My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ross (Central Florida Stories Book 4) by Victoria Saccenti. This is a wonderful romantic suspense that I read in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down. Its the story of Ross and Hadley. Ross had always had a thing for Hadley but when she left on the back of his brothers motorcycle years ago he was done. His heart was broken and that ruined him for all women. He wrote them off until he received a letter from Hadley asking him to come rescue her and her daughter. There are trigger warnings with what Hadley went thru at the hands of Ross’ brother and his MC gang. What happens next is Ross willing to do anything to save Hadley and her daughter even his reputation. The trauma that Hadley has gone thru and working thru those will be tough but Ross is determined to stick it out and be there for Hadley. But will his brother let Hadley go without a fight? Read this amazing fast paced romantic suspense to find out! While it can be read as a standalone I always enjoy them better reading them in order to get to know all the characters better.

Necrosis Audiobook by C.L. Schneider – Review by Callie Luna

/0 Comments/in /by

Necrosis is the short story about a mother and daughter trying to stay alive during a zombie apocalypse. It is a fast-paced story that keeps the tension on survival. It shows how much any mother would do to help their children survive. The descriptions are perfect and help to build the world all the way to the last scene. C. L. Schneider is a master at creating intense combat and making you root for the characters.

The narrator Jess Jacob does a great job bringing the tension of the story to life. I can hear the anguish, despair, and desperation in her voice. I highly recommend Necrosis as the audio book due to how much the story came to life with these fantastic elements.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Big Red Monster (Giants and Monsters) by Lois Wickstrom. This is my favorite children’s author and she’s done it again with this cute read. Its the story a little girl who is afraid of the big red monster under her bed. Her brother thinks she’s dumb and doesn’t believe her. The monster tells her he won’t attack her if she will give him jobs to do and keep him busy. That is easy at first but becomes harder and harder. The morale of the story is becoming friends with people who are difficult to be friends with and to conquer your fears. Its such a great book I’m planning on getting a couple for Christmas gifts. Such a talented author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such an amazing book and an incredible addition to the series! I have enjoyed each of the books I’ve read by this author, but this may be my favorite so far. While it started a little slower than the others, it more than makes up for it with the thrilling mysteries that follow. Logan is looking forward to meeting her half-sister and enjoying her life…until a murder intervenes. Will her half-sister be able to assist with investigating in the way we know Logan can, or will she stand in the way? I could not figure out what was happening as I was reading and just when I thought I had, the author threw another twist in the mix. I highly recommend picking this book up and getting lost in Logan’s world filled to the brim with lies, drama, murder, and more!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read from Angela Lam. I really wasn’t sure what to expect. The cover and description didn’t really give me a whole lot but I figured I’d give it a shot. It wasn’t bad. The story itself was realistic and kept up a good pace. The fact that it was 2 povs and the time-line went back and forth for both of them, threw me off a bit. It was a little hard to follow. Over all it was a decent read and I would pick up something else from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a tale. With no one to trust and nowhere to turn Sparky a young street-smart girl is on the run. Sparky is set to clear her name and find a killer, but friends soon turn to foes in this fun, mystery filled tale.
The Cold Kid Case – A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery is set in the 1930’s. Even though the book is aimed at a younger audience, it was still enjoyable even at my age, if not a little crazy.
This book of filled with plenty of quirky characters and lots of crazy action as Sparky and her would be helpers that tend to hinder rather than help track down what happened to the Cold Kid.
It took me a while to get used to the way the story is told but overall, I found it to be an enjoyable read.
To find out what happens in this story full of mayhem and madness you will have to read it for yourself.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a heartwarming romance with a festive feel which I thoroughly enjoyed. Schoolteacher Joy Stewart is looking for a Christmas miracle following the death of her grandmother who raised her dies, leaving her with debts to pay. When the man she owes money to says he will take her as payment Joy needs to find another option, and then discovers that her Grandmother already had a plan. Meanwhile, Marshal Jack Bolling is left bringing up his four year old twin niece and nephew following the tragic death of their parents. He’s struggling to find a nanny especially on his Marshal’s salary, but then his friend Pastor North suggests that he look for a wife instead. With it being so near to Christmastime he could also do with a Christmas miracle to find a suitable wife and quickly. This was an enjoyable and engaging read, and I felt fully immersed in the storyline as both the characters and setting were brought to life by the descriptive narrative. I look forward to reading the next book in this new series. This romantic story also had a lovely festive feel about it which has put me in the Christmas spirit!

