Ride with the Moonlight (Thunder on the Moor Book 2) by Andrea Matthews – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Ride with he Moonlight (Thunder On The Moor, #2)Ride with he Moonlight by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this time travel story that is full of action and even some romance. This is the second book in this series that can be read as a stand alone. This is a well written story that brings page turning adventure. The characters are connectable and engaging. They bring the story to life and fun to read. Will and Maggie go through alot in this book. They are really great characters that I found myself fighting for. I won’t say too much about them as I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens to them. One is sentenced to hang and the other is sent home. Will one get saved so they can reunite or will fate have something else in mind?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this young adult story. This is a new author for me, I look forward to reading more from them in the future. This is a mystery story that is shorter and fun to read. The characters are a group of eighth graders who raised some money for a charity but the story changes when the money is stolen. As a group they try to find out who is behind it, will they solve their mystery? They made the story entertaining and even a few laughs. This would make a great story for any young adults who like mysteries. I truly enjoyed this book and I would highly recommend it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Happily, ever after is a collection of stories written by different styles of authors and I love reading these types of collections because this is were, I find new authors and interesting characters. The books are easy to read and I can get through a couple in a coffee or lunch break. I defy anyone who does not either find a new author or a great story within this collection. I had a few favourites within the collection but my favourite was Don’t Worry, I still hate you by Marie Skye so I decided to review this book: –

Don’t Worry, I still hate you – Marie Skye
What happen in Vegas stays in Vegas they say, well I can tell you that is bull because who’s the last person you want to see to become your roommate. Yep, you guessed it the mistake from Vegas.
This is a fun, full of chemistry story which will have you routing for the main characters although at times its rocky and you’re not sure where they will end up. The story is a quick read and for the length well-constructed and you don’t feel cheated with this being a novella. I have read a few of Marie’s books and they always deliver and this one does not disappoint.

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her. One of the things I enjoy most about this author is her attention to details and her ability to pull me into the story from the beginning. This book is no different. It brings the romance and action into one well rounded story. The characters bring the story to life with each page. The twists and turns left me turning pages fast just to see what will happen next. This is a story about two people who have lives that are not going as well as they expected until a once chance meeting in a coffee shop. The attraction is there right from the start and they have great chemistry. As danger merges and the past comes to the present, the action really picks up. This is really a great story that I read in one afternoon. I highly recommend this book and this author.

At Once: Adams Brothers: Book 2 by Mindy McKinley. Gabi and Mason stole a piece of my heart and I’ll likely never forget them especially since I’ll be adding this one to my read again list.

The storyline has a nice easy flow and it’s well written. I was definitely hooked from start to finish, reading it in one sitting because I simply couldn’t put it down.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Murder at Lolly Beach is the second book in the Eve Sawyer mystery series. Even though this is book two, you can read this as a stand-alone book but you will also want to read the first book as well. The plotline held my attention. There are some twists and turns which caused me to be at the edge of my seat during parts of the book. I thought I knew what was happening and then BAM I was blown away. I was not going to put this book until the very last word. Eve is a college journalism student. She can find a good story almost anywhere she looks. She was looking for some relaxation at the beach. She found some new friends, but she finds a story that needs her attention. I highly recommend this book. You will not be disappointed when you start reading this book. I can only hope that Jane Suen will keep this story going.

Crave, book 1 in the Clark Family series by Evelyn Sola was FULL of FAMILY DRAMA! Sandra and Jacob had so many obstacles in their relationship that I could see this story playing out in a Soap Opera. But you couldn’t help but love the bantering and how their love was addicting. I couldn’t put this book down because you never knew what was going to happen next or what hilarious thing was going to be said next. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series just to see how much more drama could pop up. Great first read by this author!

Without a doubt, my favorite part of Havall 16 is A.J. Ullman’s writing. His characters, storyline and unique style really draw you in. Reading his work felt so fluid I sometimes felt like I was tuning in to one of my favorite T.V. shows instead of picking up a book. The dystopian sci-fi and social commentary of Havall 16’s themes were also an added bonus.

Having read ‘Murder Creek’ the first book in the ‘Eve Sawyer mystery series’ and thoroughly enjoyed it I was looking forward to this second novel and I was not disappointed. I liked being back with our heroine, Eve Sawyer a journalist student as I fell in love with this likeable and relatable character in book one. In this story Eve is on a summer vacation but instead of a fun time she has a mystery to solve. Eve’s best friend Cassie’s boyfriend chef Blake Conway is attacked at his crêpe food truck and then Cassie’s beach house is broken into. Blake had been stirring up the locals with his plastics ban campaign. ‘Beach Beat’ reporter Jake Thorne takes Eve on as an intern and agrees to mentor her as they try to discover who’s behind these crimes. As Eve and Jake investigate they uncover many suspects and learn some dark secrets, and meanwhile a killer is still at large in the small town. I was hooked from page one and was kept guessing until the very end due to all the plot twists and turns in this cozy mystery. This novel is an engaging and enjoyable read and I’m looking forward to more Eve Sawyer mysteries.

