I have to let you know straight up that each book in this amazing series follows on from the previous one so do yourself a favour and read from book 1. I didn’t think this series could get any better but it truly does or maybe I am just getting more and more hooked with each page turned. Tamaska and Kodiak are of course back in this continuation of their story and the risks are higher than ever. You will 100% be captivated right from the start by this fantastic, action packed Paranormal Romance. I can’t wait for more from this amazing author.

Snap, crackle, pop hot enough to start a fire! This book was so good from the very start! Bad boy rock star meets sweet but fiery girl-next-door, the heat between Blu and Ashleigh was everything and so much more. The characters were real and relatable, as well as many of the issues they faced, and I love to find that in a book!

What little girl didn’t grow up loving fairytales? This is definitely a mature version of one of those. I enjoyed this book, it had everything I enjoy most from a book. An excellent story, relateable characters, steamy scenes, and all the drama! I cannot wait to read more in this series. Bridget has been burned by past relationships, after being dealt the ultimate burn when she discovered her fiancé was cheating on her she goes on the trip that should have been her honeymoon with her best friend. Bridget has always played it safe in life but this time she throws caution to the wind and finds a connection and steamy sex with a complete stranger who just happens to be royal unbeknownst to her. Fynix is feeling the pressure of his role as a monarch and the pressure his parents have placed on him, he never expected the connection he finds with Bridget to change his life in the way it does.

Rocketship Made of Stars is the second book in the ‘I Am An Alien” series by Lois Wickstrom. It is another fun children’s fantasy story where we join Shirl and her alien friend Eeh-Ahh as they talk, and learn about, constellations. The story is fun and imaginative, whist teaching children about constellations and the stars- there is also themes of friendship, acceptance, being different, and fitting in. There are several pictures with the names of constellations in the back of the book. Get set for a fun, quirky, and engaging read. Happy reading…

What an interesting read! I thought that the insights she gave to the cards were very well thought out, and it’s clear just how much she connects with the meta world around her. Honestly, it takes a lot of vulnerability to put things like that into the world around you, let alone into a book that lots of people are going to read. I know I’m going to be musing through this book multiple times, and I recommend it to anyone struggling to understand their cards and just starting their journey!

I have read several works from this author and it’s such a delight! Being new to tarot, this was interesting to read 78 word stories with each of the cards. It’s an interesting way of meditating your way through the deck. I believe in DeBlassie’s alchemy with books. If you’re into tarot, this will make a wonderful addition!

This is the first book I have read by this author, so I didn’t know what to expect. I’m glad I decided to take a chance. As soon as I started reading this book I was hooked. I found this story to be so much more than the typical rock star story. The author wrote this story in such a way that it became so captivating that I got invested in the characters and was taken on an emotional journey. This story is full of drama, heartache, love, loss and so much more. I don’t want to give anything away so I will just say that this is a must read. I look forward to reading more books by this author. I highly recommend this book.

Andrea Fehsenfeld is a first time author for me and, boy did she deliver an emotional whirlwind! I was not ready for the depth of emotion I felt while reading A Rainbow Like You. From the beginning, I knew this wasn’t going to be a typical “rock star” story. The characters, even the seemingly minor ones, had a personality, a backstory. The characters are so realistic, believable, and likeable, and the eventual camaraderie between Adrian and Hastings was so heartfelt that I couldn’t help but fall in love with the characters. The same descriptive detail used for the character development was also used throughout the book in the world building. From the vivid details of the tour bus to the sights and sounds from onstage, I felt like I was right in the middle of the story. I am looking forward to reading more by Andrea Fehsenfeld.

Wickstrom has done it again! She has taken a unique twist to teaching kids about constellations using Shirl and Eee-ahh’s friendship and adventures. I love how she always integrates cool stories with scientific based facts into her books. She also throughs in acceptance and tolerance as well. At the end of the book, she has great information about constellations as well. I highly recommend this book for your star and space loving littles!

Eve is a character that you will love. I fell into the story right from the start. She got hooked on the story of Murder Creek just as much as I was hooked into her story. I couldn’t put this story down. I loved how much her passion kept her going as people tried to divert her attention away from the mystery. This is one of those stories that keeps you engaged because of many things. The characters are quite entertaining. The mystery is one that you have to keep going because you have to figure out who did it. People turning her away just had the opposite effect, she just kept going. This is a quick read and I can’t wait for the next story to come out.

Although I liked this book lesser than some of the other scientifically based Lois Wickstrom’s books, it is still worth reading. An alien comes to Earth and tells stories his culture tells of the sky, which leads into learning about constellations, complete with diagrams of real constellations in the back. I did enjoy how the story has the characters taking turns telling their version, and the fact the teacher doesn’t question why an alien is in her classroom shows great inclusivity! As with all the books in this series and Lois Wickstrom’s other books, colorful, engaging illustrations accompany the text.

