I’m Not Your Difference (Fitz Series Book 4) by Theresa Sederholt

I’m Not Your Difference is the fourth book in the Fitz Series and I absolutely loved reading it. I’m a huge fan of this author and her style of writing along with amazing characters make for a amazing story. This is a story that is intended for 18 + mature readers due to some Violence and Sexual Content. I recommend reading the first three books if you haven’t already as they are just as good as this one us you get back story and learn about the characters. I loved this book and had moments of heartbreak and I was a bit emotional at times. This is a wonderfully written story that is packed with m action, suspense , suspense and a serial killer. I loved that its written in more than one POV. This is a story about Andy and Stephen.. Andy is heart broken over Stephen leaving because he couldn’t handle Stella and her being deaf. Andy figures out a way to deal with all the things and then Stephen realizes he made a mistake. He’s determined to get Abdy and his family back. In the midst of everything going on there’s a serial killer preying on gay men. No worries Fitz is on the case and he’s not going to let them out of his sights. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 4 in Fitz series. I think if you read them from the beginning it will give you a better understanding of the characters and their stories. I haven’t read them in order. It didn’t take anything away from my enjoyment of the story though but I will be going back and reading from the beginning.

This book has it all and deal with some very sensitive subjects, the main one being sexuality and how some people are targeted because of that.The author does this in a way that is respectful and informative which really brings the story to life.
It is full of emotions from happiness and sadness, love and betrayal, danger but underneath it all is family love.
Andy has really got a struggle on his hands. His partner recently left after he couldn’t cope with Andy’s diagnoses of Parkinsons. Leaving Andy to cope on his own with his illness but also their adopted deaf daughter.
Heartbroken Andy pushes forwards always trying to do what’s right for them both.
Just when Andy feels he’s back on track Stephen returns and wants to give it another go. Can he be trusted after last time? Should Andy let him back in or will he end up being hurt all over again.
Add to this drama the fact that there is a serial killer on the loose that is targeting gay men and Andy is in more danger than just getting his heart broken.
Fitz is Andy’s brother in law and he’s a detective. When he is handed the case of numerous men who have passed supposedly at their own hands he realises something isn’t right and its a race against to to stop the killer and potentially save Andy from becoming a victim.

Theresa Sederholt is back with another book for A Fitz Series. This is the fourth book in the series, but i do highly recommend you read the first 3 books before you read this one. You may or may not get a little confused with everything. This author has an amazing way of writing that has you hanging by a thread sitting on the edge of your seat. The way she describes the characters, and the plot of the series is wonderful. I’m able to feel and see everything they are at any moment. I can’t wait the read more of her books in the future.

Fitz has his hand full with this one. The kids are having issues. Andy is talking to Stephen,who is having issues. He has a case to solve. MJ is his rock and partner during it. He is turning into a “dog with the bone.” He is going to solve these problems and work all these puzzles out. There is drama. suspense, mystery, with a dash of romance and intrigue. The storyline pulls you right in. You are going to not want to stop reading. MJ, Andy, Gail and everyone else are so great to work with. They are so realistic that they could people you know. There are plot twist that will get you every time you think you know who did it. What an original series and such a wonderful read. I’m looking forward to more from this author. Highly recommend. I would give it more than a 5 star if I could.

Wow!!!! This has to be my favorite of the Fitz series yet. He has become a P.I. now and is on his own at an agency. Gail has brought him a case from her friend. This case involves a sudden death, mysterious numbers and many secrets. Again, so well-written that the plot with several plot lines and plot twists tie together so smooth that there are no glitches. The characters bitch and fight like they could be your friends. The book is written in a casual tone that it feels good to read. I can feel emotions come off the page. Fitz and his friends and family are pretty amazing at solving these cases. Gail describes Fitz as a ”dog with a bone.” Yep, I would agree. He will find out what’s going on. This is a new author to me and I’m loving this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Intense! Thrilling! This is one of those books you find yourself holding your breath while you’re reading it. Fitz has his hands full this time. He’s supposed to be on a 3-month vacation but gets called in to consult on a case. Well, we all know how that usually ends up. He gets enmeshed in a high-profile case. Little Stella becomes a very important person to him as he tries to unravel this case. The intensity of this case has you wanting to keep turning one more page to find out what’s next. Who did it? I love the plot twists? Oh yeah, and MJ is due with the baby soon, so that’s on his mind during this. Man, his plate is overflowing. Another well-writing knockout story that I loved. The story pulled me in right from the start. The characters are like your friends. They just feel like buddies. The whole tone of the book has a casual feel (for a romantic suspense). It’s perfect and a wonderful book.

