This is a well-written page-turner! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it’s cast of characters. The author did an incredible job building on the story and each of the characters throughout the story, helping the reader unravel the mystery. I really enjoyed the main character, Grace, from whose point of view this was written. The depth to which we come to understand her, while she is trying to defend her teenaged client Zoe, puts the reader in her shoes, so to speak, and yearn for justice with her. The details provided place the reader in the midst of it all and keeps you turning the page all the way to the end. I can’t wait for another in this series!

This was my first time reading Kendra Griffin, but was well-rewarded with this witty, humorous, sometimes terrifying book full of twists and turns. I was unaware that this was a part of a bigger series, but Apocalypse Thoughts reads almost like a stand-alone. The plot definitely hit a little differently as I was reading it while quarantined with COVID. Kella, the female protagonist, writes and sketches her thoughts while on their journey north from Atlanta. Her thoughts are funny and realistic and reflect her inner-most thoughts. Apocalypse Thoughts is intended for a young adult audience and I enjoyed the fact there was no swearing and no overly sexual content.

As with a ton of the other readers, I found reading this novel with what we are dealing with in the real world added an amazing way of thinking allowing me to really dive deep into Kella, Jumper, and Huck’s adventure.
I adored the way we are experiencing this through Kella, getting to relate to all her sassy thoughts and internal struggles as a seventeen year old going through the ETM. No longer worried about regular teenage thoughts and trying to navigate the world as it’s fine through major changes.
Overall, I enjoyed this refreshing take on apocalyptic times, certainly unlike anything I’ve read before. I will be going back to read the prologue and look forward to more of Kella to come. Thoroughly enjoyed this authors ability to grab me and pull me in through her writing style and incredible character and world building. Highly recommend!

This story drew me right from the beginning. I couldn’t put this book down because I needed to know what was going to happen. Kirsa and Brock have been best friends since they were four and a few years later Victoria becomes their friend as well. Then something happens that ruins the friendship. Being a teenager is hard and then insert lies, misunderstandings, hormones, and gossip makes it even harder. I felt so bad for Kirsa, no teenager should be treated that way. I found myself so angry because Brock and Victoria couldn’t just leave Kirsa alone. I was so happy when Rylan showed up during senior year. Rylan didn’t give in to peer pressure and I liked him even more for that. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. This is a must read.

This book was funny, heart wrenching, hopeful, and so much more. I loved listening on Kella’s thoughts. This was exactly how people thought a worldwide plaque would be like and I’m so thankful we are not at this point. This book was so wonderfully written and thought provoking. I was honestly hesitant to read it based on the description but am so incredibly happy I did. I found my heart racing many times throughout the book and reading with crossed fingers. I hope there is more to come within this series as I have to know what is going to happen next!

Swipe Right to Bite is the most recent book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series, but can be enjoyed freestanding. This series has overlapping characters, but they are all written in a way that you can read independently. I love this book, it is funny and kept me hooked. This is the most… adult themed… out of the series, since the main characters are Succubus and Incubus, which are sexual by nature. So reader beware, mature audiences. That aside, this book is hilarious. The author has a great sense of humor and the characters are wonderful. Katrina is independent and fun. I was happy to see Gabe was a nice guy, apparently nice guy demons are a thing… Their relationship has a funny start, and they quickly go from enemies to friends to lovers. They are very witty and this book puts a paranormal twist on a common love story. Highly recommend and cant wait to read more in this series… I’m invested!

I love the playful and hilarious way this story is written. If you are in need of some serious laugh out loud moments this book is for you. Katrina and Gabe’s story is full of chemistry and sweetness. With well rounded and relatable characters in such a hilarious read, I rated five stars. I enjoyed the secondary characters as well. I started with this book but I will be going back and reading the other books in the series.

I don’t know what it is about this author but every time I have read one of her books I have a horrible time putting it down. I think I managed to read this one in less than a day which for me is fast.
There were several moments that made me mad and uncomfortable. I couldn’t get over how cruel everyone was. I remember being a bit of a jerk and could have been considered a bully towards a few people but never in life would I have taken it that far.
Of all of the characters Rylan was by far my favorite and would definitely consider him a hero.
This book will suck you in and you will find yourself reading it instead of anything you may need to do. So if you plan to read it clear your calendar.

