Rose

My name is Rose Wolfbane. Being a wolf is my legacy. But what happens when an enemy coven of witches twists magic to distort such a gift?

My coven and I now live by the moon’s phases, and transforming into a wolf is no longer a choice. If we want to break the curse and take back our magic, I must pretend to be someone I’m not. Navigating the Dutchmen’s lands won’t be easy, but my people are counting on me.

My enemy, the prince of the Dutchmen coven, is searching for a wife, and I’m going to use this to my advantage. I can’t afford to fail, but what if I’m attracted to the prince’s darkness?

 

Titan

I don’t want a wife, but I have no choice. I must conceive a child before I take on my family’s responsibilities and my time is running out. The current amplifier of my realm’s magic is my father, with the help of a rare moonstone, but with every day that passes, the magic consumes him. He’s dying, and it’s my burden to become the new holder of the precious gem.

When Rose shows up in my realm, something changes deep inside me. I’m no longer focused on what I should do. Instead, I’m questioning my future.

Soul Redeemed (War of Destiny Book #5) by Theresa Van Spankeren – Review by Angela Hayes

Soul Redeemed (War of Destiny #5)Soul Redeemed by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Soul Redeemed is the fifth book in the War of Destiny series by Theresa Van Spankeren. As each book in this series builds on what has come previously, I highly recommend reading the first four books before starting on this one, because they all come together to creating a ‘bigger picture’, not to mention they are all great reads, providing hours of entertaining adventure to plunge into.
This is an original, clever and intriguing paranormal saga with vampires, action, adventure, high stakes, politics, agendas, atmospheric world building, danger, intrigue, tense developments, violence, and plenty of suspense.
I am really enjoying this adventure- and Ms. Van Spankeren raises the stakes here for us, and the characters- bringing even more tension, dramatic developments, and intrigue- in a high-stakes race against time which kept me glued to the pages to find out how everything would play out in the end.
Can’t wait to see what Ms. Van Spankeren has in store for us next!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Theresa Van Spankeren!

I did nothing but read this book since yesterday. Determined to finish it. I had so many questions and my curiosity had to be fulfilled. Zoey is amazing. The way she protects her loved ones. I can see why she had a hard time letting anyone in. Tristan took me a bit to warm up to. On one hand I understand his desire to take some of that burden away from Zoey but at times it came off forceful.

Amazing. This is the first book I have read by the talented Amanda Uhl, and I found myself up way too late this morning unable to put it down. Told from the dual perspectives of Lillian and Tristan, this book is sure to make you fall in love from start to finish with the characters.
Lillian Milano has been hiding under an alias for two years, Zoey Mills, away from her family alone to protect them. When her younger sister Hannah is suddenly sick with a deadly virus, she risks everything to return to Cleveland to help her. While at the hospital doing all that she can she meets the computer tycoon Tristan King, while leaving the room of a little girl. Tristan King is the most eligible bachelor in Cleveland but meeting the mysterious Zoey gives him a mystery to solve that will forever change both of their lives. The connection between them is instant, neither understanding why they are so willing to share things that they usually keep bottled up. Tristan, while skeptical, is willing to take a chance when evidence is in front of him in two cases that Zoey (Lillian) is more than she appears to be and truly has some kind of gift for healing the sick. What starts out as a confusing but mutually beneficial agreement quickly turns into something deeper. Lillian’s mother was murdered by Kinetica, a genetic research and testing company that used her mother trying to make “super healers”, but she escaped leading them to finish her off but not before she was able to warn Lillian who fled her home and her family. Tristan being so focused on her notices that she is frightened and not just about her “friend”, seeing her physically become ill with fear when face to face with Dominic Raines the CEO of Kinetica he begins to have more and more questions calling his security company and friend Brian Townsend to investigate her. Leading to even more questions which are tangled with their deep feelings that build.
Lillian can save her sister but what will happen next? Has Tristan found a miracle worker that can help his mother? Will Zoey (Lillian) and Tristan be able to give into their hearts desires and get a happily ever after that neither thought was possible? While the world the author creates is one of reality the sprinkles of the paranormal and supernatural leaves you searching for more answers. The characters are perfect, their different facets that make them more complex than they appear on the surface, the way both felt the same, but fear and skepticism kept them trying to deny their hearts. I could not get enough of this book and didn’t stop until I had reached the end with all the answers we were searching for. I can’t wait to read more from the amazing Amanda Uhl and look forward to Hannah and Brian’s story.

