Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Master Calabrea is hot, sexy and single. Many are seeking to be his mate for power and prestige. He has no interest. Vangs will come out when the green eyed monster raises its ugly head.

The hunt for Isala is getting closer and closer. Many factions will need to work together to make this happen.

Emby’s cousin Tansia has come to Italy to work at Descalia nightclub after a break up that has broken all trust and self confidence. She is a spitfire that takes no guff from anyone. Quite capable of looking after herself. I loved her spunk and attitude.

Tansia’s job offer changes when she gets to Italy, with her agreement to the new job offer, she is sent into danger a human should be terrified of.

Loved this book so much. Excited for the next book to see what happens.

Ocean's Three (Made In Heaven, #2)Ocean’s Three by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Made In Heaven series. These books can be read as a standalone. This book and story was a very emotional and powerful read. I love these stories. I love the paranormal element how they meet in their dreams and eventually find each other. This is also a romance between 2 males and a female.
The author does a great job with the characters and the writing allows the reader to feel the emotions of the characters which makes it a really immersive read.

Cameron and Reed are cousins, Cameron has a special psychic ability but the expands when suddenly a young girl appears in his room and things get even more strange when Reed also appears in the room. As time progresses they realise they are meeting in their dreams. What neither of them expect is for feelings to grow and for them to feel an instant connection to each other.

Over the years things happen in all of their lives which keep them apart but they always find their way back to each other. But it’s only a dream right?

Years later when Jocelyn is on a cruise working her world explodes when she sees her two dream men walking towards her. The connection is instant, all 3 of them feel it. Can a relationship between all 3 of them actually work? Will Jocelyn be forced to choose between the two men? And what happens when the cruise ends and reality hits them? Will they be strong enough to fight for their love against all odds?

This is a steamy read about dreams, finding your soul mate and fighting for a love that is unconventional but very real.

Shadow (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book Two)Shadow by D.M. Earl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow. Just wow.
If I thought I was emotionally invested in the first book, it has only intensified in this one.

My heart ached for Shadow and everything she had been through, but I could see how Shadow’s past shaped her and it gives me an even greater appreciation for her. The way that she fights hard for those who need it and her dedication to free those trapped as she was is heart-breaking, especially as her own mental wounds are still healing. I thought Shadow was portrayed very well, there was the right amount of balance between the trauma and recovery and the way she initially reacts to the character of Panther felt raw. She is such a strong character, I love her.

Panther is also a lovable character, his patience and support for Shadow makes him perfect for her as she tries to heal and move forward.
He himself has his own healing to do and I think that helps him in understanding Shadow and her needs. He plays an important role in the book, not just as a love interest, but also in helping the women being trafficked.
I enjoyed the pair’s dynamic, and their progression was realistic and relatable – I was rooting for their relationship the whole way through.

Another great book in this unique series. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

Streets of ShadowStreets of Shadow by Rebecca Bischoff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Streets of Shadow” is the first book I have read by Rebecca Bischoff, and I will be seeking out her others. My favorite part of this 1600s-setting novel is the descriptions Rebecca writes of the dark alleyways and living conditions of Scotland. Every night I read this novel, I felt like I was transported to the sounds, sights, and social dramas of the time period.

The story itself features around a very likable fifteen year old named Kenna, and the trials and tribulations she endures in order to discover what true family and friends are. Along the way, she grows up in many different aspects and transforms from the high-society girl she thought she was on the outset. Well written, thought out plot makes this book a very enjoyable read, wanting to know what Kenna does next.

Tink (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book One)Tink by D.M. Earl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was hooked from the very beginning. I absolutely love the fact that the MC is all-women as it makes a refreshing change from the all-male MC novels I’ve read. But not only is it all-women, they’re dedicated to making a positive difference, taking down the human trafficking rings.

I love Tink, she is so relatable in that she wants to make a difference but has so many things going on, she’s feeling overwhelmed. I’ve certainly felt similar so her strength to persevere is very inspiring, even at the height of danger. Her strength in her struggles and her determination in helping others makes her a wonderful character to root for.
I also liked Ellington and thought he was a great fit for Tink, and not only does his background assist in helping with the mission to bring down the traffickers, but it could also help him save Tink.
I loved the way they came together and really enjoyed seeing their chemistry grow into something more.

