When I first saw the cover for The Forsaken: Wraith by Martin Ferguson I knew I had to read it. Personally I love fantasy and this cover alone drew me right in, and the synopsis just added to the thrill of wanting to read it. While I have read a lot of fantasy novels in my lifetime but this one was one of my personal favorites, there was so much adventure, great characters, and a fantastic plot line. I was so captivated by the fine details, the journey that the main character goes on and just the overall plot of the story that I just couldn’t put it down. So if your looking for a great adventure/fantasy book this weekend then I highly recommend The Forsaken: Wraith.

This is the first book that I have read by this author. Janey has suffered a lot of loss in her life. Her parents were killed in a car accident and her sister disappeared. Or did she? Janey receives a letter in the mail from her sister that sets off a series of events. Her sister is alive and believes she has a stalker. But the letter showed up in terrible condition….when was it sent? Janey takes finding her sister seriously, she takes a leave from school and travels to Redemption, Wisconsin, the last place her sister had been. I cried for Janey and her sister. I had to read the ending twice, to really let the twist sink in. Michele PW is a great story teller and I recommend this book if you enjoy psychological thrillers.

Henry “Hen” Trout has a good life for a seven year old. Hen has an awesome big brother, Tyler, a best friend, Murphy, and is studying how to set a hedgehog trap. When Hen sees a horrifying attack on his neighbor and babysitter, Ms. Sally, his world gets turned upside down. Hen doesn’t want to believe what his memory and the evidence is telling him, that Tyler was involved, but there are just somethings that can’t be wrong.
Tyler Trout has a great mom and a fantastic little brother that he adores. Tyler also has dark feelings that he hasn’t been able to fight lately. Tyler has found two things that help with the feelings, his mom and something he shouldn’t want. Tyler’s mom isn’t an option these days as she works too many hours.
This is a slow burn. I wasn’t getting it at first. Finally, when it clicked, I couldn’t put it down. I loved the relationship between Hen and Tyler. Tyler is as protective of Hen as Hen is of Tyler. There are so many scenes throughout the book that made me glad I was alone when reading. I yelled at characters not to do what they were about to do, like when Marcella broke Derek’s heart unknowingly. I needed her to take that back so badly. Be prepared to be hooked. JD Spero creates full characters to be loved and hated in this small town. I have to know if Louis finally came home!

Houses of Deception by Cynthia Hamilton is the sixth book in The Madeline Dawkins Series. This book can be read without reading the rest of the series, but I highly recommend reading the books in order. There are ongoing storylines throughout the series that accompany the various mysteries. Madeline and her partner Mike are back in action. There are two different crimes on the books, all while trying to balance the events business. I enjoyed this series and was excited to pick up this book in the series. I like Madeline and how she has progressed and changed as a character. She gets better in every book. Mike is an excellent contrast to Madeline and adds a different tone to the books. Together they work well. I look forward to reading more from this series and the author soon.

Wow. This book will have you trying to sort through all the pieces up until the very end, with a major surprise ending. Janey enlists the help of her friend and roommate, Bryn, in trying to solve the mystery of her missing sister who disappeared years ago without a trace after receiving a letter two month’s delayed by a postal service mishap that indicates Kelly is still alive and going by the name Ashley. Because the letter is ripped to pieces, the pair piece together enough information to determine where the letter originated. Janey’s pursuit for the truth leads to her taking the job as a nanny to three children, where Ashley last worked, and uncovering even more mysteries as she tries to uncover the truth about her sister’s original disappearance and what led to her most recent disappearing act. This kept me on the edge of my seat and puzzled through various twists and turns along the way; a real page-turner with a truly original storyline.

Wow Manda Mellet’s Avenging Devil Part:1 Satan’s Devils MC: San Diego was such a good development in the Satan’s Devils MC: San Diego was fantastic, I couldn’t put it down! As the name suggests it puts Niran’s point of view into two books which means we end on a cliff hanger here! I love a good cliffhanger because it means you get to carry over that same excitement and energy from the past read right into the text one! This book definitely has dark moments especially as we learn about Saffie’s past. I absolutely love Saffie and love her edition to the Satan’s Devils MC: San Diego family! It’s a rollercoaster to the very end ending with a bottomless drop! Loved this book!

This book was book 2 in the Satan’s Devils MC: San Diego series and it was such a good read! We get to get an in depth view from Grumbler’s and Mary’s point of view. The world building includes Mary’s daughter who is 17 who makes some risky choices. I loved that within the family of the San Diego chapter that we got to see a new depth unfurl. While there is some deep drama and dark things there was a whole bunch of cuteness too! I loved this book!

