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.
When a hunting expedition doesn’t go as expected and family comes for a holiday visit, having good aim is important.
Mayor Cora Mae Bingham is planning a Thanksgiving dinner for the entire town of Spicetown! What could possibly go wrong?
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:

When she’s not writing, you can find her reading, listening to podcasts, traveling, or spending time with family.
N.D. Jackson spends her days (when she’s not working) wandering the streets of whatever European city she and her husband find themselves traveling to or living in, creating new characters and new worlds for her novels, and her nights are spent creating delicious vegan meals and whipping up not-so-fancy but tasty cocktails for loved ones. A Chicago native, she currently lives in Romania and has slowly started to travel again, adding a new stamp to her tattoo (Rome!)!! Other interests include true crime and history documentaries & podcasts, hiking and kickboxing.
Since she received her first library card at the age of 7, not a day goes by she doesn’t read a page or chapter. Or finish a whole book. Her first novel, Conflict of Interest was published in 2014 and she has been entertaining readers with tales of love and romance ever since.

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?

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Courage series just keeps getting better and this book is no exception to that. Beefy is learning how to deal with his emotions and rather than taking things out on others, his new friends invite him to help them.
The illustrations are great and the story is wonderful.

Book 2 in the Fall River series and I honestly had no idea it was the 2nd book in the series. I really enjoyed watching Charlie and Joy overcome their differences and work together on this project that was Joy’s moms home/business. This book was one that I couldn’t put down.
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.

London 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. These two have a connection that you can feel coming off of the pages. These two had me LOL at times with their bantering. Their story was so well written and I wanted to see them get a HEA.
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 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!

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!

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!

Gadrella 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.
