North to Nara (Crimson Sash Book 1) by Amanda Marin – Review by Kerry Baker

North to Nara (Crimson Sash, #1)North to Nara by Amanda Marin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

North to Nara by Amanda Marin is the first book in the Crimson Sash series. This is a unique and interesting YA novel that everyone should try.
This story isn’t like one I have read before. The idea of having our emotions taken away to enable us to continue is intriguing if a little scary. The author does a great job of creating this world where everything appears to be perfect and yet hidden away are plenty of dark secrets.
This was a new author for me and I really enjoyed her writing style. It was engaging and knew how to keep the story going. This was a brilliant book and one I would recommend.

LOVE on the LINE, A Great Expectations Love Story: The Graykens, Book 2 by Laurie Lewis – Review by Kerry Baker

LOVE on the LINE (Great Expectations Love Stories: The Graykens Book 2)LOVE on the LINE by Laurie Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love on the Line by Laurie Lewis is the second book in the Great Expectations Love Stories: The Graykens. This book is as emotional and heart wrenching as the first book. There is something about these characters that completely draws you in and holds you captive.
The story was told so gracefully over both of the books. It definitely took me by surprised from the moment I picked up the first book but I can definitely say I am glad I have this series a go!

Vantage Point (Gray Ghost #4)Vantage Point by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vantage Point by Amy McKinley is the fourth book in the Gray Ghost series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone
As with the others this book is fast paced and intense. Each page was a thrilling turn . Hawk has to be my favourite character of this series so far. I loved the connection between him and Stella. They just seemed to pop entirely off the page. And the story the author created with this book was just brilliant. I enjoyed every part of it. This one has easily just become my favourite of the series.

Seraphina’s Revolution (The Seraphina Series Book 4) by Sheena Hutchinson – Review by Kerry Baker

Seraphina's Revolution (Seraphina #4)Seraphina’s Revolution by Sheena Hutchinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seraphina’s Revolution by Sheena Hutchinson is the fourth book in the Seraphina series. This series does need to be read in order as it follows the same characters and each book is a continuation of the story.
This series honestly just gets better and better. Normally once I get a few books in I start to get bored of reading about the same characters but that hasn’t been the case with this series. Each book is exciting and fast paced. I love jumping back into Sera’s character each and every time. I feel like you really get to connect with her emotions and her journey.
Considering at first this was a series I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it is how one I would highly recommend!

Knights Who Won My Heart (Knights, #4)Knights Who Won My Heart by Sonya Jesus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Knights Who Won My Heart by Sonya Jesus is the fourth book in the Knights series. This series, in my opinion, cannot be read as a standalone, you do need to read them all in order.
This whole series has been so well written. Even now when I know more about the characters I still find myself intrigued by each new book. I really like how the blurb just seems to add to the mystery each time. It makes it almost like you are starting fresh with each book, relearning all about the characters.
As with the previous ones this book has a great story that is interesting and varied. I found it to be fast paced and intense. The characters were well developed and just as engaging as they were in book one. An overall well written book and series.

Age of Saints (Druid's Brooch #7)Age of Saints by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Age of Saints by Christy Nicholas is the seventh book in the Druids Brooch series. Although this series follows the same family each book can be read as a stand-alone.
Having read a few books in this series it is clear that this author knows how to write deep and complex characters that will engage you as a reader every time you pick up the book. She also creates an elaborate story full of history and fantasy. The two elements combined in this way work so well.
For me this book has got to be my favourite of the series so far. I really enjoyed reading about Lainn. She is a character I connected with instantly and enjoyed reading about from start to finish. This was another good addition to a great series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Back in the ring by Brooke May is the fourth book in the Predator Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was easy to connect with the characters and want them to do well. It was easy to fall into the flow of the story and be swept along with it. Although I haven’t read the other books I never at any point felt like I was missing something or confused. The author does a great job at introducing and developing the characters.
The book was well paced and interesting and one I definitely would recommend.

WTF, God?: Understanding God in the Midst of TransitionWTF, God?: Understanding God in the Midst of Transition by Michelle N. Onuorah
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

  1. WTF God: Understanding God in the Midst of Transition by Michelle N. Onuorah is a book that is designed to get you thinking. While the author uses her platform to evaluate her relationship with God everything she talks about can be applied to every life.
    The book is deep and thought provoking and really helps you to assess how you approach things that are happening.
    This is a new author to me and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed her writing style. It is refreshing to read an author who is so upfront and honest about their own experiences. This was on overall good book and one I would recommend.View all my reviews

Dancing Queen by Charlotte Roth – Review by Kerry Baker

Dancing QueenDancing Queen by Charlotte Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dancing Queen by Charlotte Roth is a heartwarming example of a story that takes body image issues and flips hem on their head.
This boo has everything. Not only does it tackle an issues that is so prevalent in today’s society but it does so with wit and humour. So many times I found myself chuckling at what was going on with the characters and the story.
But at the same time it gracefully handles an issue that most people, not just females, go through. It highlights body weight concerns and the author shows exactly why they should not hold you back.
This was, for me, a surprisingly refreshing read and one I enjoyed more than I expected.

Blade's Edge (Satan's Devils MC #10)Blade’s Edge by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blades Edge by Manda Mellett is the 10th book in the Satan’s Devil’s MC series. Each of these books can be read as a stand-alone although I personally think you would be missing out on a great series if you didn’t read them all.
This book was such a good book. I loved how much depth the characters had to them, how much more there was to know about them than other books had indicated. I was intrigued to see how you could turn Blade’s character into something that resembled a “good” character. The author sure delivered.
As usual this book was fast paced and full of action and it is one I have very much enjoyed.

