I enjoyed this young-adult, paranormal story. This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed from beginning to end. This is a fantasy story about Iris. She is a young girl that just wants to be accepted but outsiders are not necessarily viewed as good by the town. What will she do when she is presented with an opportunity by a stranger that she may not be able to resist? This is where the story really picks up and was hard to put down. What will happen with Iris and the town? Iris made such a great character. She is connectable, strong and really made the story for me. The story has a realistic feel and just pops. This is a great story that I highly recommend.

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders. This author has quickly become one of my top favorites. This story was just another fantastic addition to why. The characters have a chemistry that leaps off the pages. Their story is one you don’t want to miss. They pulled me so completely into their world I was happy to get lost with them for a while. This is a shorter read but I didn’t feel it was hindered because of it but I’ll always wish books are longer, that’s just the reader in me. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

The History of the Universe: As My Soul and I Remember by Stuart Ledwith. While this is completely outside my comfort zone I still enjoyed this book. It’s an interesting read that may have readers looking inward at themselves more. It’s a well written and thought provoking story. The author does a good job keeping readers interested. It’s a well paced book. The idea behind the book is original and as I said above thought provoking, so I’d definitely recommend giving it a read if you’re looking for something a bit different. Four stars and I’m glad I gave it a shot even though it’s not my normal reading.

I love reading this authors books, she captivates the reader from the very beginning and draws you in from the start, and this one is no different. This book is full of action, romance and suspense, it’s fast-paced and flows effortlessly. I absolutely loved these characters they connected me to the story and left me wanting more! I loved watching their connection develop and I couldn’t help but hope these characters get a HEA. This book really does give you all the feels, and what makes it even better is that it’s written in dual POV, I love a good read that written this way, it really connects you to the characters on a deeper level and gets a real understanding of them and what they are thinking and feeling. I loved this book and I can’t wait to read more from this author. I highly recommend this read.

Kismet Heart: A Protector Romance (A Surviving Love Novel Book 1) by Brinda Berry. Eeeekkk! Ok so now that I got that out let me tell you how much I loved this story. I’ve read this author before so from the get go I was sure I’d enjoy this story, but I absolutely loved it! The characters are complex and relatable, they pulled me so completely into their world I forgot I was reading words. The author has a way of making words come alive from the pages and play like a movie before your eyes. The characters were so easy to connect with and the storyline had me on the edge of my seat more than once. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. If I could give it more than five stars I totally would but just know I’m giving it the biggest five stars I can. Go add this incredible story to you reading list.

The Fire God Tour (Moore Family Saga Book 3) by Michele Sims – Review by Gail Guerrero
Five Stars
The Fire God Tour is a story about the music industry. You get an interesting look into a lot of different aspects of the business. I found the author’s writing style to be smooth. The characters were well written and the plot interesting. Another book to put on the must read again list. I found myself really interested in Ari and Bella’s story. They worked so well together. I also saw how he respected her and her work. I’ve always felt that life is too short for fear but without fear how do we know when it’s too much? A good amount of fear is healthy but Bella’s fear stopped her. The bond between them grows beautiful and I definitely recommend this story.

Shattered Snow (The Mirror Chronicles Book 1) by Rachel Huffmire. This was a great story. It’s a retelling of Snow White that we all know and love. In this version the character of Keltson aka “the mirror” uses his abilities to see people and their lives and decides to take it upon himself to help them. Joined by his friend Lilia, a Russian scrap mechanic, they try to reconstruct history. Its a very dangerous game! Margaretha is a young countess laid out to be poisoned at the young age of 21. Keltson and Lilia decides to take fate in their own hands and thinking they are helping the girl they have truly turned her world upside down and no one knows how things will turn out. This retelling is amazing and keeps you on your feet with the time travel and different characters. I didn’t have a hard time keeping up though it moved very smoothly. This is not my favorite genre but I have come to really enjoy it due to some authors talented spins and this is a prime example. Do yourself a favor and read Shattered Snow to find out for yourself!

I enjoyed this book. It is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from them in the future. This is a well thought out story that takes you on an adventure through a world of magic and paranormal. The characters are unique and well developed. They are connectable and made the story not only engaging but also easy to read. This is a story about Edmond. He seems to have it all, a new pending marriage, a promotion and in just a second he loses everything. What will happen when he is accused of treason you will have to read about. Now he is faced with making things right but will he have to give up his humanity? This is a longer story but Edmond keeps you wanting to see what will happen next. He made such a great character, I really enjoyed him. This was a great story that I highly recommend.

This is a great box set that has a collection of spooky and paranormal stories by nineteen awesome authors. There is something for everyone in this box set. Each story is unique and will keep you reading. One of my favorite stories is Karma’’s Karnival. This is a story that is dark and engaging. The author’s attention to detail made you feel as if you are right there with the characters. It made the history portions easy to read and entertaining. Ellie made such a great character, not only connectable, strong but lovable too. I loved each story and the suspense was just what I needed on a cold afternoon. I highly recommend this book.
This book is great Lynda has shown true passion in this memoir. It was hard to read at parts as I wanted to cry. Her journey comes off the pages to life as you read through visual aids real help incorporate yourself into her shoes. It shows how brave she has been and how changes have affected her on he life travels and adventures.

