Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch Series: #7 by Christy Nicholas
Stars: 4

  1. This story gives us Conall’s and Lainn’s story. These two are siblings and care very much for one another. I enjoyed their relationship with each other. Conall is the holder of the brooch, and he tries to protect his sister the best he can. This leads to several obstacles and conflict for our characters. Christy Nicholas does a fantastic job at describing the world she invents and her characters are wonderfully written.View all my reviews

Seraphina’s Revolution (Seraphina #4)
By Sheena Hutchinson
Rated 4 stars

This is a fitting end to the series. It’s is full of action, suspense and some crazy angel fun. At times it was a bit slow in the beginning but once we got half way it really got down to business. The story is the final battle between good and evil. Each trying to turn the other to their side. We see a lot of the same characters from the series and meet a few new ones. While I liked the newer characters it is the older ones are that kept me going. Seraphina, Nate and Jack have a love triangle that has expired for all but one of them. There is a lot of back and forth like a tug o war. But I still like and think of them back in the first book so it’s hard for me to dislike one of them now. I still root for Nate but Jack…you have that great smile and those glorious eyes.

I would highly recommend reading the series in order. There are many references made to previous book. Plus you get to see the characters grow and change as the story moves forward. This isn’t my favorite of the series. It is still a good and needed story to round everything out.

Lights, Camera, Action (Paranormal Talent Agency Book 1) by Heather Silvio – Review by Erica Fish

Lights, Camera, Action (Paranormal Talent Agency, #1)Lights, Camera, Action by Heather Silvio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lights, Camera, Action is the first of the Paranormal Talent Agency Series by Heather Silvio. This book is the first book I have read by Heather Silvio and I will be reading the other books from this author. Ms. Silvio has a light and easy style of writing. Her characters are fun and believable. I could see myself hanging out with Catherine talking about what is happening and how to solve the mystery. This story has all the making of an fun mystery, romance, secrets, and paranormal characters that keep you going the whole time. Catherine is the main character who moves to Las Vegas to begin a Talent Agency. Catherine has found herself with actresses that have been murdered.In comes Alex who comes in to help Catherine with the mysteries. Alex reveals a paranormal world in which Catherine was not aware of this world. Will Catherine find out what is happening? Will Alex save Catherine and the agency?

Vantage Point (Gray Ghost #4)Vantage Point by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vantage Point written by Amy McKinley is a Gray Ghost Novel, book 4. Is you have read the previous stories in the series you are familiar with the characters and parts of the background characters. This is Hawks story and it’s a good one. Hawk is always the quiet one of the group, the watcher, until he gets involved in his neighbors business, and then the story really begins. Stella is entertaining and when her and Hawk are around each other sparks fly. Vantage Point has a little of it all the action, adventure, and chemistry, it’s another great addition to the series.

Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch Series: #7 by Christy Nicholas – Review by Emma Morreale

Age of Saints (Druid's Brooch #7)Age of Saints by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Conall and Lainn deserve peace! This sibling duo has been through the ringer and most of it not their fault. Conall promised his father he would protect his baby sister with all that he is and what big brother wouldn’t? BUT there isn’t a whole lot you can do with an absolute expletive of an abusive step father and powerful fae out to get you basically just because.
I feel for Conall so much. He loves his sister and wants the best for her. Every decision he makes goes from bad to how could this possibly get any worse…. oh that’s how it could get worse. The only thing I didn’t like in this book was that the ending seemed kind of blah. It wasn’t exactly a cliffhanger but I’m hoping there will be more about these two in the next book. Can’t wait!

North to Nara (Crimson Sash, #1)North to Nara by Amanda Marin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

North to Nara by Amanda Marin is the first book in the Crimson Sash series. This is a unique and interesting YA novel that everyone should try.
This story isn’t like one I have read before. The idea of having our emotions taken away to enable us to continue is intriguing if a little scary. The author does a great job of creating this world where everything appears to be perfect and yet hidden away are plenty of dark secrets.
This was a new author for me and I really enjoyed her writing style. It was engaging and knew how to keep the story going. This was a brilliant book and one I would recommend.

