So, it took me quite a while to realise that this was the second book in the series, but I should have known really because all the things I found jarring and baffling about it were because of this. Right from the start, I was struck by how I already felt as though I were mid-way through a book, stuff felt like it had been going on for a long time and I had just missed it all. Obviously though, this in no way reflects on the writing, Simon’s does an awesome job and has created an interesting dystopian world that is both vibrant and intelligent. There is something very human to the way Simons writes, past all the airy-fairy crap and straight to the meatiness of what it means to be human. Cam is an interesting character, living in a sustainable community with his friend Fraser and though life seems idyllic, he is haunted by those that he loves, and a world left behind, the way it used to look and used to be. There is something beautifully melancholic about Simon’s writes Cam, and I found it addictive to read. Simons has a sophisticated tone to her writing, steaming ahead with the confidence of someone that knows their reader will be right there with them. I loved the world she created. It felt both ancient and modern all at the same time, something I didn’t think was even remotely possible, but Simon’s managed to do it effortlessly. I quite liked the idea of the world and the feel of it, even though I was lost, Simons writes wonderfully and makes even fumbling a bit in the dark a fun and enjoyable experience. I know that when I have finally gotten round to reading the first book in this series I will love this book in a whole new way and see it in a whole new light. I would definitely recommend reading this along with the other books in the series as I think Simon’s has done an epic job here and even though I didn’t know quite what was happening, I still loved the journey I was being taken on. Excuse me while I go and read the first in the series and fall in love with that one too.

The Sun at Twilight (Empire at Twilight Book 4) by N.L. Holmes 4 Stars!!!!
I was once again take into the historical world and lost in intrigue and drama. This is the fourth book by this author that I have read and was not disappointed. I really like how the author is able to bring the past to life and the characters just come right off of the page. I like how the complex relationships are outlined and how the story unwinds.
The characters all have very complex lives and they really draw the reader in and the past unfolds right before your eyes. There is just the right mix of drama and intrigue mixed in with subterfuges and conflict. I really felt as though I was back in time and like I was right there interacting with the characters. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

5 Stars Granted: Curse Of The Emerald Jinn by Rachel Huffmire
Holy Wow this author has gone and done it again. She has quickly become one of my one-click authors and Granted is my favorite yet. Tbis ia a young adult story that pulled me in from the very beginning and I found myself lost in the pages. I couldn’t put it down and finished in one sitting. This is a wonderfully written story about a sixteen year old named Liam. He sees colors when people mess with him. The colors start to stand out when stuff starts happening for him. When someone saves his life and he brings home a shell and along the way makes an enemy. What do these things have in common? Do the effect his colors? There’s just the right amount of twists a d turns that will have you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out happens next?. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next.

I must say, I love this book. In fact, I want to re-read it that’s how much I loved it. I have never read a book by this author before but I’m planning to check out some of her others to see if I like them as much as I did this one. I am a sucker for coming of age stories about love. Especially first loves. And this one topped the charts for me. The writing is phenomenal. It was so easy to read and follow along and I refused to put it down because I was page turning so fast. I felt that she did a good job making the characters very familiar to me. I was quickly teleported back to my own teenage years and all the angst that plagued me during that time. I could sympathize with the main character in wanting to be understood and accepted for who and what I am, but instead feeling sad and rejected by everyone around me. I was extremely satisfied with the ending and could see this being made into a young adult romantic movie. In fact, I could see this being another Sixteen Candles movie by John Hughes. I look forward to following along with this story in the next chapter of their book. I highly recommend reading this book. In fact, I would say, this would be a great book for a mother and her daughter to read together and discuss. I could also see this being chosen as a young adult book club read. It’s well worth picking up and discussing.

THE MYSTERY OF THE LOST AVENGER (ANNIE TILLERY MYSTERIES) by LINDA MARIA FRANK. This book was so good. It is meant as a kids story but I enjoyed just as much as a kid would! Its the story of the women involved in Aviation back in 1943 during WWII. When Annie, Charlotte’s great grand daughter finds a note written by Charlotte in one of these old planes the mystery begins. This plane had disappeared in in mysterious circumstances so the whole family gets involved in finding out the real story. Charlotte tested these plane before battle and she had fallen in love with one of the pilots. After they find the note they begin to look in their grandmothers old things and find more clues. This is such a fun mystery. I think kids and adults alike will enjoy this fun read.