My Murder YearMy Murder Year by Kate Larkindale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stas is your typical high school teenager who is still trying to find herself. She thinks that the biggest issues she has are her weight, which she believes makes her incapable of dancing and be able to wear the clothes she wants. After the tragic murder of her mom the story becomes even more emotionally charged. To make matters worse the prime suspect is her father. Now she must find out who really did kill her mother. She is ultimately on a journey to find herself and to heal from the loss of her mom.

I enjoyed reading My Murder Year due to how much Stas changes from the start of the story till the end. There is a good amount of suspense and twists and turns to keep it interesting. It was realistic and at times heart breaking. It is worth the read of you love stories with suspense, romance, and lots of heart!

Sea of Demons (Blood and Sand Book 5) by Heidi Stark – Review by Jenni Bishop

Sea of DemonsSea of Demons by Heidi Stark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sea of Demons is the fifth book in the Reverse Harem series Bood and Sand. I realised when I was about to start this book that there were four more books before this one and it looked like they all followed on from one another. So, I started at the beginning, and I am so glad that I did because they do indeed follow on. Make sure to start at the beginning of the series.
Warning: this book includes graphic violence and sex scenes, and references of abuse/assault that some readers may experience as triggering.
Angel and her men are back in this reverse harem mafia/gang dark romance suspense story. It is full of violence, danger and unexpected developments that had me on the edge of my seat at times.
With the stalker gone they now face a new nemesis and things can only get deadlier.
As with the rest of the series Sea of Demons is an action-packed tale and a few twisty turns. The intensity and the passion of the characters palpable. It is easy to be drawn into the darkness and the world that Heidi has created. This is the best book of the series.
No spoilers here.
If you are looking for something a little darker, a little spicier, a few sexy men then this is your book but check out the warning before you do.

Ok so I absolutely LOVED this book! I was planning on just reading it to my kids as they fall asleep, but found myself reading long after they had started sleeping. My girls loved it (3 and 4) but I am also going to give it to my 12 year old to read and I think he would really enjoy it too.
The world building is incredible and so vivid. The storyline is so unique and the characters are wonderful. K. L. Small really brings the main characters to life and I just wanted to rescue poor Rus. No spoilers, but I felt so sorry for him and was so frustrated that the adults in his life didn’t seem to notice he was struggling. Happy endings for all, but does illustrate some real life struggles in a way that is easy to understand and empathize with.
Recommend this book for readers of all ages!

Everything seemed to be going well with her family vacation and of course something always has to come along. Logan McKenna finds herself being drawn to solve another murder after a captain of an excursion is found murdered! There were so many suspects and then there was one unexpected one… Logan! Can Logan prove her innocence, can she prove that the killer hijacked her phone? This is not how Logan expected her family vacation to go, but then again, it seems like murder and Logan go hand in hand! Pick up a copy of this book and get lost reading about Logan McKenna and her murder solving adventure!

Spectral Revelations: A Karina Cardinal Mystery (The Karina Cardinal Mysteries Book 6)Spectral Revelations: A Karina Cardinal Mystery by Ellen Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 6th story in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series. This book can be read as a standalone however I do recommend reading them all so you get a complete understanding of the characters and can see their growth and development in each story.
This is a cosy paranormal mystery which I loved. It is fast paced and full of secrets that Karina has to discover and solve in order to figure out the case. There as so many twists and turns that the reader is kept guessing all the way through.

