Whisper creek

Valerie Davisson

In this installment we once again join Logan in a hunt for answers, finding the body of a woman and discovering the lady is a step-mom of a student. This character, Logan, is by now an old friend. I encourage readers to read all in the series, and you will agree with me. This series is one of my favorites. Writer Valerie Davisson is now and always will be one of my favorites, her writing style is very easy to follow, and she always leaves us wanting more.

Book 3 in Heron Harbor series. Author Lea Nolan, in each of these books has taken a set of characters from the back seat of the story line to the front. I like the way we get the repeating characters and yet we get new information and story lines with each book. The author does a good job at tying it all in together and holds our interest with each book. Every reader I think will enjoy these books.

Author Sirena paints a vivid picture in the telling of this story. I enjoyed reading this book as it is a gripping story. The ending was shocking, however I should have seen it coming. Still a truly gripping story and the original was it was written, with excerpts from the transcript added a lot to the way it read. I highly recommend this book!!

Author Amy Mckinley is one of my favorite authors, she always takes us places we all want to be in such detail. Not all of us get the chance to visit other countries and reading is one of the easiest ways to do that. This is why I like authors that can transport us there without much effort. It is one of the reasons why I love to read, she gives us such a sense of being there and adding great characters along the way just add to our enjoyment.

By
Everly Taylor

In this book Lillie finds that she is happy living with the Zayed and learning all about their lifestyles. The love scenes are very well written as is the whole book. Everly Taylor does a good job with both of these books, she paints a good picture of a fantasy world. I recommend you read book 1 first so you will understand what is happening because book 2 starts at the end of the first book and can leave you lost if you haven’t read the first one.

Is a Paranormal romance that mixes humans and Zayeds. Mixing two worlds. It doesn’t always go well. Lillie’s life takes a huge turn very quickly. All in all these kinds of books are my favorite kind of stories, a very quick 48 hours in one person’s life and everything changes. Helps us remember how life can change in a blink of an eye. Good story. I recommend this book.

The Devoted Fan
Book 5
21st Century Courtesan series
By Pamela DuMond

In this the last book of the series we get to find out what happens to Evie, as the story that started in book 1 is tied together and we see that she has her “happy ending”. I don’t think that any of us could predict what happened in this book. For that reason alone made the book series a must read for all. Author Pamela DuMond, had twists and turns in each book that kept us thralled in each story until the end. I highly recommend each book, and a must read in order to fully get the story line.

Jake the Growling Dog Goes to Doggy Daycare is an adorable children’s book, perfect for ages 3-7. This book follows Jake and his best friend Neet, as he leaves home and stays in a doggy daycare for the first time. Shannon’s book touches a wide range of emotions throughout this book with Jake, and also includes helpful tips included in the back of the book. Written in couplets, this book a fun and easy read, and will instill a love of poetry in children at a young age. If you work in pre-k though first grade, this book would be perfect for your class.

The Husband is book 4 in the 21st Century Courtesan series. I have not read the first books so I am sure that I lost some of the history of the characters. However, this book is still really well written and I love the main character Evie. She, like many people in real life, has a hard time figuring out who she loves, and who she is. However the ending does lead into the next book which I will be looking forward to reading. I highly recommend this book.

Everything Somewhere is a story about a small town and the people in it. When a famous person chooses to move there it shakes the town and the people’s lives up. This story shows how little towns make people feel and how strangers often have similar lives even when they are from different backgrounds. Everything Somewhere is a really good story and I recommend you read it for your self.

This is book 3 and as in the last 2 books, author Suzanna Lynn does not disappoint, this book ties in the Beauty and the Beast story, mixing it with other fairy tale characters.

Author Suzanna Lynn likes to put a new spin on traditional Fairy tales. This story adds new life to an old tale, little red riding hood, the difference is in this story we get to learn how Hook finds the ash. Also we meet Rapunzel. Enough said, however because I encourage you to read the book actually I encourage you to read both the first one and this one. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
This author is very talented. You won’t be disappointed!!

This is the untold story about Captain Hook and how he got the name Captain Hook and why he doesn’t like Peter Pan. For fans of Peter Pan and Captain Hook this is a must read. I love books that fill in the blanks, it gives us another way to look at the history between the two characters.
At first his name is James Shaw but during the story he changes his name to Captain Hook, this story explains why this happens and why he sets out to find Pan.
This is a very good story. I encourage everyone to read this.

Jordan’s Shadow is my first book by this author, this story is one of a kind, for some it may be hard to read, for me it is enthralling, captivating, emotional. Needless to say I loved it! I love how different it is and how unexpected the ending was. The commitment and patience of Hunter and Monte throughout the book is what kept me going. The one thing I love about reading is the way stories can take you to another world. It isn’t very often that you find people in the real world like them. I highly recommend this book!

Nicole and Kris are a married couple with two kids, this is not your typical love story, in the way that these two start out married and stay married. It is a story about a journey the two take and how they change. Finding themselves and improving their marriage. This is my first book by this author and my first love story of this kind. All in all I was sucked in right away and it held my attention throughout the book. Mostly because it was a different kind of love story. I highly recommend this book. It is a refreshing change.

This is a new author for me, and a genre that I don’t dive into much,however this book is worth the chance. A very well written book with developed characters that keep you reading and guessing what the next page brings. The characters, Seth,Sarah, Miriam,Peter all of them kept the story moving along well. This author took her time developing the plot and her writing style will keep you coming back for the next book. Or any other book she has written. I highly recommend this book.
