Winter’s Wolf (The Cursed Series Book 1) by Lou Grimes
4 Stars

Louvette has lived almost all over the southern US states. It seems her and her mother were always running. It didn’t help that she was always kicked out of school for fighting. After her recent expulsion, her mother was at her wits end. A knock on their door would change the course of her life. Louvette had never met her father yet she inherited everything when her grandfather passed away. Her mother wasn’t happy but without any other options, signed the papers. Louvette thought of it as a new opportunity to start somewhere new. The little town in Montana was quaint but had its secrets. Louvette quickly realized that she was different and that danger lurked around every corner.

This was an amazing debut novel and a great start to what I believe will be a fantastic series. Between these pages you will find action, danger and romance. The story will keep you glued from beginning to end. The characters are likeable and relatable. I can’t wait to read part two.

Another Yesterday (Seashells and Second Chances Collection Book 2)Another Yesterday by Angela Christina Archer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another Yesterday by Angela Christina Archer is the second book in the Seashells and Second Chances Collection. It is a book of two tales that draws on all of your emotions.
I loved reading about the 2 different generations and everything they both go through. I found it so easy to connect with the two characters and their respective stories. The author has really developed two well round and complex characters.
The story itself had everything you could want as well. I found it to be highly emotional which helped me to connect with it even more. As the first book that I have read by this author I was impressed with the writing style and how the whole book progressed. I will definitely be reading more by this author in the future.

A Book Signing To Die For: Beach Reads by Judy Moore – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

A Book Signing To Die ForA Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Book Signing to Die For is a cosy mystery book by Judy Moore. If you’re not sure what a cosy mystery is, you’re in luck because protagonist Becca tells us in chapter five as “kind of a Hallmark version of a mystery – no swearing, no extreme violence, and definitely G-rated”. A Book Signing to Die For definitely fits the bill, centring around a bookshop/café in a quaint seaside location with a book loving protagonist and a handsome detective. If you’re after something comfortably engaging, this is the book for you!
I particularly liked the cast of characters (human and animal!). At the outset, some seem a little two-dimensional and stereotypical (the sister who hates books and is obsessed with boys, for example) but over the course of the story they are fleshed out and developed. Miss Alice is one of my favourites, with her stern and driven attitude towards business and the soft side that we glimpse every now and then.
The setting, and the book signing event that gets the story going, will appeal to fans of mystery books, so it’s definitely a likeable book! And a holiday to Florida, even if only on the pages of a book, is a welcome escape for anyone stuck somewhere cold, rainy and far from the sea.
For me, this is a four-star book. A great comfort read, and an intriguing mystery!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Clark is a known author to me but this genre was a new one from her for me. And I loved it! Sometimes when dystopian and romance are mixed they become diluted and predictable. But this story had all of the elements well established and the plot kept quick pace and kept me guessing. I loved this story and cannot wait to go back and read it again.

I loved reading the book Another Yesterday (Seashells and Second Chances Collection Book 2) by Angela Christina Archer. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a story about love, family, and finding oneself. It is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. There are times when I had tears in my eyes and others that had me empathizing with the characters. I loved reading about Maggie and Rachel. In 1966 Maggie finds herself in the small town of Shadow Brook. Away from all she had ever known, friends, family. It is a place she could forget her past. She left it hidden in a box in the attic. Rachel thought she had it all. A wonderful husband, a wonderful career, and living in a city that she loves. When life throws her come curves she finds herself back in Shadow Brook. Now she is facing her mother passing away, her high school sweetheart, and that she is the new owner of an inn. This is the story of two strong women that is unforgettable. Read this book to find out their full story. This is a story that has heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. It has moments that will touch your heart. The author has done an amazing job of creating not only a wonderful storyline but making the characters come alive. This is a book that I thought about long after I had finished the last page. Don’t miss out on this awesome story. I highly recommend reading it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a beautiful story about a mother and daughter. About their lives and the secrets they keep and the secrets that are found. Its a heartwarming story about love and forgiveness and shows that you never really know someone’s story.

Maggie runs away from her home town. Leaving behind her parents, her friends and him. The Him being the father of her little girl Rachel. Being a young mum she flees to a small town of Shadow Brook where she rebuilds her life at the little Inn.

Fast forward 30 years and Rachel is a grown married woman. The last place she wants to be is working at the Inn her mother took on in the sleepy village of Shadow Brook, but when her mother passes away and she finds her husband has been unfaithful she runs back to the Inn.

