The Good Neighbors By Kiersten Modglin is an awesome suspense thriller. This book had me hooked from the very first page, and I couldn’t put it down until the last. I love how when I finally thought I knew what was going on there would be another twist would come along. This book kept me guessing all the way through. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Modglin, but it definitely won’t be the last. I can’t wit to get my hand on another book of hers.

The Matchmaker’s Match was a great 5 star read and book three in the Man’s Best Friend series.
We get pulled in right from the beginning with Meredith meeting a man in a bar at the hotel she was staying at. She ends up having a hot and steamy one night stand…We jump ahead one month and Meredith is getting ready for her best friend’s wedding.
When she meets the best man she is shocked to see her one night stand, Linc. Lincoln is equally as shocked to see Meredith at the rehearsal dinner. When Meredith ends up very sick, Linc helps her by taking her to the hospital where they get some shocking news. Lincoln was great, trying to help Meredith.
Can a one night stand turn into an unexpected HEA? Will Meredith get what she’s always wanted?
These two connect on so many levels, you could feel their chemistry coming off the pages. I had some LOL moments at the bantering and we get some steaminess as well. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it can be read as a stand alone. I have plans to go back and read the others in the series and I look forward to reading more from Nicole. 1-click and get started today.

The Girls Across The Bay (Knox and Sheppard #1) by Emerald O’Brien was a pretty okay read that kept me reading and engaged.
I very much got sucked into this book right away, I loved the cold open, and the way the first sister was introduced. We get to see her passion and get some dark back ground on her. Told in duel POV, we actually get inside both of the sisters heads, and I loved that the author choose to go that path. It added a nice layer of complexity that draws you in.
Now, I will say that when the sisters were together I had a bit of a time trying to separate their voices, and inner dialogue. It was hard to keep track of, and I had to do some rereading to get it all straight in my head. The transitions were a little rough, there was no break you could say, thus making the reading choppy and a little disconnecting. Sometimes the best way for transitions is to put a physical break in, like a symbol, to let the reader know that one scene has ended, before jumping into the next. Quick cut jumps only work in TV/Movies.
Other than that, I loved the plot and the mystery. It was compelling, well thought out and entertaining. I loved the sisterly connection and the strong bond they shared. It was for me the true highlight of this suspenseful read. There was wit mixed with darkness, that drives this story, and the tone has a bit of that heart pounding urgency that you can’t help but get addicted to. This book will have you on edge, and have you piecing the clues together with them. I’m fully committed to these two sisters, and I will be checking out more from not only this series, but this author as well.
With that said, this book gets my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Jumping the Shark by Heather Silvio is the fifth book in the Paranormal Talent Agency Series. I have enjoyed this series from the start and recommend reading from book 1 first. This can be read as a standalone book but the backstory to the underlying story would be missing. This book gets finally into Barbara Knollman who is a demon in charge of the paranormal underworld in Vegas for years. She is up for reelection but things are not going as expected. Also, to throw her off even more Liam steps back into her life. He is an angel who has a past with her. I think the characters are fun and overall this is a lighthearted read. Each story is like an episode so there is closure on a primary story but with an underlying story that is carrying through all the books. I have become a fan of Heather Silvio because of this series and am looking forward to reading more from her in the future.
My goodness! ‘Moves’ by John Michaels was by far in my top ten mystery/thrillers of 2019 that I have had the pleasure to read! John Michaels was a completely new author to me, but when the stunning cover captivated my eye I just knew I had to know what story accompanied it. I am so glad that I scooped this up, and I look forward to now getting to read whatever else by Michaels that I can get my hands on in the very near future.
‘Moves’ literally gripped me from that very first chapter and refused to let me go well past my bedtime. I devoured this in one sitting and honestly it was a constant struggle between wanting to drag it out and savor the delight or scramble to finish in order to find out what will happen! Robert Jake is the kind of main character that you fall in love with and feel as if you know in real life by the time you finish the book. This man struggles with the grief and guilt of the loss of 18 of his soldiers while under his command and protection. He is also a single father and the host of a popular radio show. What doesn’t even seem fair is when the murders of two innocent women and the district attorney winds up coming connected to him! What will come of the situation? Will Robert find a way to live the remainder of his days in peace with his past so he can enjoy his future? You have to pick this gem up for yourself to find out. I can guarantee it is one story you do not want to miss!

