Elemental Fae Academy (Elemental Fae Academy Book 2) by Lexi C. Foss & J.R. Thorn – Review by Liz Vrchota

Elemental Fae Academy: Book Two (Elemental Fae Academy #2)Elemental Fae Academy: Book Two by Lexi C. Foss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The adventures of the Elemental Fae Academy book two, picks up right where we left off with book one. Claire has been thrust into the world of the Fae with powers and chaos without so much as a little bit of a heads up. She must figure out how she fits in this world and what her purpose will truly be. Along the way we get to meet five handsome, rugged, and swoon worthy men that are by her side and in a part of her harem. If five seems like a bit much and you are skeptical of Harem novels, please don’t hesitate with this one. These authors have perfectly orchestrated this tale to accommodate all of their personalities and brings them to life so perfectly. I could not get enough of this book and truly am anxiously awaiting the next installment of the series. If you haven’t had the chance to read book one start there but these are must reads for fans of paranormal and fantasy romance!

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi Series Book 1) by C.A. King – Review by Liz Vrchota

Evil SushiEvil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have seriously fallen in love with the writings of CA King this last year. So much so, that I have started to share some of her work with my tween daughter so that I have someone to discuss these awesome books and the worlds that are brought to life within them. Evil Sushi is one of those books that makes a dystopian world terrifying. I loved this book! As per King’s typical, she has created a world where the environment begins to fight back. I love that just as you think to know what to expect things become very multidimensional and adds twists and turns that one could never have predicted.

I won’t give you much more details other than what is already divulged in the blurb and my own thoughts on the book because I just couldn’t bear to ruin this story. I will say that this book will lead us directly to a second book, Sashimi! I will be anxiously awaiting it to see what will come next. I am sure that I will love it too! In the meantime go grab Evil Sushi and dig in today! Its one you don’t want to miss!

Elemental Fae Academy (Elemental Fae Academy Book2) by Lexi C. Foss and J.R Thorn
5 Stars

After the cliffhanger left me dangling in part one, I couldn’t wait to read this one. This book does not disappoint! It picks up exactly where the last one finishes and takes you on a roller coaster ride filled with danger, intrigue and so much passion, it will leave you breathless. This is not a stand-alone, go back and read the first part. This series is well worth it!

Exos is taken and Claire feels the loss. It is like a piece of her is missing. Titas tried to help but she needs so much more. Cyrus enters the picture and although he’s an arrogant jerk most of the time, I love him! He’s exactly what Claire needs. He becomes her rock of support and like a tsunami, threatens to destroy anyone who tries to harm her.

More characters were introduced in this novel. Each unique and complex within themselves. I loved each and every one of them for different reasons. Her chosen mates add their individual strengths to her, giving her exactly what she needs. Claire has a lot on her plate in this book. Trying to locate Exos, tentatively getting to know her other mates better and trying to stay alive. Someone is out to get her and they need to figure out who it is before it’s too late.

The development and the growth of the characters was amazing. So much happens in this novel, it will blow you away. I loved this book even more than the first. This series keeps getting better and better. I can’t wait to read part three.

Devil’s Dilemma: Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter #4) by Manda Mellett – Review by Angela Hayes

Devil's Dilemma (Satan's Devils MC Colorado Chapter #4)Devil’s Dilemma by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

Devil’s Dilemma is the fourth book in Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter by Manda Mellett. This is a friends to lovers, slow burn, MC romance- with lots of drama, and tension.
Melissa thought she’ found her happily ever after in the arms of the biker who swept her off her feet. He introduced her to the ‘life’, family, and friends she holds so dear. But when he disappears without a trace, her ‘perfect’ world crumbles. Pyro is there from the beginning- he had her back whenever she needed him. Whatever she needed. He steps up like no other, and he truly thinks the world of her. She’s perfect in his eyes. But she belongs to another. To a brother. Some lines can’t be crossed. Can they? But as their friendship grows, it evolves- and soon feelings are involved. So, what happens when lines do get crossed? What happens when developments involving her ‘other’ love come to light? Will these two find their happily ever after, or are they headed for more heartbreak?
I have loved all the books in the original Satan’s Devils, as well as this new ‘spin-off’ series- the ‘Colorado Chapter’. But I am really sorry to say that this one left me really frustrated. It is a slow burn, but the story was so slow it felt like it was really dragging/lagging for big chunks of the story. I have not felt like that with any of the other books. I was so frustrated with the story, and myself, because I just couldn’t find the ‘groove’. Maybe it was just me, and I was having an ‘off’ episode- but I really had trouble connecting with the story and the characters because of it. I really wanted to love the story and the characters- because they are great character- it just lost some mojo, for me….
But, this won’t deter me from pursuing the rest of the series, and I look forward to seeing what Ms. Mellett does next!

