What if you were born with an addiction to magic? What if your pleasure meant their pain?

Ian Troy is one of the Shinree, a fallen race born with an addiction to magic. Enslaved and drugged to suppress their deadly desires, the Shinree live to serve their masters. After years of forced combat in Rella’s long, brutal war, Ian is desperate for peace. With defeat imminent, he defies the queen’s orders and wields the Crown of Stones; an ancient relic of untold power. Unaware of the artifact’s true nature, he ends the war, but pays a terrible price.

A decade later, Ian is still running from the blood in his veins and on his hands. Curbing his cravings with wine and regret, he struggles to forget. But when a fateful encounter with a pretty assassin brings him down that dark path again, Ian’s addiction is awakened—and denial is no longer an option. With the realm he gave up everything to protect once more in jeopardy, Ian becomes embroiled in a violent race for control of the Crown of Stones. As deceptions unfold, the truth becomes clear. To save the realms, he must embrace the one thing he fears most: his own power.

Magic-Price is the award-winning first installment in The Crown of Stones trilogy.

Falling For His Badass by Jessika Klide – Review by Randall Murphy
This book is a classic beautiful girl that thinks she’s not good enough and the badass Seal that proves to her that she is everything he wants. It’s a good story with a few twists and a couple of surprises. Other than a couple of scumbags that try to trap Lizzy in a 3-way groping on the dance floor with possible mal-intent, there’s no real arch-enemy or bad guy. It’s a happy ever after kind of story about a girl that has low self-esteem and has been used battling to believe she’s worthy of the lust in the badass’ glazed look. Characters are lively and realistic. It’s a really good story with pretty accurate characterizations of military culture.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oftentimes you hear of a new author and hope for the best but open their first work with trepidation. You just don’t expect to be blown away.

You will be blown away by this narrative.

Valkyrie has a unique voice that is brought to life by some incredibly fantastic characters and imaginative, emotional, otherworldly fantasy that will enthrall the reader.

I am thrilled that I put this book in my hands and cannot wait to see what Valkyrie comes up with next!

Hope (Feisty Lawyers Book 4)Hope by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hope by Seelie Kay is the fourth book in the Feisty Lawyers series. Hope can be a name or something someone believes in. In this book, Hope is a remarkable woman who has gone through special training in order to help those who can’t help themselves. Since this is the fourth book in the series there are some parts better understood after having read the other books but I believe this can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone book. I really enjoyed Hope’s story and tore through it in one sitting. This is a short book and you won’t want to put it down. There is action, intrigue, and some romance. I really enjoyed this escape from the everyday.

The Rise of House Valdis (House Valdis Book 1) by Naomi Valkyrie was a fun and romantic read. This novel. Was full of magic and supernatural beings. I loved the variety the author used in creating her characters. She demonstrates a fun imagination especially with main character Xenobia. I kept trying to figure her out at first but wow! I really enjoyed this novel and could not put it down. The author also did a great job organizing this book keeping each point of view separate with it’s own chapter. I look forward to more from this author in this series in the future.

I found this book to be intense, emotional, with danger never far behind the characters. I was pulled into the story from the start and didn’t want to put it down. I enjoyed reading about the character Isaac Reid. He finds himself having to make a choice that is hard to make. I could really feel the conflict that is felt by Isaac. I found my emotions going up and down. In this book there are characters and decisions that are more shades of gray than clear cut. The book is very detailed and I felt like I was there with the characters. Don’t miss out on a fast-paced journey. I would recommend reading it.

5 stars

What a kickoff to what I know is going to be a great new series. I will start this by saying this is not my go to genre but when a synopsis grabs my attention I have to read it, and this did that and so much more.
I absolutely loved this book. The characters were so well thought out and I never once felt lost or confused, even with the changing of character voices we follow, as they’re laid out of who is speaking.
Xenobia was a great character to kick this book off with, what a main leading lady.
I cannot wait for more from this debut author, and i want to say so much more but if we follow Xenobia and her girls some more I am all in. Adding to my waiting to buy list.

I absolutely loved this first book by Naomi Valkyrie! It completely hooked me from the very beginning and its definitely one of those books that has a complete original storyline! The characters are what make this story. It’s multiple POV but there is so much depth to each of them. My favorite part is the one split second decision she makes and it starts a spiral of events that could expose who she is.

This is the first book in the Valdis series and I’m impatiently waiting for more.

I absolutely loved this collection of reads by L.M Mountford. I’ve only read one other book by this author but I was so glad I picked up this read! These books are full of passion, sexiness, romance & steaminess. Each book pulled me in and had me utterly captivated. Each book brought on a new experience a new way of making you feel. Each set of characters were well developed and really made each story real. These stories really do make you hot under the collar and most definitely make the author live up to “The Lord Of Lust” I can’t wait to read more!

