My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My daughter and I absolutely loved reading this book together. She loved the storyline and thought Gwendolyn was a sweet girl that she related to. Gwendolyn being a dream shifter, dreams about an elk one night and when she wakes up from her dream she is still an Elk! During hunting season no less! You follow Gwendolyn through her missteps, and she learns how to control her power, but the magician isn’t very helpful at some times. Does Gwendolyn become a girl again or does she have to remain the rest of her life as an elk?! The story was well written and my daughter who is 10 could read it with no problem, and enjoyed it immensely! I recommend it to young girls who love fairytales and a strong protagonist!

Hot for Teacher by Felicia Carparelli – Review by Beverly Finnie

Hot for Teacher - Shakespeare Made Us Fall in LoveHot for Teacher – Shakespeare Made Us Fall in Love by Felicia Carparelli
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hot for Teacher was good, but it caught me off guard. Student/teacher romances are a guilty pleasure for me. So when I decided to read this book I went strictly from the title and didn’t read the summary. It was different then other student/teacher romances I’ve read in the past. The author did a wonderful job pulling it together. The main female character frustrated me some and I wasn’t a fan of how the main male character’s intelligence was projected but besides that I enjoyed it.
Juliet is a literature teacher at the local college and one of those classes she teaches is a night class. (Anyone who has taken a night class knows the age range of the students is all over the place.) Little did she suspect a man would catch her eye. One who wasn’t a typical student, but a man who is seasoned.
James went back to school at the urging of his adult sons. Taking a night literature class, since he has his business to run during the day. Never did he expect to be attracted to his teacher. His first assignment is to read the first so many pages of Romeo & Juliet. He promises her he intends to read the whole thing.
This story is their roller coaster of interaction. Juliet’s stubbornness, especially while James tries to court her. Using Romeo and Juliet for inspiration, they quote different passages to each other.
Does James win the lady?
What happens when Juliet’s life is in danger, does James come to her rescue?
There’s also a conclusion that almost made me sad/mad. All was right in the end.
It’s a Student/Teacher romance though different is worth picking up.

This short story was interesting to me… I felt like I was missing something, I didn’t realize it was just a short story and I couldn’t believe how intense it was. I loved the ending. Honestly, I think it could use a little work, by this I mean, with a little work this could be a full blown insanely good novel! But for a short story it was still pretty good.

Bycatch by Alexander Blevens – Review by Mandy Ott

BycatchBycatch by Alexander Blevens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bycatch took me by complete surprise! There is so much depth and thought in the story that I am absolutely amazed! Alexander Blevens delivers with substantial, realistic, multi-level characters. I could almost hear the accent of Jake and Pigeon, feel the anger and confusion of Rex and Dung, and feel the tension between the Mississippi and Vietnamese fishermen. Blevens also uses amazing storytelling in the back and forth accounts of two men unwillingly thrown across each other’s paths in the midst of the war in Vietnam, and how their pasts collide later in life in the shrimping community in Mississippi. I could hear the bombs exploding in Vietnam, I could smell the strong seafood odor of the coast, and hear the rumbling motors of the shrimping boats.
Bycatch and Alexander Blevens are two new favorites on my list!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to say that I wasn’t expecting the way this book was. It made me keep reading because I really needed to know what was going on with this little girl. It’s like charlotte’s web meets the thing, just no pigs. This book is from the missy’s point of view, who is a 5-year-old little girl. At first you wonder if she has a very over imaginative imagination, but when unexpected “accidents happen, missy desperately tries to make it right. This book was filled with horror, suspense, murder, tragedy, vivid detail, amazing writing, creepy vibes, that I couldn’t put it down. If you would like to have a few nightmares for a few days, love horror and spiders this book is for you. I absolutely loved this book. And the edge of the seat terror it brought that I couldn’t put it down.

Defiant Princess (Mafia Elite Series Prequel) by Amy McKinley – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Defiant Princess (Mafia Elite Prequel)Defiant Princess by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the Mafia Elite series, so this prequel seemed like a great chance to get more of the characters and writing that I enjoy so much! I feel like Defiant Princess is more intended as an entry point into the series for new readers than an extension of the story for those who have already read the series. Most of the backstory won’t be new if you’re caught up on the series, and there won’t be many surprises. But it’s still fun to get to see the characters when they’re a bit younger!
So I’d say this is for readers who think you might enjoy the series and would like a taster before you commit. It’s a chance to get to know loads of the main characters and some of their key motivators in a shorter novella before you jump into the series. With the Mafia Elite series now available in two convenient box sets, this could be a great way to sample the series before getting the first set.
This book gets four stars from me. I’d recommend it to newcomers to the series who want to see if it’s for them – if you like romance, action and intrigue I’m sure you’ll love Mafia Elite!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.75 stars

I have read quite a few Lois Wickstrom books lately and she has become one of my favorite authors! Most of the books I’ve read by her were for the younger group but this one is more geared for 7-12 year olds. It’s the perfect length for this age group and the story is very engaging!

