This is book 4 in the Amberwood Hall Ballet School Series. This has been a great series for readers young and old alike. The author does an amazing job with the story making it unique and different and filled with twists and turns you don’t see coming. I would recommend reading these books in order so you get a full picture of all the characters. The mixture of a old haunted school, ghosts who are fun and and witty as well as the normal teenagers makes this a store that will keep you entertained.
We are back with Lauren and her school friends as well as her ghost friends Grace and Rodney. Lauren thinks she is doing a good thing when she rescued a ghost from a building that was about to be torn down. However this ghost isn’t all that she seems and when strange and dangerous things start happening at Applewood Hall, Lauren needs to figure out who is responsible and why. But will this be the one thing that puts a huge wedge between Lauren and her ghost friend Grace? Can Lauren rid the school of the spirit causing all the trouble or will it be too late.

Hayden was shot by a homeless man. His horse brought him to Ruby’s cabin, where he was last conscious. Due to a blizzard, she bandaged his shoulder and tied his horse to the porch. She was hiding from her past with Marcus. As snow continues to fall, Seth calls Mark to tell him that Hayden is missing. The last time he had been seen was the previous morning, when he went to check the far pasture fences before the storm. Meanwhile, Forest had come into the station, claiming he had shot a ghost on a horse. Unable to get a clear story, Sheriff Latham had Forest committed for alcohol treatment and mental health. Several days pass before the weather clears enough for Hayden to ride his horse home. Ruby and Hayden bonded closely during the stay. After exchanging numbers, Hayden called when he had a signal and was met by his brother Mark, Whitney, and his parents. He told them what had happened. It was determined that Forest had mistakenly shot Hayden. Whitney interviewed Ruby to conclude their report. Ruby started packing her suitcases to continue with her plans to drive to Kansas. As she was preparing to leave, Marcus kicked the door in. She backed into the kitchen as he told her that she was his and wasn’t allowed to leave him. Ruby stabbed his shoulder and fled the cabin, running into the woods in just a sweater, leggings, and shoes. Ruby called Hayden while hiding in the woods. After describing her surroundings, Hayden rode across his ranch and found Ruby. He brought her back to his home. She pleaded for him not to pursue Marcus. He agreed and assured her that she was safe. The following day, Ruby reported what had happened. Whitney brought her car and belongings to the ranch. Marcus had tried to follow, but gave up. He left Wyoming and stayed at Congressman Dixon’s home. The Congressman owed Marcus for his lavish lifestyle. Marcus told the Congressman he was going to bring Ruby back home to Orlando. When Marcus receives a call with information about Ruby’s location, Congressman Dixon and his wife take an impromptu vacation to Hawaii This story has plenty of steamy scenes; however, Sara Vinduska adds several subplots involving Sheriff Latham and his past, Mark and Whitney’s marriage, and several other supporting characters. The plot is intriguing and full of suspense. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and their interactions are relatable. I enjoyed how the investigations and actions of the police were realistic. There weren’t any superhero-style rescues, which made the story even more appealing. The details were vivid, and I could picture the peaceful scenery on the Goddard Ranch. While this is part of a series, Renewed: Fateful Justice is capable of being a standalone romance. I would recommend this five-star story to readers who enjoy romantic suspense stories involving cowboy ranch life.
“Carrie’s Flight” by Lois Wickstrom is a heartwarming and magical children’s book that beautifully explores the bond between generations and the power of love. The story follows young Carrie, who discovers a set of antique wings belonging to her Grandma. Determined to reunite with her Grandma, who has moved across town, Carrie embarks on an enchanting adventure to make the wings fly and reach Grandma’s new house.
What truly shines in “Carrie’s Flight” is the emphasis on the power of love. Carrie’s determination to reach her Grandma and the bond they share is beautifully portrayed. The shared moments of watching starlings together create a magical atmosphere, further highlighting the importance of love and connection between family members.
The illustrations in the book are delightful, adding an extra layer of charm to the story. They effectively capture the emotions and the magic of Carrie’s journey, enhancing the overall reading experience.
Orenda is the second book in The Latitude Series and a continuation of the Antipodes Series. Orenda continues the story of Caitlin and Giovanni. Caitlin is sent to fulfill her roll as ambassador to Canda while Sera goes to Japan with Matto. She must overcome the challenge of being in a new place and position while being young and still learning.
There is so much growth in this book, maybe even more than the first one. What makes T.S. Simons narration powerful is her characters going through unfortunate events and growing through the trauma. She writes each character as imperfectly perfect people. They are trying to live in societies that are self-sustaining but with new problems that they must solve and face to continue surviving. I love the message I get out of this series that time is too short, live in the moment, and live a sustainable lifestyle. I highly recommend reading Orenda and the entire Antipodes Series! I can’t wait for Bifrost, the next book in The Latitude Series!

