The Monster That Ate My MommyThe Monster That Ate My Mommy by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a heartbreaking book to read. The journey the author has been on and her traumas and heartbreak in her life life was so hard to read but at the same time it makes me appreciate the life i have and the love you felt through my childhood and the love i now give my son.

The though of Jessica going through all that when she was young really touched me. All I wanted to do was take the poor little girl away and protect her from what was happening.
It’s a good insight also into how mental illness doesn’t just affect the person with the illness but also everyone around them. This books is a really raw read about struggles, abuse, fighting for love and overcoming your past.

Tangled Roots (Tangled Magic, #1)Tangled Roots by Denise D. Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great first book in the Tangled Magic series. I love how the author combines paranormal and romance and how the author creates characters that are believable.

Beginnings and Endings: A Selection of Short StoriesBeginnings and Endings: A Selection of Short Stories by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really sweet book with short stories. The author does a great job  of telling the stories so that even though they are short you get the complete story and don’t feel like you are missing out.

There are 3 stories  and they all deal with different situations.

Grits girl- this story is about a couple who have always had a routine for visiting the same place as she loves the grits. This one time though she gets a surprise which starts a new beginning.

The Accident- This is a moving story about how life can change in an instant and when you least expect it. It is about the ending of life as you know it and trying to begin again.

The End Of Summer- this is another moving story about a hitchhiker who gets to face his childhood past and relive it in with new eyes and appreciation.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. It is a YA paranormal story and contains witches and magic. As you can imagine with young witches learning new magic things done always go the way they should.

Caim (Antipodes #4)Caim by T.S. Simons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Antipodes series and it was just as enjoyable as the first 3. I would really recommend reading these books in order so you get the whole story. The author does an amazing job at creating the scenes and also creating characters you connect with. This book is another adventure from beginning to end with twists and turns you don’t see coming.

In this book we are back with Cam and Freyja. Finally together and settled in a blissful life their world seems complete. Until two old friends/enemy’s turn up with news and theories to rock their world.

Avenging Devil Part 1 (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #3) by Manda Mellett – Review by Kerry Carr

Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan's Devils MC San DiegoAvenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can’t express how much I love these books by Manda Mellett. Every book she writes is full of emotion, danger and romance. But as its based around a MC club the romances aren’t ever simple or easy but so worth it. This is part 1 of a 2 part series and it definately ends on a cliff hanger that had me hanging on the edge of my seat for the second book.

In this book we meet Saffie. Saffie is an old lady of another MC club. But they don’t run by the same rules as the Devils. Saffie’s old man is an abuser, he is violent and attacks Saffie almost to the point of death. Finally after the last attack that almost kills her she manages to escape. Living under an assumed name in a new place she hopes to start a new life. Just her and her precious baby. That is until she gets another kick.
Niran is part of the Satan Devils MC. After meeting Saffie he feels drawn to her. She is a lost soul who needs help and support and for some reason he feels the need to be that for her.

Their friendship/relationship is beautiful in the fact that it starts as nothing and you witness it growing through the story. After what happened with Saffie’s ex will she be able to trust Niran when she finds out he’s part of a MC club or will it shatter them.

The emotions and the story is in parts very hard to read such as Saffie’s abuse and the struggle of her decision over the baby. Manda handles both situations with compassion and understanding which makes the story realistic.

The Rise Of Manifesto The Great: A Sci Fi Comedy Where Women Wear The Trousers (Planet Hy Man)The Rise Of Manifesto The Great: A Sci Fi Comedy Where Women Wear The Trousers by Kerrie Noor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a very enjoyable read. It is a sci-fi read however it is full of comedy which really made it a light hearted read.

In this story a spaceship of men and women arrive on a planet that is uninhabited. While living on the spaceship there was an order that everyone has to stay celibate due to the lack of space on the ship.

Once they arrived a leader was found and life started to take shape. The men were given jobs and women were sent to the nurturing shed  to make and care for the babies.

This way of life was ok for a time however not everyone was happy with this way of life and when new people started to arrive and people become segregated and only had access to certain things depending on their ranking this started to create friction between everyone.

