The Crown of Stones Trilogy Box Set (The Crown of Stones Series) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Crystal Jimmo

The Crown of Stones Complete TrilogyThe Crown of Stones Complete Trilogy by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 1 5 stars
This book was absolutely fantastic! The story arc, the background story in the beginning, character development, so many good things I can’t decide where to start first. I usually read female protagonists because they are more relatable for me, but wow reading about Ian and his struggles made me think of my own. This author absolutely hit it out of the park. Ian struggles with who he is and what his power does to him if he uses it. He makes a decision in which he thought was right at the time, but now is paying for it dearly. Will he come to accept his magic and what it does? Or will he fall into the addiction it brings and never look back again?

Book 2 5 Stars
I highly highly suggest reading the first book first, as this does pick up where book one left off. Just when I thought this series couldn’t get any better, the second book blows it out of the water. Ian is literally left with nothing. No memories, no money, no weapons, nothing. He has to go through his light trying to figure out how to with his magic all over again, how he is linked to the crown of stones, and how to be a leader all over again. High expectations are set on Ian when the rebellion needs him and his magic and his connection to the crown of stones. In this thrilling second installment of Crown of Stones, be prepared to have an adventure because this second book sure takes you for a wild ride!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Art of Deception is the seventh book in the Notebook Mysteries series. I have enjoyed this series quite a bit. This novel includes family drama, mystery, and intrigue to keep the reader turning the pages. I enjoy the strong female lead and her investigative skills. The story is appropriate for younger readers as well as adults and can be read on one sitting like I did!

The Veil (The Veil Realms Series Book One) by Karli Rush – Review by Rita White

What a fantastic book! This rating is more like a 4.7. I can not wait for the next one. This is the first time reading this author and will not be the last. This book takes us from a normal life to it being taken completely away in the blink of an eye. An earthquake opens up another world of aliens and other unworldly beasts. Life as Selene and Rayden is forever changed. We then get Sirius, and I can’t wait to read about him and his world. Fantastic read!

Forever to Fall (Buckeye Falls Book 5)Forever to Fall by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is part of a series, but it is truly a stand-alone book as well. I love the small town setting. The author certainly gets it right when she portrays life in rural America- especially the fact that many people have to commute to “good” jobs. The lifelong love of the main characters began in childhood, and took many twists and turns. The theme of family is featured strongly throughout this book.

Wheel of Evil is the third book in the Hani’s Daughter series. Neferet is back with a new mystery to solve. Her uncle got involved with some bad business dealings and people have been turning up dead. Both Neferet and her father, Hani, start investigating in their own ways. Will they be able to solve the mystery together? This is another great addition to this cozy mystery series. The author takes us on a journey through Ancient Egypt and what a journey it is. I enjoyed this final book in the series. I liked that the author had Neferet and her father working together to solve this mystery.

Forever to Fall (Buckeye Falls Book 5)Forever to Fall by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to this latest instalment, and I was not disappointed. Childhood sweethearts Mallory and Beckett married in a pretend wedding on Beckett’s family Apple farm. Mallory still treasures those memories fifteen years later, but now it’s her brother Evan and fiancé CeCe who are getting married. Beckett is returning to his family’s farm having lost his grandfather. He has many memories surrounding his childhood home and they tend to involve Mallory, the love of his life. As maid of honour and best man Mallory and Beckett are spending a lot of time together which is making it hard to deny their feelings for one another and their obvious chemistry. Fearing that Evan won’t support them dating the couple decide to date in secret. However, as their relationship develops they can’t keep it a secret for ever. This is a heartwarming and sweet romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Once again the small town of Buckeye Falls, where everyone knows each other was brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative. Mallory and Beckett are both likeable and relatable characters and their chemistry came across in the story. I loved being back in Buckeye Falls and I have been hooked by each story in this enjoyable and engaging series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This MC romance kept me hooked throughout. The series focuses on the members of The Merciless Few MC and this is Fiend’s story. Fiend has a difficult past including suffering with a major injury. He knows he’s made lots of mistakes and doesn’t think he deserves happiness or love. This is a fast paced, page turner with plenty of drama, suspense, angst and MC romance. The storyline took me on an emotional rollercoaster and the descriptive narrative brought the world of the MC vividly to life.