This is my first book from Amanda Uhl and what an amazing first it was! The very first page grabs hold of your attention and never lets go. I couldn’t put it down and devoured the whole book in a matter of hours. The flow was natural and there were plenty of details that made the characters feel so real. I was entirely too invested in Lillian and Tristan throughout the entire book! It gets quite emotional, but definitely worth the read. I highly recommend picking this up, especially if you are a fan of the paranormal and romance genres!

Lillian Milano isn’t like most paranormals in her world. She takes energy from the healthy to help heal the sick. This power puts a target straight on her back and puts her and everyone she loves in danger. All of her fears are put on hold when her sister becomes deathly ill, and she’ll do anything to help heal her.

Tristan King is, in short, a billionaire. After being burned by his ex, and with his mother dying, he doesn’t want or need another relationship.

Tristan is so full of life and energy, exactly the energy Lillian needs, and she’s got something he needs as well: a single night with no attachments to get his ex off his back.

I devoured this book. It was so fast paced, emotional, humorous, and full of excitement. I really hope this is the start of a series, because I’d love to read more in this universe!

Lillian is so loving and caring for everyone around her and Tristan is so calm and collected. The two balance one another out nicely. Definitely a great read, I’d recommend to anyone who loves the paranormal!

Looking through books to read, I was so intrigued with this plot that I had to give it a try. A mix of supernatural and romance, just my cup of tea! It starts with Lillian, who has a magical healing ability, and tries using her skills in healing her sister. She ends up bumping into Tristan King who may end up being to help her heal her sister. In turn, as they become more familiar with each other’s situations, they end up helping each other out but only to have secrets unravel. I truly enjoyed this book. Related to Lilian’s spirit. This story captivates the reader from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go till the end. Very much worth the read!

This was an enjoyable and engaging paranormal romance which kept me hooked. Nurse Lillian Milano has the paranormal ability to channel energy from the healthy to heal the sick. However, her unique gift is wanted by an organisation that wants to exploit this talent. Due to the danger both her and her family are in Lillian went into hiding, but then her sister becomes gravely ill, and she needs to find someone with enough vitality to save her. Billionaire computer genius Tristan King is that person, however he does not believe in the supernatural. Lillian and Tristan make a bargain, she must pose as his date for a hospital fundraiser, in the hopes that his lying ex-fiancé will finally leave him alone, and he will help her. Tristan’s mother is also dying and as the pair work together to save their loved ones they can’t ignore their mutual attraction. However, Tristan remains wary of falling in love and Lillian is worried that her secrets and her identity will be discovered. I liked the main characters as both Lillian and Tristan were likeable and relatable, and their chemistry came across in the narrative. The storyline flowed well and was a good mix of drama, the paranormal and romance.

This is an enjoyable paranormal romance which focuses on Lillian and Tristan. Ultimately a story about love, both romantic and familial, as they both fight to save their loved ones.

I loved the character Lillian – she’s so strong in the face of the danger, and risks everything for her sister. Her determination to save her is admirable and I think her fears and desires are written well.
I got very invested in the characters’ stories and the outcome of the events they go through.

I enjoyed the writing style used in the book, it was easy to follow, and valuable information was drip-fed at the perfect times to make it feel more real and aids the story. The author built chemistry between characters so that it was almost tangible, and I couldn’t get enough!
This was the first book I’ve read by the author, but I’ll be on the lookout for more!

Healing Kiss tells the story of a nurse named Lillian who has been on the run from an evil corporation who wants to use her as their guinea pig. To save herself and her family she faked her death and took on the new name of Zoey. Lillian/Zoey has healing powers that the evil corporation, Kinetica, want to monopolize on for their own gain. Lillian knows that if they capture her, she will be dead because they killed her mother. When she finds out that her sister Hannah is dying, she risks her life to come back and try to save her sister’s life. When she gets to the hospital, she discovers that she does not have enough energy to save her and needs to find someone she can draw energy from. Enter Tristan, whom Lillian meets by accident outside the hospital. She strikes up a deal with him without telling him the true reasons she needs his help because she is fearful of Tristan’s reaction. Rather than tell him about her healing powers she makes up a story, but secrets have a way of coming out eventually.

I loved how this storyline was laid out and the author’s writing style. The story was about more than two people meeting and eventually falling in love. It was also about the supernatural gift that Lillian had which came at a risk to use. Lillian’s gift of healing powers was one that intrigued and fascinated me. It was unfortunate that she had to hide it and herself from those that intended to bring harm to her and her family. I enjoyed the aspect of the evil corporation being after Lillian which added a bit of danger, suspense, and intrigue to the storyline. The characters were well written and the way in which Lillian and Tristan meet is quite believable. Fate brought them both together for a bigger purpose. I enjoyed how the romance slowly builds between them and the attraction between them grows. This was a beautifully written love story with supernatural elements, mystery, suspense, intrigue, danger, secrets, and lies.

