I give Chameleon by Zoe Kalo 4.5 stars. The book starts very foreboding and keeps up the suspense and mystery all the way through to the very end. Imagine being sent to a school run by nuns and a quote producing girl who seems to have the answers for everything? The mystery doesn’t stop and I couldn’t help but to identify with each character. Kalo’s development and description of characters are poetic and so readily able to be visualized in my head. I was drawn into the book and felt at home within the pages. A MUST READ for the young adult audience. I recommended this to my 12 year-old granddaughter who started it already and loves Paloma, the main character.
The Devoted Fan is the 5th and final book in the 21st Century Courtesan series by Pamela DuMond. I wouldn’t advise reading this series as standalones. It will read and flow better if read as a series in order. I have loved this series so far and couldn’t wait for Evie to finally get her HEA. I had hoped for a while that it would be with Wyatt but that was not to be. When Wyatt passed away I then hoped she’d find her true one in Wyatt’s brother Easton. Will Evie finally get a HEA? I really loved this book. Evie is troubled with coming to terms with Wyatt’s death and her growing feeling for his brother Easton. Although Wyatt did make it clear that this is what he wanted for Evie once he passed. There’s a lot of drama and intrigue in this book with ‘the devoted fan’ becoming more and more deranged and no longer ‘devoted’ placing Evie in a great deal of danger. This is a great book which ties up all the loose ends from the whole series, including long time boyfriend Dylan. It’s all brought to a dangerous and exciting conclusion that I was totally engrossed in. Loved this book and loved the whole series. Definitely recommend The Devoted Fan.

This book is just so full of emotion. Page Turner with ups, downs and definitely a few tears from me. The love between Lucca and Lexi….undeniable. The strength that SJ Molloy puts into Lexi’s characters is just amazing. Lexi no doubt is a survivor and a very strong woman. Lucca…oh Lucca, my heart!!! This series is just fantastic and this book is just as amazing as the other books!! Its one heck of a roller coaster ride, so hold on and have some tissues ready too. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Blood Mug Red Farlow Mysteries Book 4 By W.F. Ranew ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Here you go! This is a full length Mystery. Be prepared to be intrigued, as you will not easily put this one down. This could be a standalone. I feel you should read the others in this series. Get familiar with how Red Farlow works. No spoilers in this review.
Red Farlow a private investigator, has brought himself into another Murder Mystery. As he goes to meet with the board member at Wickham Art in Atlanta. What he finds is not what he had thought would be waiting for his arrival. Now Red Farlow has to get some answers and find the murderer before another life is taken.
W. F. Ranew has quite the experience when it comes to this book of mystery. It is well written and will keep you turning the pages. His description of his characters and where they are. Makes you feel like you are right beside Red Farlow. I found myself looking around and jumping at every little noise. That is how I love a great mystery to go. The rollercoaster of the unknown, the twists and turns are gut wrenching, but so good. Well Done W. F. Ranew! Well Done!

F. Ranew – Review by Cindy Mayberry
I enjoyed this book very much. Sometimes I felt a little confused, but for the most part I was able to follow along. I felt a very strong sadness throughout this whole book. Andy, was not granted a great childhood growing up, I did see flickers of fun here and there with her and Danny but for the most part it seemed like she wasn’t really acknowledged by her alcoholic mess of a mother. I think when she found Alana and Kenshi, things started looking up for her, it seemed she had a purpose, and then when she lost the both of them, she seemed to be coasting again. Throughout this journey with Andy, we meet many people that she was introduced to, see many deaths she has to cope with and how her life turned out as an adult. The magical element added to the story made it much more interesting At some points I thought this book may be a little too deep for me, but as I kept reading, I became more and more entranced in the writing style. I would definitely recommend giving this book a read.

This is the first I’ve read by Melody Calder, and it didn’t disappoint! What a twisted world Katie lived in with a father like Carl. With her life in danger, Ramone is tasked with keeping her safe. He’s told not to touch, and expects it to be no issue because after all, Katie is just the spoiled princess daughter of the boss… right? It ends up being so so much more, and left me hanging! I’ll be back for the second book!

Lexi and Lucca have been through the wringer. Michael Parks, David, Gina and Kimberly are still causing massive amounts of havoc in the background With the help of their friends and family, Lexi and Lucca show how much love and support can help you get through things. Lexi shows her strength as we see her grow while dealing with issues from the past. The plot in this installment had more romance and twists which I loved. The beauty of Italy can be felt in the descriptions that SJ puts in her writing. Someday I will experience the beauty of Tuscany…Thank you, SJ

Life’s a Witch: A Frightfully Fun Paranormal Romantic Comedy is the third book in the New Orleans Nocturnes Series by Carrie Pulkinen. This series is so delightfully funny, with witty dialogue and amazing characters. I think this book is my new favorite. Crimson and Mike have such chemistry and the stuff they get into is hilarious. Ms. Pulkinen’s writing is so descriptive it really makes the characters pop. If you like fast paced fun paranormal romance I would highly recommend this series.
Hollie Jackson has narrated the first three books in this series, and does a wonderful job. Her voice is smooth and easy on the ears. She really brings the characters to life.