Captivated by the Millionaire by Nina Singh is the type of book you sit down to read and don’t put down until you have finished. For me I found this book to have an nice, easy flow to it. You are taken along the journey with the characters. I loved the fact there was a small child involved, I think it added a different dynamic to the story.
As a new author to me I didn’t know what to expect from Nina however I enjoyed her writing style and the detail in the book. She is someone I will definitely look to in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yearning Young by Deidre Huesmann is the second book in the Burning Britely series. This is a series that I would recommend reading in order as it follows the story of the same two characters throughout.
Everything about this book is as raw and emotional as the first. I loved how this time we got to see things from Braeden’s point of view. I loved it when it was Jeff but there is something about Braeden that just really resonated with me.
It was so easy to become so invested in him as a character. He was genuinely likeable. The story was fantastic as well. It was a brilliant continuation from where book 1 left off. The author pulls you straight back in their world and I couldn’t put this book down at all. I would highly recommend this whole series.

If The Shoe Fits... (The Liberty Lawrence Series Book #3)If The Shoe Fits… by Bea Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If The Shoe Fits by Bea Stevens is the third book in the Liberty Lawrence series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although you will miss a fair amount of character build up from the previous two books.
It is always fun to read about Libby and the situations she finds herself in. It is entertainment reading her stories. The author has done a great job at keeping her interesting throughout.
The book flows really well, keeping the storyline going and never resting back on the previous two books at all. This is an overall enjoyable series.

The Devil's Shadow (Wild Beasts Series Book 4)The Devil’s Shadow by T. Birmingham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Devil’s Shadow by T. Birmingham is the fourth book in the Wild Beasts series. This is one of those books that definitely has a bit of everything – fantasy, romance, action, paranormal. There is definitely something there for everyone.
I would definitely recommend reading this series in order. I read this book on its own and I know that I have missed a lot because of that. It felt like the character build up and the story setting has either been done in books before or has been building throughout the series and I knew I didn’t have full knowledge.
However the book was still well written and had a great depth to it. The characters were still interesting and easy to read about. It is obvious to see this is a brilliant series. Which is why I will be going straight back to book 1!!!

This book definitely left me wanting to read more from this series and I can’t wait to see what the next book had to offer.

The Inheritance: The Story of an Unlikely Submissive by a India Kells is a short story that is so hot and steamy that you will be left thinking about it long after you have finished reading it.
For a short story this book is absolutely packed full of detail. The characters and the overall storyline are so well developed that it honestly felt like I was immersed in a full length novel.
India Kells in one author that really knows how to captivate your attention. No matter which book of hers I read I always enjoy it immensely. This book is definitely worth your time.

The Billionaire and the Therapist by Kim Koby is the first book in the Clean Billionaire series. The book is an enjoyable read with a lovely story to it.

The author does well with the pace of the story, she keeps it flowing well and keeps on developing it overall.
This is a great book that I could easily recommend for the quiet, lazy afternoon.

COMING HOME (Flowers in December, #2)COMING HOME by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Coming Home by Jane Suen is the sequel to the great Flowers in December. This book does really need to be read in order as it continues on from book one.
It is a relatively short read, just like the first, but it has everything in it you could want.
After reading the blurb I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel throughout this book but the author does an brilliant job with it. It is highly emotional and packs so much into a small story. The characters all seem to have such a depth to them that carries the story well.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish.

The Case of Missing Books by Nikki Broadwell is the sixth book in the Summer McCloud Paranormal Mystery Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone book and, although it would have clearly been nice to have read the others, I didn’t feel like I was missing out too much for not having done so.
This bool really grabbed my attention early. All the way through it was full of twists and turns that kept you, as the reader, fully engaged.
The main character was really interesting to read about. I really like how she came across throughout the book, which is definitely a testament to the author’s work. This was a great book to read and I will definitely be looking into the rest of the series.

The author has done a great job with this book. Having read the first two books I thought I knew exactly what direction the third would take. However the author took that expectation and completely threw it out. And did it with such ease it made me wonder how I could have ever thought it would go differently.
This book has to be my favourite in the series. I loved reading about Alex and how he was portrayed. This is a great book and a great series.

Feathers: A novel by Kylie Stewart is a book that will not only keep you hooked from start to finished but will keep you thinking about it days after you have finished reading.
The blurb made it clear that this book would be highly emotional and deep and that is exactly what you get. With a dark edge running through it you are drawn to everything in this book, from the story to the characters.
As the reader you really do become so invested in Charlotte and Hawk. They have both been through so much and the author portrays that so well.
This is a brilliant read and easily one of the best o have read so far this year. I am looking forward to what else is to come.

It has everything you could want – a great story, interesting characters, chemistry and passion.
I loved reading about Noah. He has to be my favourite characters so far. I could have just kept on reading about him all night.
This book is as good as the rest of the series and is definitely worth reading.

    This book has been centred around some pretty great characters. Britt I found to be really likeable and a great heroine for this story. It was easy to get behind her and want to know more.
    This book is obviously going to be part of a series as it was all about setting the scene of what is to come. That being said it still had a lot of action and adventure to it and has definitely left me excited for what is to come.
