I woke up with no memory of who I am. And watching the writhing tentacles of a monster pull a stag into the lake for lunch tells me I’m not in my own world anymore.
But where tf am I?
I want to believe I’m trapped in a nightmare, but the horrors are all too real. No, not the monsters – the two brothers whose prison I’ve fallen into.
They both want me because I’m their ticket out of this godforsaken place. I’ve become the prize in their twisted rivalry.
I just want to go home. But in order to do that, I’ve got to stop fighting and give in to their brutish ways. Because as much as I’m their key to escape, they are mine. We’re all bound by circumstance with only one way out…
Let them have me.

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

He’s found a new home with her family while his own holds secrets to her past… This heart-wrenching 300+ page rural romance novel will have you gasping and keep you guessing as mysteries unravel, and as Jack and Sophie discover whether their love for one another can survive the deepest of wounds and darkest of betrayals.
Had it not been for her cousin’s wedding, Sophie Wendall would never have returned to Bitterbark Creek – her aunt and uncle’s idyllic farm-stay on the outskirts of town. Twenty years ago, tragedy stole everything from her including her memory, leaving only secrets and lies. Now that she’s back, there are just two things on her mind: to find out the truth of what really happened to her that day at the dam and to steer clear of the wicked Garland family and their charismatic son – the boy who broke her heart.
Jackson Garland is one of the few people who know what really happened to Sophie all those years ago, but he’s terrified of sharing the truth. To do so would jeopardize his happy sanctuary and newfound home at Bitterbark Creek. Upon reconnecting with Sophie, he realizes that while her extended family may have accepted him as one of their own, she’s going to take a little more convincing. Although he tries to charm and distract her to keep his secrets safe, it isn’t long before he’s at risk of falling under her own tantalizing spell.
As children, their love for one another kept them close until a car accident took one life and hatred tried to steal another. But dark truths can’t be hidden forever when ghosts from the past step into the light. Might the revelations be too daunting for them to handle? Or will Jack and Sophie finally put aside their family history and let love guide them into a future together?
A GARLAND AT BITTERBARK CREEK is about heartbreaking loss, rediscovering love and the healing ability of forgiveness and acceptance. If you love reading the novels of Mandy Magro, Alissa Callen, and Rachael Johns, then you will adore this heartfelt, second chance love story by award-winning author, Tammy Mannersly.

Reunion (The Hellgate Chronicles, #1)Reunion by Jocelyn Lindsay
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a supernatural end of the world romance story. It has a group of people who have powers and were beat friends in high school. After over 20 years, the main character returns to her hometown where her friends she hasn’t seen or spoken to since leaving have lived their lives. They have a lot to overcome, including forgiveness for over the past. I liked the story and the characters. It’s pretty detailed, even detailing smells and tastes.

Evergreen Academy (Society of Magical Botanists Series) by Heather Schneider
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – YA Fantasy
Page Count – 340
Cover Designer – Krafigs Designs

I’d always sensed something peculiar about the reclusive Evergreen Academy, tucked deep in the woods of my hometown. But I never could have imagined it was a college for magical botanists–and that I am one of them.

An invitation to the academy opens up a whole new world of wonder, yet my plant affinity powers remain elusive, and my scientific training is far behind that of my peers.

When I’m assigned a tutor, Callan Rhodes, a powerful descendant of the academy’s founders, I’m baffled by his willingness to help me.

Despite my challenges, I’m enchanted by the academy’s glass schoolhouse, its grounds which are overflowing with plants that defy the climate, and the quirky festivals held each equinox and solstice.

But disaster looms as the verdant shield that protects the academy from the prying eyes of nonmagical people begins to falter. Can Callan and the other founder’s descendants sustain the magic on their own, or will the clock finally start to tick on figuring out my powers?

