Avenging Devil Part 1 (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #3) by Manda Mellett – Review by Angelina Frazzini

Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan's Devils MC San DiegoAvenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Avenging Devil Part 1 by Manda Mellett is book three of Satan’s Devils MC San Diego. To get the full experience, the books should be read in order but this book can be read without books one and two. This book does end on a cliffhanger but totally worth it!

Saffie strength knows no bounds. Even when it seems like she’s broken beyond repair, she keeps going. Niran feel an indescribable pull to protect her. They forge a friendship even though Saffie is rightfully wary of people. Saffie finding out Niran is part of the MC scares her but she soon realizes that she’d much rather face her past with Niran by her side. Saffie thinks she may finally be in a good place in life but the twists keep coming.

I this this book may have been my favorite out of all the Satan’s devils books. The subject matter was difficult but the book was so well written. Saffie is so strong and Niran is such a good guy! I can’t wait for the next book!

Avenging Devils Part 1 by Manda Mellett a sublime five-star read. This is the third story in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series, and there is a part two coming very soon I hope, as I can understand why the author had to split this story, there is no way you could fit it all in, it’s a very deep and dark story and I have loved everything by this author and I loved this, but it did take me longer than normal to read as I had to breathe so many times. I was broken on behalf of Saffie, no one should have so many knocks, but my goodness does it make a sublime story. This is intense and so well done, you won’t love everyone but that just makes this story so much deeper, bring on part two!!

Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster (Frat house confessions) by Danielle Jacks – Review by Sara Oxton

Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster (Frat House Confessions #6)Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster by Danielle Jacks a fantastic five-star read. This is number six in the Frat House confessions series, but they can all be read as stand-alone, but I do plan on checking some of the other authors out to see how they take their spin. Setter is so much more than you first think, he is adorable, in his own little way. Normally he would be someone I wouldn’t like much on the surface, but the more you get to know him the easier he gets. Casey I understood from the off, and I just adored her every moment, felling her sadness and crossing everything for her in my own crazy way. Do not miss this funny, sweet and so much more story.

Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan's Devils MC San DiegoAvenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Avenging Devil is part one in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series by the endlessly talented Manda Mellett. Her characters and stories constantly captivate and impress the reader. This one ends in a cliff hanger, so be prepared to be kept in suspense and in anticipation of part two.

Niran meets Saffie while performing an important duty. He felt various mixed emotions, some good, some not, but he could not leave her be. He became her saviour. Saffie had discovered her knight. Until she learnt about the real Niran. Her past was horrific, and it would take a man of relentless strength and stamina to be able to help her overcome her demons. Niran was that man. Their dance was monumental. The intensity between them immeasurable. The passion scorching. The tension combustible. The yearning supreme. Their hunger for each other was insatiable. The story was fraught with terror, but Niran valiantly took up the challenge. What more is in store for this couple? We are left craving the next part of their story. I was blown away by part one. Part two is going to totally wreck me. Blissfully so. 5 stars

Competing with the Star (Star Series Book 2) by Krysten Lindsay Hager – Review by Sara Oxton

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Competing with the Star by Krysten Lindsay Hagar a fab four-star read. This is number two in the Star series and its best to read them in order as they do follow on the story and build the characters. This will have you harking back to being a teenager if you aren’t one reading this story, if you are a teenager, it will be like reading your diary. Hadley will pull you as she faces her struggles, and they are struggles we all face at some point in life, it just so happens that Hadley’s seem to be happening just as she was getting it all together. I enjoyed this story, but it didn’t pull me like the first, it could be me as I am so crazy right now, so I am eagerly awaiting number three to see what will be happening next.

Lance Cosain knows he is a halfling, half-human half-fae is the leader of The Wild Hunt Motorcycle Club . Not knowing his origin , he clashes with few of the bad characters and also learn about his past. The book is quite engrossing and is filled with funny and cunning characters, and the illustrations add more to the charm. It is a very engaging book and is fully action packed.

