Hail Mary by Hope Anika – Review by Liz Vrchota

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

I have yet to read a Hope Anika book that I have not enjoyed, but Hail Mary has to be my favorite so far of hers. I really wasn’t sure what to expect when I went into this book. The cover, although gripping still, left me wondering what this book really was all about, and so I went in blind. The character development in this novel, like most of Anika’s characters, is on point and done so that you feel as if you are reading about realistic and true people. I loved how I was transported right there with Beau and Wynn as they trafficked their way through this mystery they found themselves wrapped up in. I love the romance that kindles but stays a supporting storyline to enjoy rather than being the focus of the story. This is one that you won’t want to put down as soon as you dive into that first chapter and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book Anika pens. I am sure I will love it just as much!

Prophecy Girl (Camille Bishop Book 1)Prophecy Girl by Ravin Tija Maurice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was completely blown away with this little murder mystery read from Ravin Tija Maurice. She is a new to me author that really grabbed my attention and has me aching for not only the next book in this series but anything else she may have already released. I am going to be going on a binge here soon of her works but this was a perfect way to introduce her writing style to me.

Prophecy Girl is the first book in the Camille Bishop series, and you get that first book vibe for a lot of the first part of this book There is a lot of character setup for side characters and storylines you just know will make a reappearance at some point in the future. I really love Camille, our main character gal. I did struggle at first with her only because I was so irritated with all the crap she was taking from the loser boyfriend Jesse. I won’t lie once that resolved it was easier for me to dive in and really get to know Camille and the other things that were going on. I had not expected to be introduced to some fantastical characters but I loved how Maurice made it work and seem believable. For me that was an enhancement to the story. I can’t wait to find out what will come next!

SerenadeSerenade by TK Lawyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

TK Lawyer is a new author to me, so I had no idea what I was going to get when I picked up Serenade by her. It was quite the fast and interesting read. I loved how this may not be my go to for choice of genre but I thoroughly still found myself enjoying the book. I am curious to see what else she has written that I can sink my teeth into soon. I look forward to seeing if we will get more along the same storyline as this one though as well.

In Serenade we get the story of Evan and Kingsley. I loved how these two were both pushing/pulling each other. It made me sit on the edge of my seat to figure out how this would all turn out for them. Kingsley is a wolf shifter and that throws in some extra drama for the two. I won’t go into much more details because I feel they would destroy the story for you. You will just have to take my recommendation and scoop this up to find out for yourself. I am sure you will find yourself falling in love with these two soon!

Devil's Spawn (Satan's Devils MC Colorado Chapter #6)Devil’s Spawn by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Devil’s Spawn is the sixth novel in the Colorado Chapter series by Manda Mellet. This is my sixth novel by this author.

From an explosion that caused an brain injury, Lizard no longer remembers his wife Vanna or his son Cas. After two years of trying to make things work, Vanna finally makes the decision and raises her son on her own.

But years later, Cas has become a troubled teenager and she believe some time with this father will help.

I don’t want to give too much of this novel away. I don’t read too many memory loss stories but I do love reading them and seeing how everything unfolds.

This was a rollercoaster ride filled with heartache and second chances.

My favorite of the series so far.

Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology – Review by Lisa Helmick

Red Riding HoodRed Riding Hood by Autumn Sand
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a nice collection of stories. They are fun because they all have a common theme running through them. They have genres from horror to erotica and others in between. Some of these were enjoyable. A few of them seemed a bit short and I wasn’t a big fan of the insta-love.

Little Red’s by Darlene Tallman was a favorite. Wolf packs are a story i enjoy and this one filled that void. The characters were believable and the story cute.

Cloaked by Lia Fairchild really drew me in and was very inventive. I liked the characters and enjoyed the twists and turns. I really could have read this one over again.

A few others were Ruby by Autumn Sand and River Runs Red by Kay Elle Parker. I liked them…they were pretty sexy. I just wish there was more to each of them.

