Kingdom of the Hunters (Relic Hunters Book 6) by Martin Ferguson. This is the 6th and final installment in the Relic Hunter series and I have to say I’m a little sad its ending. In this book Matt and Adam Hunter find the lost city of Atlantis. In this book they find out what actually happened to their father and when the rest of their enemies attack the lost city they fight to save it. Duncan finally finds out who his mother is and even though the fate of the British Museum is left undecided I’m hopeful! This series is so fun and exciting full of mythology, treasure hunting, finding out fates and mystery. I have loved every word. Its geared toward young adults but I truly enjoyed it. I do recommend reading these in order to get a better understanding of the characters and their stories. Just a warning when you start this book you won’t want to put it down until you are done!

Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse Audio Book (The Forerunner Series, Book 1) by Jay Veloso Batista – Review by Bobbi Wagner

This is my first audio book by this author which I enjoyed listening to.  It will take you on an adventure that you won’t soon forget.  I enjoyed how the narrator used different tones to make the characters come to life.  I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start.   The growth of the characters is great and I enjoyed how supportive they are of each other. A story that took me on an adventure that is full of action. It is a journey of an emotional connection that made the story hard to stop listening to.  I look forward to picking up another audio by this author.  I highly recommend this audiobook.

This is not my first audio by this author but it is one of my favorites yet.  It is easy to listen to and hard to stop.  I enjoyed the narrator and how they made the story come to life.  I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It is a suspenseful story that is entertaining and brings mystery to a new level.  What will happen when you have a missing girl and a boyfriend and a race against time to find them before it is too late. This is an audio you don’t want to miss.  I really enjoyed listening to this audio.  I highly recommend this audiobook.

I was so excited to get back into this story and these characters. This series has been brilliant so far and this book is a fantastic addition. It was hard going into this story knowing it was the conclusion of the book and yet I couldn’t stop myself from reading it so quickly. This book was exciting and fast paced and I loved watching the characters develop even further. After six books, you expect to have seen everything from them and yet they all seemed to give so much more.
I have enjoyed every single moment of this series and I am sad that this is the conclusion. But the best way to get over this is to read them all again. I would highly recommend not only this book but this whole series to any YA fan.

This book is an original story that offers a unique perspective on life. Every part of it is focused on the characters – their journey, what they go through, the narrative surrounding them. You can’t help but become invested in them.
This is a new author to me and I really enjoyed how different this book felt most others I have read recently. It is a book that really makes you think and draws you in bit by bit. It has certainly piqued my interest about his writing style and has made me want to explore it more. This is a great book and a wonderful way to discover a new author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first read by this author. I’m looking forward to reading the previous 2 books in this series, followed by the fourth. This can be read as a standalone but I’m very interested in a deeper background on some of the characters in here.

Janey hands $300 to her brother and finds herself in a new location once the effect of the drugs she was given wear off. She wakes up in an unfamiliar place but not to completely unfamiliar voices and faces. Her captors want her brother and she has no idea where he is.

This book is super suspenseful, has some romance, lots of action and adventure, and a story that will keep you engaged throughout!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 6th and final book in the Relic Hunters series. I won’t lie I am a little devastated that this is the last book as I have thoroughly enjoyed them all. The author has written an amazing series that has truly captivated me. Their attention to detail in the historical and mythology elements as well as the action and adventure in the present day really meant I couldn’t put them down.

We are back with Matt and Adam as they search for their father uncovering myths that they never imagined existed. This is really a moving and heart wretching story as we finally learn what happened to their dad all those years ago.
The brothers have a lot to deal with. As well as the dangerous and heartbreaking journey they are on to discover the truth they are also fighting a danger closer to home as their enemies chase them down. Will Adam and Matt be able to save everything that their father and they have worked to protect at the British Museum? What other secrets will be uncovered?

I don’t want to give to much of the story away but I do recommend reading them from the beginning of the series. If you love history and mythology then you will love this series.