I was expecting a long story but this short read was still fun regardless.
Traveling to Italy, Genie Darling goes in search of departed great aunt belongings that were sold in auction. What was supposed to be a luxurious vacation, is now a horror movie.
The auction house because an inferno and the dress of her late aunt, is also found in a pile of ash.
When a dead body is found, a mystery begins and Genie will need her Aunt to help her solve it.
It has been a while since I last read a cozy mystery. Cozy mysterious series tend to be repetitive and cause me to think that after so many bodies are found in this town, it is time to move. So the relocation to Italy, opened a vast amount of opportunities where the story and characters would not feel restricted.
The story forced me to laugh out loud a few times. I see that there are a few books in the series so I plan to read those while I wait for another installment, if there are any.

This is an author that I enjoy reading and never hesitate to pick up their books. I enjoy how they use details to give the story a realistic feel. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first book as well as it is that great a series. It will also help you enjoy this author’s writing style. This is a well written story about Joey and the school she attends. What will happen when a fire turns out to be more than just a prank. People are going missing what is happening and what does one have to do with the other? I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world. They are strong, connective characters that kept me engaged to the end. I enjoyed what they brought to the story which made it easy to read. They have great growth throughout which makes it hard to put down. I enjoyed reading this fast paced story. I highly recommend this book.
Dreamscape is the second exciting book in the JJ Morris series. I really enjoyed the first book and was so excited when I saw this book. This is a thrilling supernatural, paranormal suspense and mystery story for YAs, but older readers will enjoy too. JN’s cleverly woven narrative draws you in as we journey along every step of the way. The storyline is intense, and the characters are well written. There is lots of danger, suspense, action, mystery, paranormal occurrences. The story had you feeling so many different emotions, ups and downs, highs, and lows with so many twists and turns that keeps you guessing till the very end. Joey is back on campus and things are not what they seem. This could be something far more dangerous than she has faced before. What is stalking her in her dreams? What is real and what is not? Will she get the life she wants? You will have to read it to find out. This explosive and imaginative tale is full of twisted intentions, mysterious fires, guardians, violent dreams, and missing people making easy to get lost in the mayhem and madness. If you enjoy things with a little supernatural you will definitely enjoy this book. I cannot wait to see where things go next.
This is a cute story to read. It is well written and fun to read. It is a story about a young boy who starts to feel something funny inside him. When he realizes it is magic, he now has to decide to embrace it or find it a curse. This young boy is a great character. I enjoyed watching him try to sort out his emotions. He is a strong character that any older child would enjoy reading about. There is great plot growth which just added to this child’s story. I enjoyed reading it. This is a great fantasy story that I highly recommend.

Carrie’s Flight is a sweet fun filled children’s story. It is filled with beautiful illustrations that bring the story to life. In true Lois fashion it is not just a story it is also teaches you something and, in this case, it is birds and flight. Children of all ages will love this tale of a young girl Carrie who finds antique wings. Just thinking about all the dreams, they could imagine when reading about flying. I mean who hasn’t dreamt of flying. This magical tale showcases the love between a grandmother and her granddaughter. I read this to my grandsons who are five and three and yes, they now want their own set of wings! A great book to gift to others and especially this time of year.
An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Lela Vella is desperate to find her missing niece and her boyfriend who have runaway to Malta, before her father does. Meanwhile Hamish McGregor, a widowed Australian international child-protection lawyer has been asked by Giovanni Vella to search for his granddaughter. Hamish is shocked when Lela sees him as one of her father’s ‘henchmen’ and the enemy. He thought he was putting the needs of a child first, like always. However, reluctantly the pair work together to search for them, navigating many false leads along the way. As the couple work together an unexpected attraction develops, but Hamish is reluctant as his pregnant wife was murdered in a revenge attack by a client’s husband. Hamish had vowed to never put another woman at risk, but Lela wants to show him that living life is all about taking risks. I loved the characters, and the chemistry between Lela and Hamish really came across in the story. The settings were brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative, and I felt like I had travelled along with Lela from Sydney to Malta.