Elements you’ll find in this story:

  •       Magical academy
  •       Plant magic
  •       Small town setting
  •       Cozy fantasy
  •       Light academia
  •       Science-based magic system
  •       Slow burn romance (no spice)
  •       First person POV
  •       An enchanting world
  •       And so much more

It was a job like any other,
In a beautiful city I’d visited before.
Nothing spectacular about any of it,
Except he was in town too.
What were the odds?
My best friend, my oldest friend.
The boy I’d crushed on briefly in high school
We hadn’t seen each other in a few years,
But I planned to show him my favorite parts of the city.
To laugh and drink together, to just have fun.
That was it.
But one kiss turned into another, and the night was ours.
But was it the start of something else?
Or would it always be just one night?

Genre – Horror Thriller
Page Count – 206

 A MACABRE THRILLER For Those Who Love POE, Clive BARKER, and The TWILIGHT ZONE.

 

San Antonio Del Tequendama

Cundinamarca, Colombia

November 1938

 

‘My front door is broken, bleeding guts of shadows…’

‘…how do I find new skin…’

‘…among my desolate bones…’

“But this is nothing, right?” whispered Tatiana. “I’m still alive.”

These were her abstract thoughts as she stared like a saucer-eyed cat confronting a deluge––stared into her emerald green eyes in the large, heart-shaped crest-mirror hanging above the vanity table in her bedroom suite at Hotel “Bochica”, Salto del Tequendama.

 

Tatiana Marita Ospina has run away from her forced marriage to an aristocratic philanderer, and sought sanctuary at “Bochica”, a retreat for the rich and famous. The last thing she expected, however, was to discover a convoy of Nazi SS soldiers arriving at the hotel under cover of night, led by Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess.

 

In the darkest hours of the morning, Tatiana’s sleep is disrupted by strange, ghostly music and voices, which grip her imagination and compel her to explore the lower levels of “Bochica”, where she stumbles onto the true secret the hotel has been hiding: the occult mystery behind the rising Axis powers. Openly confronted by this insurmountable horror, she must decide if she can make the sacrifice necessary to accept her role in the secret history of World War II. But will it be destiny or damnation for Tatiana Marita Ospina, as well as for the rest of the world?

 

Weaving together psychological horror and alternative history with theater of the absurd, A CATCH IN TIME marks the triumphant and genre-defying return of dark fantasist Christopher Alan Broadstone following last year’s SUICIDE THE HARD WAY: AND OTHER TALES OF THE INNERZONE.

 

A CATCH IN TIME also includes two short stories from SUICIDE THE HARD WAY––SMILEYS’ GRAVE and ROSEBLOOD––and also “CHAPTER 19” from the novel PUZZLEMAN.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

By day Adrian is the CEO of a major corporation but in his private life he likes it to be just that private, although he has secrets to his past and present, his BDSM world and club is a stable in his life. Although he doesn’t really love anyone, he develops a soft spot for Brynn and when she gets into trouble he tries and protects her the best way he can.

Brynn is trying to understand what happened to her sister, found dead in the San Francisco bay her investigations lead to Lotus a BDSM Club where her sister enjoyed the lifestyle but was this lifestyle attributed to her death. Once she infiltrates the club and sees inside the world can see shut off her feelings for Adrian and try to get to the bottom of her sister’s murder.

I love all of Anise Storm’s books and this is no different, the intrigue and twists makes this a must read story and you will fall in love with the main characters as everyone loves a flawed somewhat hottie. The book delves into the more sadistic side of BDSM and may have triggers for some people but the author writes with great care and only adds the details which enhances the story and the characters.

I loved the twists and turns and devoured the book in one sitting wishing it not to end but then looking forward to the next book within the series, the characters and story is well developed and flows along brilliantly which you would always expect from this author.

I can’t wait for the next book.

Reunion (The Hellgate Chronicles, #1)Reunion by Jocelyn Lindsay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Meg was the chosen one to save the world while in her teenage years with the help of her four best friends. After 25 years she goes back to her hometown to potentially have to save the world again. I really like the premise of this book since it is different than just a bunch of young adults saving the world. Meg is without purpose after leaving her life in her hometown behind and has to deal with the consequences of being away for 25 years. She has been a free spirit traveling wherever the wind takes her. It was a bit hard to get through the first few chapters due to the amount of events that the reader has to get caught up on to become invested in the story. The story has strong female characters, paranormal, and homecoming.

