV.
However the series to me was a tad slow and development of characters could of been done at a faster pace.
And….he’s back! Detective Petrosky is on his next deadly mission. Savage is Book 10 in the Ash Park Novel series by Meghan O’Flynn. Detective Edward Petrosky is in search of a lethal killer when they find the newborn baby of his regular server at the diner he normally goes to. This time he needs to dig deep and far to figure out this one! Everything in his life is starting to fall in line and everything is good when he figures out that all signs turn the same murderer that killed his partner many years ago. I swear, this series just keeps getting better and better! I love all of the twists and turns that are intertwined with story. You start at page one and you seriously cannot put it down. I get so involved with the storyline that I suddenly immerse myself in it and the next thing you know, I’m working right along with them to solve this case! I seriously cannot say enough about this book or this series. In my opinion, you should read this series from the beginning because you may get lost in the timeline. But, you can read this book on its own. You won’t be disappointed! Trust me!

Do you ever know what you are getting into when you love someone? Nothing in West Lakes is as it appears to be. Emily soon learns this after moving to the small town. She definitely did not expect Zach or the secrets that reveal themselves. This is a great start to the series and I cannot wait for book 2. This is a great page turner so careful reading when you have to be up the next day!

Key West Dead is the most recent, 6th book in the Jake Wolfe series by Mark Nolan. This book, like those before it, are packed full of adventure. Jake and his dog Cody are always getting in the middle of trouble, and this is no exception. The book starts off with Jake attending a wedding of his close friend in Key West, Fl. Before the end of the first couple chapters, a boat explodes, friends are dead, and there is a serial bomber/terrorist making threats of more to come. Insert Jake, his dog Cody, and their best friend, cop, Terrell. The book is filled with suspense, keeping you on the edge of your seat. I didn’t want to put it down from start to finish, and love seeing the relationship of Jake and Sarah evolve. There is bound to be more books coming, because I don’t think Nolan would end the series before their marriage. So I look forward for the next in the series. Keep ’em coming!

Vikings and dragons aren’t so new in my world thanks to my son, who is fully into dragon books like How to train a dragon series. I have read all the books with him and enjoyed them very much. I have also watched Thor and read a little bit on Norse Mythology, so I was aware of the nine realms. So, I wasn’t a complete novice when I started the book. But still I did wish I had read the first two books before I read the third one, which I am going to do now. Nevertheless, after few initial hiccups, it was still a terrific read. Dive deep into the world of elves, ghosts, trolls, shape-shifters and a Dragon. There is a lot going on in the book, battles, sea voyages, marriages and politics. It also touches upon the topic of slave trade in great depth. The imagination is mind blowing and the action and adventure is quite gripping. I loved every bit of this book, am looking forward to read the prequel.

More of a coming of age story with a paranormal twist and some mystery. Would rate as upper YA/New Adult as there is sex talk and some sexy scenes.
I found the new (to me) take on the werewolf pack, where it’s only males born into the pack and females are brought in via being a mate, very interesting. I also liked reading about the core group’s (Zach, Danny, Alex, Madison and Emily) dynamics and how it changed throughout the school year, with them each discovering more about themselves and each other. There’s hints of “friends to lovers,” “enemies to lovers,” and “Mate” romance. Something for every paranormal romance fan to enjoy.
I wished we got more of the “mystery” aspect in book 1, but it’ll keep me hanging on for book 2!

I enjoyed this novel by Izzibella Beau. I really enjoy books about vampires and werewolves, and to my delight this book featured both. The story of Zach, Emily, and their gang of friends is full of fun and some adventure. Izzibella Beau has created a vibrant world with strong characters. The story kept my interest and left me looking forward to continuing the journey. I want to see if Zach, Emily, and their friends can triumph and find their happy ever after.
Key Wast Dead (Jake Wolfe Book 6) by Mark Nolan is great! It’s been a while since I’ve read a thrilling crime novel and this one hit the spot. Although I haven’t read the other books in the series, I was able to figure out the main characters pretty quickly. I love that Jake and Cody work together to solve crimes. In this book, they are searching for a bomber who is terrorizing Key West by blowing up yachts, threatening some of Jake’ military buddies, and demanding money from the county. Following Jake and Cody work to find the bomber was thrilling. I can’t wait to pick up the earlier books and read more about the Jake & Cody combo.