The author’s writing style engaged me from the beginning and made the story easier to get lost in – the descriptions painted a vivid picture of the scenery and characters.

It’s clear that each woman of the MC has their own story and I hope to read more about them as the series progresses!
I’m very happy that I found this series, the idea of the all-women MC is brilliant, but the fact they are all strong women doing good while being fierce bikers makes it even better. On to the next!

A Stranger in Disguise (A Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome) by P.J. Mann – Review by Kirsten Berkebile

/0 Comments/in /by

This is book 4 in the Italian Murder Mystery series.  This book was inspired by a real case that happened in Italy. It’s the first book by P.J. Mann that I have read, so I will be reading the full series soon. I was intrigued by the title of this book and that its similar to an actual murder that happened. While I like the start of the story, I felt rather bounced around towards the middle of the story. I feel like there are too many characters and not enough mystery/action happening. I might just give it another go and try to reread it later. The characters themselves were intriguing to me, their names sound like foreign and yet similar at the same time.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Master Calbrea is one of the vampire council members and oversees his piece of territory in Italy and now the search for Isala has come to him and he is determined to find her, he is the proverbial tall, dark and handsome and all the women love him for it. Tansia is a woman with a troubled past and deep seated insecurities because of it, so when she moves to Italy for a fresh start, she doesn’t expect anything more than a job and a chance to see her close friends, however, when she meets her friends, she is also offered a chance to use her skills to aid in a search, but there is one person who doubts her abilities and Tansia has never backed away from a challenge.

When Master Calabrea and Tansia are partnered together, they are reluctant, but it is a feisty mix with Tansia’s fiery, red headed personality and Calabrea’s dark determination, however, what they don’t expect is the heated attraction which is sparking between them. Meanwhile, Isala is turning more of the supernatural community against each other and manipulating those around her for her own gains, while placing false leads and trails everywhere.

As the days pass and they get closer to Isala, Tansia starts to discover she has some magical abilities and visions, but these are both a blessing and a curse as they lead her into insurmountable trouble and against the orders of a certain vampire master. Will her headstrong determination to protect the community she is beginning to love lead her to a brutal choice, but will she choose a future filled with love, or an ending? This is another fast paced adventure full of romance, action and supernatural antics, where time is running out and it is a race to see who will end up on top.

Shadow (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book Two)Shadow by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadow is the Devil’s Handmaidens MC enforcer, I one-percenter motorcycle club of all women. She is strong, serious, scary, and THE force to be reckoned with. We meet Shadow in the first Devil’s Handmaidens MC book where we discover her position as enforcer makes her switch into a monster who can torture, kill, and cause so much pain, nobody wants to be on her bad side. In this continuation of the series, we find out why and how Shadow is who she is and can do what she can. Panther is a Navajo Indian who fought in the military and has his own warring background. In this story, we get to watch 2 halves become a whole, and be ripped apart by something so intense, it could kill them. Shadow’s past. This book is tortured and beautiful, heartbreaking and strengthening, painful and comforting. This book is an enigma of contradictions and I loved it so much! Be prepared for trigger warnings, this book is full of them. But if you can make it through, it is worth knowing Shadow and seeing her wounds reopened and healed all in one story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a heavy book for me. There’s a lot of detailed scenes in this book, so please heed the content warnings. Shadow is definitely a complex character, and by the end of the book, I found myself applauding her from her character arc of survival to living. Those of us who have personally dealt with similar issues know what I mean by that. It’s a very fast paced book like the first, and the new characters introduced in the book are some of my favorites so far. If you’re into the MC books, with lots of tenacity, twists and turns then you would enjoy this one!

This was a very fast paced book! Loved the HEA, and the plot line. The writing style was different from what I’m used to, and it took me a bit to get used to it.It does have very heavy content material, so please proceed with caution and take breaks as needed. I normally don’t read a lot of MC books, but this one was pretty alright! Mafia still has my heart, but if you love gangs, justice, romance, and some kick-butt fighting, then I would definitely recommend this for you.

