My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love the author India Kells. I loved all three of these books and there’s nothing better than just getting all of a series immediately. It’s not like I’m not going to read them! I have to read a series in order, and I suggest it for this series as well. All of the characters are well developed and bring life to this story. I enjoyed the forbidden love, redemption and forgiveness this series has. I definitely recommend this box set!

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell #1)No Rest for the Wicked by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. Everything about it made me happy. I legit read this book in 5 hours? Didn’t put it down once. Delilah was our main female character and from the beginning I was hooked and couldn’t wait to see what she got herself into. Our main male character Malakhi had me drooling- a sexy man in a uniform who wants to help people. Yes please! I recommend this book and can’t wait to see what Life is Hell book 2 brings! I loved the sexual diversity of this book as well. Get me a little MFM while seeing what kind of adventures we’re going on- HELLO read this book lol :). **There are no graphic sex scenes in this book** Sad for me but if you’re not into the details then great for you ;).

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. This is the second in the Cozy Mysteries To Die For series. Beck is the most awesome character. I fell even more in love with her during this book and CAN NOT WAIT for the next installment. Lizzie is an amazing young woman and I just know she’ll be great to get to know more about as well. Also- if every book had a Miss Alice my life would be complete haha. If someone were to ask what my style of book is- basically it’s this. I loved it so much and absolutely recommend it.

This is my first book by Julie C. Gardner. I loved her writing style and all of the plots and twists she has. Our main female is Addy who is lost after the unexpected death of her mother. She has an 11 year old daughter Josie. I loved all the characters in this book- even Ivy (though i called her some nasty names haha). Definitely a good read and I recommend it. I’m going to read the others in this Friendship & Secrets group. You don’t have to read these in order to appreciate them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first book by Rachel Huffmire. It will not be my last. Truly masterful. She reimagined an old classic by dusting it off and giving it a spin that was awesome! I loved this book so much and I’m headed to the second ASAP! I love the time travel aspect in this story and I wasn’t sure I would. It was easy to keep up with where Rachel was taking you. Can’t wait for more from her, found a new favorite author.

Tompkin's School: For The Resurrected (Supernatural Trilogy #3)Tompkin’s School: For The Resurrected by Tabi Slick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my 3rd book by Tabi Slick and the last book in the series for Tompkin’s School. I love the writing style of Tabi very much. I can’t wait to see what else she puts out there. The main focus is still the twins in this story. Other characters are important and I enjoyed them. Everything is so neatly intertwined, my opinion is read them in order. If you’re looking for a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat, with some sorcery and great adventure this is the series for you!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book by C.A. King. I haven’t really been into supernatural books lately, but I’m so glad I took a chance on this one. Our main female is Clara Fawn. She’s your typical teenager, hates moving around as often as her parents need her to for their work. Hates going to new schools CONSTANTLY. Hates when her parents keep things from her and won’t let her do normal teenage things. This story had my attention right away and I cannot wait until the next one comes out.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Heart by Isra Sravenheart is my second book by this author and the second book in the Blackened Series. In this book it’s love and light vs the dark. I will always stand by reading the books in order- so, read her blackened soul first. Lady Isra is trying to lead Contessa into the darker side, which is not Contessa’s way. I was interested to see where this book went after the first one. I am curious to see what happens next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my 5th Madeline Dawkins Mystery by Cynthia Hamilton. I’m already a huge fan of Ms. Hamilton’s, and this book did NOT disappoint. Madeline and Mike are at it again, picking up cases and trying to fight through lies and secrets to get to the truth. I love how much she’s including Samir, he’s been such a great character! I would literally read anything Cynthia Hamilton writes, but her Madeline Mysteries are my all time favorite. I can’t wait for the next and I hope she doesn’t stop writing them any time soon!

