Calum a scientist and his group of friends continue to resist the elite and the genies and trying to survive in a crazy post apocalyptic world… but it’s about to get so much worse and they haven’t seen anything yet It’s hard not to delve into this story because it would be easy to give away what’s happening but the absolute devastation of a world started with genetically modified food is a clash of real world science and Sci-Fi which is absolutely terrifying to read and this ending adding in the Paranormal really rounded out. The ending I didn’t really see coming right away and it was downright shocking. Will humanity survive the plague of genies and modified food and attacks from elites… This final book is a must read.

C.A. King has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Every book I have read from this has always been very intriguing and has me on the edge of my sit. This book is no different. I fell in love with it from the very first page and was not able to put it down until I had finished it. I’m excited to see and read more of their books on the future.

Ruthless Hawke is a Second Generation Hawke Family Novel. Although you don’t NEED to read the others to read this one, I personally would recommend reading the other series first. You will know most of the family and their back stories more coming into this one that way. BUT you CAN read it as a stand alone. The Hawke’s New Orleans empire has only grown over the years and so has the family. Children are older and into different parts of the businesses. You have to be ruthless in this town, business, and for this family. Isaac does just that in the courthouse or where ever else it’s needed, including the streets! Their family has suffered enough and it is on him to do what it takes to keep it all safe. There is something fishy going on though! This weird company covered by shell companies has been popping up messing with their family’s businesses. The mob is at their doors, again! And now a woman from his past shows up and throws his world upside down. Mina aka Jack is sick of being dragged around and always in the dark. Sneaking out once, 5 years ago was the best and worst night of her life. But now that past is being thrown back at her at the worst of times. The universe must be laughing at her! She’s not sure what to tell him about the past, but with Hawke blues eyes staring them both in the face Isaac and Jack must figure out a LOT of things and fast!. Five minutes can change your whole world. Now Isaac must defend not only his family and it’s empire, but also what’s his. With threats all around, what will this family go through next?! Can they finally get this other company out of the way? And what about the mob? Again?! A war in New Orleans will defiantly be bad for not only their family but their businesses too. Boy oh boy do you need to read this book!! And all the other sets!! I can’t wait to read more!!! And I just learned of another! I am so hooked!! You will not be disappointed in this book, the series, or any of the other Hawke series!

This is the first book that I have read from Gwyn McNamee and I fell absolutely in love. I read this entire book in one sitting. The synopsis had caught my attention and i was intrigued. When I started reading the first page it had me hooked. Night Hawke starts the second generation of the Hawke Family but it it not necessary to read the first generation Night Hawke is the prequel to The Hawke Family Second Generation Series. Grab this steamy story about a two-night stand between a billionaire heir attorney and the mystery woman running from her life who becomes so much more. I’m excited to see and read more of this authors book.

FIRST RULE OF BEING A NANNY—DON’T FALL FOR YOUR BOSS… This is the first book that I have read from the author and I wasn’t disappointed. I fell in love almost immediately. I’ve always been a sucker for employer/employee romance books. Cry Baby is the fourth book in the Pierce Brothers series. Each book can be read as a standalone and features four brothers who are equally nice as they are naughty.
Amy Highgate always looks on the bright side and she’s determined to make her live-in nanny job a success, despite her new boss being the brooding silent type.
Noah Pierce is a confirmed bachelor who prefers numbers to people. But after the unexpected death of his close friend, he’s now the sole guardian of a baby girl, only he has absolutely no clue how to be a dad. To make matters worse, no one knows who Amelia’s father is.
While Noah is determined to find Amelia’s dad, Amy believes that Noah’s more of a family man than he realises—if only she can help him to see it. Except she hadn’t planned on falling for her boss in the process. Or what they both stand to lose if their working relationship crosses the line from business to pleasure… I’m excited to read more from this author in the future.

His protector was such an suspenseful romance book. There was so much action, suspense, and thrills in it. The author developed the characters beautifully. The plot was overall good. This is my first book I have read by Sara and I can’t wait to read more of her work. She did a really good job.

Exposed is such an amazing young adult fantasy book. The book is action packed, drama filled, with so much suspense and more. I highly recommend you reading the whole series because you wont be disappointed. Exposed was a page turner that makes you wanting to know what happens next. This book is a fast paced read.

