My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tangled Fates (Tangled Magic Book 2) by Denise D. Young. While I know this is book two I did read it first without confusion but I’ll definitely be going back to read book one soon. This was my first read by this author and I loved definitely be back for more. Sometimes I find it hard to really sink into a paranormal type story but I had absolutely no problem with this book, I immediately found myself lost within its pages and not wanting to find my way out. The characters are well developed and easy to connect with, they truly pulled me into their world and I was hooked from start to finish. It’s on the shorter side but it doesn’t hinder the storyline in any way. It’s a well thought out storyline and paced nicely. Can’t wait to see where the author takes readers next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Spouse Trap: Madeline Dawkins Mysteries (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 1) by Cynthia Hamilton. This author isn’t new to me and I find myself draw to anything I can find she’s written. I find it refreshing to see a author who can write different types of stories. This book took me a little bit to sink into but once I did I was completely hooked and couldn’t put it down. The characters are probably where I had a bit of trouble connecting but I’ll be honest I couldn’t think they would be better any other way, sometimes characters are exactly how the story should have them be and it’s by no fault of the author I couldn’t connect with them right away. So while the characters weren’t my favorite they still were exactly what the story called for and the storyline really drew me in and kept me turning the pages. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Four stars and highly recommended.
