My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Its a great book for kids to learn about dog care. My son wants to hide treats for our cat and read stories to her now. He loved seeing all the different types of dogs. The dog safety tips at the end were a nice addition. The illustrations were beautiful and colorful. The kids in the book spoke more like adults but the story is great and we loved it.

Nessie and the Living Stone (Nessie’s Grotto) by Lois Wickstrom and Jean Lorrah – Review by Mary Espinoza

Nessie and the Living Stone (Nessie's Grotto)Nessie and the Living Stone by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I haven’t found a book by Lois Wickstrom that I haven’t enjoyed reading! Her books are extremely informative and beautifully illustrated! Nessie and the Living Stone is no different than any of her other children’s books, it is informative, entertaining and full of beautiful illustrations. In this book we dive into a chapter book for children that has adventure and mystery. I no longer have little ones, but I do enjoy reading these books to my younger nieces and nephews.
There are monsters, magic stones, and valuable lessons, “Nessie and the Living Stone” and all of this offers an enjoyable read for kids of any age. So, pick up a copy for your young ones and take a trip on an unexpected journey to see if Loch Ness remains a mysterious creature or if Nessie and all of the magic that comes with Nessie is found!

The Alien & the Crime BossThe Alien & the Crime Boss by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Naomi Valkyries new book The Alien & The Crime Boss is about an alien mafia romance tale.
I have read quite a few of Naomi’s books and there has not been one that I have not found entertaining! I like the way she makes the characters have huge personalities and I enjoy reading about their different backgrounds. In this book, we are introduced to Leilphun and we find out that he is alone and, on the run, and that it may be safer for him to stay on a brand-new world that to try to stay on his. Although Earth doesn’t exactly roll out the red carpet for him, he finds that this is an intriguing planet and is not at all what he had in mind. Leilphun finds himself in a battle of trying to see if he stays in fight or flight mode or does he find happiness on this newfound planet he has landed on. The only way to find out what happens is to pick up a copy of Naomi’s newest book and read it for yourself…I don’t think you will be one bit disappointed!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 8th book in the series but can be read as a standalone. This is a sweet marriage of convenience story full of drama, angst, and historical atmosphere. We follow Dorothy as she rediscovers herself after being unexpectedly widowed. This is not a romance I would normally read but I really enjoyed my time reading this historical romance.

Lies That Bind (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 6)Lies That Bind by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Logan and her cases are like aging red wine , it just gets better with time 😉 also each book deals with subject/s that many won’t touch as they’re seen as taboo and they’re dealt with in a honest yet empathetic manner which makes reader see things from a different view , we “ see” what people are going through and their very real struggles .

Logan and Ben have just bought their first home together and there’s a lot of TLC needed ( that can make or break a relationship 🤣🙈)Logan is also going to meet her sister for the first time but before they can even really start their sibling journey , a young woman is found dead in the pool of their family hotel and they set out to investigate what happened to her …..

Well o tell you what I walked away from resting this with a very strong reminder that secret’s never stay that way , they have a way of coming out wether in your life time or generations later and fond of the forefather are passed down that’s for sure ! Logan ,girl you’re a magnet for trouble , it always seems to find you and you always seem to walk away reasonably unscathed 🤷‍♀️😉 till next time Logan 😉

Dreamscape (J.J. Morris)Dreamscape by J.N. Sheats
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Joey is a young woman in her first year of college at Portstown and it is tough going for her and her straight A record has fallen to a C if she is lucky, but she can’t catch a break to study when she is still reeling from the events of the year before. After the fallout from the Great Hunt and the attack on her friend group, she has been immersed in a world that is hidden from most and she has no real enjoyment of it, it just beings stress and exhaustion.

That isn’t the only thing, which is exhausting her, she has been having strangely vivid dreams and most recently nightmares, but she has nobody she can talk to about it, so she just keeps it all her to herself, however, one night when she wakes again screaming from another nightmare to the sights and smells of a fire on campus. She is drawn to see it, but she is also feeling strange when she does, but she still cannot stop watching, at least until she is by force.