Raining Fish and Frogs by Lois Wickstrom. This has become my favorite children’s author and I love all her books. This one is no different, it’s so good. Its the story of someone wanting fish for breakfast so they had to go fishing to try to catch some. Well there was no fish but while they were there a crazy storm came up. The water all got sucked up by the storm and it started raining. Once the rain began it was no ordinary rain, it was raining Fish and Frogs. All over the place. Then real rain came down and refilled the lake. I love these books because there is always a lesson involved and the pictures are always amazing. My nephews have loved every one of these books. They would make great presents. Its best for young elementary students!

This is the 6th book in the Fateful Justice series. I haven’t read any of the others and was able to read this book without too much confusion. When I chose this book, it was because I loved the premise of the story. I feel like it missed the mark though. While the author was trying to tell the story, she may have, at least in my opinion, gone a little hard on the cliches. Not that I don’t love a good cliche, but there is a line that crosses into too many… I also (and hear me out, because I love a good smutty book just as much as the next.) but the sex for the sake of sex was a bit excessive. I feel like maybe if it had been more sporadically used it may saved it for me. I wanted to love this book, but I had so much trouble finishing it. I do plan to try and read the other books in the series, in hopes that maybe I just need to start from the beginning to follow better.

Hope For a New World is Book One in The Hope Series. It is a sci-fi fantasy that contains the underlying message about protecting the environment. The story is told from the POV of several characters that are easy to get emotionally invested with due to their strength, courage, and determination to save mother earth. The earth has been destroyed by power, corruption, greed, and pollution. One group of strong women sets off on a mission to heal mother earth. This book had an intriguing storyline with fantasy, action, suspense, and a strong underlying message about climate change. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading Book Two.

Karina goes on a journey of self discovery, uncovering secrets Gigi kept from her including a secret lover, a stash of money and a secret sibling! I couldn’t wait to get to the end to see how it all turned out and find out of she finds answers to all her questions and if she actually finds the journal. I couldn’t put it down once I’d started it! Loved it! I’ve read a few of this author’s books and this did not disappoint! Loved it!!

The Befallen (The Unsung and The Wolf Duology) by Cambria Williams is a great dark fantasy book
Sloane, sheltered, yet persistent, believes she’s capable, and longs for everyone to see past her disabled leg. Selling at Market Day unaccompanied is the chance to prove herself. But when she returns home to her village, she’s shattered to discover the Befallen has killed everyone. Having nothing but her faith in the goddesses of the moon, she’s forced to test her strength in the outside world. Sloane realizes the kingdom is dangerous even without the Befallen: full of thieves, thugs, and, worse, heretics.Sloane is further shocked no one seems to know the entire legend, which promises a hero will defeat the Befallen. When she learns an order of knights have vowed to fulfill the legend, she’s determined to help them.
Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

Luna is a husky that loves to play and have fun. She loves the snow. She is a husky with a lot of energy and enjoys her life. The only issue is that she is unable to howl like her siblings. No matter how hard she tries, she is unsuccessful. Not when the moon is high in the sky, nor when her brothers and sisters are singing in unison. And no one knows why. Will Luna find a way to howl?
How could I pass this up? The title and art caught my attention. I love the illustrations, in addition to the cute and vivid colors used.
I loved the friendship she developed with a cat. And I loved the message and the heartwarming story.
There are even more interactive activities to do after reading the book. I personally loved hide and seek and the word search.

This is such a fun journey for young adults and even older adults!

I loved this book. Hamish and Lela are hunting for Sophie and Peter in Malta. While they are doing this, they fall in love themselves. The chemistry between these two is perfect. It felt like it started as a slow burn because Papa was in the middle, as he always is. I loved watching these two work out their relationship as they went along. It was a satisfying resolve to the problem for everyone. This is such a wonderful series. The story was well-done and well-developed. The characters were thought out and defined with very unique personalities. Another that I wholeheartedly recommend. I couldn’t put this one down.

Book 2 in the Sparky of Bunker Hill series and a second that is absolutely knocked out of the park. Charming, gritty, endearing, unique…this story pulls me in in so many ways. Sparky is as street-wise and curious as ever in her neighborhood in Los Angeles. The community is absolutely loaded with unique and memorable characters and is vividly detailed to share the wistful, gritty, beautiful but dark times. One of those cozy books you read on a cold wet day and wish you could meet the characters in real life.
In addition to the myriad of wacky events Sparky investigates, she’s also looking to catch a cannibal with strong preferences. I’m unable to share much as I don’t have the way with words that the author does, but another absolute home run in the series.