As with the rest of the series, this book is a brilliant novella about two strong and interesting characters. Although this book could be read as a standalone, I definitely wouldn’t recommend it. For me, this is one of those books that would be better for having read the previous two books.
I loved the story. It matched the characters so well and I was pulled into it right from the start. This author is one I never fail to enjoy, and it is books like this that show me why. I thoroughly enjoyed reading more of this series I am hope there is more to come.

Her Sapphire Blade: An Arthurian-Inspired Portal Fantasy Novel (Guardians of Camelot Book 1)Her Sapphire Blade: An Arthurian-Inspired Portal Fantasy Novel by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Guardians of Camelot Series. This was a really enjoyable fantasy adventure. It was packed with action, twists, secrets, deceptions and finding your true place where you belong.

Morgan has grown up in London with her Aunt Nim. She’s always had magic but it’s very weak. She thinks of herself as a normal person. And even though her Aunt tells her stories about Camelot, and the fact she is a princess Morgan believes they are just stories made up to entertain her as a child. They couldn’t possible be true right?

When her Aunt Nim is attacked and killed Morgan is transported to Camelot. She is told she needs to fight to prove herself and regain her claim to the throne. But can she do it? Is she really this powerful witch everyone seems to think she is? Will her magic even work? And will she be able to overcome all the challenges and obstacles in front of her?

This was a captivating read that I couldn’t put down. I can’t wait to read more.

Her Sapphire Blade: An Arthurian-Inspired Portal Fantasy Novel (Guardians of Camelot Book 1)Her Sapphire Blade: An Arthurian-Inspired Portal Fantasy Novel by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Her Sapphire Blade is the first book in the Guardians of Camelot series. It is an exciting portal fantasy that draws on Arthurian legends within a modern setting. Morgan lives in modern London, in a world where magic users are discrete but present in society. Her own magic is weak in comparison to those around her, but this changes when she returns to Camelot, a land she knows only from fairy stories.

I enjoyed the cast of characters in this book. I hope we get to see more of Taron and Talia in the rest of the series! Morgan meets many different characters as she navigates the tournament at the centre of this book, it will be interesting to see who comes back in the later books.

I found the tournament plot particularly enjoyable to read after watching lots of Olympic events this summer! It’s kind of like fantasy Olympics and reading those scenes felt like the tension of watching sports and hoping my favourite athletes did enough to get to the next level.

This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend it to fans of urban fantasy and mythology-inspired stories. I’m looking forward to the next book!

Be My Little Baby (London Detective Agency Series) by Stephanie R. Caffrey – Review by Mary Espinoza

Be My Little Baby (London Detective Agency Book 2)Be My Little Baby by Stephanie R. Caffrey

Be My Little Baby (London Detective Agency Book @) by Stephanie R. Caffrey is my first read by this author and she delivered! Of course, like always, I have not read the first book of the series, but I didn’t feel to left behind by starting with the second book. I will be going back to read the first book so that way I can get the full gist of the second book. I thought that the story flowed well and like I said, that is without having the information from the first book in the series. I was captivated by Tessa and James’ interactions with each other. Tessa is a new bakery owner and expects that it will take a while to get her business off the ground, but she is in for a big surprise! Unfortunately for Tessa, she has acquired a stalker who will not leave her be, so Tessa has to seek help from James (the detective). James tries his best to keep things with Tessa strictly professional, but there is something about her that makes him want to break his own rules. I thought that this book was entertaining, funny, very well written and just overall a good story. I will definitely be going back and reading the first book in the series, and I encourage you to pick up a copy and read for yourself!

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a great trilogy….and I love dark fantasy. I definitely recommend this series. It has so much to love…action, fantasy, danger, magic…..The story-telling from CL is top notch.

Book 1 The Crown of Stones Magic Price
Wonderful fantasy story….Magic, mayhem, drama, danger and suspense that had me totally engaged to see what happens next. Ian Troy is a bounty hunter that is living in exile…paying the price of war. When his past comes crashing in will Ian Troy protect his people and land within his magic when he sworn off to use it…..

