Kingdom of Embers (Kingdom Journals #1)Kingdom of Embers by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great YA paranormal story. I loved the author’s writing, it really drags you into the story and doesn’t let go. The main character of Alena is really well written. She is a very strong and determined character. I like the mixture of paranormal characters and how they are all connected. The story is full of mystery and discovery.

All Alena  wants is to be a normal teenage girl, however that isn’t possible. As a half vampire/half witch hybrid she isn’t even supposed to exist. When she is moved to another new school by her mother she has to try and act like a normal girl which isn’t easy with the complications of making new friends, her new feelings towards a human boy and finding out that her imaginary friend wasn’t imaginary at all.

Things get even more complicated as Alena and Hunter search for answers to why they are connected and how leading them on a journey of discovery which leads them to discover the answer to an ancient curse.

The Girl and The Demon (The Girl and The Raven, #3)The Girl and The Demon by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in The Girl and the Raven series. I have loved the other 2 books in this series and I wasn’t disappointed with this book either. I would definately recommend reading them in order so you get the full feel of the characters, their stories and how they are all linked. The story is a supernatural romance which is my favourite. It’s packed full of supernatural beings, romance and danger.

Shadows of Doubt (A Crawford Mystery)Shadows of Doubt by Merissa Racine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the series and it is just as enjoyable as the first book. Even though the books can be read as a standalone I would recommend reading them in order so you get a proper sense for the characters and how they are linked.

Lauren is back as the court reporter. Forced to take whatever jobs come her way she has to take a job as a court reporter for a murder trail that her ex husband is the judge on.
With the feelings between the running high can she focus on her job?

This murder trial has a difference. Lauren knows the victim and she knows that the chances of the person who is on trail for her murder actually commiting  this murder are very slim.
With other suspects with a stronger motive for this murder not being looked into Lauren finds herself trying to solve the case and bring the real murderer to justice. However things aren’t that straight forward and the story takes you on so many twists as it unfolds that you won’t know who the killer is until the end.

This is a great murder mystery which will keep you guessing. It is a classic whodunit and the clues will lead you on a quest to discover the truth.
I love the main characters of Frances, Jack and Uncle Sal. The fact that they aren’t professional detectives but are able to go undercover as hired help and work out the clues was great fun to read.
The author does an amazing job of setting the scene of the life of the rich in 1931.
This book is full of twists and turns so you will be kept guessing from start to end.

Engaño (DeWitt Agency Adventures, #2)Engaño by Lance Charnes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great read. It is the second book in the DeWitt Agency Adventures. The story is fast paced and will of action, danger and intrigue. You get completely drawn into the story and following the twists and turns that you get taken through.

It is a story about Mafia, drugs and when Carson goes on the case to return a daughter to her father she gets dragged further into the rabbit hole of this world than she ever dreamed possible.

There are a lot of characters to this story and the connection between them can get confusing at first, however I recommend sticking with the book because once you get a grip on the connections and who’s who the story then becomes an amazing read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 5 in the Broderick Coven series and these books keep getting better and better. Like the previous 4 books it is a paranormal romance which lots of surprises and magic. I love the whole idea of soul mates and how the characters are destined to find their one true love.

The main characters in this are Edward and Mia. Edward is part of the Broderick Coven. His magical power is luck. He has intuition skills which makes him very successful in business. But love isn’t for him..and he doesn’t plan on looking for it.

However when the beautiful florist/witch called Mia comes into his life all that changes. But things aren’t plan sailing.

The Guardian's Legacy (Coin of Time, #1)The Guardian’s Legacy by Luciana Cavallaro
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great first book in the Coin of Time Series. I love how action packed it is and how the author really brings history to life. Hearing about things that happened long ago gives this book a unique twist, as well as being full of action ots educational as well.

Nik thinks he is an ordinary school teacher but how wrong he was. After his grandfather explains that they are guardian’s of a special coin that they must protect at all costs. Weaving the story through Ancient Greece and Mythology you really get drawn into the magic of the coin.

But then things change. When Nik’s grandfather goes missing and Interpol turn up asking questions Nik starts to wander if the job of protecting this precious coin is as dangerous as his grandfather made out.

This book is left on a cliff hanger and I can’t wait to continue this story.

