Such a cute story about perseverance, compassion, believing in yourself. Imagination and so much more. My daughter who is 6 loved it
In order to understand this book, you must read the prior 3 but I promise it’s worth it. Titania’s “death” has protected her realm from Sonia…or so she hopes This leaves Titania to hide in the dark, in the shadows in a simple cabin in the woods. However Titania has never been one to sit idly by when her people need her and the simple life is just not giving her the stimulation she needs even with Foster intermittently at her side. When earthquakes break out and fae start losing their livelihoods Titania can’t resist and starts heading to help in a disguise, but her secret won’t remain a secret forever and Foster is desperate to protect her. Can Titania save her realm from Sonia and the chaos she brings? Is she ever going to be satisfied with the simple life Foster wants with her, or is that going to come crashing down as she’s unable to control her impulse to help.
Such a great series I enjoyed immensely and worth every moment of reading.

In this story Buddy is different than his siblings because he’s blue and they are tan. He thought nothing of it until the time came for adoption. He became sad and feared he’d never be adopted.

Oh my now here’s a story to keep you up at night. The government controls everything….including your soul is now an asset. The gods have cursed earth and now humans exist with half souls or worse no souls in a caste system the government controls. If they want a full soul they have to find their other soul half, however its possible they havent or wont ever even be born in their lifetime. They are in caste tiers with chips implanted at birth and it controls everything about them and allows the government knowledge of everything everyone does and where they are. What’s worse even if you have rations (or cash still accepted) businesses can kick you out based on where you are ranked in a very corrupt system. We meet Ebony who never wanted to find her soul mate, she only wanted her soul sister especially on her first meeting of a soul hunter Lark only seems to cement she doesnt want her soulhalf, but Lark cant shake Ebony and reconsiders helping her and the search for her soulhalf opens up so many questions, danger and corruption neither never knew existed, and I won’t ruin it for you but the question of the bond between soul mates being enough to overcome all is the leading question you’ll stay up reading wanting to answer. This story is multi pov and is extremely well done dystopian story that has characters so well written you immediately fall in love with them and never want to leave the story. This is a can’t miss!!!

However there is so much more to Ian’s Story as you meet the characters surrounding him and journey into a deep dark tunnel of secrets of his birth, his heritage and all the lies and manipulation that have plagued his entire existence.
This is the first book of a series exploring multiple races at war with one another for the same reason… its all about control. it begs the question can the races find a way to get along

This was a thrilling conclusion with a bittersweet but very circular and appropriate ending that left me sad this series was over as i became attarched to the characters. A fantastic read with Brilliantly done characters, twisting and turning plot with vivid imagination and descriptions. So well done.

A pharmaceutical entity hears about the immortal men and of course wants to get involved. Along with that team is a renowned geneticist Dr shaw.

What a fantastic read this story was. It captivated me immediately and had to know more. The book followed a well written time line that made sense and the relationships were also done quite well. Andrea worked her entire life to find the lost city of Atlantis. Her interest came from a book she found in the library. She works hard, goes to school and ends up being indispensable. Atlantis was finally found and they did find what they were looking for. Who was going to go through this door unknowing who or what might be on the other side. The government crew she’s with has no idea if anyone would survive going through but Andrea volunteers.
She reaches Atlantis only to find she might be a 40 year old woman on earth but here she’s seems to age in reverse. She finds that this society is ravaged after brutal wars and biological weapons which has taken them back to simpler times. Andrea put her heart into being here and she trained and won the hearts as many as her skills were impeccable. She meets Marcus (who is Lydia’s (the queens) slave but she never keeps one more than 3 months, Andrea feels a spark like nothing she can understand, they become closer with tryst in the woods. However since hes the prize for the upcoming fights, she knows she was to win In the midst of this is Jonne who’s a uncooperative slave. Andrea manages to pull personality from him and find him intelligent and sexy in a way that is opposite to Marcus and Andrea feels she needs both of them to make her whole. Lots of drama, steamy(but not overly done) and a great touch on the lost city of atlantis

