My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Al Capone at the Blanche Hotel by Linda Bennett Pennell exceeded all my expectations. This is my first read from Linda Bennett Pennell, so I really didn’t know what I would be in for. I was drawn to the book by its title, as I love all things crime related, and I’m a bit of a history buff too. I thought the story would make a great pallet cleanser between darker reads, which it definitely was- but it was also a surprisingly intriguing, and deftly woven story.
The author has created a complex story, visiting two different time periods, with several different characters, and choreographing the whole thing seamlessly. The multi-faceted story transitions from modern day back to the 1930’s- painting a rich and textured picture of the times. The characters are really well developed and very interesting. And I enjoyed how even though they were from vastly different times, they were connected by the same infamous character.
The authors love of the past, history, characters, and a great story- really shines through her writing- and I am really looking forward to seeing what she does next.

Thank you, Linda Bennett Pennell!

A Divided Mind by M. Billiter
5 Stars

This is the first book that I have read from this author and I was truly blown away. The story is about a boy who is diagnosed with schizophrenia and his family’s struggle to deal with it, especially his mother. It is a gripping and harrowing tale of what a schizophrenic goes through. The author describes in detail the delusions, confusion and sometimes terror of what they see and feel.

Someone I love is schizophrenic so this story hit close to home. I can fully understand what Tara was going through. The feelings of helplessness and longing to help the person yet knowing there is nothing that you can do. Watching a loved one fight their own mind and struggle for sanity.

This book is extremely well written. The author really hit the nail on its head. There are constant twists and turns. Forewarning: this is not a happy story but the bare reality of an agonizing disease. I was nervous about reading this book but I’m so glad that I did.

Eternity (Captivity, #3)Eternity by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ETERNITY is is the final book in the series and I think it should be read in order as each book picks up where the last one ended.

The entire Captivity Series flows quickly from the beginning to end.
It moves quickly with the continuing threads being highlighted through each. The series is well plotted and entertaining.

I recommend this series

Super cool story about a kid who doesn’t feel like he fits in or has friends. He is always the new kid in town and doesn’t make friends easily.

So of course he creates his own best friend.

This is one of those books that I think would be enjoyed by humans of all ages. There are great visuals and lessons learned.

Out BadOut Bad by Janice M. Whiteaker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a little frustrating for me. It takes so long to get to the reasons why the MCs feel and deal the way they do. The events for both main protagonists are openly alluded to and we get to see their turmoil through their internal dialog.

“Woman love a hero almost as much as they love a man who is broken.”

Gwen is a strong independent woman who is running away from her past. Joe is a big bag biker who is NOT his past and is working towards redemption.

I will be reading the next book on the series

by Via Mari

Another great book from a great author. Via Mari never disappoints. I started out reading the prestian series and I was hooked and now that I’m reading this series she is quickly becoming one one my favorite authors. There is action, danger, friendship, romance, steamy moments and so much more. I get so drawn into these stories that I become invested in the outcome of the characters. The author weaves such an exceptional storyline that I was unable to put this book down. I love reading Jenny and Brian’s story, I just can’t get enough. After everything that Jenny has been through I can’t help but want Brian to be able to fix it all. I highly recommend this book if you want to know what happens. This is an awesome series!

The Traitor, An Underground Bad Boys series by India Kells was the 2nd book in the series but could easily be read as a stand-alone. I do recommend reading book one because India is a very gifted writer. Her books are hot and the story is engaging. I never got bored or had to take a break. Overall I liked the characters and the writing. I thought it was very good and liked it a lot. I would give a 4 star rating. Looking forward to others!

This was such a good read. While aimed at younger readers, I enjoyed this story. My kiddos are just a tad young to understand or sit through a book this length, I will save this for future reading time.
Tired of moving around because of his dads job, Monty discovers a serum in their new house and that’s when things get really interesting. All he wanted was a friend but you’ll have to read to uncover what happens.
Taught some valuable lessons and had some laughs too. Author did a great job of getting into the mind of an early teenager.

