This was a good 4 star read. If you like second chance romance, you will enjoy this quick read. I really liked both characters. These two have a history that includes a huge misunderstanding. Years later they are brought back together to work on the same case. The more time they spend together old feelings start to come back. Can these two move forward from the past? Overall, I enjoyed this book. We get romance, love and so much more. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today.

This was a cute little story about a boy who wants to be a detective. I found it a very interesting story. If you have any kids who find doing detective work fun and interesting then I highly recommend this book for them. I liked how Dylan included his sister in his adventure, it was nice to see them working together. The book is funny and I really recommend it for your little detectives as a fun read.

“A Knight in Peril” by Alice Bienia is a gripping and thrilling mystery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. The story centers around PI Jorja Knight, who arrives in Istanbul only to discover that her best friend Gabriella has vanished. As Jorja delves deeper into the case, she is thrust into a dangerous world of lies, secrets, and corruption.
One of the strongest aspects of this book is its atmospheric setting in Istanbul. Bienia’s vivid descriptions bring the ancient city to life, immersing readers in its rich history and mysterious allure. The author has clearly done her research, and the attention to detail shines through in the way she portrays Istanbul’s dark underbelly. Readers will feel as though they are walking the streets alongside Jorja, navigating the twists and turns of the city. And humor along the way, for example, a character who speaks Turkish and English can’t think of a “bucket list” and calls it a “pail list,” lightening the mood. (Side note- I also learned about another version of Cliff’s Notes, called Cole’s Note!).
The pacing of the story is excellent, with Bienia expertly balancing moments of high tension with quieter, introspective scenes. The sense of urgency is palpable as Jorja races against time to find her missing friend. The plot is filled with unexpected twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the very end, making it a truly gripping mystery thriller.

Sloane is on her own for selling at Market Day to return home and find the Befallen has killed her small town, including her family. Sloane gathers the courage to travel on her own, only to find life is harder and cruelty has a large place in the world. Along the way she meets Sir Tolvar, a knight with a drunken exterior and a past he has a hard time facing. With a few friends picked up along the way, Sloane finds herself surrounded by unlikely allies who are wanting to take down the Befallen.
This was a very unique story. You are pulled in right away and you think the story is going one way to only take you on a different path. Full of surprises, I really enjoyed this one very different then the books of the genres I have read.

“Knight In The Museum” by Alice Bienia is a gripping installment in the Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery series, my first one by the author but definitely can be read as a stand alone. In this book, Jorja takes on a case involving the death of a former police officer that was deemed an accident but has left lingering questions for his daughter. As Jorja delves into the case, she uncovers another suspicious death and a connection to a cursed, missing artifact.
One of the standout aspects of this book is the strong and gutsy heroine, Jorja Knight. She is a determined and resourceful investigator who will stop at nothing to find the truth. Her persistence and unwavering commitment to her clients make her an engaging and relatable protagonist. Readers will find themselves rooting for her as she navigates the dangers and challenges of her investigation.
The mystery itself is complex and well-crafted, with twists and turns that keep readers guessing until the end. Bienia does an excellent job of slowly unraveling the layers of the case and building suspense. I also enjoyed the humor thrown in, for example, “Traders of the Lost Ark.” The connection to the cursed artifact adds an intriguing supernatural element to the story, adding another layer of mystery and intrigue.
Furthermore, the setting of the badlands in Alberta, Canada, adds a unique and atmospheric backdrop to the story. Bienia’s descriptions bring the landscape to life, creating a vivid and immersive reading experience. The author’s attention to detail shines through in the way she depicts the setting and adds depth to the overall story.

