Scarlet Fever (A Johnny Delarosa Thriller Book 1) by David Stever 5++ stars
I absolutely loved this book. I love a good mystery, a good suspense and this delivered on it all. I had my suspicions on who and why but it did keep me guessing until the end. These characters were great and the writing made me feel like I was right there with Johnny. I don’t want to say anything that will give this away but i will say, this story had me hooked from beginning to end, and I can’t wait to read more about Johnny and his jobs.

Playing with Fire (Moore Family Saga Book 2) by Michele Sims – Review by Cindy Mayberry
I really like the idea of supernatural beings living together in a hotel. It’s kind of like a mix between Altered Carbon and the adults from Harry Potter. With that those types of shenanigans bouncing around in my brain, this particular story was more serious that I imagined it would be, but that’s not a bad thing. It was really hard to not think of Link in a little green tunic and hat, and I really wanted him to call Ommily Zelda at least once. But she’s more like Shiek, in that Ommily is some one I would be able to view as a fighter more quickly. The first couple sentences grab you with the odd details that make everything more real. I could see the puckering in the wallpaper, I could SEE Ommily moving from painting to painting. Ashley Pagano’s writing style is a bit odd but dang, if she doesn’t pull me along with ease.

The Gauntlet by Ashley Pagano is the first book in “The Soppranaturale Series”. I was drawn into the story immediately and did not want it to end. This is a quick read but worth the time. Ommily and Link are tasked with defeating the Gauntlet. Will they work together and win? I really enjoyed the characters of Ommily and Link. The two are different but similar in some aspects. I like that the two of them have powers that work together. This makes them a powerful team. Also, the other characters at the Soppranaturale are interesting as well. I look forward to more in this series and where the story will go in the future.

Scarlet Fever: A Crime Thriller by David Stever is an exciting and fast paced book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I read a lot of crime books and really enjoy the genre but this is the first book in a long time that felt like a good old fashioned crime story for you to sink your teeth into. A lot of the time now it feels like authors are trying too hard to make the story complex but with this book the author does a great job of keeping you, as the reader, engaged without making everything too complicated. The story had a great gangster feel to it. The good guys were good and the bad guys were bad. You had that sense of what is right and what is wrong throughout the whole book. This is the type of book that you really get behind the characters and what to help solve the mystery. This was the first book that I have read by this author and I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to exploring more of his work.

The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series is a short paranormal story of characters who are vampire, shape-shifters, witches and fae. The two main characters are the last two fae and this tells of them finding each other in a supernatural safe haven which is a hotel where they all live and work. I enjoyed this book. I found it intriguing from the start. I wish there was more detail of how the hotel got started but I’m sure it will be in the other series, hopefully. I will keep reading the rest of the series to find out!

Scarlet Fever by David Stever a four-star read that will set you a on fire. This is my first read by this author, but it wont be my last, I always enjoy a good crime thriller and this was good, it has a darkness that you don’t often see now, it harks back to when I used to read the noir thrillers that got me hooked on reading. Jonny Delarosa is such a good character; he is the epitome of the private investigator. Throw in the mega hot redhead and you have the fixings for a great story and David Stever puts all of those fixings together and create a great story.

The Fish that Climbed the Tree by Kevin Ansbro a four-star read that will stay with you. I have finished this one, but I know I haven’t stopped thinking about it. This one will stop you in your tracks and will suck you in from the start, its very complex and has a lot and I mean a lot going on but it works and will surprise you. It is an odd one as its dark but there is a lightness as well, this really is a novel of different sides, good, bad and evil. I will definitely be looking out for more from this author.

This is a short story. The author did a good job creating this part of Emma’s world for us to sink into. This is filled with drama, suspense and romance. This starts out with a bang. We meet Emma at her worst moment in life. Then we get to see her in her best. Reese is a godsend to his little neighbor. This story is one that will leave you holding your breath for the outcome.

The Trouble with Paradise was another very enjoyable read in the Madeline Dawkins series! I absolutely love Madeline and Mike – they are such an awesome team and I love reading about them and trying to solve they mysteries right alongside them. The cases that they are involved in investigating always throw up some great twists and turns – I enjoy guessing what’s going to happen and I think the author does an amazing job of keeping the suspense and mystery running through the whole story. There were also some interesting secondary characters introduced into the story too. The two cases in this story were really interesting and I enjoyed reading about how Madeline and Mike unravelled just what happened. I do really enjoy Ms Hamilton’s writing, I am always engaged in her stories straight away and my level of interest doesn’t falter over the story. I highly recommend this book and this series – they really are excellent reads!

