Devil’s Breath by Lang Johnson – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Devil's BreathDevil’s Breath by Lang Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book for so many reasons, I could not put it down to say the least! Full of action, suspense, and of course that seductive chemistry we all crave. The author knew exactly how to pull the reader in, and hold us there, the book was very well written, and hit all the right elemental keys!

I do love a good suspenseful book. This one certainly took the cake. I truly did admire Sera, she was a strong minded and an assassin you do not mess with. I seen a lot of character development with her, as the story went on. I didn’t think I could admire her more, but I did! I loved the chemistry with her and Cassius. Their chemistry was very much fireworks and seductive all at once. I loved this book, I was on the edge of my seat with how the book would turn out, with all its twists and turns. Stuck between two men dear to you, do you choose family over love? If you seek the answer I did, I suggest you read this book too! The book is more than a well wroth read! I freaking loved it from beginning to end!

A very much perfect read. It had everything I wanted, and I truly enjoyed this book with a passion. I seriously loved this book and the author’s writing style. Highly recommend this must read book!

Squid (Moto X Book 5)Squid by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved this author for some time now for all the work and beauty they create when they write. I was hooked upon this latest installment in the series. It was great and full of the things I love that this author can do and create in all they write. It was a good read that I surely enjoyed!

I really loved the relationship build between Levi ad Kindle. Their time together was far from easy, and to get to certain points they really had to work hard at it. I mean Levi went through a lot of character changes, and his change in himself was very realistic, and I very much admired that. I loved the side of Kindle that was strong, but could melt at certain things that Levi could be. I loved their moments together, none of it was easy, and they say good things in life you have to work hard for it, and in which they did over and over again but, not right away. I loved how real the characters were and the story was. I had emption all over, and felt so much. All in all, I loved this read and enjoyed every moment of it!

Wonderful read and great addition to the series by a very talented author. The author certainly knows how pull the reader in and hold them there. Highly recommend this book, a definite must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This one was a TRULY good read. I loved how real this book was. It was not your average rom com. You got to see the whole picture with this story. There was more to it than just the two people that were dating. I really loved that about this one. The realism factors were off the charts.

Something I loved about this book, was that I picked up on nothing is going to be exactly how you want it to be, but hey, you make it work to be the best you can be! There will always be something you want to work on or change, but that’s life. And again, the realism was wonderful. Bree was a great character; she was so human and heartfelt. I felt for her as I read and trying to juggle everything for her happiness and well keeping everyone happy. The book really connected to me sucked me in. I really felt emotions as I read, and I could not be happier about finding this wonderful book and enjoying as I did.

Amazing book from start to finish. I for sure will be reading more by this wonderful author. This book alone is a must read for so many reasons. Very high recommendation from yours truly.

Such a damn good read! I loved this one! This author always steps up their game in all they do and write! This amazing book was certainly no different! I was hooked and, the character development was absolutely freaking perfect! I really enjoyed this one in the MC universe the author creates!

What I loved on this one, was to me, it was strikingly different. The characters were full of different things. Not saying all was butterflies or hardships. They felt real things, and they had to be respected for being, well, real! Warf and Raven were awesome. They had their own dynamic sense to them. I really felt emotions for them both. Like really connected in different ways with the two of them and felt so much. As I read, I fell more in love with this book. The character development was defiantly there and the whole overcoming darkness I would say. I loved this book so freaking much! I need to read it again ha-ha.

Amazing writing as always from this amazing author. I enjoy all the books they write. This one was just as amazing as the others. Highly recommend this book and author! Seriously you must not pass it up!