This is another winner in the series. Julia is still working through her issues and now she has to figure out how to work her talents and other items. The writing is strong. The characters are each so unique and I love how they are, because they come from different units and somehow mesh well together even with some mistrust. Julia is strong and has come through so much. I love how she has grown throw the series. The storyline is interesting and grabs you. This really isn’t meant to be a standalone as you may be lost if you try. This author does such a terrific job with her books that you just can’t put them down.

It’s hard separating yourself from your family in order to protect them. This is something Lillian aka Zoey knows all too well as she hides from the Kinetica Organization, which continues to seek her out in order to study and replicate her abilities for their own gain. When Hannah, her sister, becomes gravely ill, Lillian/Zoey will do whatever it takes to help her, even if it means risking herself and letting others know about her gifts.

Is seeing believing? Billionaire and skeptic Tristan King sees her heal a young girl without really realizing what she’s done, though something about her has piqued his interests. The sparks between Lillian/Zoey and Tristan are evident from the start, but will acting on them derail the healing of her sister and his mom? Can she really save their lives by harnessing his energy? Will they ever let their walls down and be able to trust and believe one another?

This is a great paranormal read. Amanda Uhl has a way with words that will pull you into the story, making you completely invested in these characters’ lives. She is definitely going on my author go to pile with amazing books like this. I can’t wait to read more of her work. If you love paranormal romances with suspense, secrets, and great chemistry, then, this is a book for you.

Mysteriously vague at just the right amount.

Healing kiss is a slow burning romance that unravels the past the open a future. Lilian, left home under the guise and new identify of zoey. Rushing home to save her sister she meets a Tristan. Strong dependable, loyal and madly in love with her everything she dreamt of but she can’t have him. Zoey pushes Tristan away protecting him in fear of her discovery. Zoey inadvertently brings the risk of death by association. She desperately wants a normal life. But is that something even possible for zoey Lilian ?

This book is slow paced, the world building is good but leaves me wanting to know how things happened in her past to connect the dots at a faster pace with more understanding. The plot unfolds based on the main characters realization and situations. There is a spicy scene and does end in a happy ending with an epilogue hinting at a potential future book. I’m excited to see if the author continues a sequel based on Lilian’s sister Hannah

This is my first time reading a book from the author Amanda Uhl. I really really enjoyed reading it. Although it doesn’t have the usual supernatural beings you’re used to in these types of books, but it was just as good. And the power they do have is super interesting and unique. The authors did an amazing job pulling you into the intriguing world she has built. Also the attraction between Lillian/Zoey and Tristan is just the chef’s kiss. I would highly recommend this book to everyone, just make sure you have free time lmao you’re not gonna want to put this book down.

The First Sin (South of Eden) Audiobook by Lisa Beth Darling – Review by Amanda Glaspie

This was an interesting take on one of the most well known biblical stories, Adam and Eve. If you are looking for something that expands on this classic biblical story, this is not the book for you. The character development was strong that even I was cheering for Lucifer. This was an exciting and interesting listen. Just know, you must go in with an open mind.

I will preface this review with the advice of if you do not enjoy religious interpretations or texts to be altered or stray from the original form, this book is not for you, and I would advise you not to read this. It’s a work of fiction and is to be read with that in mind for enjoyment.
I was raised Catholic and absolutely loved this paranormal romance!

I love the way that the author has brought together the Christian elements and the Olympian elements in a way that makes sense. I enjoyed the way the story was told, occasionally jumping back to provide glimpses into the past.
I also enjoyed the way the narrator voiced the characters with emotion – it brought the author’s descriptive writing and characters to life.

The characters were constructed very well, each of them given their own distinct personalities which suited their roles.
I thought making the Olympian Gods and Christian God siblings was creative and created many humorous and interesting dynamics which were made believable.

I absolutely hated Adam, the author did well to create that feeling through the viewpoint of Lucifer so quickly.

I loved Eve’s sass when facing God and her strength in everything she faced however there were parts in which she frustrated me (her indecisiveness when it came to her romantic relationships for example).

Ares I have mixed feelings about, he’s caring (at times to the point of irritation) but also stubborn yet desperate? That’s the only word that comes to mind there. But I think I’m mostly annoyed by him because of my love for another character.

God a.k.a Chuck was written in a way that fits so well with the story of sibling rivalry – it made sense to me that it was written this way and although I was annoyed by some of what He did, I could see how His personality and family history led to it. The story would not be the same or as good if He had been changed in even the tiniest way – I am in awe of how well the author tied everything together through Chuck.