I struggled a bit deciding on 4 or 5 stars for this story. It was written very well and was as usual what I expect from this author. I love her books and it read really easy, smooth, and quick. Although a bit predictable it was still a fun story to read. On the other hand it was too quick for me. The transition of enemies to lovers happened a bit too quick and I did not get that build up feeling while it was happening. I was also left totally unsatisfied because the story seemed unfinished. I was hoping for an epilogue that took place in Vegas and that did not happen.
It was only 39 or 40 pages and I wish it had been more like 70 and more of the story was told. I found myself more interested and looking forward to what was going to happen in Vegas and after then what I was actually reading.
So in a nutshell, I loved the story and the writing. I just wanted more of it and more of the build up.

Witness is the ninth book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. You can read this book as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading this series from the beginning. Meghan is one of my go to authors and she really delivers on crime thrillers. This book had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I love when I don’t know who did it until the end and Ms. O’Flynn is a master at this. This book is fast paced, chilling, thrilling and brilliantly written. I highly recommend this book, series and author. Review by@sunbarn

Can Dreams Come True by Krysten Lindsay Hager is book one of The Cecily Taylor series. This is the first book I’ve read from this author and I wasn’t disappointed. This book is a YA coming of age story.
Cecily’s story was sweet but was definitely filled with just enough drama and angst to keep you intrigued. The book is so well written that you can feel the emotions as though they are yours. Cecily is so relatable to really any age. She just longs to feel accepted, as I think many of us do. I wasn’t sure what to expect going on to this book but I’m glad I read it! I can’t wait to see what book two has in store!

I really enjoyed Best of my Love by N.D. Jackson. The characters actions were a little confusing sometimes, but overall, I enjoyed the fact that each was going through their own personal struggles.
Andrea, or Dre as she prefers to be called, is obligated to go back home to help her best friend and her best friend’s kids after a terrible situation. She hadn’t been home in about a decade because the last time she was there she was betrayed by the person she loved the most.
Erick messed up big time all those years ago. Now he may have the opportunity to win Dre back, if she would even speak to him.
Admittedly, Erick’s act of betrayal is a little confusing, but I dont think overall that took away from the story. Even though Dre was a really tough character I liked that you could easy follow her personal growth through a few different areas if her life. The story kept me interested and I didnt want to put it down – what more could you ask for!

Jackson – Review by Kari Williams
When you are face to face with you idol absolutely love, will they live up to the expectation or crush your heart?
Cecily is full of excitement for her friend who is going to audition for a music video, but when that pop star is your heartthrob, oh my how can this day get any better. The production team are looking for the girl next-door not the new big thing and approach Cecily to do the video, when she accepts has she put a wedge between her friend.
As the video goes on she feels more and more comfortable with Andrew Holliday who would have thought her and this big pop star but as they start spending more time together she finds out there is more to this person than meets the eye. She feels he knows her better than anyone else and that becomes unnerving.
As soon Andrew sees her he knows she is special but with her having a boyfriend already can he play the friend in this relationship and wait until there is an opening to show her more than the pop star.
This is the first book I have read by this author and really enjoyed the teen angst and flowing story between these characters. The story is full of the what ifs, jealousy and the pains of growing up, making mistakes and trying to figure out what you want to achieve in both love and life.
The characters were well written and I really enjoyed the interactions between the characters, the soul searching had an element of try honesty and I felt jumping in with answers and questions along the way. For a first book in this series it opens the window to this series for me to want to read books and see where the author takes this great start.

When you think its a simple Breaking and Entry call, Oh boy how wrong was Edward.
Edward has been through a lot in this series and normally I would give a brief overview of the book but too be honest I don’t know where to start or want to give anything away. This book is another winner and with characters so rich and full of flaws and angst you are in for a brilliant read. If you love the physiological aspect within a thriller then you will love this book and this series.
I love the character of Edward but please no more destruction to him, I feel like I’m going to have a breakdown for him, but with everything that happens he seems to brush himself off and carries on as a compulsion he needs to help.
This book is a well thought out, twist upon twist and turns which will have you re-reading places to make sure you have not missed any hints or major plots as this is compelling from the first word to the last. I pride myself in at least by the middle of the book having a clue who or what will happen but Ms O’Flynn you had me guessing all the way through to a god honest Oh my moment at the end. I love the way your writing is intelligent and does not pander to the audience you make us work for the conclusion which is what you want from a great thriller. Although you could read this as a stand alone I would not recommend it, there is snippets of the characters pasts which it would be better to have followed through the journey with them to understand and to be honest why would you skip some of the best thriller stories I have ever read.
Thank you for this brilliant series and look forward to reading the next instalment.