Encounters of Old Coyote by Laura Koerber is a unique and thought-provoking novel that explores the nature of life, death, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. The story follows Andrea, a skeptic who finds herself as a ghost in the desert after her death. Confused and seeking answers about the existence of God, Andrea encounters a supernatural being in the form of a coyote.
Koerber’s writing style is engaging and conversational, allowing readers to easily connect with the characters and their experiences. The dynamic between Andrea and Coyote is particularly captivating, as they engage in discussions about spirituality, existence, and the role of storytelling.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the book is the way it weaves together different stories and anecdotes. Andrea and Coyote share tales about mundane experiences, such as finding spiders in the bathroom or losing a bra at a truck stop, as well as more profound subjects like dark matter and the fifth force. These stories serve a dual purpose, not only entertaining readers but also conveying deeper messages about life’s mysteries and the human experience.
The novel also touches upon themes of interconnectedness and the ways in which seemingly unrelated events can be linked. Through Andrea’s encounters with Coyote, she begins to understand that everything is connected in some way, and that stories are an essential tool for humans to make sense of the world around them.
While the book explores weighty topics, it maintains a light and humorous tone throughout (loved the line about ghosts being mostly cows or horses or pigs that have “fucked up” lives- coyote doesn’t think happy animals would become ghosts!). I would recommend reading it!

This is a super cute, multicultural book about a young boy repeating his affirmations. Books like this are so important to all people but I really like that this one is geared towards boys. It’s a very positive and uplifting book with colorful illustrations.

This was a classic holiday romance and I loved every minute of it! There was even an unexpected plot twist. America was not expecting what she got when she arrived in Christmas Cove on an assignment. She was reluctant to go but gave up when she kept getting pushed in that direction by circumstances out of her control. Which all makes the story that much better. There is everything you would get from a Hallmark movie in the book including some mystery and of course some holiday romance! I love these stories that make you want to drink something hot and sit with a fuzzy blanket on the couch!

Pavlo is thriller writer for hobby and convenience, but his real job is to be a bodyguard and owner of a safety business. Along with other 4 ex Navy Seals, they have high profile clientele to take care of,now this can easily be parted with writing in order to obtain information and research for said pastime.
There is also Regan, a romantic writer who happens to share the same marketing agency for her books that Pavlo has, but since they are so different in paper they are also in life styles. After a divorce she and her daughter make do with her job, not the kind where money rains but it’s present.

This is the second book in the Latitude series, which in turn is a follow-on series to the Antipodes series. Following on from the first book, this follows Caitlin and Gio. I would highly recommend reading the book prior to this one at the very least before starting this one. Once again this was a well written story, flowing nicely an creating an intriguing world to step into. The complex characters are also well-written, they are developed well and draw you into their lives to the point you need to know what will happen to them next. The author has a great ability to suck you in and making you emotionally invested before you even realise it. I enjoyed the developments in the story, the resurfacing of characters and dangers and seeing how as the characters change and develop, so do the solutions and thought processes. The events were made to feel believable and through provoking at times. It, along with the rest of the series is sure to be one that stays with me and I look forward to where we are taken next.

I Am a Bold Asian Boy: A Positive Affirmation Book for Asian Boys is an engaging picture book in the Asian Family Series to help boys to empower themselves to be self-aware of their emotions, feelings from a young age. The story incorporates awareness and the essence of positive thinking for young Asian boys and embracing their cultural differences. This interactive book is great to encourage the growth of a child and to embrace courage, positivity and the power of thinking through affirmations. Affirmations have been a part of my life for a long time, and I enjoy sharing them with others especially children. The lovely illustrations help bring the wonderful narrative alive and makes it easy for the kids to follow along. It is aimed at young ones from the age of 3 – 6 years old. It is never too early to start. Grab a copy of this wonderful book and help get your child started today and watch them grow under the book’s tutelage. You won’t be disappointed. This learning tool should be a staple in any household.

The Befallen is a poignant story and is Cambria Williams charming debut dark fantasy tale. It is a unique and engaging tale that is cleverly crafted together. It is a story with all the feels, a story of faith and longing. Where ones worth and place in the world is what our MC’s are longing to find. One a reluctant drunk and moody/grumpy Knight Sir Tolvar needs redemption from past. The other a young woman Sloane has had to overcome so much in her life. She has a disability and just wants to be seen as something more than a cripple, to mean something. When Sir grumpy meets Sloane, he is inspired to become a better man and decides to help her on finding a cure for the curse that has stolen her whole world from her. These wonderful characters are well written and will make your heart melt and I was rooting for them against their fight to stop the Befallen before it destroys more. Other characters were just as good. I look forward to more from Cambria.

