Grave Digger Academy IIGrave Digger Academy II by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this author for all they create and write, I have been reading books by them for quite some time now. This book installment in this specific series, was one I could not wait for! It was very much worth the wait!

I loved the first one with the paranormal aurora, the characters, and everything to do with the academy! This one I loved just as much. It was so awesome reading about MaKayla again and her friends, with studies and games to participate in, as well, as something less than kind is lurking in the academy walls. The book gave a lot of action, suspense, as well as intrigue. I couldn’t put this down, I was constantly wanting to know what would follow! I have always admired this author’s writing style, and how they bring the story to life. No confusion, everything makes sense and comes together well! Great installment to the series! Loved it!

Great addition to the series, and I cannot wait to see what will happen next! This series as well as author, does not disappoint! Very much recommend this book, series, and author! Must read on all accounts!

Notebook Mysteries Haunted ChristmasNotebook Mysteries Haunted Christmas by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved following Emma and her adventures for quite some time now. I personally loved this one. The change of weather in the book was very real and descriptive, plus holidays. And a mystery, How could I not love this latest mystery at hand for our dear Emma to solve?

As usual the author creates a mystery that is fun to solve, as well as, danger lurking around the corner the deeper you go. Emma was her usual self, but this time with holiday spirit at hand as well! I was wrong with the mystery, I thought I had t=it, nope was a bit off! This was a short adventure for our sleuth, but the story was full of intrigue, and clues that led to the conclusion! Loved the talk of Christmas decorations and cookies as well! I swear I could smell things baking in the oven! The author is very creative and quite good at weaving a tale of a mystery and strong development of characters in each book! Loved this one!

Never will tire of this wonderful author and Emma’s mysteries! I can never get enough of this series, its a wonderful collection! I highly recommend this book as well as the whole series! Must read all around!

I can never get enough of this author and all that they create and bring to life. This novel was no different. I enjoyed the complex level of emotions of the characters with this one. For sure, a worthwhile read.

I loved this one. I loved watching Beckett and Greer against one another. when their families, well collide. I loved Greer since her first introduction, and for Beckett, not so much at first glance. I loved the character development with him, and I changed my opinion of him. Underneath the ruthless skin there were emotions, and I mean a lot, and walls that were put up for a reason. I enjoyed the interactions with him and Greer. For sure, the book had a lot of realism and things we all can relate to. I love how this author brings issues that are faced every day and makes an emotional book come to life that is very much enjoyed! Loved this one!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a read that gripped my heart and held it till I reached the final word on the final page! I could not put this book down! It gave a lot, and made my mind wonder as well as be intrigued all the way through!

I was taken in with the story, I love the different characters that were a part of the novel. Each was different, but what made them different greatly added to the complex attire of the story! I love the dystopian aspect to the story as well, and seeing the world for what it was, in a different light. I very much enjoyed the author’s writing. I was completely taken back by how they created and brought the story to life. Impressed? Yes I was. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to book 21 Honestly I loved this book!

Great and thrilling read. Not one that is easy to put down. You connect with the story and characters, and you don’t want to let go. For sure a high recommendation from myself for this must read adventure!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great read, it had a fantasy aspect to it, as well as a strong realistic point of view. The author knew how to draw the reader in, and keep them there till the end. The book kept me interested, and made me wonder and reflect on a lot of things within myself. Enjoyed the build up character development as well.

I love how Hester had dreams and longings and only wanted to make them happen. Aaron, had issues he needed to work through, till he was feeling, well whole. i identify as a green witch, so I was head over heels with the talks of herbs and remedies that were talked about and used within the story! Loved that. It fit in nicely as well with the story! I loved how the story had realistic points of how we cannot hide from who we are, or what we have done. It makes us who we are. I found that intriguing and haunting both at the same time. Character development was strong and the story developed at a good pace. I was left wanting more by the time I reached the end! This was a great and very enjoyable read Personally, I loved it!

Great read by a author who knows how to craft and make a great story with characters come to life. I look forward to reading more by this author! This book alone is a must read. Defiantly a high recommendation!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I truly loved this book, as being an avid Sherlock Holmes lover and being born and raised in Chicago, I was very much drawn to this novel and all it gave. I loved the author’s writing and descriptive skills!

