The Exchange: A NovelThe Exchange: A Novel by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t know if I have ever wanted to shake a character I just met so much in my life!!! There’s gullible and then there’s just dumb. Sam Crawford was definitely not blessed with the brains even if she thinks she can act. The ending of this book definitely had me doing a quick double take. I did not expect the last chapter, so that was cool twist to a very dark book. The writing was good and the book was easy to read – the character is just mentally exhausting to follow.

This story has SO much potential. The spicy scenes were very well written and descriptive enough to create a mental image. I only wish there was more life to the characters and the plotline. I love the concept of meeting real people in your dreams and then finding out later they’re real.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book opened with a banger!! To be kissed like a stranger how she was kissed??? I totally get why she struggled not to be attracted to her best friend’s boyfriend…. If your best friend was the epitome of a mean girl.
This book is like a late 90/early 2000s chick flick. The pining, the drama, the long wait for characters to get their act together. I really did enjoy reading this and watching Jasmine find her groove was beautiful. Can I get a movie please?!

Whispers in the WatersWhispers in the Waters by Sarah Chislon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The narrator/main character of this story gives me Sherlock Holmes/Nancy Drew vibes. She’s drawn to questions and puzzles and puts herself in situations she shouldn’t by sheer stubborn will.
  Jessa travels with her aunt to a town called Milburn after her aunt receives a letter requesting help from a friend. In Milburn, near the Crossing, the Dyott Mill seems to be smothered in secrets and mysteries and it will take everything Jessa has, including what she’s scared of to solve the investigation and hopefully save the life of a few people.

Much Ado About Dying: An Irish Urban Fantasy Novel (Guardians of the PHAE #2)Much Ado About Dying: An Irish Urban Fantasy Novel by Rowan Dillon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s never really a good sign when the old gods begin to meddle with the new world. As the “Unhidden” fight for survival from a group of xenophobic maniacs, a sickness breaks out and spreads like the Rona. Fast, deadly and unpredictable this plague only adds to the hatred and fear from the normal people. Our group is split up as they are pushed toward areas that can make better use of their talents. Anna, Komie, and Róisín are all contacted by entities claiming the names of old Irish gods offering their assistance.
I did enjoy the addition of the gods for this book. The multiple POVs are still distracting but I’m beginning to get the hang of jumping around so much. The sequence and timing of this book was different. I thought the last book jumped around but this one mentioned things regarding other characters before it was revealed and sometimes I had to pause a moment to remember where the character had last left off. I am beginning to get a personality variation between the characters which is exciting. Definitely will be checking out the last book.

Taming of the Few: An Irish Urban Fantasy Novel (Guardians of the PHAE #1)Taming of the Few: An Irish Urban Fantasy Novel by Rowan Dillon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It’s not too hard to imagine a magnetic pole shift activating the hidden bloodlines from the legends of our ancestors. It’s even easier to imagine society being afraid of change and attempting to stomp it out no matter the means necessary. A group of misfits all afflicted with new powers end up at a safe house in Ireland to learn about the new changes within them. Targeted by fear and prejudice, the “Unhidden” must learn to control their powers and work together in order to survive.
The concept of this story is believable and quite unique. The multiple POVs made it hard to fully immerse myself into the story and it jumped around a lot. I really liked the inclusion of multiple cultures, but the characters were written very alike in opinions and feelings despite different faiths and races.
The ending did have me on the edge of my seat. And I have to pick up the next book to check on a few of the characters I was able to get to know.

Kamana Wanalaya for the Holidays: A Grinchy/Sunshine Holiday RomanceKamana Wanalaya for the Holidays: A Grinchy/Sunshine Holiday Romance by Susan Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was the perfect book to get me settled into the holidays! It got me out of my reading slump and I legitimately ugly laughed myself to tears in one scene. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for this author in the future.
Tenley has a popular podcast on Practical Adult Relationships. When she sarcastically mentions the Love Guru and his romantical couple’s retreat in her podcast he feels the spontaneous urge to issue her a challenge… If she can go to this couple’s retreat in Hawaii for a week and not fall in love with Love, he will donate a sum of money to her podcast and admit publicly that he was wrong.
I could not put this book down and laughed so hard at times that I had to stop and read tidbits to my partner. Tenley and Teagan are a blast to experience and I could have mentally stayed at that resort for so much longer than the book allowed.