Thank you, Ms. Mellett!

To Kill a Fae (The Dragon Portal Book 1) by Jamie A. Waters – Review by Angela Hayes

To Kill a Fae (The Dragon Portal Series, #1)To Kill a Fae by Jamie A. Waters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

OMG why have I not discovered this author before now!!! This is one of my favourite books of the year, if not ever!!! I was completely riveted by the story- from beginning to end- and didn’t come up for air till I had wrung every last word off the pages. I got to the end and wanted more- not the more like it was lacking in some way- because this story is anything but lacking! No- the more as in, I don’t want to leave the story- I want to stay in its embrace- and I NEED to know what’s going to happen and don’t make me leave this ‘world’. That’s how good this book is. I NEED the next book STAT! Like today- no, make that YESTERDAY!!!!
To Kill a Fae is the first incredible instalment in The Dragon Portals Series by Jamie A. Waters. As you may have gathered by this point in my review, this is my first read from Ms. Waters- and what an brilliant introduction to her work/style this book has been. After stalking her, I mean ‘researched’ her- I have discovered that she has a whole slew of other book which I can’t wait to explore! They should keep me occupied for a while- and maybe keep my mind off the next book in this series, till it releases.
This is a sublime fantasy- with magic, Fae, action, adventure, drama, demons, dragons, other paranormal/supernatural beings & creatures, secrets, chemistry, tension, twists, and romance.
We jump straight into the action, right from the beginning- as Ms. Waters weaves this exciting tale. Her world building is fantastic- creating a rich and vivid ‘landscape’ in which to set her story. Her attention to detail is remarkable- and her little touches only enhance this otherwise superbly crafted world, making it so believable and ‘real’ that I was transported into the story and experienced everything right alongside the characters. Down to a detailed backstory, history, and cultural touches- nothing was left to chance. Giving the story an added depth and richness that can be lacking in other books.
I loved that this story is told from a duel perspective- as it gave me so much more to ponder. The story is definitely intriguing and suspenseful- and comes with quite a lot of heart-pounding action that had me devouring the pages to discover how things would play out.
The characters are truly wonderful- an absolutely stellar cast whom I couldn’t have loved more even if you’d paid me!! Sabine and Malek are divine. I LOVE every single little thing about them. They are so well developed, and they continued to grow and develop throughout the story. Even the secondary characters didn’t miss out on this attention- and their parts really enhanced the whole story. I loved the addition of the street urchins & Edvar, as well as Blossom & Barley- but especially Bane, Dax, Esme, and Balkin- pure genius on Ms. Water’s part.
I can’t find the words to truly do this story the justice it deserves, and I can’t recommend this book highly enough! So, do yourself the favour and grab a copy and discover all the spellbinding delights for yourself! This is definitely one of those stories that will stay with you long after you close the cover (have you noticed how fantastic this cover is- just WOW).

Kudos, and thank you, Jamie A. Waters- I’m looking forward to our next rendezvous!

Demon’s Angel: Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter Book 2) by Manda Mellett – Review by Karyn Taylor

Demon's Angel: Satan's Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) #2Demon’s Angel: Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) #2 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Demon’s Angel is the 2nd book in the amazing Satan’s Devils (Colorado Chapter) Series by Manda Mellett. Each book can be read as a stand-alone although the characters from other books, including her Satan’s Devils Arizona series, do appear in all books. I first read this author’s work near the end of the Arizona series and each time I read another, it becomes my favourite. This time is no different. The stories just keep getting better and better.
You would think that after so many books the storylines could become stale or too similar but it’s totally the opposite. This book, like the others before it, grabbed me in from the very beginning and didn’t let go. In this book we are told the story of Demon who is the president of the Satan’s Devils in Colorado. Demon has had a lot to come to terms with recently (as we learned in Paladin’s Hell). Last thing he needs is a woman distracting him but when Violet Palmer comes back into his life needing help, he just can’t resist the one woman who has always had a place in his heart.
This book had all the feels. The intrigue and suspense will have you on the edge of your seat. There are many twists and turns in the story that keep you totally gripped. I absolutely love the way that Manda Mellett weaves a fascinating story with characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. I definitely recommend this book.