Frozen by Lies (Sleigh Riders #1)Frozen by Lies by Martha Sweeney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Sleigh Riders Series. The author got my attention within the first chapter reading the conversation when Noelle and Nikolaus first meet. This paranormal romance brings two feuding biker gangs some angst as Noelle and Nikolaus’ attraction becomes evident. Family members can sure be stubborn about things! I really liked Noelle and Nikolaus’ characters. As they head out on an adventure, the storyline gets more interesting.
Overall I enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

Taming Brooklyn (The Club Kings Series Book 1)Taming Brooklyn by Charlotte St. Pierre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book! Taming Brooklyn gave the reader so much. Happiness, sadness, pain, suffering, love, friendship, and the beginnings of a polyamorous relationship that looks like it might be spanning a few books. And you know what? I can’t wait! The way the author wrote the main characters, it pulls one in. You get invested, and you can’t help but root for them. There’s some very dark themes throughout, but there’s so much light as well.
Brooklyn is broken, in every sense of the word. Mentally, emotionally, and physically, which has made her into a recluse. But one night out to bid her best friend adieu, changed all that.
Jaxon and Oliver went for it and even though she ran, they knew she was something special. Unfortunately convincing Aiden and Gideon of that would be another topic. What they didn’t expect is she would be the very woman who was running a branch of the nonprofit they wanted to get involved in.
What do the Knight brothers want with Brooklyn?
Will her checkered past come back to haunt her? Could it ruin them? So many questions and this book only answered so many, but it’s okay because it was left open for book two!
The emotional trauma these characters go through doesn’t seem real, but they are all very real scenarios that people can very well relate too. The way the author presents these past stories may put people on edge, but it gives so much to the book that has been written.
The Knight brothers found each other and helped heal each other from their emotional childhood traumas, declaring themselves brothers and changing their names in the process. Will they be able to do that very thing for Brooklyn as they navigate the feelings they share for her?
Will she let them?
I want to keep writing but I know if I do, I’ll start posting spoilers to this book. So at this point all I’ll say is read it. Develop your own feelings and connections to these characters, just like I did.

Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was another good vampire romance in the Masters of the Consulate series. This book sort of leaves off where book 5 ended – Isala is trying to overthrow the underworld and kill her sister. They have been hunting her and finally feel they are on her trail. In book 6, things are going down in Master Calabrea’s territory. They do not know who to trust because even their own kind seem to be turning on them. Master Calabrea and Overmaster Descallia are going over plans to keep everything under control. What Master Calabrea didn’t plan on was Tansia, the cousin of Embry, who works for Overmaster Descallia and is with his right-hand man, Lucus. The tension between Calabrea and Tansia is there from the start – he doesn’t want to have to take care of another person, especially a human even though he is physically attracted to her. Tansia, doesn’t want to get involved with the underworld, she just left a bad relationship, and she doesn’t like how Calabrea is eying her up and down. However, Overmaster Descallia groups them together to try and find intel on what is going on. Tansiacomese to find out that she should have powers of sight; she does not believe this to be true because she claims she has no powers. However, it is foretold that her sight and a master will save the underworld. This partnership quickly takes a turn toward romance. Because of the blossoming love, will that help them save the underworld, will she gain the power she needs to win this war, and will being a human get in the way of everything?
I thought this was a good addition to the series. It wasn’t my favorite story in the series, however, but I am glad that answers are finally coming to the forefront. I thought the characters were great. Tansia is a badass woman who is proficient in martial arts, and for a human she can really handle herself in their world. Master Calabrea is a little mysterious and rough around the edges, but completely loveable. The banter at the beginning that they have gives great build up. While I love that this book, and many of the others in the series, moves quickly along, the love story portion of this book happened in a blink of an eye. One minute I felt like they would never allow this relationship to happen, but then the next chapter starts and it is a completely different story. I would have just liked a little bit more build-up. Overall, still a good addition to the series.