Emma was a wonderful lea heroine. Really loved her attributes and do or do do not, there is no try attitude. She was resilient and strong. A great role model in fact. I loved her quest for the truth no matter what it took! The book was a good read as the author really played on time frames and descriptive words. I felt I was transported to the time of this book and where it took place in Chicago. It was a trip I certainly enjoyed. The action fell short of nothing but the best. I was gripped and held and turning pages, felt I was aside Emma in her mystery beforehand trying to figure things out before it was too late! Wonderful, fun and light heart feeling read! I really enjoyed it! Look forward to reading more in the series and partaking in Emma’s adventures and mysteries! Loved it!

Hungry Business: A Gothic Story about the Horrors of Dating by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Hungry BusinessHungry Business by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a great and enjoyable read for me! First off I enjoyed the author’s writing style. I loved how they pin pointed details of such things in the world of how it was now, that often as readers we may have looked over or passed up.

I loved how the author made the dating world as it was, troublesome and agonizing at times. In this tale, the whole zombie thing had happened. I loved how companionship is till a must have, but to survive is also super valuable. I was pulled in deep as I read. I felt a lot, and reflected on things. The tale was full of intrigue and haunting in its own way. Loved it!

Great and interesting read Not one I would want to pass up for any reason. I really enjoyed it, as it was a short read, it was quick, but that doesn’t mean my enjoyment was short lived. As it was not! Highly recommend this must read book, as well as this author! Both are a must read for sure!

Sessrúmnir (Antipodes Series Book 5) by T.S. Simons – Review by Lorrene Huisman

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

I have been a loyal fan since the first book in this series, I knew the series coming to an end would make me feel things, but I did not expect to feel as much as I did! I was sad to depart from this wonderful journey with the characters I have watched grow and learn through each book, but it was a happy ending as well. loose ends were tied. The ending was heartfelt and full of emotion. It was beautiful!

To me, this was my favorite in the series. Not that it was the final book I would get to read for the first time…it was how my beloved characters were so developed mentally and emotionally. Whom they started as and who they became. They went through a lot…and I mean a lot! But that only made them stronger. This one was not short of action either when peace is disrupted with the ones you hold dear, I am sure any of us would have reacted the same as what happened in the book. Family is number one to me. I love how that is played through each of the book. This book had a lot of emotions as I have said, and part of that is letting go which was beautiful in its own way. The author wrote such an amazing series. That I loved so much. I cannot thank them enough for this journey I was put on because of them! I cannot wait till they start a new series which I am sure I will love as much as this one! Thank you to this wonderful and talented author!
This may be farewell Antipodes, but it is not good bye, more less, I ll re-visit you again later!

Wonderful conclusion to a very perfect and amazing series. I could not have asked for more, maybe a few more books as I didn’t want to let go! Highly recommend this book/series/author! A must read all around!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this author with all that exists within my soul! I love this series that they have created and brought to life. This one I found explained things I had wondered about, and everything tied together perfectly!

The book is an amazing read. If you want to enjoy a strong character development along with fantasy and action as well as paranormal, then this is a book not to be passed up! I must say start with the previous story in this series. I really loved getting Dexter’s story, his side of things, it was a fun imaginative read and it held me till I reached completion! I enjoyed Dexter, his character development on its own. Who he was in the past, is not who he is anymore in the present. I really valued his worth and how strong bis heart is and was. The book was gripping and full of intrigue! Loved it all the way through! Couldn’t put it down!

Love this author and all books that they create and bring to life. This was no different. Cant wait to read the next, as I know I am in for a treat as well! Highly recommend this must read book/series/author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a gem that was very much enjoyed all the way through! I was swept away with the easy flow of the author’s writing and how the characters were and how they developed by the end! Great read!

The book as I said had an easy flow, but it was not all candy and gum drops. There was a suspenseful side to the story as well. I really loved the chemistry and lustful moments between Kylee and Jayson. They were both different but when they were together there was no denying what was blooming between them. I enjoy stories where two people want to be together, really have to work towards that goal For these two there was a million reasons to stay apart, but how long could they fight it The character development between them was really deep and heartfelt.I felt I knew them all my life. Loved that the author did such a strong development with the story and the characters. I loved this book all the way through, I will be reading more by this author for sure, I cannot wait to binge what other creations of books they have written! Definitely a author I want to experience more of, their writing style was perfect!

Loved this book, it held me all the way through, and was a gripping read for more than one reason! I could not put this one down! For sure a must read on my list, and no doubt, a high recommendation from me!

