Walker Pride (The Walker Family Series Book 1) by Bernadette Marie – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Walker Pride (The Walker Family, #1)Walker Pride by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great start to a series. This story definitely has some twists and turns I did not see coming. The plot flowed so easily in this book. I love the chemistry between Susan and Eric, even though Eric is a bit set in his ways and stubborn, there is not denying their attraction. When a Walker family member passes away, there are family secrets that come out…..and I was shocked on some things that do happen (I wont give them away). This was a easy read and and I did not want the story to end!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am a huge YA fan, and enjoyed this YA psychological thriller. Talk about creepy, the convent is hiding secrets……. or so you think. I enjoyed the characters, my heart aches for Paloma and her past with her dad. The character, Rubia, boy oh boy, when you think she is trying to have open arms and befriend Paloma, whom is new, Rubia is manipulative, and you catch on in the story. Only part that I am on the fence is the ending, I wanted more and it felt a bit abrupt. Overall a very good story with lots of twists and turns.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is just so full of emotion. Page Turner with ups, downs and definitely a few tears from me.
The love between Lucca and Lexi….undeniable. The strength that SJ Molloy puts into Lexi’s characters is just amazing. Lexi no doubt is a survivor and a very strong woman. Lucca…oh Lucca, my heart!!! This series is just fantastic and this book is just as amazing as the other books!! Its one heck of a roller coaster ride, so hold on and have some tissues ready too. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great story. I loved the 6 characters and their unique paranormal abilities. Amber, Vlad, Fiona, Sakana, Devlin and Lily are friends whom had different abilities from shifters, a witch, a vampire and even a werewolf :). These friends are learning how to use their abilities and go through the struggles like any adolescent student would, just the paranormal type. I loved the little bit of mystery included in the book as well. The story flowed and was truly a easy read. This book can be enjoyed by the young and old. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can I say, what a ride! This series I am so emotional over and this continuation of the story is definitely no exception. There is just so much raw emotion and the story sucks you in. Lucca and Lexi continue to grow as a couple, and the roller coaster of this relationship….wow! Lexi’s step brother, gosh, he is just …… his character is scary to me. SJ Molloy really captures each character and continues the Lucca and Lexi legacy in my heart so wonderfully!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I do not read many Historical Genre book, but I am glad to read this one. It brought me out of my comfort zone. The story is great. I had a hard time at first keeping the characters of whom is who, but quickly kept the characters all straight. Nothing like wanting to have horses and being a charioteer myself! I liked Tiwatipara’s character and my heart dealing with a family tragedy, my heart ached for Tiwatipara. Sometimes friends are not all what they seem…..the story is very good with some twists and mystery and looking forward to reading more of this series.

Bake Believe by Cori Cooper – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Bake BelieveBake Believe by Cori Cooper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a lot of fun to read. Who wouldn’t love a story that also includes yummy sweet recipes as well after each chapter? This story has fantastic characters that we can all relate to. What can go wrong when you are told by your mom NOT to bake? Story had some middle school/high school drama (of course) of how appearances are everything to young adults as well as a boy crush (and I know we all have been there at some point or going to be there if you are a young reader). I loved that this story also had mystery as well on why Cat is not allowed to bake and the reason. This is a cute, mysterious story for all to read. I highly recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Bovine Tricks (Royals Gone Rogue Book 1) by Seelie Kay – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Bovine TricksBovine Tricks by Seelie Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There is no doubt this book is very different and interesting at the same time. Trying to visualize what a truly “Hucow”would be, I liked that the author did explain what a Hucow was. This story was unique, very different and entertaining for sure. Characters Abdul and Tillie were hired to find Lady Annabelle Trask and having the story that being abducted and possibly being thrown in to this fantasy world to be changed into an animal, this story has twists, turns and is pure entertainment.

Flowers in December AUDIO BOOK by Jane Suen – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Great story…. pulled at my heart strings. No doubt this story makes you think of the “what if’s” in life. The story was heart felt from a lonely man and trying to process his thoughts and grief. The voice of the narrator really pulled me in right from the beginning. The story was great and looking forward to continuing this series to see how Conner’s character evolves. 💜💜💜💜💜

Everything, SomewhereEverything, Somewhere by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very Good Read. I really liked the stories behind Hudson, Mason, and Willow and their different struggles and how different each character is growing up and coming around the corner of adulthood. I really liked how the story also unfolds with Bruce’s character as well especially the connection with Hudson, Mason, and Willow. There is definite deep issues within the story along with mental health triggers that really pull at you. This story is very well written and I recommend this book.