Kella O’Malley is seventeen and along with a couple of others, is trailing across the Appalachian Trail, not because it is spring break and she fancies a hike from Georgia towards the north, it is because she is being chased by cannibals. While she was visiting family, she inadvertently ends up surviving an apocalypse, one which has created a mutation which turns humans into shrieking “Hyena’s” and Kella is carrying the only copy of some data from the CDC which could help them all to survive.
As they try to outrun the Hyena’s and trying to fend off blisters, hunger and exhaustion, as well as caffeine withdrawal and a lack of condiments, they face other challenges but Kella is trying to keep everyone’s spirits up by looking after them the only way she knows how and all the while, she is finding her own way to cope by reading the trail logbooks she finds along the way, but as well as reading them, she also writes her thoughts in them, her apocalypse thoughts.
There is more danger than nature while they hike, however, they also come across others and join up with them and make a larger group made up of teens and twenty somethings who are going in the same direction, even if not with the same goals, however, the idea of safety in numbers is not always true. As the trail continues and danger lurks around every corner, Kella decides to set some goals, to keep her family alive, survive long enough to complete their mission and maybe fall in love, but what if that is just as terrifying as murder hornets, the apocalypse, or even Hyena’s? Maybe not Hyena’s but it could still be scary, but so is the YA novel, it keeps you on your toes throughout as you try and work out what will happen next, it is unpredictable, funny and horrifying all at the same time, but it will hook you in and you will not want to put it down.

This was an exciting and action packed page turner YA novel, which had me hooked from start to finish. Set during an apocalypse, the author does a wonderful job of world building, and makes living during an apocalypse come to life. The vivid setting made me feel immersed in the story and I felt engaged with the unique characters, especially with the main heroine of the story, Kella O’Malley. She is seventeen and is a likeable and relatable young lady who brings the story together. Along with her brother, Kella has joined a group of young people to take precious CDC data north along the Appalachian Trail.
A pandemic has made humans mutate into feral cannibals, and no one knows what caused this or how fast the mutation spreads. Therefore the survivors must hike as fast as they can and stay ahead of the “Hyenas”. All this and it was supposed to be Kella’s spring break. Kella, who suffers from severe caffeine withdrawal, from a shortage of coffee, writes in her shelter logbook, and her entries although dark are lighthearted and witty. The storyline is intriguing and original and the plot kept me happily turning the pages. An enjoyable YA novel which I recommend to adults as well.

Apocalypse Thoughts: A Story for the Possible End of Times (The Pox Series) By Kendra Griffin Review By Susan Ratchford 5 stars
An edge of your seat adventure with a whole lot of heart! Explore the ETM, the End Times, Maybe! This YA dystopian novel follows seventeen year old Kella O,Malley, her brother Huck,and their friends as they traverse the Appalachian trail, armed with CDC data that could be the world’s only hope against the “hyenas”. Mutated humans,caused by a pandemic that’s been quickly spreading, turning them into vicious cannibals. OMG! This book had me up all night drinking plenty of coffee! (sorry Kella). I absolutely loved it! Kella is such a beautifully written character, I was rooting for her from page one. The sibling relationship between her and Huck is so genuine it made me think of my siblings and I. This is truly a YA book that everyone will love for its humor, sarcasm, wit, and relatable characters that you can’t help but fall in love with!

I absolutely loved this book! I love the way each chapter was written for faith, sandy and Rebecca. It was an emotional read and important read for many. To see the differences in others lives through pregnancy in the 1960s. It took you on a rollercoaster of emotions from scandal to rape etc. I would say trigger warning for anyone who has went through any of those things. I enjoyed the friendship between Faith, Sandy and Rebecca. I hope for a sequel to see what happened next for each girl. I did have a hard time putting it down needing to know what happens next. A must read for your 2022 books!

This is the 3rd book in the series and I really enjoyed it. The book is fast paced and I would advise reading the other books before this as this one does hit the ground running and it maybe confusing if you don’t know the story from the other 2 books.
In this book Rebecca is back. Her career is going from strength to strength, she is married to her love and together they are raising her step daughter. Things couldn’t be more perfect. However things aren’t as they seem and with people from both Rebecca’s and Chance’s pasts turning up to make life difficult can their relationship survive? Add to this the pressure that arrives in the form of their step- daughter Cassie following in Rebecca’s footsteps and having a talented for singing. We have seen Cassie grow up through these books and I’m so happy to see her become the confident little girl she should be. If you love romance stories with cowboys, horses, country singing and a fast paced story then this is definately a series for you.

