The Prisoner of the Dead (Dead World Book 1) by Megan Mackie – Review by Erica Shoebridge

The Prisoner of the Dead: Zombie Thriller Dystopia (Dead World Book 1)The Prisoner of the Dead: Zombie Thriller Dystopia by Megan Mackie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A good zombie post-apocalyptic novel with lots of action and fighting. Baron, our hero, is hard to get to know and has a serious lack of social skills and graces. When he is thrust into the hands of the Athelings as their unfortunate prisoner, he’s going to need to learn to communicate and work as a team in short order, if all of them hope to get out alive. The supernatural elements worked well, and were skillfully written. I liked that the book moved at a fast clip, with lots of interesting plot points. A good read for sci-fi and zombie lovers.

Doctor D’s Orderly Affair (Doctors of Eastport General) by C.A. King – Review by Betsy Melano

Doctor D's Orderly AffairDoctor D’s Orderly Affair by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emily is a new orderly at Eastport General Hospital and is hearing some gossip about Doctor Desmond, aka Doctor D. Since Emily has never met Doctor D, she imagines he is that almost too perfect kind of Doctor who seems to have everything and really doesn’t believe he really exists. In all honesty, Doctor Desmond does exist and sure sounds like everyone’s dream. What the gossips don’t talk about is how much Doctor D cares for his patients and how hard he works to help the children under his care.
Overall I really enjoyed the book. It’s a short novella type story for Doctors of Eastport General. I am looking forward to checking out some of the stories written by other authors for this series.

Class Clown (Ghost Girl Series) by Allan Evans – Review by Karen Pearman

Class ClownClass Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a new author for me, but I was intrigued by the cover as I love anything horror related, and because of Pennywise I love clowns. I felt this was a perfect fit for me based off that and considering it was the young adult genre that made me grab it. I’m ecstatic with the glee after finishing it. I would say that everyone needs to read this, but I will hold that statement and say everyone except those scared of clowns should read it. While I found it to be a fantastic read, those with clown fears would probably not agree. I found this to be a very entertaining and well written story. I was literally on the edge of my seat turning the pages. Some parts of the storyline gave me goosebumps. I LOVED IT! I highly recommend this book! I look forward to reading more of this authors books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book by Theresa Pocock. Right from the beginning there was drama and intrigue. The book kept my interest as it led me on a journey with many twists and turns. Theresa Pocock has created a dynamic world full of interesting characters and I enjoyed my journey through it. The cliff hanger ending left me breathless as I wait on the next installment of this series. Theresa Pocock is an author to watch, and I look forward to seeing more from her.

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1)Music Man by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Music Man is a single Dad rock star romantic comedy and is a fun and enjoyable read. Book one in a new series by K.L. Montgomery, each book in the ‘Romance in Rehoboth’ series is a standalone story set in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. “You’re never too old to fall in love with a rock star. Or chase your dreams”. Claire has just turned 40 and fallen in love with Jack, a want to be, rock star. Claire’s not sure if it’s his guitar, his beard or the flannel he wears but she finds Jack utterly irresistible. Music has always been Jacks first love but having failed to make it big as a singer and songwriter he turned to teaching music instead. When he starts teaching piano to Claire, he finds himself falling for the stunning read head. Then just as they start a relationship Jack’s big break comes and he has a chance to become a rock star and fulfil his first love.
I enjoyed this romantic comedy, Claire is an independent and strong female lead character and Jack is essentially a nice guy. I like the fact that Montgomery has written a romance novel where the main characters are over 40, rather than the younger norm. The storyline flowed nicely and I was fully immersed in Claire and Jack’s love story and loved the setting of Delaware’s top vacation destination. I look forward to reading other books in this series.

Age of Secrets (The Druid’s Brooch Series Book 8) by Christy Nicholas – Review by Caítríona Brauders

Age of Secrets (Druid's Brooch: #8)Age of Secrets by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t read many novels of this genre but I will be checking out more books from Christy Nicholas now that I’ve read this book.
Its a book with a comfortable vibe to it, its pace is steady and I loved the descriptions that Christy Nicholas used to really set the scene. The characters are complex and I think its easy to relate to the main character Fingin who feels like hes an outsider in life and takes comfort and peace in the shape of a dog called Bran. A great insight to the relationship of man and mans best friend.
A feel good read and good if you’re looking something a little different.

