Flowers of Evil (Hani’s Daughter Mysteries Book 1) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Alicia Furlan

Flowers of Evil (Hani's Daughter Mysteries #1)Flowers of Evil by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first novel in the Hani’s Daughter series. This mystery series is set in Ancient Egypt. The author does an amazing job describing the sights and life of Ancient Egypt. Neferet and Bener-ib are both senets (healers). They have opened their own shop together. A dying man enters their shop and they can’t save him. He utters a single word before his death that sets off an investigation by the two women. The author includes a glossary of terms and a character directory which was very helpful. If you’re looking for an enjoyable cozy mystery this is it.

I always jump at any stories this author has because I know I will really enjoy them and this one was no exception. This is a MM Romance. It is a second chance small town romance with danger and Suspense inside. It is definately a page turner.

Oh, I loved this story right from the start. James and Tessa have an attraction and watching that is cute, sweet and fun. Watching them also solve the mystery of who’s stalking her at her bakery is quite the whodunit also. This is a case that is both entertaining and full of twists and turns. Old faces are making appearances and this is a definite must read. This is book 2 of the series.

I absolutely loved this story! I can’t wait to read the rebel series now! I need more 😊

Read the trigger warnings; some of those themes are pretty heavy. I don’t have triggers but I sure did bawl a couple moments, the situations were written so well, you empathize with characters and it breaks your heart reading their stories.
I could not even believe a few things I read, leaving my mouth open in shock, which makes me NEED to read the series to get more details on the what, where, who, when etc

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From the description, I knew this book would be filled with many twists and turns, but what I wasn’t expecting was to be drawn into an unique series that will have everyone glued to the pages. The settings of Victorian London and more were so well written and vivid I felt like I was there and I didn’t want to leave! Barnett is such a creative and great author I would love to look more into her work. Her writing style had me hooked from the first page! The exchanges between Simon and Gaelan kept the story moving and it touched upon so many different things I really enjoy like celtic lore and steampunk. I am very excited that Barnett is releasing a second book in this intriguing and wonderful world!

This book did have me from the get go- the opening is filled with a flurry of events. I haven’t read any of the other books in the series. I’m not sure if this would work better fit in under publication order, or if it would work better in a timeline order. I liked it, and I’m intrigued enough that I’ll look into the other books in the series when I get time. I’m not much for rockstar romances; but so far so good.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While I may not have read the previous 2 books in the artics I have read another book or 2 by this author and I was ready to dive in 😉

Eden is bound by saving her family vs what her heart wants and she’s conflicted and I feel sorry for her …

Marty is at war with himself to a degree because what he wants isn’t always in line with what is godly , he has so much to give though of himself and if his heart ….

Nicolo reminds me a little of myself and my mindset , and questions I’m asking myself at the moment, he loves fast , wholeheartedly and with everything in him but people don’t always know how to handle that , some are threatened by it others run from it and then you have done that see an opportunity to abuse that beautiful heart and more often than not it leaves one disillusioned and questioning ….

All is not as it seems with this read and I asked myself many questions while reading this and I really struggled with my emotions at times but it’s because I live through my characters so you may experience it differently 🤷‍♀️

Could the town really be the home to aliens? This is such a good mystery book that had me loving the characters and the plot.

Rock Crush and Roll by Hunter Snow was a cute and endearing romance story. I really like Cary and Tyler’s romance. They have a lot of similar characteristics although they come from different backgrounds.

Not going to lie the ending of the story made me emotional. I usually on cry during sad stories but this one was so beautiful and genuine that I couldn’t help but get misty eyed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lost Hollow by Donna S. Frelick is my first read by this author, and I was thoroughly entertained. I’m not usually into sci-fi books, but Donna did a great job of writing an intriguing book. This story was filled with twists and turns, and quite honest a little bit of conspiracy was added in… which was a plus! We are introduced to Moira, who is on a chase to find her sister, the last time Moira heard from her was from Alienville but Moira has a feeling that not all is well. Moira has been working hard and is beginning to wonder if she is putting herself in danger by searching for her sister. Everywhere that Moira turns and thinks she is on the right path to finding her sister, her efforts turn into nothing but a blank lead.
Moria is introduced to Seth, the Chief of police along her path in the search for her sister Claire, but quickly finds that Seth may not be on the same mission that she is. Seth is trying his best to distract Moira to keep her safe, but he quickly finds that he has feelings growing for this woman, now he has some difficult choices to make.
Moira finds herself with some unfamiliar territory with her growing feelings towards Seth and feels like her efforts to finding her sister are going nowhere. What else will happen for Moira on her journey to finding her sister Claire, will she be successful in her search, will her and Seth grow into something more? The only way to find out is to pick up a copy and read for yourself! Donna, good job on writing such an entertaining book, I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the Alienville Series!

Cute book about a mouse who wants to build a plane so he can fly to the moon to get cheese for he and his barnyard friends. The other animals, except for bird, help him build the plane. Bird tells mouse over and over that his idea is absurd. After the failed flight to the moon bird tells us why he said the plan was absurd. I felt this book lacked an ending.

