By: Heather Silvio
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Season Finale (Paranormal Talent Agency Book 6) by Heather Silvio is the next exciting book in a series that I have loved ever since reading the first book. The series takes place in Las Vegas and includes supernatural creatures as well as humans. I loved reading about television reporter Elizabeth “Liz” Addison and Antonio “Tony” DiMaio. If you ask Tony, he will tell you that Liz is beautiful, intelligent, and stubborn. That is when he is not flirting with her. Tony is handsome and a were-panther. Liz, Tony, and the rest of the Paranormal Talent Agency are up against a time-traveling ghost. Tony is put in the line of fire. Will they be able to save him? What does the future hold for Tony and Liz? Read this book to find out. This book has suspense, danger, mystery, and romance. It had me turning pages to find out what happens. I was familiar with Liz as she appears in the other books in the series. I was happy that she got her own story. You can feel the romantic energy that goes on between Liz and Tony. I was rooting for them to find happiness. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story with amazing characters. I highly recommend both the book and the series.

By: Michele Sims
5 out of 5 stars

The story Act II. Playing with Fire (Moore Family Saga Book 2) by Michele Sims is a book that I loved reading. It is the next story in a series that is entertaining and had me hooked from the very beginning. I loved reading about the many characters in the story. Cade and Lecia Moore are a couple that loves each other very much. Even if there are disagreements or conflict their true emotions/feelings for each other shine through. Miles is a child that I would consider very mature for his age. He also is showing signs of a rare genetic mutation that allows him to produce and use fire. He is very talented and at times, however, show a side of himself that could be considered dark. Cade and Lecia are parents who love Miles very much and want what is best for him. They do all that they can to find care for him at a facility that understands his condition. This story has characters many of which are family members. The story is multi-generational. I also enjoyed reading about Vincent, Cade’s brother who helps take care of Lecia and Miles when Cade is on tour. Cade is also very protective of Lecia and Miles. He is determined to keep them safe. Read this book for the ongoing story into the lives of the Moore’s. There are parts of this book that I found myself wondering what was going to happen next. There are also parts that are emotional. The story does include some romantic scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. Don’t miss out on a book that you won’t want to put down until you have read the final page. Highly recommended.
