Stage Mom (Romance in Rehoboth #6)Stage Mom by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stage Mom: A Single Mom Romantic Comedy by K.L. Montgomery is the sixth book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. These books can all be read as standalone although I think you should definitely read them all as they are that good!
I loved Larissa! She is everything I want to be in a mum – she is strong and willing to fight tooth and nail for her daughter. And yet I found that she has such a sweet side to her. She had been through so much and yet was able to find a way past all of that to see new possibilities.
It worked well between her and Mateo – they complimented each other perfectly. Their story was entertaining and very amusing! The author has such a great writing style and always knows the right pace needed for her characters.
This is a brilliant series and one I have really enjoyed. I would highly recommend reading it!

Phoenix Team One: Selected (Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team Book 1)Phoenix Team One: Selected by Claire Luana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phoenix Team One: Selected by Claire Luana is the first book in the Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team series. This is an exciting new series from an author that knows how to create fantastic stories.
I knew this book was going to be a good one when I was intrigued from the moment I read the description. Add that to the fact it is written by Claire Luana – who in my opinion knows how to write amazing books – then it was one of those I just had to read immediately. Right from the word go I knew I wasn’t going to be disappointed.
This is such a strong start to what I am hoping will be yet another amazing series. The author has created a whole host of brilliant characters. They are varied, unusual and interesting to read about. The story itself is also well developed. It draws you in so easily and before you know it you are utterly hooked. It is fast paced and action packed. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. I am very excited to see what is next in line for this series.

Arrows Tipped With Honey by Jean Gill is the second book in the Natural Forces series. This series does need to be read in order as it is a continuation of the story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bargaining by Mina Chara is the third book in the Hero High series. This is a series that does need to be read in order as it follows the same characters and their journey.
I was so excited to get my hands on this book. I had enjoyed the first two books in the series and I was looking forward to seeing how this one would go. I loved that it was so easy to skip straight back into these characters, almost like I had never been away from them.
As with the previous two books the story was exciting and fast paced. The author has done such a great job of developing it over the course of the series.
As a relatively new author to me Mina Chara is one I have enjoyed discovering. I am looking forward to seeing what other work she has!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every Last Psycho: A Collection of Twi Novella’s by Zarina Macha are two stories with compelling characters and complex subject matters. Each one is completely different from the other but has the same deep feeling about them.
These books have to be some of the best young adult books I have read recently. This author has a great way of creating characters that are intriguing with a storyline to match them. I really connect with each of these girls but for entirely different reasons.
Both novellas are well written and really made me think about the subject involved.
This is a great collection and I would definitely recommend it for fans of this genre!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm is an intricate and in depth story of 2 brothers and the secrets they keep for a lifetime. I found this book to be unexpectedly emotional and completely captivating. Once I had started this book I simply couldn’t put it down. I devoured it all in one sitting and just wished it could have been even longer.
I have never read anything by this author before and after reading this book I cannot understand why. Her writing was so good it completely grabbed my attention. The story was well written and woven together so well that I found myself entirely immersed in the book. I was at the end of it before I knew it because I just could not stop reading at all.
The characters were what made this book really interesting. Getting to read about different ones in different timelines was brilliant. I know I will be giving this book a re-read and I will be checking out all other books by this author. You should definitely read this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale by Danielle Ackley-McPhail and Day Al-Mohamed is an inventive retelling of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. It is an interesting story with a great cast of characters.
These authors are both new to me so I had no idea what to expect when I started reading it. The book was definitely exciting in parts and a unique way to tell a well known story. I did find parts of the story a little slow but it picked up pace the further into the book you get. The characters were all well developed and had depth about them.
The combination of writing styles in this book complimented each other well and created a seemless story. It was a great introduction to 2 new authors and I would certainly recommend this book.

Sweet Salvation by Toya Richardson is the third book in the Protectors Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although I can see how it would be beneficial to read them in order.
This was an interesting book to read. It was well written and developed well. Although it is a typical story of mates the story itself is much more unique than that.

Midnight in the House of Lang by Bree M. Lewandowski is an amazing dystopian novel which will make you feel like you are right there.
This book is utterly fantastic. I knew I would like it from the second I read the description but I am blown away by how amazing this book was.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Anne by Zarina Macha is a book that deals with some serious issues in a sympathetic and engaging way. As a young adult book it touches on subjects that a lot of others in the genre tend to stay away from. It really takes you on the ups and downs of being an adolescent and delves into issues that a lot of them face in today’s society.
With that being said it is quite an easy book to read. It has a nice steady pace about it and the author builds up the characters well. This is one of those books that I think for people in the genre it is definitely worth a read! And for those who don’t usually read this genre I would suggest they give it a go.