Tompkin's School For The Dearly Departed (Supernatural Trilogy #2)Tompkin’s School For The Dearly Departed by Tabi Slick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my second book by Tabi Slick. Tompkin’s School: For the Dearly Departed is a story that includes mystery, danger, and suspense. You absolutely need to read these in order. Besides the fact that Tabi Slick’s ability to wordsmith is outstanding- you get to follow everything happening easier with reading in order. Izzy and Kain are in the middle of it once again as the new school year starts, and new challenges evolve for them as well as new dangers and different enemies. I recommend this trilogy if you like paranormal and even if you don’t- this storyline is fantastic and will get you turning the pages to see what’s happening next.

Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High, #4)Heartbreak Rebellion by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hero High: Heartbreak Rebellion by Mina Chara is the second collection of this great series. This collection contains books 4- Depression, 5- Acceptance, and 6- Hero. In my opinion you have to read each book in order, that way you get the full effect. I have read each of the books and the storyline just keeps building. This book picks up with Friday waking up from her coma. She’s got her life planned for her by her producers but will Friday let them tell her how to live her life? Read this series to see what you’re missing!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first book by Lisa Jones Gentry. I love paranormal stories and crime is my jam. This book put them both together. I loved this book! The plot was well established and the characters are well developed. Detective Bob and Clive (he’s the poor dude that got whacked) go through who could have caused Clive’s murder. The twists and turns of this story were amazing. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book for this series!

The Saint of Liars (Lucky Devil #2)The Saint of Liars by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We are back with Rune Leveau at the Luck Devil Bar. We Met Rune in Book one when she had inherited the bar from her Aunt who had recently passed away. The Lucky Devil series is about a young woman named Rune who is a wife named June Masterson who reinvented herself after her abusive husband threw her under the bus for his crimes. Rune doesn’t trust the corporations so things are rough until she decides she wants to find out her ex-husband’s secrets. Rune is a great protagonist and Saint Benedict is just the perfect love interest for her despite both of them carrying serious emotional baggage. The story truly does deepen and expand, building on the characters and plots from the first book. The world Megan builds is so clear. Magic and corporate intelligence, is a wonderful combination. Once again Megan Mackie has created a book that has the old world and modern world colliding in the most amazing way. There is magic, action adventure, suspense, some mystery, drama, tension, chemistry, intrigue, danger, secrets, different realms….as well as a slew of mystical and mythical creatures. Who wouldn’t want to jump down this rabbit hole?!?!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my second book by N.L. Holmes. I enjoyed reading The Crocodile Makes No Sound, A Lord Hani Mystery- an intriguing ancient Egyptian thriller. My opinion is you have to read them in order so if you haven’t read Bird in a Snare (book 1) – do that first. Lord Hani is still facing dangerous situations and doing his best to go through every investigation. Every story I’ve read from N.L. Holmes is always well written with amazing characters and storylines that always give awesome action and great stories.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story Remember My Name (Remember My Name Series Book 1) by Laurencia Hoffman is a Romantic Suspense book. It’s my first book by Larencia Hoffman. The main characters in the story are Shane Coulter and Callan Reid. I’m also a fan of MM books, so I was super excited to read this right away. The world building and story execution are fantastic and I cannot wait to see what happens in the next installment. This is a little dark and sad in places, and I found my emotions were all over the place while reading some scenes.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve never read any books on how to start getting a book published before. Nor have I read anything by Danielle Ackley-McPhail. I’ve always toyed with the idea of writing a book but never knew where to start or how to formulate any of the ideas in my head. The fact she has checklists and reminders of things not to do is amazing. This definitely makes me want to get back to trying to write a book! Build-A-Book Workshop was incredibly informative about pieces of the designing process for books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book by AJ Eversley. It was the type of book I get so excited about that I can’t put it down. Sienna has spent her entire life inside the DEZ, a glorified orphanage for unwanted Marked kids. Fighting in the Underground isn’t about the thrill or the glory, though Sienna has achieved both, it’s about the money and a way out. Jayla is a Watcher. She’s been tasked with keeping her city safe from an enemy the citizens don’t even know exists. I can’t wait to see what she writes next, I love her writing style and how deep she writes these characters.