Love the stunning cover of this book so I was immediately tuned in and the story was fantastic. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series as this book is more of a “prequel” but it did not deter me from picking up this book and diving in.
I loved the journey of Kai and Byron…..but Kai, who is an Angel of Death, is set out to destroy Byron yet totally drawn to him instead..Kai destroys watchers and demons. Bryon believes that Kai has an ulterior motive but cannot stay away….and as Kai is initially feeling conflicted in his feeling and draw toward Byron. When Kai saves Byron’s life instead of destroying it, will Kai and Byron find anything hidden truths in this fight for survival? Will they deny their chemistry?
This story is fantastic. I love the chemistry between Kai and Byron. Suspense, demons, twists and turns. I am looking forward to diving into more of this series!!!
Shadow Wolf is about a potential forbidden romance. Tamaska is a human that is dead set on furthering her career, she is extremely headstrong. When the Blood Opal (a priceless gem) is stolen she will do anything to find it and save her career. Kodiak is a wolf shifter that was hired with his team to protect the Blood Opal but feels a responsibility to protect Tamaska from the hidden magical world. The sexy scenes are spicy and worth the read alone. It ends on a major cliffhanger so be prepared to buy the next book!

Creatures of the Night has such a strong opening that I wanted to love the book. It starts with portals opening all around the world and creatures coming out and killing the majority of the human population. Due to this females became mages and males became knights. I wished that C.A. King would have fully fleshed out this new world. Unfortunately, for me, it felt like it was watered down and not enough detail was given. The ending feels rushed and very confusing with unfinished loose ends.

Exposed is the third book in The Descendants series by Lea Cherry. I would highly recommend reading the other books in the series first as it does not work as a standalone. Amy is struggling with the recent events that have uprooted her life. Her mother, who she thought was dead is back but she is unable to wake her. She is also struggling to come to terms with who she is and that everything she thought before was untrue. This books has a great cast of characters and the story keeps you hooked. This is a good paranormal fantasy series, this is the first series I have read by this author and I am looking forward to reading her other works.

I love the first book – Echoing hearts and I was truly hoping to get to know each of the characters in the first book even better. This next one was Brandon’s story. Brandon was such a wonderful character. However his wonderfulness is underscored by Callie. Callie is the perfect main character, she is strong and resilient yet despite her past she is still able to trust in people and open up. She had a past that was difficult and the author did not shy away from tackling it. Because just as in real life, sometimes we have difficult pasts that make us who we are. This difficult subject matter is what made this book even more special. It was handled in just the right way. I truly love the romance that was in this but it was also partnered with a lot of suspense. It was well written and I definitely recommend it!

This isn’t my usual book of choice. But I’ve been expanding my types of reading when it comes to middle grade and YA books so that I am able to make great recommendations to my students. This book definitely is one that I will be recommending to my older students that enjoy fantasy novels. This is one that is fast paced and definitely sucks you in at the beginning and doesn’t let you go until the very end. I will say that this is a book that needs your full attention when you are reading or else there will be moments later on in the book where you will feel confused. I am definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

So much occurs in Manipulator’s War that I am afraid to give anything away. To start off, nonbinary Ruarnon is trying to prove that they are worthy to be king. While a supposed peaceful visit with the neighboring king threatens Ruarnon’s life, a group of four students on a field trip stumble upon a portal into a different realm. Manipulator’s War is a current, traveling-between-realms science fiction novel. Although many events occur, each event winds up being a twist of what is expected. This novel will keep you guessing. Manipulator’s War is full of characters with relatable feelings. You feel as though you are in the story with them with descriptive scenery. With the jumping between realms and the different characters, it can become confusing if you are not paying close attention, same with the use of “they/them/etc” for Ruaranon. I would have to make sure that the novel is mentioning Ruarnon themselves and not the company that they were with as well. Overall, I enjoyed Manipulator’s War. I enjoyed how diverse the characters were and the descriptors that went along with each scene. If you are looking for an action packed science fiction novel with relatable characters look no further.

Spirit Guide, the third book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Series, is full of the same witty humor, suspense, mystery, and drama as the first two books. The slow-burn romance between Elinor and Tristan becomes a point of gossip for Elinor’s new apprentice, Twyla, and her maid, Anne-Marie. Elinor finds herself battling a familiar foe from her early days with the Morpheus Society. This was a very quick read, but still involved the same great world-building as the previous books. I fell a little more in love with all of the characters that Byrd Nash has brought to life. She is becoming a favorite author of mine!

Even though this is #4 as a series, I read it as a standalone, and now I want to go back and read the first three. The story centers around multiple murdered bodies as an actors’ troupe is set to perform the cursed play, Macbeth.
As Macbeth himself says, “If it were done when ’tis done, then ’t were well It were done quickly”- I found the book a fast read, yet intriguing. The author, P.J. Mann, does an excellent job dropping enough hints to help you solve the mystery of the murder yourself, without hitting you over the head being obvious. Enough twists and turns to keep it interesting, and if I wasn’t such a well read mystery reader, I might have solved it before Inspector Scala.
I found the banter between Inspector Scala and his colleagues to be refreshing and highly realistic- I thought I was a fellow detective working along side him. The author also characterizes the suspects well- reminds me a lot of Donna Leon’s writing, which is a high compliment. I also enjoyed the inclusion of every day nuisances like traffic refreshing because even the police have similar irks as civilians!
As a side note, while reading this, I assumed the author was male, because PJ Mann illustrates the camaraderie and banter among the male police squad spot on.