Black Blade (Black Blade Book 1) by Alexander Charalambides – Review by Jonell Collins

Black BladeBlack Blade by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first started reading Black Blade (Black Blade Book 1) by Alexander Charalambides, I was a bit put off with the short clipped dialogue of our hero and heroine. But as I continued to read, I realized how normal that was. That is exactly how a great many of us speak and communicate. It was worth sticking with it because as you progress through the story the other characters in the story have dialogue that is a thing of beauty. I love language and how it flows together, and this author brings it to the fore. The characters are very unique, well described and memorable. The world he builds is diverse and you can almost smell it. There is plenty of action, twists and turns and quite unpredictable. Then, of course, there is always the story within the story. Just a little head up here the story goes at a nice little pace until you near the end. It’s a page turning roller coaster after that. Be prepared.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In Journeys Through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) by James Talisman we meet again some of the same characters from the first book and who doesn’t like a save-the-world book. With young adults Matt, Julia, and Dan who are on their way to … becoming, and the characters on the spaceship Basilisk having second thoughts, this is a great little world that gets your mind to thinking. This is not a book to just zip through it’s a book to think through.

P.A.W.S. by Debbie Manber Kupfer is an excellent little book. A good book for a young adult to read. It’s about belonging about finding your tribe. Mary spends many years as the odd man out. When she enters a new world and finds her people she finally learns what family is all about. Great story, with great characters. I think I will be remembering this author because I want a little more.

Aberration: Book One by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebeccae McEwen, is a fast paced, simply written story. They set up a believable world with nicely built characters. It has a good plot and its left a little open ended for more. I see a series coming on. Even a little romance going on in this story that some might feel uncomfortable with.

Age of Secrets (The Druid’s Brooch Series Book 8) by Christy Nicholas – Review by Jonell Collins

Age of Secrets (Druid's Brooch: #8)Age of Secrets by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Age of Secrets: Druid’s Brooch Series: #8 by Christy Nicholas, is a delightful book. Reading this book was pure enjoyment. It’s a slowed motion kind of book and you really get to know Fingin. It’s like he becomes a really good friend because you know about his past and you know how he’s living now. The story develops at a slow pace so that you become familiar with all the other characters and their places of importance in Fingin’s life. A story so well-written you feel like you’re right there with him on his journey. Through his quest he finds purpose in life and I especially like this quote from the book…”Friends who make one forget self-loathing are treasures beyond that of gold or silver.” If you need a breath of fresh air this is a book you’re really going to love…

The Finder of the lucky Devil (The Lucky Devil series Book 1) by Megan Mackie – Review by Jonell Collins

The Finder of the Lucky Devil (Lucky Devil Series Book 1)The Finder of the Lucky Devil by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Finder of the Lucky Devil by Megan Mackie was such a delightful story. I loved this book. This book had me sucked in at the very first few pages. And then it was just a terrific read all the way through. It was exciting, it was adventurous, it was action packed. Go with Rune on this amazing adventure and discover who this mysterious man, St. Benedict is. What is his place in this story. It’s a well written story, it has wonderful characters, and the world that Maggie has built is easily visualized. Plenty of twists and turns here. It’s just a romping good story. If you like fantasy with a little mystery mixed in, you will really like this book. It’s left a little bit open ended which makes me think we will be seeing more of Rune and St. Benedict and I can’t wait.

Who (Stalker, #1)Who by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read from author Megan Mitcham, first in this series as well. I liked this book so much. It was a little slow going at first but i still couldn’t put it down. Loved the characters (Darren is my favorite!! Love him) This book kept me on the edge of my seat wanting more with every turn. I may have not read any Megan Mitcham before but I will absolutely read everything she writes from now on.

5out of 5 stars

Music man by K.L. Montgomery was a great read it’s a book that pulled me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Jack and Claire even when I first met them in Fat Girl. Music Man is about chasing your dreams and second chances. I just simply loved it. The characters are great, and the plot was amazing and different.
Claire dares Jack to audition for Benefiting the support art foundations and he wins now so now he must leave Claire for six weeks. What could happen in six weeks? What will happen to Jack and Claire when the six weeks are up will Jack choose his first love music or Claire? Can Claire compete with all this hype and does she really want too?

You will need to read this amazing story to find out. I highly recommend this story….