This is such a heartbreaking story. This story follows the lives of three different young ladies that each find themselves pregnant and unmarried. This book really tackles the sexism and the racism that unfortunately were so prevalent back then. They were forced to give their babies up and in the midst of their fear and forced silence they bond and become friends. Years later they’re brought back together and searching for answers. There are some unexpected twists in this story and I’m so happy that they all get closure in the end. This is a must read that will really open your eyes to the emotional turmoil that so many young women suffered through.

This was a really good book! I was immersed in this novel from the beginning and it didn’t let me go. This was enthralling from the get go and as a result I had trouble putting it down. It made for a very quick read. The book was descriptive and very well written. I loved the characters and I felt like I was right there with them through the whole thing. I can’t wait to read more of this series and more from this author. I can’t wait to see what happens next and with more characters!

With this last installment of The Shadow Chronicles, I was sad to see it end. I was so invested in this little family of three. This story picks right where book 2 stopped and it continues in a fast paced setting. You learn so much that is still going on and has much to finish and wrap up. Tasha’s and Levi’s love for each other never stops growing. It gets so much better when Tasha decides that she’s not just going to let Levi walk all over her. She pushes him to be the best that he can be and lets him know that no matter what she is his equal in every shape and form. It was a nice little tidbit seeing some of the Greek mythos introduced in the beginning. It gave a good little back story to what lead up these events. This last book does not disappoint it’s readers and does leave you wanting more, but sad knowing that there is no more. I cant wait to read other books b this author because I greatly enjoy their storytelling and their beautiful writing. It sucks you in and it’s like watching a movie right before your eyes.

There is soo much to say about this book! Its a truly gripping tale that takes you on the best emotional roller coaster ride you didn’t expect to go on. I felt such a bond with many of the characters in this book, and felt may self-reflective moments about how this could be me or someone I love living this story. I can say I was rooting for everyone in this story to make it.
The main character and narrator is a brave, loyal, independent, coming of age girl named Kella. She tells her story with honesty, optimism, clarity, anxiousness, fear, and of course bits of anger. The Apocalypse is now and Kella just wants to survive and take care of her brother Huck. With Huck and her cousin Jumper they begin a trek to along the Appalachian Trails armed with vital information that could change everything. As they fight to survive they come across many people who want what they have and are out to get them, or who have been infected with this virus and are trying to infect them. This journey brings in many characters that become new friends/allies in this deteriorating world, and then others who are that wolf in sheep’s clothing. What will become of Kella? Will her and her companions make it through to the end, or is all lost?

1965. Sandy flees her home in order to avoid her mother’s violent lover. Becca makes a mistake and falls in love with the wrong man. Faith is also subjected to a brutal onslaught. These three young, unwed women meet at a maternity home hospital in New Orleans with no assistance and no alternative options, where they are expected to abandon their kids and return home as if nothing happened. However, such a life-changing incident can never be forgotten, and no secret is ever truly buried. A blackmailer threatens to disclose their secrets and destroy their lives twenty-five years later when the women are reconnected by a blackmailer.
Their fundamental underpinnings would be shaken by that shocking news, which would echo all the way to the White House. This compelling drama told from the viewpoints of three women, is based on true stories of women in the 1960s who discovered themselves pregnant yet unmarried, and were driven by family and society to make dreadful decisions. The narrative of how that unthinkable crime affected women’s lives forever is told in No Names to Be Given, a painful yet hopeful novel about family and redemption.
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 the rest of her books.

BFF->E->L HS Bully; such a good read if you like that stuff!
5 Stars. Would give it more if I could!
I admit it, I’m in love with he Bully Romance genre/trope, and I don’t care who knows it. This one though is up there as one of the best I’ve read in terms of keeping me engaged and wanting to know what happens next. I could NOT put this one down (legit stayed up all night reading it…whoops.).
While this novel doesn’t have much else to it other than the bullying and the relationship between Brock and Kirsa, it was believable and an enjoyable read. I will say I figured out the endgame pretty quick, but I desperately wanted to know how they got there. Sometimes it’s not about figuring out the ending, but rather the journey to get there. You will want to pul your hair out in frustration at times though due to Brock’s thickheadedness, but it’s oh so worth it.
I think one of the reasons I enjoy the bully trope so much is because of the strength of the character being bullied, to deal with everything being thrown their way, but still forging forward and seeing the good in people and a future without the bullying, and Kirsa does not disappoint in that aspect. Even when we see her pushed down and ready to give up there’s a strength and resilience about it that says she will not stay down.
Brock does semi grow up throughout the novel, realizing he’s not as certain as he thought about the circumstances, but of course it had to take him being jealous to come to that conclusion (oh the romance genre falling back on good ole tropes). I can appreciate the reason behind him being so stubborn though and what that means for/about him as a person (well, character).
Also, I loved Rylan as a side character and would love to get a novel, or at least a novella, about him and his journey to finding love.
This novel is more of a New Adult novel as it does include graphic language and explicit sexual situations, and does start with the characters fairly young, but I was reading way worse than this at 13/14 in terms of sex content. I don’t know that I would have been okay with the bully aspect included here at that age though. This is also a novel about high school characters, so if age is an issue I recommend something else, where the characters are in college or older.

