The Ghostly Diva (Divine Vintage Series) by Sandra L. Young – Review by Maisie Dickinson

The Ghostly Diva (Divine Vintage)The Ghostly Diva by Sandra L. Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sandra L. Young’s The Ghostly Diva follows museum curator Justine, plodding along in her home town with the odd visit from a ghost, and Jackson, grumpy and mysterious screenwriter from LA whose mother has recently passed and so he’s come to the small town of LaPorte to go through her things and sell her childhood home. Jackson enlists in Justine’a help to go through his mother things, but soon realises he needs her help for much more than that. My favourite character was Justine because she’s quite relatable, the feeling quite lost and stuck in her home town. I recommend this book because it’s a cute love story and the added details of the ghost story, along with the flashbacks and the mystery, make it really interesting. ‘After dipping into real passion, mundane wouldn’t suffice in her life anymore.’ This was so relatable. ‘The hot, demanding kiss threatened to deprive her of oxygen. But what a way to expire.’ This was so beautifully written.

War in Sorcery's Shadow (Ruarnon Trilogy #3)War in Sorcery’s Shadow by Elise Carlson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Raurnon Trilogy. As this is part of a trilogy I do highly recommend reading them in order and from the beginning.
This was was an amazing series fill of magical fantasy adventures, with a underlying story of good Vs evil.
This is the final battle as Raurnon and his friends try to bring truth to the people who were lied to. It is another race against time to save the world from the mad man who wants to get rid of them all.

This story is is full of magic, murder, mystery as well as secrets and truths coming to light. The characters are really diverse and unique which is refreshing, however they need to join together and learn how to work together if they have any hope of defeating the evil against them.

This series was a real page turner which I loved and couldn’t put down. You won’t regret picking up this series if you want a story you can lose yourself in. Prepare to be transported to a magical world where good Vs evil and you are kept guessing who will win

Breaking Apart (A Finnerty and Liccione Mystery, #2)Breaking Apart by Wanda J. Venters
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Breaking Apart was a good read but not what I expected.
The characters were well developed and even not having read the first book I could still follow the story. I guess it fell flat for me because I had a preconceived idea of what I was going to read.

The Rake (Daughters of Dishonour #1)The Rake by Ava Bond
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel was well written, however, I do not get the “English” vibe from the writing. I was also bothered by the author calling Margot an “Amazon”. I am a taller/larger woman and if someone called me that, I would not be happy. Otherwise, I loved the story and the characters.

The book was easy to read and follow. The characters were relatable and I fell in love with them as soon as I read about them. The banter between the two main characters is fun and just makes them that much more real. The author does a great job keeping your attention throughout. I cannot wait to read the second in the series.

Kris & The Cowboys: The Adventures of KrisKris & The Cowboys: The Adventures of Kris by Art Blegen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The cover kind of threw me off, I expected Kris to be a little older, but she spoke like a very young child. I’ve not read any of the other books so I’m not sure if her age is mentioned previously. Ignoring the cover, the story is great. I like that it teaches readers a little about riding horses in the beginning. I enjoyed Kris’s imaginative story about her and Buddy rescuing a cow. She meets some great characters, I really liked Jim the gold miner. I feel this story is great for horse lovers and young readers starting to read chapter books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series of books and this one is no different. While each book can be read as a standalone, why miss anything good? Go read them all!

This is lighthearted humor with a mystery. Enemies to lovers and ghosts are also in this book. I love all the references to vintage fashion, as this is something that I’m finding myself becoming more interested in. You’ll follow Justine’s path of discovery and deal with Jackson’s anger issues. Can these two put differences aside and forge a path ahead together?

Great story and series! Cozy up and enjoy!

A new author to me, and I was in the mood for a historical romance, and it is what I got alongside mystery, murder, debauchery.<br />The characters are entertaining and largely likeable, they have their issues but don’t we all. The Author has managed to describe a world that is historically good and shows things in an interesting light.<br />We meet Lord Beresford (Silvester) and he uses his title to the best of its ability in his rather ostentatious lifestyle. It is true in this book that opposites attract and he is intrigued by the unknown Margot, who is a polar opposite to his ways. They are drawn to each other as Margot works with the Lord to solve the question of who killed the Duke.<br />I will certainly be looking for more in this series.<br />

The Rake (Daughters of Dishonour #1)The Rake by Ava Bond
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Daughter’s of Dishonor series. This is a historical romance but also so much more than that, there is mystery angst, danger, chemistry.
The author did an amazing job of transporting the reader back in time to that period.

Margot Keating is a vicars daughter, she travels from Berwick with a secret that she needs to protect at all costs. She tries not to draw attention to herself but fails miserably when she finds herself involved in a murder mystery and a case of missing diamonds.
And she also catches the attention of a certain Rake.

Lord Silvester Beresford is well know for his handsome looks and charm but one thing he has not intention of doing is falling in love. That is until Margot Keating crosses his path.

Can these 2 opposite people work together to solve the murder mystery and the case of the missing diamonds? And could Margot be the women who can change Silvester’s way of looking at women. Could she be the one he will settle down and change his ways for?

I do enjoy historical romances and with the added twist it a murder mystery really made this a book I couldn’t put down.

Break out the first aid kits for this one. Every child should know how our body works. They also need to know how to take care of their boo-boos. As well as why we must keep them clean and protected. I love the science behind the story. The author has once again written a book with children in mind. The story is easy to read and understand. The history behind the games and toys we played with was also interesting. Another great book and must have for every child’s library.