My absolute favourite character from beginning to end was Lucifer. Made out to be evil but cared for humanity, was fair and just and was punished for it. If I was Eve, there would be no question who my heart would go whole-heartedly to. I can’t give away too many reasons I love Lucifer in this book without revealing spoilers, just know he is caring, smart and fair. He deserves better.

I could rave for days about so many more characters and ways the author wove together an incredible story with surprises, manipulation and complexity, but revealing any more will give away spoilers and you really must experience this for yourself.

I loved it and I will be seeking out more by this author. Extremely talented!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can first say this story is very creative and I would also recommend if you are Christian like I am… please keep an open mind. I really enjoyed this story and it quite surprised me.

This take on the story is Eve, who is cursed by God but now has to return to the Garden of Eden and her need to do some healing. Eve is strong and as independent as she can be…including Lucifer, who also returns to the Garden of Eden and is also trying to navigate his way….especially knowing Cain has his own agenda.

This Creation retelling is unique, different and intriguing. I love how the author mixes in different characters including Cain and Ares and just seeing this story is a different perspective.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the fifth book in a series. Like the others in this series, I would not read as a stand alone book or out of order. That being said, I have read all five books and loved this book and the entire series! This book centers around Julia and her point of view. I think as a female character, I liked her struggle to give voice to her feelings and to allow herself to grieve. I think many women can relate to those issues. There was a character in the last two books, Lane. I actually missed him in this book. But, I enjoyed the continuation of the characters and that their struggles that don’t just magically end by becoming a vampire. There is an aspect of self harm for Julia, that some readers may need to know about before reading. I also felt her struggle to stop the self harm behaviors is accurate and relatable. I loved the book. I love the series. It is a fantastic read and well worth the time!

As a fan of mythology, I enjoyed seeing how the author intertwined the Christian God and the Greek Gods together. I am a Christian, but I still listened to and enjoyed this book. I didn’t see it as blasphemy or anything of the such, but as an interesting fictional story.

 

Lucifer has been yanked out of Hell and sent back to the Garden of Eden, where Eve is in charge. Eve, who was cursed by God, is now trying to heal the Garden of Eden along with some other immortals (Greek Deities). It is a shock for Eve to see her old love Lucifer again, especially with a jealous Ares hovering around them. This is an interesting retelling of the First Sin and paints the characters involved in a very different light to traditional Christian teachings. That is why I reiterate that it is a work of fiction to be enjoyed and not to be taken as a strike towards any Christian teachings. It amazes me how creative the author is, making twists and turns in the story. The only possible negative was that the narrator had such a soothing, low toned voice that it almost lulled me to sleep when I listened for a long time.

Courtney Davis has such an easy to read writing style that I get completely immersed in her books every time. With her phenomenal character building and interesting twists on fantasy classics like angels, demons, and fae, she has definitely become one of my go-to authors to follow.

Jade literally has her whole life turned upside down as she enters witness protection in order to be safe from her abusive ex who wants her dead. As if having to adapt to a new place, name, and life isn’t enough, she is faced with the dilemma of trying to figure out if she can trust Baal, the high-level demon from Hell who showed up and also wants her dead, or at least he did. The chemistry between these two is off the charts, causing Baal to second guess his agenda of murdering her because of the prophecy tying them together. Are prophecies set in stone or can they be changed? Can you really trust a demon? Can Jade figure out and come to terms with this new world she’s been thrust into? Can a demon like Baal really love someone or will his goals of freeing his sister and reclaiming the throne of Hell overpower his attraction and developing feelings for Jade? This is an exciting, fun, fast-paced fantasy paranormal read that will have you glued to the pages. I was honestly sad to see it end and can only hope for more amazing reads like this.

Healing Kiss is the first book I have read by this author so I did not quite know what to expect but this was a beautifully written book. Between the mayhem, romance, and emotional heartstrings that are pulled I couldn’t put this one down.

Lillian is a healer, her gifts make her an excellent nurse, but with a gift as valuable as it is they also make her a large target for Kinetica. A large corporation looking to essentially bottle her DNA to use to gain power and make money. Now Hannah, her sister, is gravely ill and after a chance encounter with Tristan, Lillian discovers he is the only one she knows with enough vitality for her to draw off to heal her sister. Tristan doesn’t believe in the supernatural at all but with his own mother dying and other conflicts in his life he strikes a deal with the intriguing nurse. The problem is as their relationship grows their secrets become closer than ever to being discovered. Can they manage to save their loved ones while keeping everyone in the dark about their abilities?

This is a magical, slow burn romance, that had me turning pages until the very last one. There is enough action and events that happen to keep the reader engaged in the story even as they wait for the romance to blossom. I really enjoyed this book and will definitely take a look at others this author has written.