Devil’s Spawn (Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter #6)
by Manda Mellett
5 out of 5 stars

I have read quite a few books by Ms. Mellett and I have loved them from the beginning her books just get better and better. The characters are strong and well written. The plot was awesome we even get to see the other couples that we met in the first few books.
While serving as a Marine, Vanna’s husband Mace survived an explosion that took out the transport he was travelling in. He lived but suffered a traumatic brain injury which wiped his memory. What do you do when your husband doesn’t recognize you or his young son? What if living together is doing neither of you any favors? After two years of trying and they still weren’t more than strangers, I accepted defeat and we parted.
Now our son, Cas has grown into an unruly teenager, getting into trouble and
needing a father’s guiding hand. Vann is at her wits’ end, so she set out to find his dad, hoping after all these years, he might have his memory back, or at least, be persuaded to play some part in the life of the son he didn’t accept he had.
Mace is a confirmed bachelor, so when Lizard told him about a girl wanting her ‘Property of’ tat removed. Putting a patch on someone has meaning in our world. Before they cover it up, they need to discover who had claimed her as theirs.
But when they found out who’d put their name on her back, he was one of the first to offer his protection to her, and the kid she brought along with her.
Will mace step up to the plate and help with Cas? Will Mace & Vanna have a second chance for a happily ever after? You will need to read this great story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cade (Default Distraction #3) by A.S. Roberts

5 out of 5 stars

Cade is the third book in Default Distraction written by Ms. Roberts and it not my first book that I have read by her and it surely won’t be the last. Ms. Roberts blew my mind and she defiantly didn’t disappoint I think this is book is one of her best works. The characters are well written and amazing the love the little quirks these characters have. Do you believe in second chances? Do you believe in that all-consuming love?

Cade is the drummer of Default Distraction, and a Morello, being the son of a mafia boss, I get what I want, when I want it but its not everything, not to him anyway.

Then Winter walks in, she is their lead guitarist’s little sister, and she’s all grown up. She refuses to let down my guard again, once was more than enough especially for Cade Morello he is far too much to handle.

Now, Cade must convince her that what’s between them, really exists and its real.
Every touch, every taste, everything. We are the real deal, and he is not going anywhere. Even if it means following her back home to where it all started.

You will need to read this book to find out what happens to Cade and Winter but please read the books in order so you will know what’s going on with the other 3couples.

I highly recommend this book/series….

Of Magic & Scales by Natalina Reis – Review by Karyn Taylor

Of Magic and ScalesOf Magic and Scales by Natalina Reis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Of Magic and Scales is a great M/M fantasy, romantic thriller by Natalina Reis that had me captivated from the very beginning, right up to the very end. It is my first read by this author and I’m pretty sure it won’t be my last as I enjoyed this book very much.
I do like a good M/M romance but this one is that little bit different in that one of the main characters, Nael, is a merman (or merrow as they prefer to be called). If, like me you are wondering how to pronounce Nael’s name it’s pronounced Nuh/l/ (It was annoying me to the point that I messaged the author to ask!.
Aiden Mercer has been able to see magicals since he can remember and he’s not their biggest fan since he’s had a few unpleasant run in’s with some of them. That all changes when Nael Fourchard enters into his life. Many magicals are being murdered and Nael wants Aiden to help him find out who the killer is. Added to this is the incredible sexual chemistry between the 2 men although Aiden finds Nael very rude and abrupt and doesn’t like him very much.
What follows is a great tale of intrigue and mystery, delving into the world of witches, fairies, trolls and many other magical creatures as Aiden and Nael try to find the killer, putting their lives in great danger on many occasions.
This book has some great secondary characters, in particular Aiden’s assistant at his coffee shop and especially Nael’s younger sister Vee. I absolutely adored Vee. She has absolutely no filter and is hilarious.
This is a great read but has left some questions still to be answered (I’m not going to give any spoilers), so I’m really hoping that there is more to come from these fantastic characters.

Holding Out for You by Anna Paige – Review by Karyn Taylor

Holding Out for YouHolding Out for You by Anna Paige
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holding Out For You is a fantastic ‘brother’s best friend romance’ from Anna Paige. This was the first time that I had read any of this author’s work but I’m a sucker for a brother’s best friend book and the blurb really called to me. I’m so, so glad that I chose to read this book as I loved it so much.
This book is the story of Blair and Ashton but there are really 4 main characters to the story: brother and sister Becker and Blair, along with Becker’s best friend Ashton and Blair’s best friend Charli. For years Blair and Ashton have been at each other’s throats, constantly squabbling and antagonising each other but deep down both were in love with each other without the other knowing. Now grown up they have declared their feelings for one another but the course of true love never runs smooth. For instance, on the night they first admit to having feeling, a horrifying event takes place.
I loved the characters of Ashton and Blair, particularly how Ashton protects Blair after the horrifying event takes place. (Not giving any spoilers, you’ll just have to read the book to find out).
I also loved this simmering attraction between Becker and Charli. These 2 really need their own book so we can get their full story. Seeing how protective and loving Becker is towards his sister, I’d like to see more of him.
This book is very well written, with amazing realistic characters and a storyline that flows freely and keeps the reader engaged from beginning to end. Anna Paige is definitely an author that I’d love to read more of now, having thoroughly enjoyed this book. 100% recommend this book!

