Distant Heart Sounds ( Nurse Morgan Series Book 1 ) by Kate MacInnis – Review by Caralee Loonat

Distant Heart Sounds (Nurse Morgan #1)Distant Heart Sounds by Kate MacInnis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well I like finding new authors and new series. This is the first book by this author and the series that I have read and I found it a bit refreshing. The author has made characters that people just fall for. I like how there is a bit of a new lease on life. I like how the main character deals with her new situation.

The author has a unique plot and the characters really jump off of the page for me. I found that I didn’t want to put the book down and was very intrigued by the story line. I will definitely read more from this author in the future and hopefully this series.

Pursuit into Darkness (War of Destiny Book 2) by Theresa Van Spankeren – Review by Kerry Carr

Pursuit into Darkness (War of Destiny, #2)Pursuit into Darkness by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the War Of Destiny Series. I really enjoyed this book. I found it just as gripping and as much of a page turner as the first book. The author does an amazing job of building the scenes and character building. You feel like you are actually there and a part of this vampire family. With this being book 2 I would really recommend reading the first book so that you can follow the story and their characters and dive straight back into the story.

This story starts 70 years after the last book. Julia and Adam are settling into their vampire life and adjusting to being part of the resistance. Things seem to be going smoothly until Valentino returns to England aiming to destroy the threat to his power. That threat is Julia and Samuel.
Julia and Samuel know that at this time they aren’t strong enough to defeat him so they plan to avoid him, but when that plan doesn’t work they have to fight for their lives and the lives of the Resistance.

Will they be successful? Will the omens of death and loss at the beginning of the story come true for Julia?

This is a gripping paranormal read that you literally will not be able to put down. The twists and turns will keep you up reading to see how the story unfolds and who will come out of this the victory.

Romance under Aquarius (Stargazing Series Book 1) by Danielle Jacks – Review by Emily Nolden

Romance Under AquariusRomance Under Aquarius by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Romance Under Aquarius by Danielle Jacks
4 out of 5 stars

Romance Under Aquarius was a quick romance read that I was looking for! With 4 different view points throughout the book, romance and heartbreak Danielle kept you turning the page and never wanting to put the book down.
Follow Maris through her journey of love, finding herself and saving her “hometown”. Maris and her best friend Pasha, her fiancé Ryn and a new found friend Kasper, all take on an adventure together to save Kasper’s brother. Can they solve the mystery, without hurting each other, or keeping their heart safe?
While some of the actions of the main characters makes it hard for you as the reader to like them, overall you become very dedicated and protective over each one. I was a little skeptical of seeing a romance novel written about non-humans (mermaids) and a human, but Danielle did not disappoint. I also loved how each chapter stated qualities of an Aquarius, something that I did not know much about.
While there were many good qualities to the story, there were some flaws. The major one that stuck out to me was how quick things happened. For example (without giving out too many spoilers), another character hurt the main character. The main character would be hurt, but then a few paragraphs later she is over it. No explanation or process of how she was okay over something so big. There were also a few timing issues. As a reader you would have sworn a couple weeks passed, even the way things were described/written it seemed like a few weeks passed. Then all of a sudden, it was only a day, or a night. Which left me thinking, what did I miss?
Overall I really enjoyed reading my first mermaid book, and can’t wait to read other books by Danielle and the 11 stand alone books of this series.

The Cave of Ruin ArsaThe Cave of Ruin Arsa by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to reading this one, and I was not disappointed. I would recommend reading them in order as the storyline, a historical romance with a paranormal twist does continue throughout each novel. This was another wonderfully written and heartwarming story, which had me hooked from start to finish. Ciarán Donnelly is ready to leave his past behind and concentrate on his new life, however, he is suffering from horrible dreams. These dreams seem to be telling him that the long dead priest, Ruadhán, who had entombed him fifteen hundred years before, is now threatening to kidnap his unborn twins, but is he interpreting the dreams correctly.
The dreams and his anxiety about them are putting stress on his new marriage to Caitlin, who believes the dreams come from Ciarán’s own insecurities over becoming a father. After all, the chances of Ruadhán suffering the same fate as Ciarán and having survived over fifteen centuries is very low. But when his brother Aodhán discovers an empty tomb in the Hills of ár Sinsear that appear to have been occupied, it looks like Ruadhán could have survived after all, but if so is he a risk to Ciarán‘s family. The descriptive narrative and the historical details bring both the settings and the era vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the story. The characters are likeable and so well defined that after three books I now feel like they are old friends. An enjoyable and engaging read which is a real page turner and one which left me thinking about it long after I had read the last page.

