Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite Book 4) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Lyndsey Fairley

Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite #4)Brutal Nights by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wasnt sure how this one would go with how the previous book ended. (if you haven’t read Brutal Days do that first and that’s not a suggestion that’s a requirement lol)

Damon and Skylar, what a mess things have become and with being their age their feelings are strong but neither know what to do with them and then they worry about the thoughts of others around them (don’t we all at that age)

I won’t spoil anything here as this book was packed with lots of eventful things, reading them makes the story understood and it’s highly needed to make sense of it all.

Cannot wait to dive into Cruel Start! This series is one of my favorites.

The Sisterhood of Secrets (The Gods’ Scion Book 4) by Winnifred Tataw – Review by Julie Johnson

The Sisterhood of SecretsThe Sisterhood of Secrets by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finally, Princess Arcelia gets to be the focus of the adventure! I’ve been a bit of a fan of her from the beginning and I’m glad that her story is finally coming out.

I do recommend reading the previous 3 books and reading them in order to fully understand the context of this adventure series.

Continuing to learn that there are more secrets, lies, and betrayals, Princess Arcelia and Prince Rodderick continue on their adventures to better their countries and lives. This world that the author has created is very interesting as it’s a mix between a modern and a futuristic world full of hybrid beings. Princess Arcelia is determined to find out more about her mother and her deeds and begins to find out that things are nothing like she thought. There are many twists and turns in this one, making it hard to put it down!

The Lone Star Child (The Gods’ Scion Book 3) by Winnifred Tataw – Review by Julie Johnson

The Lone Star ChildThe Lone Star Child by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the fantasy series featuring Prince Rodderick of Diar and his girlfriend, Princess Arcelia. It would be best to read these books in order as there is a lot of background information that is essential to understanding the progression of the story being told.

There continues to be a lot of family drama, more secrets, adventures and betrayal. This time, the Space Acolyte Caro is missing. She is beholden to the help from Time, Life, and Death, as well as assistance from Rodderick to escape her captors and restore order.

This is a fast paced read that will be hard to put down and I’m excited to read the next installment of this fantasy adventure series!

A Match Made in Montana (The Millers of Marietta, #2)A Match Made in Montana by Elsa Winckler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in The Millers of Marietta series. I did not read the first book but had no problems figuring out the “extra” characters. This book focuses on Annie and Craig. Annie and her siblings have moved to Montana after their parents unexpectedly passed. Annie is using some of her inheritance to open a B&B. She loves to cook & feed people. In comes Craig, a marketing hotshot from Portland. Both Annie and Craig claim to not be interested in each other but it’s soon evident that they have a connection that they can’t ignore.
Overall the story moved along and the setting was well written. The main characters were easy to connect with. I will be reading the first book in the series soon so I can delve into Annie’s siblings story.

Descendants of Time and Death (The Gods' Scion, #2)Descendants of Time and Death by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I highly recommend reading this series in order. If you are unable to for some reason, at least read the first three short stories in book 1 before proceeding to read this one or future books. Having a background in the different types of beings and how they present will be vital to your understanding of this story. The background from book 1 will also help tremendously.

Rodderick is teaming up with his brother Rayden to try to prevent massive destruction all for nothing. Rayden has a history of drug abuse and doesn’t have the best relationship with his siblings but sees the need to try to mend fences for the sake of the country and his family. There are so many secrets that are being kept within and from the family and these secrets are causing decisions to be made that probably shouldn’t be.

This book has a bit more adventure than the first one and will keep you turning the page to find out more! Also, check out the cover art on this one. It’s brilliantly gorgeous and really drew me into reading this series!

Child of Tempus (The Gods’ Scion Book 1) by Winnifred Tataw – Review by Julie Johnson

Child of Tempus (The Gods' Scion, #1)Child of Tempus by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Told from multiple points of view, this story is about Rodderick, who is the Prince of Diar. He is an Acolyte of Time as well as a dragon/human hybrid.

This story is full of adventure that is happening around Rodderick and his country of Diar. His dad, Demon King Ryder, has been thought to be dead all these years. However, Rodderick finds out that this is not so. This poses a bit of a problem because King Ryder would like nothing more than to have Rodderick dead.