Who: A Stalker Series Novel by Megan Mitcham – Review by Karyn Taylor

Who (Stalker, #1)Who by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who: A Stalker Series novel is the first book in a new series by Megan Mitcham. It is a fantastic psychological thriller that will grip you hard from the very beginning and keep you on the edge of your seat as it takes you through every emotion possible and throw so many twists and turns at you that you won’t know which way to look.
Megan Mitcham is a new author to me and I really wish I had found her before as if this book is any guide as to the quality of her writing then I really can’t wait to read more of her work. I love a good psychological thriller and as this series is concerning stalkers then this is going to be one hell of a good series.
This particular book is about Larkin Ashford, a billionaire business woman considering making her business public when she starts to receive threats…very serious threats.
It’s kind of hard to write about the plot of this book without giving spoilers, so I’m not going to go into the plot of the story. What I can say is that it’s a fantastic story. It has many humerous parts too as well as the intrigue and suspense. When Larkin and her girlfriends get together some of their conversation will make you laugh. No subject is off the table, these ladies will discuss anything!
There is also a romantic element to the story too, with the elusive Calder Beckett coming into Larkin’s life. Not going to say too much about him except he’s the first man in a long time to get into Larkin’s head (and possibly heart).
This is a must read novel and I really can’t wait to read more in this series. Worth more than 5 stars.

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Karyn Taylor

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1)Music Man by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Music Man is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L. Montgomery. This is a series of stand-alone romance novels set in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Montgomery is an author I have read before, in fact I have read one of the other books in this series. I have thoroughly enjoyed the other books I have read by her and had high hopes for this one. I was not disappointed.
This book is slightly different from many romance novels in that that our hero and heroine, Jack and Claire are already a couple. This book explores some of the difficulties that couples can face when one tries to follow their dream.
Jack is a music teacher and enters a music competition (urged by Claire to do so) and is stunned when he wins. This leads to further competitions and then to him going on tour with some of the other contestants. This is what he’s always wanted to do. It’s his dream…or is it?
Jack soon discovers that being away from his beloved girlfriend Claire and his adorable daughter is much harder then he though. Added to that, those running the tour are trying to make it look as if he’s having a relationship with one of the other artists. This puts a massive strain on his relationship.
I really enjoyed reading this story. It flows really well and the characters are great. It has the addition of some really great secondary characters that add so much to the story. I enjoyed reading as Jack participated in the competitions, his excitement and nerves.
All in all, this is a really sweet romance story with great characters that provides a very enjoyable read.

Hail Mary by Hope Anika – Review by Karyn Taylor

Hail MaryHail Mary by Hope Anika
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hail Mary is a fantastic romantic thriller by Hope Anika. I had never read any of this author’s work before this book and I’m so glad that I chose to read it as it’s worth more than 5 stars in my humble opinion.
The 2 main characters are absolutely brilliant. Wynn has had a rough upbringing and now runs a farm and a rundown boarding house. She’s one feisty woman I’d definitely not want to get on the wrong side of. She takes no prisoners and will fight to the death for those she loves. Beau is the new sheriff in town. A job he didn’t really want but was pushed into by his aunt. Beau is ex-military and DEA and has a lot of baggage from his past. He was badly injured and his wife was killed by someone Beau was investigating while working at the DEA. He’s moody, arrogant and a woman is the last thing on his mind. That is until a bank robbery leads him to Wynn’s boarding house and then a serial killer from the past comes back. So much for an easy job being a sheriff in a small town!
The interaction between Wynn and Beau are actually hilarious. She does nothing to hide her distrust for the law and he gives back as good as he gets.
What is fantastic about this book is the plot. The suspense and intrigue grabs you and does not let you go. At times you hold your breath and have to remind yourself to breathe again. Just when you start to think you might have it sussed out, the story twists and you find it going in a different direction. I have to say that I would never have sussed out who was the killer.
You really have to give this book a try. It will not disappoint.

Love is What You Bake of it (Meraki, #1)Love is What You Bake of it by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I have read quite a few books by this author now and what always has me coming back to her is her beautifully detailed writing. Her stories have such a lovely flow to them that are a real pleasure to read. I didn’t even bother reading the blurb when I decided to read this book; the title caught my eye straight away.
Love is What You Bake of it was a wonderful romance read. I loved the characters Kally and Max (aka Officer Hot Buns) they were great to read about and both really relatable. The book kind of reminded me of one of my favourite films with the Greek family parts – there were some very entertaining secondary characters. There were some very funny moments in this story and I absolutely loved every minute of it. I think this is definitely my favourite book by this author so far! I look forward to more from her again in the future!!