This is a book you can get lost in. At first, the premise feels a little uncomfortable, but the more you listen, the more you want to hear. “The Inheritance” had me feeling good things and bad for both Lani and Max. This book is a must read if you like unconventional relationships, mysterious guessing games, and scenes that will make you wonder if anybody else can hear the book you’re listening too!

I am always excited to get my hands on a new Life Is Hell novel from Naomi Valkyrie. It is a one-click, no questions asked, kind of thing and I never regret it. Sure As Hell did not deviate from this and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time I read. I started this one early in the evening hoping to get enough and to bed at a decent time… lol not sorry, but that did not happen. I had to see how my new favorite characters would end up! I wish Juniper Lake was kind of a real place. I can imagine how much fun it would be to visit and see that not all things with a hint of dark are bad at their cores. This is a series you do not want to miss if you love the dark arts, magic, fae, warlocks and more. I cannot wait to see what the next book will hold!

Seductive Prey: The Relentless Trilogy by Vivian Fiano has suspense and romance. It has everything you can ask for.
Officer Grant Summers, a Boston policeman, grew up as the child of a heroin addict mother and has vowed to pay it forward. Jordan Smith joins the Army National Guard to help pay tuition, with the aim of one day opening her own dance school. When a crime is committed at her place of business, Grant Officer Summers leaps at the opportunity to pursue Jordan and start a relationship. Their chemistry is undeniable, but as their relationship develops, they become aware that they are both being watched. As Grant races to save Jordan from the man who has made her his seductive prey, the threats are piling up and the clock is ticking.
I loved every page of it. The fact that it ended on a cliffhanger can’t wait to read the second book. I absolutely loved the characters and the story.
4 out of 5 stars. Revelations (Separate Worlds Book 1) by Izzibella Beau is a fantastic YA paranormal novel. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I couldn’t read it fast enough! Thank goodness it’s book 1 of a series. This book brings to life relatable characters and intertwines their tales beautifully into a saga that rivals Twilight. Yeah. I said it. Zach and Emily’s stories are compelling right from the start, and the twists and turns this tale takes makes this book a page turner, for sure. The town of West Lakes jumps off the page, and all the while, holds a haunting mystery about it. This is a great escape story, while still being relatable for young adults. I definitely recommend this book.

This is the first book in The Relentless Trilogy series. This is a Romantic Military Suspense novel and is 255 pages. This story is meant for 18+. This story follows Grant, a LEO in Boston, and Jordan who is in the Army National Guard. These two meet when there is a crime committed at Jordan’s job and Grant shows up. Que the lightening bolts! There is instant attraction and sparks fly but they are being watched. Multiple threats to Jordan lead Grant racing to find out who is behind this. I cannot say enough about this thrilling romantic read!
When I started this book I could not put it down. This author’s use of details makes this story pull you into the story from the beginning. Her plotline kept me turning the pages. I needed to know what was coming next. The characters were lively, engaging, and complexed. This book is about Zach and Emily. They come from two very different worlds and they need to be cautious about the people in their life. They need to look into the world with their eyes open and watch their backs. I highly recommend this book to see all the twists and turns that happen in the world for Zach and Emily.

I am not a fan of cliffhangers, and when a book ends on one, I predict the ending and am satisfied with my conclusion. In this case- the book worm in me refuses to be satisfied with any but Izzibella’s book 2. I enjoyed every bit of this novel. The plot was easy to follow, whimsical and I appreciated that Emily and Zach’s relationship was organic. Sometimes secondary characters may come off as annoying- but not this was not the case, I found that they added to the creative balance of the book. At one point I was rooting for Madison and Jacob- their chemistry is explosive. Izzibella does have a knack for producing an entertaining and engrossing novel- do not just take my word for it, read it for yourself I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

Revelations (Separate Worlds Book 1) by Izzibella Beau 4 Stars
This is the first book that I have read by this author. It was good. It captured my attention from the start. Emma and her Aunt mo Ed a lot and now end up in West Lakes for her new job. It means once again Emma is the new kid in school. Thankfully this is her senior year. She managed to quickly become friends with Zach and his group. Falling head over heels for him, she didn’t expect to have a boyfriend so soon. It feels like it was meant to be.
Zach quickly realizes that Emma is his fated mate. Is it just coincidence that Danny and Jacob found their mates as well? The vampires are closing in and Zach’s pack has to kill the one who murdered his mother. Secrets are unearthed that turn Emma and Zach’s life upside down.
The characters are likeable and the story is well written. The author keeps you guessing and has you wanting to know more. This is a good start to this series. I have to warn you though that it does end on a cliffhanger.

