ShortcutsShortcuts by Amy Bearce
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shortcuts (Singularities) by Amy Bearce ​was is a fun and engaging YA fantasy story. The characters are interesting, and believable and have powers and the story is fast paced. The journey is one of friendships and family, and the usual that teenagers go through along with powers and consequences that could destroy it all and still trying to work out who they are and how they fit in the world. This YA fantasy is well written and captivates the audience no matter their age.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Werewolf Queen (Wheel of Crowns Book 1) by Brandi Elledge is a great supernatural paranormal fantasy story that kept me so engrossed and immersed in her carefully woven world. The story is so magical it had me on the edge of my seat through to the end. Brandi has very cleverly written something that completely throws you off track just when you think you have got it worked out. The suspense will keep you on alert and intrigued without letting go. This is a brilliant start to the series that is action packed with werewolves and witches, warlocks and vampires, psychics and demons and so much more. The story is thrilling and fast paced and also has romance and humour, I loved Granny, the best friend and the fairy who each had me howling in laughter.

Sadie comes from a long line of witches, but she has no powers. Whilst getting ready for her 18th birthday, everything changes and her life is turned upside down. It seems everyone either wants her or wants her dead.

This is one brilliant and masterful tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat and your heart rate pulsing. This has to be one of the best if not the best stories I have read this year and Brandi is now one of my favourite authors.

Love & Ghosts (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 1)Love & Ghosts by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love and Ghosts (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen is an exciting supernatural romance and is a story that is a breath of fresh air from normal romances.. The premise of the story is original and Carrie’s writing was spot on and swept me into a world I could relate to. ​I loved this book! The mystery and suspense, ghosts and possessions, romance and the humor was perfectly balanced. There were brief times I wanted to shake Emily but overall the characters were loveable and the slow burn between the main characters was sweet and sexy. The story is set in New Orleans and Carrie made the world she created come alive with her descriptions being so vivid you could see it all.

It is one story that will have you wondering what is hiding in the shadows and just what is around when that cold chill that gives you goosebumps happens upon you.

Emerald has very cleverly written something that completely throws you off track just when you think you have got it worked out. The suspense will keep you on alert and intrigued without letting go.

This is on thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat and your heart rate pulsing and the only downside is that it ends with a cliffhanger. No fair Emerald. I am trying to be patient and wait for the next story but it’s hard.

Willow is the star of the show as she works her magic into the hearts of those who have suffered. At times I was a little frustrated with the MC’s because they became closed off at times that I thought was unwarranted. Overall it is a sweet romance that will warm your heart.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heart of Stone ~ Book 1: Emery & Jackson (Heart of Stone Book 1 (Emery&Jackson)) is a contemporary romance story that is full of drama and passion, secrets and lies and lots of chemistry and humour that had me laughing out loud at times. The story is centered around Emery and Jackson but it also gives us a look at their friends and the women that drive them to madness. I am sure their stories will be very very interesting. The characters are definitely interesting and some are crazy and quirky, and I loved Granny and her straightforwardness with the first inappropriate thing that popped out of her mouth. As much as I enjoyed this story, the female characters frustrated me, I can understand why the men in their lives had had enough. At the same time the men came across as too full on in their alphaness (is that even a word?) and just expected the women to jump to their demands. I did like that the story was told in multiple POV’s as you have more insight into the characters and what makes them tick.
3.5 stars

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Operation Boyfriend by Molly Zenk is a young adult romance story that I have a love hate relationship with. The story is well written but I did not like the main character or her best friend. The MC is one who really wouldn’t think for herself and let others make her decisions for her in all aspects of her life. Her supposed best friend I would have given up if she was my friend. There is so much angst that many times I went to put the book down and give up but for some reason each time I pushed on. The premise of the story was good and there is some interesting twists and I loved the character, Corin, he found his way into my heart. There is a little humour in the story that made reading it a little more fun.

If you like a story that is full of young adult angst then I am sure you will enjoy this story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Drawing Bloodlines (The Princeton Allegiant Series Book 1) by Deborah Garland is a supernatural paranormal romance story that grabbed my attention and kept me intrigued from start to finish. It is not your average vampire story and it was good to read something a little different. I love me a good supernatural paranormal story and this one is unique and a little thrilling. There is plenty of passion and drama, lots of angst and political vampire factions that made for an exciting tale. I loved the chemistry and bond between the two main characters which made this a beautiful story. But let’s not forget the secondary characters are just as interesting and also made a pivotal difference. The ending was fabulous.

Alex has been alone for hundreds of years and never met someone who makes him feel the way the mysterious woman in his clinic has ever made him feel. She is like an addiction.

Elizabeth is lonely, she longs for that special someone to share her life with but she never thought it would be the mysterious doctor who turns out to be much more than she thought.