Rodderick and Princess Arcelia are forced to go into hiding to prevent King Ryder from finding them. Rodderick has a lot more to learn about his country and isn’t get much help from his drunk mother to learn important things he needs to know.

This was a super fun book to read about hybrid creatures, princes, princesses, kings, queens, war, and lots of family drama! It was an entertaining afternoon for sure!!

Cruel Start is part of the Hidden Valley Elite (Book 5)and is the prequel to Phoenix and Aspens Duet Cruel Hate and Cruel Love. You guys this author is killing me slowly with this teaser and cliffhanger. I devoured this book in no time and absolutely can’t wait to get my hands on Cruel Hate. I highly suggest you start with book one and read this series in order as you’ll get to know the characters better and the back story of what has been going on. Phoenix and Aspen holy moly these two.

I tend to gravitate toward psychological thrillers to get me out of a reading slump and I was drawn to the cover of this one!
I’d never heard of this author before stumbling across this novel but the synopsis coupled with the cover work drew me in. The storytelling hit the ground running from very first page and I found myself on edge as the story progressed. The writing was strong and the love to hate main character was written even stronger. This was a book that left me wanting more in all the right ways following a ride full of twists and turns. Definitely a well written thriller worth reading.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rise of the hunter is the fourth book in the Blood Prophecy series. This is the first book in the series that i have read, I did not read the first three books and I was able to follow along although it was tough with different point of views and the flipping back and forth with the timeline. I wish I would have read the other books for more backstory, and I would highly suggest starting the series from the beginning its a great read you won’t regret it. This is also the first book that i have read by this author and I don’t usually read Supernatural or Horror but i loved this book. If you love all things supernatural such as Vampires, witches, Werewolves exc this is the book for you. I really enjoyed all the characters in this book but Chloe and Malakai were my favorites. I do plan on going back and reading the books I look forward to reading more books by this author. Thank you for this amazing read and i look forward to reading more books by you.

Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite #4)Brutal Nights by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Skylar and Damon have been caught in her bed by her mother and Gia. When Skylar had gone into the living room to talk to Gia, Damon dressed and followed. Gia slapped Skylar and Damon intervened to prevent Gia from slapping her again. Skylar felt horrible that Gia wouldn’t talk to her and she was pretty sure Damon didn’t talk to her either. The following day, she went to work, Gia entered with her new friends. Gia taunted Skylar with remarks “I don’t know what he saw in you other than a cheap f*ck” :Bring me a Diet Coke, and don’t touch the straw, who knows how many diseases you might have after screwing half the guys in our class.” When Skylar exited work, her car tires were flat. Damon picked her up and took her home.

School wasn’t any better because there was a group wearing #TeamGia t-shirts. The laughing, rumors, and Gia even being so bold as to shove Skylar in the hallway made life almost unbearable for Skylar. Damon didn’t take too kindly Gia’s antics and plotted payback. However, Skylar tied his hands because she still cared about Gia. Just when things couldn’t be more stressful, Skylar noticed a strange car was appearing down the street from her house and then in the parking lot at her job. Her father was supposed to be released from prison soon. He had gone for almost killing her mother and hurting her. Only Gia knew this secret, but with the turmoil possibly ending their friendship, who could Skylar turn to.

Watching Damon change from being called Demon into someone with more compassion was entertaining. This book has all the witty remarks, justifiable revenge, and steamy scenes for that any romance novel would have. However, realistic elements of possible danger, destroyed friendship, and unpredictable twists are also included. The details are vivid and the alternating view from Damon to Skylar gives this book a full 5 stars. I recommend this series to anybody who likes relatable adult stories.

Cruel Start (Hidden Valley Elite #4.5)Cruel Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phoenix hates Tracey, Shane’s girlfriend of two years. He knew she was a gold digger. While playing football on the beach, Shane’s shoulder is dislocated. Instead of riding to the hospital with Shane, Tracey hangs back at the beach. Phoenix intercepted Tracey when she finally showed up at the hospital. Instead of letting her go back, he lied and said that Shane’s football career was over. Tracey didn’t show up for Shane’s physical therapy appointments. When she tried to visit Shane at the house, Phoenix repeated his lie.