They need a strong leader to unite them all but that doesn’t seem to be available.
This books is full of laughs and strong women which really bring the story to life it an age old war between men and women and women fighting for rights

The Arsonist's Handbook: A Gripping Psychological ThrillerThe Arsonist’s Handbook: A Gripping Psychological Thriller by L.A. Detwiler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a very dark psychological Thriller and one I really enjoyed. I love how deep the author gets into the mind of both Jameson  and Pete. The author does an amazing job of opening up their minds and their worlds to us so we can walk in their shoes and experience their thoughts, feelings and drive that makes them behave and react in the way they do.

Jameson is a 16 year old boy who has grown up with his mother. His father left when he was young and Jameson knows little about it. His mother works 2 jobs and has very little time to provide him with emotional support. They are more like strangers than family. When Jameson finds a journal left by his father he discovers his father was an arsonist and awakens a part of him he didn’t know existed. Is he destined to be a arsonist like his dad? Will him turning into one bring his dad home?

Pete is a man stuck in a rut. He has a beautiful house, beautiful child and wife but he isn’t happy. One night while his wife is away and his son is left with the babysitter disaster strikes and his son dies.
Overwhelmed with grief Pete takes it upon himself to find out who is responsible for his sons death and the fire that destroyed his life.
Is Jameson connected to this fire? Is it Jamesons dad? Can Pete survive the guilt and grief and stay strong enough to get justice for his son?

Travels Through Aqua, Green, and Blue: A MemoirTravels Through Aqua, Green, and Blue: A Memoir by Mary E. Gregory
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really interesting read. It is the story of the authors life and all the trials and upheavals she had to go through in her life to get to where she is today. This story is inspirational and moving. Some parts are hard for you to understand in today’s society such as all the stigma surrounding her father being gay.

Mary had a really hard childhood, from her father’s sexuality, her mother’s mental illness and her own struggled with having a cleft palate Mary has had to struggle with stigma and bullying on every step of her life.
One thing this book proves is that it doesn’t matter where you start in life, you can improve and become the person you want to be. I found this story so sad in parts but also extremely inspirational. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Shield & ShadeShield & Shade by Misty Hayes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this young adult paranormal story. It is full of action and adventure and danger around every turn. The author does an amazing job with her characters. Her descriptions of the characters and their world is so detailed that it really brings them to life. The story is one that keeps you in suspense and gripped from beginning to end. I love the fight between good and evil and how they overcome adversity.

There are lots of secrets and deception which all unravel and make this story even better. People aren’t who they appear to be and romance springs up in the most unlikely of places.

This book is a spin off from The Blood Dagger triology and even though I haven’t read those I was still able to enjoy and follow the story. However I feel if that series is read first then some of the characters would make more sense.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really sweet story about faith and keeping you faith in really tough, trying times.i was unsure about how the story would work with the virgin birth coming from a male. But it worked really well. When the world was destroyed a miracle occurs when a 17 year old boy becomes pregnant.
Is it all a figment of the boys imagination or did he really get impregnated by the Virgin Mary?
As a non believer Leslie doesn’t know what to think. Is this really a miracle or is it something that was caused by the same thing that destroyed everything in its way. Will the outcome be enough to change her view and show her that God exists?

Moonlit Kiss (A Venice Romance)Moonlit Kiss by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is such a beautiful book to read. The author does an amazing job of building the scene so you feel like you are actually in Venice and experiencing all the things our leading lady Gianna is seeing and feeling.
This is a romance but I love how this romance comes across as a love that was created years before. You are taken on a breath taking ride which leaves you questioning things you thought and falling in love with the people who lived in Venice in the past as well as the present.

Gianna was hired to help restore a beautiful piece of art. Created years ago but an artist and pictured his love for a woman. However their love wasn’t meant to be and they both died tragically. While Gianna is working on this she experiences dreams and visions of the people in their past lives. Who they were, why they couldn’t be together and the heartbreak then both suffered all helps her feel the complete  story.
While Gianna is working she meets a guy called Sergio. The attraction between them is instant and when they solve the puzzle of the missing part of the picture together you have to think is their meeting and romance coincidence or is it part of a higher plan? Is fate finally allowing the love that should have happened the first time to blossom or will the spirits of the past stop it all over again.