Imposter: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 7) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Karyn Taylor

/0 Comments/in /by

Imposter (Ash Park, #7)Imposter by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Imposter is the 7th book in the Ash Park crime thriller series by Meghan O’Flynn. It is the first time I had read any of this author’s work. I used to read a lot in this genre but had neglected it recently. The blurb of this book had me intrigued so I decided to give it a go. What I got was a fantastically well written crime thriller that had me gripped from the very beginning and kept it’s hooks in tight right up to the very end.
In this book Ed Petrosky starts with dealing with the suicide of Gregory Boyle, a teenage boy who had previously been kidnapped for 5 years and had returned home 2 years previously. What transpired from this was an intricate tale of murder, fraud, intrigue, kidnapping and so much more.
As well as dealing with this case, it is approaching the birthday of Ed’s daughter who had been murdered previously and this case is bringing back so many memories of his dead daughter. Ed had hit the bottle hard after his daughter’s death and in this book we see him fight the demon of drink calling out to him at every opportunity.
This book is fast paced and flows very well. Just when you think you have worked out what is going on, the author throws a massive curveball and the story goes in a different direction, keeping you on your toes.
I’m so glad that I chose to read this book as it’s given me a thirst for reading more in this genre.

5-Stars

Cade (Default Distraction #3) by A.S. Roberts was an exciting romance. I absolutely love this series and the characters in them. This book takes place along the same time line as the first two books and I do not recommend reading it as a standalone. This book focuses on Winter and Cade. Both characters were written well in this novel and I loved the background provided. Winter was always a curious one to me in the first few books so I enjoyed getting to read her story. Cade is a hot and there was more to him than I originally thought. This storyline had a great flow and was organized well. Great read!

IRRESISTIBLE VALENTINE (Irresistible Romance Book 3)IRRESISTIBLE VALENTINE by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Irresistible Valentine filled with five-star reads. I love Anthology’s like these as they bring so many great authors together, so you can read old favourites and then find new authors as well. Each story will show you something to make you smile, each one brings something special to the collection. My favourite’s are Tamara Ferguson with Two Hearts Reconnaissance and I adore this one as even though its teenagers, I remember what that was like, she shows us expertly how you fear life will end if you don’t see the other part of your soul immediately. Alicia Street with Never Lovers, a great story with a fabulous twist that will keep you on your toes and then finally Jacquie Bigger who brings us The Player and this one, well this one had that extra special sauce to it and just had a little extra sparkle as it involves a player in more ways than one. If you are in the mood for some great reads then pick this collection up.

Red Riding HoodRed Riding Hood by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) a five-star read that would have you going into the woods. This is a fabulous selection of short stories by different authors, all telling their own version of Little Red Riding Hood, each story has a different take, some do different genres and some just turn it its head. This is filled with compelling stories and I loved them all, but I have to say Autumn Sand puled it out of the bag, maybe its just my personal circumstances right now, but that one touched me close. Another two that I really felt deserve special mention as they both either told a great story, or just had that extra special something and they were Cloaked by Lia Fairchild and Amy Allen. Well done all on these amazing stories.

Marked for Death (A Gray Ghost Novel Book 6)
By Amy McKinley
5 out of 5 stars

The story Marked for Death (A Gray Ghost Novel Book 6) by Amy McKinley is a romantic suspense book. It is the next amazing book in an awesome series that I love reading. It pulls you in right from the beginning and doesn’t let you go until the final page. The story has action, danger, and romance. I loved reading about the characters of Keegan Hunt and Kara Median. Keegan is part of a team sent on a mission to Venezuela. Even though he has spent years avoiding the country, he hopes for a quick mission and easy return. Then he finds the one person who haunts his dreams, Kara. Kara is part of a team sent on a mission with almost the same objective. She also finds herself face to face with the one man who she can’t deny an attraction to. With their mission shifting, can Keegan rely on Kara for help? What does the future hold for Kara and Keegan? Will they make it out of Venezuela alive? Read this book to find out. This story is a page-turner that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what is going to happen next. The sparks/chemistry between Keegan and Kara make the temperature in the room rise. I love that the other characters have been brought forward from the previous books and it feels like you are reconnecting with friends. The story is thrilling, suspenseful, and when I get to the last page I always wishing for a few more chapters. This is a story and series I would highly recommend reading.

Anne
By Zarina Macha
5 out of 5 stars

The story Anne by Zarina Macha is a YA/coming of age book. It is a story that follows the life of Anne Mason. It is a book that has powerful moments and also makes you think. There are heartbreaking moments as well as times that made me wonder what I would have done given the same circumstances. Anne is a young girl whose father terrorizes her mother. She is home-schooled and knowledge is her escape. Then her world is upended when her father tells her that her mother has left them. Anne then goes to her aunt and uncle’s home. Read this book to find out more about Anne’s journey. Anne is a character that is likable and one that I could only wish for her to find happiness. While the past haunts her she goes through life by excelling in knowledge. She also has friends that she makes along that way, even falling for someone. Anne’s challenges and accomplishments shape her life. There are times when I couldn’t help but have tears in my eyes. This is an emotional story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time. There are many additional characters that are introduced and many of them are family and good friends with Anne. I enjoyed the interactions between them and Anne. This is a book I would recommend reading.