September Breeze (Cinnamon Bay, #2)September Breeze by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

September Breeze is the second story in Cinnamon Bay written by Nikki Lynn Barrett. Cinnamon Bay is a series filled with romance, mystery, and magic and the stories take place in the quirky coastal town of Cinnamon Bay, North Carolina. Each book is written by a different writer which gives us a series that will fall in love with! Nikki Lynn Barrett is a new writer for me and I know I will be picking up her books now that I have read September Breeze.
The small town matchmakers are at it again in this small town when they send a songwriter Tess Dixon to Brian Taylor’s door. Brian is a widow with two young daughters and is looking for a live – in nanny but of course it is not as simple as that as the add that Tess was given, it was not a live-in nanny that the family was looking for but a mother …
You can imagine where the story might take us and I loved the two little girls and the patience Tess had with them and I loved the affection and the playfulness and I also felt drawn to Tess’ baggage … don’t we all have some?
I recommend you to pick up a copy and join Tess and Brian and Alice and Tatum and join me in keeping our fingers crossed!

5 ++++ Stars

OMG I loved this book, it was even better than the 1st one and I loved that one. This one brought out all kinds of emotions and fears and feelings.

This picked up right after book 1 and gave us so much, Im really loving the multiple pov’s. I wasn’t sure but I sincerely think I could read every book in that way. There’s no guessing about anyone and this author did it in a way you were never confused. This one delved a whole lot deeper into all the moving parts of this story and these characters, and that is another reason I love these books, you have your 2 main but you also get invested in many of the other characters as well.

I read this in one sitting because I sincerely could not put it down and in some spots I wasn’t sure if I could read it fast enough all the while not wanting it to end. I already have the next on my kindle and I’m so so so excited for that story, I already miss all of these people and I just finished this book.

I must add that you have to read these in order, I can’t imagine not having book 1 under my belt before reading this one or the next.

Many Thanks to this author for giving me another favorite series for this year, and another that I will definitely reread in the future.

Loved it!

Al Capone at the Blanche Hotel By Linda Bennett Pennell
4 stars!!!!

I do like to read different genres sometimes and this really was a good change. I really like how the author uses the past and history to help to enrich the story. I felt that this really added to the story and what a story. I love history and this book really fit in well with that.

The way that the characters interact is unique. I like how Liz is able to use her love of history and especially crime in history. The whole way in which her study and research begins to tie into the story is just amazing. I could feel her emotions as she was researching. I felt the sort of let down when she couldn’t really tie Al Capone in. I certainly enjoyed reading this book and I would definitely read more from this author in the future.

Ice Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria 1)Ice Crown by Kay L Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Ice Crown is the first book in The Elements of Kamdaria Series by Kay L Moody. It is a YA Fantasy- with magic, mystery, action, and adventure. It has a bit of an Avatar The Last Airbender feel to the story- but definitely has its own unique identity.
I found the story to be well written and thought Ms. Moody got this new series off to a great start! I Loved her Truth Seer Trilogy, so I was intrigued by what I would find inside the cover of this book. I think this series holds great promise, and if this book is anything to go by the rest of the series looks set to be fantastic.
My only issue is with the novella length to the book- as I felt that it suffered a little from a lack of more ‘meat’ to the story. Trying to keep within certain page ‘constraints’ seemed to me to result in skipping over a lot of ‘time’ and other details- which if they’d been included would have beefed-up the story and made it something I could have really sunk my teeth into. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy it, because I did. I just thought it would have been a more ‘epic’ adventure- if it had been fleshed out more. I am hoping that the rest of the books are a little longer and more ‘meaty’.
Talise is a wonderful MC- she’s strong, talented, clever, and interesting. She’s one determined young lady. It was easy to like her and invest in her and the outcome of her story.
I am intrigued to see where the series goes- and can’t wait for book #2.

Thank You, Kay L Moody!

A Divided Mind by M. Billiter . This book was amazing. You know when you read a good book and you can’t stop thinking about it, this is that book . This book resonates with me because I suffer from depression. Its the story of Branson a high school student and his mother Tara. Branson has mental illness and and is coming to terms with it. Tara tries her best and isn’t always the best mom but she does everything in love. Branson’s family and friends don’t always understand his illness and they do and say very inappropriate things. This story delves into how mental illness doesn’t only effect the person but the whole family. Tara also has a high stress job while trying to help Branson the best she can and deal with family who doesn’t understand. This book will pull at your heart strings, make you furious and make you laugh. Its the best book on mental illness I’ve read. Its not just cookie cutter medicine. Read this story and you will love it and will think about it long after you have read it!