I must start this review with the preface that I absolutely adore Jane Suen, and so every book of hers until this point has been a hit, 5 stars easily for me. I was a tad let down with ‘Children of The Future.’ Upon further looking at reviews and goodreads I found out this was Suen’s first novel and so things really made sense. This is on par with a first time novel from most authors and in the long run it made things easier for me to digest at the end of the day.
Children of The Future is a twisty and mysterious tale of a small town rocked by the sudden disappearance of a bus full of students and their teachers. All have gone without much of a hint as to where except one, Telly. A strong main character among many I still struggled to find his voice in this. The bus driver, also spared from the mysterious disappearing act, teams with Telly, the parents, and the police to try and figure out what happened and how to bring home the children. The trail is complicated and a tad slow, but intriguing enough to wonder what is going on and keep reading. Just as it seems they may have figured things out Telly disappears and even more shocking twists arise. Overall the ending seemed to round out the story and left me for the most part satisfied. While this isn’t a strong five star read for me I enjoyed it enough to give it a solid four stars. I look forward to seeing what else is available, as we await new stuff, from the talented Jane Suen.

Wayward by Via Mari is an excellent start to the series Billionaire Bodyguards. It is a story of romance with a little mafia/bodyguard mixed in the story. I have read other books by Via Mari and I have enjoyed those stories, so I thought I would pick this one up. I am glad I did. Her writing style is very descriptive and the characters will become part of you as you read through the story. This story is about Sasha, a Russian Ballerina who is in the US on an extended visa. She is well known for her dancing abilities, but she has secrets she does not want the public to know. Then there is Jay, who just happens to security detail for two wealthy men in the US. Jay is drawn to Sasha and does not know why exactly, as he has never felt this way before. What if anything will come of Jay and Sasha? Will Jay be able to protect his clients and will Sasha be able to let Jay into her secrets? You have just read this book for yourself to see what happens to Sasha and Jay.

The Girls Across the Bay by Emerald O’Brien if the first book in the Knox and Sheppard Mysteries series. This is an intriguing book that will keep you guessing right to the very end. From the moment I read this story I was hooked. I wanted to know what was going on and how everything was going to connect. I found myself trying to guess what I thought the outcome would be – I can definitely say I was wrong! I also felt that the book had really strong characters. Madigan and Grace were such strong characters that, for me, they definitely carried the whole book. They had such a depth to them and I really felt like I connected with them both immediately. My only niggle about this book was that it would have been nice to get fewer descriptions of the characters thoughts. Although I am one of those who absolutely loves to be able to get inside the minds of the characters I do also like to be given the chance to “fill in the blanks” so they say. I had such a strong sense of personality with the characters that I don’t think so much input was needed from the author. However, this didn’t put me off the book at all – it was just my personal preference of how I like books to be constructed – and I will certainly be reading more in this series.

Well this novel certainly plays with your mind your always left questioning thing’s but that’s why you end up being so eager to turn the page’s you just want to find out what is happening! The author has a magical way of pulling you in with the first few pages and then building up the story just enough to keep your on your toes within just afew chapters as well as the character’s you really get to know them just within a short time absolutely beautifully written! I really did enjoy this mystery read your trying to come up with theories while your reading which I find fun especially when you realise you were completely of track Haha!

I am not a huge reader of paranormal books but the blurb of this book sucked me in. A Deal with Death is my first book by this author and definitely will not be my last. This book is about Odette who is one strong woman who every time she falls in love her mate dies. Once she gets reaquainted with James who she knew from school things start to change. James being a werewolf knows that she is his mate but can their destiny be any different than the her past soulmates? This book was a very good read and kept my interest for the entire book.

I give The Matchmaker’s Match (Man’s Best Friend Book 3) by Nicole Flockton, 4 stars.
Meredith just got out a bad relationship. She decided she doesn’t need a man in her life. However, she sees a sexy man during her layover and decides to go for it. One night stands are not her thing, but it could help get over her ex. Never in a million years would she guess that same man she met in another state would be best man at her best friend’s wedding. And somehow she keeps running into him. Just when she has her life figured out, the powers that be seem to work against her. Is he what she really needs or just another wrench in her plan? And what does he want?
This is a great addition to the series. To be honest, Meredith annoyed me in the beginning of the book. But that is the point and she grows exponentially throughout the book. Lincoln has been a bachelor for so long and has no interest in having kids, but he startd to see things differently when he meets her. He changes in his own way too. The story of the two of them is quite interesting and very realistic. Throw in the dogs, and it gets even better!!
This is a contemporary romance revolving around therapy dogs and I highly recommend it.