The True Garza (Red Cage, #3)The True Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book really brought on the WOW factor truly. It brought on emotions and feelings I was able to pick up between the characters. I was really invested into everything as I read, I was surprised at times and the tense moments really held my gip. The book was amazing start to finish!
The characters London and “The True Garza” both really brought a lot to the table. Garza had stuff from his past he had walls up over and issues that came to be because of his past. Lonny was a woman who was strong wiled. Despite her strength, sometimes we all need somebody. I loved that despite how much they really needed one another, they both had to work through scars and stuff they had endured to get to that point. The story was captivating and there was a lot of things learned through the insight f these two characters I was not sure how the book was going to turn out, sometimes no matter how bad you want something, pulling at that line certainly does not work out. I was very captivated and had my emotions all over as I read. I could not put this one down! Loved this book and the words it possessed!
Amazing book from start to finish! More than a well worth read. I highly recommend it. I would also recommend the others in the series prior to this one. This author is very skilled at all that they create and write. It is seriously a must-read book, and I do very much recommend it with all my heart!

Coyote’s Road Trip by Laura Koerber – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Coyote's Road TripCoyote’s Road Trip by Laura Koerber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was more than a well worth read. I was fascinated by the story and what the story came to be. It was something different compared to most stories that are considered dystopian. None the less, I was very intrigued and enjoyed myself as I read.

Coyote was a character that really was captivating. What he was and is was the matter to describe. A spirit, but belonging and self discovery was the mode he was in. I was very much intrigued as he went on his journey, he passed others and met others, all were connected I found in this thing called life. The book and adventure was eye opening. The things we need to survive we often take for granted, and this book very much showed me not to take the small things for granted in life. Beautiful story!

This story was very heart felt to me. I very much enjoyed it It was a fast paced read for me, and I could not put this one down. I highly recommend this story, don’t pass it up, it is a rare and beautiful read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a good book! I loved this book from start to finish. I was captivated with the characters and everything that they brought to the table. There was a heavy duty of emotions with this book as I read, and not in ways I expected there to be.

The book was more than a well worth read. II felt for Grace in so many ways. She was a fighter in the ring sure, but outside I would say she could do those punches just a well. She took many hits in her life too. None the less, none of that ever stopped her from living or chasing what she wanted. I really admired that. She had a lot on her plate through out my reading and I really felt how she was doing everything and trying to live this thing called life. I really wanted to reach in and hug her tight! Despite that the side characters help make her life and this story come full circle. Every character for me brought a different depth and I loved and appreciate all of them for who they were. The story was captivating and beautifully written. This is one that will stay with me for some time with no doubt.

The book was superb from start to finish. I could not read fast enough to see where each page and sentence would lead to. I loved it truly. It was beautiful in so many ways. I highly recommend this must-read book, give this book a chance, I know it’s a diamond in the rough that should not be passed up on any account!

Thorfinn and the Witch's Curse (The Forerunner Series #1)Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was mesmerizing with it’s story line as well as the details it held. I was truly captivated with the adventure as well as the mythical components and legends of the Vikings. I was captivated and the author knew exactly how to keep the reader enticed as they read on! Loved this read!

Personally I loved the fine details that made me feel I was in the setting it self that the story takes place in. The ways of the people and the legends that are spoken of, it was very real. I really loved those components. I really enjoyed Finn’s coming of age as well! Finn came off to me as a sweet character at first glance, seeing what he went through in this adventure, really shaped his character growth. He was a character you rotted for through out the novel. The book was very hard to put down and captivating thoroughly in more ways than one! For sure, I am very much looking forward to the next in the series!

Amazing series that is a “legend” of a read! Not one to be passed up at any costs! I highly do recommend this must read book! It truly holds its appeal and captivation upon its reader! Loved it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book really gave me all the feels, it tugged at my heart strings as I read, and I really felt a lot for the characters the story circled around. I found the characters grew into something nice as the story went on, and the suspense, it was very real, and the power this book possessed was very genuine!

This was a new author for me. Certainly will not be my last book to read by them. This book literally swallowed me whole. And would nit provide a separation until I had finished it. The writing was amazing, as I said I was held until the end. There was a lot of action going on from things being dangerous and life threatening, and not really knowing how things would turn out. The book was very un-predictable. I really felt for the two characters Wyatt and Selena. Especially Selena. Her past made her who she was today, and who she would become. The moments these two shared were very intimate and sweet in a special way. It was nice to see they had each other’s backs as well as their character growth. The book was a great read and one I truly enjoyed, it was a book that really put everything in the line, and succeeded!

