Knight In The Museum ( Jorja Knight Mystery -Book 5)Knight In The Museum by Alice Bienia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

Talk about coming in from the back of the pack, that’s exactly what I have done with this series. I wasn’t aware that this was the fifth book in the series. I am going back to the beginning though because I really enjoyed this one.

There is a bit of humour and a few twists in this intriguing murder mystery and let’s not forget thriller. Where our tough, no nonsense and straight shooter PI Jorja Knight is set on solving the mystery but there is more going on than meets the eye and that something is murder, although it may not be that simple. Is it a dangerous hidden plot or something otherworldly like a curse?

If you like thrilling murder mysteries, then Alice’s Knight in the Museum is just one of the books in this series that should satisfy your thirst.

Return to Gallanvaig: Beyond A Quirk of DestinyReturn to Gallanvaig: Beyond A Quirk of Destiny by Catherine Greenall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Return to Gallanvaig takes up two years after the first book in this trilogy A Quirk of Destiny and things have only gotten worse. It is a story set in a dystopian world which has gone mad and no longer resembles the world as we know it. It is a world in ruin. The sad thing is that it could well be a reality to come to fruition.

This dark and twisted tale has good pitted against evil. Is one necessarily better than the other? There are global conspiracies, mortal danger, deadly creatures, inevitable sickness and death, zombies and mutants with supernatural powers.

A post-apocalyptic tale like you have not seen before where science fiction meets real science.

How can those behind this terrible conspiracy and bringing destruction to the world be stopped?

Just as the first book did the ending is a bit of a cliff-hanger.

If you like post-apocalyptic sci fi thrillers, why not grab this trilogy and get stuck in.

I wonder how Catherine will bring the story to a close in the next book.

Amaleigha and the Big IdeaAmaleigha and the Big Idea by Janice Pratt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amaleigha is full of wonderful and colourful drawings that really brighten the story. It is a book aged for kids 4 – 7 who will be delighted as they go on this adventure with Amaleigha.

Amaleigha is one clever girl and has a passion that she wants to share it with others. There is a message here and it is not just for kids. Adults could use it too.

I read this story to my grandbabies, 5 and 3 ½ and they enjoyed it so much I had to reread it to them several times. It is a great idea for birthday or Christmas presents for your kids or grandbabies.

Jan has proven it is never too late to share your passion.

Can even biggest love critic be swayed? To find out you will need to grab a copy of Kamana Wanalaya an over-the-top fun and steamy holiday romance. It is an enemies to lovers tale and is set in one of the world’s most beautiful places Hawaii.

I enjoy a good Rom Com and that is what we get when we go on this journey where the She-grinch doesn’t believe in love and the Love Guru wants a chance to prove it. This hilarious and steamy romance tale will have you needing a good stiff drink. It will also have you laughing at their antics, banter and sassiness.

This is my first time reading anything by Susan, but it will not be my last because it is such a fun read to get lost in for a few hours.

Who doesn’t love some sun, sand, surf, sexy and steamy?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book with a passion! I could not get enough! There was so much intrigue, characters with great development, and of course a plot that sucked you in completely!

I am a sucker for mysteries, but throw in an potentially cursed item…you truly have me hooked! The book took off at a great build. I enjoyed how nothing was rushed, but yet was not too slow! I loved how Jorja had to really use her skill…deaths and more deaths. How were they connected? How can she make sense of it all? As the story went on, I was wanting more. The more I read, the more entertainment and intrigue I got. Loved it! I will definitely read more by this author-definitely hooked upon first read or should I say artifact?

Great author! Great read! And exceptional writing! I could not get enough, I was hooked all the way through, I very much enjoyed this book. And for sure, I highly recommend this book and author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Murder On Oak Street is the first book in the South Shore Mystery series and debut novel by I.M. Foster. As a debut novel, this proved to be well-woven and intriguing. It is an historical crime and investigation story set in the early 1900’s in Long Island.

We follow coroner’s physician, Daniel O’Halleran who leaves New York city for a fresh start on Long Island after being fed up with all the excessive bureaucracy and political play that came with his job, as well as being left at the alter by his fiancée on their wedding day- he’s definitely ready for a change. When an old unsolved murder case is brought to his attention, Daniel begins to investigate, and this is where things start to get interesting, especially when a new murder occurs. What happens makes for an intriguing and suspenseful read.
Looking forward to continuing this series.
Happy reading…

Thank you, I.M. Foster!