Book 2 The Crown of Stones Magic Scars
This story was fantastic!! Magic, mayhem, drama and darkness… this fast paced story has it all. I very highly recommend reading Book 1 as this is Book 2 in the series and picks up a couple of years later where Ian Troy wakes after being imprisoned for 2 years….Drugged and beaten… Ian is tortured and comes around unbeknownst to him…a prisoner after 2 years….not remembering what happened. Of course King Draken is at his full rule and cruel and dark as ever. Ian Troy is rescued and trying to put the pieces back together especially trying to find the truth still in the Crown of Stones….

If you love a gripping fantasy story I very highly recommend this series.

Ooooo this I’m loving this cover ! It’s one of those you just want to climb into and enjoy for yourself 📚❣️

My bags are packed , my passport is ready , sunscreen and snorkel ready , I’m heading out 😉

So Hope has been working at the Rosemont Inn and has been dating Kyle for 2 years , life in Chicago is good , there’s a promotion up for grabs at the Inn and she applies , confident she’s going to get it , life seems good but life does have a way of throwing you a curveball or 2 at times and it would seem poor Hope not only doesn’t get the promotion but Kyle decides to move on to greener pastures 🤷‍♀️🙈

Don’t fret things do look up when she wins a dive resort in St Croix in the Virgin Island with a raffle ! I know what luck she had ! Change is as good as a holiday and those turquoise waters are just what she needed and didn’t even know it 😉well I do think Alex also plays a role 😍

The previous owner ups and leaves but instead of hitting panic stations Hope takes it in her stride but the staff were very good and so supportive , they’re their own little family really 🤗

Alex has scars but the island life seems to be good for him and as a dive master he’s living a good life but Hope lights a spark within that he didn’t think he’d feel again…..they’re each others healing balm actually and in such a beautiful setting !

I loved watching Alex and Hope evolve , heal and create their own story 🥰 looking forward to the rest of the series ❣️📚

Here is a little review of each amazing book of this trilogy.

This is the first book in this series by this truly talented author and I am telling you now I can’t wait for more. I was completely hooked from start to finish! I don’t want to go into too much detail about storyline as I don’t want to give too much away so I will just say that it is such an intricately woven and creative storyline, so packed full of action that you will not be able to resist turning page after page! I felt so fully immersed in this world. I truly could imagine everything that was happening and envision it so clearly thanks to the fantastic writing of this author. I can’t explain how or why it happened so quickly but Ian weaved his way into my heart right from the start and I know he will stay there for a very long time which is definitely not something I expected when starting a Fantasy series! If magic, adventure, intense drama and suspense are your thing then this series is for you!

I said it with the first Book and I will say it again I was completely hooked from start to finish! In fact I think this book had me even more hooked because i literally could not put it down. Again I don’t want to go into too much detail about storyline as I don’t want to give too much away but I will say we see Ian again after 2 years of being drugged, tortured and imprisoned. How quickly and completely this author gets me so fully immersed in this world is truly amazing. I could so easily imagine everything that was happening and envision it so clearly thanks to the fantastic writing of this author. I am not wasting a single minute before moving on to book 3.

OMG!! I thought the first two books had me hooked but damn this one REALLY kept me turning page after page and ignoring everything else around me! Sorry family LOL. I had to see how it would all turn out. I really went on a far more emotional rollercoaster then I would have initially expected from a Fantasy series. This author truly is AMAZING, creating characters, storylines and worlds that weave into your heart in totally unexpected ways. This should not be read as a standalone. You MUST start from the beginning of the series to fully enjoy this captivating, action packed world. You wont be disappointed in any way! Ian you will always hold a small piece of my heart.

Falling Down (The Rockstar Series) by Anne Mercier – Review by Deborah Joseph

Falling Down (ROCKSTAR)Falling Down by Anne Mercier
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lucy- actress, model, can play instruments and sing… Has family in the mafia that keeps her safe. Everything is basically handed to her on a silver platter with no hard work put in.

Jesse- a rockstar who Lucy has had a crush on since 7th grade.

Lucy is a fan girl of Jesse, literally even when she is 23 she still acts like a teenager around him. She meets him in an airport and gets his autograph and then years (6) later she is a dancer in one of his music videos. Even though they had only met that once he still remembered her and her name… weird…. She has no control over her emotions and even though she is some big actress she doesn’t know how to act normally around other stars?

I get this is fiction, really I do, but this book has no plot and doesn’t seem realistic AT ALL… which makes it harder to even relate with the MC and get sucked into the book.