Amazing author and truly amazing writing! The story came together very nicely. I found there was really no plot holes and the story flowed at a good pace as well as held your interest to the fullest. I am glad I got to experience this book. I loved it truly! I highly recommend this read as it is for sure a must read!

Everything to Me (Playing for Keeps Book 2)Everything to Me by Lauren Fraser
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have enjoyed books this author has written. I really felt the connection with this none though. The characters really came to life with everything that was going on in their lives, and were all connectable in some way, shape, or form. I really enjoyed this one and growing with the characters! Amazing writing!

I do love my sports, so of course I enjoyed the play of sports used as a connection barrier sort to say in this wonderful book. I loved the chemistry between Kendall and Pete. I found Pete had a lot of character growth through out the book, with his mind heart, and personality. Kendall was a awesome character you could feel her attraction to Pete, but yet at the same time the care for her brother she didn’t want to mess up her relationship with him or Pete’s friendship with him. The book was a deep dive of emotions, and really made me feel things. It was a great read! To put into simple words, I freaking loved it!

Again, to make myself clear this is an amazing book written by an amazing author. I loved it truly, the characters, the plot , etc.! A must read all around! High recommendation from myself! Don’t miss out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been loving this series since book one, I find each one I am hooked with the characters that are introduced and I am left breathless, immersed, and most of all swooning from those certain moments!

Its so hard to pick a favorite book in the series, but this one we got Trey’s story! I must say his story was very much worth the wait. his story brought things to the table I did not expect in the least at all. I found his story had a darker side, with suspense and a mysterious aura as I read. Hailey was great too! I loved her personality and how she was in the mind set. Her and Trey were great together, and I m just not talking those “swooning” moments, but also being a team! I loved reading their story and watching their story take off! This book was amazing start to finish. I was left wanting more! Freaking loved it!

Seriously, if you have not read the series yet you certainly must! This book alone was a fantastic read AND I certainly recommend this book and series as well as the author! Must read all around!

I have been a fan of this author for quite some time now, and I still to this day fall in love with every single book they create and write. This one was no different.

I have always been a person who love s paranormal novels. This one was certainly one that took home the cake though. I was given darkness with action and the light of love. I was very connected to all the characters. I felt I was right there with them fighting the evils that they had to face, along with their decisions which at times did not come easy. Very gripping and compelling novel! I was truly intrigued! I cant wait to read more in the series! This is a series I will very much enjoy with all my heart and soul!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book, it was very suspenseful, and had a lot going on in good way. I found things added up nicely a i read, and I questioned literally everything! I was at the edge of my seat while reading!

This book was a well written mystery story, Suspense was amazing and also the action. They perfectly complimented each other through out the book. I found secrets were the main object of the story, I could not prepare myself for when something greater than the secrets I knew of came to light. Shock face was made with my facial expressions. That’s why I loved this book so much, it kept you guessing, and wondering what would occur next. Nothing was what it seemed! Amazing writing! Loved it!

Fantastic writing and for sure a very amazing author as well. This book is a must read. I read it all in almost one sitting. I could not put it down. Highly recommend this must read book! It’s amazing!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I found this book immersed me right from the first few lines on the first page! I loved the way the author created and wrote this story! I found my eyes were opened to visuals as well as different takes on the story through the eyes of the characters! Was very much a must read and I truly enjoyed this book!

The book consisted of 3 tales. I found each one captivating and different in its own special way. The characters faced odds and difficulties as they found as I would like to say, their purpose I was captivated to by how the characters handled things and how each one reached its outcome and its flow of the story. Gods and monsters are often feared, but are we as the humans who should be feared instead? The book made me think and see things differently. The book was amazing and I really enjoyed this collection!

Amazing book and if you love reading mythological readings as I do, then this one is surely to be enjoyed by you! A must read and a high recommendation from me! Wonderful writing by a gifted author!

I was swept away with this book! This book had a bit of everything I found. The way it starts was really a good way to pull the reader in and not let go. I was hooked from very early on, and I stayed hooked as the story progressed. The story was very commendable and the writing was sheer brilliance!

