The Crown of Stones: Magic Borne by C. L. Schneider Review by Darla Yocom
Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is book 3 of this series and the final installment, wrapping up this portion of the incredible dark fantasy fiction story.
I thoroughly enjoyed the fast pace of this book and series. I was hooked from the beginning and blown away by the twisted conclusion of this story. The build up, suspense, good vs evil back and forth, etc. was incredible. What an adventure!
I found the author’s ability to describe the extensive world and developed characters within this story quite illuminating. The vividness expressed quite a scary and dark setting and ambiance, which is perfect for readers who enjoy this type of a read.
Ian Troy’s character appears to be quite strong and resourceful. When he gathered the resistance and attempted to save the Realm, I found myself rooting for him immediately. He has a lot riding on his ability to successfully save as many folks as possible, which would have been a heavy responsibility to have sitting on his shoulders. By the end of the story, you’ll find yourself thinking or rehashing the story in your mind. It sticks with you.
If, like me, you enjoyed this series, you may also enjoy the continued adventures in this author’s additional creation of the series, Soulbound Journeys. This series will pursue the adventures after The Crown of Stones trilogy. I cannot wait to continue my reading adventure with the author’s future dark fantasy fiction creations.

Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This novel is not what I normally read due to easily triggered anxiety. However, I thought I would push my reading boundaries. Though within the first couple of chapters, the author had my hackles raised slowly! (Great for the psychological thriller aspect, not so good for my anxiety) The constantly turning story narrative kept the reader disjointed, which matches the main character, Jacklyn Stone, whose mental state was in disarray after the untimely loss of her husband of 37 years! All she wanted was to live with her husband and run the garden shop, but fate and an ungrateful child who believes they are owed more! The author hits on the paranoia of every parent and how their children will treat them when they are older! The way Jacklyn’s children, Rose and Dusty, acted activated my anger and frustration with what Jacklyn experienced at this “retreat”! Yet, Jacklyn doesn’t go down without a fight and starts to regain herself back through this whole ordeal! I learned this genre is not for me, but this book was well written and assuredly a great product for those of suspense and thrills!

This fantastic author presents us with wonderful, strong heartfelt characters, a fun storyline and enough steam at the right moments to keep you completely hooked from start to finish.

This is the third book in the series, and it was erotic goodness! The author has outdone herself yet again. This is another dark romance novel that had me entranced and left me speechless. I could not stop reading it and was so enthralled with it. I have become a HUGE fan of this author as I have been reading her series as of late and cannot wait to look for more of her books to read.

The Fighter by India Kells
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Juliet and Ten are in a bind and when Ten decides to take a chance at underground fighting their paths cross with Gage. One split decision from Gage turns their lives upside down. Soon the three have the wrong men interested in them. Can Gage find a way to help Juliet and Ten or will the bad guys get to them first?
While I found the storyline of this book an interesting one, I did not fall for the characters. Their story pulls you in at the start, but I quickly found the character development lacking for me. The characters are continually confused which I understand is a major part of the storyline, but it soon becomes annoying. The story keeps changing the direction of the romance and I did not like the build up of the story being a threesome and also highlighting the chemistry between the two men only to go in a completely different direction. In the end I was confused at the direction the romance went after the big buildup and attention paid earlier in the book to the connections between certain characters. The plot moves along at a good pace but ends abruptly and surprisingly for me.

A Veil of Gods and Kings by Nicole Bailey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the first book in this series and the first i have read from this author. I love how it sucks you in to the mystical world of Greek mythology. There is romance, suspense and fates intwined. Apollo has some huge decisions to make and his Father Zeus only wants and sees one outcome and thats for Apollo to take over as God of the Sun. But Apollo doesn’t want to ascend he is happy being a demi-god can his mind be changed. I cannot wait for the next book.
Behemoth (Grimm Wolves MC Book 1) by D.M. Earl – Review by Corine Lombardi-Quiles
Behemoth by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
As with everything in Francis’ life there is good and bad.
Will Francis, Grace and Damien be able to overcome their problems for a happily ever after or will fate once again cause chaos for them?
This was excitingly good.
The gripping hold that it has from the very beginning with a conclusion that has you ready for book 2.
An empath living a double like ….sexy firefighter and tough nomad.
This will have you screaming with joy and full of wonder.
Only time will tell us what destiny has in store for these amazing characters.
This was a different read then I’m use to but worth every page.

This author really knows how to tell a story. Francis (Stitch) is such an unusual character. I wasn’t sure were this story was going when I first started reading, but it blew me away by the time I reached the end. Francis and Grace are wonderful together, but Damien steal the story and my heart. This book is told from many different viewpoints and I really enjoyed getting everyone’s thoughts. This story is action packed from beginning to end. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store next.

Behemoth by D.M. Earl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book….and this is my first book that I have read from this author. When you meet Francis aka Stitch you cannot help but feel a heart wrenching story of his childhood that what he endured. He is not only part of a Motorcycle Club but he is also a firefighter. Everything changes with Stitch when he meets a wonderful little boy at the firehouse named Damien. When Damien’s mother, Grace, meets Stitch at first she was hesitant when she found out about the motorcycle club. Grace is a protector and strong and I loved that about her character. There is a reason why Grace wants to protect Damien from anyone whom belongs to an MC. Will Grace see past the kutte and get to know Francis aka Stitch?
This story flowed so easily and gave me so many emotions…I cannot wait to continue this series and see what happens next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was completely invested in this story from the first chapter. Definitely one of those books that draws you in immediately, rather than having to force yourself to keep reading for it to get interesting. Leave it to this author to create such intriguing characters. Francis had such a heartbreaking childhood, but manages to overcome his trauma and make the best of his “abilities”. I couldn’t help but have the feeling that there were more undisclosed parts to his gift, but I’m hoping that we learn more in other books in the series. I’m definitely sticking around to find out! Nevertheless, I loved seeing him get his happily ever after, after so many challenges along the way. A must read!

