Black CanvasBlack Canvas by Laura Rossi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but let me tell you- this book is absolutely ASTOUNDING. From the get-go, she pulls you into the world of Aria, and you can’t help but just dive in. She does a wonderful job showing the traumas of these women, artistically describing the pain and the beauty as she weaves this story together. Once you think you have it figured out- it changes on you and challenges you to keep up with Aria and her world. If you enjoy thrillers and crime, this is the book for you. I absolutely loved it and I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store with her other books.

Born in Darkness (Mafia Elite Book 3) by Amy McKinley – Review by Lucy Vincent

Born in Darkness (Mafia Elite, #3)Born in Darkness by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Okay, so this is the third book in the series, and just like the other two- the author does not disappoint. A romance told with plenty of action- and even dives into the past a bit to give insight into the characters. This book does seem to have a bit more of a “forbidden lovers” tone to it, but it ties right in with the story, making the heart grow fonder for the love that’s told. As the Elites search for the rat in the family, the find themselves knee-deep in danger (but that’s normal.) I do recommend this book- either as a stand alone, or as part of the rest of the series!

Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan BOOK 1) by Anise Storm – Review by Lucy Vincent

Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #1)Conveniently Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Conveniently Yours is the first book in the Titan’s of Manhattan series. It follows the story of Paisley and Caspian, two childhood friends that drifted apart and ran into each other again later in life- literally. Paisley, a broke artist trying to make ends meet when her mom is in a tragic accident and hospitalized couldn’t have a life much more opposite from Caspian- a wealthy CEO of a family company. As Caspian receives the news that his uncle’s heart has become weak, his uncle leaves him with an ultimatum- either marry someone, or risk losing the company he has worked so hard for.

So Caspian has an idea- one that will benefit them both. And she agrees.

This book is steamy, sexy, and heart wrenching all at the same time! This author fills her stories with romance, twists, and turns- and I am so excited for the second book to come out. If you’re a fan of 365 DNI (365 Days), of the Mafia Elite series, and of the Royal Elite books, you will love Titan’s of Manhattan. This book for sure left me wanting more, and is going to the “re-read” shelf of my Kindle library.

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blood Oath by Amy McKinley is the second instalment in the Mafia Elite series, following the path of two members of the other Five Families- Sophia La Rosa and Enzo Vitale. Of course, danger follows them wherever they go- and as Enzo and Sophia fight their feelings for each other, it just draws them closer together. I really enjoyed this book. The first book is pretty good, and a recommendation, but to me the second one is a must read! Amy McKinley draws the reader in so well- It was hard to put the book down!

Ashes of AldyrAshes of Aldyr by Russell Archey

Ashes of Aldyr by Russell Archey is the first installment of the Obscured Throne Trilogy. It’s a book full of detail, and the way he weaves the story together almost reminds me of G.R.R. Martin mixed with a bit of Tolkien, and even a little C.S. Lewis. I know there were probably some details that I missed, so I fully intend to re-read this book. I did enjoy it, and if you like fantasy, it’s perfect for you. Highly recommend it, just make sure you take extra time to take in all the details!

Come Back Tomorrow by Amy Argent – Review by Lucy Vincent

Come Back Tomorrow (Embrace Tomorrow, #1)Come Back Tomorrow by Amy Argent

Come Back Tomorrow by Amy Argent is now in my Top 15. Honestly, if you love Grey’s Anatomy, The Fault In Our Stars, and Irreplaceable You (with a mix of Six Feet Apart), this is the book for you. Come Back Tomorrow follows the story of a hospital psychologist who makes it her mission to help terminal patients through the last parts of their life. With encouragement from her friend, Tori meets a terminally ill man, Will. At the end of every visit, she asks- “Can I come back tomorrow?” until one day it becomes: “Will you come back tomorrow?”

Come Back Tomorrow is a heart wrenching story, of love, of the honesty of terminal illness, and healing. Honestly, I cried my way through this- but with a twist ending, I’m absolutely DYING to read the next book and see where Will and Tori’s story goes.

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No Way Out is a riveting Romeo-Juliet type tale about two Mafia members. I’d heard a lot about Amy McKinley, so I had high expectations going into this book, and let me tell you- Yall. She does NOT disappoint! While it did take a second into the book for me to fully get a grasp of everything that was happening as all the characters were introduced, once you get past that part, it’s hard to put the book down! I absolutely loved it, and loved the way she wove the story around. 10/10, will be reading more of her books!

Saratoga RoanSaratoga Roan by Bree M. Lewandowski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There is NOTHING like a story with romance, horses, and healing in it. Saratoga Roan is one of the best ranching stories I’ve ever read, and if you enjoy Amanda Cabot’s Texas Dreams books, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one too! Rhett is a hard-working man keeping the family horse ranch running, when out of the blue, his first love returns to the ranch. Cassandra, hoping to re-spark the relationship, wonders if it might be too late. With a medical complication thrown in the mix, who knows how their story will unfold?

Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart – Review by Lucy Vincent

Her Dark Love (Dark Spell #4)Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Her Dark Love is the fourth instalment of The Blackened Series by author Isra Sravenheart. The book takes us back in time to when Isra is a teenager, starting at a high-end academy where she befriends a young woman by the name of Everlida. As the story progresses, she also meets a young man by the name of Jonathan- handsome and suave, but also is involved with Everlida. Astrid, a raven shapeshifter is a light bringer in the world of magic, tasked with watching over Isra to keep her from falling to the dark, as the prophecy has foretold.

Her Dark Love draws the reader in, and holds them all the way through. I like how we get more insight into Isra’s character, and even into Astrid. I wonder what’s in store for Book 5!

Boy ReleasedBoy Released by J.D. Spero
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boy Released is the thrilling sequel to J.D Spero’s novel, Boy on Hold, which starts us on the journey of the Trout family in upstate New York. As Tyler comes back from rehab and has to learn to live with the murder and his mental illness, it puts a strain on the family. Boy Released is a book full of healing, love and hope, and I loved the ending. I hope she decides to write a third book, because I am in love with these books, and it’ll be hard to say goodbye to the Trout family.

Boy on HoldBoy on Hold by J.D. Spero

This book wasn’t a typical book I thought I would find myself reading, but when I picked it up off my e-shelf and started reading, I was immediately enthralled. The details are immaculate, the plot is fantastic, it’s truly a wonderful book. The story of Little Hen, his family, and other members in their community is wonderfully written. While it wasn’t a debut novel, it was the first in a series, and I intend to finish this series as we’re pulled along the story of the Trout family and the community surrounding it.

Least Likely Suspect: RevengeLeast Likely Suspect: Revenge by Cooper McKenzie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Least Likely Suspect- Revenge by Cooper McKenzie is PERFECT book for lovers of James bond. A thrilling novel about a mother’s thirst for revenge against the woman that abused her son, leading to his death. Samantha Wycoff, a woman with nothing to lose searches for a way to make her son’s murderess pay dearly for her actions. This book is an adventure- and perfect for people who have busy lives with little time to read. It’s a short read, but very engaging and interesting. I hope she releases more stories to make a thrilling series about Samantha; and if she does, I’ll be one of the first in line to read it!

Shield & ShadeShield & Shade by Misty Hayes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So, this was the first book by Misty Hayes that I’ve read. She currently has 4 books out, 3 are a trilogy and Shield and Shade are the start of a new series. It’s the story of a girl who’s life gets turned absolutely upside down- and shattered by family secrets. It’s full of so much action, and it’s such a page turner! I seriously cannot WAIT to see what the next book’s going to be about- and I’ll be reading her trilogy here soon! I can’t tell too much of what happened in the book without giving any spoilers, but if you’re someone who LOVES plot twists- this is definitely the book for you, and you will NOT regret it!!!!!

Her Blackened Rose (Blackened #3)Her Blackened Rose by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Rose picks up right on the cliffhanger we were left with in Her Blackened Heart; following the riveting tale of Lady Isra and her love, Astrid. Author Isra Sravenheart’s books genuinely keep getting more and more captivating as the saga and adventure continues. With each book she releases, her attention to detail and mesmerising passion continue to pull me in. If you’re someone that enjoys books that are quick and easy to read while also being spellbinding exploits, these are definitely the books for you- I couldn’t get enough of these books, and managed to read the first three in one day!

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened, #1)Her Blackened Soul by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Soul starts with the enchanting story of a young Witch- Lady Isra of the Dark. Isra finds herself beguiled by the Darkness and happens upon a raven who becomes the companion she’s longed for. Isra Sravenheart does a wonderful job with her descriptions with her writing, with an acute attention to detail, the characters and settings can be clearly pictured while the story changes with different settings. She tells a story about a wonderful blooming romance, and has so much potential for continuing the story in her next books. Just like most first books in any series, it is a little bit slow and a little harder to get into, but even with the first sentence she pulls you into the wonderful world of Lady Isra and Astrid.

Her Blackened HeartHer Blackened Heart by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Heart is the second book of the five book series Her Dark Spells written by best seller Isra Sravenheart. The book moves quickly through the world of Lady Isra, taking us from all of the settings and scenes in a whirlwind of excitement and rising action. While the ending climax and falling action was very short lived- it did leave me wanting more and wondering just what Isra had in store for the next book. The romance she set between Isra and Astrid in Her Blackened Soul truly came to light and fruition in Her Blackened Heart; and the cliffhanger she left us with at the end of the book definitely has me excited to start book three: Her Blackened Rose!