Carnival of Shadows (Black Water Magic #2)Carnival of Shadows by Leslie Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Black Water series and even though I didn’t read the first book I was able to pick up the story and follow it with ease. That being said I think if you read the 1st book you will get a better understanding of the lead character Teegan and how she got to the point we find her at now.

I love the mix of magic, Paranormal and romance. The author does a great job of bringing the characters to life and helping you to see them as more than just their magical side.

Teegan is still coming to terms with the loss of her grandma as well as finding her way as a witch. When the carnival comes to town their is something sinister about it. Now it’s a race against time for Teegan and her friends to save the town before the Carnaval demons take over. As she struggles to get her life on track, get over her demi-demon ex and figure out what is happening relationship wise with the hot prime alpha. Can she keep things together or will she turn them against her without the help of the carnival ringmaster influence.

Of Fire and Bone (Of Magic & Scales, #3)Of Fire and Bone by Natalina Reis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Of Magic and Scales series and what a good read it is. I would recommend reading the first 2 books in this series as it follows on with the same characters and storyline. I love the fantasy aspect and how fantasy mixes with reality. There is also an element of danger and romance that keeps the story interesting and flowing. The characters are really well written and you can feel the emotional journey that Aiden goes on from feelings of betrayal and abandonment from his parents, to fear and helplessness when his loved ones are targeted. You feel all the love, hate and pain every step of the way.

Aiden  is happy and settled with his merman mate but there is a dark cloud on the horizon in the shape of  the wicked god Baburaj and his mother, Jhanvi. They have made several attempts at destroying Aiden and his family of friends and his lover. Will they succeed this time?

With the added complication of Aiden finding his real parents in the form of a godess mother and a powerful druid as his father, Aiden starts to wonder just how powerful his magic is and why Baburaji and his mother are so determined to destroy him.
Can Aiden stop them before they hurt someone he loves? Will his parents help him or become part of the problem? Can Aiden get his happily ever after with his partner or will they be ripped apart and destroyed?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a good read. The author takes you on a journey full of twists and turns that keeps you guessing from beginning to end. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen there is another surprise that you don’t see coming and changes the whole story.

The author does an amazing job with the characters and how they all twist and turn and link with each other in ways you don’t expect.
What starts out as a story about a girl that goes missing 20 years ago turns out to be so much more and this had an effect on so many more lives.
I really enjoyed this book and wasn’t able to put it down until I got to the end and found out the truth. Be prepared for a journey full of secrets and lies and people who aren’t who you think they are.

The Divine DevilsThe Divine Devils by R. Weir
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. It is full of twists and turns that keeps you guessing from start to finish. You don’t know who to trust, and who is actually behind the plot to kidnap the  children  or the reason why? The author takes you on a rollercoaster of  ride as you work your way through with the lead character to try and work out who is out to get the kids before its too late.

I love how the author takes you in depth with all the characters with regards to their pasts and how they find themselves in the position they are in now. The main person of the Divine Devils is Hunter. His character is really well written. He’s no angel, he has a past that he isn’t proud of and things he needs to change to make his future better but is commitment to this job shines through from the second he takes over.

This book will have you gripped from the first page and with the fast pace of the book you definately won’t be able to put it down until the end. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

This is a sweet moving story perfect for young readers. It is full of love and hope but it is also action packed.

I loved the mixture of angels and gods and the war against good and evil. The fact that Tally had an angel by her side but still had to find a way to overcome her obstacles on her own is a good lesson to teach children.

The story itself is great, full of action and adventure with some heartwarming moments. I really enjoyed it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an amazing collection of stories by authors I have never read before but I really enjoyed each and everyone. As the title suggests there is a romance element but they aren’t sweet boy meets girl romances which makes them unique.

Each story is very different and unique. They cover things such as kidnap, a stalker, ghostly revenge, frued and murder also a romance. The characters are really well written and each story feels complete. I fully lost myself in each story and was left wanting more.