What an amazing story! Fitz is an incredible detective hunting down a twisted killer. He is trying to protect MJ, his childhood friend. She is the owner of a BDSM agency that is being targeted. The romance and suspense are intense and full of intrigue. This killer is a sick monster that wants to be caught and is teasing Fitz. The characters are so well=developed that you can honestly feel the emotions coming off them as they are trying to protect MJ and find the sick killer. All MJ wants is to protect her clients and her job. You can feel the pull between the antagonist and the protagonist. I was pulled in right from the start and couldn’t stop until the end. I finished this one in a day. The plot had a good flow and a few plot twists thrown in made it outstanding. What a great book! Romantic suspense lovers will love it.

For 18+ Mature readers as there is violence and sexual content.

I’m Not Your Difference is the fourth book in the wonderful series. Theresa never fails to deliver a story that leaves you wanting more. Make sure to read the previous books in the series before starting this one. It is an amazing story that is full of mystery and intrigue and is as thrilling as it is suspenseful.

This is my favourite from Theresa to date.

There is everything you could want in a good story, danger, murder and a serial killer. This is a very emotionally charged story with passion, love and heartbreak, danger and fear, sadness and redemption, betrayal and hurt, and so many other emotions. The story is written in different points of view which I love and gives the story and the characters more depth. The characters are well written and you will fall in love with them.

I can’t wait to see what Theresa has in store for us next.

Andy Justice is a single dad, trying to teach his daughter, Stella, how to live in a world without labels . . . to love and be loved for who she is. To value family and friends, and always be kind. The lesson may not seem extraordinary, but when you’re a single, gay man, battling Parkinson’s who’s adopted a deaf girl orphaned because her mother was murdered, it has a lot more significance in the meaning. 

These two have become the perfect medicine to heal each other’s heart. Andy just never thought he would be doing this alone. His husband, Stephen, was not on board with raising Stella. Between Andy’s illness and the special circumstances surrounding Stella, it was all too much for him. So . . . he walked away. 

Just when Andy has settled into his new life with Stella and feels ready to give his heart another chance at finding love, Stephen unexpectedly contacts him and asks to meet. Andy agrees, if only to have his say, something he never had the chance to do before. 

When the meeting happens, Andy finally feels the confidence to move on. Stella is his focus now, and even though Stephen will always have a place in his heart, he finds his closure. However, things are completely opposite in Stephen’s world, as seeing Andy only confirms what he’s been afraid to admit all along—he’s made a huge mistake. Now he has to do everything possible to win Andy back, to have the future that was always meant to be. 

While Andy and Stephen are working on whether they will have a future together or not, a serial killer, who is targeting gay men, has other plans for them both. 

There’s only one man who can put all the pieces together in time to save them—Fitzgerald “Fitz” Rodriguez.

If you love Nutella…we’re already friends.

I’m Theresa Sederholt, and I like writing. More than that, I love to tell stories. I write in multiple genres, but my heart, my passion, lies in writing stories that connect to those that have withstood dramatic, personal experiences. I want to bring awareness and understanding by dealing with subject matter that is intimidating to navigate.

On the flip side, I also like to whip up a steamy romance filled with suspense and sprinkled with mystery. Keeping you guessing with a twist here and there makes me happy.

When I’m not writing, I’m cooking with my amazing husband, spoiling my dogs, or enjoying the rolling hills of North Carolina that are my backyard.

Jace has spent his entire life on the run from the Messengers, celestial beings from another realm who hunt his kind: Watchers, the fallen angels responsible for corrupting humanity … Then he meets Cyrus, the handsome Messenger with an easy smile who finally makes him want to stay in one place. The problem? Jace is the last descendant of the first disgraced Watcher, placing him just one rung below demons on the Messengers’ most-wanted list.

But Cyrus isn’t like other Messengers. He came to Sin City—the center of the angelic conflict—seeking peace, not more war. He doesn’t count on falling for the moody, dark-winged Watcher from the wrong side of town. Nor does he count on learning that his true enemy lurks closer than he ever imagined. As tensions rise between the celestial clans, will love or vengeance rule?

