Competing with the StarCompeting with the Star by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in this series, and very enjoyable and I love YA genre books. I had to keep in mind that this is high school teens and their stories. This book is about High School crushes, loves, drama and betrayal all wrapped up in one. Hadley finally is happy in a new school and has a boyfriend, Nick. Hadley is not totally secure on her looks or friendships and Nick is very sweet guy….but they have such a great relationship and also friendship building in this story. There is heartbreaking betrayal with Nick and one of Hadley’s friends, Simone. Will Hadley and Nick’s relationship survive on an ultimate betrayal?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Great book with lots of action. If you love stories with witches, vampires and magic like I do this book is for you. I really enjoyed Hunter’s side of this book. Hunter was granted his powers and needs to know how to use them as he is a strong leader against the evil him and his friends are against. The story just flowed and the characters are fantastic. There were twists and turns throughout the book that keep you at the edge of your seat. This is my first book of Author Tricia Copeland’s and looking forward to going back and reading some more of her work as this book was truly fantastic! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holy Wow, what did I just read! Yes, a fantastic book for sure. This story just sucks you in right from the beginning. The story of Samantha Wycoff, whom just endures every mother’s nightmare, her son was beaten and passes. The plot of revenge against Thomas’ girlfriend, Velvet Flores, should be sinister. We have then Micah come into the picture, Thomas’ friend, help Samantha grieve but then plot the revenge on Velvet. There were some twists and turns to get to an end result, but will the revenge on Thomas’ death be a reality or fail? You definitely have to read this book, it is fantastic. I would LOVE to see a sequel in this story.

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

Even though this book is just a selection of short stories, I so enjoyed each and every one. The first story of “Grits Girl” just totally made me smile over a girl who her grits and got a happy ending. The second story of “The Accident” was heartfelt. Adeline taking care of her after an accident. The third story of “In the end of summer” was fantastic. A young man hitch hiking a ride to Virginia and meets another man and his son. The story was heartfelt over a carnival and how Mike comes to terms to have a conversation with his son about his mother. The Bonus story of “Pick Me” totally made me smile from beginning to end and and at the end you find out what was “picked”. All these short stories were fantastic. This is an easy read and just wonderful! Well done Author Jane Suen!

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

I started reading this memoir during vacation, and took my time to read this book. There were moments that made me sit back and think….the book was descriptive and was very good. This memoir tore at my heart strings as looking at Mary Gregory’s life, growing up with a deformity and hardships. This hit me a bit, while my own mild deformity differed, I can relate and overcome like Mary. We then learn of Mary’s mom having mental health issues and her father as a preacher coming out, with many ups and downs. This is truly a journey….and many pieces to this memoir but it was a very good read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can I just say I LOVE Author Amy McKinley’s Deadly Isles series!!! I am just so invested. This is book 3 of this series and does not disappoint. This is the story of Malina and Ty. Malina was sent to the States by her parents to live and be safe with her aunt and uncle, and just in the nick of time… Ty and Malina hook up in Vegas for some fun, but deep down Ty knew Malina was this one for him. Years later Malina is being accused of treason….and she flees to Ty’s house to be safe and to find out whom is framing her for treason. Ty is there to help find out whom framed Malina. I just love this whole story, Ty and Malina’s love for each other and did not want this book to end. There were a few twists I did not see coming! I highly recommend reading this series from the beginning as you also get to know Ty’s brothers, Jaxon and Xander as well. This is truly a fantastic series!!!

Jeremy Full of GraceJeremy Full of Grace by Greta Cribbs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is very…….unique. A plaque devastated most of the population but there is Jeremy, a 17 year old boy whom is pregnant. This story grasps you to believe there is truly miracles that can happen. The different points of views between Jeremy, Leslie, and Ruth really captivating. The very small town really believed this “miracle” would truly be the hope they are looking for. One of my true favorite lines in the book was “I don’t know if things are going to get better or worse from here, but no matter what comes, remember that God is with you.” I think this would stick with me for sure especially in real life.