San Diego Dead (Jake Wolfe #4) by Mark Nolan

4 out of 5 stars

San Diego Dead is the fourth book in the Jakes Wolfe series but it’s only the second book in this series that I have read. The characters were well written and the story was in-depth, intense and very suspenseful. I really enjoyed this story.

Jake Wolfe is a Marine-turned-lawyer Jake Wolfe is on his vacation to sunny San Diego and Cabo San Lucas. While enjoying the white beaches, warm blue water and boat trips among the gray whales he also finds cold blooded murder. He crosses paths with a criminal cartel urgently seeking to reclaim a deadly package.

Jake learns the missing item is a threat to US citizens and vows to stop the cartel from possessing it, no matter what vigilante justice actions he might have to take. Time is running out and thousands of innocent lives are at risk ill Jake be-able to save the innocent lives?

I was a little lost in the beginning because I didn’t know what happened because I didn’t read book 2 and 3 but I will be reading them soon.

5 Out of 5 Stars

Friend: A College Romance is the third book in What Happens on Campus series written by Ms. Sparrow. When Terri is traumatized, it is up to Jet to try to pick up the pieces and help her to feel like her old self. Can Jet help her get her confidence back?
The writing is well done and the characters are unique. Ms. Sparrow’s a wonderful storyteller. I did find that some of the pages were a little wordy, leading away from the actual story. I enjoyed the story just the same and would highly recommend reading this book, as well as the previous ones in the series!

San Diego Dead (Jake Wolfe #4)San Diego Dead by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can not get enough of reading and visualizing Jake and Cody “working” together. When an officer says she need volunteer DNA sample from a suspect. Jake and Cody say “no problem” and proceed to “scare” the man til he pees his pants. Then smile and say Thank you for your donation. Stuff like this are what make Jake and Cody so much fun to read. Plus all the personable time with Cody wanting bacon or huffing in agreement or laughing(pant, pant, pant) at what Jake says. Cody is a star in his own. He helps make this action adventure story.

Jake ….well Jake is the brains of the operations. He is smart on his own. I love how his brain works to figure things out. He must get that from his Marine days. Think fast and on your feet. He is not afraid and steps right up to danger. His friends are as important as his dog are to him. I love love love his dedication to Cody. I am surprised all the places he takes Cody during the book. When Cody is added to him they are an unstoppable team.

The secondary characters are all helpful in moving the story along. Roxanne, Terrell, Pez and even the agents all have light hearted moments that make this story not quite so heavy. Add in Jakes sarcasm/wit and Cody’s dogginess and it’s a perfect recipe.

I have enjoyed all of these books so far. This one is no exception. It is full of action and moves right along. The characters are fun, dangerous and interesting. It’s easy to forget daily life and just keep reading about Cody and Jake. My only wish is that these would come out on audio.

PS. Thanks for the wonderful new gear I was able to read about. As always I love the Dear Reader at the back so I can find out what is real.

Protecting His Heart: a Lawson Family Novel (Lawson Family Series Book 2) by Tracey Cramer-Kelly – Review by Katie Matthews

Protecting His Heart (Lawson Family, #2)Protecting His Heart by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Oh how I loved this story! I was completely hooked from the very beginning and it definitely gave me all the feels whilst I was reading. I have read a few books by this author now and I definitely think that this one was my absolute favourite so far! The characters were just so well thought out and so realistic, I could honestly imagine what was happening whilst I was reading. I felt really involved in their lives as a reader and because of that I felt this deeper connection with them. I loved Rachel and I really did feel for her and the dilemma she faced – what she wanted and her reality really were two different things. I loved Ian – he was so dreamy but his past had me in tears at times! Although Rachel was with Josh I was 100% behind her and Ian being together – I thought they would make THE perfect couple!!
I cannot recommend this story enough – especially if you are looking for one that will give you all the feels and bring out your emotions whilst reading! I can’t wait to read more from this author again in the future!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Friend: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus book 3) by M.L Sparrow is sadly the last book in this series. It is a college romance and has all the angst and drama that you expect from these stories. This series is well written and the characters are complex with all their flaws at that age. Reading these books in order is a must or you will not understand what is going on.

Terri Murphy is still reeling from a terrible and horrible trauma. As she struggles Jet is by her side and the two could not be more perfectly matched but he seemed to only want a friendship with her but is that all she wants? As Jet helps her navigate her way through all the sorrow and helps her put all the pieces together again he realises that there could be more for them. Now all he has to do is convince her.