I’ve read several books by this author and each series/ Trilogy she writes is better than the last. I love how she pulls you into their world and makes you feel like you are apart of the story. The suspense had me on the edge of my seat turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. There’s plenty of hot steamy chemistry between these two. This is Brynn and Adrian’s story. She’s grieving the loss of her sister . She about to uncover some pretty deep and dark secrets her sibling was hiding from everyone. Adrian is a hot sexy man with his own demons. He can have any women he wants but is that enough . These two definitely have chemistry. I don’t want to give to much away. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author and series.

London Detective Agency: The Complete SeriesLondon Detective Agency: The Complete Series by Stephanie R. Caffrey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So far I have enjoyed what this author has offered so far in this series. I hope there are more to come. Each story has its own unique case that is being worked and there is a little love match happening in the background. We have a case of not only mistaken identity but mistaken luggage in book one. That luggage puts Evelyn in such a danger that the PI on the case, Patrick, feels obligated to keep her safe after grabbing her and then letting her go. In book two we meet Tessa and James. Tessa opens a bakery and things are going really well, but she starts to receive threatening pictures and letters. This prompts her to hire PI, James, to find out who is behind these threats and see if they can be stopped. These are fairly quick reads and will keep you turning the pages.

This was a great 5 star read. I really enjoy the enemies to lover reads. I always enjoy reading this authors stories, she pulls you right in with her writing. This is Cody and Cat’s story.

THe pace was great and I didn’t want it to end. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

The Fixer (Fall River, #2)The Fixer by G.K. Brady
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There’s a reason that I’ve read numerous books by this author and keep coming back! They know exactly how to hook you and hold your attention from the very beginning to the last page. This is the second installment in the Fall River series, but you can read it as a standalone if you prefer. This story expertly weaves themes of love, loss, and the struggle between past and present. Joy and Charlie seem to be pretty opposite. I actually loved that the grumpy character was female for once while the sunshine was our male lead. The author skillfully develops both characters, allowing readers to empathize with their struggles. The dialogue crackles with wit an authenticity, letting you feel the chemistry that simmers beneath their conflicts. This is a heartfelt romance with high emotional stakes and plenty of sincerity. I highly recommend picking this up and getting lost for the weekend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve read multiple books by this author and for good reason. They have a brilliant way of crafting a story that pulls you in and refuses to let go. This is the first book in The Fall River series that is full of romance, drama, and adventure. I found myself rooting for both Hailey and Noah as soon as they were introduced. The chemistry between them sizzles and leaps off the pages. The story flows seamlessly, and it is more than your typical contemporary romance. Don’t let the page count put you off either because it sucks you in making it feel like a much shorter book. Pick this up if you’re looking to start a series with some spicy romance that will keep you on your toes!

Reunion (The Hellgate Chronicles, #1)Reunion by Jocelyn Lindsay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m thrilled that my first experience with this author was such a pleasant surprise! This marks the beginning of The Hell Gate Chronicles, featuring Meg as our formidable protagonist with an unbeatable spirit. I instantly connected with her unique, unconventional nature. As a fan of the supernatural, I found the blend of intense action and captivating elements in this story completely addictive!

One aspect that really stood out to me was Meg’s age—she’s over 40, which is a refreshing change in a genre often dominated by younger characters. The narrative flows seamlessly, with events unfolding naturally. Character development is a highlight, adding depth to the plot and making it easy to invest in each character. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next installment!

GadrellaGadrella by Tricia Gardella
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a fun book!! First off, the illustrations in this book practically jump off the page!! They are very brilliant and vivid, very eye-catching and colorful. Next, I love the play on words for this character from the author’s last name!

Gadrella is a witch but she’s tired of the same old look. She doesn’t want a pointy hat or a black cat or all the typical things that a witch is “supposed to have”. She starts to make some changes and at the next meeting, her friends think she is a monster…that is until they try her new potion!

Kids will love this holiday themed book! It’s a great way to talk about differences and how it’s ok to break the mold sometimes.