I have enjoyed reading your book .it was not what I expected from a motorcycle club book. Snitch has his physical and mental problems but he’s a good one. The interaction between Snitch and Damien is really moving .Grace has been through so much and is shaky, but willing to give a chance.Will there past be what binds them together.

Seven Strengths: A Tale from Turaset by P.L. Tavormina
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book had such a flow to it, that I couldn’t put it down! The title alludes to a children’s song in the book, and characters harken back to it periodically through the novel. Who can’t relate to the heroine, a reluctantly dutiful daughter who wants the freedom to make her own decisions about her life? Readers confront the effects of technology. So-called civilization is juxtaposed against rural life. Ultimately, the protagonist must decide how she wants to live her life, something we all must do at some point.

This book was a quick read and was so good. It sucked me in from the first page and I actually forgot it was a novella. When it ended I wanted more.

D.M. Earl is a new author for me, I found this book to be a page turn, keep me on the edge of my seat read. DM has the canny ability to make you see what each character looks like and you feel like you are experiencing the situation and emotions as well.
Francis N Stein, with a name like that you would expect him to be part of the Grimm Wolves MC but what you don’t expect, is a man with a big heart. Francis is a lost soul who really doesn’t have a lot of faith in humanity. His own parents torched him. Francis is also a firefighter who befriends a young student who has been torched as an infant as well. Situations and circumstances wither through Francis and Damien’s mom Grace together that the two can not deny the chemistry between each other but at what cost??

When I picked up this book, I was not sure what to expect initially….and I enjoyed this book very much. I love a good book with a futuristic YA sci fi feel. I was really pulled toward Celeste, even though she is young, she is strong and she wants more in life then helping to run an inn that her family has. Celeste jumps at a great opportunity to leave her home, but unsure it is all what is cracked up to be. Her family has powers and those powers can lead to danger. I would like to see more of what is to come in this series for sure.

Behemoth by D.M. Earl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book has wolves, romance, and thrillers. It has the best of multiple worlds.
How can a guy manage to live two lives at the same time? As a firefighter, one has honor, but as a Nomad in a Motorcycle Club, the other has doubts. Add to the already perplexing combination an incredible skill set that allows him to absorb the thoughts and feelings of others. Stitch, or Francis M Stein, is doing the best he can with the hand he’s been dealt. In both his firehouse and MC, he has found an extended family in his brothers. He is still alone, alone, and living a life of loneliness with little prospect of change in the near future.
He’s just existing. That is, until Damien, a little child, enters his life and shows him what he has been missing. Francis is now able to see a future for himself that involves a wife and children. Grace Sinclair is all he’s ever wanted in a woman and more. There is good and terrible in Francis’ life, as there is in everything. Will Francis, Grace, and Damien be able to overcome their difficulties and live happily ever after, or will fate intervene once more? Only time will tell if this is true.
I loved this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read more from this series.

D.M. Earl is a new to me author, and I will be trying a few more books to see if I really like the writing style. I didn’t read the synopsis for this book, so going into I thought this would just be another MC book, and then it turned out to be a paranormal MC book. I did not like the cliffhanger at the end, I like the books I read to give me all the answers, I don’t want to wait for the next book. So I will be getting book 2 to find out what happens next.

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning and excited to start this new MC series.
Francis, he is a firefighter and an MC member. He has scars inside and out that he is dealing with. Grace is trying to lay low and live life hidden as best as she can. Her ex is part of an MC that she wants no part of and her son Damien is adorable.
When Francis meets Grace there is something about her that pulls him right in. Will he open up to Grace about his past? What will happen when he learns Grace’s secret?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. My emotions were all over the place. All of the characters added a great element to the story, a few of them tugged at my heart strings. I loved Damien.
I have lots of questions that I’m hoping I will get answers to as the series progresses. The author does a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from her and the series. 1-click and get started today.

While this was a new author to me this will certainly not be the last book of theirs that I read. This story was captivating, enticing, and intriguing I just simply couldn’t put it down. This story was so full of emotions that it made my head spin on more than one occasion. Full of anguish, despair, drama, love and so much more that you really feel for the characters in this story. So if your looking for a good firefighter/motorcycle club story look no further and pick this one up today.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I have a lot of thoughts surrounding Behemoth but I can say I enjoyed the book overall and I do look forward to reading on in
the series. There were segments in the book where I felt like I was missing something, it was eluded that Francis could
often tell someone’s thoughts- even his brothers knew this but I never truly understood the context. I thought a couple times that I must have zoned out when reading and missed the backstory. The only other “criticism” I would have is that I expected a lot more “action” throughout the entire story line.
All of that said… the characters are FANTASTIC. Grace, Stitch and even the secondary characters tugged at my heart strings. I am really excited to see what this author and series has to offer because I am anxious to learn more and be involved in the inevitable character development. The book was a pretty fast read and did keep my attention. I would definitely recommend it if you like motorcycle clubs and relatable characters.

This is the first book, I’ve read by this author. The blurb had me interested in it the moment I read it. Francis “Stitch” Stein is an intriguing character who straddles the line of the law spectrum. The MC portion of the story in itself was everything that you expect in an MC novel. What you don’t expect is the backstory and the consequences of said backstory. It was a uniquely spun supernatural tale that kept me reading. Now onto Grace. I loved her and her adorable child. I loved the chemistry between all the characters. I did enjoy this book. I will be checking out others by this author.