Another well done Sci fi romance to add to your library! Moira is concerned when her free spirited twin sister yet again falls off the radar while in the mountain town of Allenville but Moira has a gut feeling this time feels different so she heads there to find her. On her arrival this town looks like a normal small mountain town but something feels different and she can’t put her finger on it. She meets the police chief Seth who she also finds gorgeous but evasive and she knows he’s hiding something, but their chemistry is undeniable. She continues searching while Seth is keeping a secret and protecting two sides of very different species and trying to keep the peace. As secrets unfold and mutilated bodies show up what will Moira find and can her interest and easy friendship with Seth survive as she learns the truth. Will she find her sister or was she too late? And what on earth (or perhaps not of earth!) Is going on in this town. The multi pov of this story really gives it depth and I encourage any Sci fi lover to check this one out!

Frelick – Review by Melissa Saxton
This is book two of a fantasy romance. This story involves lady Claire and her love Trian Lady Claire has a unique ability of being able to tell the future of others. These vision episodes are triggered by touching other people and sometimes land her passed out on the floor which is rather embarrassing for her family so she wasn’t often in court and was stressed the entire time she was. She is looking forward to finally going home after supporting her sister when she ends up kidnapped as they thought she was her sister. Caught in a foreign country and trying to get free her kidnappers realize her abilities and seek to use them to their own advantage. Claire must overcome so many things and stand up, be strong, overcome plots and intrigue and outsmart everyone around her so she can get free and back to the one she loves. Claire really grows as a character in this story and makes her a heroine you can’t help but fall in love with. This book is well done with intricate details, well developed characters and a heroine to root for. I definitely stayed up late reading this one!!

Kelleher – Review by Melissa Saxton
In book 2 of this series lily finally is free of homeschooling and the incessant foreboding her mother is always selling her about the world and for the first time she can truly enjoy the world around her in college. Sure enough she meets an electrifying man named George, but George has his own hangups after his big love passed away and he’s torn up about it even pushing away lily’s advances repeated when he can feel the intense spark between them. Bring in a funny and completely inexperienced bumbling fairy godmother and a full of himself guardian angel to help these two soul mates (lily and george) finally get together and you’re in for a great of romance, and comedy of the behind the scene influences. This book is just as good as the first one and I loved it.

I’ve never read the story of Gilgamesh so I wasn’t sure what to expect but this was a great story. Gilgamesh is a story about a part mortal part God who lives in a city with a palace and wives and many children, he leads a army who is strong and capable and feared by many. This however is not enough and Gilgamesh is set on leaving a legacy for all to remember and cant seem to find happiness with what he already has. The gods want him to find happiness and balance so Enkidu was made to be Gilgameshs other half. Enkidu was raised by wolves has no want of a legacy of his own only to fulfill his purpose. The moment when Gilgamesh and Enkidu touch is the moment a beautiful passionate relationship is born. The lead up to develop these two characters is definitely a slow burn and is not for everyone, but the character development was excellent. This story has several different relationship themes including mm mf ff and there are a few trigger warnings that should be heeded. There’s also several definitions in the beginning that are helpful to check prior to reading.

Very well done kept me hooked the entire time! Well worth a read!

Follow the story or Dinopotamus who goes to school! He is nervous as he looks different and is a different size. He watches what the other kids do and does what they do. Sometimes he can’t always do the same things due to his size but finds he has fun anyway. My 6 year old enjoyed reading this along with me, it was a great lesson about inclusion even when someone looks different. Also the illustrations were done in crayon which I actually found charming. Well done!

Drag has spent 12 years without his old life, his arm, his home and the love of his life to Moag at the Mars Racing Championship. Somehow he finds himself back at this very same race 12 years later determined to win.
The night before the big race his past comes back to haunt him and its Bridget asking for a favor to release her from the trap she’s found herself in. She’s managed to dodge Moags proposals but he’s becoming impatient and she’s becoming desperate. Unfortunately for Bridget Drag does still love her but she has a reputation of taking what she wants when she wants and he’s protecting his heart from further damage of the Bridget kind.
She needs proof of Moags trechery and she needs Drag to provide the cover she needs to find it to be able to escape Moag, who has become her prison and well known as the sponsor who ruined Drag and Bridget’s future.
Will they work together to get the proof she needs to reset the loss they’ve shared and can Drag let go of the heartbreak she’s caused and fall again? Can they let go of the past and trust one another to work together and turn everything upside down again , hopefully in their favor this time? Who wins this battle Moag or Drag & Bridget? This was a good read I read this without the previous books and had no trouble and the cybernetic science in the book was actually quite engaging. A def must read for the Sci fi community!