Anne by Zarina Macha – Review by Katie Matthews

AnneAnne by Zarina Macha
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

I do sometimes read YA novels but they are usually of the romance type so when I saw the blurb for this one I was intrigued, it sounded like it might be a different kind of read and it absolutely was. It was such a powerful read and the author explored so many different situations/topics that can affect young adults and coming of age. I was really impressed by the authors writing, the flow of the story was really good and my interest was kept from beginning to end. I really felt for Anne, she had so much to overcome in her life, there were moments when my heart broke for her. There was a danger the author could have fallen into a stereotypical story with some of the things the character went through but I felt she really planned and thought about the path in which her characters would take.
Anne was in my opinion a well written, powerful and emotional read and one that I would highly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

This was a fantastic read! I love a good romantic suspense story and I have read books by this author before so when I saw this one I knew I had to grab it! Once I started the first page I knew it was going to be a good read and I was not wrong – I was hooked from the very first page until the end. I loved Beau and Wynn – they were both fantastic characters. I really felt for Beau and the author did a great job with his character, he was miserable and grumpy on the outside but underneath was something different. Wynn was great to read about – she was headstrong and full of sass! She was so entertaining. The tension between the two characters was so much fun to read about and it made me want them to end up together all the more! Along with Beau and Wynn there were some amazing secondary characters that really added something extra to the story.
I 100% recommend Hail Mary and I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

Music Man was yet again another wonderful read from this author! I always fall in love with her stories so easily because they just feel so real. The characters are easy to connect with and Ms Montgomery writes about them in such a way that they do come alive on the page. I loved the characters Jack and Claire, they were relatable and I was really rooting for them the whole way through. I love reading about older characters, it definitely makes them more relatable to me as a reader. I really loved Claire! I thought she was an awesome character; one of those that you really wish was real because you just know they would make an awesome friend! The inner dialogue really made me feel like I knew her personally!
Music Man was a fantastic read and I 100% recommend it! I cannot wait to read more from this series!

Yet again another wonderfully detailed and creative book from this author! I have really enjoyed the series so far so was looking forward to the newest instalment and I wasn’t disappointed at all. Fingin’s story was really fun and interesting to read – I thought I knew what was going to happen but there were some nice twists in the story which kept me hooked from beginning to end. I loved the adventure and magic in the story I was easily lost in what I was reading. The authors writing never fails to transport me in to the world in which she is writing about – fantastic world and character building!
Lovers of fantasy reads will not go wrong by reading this book and the series! I highly recommend this vividly detailed read to everybody!

Oohhhh I love a good sports romance so when I noticed this book by an author whose work I really enjoy I couldn’t wait to get started and I wasn’t disappointed at all! It was full of sass, romance and lot of spiciness!! This story definitely had me laughing my way through it! The banter between Roy and Patience certainly kept me entertained from beginning to end; they definitely knew how to rub each other up the wrong way!! Right from the very beginning they just didn’t get on but it didn’t take long to see that there was going to be something there between them – I know I was rooting for them the whole way through!
I am really looking forward to reading more from this author in the future – she has a wonderful writing style that makes her books a real pleasure to read! I definitely recommend The Player!!

Fantasy isn’t a genre I typically read but the blurb kind of jumped out at me so I decided to give the book a go and I really enjoyed it. It was nice to go into a story without any real expectations, I didn’t know whether it would enjoy it or not – but I am glad that I decided to read it. I really enjoyed the authors writing, I found I was easily drawn in to what I was reading – the world building I found to be particularly good! Detailed and vivid! The characters were so different to what I usually read and I really enjoyed their uniqueness – I could tell the author had spent a lot of time planning their development and how they would evolve over the story!
I would definitely recommend this book and I am definitely looking forward to reading more from the author again in the future!

This is the second book that I have read by this author and again it was another great read. The genre of this story isn’t one of my favourites but I love finding new authors and I enjoyed the first book in the series so thought I would give the second one a try. I can see an improvement in the authors writing as well (not that his debut novel was bad it definitely wasn’t) but as with most authors the more they write improvements are noticed!
I loved the detailed writing of the setting of the story it really enabled me to imagine what was happening in the story. The characters were really well developed and I really liked the relationship that they had between them, they were all really relatable in my opinion. The rich and complex storyline kept my interest throughout! Overall I thought that this was a wonderful read and a great addition to the series! I will definitely be looking out for more from this author in the future!