This was my first reading of Manda Mellett’s work and I am so glad I did! I loved it so much I read the next three one right after another. You learn about Lost the prez of the Satan’s Devils MC: San Diego, his current and backstory and then finding about the world Patsy and her son came from and watching how everything unfolds was such a treat. Spicy and suspenseful! A fantastic read and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good MC read!

Azrael by Matthew Huntley is a debut thriller novel that was a great read. I really enjoyed the character building in this book and the twists and turns that came along with it.
The book is set in New York state mostly taking place between Oswego and Buffalo. Levi Andrews is a retired lead officer who locked away serial killer Azrael a decade ago. Parker Williams is a young detective who has contacted Levi, now a drunk after losing so much after solving the original case, when new murders similar to the originals a decade ago have occurred and they are now wondering, have they locked away the wrong person? Or is this a copycat? Pick up a copy and find out for yourself!
If you love crime and thriller books, this book is for you. It has the twist and turns of a thriller with a police crime storyline that keeps your attention and wants you to keep reading right until the end to find out what happened! I really enjoyed this book and I hope that Matthew writes a second in the future!

Avenging Devil Part: 2 picks up right where we left off and ends with the finale to Niran and Saffie’s storyline. We get to see bumps in the road for those two and how they work past Saffie’s distrust as well getting to read Grumbler’s point of view again and get the epic conclusion this storyline deserved! I absolutely loved Reading from Niran and Saffie’s point of view. These two books were by far my favorite in the series and after reading all four of Manda Mellett’s Satan’s Devils I can’t wait to read her other past work and all future work! Absolutely loved these books!

I thoroughly enjoyed this love story by Angelique Jurd. It was so fun to watch Bailey grow as an individual and find love with Sam. I think the story is a tribute love of all kinds as it gives us hope that no matter what our little peculiarities might be we can still find someone who loves us as we are. Sam and Bailey are so good for each other and I was happy to see them connect and come together with their love. Angelique Jurd interested me and I look forward to reading more from her.

Cursed Touch, the latest in the Broderick series, follows middle brother Carter as he unexpectedly finds his mate in Vanessa Rayne, jewelry maker and business owner. Carter, blessed with the ability to heal, meets his mate when she brings her neighbour to the hospital where he is consulting in his capacity as a doctor. After saving her friend, he can’t stop thinking about her, and the fates step in to cross their paths again. The relationship is fraught with danger (obviously!) and Carter takes every step to protect her until they discover the source of the threats. Vanessa seems to be able to sense magic and magical beings unlike other humans, and the revelation of her backstory is great. Also, Renee, CAN WE PLEASE GET PETER A MATE! I love this character (leader of the Alumbra werewolf pack) and we really must see more of him. Cursed Touch follows the same narrative arc as the others in this series, so if you loved any of the other ones, you will love this one too!

Levi Andrews is a detective who has seen too much and has turned in his badge and turned to the bottle to try and numb all the feelings he is trying desperately to suppress, one day when he wakes up to another sunny day and another hangover, nursing a sore head and a cup of coffee he is disturbed by a knock on the door, when he asks who it is, he is surprised when it is a Detective who is looking for him, he wonders if it is to do with his private investigative business, but he is pretty sure he kept his nose clean, but when he asks what the visit is about, the Detective says is it about Azrael, a name he has tried to forget, a name associated with a case ten years ago which ruined his life. Levi considers his options and contrary to his need to run, he opens the door and invites the Detective in, he introduces himself as Detective Parker Williams and goes on to explain that a murder has occurred which he believes is the return of the Azrael killer, he has brought a case file with him with some photo’s and reports in it to show Levi and ask for his help in solving this new case.
As he looks at the information Parker brought with him, he can see the similarities, but when he is asked if he will help, he is not surprised that it isn’t something that the higher ups don’t want him involved in, especially after who he left when the original killer was arrested, but it irks him that this young Detective is trying to tell him that he thinks he arrested the wrong person, because the details are too similar for it to be a copycat, in the end Levi asks when the Detective is returning to where the murder has taken place, he says he will meet him an hour before and give him an answer. Levi now has to make the hard decision as to whether to return home, or let sleeping dogs lie, as he tries to weigh the pro’s and cons, he concludes the current case he has on.
As it approaches time to go, Levi decides that he will pack his bag and go with the Detective, he is still not wanting to, but he feels that he has to see whether what he suspects is true, or whether Azrael really has returned. Will Levi and Parker be able to work together to solve this new mystery and get to the truth of the matter at hand, or will Levi drown in his past memories as he confronts the things he has buried for a decade? This is a thrilling chase as the two Detectives race against time to solve the case and bring a killer to justice, all the while battling their own personal demons, when they are brought into the light of the present.

