My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a quick and fun story! This was just the kind of book I needed in my life but didn’t know it. Aaron Rosenberg hooked me from the first chapter and I was fully invested in Wylie, our friendly Yeti, throughout the entire book. Wylie just wants to live a quiet, modest life in Minnesota, but something odd is going on. He starts having terrifying dreams at the same time that murders begin haunting his town. Being a Yeti, he also draws the attention of a certain Hunter. Wylie has a plan to blend into a large city and along the way finds a community of all supernatural beings. His heart is happy and content, but it seems the Hunter is closing in on him. Will Wylie leave his newly found home to keep everyone safe, or will he create a plan to take the killer down? I really loved this book and will be looking out for more by this author!

Ten Thousand Shells and Counting: A Memoir (Book 1) (Teenage War Survival series)Ten Thousand Shells and Counting: A Memoir (Book 1) by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ten Thousand Shells & Counting by Nadija Mujagic is a true story recounting the experiences of a young teenage girl in Sarajevo during wartime in the 90s. I could hardly put this book down once I started reading. This story invoked so many emotions for me. My heart ached so much for all the grief and pain Nadija endured during this time while still just trying to live life as normally as possible. As time goes on, she turns to acting out and taking to adult habits as her morale struggles to shatter under the weight of these confusing and saddening times. If memoirs on war interest you at all, I highly recommend taking this journey with Nadjia.

A Spot of Earl Slay is the first book in Tea Time Troubles Series and is the perfect Cozy Mystery to curl up on the couch on a rainy day. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading. This is a new author to me and I must say I like her style of writing and attention to detail. Her characters are real fully developed and relatable plus they make the story come to life. This is about a mother and daughter sleuthing team who move to a new town to start over after a divorce. What they find when they arrive is a body in their storage shed. Let the investigating begin. What will they discover in this small town? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author and this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You absolutely can’t go wrong with a historical fiction with a steampunk fairy tale twist, a retelling of Cinderella, set in 1876 Philadelphia. Benjamin Grimm and Eleanor Banneker make the perfect team together. I did enjoy though that the author definitely created some additional obstacles for them, outside of just trying to break the curse. She did an amazing amount of research and you really do feel like you are in that time period with some added magical aspects. This was a wonderful young adult book that readers of all ages will be delighted to enjoy. This was my first novel from this author, but I can’t wait to check out the rest of her books!

Ten Thousand Shells and Counting: A Heart-wrenching and Riveting War Memoir (Book 1) by Nadija Mujagic is a story about the author and her family living their lives in Sarajevo as it is besieged by war. This story is potent and heart-breaking as it shows how people have to go on with some semblance of life as they navigate death, destruction, and loss all around them. The author takes right along with her as she retells the story of her childhood that was stolen from her by the senseless violence of war. This is an amazing story of survival that everyone should read at least once.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Spot of Earl Slay by Aubrey Elle is book 1 of the Tea Time Trouble book series. We follow teenager Ella and her mother Naomi as they move to the small town of Fayette. The mother and daughter have moved into a house left to them by Naomi’s uncle, to start over after Naomi’s divorce from Ella’s father. As they get settled in the pair find the dead body of the town busybody in their shed. This was a fun cozy mystery that well…cozy. The neighbors are great and the small town atmosphere is spot on. Watching Naomi deal with the stressors of being newly divorced on top of the murder is very relatable. I also enjoyed reading about Naomi and Ella’s interactions. This was the best cozy mystery that I have read in a while.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am quite impressed with the first book I’ve read by Julia Goldhirsh! I’m so excited that I picked up their book and cannot wait for the second installment in the Gemstone Massacre Series already. I really appreciate the map in the beginning of the book because I feel that it helps me dive into the world itself. I also LOVE the LGBTQ/gender fluid representation right from the get-go. We start off with a little prologue informing us that they were twelve the first time they killed a man, so definitely diving right into the drama. There is plenty of adventure, different relationships, and magic throughout the whole story. I enjoyed the detail and depth of both the characters and the world. The author did an amazing job bringing everything together to start this series off right. I am excited to see what else Julia brings to life for us!

A Spot of Earl Slay is the first book in the Tea Time Troubles series. This is my first book by this author, and I look forward to reading more in this series. We are introduced to Naomi and Ella Front, who are new to Fayette. Upon their arrival at their new home, they are greeted with more than they expected. After discovering a corpse on their property, they quickly meet their new neighbors, Barbara and Ingrid.
As the cozy mystery progresses, we get to meet a lot of quirky characters, learn about the relationships in this small town, and more. I enjoyed the story and the characters. I first got drawn in by the book’s name but quickly enjoyed it more than expected. After reading this book, I look forward to getting the next book in this fun, cozy series.

Olivia has had her share of heart break. Garrett left his one true love behind, to follow his musical managing career, and his up and coming band. Now, while both of them fight the second chance for romance. There are still heartbreak feelings. Can the two people work through their delima? Is romance salvageable for them? This was a fast paced romance. It will open many emotions and leave you wanting to read more of this series. This story is a stand-alone but, reading the series only opens your feelings and those we try to avoid. This author is no longer new to me. Her love for rock music is what makes this story fun and easy to follow. I enjoyed reading this story and will be going back to read the others.