A new author to me and a sub genre that I have not read before. I would read more by this author.<br />The characters are well written and the world building is done so that you feel you are part of the story.<br />Cutter is SoA of his MC and Emily is a Detective. <br />Not only do they have a difference of opinion where their lifestyles and work lives are involved but they have a niche need for their personal lives, they are involved in a DDLG relationship and the past issues that Emily has been through she needs the comfort that a daddy dom can bring.<br />Add suspense, chemistry, angst and the story keeps you interested till the end

Another smashing action packed romantic suspense story in this series! This one falls under the best friend little sister category, which I love. The characters are well done, believable and made me fall for them. We get to see a lot of the team which makes them more “known” quantities instead of just a flat one dimensional until their story pops up. This is very well done and I look forward to seeing more in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was hooked by the title as my inner crazy cat lady couldn’t resist. I might also add I was pleasantly surprised and delighted with the author’s world she has created. This being the first book by this author that I have read and it certainly won’t be my last. I occasionally love a good mystery and this series just ticks all my boxes. The author is able to spin a tale that keeps the reader glued to their seats and eager for what is going to happen. I felt that the characters were really well written and the whole concept was absolutely addicting. I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I am a very eager kitty to read it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

  1. Kingdom of the Oceans, Relic Hunters Book 6, the final installment by Martin Furgusen was an absolutely incredible book. I have been with this series since around 2018, and I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Martin you have truly outdone yourself. I have loved every single one of the Relic Hunters installments, and this one just takes the cake. Everything wrapped up in a perfect bow, with the possibility of more, and I really really really hope there is more someday! I recommend this series in its entirety, all 6 books are incredible action adventures that build up to this beautiful ending. I do recommend reading them all in order, however I would be careful, because once you start you won’t want to put Martin’s work down until you’ve finished the 6th book! Thank you Martin for a truly incredible experience!

Savage Lies (Hidden Valley Elite #1)Savage Lies by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Savage Lies (Hidden Valley Elite Book 1) by Isla Vaughn is a great new adult romance series

She was meant to be safe by relocating to a new place and assuming a new name. Breaking: It didn’t. Rather, it thrust her into the most perilous situation conceivable. Cole Savage’s visual range.Just one of four members of the untouchable elite, stupid and perfect. They are football stars at the Academy, revered by their peers as gods. And he made her a target from the very first day of school. All due to a single, foolish kiss.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings us into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first collection I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. I love reading small town romance but she exceeded all my expectations. This collection has seven books about an amazing family, the Rocklyns. I could not stop reading this family. Every book was about a different family member and who their one was. This set had all the tropes you could want: grumpy and sunshine, second chance, and my favorite forbidden love. It took me a few days but I did get through all of the books and I loved them all in their own way. This set was a steal and it was really good and you will love all of the characters as well. I also loved how she ended the series. I could see this as a tv show for sure. I can’t wait to see what she will write next.
The box set comes with

Murder She Meowed (Bookshop Kitties Mysteries Book 2)Murder She Meowed by Ruth J. Hartman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A must-read mystery series, with amazing characters and kitties too! This book was a great mystery read, I loved that the kitties were such a big part of the storyline in solving the mystery. The characters were so down to earth, and personable, they are just like people you’d find in a small town living anywhere in the world. The budding romances in the side stories are just darling, it gives the story a feel-good touch to the story. The fact that we start with a wedding and a murder was so exciting, this story got started right off, and throughout you get hints and clues that help you work to solve the who-done-it right along with our main characters. This was like a great mystery read with a set of kitties who help solve the mystery and play a huge role in finding out who the killer is. The details that the author put into writing this book made it what it was, it helped build up the storyline. Especially with all the different side scenarios in the different character’s lives, it made solving the mystery even more exciting right to the end. This book was the second book in the Bookshop Kitties Mystery series but was the first book that I read. It worked amazingly as a standalone novel, but I am looking forward to going back and reading the first book in the series. I am looking forward to hearing when the next book will be coming out because there are a lot of side romances that are just starting to develop, that are waiting to be continued.

Hard-working Selene is a gambling addict who works hard but has a hard time keeping a job due to the vibe she gives off. Down on her luck, having just lost her most recent job and home, Selene gets a crazy streak of luck. A job where you get room and board on a tropical island and unlimited use of the amenities? What’s the catch? There’s a mask rule and rumors of a curse. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but I quickly fell into the book and Selene’s situation and could not put the short book down!

Fade into the Night: Philly Heat Series, #5

This series has done a great job keeping me hooked. This book went by too fast while at the same time not fast enough. I had to know who the killer was.

Sadie and Noah reconnect and that seems to be the last good thing to happen to them. I want to expand on this but I can’t really without spoiling the book and that is the absolute last thing I want to do.