Meanwhile, Aspen was trying to escape the constant fighting at her house. Her sister had moved into her boyfriend’s house. Aspen overheard her father shouting how his life would have been different if her mother hadn’t trapped him with the pregnancy. A party was being held at the cliff that Aspen liked to dive at. Her friend Erin introduced Aspen to Piper, Teagan, and Tracey. Piper thought Aspen looked familiar, but Aspen said they had only arrived in town. The girls were friendly, except Tracey was still standoffish. Phoenix hit on Aspen at the party. Piper encouraged her, so Aspen followed Phoenix to a secluded spot. Aspen lost her virginity that evening. However, Phoenix then walked away afterwards. Unfortunately, Aspen does not have the chance to walk away.

This novella left me wanting to dive right into the next book. This is the perfect teaser for this series and it leaves a lot of scenarios in the air. Phoenix, the always quiet and reserved one of the entire group getting into a bind with a poor girl depending on her scholarship to stay out of the toxic life her parents had is definitely worth reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brutal Nights is the next book in the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn, this book carries on from Brutal Days, which needs to be read first or it will make no sense. At the end of the last book Damon and Skylar’s relationship was discovered by her mum and best friend. This instalment follows the two characters in the aftermath of this, trying to work out what their next steps are while also navigating the complexity of high school friendships (and mean girls) while also dealing with an unwanted visitor from the past. I am really enjoying this series, looking forward to the next book already!

A Match Made In Montana is the second book in The Millers of Marietta series and is a wonderfully written Second Chance Romance/Contemporary romance that I loved reading. I was hooked from the very beginning and had a hard time putting it down. This is a fairly new author to me but I enjoy her style of writing and attention to detail. Her characters are fully developed and relatable plus they make the story come to life. Although this the second book in this series it can be read as a standalone. Craig and Annie had a brief meet couple months back but now her sister Vivian is getting married to Craig’s cousin Aiden. Annie moved to Marietta after her wedding was called off. She wanted a freshstart so she bought and renovated a house she would turn into a B and B. Craig works for a marketing firm and is in town early to help with wedding stuff or that’s what he thought. These have some serious chemistry between them. They’ve both suffered loss of some sort can they be what the other needs? This is a sweet romance I highly recommend reading to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series I can’t wait for Mitch and Riley’s story.

My Goodbye Girl by Anna Gomez – Review by Kerry Carr

My Goodbye GirlMy Goodbye Girl by Anna Gomez
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really beautiful emotional romance. The author gives these characters and their lives so much depth that you are completely immersed in their story.
This is definately a story of a chance meeting turning into a romance that changes and consumes the lives of the people involved.
Simon and Tessa are so different that it makes the whole opposite attracts saying so true. Although as the story progresses their differences also causes them problems as Simon wants to settle down and Tessa is enjoying her jetting life too much.
Their story of meeting by chance and the subsequent meetings and leavings makes this story such a moving read. Your heart breaks for them everytime they part and makes you wonder if they will ever just compromise so they can be together.
It’s not a straight forward romance and with loss, and circumstances in their separate pasts that they need to work through you are always wondering if they can ever make this work or if they are doomed to constantly say goodbye to each other.
This was a very emotional read. My heart cried for them several times during the story and I wasn’t able to put it down. Such a beautifully written story and it was nice to travel the world with this amazing couple.

I swear these books are too short! Book four in an eight part series is here and it was another good read. Damon and Skylar are still dancing around one another, but the attraction is too intense to ignore. Skylar finds out that her father, who has been in prison, is set to be released and he wants revenge. Damon, understanding what is about to happen from the experience with Riley and her mom, asks the one person he truly loathes for help. Will Damon be able to save Skylar in time? Each book in the series is good on its own, but to get a better background you should read them in order. Damon has always had to be tough and act like he didn’t care, he is your typical bad boy. I felt like he matured a lot over these last two books and we finally got to see that vulnerable side we have all been waiting for. I can’t wait to read the next installment of this seires.