This is a multi-POV book with an engaging story, and due to this, we get 4 different stories in one! Maris is a mermaid princess looking for more. Kasper is searching for a treasure to save his brother. Pasha wants more than she is destined for. And Ryn learns that what he thought he wanted, wasn’t what he wanted at all.

Morgan is an ER nurse who recently survived a life-threatening aneurysm and is ready to get back to her busy life at the hospital.

Could her head trauma be causing these strange phenomena? Are spirits haunting Morgan? Great story and character development, definite page turner.

The author combines day to day life with the supernatural in a way that makes it seem natural. The character development helps bridge the gap between two worlds by making the reader feel like they know the characters. This book was easy to read and as I finished up, I was already looking forward to the next book in the series. If you are looking for something light with a glimpse into another dimension, this is definitely a book for you!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Morgan is a warm and with character that is written so that you want to follow her along in her journey. She doesn’t know what’s happening and you learn as she’s learning. The characters are all unique from each other and each brings their own brand of wit. If paranormal mystery romance is your preference, this is for you. It’s like a cozy mystery but with spirits. Morgan takes all of these new experiences in stride and is always willing to believe that they are possibly paranormal with a healthy dose of logic. And, of course, there’s Dr. Lightfoot. The romantic interest who can help her navigate this new found life twist. Highly recommended for relaxation reading.

What a fascinating story. Morgan has survived brain surgery with a new talent: the ability to see and hear ghosts. She thinks she is going nuts but nope, she is just special. Savvy and Tiffany, her coworkers, are in on the secret and help her get through work. The new ER doc, Dr. Lightfoot, has some special talents also. He offers to help teach her about hers. There is a spark but due to some bad experiences, this relationship is going to move slow. I am looking forward to seeing how it develops. The doctor and Morgan have already had some exciting “fun” already. Now Morgan, she has more than it seems anyone can handle: live in ghosts (one is a little frisky); premonitions; and a few other items.The drama keeps you on your toes. She solves a few mysteries and sends some men packing. The characters are hilarious, especially the ER coworkers. They are just like that. Tiffany, the desk clerk, reminds me of a few that I have worked with. The descriptions were a little lengthy at times. I would have like more to the stories. Overall, the story had me giggling, especially when Mrs. Whitlock came to visit and when Jonathan tried to grab Savvy. An enjoyable story that gives you some paranormal, romance, mystery, and suspense. A little something for everyone. I recommend this you read this one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Cross of Ciaran is such an original, intriguing story of a New York archeologist that’s trying to find out what happened to a missing fifth-century Celt. Ciaran is said missing Celt that wakes up in modern-day times trying to figure out what is happening and why he woke up in a strange time and place. Fate brings these two together as Caitlin tries to solve this mystery. I greatly enjoyed this book. It starts with a bang and you learn so much about the customs, religions and other things as the world of this book is built and the story moves forward. I enjoyed the plot and could not wait to see what was going to happen next. The story is well researched and it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Compelling and intriguing just as the other in the series were! I simply love the story and how it continues this series, loved the other books in the series, and this one was no different. The author very much knows how to captivate the reader! I always enjoy the book installments in this series!

This book installment captivated my heart and soul in more ways than one! I loved the history we got to learn this time and how it relates to our main characters. There was a lot of detail in this book and it brought on a lot of curiosities within me. There was a lot of talk of the greatest thing being at stake…family! You really saw how much Ciarán loves Caitlin and the family on the way to say. I really felt a lot of feelings with this one, and this one is for sure my favorite in the series so far!