Zach and Emily are just two seniors in high school in West Lakes, Zach is part of a big family and is close to his siblings, but he has friends who are like family to him as well, but Emily is the new kid in town with only her Aunt who she lives with, but no friends because she moves around so much because of her Aunt’s work. As they both embark on a new school year, they are polar opposites from completely separate worlds, but when those worlds collide nothing will be the same.
As Zach prepares for his new school year, he has the usual single word conversation with his younger brother as he is woken up too early by him coming home too late, they are the complete opposite in personality, if not in looks, but they are still family despite annoying each other to death, whereas Emily is still unpacking from her move and takes a welcome break to go to the mall with her Aunt to get some new clothes for the start of the new school year, she wants to make a good impression as the new kid in town and is not overly sure that the nerves aren’t going to get the better of her in the end.
When the fateful first day arrives, Zach is happy to see his friends, but when he has to go to the administrators office to get his schedule instead of it being at the seniors table, he is more than annoyed with the delay, but when he enters, there is a girl in there before him, she intrigues him, but when she turns around he is lost and when she turns around she isn’t as stunned into silence as him. This girl is Emily as she collects her schedule as well after being dropped off at the school, she smiles at the hot guy standing in front of her, but politely excuses herself when he just stands there and stares at her rudely. As she is trying to find her way to her locker and first period, she is approached by a couple of girls as she is attempting to keep her head down and avoid the usual stares and comments as she walks by, especially from the other hot guys who were in the office before her and it turns out that the guy from earlier is in her first period and as the girls introduce themselves and him, he walks her to their class, but barely says two words to her.
Zach is completely distracted by Emily and has no idea why as he doesn’t normally react to girls like that and it makes him more and more annoyed as the day goes on, especially when Emily is invited to join their group at lunch and then to shopping, the football game and the dance afterwards that Friday. As the days pass, Zach gets a handle on his emotions and inner conflicts and gets to know Emily more, she is as happy with this turn of events as he is and they become closer as time goes on. Will this be the moment when Emily can finally stop moving around and will Zach finally find an attraction like he never has before, or is it all just teenage hormones and nothing more? This is a sweet romance with some adult themes, but it is a romance with a twist which keeps you wanting to know more about their different worlds and what will happen as time goes on between them.
Sure As Hell by Naomi Valkyrie is the fourth book in the fantastic Life is Hell series. This time the story focuses on Jaru and Larkspur. The great part of this series is the recurring characters and getting to see them each tell their own stories, but how they work into the stories of other characters. I recommend reading each of these in order, but I think this is written to be read also as a standalone. I really enjoyed the story of Jaru. It had me laughing and enjoying the story but also relating to the idea that when things go too well things tend to go to crap. How relatable! I love how the characters are developed and entwine around each other despite their differences. I always love picking up this series and look anxiously to the next book by this author.

On Viking Seas by Jay Veloso Batista is the third book in the Forerunner series. I had not read the other books in the series and plan on going back to them. This is a highly detailed and well-thought-out historical fantasy. It is set in a time of emerging Christianity but also where the Gods rule over the people. The characters are well developed and I enjoyed the interactions between them and how they move the story forward. I also enjoyed the different aspects which take place separately but all come together in ways. There is a lot to take in and this is why I plan to go back and grab the other books so I can better appreciate all the different storylines. This is a good story and I look forward to reading more from this author in the near future.

The Earl and the Peahen by Jean Wilde is the fifth book in the Scarlet Salon series. This is a brilliant historical romance that really caught my attention from the moment I read the description. This is a stand-alone book so does not have to be read in order to be enjoyed. Out of all the books I have read by this author I think this one is my favourite so far. I really just fell in love with the characters. They were interesting and had a clear connection from the start. The author did a great job with the writing in the book as well. It was evenly paced and the plot was developed exactly when it needed to be. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book and definitely worth your time.