I loved how each story was a true fight for survival, no matter which way they came. Each story had its own impact and resolution to see another day. I was hooked and intrigued all the way through.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I do love my paranormal books with a passion but this one really held its own. I was swept away with the story and the characters that it held. It was full of intrigue and moments you did not want to let go of.

I loved that this book focused on a supernatural detective agency. To me that was a golden find as I knew I was in for a treat learning that and the characters that info surrounded. Ava was a woman after my own heart. She had the personality that you do not see much in characters in paranormal books. She was strong minded as well. The book went at a fast pace and everything made sense, and there were no confusing moments. You read what you got. The book was magically amazing Impossible not to love!

I loved this book for all it held and contained. I can’t wait to read more! The book was great all the way through. I highly recommend this must read book! I highly say, do not pass this one up!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved this book series since book one. This one was certainly no different. I love the bond these characters have and all they face and over come together. Its beautiful and magical in its own way.

This book was a strong read all the way through. Of course the drama and stuff the characters face were heart wrenching as well as heart warming at the same time. A character faced something I would think we all dread. But the awesome people you have by your side really can make a difference. That is what this bond was. They stuck together and worked through stuff, it was powerful. A really good read. Loved it.

This author is a really powerful writer. I love this series with a passion. I am so happy I am able to indulge and enjoy these books and characters. For sure a must read and a high recommendation from myself!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love books that make you think and your mind wander as you read through them, This book did just that. I felt a lot for the characters and the story that surrounded them. The book immersed me and intrigued me!

First off I loved the eerie sense of this book. Bax was such a character that had a lot of heart that you could easily feel for and connect to.through out the story. His friends were connectable as ewll,. I loved how realistic the story was and how easily you can picture yourself in the characters shoes. Something else I loved was the wish making part of the story, we are all vulnerable at times, and sometimes something as a wish granting thing can change it for the better or very much fool us and take advantage. The story was gripping and held me tight as I read. Its something everyone would enjoy I would say. I personally loved it!

The book was such a good and compelling read. I was hooked and immersed all the way through. I could not put this don. Needless to say, a very much high recommendation from me for this must read book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love to read a book that goes into the story of who the author is, who they were, and how they became who they are now. This book was beautiful, inspiring, and enlightening. I was not able to put it down till I reached its completion as I read. I was very moved by the words that came to life as I read!

To explain the depth of all this book possesses, I can only tell you that you need to read it to envision and feel the what this author lived through and endured. From things she witnessed to events she had to go through, it was not all sugar and lollipops. I enjoyed reading her feelings and emotions as she became who she is, The book was more than a memoir to me, it was a truly heart opening and inspiring motivational read. I cried at times, everything felt so real. The beauty of this book was more than just words, you really felt everything. This author put everything out there, and allowed the reader to be a part of their most sincere and private moments. Nothing was more inspirational and beautiful to me! I loved this so much!

I personally thank this author for all that they gave when writing this memoir. A thank you doesn’t justify enough, but know I was touched as I read. This a must read for sure, and a very high recommendation.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the first book in this series! So of course I had to get my own paws on this beloved gem. I love animals, and cats are very special to me, so of course reading this and hearing about the cats in the story and around the protagonist warms my heart completely! This second installment does not disappoint at all.

We have our fan favorite Ellie back with another mystery in her cat cafe at hand. I loved how her personality and ability to be as curious and inquisitive as she was in the first, was just as strong in this book! This book I found was a quicker pace than the first, as we knew the main characters and some of the felines, and I found the story took different turns than I expected, I was very much immersed in the story and wondering what would happen next! Could not put it down! I was hooked! Love this book and this wonderful author!

The series appeals to me as I do love cats, and I love a good cozy mystery. I love when an author takes all your personal favorite things and makes a book off them! Highly recommend this must read book and author!

I have been a fan of this author for quite some time now. I really enjoyed this new series, the story was full of realistic moments, characters you cheered for, and moments that made your heart tender

I loved the story how it had its ability to be sweet more than once throughout the story Jake was a great guy. He had a heart of gold, who just wanted to find the person who would complete him. His heart made him who he was and I really admired that. I related to Lauren a lot. She had walls, for reasons she felt were justified. I loved her and Jake together, they had so much chemistry, and to me they were meant for one another. Sometimes fate has plans. such as their blind date. I love as usual, the author’s writing style and how the book weaves with the story! I enjoyed it very much! Loved it!