Murder on Oak Street is an historical mystery set in New York, 1904. I thought IM was a new author but soon realised that I have read many of her books which are historical time travel romances under her pseudonym.

Two murders two years a part could they be by the same person? Will the killer try again? Time is of the essence to try and find the killer before they strike again. That means that Daniel must reopen a case he worked on two years prior. Can he get the authorities to listen once and for all?

There is plenty of twists and turns, mystery, danger, murder, mayhem, angst, drama and suspense. All of that will keep you engaged and immersed in the story and the pages turning.

IM does a good job of incorporating the history of the time into the story.

I will leave it to you to read the book and discover what happens in this intriguing tale.

Grab a copy to give as a Christmas present.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging historical crime novel, with plenty of drama and suspense which had me gripped throughout. Set in New York, during 1904, and Daniel O’Halleran is the coroner’s physician for the city of New York, but after two years he’s grown more frustrated than ever. When his fiancé leaves him at the altar, Daniel packs up and moves on, accepting an offer to assist a local coroner in the small Long Island village of Patchogue. Life on Long Island is much slower than the city, but before long Daniel has a case. He’s surprised to discover the case that the local librarian, Kathleen Brissedon asks him to look into is actually a two year old murder case, which was the first one he ever worked on. Having never thought the verdict was right he agrees to investigate it, however, Daniel soon has a new murder to look into, and he quickly discovers that the two cases may be connected. Daniel needs to find out what the link is before another murder takes place in the South Shore village. I loved the main character, Daniel and thought he was a likeable and relatable character. The descriptive narrative brought the settings to life making me feel immersed in the storyline. The plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story, and I found this was a real page turner. I look forward to the next book in this new series.

I have to say that I am a fan of a really good murder mystery and this one did not disappoint. It is the first in a new series and I am definitely ready and waiting for the next book to come out! To me, one of the most important pieces of a murder mystery is that the author is able to keep you on your toes with all the twists and turns and keep you guessing until the end. This story definitely does not disappoint with that. I recommend reading this for a fast paced, keep you guessing old fashioned mystery!

This story was so much fun! It was just the kind of holiday read I was looking for. Teegan and Tenley were such amazing characters Their personalities lead to such amazingly fun banter between them. It also lead to such spicy scenes! I have to say that this is the first Susan Renee book that I have read, but it definitely won’t be my last. She was amazing at writing steamy scenes but also allowing for character development throughout the book. Both Teegan and Tenley developed both as individuals and as a couple. I will definitely be looking for more of her books to read over the upcoming holiday week!

This book really took off very quickly. It was just as good, maybe even better than the first book in the series! I was amazed with the story, characters, and the writing all the way through!

The story was realistic beyond means. I reflected so much as I read. It was a powerful read none the less to say the least! I enjoyed the book that took place after a time line of the first. I did not expect the epicness to be as extreme as it was! Death is all around the world, can the world be saved? The book was paranormal , yes, but how vivid it was made me fear what our world could become! Freaking amazing read!

If you have not read the first book, please do it right this minute. Do not walk-RUN!!! The author is amazing, and this story is not to be missed, the first book helps all make sense. Highly recommend this must read!

This is a great YA story that was a surprisingly quick and easy read. I loved the idea of this book from the moment I read the description and couldn’t wait to get started. I think overall it is a great book although I do wish at times it had a little more detail. However, I definitely became invested in the book and wanted to see how it would turn out.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I think she has the potential to be one I read more often. This book has all the signs of a great series and I am looking forward to book two, to see if I am right.

This is one of those books that is quick and easy to read because you get right into the story and can’t put the book down.
This is an author that really knows how to connect to her audience. All of her books and series are different and yet she nails it every time. I love how light-hearted she has kept this series and I think they have been wonderfully written. Any rom-com fan should check them out.

I enjoyed how they pulled me into the story from the start. This is a fast paced story that I read in one sitting as it is that awesome. This is an entertaining and easy to read story that you don’t want to miss, a must read. A story where life mates and rejection are real things. I really enjoyed this story. I highly recommend this story and this author.

