Daisy’s Darkness (Wheels & Hogs Book 6) by D.M. Earl – Review by Kerry Baker

March 24, 2021/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Kerry Baker

Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl is the sixth book in the Wheels and Hogs series. This is such an emotional and difficult book but it is one of those books that everyone who help read. The author dives right into tackling such difficult and heart wrenching subjects and yet they are ones that are so prevalent in today’s world. The author has done such a good job of writing this book that you feel everything right alongside Daisy – her pain, her anguish, her isolation. It really does feel like there is just no way forward for her. And yet the author shows how it is possible to turn things around, no matter how hard or impossible it seems to be at first. This is a story that I knew I would enjoy but never quite expected to be drawn into it the way I was.
This book really is one that needs to be read by everyone!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

City of Whispers by Katt Powers is the is the first book in the Imperial Assassin series. This is an action packed book from start to finish and I wasn’t at all sure how it was going to turn out.

The book I thought was well written. It was well paced and a pretty exciting story. It caught my attention easily and I became engaged with what was happening. As this first book I have read by this author it was a great introduction and I am looking forward to reading more.

The Ocean’s Light by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Ocean’s Light by Mina Chara is the first book in the Blood of the Pirate series. This is a well written young adult book that is full of adventure on every page. I loved that the way the author had written the blurb as it felt like I was going in blind to the book. Because of that it was like I was experiencing everything right there along with the characters. This was an exciting and fast paced story that will really appeal to someone of the genre it is written for. The book was so easy to read and was so enjoyable. I am looking forward to seeing what is next in the series.

Hook’s Little Mermaid by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hooks Little Mermaid: Captain Hook crosses paths with an enchanting mermaid, as he seeks revenge against Peter Pan by Suzanna Lynn is the first book in the Untold Stories series. This is a unique retelling of a well known story and the author has done a good job of taking the story and creating something new. The author manages to create a vivid picture of everything going on so it really felt like you were there. It would have been nice to see a little more of the dark Captain Hook that you are use to but it was good to see him in a whole new perspective. This was a front start to a new series and I am looking forward to reading the next.

Granted: Curse of the Emerald Jinn by Rachel Huffmire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Granted: Curse of the Emerald Jinn by Rachel Huffmire is a brilliant YA book that is full of twists and turns the whole way through. I thought this book was an exciting read and I was drawn into it instantly. Part of the reason for this I think is because this is the first time I have read a book of this genre told from a male POV. This was a refreshing change and really made it feel like an overall better story.
I really found the characters engaging and so easy to connect with. The journey was not only exciting to read about but easy to imagine. This was a great book and one that I throughly enjoyed.

Kissing the Kavalier by Annette Nauraine – Review by Kerry Baker

Kissing the Kavalier by Annette Nauraine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kissing the Kavalier by Annette Nauraine is a well written historical romance that completely drew me in. I loved the characters in this book and the romance that builds between them. The way it comes about is so heartwarming and really made me connect with the two of them. You could feel the chemistry from the moment you started reading.
The book felt accurate for the time period it was written in and I liked that it was set in Austria. Most books in this genre I have read are set in England so this was a refreshing change. This is a new author to me and I enjoyed how she approached the book. The writing style had a great flow about it and she did a great job of building up the story and the characters. I really enjoyed this book and I will certainly be looking to read more from her in the future.

The World Beyond the Walls by Jean Gill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The World Beyond The Walls: epic dystopian eco-fantasy by Jean Gill is the third book in the Natural Forces series. This is the final book in the trilogy and was an brilliant end of the series. This book is easily the best one in the series. I fell back into this story and the characters so easily. This book is every bit as exciting and and intriguing as the previous books and I found that pages basically turned themselves. Once I started reading I just couldn’t stop. The author has created a brilliant fantasy world with such a strong group of friends right at the centre. With everything they have been through already I could not wait to see what this book had in store for them. It was well written and engaging and I thoroughly enjoyed every part of this book. I would highly recommend this whole series to any fan of the genre.

