Pandora’s Price (Hart & Cole Book 3) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Pandora's Price (Hart & Cole Book 3)Pandora’s Price by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this series, I highly suggest reading all books from the beginning to help enrich your enjoyment of this series. In this book we get to see what pushes Darren and Luisa’s marriage to the point of their destruction. Will they be able to pull every thing back together, make broken hearts whole again? I loved these characters but they did make me frustrated in parts with their action but they did make the story, they made it real for me as well. This is a must read!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There aren’t enough star ratings to give this book, this author, this series…5 stars just aren’t enough!!

I have been sitting here staring at my screen for no less than 10 minutes trying to figure out a way to review this book, I actually titled this review this morning and have had to walk away from it a few times. I just don’t have words to do this review justice and that makes me so so sad. I’ve gone back to my other reviews of the first 2 and feel like there’s still so much more to say. This author is Phenomenal…Brilliant in her storytelling. I kept trying to slow myself down because of many reasons, one I was so afraid all the time of what was going to happen, and two I just didn’t want it to end.

She transported me directly into this book, I was there, I watched all this happen and felt every single emotion that has ever been named, I even felt the texture of the walls of the different scenes. I don’t know how to explain how real this story felt and OMG the relationships in this whole series were Amazing but this book took a couple relationship to new heights, and I’m not even talking about romantic relationships…I am so in love with these people, A couple I liked a little earlier in the series then disliked them then ended with loving almost every one of them. What a ride this author has took me on in these books, and now to find out there’s another?

**faints**

MUST HAVE THESE ON MY BOOKSHELF, I want to read them again right now but wont until I get the physical copies of these in my hands… I have favorite authors, we all do, those authors that we just one click because of their name being on the cover, my list is broken up into a couple categories..This author and this series are on my favorites of all time list and I don’t care what I read in the future, how many more get added to those lists, this author and this series will always hold one of the top spots… I love everything about these books!

I pray this author comes to a signing close to me because I promise no matter what I’m doing I will be there, I have to meet her and tell her how very much I love her writing and her books!
This in my opinion is a MUST READ series…Do not for any reason read this out of order…There are no ifs ands or buts, you will lose so much of this if you don’t read every one of them!

Phenomenally Brilliant!!!

Rafferty (Default Distraction #2) by A.S. Roberts – Review by Lisa Helmick

Rafferty (Default Distraction #2)Rafferty by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rafferty (Default Distraction #2)
By A.S. Roberts
Rated 5 stars

This is so heartwarming and uplifting! A story of overcoming obstacles and long lost love. This book is one that will keep me coming back to read over and over. I love how it slowly uncovers all the problems, the passion and the reasoning. So so much history here. Hearts have been crushed, relationships have been cut off and tears have been cried. It’s amazing how much the past dictates the future and you don’t even realize it until your older. Then one day BAM!

These characters made me smile one minute then turn around and be sad the next. I kind of admire Rafferty. Once he realizes how much he has missed and loves Lauren he vows to never give her up again. His comment at one time is how she was not a fleeting thought through the missing years. She was a monthly, daily and every second thought. Awwww! He is a man who goes after what he wants!

The secondary characters usually help make a book in my opinion. In here we have the rest of the band members (Brody, Cade, Luke)as well as the other besties (Winter and Amy). They all did wonderful but I have to say one of the BEST ones was Flint. He added his own brand of UMPH! to the story. I really just loved everything about this character. His scenes were unforgettable!

Not my first read by this author and it won’t be the last. I enjoy her stories. In this series
The author intermixed scenes from the last book (Brody) and this one. Same scene just from another characters POV. I have read this before (in other books) and find it Interesting what the characters are thinking and reacting to from previous books. So I would highly recommend reading Brody first as it is amazing as well! I eagerly look forward to Cade’s story.

Gamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir and D’Ann Lindun – Review by Jenni Bishop

Gamble on a CowboyGamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir and D’Ann Lindun are two stories that are western romances that tugged at my heartstrings. A Vegas Cowboy by Melissa Keir and Vegas, Baby, Vegas by D’Ann Lindun had me hooked and loved the journey between the characters that was both sweet and sexy and the telling of their stories is well done.

