Black BulletBlack Bullet by L.D. Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Black Bullet by L.D. Rose is the second book in the Order of the Senary series. This book is a stand-alone, however, you are introduced to these characters in book one.
This book is a great mix of fantasy and crime and thriller. It keeps you on your toes and turning the pages. The characters were the kind that just worked together, interesting and exciting to read about. Their interaction was so convincing it sucked you further into the story.
The book had a great pace to it, flowing all the way through and always holding your interest. This is a well written book and I cannot wait to read more.

Seraphina's Initiation (Seraphina, #2)Seraphina’s Initiation by Sheena Hutchinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seraphina’s Initiation by Sheena Hutchinson is the second book in the Seraphina’ series. This series needs to be read in order so that you get a full understanding.
This book continues the great story we were introduced to in book one. Sera is fully immersed in the world of Angels and Demons, fighting to protect the ones she loves.
The author had done an amazing job at developing this story and these characters. It picks straight back up again and transports you straight back to the world you would have been reluctant to leave behind. This book carries the momentum built up in the first and becomes such a great instalment. I am very much looking forward to the next one!

A Cold Dark Place (Cold Justice, #1)A Cold Dark Place by Toni Anderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Cold Dark Place by Toni Anderson is the first book in the Cold Justice series. This bookie well written and an absolute thrilling read.
Alex and Mallory could not be more suit and yet ill-suited at the same time. The chemistry between them, the connection they have, was so good to read about. You wanted to find a way to work past all the secrets that were bound to come out. But at the same time you couldn’t possibly guess how they would work it out.
The story was great as well. With t all relating back to Mallory’s sister it gave an emotional depth that I hadn’t expected.
As the first book I have read by this author I found it to be enjoyable and thrilling. I am looking forward to book 2.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Luke by Madison Quinn is the first book in the Dark Water Security Series. This book covers some fairly dark themes and may not be suitable for all readers. However, if you are ok with this then you really should give this book a try!
This book was such an emotional one, it was deep and gritty and really knows how to sink its claws into you. The opening throws you straight in, leaving you gasping to keep up with everything going on. You know immediately that you are in for a serious ride.
As the first book I have read by this author it has introduced me to someone I will definitely have to check out in more depth.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not So Broken by Renee Regent is the first book on the Love Grows series. This book will carry you along on an amazing storyline that will be sure to tug at the heart strings.
Having read a few thrillers lately I loved the fact that I knew what to expect from a book like this. It made it so easy to lose myself in the story for an afternoon and think of nothing but what was happening on the pages in front of me.
The book had a great emotional element to it as well which really draws you in and keeps you reading. This was a great way to start a new series and I am looking forward to book 2.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Improper Encounter by Erica Taylor is the third book in the Macalisters series. This book can easily be read as a stand-alone although the whole series is well worth reading.
This book has to be my favourite so far. I loved the scandal of the book, the secrets and the almost forbidden nature of it. I felt utterly drawn to these two characters and got lost in their journey so easily.
Erica Taylor has done a great job on this series so far and I cannot wait to see what else might be to come.

Movie Star by Pamela DuMond is the second book in the 21st Century Courtesan series. This series really needs to be read in order as this book picks up where the first left off.
This book was a brilliant continuation of the first. It was as intriguing and enthralling as I would have expected.
There isn’t really much I can say about the book without giving away but unloved Evie just as much as I did first time round. Each book just adds more to this series and is helping to create a fantastic escape from reality. This book is certainly worth reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Infamy by Seelie Kay is the second book in the Feisty Lawyers series. This is a relatively short story but it is full of all the excitement and intrigue that you would get from any longer novel.
Book one was a very good start to the series but this boom took it to a whole other level. This was edge of your seat, heart thumping, cannot read quick enough type of reading. The book was full of so many twists and turns and I could not put it down.
If this is an indication as to how the series will be then I seriously cannot wait for the next book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Light at Dawn by K.L. Montgomery is an emotional rollercoaster that will consume you entirely. I knew the second I read the blurb that I would need to prepare myself going into this book. Tissues were at the ready and the wine was in hand and boy were both needed.
Everything about these characters and their journey sucked me in. I won’t say anything at all about the story because you really need to jump straight in and experience this all for yourself. But every single emotion, every single tear is worth it.
This book has easily made it to my ugly cry read list – the list that I know will tear out my heart but is worth it every step of the way. Everyone should give this book a try!