This is the 3rd and final book in the Descendants series. I do highly recommend reading the first 2 books first so this book is fast paced and it jumps right back in from the beginning, so if you didn’t know the story you could feel a bit lost. This is a YA fantasy story. It is action packed with adventure, danger, secrets, lies, Mysteries to solve and people to save, witches and magic add an additional sparkles to the story. The author does an amazing job with the main character Amy. She has had such a hard time as secrets about her parents came to light and the loss of her friend and she struggles to work through all that. At the same time the danger hasn’t left and she now needs to try and a find a way to save her mother but when the only person who can help turns out to be the only person she can’t trust, Amy is left wondering if she should put her trust in this person and if it is wise to do so. Can she save the people she needs to without losing her life or soul or will making a deal with the enemy be a decision she will regret? It was a great fantasy read which will keep you hooked all the way through.

This book is filled with witches, magic, adventure, life-and death, mystery, suspense, drama, betrayal, a now or never type of situations. This book the third book in the series and I wish I read the other three, but it did not make me feel like I missed or didn’t understand what was going on. It was very surprising and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, just waiting and wanting to know what was going on. It was exciting with all the number of things going on in the book especially the wonder when Amy found out there was a whole new world that she didn’t know about. Amy doesn’t understand what was going on and wondered what she needed o do, that she must figure out if what she wants is worth making a deal with the one, she finds an enemy. What an amazing read, and really am looking forward to reading the first ones.

This book is part of a series, but a great stand-alone read. This is a classic who-done-it and it has mysteries within the mystery. The characters are well- developed, and the plot moves along at a good pace. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes a good, clean, book in which the author does not have to resort to sordid details (that is the plot device of a poor story). This is an excellent mystery, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the characters.

This is my first audio book by this author and I look forward to more in the future. I enjoyed the narrator’s tone of voice as well as their ability to keep the story engaging. The characters are connectable and add so much to the story. I really enjoyed them and what they brought to the story. I also enjoyed how the narrator brought so much life to the twists and turns that it had me coming back for more. A story of a recovery mission to save a father and a daughter determined to save him. A story with great growth and one I enjoyed listening to for sure. I highly recommend this audiobook.

How To Write A Historical Novel and Love It is a wonderfully written step by step guide to writing a historical story you’ve always wanted to write. I loved everything about this book the way it felt like she was explaining every step to me and giving me guidance on not only researching and writing but the publishing part as well. I greatly appreciate this author taking the time to write this wonderful guide you can tell she put her heart and soul into it. I highly recommend reading this book. I learned a lot and definitely have a much higher understanding of what authors go through to get these books out. I look forward to reading many more books by this author

Where do you start with this book? The chemistry between Jack and Isaac is palpable through the pages. The action is spine tingling. The drama is and the feels are so nerve wracking. That scene with Vivi and Emilio, I wanted to punch him so bad. The family bond is so sweet and yet, suffocating.
After an amazing graduation weekend in Chicago, Isaac returned to the Big Easy and family business missing the woman who captivated his heart, body and soul. Maybe he should have told her his real name. Now it is five years later and a long-time family friend is asking for a favor, to protect his daughter and granddaughter.
Five years after the best weekend of her life gave her the best gift in her life, Giacomina “Jack” is spirited away to New Orleans to be protected by her father’s friends during a family crisis. Upon walking into the office, Jack finds an older version of the man that gave her Viviana. Then meets Isaac. Imagine Isaac’s surprise when he sees Jack and then his own eyes on a little girl. But Jack’s arrival brings danger with her. Now Isaac must risk himself and his family’s plans to protect Jack and their future together.
Between the action, the drama, the steam, the heat, and the banter, this book is unputdownable. If this is where you are starting your journey with this family, that is fine. You will find that it is easy to catch up. And will only make you want to binge read EVERYTHING!!! Pull up your chair at Nana’s table for Sunday dinner, all Hawkes family members welcome!

You’ve got Rae Allen who has a job where she can travel and writes about them. You’ve got Dean Rowland who is a billionaire and has money and family, but still is lonely. When they end up in a situation together, a connection is there. This is a great enemies to lovers book! I love the drama and romance!

Alam – Review by Ashley Hasting
This fantasy story was the first that I have read by this author and I enjoyed it. The writing style was good and I was entertained throughout the whole of the story. It was creative and I enjoyed the fast paced storyline. It had action , betrayal and pesky little assassins. I am looking forward to more by this author in the future! Happy Reading!

What a wonderful read! Dean and Rae have tons of things to work through but reading their journey was great even through the hard times. I love a good slow burn/ enemies to romance book! It’s two of my favorite tropes and this book definitely didn’t disappoint. Great characters and a well written story! I wish I could read it again for the first time!