Romeo and Juliet gets a celestial spin (and a happier ending!) in this duology featuring forbidden love, a ride-or-die demon, a supernatural casino heist, bar brawls, and banter. Intended for readers ages 18+ and best enjoyed when read in the following order: Watcher (Book 1), Messenger (Book 2).

Note: This book ends on a soft cliffhanger and contains some sensitive content. Readers may wish to check the Author’s Note for details.

The Ghastly GumballThe Ghastly Gumball by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lockwood King is just a young man trying to find his place in the world, he has a steady job as a barista with his best friend, but he still lives with his parents. One day he has been working late and is tired, so when he stops for gas, he decides to grab something to keep him awake, but this plan backfires in the most spectacular way.

All he knows is that the next day strange things start to happen to him with no reasonable explanation, things which appear magical even, but as he is trying to figure out what is going on, something equally magical happens, he meets someone who turns his head. As Lockwood is trying to get a handle on things, he finds out more and more about a magical world he never even knew existed, but it is a world which he might have to get used to.

As things progress there are shifters, there is humour, there are mishaps and mayhem, even a cigar smoking octopus called Clyde who turns up out of the blue. Will Lockwood be able to Kew his sanity as his world changed around him, or will outside forces meddle in his life to such an extent that it isn’t even his anymore? This is a hilariously magical paranormal romance, which will keep you laughing throughout as the chaos reigns and mayhem ensues with curses, maybe fated mates and inconvenient tentacles?

Magic, Romance, and Shifters – OH MY!

This is a zany, wacky story about a guy named Lockwood King.

There’s magic.

There’s humor.

There’s chaos.

There’s meddling by outside forces (but it’s for their own good – really, it is).

There’s sort of fated mates (fate gets a little push – okay, a big shove, but everyone deserves an HEA, right)?

There’s a bit of cursing (the magic and the swearing kind).

There’s inconvenient tentacle wrestling. (Don’t ask me, I just write what the characters tell me to).

And speaking of tentacles, did I mention the cigar-smoking octopus named Clyde?

If you don’t like absurdly unbelievable tales and magical mishaps, this probably isn’t the book for you. You’ve been warned.

Wow. This was incredibly written. It was one of my first m/m fantasy reads and it did not disappoint at all. Everything was so detailed and pieced together so beautifully. From the cultural perspective of Archeron , an outcast shifter typer, because of his calling to usher the dead. Errapel is so wonderful and I just fell in love with them both so much. They came from two separate worlds but their hearts called them to each other despite what the laws and people said. Oh my word this was amazing and definitely needed more.

Fate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie is a M/M / Paranormal Romance that I absolutely loved reading. I was pulled in from the beginning and even though it’s a very short read I couldn’t put it down. I’m a huge fan of this author and her style of writing simply amazes me. This is a short story about Acheron who is a vulture shifter and he cares for the souls of the dead . Then there’s Errapel and he nurses the souls head to death. But because of the law Acheron is not allowed to take a mate. Will that be enough to keep them apart? Find out what happens next. I want more ,more ,more. I have so many questions that need answers so I’m praying there is more to come and this was just a little teaser. I highly recommend reading this wonderfully written short story by a wonderful author.

While this story might be short it packs a lot into its few pages. While some people would think that you can’t have a big impact story with a short novella, they would be wrong. This story was beautifully crafted full of some Egyptian mythology, shifters, romance, emotions and so much more this novella really packs a punch. The characters are beautifully detailed and the story so intriguing you won’t want it to end. While this is my first read by this author I can honestly say I will be looking for more. So if your looking for a fantastic short novella for this week, make sure you pick up this one today.

Kharon is known as the city of the dead and this is for good reason, it is where the dying go to live out their last days and be prepared for the afterlife by the shifters who live there, they are the jackals and the vultures and they are the ones who tend to the dead and dying. The High Priest is in charge of the temple and is the one who deals with the final requests and hands out the dying to their caretakers, today Acheron, a vulture shifter is going to meet with him, he has been feeling extremely restless of late and the time off he has been given hasn’t helped, so as he makes his way to the office, he is wondering if he has done something wrong. When he arrives, he finds that he has not done anything wrong, but he has been given an important job, however, to complete it, he has to leave Kharon and travel to the city of Mandara, this is forbidden because of ancestral laws and the fact that because he touches the dead, he is not welcomed with open arms, but despite the danger Acheron accepts the request and prepares to leave.