I was quite surprised by everything from the second chapter on and I loved it. I always try and figure out how things are going go and this one kept me guessing until the reveal.

I look forward to reading more books (fingers crossed from this series) by Ms. Flade

4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Cutter is Book 1 in the Devils’ Spawn Daddies series, bringing me into a different world of DDLG, and this is truly my first DDLG story I have ever read. Danger, intrigue, BDSM, sexy chemistry with angst this story really kept me wanting to turn the pages and want more. I am no stranger to this author and the story really caught my attention….

Cutter and Emily are drawn to each other in so many ways. Cutter is part of the Devils’ Spawn MC while Emily is a rookie detective trying to find her way up the ladder and gain some respect. Emily’s plan is to gain Cutters trust and reaches out to help her take down some new local MC that is just plain bad news…knowing that Cutter is always a “protector”. In the midst of everything, Cutter cannot get Emily out of his head and brings out the Daddy Dominant in him and he wants Emily in more ways than one.

Will Cutter and Emily be able to get what they both want in the end between down a very bad MC while also exploring more in the DDLG world….definitely read and find out if you are as intrigued as I was…..

happy reading 🙂

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Daaaaang, what a spicy cupcake. Victoria Saccenti has such an amazing way of building suspense, and her stories pull you in so deep you finish it thinking wait it the end already I just started. Dual perspectives Cutter and Emily.
Emily Mayhew is a junior detective in a small Georgia town. As a female the two older male detectives don’t have confidence in her or see her as equal to them. When a case that could earn her, some well-deserved respect presents itself to her she jumps on it, taking it as her baby to see to the end. Cutter is the sergeant at arms in the Devils’ Spawn MC, once known as a one-percenter MC their president Blade is done with that reputation and wants to rejoin the AMA (American Motorcycle Association). At the request of Detective Mayhew, Cutter is taken to the station to have a conversation with her. Instantly the memories of four years early flood them both and their deepest desires right in front of them. Both have been living rent free in the others’ dreams over the past four years and neither is willing to miss the chance of having more when presented before them. The only thing standing in their way, the Sons of Chaos, and their ties to the Oquendo cartel. Chaos will ruin the small town they have moved into, and the cartel is known for three things the running of drugs, guns, and humans. Determined to take them down before everyone suffers the fallout, Emily recruits Cutter to infiltrate Chaos for information. Quickly their intimate relationship finally comes true, but Emily has a stubborn streak and a desire to prove herself no matter the risk to herself if she gets what she wants.
Will Emily be able to survive her bratty determination? Can Cutter get there in time to save her? What will happen with the dust settles? They are each other’s mate to their souls and yet a side of Emily is determined to prove he is no different than the men of her past. Push him too hard he will run but when he doesn’t, she gets conniving and reckless. These characters are both flawed, broken and hungry for the love of the other. The author’s talent in making such complex, infuriating, and caring characters was an amazing joy to read and honestly, I went from aww, to growling at times because of frustration with what was happening. My eyes will certainly be peeled for the next installment in this incredibly spicy and intriguing new series. Fingers crossed for Barron and Yoanni’s story next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Curse of the Forbidden Island isn’t what I expected. The cover art is what drew me in, I didn’t really know what the story was about, but I’ve read others by this author that I liked. The author is great with words, painting a picture with them. This was a good book, with a unique story line. It is very short- I read it in one sitting, but it is satisfactory, and wraps up as a full story. We get to know the history of the island, it’s curse and the reason for the masks. It was a little more…. graphic, and steamy than I expected- but that warning is in the synopsis.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am so NOT okay with that ending. Seriously?! I was not prepared for a cliff hanger. There better be a followup book! I loved The Other Side of Together, and did not want to put it down. However, it did turn a little deeper than I expected. In the beginning I was talking it up to my 14 year old, saying how I thought she would love it. But now I’m second guessing because it was not the light-hearted teen love story I expected. Mei Li and Marcus develop a strong bond, very quickly. They are practically neighbors, but grew up totally different lives. Mei Li feels obligated to make choices, to keep her family safe. But perhaps her parents don’t even want the same things for her, we don’t know the whole story yet. I knew Nick was a bad guy, but it went beyond what I expected. And now I want to know how everyone else is involved. Not so patiently awaiting a continued story….
