Twilight’s Curse (Twilight Realm Series Book 1) by K. M. Wray – Review by Daryian Lucas

Twilight's CurseTwilight’s Curse by K.M. Wray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twilights curse should most definitely be adapted for a TV show or movie (only if it does it justice). This book teaches a beautiful lesson on forgiveness, the power in vulnerability, and the beauty in trusting in your own abilities. I loved the details that were used to describe every second of the book. It made imagining the storyline very easy. This YA romance was very sweet and reminded me what it felt like to be a teenager in love. I can’t wait to read the next book!

The Girl and the Gargoyle (The Girl and the Raven Book 2) by Pauline Gruber – Review by Erin Wolf

The Girl and the Gargoyle (The Girl and the Raven, #2)The Girl and the Gargoyle by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give The Girl and the Gargoyle: YA Paranormal Romance (The Girl and the Raven Book 2) by Pauline Gruber, 4 stars.
**This review may contain spoilers from book 1.**

Wow, this series just keeps getting better. Lucy is still struggling with her relationship with Marcus, but that is really the least of her worries. There is so much more action in this book and we meet even more characters to make everything that much
more interesting. Lucy has doubts about almost everyone, but she still has a good heart and firm beliefs on what she should do. She really grows more in this book and she is what makes it so good. Of course, the secondary characters make it even better. Her “family” loves her and does what they can to help her. There are plenty of other great characters you won’t soon forget on both the good and evil sides.

Again, the story is fantastic in this book. I quickly picked this book up after book one and could not put it down. The author weaves such a captivating story. At the heart, it is good vs evil, but who is good and who is evil? You are asking yourself that the whole time.

If you are a fan of YA Paranormal Romance or Urban Fantasy, this book is for you. I do recommend reading book one first so you have a better understanding though.

Shadows of Doubt (A Crawford Mystery) by Merissa Racine – Review by Amanda Glaspie

Shadows of Doubt (A Crawford Mystery)Shadows of Doubt by Merissa Racine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadows of Doubt (A Crawford Mystery) by Merissa Racine was a great second installment in the Crawford Mystery series. Once again we follow Lauren, who is now working as a freelance court reporter, as she is thrust into the Archer family drama. Shadows of a Doubt once again pulls you into trying to solve the who-done-it mystery. Merissa successfully sets up the story line, question and makes you guess who the murderer is, and shocks you at the end. I found that I couldn’t put the book down and kept wanting more. I hope to continue following Lauren, Sam, and all the townspeople of Crawford.

Twilight's CurseTwilight’s Curse by K.M. Wray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and while geared toward the middle to high school reader, I loved this book. I feel like the author has done a wonderful job of creating a story that not only is appealing to the young adult reader but to the adult reader as well. Especially if you love reading fantasy, folksy, myth and stories. She did a great job making me feel as though I was in this world around me. Her characters are amazing. I truly love the elves in this book. In fact, I wanted to be one. This book reminded me of several book series I love, and it took me on a ride to a realm I want to live in. I look forward to the continuation of this series and will certainly be checking out some of the other books by this author. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book to read.

The Girl and The Demon (The Girl and The Raven, #3)The Girl and The Demon by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Girl and the Demon is the third book in The Gild and that Raven book by Pauline Gruber. I highly suggest reading books one and two because it will enhance the pleasure of this book. This is a YA paranormal/fantasy story. It is filled with witches, demons, gargoyles, magic, challenges, and good vs. evil. The storyline is engaging. I kept turning the pages to see what was coming next in the story. The characters kept my attention and mystified my senses. This story is about Lucy and her friends. Lucy has a lot to think about with her friends, boyfriend, and an evil demon coming after her. Will Lucy be able to keep everyone safe or will she meet her match? I highly recommend this book and all the books in the series. I can only hope that there is more to come.

The Girl and The RavenThe Girl and The Raven by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give The Girl and the Raven: a YA Paranormal Romance by Pauline Gruber, 4 stars.

This was a really interesting YA Paranormal Romance. It starts out pretty tragic for Lucy, but then she is given another chance to basically start all over. In this book, we really learn who she was and who she wants to be. She is such a strong person, especially for her age and while she struggles, she does what she has to for those she loves. We are introduced to so many other characters besides her that really help to make this book so much better.