Thankfully, the journey is completed at night and therefore is less dangerous for Acheron, however, when he arrives, he is greeted by the nurse looking after his client, Errapel, but Acheron is shocked when he isn’t met with disgust and tolerance, but instead with kindness and compassion, this continues when he meets the person he will aid to the other side. Acheron cannot deny that he feels a pull towards Errapel, however, his kind are also forbidden from taking a mate, so when he realises that Errapel might be his, he does not know what to do, will Acheron and Errapel be able to defy ancient laws, or will this forbidden life be taken away from them before they can even enjoy it? This is a shifter romance with an edge of danger which you will not be able to put down, as hope and wariness war in the emotions of a shunned shifter stuck in place by societal values.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read a lot of books. I write a fair number of reviews. This title gets a solid 5/5 for me. The scene in which they send Carissa off had me welling up. To provoke a physical response is a statement. One of the highest I know that I’m willing to admit to as a reader. Very few books insight physical emotion from me, so bravo.

The overall world was well incepted, and the characters were well written. I found the story relatable, which is impressive seeing the setting of this story and our own human experience here on Earth are vastly different.

Or are they? I found a kinship in the idea of going against the grain and doing things differently. In disrupting what is expected and taking a personal hit to break the rules that need to be broken, for the greater good. And not the typical greater (mostly) good. The real, nitty gritty, underbelly of it all. Actual, pure, and honest- good. The first drop in the bucket. The first seed(s) to be planted. I’m not sure if that’s where this story is going but I’ll say this, I’m hooked. Can’t wait to see what direction this goes and where we eventually end up.

That being said, this isn’t a story for children. I was caught off guard by the erotic scenes depicted toward the end. It was a pleasant surprise for me but may not be so welcomed in other circles. Your loss.

So, to wrap it up neatly, this was a great story. My only complaint is that it wasn’t long enough to satiate the appetite it invoked. I’ll keep an eye out for more titles from this author both past and future. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed this novel. I like reading love stories especially when it involves supernatural beings and alternative love. I also loved the fact that the novel was about individuals who are not accepted by society finding acceptance and love. I think a lot of people can relate. All of us who feel we don’t fit or are not accepted in society can read this novel and find hope. No matter how much you feel that you don’t fit, there is someone out there that will accept you warts and all.

After his service is complete he is returning to his homeland where he is blocked. What a wonderful short fast paced story. It shows the love does not discriminate against anyone.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I decided to read this book because I have read some of the authors other works. The authors concepts are very unique and very interesting.

This book is about a vulture shifter, named Acheron, who goes into the city to tend to a dying patient. Vulture shifters are forbidden to enter the city or have a mate because they are considered ‘unclean’ since they deal with death. When Acheron gets to the patients home he meets a hare shifter, named Errapel, who is the nurse tending to the dying patient. Instantly there is what seems to be a mate bond. Acheron fights it since it is forbidden. As time goes on, the bond gets stronger. Does Acheron fight the bond or does he accept it and get ready to fight the world? Read to find out!

The reason why I am only giving this book 3 stars is because this book feels rushed. The concept is great but there is no depth. It moved way too fast and then it was just over. The author seemed to be setting up a big fight but then it never happened.

A Five-star read that packs a punch in just a few pages. This surprised me with how quickly I was hooked and finished, I was sucked in and will be picking this up again, its quick but powerful. I must give the author a special hand, as they always bring something special to their writing, the research that must go in, as I always feel like I have enjoyed their stories, but I also feel like I have had a breath of fresh air, there is always something in the stories that make me think. Do not miss this story, even if M/M fiction isn’t your cup of tea, don’t miss this amazing story and author.

I seriously could not stop turning these pages! This story was far too short, and I could have kept reading for another 500 pages, I’m sure. That being said, even though this is a shorter read, it is not lacking in any area! This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I am certainly not disappointed. In this paranormal romance, we have Acheron, a vulture shape-shifter, and Errapel, a hare shape-shifter. These two have been put together by fate, but they are not supposed to be. I was totally enthralled by this author’s writing and am so glad I jumped into this book. 5 stars!

This was a pretty damn cute story. It’s a really good read and despite the short length it still made me emotional! I really enjoyed Acheron’s (also I’m OBSESSED with this name- and Kharon) character and reading from his perspective. My favorite character might have been the battiest of them all.This was my first read from this author and I’m pumped to read more. (: I’m a sucker for shifter romance and this was definitely satisfying! I’m really hoping the author turns this into a series- I definitely think there’s support and interest in it. Onto the next yall 💖