Gwendolyn has a special inherited trait from her grandmother. When Gwendolyn falls asleep, she becomes a dream-shifter. If she dreams about elk, she becomes one with the elk. Most of the time, she wakes up as a human girl but one night, there is a fire alarm at her home. She’s awakened suddenly to find her home on fire. Being awakened so quickly, Gwendolyn did not have time to revert back to her human form and is now stuck as an elk. She only has 3 months to fix this or she will be an elk permanently. Desperate for answers, Gwendolyn and her family start searching for any answers that might help them out, including finding the local wizard. Can she survive elk season and become the girl she was?

This book focuses on acceptance, love, and science, of which Lois Wickstrom puts into all the books she writes. It makes science more fun and interesting and this time, with a bit of a magical spin. I look forward to reading more of these longer novels by one of my favorite authors!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Glass Houses is a quick little spooky novella. It is a quick read, able to be read within an hour. We are met with the main couple who you can immediately tell are having marital issues. It is slightly confusing and did take me a second to put all the points together. But once you do your mind will go “OH MY GOODNESS”. This was a well put together story and if you’re looking for something quick and spooky, look no further.

I picked up this book as soon as I saw the cover and after reading the synopsis, I KNEW I had found a good one! I’m beyond excited that I didn’t miss out on this and hope to see much more from this author.

While normally people think of imaginary friends as cute and ordinary, 5-year-old Missy is about to flip your world upside down. She has a wonderful imaginary friend named Fred, and he likes to be perked on her shoulder. Did I mention Fred is a spider?! Missy sees spiders everywhere and while this would creep me out, her parents seem to think it’s just a phase. But when people start dying in mysterious circumstances, is Missy or Fred to blame?

I could NOT read this book fast enough! I plowed through it with minimal pauses, and I highly recommend picking this up. Full of creepy crawlies, horror, and plenty of action, you won’t be able to put it down!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVE a good wholesome Christmas story and this one did not disappoint! The pandemic was a tough time for Carina. She faced many challenges and is working on learning to overcome and live her new normal. When a friend offers his cabin to her for a Christmas family getaway, she dreams of what that may be like. When her grown kids sound like they won’t make it for the holiday, Carina finds herself wondering if she could make the trip alone and what that may look like.

I was glad to see a post-pandemic world reflected in a story. Humanity as a whole experienced a big shift in everyday life. We experienced, love and loss and we are still recovering. This was a wonderful story of self-discovery, self-growth, and reflection as Carina’s story progressed. No matter what you experienced during the pandemic, you can relate. I found myself fully enveloped by the winter wonderland and it was magical. Carina is surrounded by a melting pot of supporting characters that perfectly shape her world. This was a beautiful journey that I was pleased to take alongside Carina.

Mis-Spelled is the first book in The Stellaluna Chronicles and is a YA Fantasy that is packed with action, adventure, drama , magic, humor and much , much more.

This is a new to me author but I definitely look forward to reading more from him. This authors style of writing along with pretty amazing characters make for a fun quest. This is about Evan and the obstacles he faces while on a quest. There’s a bit of humor and self realizations along the way. I highly recommend reading this fun book to find out what happens next.

Pardon Me, PleasePardon Me, Please by Lois Wickstrom

What a beautiful story this is. And the lesson it tells made me so happy. As an animal lover I fell in love with this book. If only all turkeys had the ending this one did getting sent to a Pardon Park. I thought that the idea of the family making the decision together after voting was a terrific addition to add because you do not see many families doing that. So technically this story teaches not only of how turkeys are pardoned by our President but also about voting to get a consensus. I loved the illustrations! They were probably some of the best that I have seen from her books. That could be because I love fall and since this story takes place in November there is a lot of fall to see. Remarkable story.

I am quite familiar with the books that this author writes. This one was longer than most of the other books that I have read and are geared towards a middle school reader and not her typical elementary school readers. This one is quite unique and like her typical stories does have a lesson to learn with it. I loved that the story that she told and how she incorporated the ability to change, or shift, into any animal that she dreams about. I will say that she had me sitting on the edge of my seat during parts of this story because it could have ended entirely different than it did. I would highly recommend this book for any middle school or advanced elementary school reader that you know. It would also make a perfect gift for giving here at the holiday season.