Then there is the story itself. I will admit, this book seems to have some of the things that at one time we saw everywhere in this genre. To be honest, that made me question by choice of books. But I quickly realized that there was so much more to this book than that, and those things I worried about paled in comparison to the suspense and action in the story. Lucy is trying to come to terms with what she really is, trying to fit in at school, trying have a steady relationship, and all the while battling against an evil out there. There are plenty of surprises along the way too — things aren’t always what they seem.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys supernatural romance with plenty of action and strong main characters.

Nite Fire: Smoke & Mirrors (Book 3) AUDIO BOOK by C.L. Schneider – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Nite Fire: Smoke and Mirrors is a fantasy book about Dahlia Nite, a half-dragon shapeshifter. Dahlia is now living among the humans, not really fitting in, however, she didn’t fit into her original world either. However, what she doesn’t realize is that these two worlds are about to collide. She works with the police department trying to engage in “normal” life, but to live this normal life also means she lives in lies and deception. One night, by the river, dismembered body parts were discovered and now Dahlia had to try and figure out this oddity. Luckily, the secrets that she holds helps her on this endeavor, however, she will have to explain and deceive her partner to get to the bottom (a partner who only knows enough about the world she came from, but not to the extent needed to keep everyone safe). This is my first book by this author and I thought CL Schneider provided a new outlook on the fantasy world. The story line was intriguing, however, there were a lot of characters I had to keep up with and what relation or world did they originate from. With that said, the characters she portrayed were different then in other fantasy books I have read, plus they were developed, complex, but also relatable.

The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria, #1)The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start and kept engaged to the end. The characters gave life to the story and made it fun and easy to read. This is a story that took me on an adventure of romance and twists and turns like no other. A war is coming and Talise hopes that she has enough power to win. She is a strong, fierce character that believes in herself until she meets him. He has just as much skill as she does but she also has secrets that could change things. What happens next is up to you to read about. You don’t want to miss what happens with this strong character. I really enjoyed her and she is my favorite so far. I enjoyed the plot growth throughout the story and of the characters. This is a great story to pick up and I highly recommend it

Ashes of Aldyr (The Obscured Throne Trilogy Book 1) by Russell Archey

Ashes of Aldyr is the first book in The Obscured Throne Trilogy by Russell Archey . Holy Cow what an epic dark Fantasy. I’ll admit what I just read was no where near what I expected to find when I started reading. It’s a grab you from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. It’s a fast paced story that takes you on quite the adventure and the characters are well developed and easy to keep up with. I could quite easily imagine how things looked and a couple times I literally got chills. This is a new to me author but he just got himself a new fan. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens. I can’t wait for the next book in this Trilogy.

Ashes of Aldyr (The Obscured Thorne Trilogy Book 1)Ashes of Aldyr by Russell Archey

The Ashes of Aldyr is probably one of the best dark fantasy stories that I’ve read in a bit. It’s usually not my genre but I had read such great review that I had to give it a try. I am so glad I did. Action, thrills and dark adventure. The evil kind of gives you such creeps that you want to crawl in a hole too. I found myself holding my breath waiting for the next thing to happen. I wanted to keep reading but life (eating, sleeping, etc.) got in the way. The author’s descriptions are so clear that I can almost visualize the characters and places in my head. A definite winner for me. This is a great book. Give it a shot! I don’t think you’ll be unhappy. Highly recommend.

Allie has issues that revolve around men. When Nick comes back to the States and tries to step in, she isn’t having it. It is up to him to convince her that it is in her best interests to allow him to be her security.
Opinion
Yet another great book in this series! I do wish that there was more detail to the resolution. I thought there was a gracious plenty amount of details in their love life but a lot less in the situation at hand. Overall, I thought it was a great read with a good story line. I definitely love this series.