I honestly am not sure how to review this book as it is so unique and ‘different’ that it really is not like anything I have read before. It is hard to explain to a potential reader what the book is actually about. I will say however, that I enjoyed the book and find the author, Stuart Ledwith‘s writing style easy to read and to follow even though the content is complicated at times. I also found it an interesting and intriguing book and it’s a very engaging and inspiring read. It’s a book that makes you think whilst your reading it and it also stays with you long after you have finished it. The book is in basic terms about, the history of the universe and the purpose of the book “is to inform and enlighten humans about their place in the universe, their souls and their God”.The book is written by Ledwith but with the help of “the dynamic and powerful soul, Edouard”. It is through Edouard “sharing of personal lessons, thoughts, triumphs and failures while engaged in this earthly manifestation” that Ledwith has written this book. As the author says, “This book began long ago, long before I knew I was going to write it. It began as this universe spewed forth from the immense black hole expelling it”. I do recommend this book but understand that it may not be to everyone’s taste but I would suggest picking it up, giving it a try and reading it with an open mind.

Super Sorry by C.A. King is one of the best examples of a YA fantasy story that I have read in a long time. This book had everything you could want – excitement, hilarity, an amazing character – while also show casing exactly what it is to be someone of this age. You really need to make sure you have plenty of time when you start reading this book as I can guarantee that once you start it you will not want to put it down! For me Sarah is such an incredible character. She was so easy to connect with and relate to. But I also found her to be so entertaining as well. She drew me fully in to this story and even now I find myself thinking about! This book is just another example of why this author has quickly become one of my favourites. I would highly recommend you reading this book today!
This was my first book by C.A. King. I haven’t really been into supernatural books lately, but I’m so glad I took a chance on this one. Our main female is Clara Fawn. She’s your typical teenager, hates moving around as often as her parents need her to for their work. Hates going to new schools CONSTANTLY. Hates when her parents keep things from her and won’t let her do normal teenage things. This story had my attention right away and I cannot wait until the next one comes out.

Big City Heat is a collection of stories, some can be read as a stand alone, some can not. This collection is a great way to find new, amazing, and talented authors! I recommend you don´t just take my word for it, but dive into them yourself! I decided to start with ¨Make Me Beg¨ by Moni simply because the title caught my interest. I had no idea what an adventure i was in for! It is an intense, fast paced, and overall very well written story! I loved Teagan and Reid´s dynamic, and their connection throughout the story! I loved several authors from this Anthology, some new, some i´ve read content from before. I definitely recommend this collection, as well as the authors behind it!

A Beach Wedding To Die For is the second book in Judy Moore’s Cozy Mysteries To Die For series. It could be read as a stand-alone but does follow on from the events of the previous book. We catch up with Beck O’Rourke, who has started to get a bit of a reputation after solving a murder related to a book signing at her family shop. Beck is a bridesmaid at her friend Amelia’s third attempt at a wedding. With jilted ex-fiancés, bitter siblings and secrets being revealed, there’s plenty of drama. And, since it wouldn’t be much of a murder mystery otherwise, someone ends up on the wrong end of a cake knife. The standout characters for me are, naturally, Grammy and Coquina, Beck’s dog. Grammy’s liveliness (she OWNS the dance floor at the wedding!) often brought a smile to my face and Coquina is a great help as Beck tries to piece together what happened. If you’ve ever been exasperated by a wedding diva, this is the book for you! Or if, like me, you’re longing for the seaside on a cold autumn night. It’s a light, entertaining read that will get your brain working as you try to figure out whodunnit. For me, this is a five star book. I’m looking forward to reading more of the series!

Wendigo Forrest is a fantastic YA paranormal story by C.A. King. The story is everything I have come to expect from Ms. King- a well written, intriguing, and engaging tale- with wonderful world building, a little mysteriousness, some dramatic developments, and a bit of spookiness that kept things interesting. This is a very short story, which made for a very quick and easy read- I would like to have read a slightly longer version of this book and be able to immerse myself in the story with more detail, but still an enjoyable book. The characters are well developed individuals who are entirely realistic and believable. I enjoyed meeting Clara, a teenage Fawn, and following along as the story unfolded. Mystery and spookiness ensue- making for a great read!