A great read about change. Barbara Knollman is getting ready for the electoral campaign for mayor. However, things are turned on a head when a bus carrying the candidates to a venue is involved in an accident. With only one other candidate alive, Barbara grows suspicious. Can she prove that he did it before its too late? A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Barbara determined but with her doubts underneath. I loved how she was given her time to shine in this novel as a main character instead of on the sidelines. Great cast of supporting characters like the kind Liam or the concerned Lynn. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with Barbara’s house with its comfy chairs and tables, using small spaces for scenes of tension and conflict perfectly written. Or the scenes with the accident with the wrecked bus and blue lights so vivid its as if you’re actually there. Once again, a wonderful example of world buidling with fantasy creatures coexisting alongside humanity with their own rules and laws and societies. A wonderful example of building upon the sequel with more fantasy creatures such as angels and demons and archangels true to their origins and given the respect they deserve. I loved the idea of them having powers and that angels could be ordinary people instead of being descended from gods as usually seen in fangasy novels. The combination of the demons of fabtays and realism of politics made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars

A great read about control. Odette is a voodoo practitioner associated with the lua spirit Baron Samedi, the god of Death. She moves into an old house in New Orleans and lives her life without living or giving into her mysterious powers. But when ghosts walk through the house and her soul mate returns, fate seems to have other ideas. Desperate to avoid fate, Odette will have to find allies and use powers to save him. Can she do it or run from fear of her powers? A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Odette standing up for herself but vulnerable and afraid underneath or James determined and cocky but kind and caring underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the fun friend Natasha or the no nonsense Noah. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the house with its bright pink walls and little windows, inviting and welcoming but still large enough for a sense of unease with empty rooms wonderfully written. Or the use of colour throughout in the small details like the purple veve scarves and the cards for a splash of colour in a harsh world around them. Or the use of the senses with the taste of rum or the smell fot he forests later on so strong its as if you’re actually there. A wonderful example of world building with this magical society coexisting alongside humanity with their own laws and rules. A wonderful example of building upon the sequel with added fantasy elements such as ghosts and priestesses and fortune telling and the Rougarou later on. I also loved the sense of culture this novel includes with the voodoo and its Haitain roots with tis gods and rituals and offerings, giving it an unique flavour to draw readers in and a sense of community between characters and loved the inclusion of its language and terminology which was a lovely touch. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

Ruin: The El Diablo Chronicles By Autumn Sand. Ahhh this author just gets me! I absolutely was entranced by this story, the characters are complex, relatable and simply put just amazing. From page one I knew I’d be reading this in one sitting because I wouldn’t be able to put it down and I was right! I felt a huge draw to both Tallie and Raymond they just spoke to me more than some characters do. I’ll definitely be thinking about them for awhile. I highly recommend starting this book when you have time because you will not want to put it down. I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend it.

Act II. Playing with Fire (Moore Family Saga Book 2) By Michele Sims. Once again this author pulls me in and won’t let go. From an interesting storyline and amazing characters I was hooked. Readers are taken on quite to adventure with these characters. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. The author does a wonderful job of writing a story that comes alive before your eyes. I liked this one a little more than the first but they are both awesome. Lecia and Cade are just unforgettable characters but all the characters it this story are also incredible! I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend it.

The Girls Across the Bay (The Knox and Sheppard Mysteries Book 1) By: Emerald O’Brien 5 out of 5 stars
The story The Girls Across the Bay (The Knox and Sheppard Mysteries Book 1) by Emerald O’Brien is a wonderful mystery book. I was hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the last page. It is a story that had me turning pages in order to find out what happens next. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Madigan Knox and Grace Sheppard. They became sisters when they lived in a foster home and a strong bond formed between them. They live through a nightmare and then they are split up. Years later they are reunited in a small coastal town. When a young woman is found dead Grace is the one that investigates the crime. What happens next opens old wounds and secrets are revealed. What happened to the young woman who was found dead? Is the bond between Grace and Madigan strong enough to withstand the rumors and secrets? How much danger are Grace and Madigan in? Read this book to find out. This is a story that takes you on a journey that keeps you guessing. The book has scenes that are intense. There is suspense and mystery. I grew to care about Grace and Madigan with each chapter that I read. They had been through so much and I couldn’t help but have empathy for them. There is also emotional moments and dialogue. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you on the edge of your seat. It is a story I would highly recommend reading.