When we are young we make promises to friends with the best intentions. Most promises aren’t too serious, or we don’t remember as time passes. Laurent and his friend Phoebe promise to get married to each other if they were both unattached at 40. Phoebe turns up after a significant amount of time to cash in on that offer. Laurent isn’t so sure he wants to make good on the promise after she left him behind without so much as a goodbye. Will they get a happily ever after? This was a good friends to lovers, second chance romance that can be read in one sitting. I have never read anything by this author before and I did enjoy her writing style. I look forward to reading more of her works in the future.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I enjoy this author’s writing skills as well as their ability to keep me engaged throughout the story. This book is no different. It is a well written story with immortals, magical powers and a woman who has been hidden until she is able to join the vampire army. This is a story that has much going on but the author did a great job keeping me coming back for more. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world with ease. They have great growth as well as growth with the plot. They also kept the story interesting and entertaining to read. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story that you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed reading this paranormal story. I highly recommend this book.

Two sets of wounded families collide in Montana. Typical small town living assures readers of some hilariously awkward moments! The protagonists face some seemingly large obstacles to their potential happiness. One has a gaping wound in the psyche left over from childhood. Another has a more recent adult-sized hole in the heart. The author brings the loveable characters of a small town to life to witness life-altering events among the ho-hum of the everyday.

This is a nice addition to this series. We have seen the mayor and his wife in previous stories. They always come off superior and less than human. In here we see another side of them ad we fet a sneak peek behind their closed doors. Uncomfortable in their life together and each not know how but wishing they could reconnect and always too busy with their business side and kids.

The author does a good job of bringing me around to liking and even feeling sorry for each of these two. I feel the story itself does move slow and I found myself easily putting this down. I am saddened by that since this is a good series with wonderful characters.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

The Finding is the first book in the Berrycreek Heights series and debut novel by A.M. Porto. This is a superb YA/NA romantic suspense with dark tones, tragedy, secrets, pain, heartache, danger, agendas, intrigue, emotion, twists, chemistry, violence, obsession, and more.
There are some darker subject matters/themes through the story that might be triggering for some readers, so if you have triggers, please be aware of this before diving in…
This book grabbed me right from the get-go, and when I was done, I went looking for more from the author, as I hadn’t read anything by them before…. and was even more impressed to discover that this is the authors debut novel. I wasn’t expecting something so engrossing and polished to be a debut novel. If this compelling book is anything to go by, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of A.M. Porto’s work in the future.
Expect an emotional walloping from this thrilling story.
Looking forward to more from the author!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, A.M. Porto!

The Sisterhood of SecretsThe Sisterhood of Secrets by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

The Sisterhood of Secrets is the fourth book in The Gods’ Scion series by Winnifred Tataw. As this follows from previous books I highly recommend reading the first three books before starting on this one- as there is a continuing storyline here with important information contained in the previous books that you should know in order to avoid feeling a little lost or confused in any way.
This is a fantasy adventure with action, secrets, twists, emotion, sci-fi elements, gods, magic, betrayal, danger, mystery, mythology, astrology, powers, intrigue, interesting world-building, romance, and complex characters.
Ms. Tataw certainly turned up the tension in this story, putting her characters, and me, through some intense moments- making this instalment the best of the bunch.
As I have mentioned with the previous books, Ms. Tataw has created an intricate world with unique characters, lore, culture, and beliefs. There are magical, fantasy, and sci-fi elements, which are all woven around things we are more familiar with- which makes the story all the more believable and relatable. I also appreciated the substantial reference guide at the end of the book, which was full of interesting and helpful information.
What has Ms. Tataw got planned for us next?
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Winnifred Tataw!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

“ She was an addiction I never anticipated, but I would slaughter anyone who even contemplated harming her. ”

 

“ I followed Kimber out the door into the inky darkness of the night, because for her alone I would break all the rules and cloak myself in death. ”

