Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2)Hang On To Your Shirt Tails by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2) by C.A. King was a great continuation on this well created world. I would give this book a five out of five stars. The fight is not over and as Brodie and Tails continue to struggle in a world that hates them you can really see that. I have read a few books by CA King now and something she does so well is weave life lessons into her stories in dark and beautiful ways. This was a great quick read and I cannot wait to see what happens next!

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection by Gwyn McNamee writing as D.P. Payne – Review by Mirela Ruiz

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd Box SetSupernatural Love Stories in the Absurd Box Set by D.P. Payne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection by Gwyn McNamee writing as D.P. Payne was a completely unexpected read. I would definitely give this series a four out of five stars. There are four different stories in this book and each one less expected than than the last. The consistency in the tone and steam factor definitely keep you turning pages. The tone comes off as redemption and the plot centers on learning and growing. The steam factor is off the scale, if you are looking for a hot read here they are!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Matt’s Swirly World: Children’s Book by Madeleine Matthews was a cute and quick read with my son. I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. It was well illustrated and it was a book I could see myself pulling out again and again. My son loved to look at the pictures and help me scroll and count. While at 1.5 years old he will not get the lesson, I hope over time he will learn to see new drops of wisdom.

Run from Love: A Bowser Belles Sweet Contemporary RomanceRun from Love: A Bowser Belles Sweet Contemporary Romance by Teddy Cat Hester
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Run from Love (Bowser Belles Book 2) by Teddy Cat Hester was a super romantic read. I would give this book a four out of five stars. I enjoyed the writing style and found myself reading page after page. I had my cringe reactions where I might as well have been reading between my fingers. I mean that in the best way possible. I love when a romance can get that kind of reaction out of me it means the characters are relatable. I liked Scarlett and Nick’s story, they had a good dynamic. I loved that Scarlett has an up front and honest personality. Nick kind of rubbed me the wrong way but I did warm up to him eventually.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Fisher Men On the X (Fisher Men Book III) by Rebel Nicks O’Dey was impossibly to put down! I would give this book a five out of five stars. After reading the second book I just had to jump in and see what else could happen in this universe. I have to say this book took me on a journey I did not expect and I could not put the book down. I did not expect to feel as much as I did for these two characters. I enjoyed the plot immensely and I feel like I would be rereading this book multiple times in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Higher Elevation Series: Books 1-3 by Renee Regent was a very mysterious supernatural read. I would give this three book series a five out of five stars. I found myself starting this series without knowing anything about the series or the author. I was very shortly hooked on the characters, the plot, and the pacing of the story. I loved the variety of characters and their individual stories. Throughout the three book series you meet a lot of people and they are so unique that you can easily separate one voice from another. The story and plot really pull you in, I was in from the first chapter and could not wait to figure out what happened next. The pacing is fantastic and really helped build the story in an addicting. I loved the book set because it made it so easy to just start the next part without having to wait.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Drawing Strength From Words by CA King was a fun read. I would give this book a four out of five stars. This is the second book in the series. I love Gabby!

I loved the air of mystery and being able to put the plot together as I go.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Battling Becklett by T Christiansen was a captivating forbidden step brother romance. I would give this book a four out of five stars. I really loved Greer’s character and could relate to her. She has this quiet introversion that is so genuine that she seems to capture everyone’s attention. I found Beckett mildly annoying with his stereotypical jock bad boy. What redeems him is an understanding of what makes such a young man so jadee. I really enjoyed the pace and struggled to put the book down.

Elemental Fae Academy by Lexi Foss and J.R Thorn was a fun paranormal read! I would give this book a four out of five stars. I loved the world building, the authors did a great job creating the world without being overly detailed. The information you find out comes at a good pace as well, which just makes the whole story flow. Claire’s world was rocked based on a dare and her character slowly acclimates to her new reality. I love the idea of a reverse harem and am always looking for one that also has a really good story and this book met that goal.

Flower Shields by C.A King was a fun and great read. I would give this book a five out of five stars. I loved Tara’s character, she is down on her luck and needed something to work out. I really was rooting for her from the first page. I was interested in the back story that was presented, I really liked C.A King’s twist. I enjoy God, Demigod, Angels, and Demons paranormal stories and those characters really came off of the page for this one.

A part of me enjoyed the misunderstanding because it just highlights that the media focuses on the story they want to sell. I enjoyed the unexpected twists and turns throughout the book. Stanley was my favorite character, I could not put the book down because of him.

The Time Traveler’s Magic by Anna Applegate was truly a captivating read. I would give this book a four out of five stars. I loved how the book started, it really did a great job of building the world and Ember’s character. A lot of mysteries start to pile on and as the reader you find yourself asking the same questions that Ember does. I really struggled to put this book down because of my curiosity surrounding Ember, Rane, and the whole situation we find ourselves in. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shameless by Sherry Burton was a great extension of the first Orphan Train Saga. I would give this book a five out of five stars. I truly enjoy this series, there is something wonderful about Cindy and Linda reliving all of these stories. I did not know if I would be ready for Tobias’s story when the book started but I found myself hanging onto every word. I had a lot of the same thoughts that Cindy and Linda had as I was reading. The story flows really well and is easy to follow, the hard part is just dealing with the situations. I cannot wait to read the rest of the stories.