Spectacular! Another great example is psychological thriller with a dash of romance and action. Gripping with many twists and full of suspense. This is the second book of a series but can be read alone. Recommend to all readers, this author does not disappoint. Looking forward to the next book.

Rocket Ship Made of Stars is a fun story by Lois Wickstrom. It is an educational look at constellations for children aged 4 to 8 years. We first met Shirl and her new friend Eeh-ahh in the book I Am An Outer Space Alien (I am an Alien). Impressionable little minds open up to any and all possibilities of other life forms and whole new worlds beyond the stars. Lois helps with shaping and the development of young ones as they once again go on alien adventures. The story of Eeh-ahh the Alien and her world is brought to lie with vivid, colourful and bright illustrations by Nicolas Milano. Who doesn’t love a good story with Aliens, Rocket ships, stars and much more? There are many more adventure stories just waiting for you to explore from Lois.

5/5 Stars This book tackles very difficult topics in a great way. It’s written in a way that young readers will be able to understand and appreciate what they are reading. Grief is always a hard thing to explain to children but this book does an excellent job of making it easier.

A cute kids book about constellations! I enjoyed reading it with my kids, they are a bit older and are good readers. We had a good discussion about constellations after we finished reading. I enjoyed reading about Shirl and her alien friend Eee-ahh going to school. The kids and the teacher are inquisitive and everyone seemed to learn a great deal about constellations and seeing them from different points of view. I think younger kids that are interested in stars would really enjoy this story.

I love Tarot and Oracle cards and get so excited over a new opportunity to read about Tarot. I was excited to stumble across Conversations with Tarot and loved the unique format of the book. So many books start with the Fool’s journey and I loved that this book started with the Ace of Wands the and urge for new beginnings for the author. The poem introduction for each card was very well written and the insights were personal yet educational. I think the two of cups was my favorite but perhaps that’s my own personal attachment to the card.. I really felt like I was talking Tarot with a close friend and it was so much more exciting than a wordy text. It’s difficult to write a review on such a unique type of book but I will definitely be adding a paperback copy to my Tarot shelves!

This is the longest Lois Wickstrom book I have read and I love to see something that is for some older children than usual. This story focuses on somewhat of a heavier topic than her usual fare so I would not recommend this one for her usual preschool / kindergarten crowd, but it is more for late elementary. In this story we meet a main character who has an undocumented immigrant for a mother and a father who was U.S. Military. However, he passed away before being able to marry, Xenia’s, (the main character) mother. This means that Xenia and her brother are U.S. citizens. This is a reality for many children living in the U.S. right now. Lois Wickstrom does a great job addressing this in a way that is accessible to children this young and does not make it stigmatizing in any way. She also shows the challenges that this poses Xenia and her family and how they have to try to avoid drawing attention to themselves. When their worst fears come to fruition Xenia and her family have to get creative to see each other and also have to rely on the kindness of others. This is quite possibly the best Lois Wickstrom book I have read and I love the way she addresses this topic. She handles this reality in such a light hearted way that does not make it inaccessible to the children who read it. But it also does a great job of really showing the reality for families in these situations. I highly recommend this one!

Isla is a phenomenal writer and in this series she has created the perfect characters who keep you coming back for me. They hook you in and don’t let you go until the next page and their stories continue to the next book so you are anxiously waiting for the next book to find out what happens next. I definitely do not recommend missing a single book, not only because they are so phenomenal, but also because the each book provides context for the next. Which in my opinion just makes this series so special. This book is Phoenix’s and Aspen’s story. Which is so very complicated. But yet it is so good in all the right ways. Phoenix and Aspen find themselves in an incredibly complex situation yet watching them handle it kept me turning the pages so very fast. This book definitely kept me wanting more so I will be anxiously awaiting the next one! I definitely recommend picking up this series!

This is not my first Winter Austin book and it definitely won’t be my last. When I open a Winter Austin book, I know that I am going to get fantastic suspense that will keep me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I also know that I am going to read amazing characters and that the detectives and police in it are going to add an extra layer of entertainment. Atonement does not disappoint at all with this. Austen once again has crafted fantastic characters and a plotline that does not disappoint. This story also features PTSD and Winter Austin does a fantastic job of providing background information about PTSD. Nic is such a well written multifaceted character. I found that the amount of depth written to her was amazing and made her extra interesting. I absolutely loved this book and I definitely recommend it!