It is a great introduction to the authors and for people who prefer something a bit more than a sweet romance this is ideal for them.

DragonsDragons by Ty Drago
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really enjoyable sci-fi story. It is aimed at young adults but I still enjoyed it. The author does a wonderful of bringing the story to life through his characters and his description of their surroundings.

The main character in this story is Andy. Andy has a secret he has been hiding from everyone all of his life. That secret is he is part dragon. When he finds himself kidnapped he then starts on a journey to embrace his dragon nature. However things aren’t always what the seem and with Andy surrounded by lies and deceit he doesn’t know who to trust.

This story is a great read about a young man being pushed beyond his limits and learning things about himself and other people that he didn’t know before. It’s a story about learning who you can trust and how to embrace your true nature instead of hiding it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 5 in the Chase Security Series and just like previous books we are taken on a journey involving danger, trafficking and a man who will stop at nothing to protect what’s his. I loved this story. The main character Wes is strong and well trained as we have come to expect but he also has a softer side which is endearing and you can’t help fall in love with him.
Our leading lady Ellie is a fighter. She has a history she is trying to escape from and like most women she has insecurities about her body and about how people see her.
Together their relationship is beautiful and becomes something powerful.
As well as the romance there is also danger when a body is found on the Chase Security property who did it and could that be   someone who is out to get Ellie?Is it someone from her past or a new enemy and can they find out who before its too late. The journey keeps you guessing and wondering who you can actually trust.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Antipodes series and I enjoyed this just as much as the first 2. I would really recommend reading the first 2 books to get a better understanding of the characters and their situation and how they got to the point we find them at today. This is a romance but it is such an emotional story dealing with grief, reconnecting love and learning that things aren’t always what they seem and your left not knowing who to trust.

The author does and amazing job with her characters. The main one is Cam. He has dealt with such heartbreak and grief since he left his family and moved into the domes. He is now on the search for answers. But what starts as a search to leave about his dead wife’s past to be able to tell their son turns into a more intriguing story about the domes and the real reason the people were selected.

This story will make you feel every emotion possible, from overwhelming grief about Cams wife, to confusion as Cam gets answers to the questions he has. However like in real life sometimes the answers aren’t what we want or expect to hear.

In His Kiss (The Unrequited Series Book 1)In His Kiss by Ava Alise
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in The Unrequited Series. It is a beautifully written friend to lovers romance. The author does an amazing job with her character. You can’t help but fall in love with them. You can feel the love and connection between them from the first page. Both characters have drama and trials in their life’s but their constant has always been each other.

After a night drinking heavily things cross the line. They both confess their love for each other and you can feel the contentment and love between them through the authors writing. Could this be the start of a beautiful romance or will the cold light of day ruin everything?

This is one romance you won’t be able to put down. You are drawn into the characters story and at times you feel like banging their heads together because you know they are perfect for each other. Will they see that in the end?

Mariekkela: From Finland, with LoveMariekkela: From Finland, with Love by Stuart Ledwith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow I’m not sure where to start with this book. Every book I have read by Stuart Ledwith has been an eye opening read. They allow us insight and access to people’s stories that we never would have been able to experience. This book is about a amazingly brave woman. Marieekela had so much pain and heartache in her life and the things she experienced is enough to make anyone want to just give up. Marirrkela slowly grew and recovered to become a strong woman, who found love from the people who helped her.
At the end of the day though her heartache of losing the love of her life to war sees her finding no escape from the pain except to be with him.

The beautiful thing about this story is that once she has passed you really feel all the love from the people around her. We learn that when we pass our souls carry on and the hopefulness I felt when she is reunite with her love is amazing. For me personally it is a story of heartache and pain but also of love and hope that in the future we will be reunited with our loved ones.