Be prepared for this funny romantic suspense story. Jenna has left her boyfriend and has decided to try out a different bar. Back story is Jenna has money and all of her previous boyfriends just want her money. Including Steve, her last one. Although he kept bugging her to add his name to her bank account. He hit the red flag and she was over him.Andy is minding his own business when a girl walks in and puts an envelope in his lap. Shocked, he tried to catch up with her, but she was gone. In that envelope he found a few thousand dollars and a note. That’s it, no spoilers. This is one you will need to read to believe it. This author has done it once again. Kept me up all night reading her book. But so worth the adventure, intrigue and suspense. The story is well written and fast paced. She got me on page two and I was off. Her main characters are just plain everyday people caught up in the kidnapping. I have read books from this author and never second guess buying her books. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Operation Blackbird is the second book in the Brass Compass series by Ellen Butler. Set in 1952, a CIA officer has to confront her past while saving a scientist trying to defect to East Berlin without alerting the KGB. You must grab this book if you enjoy historical thrillers with a strong female lead. I had already read the first book in this series, but this could be enjoyed as a standalone. Miriam Becker is a fantastic character who has seen the best and worst of people. I enjoy reading about her adventures because she is intelligent and very human. I enjoyed how the story differed from other spy thrillers dealing with the Cold War. There are sections I felt like I was holding my breath, waiting to find out what would happen.
I always enjoy this author’s books and look forward to reading more from her.

The Dwarves’ Dilemma (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was super cute!! I got this thinking that my youngest daughter (7) would like it. My oldest (10) also enjoyed not only the story but the fun illustrations as well. The Queen in this book is know as the most fair and honest person in the Kingdom of Aleta. Everyone comes to her with their problems so they can be solved fairly. She uses a mirror to help her with the harder problems. Looking for the sparkle of fairness in everyone’s eyes each time. When the dwarves bring her a problem where both sides think they are being fair the Queen needs her mirror. But there is a problem when the mirror shows her that SHE isn’t the fairest! Oh my! She entrusts Snow White to get to the bottom of the problem. Can Snow White find out where things went wrong? How is the Queen not fair? Will the poor dwarves’ problem get solved? What will happen to the Queen?! Such a fun book. In the back of the book it has information on how mirrors work and reflect. It’s a great way to help your kids learn about some science stuff while reading a cute book. I would recommend this book (and the other science books she’s written) for kids ages 5-10. I know my two kiddos have enjoyed them all so far!! Can’t wait for more!!

“Bycatch”: the portion of a commercial fishing catch that consists of marine animals caught unintentionally. -Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged.

Rex Thompson made a huge mistake while serving in Vietnam and Nguyen Duc Dung not only witnessed the mistake but paid a huge price for it. Many years later and a world apart, their lives would come together again.

Rex wasn’t the best husband, father, employee, or friend and he’s trying to change that. Or at least he thought he was. Ruled by the bottle, Rex ends up making even more mistakes and one day escapes his two teenage sons to try to make amends. Little does he know that Jake and Pigeon are going to follow in his footsteps in an even worse manner.

Dung ends up dead one day and everyone is pointing the finger at Rex, except that he’s nowhere around. The only other logical conclusion is that his son’s have sunk the boat that they fell in love with, but lost, when their dad ran away.

Rex finally returns home to learn of Dung’s death and this stirs up many thoughts of the past. Did this have something to do with him afterall or is he just the bycatch?

This was an enjoyable novel full of mystery and intrigue. I found myself liking Rex from the beginning even though I knew he was not the most reputable person. This is a story of hatred and love, forgiveness and abandonment, of redemption and saving.

Poor Evan! One second, he was being chased in Texas and the next minute after jumping a ravine he ends up in the land of fairytales and all the beings found in fairytales. Who knew that fairies, elves, dragons, and giants existed in another world? Evan is very aware of these creatures now and must complete three tasks as assigned by the Elven Queen in which they become more dangerous by the task. These tasks must be completed so that the Elf Queen will give Evan the spell to return to his home world but if he fails or chooses not to do the tasks, he will be in servitude of her for ten years! The choice is his: three tasks or servitude for 10 years.
So, Evan decides to take on the tasks from the Queen and along the way he makes truly great friends even when others are baffled by his choices. Assassination attempts are made on his life as he completes the quests as they truly are more than a menial task. Trolls, dragons, ogres and more stand in his way of going home. The best part of Stellaluna is that as a human being, Evan can learn any type of magic and finds those to teach him along the way and may I add, he finds a cute little girlfriend as well, even if she is engaged to a pompous ass of an elf! You must read the book to find out if he completes his quests and how he makes out in another world!
Such great characters and so easy to root for and to fall in love with and to wish them well! No spoilers but I like the fact that Evan stays true to himself to the very end. Once you read the book you will understand how important it is to him and how he does it. The storyline was wonderful and engaging! The book was so hard to put down as I just kept wanting more of the tasks and the other creatures of the fairytale world! Looking forward to more stories from Stellaluna Chronicles!

Five year old Missy loves spiders, she sees them everywhere, they follow her everywhere, more than she can count. She even has an “imaginary” pet tarantula named Fred. She insists the eight legged creatures she sees are real but no one believes her until people start dying.
This is a book that will keep you up at night and jump from the slightest touch! I really enjoyed this unique read! Hawkins creates a world that is as creepy as it is mesmerizing. The fact that we, as the reader, are experiencing this from the perspective of a five year old makes this story even more horrifying. This book truly gave me goosebumps. Missy, Fred, and their spider friends have ensured that I will be terrified of spiders for the rest of my life. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good scare!
