My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was excited to read this third and final book in the ‘Rebecca Steele’ series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was great being back with the wonderful Becky and to be fully immersed in her world again. I would recommend reading the previous books in the series, not just because they are a fab read, but because this continues her story. As usual I felt engaged with Becky who is such a likeable and relatable strong main character, and it was nice that her daughter Cassie took a more prominent part in the storyline. Although Becky is enjoying her life on the country music stage, when she faces some adverse conditions, once again she needs her strength, resolve, attitude and faith to see her through. As well as her old friends turning up in the story the author also keeps things interesting with some new faces. The exciting storyline and plot twists kept me hooked from start to finish and I just couldn’t stop reading. I’m disappointed that this is the last book in the series and I will miss Rebecca Steele, but this was definitely a good send off for her.

The time travel mixed with the paranormal kept me wanting to read more and more. This is my first book by this author. They really made this world come alive with the details. I was transported into this world.

Forbidden Moon (The Shadow Chronicles Book 3) by CR Robertson – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Forbidden MoonForbidden Moon by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Levi and Tasha are back and they are still fighting for their lives, as well as for the lives of their families and friends, as the hellspawn continue to attack their military bases, the vampires and the lycans are putting aside their differences and the allied forces they have created together finally believe they can work together and a truce has been called between the two races. Meanwhile, the hellspawn are becoming stronger and more daring in their attacks, but the allied forces weaponry is advancing at a much faster pace, albeit everyone is on edge and exhausted, they continue their fight against the swarming darkness.

As the battles continue, Tasha is looking into the history of their races to try and figure out their origins and why she has the magical powers within her, this is all while studies are being made into the different breeds of hellspawn and what makes them so strong, as well as unravel the mysteries as to why they are determined to destroy the two mates. On one of their information gathering excursions something goes awry and nearly destroys the bond between them, however, as they frolic under the light of the full moon and relive an encounter from their past in the most passionate way possible, an ancient power returns and a truth is revealed which may just be the key to their survival.

Despite this, the danger surrounding them doesn’t lessen as they recover from one shock after another a new kind of hellspawn emerges and as they attempt to break the connection between Tasha and Levi it just makes them more determined to find each other again, but will they come together in time to stop the Hellspawn plans for domination, or will the world as they know it come to an end? This is a paranormal romance with plenty of action and adventure to keep you hooked as two opposing species come together to fight an intolerable evil which preys on all without discrimination in this addictive fantasy adventure.

ConQuest: The Art of Selling At ConsConQuest: The Art of Selling At Cons by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is chock full of information for authors on how to sell at geek and nerd cons. The author shares her wisdom on everything she knows about how to sell your book successfully. Her knowledge stems from years of experience selling at cons and she includes personal stories of learning experiences from selling her books over the years. It includes tips on how to set up your table, how much inventory to bring, and how to pitch your book to potential buyers. It even includes pictures!

I loved how this book was laid out and found it very easy to read. It was informative and packed full of information. The author clearly knows her stuff and has gained her knowledge from her own personal experience. I highly recommend this book to anybody who is considering selling their books at geek and nerd cons.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book three of this series by this author. This one was just as good as the previous two books in my opinion. This author is such a great writer. I love her visualization process and how it has progressed throughout each book. These characters are fantastic. I feel like they are my own friends and family just living in a different state. That’s how real this series has been to me. As with the previous two books I couldn’t put this one down and was gripping the edge of my seat throughout several chapters. While I was hoping the author would continue with this series I think she did a wonderful job closing the chapter and ending it. However, I do hope that maybe she will change her mind and perhaps do a spin-off at some point in the future. I highly recommend this for anyone that loves “western” themed stories. If you like the show “Yellowstone” you will like this series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the third and final book in the series and I was looking forward to seeing how Becky and Chances life panned out as I had really enjoyed the previous book.
For the first half of the book I was really enjoying being back in Becky and Chance’s world. Then came the twists and I was like “WHAT?” No Way!! I won’t mention what the twists were as I won’t give spoilers but I have to say that I really didn’t enjoy the book after that. It totally spoilt it for me.
I have read a lot of other reviews and almost everyone is raving about how good the book is, so I guess I’m out on my own but I really didn’t like the direction that the book took from this point.
I will say that the book is very well written and the author does a great job of writing great characters, so it’s not all bad and I did love the first half of the book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This whole series has really hit me in the feels and has grabbed my attention to the point where I finished most of these three novels within the course of two weeks. Tasha and Levi’s family are all together, fighting the evil that has descended upon them to protect what’s theirs, and what will continue the legacy of these fated mates, or as I like to think of them, these star-crossed lovers. The world did seem to be against them, with every turn, but as these strong individuals came together, true love conquers all, or at least, that’s what we hope for with this lovely finale of a fantastic series.