As Joey continues to try and study, she is also working in the college library, this is where she also decides to do some research into the fire and her dreams, but she finds nothing on the internet and is definitely frustrated by it. Unfortunately, things just become more distracting as one of the mysterious Warner Guardians starts to investigate and soon people start to go missing, students from the college and more fires pop up.

Joey knows that the only thing she can do to try and figure out how everything is connected is to bite the bullet and go visit the friends and ask for their help, but will she be able to face the guilt associated with them and be albe to solve the mysterious fires and missing students, all while trying to pass her finals? This is a fantasy which is full of fiery content, stubborn teens and one nasty Dream Conductor, as a tangled web is unravelled to reveal the truths hidden beneath the facade of normality of Portstown and its inhabitants.

There is a new ghost in town and Lauren wants to lend a helping hand. She knows that ghosts come either good or bad. While she is only trying to help it sets off events that are becoming catastrophic not only to her school but her friendships. She must learn to navigate the fine line between loyalty to her ghost bestie, Grace, and her commitment to saving her school. There is a big show coming up at the old theater in town, but that is being jeopardized by all the mischief caused by a few ghosts. Will Lauren and her friends be able to get these ghosts to leave? Or will they be forced to cancel the show? While this story seems to be aimed at a younger audience, ages from about 9 to 14, it was a fun read. Even though I have children in the age range I have stated I did enjoy this story.

Lela and Hamish have both had tragedy in their lives and this has made them want to stay away from being involved. They first met when Lela hopped on a plane from Austrailia to Malta in search of her niece. She suspects her father has played a role in her niece’s sudden departure, but she can’t be sure. She is also unsure whether or not she can trust Hamish as her father has employed him. In the end she reluctantly decides to work with him. Working in such close proximity they start to become close and start revealing things that they had meant to keep to themselves while slowly giving in to their mutual attraction. This was a good book and the author definitely knows how to keep the readers turning the pages.

Hidden Scars (Jade #1)Hidden Scars by A. Akinosho
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reading Jade (Hidden Scars) by A. Akinosho (who im reading for the first time) I enjoyed it. The age gap ages kinda threw me at first being 16 and 26 but it turned out okay. Other than that it was good, it’s filled with drama,insecurities, healing, hope and jealousy from outside sources trying to keep them apart. It was a decent size read for me, about 350 pages. Though I read it in one day because I didn’t want to put it down at all, even though it put me through an emotional rollercoaster ride. I’m already about to go read the second one right now tbh 😂 i already got it from kindle unlimited. I can’t wait to read it, especially with the cliffhanger. I need to know what happens. I hope the next ones doesn’t also lmao 😣 😂 I need more from this awesome author.

If you are looking for a book that will suspense, thrills, and romance while leaving you smiling and wanting to keep turning the pages, then this book is for you!

Lela’s Choice by Jennifer Raines follows the stories of Lela as she travels to Malta to look for her missing niece and boyfriend, and Hamish, the lawyer hired by Lela’s father to help her find them. But along they way, they may find more than they bargained for.

I loved the fact that the characters seemed real, flawed, and nuanced but still kept the lighthearted feel of a romance while still dealing with hard topics like loss, familial drama, devastaing loss and the barriers trust issues create. The book felt real and left you feeling like love can flourish in the times that you least expect it. You just have to find a way to trust yourself as well as others. This is my second book by this author, and I can’t wait to pick up another.

Happy Reading!