How could I not love this gripping book? You have Mitch and Hera, two characters that light up the sky with who they are as people as well as the story line. Hera was the one that I would not dare mess with, she was a person who would not hesitate to protect herself. She was amazingly written and nicely added to the story. Mitch was a great character too. I found him and Hera complimented each other nicely in the scenes they shared together. The action was perfect and non stop. I never had a dull moment as I read, and the story progression as well as character progression was spot on! I could not get enough. The suspense was great too as the story went on!

This was such a cute and sweet story that I was laughing and smiling at as I read! I think and know a lot of kiddos would get the same excitement and enjoyment as I did as I read. I love how Toby had to in more than ways than one prove himself against his feline roommate. I found this book had a lot of truth of how Toby was blamed and the cat, well was the innocent one. I also loved how the story seemed to have the moral of truth and honesty, and stand up for what is right. And of course to get along. Wonderful read! Loved it!

Snap Me Up (Full Throttle Cyborgs, #1)Snap Me Up by Landra Graf
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I could not put this book down, the character development was amazing, and the story line was defiantly less than ordinary. I really enjoyed the story that this author has created, and how it came to life. The book never had those dull moments, but it had those moments that kept you reading and interested!

I loved the moments and relationship with Gina and Snapper. They were both very likeable in different ways, they were often at times at each other’s throats, but when they had those more tender moments the sparks flew. And I loved how good they worked together as a team. I loved their build up, it was not forced, and did not come on too slow or fast. Something that really won me over, was ok, the author had cyborgs used in the description, I was all over that! (terminator fan girl here) This was not the expected machines vs humans I read constantly on, the car chases were AMAZING! I loved the action side of the story, the answers I got and how they came up with more questions..as things went more unexpected as I read on. And of course the character development! Amazing and fun read! Loved this book!!!

This was such a good and amazing book, and better yet, its the first book in a new series. I certainly will be enjoying the rest of the series with no doubt. And be in strong anticipation as I wait to read each one that follows! Highly recommend this must read author/book/author! For sure a must read all around!

The Wish-EaterThe Wish-Eater by Claire Luana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was amazing in in every which way! In my honesty, that is an understatement . The author wrote a story that not only captivated me, but wrote a story that flowed ever so nicely, as well as there were no gaps in the writing, everything made sense, and the words fit perfectly with every scene!

I loved the compelling intrigue that this book gave to me as I read. It was as if a essence of its own nature surrounded me as I read through. Maybe eerie in its own way. It was as if at times I knew something unexpected or eye opening could end up happening. The fantasy aspect of this book was not only appealing, but beautiful and mysterious in its own way. Let me not forget to add in the action that mixed with the characters in the world they resided in was beyond amazing. I loved this book so much. Also enjoyed reading and watching Elodie and Sebastian start off as the characters they were, and become by the end the characters that they became! Wonderful character growth! Loved that and this book!

Again, amazing book that truly sucks you in and holds you close to the point where you can feel its own heart beat. Wonderful writing by a truly talented author, and the story line was spot on in truth. It was a wonderful read that exceeded my expectations! Highly recommend this must read book/author!

A Veil of Gods and Kings (Apollo Ascending, #1)A Veil of Gods and Kings by Nicole Bailey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so amazed and entranced as I read this wonderful book. I have always been a die hard mythology fan, and the characters of Apollo and Hyacinth were nothing short of amazing. The character development and prosperity between them was beyond what I expected. Made this book all more intriguing!

What I loved about how the author went through with this story, it was more than than just a “re telling’ of characters from mythology. It was something fresh and also new. The characters were written in a way that they brought the story to life and it was as if reading about characters i knew nothing about! I loved how the author was able to bring this to life as well as the characters they created. I loved the moments Apollo and Hyacinth shared together. The more I read, the deeper I indulged, and I was hooked truly, this was a book could not put down! I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series!