This one was a huge struggle for me. The story seems disjointed at times and filled with displaced random thoughts. I struggled to stay focused and did a lot of skimming as the book moved along. I could not become invested in her life as a result of this. I don’t read a ton of memoirs and maybe thats the problem with my struggle to connect. I expected a timeline and not just randomness.

I did enjoy the last line or so at the end of each chapter. They seemed thought provoking. Chapter 23 was my favorite because it was written with feeling and it evoked feelings in me. The pictures at the end were a nice addition.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Man oh man!! What a great series so far!! I read the prequel to Riley and Cole’s story (books 1 and 2) first and then followed up with books 1 and 2. Although reading the prequel isn’t needed, it does give a little extra to their story that I am personally glad that I read. I can’t wait to read the rest of the Hidden Valley Elite series!! In book 2 SO, SO much happens! This book sucks you in so quick! I read it in two days because I just couldn’t put it down. Cole hates Riley and her mother. He blames her family for the destruction of his family. If it weren’t for them he’d still have his mom. Riley hates Cole. He’s been freezing her out ever since she came into town. She can’t date anyone, she can’t have friends, and everyone is mean to her. He might want her and her him, but they enemies. Living with each other doesn’t help! But their parents (his dad and her mom) want to get married and they swear everything will be okay, safe, and different. Some secrets are deadly though, and she will do everything she can to keep her secrets away from him! He’s hot on her trail though and she must get away. Their game of cat and mouse will put lives in danger if their not careful and what high schooler is careful? When Riley’s father comes into town, their lives get turned upside down. Again. Will they set aside their differences before someone is killed? Will all their secrets catch up to them? That first kiss seared into them both and now the chips are falling all around. You have to read this series!! It will keep you on your toes and hooked until the very end! Then you will be racing to get the next book and the next after that!

Yeti Leaves Home may be written with supernatural characters, but it is a well written, classic, trying to fit into society book that leaves you wanting more. Wonderfully written, superb dialogue between the cast of characters, and a very realistic and believable story line despite the main characters consisting of a yeti, a banshee, and other not of this world characters.

Wylie’s transformation from a loner to friendship blossoms as the novel unfolds is stellar, and in my opinion, the best part of the book. As a side note, the food they consume in the book makes you salivate for good grub. I am definitely going to check out more books from this author!

Ten Thousand Shells and Counting was a storying being told of a civil war that took place in the late 20th century. The book was beautifully written. The world building and details was amazing in this story. If you love a good book about what it’s like going through a war, I highly recommend this book.

A wonderful book about a middle schooler with Autism. Emerson was born with the ability to talk and all of that disappeared around the age of 15 months which is common with those on the Autism spectrum. She is a fiery teenager with lots to say and no way to share her words, there for she shares them in behaviors which are less then wonderful. Emerson goes through the normal teen life trying to not only manage her non-verbal world but also all of those teenager challenges at the same time. A wonderful read.

Afflicted Love (Rhythm & Heart Series) by Autumn Sand

Afflicted Love is the first book in Rhythm & Heart Series . This is a Dark Contemporary MM Romance that will pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. I will warn you there is a trigger warning and I recommend reading with caution as there are parts that are hard to read but if you push through it will be worth it. This author is one of my go to authors especially if I’m needing to loose myself for a couple hours in a book. Kyle and Lyle both have dark pasts but the also have some serious chemistry between them. These two had my emotions all over the place and had me on the edge of my seat at times holding my breath waiting to see how it was going to play out. This authors style of writing and attention to detail along with her raw, yet real developed characters make for a epic story that will leave you hanging at the end. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to spill to much about this story. I’m patiently waiting for the next book in this series. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

Reaper (War Brothers MC, #1)Reaper by Bianca Lee Ward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love me a good MC story and the protective alpha men the WAR BROTHERS MC drew me in. Reaper is the first book in the series, and it is a good start. I wish the story was longer. It is a short read, but I wanted more.
It’s nice to see another Australian author coming into their own. This is the first book I have read by Bianca, and I am ready to dive in to the second book in this series as I fell in love with these men. Hell, I know these men.
Reaper the pres of the War Brother’s MC is loving Ava from afar, from the moment she needed his protection she became his but their lives are complicated. Reaper and Ava’s story is an emotional one. Their romance is a slow burn, and I would have liked it to be a bit rawer and grittier with more steam and more hotness.
I have is that I also felt like we missed out on so much more of Elena and Axle’s story.
I loved the brothers of the MC their comradery, the respect, the love and humorous side of them. They cracked me up as much as they melted my heart.
I am now off to read the second book. I can’t wait to see where Bianca takes these bikers and their stories.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Titania finds herself in the midst of helping the witches thwart evil, courting -not one, but four suitors, and keeping up with ruling her kingdom! She is stretched to the max but will do anything to keep her fae safe. As she comes into more of her role as queen, she is greeted with resistance from other kings and even some princes. Since she is struggling to tap into her power, she seeks out help from the witches and then from her cousins. Can she find a way to her power before it’s too late? Will she be able to find a prince that she can align herself with and grow to love? Or will she just be destined to fail on all fronts?