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I found her writing to be creative as well as, well developed characters. I was pulled right into the story and felt as if I was part of it. They took me on a magical journey of fantasy that the characters intertwined with each other. It has just a little bit of everything in it from romance to action. The Dreamer is my favorite character with superpower and an innocent side too. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book. I was pulled right into this story and sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. The characters as they were supportive to each other as well made me feel part of the story. Madigan and Grace were in the same foster home growing up. Now as adults their past is about to collide with their present. What happens when you can trust no but each other? The twists and turns involve suspense and murder, you don’t want to miss this book. A must read.

There is something for everyone in this book. I found my favorites and a couple of new authors as well. Two of my favorite stories: Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes which is about Captain Samantha Caldwell. While she was in Iraq, she killed a terrorist leader but now that she is back home, she may be a target. She’s Having a Baby: This is about unexpected changes that happen during fire season. All have great characters that are strong and pull you into their stories. A must read anthology.

A Deal With Death is the fourth book in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series. You can read this as a standalone, but all of the books in this series have been stellar so you’ll probably want to read them anyway.
I have always loved a story with Voodoo components, and this one has a great foundation. I also loved the way the reincarnation aspect is woven in. This story caught my attention from the beginning and held it all the way through. The characters are vibrant and come alive on the page making you feel like you are in the story.
Murder. Romance. Spirits. Destiny. It’s a wonderfully written tale of the paranormal variety! ?

Act II. Playing with Fire (Moore Family Saga, #2) by Michele Sims
5 out of 5 stars
Act II playing with fire in the second book in the Moore Family Saga written by Ms. Sims this book was awesome I love this book/series. The characters are still amazing and well written and the storyline was awesome.
We get to see Cade and Lecia Moore’s and what has happened in the last few years. Cade’s music career has taken off and while finishing a schedule of gigs in Paris, he gets a call from his brother Vincent back in the states, who has been watching over his son, Miles, and his wife, Lecia.
Vincent has some surprising news. Miles, now seven, is showing extraordinary abilities that allow him to produce fire. As a member of the Network, a secret society with nearly bottomless resources, Vincent has been able to determine that Miles’s abilities aren’t unique but an extremely rare genetic mutation.
Cade returns to the states to be with his family, but it’s clear that life cannot go on as normal when Miles suffers from an intense illness that leaves him immobile and mute for days. Through Vincent’s Network contacts, Cade and Lecia are able to find adequate care for Miles at a facility that understands his condition. On top on Miles fire ability he shows an affinity for several other skills, from writing as a result of his extensive vocabulary, to singing and dancing. I loved reading this story/series so far and can’t wait to get my hands on the third book in this series and see what Ms. Sims has in-stored for us next… I highly recommend this book/series By Tracy

I really am enjoying this series and I think that this is my favourite book so far! I love how original the stories are, each one connected but also so different. The author’s writing is flawless and an absolute pleasure to read. Her storylines are imaginative and her characters creative and realistic. In book 5 we see Barbara, a demon and very entertaining character team up with Liam, an angel to try and find out what is going on and clear her name! I really liked Barbara and Liam, I thought they worked well together and had a great amount of chemistry! I still love that hint in the background of these stories that something extra exciting is going to be coming along soon and because of this I would definitely recommend that the stories are read in order! They are all short entertaining reads so any reader would not be disappointed! I am very excited to see where the author takes the next book!!