The Bastard Prince (It's Raining Royals, #2)The Bastard Prince by Alix Nichols
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in the Raining Royals series and it was just as good as the first one. These books are a great mix of romance and mystery as the Princes try to find all of the missing keys to unlock the vault that will save their kingdom. The characters are well written and I love Sasha’s character. With all the odds stacked against her she remains a strong determined woman who is set on succeeding.

However this one is different. This Prince doesn’t know he’s a Prince until he receives his mission. Arnaud  didn’t know his father. His father abandoned him, so imagine his shock when he gets told his father was a Prince of a place no one knows about and that it is now his birthright to become a Prince too.
All he needs to do to save his kingdom by finding a secret key. And he needs the Key to the Key to do that.

The Key to a Key he needs turns out to  Sasha. Sasha  is a journalist who is looking to uncover the truth about the place that supposedly doesn’t exist but with her medical issues it takes her time to research things. Imagine if she had  a link that she could get instant access to.

That link becomes Arnaud. The both of them have hidden agendas for starting on their journey together but neither of them could have seen or expected the outcome.

Forever (Diamond Doms #9)Forever by Ivy Nelson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a gripping read from start to finish. The is book 9 in the Diamond Doms series. If you do read the books in order it builds the characters and the storyline, however it can be read as a standalone and is just as enjoyable.

This is definately an adult romance based around the dominant male and submissive female. However there is an element of danger, and adventure as they try to bring down the people who are looking to harm their friends and family.
The relationship between Gemma and Russell is very intense not only when they are embracing their roles but also in everyday life. Russell has definately met his match with Gemma, she is fiesty and determined and full of sass. As much as she is willing to submit to him in the bedroom in everyday life she isn’t going to make it so easy.
All Russell wants to do is protect her and keep her safe, but how can he do that when she is making plans of her own to bring down their enemy’s.
Their relationship needs to be built on trust but can it survive when one of them breaks that trust by putting themselves and everyone else in danger?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second  book in The Cross of Ciaran series. I would really recommend reading the first book  before this one as it will give you a  better understanding for the story.

We are back with Ciaran and Caitlin on the search to get Ciaran’s memories back. On their way to another dig Ciaran and Caitlin take a detour to view the other preists Caitlin has found.

Add to this a serial killer in their timeline that threatens the lives of Ciaran but also his brother and Caitlin. Ciaran is the only person that can stop this killer and save them.

This book is a perfect mix of romance and adventure. I love the fact that Ciaran is from the past so we go backwards and forwards in time. The author does a great job of bringing history to life while making the story interested and intriguing.

Why we don't die in DreamsWhy we don’t die in Dreams by Debbie Zello
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow what can I say about this book. It is an amazing read. I loved the characters of Lou and Gavin. Their relationship and whit really brings the story to life. Some parts of this book were hard to read as descriptions of the crime scenes were graphic so I can completely understand why the author says it is to be read by adults 18+. However for me this wasn’t a problem and really just helped me feel like I was living the story.

Gavin is a detective. He’s loves his job and after he got his heart broken he shuts himself off from romance and focuses on his job.
His new case starts when a woman turns up dead in a dumpster. Also Gavin is plagued by dreams at night. Its a women begging him to save her and counting every new case (woman thats murdered). How are these cases and his dreams connected? Is it coincidence? Gavin started to think so until he realised that all the women that have been murdered have 1 connection. Him.

Can Gavin and Lou solve this before the murderer strikes again? Who is the killer and why are they targeting the women Gavin has contact with?
This book will really blow your mind and grip you from beginning to end.

Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Kerry Carr

/0 Comments/in /by

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow I’m not sure where to start with this story.  It is classed as a gothic fairytale but it feels so much more than that. It had an element of a fairytale with the story of the Weeping Woman and how she impacts the women that encounter her. There’s also a fairytale feel about the effect the Weeping Woman has on our main character Mercy. However I feel the story goes much deeper than that.

I feel this book has a story about depression and how if we allow ourselves to get dragged down to the depths it can take our life from us. However if we leave to fight back and live with happiness we can overcome it.

I really enjoyed this story. It was very moving and emotion and the little horror element keeps you hooked on your seat wondering if the Weeping Woman ends up getting Mercy or if she can defeat her.

This book follows on from the  book First We Kill All The Lawyers and what a follow on. This book is action  packed and full of twists. It is definately a story that you won’t be able to put down. You will also feel loads of emotions from happiness to sadness, anger and fear.

Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling (Stone and Cinder Book 1)Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this take on a classic tale. It is beautifully written and changed to make the story more modern. The Cinderella in this tale isn’t rushing to meet the Prince. The Prince is happily married to another man. It is a beautiful mix of a classical fairy tale and a sci-fi twist with the nightmare creatures trying to take over. It is definately a great remake of a classic.

Ashling  has the Cinderella life style. Her parents have passed away and she is left at the mercy of her step mother and step sisters, forced to become a slave in her own home. But that all changes when she spots things changing in their world. Their world which is protected from the outside by a dome. When things start entering her world from the outside she realises she needs to get help and she heads to the Palace.

Prince Callum has met and married the love of his life in Teague. The problem is the safety of his kingdom and the keeping of the protection  of the dome relys on the blood of his heir. So now Callum needs to find someone who he can care for to become the mother of his child and to save the kingdom.

In true Cinderella fashion when the clock strikes midnight things start to change and this leads Prince Callum on a hunt for Ashling.
Will he find her? Will she agree to mother his child? And what of the relationship between Prince Callum and Teague can it survive the addition of another person? And the main thing. Can they stop the nightmare creatures from taking over their peaceful little world?

Love's Refrain (The Stardust Duet, #1)Love’s Refrain by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This a such a beautifully written romance. It captivated me from the beginning. The author does an amazing job of describing the scenes, the music, the clothes of the era that you actually feel like you are reliving it in the present.

This isn’t your usual romance, the time travel element makes the story of love all the more amazing and beautiful. The fact that Phillip has held onto his love for Kat for all these years is amazing.

When Kat meets Phillip she has no idea of the past they shared together until she is transpoted back to 1947 and the true story of her life and her love for Phillip is revealed.

It is an amazingly written story which has so many elements to it that make it unique but the one constant is that love can withstand any test of time.

This is the seventh book in the Logan McKenna series and they just keep getting better and better. I have read these books from the first one and it’s been amazing to see Logan blossom and transform throughout the series.
Logan’s life seems to be on an even keel now. Her job is going well, she is engaged to Ben and everything seems good in the world. However trouble always seems to find Logan.

Firstly a video her student makes of her music goes viral making her a wealthy woman, but Logan is concerned about how this will affect her relationship with Ben. Will he be supportive or will it come between them

Secondly on her trip for work she stumbles across a dead body. With her friends looking like the prime suspects she now needs to use her skills as an investigator to solve this case before the murderer strikes again.

This book is action packed and has so much depth with the relationships Logan has with Ben and her friends. You get dragged into Logan’s world and you aren’t let go until the end. I can’t wait to see what will happen next

This is the second book in the Welcome to Bunya Junction series. I have loved the books in the series so far. These stories are sweet love stories set in a little village.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really good crime Thriller than grips the reader and doesn’t let go. It covers a lot of issues that happen in this world, politics, ‘trial by media’ and racism.

Cady  had her life working to the way she planned it. She had a successful career and was on her way to becoming partner in the law firm she works at. However that all changed in a split second decision.

That decision meant she took the life of a man. Now faced with a possible murder charge she uses her knowledge of the law to put forward a plea of standing her ground.

This plea means that she shot and killed him in self defence but will the police and the public believe that. Should Cady get away with this because of her status in the world or will they look to make an example out of her?
This story is really enjoyable as we watch Cady’s fight to prove her case and save herself from a prison sentence for what she believes was self defense.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. It had everything I like in a story, Romance, vampires and a very strong dominant male.
This is  fast paced story which keeps you hooked from the start. I loved the protective dominance of Vulture but also the confidence and determination of Danielle.

Danielle is a curator of a museum. When she is outbid  for a very special relic  she is fuming. Danielle finds herself in danger when she is kidnapped by vampires.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this fast paced paranormal story. The author does a great job of filling the story with  lot of action and details even though it’s a short story. The characters are well written and the lesson of the grass isn’t always greener on the other side really rings true for me in this book.

Luci has been left an estate after her aunty pasts away. However its not just an estate she’s left with. There is a secret in the home, a secret that’s been responsible for the death of all of Luci’s female ancestors.

The home is possessed by a demon. A demon that feeds of his victims slowly draining them. He captures them under his spell but becoming what ever the lady wants. Now Luci is set on a course to possible self destruction. Can her partner Beckett figure out a way to save her? How can the past help him find a solution? Will true love win the day or will Luci completely succumb to the promise of her dream that hides a nightmare?