This is a really interesting series. Titania is a force to be reckoned with and a lot of the older male fae don’t know how to deal with that. She is constantly coming up with ways to save her kingdom in innovative ways, but it never seems to be enough. I hope that eventually they see what she does for all of them, not just her kingdom, and are grateful. The intrigue has me coming back and wanting to finish the series, so I know how it all ends! This was a fun read and an excellent addition to this series! Can’t wait for the next one!

3.5 stars
Cecily in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager is a sweet YA romance that will delight YA readers. It is a quick read with teenage drama and angst, anxiety, jealousy and deep-seated insecurities and misunderstandings. As I said before Krysten is known for her YA romances and it is what she does best.
The story is well written and flows well that will keep her younger readers engaged.
Cecily has two passions than man she loves and acting. Unfortunately, she learns that it is a cutthroat business and the lies, the images and innuendos will either break you or make you. Trying to deal with the fame and dating someone famous maybe harder than she ever imagined. Once again jealousy and uncertainties make for a precarious relationship.
You shouldn’t believe everything you read in this business.
Mind games others play when they don’t get what they want are a dangerous road to traverse. There are characters that you can’t help but like and then there are those who you want to take down a peg or two.

Brave Kids: Short Stories to Inspire Our Future World-ChangersBrave Kids: Short Stories to Inspire Our Future World-Changers by K.J. Kaschula
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful collection of children’s stories that are short enough for most attention-spans (wiggly worms) and long enough to fit in some good life lessons. The illustrations help draw everyone in and are adored throughout this book. I enjoyed reading this entire collection with my two kids who are 7 and 11. I feel like there were some great conversation starters in each chapter, and we paused to talk about what they would do in each situation or what the underlying issues could be.

Two stories really stood out for me were “Catch Your Thoughts Before They Ruin Your Day” by Samantha Ena Minichiello and “Amaleigha Tames a Bully: Kindness Can Change a Hard Heart” by: Janice Pratt.

Catch Your Thoughts Before They Ruin Your Day is incredibly relatable to me even now because even adults have emotionally turbulent times, and some of us weren’t taught the best coping mechanisms. My kids especially enjoyed it because they have recently been learning about fixed mindset vs growth mindset, so it was really cool timing for this to come into our lives.

Amaleigha Tames a Bully is truly a work of art. Unfortunately, bullies seem to be in every grade at every school, but what happens if we dedicate time to uncovering the root of it all? I loved this because it’s easy to shrug off a bully as a mean person that you should just ignore, but when you have a bad day, week, or month, don’t you just really want to feel needed and loved? This sparked the longest and most compassionate conversation with my kiddos! I highly recommend picking this up for the classroom or your family. There is absolutely something in this collection for everyone!

Corpse PixieCorpse Pixie by Sinister Styx
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book I have read by the incredible mind that is Sinister Styx. You can read the synopsis a hundred times but until you read the first page and dive deeper into their world you never know what you’re going to find. Something I didn’t expect was to connect so much with Rene, having suffered the loss of my Irish twin in June 2020. So, I felt myself connecting deeply to him and understanding his grief and drive to bring justice for his sister’s murder. Told from two perspectives, Belladonna Shade, and Rene Corbin.
Belladonna has been hiding for her survival in the woods, becoming content with the existence and plotting revenge schemes in her mind. Never imagining she would get a chance to follow through to have her own Thrall to help her get the justice her people deserve against the Hunters. Rene has grieved for three long years, only finding a distraction from his self-destructive ways three days ago at the latest crime scene. His twin sister Cerise and now three other women have become victims to an unknown killer. The interesting little twists and turns are one of the most captivating parts of this author’s work. Just when you think you know what to expect a little twist is thrown in deepening the plot and fleshing out the story more. Each discovery seamlessly leads to more questions with some answers in between. Belladonna and Rene become entranced with each other. She spent decades hiding without worry but since meeting him she’s lost count of the number of times she has left the woods to follow him, until she finally commits and makes him hers.
Will they find the killer in time before they claim another victim? After all this time, can Belladonna finally get her people some justice? Does Rene truly mean more to her than a means to an end? The worlds the author can create in such a quick read is a true talent. More so the depth of the characters truly pulls you in with their claws holding on to you until the last word. I can’t wait to read more of the amazing books by this author, don’t think it’s possible to get enough.

There was a lot love about this story but I did have some things that bothered me.

I love a second chance romance, and the overall story was great. Riley is a private investigator who has a good time in the romance department because she spends her days busting cheating spouses. Tristan is a firefighter with a psycho ex that is causing allot of issues in his life. Together they find an unbeatable love to overcome all.

My only issues come with the timeline and development of the characters. The self work that each man character needed to with through was rushed. If this story was a tad longer with more main character work it would have been a way 5 star!

If you are looking for a super cute, steamy quick read, this will totally sooo the trick.