This AMAZING Author brings together two total opposites, Tenley, a podcaster who preaches practical relationships and spurns the idea of love, and Teagan, the love guru who truly believes in love and all it can add to a persons life in such a fun and completely captivating way that I didn’t want to put his book down even for a second! With it’s wonderful storyline, fantastic cast of characters and fun steamy moments it is simply one you don’t want to miss. This is the first book I have read by this author but I am telling you now it definitely won’t be the last but simply the first of many! Her books are now being added to my Christmas wish list, I just hope my family are paying attention! LOL

Murder on Oak Street was a very great read even though it was a slow start. The pace of the story did pick up after a bit. The plot and the characters in the story were very good at intermingling. All of the plot twists kept you on your toes and kept you wondering what was going to happen next. I like how the story is based on how the characters behaved in the early 1900’s.

This book grabbed me from the very beginning. I have been a WWII buff for a while now and always enjoy a different turn on every story from that time. This is completely unique! I really love the magic and mysticism that encircles the little statues, and their unique capabilities. I could feel a sense of the danger surrounding the characters, and really enjoyed the descriptions of how music is more than just notes on a piano, but have a life of their own and can make a person feel ways they don’t naturally feel – the passion and freedom that can come from it. I could not guess where the story was going to go and was hooked the entire time. Truly a great read – and I will probably read it again and again!

I adored Enzo, he was just the sweetest character ever and I was rooting for him and Candi the whole way through. I did feel for Enzo at times and how his past had an effect on how he viewed any potential future relationships. Candi was a really relatable character, again things in her past have made her the way she is today.
This story was beautifully written and I would absolutely recommend it.

I have never heard of a dream shifter before. I really loved the idea of it and how the author put it into a book that not only I loved, but I think my ten year old will as well. Gwendolyn is a 12-year dream-shifter. She shifts into the animals that she dreams about. Fun right?! Well each night she prepares for the dreams and normally enjoys them. There is one catch to being a dream shifter though. If you wake up normally on your own you shift back to human. BUT if you get woken up suddenly (like from a fire alarm) you stay shifted! Crazy right?! Lets just say that her parents were shocked the first time it happened. Unfortunately, she learns that if you don’t shift back within a few months you get stuck in the form that you last shifted to!! So, she’s leaping around as an Elk and having fun, when she’s bolted awake from the fire alarm. They forgot to turn off the space heater that they used to make smores indoors. Not only is Gwendolyn stuck as an elk now, but their home burned down. To top off her already horrible night, she learns that it’s almost elk season! Which means she has to find a place to hide! Where do you hide an elk?? She’s stuck as an elk with no knowledge on how to turn back and now she must keep away from hunters! Thankfully she can speak English and she still thinks mostly like a girl. But how do you explain this to people? And who would believe her?! Getting the help from a magician that she’s a little scared of is her last resort, but she must. He gives her access to his magical library which she finds out that her grandmother’s written books are part of! Maybe she can find some answers finally!! He does end up having a book that might help, but for some reason she can’t get near it. Oh odd!! Will Gwendolyn spend the rest of her life as an Elk? Will she get hunted and killed during the season?! Hiding out at the magician’s house, putting on magic shows for kids to pay for room and board is just the start to this fun and interesting book!! I got sucked in and I hope my daughter will as well. I’m excided to share it with her. If you have never heard of a dream-shifter (like me) you are in for a treat!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this historical fantasy novel, it was a Irish family saga which had me hooked from start to finish. Although part of a series, I happily read it as a standalone story, however, having enjoyed it so much I am now keen to read the rest of the series. Set in Ireland in 1114, ageing warrior Maelan serves his chief with his bloodied blade, but he also has the unique ability of magical camouflage. His main aim is to provide a legacy for Orlagh, his seventeen year old granddaughter, so he’s horrified when she runs off with a disreputable bard. In order to go after Orlagh, Maelan will have to abandon his chief and risk dishonour. Having to risk disgrace and betrayal to bring his granddaughter home is a real dilemma for the loyal guardsman. The descriptive narrative really brought the characters and the setting vividly to life, and the added historical details made the time period realistic. The mix of historical elements and fantasy made this a real page turner.