This wonderful tale is one that no one should miss and you will love it just as much as I did. I can not wait for the next installment.

Hawke (Men of Syn, #1)Hawke by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hawke (Men of Syn Book 1) by Anise Storm is a dark and intriguing erotic romance story that is set around a BDSM club, SYN. This sexy and thrilling read is well written and Anise’s descriptive writing makes it easy to image this dark and enticing world and what the characters have been through to make them what they are today. There is also a murderer on the loose and anyone could be his next victim.

The very mysterious Hawke is as arrogant and magnetic as he is broken. The life he was made to live make him the closed off and cold hearted man he is today. My heart literally broke for this beautiful monster of a man who had never known love, only ever abuse. Can he battle his demons before it is too late to save the one he loves?

Charlotte is a smart and independent business woman who is sassy and fierce and knows what she wants. When she learns the man who is going to be her employer for an event is the same man who literally left her hanging makes for a steamy, sizzling and heartbreaking time.

If you enjoy a little titillating, erotic read with a little darkness then this is for you. I cannot wait for more Men of Syn.

There is also lots of chemistry and passion that will have your heart melting. The characters are complex and completely loveable. The story is told in multiple POV’s which I love because you get to know exactly what and who the characters really are. It is one story that I did not want to put down and I had to know where it was going and what the outcome was, that is how invested in these characters I was. Even though this is the second book in the series they can be read as standalones. I love Debra’s descriptions of the old Italian neighbourhood and it’s occupants, especially the grumpy old men.

Vincent Manetti doesn’t do relationships, he a highly respected lawyer and spends some of his working week in his old neighbourhood. When a tiny thing of a woman literally falls into his arms, his life changes forever but can he keep her safe.

Deirdre had to get away from the constant hell she was trying to get over but leaving meant leaving her friends behind. Being in a relationship is the last thing she wants or need, but one man is determined to change all that and protect her do matter what the cost and she is helpless to say no.

I would have liked to see more a little more danger, but overall I enjoyed the story and Madison’s writing style. I would read book one first because the characters crossover as it is about the men of the Dark Water Security, and let me tell you they are some smoking hot men.

Garrett is an ex-marine and a newby with the Dark Water Security team who is still trying to sort his life out after the marines. So when he is offered a new assignment as live in personal security guard he has no qualms. However, when he arrives he sees someone who he has not been able to get out of his mind since the wonderful night they spent together and now she wants nothing to do with him.

Hope spent on beautiful night with a stranger but what happened after she left, changed her life forever. She cannot think about one without thinking about the other and one just about killed her. Now she has come face to face with the new security guard, who just happens to be the beautiful stranger but as the two are intertwined everything that happened that night comes rushing back, threatening to destroy her.

Broken Pieces by Judith B. Pinkard is her debut novel which is a biographical story that is heartbreaking and thought provoking. This is her journey as she sees it and what her family went through. Judith is honest in her telling and leaves nothing unsaid and it is brave of her to share it with us. It is almost clinical in the way it is written as if it is someone on the outside looking in but it packs a very emotional punch.

Judith was considered a miracle baby her parents were so happy and in love until a horrific tragedy left them all broken in one way or another. It is full of pain and suffering, turmoil and insecurities as they try to find their way back to a new ‘normal’.

Broken Pieces is a very apt name for this story.

They each feature in all the books in one way or another.

Connie left her cheating husband and moved back to be with her sister, the fabulous Casey. Connie is not a swinger and not part of that lifestyle but everything is sexy, hot and definitely makes her curious. When she meets Luke at the club things definitely take a turn for the better but not before his life falls to pieces.

Surviving Valencia by Holly Tierney-Bedord is much different to her other stories and I must admit I skimmed over a lot of it because it was a little confusing at times and I found it hard to keep my interest and it was a little slow. The story alternates between the past and the present and is told by a younger sister, who remains nameless, which is fitting because she always felt invisible to others. The story is a mystery suspense and there are lots of twists and turns that keep you on your toes.

When a tragedy strikes and the twins are no longer around the family fall apart. Little Sister is haunted by her past and the story unfolds. There were times when I wanted to shake her and tell her to grow up and grow a backbone but I guess it makes sense within the parameters of the story. The end is interesting and leaves a lot of questions. Now I have to wait to see if there is a follow up to find out the answers.

I am sad to see the series end as I really enjoyed the journey with these wonderful characters. This story is fast paced and will certainly keep you enthralled and captivated from start to finish. There are a lot of characters in this final story and each one had a story of their own woven in amongst the main story. This series has been an amazing read and Sheena has done it proud and justice.

Sera is holding back her powers because she is afraid but if she doesn’t use them then all will be lost. On the verge of destruction, she finally realises what she must do, the one thing that takes her away from every thing and everyone she loves.

I really enjoyed and recommend this entire series.