This is my second book by Lisa wood. I’ve read book 1 of this series. I feel like you have to read the first book to read the second, but I like to read in order so I’d recommend it. This is a MMF/MM/MF. Ava, Thomas and Hunter were destined for a life together. Then in college something happened to tear them apart. Will they be able to build a life again or will that not be an option for these 3? This was a great book and just as I’ve expected from Lisa the characters were well written with such depth it’s like they were people in your life.

Together they need to recover missing documents stolen from Maddy’s house.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my third book by Jessica Aiken-Hall. Each one of these books have been awesome and this one was just as amazing as the first two. The story is suspenseful and had me turning pages to find out what is happening. Valerie Williamson Phillips is still our main female character. This book is different in that Valerie has to protect herself and let those around her help defend her life she’s built. I don’t want to give spoilers but when your past comes back to find you, do you run or face it head on? Such a great book!

This was my first book by Nesa Miller. The beginning of this book had me slightly confused but it ended up working out. Our lead female character is Etain, a human turned Alamir. Our main male character in my opinion is Dar- Lord Darknight. There are multiple players in this story and they’re all a great supporting cast. This story was well written and a unique take on lovers who have a hard time finding their time to be together. It was a good story and I look forward to the next book.

All the characters are well developed and well written. I’m interested to see what the next book brings. There were a few more editing mistakes than I felt should have been but it was a good story.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love Cynthia Hamilton. This book was so unlike anything I’ve read from her, I wasn’t sure how I would feel. The raw emotion portrayed in this book was heartwarming. It made for a fantastic read. I loved learning how a writer can go from one genre to another without any transition. It was flawless just as her other books are. This is a phenomenal story that is mostly factual but written as fiction as the way she writes. I can not wait for another book from Cynthia Hamilton- bring. It on.

The Trouble with Paradise (Madeline Dawkins #4)The Trouble with Paradise by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We all have those authors whose books we will purchase without even reading what the actual book is about because we love that author so much. Cynthia Hamilton is that author for me. I LOVE her writing style and the way she creates a story so in depth it’s like you’re an active member of the story or at the very least- watching it like a movie. This is my 4th Madeline Dawkins Mystery book, and I cannot wait for another one. She struck gold with this series. I love Maddie and Mike to no end! This book will give you multiple different scenarios for a couple of cases that have been dumped on the duo. Will Steven Ridley be a problem for them this go around? What other kinds of trouble can these two with their new crew at MDPI get into? Read to find those answers and so many more.

This is my first book by Isra Sravenheart. This is a fantasy style book leaning to the “dark-side” of witches. It was an interesting take on a “villain’s” point of view. Our main character’s name is Lady Isra of the Dark. She is very knowledgeable in all things magical. I’ll be interested to see where the author takes this story in the second book.

This is my second book by M. Billiter. I read A Divided Mind first and couldn’t put it down. This book was the same for me. However, this book had so much more emotion than the first one. I honestly had a small cry break in this book. Beautifully worded and written. In the first book you get Branson and Tara’s POV. In this book you get both twins and I am at a loss for words at how exceptional this book turned out. It is sad and heart breaking, but mental illness does not get enough explanation in the world – this book shows the truth of it. Absolute must read.

I loved this book and honestly couldn’t stop reading all day! I can’t even fully explain my emotion with this book. As a mother I was bawling. As a best friend with someone who has a mental illness disorder I was gutted and felt every single word printed like a stab wound. It was beautifully written and thought out brilliantly. I absolutely recommend this book. I can’t wait for book two, I’m headed there now!

It does have a historical aspect that I’m not used to enjoying, but did! Our main character is Lord Hani, an Egyptian detective. He is sent to investigate a murder and what he discovers is a plot that takes him on a dark and dangerous journey. I can’t wait for more!
