The Mating Call (Long Claw Pride #1)The Mating Call by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a great way to start a series. Shifter romances are not my normal go to for reading. I was not disappointed with this book. The author does an amazing job describing details of the MCs and the settings that you actually feel like you are there as a fly on the wall. All of that being said, this book explores the shifter world of a mountain lion, which I have never heard of before. I probably shouldn’t have been surprised as anything can be a shifter. That is was intrigued me with this book. It was my hook into it. Once I started reading, I was not able to put it down. I kept turning page after page to see what was going to happen or how something was going to end up. It was a very fast paced read and kept me entertained the whole time. I highly suggest reading this series. If you aren’t into the shifter genre, this book is still worth it. If you haven’t dabbled in this genre before, this is a great series to start with.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve read a few books by this author now so when I saw this new release from her I was really excited to start reading and it was as I expected a really great read. It was entertaining from beginning to end and the authors wonderful descriptive writing felt like I was right there in year 1897! The genre isn’t my usual but I really like the historical accuracy that the author uses in her writing, you can tell that she clearly researches the time periods that she sets her stories in. I really liked Mark, he was a great lead character to follow. There were some great twists and turns in the story too. I’m definitely looking to reading more from this author again!

The Mating HazeThe Mating Haze by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book does not disappoint. I was intrigued with the blurb about this book. The haze that could surround the MCs of this story if they don’t take the mating mark right away. This is something that I haven’t read about in other shifter books. It is something that I can come into this series and consider a new take on the shifter genre. That said this book was excellently written and very descriptive. I was able to picture everything in my mind like a picture. There are some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. It definitely kept me turning pages to see what was going to happen and where everything was heading in the story. The romance in this book is spit on for the story. It isn’t too much and not too little. I feel like this book was really thought out. It is part of a series and I would highly recommend reading them all. I was bot disappointed at all while reading this book and I intend on reading the rest of the series. This is a fast paced book and will keep you turning pages. It will allow you to loose yourself for a few hours while reading it. I always feel that a great book will make you loose track of time and this book did that and then some.

This is book 7 in a series. New characters, a new situation but still a continuation from the other stories in this series.

Earl has a special way of writing that makes you feel as if you are a part of the story you are reading. I love chance encounters, like everything happens for a reason. We may never know what fate has planned but it will all work out in the end.

These characters are funny, determined and brave. They each have their flaws, but no one, even fictional characters, are perfect. Perfectly imperfect…well actually Fractured.

Can’t wait to read about the rest of the brothers in this club!

Fate exists and it comes to every mountain lion shifter in the form of the mating call. This call brings two people together who are perfect for one another in every single way. And some are more ready for it than others.

Laramie Mackenzie has always had a sense of responsibility when it comes to helping out her family. Pushing her own dream onto the back burner where it’s left to simmer, she’s more than ready when her call comes, bringing with it a mate who just might hold the key to her future.

Trigger Bain is a mountain lion shifter raised among humans. He has no idea what life should be like aside from what the mating call is all about. He’s worked his entire adult life helping mountain lion shifter communities become the best they can and is just as determined to help Long Claw, the home of his mate.

Mates should claim one another right away to avoid the mating haze. A fog that can consume the couple, taking possession of them until they are carrying each other’s mark and it doesn’t matter when and where it hits. But there’s something underlying with Trigger’s arrival that the haze does well to cloud from Laramie’s eyes. Truths will be learned, secrets revealed, and their fledgling relationship tested to a limit Laramie hoped would never happen to her like it did her mom.

In the quiet wintery setting of Long Claw lives a pride of wild and crazy individuals and you just never know what any of them will get up to.

Struggling to reconcile the man he once was, with the man prison made him, Ian Troy emerges from captivity to an unfamiliar world gripped with fear. In the wake of his fall, those he cares for suffered their own grim fates, leaving friends endangered and scattered. His old enemy, Draken of Langor, seized control of Mirra’kelan and named himself High King. Draken’s brutal reign sparked a desperate rebellion that Ian now finds himself a part of. His one task: recover and repair the Crown of Stones, in hopes it will tip the balance in their brewing revolution.

As Ian strives to regain what was lost, the magic-scars streaking his body multiply faster. Searching for a cause, and the truth behind his link to the Crown of Stones, leads him to uncover shocking secrets buried for generations beneath the sand. To become the weapon the resistance needs, Ian must claim his magical inheritance. But can he curb the destructive appetite that comes with it?

 Magic-Scars is the exciting second installment in The Crown of Stones Trilogy.

House of Blood and WhispersHouse of Blood and Whispers by Natalina Reis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The trigger warnings at the start of the book were extremely helpful and let me know what to expect. Wow! Just wow! This book was a fantastic read! Cahki is someone I don’t want to meet in a dark alleyway if I was on her bad side, but she and I would be fast friends. She does not hold herself back and holds herself to that standard. It was a little frustrating at some parts, where better communication would’ve resolved some misunderstandings, but overall I really did like her character. Sung-Juin was not was I was expecting. With his background I was expecting a woe is me, or a jaded closed off person. He did have his moments, but I thought he was a well balanced character. This book had a little bit of everything for me. Action, romance, suspense, and everything in-between. Also I gotta say this, the cover is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I seriously can’t wait to read more books by this author. I’m definitely going to buying a physical copy of this book to keep on my shelves!