Crush since 7th grade. Even reasoned with her cousin when they started seeing each other how she had been fantasizing about him since she was 12.
MFC is 23 but never says how old the MMC is… is this an age gap romance?
Any girl Jesse has slept with in the past are all “sluts” and “whores”… childish much? Oh wait, it gets better… any female who is not a family member are “sluts” and “whores” *Insert eye roll here*
Somehow throws a band together and makes an album in 10 days? I get it her rockstar boyfriend called in some favors to help her… but 10 days?!?! Okay!
Plus so much more! The sex scenes aren’t that great, so if you came for the smut this is not the one for you.

This book is a quick read but I just didn’t like it at all. I was trying to find another rockstar story to love like the first one I read… and this one just isn’t it! I will not be reading any of the other books in this series.

He utters a single word before his death that sets off an investigation by the two women. The author includes a glossary of terms and a character directory which was very helpful.

The Rebirth: Part One (Planet Amazon #0)The Rebirth: Part One by Crystal Dawn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It all started with a book about the Amazon society and it’s advanced populace and technological domination, so when a chance to open a door to this almost magical place appeared, there was no other answer than yes, especially when the opportunity came up for actually going through it!

This was not the reality when opening her eyes for the first time after travelling through the doorway, however, a very friendly queen showed her their current society and what made it that way. As some things clicked into place and a new way of life was found, it also left more questions than answers, but at the same time, unconventionally comforting.

One surprise was the physical and emotional reaction to two men in particular, the desire and fate surrounding the inevitable was hard to resist, but will a way home be found and normality resumed, or will this way of life become something loved? This is a sci-fi romance with plenty of action and adventure throughout which will keep you rooted to your seat.

Dark is the Wood is the first book in the Enchanted Tales with Dragon Scales series by Kristin Ward. Gillian’s brother has caught the illness that has taken the lives of many. She heads into the Shadowlands to find a way to save him. Getting kidnapped was not what she had planned. The world building was really good, but I was a bit disappointed with the characters. I like a good enemies to lovers story, but there was more enemies than lovers in this book. There were several aspects that I think were rushed when they shouldn’t have been. Overall I do think this was a great idea, and a worthwhile read. I plan to pick up the next book and also check out what else Kristin Ward has to offer.

5 Stars

 

Soul Sacrifice by Courtney Davis is yet another example of why she is one of my favourite authors. I can’t believe more people haven’t heard about her books- because she really knows how to weave a fantastic tale. I have read most of her books now and just adore her work- she really is an amazing storyteller who produces fresh, original, and creative stories that fire my imagination and leave me wanting to stay in the ‘worlds’ and stories she creates. I have definitely developed an addiction to her work…
This a captivating urban fantasy with a dystopian setting/dystopian society, caste-like system, romance, very original premise, soul mates, agendas, danger, drama, high stakes, action, adventure, tension, intrigue, chemistry, suspense, a quest, gods, a soul curse, self-discovery, emotion, secrets/deception, betrayal, a race against time, politics/government conspiracy & control, the haves and have nots, and much more.
The world has been cursed by the gods. A society of Fullsouls, Halfsouls, and Nosouls- where Halfsouls not only need to find their soul fragment, but then battle it out for the chance of a Fullsoul life. Oh yeah- sign me up. I’m in. Ms. Davis had me completely captivated by the synopsis before I had even read one word.
Ebony is a Halfsoul who desperately needs to find the other part of her soul. But in the society she lives in, she practically has no rights, and will need some ‘expert’ help to track her soul-half down…. time is running out. The most successful searcher is Lark Duport and his team, and so Ebony seeks them out hoping they can help. But their initial ‘meeting’ doesn’t go so well, so it looks like she’s on her own in the search for her Halfsoul. But Lark has a change of heart and they are soon thrust into a dangerous adventure that neither could have really predicted. Things are not quite what they seem – and what they uncover has far reaching implications. What happens makes for a fascinating read. This is one adventure you won’t want to miss.
The story is told from multiple POVs, which gave me a deeper perspective of what was going on. I really would love to read more from this ‘world’, and characters, and find out what happens now that the ‘team’ have a better grasp of what happened/going on.
Highly recommended!!!
Can’t wait to see what Ms. Davis has in store for us next!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Courtney Davis!
