Rise of the HunterRise of the Hunter by Barb Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a great story and a brilliant addition to the series. I also enjoyed the fact that it is the start of a new series too. The book is a well written fantasy story that was so easy to engage with. I was pulled in to the story straight away and loved how the author built the story up.
I enjoyed the combination of old and new characters. They all added some thing to the overall story and made the book much better to read. Although I have only read a few books by this author I have enjoyed them all and I am looking forward to more.

The Hussar's Duty (The Winged Warrior #3)The Hussar’s Duty by Griffin Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the series and is a great addition overall. This book can be read as a standalone but is one I would suggest is worth reading in order. This book is detailed and such an interesting one to read. I like how varied the story and the characters felt. The characters really brought this book to life. They added a dynamic to the book that made it even more enjoyable.
This author is a very new author to me but I am really enjoying their writing style. It has a good, easy to read tone to it and I always connect with the story being told. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I can wait to read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the sixth one in the series and is just as good and as endearing as the others. I seemed to connect with this book much more than the others, the characters and the story. I loved the connection between the characters. It seemed so natural and real.
The story the author has created is fun and lighthearted. It is the perfect feel for this kind of book. I easily engaged with this story and wanted to see how things would play out. I always really enjoy books by this author and this one is one of my favourites.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The characters, and their chemistry, is everything about this book for me. I loved how interconnected they were and just how strong their bond is. Even after so many years it was obviously still there.
I thought the story was really well written. Usually, this type of book is fairly predictable but with this specific one I found myself unsure as to how things would play out a few times. I enjoyed getting lost in the story and the characters and I am looking forward to the next book from this author.

Bound by the HinterlandsBound by the Hinterlands by Bree M. Lewandowski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book has to be one of the better developed books that I have read this year. From the moment I started reading to the moment I finished, I was fully taken on the journey the author wants you to go on. The characters are well thought out and it was lovely to see the connection build between them over time, rather than have it all instantly fall into place.
The story was a really interesting one as well. It could have gone a number of ways at anytime and yet the author never seemed to lose control of it. I was fully invested in it and the characters, especially Cressida. I fully enjoyed reading this story and cannot wait to see what is next from this author.

When i started reading this book I did so based on word of mouth. I didn’t read the description or look at any reviews, I just started reading. So to say I was surprised by the story is an understatement. This book is emotional and heart wrenching. It is so easy to n imagine this group of boys and everything they have experienced. It felt b like this book had me b on the edge of my seat the whole way through. It was fanatically written and simply captivating. I loved this book and would highly recommend it to anyone.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is a great forbidden romance book. Ad the third book in the series it can be read as a standalone however I think it is worth reading all of the books in the series. The characters in this book are great. They clearly have a strong connection from the start, but with so much to overcome you have to question if it will be enough. They v are v easy to engage with and I enjoyed getting to know them.
The overall story of this book was great. I wanted to see how everything would work out.  This book had left me excited to read the next book in the series.

This is yet another fun and entertaining book that the whole family can really enjoy together. Our entire household has become such a huge fan of this author and we are yet to come across a book we don’t enjoy. I loved this one so much. I loved how it teaches kids to use their imagination. My daughter really enjoyed this book too. This is the first book by this author that she has tried to read herself, and not just listen to me read it for her. These books are great for those who are learning to read as they are short and punchy stories. I am already looking forward to the next book and having it read to me!

This is such a fun cozy mystery story that is pure entertainment from start to finish. I thought the story had been so well put together. It was intriguing and kept you turning the pages and yet maintained a lighthearted feel to it throughout.
I thought the characters were such fun and contributed to the lighthearted feel. I enjoyed getting to know them and watching them develop as the story did. This book is a great combination of fun and mystery and I would definitely recommend it.

This is a fantastic follow up to the first book in the series and I couldn’t wait to start reading it. I loved delving into this continuation of the story and refamiliarizing myself with the characters. I would definitely suggest reading these books in order. As with the first, this book is well written, creative and utterly engaging. It took no effort for me to connect with this world again. I thought the story followed on so well, it really didn’t feel like anytime between reading the first book and the second.
The characters in this book feel like they have been carefully selected to create an imaginative story. They weave so well together and are all interesting to read about. I enjoyed every part of reading about them. This book is fantastic and well written. I cannot wait for more.