A Vegas Cowboy – Daisy has been barely living from a tragedy that stole the loves of his life but when a chance encounter at an airport spikes his interest, he starts to wonder if maybe there could be more. Waking up the next morning he gets more than he bargained for.

Vegas, Baby, Vegas – Bailey McKlellan is making it in a mans cutthroat business but one man seems determined to make his mark know, in more than one way. Along the way Bailey is faced with a life changing decision but what happens when that secret comes to life?

They are both sexy, heartfelt and lovely stories that have lots of steam and sizzling moments and they will definitely capture your heart.

Taming the Troublemaker (The Hills of Texas Book 3) by Kadie Scott – Review by Jenni Bishop

Taming the Troublemaker (Hills of Texas, #3)Taming the Troublemaker by Kadie Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Taming the Troublemaker (Hills of Texas Series book 3) by Kadie Scott is a sweet small  town romance story. The characters are wonderful and they all crossover in each of the  others stories. Kadie’s romances are well written and are sweet addictions with feisty,  flirty banter and a little drama, plenty of chemistry and love, fun and lots of humour.    Autry Hill is a bit of a player but he’s sick of that life and reputation. He is finally given  a chance to get what he wants and is determined to prove he can do. However, he didn’t  count on one feisty woman coming into his life.    Beth Cooper has always been the good girl, the one nobody looks twice at but she has  always had a crush on the one person who could crush her heart and now one small boy  just may be the one to bring them together.    The events in this book had me laughing and it is another great addition to the series. I  can’t wait for the next book.

THE PROTECTOR: MAC (COVER SIX SECURITY BOOK 1) BY LISA B. KAMPS – REVIEW BY MELISSA AGENA

The Protector: MAC (Cover Six Security, #1)The Protector: MAC by Lisa B. Kamps
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Intrigue, Mystery, Hot and Page Turning! That was just the first three chapters! The Protector: Mac is the first book in the Cover Six Security Series by Lisa B. Kamps. The cover of this book was definitely eye catching then I read the synopsis, which drew me in. Once I started reading the first chapter it was all over for me! Alpha male at its finest! Gordon or Mac is a retired Army Ranger turned security for Cover Six. Tabitha or TR is a reporter/journalist that is on a story right now that apparently has people coming after her. The only person that can keep her safe and sound is Mac. Mac is willing to put everything on the line to keep TR safe and that includes his heart. Anytime these two are together, there are sparks that everyone can see but Mac tries to ignore. This book is action packed and is filled with constant mystery. Not to mention filled with a large amount of sizzling hot tension! I loved every second of it and I cannot wait for the next book in the series to come out.

Devil’s Backbone (Wild Beasts Series Book 5) by T. Birmingham – Review by Angela Hayes

Devil's Backbone (Wild Beasts Series Book 5)Devil’s Backbone by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

The Devil’s Backbone is the fifth book in the Wild Beasts Series by T. Birmingham. It is a fantastic paranormal romance with lots of action, danger, drama, emotion, mystery, suspense, shifters, Gods, magic, second chances, and self-discovery. As I have said before through this superb series, I love the way Ms. Birmingham builds the tension and adds a mysteriousness, and suspense to her books. And as I have come to expect from her, she had me on the edge of my seat, anxiously reading to discover where the story would lead.
This book could be read as a standalone, but I don’t recommend it. If you haven’t read the other books, I strongly suggest that you do- because there’s so much back story, character introductions, and other relevant information contained in those books- and having all that information on board will greatly enhance your overall reading experience of not only this book, but the series as a whole.
As with the other books in this series, this has a complex, multi-layered storyline- which Ms. Birmingham has masterfully woven into a quite an engrossing read.
This story focuses on Tess Thompson and Benjamin Oliver- although characters we’ve met in previous book/s also make appearances. I really enjoyed following along on their ‘adventure’- finding out all about them, and what got them to this point. I really felt for Tess and what she’d been through. All that pain and suffering at the hands of the people who were meant to love and protect her. But even after everything she’d been through, and taking her unique genetic traits into account, she didn’t like to see people suffer, and was still kind and caring. But, she’d kind of shut down, wasn’t ‘really’ living- just making the motions really- never revealing her true self, or letting others get too ‘close’. She had a few friends- James (The Lodge leader), Devon (her former student), Annie (an Other), and Ben (a previous resident and trainer at The Lodge)- but even with them she never gave herself completely. This story allows us to see her struggles, what she had endured, and the self-realization and discovery she goes through. She’s a really special character, and was really easy to get emotionally invested in. Add Ben to the mix and I was hooked. I was rooting for them the whole way through. And that ending! I hope that was setting us up for the next book!!
The world-building, legend, and lore was incredibly well done, superbly developed- and entirely believable. The characters are extremely interesting, endearing, and fully developed. There were a lot of emotional factors to this story- moments of extreme heartbreak, as well as other moments that were truly heartfelt, tender, and touching.
My favourite of the series so far. I can’t wait for “Devil May Care” (Book #6).