Al Capone at the Blanche Hotel by Linda Bennett Pennell. This book is seeped in history and intrigue with a great crossover to modern day.
This is a story told in two separate times. The authors does a great job of jumping between the two time lines while keeping you invested in all the characters.
For me I found this book to be a slow build type of book. It didn’t instantly hook but either realising it the book crept up and grabbed my interest.
The story is full of detail and suspense. I really wasn’t sure at first if I would like it but I definitely enjoyed it. For anyone who likes this genre I would say to give this book a go!

Into Pieces by Nicole Banks is the second book in the Shattered Hearts series. You do need to read these books in order as this story is the first continuation of the story we began in book one.
This book does so much more for the characters then even the first one did. For me the first book was so emotional due to the nature of it. However this book showed the complexity and depth that the characters have and this leads on you on a such a journeys
The author really takes you for a ride as well. There are so Lang his and downs you really begin to questions whether or not this couple will make it. This is a brilliant book and I think everyone should read it.

Monty and the Monster by Rhonda Smiley

5-Stars

Monty and the Monster by Rhonda Smiley was an excellent, fun, and family friendly novel. Monty was a very creative and well developed character. His struggle adapting to a new town and having to make new friends is something many individuals can relate to. It was an excellent way to make him seem more realistic and relatable. I had no problem identifying with him and remember having the same issues as a young girl when my family moved.

I also enjoyed how easy the storyline was to follow and how the author really made everything come to life. I also loved the various settings and how descriptive the author was in following Monty into the secret passage at the beginning of the book. I feel this book is appropriate for younger readers as well as older but not younger than maybe 5th or 6th grade level due to the amount of pages and different vocabulary used. I do highly recommend this book since it was a fun read.

The Traitor, An Underground Bad Boys SeriesThe Traitor, An Underground Bad Boys Series by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Traitor is the second book in the Underground Bad Boys series. It can be read as a standalone.

I enjoyed the characters in this book. It can be difficult to find romance novels with strong female leads, but I found Josie to be a well-written character. Even though Josie was in a bad situation, she was making an effort on her own to take care of her problems before Knox showed up in her life. It didn’t have that whole damsel-in-distress feel. I did feel bad for Gage at the end. Poor guy. Third time will be the charm? One can hope at least. I love his character.

The Traitor has plenty of steamy scenes to keep you entertained. I’m glad the author is writing bisexual characters. It gives more complexity to the story. One of the other things I love about this book is that it isn’t all light and fluffy. It’s got grit yet still manages to pull on your emotions.

Out Bad by Janice M. Whiteaker is book one of the Sinners or Saints series. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I really enjoyed the book.

This book is Joe and Gwen’s story. Both characters carry some pretty heavy demons from their past. Joe tries to redeem himself at every step. He wants to be worthy of a family and a good life. Gwen is a workaholic. She’s pretty sure her chance for a family of her own has passed. When Joe meets Gwen, he knows she’s just the motivation he needs to clean up his act completely. The only problem with demons is they usually come back for more.

This book was pretty suspenseful. I couldn’t wait to find out what was happening. I couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait to read the next book!

Monty the Monster by Rhonda Smiley is a fun book to read. Definitely something that middle schoolers/young adults might enjoy reading.

Monty is a 7th grader who has once again moved to a new place. It’s hard to make and keep friends when you move around so much. Monty finds a serum and decides to create a friend which should be much easier than making friends. However, things don’t go according to plan and Monty May have created a monster…literally. Monty has to come up with a new plan once he realizes his monster best friend may be eating neighborhood kids.