Shield & Shade (Ascended Guardians Book 1) by Misty Hayes – Review by Sarah Hammel

Shield & ShadeShield & Shade by Misty Hayes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vampires, angels, demons, we are all familiar with them and probably have come to expect certain things from those topics and types of characters, but Misty Hayes really made their own original spin on it. If you come into it expecting it to go a certain way you might end up being disappointed, but I greatly enjoyed the different take on the mythology of the creatures. At times it was hard to follow because of some of the changes but once you get used to the differences it is fun and exciting. There is a lot of dark material in the story so it is not a light read, it might trigger some hard feelings, but it is worth it at least in my opinion. I read it as an ebook but it definitely felt like a big thick book that you could lose yourself in if you had the time to sit and really dive into it. Recommended for anyone that is a fan of the vampire legend but wants something new about them to taste.

Shield & Shade (Ascended Guardians Book 1) by Misty Hayes – Review by Krista Vaughan

This action-packed fantasy made it almost impossible to put down! Zoey starts out with a almost crippling fear of the dark and no memories of why. Her family is loud, boisterous and overprotective. They are also telling lies and withholding truths. When the truth of the world she lives in starts to come to the surface everything is terrifying and tragic. Zoey needs to be brave and to fight for her life and the lives of her family. Zoey’s character grows from a naive little girl to a brave little warrior. Sometimes the truth is scary, but the fight is worth it. A must read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is very…….unique. A plaque devastated most of the population but there is Jeremy, a 17 year old boy whom is pregnant. This story grasps you to believe there is truly miracles that can happen. The different points of views between Jeremy, Leslie, and Ruth really captivating. The very small town really believed this “miracle” would truly be the hope they are looking for. One of my true favorite lines in the book was “I don’t know if things are going to get better or worse from here, but no matter what comes, remember that God is with you.” I think this would stick with me for sure especially in real life.

Shield and Shade had me hooked from the beginning, I could not put it down! Misty Hayes did an incredible job, bringing this characters to life in every way. I truly fell in love with Zoey, Corinth, and Cruz. There were some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and it had me going back over to make sure I read it right! This book was hands down one of the very best that I have read this year. I did not know this was a spin off series but I will definitely be checking into the Blood Dagger trilogy, after reading this I have no doubt in mind it won’t be amazing.

House in the Woods by Jessica Aiken-Hall – Review by Liz Vrchota

House in the WoodsHouse in the Woods by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I swear Jessica Aiken Hall just gets better and better with every book, and I swear that has to be a harder and harder feat to do each time. Her books are one heck of a ride every time. They are massively full of twists and turns with thought provoking mysteries that will make you lay awake at night wondering if you have the whole story straight in your head only to read the next day and find out you in fact did not. That is by far the best kind of dark and twisty thriller novel that you want to read. House in the Woods is her latest and does not deviate from this norm. It is her best to date in my opinion and I will be re-reading here very soon just because I am sure I missed something and will once again enjoy the crazy ride it will take me on. I found this one to me more emotive than some of her other thriller novels and it really tugged at the heartstrings at times. I enjoyed that layer and it made it more personable to me. I can’t say enough good things about this book and wish I could rate it more than five stars. I feel like it would make a wonderful mini-series for television too! I can’t wait to see what else we will get from the mind of Ms. Jessica Aiken-Hall!

This book was quite an interesting read. I will say you have to go into it with an open mind. I have read a lot of Greta Cribbs before so I wasn’t worried because I have previously enjoyed her other works. I must say this book will make you bend your mind a little bit and think outside the box as you read. I happen to think this is quite the accomplishment for an author to do and is a great thing. I thought about this book long after I finished it and what I might want to say in this review and I am not going to bore you with details that are already said in the blurb or other reviews but rather I will tell you this is one that you will want to read if you like books that will make you think. Books that make you wonder how you live your own life and how you question your own reality and the way you make your choices. I think that this is the perfect book for you to pick up then. I am looking forward to seeing what else we may get in the near future from Ms. Cribbs.

