This was a completely different read something I wouldn’t usually pick up but I’m glad I did I really enjoyed every second of this book. I was able to sit back with a nice cuppa and indulge in this novel I was just glued to it, it’s not a very long read but it still had a captivating storyline one that will keep your interest throughout. This novel is just such an unique read it certainly isn’t something I’ve read before and it isn’t for everyone but from my opinion I would still give it go you never know you may love something different!!!

Kathryn Berla Beau& Bett

This book is one of the best I’ve read in a long time. You get sucked into the characters lives and immediately fall in love. The Beauty and the Beast premise is normally tired and overdone, but this was written to perfection. The story clipped along at a good pace with enough hurry up and wait that you could REALLY feel Beaus plight. So many little side stories incorporated without a flaw. I am so hoping there’s a sequel coming! I can’t wait to read more about these characters and see their development. Well done. 5 stars.

The shifters are kept as pets, unfortunately, Lorelei works for a company that drugs them. What will happen when the next target is her lost love? Will they find their way back to each other? I enjoyed these characters. They bring the story to life and kept me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what will happen next. I highly recommend this book.

The Girls across the Bay (The Knox and Sheppard Mysteries, Book 1) by Emerald O’Brien

5-Stars

The Girls across the Bay by Emerald O’Brien was an excellent mystery novel. I loved the two sisters Grace and Madigan. They were both very strong and determined females. The author did a magnificent job with their development and I loved the background she provided on them. I hate that they were separated for a time while in foster care while they were young but I felt it really helped play into their strength. I also really enjoyed the flow of this novel and descriptive scenery. I found it easy to place myself in the characters shoes to visualize what was happening. This novel is definitely worth the 5-stars and I highly recommend. I look forward to reading more from this author as well as from this series.

BEAU AND BETT is a quick, multi-layered read that is labelled as a “retelling” of Beauty and Beast. While it does have some resemblance to the original fairytale, it absolutely stands in it’s own and I think it can be read by any ages reader.

I recommend this story.

By: Cynthia Hamilton
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Trouble With Paradise (A Madeline Dawkins Mystery Book 4) by Cynthia Hamilton was a hooking addicting read that had me flipping the pages.

In this fourth book we are given a new mystery, new twist, turns, and thrilling details. I was impressed with this latest book, it topped the last book, and I’m glad I stuck with this series. I loved the double murder mystery, the new and old characters, the way the story flowed, builded, and just fully engulfed you. Our MC, for me, was much more put together in this book. I did have some misgivings about her in the last book, but this one, she was everything I wanted and more. Overall this book, this series is worth the read. It’s full of hidden mysteries, new and old, and I love how it all ties back to that first book, making it realistic and fully engaging.

So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you need this book in your life.

Happy Reading

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it it is also the first book of a new series.

The two female leads are well rounded with strengths and weaknesses and are sisters by choice, not by blood. The writing is descriptive and I was able to visualize the story.

This was an interesting suspense told in a voice I have not read before. It is 1st person and 3rd person within the same paragraph so we have total insight into what everyone is thinking.

The ending sets up the next story in the series nicely and I look forward to reading more.

The Girls Across The Bay (Knox and Sheppard, #1)The Girls Across The Bay by Emerald O’Brien
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Girls Across The Bay is the opening to Emerald O’Brien’s Knox and Sheppard series! I fell in love with her writing when I read the opening to another series of hers, the Avery Hart Trilogy! I was fascinated with her style of storytelling, the intricate connections, the subtle hints, the mixing of past and present so I thought I would be ready for The Girls Across The Bay but I wasn’t … she took it up by at least a notch and I cannot wait to see where she will be taking the series to!
Knox and Sheppard are two sisters by choice, Madigan and Grace, and they have seen and experienced way too much for their age … I loved how the writer gave us the story from each of their point of view, the inner dialogues, the building of the foundation to the universe that she placed them into … across the bay … these two work together to solve a mystery that has a dark connection to their past and I promise you that when you find out ‘who did it’, you will be as surprised as ever!
I cannot wait to see what comes next for Madigan, Grace, Mac and John …

Scarlet Fever (A Johnny Delarosa Thriller Book 1) by David Stever – Review by Lisa Helmick

Scarlet Fever: A Crime ThrillerScarlet Fever: A Crime Thriller by David Stever
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a fast paced old style mystery. It is full with top notch sleuthing. The characters are full of curiosity and smarts. There are a few main characters and many secondary characters. They made me smile and wonder what could possibly happen next. This story starts off with a bang and keeps moving until the very end. Not sure if I could be a PI…Watching DeLarosa go through the paces to try to figure out who is really behind these incidents. Some times seem very exciting but other times the sitting and waiting would be too much. I did love his insight into his trusting and no trusting of people.

This is a first time author for me. I enjoyed the trip he took me on. If you are interested in sleuthing and mob connections mixed with unknown people and a couple million dollars…pick this up.

Orion’s Kiss by Claire Luana was a fun quick mythological read. I would read this book 5 out of 5 stars. I really enjoyed reading Meriah’s point of view, the descriptions and flashbacks are really well written. Meriah has an idea on how to end the curse, it ends up backfiring in a way she did not expect. There may be a way to stop reliving the horrible curse, it just involves more people and a point of view she did not have before.

4 Stars!!!!

I like how the author has spun a classic tale and modernized it. The author really brings a refreshing twist to the tale and just grips the reader’s attention. The characters are also realistic. The story just flows off of the pages.

