Dead Sound (Things Unseen, #1)Dead Sound by Anise Eden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

this is an extremely well written slow burn romance plus action packed Thriller.

you will be hooked from the first chapter as you get to know these characters and when a very odd presentation of seemingly unconnected people show up in the psych ward you can’t put it down as you have to know.

sink into the possibility of divine intervention, how everyone can be manipulated in one way or another.

this book opens the possibilities in your brain of things that seem Paranormal but are presented in such a way that makes you stop and think about what is going on around you in the real world.

fantastically done can’t wait to read another by this author.

Fate, Frankincense & FuneralsFate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

this is a great MM Romance story and it takes you on a quick and fast ride through denying true love and honoring someone’s death.

the story I feel lacked some “meat and bones” as it was so fast I was left wondering why this character was so intent about refusing his natural mate and what in his life and community and society had shaped him in such a way. the book touches on it but not enough.

however their natural connection finally is explored in the end and though it was quick I fell in love with the characters quickly and was intrigued with the death rituals of this society.

Scarlet Princess (Lochlann Feuds Book 1) by Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by Melissa Saxton
5/5 stars!
Ready to fall in love with a character? Rowan is a feisty, witty, no nonsense princess who cannot stay out of trouble and feels rules are made to be broken, but one reckless adventure leads her and her cousin in enemy territory.
Rowan will question everything she knows as she tries to get out of the mess she’s in. her inner sparky dialog is delightful as she wades through emotions, realization, smoldering affection she didn’t expect with the enemy.

the cliffhanger leaves you breathless and ready for more. fans of fantasy adventure and strong female story leads will love this book!

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journey’s Through Book 1) by James Talisman Review by Melissa Saxton.

An amazing Sci-Fi and Fantasy Journey awaits as you transverse the Multiverse theory. A strange and mysterious voice visits multiple individuals from multiple universes with the same mysterious message. The message is cryptic, but they all have to find out what it means for them and how they are all connected to combat a evil force.

This book is an art form in how the characters are developed, giving you all the details necessary to both fall in love with characters, or have strong feelings of dislike in only short passages as you learn every characters backstory and how they tie into this journey.

Tying together all of these individuals stories is masterful, and kept me hooked and wanting to learn more. The book is definitely complex, and you will find yourself deep into the story with time passing quickly as you devour this story. Fans of science fiction, fantasy, dystopian societies, will all enjoy this story as it completely bends your basic understanding of the universe.

I was immediately looking for book 2 as soon as I finished the last page!

Journeys Through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) by James Talisman – Review by Melissa Saxton

Breathless and thrilling are the best terms to use to describe this 2nd installment to the Journeys series. This could be read alone but reading book one helped me better understand the characters.

Book two brings you through past present and future on a wild ride of surprises I found myself muttering “omg” out loud while reading. You will explore the multiverse theory in more depth and detail. You spend time getting to know the trio of college students from the first book and you will really love the tie into Atlantis! You will follow them learning time travel and journey to find ancient treasures. meanwhile a reptilian commander has his own plans and needs he will ruthlessly work to obtain.
Mr Talisman brilliantly ties together each universe frequently flipping between characters as you read yet you never feel lost, or confused about what part of the story you are in or where you are reading about. you are fully engaged flipping pages to see what happens next!

This series truly has made me look at the world around me and its connections in a different way. I absolutely cannot wait for the 3rd installment and this is a MUST READ for any Sci fi lover out there! fair warning you will get lost in this series and lose track of time because you will not want to put it down!

Return to Alpha by Wesley Britton – Review by Melissa Saxton
it’s 2040, the world has been decimated by plague after plague and every part of the world is out for themselves….until a spaceship lands with aliens turning earth upside down.
from your first introduction to the characters you know you are about to see the worst earth has to offer be thrown at these “alien” visitors. what you don’t expect is mistrust, fear, longing, traitors and love bloom inside this action packed story. as their adventure unfolds you find yourself page turning frantically to see if they make it safely out of a post apocalyptic world run by power and greed. can star crossed lovers prevail? can lies be forgiven? can different worlds and beliefs combine?
when you finish their journey your immediate hope is there will be more to come in this tale as you are left wanting to know if these characters can prevail.