Loved this series so much with a passion! I can never tire of the characters in this series or the story that emerges with them! Loved this book especially! Must read book and series, highly recommend!

This is book 3 in the Cross of Ciaran series. These books have kept me gripped from the very first one. The stories of the characters are unique and really make for a page turning book. The author’s ability to mix historical references in with the story just adds to the realism. Their is a great love story in this book and also a strong sense of family and that you do anything to protect your family from danger.

We are back with Ciaran and his brother Aodhán. Both are adjusting to their new lives and finding love. Ciaran is even due to become a father again just like his pervious life. Things seem to be going smoothly, until Ciaran starts to be plagued with dreams of Ruadhán. Ruadhán is the high priest that killed his first love and also entombed Ciaran. In his dreams he sees that Ruadhán is alive and searching for him.
But its only dreams right? There’s no way Ruadhán came back to life after all this time? Ciaran soothes himself with this knowledge until Aodhán finds an undiscovered tomb with no body inside.

Could Ciaran’s dreams be a warning? Is his new wife and unborn children in danger from the man who destroyed his family all those years before? Does the tomb even belong to Ruadhán or is there another threat the brothers need to be away of?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Cave of Ruin Arsa is a time travel paranormal romance story and the last book in this trilogy. Steeped in history and archaeology Andrea’s passion shines through. Her vivid narrative makes it so easy to picture the scenes portrayed in the story. The Cross of Ciaran is to read and is unique and interesting.

With magic and mystery, suspense and adventure, drama and lies, danger and romance, religious beliefs and Pagan Priests Andrea gives a little of everything to draw the reader in. The story alternates between the fifth century and present.

Ready to leave his past behind Ciaran finds that very same past is once again threatening everything he loves.

4 Stars

 

The Cave of Ruin Arsa is the third intriguing book in The Cross of Ciaran series by Andrea Matthews. This is a paranormal romance- with mystery, magic, time travel, history, adventure, danger, family, secrets/lies, adventure, dramatic developments, and plenty of suspenseful tension.
As this book follows on from the events in the previous book/s, I highly recommend reading them before diving into this one.
Ciaran was hoping that after everything that had happened to him that life might finally start to settle down and move on from the past. But fate seems to have other plans. Plagued by disturbing dreams that seem to point to a sinister force threatening everything he holds dear, Ciaran has some puzzles to work out- especially if he’s to ensure the past doesn’t destroy his future.
Intriguing and well-woven…
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Andrea Matthews!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the series, and it was an excellent addition! Ciaran and Caitlin are expecting twins and Aodhan is preparing to marry Niamh. Both are moving on with their lives like they weren’t born in the fifth century, but the past doesn’t stay buried for long. Ruadhan, their chief priest, comes back to haunt their dreams and appear periodically to them. As the brothers do their best to decipher the dreams, look for an empty tomb that could be Ruadhan’s, and protect their families from a possible devout priest of the goddess, they find themselves doubting what defies reality despite their very presence doing the same. Is the chief priest out for revenge? Is he even alive? Or are they both slowly losing touch with reality?

I am enjoying reading about these fifth century priests learning the idioms of the English language, navigating the “modern” times, and balancing their previous life with the one they are living now. The characters are all written realistically in the sense that I could see them being alive and well today. I love Ireland and how the author writes about the country and the characters. That’s what keeps bringing me back to this series!

I am ecstatic! Here I was thinking this was going to be a trilogy, but imagine my excitement to discover there will, indeed, be a fourth installment in this brilliant series. This novel was likely my favorite so far, as we have gotten to know Ciaran, Aodhan, Caitlin, and really getting to know Niamh, as well as the whole Irish clan that we have come to love. The more we discover within these pages, the more we will be charmed by this authors ability to really bring their world into our hearts and flutter off the pages. The seamless introduction of new characters, the ability to connect with existing and the need to hold my breath while immersed in this literature never ceases to amaze me.