It wasn’t until I finished this book that I found out it was book two of a series. I think that maybe reading the first would have really pulled the story together for me. I found I was a little lost with a few things that were happening and told in the book, which I felt were probably addressed in the first book. But besides that, this book was good and so well written that I will be going back and reading the first book. This book was filled with so much action, adventure, supernatural, paranormal suspense. Mystery and so much more. This book was very well written and was so filled with imaginative story that I felt like I was right there with the characters myself. Joey finds a world of paranormal and she’s not sure how to come to the reality of the real world. This book really had me hooked thou from the beginning, and o couldn’t put it down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kingston Vaughn Winter saw a chance to finally have Ava Bella Blue in his grasps, kidnapping and holding her captive while her brother neglects to pay his debt. King finds himself enjoying Ava’s attempts to leave, in some ways she is just as ruthless as he is. King finds himself being protective with Ava but when she is put in danger on his watch he will do everything he can to claim her as his.

The blurb was what pulled my attention on this story. It is dark and once you start reading you cannot put it down. I liked Ava, she could have easily rolled over and waited for what happens but she gives King a run for his money. Great chemistry, can’t wait for the second book.

Hope for a New World is Book 1 in the Hope Series that sparks Sci Fi Fantasy that takes place more in the future. This story was good and I really do appreciate the list of characters at the beginning as there are quite a few. I liked the story overall, parts were a bit complex for me (that is on me) and keeping track of all the POVs…..this story did take me time to read. In all, the strength of the women to heal due to the environment of Earth being destroyed by pollution and power….it sends a message.

This was a unique and intriguing read…I am looking forward to what the author brings next to the series.

This was a great read for both of my kids and me! I know it is aimed towards a younger audience, but I thought the writing and flow of the story was superb. I did not read the previous three books in the series which I think was a mistake on my part. I felt a bit lost initially but picked up on things after a while. I recommend reading them in order to avoid confusion and gain a better understanding of the characters. Lauren and her friends seem to find themselves in quite the adventure that is not all fun and games. There are mischievous things happening around the school and their show is at risk of being cancelled. I truly loved reading this fun book with my kids and plan on picking the others up now!

Fun and enjoyable cozy mystery with quite the characters! Although this story is more geared toward 11-18 years of age, I can say even the young at heart can enjoy this story. This book is set in the
1930’s as we meet Sparky and be taken in on a who done it mystery….

Sparky, an 11 year old street smart girl, is on her own living in the streets due to her own cousins leaving her behind.

Sparky is on the run and all fingers are pointing in her direction, even from her own “friends”…..Sparky tries to find out whom is responsible for this death and clear her name.

That being said, I am absolutely going back to read the first book, Lineage, right this moment because this author knows how to write a captivating read! I think I will probably enjoy the series much more having read the beginning as well. The way these scenes are painted brings so much to life and it is creatively vivid in every way! Joey is in college when incredibly strange things begin happening, like fires on campus and people going missing. What follows is nothing short of a wonderfully engaging and thoroughly entertaining book that you won’t be able to put down. I’ve picked up the first book so I can fully catch up before the next in the series arrives!

Logan is back with her regular partners in life and new cast members, as well. Will she be able to figure out who is friend and who is foe before it’s too late? The new cool thing I learned a ton about in this addition to the series is crabbing! As the story starts, we are told there is a murder aboard a fishing boat. Will that prove to be the truth? As a second murder occurs, Logan and the small Oregon town she resides in are shaken, and even more so when Logan’s friend Sam is accused of being the murderer! While he swears innocence, the investigation finds the path they follow lead right to him. Logan and co jump in to find the truth of the matter and hopefully help her friend.

In addition to her friend being accused of, and looking good for, the murder, one of Logan’s sweet young students father goes missing. Her immigrant family is worried and in danger of what may happen to he and them.

Another outstanding offer in the world of Logan McKenna. I love that each part of the series offers new things to learn about, and in this one it’s the world of crabbing. As usual, Logan is a strong and capable female lead who cares about others and always wants to help. Also as usual, her intense focus tends to lead her to a point in which she is one of the people in danger herself. Quick, great read. This can be a standalone and enjoyed easily, but it is even better when read as the series.