Wow, this book……I cannot seem to get it out of my mind. The book has 2 main character POVs of Jameson and Pete. Their stories intertwine and it really keeps you thinking and on your toes. The suspense of an arsonist, burning and death….. the words of this book are detailed with every page. Just when I thought the book was wrapping up with the ending, BAM……something else hits you. This book had me hook since the beginning and moments where my jaw dropped completely. This is a very good psychological thriller!

Hell In A Handbasket (Life is Hell #3)Hell In A Handbasket by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just absolutely loved this book and I am so invested in this series. This is Teivel and Oren’s story and you do meet them in the 1st two books. At first, I was not sure about Teivel, he is brash, but I fell in love with his character in this book. Oren and Teivel should not be together, since one is a demon hunter and one is a demon, but they couldn’t be more perfect. The “bundle of joy” so to speak, was surprising, in a good way. I also love how Author Naomi Valkyrie continues this series and includes the other characters in the books as well. It is truly like one big paranormal family and I am so all in! If you love paranormal with some mystery and romance…definitely check this series out and I recommend you reading them in order! Happy reading!

If I could give a million stars I would, I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book!!!! It was definitely a book I could not put down. Dr. Sarah Lynde’s character is strong and bad azz in many ways. She is a provider to her two children and balances being a professor. When she meets Lt. James McAllister at her speaking engagement, I knew there would be sparks. Boy oh boy was I right. The story unfolds when they get together there is so much sizzling heat. James is torn between what he wants and what is right in front of him. There are many ups and downs between James and Sarah when it comes to matters of the heart and feelings. What does James? You will have to read and find out. The ending….AHHHH … I need book 2 ASAP :).

I absolutely loved this story of Liam & Kendall. At first Liam’s cold approach toward Kendall was a bit icy, but then Kendall started to show Liam the good he has in him. While the story unfolds. You understand why Liam is so cold & driven to perfection. No doubt these two together made for some very hot scenes once they both let their guard down especially Liam. Definitely 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

I love lycans and vampire stories and this book is up my alley and just fantastic!!! Levi and Tasha are sworn enemies, or they should be, but fate brought them together. I loved the chemistry and their love for each other even when they had to be careful since being together is totally forbidden. Together to defeat common enemy and that Coven leader…….screaming in my head I wanted myself to protect Levi and Tasha….. What a great book and totally page turner!! Definitely definitely recommended!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fun book to read and quite surprising. I just love Vampire Lawyer Donovan Trait and his “air” about him how he comes across in the courtroom. Then there is this suspense on whom is starting to kill lawyers including Donovan (or they are trying). The book has some twists on the mindset on whom is responsible and I love every word of this book. I also loved the sweet romance between Donovan and Shirley (whom is a judge). I am really hoping for another book in this series by the author. This book is a great read.

I was not sure what to expect at first when I started reading this book. I was pleasantly surprised, this book is really good! If anyone knows me, they know I love YA books. I really enjoyed this YA/Sci Fi story. To me, it is a story I never read anything like before. Meeting Andy Brand at the beginning just has my heart. Andy is kidnapped and questions arise as to why? Who would kidnap a boy in high school? You learn quickly nothing is as it seams, and there is definitely many twists, lies and turns in this story. He wants to protect “Kind” and help others, you read to see what happens next. Very good read…..

How far would you go to save a loved one? Would you sign a contract with The Don of the Underworld as a Life for a Life? This book definitely has its steamy moments but there is also a mystery as well to it. This story of Vanessa, whom meets Grey, Raef and Aroz. No doubt they find beauty in Vanessa and she is mortal. Vanessa’s brother, Piper, is sick and all she wants is her brother to live and be healthy, would she make a deal in order for her brother to live? Raef wants to help with a more natural approach but when Vanessa finds out the powers that Grey has….hmmm….Then we have Aroz, I cannot want to find out what he has in store as well. I believe all 3 men are hot as sin no doubt. I am so on Team Raef. I cannot wait to read the other books in the series to find out what happens next. This book for me was hard to put down!!