Shadow (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book Two)Shadow by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC and once again D.M. Earl delivers. The continuation of learning more about Shadow is seamless in a way. In Tink, book one, we get glimpses of the fierce enforcer but in this book everything is laid out at our feet breaking our hearts and lighting our torches again. Similar to the first book this book gives us multiple perspectives including more from Tink.
Shadow’s story is finally revealed, the reason for her face tattoo, the reason for her indestructible walls that she hides herself behind, everything. After years of praying Tink finally believes in God when he not only heard her prayers but answered them in the form of Panther. In her words anyone with eyes could see he was in love with and only has eyes for Zoey (Shadow). He sees her true beauty, feels the tattoo on her face only enhances it, everything about her has him entranced. Panther has been tracking a pedophile ring for years and finally has a chance to take them down, calling Shadow for assistance everything suddenly goes belly up when the ring leader only wants Shadow. All hands-on deck as the search for Shadow begins.
Can they find Shadow in time? Will Panther succeed in getting through her walls? Shadow has found someone that loves her and everything about her, but can it survive all that is thrown at them? This series has a way of hooking into your soul and dragging you back for more no matter how much your head tells you to walk away for a moment to breath. These women are more than heroines they are everything and more to the survivors they rescue, because they are survivors themselves. They understand the pain and the demons each victim has survived and shows them they can fight those demons and win. I can’t wait for book three, Taz, May 18th, 2023, to learn more about these incredible women.

Shadow: (Devil’s Handmaidens MC: Timber-Ghost, Montana Chapter)

I had to let this marinate in my head before trying to write this. The horrors that Zoey (Shadow) went through should have been more than she could survive but she did not give up. Now she does what she can save others and try to stop the sick monsters from doing it to others.

Panther is the type of man I dreamed of meeting when I was younger. Strong rugged man who gives Wind in His Hair vibes (yes I know I’m dating myself) and a strong desire to do everything he can for the woman he loves.

I have been impressed by this series and Ms. Earl, the two I have read by her have kept me wanting more as I turned the pages. Will be looking for more by her in the future.

Tink (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book One)Tink by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by D.M. Earl, and she set a high bar for other MC books. I haven’t read any others before this and the over all story and the work that the Devil’s Handmaidens take on is awe inspiring. While this book is Tink and Noodles story its so much more than that. Being the first book in a new series Tink sets up the world and introduces you to the characters that make the world what they want out of it. As a survivor myself of sexual assault I found Tink’s flashback of when she was 12, to be a little difficult to make it through and had to take a few after to continue but it was well worth it. Told from not only the main couples’ perspectives we get the perspective of Shadow also.
Tink is the president of the Devil’s Handmaidens, after a tragic event when she was only twelve years old and then another one at eighteen; she discovers her hearts mission, ending human trafficking and abuse. Noodles is a Navy SEAL veteran that is new to Timber-Ghost Montana helping a friend Ollie, with his heart mission. Building a sanctuary for military vets and animals. No longer wanting to play games and wanting to settle down Noodles is up front and honest with Tink, informing her that he is interested in her and doesn’t want games but to see where things go. With a little shove from Shadow, Tink gives him her number and things begin. Shortly after an intruder on Tink’s ranch has her and everyone around her searching for the person responsible and asking the question why. Shadow is the Devil’s Handmaidens Enforcer; she does what she must so the others don’t have to. Being one of Tink’s only constants she is family, not by blood but by heart. After the break in and the warning of “soon” written on her wall Tink has no choice but to share her survivor story and the reason for her life’s mission with others outside of her family and MC. Hannah, the result of her assault at age 12, raised by her parents as her sister. Six years later while out with Maggie (Tink) she is kidnapped and disappears.
Will Tink ever find Hannah? Is Noodle truly the one meant for Tink to bring her solace? Can they make it through and still have a part of their souls intact? The world the author created, the characters, the plot and twists this book is everything I never knew I needed. Tink is truly tiny and mighty as her father says. I can’t wait to read book two, Shadow, and learn more about this fierce woman that finds a way to keep going after everything she’s come face to face with.