The story was amazing and heartfelt. I could not put it down. I can’t wait to read more in the series! This book alone is a must read for sure, and with no doubt, a high recommendation from this reader!

This book truly topped the WOW factor! I love a good action thriller, but this one really blew my expectations really! The book was a quick read, and not a dull moment in my reading! I was highly invested!

Tegan Stone was wonderful female lead characters. I admired her ability to be strong, touch, and intelligent as she was, She had that never give up attitude. I loved how she handled her mission, and what shocked me was leading to the end, where her mission led to questions that made it difficult to complete her mission for what it was. I loved the writing style of the author, how they created a quick fast read that was amazing from start to finish! I could not put this down to the end! The suspense was too much to stop! Loved it!

The book was amazing and pumped full of action and suspense that I did not hesitate to love! I cannot wait to read more by this author and partake in Tegan’s adventures! Highly recommend this must read!!

Ashali and the Blue Horseman by Jordan Elizabeth – Review by Lorrene Huisman

I simply loved reading this book, it had action, those super hero moments where your cheering from your seat as you read, girl power moments, tender moments, and anything else you would want in a super hero book! The author did an amazing job creating this story and bringing it to life!

I love a good super hero book. A hero fighting against those who mean wrong This one was off the wall amazing! Loved the character personality of Ashali and how she started off in the book, and whom she was by the completion of it. It was a fun read, full of action and moments where I laughed and smiled! Chase was a great “side kick” character as well! I really enjoyed how the story went and the development of the plot. The author impressed me with their creativity and how they brought the story to life! Loved it!

This was a very entertaining read that intrigued me all the way through! I did not want to stop reading, I constantly needed to know what would happen next! The author is a must read, hands down and really knew how to pull the reader in! A high recommendation for a book from myself, a must read for sure!

I cannot say anything but amazing things about these assortment of stories! Each one had its own way of being what it was, and each was mesmerizing in its own shape or form. I enjoyed reading these, and the feeling that came with me as I read!

I especially felt triumphant with reading C.A King’s story in this assortment of stories! I loved the feelings I read as I read. It was deep and emotional, but the triumph it had, was very uplifting. It makes you feel hope, as we do in life even when life is at its darkest. This story really spoke to me for all that it possessed. A well wroth read! It was one that stuck with me!

The others were amazing as well. I read them all, each one though different, had a magical spell about them on what they possessed. Beautiful in every which way! Loved these stories!
Amazing collection of stories! Very much a well worth reading! Highly recommend this must read!

Is a truth they already know but they refuse to accept? Not only will these answers change their happy life but it will define these characters not just for the time being but forever…again the writing was gripping and kept you immersed to what could, and what would happen next! I truly loved it with all my heart and soul!

I have been hooked on this series since the first novel in the series was released in the Antipodes series, Each installment has left me with more and more wants, questions, and the need to know what will happen next plus with the events that happen will it impact the wonderful characters I have grown such an attachment to and what and how will this affect them? Is a truth they already know but they refuse to accept? Not only will these answers change their happy life but it will define these characters not just for the time being but forever…again the writing was gripping and kept you immersed to what could, and what would happen next! I truly loved it with all my heart and soul!

Amazing novel and characters again . Seriously every time, every novel, I’m pulled more into the rabbit hole and no want to return to where I once was! High recommendation to this book, series, and author! Fore sure, all put together is a must read, and I seriously say none of that bundle is something to be passed up!

In Plain Sight (Logan McKenna Mystery Series Book 8) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Lorrene Huisman

In Plain Sight: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 8In Plain Sight: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 8 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved the amazing books that this author creates for some time now, and this author never disappoints me in all that they write. They weave a story that grips you, and intrigues as you read, and leaves you wanting more! I was hooked completely as I read through! The book was amazing!

This author created such an astonishing thriller, and one that shakes your soul as you read. The characters were very connectable, and I was very much invested in them and the mystery and story that was a hand. What I loved about Logan and the mystery was that the build up was quite dire. When things were found, so were more things, and things kept building. Danger was everywhere. You needed eyes everywhere, I felt my heart beat fast quite a few times as I read. I felt I was alongside Logan as I read. The story was perfectly done and full of its ability to be realistic! This was a well worth reading! I cannot say enough good things!

Again, this author never disappoints me with the griping books that they create and bring to life. This one takes the cake though! Highly recommend this book, and the author as well! A must read all around!