This author certainly knows how to write a book that will grab your attention. This book is fact paced and edgy. It is the kind of book you have to read quickly because you n want to see how it will turn out. I loved the characters and the dynamic between them all. Each really added something to the story. Although i only discovered this author recently, I have really come to enjoy her work. This is a great book that is worth the read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a brilliant adaption of the 3 Little Pigs story. This author is already a favourite in our house but I think this book has to be the best by far. Or at least in my opinion. I thought it was so clever and well done. And I loved how much fun my kids found in it. This is a story that we are familiar with already and this take was so much fun to read.
This is one that we have all engaged with and the entertainment it has brought us has been endless. This is the first book by this author that I keep requesting we read, although I hear no arguments when I do. This author really does know how to create an amazing story that gets the whole family involved.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the third in the series but can be read as a standalone. This book is the very definition of hot and spicy. The chemistry between the characters was palpable from the moment they first met. You could feel it on every page and only seemed to grow stronger. I was pulled into their story and couldn’t stop reading.
The author has created a great story with characters that seem to fill the pages. It is just as good as the others in the series and I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I would definitely recommend this, and the series as a whole, to anyone.

What Do the Plants Say? (Alex, the Inventor)What Do the Plants Say? by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is another great book by a firm favourite author. Both of my kids are always so excited when we get a new book by her. This book was fun and very entertaining, although not one of the best we have read. This book felt a little more flat compared to the others we have read recently, but that could be just because they were so good. Either way, we still got great enjoyment out of this book. It was engaging and the kids loved to look at the pictures and see what was going on. As usual, we read this book multiple times and I am sure we will read it many times more.

This book is the second in the series, and a great continuation of the story. It was an easy book to engage with and I found myself picking up the story with no effort, as though I had read it straight after the first. I was excited to see where the author would take the story next.
I thought the characters were all interesting. They each had a part to play I loved how every one developed. The author has a detailed way of writing. It was easy to visualise what was being described and, for me, that made the book more interesting to read. I thought this was a thoroughly enjoyable book and I am looking forward to the next one.

After reading the other books in the series I could not wait to start reading this one. And I have to say this book is just a good as the others. I was pulled into the story straight away and could not put it down. This book is one of those I had to read in one sitting because I was so drawn into it.
I loved these characters just as much as the others. This author really knows how to write captivating characters that completely take over. The book was fast paced, exciting and written so well that I was never sure about how it would all turn out. I was engrossed from the moment I started reading and I would advise everyone to read this book immediately.

This type of book isn’t usually my favourite, but I had read the others in the series so I knew I had to add this one on. I am so glad I did. It was well written and I really enjoyed the characters, which very much surprised me. I thought the connection was easy to engage with and very relatable.
This book fits in perfectly with the rest of the series. It is dark, intense and a great story to read. It wasn’t hard to get into the story and it was lovely to read about familiar characters again. This author is still a relatively new one to me and I think I am very much going to enjoy reading more of her work.

We never go too long in this house without reading a book by this author and I think this book has got to be one of the most entertaining we have read so far. We all loved the unique take on the typical Jack and the Beanstalk story, especially my daughter who had just done this book at school.
As expected from this author, the book was engaging, fun, had great characters and yet was educational as well. I have lost count of the number of times we have read this book and I am excited to read it again. This author is a master at children’s books and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

It has been a while since I read a book from this author and as soon as I picked this book up I couldn’t understand why I had waited so long. This book is everything I have come to expect from this author – a fantastic story, brilliant and engaging characters and chemistry on almost every page. It took no time at all for me to connect with this story and before I knew it I was finishing the book in one sitting.
These characters were made for each other. They have such a deep connection and I loved to see it develop throughout the book. I was behind them the whole way and couldn’t wait to see how things would work out between them. This author really does know how to create fantastic characters. This is a fantastic book and I would highly recommend it.

Although this book is the 5th in the series it can easily be read as a standalone story. This is a second chance romance that is fast paced and quite exciting. This is the kind of story I really like and I have to say I loved the part the band had to play within this.
Initially, I didn’t fully connect with the characters. However, as the story went on I found myself warming to them much more. I enjoyed watching their development throughout the book and by the end I was fully engaged with them. This was a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a quick to read YA story that is engaging and entertaining. Cecily was a great character to read about and I thought she was really relatable, despite being a YA character. I think the author has done a great job of portraying the angst and drama of a young adult. It is exactly like the feeling I remember when I was of that age.
The story itself was well written. It is an easy read and perfect for an afternoon of reading. I enjoyed the fact we could see more of this characters development. I hope we get to see more installations of her journey still.

This story really hit home as I could not help but to compare it to when I travel with my children. The whole situation is unthinkable and yet the author does an amazing job at navigating the differing emotions. This was a gripping and well written story and I would highly recommend it.