When Karina’s Aunt Vera goes missing there is a question over whether this was a genuine disappearance or just Aunt Vera wanting to disappear for a while. After Karina hears about her Aunts disappearance she has a feeling she’s in trouble. After all Karina seems to attract nothing but trouble recently. As she starts her search she gets some help from a unexpected being who holds some of the clues to her aunts disappearance. However it will take all of Karine’s sleuthing skills to be able to unravel the clues as they are twisted and distorted with lies and corruption. Can she solve this case in time? Is Aunt Vera really in danger or just hiding from something?

One things for sure with Karine’s strength and determined character she won’t let anyone stop her from getting to the bottom of this mystery.

This is the sixth book in the Logan McKenna Series and each book is getting better and better than the one before it! Valerie Davisson has such a knack and vision for her stories and characters. I have found that there is never a dull moment, especially when it comes to Logan. Valerie has a way of describing everything in such detail that it makes you feel like you were right next to Logan yourself. In this book we find that Logan is expecting happy times ahead, her and Ben have bought a house that needs quite a bit of tlc on the Oregon coast. Between working on their new house and meeting her half-sister, Olivia, Logan thought she had her hands full, but little did she know that her plate was going to become even fuller. Logan has found herself in the midst of another murder, and of course she is going to be investigating……the biggest kicker is that Logan is juggling the murder, house and meeting her sister for the first time, all at once! Will Logan and Olivia get along, does the house that Ben and Logan are working get finished, is the murder solved just in time? There’s only one way to find out…. pick up the book and find out for yourself! Happy Reading!

This is the fourth book in this series, and I have read all the books in this series. Let’s just say that these books just keep getting better and better! Valerie has a way of intertwining action, suspense and mystery all while developing a great story line. To me, this is a well-developed story that has wonderful and not so wonderful characters that bring the story to life. Just like the previous books, I was pulled into this story right from the beginning and was entertained to the end. Logan is back in another investigation and just like all the other times before…. it’s a doozy! This time she finds that her friend isn’t who she says she is…. but it’s not for the reason that Logan thinks! As her new neighbor clings to life in the hospital, Logan is trying to draw out the killer. Logan finds that the more she digs to find the truth and solve the crime that is at hand, the more she realizes that she may not be able to escape the situation that is at hand! You definitely don’t want to miss Logan in another suspenseful investigation looking for a killer. Logan has grown to be one of my favorite characters. She has a way of showing her strength, determination and nothing is going to stop her from getting what she wants! This is a very entertaining book, as well as the other books in the series. Happy Reading!

Not my usual genre at the moment but I thought for a change I would delve into this historical suspense. And this book gives you suspense, and action alongside a fast paced (once you are hooked) story of self exploration and how life changes.<br />I can say I enjoyed it, it took me a bit to fall into the world described (again possibly as it’s not my go to genre) but the author really does pull you along with Simin (Fenimore) as they change their life from farmer to outlaw in the West.<br />The book does show how his life changes and that the grass is not alway greener. As with many historical reads there are mentions of behaviours that are not as much of our everyday life in this time. This does show that the author has done their research and sticks to the narrative and builds a word as close to what may have happened as possible. <br />I would certainly read more by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mark Sutherland loves adventure! In order to support his ideal lifestyle, he became a reporter. His dream is to go to the Yukon and experience the Canadian Gold Rush. However, he has to pay and exorbitant amount of money to get there. Not to mention, a year’s worth of supplies (including a stove) to be able to survive there, because once you get there, you are iced in until spring. So to save his money to get there, he takes other trips out to Texas and Oklahoma. He has other adventures and ends up befriending Gus, who becomes a good, reliable friend. When he returns from those, he finds out that his trip has been approved, but it comes with a few strings. Can Mark agree to the terms to gain the trip of a lifetime? Or will it become too much to ask of him?

