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

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

This was another book to this series. Highly suggest that you read the other books in the series before diving into this one. This book had me from the beginning once again, I couldn’t read it fast enough to find out everything that was going on in it. This book was very well written that it makes you feel like your right there with the characters of Arcelia and Prince Rodrick. the love between these two almost feels like your eves dropping on then and you really shouldn’t be, but it really makes you love and care for each one of the characters in their own way. This book had some twist and turns that were unexpected but amazing and really kept me reading more. It is high paced but filled with so much from love, romance, secrets, lies, mystery, suspense, action.

4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Anticipating Book # 4 of this series…this story continues to bring me intrigue, adventure, secrets, love and family. I had to really pay attention a bit as the change of the chapters of whom was “speaking” but I quickly caught on and I thoroughly enjoyed this book so much.

Picking up with Arcelia and Prince Rodrick ….Arcelia is trying to prove she is with Prince Rodrick for love and not for power as Prince Rodrick’s mother believes this may be. Arcelia heads to underground city of Siesa Arid…. where her family, twin cousins, resides. In light, Arcelia is trying to find out if her mother is behind some devious crime. Will Arcelia find out any truths or be encircled with more lies? Will Prince Rodrick be there for Arcelia, especially with danger around?

This is a very good fantasy story that really leaves you wanting more. I am so looking forward to seeing what is in store to come from this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Descendants of Time and Death (The Gods; Scion Book 2): This is the second book in the series and I suggest reading them in order as the story will make more sense that way. This is another wonderfully written piece of fantasy that I highly recommend taking the time to read!
An entire year has passed since the Demon King Ryton’s reign has finished. Every turn and every corner, more threats are coming, and a war is on the horizon. Roderick and his brother Rayden are fighting to stop the upcoming war, along side Arcelia and her mother Riva. This amazing book is full of twists, turns, spirals, family secrets, and so so much more. This is another book that is beautifully written and I highly recommend taking the time to read!!

Love, Only Better (Bold Journeys Book 1) by Paulette Stout – Review by Jo Wright

Love, Only BetterLove, Only Better by Paulette Stout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I knew this was going to be a good one as soon as I read the author’s note. It was incredible! I’ve been a woman too emotionally entangled in my own thoughts to focus solely on taking care of business and while I didn’t go through the extremes that Rebecca did, I still find it deeply connecting. As a woman with high anxiety and past anorexia history, I can relate to our heroine in this story. The way that she spends so much time worrying about what everyone else thinks and feels smaller than the people surrounding her is such an incredible transformation to the rising phoenix that she turns into. Able to hold her head up high with confidence, she fights to the end and grits her teeth to become empowered as strong and ever-fierce as any woman could ever hope to be. This is written so passionately and so personally. We need more of this kind of women empowerment in the world!

While threats follow them every step of the way, their story takes even more twists and turns as the story progresses.

What a cute and entertaining story. Counting is not the only subject in this story. You get science, colors, as well as rhyming words. This story is easy to follow and it involves the children. Another great open ended story, to help grow our children’s minds. The author keeps her readers focused and opens up the little minds of children. I love that in a book as well as in the author. I am looking forward to reading more of these stories from this author. So are my grandchildren.

The Ring of Eagna (The Cross of Ciaran Book 4) by Andrea Matthews – Review by Kerry Carr

The Ring of Eagna (The Cross of Ciaran #4)The Ring of Eagna by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in The Cross of Ciaran series. I love these books so much. The author takes us on a magical adventure filled with danger, magic, a secret treasure, Romance and some time travel. The author does an amazing job of writing a unique story with historical elements that really bring the story to life.
As this is the 4th book in the series I really recommend that you read the other 3 books first as they all follow each other and without it i feel you wouldn’t understand the links to the past the characters have and how they got to where they are now.

We are back with Ciaran and Aodhán as they go on an adventure to find treasure they learnt about in ancient manuscripts. They have 2 of the 3 rings needed so all they need to do is find the 3rd ring and then the treasure. Should be simple right? However they aren’t the only people looking for this ancient treasure and their search leads them into more danger than they have ever been before.
Will they be able to find the treasure? Does it even exist or is it a myth?
Who else is after the treasure and what lengths will they go to, to make sure that Ciaran and Aodhan and Caitlin don’t find it?

This story is fast paced and full of twists and turns that I couldn’t even guess who the bad guys were. It kept me captivated from beginning to end.