I look forward to seeing what will come next from M.L.

Friend by ML Sparrow is book three of the What Happens on Campus series. This book may be difficult for some readers as it deals with sensitive subjects but it was very well written. This book is a friends to lovers college romance and it has it all. There’s friendship, drama, emotion and so much more.

Terri is the reliable, stable twin. She’s never really had to ask for help and now that she has to, it’s not as easy as one would think. To help herself move on from the experience she wants so badly to move past, she decides to stay back from spring break but so does Jet, her best friend. He really wants to help her anyway he can. As he begins spending more time with her, he starts noticing things that he didn’t see before. He starts seeing Terri in a new light. Will he be able to convince Terri that his feelings are real and not just a way to make her feel better?

This was such a good book. I was pulled into the story and couldn’t put it down until I was done! It was so well written and the characters were fully developed. I felt they learned a lot about themselves as the story progressed, taking us on their journey. I highly recommend!

SECRETS NEVER DIE is one of those books that I read based solely on the author’s name and nothing else. I have always enjoyed the way this author tells a tale and holy moly, this was quite the tale.

This is a well plotted, intricately woven, always in motion story that holds your attention from beginning to end. There are times that I got a little lost because I was reading too fast and missed important details. I had to make myself slow down so I could absorb what was going on.

Fantastic world building, suspenseful, twists and turns abound while leaning why some SECRETS NEVER DIE.

I think this book would make a fantastic selection for a book club or dinner night discussion.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

DEVIL’S DILEMMA is Book 4 in the Satans’s Devils MC series and can absolutely be read as a standalone. While there are overlapping characters and story lines, there is enough explanation to understand what is going on.

This is a very detailed, slow paced story that mainly takes place in 5 months time. I will admit that I found myself frequently skimming because it was just too slow for me. It could just be the space I am in but the story just seemed to drag.

I have enjoyed the other stories by this author so I won’t give up on the series.

A side note… I love this cover, it feels like a more real representation of the story.

Another great book from a great author. This is the second book in the spicetopia series and it’s just as good as the first one, it is my suggestion you read the first one before you dive into this one. This book is full of temperature rising moments, great characters and emotions. This author does an exceptional job creating an original story that pulls you in and you become completely invested in the characters and the story line. I loved the idea of an adult theme park, to find out if this idea comes to life you must read this book. This author has easily become one of my favorites and I highly recommend this book.

Run from Love (Bowser Belles Book 2) by Teddy Cat Hester was a fun romantic novel that was easy to read. I loved Scarlet, Dilly, Daffy, Nick , and even young Noah. They all had excellent character development. Dilly and Daffy were portrayed as very sweet and obedient pups. They had an excellent connection with Scarlett, their owner. Scarlett had a 6 month rule when it came to dating which to me was odd but made sense as the story went on. I loved how dedicated and determined Nick was in breaking that habit. He was an excellent man and was described as being very attractive. Scarlett and Nick both made the story excellent and very enjoyable. I loved following along as they moved their “non relationship” to a new level. Such an amazing read!

San Diego Dead (Jake Wolfe #4)San Diego Dead by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

San Diego Dead is the fourth instalment in Mark Nolan’s Jake Wolfe series. You can read it as a standalone as each book has its own story BUT I would recommend you to read them in order as then you really get into Jake and his friends’/compatriots’ lives. I love how there is a story line below it all that carries on from story to story!
San Diego Dead is an action thriller that is so fast paced that it leaves you breathless! It takes Jake, our lawyer, ex-marine, and covert operative, and his ex war dog Cody after cartels, narcoterrorists, assassins and it is filled with danger and violence and murder and sharks and … what else do you need?! Add to this that the story is told from multiple point of views and I have to confess that one of the best one is through the perspective of Cody!
I understand that the romance is sort of secondary to Jake Wolfe stories, still there were moments when my heart ached when I read about the rocky patches that Jake and Sarah hit and until the last page I was there with Cody, hoping that Jake does his best to work things out with her …
This is already the fourth book of Jake and Cody’s adventures and I cannot wait what the writer will bring us next!

Battling Becklett by T Christiansen was a captivating forbidden step brother romance. I would give this book a four out of five stars. I really loved Greer’s character and could relate to her. She has this quiet introversion that is so genuine that she seems to capture everyone’s attention. I found Beckett mildly annoying with his stereotypical jock bad boy. What redeems him is an understanding of what makes such a young man so jadee. I really enjoyed the pace and struggled to put the book down.