This story thrilled me! It has action, suspense and young romance. I liked the subject matter since I have not read much about them. We actually get to see/hear and feel their thoughts and emotions pertaining to “singing and the sea”. Corisande is ever curious about herself, the curse and normal people. She is good at heart even though she carries the curse. I did not read book 1 in the series and had no problem following along. So can easily be read as a stand along.

I really enjoyed this historical romance. You are immediately thrown into the adventures as Margot and her sister, Elsie, make their way from the countryside to London only for Margot to bear witness to a murder and to give chase to the person who committed the crime. That chase leads her through the Earl of Langley’s back door and into a world she knew nothing about. As Margot enlists Langley’s help in trying to catch the murderer, these two are thrust together in an exploit that is filled with twists, turns, desire, angst, mystery, secrets, suspense, and danger. As Margot and Langley work together to solved the Duke’s murder, they begin to question whether or not they actually have more in common than they first believed. I really enjoyed their witty banter and the overall push and pull of their relationship. I can’t wait for the second book to come out.

I could really use more of Ducky and Kobreon. I could tell he had a feeling about Ducky after all the time he spent with her in her Duck form. His mom Trisha, she’s a sneaky one, she seemed to want to hook them up once everything died down with the human kingdom. This book has a super interesting story and cast of characters, I hope so see more from these characters in the future. This world they live in, and the supernatural that exist are odd, but they work and I am really into it.

Master Oradea (Masters of the Consulate #10)Master Oradea by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Oradea is on a mission to locate the rogue vampire who is trying to uncover the secrets of the consulate but on his travels the pureblood vampire gets caught up with a fiery character who intrigues him but also, he needs to protect her, but he realised she does not need defending too much. So, as they are weaving through the crossfire something is discovered and if this secret of the stones they must try and keep this away from the rogue elements, but the battle lines are drawn, and The Consulate are ready for the battle.

This is the tenth book in this series and as always follows another Master in the Consulate, this adds the next instalment to the series and drives the story deeper into trying to uncover the rogue elements. These books can be read separately but there is a arch story which weaves through each book, and I recommended reading them in order.

I can’t wait for the next instalment in this series.

Book four in the Life Is Hell series. I am very disappointed… that this series is almost over! I love this series so much. What’s not to love? Magic, Supernatural beings, danger, love and it all takes place in an unassuming small town.
I recommend reading in order as the characters and stories intertwine with each other in the small town of Juniper Lake. Each story is unique though and you definitely won’t get bored!
Sure as Hell is the story of Jaru and Lark. Jaru is an imp demon and Lark is Jaru’s best friend. Trouble comes about, and puts Lark in danger. Jaru wants to push Lark away, to keep him safe. Lark has other plans and tells Jaru his feelings for him. Can Jaru accept Lark’s love and keep him safe? You must read to find out!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gene Rowland is starting to become deluded as an ER doctor and wants to try and rekindled his love for medicine so when he decides to move back to his hometown and becomes the town’s doctor, but he is not prepared for the home welcome he receives or the gossip which relates to the new friendship he has made but are the rumours true?

Amanda Garner is the town’s baker but when she unexpectantly swerved and hit a tree she thought she was dreaming when the hunky doctor appears from nowhere it seemed, but as she starts to come around, she knows exactly who he is. Not wanting to leave her Gene insists that he stay with her just in case she has a concussion but as their friendship blossoms, so do the feelings she has repressed for years regarding Gene. Can she play it cool enough for the gossip to die down or will she throw caution to the wind and go for it.

This is a lovely romantic story regarding two recurring characters in this series and is lovely to see how they got together in the first instance. As all the characters in the Echo Hearts Series they are brilliantly developed and wonderful characters that you just wish were part of your friendship group.
There is a great amount of Chemistry and passion between these characters and its great to see the story unfold, with the added twists and turns from other influences it is a great story and a great addition to the series.

This book is a brilliant coming of age story that mixes adventure and emotion so well. The main character, Scoob, is one that is so easy to get behind. She is engaging and relatable and I found myself willing things to turn out for her the whole way through the book. The journey she goes on is amazing to watch and I loved how she discovered so much about herself.
The story is really well written. Although it is not aimed at my age group, I was still drawn into the story in a way that made me want to read more. The overall pacing of book matched the feel of the story. The characters go through a fantastic development which only made me enjoy reading about them even more. This is a brilliant story that I would highly recommend.

Amese of Animalis (Borosa Legacy, #1)Amese of Animalis by M.J. Murray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amese is a young girl who lives in Animalis with her family, she is the daughter of one of the six Guardians of the land who use elemental magic to keep the balance within the world and for generations, this responsibility is passed down to the child who is marked and this generation, Amese is the next in line.

Although she has this future responsibility, Amese doesn’t want it and she struggles to see why she has been chosen, especially when her siblings seem more suitable, but it is time for her to start her training to prepare her to rule, and so she reluctantly goes along with it.

Part of her training involves attending the Gatherings of the six Guardians and even though she knows they are supposed to work together, she can sense a rift forming between them, but the most exciting part of her training is a ritual using the symbol of Animalis, the jewel toned orchid bee who choose the animal she must transform into so that she can learn the lesson she needs to help her rule.

What lessons will Amese learn during her transformations, and can she figure out who or what is causing the rift between the Guardians? This is an exciting adventure which is full of magic, balance and some suspense as you transform along with Amese as you follow along on this journey of self-discovery.

Breaking Apart (A Finnerty and Liccione Mystery, #2)Breaking Apart by Wanda J. Venters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Woah! Crazier than the first one! Twists and turns, emotional roller coasters, and love for characters you meet as you go.