Raine Down (The Shadow Guardians, #1)Raine Down by C.B. Samet
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In a post Ragnorok world where Midgard is the only realm of the original nine left, Raine Thoren is a Shadow Guardian that has the ability to fight demons and evil bloodlines. Her mission gets even more complicated when she runs into an FBI agent while trying to apprehend her biggest bad guy yet.
FBI agent, Will Decker is a man who works better alone and has keen and sometimes eerie instincts. Everything he knows is put to question when a young woman saves his life and is then partnered with him shortly after. Will and Raine will need to trust each other in order to work together and their perpetrator is a cunning and otherworldly kind of evil.
I loved this modern take on Norse mythology. The slow burn attraction was fire and oh so satisfying! It’s not a cliff hanger ending and yet I’m screaming for the next book already.

Shadow and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns, #2)Shadow and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had an inkling this book would leave me with a cliffhanger based on the previous book, but I’m not as upset this time around. It is better to read the book and series before this or you won’t understand certain references but the action can be enjoyed regardless of where you are in the series. This book doesn’t have as many references to previous books but they are there.
Chloe has definitely grown throughout this book. She is still a cluts and not very handy in a fight, but she is more willing to try. Her heartfelt attempts are still for others, but some of it begins to spark for herself and it’s wonderful to see her confidence strengthen. Quinn was a lot less enjoyable this book as his anger and prejudice take over his best qualities; but the slow burn between him and Chloe is a nice turn from the bleak mood of the novel. Faerie is dying from iron poisoning after the mortals have infiltrated it. It seems every direction they turn they are met with opposition and only by putting their heads together can they figure out a way to save Faerie.
The characters in this book are enjoyable to read even when they are being asshats. The scenes are detailed enough to envision it in your mind. The ending has me ready to see how things will progress with the next book.

The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale SeriesThe Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Soppranaturales hotel is a great place to go if you’re not human. Vampires, witches, werewolves and much more reside here under the human radar and its kind of like a safe house for monsters.
Link is the last known Fae and lives at the Soppranaturales hotel and works as a clerk. His life is completely changed when Ommily enters the hotel and he realizes that she is also Fae. As the last 2 fairies on the planet, they have the potential to be the most powerful beings alive but they have to prove that they are as powerful as they’re supposed to be.
Both of these characters are impulsive and it had me shaking my head throughout the whole novel. The descriptions of the surroundings and the use of magic was very detailed and easy to envision. I’m not ready to check out of the Soppranaturales hotel but; alas there are no more pages.

River WitchRiver Witch by Cheryl Burman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From the very beginning, Hester is a captivating character. Her willful spirit is admirable and she maintains those traits even when she goes through the hard times alone and her situation seems bleak.
The relationship between her and her mentor Aaron grows into something more as he teaches her how to make healing ointments and tinctures through herbal lore like her great grandmother before her once did. Hester’s mother sees this as silly folklore and suspicious witchcraft and tries to steer Hester towards a more “appropriate” craft. When Hester makes choices that have some ruinous consequences regarding the opinion of society, she’s left to face those consequences alone but not as alone as you might think.
There is a mystery throughout this book that leaves you with something to think about once it is finished. I still have questions; and yet, this book goes right into the top 5 of the best witchy vibe books with feminist themes such as self reliance and empowerment that I have ever read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I ended up buying the book because the ebook version was in black and white on my kindle which was hard for me to read. I knew based on the illustrations and the first poem that I wanted this poetry book anyway.
I’m glad I bought it. The vocabulary throughout this book is LARGE. I highly recommend having your Google app open to the dictionary as you read this. This book was relatable for me once I fully took the time to understand what I was reading and WOW does it flow off of the tongue when read aloud.
If you like poetry and The Beatles, this book is for you.

I love mythology books and this one does not disappoint. Azreya is a curious, yet intelligent child that is Cursed by the Tepeyollotli at birth. Her parents, with the guidance of a shaman named Nukpana decided to leave her with the Shaka so he can help her beat the demon within her.
Although Nukpana teaches Azreya everything she knows, he is no friend to her and she ends up on her own with the knowledge that the Spanish are going to invade her land and if she doesn’t get all of the Aztecs to fight as one her people and her culture will be destroyed.