This is book 5 in the Logan McKenna series. The story starts in Newport Oregon and continues on the Oregon coast. As with the other books in the series, Safe Harbor can be read as a stand alone novel. I have read other books by this author and I’m always drawn into the storyline. There’s plenty of mystery and intrigue to keep the pages turning! This is a powerful story with themes of loss, forgiveness, family, and love. It’s a wonderfully written crime novel with captivating characters and beautiful descriptions of the scenery along the Oregon coast. A joy to read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Valerie Davisson is quickly becoming a new favorite author of mine. Her Logan McKenna Series is full of mystery, drama, intrigue, and so many twists and turns. The fifth book in the series, Safe Harbor, checks all those boxes and more. The reader finds out more about Logan’s family and her past, which collides with her present day and her connection to a murder, as a suspect. The world building in this series, and especially this book, is amazing! I felt like I was right there beside the family, fishing off the Oregon coast or walking along the beach. Valerie Davisson provides such vivid details in her writing and has also created characters that the reader can’t help but connect with. I feel like Logan McKenna could be a friend of mine in real life. The characters are so realistically flawed and believable. I can’t wait to see where the next Logan McKenna Thriller takes me!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Riley is a single mom trying to get her career back on track after losing everything four years ago. Well, she lost everything except for her adorable son, Dylan. Mitch is part of the Miller clan and he’s always such a sourpuss, or in Dylan’s words, always yelling! When Riley and Mitch meet up at yet another Miller family wedding, Mitch saves Riley from having to dance with the crazy drunk party crasher. There is an electricity from the first touch and, while they both try to deny their feelings at first, they really can’t. Riley is dead set on getting into another relationship but then Dylan starts asking questions.

This was a much more enjoyable book for me than the previous one in this series. It wasn’t horrible and I was probably just having an “off-reading day”. I loved how the story progressed but Dylan is my favorite character in this story!!! Will he get his Christmas wish?

The more books I read in the Logan McKenna Series, the more hooked I get! The fourth book, Vanishing Day, finds our heroine/musician/amateur sleuth, Logan McKenna, investigating the brutal attack of her neighbor. I love that Valerie Davisson not only captures the mystery and drama in her stories, but also touches on sensitive subjects; this book involves spousal abuse and the effects, physically and mentally, of that abuse. This book had me captivated and on the edge of my seat till the very end. The same wonderfully realistic characters return and the vivid detailing and creative, original world building is front and center in this dramatic, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Once again, Vanishing Day, as well as the other books in the series, can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading them in order to fully appreciate the connection between the books.

Devil’s Claw is the third book in the Logan McKenna Series and it hits even closer to home for Logan. This time around, Logan’s daughter, Amy, is involved in the drama. Although I hope that no one has as bad of luck as Logan, in the fact that all these murders, kidnappings, and overall bad things happen around her, they do make for an exciting series! Valerie Davisson delivers again with the same realistic characters and amazing world building. There are so many twists and turns and several point of views, yet Davisson is able to keep things from getting confusing or jumbled. There are so many factors going on in this book, but they all somehow come together wonderfully in a fantastic, thrilling tale, complete with fuzzy, cuddly sea otters!

The second book in the Logan McKenna Series, Forest Park, delivers the same great characters along with some new and lovable faces. I love the introduction of so many unique, diverse characters and the way Valerie Davisson discusses sensitive topics such as homelessness, PTSD, and addiction. She delivers a harsh reality while not becoming overly sentimental or preachy. I did read the first book in the series and believe that, although having some of the back story helped navigate this book, the books could be read as standalone stories. This book seemed to flow a little better than the first and still included amazing world building and descriptive imagination! Davisson paints such a vivid picture in the reader’s mind of the setting in which the story takes place. I can’t wait to read the next book!

Another great story from a wonderful author. My kiddos love it when we get to read these together, and this was no different! I loved that this was more based on STEM than some others. Both of my kids (7 and 11) enjoyed reading this and sparking conversations on finding solutions and how you can make a bad decision without fully realizing. The illustrations are incredible, and I feel they definitely add more to the story. While you can read this as a standalone, I highly recommend picking up others in the series for the young ones in your life because they are all amazing!

Each time I read another book in the Logan McKenna series, I find a new favorite! There is plenty of danger, suspense, and action which follows suit with the others in the series. I always enjoy the way this author vividly paints the scenery in each book. I find it incredibly easy to picture myself in these locations without ever having visited, which is not an easy feat by any means. Logan is always such a strong and independent character who seems to find herself in the middle of very mysterious (and dangerous) situations. You can read this as a standalone, but getting to know more and more about Logan through each book is definitely worth picking up the entire series. I can’t wait to get my hands on more from this author.