The Sun at Twilight by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Sun At Twilight by N.L. Holmes is the fourth book in the Empire at Twilight series. This is another well written and detailed story by an author who really knows how to create a vivid story. I was pulled right into this story simply from the way the author created it. It felt like it was right there with Tudhaliya and could feel his anguish and conflict. I was interested the whole way through as to what he would do. This book is really all about the characters. They are at the absolute heart of it all and really make this book what it is. I would definitely say, even if this is something you wouldn’t normally read, this series is definitely worth it.

The Executive’s Decision (The Keller Family Series Book 1) by Bernadette Marie – Review by Kerry Baker

The Executive’s Decision by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Executive’s Decision by Bernadette Marie is the first book in the Keller Family series. This is a sweet book with relatable characters in it. I think there were certain parts to the book where the story could have used a little more detail – the idea was there but the execution was a little off. However, as the book went on the author clearly found her stride and it felt more cohesive and became much more enjoyable.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and although the story felt a bit predictable I thought the writing was good and well paced. It feels like the story was a great way to set up the start of a new series and introduce characters that we will read about later. This is an overall enjoyable story and I am looking forward to reading more in the series.

Strings Attached by Loriana Cappello
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Strings Attached: A Braebeach Rock Romance by Loriana Cappello is a great second chance, new adult romance. This is a sweet romance with some brilliant characters. I really enjoyed the connection the characters which I think was made stronger by the fact that they had a history. It felt effortless for them to strike up a friendship again.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed the way she came at quite a popular story premise. It felt like it was a new way to go about it instead of the same thing that has been read time and again. The writing had a great flow to it and the story held my interest. This book was a great introduction to this author and I am looking forward to discovering more from her in the future.

Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella by Diana Vale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Professor Valentine: A Student Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella by Diana Vale is the first book in the Kirk University series. This is a pretty quick and easy read that will help pass a relaxing afternoon.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I certainly found it to be enjoyable. I liked the fact that it was an easy read and something that I didn’t have to think too much about. The story was well written and had some pretty steamy scenes. I was quite as taken with the characters like I hoped I would be. I didn’t quite connect with them throughout the book. However that being said it didn’t really take away from my enjoyment and I would be willing to read more from this author in the future. Overall this is an entertaining book worth reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Witness by Meghan O’Flynn is the ninth book in the Ash Park series, I am always so excited to get back to this series as each one always delivers a fantastic story they completely captures my attention. Full credit has to be given to this author as not many people can successfully keep a series going for this number of books and yet Meghan seems to do it with ease.
This book is yet another brilliant addition to such a strong series. I love getting back into the lives of the main characters and seeing what else is going to happen. This book is every bit as action packed and intriguing as the rest in the series. I was pulled out n right from the start and had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. This is the kind of book that you have to read all in one go.
This is one of those series that I just never get bored of and I am already excited as to what might come next.

Best of my Love by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Best Of My Love by N.D. Jackson is a Love in Emerald Creek novel. This is a second chance romance which some fantastic characters right at the heart of the story. For me Dre absolutely carried this story. She was such a strong and forthright person that I couldn’t help but connect with her.

Seconds (Internet Famous Collection) by Cam Johns – Review by Kerry Baker

Seconds by Cam Johns
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seconds by Cam Johns is a brilliant second chance romance with an amazing main character right at its centre. This is the first book that I have read from this author on her own – previous books have been co-written with other authors – and I really loved it. I was pulled in straight away and became absolutely hooked reading about Braxton. Although it is quite a short book the story is jam packed and so engaging. I really wanted to find out if Braxton would find his second chance or if what had happened in his past would prevent that.
I also have to say that this book has one of the most striking covers I have seen in a long time. It caught my eye immediately and I would have one clicked this book off the cover alone. This was a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed and it is one I would highly recommend.

