Alterations (Alterations Trilogy, Book 1) by Jane Suen – Review by Michelle Collier

Alterations (Alterations #1)Alterations by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alterations is the first book in the alterations trilogy by Jane Suen. This is the story of three women desperate to change their lives and Dr. Kite who has an implant for the job. I loved this book and it also terrified me. It’s so frightening to think of the things technology can do or will be able to do in the future, and this book takes you to a world where technology can change everything. I got lost in the words of this book and into this world and before I knew it the book was over. Thankfully though there are two more books.

AWAKENING THE GODS by Kristin Gleeson – Review by Michelle Collier

Awakening the Gods (Rise of the Celtic Gods #1)Awakening the Gods by Kristin Gleeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I recently did my DNA and found that I have a large amount of Scottish and Irish so at least that explains my love of this culture. This book by Kristin Gleeson has totally fed into this passion. Saoirse and Smithy both have a deep connection to music around them. That shared link takes them on an unexpected journey. The words just pulled me into the story and the adventure. I can not wait to dive into this world again in the next book.

Taking flight is the second book in the code of honor series. I loved getting to know Holt and Jody. I love the friendships that fill these books. The fact that the hero and each of these books is a service man makes the series all the better. I can’t wait to read the next book.

The Girl and the Raven (The Girl and the Raven series) by Pauline Gruber is a YA paranormal romance. I enjoyed this book so much. Lucy is such a great character, strong and independent.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Regency romances are the stuff of dreams, well at least my dreams. Ladies and gentlemen, Dukes, Earls, and Viscounts, what more could a girl want. For me I want intrigue and courage then a dash chemistry. This is the 2nd book I have read by Wareeze Woodson and it didn’t disappoint. Matt and Isabel are just the right mix to warm your heart.

My rating 5 out of 5

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) By: James Talisman is an extraordinary read. There is no way to catch all the nuances in this book from just one read. There is so much going on through out these pages. Seriously this book has it all: action, adventure, betrayal, love, intrigue. I could go on but instead I will just say I will not only be reading the next book but I will be rereading this book to meditate on all that is revealed in this book.

Rating 5 out of 5

I just finished Tangled Roots by Denise D Young. I think I may have to take a moment and take a deep breath because this was one of the best books I’ve read. The characters are alive and you feel their emotions so strongly. The descriptions in this book just drew me in and I felt like I was living the story not just reading it. Cassie and Nick must both face the past they have been running from. I cannot wait to read the next book!

So this is a spin off to The Blood Dagger trilogy, which I haven’t read…yet. It is now on my TBR list! This book was wonderful. There is nonstop action and the characters are so real and full of secrets. I was in the edge of my seat for most of the book just waiting fir the next twist. I am now on the edge of my seat waiting on the next book!

What a great children’s book! Morning the super bird has such a big heart. When he sees the problem of extinction he doesn’t just sit there and get mad, he gets others involved. This book is a great way to show kids you don’t have to be a grown up to help when they see something wrong in the world. Empowering our children to believe that their actions are important is the first step to changing the world.

My rating is 5 of 5

 

I’ll See You Again is my first book by KG Fetcher. So good! This is book four in the Reigning Hearts series. I didn’t feel like I had missed a thing, although I will be going back and reading the other 3! Nicky and Mac are just so amazing. You can feel the heat and attraction popping off the page. If the great writing wasn’t enough, KG Fletcher is the voice of the book as well. I love listening to audiobooks with a great Scottish accent!

Oh my I really loved this book. This contemporary romance about Leo & Sanaya is breathtaking. It is romantic overload with these two. The reference to Latika’s Theme from Slumdog Millionaire kind of stuck and I ended up listening to it while I read and it pushed me further into the feel of the book. This was my first book by Jim Shomos and it was so good. The words just transported me away!

Rating 5 out of 5

The Earl’s Scandalous Wager is my first book by Wareeze Woodson and I will tell you I was not disappointed. Emily is such a great character. She is put up as a wager in order to cover his debts. Instead of freaking completely out, she watches and learns about her new lot in life. What will become of her? The writing really quickly draws you in and captures your imagination and your heart.

Life’s a witch is book 3 in the New Orleans Nocturnes. I actually have not read the first 2 books. I loved this book so much. It is so funny. The characters are so vivid and real. I will be reading the rest of this series. Crimson is a disaster of a witch and Mike is a hot demon who can make dreams come true, what could go wrong…or right!

As if middle school was not hard enough, finding out you are supernatural can be a lot. This mother and daughter duo have created a wonderful world full of great characters. The Southland Academy for Supernatural Youth may be aimed at younger readers but I did enjoy this book so much I recommended this book to my seventh grade son.

Exhale and Move On AUDIO BOOK by K.L. Shandwick – Review by Michelle Collier 

 

My rating 4 out of 5

 

This is the first book by K. L. Shandwick I have read. This book is extremely well written. The characters are vivid and you find yourself wanting them to find what they have been looking for and need in their life. Love and acceptance of your wants and needs is what most people search for and this book is all about not only others acceptance but of the characters acceptance of themselves. Be careful not to burn yourself from the heat coming off this book.

Rating 5 out of 5

I loved this book! Though it is geared for middle school as the main character is just starting 8th grade, I enjoyed it so very much. Cat is funny and a little all over the place but that is why she is so great. She is trying to figure life out. The story pulls you in no matter your age. You just want to keep reading! I also love that there are recipes at the end of each chapter and they are not the standard recipe you find in a cookbook, they are written so a middle schooler could understand and use the recipe. What a great way to encourage kids to get in the kitchen as well as read!

What an adorable book! My first thought when I read it was wow I need to read this to my grandchildren! Jake is such a relatable character. He worries and is stressed. He leans on a friend to help him through. I also love the extra material included in the book to walk parents (and grandparents) through helping their kids.

My rate is 5 out of 5

Seductive Prey is the first book in the Relentless Series by Vivian Fiano. Jordan and Grant are such great characters because they are real. We have all met people like them that you just can’t help but love and root for them. She is strong and independent. He is brave and protective. The chemistry with these two might just catch the pages on fire. I got lost in the suspense of the story. This was my first book by Vivian Fiano but I promise it will not be my last!

I cannot wait for the next book!

This is Annette Nauraine’s debut romance novel, and if this is what we can expect from her then wow! This book is a historical romance with inspiration from the opera Arabella, that follows Matteo and Zdenka on a journey they never expected. The language in this book paints vivid pictures that explode in your mind’s eye as you read. You are just drawn into the pages of the story. Matteo and Zdenka must overcome pain and fear of the truth coming out in order to find the love that could save them both