What a fun and original read! A young adult, slow burn romance, fantasy that is appropriate to read for your teenager with fade to black scenes.
In this world, superheros are a common sight and they actively save the world and fight crime when the opportunity arrives. Ashali is your typical loner girl out on vacation with her best friend Miranda in Florida when she meets a handsome boy at the bar named Jase. A spontaneous decision to go home with Jase makes for a lengthy adventure of superheros, bad guys, a growing attraction neither party can deny and a discovery of one’s own ability to be a badass.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ermagherd!! What a way to leave me!! This book is a little more intense than its predecessors. I nearly choked on a gasp I wasn’t ready for and I gasped a lot. Fabulous writing!
This book may have “Kara” in the title but it isn’t solely focused on her like Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse focused on little Finn. And oh man! I thought everyone was split up before; but now, they’re even more split up as war comes and revenge seeking volvas exact a plan. I really loved the split view between Midgard the Realm Between during the war. Seeing the myths in action was especially epic.
My heart is weeping for all of the loss that happened in this book and I will be ANXIOUSLY awaiting the next book to see where all of the Agneson clan ends up next.

This was an interesting read for me. I was just as confused as Roxanne a majority of the time with what was happening. It is like an episode of the Twilight Zone. I like the idea of this story, but I think the pacing of it fluctuated a little too much for it to remain believable for me throughout the entire read. The ending threw me for a loop though!! I definitely did not expect all that! This book is a quick read with a touch on grief and a happily ever after ending.

Princess of PriasPrincess of Prias by Courtney Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elle is similar to most orphans. She feels misplaced and has a deep seated curiosity about her birth parents and where she comes from. When the woman who raised her passes away, she finds something that changes her life forever. She comes to find out that she’s actually an alien princess and the bulky hunk of handsome revealing this information is bound to protect her!
Locan is a warrior of the Royal Guard and is very similar to the Hulk when his princess is in danger or enemies are around. It will take everything he and his inner warrior has as well as blessings and guidance from the goddesses in order to fulfill his mission and get the Princess back to their home planet. He only has to make sure he doesn’t frighten or push away the Princess in the meantime.
This book was a super fun read. I fell into the story so easily and really didn’t want to put the book down when I had to. I could definitely read more about Prias if we are ever blessed with another journey.

On Viking Seas (Forerunner Series)On Viking Seas by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The third book in the Forerunner series begins where the last book left off. Events are looking a little grim for Cub and Kara as Cub is a captured slave, and Kara is being forced to be put on the market for marriage. The rest of the Agnesson clan do end up in trouble as well.
Finn and his uncle Karl have managed to make an enemy of a dark elf in the last book and that hasn’t been left in the air as the elf gets the help of three witches to try and kill him. Sorven is finding himself in adult like situations and is managing to react like the child he is. There were a lot of face palms when I was reading about Sorven.
This series is so well written. I can see it in all play out im my mind and Finn’s adventures would make an excellent video game. Finn and Kara are my favorites and I can’t wait to read more!

The Second Alpha HeirThe Second Alpha Heir by C.L. Ledford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Do you like werewolves?  Love fated mates with a slow burn romance, mysterious prophecies and the glow up of an underdog (ahem… wolf)? Me too! This book is for you.
Nolen starts off as the little brother of the next Alpha that’s bullied by his pack because he’s small and appears to be weak. When his brother Archer is killed the title of next Alpha falls to Nolen and he is sent off to train with the wolves of an ally pack. As the reader, we get to follow along as Nolen’s strength is tested and he matures into the alpha wolf he is supposed to be.
This story is told by two separate point of views and the other narrator is Amora, the ally pack’s alpha’s daughter. She is drawn to Nolen from the day he arrives and sees in him everything she wants as they grow up together. As Amora’s older brother Sawyer and Nolen become great friends as time carries on, she struggles to reign in her emotions and keep her feelings a secret.
I enjoyed the characters and the whole world of this book. This story spans a lot of years which was surprising for how short it was. Despite it being short in pages, it is filled with adventure and really does feel quite complete all on its own.