Red's Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez (Satan's Devils MC Vegas #1)Red’s Peril Part 1: The Making of an MC Prez by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Red’s Peril Part 1: The making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devils MC Vegas Chapter) is the first book in a thrilling new series by Manda Mellett. This author can kidnap a readers attention and weaves a mighty tale that astounds and captivates. Her characters are well thought out and the execution is on point. I really loved this story. Red appealed to all my senses and has me wanting more. The need to know more about Red is all consuming. From the MC life and the way the author unveiled his life, Red’s Peril was an emotional and stirring story which gripped me and impressed me. A journey that isn’t over and one that is completely addictive and full of bumpy bits. This story will give you a bit of all the feels and a lot of enjoyment. A crazy good book. I want more. 5 stars.

to writing full time.

 

Cross-Country Christmas is Laurie’s thirteenth published novel. She writes in multiple genres, penning

her women’s fiction and romance novels as Laurie Lewis and her historical fiction novels as L.C. Lewis.

She is asked to manage their tour and although she has reservations about it she decides to go and that’s when things get going.

This was a great 5 star read. I love rocker reads and this one pulled me right in from the beginning and I didn’t want to stop reading it.

Joe’s band Gracefall is starting to get big and when his best friend Melody joins their tour as their manager things get very interesting. Melody has a rule against dating Rock stars. The more time they spend together the greater their attraction gets. They do also have some things from their past that just won’t stay in the past. And there is a huge twist when tragedy strikes.

How will they both react to this? Can they move forward and have a HEA?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. The characters added a great element to the story. The author does a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from this series. We get some steamy scenes and you can’t help but think about your own favorite band and wonder what they would be like on the road. If you’re looking for a great rocker read then I highly suggest you 1-click and get started today.

Melody Sterling is the daughter of a rock star. Joe Grace is the drummer for a rock band. Melody and Joe have been best friends forever, but have they both had stronger feelings than that? I love how Melody and Joe are so supportive of each other’s goals, but does it mean pursuing their own goals means they can’t be together?
Melody joins Joe on their headlining tour as their manager, can she handle the rock star lifestyle? She grew up in that world and it destroyed her parents. I found myself rooting for these two from the beginning. Their connection is so strong, even just as friends. They both have secrets that need to be told, but can they trust each other enough to be completely open?
Victoria Zak did a great job making me feel like I was right there with them.

Red’s Peril, Part 1, is Fantastic. I loved the story and how it told Red’s beginning from the time of his father’s death up to becoming Pres of the chapter. His story with Cheryl was bittersweet and heartwarming. Learning how he came into the club was intriguing and a little scary. i loved seeing the characters I was familiar with and just enjoying more of the tales that Ms. Mallets regales us with. They are so good and enthralling that it is very hard to put the story down once you start. I cannot wait to read Part 2. Highly recommend for the adventurous over 18 crowd.

Merissa Racine did an amazing job with this book!! Every chapter I read I was trying to fit pieces together to solve this small town mystery. I did not want to put this book down once I started, and I did not want to be wrong about who I believed to be the murderer after I finished it. Lol
This story was very vivid and easily imagined, and the way she told the story it felt like you could be there.
It starts of with Lauren returning home to face her past and see if she can find her way successfully in this new chapter of her life. Good friends, her own home, and decent job show her promising start. Then one day she goes to pick up the judge she works with and walks right into a murder scene. She is questioned multiple times believed to be the prime suspect, and when information comes in casting a shadow on her ex-husband as well things get even stranger. As the story unfolds there is much more to this mystery and the small town than meets the eye. I promise you wont put this book down until the end!

Forever: A Diamond Doms Novel by Ivy Nelson – Review by Katie Kearney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forever: A Diamond Doms Novel by Ivy Nelson. Ok first things first I personally recommend reading this series in order. One because you truly don’t want to miss any of the other books and two because it flows better that way. I went back and ended up just binging the entire series and I have absolutely zero regrets on my lost sleep. This book had everything I was looking for and definitely brought this series to an end the author could be proud of. Is this type of story for everyone maybe not but I for one was hooked from beginning to end and couldn’t put it down. The characters are complex and relatable, they simply draw you into their world and I loved getting lost in the pages with them. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I honestly wish I could read this book and the rest of the series all over for the first time but I’ll have to just add them to my read again list. Five huge stars and highly recommended!