I really love reading this author! Their stories always make me feel like I am right there in history watching the adventures play out in my mind. The characters are written in such a relatable/likeable way that it is easy to want to be their friend! I also enjoyed the mention and interaction with Emma from the author’s Notebook Mysteries series (if you haven’t read that series, you should!). I love that their story is still continuing on with the next generation. It was an enjoyable read and am looking forward to the next in the series!

This is another amazing paranormal M/M romance from this author. I have read loads of book and I am never disappointed. The author does an incredible job of making the stories unique and with all the books I’ve read there is never the same story. What I love about this author is their ability to captivate me from the start and surprising me along the way.
This is a quick read which will keep you gripped all the way through. I don’t want to give too much away but this is a story that has it all, danger, secrets, Paranormal activity and of course romance and chemistry.

When Lucifer breaks into the mysterious house that the town thinks is haunted he planned on proving all the gossip wrong. What he didn’t expect was that one decision would change his life in ways he could never expect or imagine. The Men of Eden Cove Manor do hold secrets but will Lucifer embrace this discovery or run away like many have before him?

Heart’s Escape is the third book in the paranormal fantasy Fallen Hearts series. This story is told my fav way of storytelling from alternating POV’s given us a much more in-depth view of who the characters are.
Meredith has once again intricately woven together an amazing tale that is well written. Her writing style paints a vivid picture of this unique and exciting world that has many characters. There are elves, dwarves, dragons, and strange shadow monsters.
They may be broken but they take charge and forge ahead in this action adventure that is full of violence, danger and unexpected developments that had me on the edge of my seat.
Two strangers from different worlds lost, desperate and secrets start these characters on a dangerous road. This journey is a steamy slow burn enemies to lover’s tale.
There is a lot going on in this fast-paced tale that is full of magic, fear, hate, danger, passion, desperation, hope, plots, portals, a touch of humour, banter, and spicy romance.
This exciting book will appeal to anyone who enjoys reading paranormal romantasy tales with dragons and supernatural beings. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!

I absolutely love this series. I am so glad there is more Jake and Cody my favourite pair. Mission Target is the seventh epic tale in the Jake Wolfe series and not to be missed. You really do need to read he books in order to appreciate this pair and understand everything that has happened to bring the characters where they are today.
Mark is a master at cleverly weaving together a thrilling story that never leaves you wanting. He is a dynamic storyteller, and he packs a punch with his vivid vision and portrayal of fully developed characters and never-ending action.
This gripping tale is a rollercoaster of a ride with lots of twists and turns you don’t see coming. It is a suspenseful thriller that is so engrossing that the end is upon you before you know it. As much as there is action galore and lots of suspense and tension that is palpable, it is also fun and humorous, and I was laughing out loud.
The characters are well developed, fully realised and definitely flawed. Jake and his best friend Cody crack me up they are completely unique characters. Whenever these two are on a case there is mayhem and madness. The story is told in the third person POV of several characters. Telling a story this way I love as it makes the story even more dynamic and make them so much more real.
Jake a covert operative will do everything in his power to keep the enemy winning but this time he maybe way out of his wheelhouse as he faces an enemy like no other.
This fast-paced read is completely enthralling, and I read it in one sitting because it is so good that you don’t want to waste a minute in finding out what is going on.
With threats, a twisted maze of crimes, secrets, lies, and murders and a life-or-death battle and a ruthless global criminal organization Mark caters to every thriller lover.

Joy’s Christmas Escape is the first book in The Marshal’s Mail Order Bride series by new-to-me author P. Creeden. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Creeden, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her books, but the blurb intrigued me enough to want to find out, and I love a good historical romance. So I let my one-click finger loose and snapped up a copy to set off on the adventure.
I am excited to find that this is part of (what appears to be) an 8-part series, something to look forward to. The author also has numerous other books to her name, so I can feel a book-binge coming on.
This was a sweet historical romance with all the ingredients needed to make it a great read:
-Down-on-her-luck mail order bride ✔
-Hunky lawman who desperately needs a nanny ✔
-Cute kids ✔
-Emotion ✔