Love on the Line by Laurie Lewis is the second book in the Great Expectations Love Stories: The Graykens. This book is as emotional and heart wrenching as the first book. There is something about these characters that completely draws you in and holds you captive.
The story was told so gracefully over both of the books. It definitely took me by surprised from the moment I picked up the first book but I can definitely say I am glad I have this series a go!

I loved this book! This is a well written, engaging story that flips back and forth in time. I loved that I didn’t get lost and was able to keep up. This is about a little girl, Veloura. She is ignored by her parents but other people make up for what she is missing in her life. What will happen when she realizes there is so much more to life? Will she discover a whole new world and herself in the process? She is my favorite and made the story come to life for me. Her story is a must read!

I enjoyed this book from cover to cover. This is a young adult story that I feel is in the future. It is creative and well written. I found it to be engaging and fast paced. It is about Neve who lives in a country who demands loyalty above all else in form of a pledge. What will happen when Neve is given a choice of loyalty or love, happiness? The characters are well written characters that you can sympathize with as well as relate too. I highly recommend this book.

Hazed (The Hazed Series Book 1)Hazed by Brittany Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hazed by Brittany Butler is the first book, I’ve read by this author. I wasnt really a fan of the book however the writing was good. Hayze is the sexy bartender where Taylor starts to work. There is an instant attraction between the two. Only problem is Hayze has the bad boy vibe going. Hayze is with a different girl every night and girls throw themselves at him on the regular.
Taylor doesn’t have much experience in anything. She grew up the daughter of a pastor and never had the chance to do anything the other kids in town did. She left home for some freedom. She is starting college and doesn’t really know anyone aside from her roommate Lea. Lea and Hayze happen to be pretty close but, Taylor doesn’t realize just how close they really are.
Of course Taylor and Hayze end up seeing each other. I understand she is a sheltered girl but come on, how does she not see things right in front of her. I liked most of the characters and think the author did a good job but, I just didn’t like how blind Taylor was made out to be.

Immortal Desires Anthology – Review by Maura Harper

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

IMMORTAL DESIRES is a collection of paranormal romances written by a variety of authors. There are stories about vampires and shifters and dragons (seriously, what’s not to love about dragons!!!) and more. The majority of the stories are full length novels and they are part of a series. Some are the first in the series and others are the third; each was a satisfactory read and I’ve added the series’ to my TBR list. I was able to take my time with this set and I found that anytime I was in between books, i would grab another story from this collection.

I have a few that stood out above the rest (OMG Zane!!!) and all in all each was a great read. I honestly don’t think I would be able to rank them in the order that I preferred them, so I’m just going to list the stories/authors in the way they are listed in the front of the book:

Vantage Point by Amy McKinley is the fourth book in the Gray Ghost series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone
As with the others this book is fast paced and intense. Each page was a thrilling turn . Hawk has to be my favourite character of this series so far. I loved the connection between him and Stella. They just seemed to pop entirely off the page. And the story the author created with this book was just brilliant. I enjoyed every part of it. This one has easily just become my favourite of the series.

Terror in Boring Town (A Sam and Rex Adventure Book 1) by Hoot N. Holler – Review by Maura Harper

Terror in Boring Town (A Sam and Rex Adventure, #1)Terror in Boring Town by Hoot N. Holler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am NOT the intended demographic for this story HOWEVER; I very much enjoyed it and actually identified with a few of the “older folks”. Mr. Patel, for example, because he’s always sneaking the kids candy when Mrs. Patel isn’t looking. That’s the kind of Aunt I am – so I get it.

This is a delightful story that I would absolutely give to my nieces and nephews to read. I have a few that don’t like to read and I think this one might change their mind. It’s a delightful adventure of 2 young boys and the things they experience one summer in a town called Boring, MD. Trust me; it’s NOT a boring story.

HOOT N HOLLER is a new to me author (or team of authors) and enjoyed the way they told a tale. I’m not sure who had what voice, but it was seamless in the telling. The story is well plotted and a great read.

I look forward to reading more adventures written by this (these) delightful author(s).