When she starts to do the Inn up she find a box in the attic of her mothers letters and journal and she finally learns the truth of her mothers story. When she rekindles her romance with her old school sweetheart she thinks maybe she could build her life here just as her mum has before her.

I really enjoyed this book. There was laughter and sadness and twists that I didn’t see coming but it was a very touching story.

Girl TrapGirl Trap by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Madeline Dawkins series and they just keep getting better.

This book finds our two favourite PI’s splitting up and taking on 2 separate cases.

Mike takes on the case of his cousins missing gf and her sister. What starts out as a case of the gf taking his money and leaving soon becomes something more sinister as Mike and Jesse work and put the pieces together. They start to uncover things they never thought possible and when they come across a sex trafficking ring and a possible ransom they start to believe that the girls were involved in something much more sinister.

Meanwhile Madeline is on the hunt for Elise’s daughter who has been missing for years. Even though there is obviously no love lost between the mother and her daughter, Elise hires then to find her daughter Hannah. Elise tells them that she is dying and that is why she needs Hannah found. With this case and trail being really really cold will Madeline stand a chance of finding anything. When she starts putting pieces of a story together things don’t add up. A fatal crash that killed Hannah’s father is suspicious. Was it an accident like Elise claimed or was it more sinister.

This book will keep you on the edge all the way through. You can’t put it down because you need to find out the truth and the answers to these cases. Amazing read.

What a great story! Swallowed By A Secret by Risa Nyman is a great emotional story for preteens! In this story we meet Rocky. Rocky is a 12-year old boy who just lost his father. However, there is a twist to his father’s death that is a huge secret. Rocky is bound and determined to find out what that secret is. In the midst of everything, he has to move mid-year of school. The good news is he does befriend Olive who decides that she is going to help him find out what exactly happened to his dad. Olive is bright and cheerful and a great addition to this story. These two together come up with some disasters of ideas but together they are great! This was such awesome reading that I didn’t want to put the book down even though it was for preteens! It really was an emotional roller coaster though so don’t forget the tissues! I really was impressed with the book and the writing style of this author. I can’t wait to read another book from her again!

Blind Magic: The Sanctuary Chronicles by India Kells was a wonderful paranormal romance. I could not put thus book down. I was immediately hooked by Sera’s character and her loss of sight. I was fascinated and curious. Did Ian cause the change to happen quicker? I had to know. As I read I learned more about what was causing her issue and had a magnificent adventure. All the crazy magical beings and attacks were invigorating! Ian was amazing and do were many of the other characters. I loved this book and it is an easy 5-stars for me. It kept me interested, had an excellent plot, and a surprising climax. I highly recommend this book.

☆☆☆☆☆
This is a great Chapter book for middle school students and adults. This was a fun book to read. It has it all, ghosts, wild imagination starter, potions, spells and a 12 year old who can see ghosts. But I know that kids will love this story starting on page one. In walks Grace. Does she really see ghosts? Give this story an audience.

Stephenie Wilson Peterson has hit the nail on the head with this one. Kids who can read chapter books, will want to read this book. Those who do not read well, would love it if you read it to them. I love Grace and her self connection with the characters searching through this story. All I can say is What A Fun Fantastic story for all to enjoy! Nice job Stephenie Wilson Peterson!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is top notch! The author writes with a vividness that makes this hard to put down! It is filled with action, suspense and characters you can stand behind. The characters are lively and full of zest. Ian and Sera are great and full of depth. It was nice to watch them change and become more then possibly lose it all again. They drew me in and I couldn’t get to that last page fast enough. Just to find out what happens.
The secondary characters are fun! I really like Finn and Violet. They really have some great banter and I can’t wait for their story! All of the secondary characters are wonderful. They are full and give enough to make the reader wonder about them.
The author just surprises me at every turn. I did not read book 1 and I was hesitant to read this because I don’t believe in crossing species and witches aren’t my favorite characters. But I am so HAPPY I gave this one a shot! I might even go back and read book 1. But I am really looking for Finn’s story.