Hail MaryHail Mary by Hope Anika
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hail Mary by Hope Anika is an enthralling read and the storyline is exciting and the plot is done well. It is a mystery romance story with lots of emotions, where there are both moments of hilarity and others are sad and tragic but it keeps you on your toes as you traverse the web Hope has weaved together. It is a tale where you feel like you are walking the walk right along with them as you set out to catch a killer. The characters are well developed and lovable.

Beau Greystone is a former DEA agent and now a sheriff who is haunted by the past and the murder of his wife. Who is now on the hunt for a killer.

Wynn Owens has trust issues and does not take to people easily due to her past. However, when she meets a certain sheriff sparks fly and she wonders if she can let him in.

Well worth the read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a young adult story that I really enjoyed. It had lots of drama and emotion, the characters were complex and imperfect, and the story was certainly believable. Although YA is not my usual thing, I did enjoy this romance and coming-of-age, the prose was lovely, and it had a lot more depth than I anticipated. I also loved the jazz throughlines, since I’m a big jazz fan, and really appreciated all the musical references.

Devil’s Spawn (Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter #6) by Manda Mellett – Review by Rosanna Ingram

/0 Comments/in /by

Devil's Spawn (Satan's Devils MC Colorado Chapter #6)Devil’s Spawn by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book has a couple of storylines that are taking place simultaneously. Although they are separate, they are intertwined and connected to make a larger story. As a fan of the previous Satan’s Devils MC books, this book delved deeper into their lives and provided the stories for some of the characters that I have enjoyed from previous books.

This book focuses on Lizard and Mace. Both are members of the MC that we have met in previous books. Like in previous books, we are introduced to new characters that will turn the lives of these men upside down. Both Lizard and Mace are die-hard bachelors that enjoy the freedom to spend evenings with the sweet butts, sometimes even sharing the sweet butts between themselves. However, Lizard has a past that refuses to let him go and Mace meets a woman who deserves more than the one night he usually gives civilian women.

Vanna and Shayla are new characters in this book…and they are both extremely strong characters. They have been dealt crappy hands in life and have done what they needed to do in order to survive and keep moving forward. I found myself enjoying both of them and wanted them to get the happiness they have earned.

This is one of those series that just gets better as it goes forward. We are constantly getting to learn more about the members of the MC, with characters from the past making appearances in every book. I am invested in these characters and am looking forward to future books. And that epilogue…I need to know more about those characters ASAP!

Serenade by TK Lawyer was a wonderful romance. I loved Kingsley and Eva. They were amazing characters with great development. I loved how Kingsley approached the situation with his mate and how he took his time getting to know her. Eva also had her own surprises but I loved how she let her true colors shine with him. She was a fascinating character and definitely my favorite. I loved the setting of this novel in Alaska as well as the inn. Such a wonderful read and I highly recommend it.

Around Midnight by Zarina Macha. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I loved it. Its a young adult story but was very easy for me to get wrapped up in. Its the story of Megan Hollis a Jazz Prodigy. Her life is made complete when she picks up her Sax and music just flows thru her hands. She is happiest when she is playing and her main goal in life is to get to the Prestigious London’s School of Jazz. Everything is going great until she meets Vincent Turner a guy who has a bad rep but who has all the right moves. He knows everything to say to make Megan melt. Megan is intoxicated by him and she soon thinks he can do no wrong. But why is she feeling like she’s walking on eggshells, nervous and scared all the time. It can’t be Vincent, she’s crazy about him. Her family wants her to focus on her music but her heart says she needs to spend time with Vincent. Will her heart lead her down the path of destruction or will she let her mind rule over her heart? I loved this story.

Around Midnight by Zarina Macha – Review by Gail Guerrero

Four Stars

This is my first book by this author. I don’t usually read young adult but something about this story really clicked with me. Here you have this amazing gifted young woman ready to take her talent to next level. In comes this young man with that bad boy charm that no sweet girl can resist. Her world starts to shift. No longer is her dreams only about jazz but a passion she didn’t know existed. But what happens when her dreams and her wants don’t click? When everyone thinks they knows what is best? How will she learn to think for herself? When her relationship turns bad Megan truly has somethings to think through. I really liked this story even though I am much older. I found that I could understand how Megan felt when she found a desire and passion for something other than jazz. The author gives you a story with great detail and learning moments. I found myself rooting for Megan that she would do what was best for her and not what was expected. That she would learn that just because you love someone or desire to be with them doesn’t mean you have to. Especially someone toxic.