5 out of 5 stars

What an amazing book to read. It includes the paranormal, paranormal creatures, and the situations that they face. One of the reasons I loved the book so much are the characters. At the top of that list is Xenobia. She is smart, independent, and stubborn. She is also kind and protective of those she cares about. Will she be able to face the danger before her and accept her new role and the responsibility that goes with it? Read this book to find out. I found the story is fast-paced and once started hard to put down. There are other characters that I enjoyed reading about such as Xen’s bestie, Maggie. The author writes.in such a way I felt I was right there with the characters. Don’t miss out on a story that is entertaining and intriguing. I highly recommend it.

The description of this book caught my attention immediately however the book itself was so much better than I expected it would be. I loved the way the author used short but effective chapters – this made it so much easier to squeeze in a chapter here and there in between a busy week!!!
I absolutely loved the character Xen. She is everything that you want a female lead to be. She is such a strong and interesting character – definitely me favourite one in the book.
I enjoyed every moment of this book and I ho early cannot wait to see what else this author does in the future.

When other situations occur that feeling becomes stronger. Is Abbie right about her new neighbors? Are they not who they say they are? Is her family in danger? Read this book to find out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Falling For His Badass is a very fast paced contemporary romance novel from Jessika Klide. It was the first time I had read anything by this author but it looked like just the kind of book that I enjoy, so I gave it a chance. I’m so glad that I took a chance with this novel as I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I mentioned before that it was fast paced, it was so fast that I just kept going and devoured the whole book in a couple of hours.
I loved the characters of Brody (BA) and Lizzy. Brody is home on leave from the military and is captivated by Lizzy. Lizzy is visiting with her best friend Tara whose boyfriend John is Brody’s brother. On a couple of occasions Brody steps in and is Lizzy’s knight in shining armour and it’s instant love between the 2, although Lizzy is not aware of the connection between the two of them as he introduces himself as BA, a nickname he is regularly called. I really loved the interactions between Lizzy and Brody and how instantly they both fell for each other. Pretty much love at first sight.
I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So I grabbed this book not knowing what it would be about, how many pages, etc. I thought it was going to be a GOT type of story. It is not BUT IT IS JUST AS GOOD!!!!

The story is written in a very unique narrative, the chapters are super short and each is told in a different voice. I still don’t know how many pages there are – I tried to read it all at once but I had to go to work. I finished it at lunch and I am very grateful I don’t have to punch a time-clock because sometimes being an adult is hard.

Ok, without giving anything away I will tell you the following:

A. This is a clean book, there was no cussing and no sex
B. The protagonist is a strong female who lifts women up instead of holding them down
C. There are a few interesting fellows
D. This book see its characters take almost a “spiritual” journey to new self awareness.
E. It is very visually written and I was transported into the book watched it like a movie

I look forward to reading more in this series (please tell me this is a series). I’m going to check the author’s other books to add to my WTR (want to read) list.

I will be going back to read the previous books in this series as DI Miller is an interesting character. This story has two different cases going on at the same time, a murder and a missing persons. DI Miller has determination in solving these cases. I highly recommend reading this book, find out if she does.

She is a great character that has some trust issues and could use a boost in self reassurance, I loved her. This is a must read.

The Rise of House Valdis by Naomi Valkyrie is the first book in the House Valdis series. This is a new author for me so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I am delightfully surprised to have found a new author to keep an eye on. This story has a lot going on and I do not want to give anything away. Xenobia has a secret she has held onto for 7 years and it comes out when she has to save her friend Maggie. What will happen now that someone knows her secret?
The characters are really interesting and I like the otherworldly and paranormal elements. I also enjoy a story that leaves me wanting more of the characters and plot and that is what this author has done for me.

Chicken Scratch (The Sisters, Texas #1)Chicken Scratch by Becki Willis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Chicken Scratch (The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series Book 1) Becki Willis, 5 stars.

This is an author I have not read before, but I quite enjoy cozy mysteries and the story looked interesting so I thought I would give it a try. I enjoyed it from the very beginning. Having it set around chicken house/chicken farming is unique and not something I have seen in a cozy mystery before. That is big here in Southern Delaware and a coworker of mine actually has some chicken houses, so I was pleasantly surprised that I could easily follow along. The author has obviously either had experience with this or has done lots of research. That speaks highly to me of the author.

But there is much more to this book than that. We have a gruesome death discovered, a family relocation from the city to a very small town, and former love interests thrown in to boot. This book has something for everyone. The characters are great, they feel like people I would want to know in the real world. Madison herself struggles with trying to make ends meet while also making sure her kids are happy. When she is thrown into the middle of a murder investigation, she feels like she has to help. But she doesn’t realize the danger she is putting herself into.

