My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely LOVED this book. It tells the story of Katrina, TJ, and Toby. Kristina is a pregnant artist who moves to this small town. She ends up meeting the “man from her dreams and paintings.” At a furniture store. They have this whirlwind romance that is truely one made for movies. Kristina has her baby Toby, and her mind starts getting foggy. Things just arent making sense. TJ find kristina over in a ditch and finally makes her get help.
This is a story of love, and knowing its okay to get help after having a child if your struggling.

This is the first book I’ve read of this series.
It tells a story of a ballet school in England. Lauren can see ghosts, this is where we met Grace, and Rodney. Lauren’s classmate Alfie is obsessed with ghost hunting. Will he find out about Grace and Rodney?
Will Lauren get the part in the biggest talent show??
It’s a great read as a stand alone or read the whole series.

Love in the Roses (Love Through the Ages Book 1) by TL Clark – Review by Helen Dawkins

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love this historical romance set in 15th century. Anything medieval makes me take a second look, but this is truly an amazing book. The dialogue, the way the author sets the scene, and the vibe of the book is 100% what I would think and what I do know from history, it was like in that time period. If you have any issues with any of the words in the book, there is a glossary at that back that I thought was an excellent addition. The book revolves around an arranged marriage, honour, scarifies that have to be made, and also finding love in the most unexpected way. This is the book for you, if you love historical fiction with romance! I always love T.L. Clark’s books, and I look forward to reading many more!

Murder in the Lightning Room by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Helen Dawkins

Murder in the Lightning RoomMurder in the Lightning Room by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the best book I have read by this author. It does NOT disappoint in any way! I absolutely love how the author centers it around Nikola Tesla and his research, and the historical importance of his competition with Thomas Edison. It adds a bit of tension to the mystery! It starts out hot, and immediately you dive into trying to find out who stole Tesla’s missing papers, research, documents. Very fast paced book, which I love in a mystery. This is definitely in my top 5 of historical fiction books. While I did guess who the culprit was before it was revealed, it was still not a solid guess. But it did not deter me in any way from continuing reading the book.

Princess of Prias by Courtney Davis – Review by Helen Dawkins

Princess of PriasPrincess of Prias by Courtney Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Loved this book! Elle, also known as L, is just like most kids, dreaming of being a prince or princess, and even more so being an orphan dreaming that one day someone will come by and tell you that your parent was royalty and so are you. Now your life changes upside down from the feeling of not belonging to finding out about where you come from. I love the timeline that the author gives us, where it is explanatory or what is going on but not giving to much information. While immediately you know that Elle (L) is going to most likely find out her heritage, the journey the author takes you on is nothing short of mysterious and twists. Locan, the warrior for the Royal Guard, is everything you want in a fantasy, and remind me of the Hulk, that he grows in size where he senses danger, especially if that danger includes the woman he loves, even if he won’t accept it at first.

This is a super fun and light book to read. Great for an in-between series, or getting you out of a book slump, or honestly whenever. I did not put the book down, start to finish. I definitely think we need a second book to give us a little closure on what happened to L, Locan, and everyone else involved.

The Detail by Dana Wayne – Review by Lauren Cox

The DetailThe Detail by Dana Wayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Detail is the perfect amount of suspense and romance, not only does Dana captivate you with this suspenseful thriller she also gives sexual tension. This book is a quick read but definitely a page turner.

Jessica is trying everything she can to track down this killer, with the help of her very attractive partner Seth. Right when they were going to confront their attraction for each other Jessica goes missing as well as Seth’s prisoner “the killer”.

I really liked this mixture of the two book genres coming together, more often than not romance and suspense thriller don’t collide like this and I enjoyed it.

Blood & Vengeance was a very quick, enjoyable read.

In doing so, they find themselves in the cross hairs of an angry witch with one thing on her mind. Capturing this vampire.

Insatiable Darkness (The Vigilant Book 0) by LM Preston – Review by Barbara Bohls

Insatiable Darkness (Vigilant, #0.5)Insatiable Darkness by L.M. Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is in the YA genre and I feel that anyone would appreciate this book if they like supernatural stories. This book is a very quick read and can be finished in a day. The characters in this story have great depth and feel real emotions that any teen would feel in this type of situation. Moving to a new town can cause anyone some anxiety but throw in missing kids and it just hits different emotions. This is also a prequel to the series and I am hoping it will give some more background into the characters as the series continues. I felt a little disconnect with them during this story but not enough to make a huge difference. The mysteries in the book keep you hooked throughout and turning the pages to see what happens. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series to continue to build on these characters and to continue the mysteries. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes a quick read with lots of mystery.

The Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass (Mermaid Science, #3)The Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Maia and Fig are looking for stones to build a tower. Their friend Trezzie, who is a mermaid, gave them a special stone – a stone with a design on it. Trezzie, Maia and Fig build a magnifying glass using water droplets to see what the design is. They find that it is a creature – a trilobite fossil, a creature from long ago. It is amazing what we can find in nature, and how we can use nature to study the world around us.
This a great book addition to any children’s or classroom library.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To be honest I didn’t know what to expect when I began reading this. This book has a target demographic of young teen but let me tell you it is such a cute quick read that I, a grown woman, loved. It has the typical teen drama like gossip, not liking the younger students, and the normal growing pains. This book has an amazing storyline and great characters that everyone can relate to, whether that is a teen or an adult reliving their childhood. The whitty ghost really makes this a page turner. I wanted to know what would happen next. There are great life lessons in this book that I wasn’t expecting. I would highly recommend this book to any one. I would especially recommend it to any teen that is starting to have a love for reading. They will relate to it and feel accomplished since it is an easy read. If they pick up on the life lessons in the book that is just an added benefit.