Awakening. This is the first book I have read by the talented Courtney Davis and oh boy do I still have chills. Told from a dual perspective, Jade, and Baal. A perfect representation of making your own fate in many ways, not following the “order” of things because its prophesied.
Jade is a 30-year-old female that has finally broken free of her abusive, mobster ex by way of turning into a federal witness to his many crimes. Baal is the first King of Hell and is determined to get his throne back and live to see his sister free. Her parents died in a car accident when she was eighteen years old, just as she was beginning her adulthood, but little things she remembers them doing odd habits and almost ritualistic ways begin to make sense after she wakes up to a stranger who vanishes. Baal goes to investigate the old antique shop when his warding’s indicates that someone is present and it’s not a human. Seeing her laying in bed knowing who she is according to the prophecy he knows he should kill her but then an opportunity arises. He has no time to dance around truths or to be gentle with the world-shattering news, telling Jade he knows she is not related to the late Mr. Williams, saying “the Williams family blood stinks of old troll magic. You smell delicious, and pure like freshly fallen snow.” Jade’s parents had a very powerful binding spell placed on her at birth to hide her powers from all including herself. With a rare set of powers unlocked in Jade, Baal is more and more intrigued with her knowing she can be more useful than he ever expected. The only thing that saved her life the moment Baal wanted to kill her was her ignorance, not knowing who or what he was, and not knowing what she is. His blood calling her me makes a promise to her while she is sleeping that she eventually will be his. She feels ignited in many ways; feels alive every time he touches her no matter how innocent the touch is. The only thing driving them is their goals, his having the book translated, and return to his rightful place; her goal is to survive her evil ex and all his associates that won’t hesitate to end her the moment they find her.
Will Jade learn the truth of who she is? Can Baal hold up his part of the deal to protect her from all dangers, human and not? Prophecies are meant to be broken right? The world the author creates is so original, yes, the world itself is reality but all the hidden parts not only in the shadows but in the light. Seamlessly the author weaves reality into fantasy with the plot and every little twist and turn the story takes. I have been terrified of snakes for as long as I can remember but now, I must admit I am crushing on Baal, the best crushes are the fictional ones. I cannot wait to dive into more of her work and discover another world of her creation.

The Serpent and the FireflyThe Serpent and the Firefly by Courtney Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love paranormal and fantasy books, so I had high hopes for this one right off the bat. I’m happy to say that Courtney Davis knocked this out of the park! Everything about The Serpent and the Firefly makes me want to leave reality behind and just stay hidden in their magically crafted world. This story flows so perfectly that it played like a movie in my head. It was easy to tune everything out and lose myself in Jade and Baal’s lives. I feel like fans of urban fantasy and the supernatural will adore this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the book and the authors writing style. This is an urban fantasy that has non-stop action with a realistic feel. With the excellent writing and attention to detail the characters and plot really made me feel like I was there in the story. The story is filled with prophecy, magic, shifters, Fae, other supernatural elements, demons, angles, secrets, danger, revenge, drama, chemistry, romance, humor, quirky moments, and sooooo much more. Literally everything you would want in a book to keep you captivated. The MC heroine’s character has their entire life turned upside down and is faced with all new challenges and rules. I would say that some characters are morally grey which are always my favorite. The heroine is attracted to the bad guys and trouble always seems to find her. One of the main struggles she faces is her ex putting a hit out for her, so she must go into witness protection. So many ulterior motives mixed with love and prophecy.

Definitely a fan of Courtney Davis’s writing, and will continue to read her books! Also, will recommend this book to anyone wanting an excellent magical read that transports you out of reality!

Soul Redeemed (War of Destiny #5)Soul Redeemed by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Theresa continues to impress me with this original high stake’s series. Soul Redeemed is another unique continuation and the fifth book in the War of Destiny series. Make sure you start with Lost Souls book one in this epic series and work your way through each one as the build on from each other.
Get ready to devour this dark vampiric paranormal fantasy story. The characters are well written have depth and well developed. Theresa’s world building is skilfully built and carefully crafted. The plot is fast-paced and is as gripping as it is engaging.
It is a multilayered tale full of action, tension, intense danger, intrigue, imagination and twist and turns that you will find hard to put this book down. Once again, the vividness allows the reader to enjoy every nuance of Theresa’s storytelling. Soul Redeemed is built a solid foundation that has been skilfully woven into an exciting story.
I am not going to share the details because Theresa’s words need to be taken in like a fine wine to let you draw your own picture through your own imagination.
You don’t want to miss out on this epic series.