This is a quick read, but so worth your time. Get ready to read this Paranormal Romance.

Dragomir is a magician, who is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Between PTSD, the curse and his red hot anger, he is ready to explode. To get through his anger, he boxes illegally. Fighting is about all he can do, he thinks. Until he meets a pretty witch, who thinks she can cure him. Can Ida really help him with his curse? Can Dragomir focus on his curse and not bedding Ida?

Katarina Ross is a new author for me. But that won’t keep me from reading more of her books. While this is a quick read, it is complete. Her characters are powerful and their scenes are steaming. Katarina also has a flair for writing paranormal stories. Not for those under 18, due to adult theme. Thank You Katarina Ross! Well Done!!!

Imposter: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 7)Imposter: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have yet to pick up an Meghan O’Flynn novel that I have not adored completely! She manages to take her readers on a fast, thrilling, and twisted ride with each of her Ash Park novels. Each book is written with recurring characters and some overlapping case details. I would recommend that you read them in order and all of them, but I am told they are able to be read as stand alones as well. Imposter is the seventh book in the series and it feels like saying that should come with a this series is getting old type feeling, but I can assure you there is not one dull or boring and repetitive moment in the entire book let alone the series. In Imposter we find our favorite troubled detective, Petrosky as he is once again faced with a ruthless and violent killer. The case will force him to face pieces of himself all while trying to race against time to keep the inhabitants of Ash Park and his own loved ones safe from harm. I can’t wait to see what could come next and if we will get more of Ash Park from Ms. O’Flynn.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lisa: Coming of Age by KM Lowe is the first book in The Guardian Shifters series. I absolutely loved this story. The main character Lisa faces so many challenges and uncertainties, but her character remains strong. She relies on those around her, her adopted family, her best friend Marcus, and his father Jasper, to help her get through discovering a world that was completely new to her. Lisa and Marcus’s relationship was truly special. They shared a bond from childhood and then fell in love with each other. Marcus is so protective of Lisa because they are soul mates. They seem unstoppable, but they face some challenges that would rock any relationship. I really enjoyed reading Lisa’s journey as she explored a new part of her life and I look forward to reading other stories in this series.

I have to admit, I wasn’t sure what to think when I started this series. It gives you a look into alternate lifestyle in an honest, respectful way. Sarah and James know what they want and it seems that while they want each other, they want different things in life they cant give one another. This series takes you through their struggle with them. And its amazing. An eye opening experience with a talented author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Study in Spirits: A College Fae magic series #2 by Byrd Nash is a YA story that is fun and full of adventure as the gang from the first book return. There is more to the worlds and magical creatures in this story that have never been seen before. Byrd’s imagination takes us on a journey where something has come from a place that few know about and they must race against time before old teachings and knowledge are gone for good and hope that they too do not get lost for good.

Lisa: Coming Of Age (The Guardian Shifters, #1)Lisa: Coming Of Age by K.M. Lowe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lisa: Coming Of Age (The Guardian Shifters Book 1) by K.M. Lowe is a YA paranormal/supernatural story with shifters and witches, suspense and drama, angst and danger, love and friendship, and find out exactly who you are and that there is more in life than on can comprehend. It is my first time reading anything from this author and found it engaging and I really enjoyed it.

Lisa was prepared to go to college and have her best friend by her side. However, she soon finds out that who she is and what she is something out of a fantasy book. Her whole view of the world has been turned upside down, but will she be able to live with what it entails.

This friends to lovers’ story is engrossing and gives you all the feels. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this paranormal story. This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite. I never hesitate to pick up this author’s books. They are well written with connectable, lovable characters that make the story realistic. This book is no different. It is a story of a witch, wolf and fated love. Kingsley is a wolf who has given up on finding a mate until he meets Eva. Eva has given up on men but there is something about Kingsley she can’t resist. Can a wolf and a witch be life mates? I love their chemistry and their attraction to each other. They are strong characters that kept me turning pages, I had to know what happened to them. Is it possible that they will find their HEA? I highly recommend reading their story to find out what happens with them.
