The Girl and the Gargoyle (The Girl and the Raven, #2)The Girl and the Gargoyle by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Girl and the Raven series. This is a captivating young adult story. I would really recommend reading book 1 first so that you get to know all the characters and how they come to be where they are now. I love our leading lady Lucy. She is strong willed and determined and full of fight which she is going to need in this story.

We are back with Lucy after the ending in the 1st book her life has been turned upside down when she finds out she is half-witch, half- demon.

Sweet Nightmares (The Dream World Chronicles #1)Sweet Nightmares by Chynna Pace
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first  book in the Dream World Chronicles. It is a young adult fantasy adventure. I found the book a bit slow going in the beginning and had a hard time connecting to the characters but as the story progressed I found it an enjoyable read. There is loads of paranormal and supernatural occurances. And a shock realisation when you finally realise that nightmares are make believe after all. The stuff of nightmares actually exist.

Strange things start to happen as they realise that their grandmother isn’t all that she seems and that there are secrets about their family that they have yet to uncover.

A Divided MindA Divided Mind by M. Billiter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. It was a really interesting read and reading it from the perspective of the mum and also Branson really helped give the story a complete feeling. I really loved how the author has been so open and wrote so honestly about mental health and the problems that not only the person suffering with the illness goes through but also the people around them. The story has been wrote in a really respectful way but without sugar coating things which makes it a real eye opening read.

Branson is a successful student with his whole life ahead of him until he starts suffering episodes of blackouts and hearing voices. Not knowing how to handle this he turns to his mum. We then follow his mother and him on the journey to get the help he needs for his mental health,however things aren’t that easy and things will get worse before they get better.

It’s a hard story to read because you can feel the torment that Branson goes through but also the torment and grief that his mum is suffering too. As a parent myself I can’t imagine how hard it is to watch your child suffer and be unable to help them.

This book will really make you rethink about mental health and the stigma that surrounds it by giving the reader a deep insight into it and the heartbreak it causes.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really good book. It was gripping and a real page tuner but at the same time really quite scary. With today’s society and modern technology you can actually imagine a world like this where people all have chips in their head that controls everything from turning on their TV, speaking to people without actually talking and even being able to administer medication to themselves. The chip also is a recording device that records a person’s actions 24/7, 365 days.

So what happens when the chips start to fail? When people start dying with these chips it’s Cole job to find out why. Is it something to do with someone messing with the chips so that Coles company gets bad reputation or is it simply a bad batch of patches.

Cole thinks he’s found a link, however his life is turned upside down when he is drugged and his own chip removed. Now alone with no aid in this technological world Cole needs to learn who he can and can’t trust as well as learning to live and face the reality of real life not a virtual one.
While on his journey to find out and remember what happened to him it is also a race against time. Can he figure everything out or will he be silenced by the people trying to destroy everything Cole and the Company have created.

Stripped (The Stripped Series Book 1)Stripped by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first  book in the Stripped Series and wow what a start. I loved it and read the whole thing in one sitting. I just couldn’t put it down.

It’s a story about murder with a romance and psychological twist to it. I love how strong our leading lady Dee is. But with all the mind games even she isn’t immune to the thought of a perfect carefree life.
When Dee and Connie are tasked to solve the murder of a young woman called Amber it takes them on a wild ride leading them into the arms of a cult.
The story has so many twists and turns that I never knew who the murderer was until it was revealed at the end of the book. The book also leaves the opening for the second book. And I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of our mind game playing cult leader Johnathan. I have a feeling he’s not finished with Dee just yet.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a beautifully written story made for children. I read the story to my 6 year old son and he really enjoyed it as well. It’s a story of friendship and about facing things that scare you . With his friends joining him for company he’s looking for the cause of his fear and facing it head on. What they find is a new friend with a disability. It was beautiful how the author managed to get the point across that even though the dog with the disability looked different and that could be seen as scary in reality they were just like us.

The author writes  it in a way that is easy to understand  and follow by all ages and the rhyming makes the read enjoyable and easy for younger children.