Ten author’s in this one so I had to check it out and I wasn’t disappointed This book is a little slow to start but it’s to allow you to.understand the characters Aeris is an inquisitive fae and she’s very curious about humans and the lives they live. She sneaks regularly into the human world with a glamor so no one can see her, that is until she literally runs into Callum who terrifies Aeris as he can see her! Callum is your standard detective and is blown away by the beauty of Aeris when he sees her the first time. She runs away and he searches to no avail. He finally goes into a meeting to learn about a bust location and while driving he drops his phone only to hit a pedestrian. When he comes around the corner of his car there she is! The chemistry in between them is electric and can’t be denied. Aeris comes back and decides to tell Callum that she’s fae but a bad storm comes and pulls Aeris home a surefire skill of her father If Callum can see her he must not only be human, but if he’s not human what is he and what does it mean. How does he fit into this world of fae and why id Aeris so inexplicably drawn to Callum. And what of the fae? She’s broken ancient laws and rules will she suffer consequences never to see callum again? What they dont realize their meeting has set off a series of events that has waited for generations to come to fruituin Ancient prophecy, Romance , politics, fighting for love, so much to unpack in this story and it was very well done

Another great adventure for Loretta this time in the world of fireflies. An education takes place inside this story about fireflies that every young kid will enjoy! There is beautiful watercolor illustration in this story that really makes it come full circle. A must read for elementary school kids! My 5 year old loved it!!
This book takes you on a rhyming adventure of what to do if you think you want a dog, what kind of dog might fit in your life, what you need to prepare if you have decided to adopt one and what kinds of things you’ll need to do (early vet visits, potty training, making your home safe and dog friendly and so much more!)
This is written in a cute rhyming song like style that kept my 5 year old engaged and she could guess some words coming thanks to the rhyming. She also enjoyed all the different dogs and pictures! Well done!

Payden has returned from a long and dangerous trip to his homeland, but he’s absolutely broken from all that transpired during his fight for his lands and title. He had to do things he wasn’t proud of to win and he doesn’t know how to move on. He remains just a ghost of himself until he meets Clarice, who is like a bright light inside a dark tunnel. Not only does she light up his life, but she doesn’t care about marriage and wants to live an independent life before meeting Payden, but she finds herself undeniably drawn to him. She immediately breathes life into Payden and he causes her to rethink the life she thought she wanted. They quickly start falling in love but it won’t be an easy street to be together. Much drama, angst, and complications will arise and will they be able to overcome it all to be together? Can Clarice heal Payden’s tortured soul? This is a wonderfully done historical romance with so much detail and so artfully written. I didn’t read the other 4 books in the series but j never felt lost!

Ember, a “Mage” or so she thinks lives in 100 acers of woods and a cabin gifted to her as her parents want nothing to do with her as shes seen as an embarrassment. In those woods she tends to hybrid shifters who have been injured by a world who sees the hybrids as a threat. Unfortunately her peaceful life is shattered when magical stones turn up and people start hunting her saying her blood is the cure to their curse. Along the way she meets a prince who wants to change everything and several shifters who want to mate her but are also confused by her as she doesn’t smell like a mage and she certainly has more powers than meets the eye Unable to say much more as it would involve spoilers but this is a wonderful reverse harem Paranormal shifter with vivid details a mastery of the Paranormal while still making you able to connect to the characters. Happy reading!

What a great book! Xenobia (aka Xen) has moves to earth about 7 years ago to escape her past and start over. She however has many secrets and skills that the people on earth do nor have and would be either scared of or try to take advantage her powers so she keeps them her most guarded secret except from her “family” on earth. Unfortunately one decision may change everything and she may find she has to expose her special powers to save her family. This book is multi pov and the chapters are quick and the POV changes regularly. Lots of Paranormal activity including wolf vampire and much more and so much attention to detail and character building made this story shine. Well done