Ten little starfish is a brilliant little counting book where you can learn all about the numbers one to ten, while also learning about life under the sea, as you explore the world of ten colourful and cute little starfish.

You will dance under the waves, explore the tidepools, watch as the starfish play with their friends, all while counting their legs, looking at all the beautiful colours and spotting the other sea creatures who live around them.

Book 4 in the amazing The Shadow Chronicles series and again it does not disappoint. The Author concentrates on Kimber (Tashas younger sister) in this book and we follow Kimber as she recovers from her time in the harem of her previous coven leader, and as she starts to find herself she meets Fabien.<br />The witches still search for the second elemental sorceress, Tasha and Levi continue to win slowly against the hellspawn, but there is more to it than they think.<br />Fabien brings a whole new level of intricate back story to the series. <br />This author has managed to keep me hooked through all four books so far. Another 5* from me.<br />Thankyou for sharing your words.<br />

Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4)Forbidden Blood by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kimber is a young vampire with a damaged past, she has been used by others for their gain for most of her life and her gifts have now become more of a curse to her, but because of this, she is treated like a fragile ornament and her family do everything that they can to protect her, but all Kimber wants is to be left alone. From being a youngster, her gifts have been hidden away from fear of what their discovery might mean, but it just meant that when she was conscripted into the vampire military, she had no experience of controlling them and her family’s worst fear became a reality when her coven leader used it to his advantage.

Fabian is a Watcher, a shaman entrusted with keeping the balance between the worlds and documenting all the comings and goings of both the human and supernatural beings within it, but all that changes when he comes across a vulnerable, pink haired young woman. For generations his kind have lived hidden from the world and drawn deeply from the magical wells of their realm, they have witnessed creation, separation and destruction during that time and vowed not to interfere in the Earth realm, however, the boundaries they have been protecting are crumbling and the problem is worse than they feared, they now have to make a decision about whether they can remain on the side lines.

Kimber is desperate to go outside and one day, she just does, she goes running off into the woods and escapes from her suffocating life, but her life changes when she meets another from a magical race she had never heard of rescues her from the hellspawn who attack her and when Fabian does this, he makes a choice which could change everything and everyone involved. Can Fabian bring out the strength he knows lies deep within Kimber so that she can finally use her gifts her own way and do the good she has always dreamed of and will it lead to the magical communities being brought together to fight this unearthly and evil creation? This is a fantasy adventure with a romantic heart, where secrets, revelations and discoveries lead to choices and consequences which lead to a make or break point in a war which has been waging for eons, as this rollercoaster of a ride takes you along all the highs and lows within it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book! This is the second book in this series but can be read as a stand alone. It takes place AFTER book 1, follows the story line of different but adjacent characters, and any information you need is given to you. If you’re the type of person who like to follow characters throughout a series, this book is for you! I was excited to hop into this one and figure out what was going on from the first book. This store is cute and light hearted and captures the story of a mysterious guy with a good heart. The characters are so relatable and its a very easy read!

How can a series continue to pull you in as this one is. Book 3 and still adding more to the story that keeps you hooked.<br />Lycans, Vampires, Witches, Sorceresses, Hybrids, and things from the Realms of Hell.<br />The characters continue to grow and their relationships as diverse as they are continue to grow.<br />The different species continue to work together and fight each other, the new witches, looking for their sorceress seem to not be as open to things as they could be.<br />Tasha and Levi continue to develop and their families are brought more to the forefront, special gifts that were hidden are brought out as people escape from tyrants that are amongst them.<br />Another 5* read.<br />

The second book in the series and I cannot say how much I have completely fallen in love with these books.<br />We continue with Tasha and Levi as their relationship continues to grow and expand, encompassing more of their family, friends and units. They are still at war, but what are they fighting?<br />WE are shown a peek of the black lycans, and Levi takes Tasha to meet his grandmother and more information on the past comes to light.<br />The Characters all continue to develop, even the newer members are involved in the storyline. <br />I really hope that after the trials that Tasha has been through that Levi and her have a happy ever after but I feel that the way this book has progressed they have more to go through.<br />I am straight onto book 3, Paranormal, Magic, Mystery and Cliffhangers, keep you needing to know what happens next.<br />

I enjoyed this book. It was funny and entertaining gripping your attention and making you want to know what happens next.
Lizza is disgusted and embarrassed by everything her father is doing for their family. As a typical preteen girl, she would prefer to not have so many embarrassing things happening within her family to make them stand out.
She’s trying to help her family fly under the radar, despite her Dad’s business ventures but everything she tries continue to backfire. How many things can her dad do to embarrass her and how many ways can her ideas go wrong?