The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald – Review by Kerry Baker

The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald is an action packed and complex story about an undercover operative sent to infiltrate a Jihadi group. They story follows the operative as he carries out his mission and encounters more obstacles along the way than expected. This book definitely has a lot going on in it and it is one that I would say you really need to sit down and read properly so that you can follow what is going on.
The further along the story I got the less sure I became as to how this was all going to turn out. The back and forth that the character goes through while on his journey really has you guessing as to how this all might turn out. I enjoyed the writing style that the author employed to build up the story and found that I really did become invested in what was happening. While this turned out not to be the story I expected it is one that I thoroughly enjoyed.

10 Days by KJ Holliday is a great book with strong, relatable characters. They completely made this book for me and are what had me turning the pages. Everything about them was so easy to imagine. I could vividly picture most of their conversations happening and it really made me feel like I was right there with them. The story itself I found to be quite fun. I expected it to feel a bit rushed given that it was mainly going to happen over 10 days but this was not the case at all. The author really took the time to build the story to make it a great read. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I am looking forward to reading more from them in the future.

Sons of Sindicato by Cam Johns
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sons Of Sindicato by Sonya Jesus and Cam Johns is a dark romance story that is utterly gripping to read. This is a short story that is quick to get through however in no way does that detract from the story. I was pulled in completely by these characters from the moment I started reading. They felt so gritty and real. They really made the whole story for me.
I was familiar with one of these authors but not the other and I was surprised by just how well their writing styles seemed to combine. The story is consistent and comprehensive and it probably one of the best pairings I have read in a while. I really
Hope we see more from the duo in the future.

Guardians of the Garden by Theresa Pocock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Guardians of the Garden by Theresa Pocock is a fantastic reimagining of the story of Eden. It brings in all the elements you are familiar with and puts a unique and interesting twist on them. I liked the fact that at no point did this book feel like it was overly religious, instead it was an author telling a fantastic story that really grabs your attention.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was really impressed with her writing style. It was detailed and imaginative and she created such strong characters. It took no time at all for me to be hooked by the story and I found that I couldn’t put this book down until I had finished it – even if that did mean I was up to the early hours of the morning. I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future.

The Liminal Space by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Liminal Space by T.S. Simons is the second book in the Antipodes series. For me this is a series that really does need to be read in order so you can fully appreciate what is happening.
I found this book to be just as detailed and well thought out as the first book. I really love how it makes you think about what it is trying to do. It really helps to draw you into the story even more. Even after reading this book I’m really not sure what I would do if I had the chance to do things over. It is one of those questions that I don’t think you would truly know the answer to until you had to decide.
This book in detailed and comprehensive and a really great read. I would highly recommend this series!

This is a series that I have enjoyed so far and I am definitely looking forward to what the author has in store for us next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Third Time’s a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen is the third book in the Haunted Ever After series. This is a highly entertaining, fantastically written series the just keeps getting better and better.
I loved the two main characters in this book. I felt like they had such a strong connection right from the word go. This could be because they started as friends or it could just be that they had that instant connection. You could really feel the chemistry between them.
The story was brilliant as always. It is always so exciting to read one of this authors books because it is not only fun and amusing but it has a depth to it that I don’t think you normally get from books like this. I was drawn into this story and could not put the book down until I had finished it. Another amazing book by this incredible author.

The Traveler: Chimera Rising by Shannon Nemechek is the third book in the Book of Eleanor series.

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III – Review by Kerry Baker

February 22, 2021/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Kerry Baker

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goddess of Everything by Paul De Blassie III is an original and intriguing story. It is a well written and detailed book that I found really requires your undivided attention. It is a complex story that really creates a vivid image.
This is a fantasy story of love, family and loyalty and the truth and evil that encompasses this. There is a lot going on in this book so when to read this book you really have to read it – you can’t skim through parts of rush it as you will be sure to miss some detail.
This isn’t the first book that I have read by this author and I have to say I do enjoy his writing style. The level of detail brought to his books is one you don’t often see so, although it takes longer to read, it is refreshing. This was a really good, strong book that, if you are a fan of this genre, should read.