I found myself really routing for Beau as I could relate to him. I also found it refreshing that he in the
sense was Beauty and that the Beast was Bett. I found the author’s use of the female character for the beast to be unique and really made the story. I found myself on the edge of my seat to see how the story would end as they truly came from two different worlds and I like how they end up merging together. The author did a good job at making her characters realistic and enjoyable. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

Beau and Bett by Kathy Berla is a modern day version of Beauty and the Beast. Although the book follows and old story line the author does well to put her own stamp on it with the switch round of characters.
Beau and Bett were a good match. They paired really well together and worked for this type of story.
The whole story was well paced and provided great progression- both character wise and story wise. It was an easy read that was fun and entertaining.

I really enjoyed this collection and felt the storyline of each book was easy to follow and flowed easily from page one all the way to the end. Being an Anthology full of various romances, I feel that it could be enjoyed a wide audience.

The Girls across the Bay (The Knox and Sheppard Mysteries, Book 1) by Emerald O’Brien – Review by Angela Hayes

The Girls Across The Bay (Knox and Sheppard, #1)The Girls Across The Bay by Emerald O’Brien
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

The Girls Across the Bay is the first book in the Knox and Sheppard series by Emerald O’Brien. It is quite a clever and thrilling mystery- with plenty of intrigue, suspense, and dramatic moments. I was definitely caught up in the web of intrigue, wondering at all the possibilities, looking for clues, and being suspicious of everyone and everything- all while hunting for the killer. The story twists and turns, which left me guessing- and when I thought I finally had everything pinned down, BAM, another twist.
This proved to be quite a complex and multi-layered storyline, with several threads playing out at the same time and throughout Ms. O’Brien orchestrated everything quite seamlessly. A couple of minor issues for me were that there were moments where the story was a little slow, such as in the beginning as the foundations were being laid out. And there was a lot of inner dialogue from the two main characters, whose perspectives drive the story. Madigan and Grace had been through quite a lot, but through it all had formed such a close bond, which still stood strong after all the years. But some of their inner dialogue was quite negative and defeatist- and I understand why it was written that way, but knowing didn’t make it any less frustrating (for me). And at the same time, I really felt for them and wanted to tuck them under my wing and ‘mother’ them.
I liked that we got to see the characters grow and develop a little over the course of the story, and I hope that they will continue to do so through the rest of the series. I will definitely be reading the other instalments in the series- to see what’s in store for the characters next. I like the ‘direction’ the storyline seems to be heading in, which holds a lot of promise for the other books books.

Thank you, Ms. O’Brien!

That voice belong to a guy called Padraig, he looks like a thug full of tattoos and a aggressive temper to go with it.

But people aren’t always what they seem and as they begin to get to know each other they realise just how wrong they were. First impressions aren’t always the right ones.

This is a wonderful murder mystery. When a dead body is found the two woman report and investigate upon it. While doing this it brings up the past which was filled with foster homes and abusiveness but also how they became friends. The two ladies were wonderfully written as we learned what haunts them as the story moves forward. Sometimes I am not a fan of the past dumped into the present but this time it was done tastefully. The secondary characters were done nicely as well. They helped move the story along without overshadowing the main characters. This is my first book by this author and she wrote a wonderful intriguing story with great characters. I recommend this if you enjoy a suspenseful tale filled with murder and intrigue.

There are moments that are touching. Don’t miss out on a story that has wonderful characters. I highly recommend reading it.

The Girls Across the Bay (The Knox and Sheppard Mysteries, Book 1) by Emerald O’Brien is a mystery thriller and a good start to the series. The story kept me glued to the pages and wanting to know what was coming next. It is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster and the storyline and the plot was well done. There are some dark moments in the book but there is also some light. The story was told in dual POV with the sisters which was great because it enriches the story being able to get inside their minds.

Madigan and Grace met in the foster care system and were manipulated and treated badly by those who should have loved them. Now adults, they are reunited but when a murder happens their past comes back to haunt them.

I look forward to the next book.

When the bounty for an escaped phoenix crosses her desk at the Phoenix Location Agency, she expects a typical bag and tag. Instead, she discovers the target, Aiden, is none other than her lost love.

When both are taken in by the Magical Creature Underground, reconciliation seems possible. But Aiden’s captivity comes with a dire consequence: a deadly poison is working its way toward his heart.

Scarlet Fever (A Johnny Delarosa Thriller Book 1) by David Stever is a five star novel. This book is one that you will pickup and not be able to put down. I loved the action and the thrill right from the beginning. As I picture the main character in my mind’s eye, he is one sexy private investigator. Even though he is older, he seems like he would be one that would catch my eye. The author does a great job of painting the picture of what he writes about and it almost felt like I could close my eyes and see the movie playing out in my head and that is when you really know that it is a great book. When Johnny meets his clients, they meet in a back booth in a bar. The clients all come to him through word of mouth and they are all high paying ventures. He is very secretive and feels the need to be since he is a private investigator. As you read this book, you will see into the life of what it would be like to be Johnny Delarosa.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Girls Across the Bay is the first novel in the Knox and Sheppard series by Emerald O’ Brien. This is my first novel by this author.

I really enjoyed this mystery novel involving two girls that are in foster care and are separated but meet again as adults because of their careers. It made me curious how much the two had changed as the years passed and how much the past affected their lives. The author does an amazing job of weaving the past and present giving the reader just enough information without spoiling too much and still leaving some questions to be answered.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this novel or not. Sure it had some flaws such as some things didn’t feel all that realistic but it didn’t take away from the story just because some things were described or in depth.

I loved the characters as well as the twists and turns. I don’t want to give away too much.

This a series I look forward to continuing.