The Magic Carousel is the first book in The Brass Ring Series by K.L. Small. It is a wonderful children’s chapter book- a fun fantasy adventure with action, carousel, horses, a brass ring, magic, time travel, history, challenges, imagination, drama, and learning.
The story is quite captivating with lovely illustrations sprinkled throughout, which really help to bring the story to life. I liked the notes provided for each chapter which was provided at the end of the book as they added extra insight and information that enhanced my appreciation of the adventure. There is also a helpful glossary of words at the end of the book.
Another fun read from this talented author. A story for the young- and the young at heart.
And… Can we take a moment to appreciate the fabulous cover!
Happy Reading…

Thank you K.L. Small!

Love, Only BetterLove, Only Better by Paulette Stout
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Love, Only Better is the first book in the Bold Journeys series by Paulette Stout. This is the first book that I have read by this author, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her stories. But the cover drew my attention and the blurb sounded interesting- so I took a chance and set off to explore the book.
It is a women’s fiction story- but focuses on a subject matter that is only too real. The story hopes to highlight this ‘secret’ issue in the hopes of helping other women who have the same struggles. The subject of intimacy, sexuality, gratification, and pleasure aren’t always easy topics of conversation- especially if you struggle to reach fulfilment. This can lead to secrets, angst, anxiety, feeling ‘defective’, confidence issues, and self-worth issues that puts even more pressure on the woman, and their (intimate) relationship/s. The story takes us on Rebecca’s journey as she grapples with these issues. This is an honest and insightful account of Rebecca’s experiences and her quest to find a ‘solution’ to her problem- and is a bit of a journey of self-discovery.
I found the story interesting, and I really felt for Rebecca and what she was going through. I really tried to connect with her and become invested in her story, but never quite got there.
I felt that the story got too ‘bogged down’ and a bit lost in all the details and descriptions- some areas are way too detailed and very ‘blow-by-blow’ – while other areas lack the detail I would have liked to see. This is also a ‘romance’ story- but I felt their ‘connection’ was kind of washed over a bit. But, maybe we will get ‘more’ of that in the second book- ‘What We Never Say’, so I will have to wait and see what happens there- so stay tuned.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Paulette Stout!

This story teaches us a very important message that it’s ok to not know everything and you don’t need to have all the answers. There’s the right amount of humor mixed with a few emotional moments but I couldn’t stop till I finished. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next with Sage.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Completion. I flew through the previous two books and this one was no different. The need to learn more about Tasha and Levi and know what happens next left me little room to breathe as I devoured this final book of their epic story.
Unlike the previous two books this one started with a prologue on how the different species came to exist. As well as how the fear of the Olympians forced them into chaos and war. Quickly it is apparent as to how Tasha and Levi were able to love each other so completely without understanding why but not fighting against it and embracing it. Picking up where the previous book left off the hellspawn have learned when the Lycans are at their weakest and they are in turn at the strongest, during the new moon. Only now the miracle that is Persephone has unseen power that allows her to keep those she loves safe despite her age and size. As the truth of how all species came into existence is brought to light the alliance that was destroyed centuries ago reforms. Tasha and Levi played the central part in proving that their species coexistence is possible and that the lies they were told were to keep them apart. To keep them from becoming more powerful than their creators. Magic is back and reclaiming their place in the war against the hellspawn that wants to burn all whilst claiming the Earth for themselves. Once again, more secrets erode as the truth is revealed.
Can Tasha and Levi find their way back to each other in the darkest nights ahead? More secrets revealed but what does the mean for those affected? What will happen to the alliance when their story is complete? Once more the author finds ways to make the world more complete and more complex as we learn more about how the species were created, and how the war truly began. Seeing the characters morph into so much more than the youth of book one has been one of my favorite parts, as they became not only confident in themselves but in each other. Bittersweet, as much as I love reading Tasha and Levi’s story, I am excited to see how the world expands and changes with Kimber’s story in book four, Forbidden Blood, and how it will continue in the war against the hellspawns.

A vampire attack on the Shadow Pack may end in their destruction.