Renewed is the sixth exciting action-packed book in the Fateful Justice series by Sara Vinduska. Each book can be read as a standalone and it does not feel like I missed out on anything. The book is well-written and the characters that are well developed, and with flaws and weaknesses that make them feel real. It is a sexy Cowboy suspense romantic tale that will have you falling in love with the characters and pages turning at the turn of events. I enjoy Sara’s writing style making the story easy to read as it flowed well. Renewed has an interesting storyline, a good plot and is fast paced with enough twists to keep you glued to the pages. With plenty of romance, action, suspense, danger, intrigue, mystery, dark secrets and drama there is something for everyone to enjoy. I am not going to share details as I think you should discover it all on your own. If you are a fan of dangerous romantic suspense, you will enjoy this book. I look forward to reading more in the series.
The Catford Catastrophe Zone is a dystopian sci-fi book set nearly 100 years in the future. The year is 2120 and Frankie is an undercover policewoman in London and she is tasked with infiltrating a group of rebels in the Poverty Zone. As you can imagine, that area is exactly what it sounds like…a place of nightmares, where the worst of society delves. Not only are the people more rugged and conditioned, even the plants are dangerous and creatures lurk. The deeper she gets, the more “over her head” things become. It is not often I can say that I have never read anything like that before, but that is true with this one. It has many layers and the characters and politics are believable, and I will be checking out some of the other works by Petra Jacob.

Knight In Peril is book 5 of the Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery Series. The books can be read as standalones but start from the beginning as you gain so much insight into our lead character Jorja Knight. This suspenseful tale pulls you in to the thrilling mystery and dangerous world that Jorja finds herself ensnared in right from the start. It is a dark and gritty world of secrets and lies, gluttony and bribery, corrupt politicians and people who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Jorja Knight is independent, feisty, a no-nonsense straight shooter but even she is faces fear as she finds herself in a race against time in the dark underbelly of a foreign country to find the one person that means the world to her before time runs out. Knight In Peril is a fast-paced, page-turner that had me staying up reading late into the night. Will they escape with their lives, or will they both be lost to a world where no one cares? If you are looking for a good book to read, then look no further than this series.

OMG. I loved the first book Shadowed Obsession but Shadowed Agenda is just as good if not better. I said before that this is an author to watch, and I still think that. Each book in the series can be read as standalones but I encourage you to read them in order because the characters interchange. I love books with Navy Seals, Security protection books and the like, as I love the adrenaline rush and strong alpha males in protective mode and equally strong female leads. Shadowed Agenda is the second book in the amazing Shadow Defense Security series by Mavery Ellscott. This engrossing slow burn read is an Enemies to Lovers romantic tale that is one thrilling ride with twisty turns keep the pages turning. What happens when the stakes just keep on getting higher? A tension filled fast-paced tale that will have your heart rate elevated and on the edge of your seat. There is a lot going on in this book. It is a thrilling tale that is full of drama, treachery, deceit, danger, action, intrigue, grit, suspicions, attraction and a touch of humour. The only way the story could have gotten any better is if there was a bit more “open” heat in the sex scenes and it was told in dual POV (my favourite way to narrate a story) but these are my preferences. The plot and the characters are well developed, well written, and interesting. I loved the push pull of the relationship and the sexual tension between them. Shadowed Agenda is captivating and highly entertaining and should be on peoples TBR list. It is kill or be killed in this high stake’s tale. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
4.5 stars Orenda is the second book in The Latitude series. It is the sequel to The 45th Parallel which is an extension on the Antipodes series. It is a Sci Fi story with supernatural elements. The principals and beliefs behind Orenda are thought provoking and something that many have theorised and adhered to past and present, for eons and will live on eons in the future. I was intrigued and interesting to see T.S. associate it to this series. Tanya clever writing draws you in and makes you invested in what happens with the characters their hopes, their dreams, their struggles. Expect the unexpected when reading her books but that makes it even more intriguing. There is always something new and exciting that comes to light. It is an even bigger journey that could have long standing effects for everyone. Emotions run high as old enemies resurface and everything is in peril, and Caitlin must fight for what they love most. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

4 stars Hope For a New World is the first book in The Hope Sci Fi Series by Renee W Peek. There is a cast of many in this story, but it only makes it more interesting with the interconnections of all things. It was so easy to get emotionally invested in the characters. Where strong women bring out all the feels from tears to laughter. It’s a world where telepathic and energies within all are the norm for some and connections with mother earth reaching out hoping to make things better. But greed, power, corruption, have nearly destroyed it all. But is there is a way to set things right? Will all be lost for the women who stay behind by those who would do harm? Hope for a New World is an interesting read and one where it is all too real and where we are heading in some ways. A sentient being, a new planet, guardians of the land, protesters, corporate military are just some of what is found in the compelling story.