Hazed is a book about a young girl named Taylor who left a strict fathers home to head to college where she is learning about her shelf and what she wants in life.

I’m really interested to see where this series is going to go. I fell Brittany Butler did a wonderful job on this book and cant wait to read the next book in this series.

North to Nara (Crimson Sash Book 1) by Amanda Marin – Review by Angela Hayes

North to Nara (Crimson Sash, #1)North to Nara by Amanda Marin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

“The Suffering helps build compassion and unity among our people…. By transferring pain and sadness into the souls of those with the greatest aptitude for empathy, we ensure the happiness and prosperity of the .”

 

North to Nara is the first book in the Crimson Sash Series and debut novel by Amanda Marin. It is quite an original YA dystopian romance, with sci-fi elements, fantasy, suspense, action, adventure, and clever world building.
Neve Hall lives in a seemingly Utopian society where civil servants keep the society prosperous and united. “Nation First” is every citizens pledge, and they are expected to put the nations ‘needs’ even ahead of their own. Citizens in good standing have the privilege of attending The Centre for Compassion every week, where a Sufferer (a professional empath) will ‘take’ the pain and sadness from the individual, replacing it with strength- the whole process is done anonymously. But what happens when her ‘regular’ Sufferer is replaced? What happens when Neve discovers the identity of her new Sufferer? What happens when she begins to understand what he endures in the name of the nation? And what happens when feelings get involved- especially in a society where love isn’t allowed for all citizens? So, what happens when she begins questioning everything she thought she knew/believed? This story is well worth the read to find out.
This was a great debut novel, with an intriguing storyline and interesting characters. The cover is beautiful and immediately drew me to the book. It was a little slow in parts, and there were places that felt like a bit of an info dump. But this didn’t detract to much from my overall enjoyment of the story. I did enjoy the story and will definitely read the rest of the series. I look forward to seeing what else Ms. Marin can do.

Thank you, Ms. Marin!

5 out of 5 stars

The story North to Nara (Crimson Sash Book 1) by Amanda Marin is an amazing book that I loved reading. It takes place in a dystopian world. I found that the author does a wonderful job of describing this world and how those in society live. The story had me feeling like I was right there with the characters, feeling and experiencing what they did. The book had me turning pages and wondering what is going to happen next. My emotions went up and down while reading this story. There are both heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. I loved reading about the characters of Neve Hall and Micah Ward. They are characters that you can’t help but grow to care about and want them to be happy. There is a choice that has to be made. Will Neve choose loyalty to the Nation or to her heart? What does the future hold for Neve and Micah? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me thinking about it even after I had finished the last page. It will hook you in from the beginning. This is a book that I would recommend reading. It is the first story in a series and I look forward to reading the next one.

Little Miss Eyes of BlueLittle Miss Eyes of Blue by Holly Tierney-Bedord
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Little Miss Eyes of Blue is the prequel to The Woman America Loves a Latte by Holly Tierney-Bedord. We met Veloura (Vee) in The Woman America Loves a Latte when she finally had a little luck, landing her dream job- as the “face” for Caprice Cappuccino chain and the ‘adventure’ that ensues. Well in this book, we go back to her childhood to see where it all started. A little girl who hasn’t had it easy learns a lot about human nature, kindness, and much about herself. This is a great story, although it definitely has a different ‘feel’ to it than The Woman America Loves a Latte- I am glad Ms. Tierney-Bedord decide to give us more of Vee’s journey.

Thank-you, Ms. Tierney-Bedord.

