Kara, Shieldmaiden of Eire (Forerunner Series)Kara, Shieldmaiden of Eire by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kara, Shieldmaiden of Eire is the fourth compelling book in this historical Forerunner series. This tale has everything to delight paranormal/fantasy lovers.

With a myriad of creatures Jay’s vivid narrative, you are drawn in to the actin and adventures across Midgard and the nine realms and more. The story has mythology, Vikings, hardships, violence, epic battles, danger, drama, mystery, and so much more. Jay cleverly weaves all the threads together to ensure the reader becomes one with the adventure and feel for these interesting characters. The world building is carefully crafted and a magical place where the unexpected is the norm.

Jay’s knowledge and passion for Norse mythology and Vikings adds another element that gives us an engaging and epic tale. I also like that Jay is interested what readers think of his work and is thankful for the reviews left.

I am hooked and I look forward to more.

Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale Book 1) by MK Harkins – Review by Jenni Bishop

Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale Series Book 1)Ashes by MK Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

Mmmmm where to start. I have mixed feelings about this book. MK has some wonderful stories out there especially The Immortal Series which I love.

Ashes is a fairy tale rock-star romance but with an interesting twist. This modern-day Cinderella is definitely intriguing and unique.

I like a retelling if it is done well. Unfortunately, whilst the premise of the story is a good one, I think that MK missed the mark in pulling it all together with the all the right elements, some actions and a few conversations and wording. That’s not to say I didn’t like the story because I did but with a few changes I think it could be a really good story.

Please give the book a read because these are just my thoughts and may not be your thoughts.

Euphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the MindEuphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the Mind by Ryan M. Becker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

This book is as eclectic and intriguing as its title and its author. Ryan entertains us with his sarcasm, wit and dry sense of humour in light of dealing with pain, mental health issues and life in general with comedic poetry. The poems come at us in all colours, shapes and sizes and rhythms.

You never know what you are going to get. There is something for all the senses except taste and I am sure if Ryan could have done it, he would have.

It is clear he has had a difficult journey and made it out the other side, a little battered and bruised along with some scars but nevertheless he survived.

Having dealt with mental illness I could relate to some of things in this book.

The Colors of Love (Colors Trilogy, #2)The Colors of Love by K.R. Raye
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

Trigger warning – there is domestic violence/an abusive relationship.

I strongly suggest you read these books in order as the end of the first book is the start of this book. The Colors of Love is the second book in this contemporary romance trilogy.

Melody, Imani and Lance are back after surviving the horrors and still trying to cope with what happened in the first book. Their friendship is still strong but they find themselves with more horrors and hardships that test them. This book is Lance’s story but it seemed that Imani had a more starring role. This another journey through good times and bad times and times that will test themselves and their friendship.

There is a lot going on in this book and lots of characters showing up. There are so many emotions in this story. There is also a bit of everything going on with lies and deceit, angst and sadness, suicide and angst, drama and grief, heartache, love, jealousy and turmoil. There is racism, violence and suicide and interracial relationships and more. It is an engaging story that tackles a lot of issues and keep the pages turning.

I wonder what the third book will bring.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love’s Mulligan is the first book in CA’s new series Stroke of Love. I have read a few other books by this author and have enjoyed each journey. It is a sweet interracial contemporary romance tale.

The story takes place in the bright city lights of Vegas for high profile celebrities’ nuptials. Sparks fly when two people from a small town come back into each other’s lives at the most inopportune time. This second chance romance has lots of emotions, some angst, hurt and pain but love shines through. Now they only have to make it happen can past hurt be left behind to start anew. The characters are realistic, easy to connect with.

With her reputation at stake, she needs to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. The only problem is she has to do it all for the one who left her behind.

He left town without looking back to pursue his dreams. Now his past is staring him in the face and he needs her to take another chance on him.

Jester is a fun dark and twisted tale. Imagine falling down a hole in a city that is more sinful than sin city, outrageously ostentatious, blindingly entertaining and certainly deadly and definitely twisted.