Shadow (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book Two)Shadow by D.M. Earl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another gripping story about the all women’s motorcycle club, the Devil’s Handmaidens MC, the Timber-Ghost, Montana Chapter. Full of action, drama, suspense and a little steamy romance this book kept me hooked throughout. Zoey “Shadow” Jeffries is the club’s enforcer, and has a heartbreaking back story, of being sold into slavery as a child, then being left for dead and having to fight for her freedom. Shadow, along with the club now help protect and save other young trafficked victims from sexual predators.
When Shadow meets Panther, a sexy Navajo horse rancher, they become a team navigating the dangerous world of human trafficking, in order to save the women. However, working together they can’t deny their mutual attraction or chemistry, which sizzles off the page. Both have their own pain but they might just find their own happy ever after together. Another dark storyline which is not always an easy read, but the great characters and the connections between them make this an engaging story. I felt completely immersed in the MC’s world thanks to the descriptive narrative, and I look forward to returning to it, with the next book in the series.

This book was hard to put down once I picked it up and started reading it. We learn a lot more about Shadow in this book, her history was heartbreaking and she has been keeping the worst of it a secret. This was an emotional read from all the horrific things that have happened to Shadow and the terrible things done to the children but also the emotions that come from all the people that care about Shadow. My emotions while reading this story were definitely up and down throughout. I found myself rooting for Shadow and Panther to be what each other needed. I can’t say enough great things about this book and how well the author wrote it. I can’t wait to read what the author has in store for us next. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in the Masters Of Consulate and wow this series just keeps getting better and better. I love the danger, the romance, to mixture of vampires and shifters and witches. These books literally tick all my boxes.

In this story we are with the Masters trying to still find Isala and the rouge witches and shifters that are trying to take over control. In this story the hunt and arrived in Master Calabrea’s area and he is one vampire you definately don’t want to mess with. No one dares answer him back or stand up to him. That is until he meets Tansia. She is fiesty and when she is tasked to work alongside Calabrea neither of them could know the feelings that would evolve between them.
Add to the danger of all the rogue members of the underworld after them there is also the jilted lover of Calabrea to deal with.
As thoughts of not being good enough swim through Tansia’s mind the option to change is taken from her hands when it becomes a matter of life or death. Is this what was seen the prophecies? Who or what actually is Tansia and what part will she play in saving the vampires and protect their way of life. Is this a case of fated mates and what will the consequences be of her and Calabrea teamed together for eternity? Could Tansia be the missing piece of the puzzle to finally catch Isala?

Fallen Soul is another exciting and unpredictable installment in the War Of Destiny Series by Theresa Van Spankeren. This book grabs you from the first page and it’s almost impossible to put down! I really enjoy this series and Fallen Soul is the most action packed and suspenseful book yet! With wonderful new characters like Lane, I find him so cool and think his interactions with Julia and the rest of the Ka-Tet are really fun to read. He is also very relatable and the author’s mesmerizing writing makes him so easy to root for! This book and series in general also makes you wonder if we all might have a destiny! I really hope there is more to this series! To experience all of Theresa Van Spankeren’s entrancing paranormal fantasy series, War Of Destiny, I would highly recommend starting with book one Lost Soul! You will not be disappointed! Wonderfully unique and refreshing read!

I really enjoyed Chicken Little Investigates by Lois Wickstrom. Chicken was one of my favorite books as a child and it was such fun sharing this retelling with my children. When Chicken Little gets hit on the head with an acorn she thinks the sky is falling until she and her friends investigate. I really enjoy how this story encourages young readers to investigate and do experiments to figure things out. Once again the writing is witty and cute. The illustrations are fabulous as always. My boys gave this one 5 stars and I fully agree!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions (Notebook Mysteries book #5)Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emma is at it again but this time it is to save the children that have been kidnapped! With the constant support and help of her family and her boyfriend Jeremy, Emma and the Pinkerton’s are able to locate and rescue the children including the niece of a local law enforcement officer. The mystery and intrigue do not stop there by any means! Emma and Jeremy are given a vacation by an unknown source for a week at a beach house and they are very excited and enjoyed the time away from such a terrible case involving the children. Who would send them on such a lovely vacation for free and anonymously? That I will not reveal! After vacation, Jeremy continues to wrap up the work on the kidnapped children, identifying them, and getting them home to her parents and Emma is summoned by a past acquaintance to come visit as she needs the help. Emma goes to her and helps her out along with two other women and their daughters. In the end, a debt was paid off from an unlikely source, a man was put behind bars, and Emma was successful at helping the women escape their marriages and difficult lives.
One of my favorite book characters is Emma. She is an extremely wise and insightful character and a total bada$$!! I love how the books by Mullins has strong female leads and a bit of history weaved in for a great read full of adventure, mystery, and a dash of romance. The setting in historical Chicago is wonderful as the scenes of traveling always take me away as I ride along whether by train, horse and buggy, or just riding a bike. I cannot recommend this book more highly. In fact, read the entire line of books by Mullins that have Emma as the heroine! You will not be disappointed!

