My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is amazing! I could not wait to start reading this after finishing the last and it did not disappoint. I had to know what was going to happen with this story. These characters are some of the best I have reads this year. They have such a strong connection and yet so much seems to stand in their way. I could not wait to see what the author had in store for them.
I always really enjoy this author and these books have been some of my favourite. I have immensely enjoyed this series so far and cannot wait to see what is next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a brilliant series and this book is a great addition to it. I really enjoy reading about these characters and the fantastic journey they have been on. Each time I pick up a new book I can’t decide where I think they might end up or which way the story might go. I simply let myself be taken on the ride.
This book I think has to be my favourite so far. The author has done such an amazing job at developing both the story and the characters. The book is well written and thoroughly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this book and series.

This story was so immensely easy to connect with and I loved reading every second of it. The author really managed to capture what mothers go through, the feelings and emotions that that overwhelm them on a daily basis. I engaged with the story and the main character and found the whole book to be fantastic.
This is a completely new author to me and I went into this blind. I didn’t know what to expect going in and I loved what I got. I am already looking forward to seeing what else this author has to offer.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first story I have read where the character is referred to as “they” and it made for a unique reading experience. I like that this is a topic the author has chosen to tackle, although a times it did feel a little clumsy. The overall story was well written though and easy to get into. I enjoyed reading about the characters too. They all seemed to add so much to the story and fitted well with each other.
This is a pretty new author to me and I think her work shows promise. I think the more of her work that I read the more I will enjoy. I am looking forward to discovering more from her.

Whenever I write a review for this author I feel like I am becoming a broken record because they are always so good. We always sit down to read these books as a family and each and everyone of us enjoys them. The stories are always so well thought out and engaging. They appeal to all ages and help children to think about topics they might usually. But the author makes sure they are fun and light-hearted, the perfect story for young children. This book was just as good as all the others and we have read it multiple times. I am sure we will read it many more before the next one as well.

This is the second book in the series and I would highly recommend reading them in order. This was a great follow up to the first book and it took no time to re-connect with Jace and Cyrus. They were just as strong characters in this book as the first and I loved watching their development progress even further as the story went on.
The story was a great follow on. It was more emotional than I expected it would be but I think that added to it. I really enjoyed reading this story and I am looking forward to seeing what else this author has in store.

They had so much chemistry between them and they fit together so well. they were entertaining to read about and I thought they made the whole book so engaging.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third and final book in this trilogy and it is just as good as the previous books. The journey these characters go on is such a moving one. I liked the fact that we got to see the struggles there were going through after their marriage. You don’t always get the “behind the curtain” look into characters I think it added to this story.
I think this whole trilogy has been really well written. They have been captivating books, emotional and have some amazing characters in them. I have fully enjoyed each and every book and I am looking forward to reading more of this authors work. I would definitely recommend this trilogy as well.

The overall pace of the book is well done. The author knows how to move the story along and keep you invested in what is happening. I wanted to find out how these characters would make it work and I wanted to know more about them. This was an enjoyable book that I would recommend.

This series is fantastic and this is another great book to add to the collection. I always find it so easy to reconnect with these characters and pick back up with their story. I like that they are keeping my interest even though we are eight books into the series.
This particular story is fast paced with a lot going on. Juggling three cases at once would be challenging for most and yet the story, characters and author handled it with ease. I didn’t get confused by any of them and could follow along which each case. I looked forward to the resolution of them all. I have enjoyed this latest addition and will be looking forward to more.

This is a highly entertaining story with one of my favourite main characters of all time. She is an absolute breath of fresh air because she is so real and relatable. I loved that she isn’t the typical heroine you get in a book but I think that just made the story so much better. The storyline of the book was great. It was perfectly written and really fit with Gwen’s character.
This is still a pretty new author to me but this book is definitely one to make sure they are added to my one click list. I cannot wait to read more of this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great story about a 12-year old boy and a world with people who have superpowers. Although this book is clearly aimed at the pre-teens it is the kind of book that really appeals to all ages. Even as an adult, I had no issues connecting with the story and the characters. I thought the book had been well written and was designed to grab your attention immediately.
I think Noah is the sort of character that touches on feelings most people have had at some point. He is relatable and endearing. He is what drew me into the story the most and is the reason I wanted to keep reading. This was a brilliant book that I thoroughly enjoyed and I would definitely recommend it.

This book is another fantastic addition to this series, full of plot twists at every turn.

This is such a lovely and heart warming story by an author that our entire household always enjoys. This story is all about inclusion and sticking together, something that kids really would benefit from knowing more about as they grow up. It was really nice to see my daughter understand the subject matter and engage with it so naturally. It was perfect to teach her the morale of the story. As usually, we have already read this book multiple times and I am sure we will be reading it many more.

This book is a great enemies to lovers romance, with characters that have amazing chemistry. I really connected with them and loved watching how things developed between them. I also really enjoyed the fact that the main character was a little bit older than you usually find in books of this type. Most stories like this seem to focus on young women so it was nice to show how life doesn’t stop just because you reach a certain age.
I thought the book was really well written. The author pulls you into the story and I was really interested in how things would work out. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book.

Insomnia (A Short Stories Collection)Insomnia by Kelly Covic
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book completely took me by surprise with just how much I enjoyed it. I had read a few books “like” this lately, finding the shorter stories great as time fillers. I picked up this book thinking that I would be the same – easy to pick up and easy to put down. This was a mistake. As soon as I started reading this book I could not put it down until I had read all of the stores inside – sleep be damned! I thought this was a unique and interesting collection and I loved it as soon as I started reading. It was so well written and absolutely captivating. This is a new author to me and, as her debut collection, a great way to show everyone what you are capable of. I cannot wait to see what she will produce next.