This is a great paranormal story. It contains my favourite things vampires and werewolves and romance. The author does an amazing job with the characters. From their first meeting you get caught up in the connection between Tasha and Levi. Their connection is hot and passionate and the fact that it’s forbidden makes their feelings even stronger. How can something that feels so right be so wrong?
Their story has love and heartbreak when their summer ends and Levi and Tasha have to part and fight for their own species against each other.
You can feel the turmoil and the heartache this causes them both.
Can their love survive? Is their love the trigger needed to reunite their species after all the years of war or will they be punished for a love they feel is right. I was gripped from beginning to end and I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is amazing and touched my heart completely. As a mother with a healthy child I can only imagine the pain and heartache that accompanies a child with special needs. Marcia is incredibly brave opening herself wide open in this book, describing not only all her pain and feelings about the things her and her family have gone through but also providing practical steps and guidance for any parent going through the same thing.

This book is heartbreaking to read about Emma’s condition but also inspiring and full of hope at her parents strength and determination to give her the best life possible. This book is a must read for any parent who has a special needs child or for anyone who has connections to a special needs child because this helps explain a lot of things. The story of Emma and her family has touched my heart and is one I will never forget.

Her Blackened Rose (Blackened #3)Her Blackened Rose by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Blackened Series and I would suggest reading the first two to get a good feel for the characters. I love the mixture of fairy-tale and magic. What makes these books unique is that they are written from the view of the “villian” Lady Isra.

Lady Isra is a witch who tends to sway more towards the dark side of things. When she is brought back to life she spends time with her raven-man Astrid.
Astrid is the love of Lady Isra and in this book I feel that he has become more of a dark force in her life. However things and people aren’t what they seem and when secrets from the past collide with the future it’s hard to know what and who to trust. Add to this story Ronald who’s is seeking revenge for his brother Kane and Lady Isra disappearing and it makes for a packed adventure full of twists and turns that will keep you gripped and guessing all the way along.

This is the second book in the Blue Summer series and it was just as captivating as the first one. The magic and romance is still there as well as the lurking danger of Erius. The characters are so amazingly written. Each one of Lillie’s mates are unique and have different personalities but they all complement Lillie as if they were all parts that make up Lillie.

In this part of the story after Lillie escapes again from Erius’s evil clutches, she and her mates realise that Eruis won’t stop until they stop him. As they plan to go to battle Lillie finally gets her other mates which strengthen their bond completely. There are also secrets that are uncovered along the way which when revealed explain a lot about Lillie and the things that have happened that lead her to the Zayed.

The Earl's Scandalous WagerThe Earl’s Scandalous Wager by Wareeze Woodson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. It is a historical romance and as such the writing and the language reflect that. It was interesting to read a story that contains a lot of the social etiquette that was the normal in years gone by. The characters reactions to things and how they respond to situations were so different to how a person would respond in the present day and that all added to the charm of this book. The author does an amazing job of transporting you back to that time period and keeping you there.

I love the character of Emily. She starts out so scared and unsure when she is won in a game from her stepbrother. The person who wins her is  Lord Lenbridge. She knows nothing of this man but as the story progresses you feel her confidence and her love for him grown.
The little extra added into this story which makes it different to being just a romance is the element of danger that is present. Someone is out to get Emily, to ruin her life and destroy her marriage but who could it be? Could it be the jilted lover Phillip originally planned to marry? Or his family that don’t approve of their marriage? Or could it even be Emily’s step brother who has feelings for her that are strictly feelings between siblings? The story has you guessing to the end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a story that I really enjoyed. It is a captivating read that leaves you wanting more. I love the leading lady Vanessa. I love her determination to save her brother and her drive. She has been burnt by love in the past and is wearing the scars to prove it.

The 3 men we get introduced to in this story are very unique in their own right but they all have one thing in common. They see something special in Vanessa.

Grey is the Don of the underworld. He rules over the dead souls of people who have been bad in their life. He collects the souls and send them to be tortured forever. On his trip to renegotiate a contract he meets Vanessa. He doesn’t know why he’s drawn to her. Her soul is pure so definately not what he’s looking for but the pull won’t go away.
Reaf  has lived in the human world and has made his fortune there. He feels the attraction to Vanessa and is determined to prove that not all men are bad like her father.

And finally we have Aroz. He is an angel/cupid. But is he as angelic as he seems.

Vanessa finds her self in the middle of these brothers. All of them have different ideas about what and who she is and all of them have different reasons for being attracted to her but which one will be the right choice. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