I was on the edge of my seat, laughing as the Tasha and Levi bickered, only to make up in very hot scenes, cringing whilst these species fight together against the greater evil, and my heart swelled as this adventure came to a close. I love how the author included many of the supporting characters to give them a chance to shine and prove that it takes a village for so many things to prosper. Can’t wait to read more by this author and have recommended these novels to many. Well done!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shake Loose the Border (Thunder on the Moor Book 3) by Andrea Matthews. This book was sooo good. Its a time traveling, paranormal romance. Its the story of Maggie and Will who are getting married soon. One day they find Johnnie Hetherington’s body tied to a tree on their property. Of course the police question Will and his family though its pretty obvious that they didn’t do it. It is decided the Wedding can proceed but shortly after the other Clan attacks them sending Maggie going back to another time to be safe. Will finds himself in trouble again and its going to take everything Dylan has to save him. The Scottish time seems so beautiful and I truly felt like I was there. I really believe this can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading them in order to truly understand all that’s going on. Will Dylan be able to save Will or will he end up losing everything? Read this amazing paranormal, time traveling romance!

Forbidden MoonForbidden Moon by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

While I still enjoyed this last installment of the series, I, unfortunately, did not enjoy it as much as the first 2 books. I feel that Tasha’s character had started to become a little too perfect and even less interesting. A lot of her developments and strengths over other characters just didn’t make sense. I, once again found myself wishing that there was more Levi. Even though he has a good amount of chapters, he brings balance. He is a much more mature character. Tasha is exactly the same as her book 1 young adult self. Despite being a mother and older she only grows in abilities but not maturity.

There were also plot points that seemed important but then dropped. I also feel like a lot of what balanced Tasha and Levi was lost with the development of the characters in the end. I get what the author was trying to do but there is a beauty to the characters remaining what they are and being different from one another. They had already incorporated quite a bit of each other’s abilities in themselves, which was great. It felt like it negated the whole idea that they were the only ones who accepted each other for who they were. On the other hand, I was surprised at how I liked the witches. I also absolutely loved seeing more Dominic. I hope that the author gives him a series of his own. It would be awesome to see a romance with Charlotte and have Levi and Tasha come back as supporting characters in that one. All of that being said, I still enjoyed this book a lot.

Forbidden MateForbidden Mate by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow! Forbidden Mate is even better than book 1! This book sees Tasha and Levi’s fight against their detractors continue. There’s more of everything. More action and more sweetness and love between Tasha and Levi. I love that they are an unquestionable unit here. They have faith in each other and their love. Tasha’s story with Castus takes center stage and it’s a doozy. I felt all of Tasha’s anguish and fear as well as her relief and love. I loved getting to see her parents, especially her dad, step up to protect her. Caine made me stand up and cheer. I am so glad there was more to him than Tasha initially thought. I loved the resolve to her saga with Castus. It was very cathartic. I especially enjoyed seeing Levi’s protection, love, and worry. I can’t get enough of this series.

Forbidden Wolf is the first book in The Shadow Chronicles series and it is a homerun! From the first page, I was hooked. I absolutely adore Levi! I would have actually loved more focus on Levi. I feel that he is a more interesting character. I love a good wolf story and this book does not disappoint. The action scenes as well as the whole book are very well written. I found myself unable to put it down. The romance is on point and I found myself caring not only for the main characters but their loved ones as well. The plot is well done and it makes you want to jump right into book 2.

Slick Running (Satan’s Devils MC #3) AUDIO BOOK by Manda Mellett – Review by Shelly Kittell

What an adrenaline ride! From the beginning the story grabs you. It’s well-written with a plot full of twists, turns and lots of adventures. The characters are all quite the personalities, and yet, somehow they all blend into a terrific story that you just can’t stop listening too. The narration is again done by fantastic narrators. They keep you engaged and wanting to find out what’s going to happen. I love this series and I have been reading it on Kindle. The narration just grabs you and gets the adrenaline going because you can feel that action even more when the story is read. Overall, I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. Terrific story that will keep you going until the last page. I highly recommend it.

Chain Reaction was the perfect sequel for the Nite Fire series! Our heroine is as even bigger badass in this edition! Horrible things are happening in The Sentinel and our team of heroes is on the case. Difficult decisions and serious character growth occur. And of course, tons of action to keep you on your toes! Dahlia’s world is only growing in complexity as she tries to make sense of it all. I can’t wait for what comes next!

Apocalypse Thoughts (The Pox Series Book 5) by Kendra Griffin – Review by Moriah Venable

Apocalypse ThoughtsApocalypse Thoughts by Kendra Griffin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a fun and different read then what I would generally read.

Spring Break in Georgia for Kella O’ Malley turns deadly when people start to become cannibals.

Time is ticking to deliver something important on the path of the Appalachian Trail, with the help of other people she may be able to keep herself and little brother alive.

This reminded me of ‘The Walking Dead’ meets ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ which is one of my favorite shows. I don’t care for zombies too much but the premise was something I could not resist.

Being set during a pandemic also gives the impression of the COVID pandemic that we are currently still presently in or this could be a future where zombies exist. There are so many stories and tv shows about zombies and with each one, I know I do not wish to be apart of it. And if I am, I can hope I can be similar to Kella as far as her role.