Thank you, Ms. Birmingham!

…Go big or go home… Darren gambled everything for love – for the woman he’s loved his entire adult life… and the only person he can never seem to truly understand.

Luisa can pinpoint exactly when the shift happened in their marriage – shortly after Darren hired his protégée Nicole on a whim… a ‘reckless decision’ that he never knew would cost him their marriage.

But what if she can get the love she so desperately needs… just not from her husband?

Told from both points of view, “Pandora’s Price” explores the forces that bring a marriage to its breaking point – vulnerability, mistrust and resentment – and seeks the redemption that can pull them back from the edge of destruction, and salvage everything in the face of crisis.

Book 3 culminates Darren’s & Luisa’s story, and ties up the first 3 Books of the series. Book 4 is coming in 2019.

Cinderfella by Kristy Brown – Review by Angela Hayes

CinderfellaCinderfella by Kristy Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Cinderfella by Kristy Brown is a bit of a twist on the fairytale of Cinderella. Ms. Brown has gender swapped the roles and given a modern spin, and her own unique flare to the story- making it both captivating and interesting.
Ash lives in a barn with his adorable pot-bellied-pig, Gus. His step father and step-brothers treat him badly and he hasn’t got things easy. So, what happens when a beautiful woman turns up at the barn, needing help?
Ellie is running from the weight of her responsibilities when she finds herself at Ash’s barn. He’s sweet, kind, and sexy- so what happens when Ms. Brown adds a little splash of magic? This is well worth the read to find out!
This story is as sweet as cherry pie- but well balanced with a little humour, some emotion, touching moments, and wonderful romance.
Very enjoyable!

Thank you, Ms. Brown!

Turning the Tide (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 5) By Phoebe Alexander. Once again this author takes my breath away with her words! Without fail the author takes readers on incredible journeys with the wonderful characters and amazing storylines that are written. These books can definitely be read out of order and as a stand-alone but I do highly recommend the entire series as each one is incredible. The connection and emotions written into this story grabbed my heart and won’t let go. The characters Luke and Connie immediately drew me into their story and I stayed there well into the night because I simply couldn’t put it down. I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend it!

Gamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir & D’Ann Lindun – Review by Angela Hayes

Gamble on a CowboyGamble on a Cowboy by Melissa Keir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Gamble On A Cowboy is a fantastic book comprised of two captivating western romances written by Melissa Keir and D’Ann Lindun. These two talented authors have teamed up to each bring us a story centred around Cowboys and Vegas. The stories are well written, romantic, sweet, touching and emotional.
The book contains:

A Vegas Cowboy By: Melissa Keir

Alicia Cortez has just arrived in Vegas for the National Restaurateurs Convention as the keynote speaker. She’s an expert at turning failing businesses around and making them profitable and successful. When she takes a tumble leaving the airport, a very sexy stranger saves her from what could have been a very painful landing. Little does she suspect that in only a matter of hours she will wake up married to the hunk. How could that happen in such a short time? Well that’s the magic of Vegas!
David MacKenzie is in Vegas to accept an award. He hopes that the recognition will bring his small-town restaurant some extra attention and is also a chance for him to expand his marketing. He loved his restaurant and small town life, but things weren’t the same since his wife and daughter died 6 years ago. To keep his mind off things, he channelled all his time and energy into the business, so he certainly wasn’t interested in another relationship- he’d had his chance at love, then it was snatched away. So, how does he end up married? If you love cowboys, Vegas, Second chances, love at first sight, humour, funny banter, emotion, and quick, easy reads- then this is definitely a story for you!