I really enjoyed this novel by Lou Grimes. It was for me a fresh take on a werewolf story and I really could not put it down. The story of Louvette’s journey of discovering herself and the truth about her family is full of adventure and intrigue. There are many twists and turns which kept the story interesting. This book kept my attention and ended with a bit of a cliffhanger making me eager for the second book. Lou Grimes is a new author and one I think has a great future in writing.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore is an entertaining beach read filled with murder, mugging, family drama and secrets. It is my first read by this writer and she will be one of my go to writers when I feel like something cozy but with a slight edge!
The story takes place in a small Florida town of Manatee Beach and we have O’Rourke women who will need to take on a murder that happens in their Beach Reads bookstore and coffee shop during a book signing. Beck is the older sister who co-owns the place with her grandmother Miss Alice, younger sister Lizzie is the third female of the family that rounds up the trio, oh and let’s not forget the family’s Great Dane, Coquina!
When the book signing guest who knew the writer from years earlier turns up murdered, Beck decides to find out who killed her. You think you are just going along on the ride and can figure it out yourself but I tell you, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface! Throw in the hot detective, someone who Beck went to school with and who is partially responsible for her giving up her dreams of becoming a detective and you have a story that you do not mind staying up late in the evening!
I am not sure if this is an opening to a new series but I hope that Beck will have more opportunities to flex her detective muscle AND who knows what will become of her relationship with the hot detective!

She never knew her father or even his name, until a lawyer turns up to execute her grandfather’s will.

Having signed the will Louvette and her mother head to Montana for a fresh start.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Swallowed by a Secret is the first book I’ve read by Risa Nyman. I really enjoyed it, and while it’s listed as a childrens book, I would say preteen. The book has a bit of mystery, that is not revealed until the very end. You can speculate all you want, but most people won’t guess the answer. The characters in the book are well written and the friendships developed are strong. The feelings of the book are realistic and would be good for any child experiencing a loss. It helps them make sense of their feelings and understand everyone goes through some heavy things in life.
The book is about Rocky, a 12 year old boy whose dad recently passed away. He was told from heart issues, but he doesn’t believe that. His mom makes them suddenly packup and move, right after the funeral. He has overheard pieces of conversation indicating his mom is hiding the details surrounding his father’s death. To make matters worse, he started hearing his dad’s voice. At first he is terrified, but then finds comfort in it. He has his new friend Olive start scheming ways to find out the truth.

I loved reading the book Martimus (Feisty Lawyers Book 5) by Seelie Kay. It is a story that has suspense, romance, action, and danger. It pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a fast-paced book that had me hooked. The Agency is looking for eight socialites that have gone missing. No one seems to care until the daughter of a former vice president becomes one of the missing. Where are they? Will they be found? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the different characters and how they all fit into the storyline. There are those who I would call “the good guys” who are looking for the missing and then there are those who have an agenda and plans. Will they succeed or will the Agency along with MISix agent Tilly Henderson be able to interrupt those plans? This book is very detailed and is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with the characters. If you love books that have you turning pages and in constant suspense, this is the book for you. I highly recommend reading it.

Winter’s Wolf was a really enjoyable paranormal story – although I have read a few stories from this genre it is not one of my go to books but I saw the cover which I loved and the blurb really intrigued me so I thought I would give it a ago and I really enjoyed it! The writing was easy to read, the story line was good and I really liked the characters. The author did a great job with world building and her creative writing style really came through. I liked that the story wasn’t quite what I was expecting either – it was a really refreshing read! Louvette was a really interesting character to read about – I really liked her.
I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in this new series!!

The story whilst about a young boy was really rich and deep – I found myself easily absorbed into what I was reading. I was really surprised actually how emotionally involved I became with the story and with Rocky! I enjoyed reading his journey and the author did a really great job with him as a character.
I will definitely be looking to read more from this author in the future and I highly recommend this read to others, both YA and more mature readers alike!

Heart of Malice (Alice Worth, #1)Heart of Malice by Lisa Edmonds
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heart of Malice by Lisa Edmonds a four-star read with heart. This is the first novel in the Alice Worth series and shows great promise for the series, this has some very well done world building as it encompasses a variety of different characters and they each have their own personal quirks, that make them so much more. Alice the main character is nicely done, she is hiding from a scary past, but while hiding she is also trying to atone for things that were beyond her control, as we all know guilt doesn’t always follow the correct rules. Alice was believable as a private investigator, she had a real awareness to her, I am hopeful for the rest of this series as we have met some great characters that I am sure we will only fall harder in love with the more we get to know them.