Scared and confused, Tamaska refuses to see or talk to the man who lied about what he was. Kodiak is a wolf shifter and even though her heart breaks at the distance between them, her fear of this supernatural world threatens to break the connection with him.

Tamaska is determined to overcome her fear and steal back the Blood Opal from the vampires so her life can return to normal. She sneaks into the night club in search of the Blood Opal, what she finds is far more terrifying than Kodiak and his pack could ever be.

Kodiak is rejected and disconnected, and loneliness eats away at him threatening to push him towards insanity if he can’t find a way to convince her they are meant to have a future together.

Forbidden Mate (The Shadow Chronicles Book 2) by CR Robertson – Review by Ayla Phipps

Forbidden Mate (The Shadow Chronicles)Forbidden Mate by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Revelations. Okay book two takes everything and bumps it up several notches. This book begins a few months after the events at the end of the first book. Once again CR Robertson pulls you in and after a slightly slow start you can hardly get a breath.
In the few months since the confrontation with the hellspawns Tasha and Levi have found a sense of normalcy in their crazy world. Levi holding true to finding a way for them to be together publicly and not having to be apart for another ten years while finishing their conscriptions. While at the end of book one Tasha could still feel the dull hum of the creatures killing the vampires and Lycans she could hear them at times. Knowing they must be regrouping the vampires and Lycans made agreements of sorts that ends the war between them to combine to beat the common enemy before them. In the first book it is also revealed that due to the moon goddess making Tasha and Levi fated mates, she was changed to a deeper level allowing her to walk in the sun. Only she and Levi know this and go to great lengths at times to keep it that way. The chaos of war tomorrow is promised to know one. Grasping every moment with Levi, Tasha fears a world without him. Learning more about the secrets of her coven Tasha begins to learn how much of her life was based on lies and half-truths of those that held power.
How far will Castus go to claim what was never his? Can the Vampires and Lycans succeed at defeating the hellspawns? Once again, the world the author creates is one of total intrigue that pulls you into the world beside the characters. The characters continue to develop and grow as they experience more than what seems possible to overcome but they survive by sticking together through it all. While reading the first book the love story seemed to be at the center and to a degree it is, but the fact is that it is the war that is the focus that has encompassed both species for so long that the purpose of the war is long forgotten. Tasha and Levi’s story is the light in the war that makes everything worth overcoming the evil lurking in the muck. I cannot wait to begin book three, Forbidden Moon, to see how Tasha and Levi’s story continues and what they will overcome.

Regaining Integrity (Code of Honor Book #4) by Brooke May – Review by Angela Hayes

Regaining IntegrityRegaining Integrity by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Regaining Integrity is the fourth book in the Code of Honor series by Brooke May. I can rely on Ms. May to deliver a captivating story that never fails to pull me in and immerse me in the lives of her characters as everything unfolds- crafting ‘real’ and relatable characters that I can’t help but become completely invested in and have me rooting for them right from the outset. But that’s not to say there weren’t some frustrating moments where I wanted to shake them, well especially Chase, and tell them to get their (his) act together 😊 But they really were perfect for each other- even if they didn’t fully realise it to begin with. I also loved catching up with some other familiar faces we’ve met previously- that added an extra element of fun for me, too.
This proved to be another sublime contemporary military romance, with a little drama, chemistry, steam, and plenty of emotion. Definitely worth the read!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Brooke May!

The Finding (Berrycreek Heights Series Book 1) by A. M. Porto – Review by Beverly Finnie

The Finding (Berrycreek Heights, #1)The Finding by A.M. Porto
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well that was a wild ride. The Finding was a suspenseful story of love, survival, perseverance, anger and so many other emotions. The author keeps you turning the page.
The anguish Logan feels throughout this book can be felt. You want him to find his love. You want happily ever after. You feel how broken he is and you want him to heal.
Starting in the past and ending in the present, this book is Logan and Victoria’s story. A story of love & hope, quickly turning to fear & anguish. Victoria has disappeared and nobody believes it besides those closest to her.
Victoria is a fighter. She has to be for everything she has been through. What keeps her going is her love for Logan.
Will she be found?
Will the authorities finally start to believe Logan, about her not leaving of her own accord?
That and so many more questions come about, especially when reading the chapters about the past.
The author seems to have started a new series, and it’s a series that looks to have a promising future. Based purely on the start.