What a cool idea for a Paranormal story! A hotel with a floor and secret area for Paranormals to be themselves. I enjoyed these characters! They were fun and full of wonder. It took me a bit to understand who and what Link was let alone why he was so curious and excited about meeting Ommily. Once I figured all that out I was golden!
The secondary characters were fun and added a lot of smiles to the story. I would have hoped each of them would have gotten their own story in future books. I think we will be finding out more and more about Link and Ommily in future books but that seems up in the air. The book ends not on a cliffhanger but leaves the reader wondering how the characters will move forward.

Miles Moore is obsessed with fire. He can’t help it—it’s in his genes. He’s also the famous performer Ari, an international hip-hop sensation. There are some negatives that come with fame—death threats and life on the road among them—but there’s also a lot of good: fast cars, fast women, international travel, and more money than he can handle. When Bella Wahlberg joins his team as the chief of marketing, she seems like the antithesis of what he’s looking for, so much so that Miles dubs her Belsa the Ice Queen. It would be unprofessional for them to get together, but more than that, she’s unavailable—and deathly afraid of fire. But as they prepare for The Fire God Tour, Miles can tell something is changing. Is he ready to commit himself to one woman? Can fire and ice come together?

There is so much more to this great quick read.Amy does a great job with her detail, I felt like I was right there with the characters. If you’re looking for a great emotional, quick read this is the one for you. Amy McKinley is quickly becoming a must read author for me. I look forward to reading more from her.
Aiko (The Heartstrings Series Book 1) by Brooke May
5-Stars
Aiko is the first book in the Heartstrings series and was an interesting read. Aiko is a Cupid who has a rocky and colorful past. She is assigned to Alejandro to help him find his match. Alejandro has a hard time with romance but has a way with animals. The two made for an invigorating read.
I loved the banter between the two main characters and also the different dates they worked through. Aiko was very to the point and Al was full of sarcasm. This book was easy to read and I could not put it down. I was at the end before I realized it. I highly recommend this fun and romantic read. I can’t wait to read more in this series. I loved it.

Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms was a creative and fascinating paranormal mystery novel featuring a young girl and her familiar. When Mia turns fifteen she gains an interesting ability and meets her familiar, a Siamese cat named Gumshoe. Together they plan to help save her families business when someone tampers with the food leading to serious poisoning cases allover town.
I loved the scenery and character development in this novel. Mia and Gumshoe made an excellent pair and I loved learning tidbits of Gumshoe’s past. I also felt that the storyline was easy to follow and that it would be appropriate for a young adult audience. I can’t wait to read more from this author and I highly recommend this book. I absolutely loved it.

A refreshing change of pace, THE GAUNTLET is a tale of magical creatures who cohabitate in a way that helps keep the mystical secrets from the human world. Like the blurb says, it’s literally hidden in plain site.
This is the first book I’ve read by the author and I enjoyed the way ze wrote. Great world building, wonderful relationship development, humor, suspense and all around great writing.
I was able to read this in one sitting and absolutely recommend it. **** review by @mauraharper

Scarlet Fever (A Johnny Delarosa Thriller Book 1) by David Stever was a thrilling mystery that had my hooked, and on the edge of my seat.
My first read from this author I was stopped in my tracks by the cover, which drew me to the synopsis, and you can say the rest is history. It didn’t take me long to get sucked into this drama, and I have to say, I was quite impressed with the writing, detail and the dark grittiness, that almost takes you back to those old PI books from your parents closet. I will say there was some predictability to it, but in all it was a well crafted read, that keep me hooked and engaged.
Overall this book is worth your time and energy. The characters are smooth, cool and alluring. The setting is dangerous but a little sexy, and the tone matches the plot and setting perfectly. The side and supporting characters rounded out the story, and made it realistic and entertaining. The mystery was fun and full of danger, it kept me guessing and wondering if our MC will bight it. A little nail biting action, and the fear that maybe this author might actually do it, will keep you flipping the pages.
To end this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

This is the first book I have read from this author and wow she blew me away. I have not read a spiritual book in a long time. This book gave me peace about life. When I started this book I could not put it down. The writing style made you feel like she was talking to you personally. It only took me a couple of hours to devour this incredible book.
This book is short stories that the author documented for a full year. She walks you through all kinds of different spiritual ideas and things to look for. This book will make you feel good and special. This author will have you thinking about your life and the decisions that you make. I’m so happy that I read this book. I can’t wait to see what this talented author will write about next.