First let me lead with TRIGGER WARNING FOR RAPE!
This book wasn’t bad. I enjoyed it and it really kept me reading. I had parts where I just had to stop and ask myself “ummmm is this really for me?” But I kept reading because I just needed to know how it ended.
I don’t want to give anything away in my review so I will keep this one very very brief.

Falling for You (Buckeye Falls Book 2) by Libby Kay – Review by Ashley Mertz

Falling for You (Buckeye Falls, #2)Falling for You by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Falling For You by Libby Kay is available now in eBook and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

“Much like the perfect recipe, love cannot be rushed.”

Falling For You is the second novel in the Buckeye Falls series. This sweet, small town romance takes place in Buckeye Falls, Ohio. Pastry chef, CeCe LaRue and Evan Lawson work side by side at Max’s Diner. The two of them share a crush that neither wants to admit to the other. When Eric, a celebrity chef, hosts a food competition in town the people are ecstatic. Evan thinks this could be his perfect chance to get closer to CeCe. CeCe worries that this will stir up the past and destroy any chance she has with Evan. Will everyone be able to turn down the heat in the kitchen to overcome the obstacles?

Although Falling For You is part of a series it can be read as a standalone with minimal reference to the characters/plot of the first novel. However, I do HIGHLY recommend reading the first novel, you won’t regret it! I loved the sweet banter between all of the characters. Each one of them stood beside one another during the hardest of times, especially CeCe when meeting Evan’s family. His father was the most awful type of man! For a while I found myself mad at CeCe for not being honest with Evan, but let’s be honest we wouldn’t have the perfect story if she was honest right off the bat. The setting of the diner, the line of work, and food competition was perfect, believable and relatable. All around, I absolutely loved Falling For You. Libby Kay stole my heart once again. I can’t wait to see what Buckeye Falls has in store for us next.

His Forever Muse (Book 2 of The Echo Series)His Forever Muse by C.R. Alam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this friends to lovers romance story. This is one of my favorites by this author. I found this book to be well developed where the author used details to make the story realistic. A story where it is full of not only romance but some suspense as well. Brandon and Calliope have known each other for most of their lives. He is her brother’s best friend and should be off limits. What happens when she runs into him in the middle of the desert? He is a steamy adult now but does that mean he is still hands off? You don’t want to miss what happens with these two. They have great growth and chemistry throughout. There is even a little suspense that you won’t see coming. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story. It is entertaining and easy to read. An engaging story that I highly recommend.

Shadow (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book Two)Shadow by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadow is a total bad ass and Enforcer for the Devil’s Handmaidens MC but underneath it all there is a vulnerability mixed with true strength that Panther sees and is drawn too. Shadow doesn’t always make it easy, the demons from her past that she carries with her make that difficult but he knows what he wants and he wants her so no way is he giving up! I absolutely loved these characters and the truly creative and wonderfully written storyline created by this very talented author. I started this series on book 2 and my enjoyment was not effected in any way as it definitely can be read as a stand alone BUT I enjoyed it so much that I will be reading the first book and the rest of this amazing series as soon as I can!

Chicken Little Investigates (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom

Chicken Little Investigates (Science Folktales) is a cute children’s book about discovering new sounds and investigating how/ what makes a certain noise. Chicken and her friend Henny Penny are out and about one day when all of a sudden something falls and lands on chickens head causing s bump. These to go on a adventure to the palace to see the king for a name of this discovery. Along the way they meet other friends who also have things that make a certain noise. Together they continue on the palace to see the King. I read this to my five year old son and he loved it so much we read it several times. I highly recommend this book to find out what happens next especially if you have younger children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews around four to six years old or so. My son and I love this author and have read several of her books. We can’t wait to see what incredible story she brings us next.