I was very pleased that Max Broderick got his turn at love. He’s one of my favourite of the Broderick clan – a handsome veterinarian that can communicate with animals? What’s not to love? When he meets injured werewolf Claudia in her wolf form, he is drawn to her, and works hard to save her. After realizing that she is his mate (despite not being a witch!) he is patience personified in his steadfast love for her. She take a long time to heal, but slowly he wins her trust. Max and Claudia’s romance brings new levels of depth to this set of books, and I really enjoyed watching it unfold. We also get to explore the relationship between the Broderick witches and the Alumbra pack of werewolves, and how they have forged a bond, despite weres and witches being natural enemies. This might be the best one yet!

Cursed Sight follows the love story of Serena, high priestess of her witches coven, and Ethan Broderick, youngest brother of the Broderick clan. While mentoring Ethan’s newly developing oracle powers, Serena becomes aware of a strong attraction to him immediately. She identifies that Ethan is her mate, a powerful bond between magical beings, unlike any other. Serena is magnificent in her role as leader in the coven, a strong independent woman, who supports all of her witches to become the best they can. Ethan is young and handsome, learning to become an oracle for the group. His visions are chaotic at first, but many of them revolve around Serena being killed. Together they hunt down the person who is trying to kill her. I tore through this book in one night. Lots of action that keeps you guessing til the end, and the romance was great.

A very well-written haunting tale. Like her other books, Holmes has extensive knowledge of the historical era in which this is set, which makes for great realism. Unlike some of her other works, I found this one more accessible and easier to fall into without a background in ancient times. The characters are full and complex, their emotions and motivations varied and interesting. I deeply felt some of the horrors that Uqnitum endured on her journey. It is quite an emotional work, and I connected with it immediately.

Such a deliciously exciting romance. Characters that have intense chemistry but also have secrets from their past that must be dealt with. Strong feminine characters make for great novels because she maintains that strength as she also shows some of her vulnerability. She has a strong supportive group of friends that are their for her that make sure to stay in contact. This was such a wonderful novel because it had such a realistic taste of relationships and we got to watch them build and grow. Highly recommend.

Bake Believe Audible Logo Unabridged Audio Book by Cori Cooper is a great YA book that really draws you in and makes you become invested in Cat. She is such a loveable character that brings the whole story to life.
Having read this book previously I was excited to listen to the audio book version. And while I still really enjoyed the story I did struggle with the narration a bit. I found it hard to connect with the person telling this story, hard to listen to their way of bringing it to life. Their style definitely suited this type of book which makes me think this is definitely a personal thing. and knowing how good this book is, it doesn’t take away from it being a 5* read.

The Third Nanny: A twisted psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping ending (Secrets of Redemption) by Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) is a fantastic book that really keeps you on the edge of your seat. I was pulled into this book immediately with the way the author sets the scene and and creates an absolutely gripping tale. The whole way through this book it kept me guessing as to what might happen in the end. I read this whole book in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. I would love to say so much more about this book and what happens but I really won’t because I wouldn’t want to give anything away, not even the smallest of details. This is one book that is a must read for everyone.

Can I just say the more I listen to Author Carrie Pulkinen’s books the more I love them! This book is a fun, fantastic listen and with parts I laughed out loud. I loved the story between a Necromancer, Jasmine and Grim Reaper, Asher. When Asher leaves his door open by accident there is ghostly chaos. Jasmine loves Asher and eventually helps Asher to round up the ghosts. This fun rom com is just truly fantastic and the narrator is perfect!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was an amazing book. The characters had me feeling all kinds of things. I even cried. So many twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat. The intensity is palpable between Zoe and Archer. Zoe comes to work for Archer as a dark sparrow to keep an eye on him. Danger is close as he tries to close a deal to sell his Oil and gas refineries. Finch is always in the background in this novel as well. Pulling strings and trying to bring down a bastard son of his. If you loved book one you will fall in love with this book as well. Be prepared to not want to put this book down though. I pulled a very late night. Onto book 3 as I can not get enough of this fabulous author and series.

I enjoyed her modern approach to BDSM with this story involving kinks and sex clubs.
The chemistry between Hawke and Char was super hot. She was a strong confident woman who was trying to discover herself more. He had to discover parts of himself too.
The plot was well planned and written. And I think that both their character’s development was good. The book also had some mystery to it. I did not see the twist towards the end.
I for one am looking forward to seeing more of Anise Storm’s work. .