This is the second  book in The Shadows Chronicles. This story carries on with the first book and its a story which will keep you gripped from beginning to end. The characters are well written that you can’t help feel every emotion they go through and when they face dangers you feel like you are right there with them.

I really enjoyed this crime story. The author does an amazing job of gripping you and keeping you in the story. The author’s use of the proper police terminology really makes you feel like you are part of the investigation.

I really enjoyed this story. Its got a slight twist on a friends to lovers story because inbetween our couple goes from friends to enemies.

Hold Me ForeverHold Me Forever by Lea Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Heron Harbour series. This book can be read as a standalone but our main characters have appeared in previous books as supporting characters now they get a book of their own to tell us about their story. I really enjoyed the characters personalities and how the author brings them to life.
The author does an amazing job of grabbing a reader and not letting go. This book is full of romance but also takes the reader down a path of pain and hurt and you understand why our leading lady Lark guards her heart.
Lark returns home to Heron Harbour for her sister’s wedding and she is not looking forward to it. Since she left she had a good life concentrating on her work and keeping her heart guarded. Her main worry about returning always bumping into someone from her past Hunter.

Hunter loves his life as police chief on Heron Harbour and he thought he had it all but when Lark rejected him and left the rejection left its mark.

Now they are thrown together at this wedding as Hunter is best man. Will the spark that was once between them return? Will they both let their guards down enough to actually give their love a chance? Or will Lark try and run again. The question is how hard with Hunter fight for her this time.

This is the first book in the Prestoria series. It is a very enjoyable young adult story filled with danger and adventure. It’s a magical story with links to Indian myths legends and folklore.

Cursed Touch (Broderick Coven, #4)Cursed Touch by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Broderick Covern. These books just keep getting better with each addition. I love the mix of magic, supernatural beings and romance. The characters are well written and even the paranormal/magical elements in this story are written so well that they are believable.

In this book we follow the romance between Vanessa and Carter.

Carter is a member of the Broderick Coven. His gift is the ability to heal people which makes his job working in a hospital a perfect choice for him. Things in his life seem settled until Vanessa comes into his life.

Vanessa meets Carter when she takes her neighbour to the hospital for a “dog bite”. The attraction between them is instant but neither knows anything the other apart from the fact they have this connection and they can’t forget each other. Could Vanessa be Carter’s mate?

Vanessa is human but she knows there is more happening in the world that humans. She is aware of supernatural beings but has no proof. As she keeps searching she comes to the attention of people who want her to stop and now her life is in danger.

Can Carter protect Vanessa from the danger thats out to get her? Can Vanessa actually handle the truth of her new normal or will the revelations about supernatural beings be too much for her to take?

I loved this book and can’t wait for more.

Repair (Rescue Me #1; The Everyday Heroes World)Repair by Trish Williford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this love story. Its a really moving story about friends becoming lovers and all the problems that can follow it. The beautiful part of this book for me is Tank’s story. Throughout his childhood he has suffered loss and neglect and even as an adult he feels he is worthless and undeserving of love. However Charlie doesnt see him that way. She has loved him for years and one night together sends them into a spin. Charlie happy and looking to the future and Tank overcome by self doubt and pushing Charlie away.

8 years later Charlie returns and the connection between them is just as strong but with Charlie’s brother warning Tank off and Charlie’s emotions and upset from the past can they work together this time or are they best just forgetting what could have been and remain friends.

My heart  was broken for both Tank and Charlie. It was heartbreaking to read Tank feeling so down about his self worth that he would ruin something so good. And also reading the heartache Charlie went through when she got the man of her dreams only to lose him again the first time around.

I really enjoyed this romance story. It has parts that make you laugh. The leading lady Elle is really relatable. She is a young business woman who is running her mother  bakery. It’s not what she wants to do but she feels she owes it to her mother.
When Zane opens up another bakery right next door it makes Elle angry.

The anger from Elle to Zane intensifies when he makes her an offer for her business. It will give Elle the chance to do what she really wants which is create cakes so why does she see this as an insult. Elle’s firey  temperament brings out her protectiveness  towards her mothers business and she will stop at nothing to protect it.