OMG! First of all, I must preface this by saying that I am a sucker for reverse harem novels, so I may be biased but this book rocked! However, Hazel Storm really did a great job writing this novel in a classy way. Some reverse harem novels can be a bit much even for me. So bonus points for sure. I really loved the concept as well and really enjoyed all the characters and the time that went into building them. I was invested in them right away and I cannot wait to come back and read about them more in the coming books. I hope we will get more of them soon! This one really set us up on the men and Vanessa, it’s told from several points of view and is well layered so that there is no confusion at all. I definitely have favorites so far but I am keeping them reserved until I have more novels and stories to make my final choices lol. This is one you don’t want to miss if you love reverse harems and romances with heat!

This was my first time reading Samantha Adair and The Tom Grant Series so I knew I was probably going to be doing myself dirty a bit with jumping into a series midway through but I was intrigued and wanted to see what this was all about. I am glad that I did and look forward to seeing what the rest of the series now has in store for me. I really enjoyed the action and adventure that kept me on the edge of my seat while I picked apart the thriller and suspense mystery that was at the base of it all as I read. I was lost at times but I expected that and knew I would be doing it to myself and now know that I have a few new books to go back and enjoy. I also look forward to seeing what else we will be getting in this series in the near future. I really loved how loud the voice of the lead female character was in this novel. I feel like we could use more of these kind of women and just wanted to give a shout out to the author for that one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

THIS WAS A FREAKIN’ AWESOME ADVENTURE! The main Character Zoey is definitely on a roller coaster of dark twists and turns, angelic loops, and devilish corkscrews, and a story wouldn’t be complete without a boy dilemma in Fort Worth, Texas! (Not Cowboys, oil companies, and horses anywhere in sight!) Zoey and her group face when an infernal demon decides on revenge and destruction of humanity as they know it! Ms. Hayes has written an extreme action-packed adventure, where the reader can view the action from ALL her characters, and I have never seen the action scenes with this detail and raw emotion on every page. The love the characters show for family and close friends is undeniable, and even though the characters are tested and brutally challenged, however, family and love is the strongest bond of all is what I read through this book. Join Zoey Taylor and others on this roller coaster adventure for a one-of-a-kind experience!

Deliciously Sinful Liaisons AUDIO BOOK by L.M. Mountford – Review by Ashleyann Sanabria

Holy spice! If you are a lover spice to make you melt, this book is for you! Very descriptive, painting a thoroughly vivid picture in your mind the entire time. It is a collection of very short, very steamy stories, that honestly are a bit of tease! It reads like a collection of story samples more than a cohesive book. Enough to keep you invested for each story but stops just after it gets good. Would want to have each of these stories be a lot longer. The plot is really very interesting for some, and others really did not have too much substance outside the spice.

Broken – Interesting background story It seems there is much mystery to be explored and I would have loved to have this be a much longer book. So much more to be explored with the characters.

Just Once – I love a good “friends to lovers” trope, and this seemed to be the beginnings of that. Definitely interested in where the story goes from there.

Valentine Misadventures – The beginning of this story was action-packed. The spicy scene seemed a bit out of place, but interesting just the same.

Together in Sydney – This story was quite cute involving long lost friends reconnecting. I would have loved to hear more.

Training Tracey – This I think was my least favorite, but that just may not fit with my personal taste. There is a little bit of a maternal aspect in the spice, which I think was the culprit of my cringe. That being said, I am sure there are people who would love this story, so don’t discount it without giving it a try!

Blood Lust – I think this was my favorite one! I am a sucker for a paranormal romance, so not surprising that this one stuck out to me the best.