Vegas, Baby, Vegas By: D’Ann Lindun

For Bailey McKlellen and Maverick Cartwright, it was sparks and steam right from the moment they crossed paths. He irritated her just as much as he attracted her. She was determined to carry on with business and not let him distract or undermine her. As a female stock contractor, she’d worked hard to earn her respected reputation, and she wasn’t going to let some handsome new-comer take that away from her. But the guy is a thorn in her side, and an itch she needs to scratch. So, after a few drinks one night, she decides the best way to get him out of her head and get back to business, is to ‘hook-up’ with him- then he’d be out of her system. But things don’t work out that way, and her night of passion gives her much more than she ever expected.
Add some sabotage, a little danger, some angst, drama, tension, chemistry, and a little mystery- and this story really takes off. Ms. Lindun delivers a steamy, heart-warming read!

 

Thank you, Ms. Keir & Ms. Lindun!

Linda Gets her Groove Thing (The Green Room Chronicles #2)Linda Gets her Groove Thing by J.D. Frettier – Review by: Jessica Ranslow                               My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After reading the first book in this series, I found myself thinking back to the story and giggling to myself. Book two did not disappoint in giving me more chuckle worthy material. When Linda finds herself in The Green Room, she is greeted by Dee and Bonnie, the two main characters from book one. While waiting to go to body sculpting, Linda shares her story with Dee and Bonnie about how her ex husband left her in financial ruins and had an affair before his death. With a little help from Edwina and the brilliant Dr. Draper, Linda is given an opportunity to introduce her ex husband to Karma with front row seats to the show.

J.D. Frettier has created a great series that is sure to put a smile on your face, make you laugh out loud as you read, and will leave you hoping that a Green Room exists.

The Protector: MAC was a great 5 star read and book 1 in the Cover Six Security.This is also a spinoff from the Chesapeake Blade series. And the cover is amazingly hot. This is my first read from Lisa B. Kamps and I loved it.

TR is a reporter looking for a story, when she ends up in danger Mac is determined to keep her safe. Can he keep his heart out of it or will he let his guard down? Can he keep her safe?

There is so much more to this great read.I was on the edge of my seat with suspense, I had to see what was coming next. All of the secondary characters were great. I was left with some questions that I’m hoping book two will answer for me. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. Lisa B. Kamps does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing. 1-click and get started today.

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings is the first I have ready by Maria DeBlassie. It is a collection of essays with varying topics, but all with the same underlying theme. They remind us to enjoy the little things in life, savor the moments, conversations, memories, etc. They read like blog entries, each able to be read individually. Her writing style is unlike any I have read before. She is very descriptive and deep at times, and the book brings out feelings that I didn’t think was possible. The stories are vivid, and you live them with her. Great collection and reminder to stop and smell the roses every once in a while. Don’t take life for granted.

Home is Where the Heart is
The Wilder Sisters
By Melissa Keir
☆☆☆☆☆
The is a complete novel, even though it is written as 5 novellas. It is the love stories that will keep you coming back for more.

The Wilder sisters each have their own story. 5 completely different women, with the same heart and soul. Each novella will take you on a different rollercoaster ride. This book says it all, not what I had expected at all. I cried some really ugly tears, and sobbed long after I finished. In fact I am trying not to break down again as I write this review.

Melissa Keir has really brought a beautiful story about families. What each sibling thought and how they thought the family would react. As I read this book I kept thinking about how strong these 5 women are. I feel like this story hit my home for me. I must say I LOVE THESE WOMEN and their FAMILIES. I could not put this book down after I started it. Beautiful story Melissa Keir! I will be looking for more from this author.