This was a really enjoyable read. It is wrote by a grand daughter who learns about her family’s past and their lives. The author does a great job of making the character relatable and captivating so you can’t help but feel part of their lives.
It was interesting to uncover secrets about the family and see how their lives and experiences all twist together building a Web that connects everyone.
Taking you on an adventure through different countries Anna needs to find out the history of her families past lives to help save her future.

I found Sexy Drug to be a very character centered book. Melody Calder was able to draw my interest in with the constant turmoil within Ramone fighting his feelings and keeping the facade of a killer. Katie’s hatred towards her father runs deep, and she tries to thwart his control at every interaction. She Also has a deep-seated hatred as she suspects Carl’s right-hand Danny to be the one that caused her mother’s disappearance. What I found unique about the plot was that the assassin had a voice. Going by the name of K, he is determined to finish his mission or face a gruesome death at the hands of the unknown person that has hired him. The details of this book are gruesome, and I would caution anyone adverse to extreme violence and bloody death scenes to proceed with extreme caution. The ending was climatic and left off leaving me questioning the true motives of Ramone and Carl Rosemand. I also wonder if K is given another chance to kill Katie or if his botched sniper attempt has cost him his freedom. I can solidly give this a 5-star rating as the plot compliments the character development and kept my interest that I read the entire book in one sitting.

Paloma is sent to a convent because she got kicked out of her school for holding a séance to contact her dead father. Palomas family basically drops her off on the steps and never really heard from them again. She tries to keep to herself but the other girls have other plans for her. She ends up forming a so called friendship with a group of girls that seem too good to be true and we all know when something seems to be it usually always is. Paloma uncovers some convent mystery and who the ghost of Madeline was.
The waterfall seems to call to her where she loses her most prized possession but in the end finds it in the most peculiar way.
Kalo draws you in from the first couple of sentences and I found myself not being able to put it down. I needed to keep reading to find out what kind of crazy went on in this convent.
I had to go back and double check that this book was only 108 pages. I truly think that it takes a huge amount of talent to put so much “story” into just 108 pages. From the very first uncomfortable moment in Wexler’s office through all the tuff times and ooooo so sexy parts this book had me hooked. Cam Johns and Sonya Jesus make one dynamic duo of talent. The flow of the book is AMAZING. I’m extremely excited to see how these two continue their co-writing.

The Eclipse Dancer by Laura Koerber is, as I expected, another original story with plenty of thought provoking content. Ms. Koerber weaves magical realism with deft fingers, bringing complete believability to her work. Andy has been through a lot in her life, and while nursing her dying mother, begins to reflect back on her life- telling her story which flashes back between the past and present, telling of the circle of life, the mother/daughter relationship, thought provoking details, melancholy/sad/emotive moments, sensitive topics, death/dying, choices, mysteries of life, and a little magic. The story is told with rich detail and descriptions, bringing everything to life before my eyes. It was like watching a movie play out on the screen. Ms. Koerber has a lyrical, poetic feel to her writing which also adds to the atmosphere of her work, and making it very easy to read. Another captivating story from this clever writer!

The Devoted Fan is the fifth and final book in the 21st Century Courtesan Series by Pamela DuMond. OMG!!!! I have been hanging out since we started this journey back in book one to find out how everything played out in the end!!! I read this book 3 times before I felt like I could put it aside and write my review. This has definitely been a bittersweet read for me- finally finding out how Evie’s story ends, but also knowing that this was the final instalment ☹ and sooooo not being ready to say goodbye quite yet. But having said that, I FLOVED the story!!!! Pamela DuMond has upped the anti, yet again, and wove a complex, multi-layered, suspenseful, and addictive delight!! I know I keep saying it, but this is just so ADDICTIVE!!!! I am in a such a book funk now because I’m not sure when or how I will get my next fix!!! I hope Pamela DuMond has something in the works for me to get my hands on sooooooon- but in the mean time, I will be re-reading this riveting series from start to finish- again. As the story continues from the previous books, I really do recommend reading the other instalments before starting on this one- as they contain lots of backstory, character introductions, twists and turns, and other important information which will enhance your reading experience of this book, and the series as a whole. I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worth repeating again- this series is wonderfully original, with plenty of complexity, layers, intriguing developments, and clever interconnected details. Ms. DuMond weaves a rich and textured story with wonderful attention to detail and with a vividly descriptive quality to her scene setting, character creation, and story development. This book is dark, sexy, and very emotive- with plenty of danger, suspense, mystery, intrigue, and dramatic developments. It ties everything together beautifully making for a compelling read… I couldn’t, and wouldn’t, put it down until I had read every last word- devouring it in one sitting, before turning around and reading it again, and again. I am expectantly awaiting to see what Ms. DuMond does next! I can’t wait!!!! I need it like yesterday!
Thank you, Pamela DuMond, for such an addictive ride and giving us Evie and the 21st Century Courtesan series- one of my all time favourite reads!!!