A cozy mystery with a compelling, unique story and very lovable characters, this is a book I highly recommend.

Falling For His Badass by Jessika Klide

4 Stars

This book started out awesome and flowed perfectly and just a few pages in I was like yep this will be a one sitting kind of book. I loved the characters and the storyline seemed somewhat unique. I became invested early with Lizzy and even Tara. I wasn’t sure what I was in store for just from the title of this book but even B.A. impressed me once I knew more about him. I truly loved this story all the way up to when they actually meet. For me it went a bit downhill from there..May just be the state of mind Im in right now but there didnt seem to be enough substance to the two of them as it was sex scene after sex scene from there and I could handle that but for me personally just a bit too graphic and the words used made me cringe in some places. This caused me to do a lot of skimming and that is a true pet peeve of mine.

It’s pretty obvious by the way this one ended that there will be more to come for all of these characters, I will probably read the next one because the storyline itself was something that kept me hooked and I’m hoping that there will not be quite as much graphic, leave nothing to the imagination kind of moments.

In saying all of that above…I do sincerely like this authors style of writing..It was easy to read and quick to grab.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My first book by Jessika Klide and won’t be my last. This story was an easy read. If you like to read about love at first sight kind of love with some hot sex thrown in, then this is the story for you.

“She teases me. “Vanilla is boring.” I chuckle. “That’s not necessarily true. All flavors begin with vanilla. So, in reality, vanilla is the foundation for the rest of the flavors because it’s pure.”

Lizzy and B.A. haven’t met yet but they are “almost set up” by her friend and his brother. With a slight twist in plans the two will meet but their connection just might be too good to be true.

This story, while short is worth the read and will hopefully lead to more. I will be looking into more by this author!

This is a sweet book and the pictures are wonderfully made. The lesson is this story is that we shouldn’t let our disappointments build up into anger. The mom teaches her son that anger and disappointment don’t last and helps her son find an easy way to help rid himself of the negative feelings. Great story, great lesson, perfect to teach children and I thought adding the story of the dragon and fairy were a perfect touch to show a similar situation to the kid.

Hope (Feisty Lawyers Book 4) by Seelie Kay is another wonderful continuation of this series that just keeps getting better and better. It is a quick and easy read but in true Seelie fashion, it is full of danger and action, suspense and adventure and not to mention a little heart breaking at one point. I love reading Seelie’s tales as she very cleverly pulls all the threads together to make on explosive experience for the reader. The characters are just brilliant and often make me laugh for this unlikely fit of people who have become a family. I won’t share too much as you have to experience it by yourself.

Hope has finally achieved her dream job, now all she has to do is show them she has what it takes on her first mission. Unfortunately the odds are stacked against her and what happens next leaves her broken and fighting for her life. But with the friends and family around her will she be able to fight her way back?

Another book that is a must read. I can’t wait for more from Seelie.

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider is right up my alley and a wonderful start to the series. I really enjoyed her other series Nite Fire, I love a good fantasy story (it’s my passion and what got me hooked on reading, but I digress) which CL did a great job of writing this one. It’s dark overtones and unique magic, just made it more interesting. It is intricately woven and has many layers but the joy in the read was peeling back those layers to reveal the heart of the story and the characters. The story has everything you need and to make it a great, there is plenty of danger and action, drama and magic, intrigue and suspense, and the usual light vs darkness. I really enjoyed the unique twist used in Ian’s magic. CL gives us a world that you can easily imagine due to her writing and world building.

Ian has been living in fear of his magic and using it for a long long time. Having to live with the deaths of so many makes his life a living hell. When he stumbles upon a new threat, with its heart purely on destroying everything and anything to get what it wants, Ian is forced back into using the one thing he hates most.

If you love fantasy you need to read this.

With danger looming, Xen is required to face her trust issues and self-doubt in order to traverse the unexpected world she finds herself mixed up in.

The investigation into a warehouse fire turns into a murder inquiry when a woman’s body is found in the debris.

DI Tanya Miller investigates, but her efforts are thwarted by a family problem that demands immediate attention. Her niece has gone missing, and her distraught sister is adamant Tanya help find her.

Juggling the two is difficult. Left to their own devices, her team are making little progress understanding the cause of the warehouse fire.

Whilst her team tries to discover what happened to the dead woman, who it turns out worked on the streets and was involved in drugs, Tanya is trying to understand what has happened to her niece – hopefully still alive. The contrast in their backgrounds could not be starker, but is her sister’s daughter the angel that her parents believe her to be?

One thing is certain, Tanya is under pressure to get results, and it will take all of her wits to come out on top. 

BURNING GREED is the second murder mystery to feature DI Tanya Miller. It can be enjoyed entirely on its own as a standalone, but readers will also enjoy the first book, BROKEN ANGEL and the third, BRUTAL PURSUIT.