The Final BiteThe Final Bite by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a short story that I absolutely LOVED!! I REALLY, REALLY hope that the author decides to either continue it later on or add to it somehow. I would love to read more of this story!! So, every 10 years the Gods choose a paranormal being, who was unjustly killed, and they get a second chance at life. Nice right? Well, there are rules though!! First, you only have three days to find and choose a mate. Second, you can’t use any powers to influence said mate (love potions, mind control, etc etc). Third, you can only choose one person. If that person doesn’t work out for any reason, you go right back to purgatory. No Second Chances within this second chance. Your chance is just lost! And lastly, you have to tell your chosen mate about the challenge and said rules. Maybe not so easy after all! Quinlan is the chosen one this decade and boy oh boy does he have his work cut out for him! The gods have placed him in a hotel, in wolf territory, and in the middle of nowhere. These Gods must be out to get him! At least they gave him three changes of clothes and some cash, but funny thing is that they forgot underwear! What the heck?! Was that on purpose?? What are these silly Gods up to!!? Day one is passing quickly. By the time he catches some animals to eat (as he is a vampire) and looks around the SUPER small town he’s ready to get some sleep and work out a plan for this challenge. Scoping out the town at night might bring some more answers about the town and it’s residents. Will he be able to find a mate time? Three days in a small town with less people could be a big issue. Maybe he needs to take a day to travel somewhere else and up his chances? With not much money he won’t be able to get far. Should he let the alpha in the area know about his challenge? He doesn’t want to tick off the locals and have a wolf war on his hands too! Man oh man you are in for a treat with this one! Like I said it is a short story, but the author packs in some great stuff in those few pages. Give it a shot and see what Quinnlan ends up doing AND what he ends up dealing with.

Murder on Oak Street is the first book in A South Shore Mystery Book series. I was intrigued by the blurb about the book and that I had not read this author before. I am excited to have read this book and look forward to more from this series. Daniel O’Halleran is frustrated by the politics and red tape he faces in his job as the coroner’s physician. When he changes to a new city, an old case is brought to his attention. Will he finally get closure on the case? Also, is it related to a recent murder?
The characters are great and leave me wanting to learn more about them. I also enjoyed the twists of not only the old case but the new one as well. If you enjoy historical fiction with mystery and suspense, this is a great book to get your hands on.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luv, luv, luv this book!!! I am in for all the future Rom Com Movie Nights!!

Lisa, Tina, Mindy and Ruby, the members of the Rom Com Movie Club. The group is all flustered because Tina is getting married soon and the tension is starting to mount. Once the girls all get to this month’s location, Lisa’s condo, they put on their facial masks, paint their toes and settle into the month’s selection. Soon, an unexpected ring of the doorbell brings Tina’s fiance and his very single, very delicious brother bearing cookies. Despite first meeting with Lisa covered in avocado mask and pj’s, there is an instant spark with Ryan. In a matter of days, Ryan and Lisa are inseparable. She knows this is all too fast. Probably too fast, so it won’t last. But for Lisa, that is the norm, people never stay.

From the beginning, everybody warned Ryan that Lisa had baggage. Even Lisa kept telling him that eventually he would tire of her and leave, she would understand. Ryan was unsure of how to handle this. When he thought of Lisa, he thought forever. As he started to get to know her more, Ryan started to understand where these statements came from, but he was determined to make sure that Lisa knew that his forever was truly forever. As the wedding came closer and happened, family, ex’s, history and even friends tried to get the way of the HEA for these rom com junkies. Will Lisa and Ryan get their HEA?

I love these characters. The sisterhood is magical!! I hope that we get to continue to see them in the next books.

If you are even the slightest bit into stories of the paranormal and steamy romance, I would take a shot on this book! (And even if you aren’t because you will be.) This author is excellent at telling stories that are intriguing and making paranormal characters not only relatable but compelling. I picked up this book and could not put it down. I love paranormal stories – not so much romance, but I loved this one. Quinnlan Trinity is a vampire who must choose a mate in three days or be sent back to and remain in the afterlife. This creative story will keep your eyes glued to the pages as they flip. It is easy to read and get lost in. 5 stars.