S. DuMond – Review by Angela Hayes
When the glamour of fame dims down and the cameras stop shooting, Mila Blanc itches to be the Mafia princess she used to be. She misses her best friend—the man she shared every first with—but most of all, she misses herself. The problem is she’s too proud to admit she was wrong.
For eleven years, Dane Giordano has watched the only woman he’s ever loved forget him. He has hardened by the minute, grown crueler by the hour, and the love they once shared has transformed to hate.
So when Mila comes back during a turbulent time, ready to take her rightful place by his side, Dane doesn’t make it easy. To be his wife, she’s going to have to find herself again and prove she’s worthy of being a daughter of the Sindicato.
Dane is hard to love, but Mila is even harder to break.
Cam Johns began her career as a published author in 2016 with the release of her first book – Arousing Consequences – to the trilogy, The Arousing Series. However, actually publishing wasn’t part of her plan. After her husband was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, she found writing became a great way to relieve the tension and mounted pressures that come with watching someone she loves suffer from such a harsh diagnosis. It was her husband that pushed her to share her voice, regardless of how erotic that voice would become.
Live. Love. Laugh. A well-known mantra that has become her way of living. Live, by accepting the things you cannot change. Love, the ones closest to you as if there’s no tomorrow. Laugh, each day because sadness will get you nowhere!
Sonya’s a nerd—a cool nerd—who loves science, books, make-up and unicorns. She even has unicorn slippers and unicorn plushes adorn her office. It’s not obsession (or so she says), it’s simply an ode to her imaginative side.
She believes in fairytales and in the beautiful things a mind can conjure. She’s a firm believer of empowering the crazy fictional ideas, putting them down on paper (figurative paper because she’s not a fan of writing in notebooks), and letting them flourish into a story. Sometimes that story is about psychos and murders.
Don’t believe me? Ask her in any of her social media. She’s all about those connections.

Luce Eterna Part One is the fifth instalment in the Luminara series by S.J Molloy. This is a dark and erotic romantic suspense- with angst, emotion, drama, danger, and twists and turns. As the story follows on from the previous books I really recommend reading the other books first in order to fully appreciate the story. I had been on the fence with this series, especially through the first couple of books, but S.J Molloy has definitely won me over. I still think that the first three books could have been condensed into fewer books, but have enjoyed the story nonetheless. This is not a light fluffy read- the series is quite raw, with dark themes that could be considered triggers for some people. The characters have been through so much, and there is no respite in sight yet! The author has certainly put them through the wringer. So bring on Book #6!!

The Web of Humanity is the debut novel by Maria Turchin. It is an adventure story that is based on a true story. Jumping from past to present and back again- from WWII to the present day, this adventure has quite a lot going on. With history, mystery, secrets, political conspiracy, hidden agendas, danger, uncovering truths, drama, and more. This is a though-provoking story that examines the web of humanity and our inter-connectedness, while giving us several POV’s and spanning several generations and time periods- which gave me a great perspective of the story. The story leads us to examine aggression, racism, the abuse of power, and war. This is a thought provoking story that raised some questions of my own to examine. Looking forward to more from Ms. Turchin.

Chameleon has all the components of a gripping novel: suspense, paranormal activity, and a narrator you aren’t sure if you can trust or not. It was a fun and easy read that I read within a day. I wish that some events had been elaborated on to build more suspense. A few things felt a bit rushed over. The ending left me feeling like I wanted a more detailed explanation, but the slight cliff hanger was probably intentional! Overall, it was an interesting YA paranormal story that made for a good light read.

If I had a physical copy of this book, I would shelve it next to The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Go Down To Silence by G. K. Belliveau. I LOVED this book (with 1-2 exceptions mentioned at the end.) the story grabbed me and kept me with it. I agree with the author that sometimes we need to be reminded of the ugly in life. We need to remember and feel the ugly from the past to try to avoid it’s recurrence. We need to see the ugly in ourselves to stop it and change it. We also need to see the ugly around us to truly appreciate the beauty. I really loved this story, and the author delivered the story in a wonderful package, until the middle. The story has a very nice ending about 60% of the way through the book, and then the flow gets choppy. It felt like she chopped one book towards the end, plugged in a completely different story, and added the first ending back on after to try to tie them together. The second section is a different genre (action/adventure instead of historical fiction), and has a random stop in narrative to add in an unnecessary sex scene. if not for the strange flow and change of character, I would have readily given this book 5 stars! As it is, the story will stick with me and influence my decisions for life.