It took me a while to get into this book and every percent was a struggle. This is NOT the book’s fault. I am a mood reader and this was not my mood. The beginning does start off a little foggy; and by foggy I mean that I really didn’t know what was going on. Once you get to Finn’s point of view it starts to pick up and things start to line up a little bit better. I don’t know much Norse mythology or history but the important parts were explained in a well enough way that I was able to keep up. And! Some of the locations from historical shows did ring a bell.This book has a LARGE character list and I had to take side notes to even begin to keep up.
Epic fantasy. Vikings. A beautiful wedding and a pretty epic battle. It starts off a little slow, but keep going and you’ll be swept up in story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So, I may start letting some time filter through before reviewing some books because I’m a little miffed at the ending…. I mean, come on!
This read…. Chloe is not your typical main character. She’s a little weak, a lotta insecure and she stumbles more than Ella Enchanted does; but, she is understandably relatable. That selfess motivation to help those around you does have a tendency to wear you down and some of those enlightening moments really stuck with me. I really enjoyed that theme throughout this book.
This series is a spin off series from the author’s Court of Bitter Thorn series. I think I would have fared better having read the other series previously, but I fared decent during my read. Quintus is a fae from the fae realm that shows up randomly needing Chloe’s help. There is some definite tension from a history that isn’t completely conveyed throughout this series; so I spent a good moment wondering what I missed.
I can’t count how many times my brain said “Go Quintus!” while reading, despite not know the full story. I’m definitely team Quintus!
A pretty slow burn book with forced proximity, a good morality and a cliff hanger ending that will take me a minute to get over. Where’s book 2?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The throuple I didn’t know I needed in my life!
Angelina Squires is a normal artist with some strange, exotic dreams of two men pleasing her in ways she has never been pleased before. When she sees these two men in real life, her life changes forever…
Salvatore and Luca de Laurentis, a pair of hybrid twins between angels and vampires have been waiting to meet their mate for centuries. When they get the scent of Angelina, they know she is the one they have been waiting for and arrive just in time to save her from the demon Viktor whose main goal (like all demons) is to take over the world. Now that Viktor has discovered their mate Angelina, they only have so long to convince her to take on the role and responsibilities that entails.
I enjoyed this book! If it wasn’t for life and adulting, I could have finished this book in a couple of hours. It’s not often that the first book in a series can bring me to tears; and yet, the emotions were so well written that that’s exactly what happened. There were moments within the book that I did want more plot than adoration, but I was still captivated to the page.

Oh. Mylanta! This is a fabulous read! I have placed it in my top five of the Greek mythology retellings that are so popular nowadays and I am definitely eating them up like golden apples. Speaking of metaphors…. this book was so poetic in its metaphors. So many highlights because the phrase just struck me as beautiful and sincere.
I did struggle a little bit on separating Apollo and Hyacinth’s point of view. There wasn’t enough of a personality change for me to know whose mind I was in. Aside from that though? The slow burn, the hate to love, the unspoken forbidden love and strong female characters makes this book an entire win for me and I cannot wait to see the events of the next possible ascension .

Zenni and Colton end up feuding over a plantation that Zenni’s ancestors were slaves to and it’s one underhanded blow after another. I have to admit, the lengths they went to was entertaining. The romance was well written but it happened too quick for it to be believable for me, but I could just be jaded.

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack, #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jason is the sun of the alpha king of the Wolf Hollow Pack.
Lily is a captured human slave that works in the castle.
“She’s more. Go after her.” Jason’s wolf urges as soon as they come into contact.

This book was exhilerating to read and was way too short for me because I just want to know what happens next!! The turning of the page happened without my notice I was so engrossed in the events that Lily had stumbled into; and before I knew it, I was at 100% read and could no longer continue. This book does contain some triggers of sexual and physical abuse, but it is not overly descriptive nor does it take away from the story.
I really enjoyed the characters of Jason, Lily and their close friends. I’ve read so many shifter novels over the years and the different takes on packs and shifter etiquette fill my mind with so much imagination.  I was not let down with this book as it had everything I was looking for with quite a bit of originality.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love series reads and I love when they get more intricate along the way! The Soul Connections series is getting larger and adding more mysteries and I’m so happy!! 😃 I do not believe the other three books needs to be read in order to comprehend this story since there are well informed snippets of background throughout this book as we follow along with Russ McReady and the new voice in his head. You’ll most likely love the characters so much you’ll end up reading the other three books for insight and sheer desire for another heart felt adventure. It amazes me how wholesome certain people are and how conceptuly twisted others can be.
I had a hard time putting this book down. Reading about how far people go for people they love lightens my spirit. I cannot wait to read about the next problem to solve and learning more about the mysterious Redemption Zone.
