Blood Relations (The Sorrel Janes Mysteries) by Lonna Enox
5 stars

I really loved the first book in this series, and this one just turned it up a notch on the mystery, suspense and just overall twists.
We still follow Sorrel and her bad luck of having bad things happen around her. I can’t go into too many details as its best to read about it, but this author has such a way to drag you along for this whirlwind ride and just when you think you have an idea of what is going on, it changes.
Again I was frustrated with Reed, even more this time than the first. But as an officer I get it to a point, for the secrecy. I just wanted to shake him a little (hes fictional it wouldn’t hurt him lol)
Again, I am loving this series and can’t wait to see what happens next.

I’ve never read this author before, and I’m kicking myself because what an amazing read!

I was hooked from the beginning,.and I loved how it went back and forth between the two main characters. Just because you both go through the same thing, doesnt mean you remember it all the same way or feel the same.

We are thrown into a crime scene and from there things snowballed and circled back around to an ending I honestly didn’t see coming, like really.

Each woman is so.different and going through life just a little different but they will always have each other.

I can’t say much without giving too much away, but i can’t wait to read more.

Omg I loved this book. While the flashbacks of the trauma for Tallie were tough, you didn’t need to read that part to understand what happens so its easily skipped if you have triggers.
I didn’t even know I needed these characters story until I started reading this. And I loved seeing past characters in this story.
You have to read this to understand all that is happening, I won’t be giving anything away. Must must read.

I absolutely loved this book. I love a good mystery, a good suspense and this delivered on it all. I had my suspicions on who and why but it did keep me guessing until the end.
These characters were great and the writing made me feel like I was right there with Johnny.
I don’t want to say anything that will give this away but i will say, this story had me hooked from beginning to end, and I can’t wait to read more about Johnny and his jobs.

An amazing take on cupid! I really enjoyed this story. Its light, quick but still has the air of a romance about not for the main character.
Aiko is a cupid, but she has a way of causing teoible wherever she goes. They’ve made many amendments to their laws due to Aiko. I felt for her and that made watching what happens all the better.

This was a great read and I cant wait to read more from this series.

This story had me guessing throughout the whole book. And I applaud the author for the forewarning and also the option to skip parts that may not be suitable for those who have trigger warnings and still be able to read this without missing pieces of the story.

I had laugh out loud moments, teary moments and just plain love within this story.
I cannot wait for more from this new to me author.

Another great story from this series. These may be very quick reads, but what a punch they pack! You get alot of need to know information along with the story and none of the extra fluff, so its a very fast read.
Meredith is best friends with Isabelle, from book 1. You don’t need to read that one to read this one, but you’ll want to,to get her story. Meredith is starting her plans in motion after life hit her hard. She doesn’t expect to see someone from a month ago, or anything that happens after.

I really loved this book, it was different but also sweet and funny. Highly recommend

What a way to kick off this book. This story had an interesting take on a person with amnesia and i really felt for her and how confused she felt about everything.
I will say i love this series, but this one felt just a little different. I felt like some questions went unanswered and some decisions made weren’t realistic (I know its fiction but still) but it didn’t take away from how I fept with the characters.
Great read and I highly suggest the rest the of this series, they’re great.

I love a good mystery/suspense book, and while I was hooked with this story it did lose my interest on a big subject matter that wasn’t given a hint at in the blurb. I try to avoid those storylines, as just a personal preference ( I will not disclose what that is here as it would spoil the story).
This had me scratching my head at what was happening and I will say i didn’t see the ending coming, like at all so it got me there, i was very shocked.
Was a very quick paced read, and it held my attention from beginning to end. I will read more by this author despite not liking a subject matter in this as it was needed for this story to work, just not my top choice to read about.

This is the first book of a new series by Via Mari. I love her writing style, it sucks you right in and doesn’t let up until the end.
We do see characters from her other series but this story follows Jay and Sasha.
Jay is head of security and Sasha a ballerina. Through suspense and drama, we see this amazing story unfold.
A must read!

This book does have a trigger warning, but it doesn’t go into details but does document injuries.
This takes place in college and April has just left a bad relationship. She’s had her eye on Shan for awhile but wasn’t able to do anything but crush from afar, until one day.
This was a really good story about strength and courage but also young love.
This was a fast but very touching read.

Totally different type of story for me. I love a good mystery and this one had me stumped until the end, I had no idea! Usually I can pinpoint the who or the why, but this one had me guessing until the end and that made me love it more.
With a different reason for being in town, Sorrel was just full of sass and headstrong even with all shes been through.

I really enjoyed this and while it has romantic little undertones, it didn’t take away from this story at all. Its a mystery with a little sprinkle of a budding romance. Must read!

We finally get this story! I will not be naming any names in this review, as it is not given away in the synopsis and also at the authors request in the book itself, as not to spoil the surprise of who this is about.

I will say this is hands down, one of my favorites of this whole MC series, including the Tucson Chapter books.
This started off in such a way I wasn’t expecting and my goodness the punches just kept coming. I was so glad to see some of my favorites in this book, as in previous books of the Colorado Chapter.
Ive not read a book with a female main character quite like this one and I was so glad she was a strong and independent woman.

If you take anything away from this mostly vague review, its to read the book. You won’t be disappointed. Another great one by this amazing author!

This book did not go the way I thought, but in a good way. It hooked me from the beginning but it did a lose me in a couple spots, I had to go back and make sure I had read something right (all on me, not the writing). Told in one POV of the main character, we follow her on a journey of finding answers in a town she was just passing through.
I did feel I never got the full answer of what her different ability was, yes we experience her getting visuals but never a clear cut, this is what happens.