Sweet Temptations – This was likely the most satisfying, mainly because there is a sneak peak of the continuation of the story, so it felt just a bit more complete. Many characters, many potential trysts, and so many different directions this one can go from here.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So LA Detwiler is a new author to me but I can assure you this will not be my last experience reading anything by the talented Ms. Detwiler again! When I saw the book cover for The Arsonist’s Handbook I was sold, but that blurb drew me in even more and it quickly soared to the top of my TBR list. I immediately dove right in and was hooked in so fast I read this book in one sitting well into the evening and found myself wrapping this up at four am.. Oops lol, NOT SORRY! I had to know how this book would end, I could not sleep until I did, it was that gripping. It beyond lived up to its name of a ‘gripping psychological thriller’ and I even found that it haunted my dreams and thoughts the next day. I won’t be giving you the details of the characters and story because really that would ruin it and you need to dive in and learn those for yourself, but this is one that you do not want to miss if you love dark and twisty books with a a crime thriller background storyline. I will be going to see what else is available and stalking the new releases of Detwiler to come now. I hope we get more of the same kind soon! Such a fab more than five star read!

This was quite the interesting read and escape from my typical normal pick up. I like books that make me think regardless of the storyline or ideas behind them and that is normally what will draw me to them, so that is was drew me into Travels Through Aqua, Green, and Blue: A Memoir by Mary E. Gregory. This is written very much like a journal or diary and gives us a glimpse into the mind of Mary E Gregory and her struggles as she traverses life and travel. I loved the way she kept things raw and real and didn’t attempt to sugarcoat anything. I was invested from the very beginning and was never really bored with the story, which is always a concern when you pick up a memoir. I would be highly interested in seeing what else we may get in the future from Ms. Gregory.

Amy McKinley has done it again! If you ever want to get lost in a book, Amy is the author for you. From the first chapter of Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Book 3) I was hooked and did not want to put it down. Tyler and Malina are strong and complex characters that you instantly love and feel for. Of all three Deadly Isles Special Ops books, this one tugged at my heart the most. It was equally as packed with thrills and romance as the others. With this series, any of the books can be read alone which is enjoyable. It is definitely worth it to read them all though, you get a better sense of the characters and it builds more of a relationship to them. Either way, you can’t go wrong!

Grumbler's Ride (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #2)Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have said it before and I will say it again to anyone who will listen…Manda Mellett never ever disappoints!! It’s just that simple! Most readers probably see an MC novel and think they know what to expect but I say throw those ideas out right now and read every Satan’s Devils book you can lay your hands on. I am now so fully invested in every single character that I just have to keep reading this series because I have to know where life is taking all these wonderful characters even if my heart gets broken along the way.

Grumbler’s Ride is another fantastic book filled with drama, heart and emotion. Once again the main characters, Grumbler, the Sargent of Arms of the San Diego Chapter of the Satan’s Devils and Mary, a widow and single mum doing the best she can raising a somewhat rebellious teenage daughter, are older characters. I absolutely love that Ms Mellett does not simply focus on the younger members of the MC.

In Grumbler’s Ride we see Grumbler a very set in his ways, I guess you would say, biker who only ever saw his Harley as being the lady love of his life, slowly realise there just might be more to life after all. He comes to the aide of Mary and her daughter after realising they had all be taken advantage of by a photographer and his phoney promises. While looking into the photographer Grumbler soon realises this guy his so much more dangerous then he first thought and he will need his club brothers to help him bring the guy down and to protect Mary and her daughter who are both starting to worm their way into his heart. Along the way Mary is also losing her heart but needs to decide if the MC way of life is for her.

This gorgeous couple bring us some unexpected Story twists that’s for sure! I promise it will keep you captivated from start to finish but most of all the heart of the characters will draw you in! I love my MC family…yes they are mine now…and I can’t wait to read more.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was not sure what to expect going into this book but it was a very interesting read. It is a dark focus, filled with a lot of family dysfunction, but held a lot of questions. I related to most of the characters – as a teen with one parent who was never there, as a parent who would do whatever I had to if it kept my kids safe, and as a working parent who always seems to be tired. I do not identify with the arsonist, however (which is a good thing – you can stop dialing the police now). I enjoyed the twists and turns throughout the story and I like how all characters have a flaw, but are trying to make it through life. Some portions I had figured out about midway through the book, but most I did not…until the end. Overall, it was a great piece of work – very well thought out!