Zane however can’t understand Elle’s reaction. All he wants is to spend time with her and get to know her but Elle fights him all the way. Until she gives in and things seem to be looking up.

Is this all a ploy by Elle to find out what Zane’s planning? What happens when pretending to have a connection to someone turns into a real passionate connection? Can Elle survive opening her heart to Zane?

I really enjoyed this story. It was a light hearted read. It had parts which make you laugh so loud. The characters are well written. Sheldon is a player who knows what he’s good at( between the sheets) and what he’s not( sustaining a relationship). Simone is a very driven and focused woman. Her passion and energy goes onto her rescue of the big cats. She doesn’t have time for relationships or distractions.

So just imagine the fun and the twists when the Player vet (Sheldon) gets sent to help the highly driven Simone.
Will the Player finally find a relationship worth fighting for? Will Sheldon be able to turn Simone’s focus onto something other than fundraising? Will this chance encounter between them become something special or a disaster waiting to happen.

Boy ReleasedBoy Released by J.D. Spero
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such an emotional  read. It follows on from the book Boy on Hold and I really recommend reading that one first so you get the full impact of this story.

It’s 10 years since Ty was convicted of murder and sent to a psychiatric institution. Now he’s back with his family and even though things seem to be improving for the family there is a dark cloud ahead.

When Ty’s mum is attacked in the hotel that they own Ty is the only witness to the attack. However, the wrong choice of words at the wrong time sees Ty go from witness to suspect and with his past conviction he is the most likely suspect.
His mother however knows this isn’t the case and now the family needs to fight yet again to stop Ty getting convicted for another crime. This one he didn’t commit. However you can sense and feel the doubt of his innocence from his brother Hen and the boyfriend of his mum. After all if Ty could commit murder why couldn’t he be responsible for this attack?

It is an amazing read and the author does a great job of handling the sensitive subject of mental illness and how having a mental illness cause automatically label you. The rollercoaster Ty goes on with his mental health is really interesting to go through but also to see and feel the effect it has on his family shows you that mental healthy doesn’t just affect the person with the illness.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this  book. This is the 2nd book in the Her Three Immortals Series. I would definitely recommend reading the books in order as in the first book we are introduced to the characters that are in this book too.

The Third NannyThe Third Nanny by Michele Pariza Wacek
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a gripping psychological Thriller. I was hooked from beginning to end. The author does an amazing job at building the story in a way that when you think you have a handle on what’s happening it twists again and keeps you guessing.

We start off meeting Janey. Janey  has plenty of secrets in her family but the main one being the disappearance of her sister. No one knows what happened to Kelly, she just disappeared. That is until 8 years later when she writes to Janey.
What is happening to her sister? Why did she disappear?
Now Janey is on a mission to find her sister and the truth of what made her leave. Was it a stalker like she claimed or was it part of a breakdown?

Janey follows her sisters last known footsteps even taking her job as nanny to the Johnsons. However, things aren’t what they seem and the Johnsons have secrets as well. Secrets which may explain her sisters desperate letter and which may also put Janey in danger.

If you like a book that is suspenseful and gripping this is definately a book to read. I can’t recommend it enough

Hawke (Men of Syn, #1)Hawke by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. The story is captivating. Its one of those books that you can’t put down because you need to know what happens next. The characters are well written and believable. Their thoughts and feelings are easy to understand and you go through all the emotions with them.

Charlotte is a party planner. When she is hired to organise a party of a new club called Syn she gets into a world she’s has experienced before. That experience has left her scared when the dominant male just left her. Still suffering from that moment she is left reeling when she realises that the guy she is working for is the same guy who abandoned her.

Hawke is a successful business man. He loves his dominent lifestyle and all that brings. He has rules and if they aren’t followed he send the women away. Which is what he did with Charlotte. However she is one submissive he has never stopped thinking about.

Now back in each others lives they have to fight the attraction between them but they are both fighting for opposite things. Charlotte is fighting to prove to him they could walk together where as Hawke wants to distance himself. Hawkes past has made him the man he is today and we learn about his past through this story.

The book is fast paced and very passionate and steamy. And along with with deep parts about Hawkes past life it all gels together to make a romance that you can’t put down.