This was such a fantastic and emotional story. I found myself crying (actually sobbing) at several parts of this. Yet, I never wanted to stop reading this story. I wanted to see how it ended. I wanted to follow the emotional arc of the main character Julie, even if I was so emotionally invested in it. Julie is a fantastic main character and she is one that I found myself relating to and rooting for. The emotional layers in this between gaining custody of her niece and nephew, who are actually her flesh and blood, and processing the loss of her brother and sister in law it just all seems like it is too much. Then Grant enters the picture. The emotional complexity of him entering just really kept me reading at such an intense pace. I wanted to know what was going to happen in Julie’s life, if she was going to keep her job, if Grant was there for good reasons, if she was going to learn to love raising the kids, if everyone was going to get a happy ending. I have so much more I want to say, but won’t for fear of spoilers. I will say that this book is a must read and that these characters are so very well written. I definitely recommend reading this book! But make sure to have tissues handy!

The main character brings an alien to school with her. There are no security hoops to jump through in order for this to happen. The main character has classmates who are kind to their class visitor. The teacher and the children discuss constellations. Different cultures have different names and stories for the same constellations.

Children will love reading this book, especially if they are interested in the patterns amid the stars!! I loved this book and I’m not a child!
Shirl takes Eee-ahh to school with her where they hear stories all day long. When the teacher asks Eee-ahh where she is from, Eee-ahh proceeds to draw a series of stars and then connects them. The class learns all about constellations and the different names for them.
This is beautifully illustrated and is recommended for all ages, but especially those in the 4-9 year old age group.

Cruel Hate: A Dark College Sports Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 5)
I am so completely and totally obsessed with this series. I’m not sure why I am as deep as I am, but want more and I count the days until the next book releases. If you haven’t read at the very least Cruel Start then stop here and go read that first, it’s the prelude to this book. But I recommend starting with the very first book Savage Start, you can thank me later.
Phoenix needs to learn to trust people outside of his brother and cousins. I think if he let go some of what’s bothering him he wouldn’t be as angry and that would go a long way.
So many things happen in this book and we learn a little more about Phoenix, his grandfather and rest of his immediate family not including Damon and Cole. I could not put this book down and thankfully I had a nice long weekend so I could stay up late reading.
This book ends on a cliffhanger which usually bothers me but not in this instance because I know when I will have the next book in my kindle and ready to read.

I wasn’t even a full chapter in when I knew this book was going to be a struggle to put down. I was entirely invested in Mia’s life and if she was going to regain her friendship with Mitch and grieve Xavier. I couldn’t wait for Jeff to text her again and knew that Shelly or Granny would have great words of wisdom for her.
This book is so well written that it’s easy to sit down and binge chapter after chapter without realizing time going by around you. The twists and turns kept me so interested, I couldn’t help but continue reading.
This book is a great reminder that things aren’t always what they seem and you should be honest & brave instead of waiting for the “right time”.

Rogue Wolf is Book Three in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series. This book picks up where the last one left off so if you have not yet read the first two books in the series, I highly recommend that you do. The first two books give Kodiak and Tamaska’s back stories, how they met, how the vampires obtained the Blood Opal and why Tamaska and Kodiak are so heavily invested in retrieving it from the vampires. It is a paranormal romance with shifters, vampires, drama, action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, passion, chemistry, and danger lurking around every corner.
Tamaska is in hiding with Kodiak’s wolf pack from the vampires who are determined to get to her. For reasons unbeknownst to her the vampires need to mix her blood with the Blood Opal which will give them special powers. Kodiak will do anything to protect Tamaska, but his wolf pack does not feel the same way as he does about Tamaska. As far as they are concerned, she brought trouble to the pack that resulted in bloodshed and the loss of several members of their pack. Out of loyalty to Kodiak the pack reluctantly agrees to protect Tamaska but have a difficult time accepting her into their pack. Kodiak is trying to become Alpha of the wolf pack so he still must prove himself worthy of the title of Alpha. Tamaska could prove to be detrimental to this if his desire to protect her is perceived as weakness by the pack.
Tamaska is anxious to be turned into a wolf shifter but does not understand all the complications that the transformation process entails. Nobody, including, Kodiak will explain the transformation process to her because they want to protect her. What she does not realize is that she may die during the transformation process. She is determined to be transformed and become accepted by the pack but fails to try to understand how the pack works. To be accepted into the wolf pack and become one of them she must follow the rules of the Alpha, who will soon be Kodiak. Tamaska is used to being strong and independent, so she goes against Kodiak’s wishes, and this risks everything he was worked for as well as her acceptance into the pack. Tamaska’s stubbornness almost proves to be fatal when she does not listen to Kodiak and is attacked by a vampire. Lucky for her, Kodiak rescues her before it is too late. When Kodiak is captured by the vampires Tamaska is determined to save him but to do so she must be transformed into a wolf shifter. Will she find someone who will transform her? Will she survive the transformation process? Will she be able to save Kodiak?
This was another phenomenal book in this series! The author does a great job creating an engaging storyline with vivid scenes that fully immerse you into the story with the characters. Tamaska was strong, determined, stubborn, pigheaded, and independent to a fault. These characteristics almost cost her life when she went against Kodiak’s wishes. She felt that she could protect herself without stopping to think about how dangerous the situation was. Not only was she risking her own life but those of Kodiak’s wolf pack as well. Kodiak was strong, smart, loyal, and a born leader. He wanted to protect both Tamaska and his wolf pack at all costs. It was up to him to make the best decisions for his pack, which included Tamaska, but she failed to understand how pack mentality worked. Both Tamaska and Kodiak failed horribly at communicating properly with one another. She felt that she could protect herself and Kodiak felt he was protecting Tamaska by keeping things from her. It was interesting to see how strong Tamaska truly was when it came time to save Kodiak. A great read that kept me hooked until the end. I highly recommend this book!