Slow to start, Boy on Hold by JD Spero, has twist & turns that made it impossible to put down. I am amazing how JD put into prospective mental illness and how it affects not only the person suffering, but everyone that knows that person.
Boy on Hold, starts off as more JV, and then turns into a complex novel of forgiveness & how hard it is.
Hen’s thoughts of how love could be like Play Dough, as described in this passage, blew my mind: “Hen imagined love was like Play Dough. He could keep it warm in his hand and mush it around, change its shape. It would get under his fingernails and into the grooves of his thumbprint. Once, Hen ate some. It tasted okay. Sometimes, tiny specs fell onto the kitchen floor and dried into hard pebbles. Mom would sweep them up and throw them away. Was love like that? Could it change like that?” ***Page 3189 of 4103 78% finished.
The one passage that broke me down and made me connect with Marcella in a way no author has ever done; is this: “He knew who she really was—a broken woman who lived in denial. She loved the wrong people, suffering valiantly, hurting those who loved her most.” *** Page 3359 of 4103 82% finished.
This is a five star book, showing a mother’s love, a brothers ultimate passion of belief in his older brother and how mental illness is passed from family member to family member with no one ever noticing.

There was never a dull moment in this story! We start with Radhika and a bit of her backstory. We meet her aunt, grandmother, and brother and discover how everything starts to tie together. I have been reading books lately that are slightly out of my small comfort zone, and I have been astounded at the amazing writing I have encountered so far. This book did not fail me on that aspect. The characters were wonderfully written, the deception and taunting made everything that much more intriguing, and not being able to tell whether they were in a dream or real life was wildly entertaining. I love the myths and folklore that took up storylines in this book and was pleasantly surprised at my ability to solve a riddle as quickly as I did! I am thankful this is a series because JU Menon has done such a beautiful job that I cannot wait to read the next installment!

I really enjoyed this book. The story is captivating. Its one of those books that you can’t put down because you need to know what happens next. The characters are well written and believable. Their thoughts and feelings are easy to understand and you go through all the emotions with them.
Charlotte is a party planner. When she is hired to organise a party of a new club called Syn she gets into a world she’s has experienced before. That experience has left her scared when the dominant male just left her. Still suffering from that moment she is left reeling when she realises that the guy she is working for is the same guy who abandoned her.
Hawke is a successful business man. He loves his dominent lifestyle and all that brings. He has rules and if they aren’t followed he send the women away. Which is what he did with Charlotte. However she is one submissive he has never stopped thinking about.
Now back in each others lives they have to fight the attraction between them but they are both fighting for opposite things. Charlotte is fighting to prove to him they could walk together where as Hawke wants to distance himself. Hawkes past has made him the man he is today and we learn about his past through this story.
The book is fast paced and very passionate and steamy. And along with with deep parts about Hawkes past life it all gels together to make a romance that you can’t put down.

Journey Through TimeSpace by James Talisman is the 2nd book in the series. I read both back to back to assure I give my honest opinion on both. The author is very good at setting up the characters and the stories, it was difficult for me to become fully immersed in the book. This second installment was better than the first for me but still was a struggle on my end to be fully engaged. My personal feelings on spiruality and meditation really got in my way of being able to get fully immersed into the story. While this is a great book for many and the author is very well versed in his style, I just felt it was an ok read.

Journey Through SpaceTime by James Talisman was a difficult read for me. I typically can jump right into a book but I found this very hard to keep my interest and was easily distracted while reading. Perhaps it was trying to get into each individual storyline and character grouping. I don’t typically delve into this type of story but I do enjoy multiverse type of subjects. With this, I was hoping for more crossover into the multiple worlds and dimensions that the author lays out for us. All the meditation was too much for me, but this is from a perspective where I personally don’t find value in this form of mental awareness. The author is very good at describing the multiple worlds and people but it became too descriptive and longwinded for me in some places. I was hopeful for more of the action I see from other reviews, but half way through, I felt it was lacking in what I consider action. I do feel this book is good for some readers, but just ok for me.

This book had me hooked from the beginning. Jody can’t hold down a job, is unfocused and lacks drive – as her family keeps reminding her. Once again she is unemployed, and when her grandma needs someone to help she’s reluctant to go, thinking she’ll only mess it up as usual. However, once away from her family she has the chance to thrive. Adam had spent his whole life in Clover Bay and has no intentions of ever leaving. He isn’t sure what to make of Jody, but he’s sure nothing can happen as she isn’t staying for long. As Jody and Adam strike up a friendship, they start to push each others self imposed boundaries, urging and supporting the other to try something new and live a little differently. I loved how these two helped each other out and really supported each other. Adam was a total sweetheart, always there to help and support anyone who needed him. Leaving her family was the best thing for Jody as I don’t think she realised how much they influenced her work attitude. I really enjoyed the ending, it was perfect for these two and the epilogue was so sweet.

This story is so sweet you might go into sugar shock. Elle is going about her life, or what she thinks is a life, when Zane moves in next door with his chain cake shop. Elle is sure that Zane is out to destroy her business as strange things start to happen. What if Zane isn’t the enemy? I am telling I laughed, I cried, and I am currently sitting on the edge of my seat to read the next book!