Colour me a happy little bookworm right now. This right here is pure paranormal perfection!! One of my top three books for the year so far!!! All the stars!!!!
Forbidden Blood is the spellbinding fourth instalment in The Shadow Chronicles by C.R Robertson. I devoured the first three books and they immediately hit my favourites list, so to say I was excited to get my hands on this fourth instalment is a bit of an understatement. I shoved everything else I was reading aside, and plunged right in to submerge myself in the story. I was so engrossed in everything that it only took me a couple of hours to read it as I practically inhaled it. I got to the end and turned around and started it again- it was THAT GOOD!!!
I had such high expectations for this book, as I adored the previous books (well lets be honest here, I have read and adored ALL Ms. Robertsons books) so this had a lot to live up to. But, again, Ms. Robertson didn’t disappoint conjuring an incredibly riveting read that has taken my addiction to C.R Robertson’s work to a whole new high- but it’s an addiction I have no intention of quitting any time, ever! This is definitely another jewel to add to Ms. Robertson’s crown.
Even though this is the fourth book in the series, it could be read as a stand alone if you wished. But in saying that, you would be seriously missing out on some spellbinding reading if you didn’t read the first three books- plus there is some continuing story arc as well as some shared timeline and other details that you will want to have on board to be able to fully appreciate this exciting instalment, and the series as a whole.
This is Kimber and Fabian’s story- we met Kimber previously as she is Tasha’s younger sister (Tasha and Levi’s story was in the previous three books). Kimber has never felt like she belonged. Always felt like she wasn’t ‘enough’. Always felt like she lived in the shadow of her older, more talented and capable sister. But fate has had its own plan for her all along, and the time has come for her destiny to be unleashed. Get set, because Kimber’s world is about to take a very intriguing turn. Add a swoony, smouldering, mysteriously sexy man to the mix, and the sparks fly.
This is a fast-paced, action-packed, adrenaline fuelled, paranormal romance, with a complex, multi-layered, and addictive storyline. The story is incredible, with vampires, shifters, Lycans, magic, different realms, demon hellspawn, witches, sizzling chemistry, politics, agendas, drama, danger, secrets, paranormal beings, battle/fight scenes, violence, adventure, sizzling encounters, fated mates, forbidden romance, and incredibly high stakes.
Again, I absolutely love Ms. Robertson’s take on Vampire lore, her imagination knows no bounds, and tells a very compelling and exciting story.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING!!! Seriously, if you love fantasy, paranormal romance, or just love being immersed in a spellbinding adventure- then you will really want to get your hands on this book/series, STAT! You really won’t be disappointed! But prepared for the massive heat wave and the addiction that will come with it!!
I am so excited to see what comes next…. Book #5 can’t come quickly enough!!!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, C.R Robertson!

House of Arsceneaux (Servants of Morrigan: Immortal Creatures) by Caterina Novelliere – Review by Amber Howard

House of ArsceneauxHouse of Arsceneaux by Caterina Novelliere
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sooooo my mind is blown. I had a feeling while reading this book that there had to be more to the story than just Cate being his wife reincarnated. I just didn’t expect it would be so much more. This book had me in such a hold. It is easily in my top 5 for the year so far. Just know that you are in for a hell of a ride. People are more than what they seem and what you think you know about the supernatural isn’t quite the same here.

A Way Out (Rock Star Book 2) by Tami Lund – Review by Ashley Mertz

A Way Out (Rock Star Book 2)A Way Out by Tami Lund
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Way Out by Tami Lund is available now in eBook
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

A Way Out by Tami Lund is the second installment of the Rock Star series. Full of energetic, charismatic characters Lund wins you over in this romance novel. This is my first time reading a novel by Lund and it did not disappoint. Her story line was spot on, keeping my interest the entire way. In the very beginning I found myself trying to figure out who was who and how they all fit in, but once that was cleared up I could not put this one down. Oz was my ultimate favorite character with not only his devotion to the children but his devotion to his happiness. I will definitely get my hands on the remainder of this series and seek out other novels written by Tami Lund. I highly recommend this romance novel for a quick easy weekend pick me up.

Sacrifice Bunt (Ground Rule Book 2) by Bree Kraemer – Review by Beverly Finnie

Sacrifice Bunt (Ground Rule Book 2)Sacrifice Bunt by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m starting to fall in love with this author. Book 1 in this series made me fall in love with the series. I thoroughly enjoy sports romances. Sacrifice Bunt is another favorite I plan to add to that sports romance list. It keeps growing, especially since I’ve been reading a lot of them lately.
The author put together another wonderful story between Noah and Zara. A misunderstanding from years prior led Zara to highly dislike Noah. However, when she finds out the truth does that change anything?
Noah has wanted Zara for years. Ever since he saved her life, she’s occupied his mind. Does he finally get his chance?
I really like the demonstration of growth for the two main characters in this book. The author also makes the characters relatable. I see a lot of Zara in myself, especially when it comes to expressing and voicing how you feel. Yeah, it reminds me of one of my flaws, however it makes me feel like part of the story.
No romance comes without a bit of drama but add in the sports aspect and I’m sold.