3.5*<br />This is the 11th book in the series and the only one I have read. It certainly worked as a stand alone as the back story is touched on and discussed in a way that you can follow but I feel you may enjoy more if read in order, saying this the Character development continues and the world is described in a way that you can visualise it easily as you read. <br />This story follows Master Bistrita and Chara, a fated mates BDSM relationship that could have been delved into a little more, and their story feels a little like it takes a step to the side as most of the storyline leans towards the hunt for someone betraying the Consulate and their mates. <br />I would certainly read more by this author to see if I gel with their style.<br />

Word Play by Tricia Gardella is a cute, illustrated children’s story book with a bit of an educational theme.
Joe is so eager to learn to read – but what happens on the first day of school when he expects to learn and ‘know’ how to read right away? Well, his impatience takes him on a little adventure, with some lessons to learn along the way.
The story is accompanied by cute illustrations which are bright, colourful, and engaging- helping the ‘adventure’ to come to life.
A fun story…

The Veil (The Veil Realms Series Book One) by Karli Rush – Review by Angela Hayes

The VeilThe Veil by Karli Rush
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

2.5 – 3 Stars

 

The Veil is the first book in The Veil Realms Series by Karli Rush. I was so excited when this book popped up on my recommended book suggestions on social media- as it promised everything that I love to find in an engrossing read.
Fantasy is one of my favourite genres, and add in some dystopian elements, action, and adventure- and I am hooked. So, I went into this with great expectation for all the promise that the synopsis held. And hello, look at that gorgeous cover!
But I have to be honest here and say, that while the ‘story’ component itself was quite intriguing, I just couldn’t find my ‘groove’ with the writing style- which was sooo disappointing, as I really wanted to LOVE this book so hard. Instead, I found it a very frustrating read.
Let me try to explain myself. The author has a VERY descriptive writing style, which is VERY heavy with adjectives. I mean, she has a VERY HEAVY hand when it comes to her adjectives, and not all of them were used appropriately for the context they were in. It made for a very frustrating and choppy flow – as well as being quite distracting from the ‘actual’ story that was being told. I find that writing that overuses adjectives, especially when they are not always correctly used, really makes the story ‘feel’ cluttered, and therefore, less impactful, because the excessive use of adjectives really ‘dilutes’ the overall impact of the ‘story’ and makes it much harder to read. I feel a little sorry for the author, as her editor could have and should have picked up on these issues and helped correct them- therefore letting the author down. This story could have been quite stellar- but unfortunately it misses the mark for me. See example below-
“Dashing through the enfeebling doorway, I race down the vine-covered steps, but before I can even reach the tree line, Rayden is chasing me down like a mountain lion on the hunt. Before I know it, I’m lying on the ground with him on top. Familiar with his kind of torture, I scramble to free myself. His hands grip my sides, pinning me in place, and then his malevolent fingers begin tickling me with no mercy in sight. My contagious laughter rivets throughout the silent woods as Rayden straddles over me. He taunts, “Do you give up?” Writhing beneath him, I try to speak, but it’s no use, so instead, I nod, confirming my submission. His controlled hands measure their way up my body, and his affectionate lips explore mine.”
-‘vine-covered steps’
-‘enfeebling doorway’ (does the doorway make you weaker by passing through it, or is it meant to describe a dilapidated, crumbling, rickety, or unsound doorway?)
-‘malevolent fingers’
-‘contagious laughter’
-‘Silent woods’
-‘controlled hands’
-‘affectionate lips’
I’m not saying that SOME of these aren’t appropriate to use – but using them ALL in such a short passage makes for a frustrating reading experience, for me. It felt like the author was ‘trying way too hard’. And the story reads like this, pretty much, the whole way through.
I also found that the ‘tenses’ chopped and changed in parts, was quite ‘wordy’, and there were a few other editing issues- which, again, distracted from the storyline.
Instead of feeling immersed in the story, all these issues made it hard to read, hard to connect with, or invest in the characters and/or their story.
As this is the first book in a series, I am really hoping that the author has better luck with her ‘editor’ (etc) for future instalments, as the premise does have a lot of potential.
But looking at some of the other reviews here, I seem to be the only one who had any issue with the book- so you should probably read the story for yourself and make up your own mind about it.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Karli Rush!

The author crafts a story full of action and suspense m, as well as a little romance that keeps you turning the pages—it really has everything. The content is so unique and the characters are likable and the story is told from multiple points of view, which I loved. On her way to visit her sister, Claire ends up in a strange small town, Allenville and isn’t heard from again—her sister Moira goes to find her and things aren’t as they seem. Will the secrets of the town be discovered? What happened to Claire?

Neferet is one of the main characters of the story. She works in a very male-driven industry. Still, the author has Neferet written to be a very strong-willed independent character that as a reader you couldn’t picture her doing anything else. Except for maybe becoming a detective lol. When a business associate of her uncle comes up dead it piques Neferet interest. The only issue is whether Neferet or any of her loved ones could become the next victim. I loved the flow of the story and the storyline. I absolutely recommend that you read the prior books in this series to get the full story. I can’t wait to go back to read the first two books in the series.