This book was a fun read but also very relatable for young people. Monty’s character can be easily related to at almost any age though. Making friends is not easy!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Traitor (An Underground Bad Boys Romance Book 2) by India Kells is a dark erotic romance story that is Hot, hot, hot. It is M/F/M that will leave you sizzling and steamy as the words jump off the page. I really enjoy India’s books and her stories are wonderfully written. We are taken on a journey where there is drama and danger, heartache and pleasure, suspense and intrigue. The characters are full of pain and emotion and are as flawed as they are broken and all fighting their own demons. This ménage à trois is beautifully woven and well crafted.

Spencer’s life has been spent in the dark and seedy side of life and it has left him with things that are bogging him down. He is not proud of that life and the burden is sometimes too tough to handle. He is a man of his word but even he had his limits and he betrayed and left behind the life that he once knew, that is until that past comes back to haunt him when a mysterious woman comes into his life.

Josie world fell apart and now she has to work herself to the bone all because of her horrible ex. She suddenly finds that there is more to the handsome stranger who has been in town for the last 6 months and that her life is about to change.

Gage had to get away, so he decides to catch up with his old mate whose life was similar to his. When he arrives he finds something to keep his mind off things by turning up the heat but he soon finds that he is again the odd one out.

I can’t wait to see what India has for us next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fools Rush In: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 3 by Donna S. Frelick is the third book in this Sci Fi romance series and is really a prequel to the other two books. It takes us to the beginning of Agent Rayna Carver and Captain Sam Murphy, who you would know from books one and two. It is a quick and easy read and this book mainly centres around being on spaceships and the dangers of other beings trying to take over. takes place on starships and occasional dingy and dangerous ports. As battles ensue and fights for lives romance blossoms in the toughest of them all. There is plenty of action and battles, plots and murder and much more that will keep you turning the pages. The characters are endearing and are easy to like. This is actually my favourite book in the series.

Rayna is an agent sent on missions to help bring prisoners home after being abducted from all over the universe. She is one sassy, strong and take no prisoners type of gal and she has just met her match. Will she be able to survive the ordeal or will she fail in her mission?

Sam is a space pirate and he hates the creatures who abduct beings. He is also wanted by the same agency that employs the woman who won’t leave his mind. With a fight against time will he survive and be able to help the woman he loves?

I am not a sci fi lover but I did enjoy this series. If you enjoy science fiction then this series is for you.

This book was so much more than I expected it to be. I think the author did an exceptional job weaving both the past storyline and the present storyline together. There was romance, suspense, danger and more. I was expecting Al Capone to be more of the main character but that’s not what how it was for me and yet it still worked so well, he was definitely still a big presence but in a different way than I expected. This really was intriguing throughout the entire book and I loved every minute. I was unable to put it down until I finished. This story is full of wonderful and interesting characters.

Both main characters were very likable for me. Spencer is a billionaire who has everything he could ever want except someone to spend more then one night with. Melanie has been trying to get her group to the big leagues and has decided it’s just not in the cards for her. One thing Spencer and Melanie have in common aside from the desire to be with each other is music. Spencer loves to compose music and Melanie loves to sing. Will Melanie be able to write the words for Spencer’s music? Melanie is about to go home and help her sister take care of her mom and kids. Will Spencer and Melanie find true love together or will Melanie leave and never look back? This was a great read that goes quickly.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Confectioner Chronicles: The Complete Fantasy Mystery Series ​by​ Claire Luana​ ​is a unique YA fantasy, thriller, romance series that is full of magic and the unusual and should not be missed. It is also a murder mystery that is action packed and well paced. Claire weaves her magic with just the right amount of mystery and suspense, action and danger, romance and intrigue, heartache and love, humour and fun. I enjoyed the story so much that it finished before I was ready and I didn’t even notice because I was so enthralled to find out what was going to happen next.
In book 1 Wren was falsely accused of murder by cupcake and has a month to find out who framed and who the actual murderer is and clear her name.

In book 2 Wren having barely survived, she is having to face enemies, both old and new as she tries to solve the mystery behind disappearing Guild members.

In book 3 Wren is heartbroken and still reeling from the loss and betrayal of others. On the run, tired, scared, hurt and faced with her past all the while the political unrest continues and Wren wonders if she will ever have her family back and lead a normal life again.

This series should be on everyone’s reading list. I mean books in one stop what could be better.