I can just picture this large 5th century Celt holding two wee babies, and the fact that Ciaran and Aodhan might be large in stature but are truly just large teddy bear kids at heart. I very much enjoyed getting to know Aodhan even more, and to be there threw the struggles and troubles that these folks go through in this installment. I very much look forward to seeing some new talents come to light, or at the very least, to grow, and to read about little Fionn and Aisling to grow. I can’t get enough, and have already recommended this series to my parents, they’re excited to read it as well. Amazing work!

If you have read the first installment in this series and were blown away by the story woven by this talented author, hold on tight for this adventure! Our crew travels to Ireland, and they’ve landed much to Ciaran’s relief, as he’s discovered he is not a fan of air travel and are making their way to their new project. I absolutely love when a series picks up where the previous installment leaves off, and that’s what you can expect from this second installment. We have already fallen in love with the characters, and I was so excited to get to know new characters and travel to Ciaran’s homeland with him.

Caitlin and Ciaran’s relationship continues to develop into something more than either of them ever would have imagined, though of course, us readers knew that they were meant for each other from the very first time they met. Be ready for some bumps in the windy Irish roads, more flashbacks, and more questions answered throughout this scrumptious second installment I have always wanted to travel to Ireland, and this author not only brought me there, but encouraged the most vivid dreams I have had in years. Onto the next installment now, cannot get enough. This authors skill just seems to get better and better. Thank you, and highly recommend!

The twists and turns you won’t see coming. A story where you could lose your family to the past. This is a story where the characters take pieces of information and put them together that can alter dreams. The growth of the plot and characters made the story easy to read and entertaining as well. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. I had to know what happened next.

I have been a die hard fan of this series since the first installment, and this one was certainly no different! I fell in love with the plot and the characters in the first, and I think I simply loved this one even more!

I loved the action and the appeal this book gives to the reader. I loved the story in the first, but this one was different, but in a good way. The writing had its appeal and its own darkness at the same time. I loved Julia even more in this one. She is such a great character, strong willed and very resourceful. I could not put this one down, I just kept on reading. I turned each page with quick pace as I read as I was hooked that much! Loved this book and series so freaking much! One of my favorite series for sure!

Wonderful writing by a very much gifted author. I can not get enough of this series and this one really impacted me greatly! Must read book for sure and I highly do recommend! Loved it truly!

Pursuit into Darkness is the second book in this dark vampiric paranormal, fantasy story. I really like Theresa’s writing style and her unique tales. I have been waiting to see what Theresa had in store for her readers after the first book and I thoroughly enjoyed the narrative. Pursuit into Darkness has a gripping and engaging plot that takes place 70 years after ethe first book. It is full of so many emotions, lots of action, twist and turns. I said it with the first book but I will say it again the characters are well written and well developed. The world building is artfully built and exceptionally crafted. The vividness allows us as a reader to enjoy every nuance of Theresa’s storytelling. Theresa has built a solid foundation for this skilfully woven, multi layered and exciting story.

I am giving nothing away as Theresa’s writing needs to be devoured by each individual so the story is drawn by your own imagination. I am off to get the third book, Between Darkness & Light (War of Destiny Book 3).

This book is full of paranormal suspense and intrigue. The struggles abound. Julia is with Samuel and the rest of the ka-tet llving out their lives. Valentino enters the picture and all heck breaks loose. Her soulmate is killed by him, as well fellow members of the resistance of vampires. The storyline is very engaging. I was pulled into the action from page 1 and couldn’t put down until I finished it. Julia is very strong-willed. She feels she is weak but she fights for what she feels she must do to protect those close to her. The characters are well-developed. The chemistry between her and Samuel is very up and down. It’s like a waning candle but you always feel the spark that is constantly there. The mystery around Kali kept me intrigued as well. That young girl knew more than she should. This is a fun book for fans of paranormal or fantasy. I highly recommend it.