Terror in Boring Town (A Sam and Rex Adventure Book 1) by Hoot N. Holler is a five star novel. I a, secretly a teen novel junkie. I teach math to middle schoolers, so I know what they like and what they don’t. A lot of books adults try to write for them are hokey but this one was great. I felt like Sam and Rex were totally relatable and enjoyed it even as an adult. There was terror and suspense and drama between friends. What more can you ask for? I also loved that the town name is Boring Town, because it really usually is, except it happened to be named for the first postmaster. Definitely recommend this book. I am excited to read more in this series.

Great read for older children as well as adults. Suspense and mystery are the events in this not so Boring Town. Let’s not forget the comedy and laughter that takes place in Boring Town.

Hoot N. Holler are a classic team for writing this book. You will fall in love with Sam and Rex. As like every 12 year old we know. Will find themselves getting into trouble, but not so much they can’t get out of it. When the boys try to convince the town of the the danger, nobody believes them. I enjoyed this story and the characters. Your 9 -12 year old boys will love this story, so will the girls. But for boys who don’t like to read, this is a must for them. You can bet I’ll be looking for more from Hoot N Holler. My grandkids will are going to love this book as well. Well Done!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Home Is Where the Heart Is: The Wilder Sisters was a great 5 star read. We get 5 stories from the 5 Wilder sisters that will pull at your heart strings. These are all novella’s that had my emotions all over the place.

Forever Love (Syndie), Beach Desires (Stacey), A Christmas Accident (Sherri), Coming Home (Shevonne) and Holiday Homecoming (Sheryl)

Each story is a sister coming home and encountering their own struggles and finding what they need to be safe and to have happiness. All the sisters are very strong, each of their stories were unique, second chance romance, miracles, love and so much more. The family bonds in so many ways as they go through some very emotional times. All of the characters added a great element to each story and I was pulled right in by Melissa Keir’s writing. I look forward to reading more from her. This is a must read collection.

I couldn’t wait to start reading this book after having read the first three. It is my recommendation that you read these books in order. My expectations for this book were exceeded at every turn. I loved reading this series from the very beginning and as much as I loved this book I am sad that this is the last one. I enjoyed every minute of Sera’s journey and going along for the ride. The author does an exceptional job with her attention to detail and making you believe in the fantastical things that happen throughout the story. There is more than the battle of good vs evil in the world there is also the battle of good vs evil within and that made this book and series that much more engaging for me. This book is full of action, wonderful characters, and so much more. I highly recommend this book and this entire series!!

Terror in Boring Town (A Sam and Rex Adventure, #1)Terror in Boring Town by Hoot N. Holler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So I’ll start with the obvious, this is a kids book generated for the preteens to young teen age group. I believe this is a great story for kids, I believe they would stay interested in finishing the story. The story takes place during the summer. So obviously the school is out and by the title Sam and Rex live in a boring town. Their minds are pretty active in this book making it a mystery they have to solve. There are many funny moments in the book making it even more enjoyable for kids in my opinion. I think this will be a big hit for kids wanting to “investigate” along with Sam and Rex.

Cinderfella
By Kristy Brown
Rated 5 stars

This is a cute story filled with magic, romance, hopes and dreams. I enjoyed the characters and could *feel* their problems. I really felt sorry for Ash. All that he has endured from his step brothers and family. His continued positive attitude and happy face surprised me at times. I guess it just took years for him to accept his lot and find the good in everything. I commend him. Princess Elle was a surprise. Her irritation for the castle, her duties and shockingly the “airs” that she didn’t put on. I guess the grass always does look greener on the other side no matter what the situation.

This line below spoken between the pair slay-ed me.

Princess:
“Don’t look at me!
No one is supposed to see me like this”

Ash:
“I’m great at being nobody”

What Ash is really saying is “don’t worry I’m used to being invisible and have no one to tell” as well as trying to alleviate her worries and make her feel better. So heartbreaking and lovely at the same time.

This is a first time author for me. She did a wonderful job. The story flowed and she made me care about the characters. I love that it’s filled with a good vs evil theme throughout the whole book.

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

Terror in Boring Town (A Sam and Rex Adventure, #1)Terror in Boring Town
By: Hoot N. Holler
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Terror in Boring Town (A Sam and Rex Adventure, #1) by Hoot N. Holler was a fun, entertaining read, that had that old school The Hardy Boys feeling.

