The Hallowed (The Scrying Trilogy Book Two) by Jaci Miller – Review by Jenni Bishop

The Hallowed (The Scrying Trilogy Book Two)The Hallowed by Jaci Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Hallowed is the second book in The Scrying Trilogy by Jaci Miller and continues on  from book one therefore reading The Scrying first is a must and a pleasure. This is a  not only a paranormal tale but it is also full of the supernatural. Magic and prophecies,  fates and destinies, mysteries and evils, tomes and realms, action and drama. All that  and more in this wonderful riveting and captivating story and well developed  characters as they learn their part in what is to come. Jaci has woven amazing worlds  full of intrigue, where the suspense and drama is like a crescendo building and building  waiting for all to be revealed.     This vibrant story easily transports you into the story right along with the characters  as they journey into the unknown. I am now waiting with bated breath for the next  book.

Miss Apple PantsMiss Apple Pants by Charlotte Roth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Miss Apple Pants: Lost in Seattle by: Charlotte Roth is a young adult coming of age story that is full of heartwarming and heartbreaking moments. Charlotte is a storyteller that draws you into her world and her writing style flow easily. There are a lot of emotions in this book from happiness and sadness, joy and sorrow that enable you to connect with these well thought out characters and enjoy their story. The style of the writing for this book is completely different from Charlotte but it works and adds to the uniqueness of the storyline.

A well written story that will appeal to young adults.

Every Breath You Take (Bayou Devils MC 3) by A.M. Myers – Review by Jenni Bishop

Every Breath You Take (Bayou Devils MC 3)Every Breath You Take by A.M. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every Breath You Take by A.M. Myers is the third book in the Bayou Devils MC series and doesn’t disappoint. The characters are well developed and and the story is easy to follow with twists and turns that you don’t see coming. This is a fun read for the most part with friends, family and smoking hot alpha men. But spoiler alert there is some scenes that may affect some readers. Our female protagonist is an independent and strong and sassy warrior that keeps us all on our toes with her antics and quirkiness and had me laughing out loud.

Which member of the club will be our next hero? I am very much looking forward to the next book.

Golden Poppy (Wildflowers Book 5) by Vivian Winslow – Review by Jenni Bishop

Golden Poppy (Wildflowers Book 5)Golden Poppy by Vivian Winslow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Golden Poppy is the fifth and last book in the Wildflowers series by Vivian Winslow. This book is the one to peel back all the layers and tells the story of what made Poppy, well Poppy. Where as Wild Poppy was taking us back to her younger days this one gives us a look at her later years and her looking back at and realising that acceptance plays a huge part. But can she repair her relationship with and make amends with her daughters before time runs out? As usual Vivian has written her characters beautifully. They are whole, relatable and complex. This would have to be my favourite in the series and it is so full of emotions and is heartbreaking.

The series ended on a sad note but it is a fantastic story.

Uncovering Camila (Wildflowers, #3)Uncovering Camila by Vivian Winslow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Uncovering Camila is book three in the Wildflower series by Vivian Winslow is a story that is a New Adult romance that is about one strong, driven and determined woman, Camila. She knows what she wants and nothing will stop her making it happen. As always Vivian’s descriptions are rich and bold and the story is well written. I must admit that I was not sure about the Camila/Marshall relationship and the to and froing frustrated me. I wanted to shake them and tell them to smarten up but the chemistry and the sex was hot, hot, hot.

Wild Poppy (Wildflowers, #4)Wild Poppy by Vivian Winslow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wild Poppy is book four in the Wildflower series by Vivian Winslow and is a story not to be missed. This is one story that the whole series practically started with. In earlier books she is the matriarch of her world but in this story we follow her and the sad life she started with. Poppy is alone and heartbroken and left with no choice other than one and it is that one she will regret her whole life. Vivian has done a wonderful job on Poppy’s story and it is very moving. It was empowering to see her come from someone so broken to coming alive once again.

As with the other books in the series Vivian has done a great job and Wild Poppy should not be missed.

Forbidden Rose by Vivian Winslow is the second book in the Wildflower series and is well written and the storyline is one you readily immerse yourself in. It is a romance story where there is passion abound and of the charts chemistry between characters. I enjoy a story where there is drama and angst on the road to romance it spices things up. Vivian takes on a journey where there are secrets and love, beauty and sweet sweet raunchiness that will leave you breathless.

Vivian has written story that will have you begging for more. I am off to start the next in the series.

Blossoming Flower (Wildflowers, #1)Blossoming Flower by Vivian Winslow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blossoming Flower is the first book in the Wildflower series by Vivian Winslow and an enjoyable romance story and a good start to the series. But nothing is ever easy in the path to romance and the burning desire and wanting between our characters was a slow slow burn. The sexual tension is almost palpable but they both had things in their paths that they needed to face and deal with before coming together. The story is well written and Vivian sets the scene with her rich and vivid attention to detail and there were times I wanted to smack some sense into some of the characters.

I am off to read the next in the series and hope it is just as good as the first.

The Harrowed Half-Breed: A Tarnished Lands Story (Forgotten Woods, #1)The Harrowed Half-Breed: A Tarnished Lands Story by P.A. Wikoff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Harrowed Half-Breed by P.A. Wikoff is a unique dark fantasy story set in a dismal world. There are strange creatures who are at war with humans and are quite a violent race even amongst themselves. It was quite gruesome at times but P.A. has done a great job of building and weaving the written word to fully explore all sides of the characters and the world in which they live. But it was not all doom and gloom, there are moments in time where there was things that will make you laugh.

As a fantasy lover I would recommend this book to anyone who likes things a little bit darker

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Without Regret (Without Series Book 2) by Aubrey Bondurant is another fantastic read. Aubrey knows how to write a great contemporary romance. ​The storyline is captivating, steamy and interesting and the connection between the characters makes them come to life. They are fun, lovable and real and you get invested with them and their world. Beware there will be tears and your emotions will be all over the place as you learn about Emma and her life. But there is just as many laughs to be had and moments when you want to smack some characters in the head or worse. Don’t mess with my girl Emma!!

I highly recommend reading the Without series and I really really hope there is more to come.

Arctic Fire Fortis Security Book 6 (Fortis Security #6) by Maddie Wade and another great book to this series I have come to love and regard as family. ​There is non stop action in this thriller that starts right from word go and does not stop. Roz and K have had dark pasts that we have only had glimpses of throughout the series. I knew that their story would be that much darker than the rest but Maddie has does a great job in telling them. These dangerous and brooding Alpha men and deadly women bring their skills to finally chase down a down an evil the world can live without. But in doing so means that some will need to confront and face terrors of the past and that may not be as easy as it seems.

Maddie Wade’s Fortis Security series gets better and better with every book and I always feel saddened when they come to an end because they are so enjoyable. I am eagerly awaiting the next book.