I think this was written well and kept me engaged. I recommend for people looking for something different to read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I could not wait to start reading the second installment in this series, and let me tell you, this author really does not disappoint. I love when a series picks up right where it has left off, rather than skipping a few years, and that is what you can expect from this novel. She is so thorough in her world and character building that there are rarely questions left unanswered. I have to say, I am very glad that we were quickly introduced to another member of Tasha’s family, giving us more of her background and a greater appreciation for all that her family did to protect not only her, but her sister, Kimber, too. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader captivated, as well as having me once again chomping at the bit to commence the third installment to see what happens next!

This series explores a few different genres, the paranormal aspect, the action and the romance has captured my attention and has certainly had me having some of the coolest, yet weirdest dream that I’ve experienced in a long time, not that I’m complaining! I highly recommend giving these novels a read, and other works by this author.

*Howls into the moonlight. * This is exactly what I have been looking for to fill my time. Not only does this novel have a dystopian vibe to it, but it has your supernatural, romantic, forbidden love aspects all tied into one lovely package. I honestly didn’t want to put it down, and I’m so excited to embark on the next two installments, very happy that I waited until there was more than the first to start embarking on this adventure.

The authors writing style, her ability to draw you into the dark woods and fall for both the main characters, is astounding. The introduction of other characters and enemies is flawless, and you really bond with Tasha and Levi right from the start. The development of these characters and their fight to stay together and continue to understand each other as they change/mature, fight for what they believe in is heart-warming. I have recommended this series to others, and please excuse me while I dive deep into the next. Must read!

So I have seen others write that reading this AMAZING book and conclusion to this series has been bittersweet for them and I totally agree, that is a really good way to describe how I was feeling too! I was so excited to continue the story and find out what was going to happen and yes, once again I was completely hooked from page one but at the same time I didn’t want my time with these fantastic characters and this amazing world to end. The need to know won out of course and I devoured the book as quickly as possible! If I could give more than 5 little stars I absolutely would!
With the Vampires and Lycans now coming together to go against the Hellspawn you just know there is going to be non stop action…Can they come out the other side of all this victorious? you have to read this to find out…no spoilers given here But I will say this…you are crazy if you don’t get reading this book NOW!!

They have gone from enemies to fated mates and now have to decide what they can and can’t believe from Lies told for centuries! As they delve into things looking for answers I swear at times more questions arise then actual answers. I am totally hooked on these characters and this world even if Castus gives me the creeps!
If you haven’t read Book one I HIGHLY recommend no make that you HAVE TO read it first! Believe me it is worth it!

If you love paranormal books then you have read plenty featuring not only Vampires and Lycans but also it seems their almost traditional hatred for each other, this series brings a brand new twist.
Tasha ( a vampire) and Levi (a Lycan) are suppose to be enemies but their connection and dare I say undeniable chemistry makes staying that way impossible. Of course things don’t go smoothly, that would be boring right but I promise you, you will thoroughly enjoy every twist and turn along the way. Bring on book 2.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a decent read. It had a really good storyline and interesting characters. However I couldn’t get into this one easily. I think I was having an off reading day, but no matter how much I tried to concentrate and read I just couldn’t make sense of some of the story. The timeline seemed wonky and just random part of the times and then at others the conversations seemed a little forced. I’ve read two previous installments of this series in the past and while they had some of the same issues I didn’t notice it as bad as I did this time around. Again I think it was just an off reading day because when I could get into the story the plot was interesting, the characters were interesting, and it was really good I just had a lot of trouble getting into this one. Maybe next time will be better for me!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“ConQuest: The Art of Selling at Cons,” by Megan Mackie is a very useful book which gives a lot of detailed information on how to successfully market and promote self-published works. I picked this book as I do intend to self publish my books and I was looking for guidance. I know of many first time authors who struggle to promote their books and end up paying tons of money to the retailers to place them in the stores. The checklist is very useful for the promotional events. Though she does center the book around a particular genre, I think the strategies could be applied across genres to market your book. Very useful book. Definitely recommended.

What an ending to the series! Just as Maggie and Will get their happy ending, a tragedy unfolds in their lives that causes conflict like they’ve never experienced. The entire series was a roller coaster of emotions that kept you guessing what might happen next but nothing like the last book. It definitely made it hard for me to put the book down at times, my partner definitely was put on the back burner as I raced to finish the series. I am so happy that I was able to discover such a fantastic author, I look forward to reading more by her in the years to come!

Even better than the first! Will and Maggie pick up right where the previous book left off, the adventure that started nowhere close to being over. Maggie herself grew a lot as a character in the book, which was great to see because in the period that the book takes place in, many women were seen but not heard. It was a quick read for me and every time I thought that I was going to get a break there was more added to the story that kept me drawn in. A definite rollercoaster of emotions for me but I’m really excited to read the next book in the series!

This is the third and last book in the Rebecca Steele series by Joanne Patterson. I highly recommend reading the books in order. This is a sweet romance that has some drama, challenges, and emotions throughout this book. Like before this book drew me in from the first page until the last word. I love Becky’s story because she has been loving life. She has had some minor bumps in the road but nothing that strength, faith, and a bit of attitude cannot fix. This book has taken me for an emotional ride that I was willing to take to see what happens to Becky. I highly recommend this book but do not forget to read the first two books first.