The book was a magical read for me, it was different, in a good way. Captivating characters and moments that could make you swoon. There was more than just romance though, and that made tis book the true gem that it is! I loved it! Highly recommend this must read book. Certainly should not be passed up!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book truly! From the start of the book to the end, I could not get enough of the captivating story or the the characters I certainly loved and grew with! The story had a lot to offer the reader, and I found the story developed at a very good pace. The book was hauntingly beautiful and a wonderful read!

Something I loved about this book and the way the author created and flowed the story, was that nothing was what it seems. And I can am speaking really from any point! I found with answers to certain events more questions arose. The author used amazing descriptive skills that really brought out the beauty in the story. The paranormal side of the story at hand, was wondaful and well done to say the least. The characters were very connectable. I had trouble stopping this one. I would stop and go back as I wanted to see what would happen next. It was a book that was well worth reading! Loved it truly!

Amazing read! A book that holds you close and certainly does not let go, even when you reach the final page with the final words and you finish the book. I shall anxiously await book 2, I loved this one as I have made clear, and I know the next one will be just as amazing! Highly recommend this must read book!

The True Purpose of Vines (The Winemakers Book 1) by Giovanna Siniscalchi – Review by Lorrene Huisman

The True Purpose of VinesThe True Purpose of Vines by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful book that I truly highly recommend right from the start. The story flowed at a very nice rare I found, and the characters were very easy to love and had their different amount of appeals. It was a story that sucks you in right from the start and you really grow with the story and characters.

I found the story had its appeal yes, but its own essence of beauty. The fine details the author had used, were impossible not to love and embrace within your mind. I felt I was right there beside Julia and Griffin. They were different, sure, but when they collided more than their body and mind collided, but also their soul. I loved reading their moments together as they grew as people, but to fight for what they knew that they were destined to, to save the vine yard, but would they save their souls and hearts in the process? The story was a easy read, with lots of tender moments and moments that defined the rest of the book I found. Truly loved it and very much enjoyed this author’s writing and amazing book they wrote!

Needless to say, this book is for sure a must read. It has a lot to offer to reader for sure, all the reader has to pick up this wonderful book, and indulge into all it has to offer. It is a high recommendation from me with no doubt, and not one to be passed up or missed out on. Prepare for a read that will take you away!

The Wolf’s Shadow (The Lycanthropy Files Book 1) by Cecilia Dominic – Review by Lorrene Huisman

The Wolf's Shadow (The Lycanthropy Files #1)The Wolf’s Shadow by Cecilia Dominic
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! This book was just so darn good! The story had its own aurora of being compelling, and it was a very quick read and easy to fall into. It was very much enjoyable, I loved the way the author had the story flow, and how things went about! Needless to say I am waiting for the next installment!

I loved how the story takes flight centering around the work of Joanie who is looking into her own personal research for an issue, but along the way things happen and come up that really test and question everything. I loved the fact pace of the story, the secrets that arose, the questions that came, as well as the questions that I came up with as I read. I felt I was right beside Joanie with her adventure. Things were far from what they seed at first when I was reading, I loved the discoveries that were made. The author made the visionary very real as well. The book was addictive and impossible to put down!

Loved this book and I am going to love the rest of the series! The book was a wonderful start of a new series, and I can not wait to read more in the series and see what happens as the books continues. The author is amazing at what they do! Highly recommend this book and series, a must read!

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 1) by Rowan Rossler – Review by Lorrene Huisman

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy, #1)The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book with a passion. To say it was freaking dark good would seriously be an understatement! I was swept away truly in the author’s writing, the characters, and the story! I was truly indulged!

Vandana and Morgan really brought a lot to the table I found. Likeable characters in different ways, but at the same time, they had their differences and you could detect what you liked and not so much liked about them. Their chemistry was seriously off the charts. And their chemistry alone truly contributed to making this book an addictive read for me. The time they were put together for, who knew what would happen. I was on my seat’s edge with a strong anticipation and wanting more. The build was perfect, really enjoyed how the author did the story and the build up! Kept you in anticipation! Loved this book!

Seriously, this is by far a must read! The author knew exactly what they were doing with keeping the reader interested, and involved in the story! Highly recommend this must read book! Loved it!
