Yeti Left HomeYeti Left Home by Aaron Rosenberg

Yeti definitely finds a home after leaving what he thought was a good life. One of solitude and confinement in the mountains. Barely Interacting with the townsfolk he discovers he’s flushed out by a hunter. Running to a new city he finds he’s truly not alone. While there isn’t another yeti around he makes friends, solidifies a pack, and begins a new adventure a life full of joy happiness and friendship.
Integrating into a new lifestyle in the city the hunter finds him again. This time he doesn’t run but fights to keep his place and prove his innocence.

This is one of the most joyful, interesting, and fun reads ! I mean who doesn’t love a good story about Cryptids.

I hope there will be a part two or maybe even a sequel to the lives of one of yeti’s friends.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An interesting tale that’s twists to unfold more of her past. One she knew nothing of can help her succeed in the future. Maybe the past doesn’t define her but it helps shapes Amy and her team of rebellions. It’s a slow steady burn with a few potential love interests I am curious to watch blossom. Will she succeed? The discovery of who she could be change the game to her favor ? Questions I hope to answer as I continue through the series

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow I was blown away by this series. I couldn’t put it down. I wouldn’t put it down.

Comparable to outlander with traveling back in time heroics and romance! But taking on an entire new thrill of its own. The characters fight to restore the balance and tear is the space of time continuum.

I was on the edge of my seat awaiting the ending and I was not disappointed.

The plot is well maintained and the world building ?! FASCINATING to say the very least. Do you enjoy mystery? Romance ? Historical mixed with present this is the book for you.

Each book in this series provides enough insight and detail it could be read together as a series or as a stand alone.

This story is highly intriguing and left me with so many questions that I need to read the full series.

Esprit de CorpseEsprit de Corpse by Ef Deal
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A very intriguing story !! Carefully thought out, planned and executed. A little pg13 romance, mystery, and magic really served this reader well.

I enjoyed the twists and turns including the ties between the main characters. It all turned into a beautifully thought out plot maintained with a great amount of detail. Linking past to present giving a deeper understanding of each character.

I thoroughly enjoyed the end; experiencing the girls as children in their father’s presence was heartwarming.

In the end I finished the story hoping for a second to see how the love stories all turned out. Maybe it’s the hopeless romantic in me, but that feel. That feeling is how I define a good book.

Euphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the MindEuphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the Mind by Ryan M. Becker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A really great philosophical read. What starts at the beginning of life taking you through the stages of his life. But perhaps in an alternative your life too.

It was easily relatable for me when reading insight of his teenage and young adult years. The mind is a fascinating endless source of strength, encouragement, power and wisdom.

I would recommend this book to be read a poem a day to really resonate with the feelings of each one. It’s like a fine way to be savored over time; instead of devoured instantaneously.

Thought provoking I truly encourage this read for those on their own journey of peace and understanding.

Dawnbreaker: The House of Blood and SunDawnbreaker: The House of Blood and Sun by Hadley Thorne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An extremely good read that mingles vampire and fae beautifully.

What begins as almost melancholy; a life forced upon Connor the devishly handsome vampire. Soon becomes intermingled with a beautiful Fae Niahm. A journey of self discovery and one of soulmates; true love.
Familiar rifts and successions to the crown are tarnished with the greed of a single family member. I read on the edge of my seat eager and wanting what’s next.

Ending on a lovers note this book left me happy but wanting more. Perhaps there will be more to come ! I sure hope there will be.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Start to finish this book will captivate you. A real page turner egging you to finish it even if you read late into the night. I could not would not put this down.

When childhood friends / loves meet again it’s almost as if it’s a different life. A world away from one they once shared together. Would they be able to conquer the obstacles of love like Brandon’s friends? I had to know ! Captivated by the details I was easily able to paint a picture in my head. Leaving me hungry and wanting for more.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A highly detailed return book that makes reality and fantasy blend ! A ton of detail for world building that reached a plateau. Shifting gears introducing the mysterious ways of this newly found life. How realistically written I was questioning myself through out the book if it truly was fantasy! I enjoyed the plot twists and turns. A slow but good strong finish.

Destiny of Light (Quirk of Destiny, #3)Destiny of Light by Catherine Greenall
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Quirk of destiny is a fascinating read; mysterious and engorging. I’ll admit the beginning feels slow with the mass of information to build a good platform of understanding. It’s not my usual type of genre. But I was pleasantly l surprised by chapter 14. So hang in there if you’re like me ! It really gets going with the twists and turns. Surprises increase as does the mystery! I found myself asking is it the end of the world ? Or are you just apart of an experiment ?

I definitely recommend for those who love mystery and don’t mind a very detailed almost realistic build up to get there.