King (USA Today Bestselling Author)- Review by Angela Hayes
This is the story of author Lynda Filler and her journey around the world, it is a journal full of experiences, photographs and love. The chapters start with a quote from either Mark Jenkins, Rui Miguel or Rumi, this quote relates to the content of each chapter and is an invitation to find out why this quote is the one which has been specifically chosen.
This memoir starts in a place of sadness and grief, over the impending loss of a lover and friend, but also the companionship of a surprise message from a reviewer of her books and a phone call which would change the course of her life. Through the development of a close friendship with this reviewer over a year, Lynda decided that she wanted to meet the person behind the voice, this would mean travelling halfway across the world to India, so to make an adventure out of it Lynda decided to sell or give away everything that wouldn’t fit into a wheeled suitcase and a rucksack and buy a one way ticket to travel the world.
It is this journey where Lynda discovers a love for the cities she visits and the people she meets along the way to her final destination, but where this will be is a mystery to Lynda, from Mexico toTurkey via France, India, Israel and Malaysia on the search for love, but will it be with the one person she wants it from, or will it be from the people she meets on the way there.
The book makes this feel like a shared experience which enriches your view of the world and makes you want to visit the same places yourself one day, with rich descriptions accompanied by beautiful photographs it is a treat to read.
This is a story of chances taken, memories made and experiences all linked together through love and happiness, even where there is sadness, the happiness to which it can lead is always shown as well. A beautiful read which shows that it is never too late to go on an adventure.

Shattered Snow by Rachel Huffmire is an interesting read and would be perfect for teenagers. It’s hard to write a book that is suitable for both teenage boys and girls, but I would say this book is suitable for all.
Shattered Snow is a retelling is a fairytale classic. The story hasn’t just been reimagined, it’s been turned on its head and retold in a way that is both exciting and unpredictable. Set in the future, we get a glimpse of how life could look in 2069. I’m not sure the world will be prepared for time travelling, especially as we already know…changing the past can have devastating repercussions on the future. Kelston, aka ‘The Mirror’, runs an underground operation. His goal is to use time travel to help rescue people throughout history. He is joined on his mission by Lilia, a mechanic from Russia, and together they set out to change the course of history. I loved this story. It was action packed from the start and had me hooked. I would have loved to have got to know the characters a little better, but this story is definitely with reading no matter what age you are.

The Lies Between Us: A Psychic Romantic Suspense (Deadly Secrets Book 4) by Cynthia Cooke, is Avery quick little action-packed adventure. I really enjoyed the story line, liked the characters, and loved the “powers” of the sisters. The unique little romance going on in this little story was an added bonus. You will be wanting to know more about this family. There are some very adult situations in the story so reader be warned.

I’ve given this club more years of my life than I care to remember, most recently giving them my all as sergeant-at-arms. My life is settled and just the way I like it. I’m too old to change now.
I’ve never had a woman to call my own, nor fathered kids, and never felt I missed out. My brothers sometimes joke my motorcycle is my old lady, and I can’t argue.
So when a photographer wants to feature my baby I can’t resist showing her off. It should have been simple, instead it brought complications that I never dreamed off.
Mary
I’m a frazzled single mom of a seventeen-year-old girl whose life seems to revolve around challenging me. She’s not quite adult, but doesn’t see herself as a child, constantly pushing at boundaries.
I spend my time trying to keep one step ahead of her, but if I give an inch, she takes a mile. Her latest endeavour? To model for a perfect stranger. Oh, the battles when I said she wasn’t going without me as chaperone.
I was right, something was off about the situation, but what it was took a while to emerge. I can’t imagine how I’d have coped if it hadn’t been for the gruff biker called Grumbler.
Note: This book is dark in places and may contain triggers.
Manda’s life’s always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman?
There isn’t enough space to list everything that’s happened to Manda, or what she’s learned from it. But 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, the area’s claim to fame being the Wilkin’s Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. 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.
Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.

The Fire God Tour by Michele Sims is the third book in the Moore Family Saga, and was a great read! The only book in this series I’ve read before is the fourth book in this series. That one was so good, I couldn’t wait to read more of the series. This book was not a disappointment. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, I just wished I could have started with the first book first, and continued from there. It was very well written, with great characters and a great plot line and story. It captures me from the beginning and it was hard to put down. I highly recommend this book.

This was my first book by Brinda Berry. I loved this book and cannot wait for the next one! Malerie has had tragedy after tragedy in her life and believes her time is coming up, no more luck on her side. Ace is a man who grew up taking care of himself and having goals. Working for everything he needed and wanted. When these two meet it’s sparks everywhere! I fell in love with this book because of the wonderful writing style of Ms. Brinda. I’m a fan for life!

Age of Druids: Druid’s Brooch Series: by Christy Nicholas is the ninth book in this historical fantasy series. In this book Christy has woven many threads and pieces of the puzzled together from the other books to finally give us some much-needed answers, like just how the Brooch came to be. This story take place in early Ireland and a religious tug of war. As usual the story is well written, and I truly felt for these people and what they went through. It is easy to imagine the world Christy paints with her attention to detail and vividly descriptive storytelling.
Clíodhna finds herself torn between her own beliefs and those that are being forced upon her and her family. With a religious zealot at the helm nothing good can come of it. Throw in some Fae and magic and life becomes complicated.
