Learning to Live: An Enemy to Lovers Ugly Cry (The Infinite Love Series, Book 1) by Kira Adams is a YA contemporary romance.

Slash & Burn (Nite Fire Book 4) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Jenni Bishop

Slash & Burn (Nite Fire, #4)Slash & Burn by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Slash & Burn (Nite Fire, #4) by C.L. Schneider is a supernatural shifter story and another wonderful addition to the series. The books should be read in order or you are behind the eight ball on the background of the characters and the world around them. C.L.’s word building is spot on when you can vividly imagine the world in which they fight to live. Her writing is enticing and engrossing, and the characters are interesting. The urban fantasy has intrigue and action will keep you engaged throughout and take you on a journey where there are supernatural beings, demons and humans live and fight.

Dahlia Nite is brash and kickarse, loud and sassy. She is also half human half dragon. She fights to protect others. This is a vigilante you want on your side.

I recommend this book and can’t wait to see what happens next.

Vengeance (The Sundown Series Book 5) by Courtney Konstantin – Review by Jenni Bishop

VengeanceVengeance by Courtney Konstantin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vengeance (The Sundown Series Book 5) by Courtney Konstantin is a YA Sci Fi paranormal story. This dystopian post-apocalyptic tale is a dangerous and emotional journey and great addition to this series. I have said it before but I am not a zombie lover, but Courtney has made this story unique and the plot different enough to entertain me. Courtney’s story is an original twist with lots of action and danger, drama and is so very engrossing. Her superb word smithing and vivid writing style, is very descriptive and makes it seem like you have been immersed in the story and fighting to survive. I had to keep turning the pages because I needed to know what was happening next.

Max is our MC and Courtney certainly puts her through the wringer.

If you love a thrilling and intensely gripping, then this is one for you.

Third Time’s a Ghost (Haunted Ever After Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Jenni Bishop

Third Time's a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After, #3)Third Time’s a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Third Time’s a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After, #3) by Carrie Pulkinen is a fun paranormal rom com mystery thriller (try saying that drunk). I am in love with this series as it is nonsensical and has just the right amount of sizzle. Carrie knows just how to draw in her audience with her fantastic writing and characters that are well developed, quirky and lovable. It’s easy to get lost in the paranormal world that she creates as she always gives us a little something extra. It is great entertainment.

Trent inherits a house from his surly ungrateful great uncle. After visiting the house he decides that he needs to say goodbye to it ASAP which brings him face to face with the temptress.

Tina agrees to help Trent sell the house but it soon it becomes apparent that the house comes with a little something more.

Unfortunately, this is the last book in this series, but I look forward to the next ghostly feel good tale from Miss Carrie.

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III – Review by Carrie Reed

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars!
It is a bit dark, but the story had me captivated, I could not put the book down.
What a fun read, and fun in the sense that the mystery, story and characters were so detailed. Gabriel and his mother’s relationship seems weird to me, and when Gabriel tries to discover why the children at the orphanage were going missing, she gets upset with all the questions. It is interesting to watch the inner turmoil in Gabriel as he wrestles with his love for his mother and his wife Consuela. The twists and turns throughout will keep you engaged and wanting more. I am very please with this book and will now be looking into more books by this author.

Third Time’s a Ghost (Haunted Ever After Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Lisa Helmick

Third Time's a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After, #3)Third Time’s a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the last of this series. While I liked Gage and wanted his ever after…I can’t say I loved this book. It’s a second chance romance with some ghost issues. The story just didn’t call to me but it could others. I didn’t feel connected to either character other than the evilness from the mirror. It was easy (for me) to figure out how this one would go. The characters seemed indifferent. While Gage is a good secondary character he needs more to hold his own as a lead. His sisters did not really add to the picture.

So overall I usually enjoy this authors imagination but this one fell flat for me. It just didn’t grip me and make me not want to put it down. The evilness in here made this one a little dark. Not my cup of tea but it could be yours.