Misfortune of Song: Druid’s Brooch Series Book 5 by Christy Nicholas – Review by Angela Hayes

Misfortune of Song (Druid's Brooch #5)Misfortune of Song by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Misfortune of Song is the fifth book in the Druid’s Brooch Series by Christy Nicholas. This is a historical fantasy- with action, adventure, magic, paranormal elements, drama, romance, mystery, humour, young love, challenges, heartbreak, betrayal, danger, battles, bargains, and fantastic world building. I have said it before, and I say it again, I really love the attention to detail and vividly descriptive storytelling that Ms. Nicholas excels at- it brings her stories to life and makes them very realistic, believable, and entirely immersive. As with the other books in this series that I have read, this is really well written, intriguing, and engaging. The story pulled me in and kept my attention right from the beginning. The character/s are complex, fully realised individuals who were cleverly crafted- with interesting and quirky natures.
I haven’t read the books in this series in sequence- instead picking books by random- thankfully each book is able to be read as a standalone. Having said that though, if you love a great fantasy with lots of historical elements, then you would most definitely enjoy the other books in this series as well- and after reading one, you will probably want to explore more/all.
In this book we meet Maelan and his granddaughter Orlagh, who live in Ireland in the 12th century. Maelan is determined to protect his granddaughter, even from herself, as well as fulfil his duty to chief, and uphold the family name. Orlagh is a little headstrong and impulsive, and tests all the boundaries he tries to impose. But choices are made, and the consequences are quite disastrous. Maelan must decide what he is prepared to do in order to save her? Can he succeed? What happens? You really should read the story and discover all the intriguing details for yourself- it’s well worth your time!

Thank you, Ms. Nicholas!

Love on the Line by Laurie Lewis a five-star read that you would give a limb for. This is the second novel in the Graykens series, part of the Great expectations Love stories, I would recommend you read them in order. Matt and Mikayla have a story that will test you, it will wring your emotions out and leave you in a heap. But it will also blow you away as its such a beautiful story, I know its odd to say anything about cancer can be beautiful but the author some how manages to bring it together and makes it so. You need this series, if you are having a bad day, give it a read and you won’t be any longer. If you are looking for a good read, then pick it up, you wont be disappointed.

Lights, Camera, Action (Paranormal Talent Agency #1) by Heather Silvio – Review by Sarah Oakes

Lights, Camera, Action (Paranormal Talent Agency, #1)Lights, Camera, Action by Heather Silvio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about acting. Catherine is an empathy launching her acting agency business in Las Vegas. Things are going well as she sets up shop and hires new actors for movie projects. But at the same time, actresses are turning up dead in mysterious circumstances across the city. Before too long, her agency is targeted. With her lead actor suspected of murder and a killer closing in, can she solve the mystery before its too late?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Catherine doing what she loves and also standing up for herself or Alex as charming but also kind underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the bubbly Mia or the creepy councilwoman or the strange Robin.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like in the scenes with the party full of life and colour and people with the vivid sense of the flowers smelling so strong it is as if you were actually there. Or the sense of colour with the masquerade ball with bright greens and blues and purples and blacks with wonderful costumes perfectly written. This contrasted beautifully with the pure white council room chamber that was too perfect for a sense of unease.
The use of suspense was written well, with mystery and intrigue making you want to keep reading to find out what really happened. I also enjoyed the use of the supernatural with powers and magical creatures unusual to this kind of novel. This mix with the realism of acting and crime made for a captivating read.
The only issue I would raise is that it felt like the protagonist was talking to audience instead of being a narrative, giving it a light hearted tone that didn’t fit with the serious themes of death and crime but this could be resolved by switching to the third person. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Misfortune of Song was another great read from the Druid’s brooch series! I have kind of dipped in and out of the series and haven’t read the books in order however the ones that I have read, including this one, have been really enjoyable reads. I find that I am instantly transported into the imaginative and creative worlds that this author has created. The characters are always well thought out and you find that you can’t help but want to see what happens to them in their story. There is a lot of action in this story which definitely kept my interest from beginning to end. I really enjoy historical fiction so it’s great that I can add this series to my collection of ones that I have enjoyed reading.
I would definitely recommend this book and the series, the authors writing is fantastic, very creative and the stories are definitely entertaining. I am definitely looking forward to reading the other books in the series!