The Perfect Duchess by Erica Taylor is the second book in the Macalisters series. This book is as good as the first with interesting characters and a great story line.
Historical fiction is always something that I find can go either way and yet this author nails it every time. The story is interesting and has just enough going on to keep your attention. I loved these two main characters, they seemed so well suited to each.
So far this series I shaping up to be great!

VortexVortex by Kimberly Packard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vortex by Kimberly Packard is a book unlike any I had read before. The plot was different from most of the books I have read recently and that captures my attention and kept me hooked.
Part of what had me so fascinated with this book is that I just couldn’t imagine anything that would prompt me to do what Elaine does. And yet at the same time I felt like I was right there with her making those decisions, chasing all those storms.
This book takes you on such an emotional journey. It’s been a while since I had to “sit” for a while once finishing a book but this one I certainly had to. An absolutely brilliant read I couldn’t recommend this more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seraphina’s Awakening by Sheena Hutchinson is the first book in The Seraphinas series. This is the kind of book that will keep you guessing all the way through.
As much as I might want to rave about this book I also wouldn’t want to say too much for fear of spoiling it. I didn’t really know anything about this book, or this author, when I started reading and I am really glad that was the case. I went in totally blind, with no preconceptions and was swept away by the storytelling.
I loved Sera and how fierce her character felt to me. It was so easy to connect with her as a character, it honestly felt like I was feeling everything she did.
This author has done an amazing job at creating a piece of work that will stay with you long after you finish reading. Highly recommended!

Rules of Engagement by Mika Jolie is the third book in the Platonically Complicated series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
If, like me, you love books about single dads then this is certainly a book for you! The description told me it was going to be good but I was hooked on this book, and these characters as soon as I started reading. I loved the main characters and I loved how obviously compatible they were. You could feel the chemistry between them.
This is always an author o have enjoyed reading but this book by far had to be my favourite. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book.

The Monsters Lover by Samantha MacLeod is a fantastical and gripping story that will keep you hooked all the way through. I knew from the moment I read the blurb that I would enjoy the book.
It was an interesting story that had me intrigued from the start. I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen – would Sol find a way out for herself, who was the stranger she can across?
This was a new author to me and I was blown away but her writing style. The pace was great and the characters were so interesting and diverse. I loved how easily it was to become a part of their journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read more by this author.

This was one of those books that I felt my emotions were fully invested in what was happening. I laughed, I cried, I hoped right along with the characters.
I wasn’t expecting this book to end on a cliff hanger however I kind of like that it did. I like that we are clearly going to get more of these characters to read about. A very good start to a series.

A Suitable Affair by Erica Taylor is the first book in the Macalisters series. This was a fine example of a regency romance.
I always hesitate before reading anything in this genre as I always find it so predictable and boring. However this book was far from both of those. I felt the thrill of the story all the way through. The MC’s were exciting to read about and the story was constantly developing. The book never at any point just sat back and let itself rely on the story so far, it kept pace and kept you interested.
The twist at the end was something I didn’t see coming which made this book even better.
As a new author to me I didn’t know what to expect at all and all I can say is I am so glad I gave this series a chance. I am looking forward to the rest.

The story was well developed and fast paced, never hallowing for your attention to drift to anything other than what you were reading. This was great way to discover a whole new series and author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T.Y. Fortune is the second book in the Hart and Cole series. This is a series that really does need to be read in order as the story is a continuation throughout and you would miss far too much detail to start part way through.
This book is as thrilling and complex as the first book. The author takes us further into her characters lives and explores the different facets of marriage. She highlights well the troubles that many people themselves face which is partly why the characters are so relatable. Even if not all of their experience matches yours there is enough that will resonate anyway.
I am definitely looking forward to seeing what book three has to offer!