I give Blood Mug: Red Farlow Mysteries: #4 by W.F. Ranew, 5 stars.
I have always enjoyed this series and was looking forward to Red’s next adventure. This book didn’t fail to disappoint. Adventure happens right away in the story and then for a little while gets slower. There is a good reason for this though — we are getting background and information on the players in this adventure. While it may seem like a lot, it fits in perfectly when you remember that Red is a private detective and used to be on the force. This is exactly how he goes about things.
Then there is the story itself. It is different from any I have read before and there are quite a few possible reasons for the murder and a whole slew of suspects. You are kept guessing until the end while Red travels back and forth trying get to the bottom of things.
As a modern private eye mystery, I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to those who enjoy this genre. In my opinion, you do not need to read the previous books first, but I do recommend it because they are all wonderful stories.

This is the first book that I have read from either of the authors…but it definitely won’t be the last!
This book focuses on Braelynn and Seth. Braelynn, also known as Shaw, has just been named partner in the law firm she works at. She is a criminal attorney and the mafia men call when they need help. However, her life is about to change when an encounter with another partner sets her on a path she never saw coming. The man she calls to help her is also the man she is having a secret relationship with.
Seth is the son of the head of the Sindicato. After meeting Shaw as she was getting him off of murder charges, he now finds himself sneaking away to spend weekends with her because his family will not approve of their relationship. However, when the unthinkable happens, Seth and his family are there to help Shaw. This leads to their relationship coming out in the open and having to confront his father about it. Can he make his dad see that his heart doesn’t abide by traditions? And what happens when evidence comes to light that can change the dynamics of the Sindicato?
I really enjoyed reading Shaw and Seth’s story. There was love and murder….drama and justice…and some humor thrown in. I am looking forward to reading Dane’s story in the future.

Sexy Drug is the first book I have read by Melody Calder, but I LOVED it. I cannot wait to read the rest of the Losing My Heart series. I was instantly hooked and didn’t want to put it down. Lucky for me, I was passenger on a road trip, so I got to read it all in 1 night. However, it had such a cliff hanger ending that I am left wanting more. The book focuses around Katie, the daughter of a drug lord/cartel leader. When there is an attempt on her life, her dad assigns her a body guard, Ramone. The reader and Katie first believes he is just hired muscle, and one of the “bad guys” but we soon see there may be something deeper. There are hints and clues into his past, and who he really is, but it is never fully revealed. I love that the mystery remained throughout. I love reading mafia books, but this one takes the cake. Highly recommend this book, and cannot wait to read the next book.

This mother/daughter duo did an absolutely amazing job with this book. Sasy is a school for paranormal children to learn about their abilities. Rooming a werewolf with a vampire, who would have thought that would work. They end up as best friends. This story is about children wanting to live up to their families expectations, what child doesn’t want that. I am hoping that they continue to write and make this a series. The book was amazing and I would love to learn more about these kids.

Historical Fiction has always been a favorite of mine. Wareeze Woodson wrote an amazingly sweet novel with great historical detail and that lets you sink into the story. I could hardly put it down.
Emily Riventon is used as collateral for her stepbrother’s wager. Unfortunately for Emily, her step brother loses, the game of chance and we start our story with Phillip Beckely Benton, the Earl of Lenbridge. From here the story starts to get real good. This book kept me entertained and I couldn’t stay away.
I enjoyed the characters that Woodson brought to life. Sometimes when we are in the Earl’s point of view, to me the flow was a little unsettled at times. Although, not enough that I would rate it any less stars.
Blue Summer Part One is a quick read with wit and humor, steamy romance, and magic. Lillie is a strong and independent woman who is used to only being able to depend on herself. One day, her purse is stolen and she runs into two Zayed while trying to recover it. The Zayed are blue humanoid creatures that rather remind me of an old childhood favorite. The Zayed have been in conflict with an evil sorcerer for many years, and this brief contact with the Zayed now has Lillie in the sorcerers sights! When the Zayed take her back to their village, she must figure out her place and discover if she’s strong enough to help the Zayed prevail. My only critique is that I do wish the story did not seem so rushed. The entire first part spans less than two days. The story ends on a cliffhanger that will definitely have you looking to buy the next part! I look forward to getting to read it!