Everyday Enchantments is a love letter to the magic of everyday life, the sweet moments and the profound that we often overlook in our hurry to get from one place to the next. What if we had the power to unplug from our daily hustle and bustle and conjure a more profound way of living rooted in natural mysticism?
We do. All it takes is the whispered wish for more everyday enchantment breathed onto a dandelion head. This collection of essays reminds us to escape into the ordinary, find beauty in a simple cup of tea or rereading a beloved novel—and joyfully let our world turn upside down when synchronicity strikes in the form of wrong turns down forgotten lanes and unexpected midnight conversations with the moon.
This book is a study in what it means to live deliciously, joyfully, and magically. And it’s an invitation to conjure your own bliss—-because let’s face it: we could all use a little more magic in our lives.

I’m a self professed lover of regency period fiction and looked forward to reading what sounded to be a clever premise. The book was good, the plot was enjoyable, and the main characters were as I expected them to be. Overall a good book and easy read.

What the Holy Hell. I couldn’t put it down till I finished and my gosh the ending I didn’t see coming. Harper and Bryant, they are in a new town, with a new house and new jobs and the neighbors. Their first encounter with the neighbors was a bit strange to say the least. What secrets are the Fuller’s hiding? Find out what happens next in this suspenseful must read.Im definitely going to be reading more from this Author.

Wayward was a great 5 star read and book one in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. I was pulled right from the beginning and didn’t want to put it down. Jay is the head of the security team and Sasha is a ballerina from Russia.
Jay is called in to help Sasha and he’s not happy with what he finds at the club. Ever since Jay saw Sasha he’s always had a thing for her, so his protectiveness kicks in full force. When he finds out that she has ties to the Mafia and is in danger, he is determined to keep her safe.
Will Jay be able to keep her safe?
There are so many twists and turns. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next and my emotions were all over the place. All of the secondary characters were great. Via Mari’s writing pulls you right in, you feel like your right there with the characters, the detail is great. I highly recommend reading this series, you will love it. I look forward to reading more from Via Mari and this series.

The reasons to LOVE this story! First it’s loaded with characters that we have previously met and adore. Second we finally…finally get to learn what’s up with Tallie. Thirdly we learn more about El Diablo and his BFF Chicken. I enjoyed the dynamics between El Diablo and Chicken…I really thought these are two cold blooded killers. El could be so cold and ruthless to people even Tallie. While I hated El upon the first few meetings between him and Tallie I eventually saw through his words to the man underneath. Plus when she was going to walk out on him…in the kitchen…what he said? ….so uncharacteristic of him. That makes me believe in him.
I absolutely loved Tallie’s “real” name. But her earlier life I could have done without. I really felt for this poor girl and can see why she is the way she is now. Her life just ripped my heart out. In previous books Tallie wasn’t a well liked character because of her actions. I am glad she got her own story and her own ending.
This book is full ON emotional and brutally honest. I ran a gambit of emotions while reading including shock more than once. I can see why the author struggled to get this one out. As previously stated I loved these characters before and now that encompasses Tallie, El and even Chicken. This is a stand alone book and not for the faint of heart. For those that love a walk on the darker side….pick this up. I would recommend reading the Twisted Heart Series as some of the characters overlap. As usual Autumn Sand does not disappoint. She is a one click for me. BTW—Great Cover!!

Wayward (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 1) Via Mari 4 out of 5 stars
Wayward is not my first experience with Via Mari’s writing, it’s the first of the third series I’ve read. While it isn’t necessary to read all of the books in each series, there are characters that show up throughout each and it’s always fun to see how lives are intertwined. Via Mari has a talent for crafting hot and steamy chemistry between characters with strong storylines. I used to have a preconceived notion that if a book was sexy it couldn’t have substance too, Via Mari shatters that misconception with each book I read. I have to say I loved Wayward and it may have been my favorite Via Mari book thus far. I look forward to seeing what more is to come.

The Good Neighbors is a messed up book, but in the best possible way! It is the first book I have read by Kiersten Modglin, but it wont be the last. The story as well as her writing had me not wanting to put the book down. I finished it in less than 24 hours, and was guessing until the very end. It was full of suspense and mystery, leaving you wondering who the good guys are. The book didn’t end the way I expected it to, and I now want to re read it, knowing what we learn at the end. Are the neighbors next door just too good to be true? They are both attractive, with great jobs, and an amazing home. But, shortly after moving in next door to them, strange things begin to happen. Those strange things soon turn creepy and leave you wondering if they are friend, or enemy. I don’t want to give anything away, but I highly recommend the book!