Ive been waiting for the next book in this series and it didn’t disappoint! I really enjoyed reading about Hacker and Marie and the twists and turns they have to go through. I cannot wait to see which is next in this series!
Everyone knows the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Well, at least they think they do. History would have many believe Red was a naïve little girl who brought treats to her grandmother in the dark of the forest. History had it wrong.
After the curse of the wolves came to Timbergard, Red’s father was the only soul brave enough to enter Blakx Forest. However, when the wolves claimed his life, his young daughter took up his bow and began hunting the beasts to fill her need for revenge.
When Captain Hook shows up in the village in search of the rare burning ash that lies on the far borders of the cursed forest, Red agrees to help get him safely through the dangerous land.
The trek through the forest becomes precarious when the group is cornered by a pack of wolves. Red is forced to make a decision that will alter the lives of everyone, including individuals she has yet to meet.
Author Suzanna Lynn is a happily married, full-time mother of three beautiful, energetic children, and lives in a small town nestled in the deep rolling hills of Missouri.
Growing up in the Ozarks, Suzanna spent her childhood wandering the fields and woods surrounding her home. While most children avoided the dark corners of the woods, she sought them out; imagining them to be filled with fairies, dragons and all number of creatures.
Having not lost her childhood imagination, Suzanna has written numerous poems, songs and short stories that won various awards in high school and college. Her dream was to, one day, be an author.
In 2014 she decided to stop wishing she could publish a book and made the dream a reality when she released The Bed Wife.
That first novella gave birth to two more books, completing the series, and stirred the embers of a new five-book series called The Untold Stories. She has since published stand alone novels, and even has several children’s books in the works.
When she’s not busy writing or spending time with her family, Suzanna loves to draw and paint, as well as scrapbooking. She also has been known to volunteer with her children’s school, the Ladies Auxiliary, and even the local zoo!

I really loved this book; it is a Victorian romance retake of the childhood fairy tale Beauty and the beast. The story is centered around three girls, Lily, Rose and Poppy and Rose’s romance with a wealthy rude beast, Sir Griffin. Their father, obsessed with a rose called Mab’s perfection attempts to steal it from Sir Griffin, and later loses all his three daughters to him in a gamble for the rose. The three daughters take up work in Sir Griffin’s household to pay off their debts, Lily becomes the official housekeeper, Rose takes charge of the garden work and Poppy becomes his unwarranted secretary. But Rose starts falling for Sir Griffin and the beast also softens towards her. But there are obstacles for their romance to succeed and the curse on the house and Sir Griffin to be lifted. This is a very charming story and has all the elements of the fairy tale intact. The beast is rude, the house has its magical charms, the garden holds the magic flowers and the library has the magical books. But unlike the fairy tale the book has three sisters instead of one, and then there is a deceptive fairy magic which is at work to blind Sir Griffin from seeing his true love. I enjoy books from Byrd Nash, it has a dash of the Victorian romance twist to the fairy tales and it is a feast to read. Looking forward to more from this author.

KJ Holliday is a new author for me. I absolutely loved this book from beginning to end. I can relate to a few things when it comes to the outdoors and camping style, but no way I am tent type of girl. This book was romantic, funny, steamy and had some seriousness as well. The characters were perfectly designed and entwined in the story so easy. I highly recommend this book.

Hacker: The Mercenaries Series Book 2 by Nadine Travers is a romantic suspense story. This tale is intriguing and action-packed, steamy and thrilling. It is a sit on the edge of your seat, roller coaster ride page turner. The characters were complex and well developed and likable. It was an entertaining adventure that you don’t want to miss.
Hacker and his buddies/team have a job to keep Marie and her sister safe and alive and out of the hands of the mafia.
Sons of Sindicato: Seth and Shaw by Cam Johns & Sonya Jesus is a awesome first book in a series!! Braelynn Shaw’s character shines through from the beginning. She is excited for her new role but something happens that changes things and her life seems to be pointing in a different direction. Seth finds Shaw in a situation he never expected. His strength shines through to help Shaw when she needs it most. Overall, the interaction between the characters kept me wanting to find out more! I really enjoyed reading this book and I will definitely be checking out other books written by these authors.

The Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald is a physiological crime story that is as thrilling as it is tantalizing. This story is intriguing and layered and gives us blurred realms of history and myth, past and present. Neil takes us undercover in a deadly world we can only imagine or perhaps we don’t.
Our MC is an undercover police officer and his world is one of lies and secrets to himself and to others. His next assignment is to infiltrate a terrorist group. He is loyal to his country but the line between the undercover operation and his real life soon merge/blur as his love for the enemies’ sister grows.