Forged by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #3)Forged by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start off by saying that I elected to read this series, and specifically this installment in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series, due to the namesakes within. My daughter’s name, believe it or not, is Malina. The fact that this author and I share the name Amy, as well as seeing her name being that of the female lead in this book made it even more tempting. Once I started, I couldn’t stop. Not only was I enthralled by the story line and the depths in which it took me, but I was once again blown out of the water by the character building, the back stories for both Malina, and Tyler, and the involvement of the other two Hale brothers that I had come to love from reading the previous two books. This Author is one to watch, and I wish I had all the time in the world to immerse myself in the adventures of a lifetime that are brought on by Amy McKinley’s magic. I do believe that Forged by Secrets is my favorite book in the series, as the twists and turns keep coming, and kept me on my toes. I was covered in goosebumps from head to toe from the first, to the last page. I highly suggest carving out a weekend for this beauty, and you won’t be disappointed. Keep them coming, please!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a new author to me, and I came across the book in a search and the description pulled me in so I thought I’d give it a go. Best decision ever, this book took me on such a rollercoaster ride of emotions I lost several hours of sleep because I just had to finish.
We start off meeting Tom who seems like your average joe until Isabella comes back from a London trip without letting anyone know. They seem to fit right back together in the relationship they had before she left for London after dealing with the passing of her father. Which is where she made a promise that may just cost her more than she is willing to give.
Isabella and Tom head back to Isabella’s homeland where something isn’t quite right. Mysterious circumstances bring her once childhood friend back into her life, but he is not the same boy she knew before. He makes her go back into a life she was over that she refused to ever do again with the threat of violence against Tom.
Will they both make it out of the motherland alive and unscathed? You just have to read this page turner to find out, but it is worth the read!

Manda Mellett never ever disappoints!! It’s just that simple! If you think you know what to expect from a MC novel throw those ideas out right now and read every Satan’s Devils book you can find. You will be fully invested in every single character from start to finish. My heart went on such a rollercoaster ride!

Being Lost is a fantastic book filled with drama, heart and emotion. I loved that the main characters, Lost, the club president of the San Diego Chapter of the Satan’s Devils and Patsy, the mum of an Old Lady from another chapter, were older than you really see in a lot of novels. Finding love in most books is left to the young it seems but not this time and I love that.

Lost is asked to look out for Patsy and her son by the Pres from the Tucson chapter (the mother chapter of the Satan’s Devils) and when her situation takes a dangerous turn Lost takes her protection on and in doing so falls and falls hard, even while fighting his own personal demons and wondering if he is truly worthy. His vulnerability spoke volumes to me as most readers would automatically assume him to be a very strong and maybe hard character simply because he is a club president.

Story twists and turns will keep you captivated but most of all the heart of the characters will draw you in!

Next Door to a Star written by Krysten Lindsay Hager is a story of the coming of age in high school. It is a perfect tale of every unpopular girl’s desire to be seen. In fact, this could be my story. It is wonderfully written and was by far one of the best young adult books that I have read.

It was the summer after freshman year, and Hadley’s life was about to change. Lexi was moving to Texas with her family. Since she had no other friends, after an invitation, Hadley decides to spend the summer in Grand Haven with her grandparents.

Next door to her grandparents lived Simone Hendrickson. Simone is a former actress from Hadley’s favorite show, Duncan’s Corner. Hadley has no intention of becoming Simone’s friend. She does want to see if she can make friends though.

Will Hadley make friends in Grand Haven? Will Simone welcome Hadley into her world? How will sophomore year be for Hadley? To find out, read this amazing book!

This is Samantha Adair’s third book in the Tom Grant series. Motherland is the first book I have read from this author. From page one, I was laughing out loud and reading scenes to my bestie as she wanted to know what was so funny. I love Isabella, her love to her deceased father, and keeping her promise no matter what it costs her. Five days, in and out of Russia, sounds easy enough. Tom refuses to let Isabella go alone. The danger starts as soon as they get to the border. Isabella has a price on her head and her childhood friend is determined to drag her back into her old life, using Tom as leverage. This book kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole ride. I am going to have to go back to book one and catch up on what I missed.
Am glad I found this new author!! Really enjoyed this read.