I didn’t see the ending coming out the way it did, I had a thought on someone else for that actually! Great read .

Umm, what did I just read!? This was amazing and I have no words. It’s been 2 days since i’ve finished this and i still can’t get over this book and can’t get my thoughts straight.
I can’t imagine moving to a new country where they speak a language I know nothing about. But that’s exactly what happens here and my goodness, despite her language barrier, it doesn’t stop her investigative mind from working double time.
I will say I had my suspicion and even though I was right, it was by sheer luck I was, as I stopped reading and looked.back at my notes. Yes I took notes as i wanted to figure this out to see if i was by chance correct lol.
This was so good and i cant wait to read the next, as it left me with many questions and I also just want more of these characters. What an amazing read!

This is book 3 in this series and even though i’ve read the previous books, this could be read as a standalone.
We get to follow Tony, the fireman (yum), and also Derron’s best friend from the previous book. He was sweet and funny but also adamant he would never end up like Derron with one woman for the rest of his life, at least not at his age just yet.
These two were great together but she needed to find her backbone first. Ugh her family, I wanted to scream at them and pull the stick out for them lol.

This is a fast read, took me a little under 2 hours but the story flew by I was so engrossed to see what happened next.

I am kicking myself for never finding this author before now. I absolutely loved this story. It brought so much new to this genre for me. Shifters are hit or miss for me as its all about the story and the characters and also the details of how they came to be the way they are.
I loved Louisa and her quick wit and sarcasm. She was a strong female lead, even when she was scared she overcame it quickly or found the solution to help.
And Jack, what a guy! He was hilarious and sweet but also strong and fearless.

I cannot wait to read more of this series, what an intriguing bunch they are at the Den.

I refuse to believe this series is over.
We’ve been through so much from the very beginning and while I had my reservations about Luca, this story did him justice. I cant imagine how hard it is to keep your worlds separated and make everyone happy.
And Byron, oh the turmoil he was in for the situation.

This, like all the books in this series, grabs you from the get go and doesn’t let up until the end. If you haven’t read this series yet, start at the beginning or everything will not make sense and also spoil alot! Cannot wait to see what this author comes out with next, but am sad to see these characters go.

This is on a very short list of books now that I loved the entire thing, but at different points in the book disliked both main characters for one reason or another for making a selfish decision. One usually can do no wrong in my head and this one just threw me for a ride!
I love second chance romance, and this was such a spin on that. It took me a bit to connect to Sarah but as her story unfolded, I got her.
And Rich and his girls, ugh anything sexier than a single dad busting his behind to give them the best?

This is a just read, many things play factors in this story and in the end I just wanted more or even an epilogue!

This was unlike any MC book I’ve ever read in the way that it didn’t really focus on the inner workings of the MC itself but other parts on the outside. I cant give more away or it’ll ruin the book.
I want a Tracker, perfect MC man but also perfect book boyfriend material. And Kerri, what a strong woman to go through what she has.

I cannot wait to dove into the rest of this series as im sure it’ll be a wild ride!

I really loved these characters. Despite her being from a very well off family, she knows what hard work is and strives to make it on her own.

I won’t give away anymore of the story as its best to be read and figured out as you go. I really loved Peyton and Sig, they seemed great!

This is a continuation from book 1, so these MUST be read in order.

While this story follows someone else, it’s his side of the aftermath from book 1, and how he is using all his resources to find someone. Even though he’s to be the bad guy, i found myself drawn to him, he’s a bad boy what do you expect lol.
And the ending had me cursing and saying I totally knew it. What a must read series and it now needs to be August so we can get the next one as I NEED it now!

Where do I begin with this book? This story touches on a subject that is very sensitive and not talked about much, until more recent times. It was written beautifully, and made me feel just like the main character, even though I’ve never personally been through this. Im talking infertility.
Marriage is hard work already and adding this on top of it, puts its strains on it. These two just never had the reason to know how to face a tough battle until this.
I love second chance romance and this has bumped to my top list. This is a must read!

This was such a fast paced read. While many details for small things are there like decoration, clothing etc I felt I was missing the big details between Miranda and the main man. This was a good read about someone finding themselves again and jumping back into the dating game, but it was so fast paced I didn’t ever know how much time had passed from beginning to end.
I loved Miranda’s friends and how different they all were and how it didn’t matter, they were there for one another and I wouldn’t mind reading about them sometime!

Out of the Box Collection by Jennifer Theriot

Holy moly, what a collection! I was so invested in this series. The writing style took a couple chapters to get into the groove for me, as they were in my opinion, talking in a way that wasn’t used in normal conversations. It didn’t take away from the story it just took a bit to get used to.
I really loved these characters and i was just along for the ride to see what happened next. The main characters were great but I wish we could be in Tommy and Todd’s heads too. Or even just Ash!
This is mainly about an older couple with grown children, but we do see new relationships blossom along the way.
This had ups and downs and man were the downs really down. But it made the story what it was.
Highly highly recommend.

This seems it will be such a great new series. This first book packs a ton of information but done very well as I didn’t feel overwhelmed with it all.
Kelly is fine doing what she’s doing day in and day out, except when it hits her how lonely she feels. Her best friend just doesn’t understand her passion and tries to get her out of the house, and one night she does just that and in comes Kirk.
Kirk, oh how I wish we had more from his side than the little we got.
This was such a great story and what a great group this shows and hope we see more very soon!