There were times I was angry, times when I was sad and heartbroken, and then there were heartwarming times as well. When reading this book, I went on a journey that I didn’t see coming and was pleasantly surprised at how the author really made you feel for the characters as you read what is going on in their lives. There are some steamy scenes that you read about which makes the temperature in the room rise. This is a story that has characters who touched my heart and also made me laugh.

The story Run from Love (Bowser Belles Book 2) by Teddy Cat Hester is a wonderful book to read.

Scarlett is a woman who has rules. One of them is a strict 6-month rule when dating. She doesn’t do relationships or meet children. Her time with Nick is just about up and she knows that she is going to move on. Nick is a man who is up for a partnership in his job and also loves to spend time with his son and Scarlett. He knows that his time is short. Will Nick get Scarlett to break her own rules? What does the future hold for Scarlett and Nick? Read this book to find out. This story was fun to read. It had playful bantering back and forth between Nick and Scarlett as well as times when I had a smile on my face. I also loved that Scarlett’s dogs Daffy and Dilly are included in the story. I enjoy when an author not only puts animals such as dogs and cats in their story, they become a part of it. I grew to care about Nick and Scarlett with each chapter that I read and wanted them to find happiness. This is a book that will hook you in and have you glued to the pages.

He has a decision to make- one that will have far reaching consequences. What will he choose? What does fate have in store for these two? Is there any possibility of a future together? Will love win out in the end?
Lavender Fields by Natalina Reis is a little darker, more thrilling, and more intense than I had been expecting. This really made my reading experience even better than I had been expecting. There is suspense, drama, danger, violence, action, and a wonderful M/M romance.
I have read most of Ms. Reis’ books now, and loved them all- but this one is definitely one of my firm favourites!
I loved every word of this fantastic story, and I can’t wait to see what Ms. Reis has in store for us in her next book!

Thank you, Ms Reis!

Protecting His Heart : A Lawson Family Novel (Lawson Family Series Book 2) by Tracey Cramer-Kelly – Review by Caralee Loonat

Protecting His Heart (Lawson Family, #2)Protecting His Heart by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Protecting His Heart (A Lawson Family Novel #2) By Tracey Cramer-Kelly
4 stars!!!!

I have to say that even on paper a man in uniform is hot. This is the second book I have read from this author and I was not disappointed. I really find that the author has a great writing style. The characters just come off of the pages.

I could relate with some of the issues the author has in this book. I really like how she writes the real life issues into the story. I really could relate to Ian about his dad and in some respects I could relate to Rachel. There is such a great chemistry between the two as the book progresses. The author creates just enough drama along with the romance to bring a realism to the book. I really enjoyed reading this book and will read more from this author in the future.

Evil SushiEvil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Evil Sushi is the first book in the Evil Sushi series. The ending leaves it open for the next book.

I loved the creativity of this story. This book encompasses several genres which makes for an entertaining read. I wasn’t sure what to expect because the blurb was a bit vague, but the intrigue of it all kept me reading. I finished the book in just a few hours because I couldn’t put it down.

I will say that I had a challenge liking the Sally character. I’m not sure what it was about her that gave me difficulty, but it didn’t affect the overall story enough for me to stop reading.

I’m definitely looking forward to the second book!!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Star
A Dark Sparrow Box Set (Dark Sparrow Series Books 1-3) by India Kells is the first three books in the Dark Sparrow Series. These books will draw you in from the beginning and you will find yourself lost in the pages and trying to figure out what happens next. There is plenty of suspense and romance to keep you on the edge of your seat. Each book is about a different brother and the women that grabs their heart. I highly recommend reading this box set. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Protecting His Heart (Lawson Family, #2)Protecting His Heart by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Protecting His Heart: a Lawson Family Novel (Lawson Family Series Book 2) by
Tracey Cramer-Kelly. Once again this author wrote a story that me completely hooked. From page one I knew I’d love Ian and Rachel’s story. Each having their own troubles to face. These characters were so easy to feel connected to. The writing is smooth and well paced never feeling rushed or lacking. This story is one that hits a bit close to home and my heart so that helped. This book was just as amazing as book one, and honestly maybe my favorite but don’t tell book one! If you’re looking for a story that pulls you in from the get go go get this one! Five stars all the way.