This is the second book in the Antipodes Series and it was just as intriguing as the first book. The characters are well developed and the book is easy to read. The story keeps you hooked all the way through as you follow the journey of the characters as they adapt to their new way of life.
Cam has matured in this book and after hearing that someone he loves could still be alive he sets out to find them. The journey is challenging and makes him question things he knows and thinks about love and loyalty. The main question is if given the opportunity to redo life would you take the same course with the same mistakes or would you change your plans maybe for the better or maybe for the worst.
It’s a really thought provoking theme and set in time when the world is destroyed by a disease and only few people surviving its an interesting concept.

A Tennis Pro to Die For by Judy Moore is the third book in the Cozy Mysteries to Die For series. This is a nice, quick read and great to return to the familiar characters of Beck, Lizzie, and Devon. This can be read as a standalone and completely enjoyed. I have read the other books in the series and it is nice to have the recurring characters and see how they are changing as the series progresses. I read this quickly and was left wanting the next book in the series. I enjoy the characters and the odd murders they find themselves involved in. This is a great getaway book to get your mind off of all the craziness of the world and allow yourself to find yourself elsewhere. I hope there is more to this series and look forward to more from this author in the future.

This book is a Thriller and follows Vince, a Special Branch agent gone undercover, and Ayesha, a sister of one of the Jihadi leaders. Vince (Zami) is on a new mission as an Islamic convert looking to infiltrate a Jihadi group. This is where he meets Ayesha. The problem is his real world and his undercover world are blending to create a muddy mess. He is falling for Ayesha, but does he betray his country or break his own heart?

The World Beyond the Walls is the third book in the Natural Forces series. While it could be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the previous books in the series. It is easy to get lost in this story right away. You feel like you are living the adventure with the characters. The world building is excellent and the twists and surprises will keep you turning the pages. I read the whole book in one sitting just so I could find out how everything turned out. I enjoyed the way the paranormal elements were woven into the story – very different than most paranormal books. It’s a wonderful blend of fantasy and paranormal storytelling.

Tuck is an army-vet ranch hand who is hoping for a spot at the PBR finals in Las Vegas. His dream is to bring home the gold buckle. To make ends meet now, he works on the Four Leaf Ranch. He enjoys his job and his boss…it’s the boss’ spoiled daughter, Jessie, that gets to him. Jessie is hot, but she acts like a spoiled brat and that is not attractive to Tuck.
Jessie may act like a spoiled daddy’s girl…but it’s because she is protecting her heart. She has been through some tough times that keep her from opening her heart (or her bed) to cowboys. Her ex did a number on her. But a drunken confession about her true feelings change the dynamics between her and Tuck. Can she trust this cowboy?
Like I said, this was a fast read but it was enjoyable. I would like more of the story…like what happens in Vegas.

Jackson – Review by Tausha Treadway
I loved this sweet romance and retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in a Victorian England in 1890. This is a really original and unique take on a well known and loved fairytale. With a mix of historical romance, fairytale fantasy and sweet romance this story had me happily turning the pages and I read this novella in one sitting. This was an enjoyable and lighthearted read with plenty of humour in the narrative and the storyline was a twist on the traditional tale as old as time. Three sisters have to intervene so they can determine their own fate when their father loses a game of cards to the local recluse, Sir Griffin Garrick. Lily, the oldest is not afraid of hard work and so takes over as his housekeeper, Rose loves the outdoors and so works in his forgotten garden whilst the youngest, Poppy acts as his secretary. The three sisters find the reclusive’s house strange as it’s full of books on magic and rooms that keep moving. Out of the three women it is Rose who could be the key to unraveling Griffin’s curse but first he must recognise what is real and what is fairy magic. I loved the descriptive narrative and wonderful world building throughout this novella and it made me feel immersed in the story. The storyline flows well and the characters come alive due to the authors vivid descriptions of them. A lovely heartwarming and engaging read.

This book is the fourth book in the series from Linda Maria Frank’s Annie Tillery Mystery books. They are categorized as a young reader book series. However, if you love to read “young adult” books like myself, then you will absolutely love this book and her series. I LOVED THIS BOOK! I would give it 10 stars if I could. I loved that it took me on a mystery back to the World War II era involving a crashed plane and its missing pilot and her treasures. I thought her storytelling of the mystery solving processes in this era were fantastic because they certainly didn’t have all the technology back then that they do today. I think that for children it’s especially important for them to be able to read about the differences in the eras and how the processes were so different in solving the mystery. In my opinion, I think that young adults of all ages will enjoy this book. Even though this is part of a series, each book is a stand-alone and you don’t have to read in any order. I think these books should be available in all school libraries and the kids’ reading lists. I look forward to the reading the next book in the series.