Bake Happy is the final book in this YA romantic fantasy trilogy. Make sure you go back and start with the first book Bake Believe.

I love stories that are a little different and this trilogy is definitely original and imaginative. It is fun and entertaining and has humour that will have you laughing. This quirky tale will have your taste buds salivating with the magical recipes included. It is interesting and unique and gives us the usual raging teen angst and grumpiness. The story is humorous and engaging as we adventure along with Cat and her magic. It’s hard to say goodbye.

Cori has hit the spot that YAs are going to enjoy reading about Cat and her family.

Ashes of Sin and StardustAshes of Sin and Stardust by Lindsay Murray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There are trigger warnings.

Mmmmm. how to rate this book?

Ok first off, Ashes of Sin and Stardust is a dark and delicious BDSM erotic romance. I really enjoyed the story but it was a long haul. I think it could be cut into two books or cut down a bit being too wordy. There are also some parts the author added that I am not sure that fit exactly right for this story, like religion.

Lindsay however did a great job with the BDSM aspect that it will have your heart pumping it is so good. I really liked the characters who Lindsay gave us great back stories but I could have done with a little less of the brattish behaviour. Each has past that was not always good.

Having said all that Ashes of Sin and Stardust is well worth the read.

Imagine if you went through a brutal attack so traumatic you can’t remember the last 6 months.

Imagine if you woke with no memory of the best thing in your life.

Imagine going through a traumatic attack and remembering everything.

Imagine not being able to be with the one you love because he doesn’t remember you.

This is the first book in this new series for Hazel. Remember to Forget Me is a heartbreaking tale. It starts out slow but does pick up, so hang in there. Hazel writes characters that are hard not to fall in love with and Wes and Addison are no exception.

I am not going to reveal anything more about the story as it is one that you should go into with an open mind.

Scandalously Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #5)Scandalously Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Scandalously Yours is another delicious tale by the talented Anise. Anise is always a must read because she does her craft so well. This is the fifth book in this amazing series and probably my favourite so far. I think I said that about all of them but it still holds true. Do yourself a favour and start from the first book. You will be drawn into the dark side where there is plenty of sizzle, heat, greed, pain, suffering and so much more. The story is beautifully written, exceptionally captivating and painfully heart breaking. This one will bring out all the feels and at times you will be on the edge of your seat and checking who is in the shadows. You will want to hug the characters and others you want to plan to take out.

He had it all until he realised the depth of deception and finally the depravity of the one, he once loved. He finds himself drawn to a beautiful woman but he can’t let her into his life when evil is finally showing her true colours and may just be a fight for his life.

I can’t wait to see what Anise brings to the table next.

Something About Aimee is an action-packed romantic suspense tale and a long way from the sci fi stories I have read by this author. Your emotions will be all over the place with the many twists and turns. SE has a wonderful way with words, the descriptive nature brings the reader in and doesn’t let them go They say opposites attract, right? The story is a slow burn romance but I would have liked to see a bit more heat/sizzle/passion/sparks for this couple.

Fairly Royal is an opposites attract contemporary romance This was the first time I have read anything by this author and I was pleasantly surprised.

I loved the humour that Grace infused throughout the story making it feel that more realistic. There is sweet and sexy, steam and drama, a fake relationship that may or may not develop into more and characters that you will enjoy. The story is very well-written and well-developed.

Murder Most Pemberley is an interesting story. It is the first book in the series and held a lot of promise. Unfortunately some of the characters frustrated me making it difficult to connect with them which in turn, made it hard to connect with the storyline. The premise is predictable but it did have some fun qualities. For me the story didn’t flow easily it felt a little stilted at times. Sometimes less is more as there are a lot of English colloquialisms/slang/ phrases and it felt like too much. This story reads as though aimed at a younger reader as in it is a YA cozy mystery than for an older audience.

Eliza Darcy is visiting England and her relatives. She and her friends and crazy Great Aunt decide to do some super sleuthing. Whilst there they soon find themselves embroiled in murder and mayhem.