What an utterly charming story! I would never have guessed that reading from a point of view of a smart-aleck 11 year old orphan in the Depression Era would have had me so engrossed and invested! Beautiful visuals, learned some new verbiage from the past, I am invested in all of the zany assortment of characters. I do feel a couple more loose ends could have been finished up, but it was so much fun to read that I couldn’t put it down!
As previously mentioned, Sparky is an 11 year old orphan in the 1930’s. The neighborhood is Bunker Hill in Los Angeles. She’s street-wise, she’s smart, she’s a bit of a trouble maker, she’s an amateur investigator and now she’s accused of murder of a fellow kid in the area! After the initial accusation, the community piles on and the things she gets accused of are utterly absurd. Will Sparky be able to find the actual killer before it’s too late?

This us one of my new favorite authors, and every new book she writes I’m first in line to read it! I enjoy reading her suspenseful novels, and every new story is so much more refreshing than the last. I read this book and my heart broke as Karina faced the death of her grandmother, and the task of taking over her restaurant. The suspenseful events start right away and in a search to find out where this prized journal is located, so many other secrets arise. I would be surprised if one of this authors books doesn’t end up in a movie, the writing is SO VIVID! Thank you again for another masterpiece!

Oh how I enjoy these stories. They are perfect for the middle school age group. The middle-schoolers in the stories are such a fun group. There are few that can see the ghosts which makes it even more entertaining. I loved the mystery they had this time. The writing is perfect. The characters are well-developed for the audience written to. I recommend this series to the upper elementary to middle-school crowd.

What an interesting book. I was pulled in from the start by the intriguing descriptions. This is a fascinating book with the descriptions of characters and what’s going on the story. I found that there is a little of everything. There is some mystery/suspense, paranormal. Fantasy, and more. It was a wonderful story that kept me engaged until the end. I came in on the second book. I will have to go back and read the first book now. I definitely recommend this one.
What a beautiful love story. Two people heading out West with basically their faith in God. I found this a wonderful story with it’s faith intertwined in the story. Dorothy and Elias are both strong characters that go through a lot and come together in this beautiful story. I love strong writing that is big on faith and inspirational. Those are two items found in this story. Elias does a lot of preparation for this trip to make sure it his calling. Dorothy kind of flew by the seat of her pants, not by her choice. The story showed us that God works in miraculous ways. I recommend this one.

Creeden – Review by Shelly Kittell
Carrie found a pair of antique wings that used to be her Grandmothers. I found it fascinating how the story built around the movement of birds in flight. This story was about starlings. It was also about sharing memories with generational memories. Every book this author writes is always fascinating because there is a little tidbit in there about family. This is a science learning book about Starlings. I found out some new tidbits about Starlings in the information section included at the end of the story. A beautiful story that I recommend for any home with children.
The exercises in this journal were phenomenal. It’s honestly something I really needed. It’s my first time actually reading or doing exercises like this and I enjoyed the entire thing. It’s helped me and made me realize stuff I didn’t before. Just absolutely beautiful.

Regan is on her latest book tour, although they are not that bad it has become unbearable as the other author is a pain her side. Pavlo is a dark mysterious author who writes the opposite to her romantic stories with HEA, so when her agent decides to arrange a private book signing with the next First Lady she is annoyed and wants the world to swallow her up.
Pavlo was invited on the tour to promote his new book, so when he discovers that Regan is also included his mood takes a dive, this fiercely independent woman will be the death of him, but when there is a threat against her and her daughter, Pavlo pushes all that aside and his instinct to protect her is brought to the for front.
As they get to know each other better there is a chemistry between them that can’t be denied but can Pavlo push away the feelings to be able to protect her and her daughter properly.
This is the first book I have read by this author and loved every word written, although this book is part of a series, I thought this was a story which can be read separately. The chemistry between these two main characters was brilliant to read and added a extra layer to the story, with also the Enemies to Lovers progression had you engaged all through. Regan was a great female character full of fire and independence which frustrated Pavlo at times but in the end became the thing he loved the most about her.
I can’t wait to read more of this series and the others before.