I was so excited to take another journey into the New Orleans Nocturn Series and this book was just what the doctor ordered. I have read this series from the beginning and all I can say is it just keeps getting better. I like how it is paranormal and funny with just the right mix of romance to boot. The characters are endearing and the storlines unique. I didn’t want to put this book down. I also enjoy how diverse the character base is and that all Supes are included shifter alike. I cannot wait for the next book in this series. Definitely one of my top 10 favorite authors.

Sandy has run away from home to escape her mother’s abusive boyfriend. Faith is dealing with the aftermath of a terrifying attack. Becca has fallen in liven with the wrong kind of guy. Three situations that have been heard time and time again, but in the 1960s the world was a different place. These three young girls with three different circumstances all find themselves pregnant and unwed in a maternity hospital in New Orleans.
However, nothing ever stays completely secret does it? 25 years after giving birth, these three girls, now women, are coming back together because someone knows. Someone wants to tell and if they do, it could ruin the lives they’ve put together and have an effect on so much more than anyone could ever expect.
No Names to be Given is beautiful and enticing. I knew within the first three chapters this book would leave me with so many feelings and it didn’t disappoint. It covers the tough, yet touching, topic of adoption and shows how much pain can be in any decision.
I’m so happy to have a copy of this book for my shelves and plan to pass on copies to others. This is probably the best debut novel I’ve ever gotten my hands on and is 100% the best story I’ve read in a long time. I’m itching for more from this author. Thank you for such a beautiful story!

New Orleans Nocturnes is a great series and this book is no expection to it. Katrina is a succubus looking for her own freedom so. She’s been behind a massive dating app for supernatural to join the dating market. Gabe chacter is cheeky and quirky and naughty. I throughly enjoyed the tongue in cheek witty banter and humour.

This book starts off running with strong female characters, and I am here for it. Starting in 1965, this book centers around three women who are faced with tough decisions through impending motherhood and is based on real events. Sandy, Becca, and Faith embark upon a journey that will keep you at the edge of your seat as you root for their endearing and intriguing characters. These three women are pressured by not only the societal standards, but familial and internal standards, as well, and struggle to do what is right for them. I really appreciated this book. The story is quite easy to fall into and stay hooked until the very end – the characters are the best part about it. It left me wanting to learn more and experience more from each of these characters once I was finished. I give this book 5 stars and would love each character to get her own book!

No Names To Be Given is such a unique and touching story of three young women from the 60’s who become friends in a maternity hospital…the last place any of them thought they’d end up. Becca, Faith, and Sandy all come from different backgrounds and walks of life but find that their friendship helps them each through the toughest time of their lives. The author does such a fantastic job creating a solid background and story line for each woman individually while intricately weaving them together to form a story that sticks with you for long after you’ve finished reading. Filled with mystery, heartache, and scandal, this book is one to move to the top of your “to be read” pile as soon as you purchase it!

This story has many avenues to experience. It is also a Western Romance with Suspense to keep you reading. Becky is back! She has become quite the Country singer. But once again she continues to show her strength and as well as her faith, to bring her positive outlook in life. Becky highlights Little Cassie in this book. She too is a strong little lady and you can’t help falling in love with her as well. This book is a page turner forsure. You get the need to continue reading it from start to finish. I was drawn in on book one as well as book two, book three did not disappoint. I love this author’s style of writing! She never drags on and always thinks of every detail. Her story has many roller coasters you will board. It is not required, but I recommend you read this series in order. Get to know the characters and their part in this the final book of this series. I look forward to seeing what this author writes next. NO SPOILERS FOR YOU HERE!