Wow, this book was an explosion of action. Tamaska is at the heart of the shifter attack. She will do anything to keep the shifters safe, especially Kodiak. The vampires are on a rampage to get to her.
Tamaska needs to learn her place with the shifters and as always she is going to have to learn the hard way. If she wants to be part of the pack and not be exiled she better learn really fast. Even Kodiak is at his wits end.
Death, vengeance, loyalty, powers of the Blood Opal, and genetics all play a role in this fabulous third book. I need more of these characters.
Fantastic world building by the author and the writing follows seamlessly.

This one really goes on a ride! I enjoy Willow and the path she takes. I am mot a fan of witches as they are usually so sneaky. Willow surprised me. She seemed weak but shockingly she has a backbone. Campania is a master vampire with some pretty impressive powers. He seems a little cold and one sided until “it” happens. You know. That moment when he realizes he would do ANYTHING for her. That changed my mind about him. It was nice to see the characters from the previous stories. Their sass still reminds me of their stories and fun times. Overall another good installment to this series

Liz’s Road Trip by Bernadette Marie is an emotional yet hopeful little gem of a book!!!
The book opens on a pretty sad note. Liz Evans has just lost her beloved grandmother. As she is going through her things, she finds a letter that will completely change her life. Her Gran wants her to take her back to her home, in Florida. When she gets there, a mystery man, Mark, will tell her all about the Gran that she didn’t know. So, she embarks on a trip with Gran and Gran’s cat, Cosmo, that will possibly end up being an adventure that could finally lead her to a forever romance and a life filled with joy beyond her imagination!
At times, Liz was extremely frustrating for me. Her moods could swing from hot to cold, especially in her burgeoning relationship with Mark. I wanted to shake some sense into her, but as I sat back and digested more of her story, I began to understand her more and have sympathy for her. She just lost the woman who sacrificed so much to raise her after Liz’s mother died. In addition, she discovers that her grandmother had many secrets and had a life she knew nothing about. I imagine that Mark knowing those secrets impacted her relationship with him as well. It was all those complicated and complex emotions that made the book so good.
There were so many reasons I loved this book. I liked that Marie pulled on my heartstrings and had me really invested in the characters, especially Liz. Gran was not physically present in the book, but she played such a pivotal role in the plot and pacing of the book. She was still teaching Liz lessons after she was gone. My favorite thing about the book was the growth that Liz went through. She began the book as pretty self-centered, but by the end of the book, a lot of that self-centeredness was gone. Most importantly, she went from just living a good life to a life well-lived, and that is exactly what Gran wanted for her all along.
I haven’t read a book by Bernadette Smalls, but this one won’t be my last one. She is a very talented writer who knows exactly how to pull her readers smack dab in the middle of her story. If you like a sweet romance full of emotions, you should definitely give this one a try!!!!

This was a beautifully written story. I was not prepared to feel the level of emotions I did when reading this book. The story of Adrian and the typical rock and roll lifestyle, all the problems that is involved with that type of lifestyle and where he finds himself now. Alone, isolated from his band mates, toxic relationship with his father and his ex and now struggling to find the creativity to write new material for the band. His life feels like its spiralling out of control and then Hasting appears hidden on his tour bus. Hasting is 13 years old and a runaway. Adrian knows she needs to return home but when that proves no longer possible he realises he can’t leave her alone in this world. The connection between Adrian and Hasting grows as they both let down their guards and learn to trust each other. Hasting is synesthete which means she sees colour in music and musical notes. Could this insight be the key to unlock Adrian’s inability to write? There is so much to this story that apart from Adrian’s and Hastings growing friendship, there is also romance for Adrian’s and a vendetta from a journalist that threatens everything Adrian’s holds dear. This book is a gripping read that I couldn’t put down. Adrian isn’t a Saint and has made some questionable decision along the way however in his heart I believe he acted in the way he saw best at the time. The way he took Hasting in and cared for her was really heartwarming to see and it was amazing to watch their relationship grow and how they both helped each other in more ways than they even realised.