An enjoyable and engaging read which although part of a series can be read as a standalone story.
Carly Lawson works during the winters as a ski patrol and the summers as a rafting guide. She loves her job and has a new relationship each winter that ends in the spring. Carly also has a secret that she has been keeping for some time. Meanwhile, Chris Markham a downhill ski racer had hopes of making the Olympic team but then he had an accident that left him a paraplegic. However, he is determined to now make it to the Paralympics. When Carly and Chris meet on the slopes at ‘Big Sky Ski Resort’ in Montana they both feel the chemistry between them but are both unsure of starting a relationship. The author took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this heartwarming story, and once I had picked this book up I could not put it down. The narrative flows well and the plot has plenty going on to keep the readers interest.

While I didn’t connect much with the Davenports, the two guys seemed fun and I liked their camaraderie.

The beginning of this book starts out with a BANG! It literally gave me chills! I loved reading this! Reading about a ski patrol job is as interesting as it probably is exhausting. I enjoyed all the little details and joy that came with Carly’s job.

I was excited to get Carly’s story. And Chris? He is a total surprise and shock. I enjoyed his tenacity and strength. He was a winner in my book already even before getting together with Carly.

It is nice to see her brothers, wives and kids. Catching up is alway fun with them. I want to give a shout out to Taylor. He is a friend of Chris’ but he goes above and beyond his duties. He is the Best kind of friend there is.

Overall this is a wonderful story. I don’t feel Carly’s issue was as big as her brothers stories. But still a problem for her. Chris really stole the show for me.

Havall 16 by A. J. Ullman – Review by Hayley Thrumble

Havall 16Havall 16 by A.J. Ullman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book far exceeded my expectations. I don’t usually read this genre as I’ve found in the past I haven’t been as invested in the plot as other genres I really enjoy, but this one may have just converted my interests. Right from reading the synopsis I was hooked with the idea of this dystopian future where the world had been divided and chaos caused. The plot was both intriguing and exciting and I knew I had to continue reading. The characters are well explored and I feel we really get a sense of who everyone in Tommy’s life is and how they matter in the story. I particularly enjoyed Havall 16’s character, she reminded me a lot of Katniss (Hunger Games) and Tris (Divergent Series) and I loved that as I really enjoyed both of those characters in their respective books. Havall 16 was cool, courageous and captivating throughout the entire story and I feel her and Tommy worked really well together which made their story an absolute joy to read.

There were several moments which I was not expecting, certain people who I weren’t expecting certain things from and was shocked to read. This made for a “can’t put it down” reading experience. Ullman’s writing style was very easy to read and flowed nicely. There is enough description in the writing that you can paint a detailed image in your head, but not too much that it becomes convoluted; which I really enjoyed. The whole book is riddled with “on the edge of your seat moments” and really kept my interest from start to finish.

There are a couple of twists towards the end of this book which I LOVED and definitely did not see coming. No spoilers, you’ll have to work those out on your own. But they were very well thought out and if anything I would have like to know slightly more about them.
I would like the details of Tara and the queries surrounding her to be explored more, there was mention of her not being trustworthy but this was in passing and was not explored again after this and it became unclear as to why Havall 16 might feel that way. I would also have liked to know more about the future world that Havall 16 describes but this is the only criticism I have of this book.

This was a credit to its genre and I cannot wait to read more like this and more by A.J Ullman. Very well done.

Crave (Clark Family Series Book 1)Crave by Evelyn Sola
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Crave is a fantastic contemporary romance by Evelyn Sola and is the first book in the Clark Family series. I had never previously read any of this author’s work so was unsure what to expect. What I can say now is that I would definitely read more of their work as I absolutely loved this book.
I absolutely adored both of the main characters Jacob (Jake) and Sandra (Sandy, Dee, DeeDee…Lol). This is very much an opposites attract story. Jake comes from a very wealthy family, whereas Sandy comes from a ‘normal’ hardworking, everyday family.
I loved that this was an interracial romance and that all of those in Jake’s family did not bat an eyelid about the fact that he was having a relationship with a black woman. She was welcomed into his family with open arms. I also loved how sensitive Jake was to Sandy’s worries about the big difference in wealth and their racial difference. He was sweet and understanding with her and did everything possible to allay her fears.
The whole family dynamic makes this a fantastic read. The Clark family may have all the money in the world but it’s not a harmonious family. The storyline around the family dynamic (I don’t want to give spoilers) make this a gripping and enthralling read. It’s most definitely a ‘page-turner’.
I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend this book to others. I LOVED it!