My first read from this author, I went in with an open mind and channeled my inner child. That wasn’t hard, cause, well, I’m a 5 year old trapped in a 30 year old body.. jk, jk.. maybe… In all seriousness, this book was as I said, fun, super engaging, and perfect if you have a young reader that likes quik humor, extra characters and a mystery that will get your mind working, then this book is perfect. Not only that, it has enough adultness, that if you wanted to make it a family read, then you’ll have just as fun a time as your litte reader.

Overall this book brought me back to a simpler time, and to my early days a reading. The wording was easy to follow, the plot was complex in a way it would be for a young reader. So yes, I did figure out what was going on pretty fast, but as this book isn’t meant for my level, I didn’t mind, or care, cause as I have said like twice or more, this book is all around fun. Like disney channel TV movie fun. It has little bit of everything, and it gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

If the Shoe Fits (Liberty Lawrence Series Book 3) by Bea Stevens – Review by Sunday Barnaby

If The Shoe Fits... (The Liberty Lawrence Series Book #3)If The Shoe Fits… by Bea Stevens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If the Shoe Fits by Bea Stevens
Five Stars

If the Shoe Fits is the third book in the Liberty Laurence Series by Bea Stevens. This book can be read as a stand alone, but I would recommend reading the series in order. All of the books are great and they have recurring characters throughout the series. This book had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. I love the way this author can make me laugh out loud and give such heartwarming feel good emotions. Libby is back in this story with a new dream job, that isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The story is full of suspense, action and romance. It is really fun to watch this series spin out and I’m hope that it will continue with another story from Bea coming soon. If you are looking for a story that will make you smile, I highly recommend this book and series.

Linda Gets Her Groove Thing: A Spicy Romantic Comedy About the Afterlife (The Green Room Chronicles Book 2)
By JD Frettier

I loved reading this book. I was glad to see Dee and Bonnie in this story because I really enjoyed them in first book. The books in this series can be read as a standalone but if you do read the them in order you will get to know some of the other characters and you get the bonus of a book that’s just as much fun and great to read. This is a really short read but it packs a punch and is loads of fun to read. Linda White finds herself in the green room and in order to find out what happens in the green this is a must read, but I will tell you that you will enjoy reading what these ladies have in store for Linda’s cheating ex husband. I highly recommend this book.

Home Is Where the Heart Is (The Wilder Sister Series Books 1-5) by Melissa Keir – Review by Lisa Helmick

Home is Where the Heart Is: The Wilder Sisters
By Melissa Keir
Rated 3 stars

This starts out with three novellas. They are short, sweet and to the point. I really didn’t care for them. It just seemed the characters were very forward and within a short time they decided they loved and want marriage. Apparently I am too practical for that. The fourth one was better again until the ending…rushed. But the last one Holiday Homecoming was in my opinion the best. There was time for getting to know the other characters, some light romance along with danger and finally love. One thing I did like (which became more prevalent as the stories moved forward) was how they “kinda” built upon each other. I think that’s why I enjoyed the last the best. I actually had tears in my eyes while reading the ending of Sheryl’s story. I can’t imagine!
This is an ok read and if you enjoy quick romance with a lovely family theme…this is for you!

Knights Who Won My Heart (Knights Series Book 4) by Sonya Jesus – Review by Lisa Brydalski

Knights Who Won My Heart (Knights, #4)Knights Who Won My Heart by Sonya Jesus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Knights Who Won My Heart is the fourth and final book in the Knights series by Sonya Jesus. Ms. Jesus definitely pulls out all the stops and ends this series with a bang. Just when you think you know what is going to happen Ms. Jesus throws out a curve ball and leaves the reader clinging to the edge of their seat.
Throughout the series we watch Amelia make tough choices and grow up along the way to become one of the strongest characters I personally have read in a while. Add in a manipulative serial killer who is the only person that knows his endgame as well as a group of “Soccer Gods” and you have the makings of a wild ride. The Knights series is one that catches your attention from the first book all the way to the last page of the last book. It is a different and refreshing read and I recommend it to any reader interested in something a little different.
