My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a brilliant book. Right from the start this book is filled with characters I just wanted to get to know. They were interesting and captivating. The story itself I found to be well written and fast paced. I connected with it easily and engaged with the storyline. This author is one I have come to enjoy and expect to get a great book out if each time. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack Book 1) by Nicole Howl – Review by Sarah King

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack, #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stolen from her home, Lily is a human servant of the royal family in Wolf Hollow. Jason, a werewolf, is the prince and heir. After a horrible incident Lily ends up in the royal hospital and the same time as the prince. Jason’s wolf is positive that Lily is its mate just by her scent. The two will face multiple obstacles if they want to be together. But the question is will they be willing to fight to be together?

This is the first book I have read by Ms. Howl. Overall, I enjoyed the book. There were a few of the major background facts that I wish would have been given more of a back story not that it detracts from the story I just thought it would add to it. I loved the story and I would recommend it; however, if you are like be and hate when a story it broken down into multiple pieces be warned. Even know that now that I have read the first part I cant wait for the second part to come out.

Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie – Review by S. Bittles

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We are given a touching novella about fighting to find the light and happiness even when you are dealt a hand that is dark and full of sorrow. This is my second read by this Author and I really enjoy their righting style, again they deliver in originality and touch on cultural history.

The Author will have you feeling every bit of anguish and hope as we are told Mercy’s story from her POV. We follow Mercy throughout her life and through her difficult journey of breaking free from her generational curse.

This Author amazes me with their attention to detail and descriptions, as well as their talent of writing about sensitive topics with care and relatability.

Short novel, with big impact!

Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Sarah King

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sadness and madness, the curse of La Llorona, also known as the weeping woman, is the plague of a small New Mexican town. Mercy is a young woman who is determined not to fall as the women before her have. Will she succeed? Will she stumble?

Weep, Woman, Weep was a quick enjoyable read. It did take me a moment to really get into the story, at first, I found it a little difficult to follow. I did quickly adjust to the writing style and found myself sucked into it the story and unable to put the book down. The struggles Mercy talks about as well as experiences are relatable, as well as thought provoking. The struggle to be happy and succeed, not let the bad moments keep you down is something anyone is something anyone can at the very least understand, many having experiences it in there own lives. While I think this story could be even better if it was expanded into a longer novel and had the time to go into more depth, I did feel it was worth the time it took to read.

The Killer Jack Mystery (The J.D. Pierson Case Files) by C.H. Sessums – Review by Sarah King

The Killer Jack Mystery (The J.D. Pierson Case Files)The Killer Jack Mystery by C.H. Sessums
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jenny has her hands full covering for her father, trying to keep his business running; she also types for a local attorney, all to keep them afloat. While covering for her father she visits her dying Uncle in jail. As she follows through on his request, she finds herself a case. Will she be able to solve it?
This is the first book by C.H. Sessums that I have read. The Killer Jack Mystery is the second book in the JD Pierson Case Files series. As I, for the most part, did not feel lost or confuse would say this story can be read as a stand alone. This not my go to genre, but I can say, I was not disappointed and will be going back to read the first and then the rest of this series. The story was well written and the characters were engaging. I recommend giving this book a read.
