To start Valarie really annoyed me, her immaturity made me want to slap her at times. There are no nicer ways to describe her but she annoyed me all the way through this book.
I really liked that we saw the dark side of the entertainment industry in this book, the author did a really good job at showing that I really enjoyed the plot.
I also loved reading the banter between Valarie and Flynn banter is one of my favourite things to read in a story without a doubt.

Book Review: Jake the Growling Dog Goes to Doggy Daycare: A Children’s Book about New Experiences, Friendship, Stress Relief, and Kindness (Jake the Growling Dog Author: Samantha Shannon FIVE STARS Teaching children about how they are feeling and how to deal with those feelings is a very difficult thing, however Samantha Shannon has opened up a whole new world on this with this amazing book. Watching and learning how Jake deals with is unease in a new environment can help teach children coping mechanisms that they can also use in the future. The interactive parts at the back of the book that help kids understand the story even more is GENIUS!!

Book Review: Southland Academy for Supernatural Youth Authors: Sandra Tentler and Brook Tentler FIVE STARS This is a YA paranormal suspense. Not scary at all but more of an adventure/who-done-it thing. PERFECT read for a preteen or a young teenager (although I also loved it). Six new friends who have “developed” supernatural powers are going on a hunt to find the person who is taking things. Really cool book and I hope to read more about Southland Academy. KLH

This is nice little clean book. Deviln and Lily are both in for a big change. I like how we got both POV from these characters. It’s very cute and nicely written. The plot was nice and easy to follow as well.

I really enjoyed this selection of stories. All of them are based around a myth or legend with a romantic twist. Each author does an amazing job of bringing their stories and characters to life and fully immersing the reader into their story.
One of my favourites has to be Dragon’s Heart by Carrie Austin Malone. I loved the fast pace in this story and it contains dragon shifters which I love reading about.
When Mary starts getting dreams of dragons and a very handsome man she assumes that it’s just dreams. What she does realise it that its her mate Geraint connecting to her through their bond. As time passes Mary feels the body stronger. When something happens to Geraint she knows she’s the only one who can help him. Will she be able to save him in time? Will he be everything she dreamed off? Or will reality be so much better than the dream?

They spoke of the blue skinned Zayed in hushed whispers. They said we should fear them.
Fear was born of ignorance though, and I realized how wrong they all were.
Little did I know that my first encounter with The Zayed would not only change my opinion, but change my life forever.
Kidnapped for what the sorcerer thought I could give him, only to escape and be gifted with the very thing he sought. Now, I had to figure out my role in all this and not only save myself, but possibly the entire Zayed Community.

One kiss with a stranger at a bar. A moment of weakness that awoke crushing waves of desire within me. To my great regret, instead of letting me further explore the bliss of his touch, he walked away. I never thought I’d see him again, but fate had other ideas. Maybe I should have walked away when he said all he could offer was good sex and mind-blowing orgasms. But he’s a temptation I couldn’t resist, and now… my heart is on the line.

One taste of Jules’ lips and I ached for more. Stunned by the passion I felt for her, I made myself pull away. I don’t do relationships. Not anymore. And I knew how easy it would be to lose myself in her. Still, it would have taken a stronger man than I to resist when she stormed back into my life. I don’t want to hurt her, but I can’t give her what she needs. I’m not the guy who offers forever. I’m a euphoric distraction and nothing more… or so I thought.

Cam Mackintosh is in his last year of a science degree at Melbourne University when he is offered the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to help establish an entirely sustainable community on an island off the coast of Australia following a deadly outbreak. The community is presented with a clean slate; a completely new eco-village, protected from the outside world, but with much of the knowledge and technology of today. The community on August Island thrives and is established on modern values of gender equality and cultural inclusion.
T.S. Simons is an Australian author of Scottish heritage. Living in the alpine region of Australia, she believes in the values of sustainability and community in a world where we place greater value on possessions than people. The Antipodes series addresses the question—if we gave young people the opportunity to start over, would we replicate the mistakes of the past?
Her desire to assist others saw her working in international development before realising that her passion lay in education. She holds a Bachelor and Masters degree and enjoys drinking coffee, travelling, mythology, snow skiing, while attempting to live as sustainably as possible. She is owned by two rather bossy standard schnauzers and two rescue cats who co-manage her household.
Antipodes is the first novel in the Antipodes series, followed by The Liminal Space and Ouroboros. A novella prequel, Crossroads, is now available. She is working on a fifth novel in this series, Caim.

I’m Delilah Hawthorne, vengeance demon, tired of killing, and in dire need of a vacation.
I thought I’d found peace in the tiny town of Juniper Lake, but apparently fate has other plans.
Between three conniving witches hellbent on murder, and a hot, but nosy sheriff who needs to mind his own business, it looks like the old saying is true – there really is no rest for the wicked.

I was very surprised by this audiobook; it was very engaging and captivating. You could feel their chemistry coming off the words and narration. I could not stop listening to it. I recommend this listen to anyone who enjoys heartwarming office romance. As I was listening I was cheering for Adeline’s character to find her happily every after what that meant for her, she is such a strong woman that it is nice to see her vulnerable through parts of the book.

This novel l, while slightly different, is beyond great. Even though it is set in post-apocalyptic Australia, it touches on today’s issues. This is a wonderful young adult read. T.S. Simons is a fantastic author and it shows.

This novel had me hooked from start to finish and the author took me on an epic, emotional rollercoaster of a journey which I have kept thinking about long after I finished the last page. Due to Turchin’s wonderfully written and detailed descriptive narrative I felt that I was alongside the main character, Anna as she embarked on her adventure. The storyline flows well and the numerous plot twists kept me gripped throughout this intriguing and original novel.
The authors obvious immense research shines through in the historical details making the time period of the story really come alive along with the various different settings, adding to the feeling of being immersed in the story and being there with Anna. Anna Venu of Arizona has to use her traits of being cunning, perceptive, and witty to survive the journey she finds herself on having accidentally discovered a very surprising family secret. Anna’s thrilling and sometimes scary adventure sees her crossing Vienna, Paris, and Berlin in the hope that she can unravel a mystery that takes her back to the final days of WWII. However, Anna soon finds herself involved in a modern day European political conspiracy and when she becomes a target she is determined to not only survive but to also uncover the truth that she set out to find.
“Told in a unique storytelling style, this book stretches across several generations and time periods”, which kept me reading late into the night. Despite this novel being fairly long I found I had read it in no time at all as I literally could not put it down. I fell in love with Anna and thought she was an amazing main character who really bought the whole story together and I felt engaged with her, and almost like I knew her as her character was so well defined. This was a very different novel to read and much more than an historical novel about WWII, the author definitely gets the reader thinking whilst reading. I definitely recommend this enjoyable and engaging novel and I look forward to reading future books by Maria Turchin.

Eye of the Storm by Amy McKinley is the second book in the Gray Ghost Series, but it can be read as a stand alone story. (Though you’ll want to read it because Amy McKinley writes amazing stories.)
I was excited to find the same narrator performed both stories, as she really helped bring the story to life.
Chris has found himself in a terrible situation. He is alone, injured, and unable to remember anything about his life previously. The lady supposed to be his wife, is by his side and helping, but in trouble herself. Can he save them both and bring back his memory?