4.5 Stars Encounters With Old Coyote is a collection of 13 short stories of two wandering spirits. Laura is an emotive writer with different and eclectic genres making each book from her a surprise. This unique tale is a blend of paranormal elements and magical realism. I was completely immersed in the writing, and I found myself easily entrenched in the world in which had been created. With its intricate layers and deftly woven threads throughout each tale was easy to read and had seamless ebbs and flows. Laura is a gifted storyteller, and her stories are easily imagined and brought to life by her rich tones and vivid cinematic narrative. Coyote is back sharing his knowledge and imparting his stories with other spirit-beings under the beautiful stars of the Nevada desert. Grab a cuppa or a wine and relax whilst enjoying Coyote and Andrea’s tales. This book is well worth read.

This book is a fantastic follow up to the first in the series and I found it pulled me in from the moment I started reading. I would certainly recommend reading the first book in the series before this one so you can enjoy it as much as possible. I loved getting back into these characters and their journey. It was lovely to see how it developed even further as this book went on. This author has an incredible way of creating a story that is lasting and interesting. The books are imaginative and are ones that I always seem to enjoy. This book is just as good as the first and I am looking forward to seeing where else this series might go.

It had been a while since I had read a book in this series and I was so excited to get right back into it. It was honestly like I had never put the books down. I was pulled back in straight away and reconnected with the characters with ease. I love the new additions to the book as well. They were great to learn about and added so much more to the story. This book is still such a unique and original concept. It is unusual for me to read a book that is different to anything else I have read and yet every single book I read by this author seems to be just that. This book is as excited and well written as the others in the series and I think it is definitely prompting a reread. This is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend.

This was my first time reading this author and I was not disappointed. She has an amazing talent. She builds worlds that you want to get lost in, and the attention to detail is top notch. I feel like I may have taken more away from the story had I read the 1st book, as this is the 2nd in the series, but I was able to follow the story pretty well. If you like dystopian romances, I absolutely recommend this author.

Very cute! I love that this book showcases the beauty that is found in looks, culture, learning, family and everyday life. The art is beautiful, bright and colorful. The book shows that there are blessings to be found all around in everyday tasks and beauty within yourself.

A truly fascinating story that shows the value of yourself and others. I enjoyed reading this story. It had a wonderful flow to it. The characters were unique and fit into the story so perfectly. To watch Sloane discover herself through the story shows us her inner strength. It’s a very good story. I recommend it.

What an action-packed romance this is. I fell in love with these characters. The heroine is the star in this romance. She rescues him and then he rescues her. Such a sweet story full of drama. I loved every minute of it. I was drawn in right from the start by these two. This is part of a series but it can be read as a stand alone. It’s an excellent romance for those seeking action-packed. I recommend it.

This is book 1 in The Hazardous Hoarding Mysteries series. I found this cozy mystery really unique and entertaining. It is the first book that I have read by this author and i am looking forward to reading more in this series. The author does a great job with the characters. They are all fun and charming and a little eccentric in their own way which is what makes them unique. In this story we first meet Birdie and her sister Oda Dean. Both of them love a good deal and love looking around for bargains. Birdie considers herself a collecter but to the outside world she would be considered a horder. One of the things Birdie loves is looking inside dumpsters however her favourite past time comes to a horrible end when she discovers the body of a young woman who she considered her friend. Now she is on a mission along with her sister Oda and her dead husband (in spirit form) to find out who killed her friend and why. As Birdie starts investigating and trying to get to the bottom of things she places a target on her back. Will she become the next body in a dumpster?
The characters of Birdie and Oda are so well written they literally jump off the page. Their relationship and the humour between them makes this story engaging and a fun read. Add to the mix Birdie’s departed husband and it is a great entertaining mix. There are some deeper issues such as lonelness and the loss of a loved one which are dealt within this story as well.