Fortitude was an excellent read and one that I found really difficult to put down. I really like historical fiction but I’m more of a romance type of reader so when I read the blurb for this book I was intrigued to try something historical and a little different and I am so glad that I did, I loved every minute of this story. There were some pats that for us today were hard to even comprehend but for the time period that it was written about that is how people thought and for me I was impressed with how to author dealt with them. I have read books by this author before so I knew it would be well written but what shone through for me was the level of detail that the author included I could tell that she had really researched well before writing this story. I liked that characters, I thought that they were well developed and I connected with them.
I thought that Fortitude was definitely a great read and I look forward to more from this author again in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vantage Point is the fourth book in the Gray Ghost series by author Amy McKinley and if you’ve been waiting for Hawk’s story, like I have, then your wait is finally over. Hawk Ares is the quiet, loner and the sharpshooter for the Gray Ghost team. Stella Klein is the fiery haired and fiery temper waitress neighbor who becomes Hawk’s love interest.
While working on a case Hawk overhears his neighbor, “Red”, arguing with a man and takes it upon himself to protect her. Hawk has been infatuated with Red since his first glimpse of her and after a terrible childhood Hawk will do whatever it takes to protect an innocent. What he doesn’t count on is his past coming back to haunt him.
I love this series and with every book I fall more and more in love. Hawk has been an enigma since his first appearance and his story does not disappoint. I enjoyed his and Stella’s romance immensely. Stella’s backstory was fascinating with the look into her grandmother’s escape from the Nazis in World War II. Hawk’s past was sad and I found myself tearing up at times and glad that he was able to build his own family. If you are looking for action, adventure, suspense and romance this book hits all the marks.

Hazed by Brittany Butler was a phenomenal college romance read! It’s intense, emotional, touching and heart-wrenching, it was everything I wanted and more! This is the first book in the Hazed series and my first book by this author, but it certainly won’t be my last!

I found that the storyline flowed really well and yes at times I found Taylor to be frustratingly oblivious, but it made her even more relatable as we often ignore suspicious behavior from those we love most. The chemistry between the two main characters had me hooked from the beginning until the very end and I can’t wait to continue this series to get answers to all my questions.

Ok so I have been officially Hazed…This is my first Brittany Butler book and all I can ask myself is Why? I loved this story, parts were not easy to read but that is because they were written in a way that made them feel so so real. I could feel the emotions these characters were feeling, I swear I could. The struggles that plague Hayze and his constant battle to prove he will fix them felt very real and I found myself falling hard for him and wanting so bad to help…Then on the other side I also felt every emotion that Taylor was experiencing and agreeing with her as far as wondering if things would ever be different..This one had me all messed up and then it ended and here i sit wanting…no…needing more…

I loved every word in this book, I adored the characters, even the ones that angered me but they were written so well… The family aspect angered me many times and my heart was totally with Taylor and how she was brought up.

Im totally rambling here…I can only say Read this book…it was written beautifully and I MUST have the next in this series as soon as possible. I also much go look at what I’ve missed by not reading this author much earlier.

Loved it!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Billionaire and the Therapist is the first novel in the Clean Billionaire Romance series by Kim Koby. This is my first novel by this author.

Natalie moves to Texas after a traumatic experience. She wants to start over but unfortunately she is always looking over her shoulder. She just wants to feel safe again.

After losing his wife a few years ago, John is adjusting to being a single father to his daughter Catherine. But when she stops talking, he isn’t sure what to do. With the recommendation of a speech therapy, he decides to give it a try even though he is skeptical.

When the two worlds collide, will a romance possibly be in the mix?

This was a short story with wonder characters and an interesting plot.

I don’t want to give too much away. I highly recommend it.

The 7th in this series yet stands well on its own, this is my 2nd book by this author and her writing will pull you in and not let go..The descriptions of the surroundings and all that is going on helps in visualizing everything perfectly.

While this is not a chosen genre of mine, I absolutely enjoyed every page and can not wait for the next one which I already have waiting for me, the cover made me notice, the synopsis made me choose it, and the writing has made me stay.

I particularly enjoyed the characters in this story..Conall was awesome and trying to fulfill a promise he made to his father turns out to be more of a challenge than he realized, I loved the family bond between him and Lainn and I loved how real it felt..The interactions between the two made me smile many times.

Looking forward to see where this story goes next and if you are looking for a really good historical fantasy novel do yourself a favor and read all of this series in order..I do plan to do that very soon
