Lingering Spirits (Soul Connection Book 4) by Nikki Lynn Barrett – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Lingering Spirits (Soul Connection, #4)Lingering Spirits by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this fourth installment we focus on Hope and Russ. While I missed Scott and Zelda being the main couple, this story had its moments that it shone. Hope can communicate telepathically with people and she does so with Russ. The authors writing style really makes a difference in this type of story. The twists and turns, the emotions and details all make such a difference. This story will get you in its grip and won’t let go even once you are done reading it. I am so looking forward to book five as this one kinda ends on a cliff hanger. While others are saying you can read this as a stand alone I would suggest reading the first three books because you miss so much background and so many emotional details that take this new installment to another level. Now to wait for book five…

Spring’s Showers (Romantically Seasonal Series) by C.A. King – Review by Jenni Bishop

Spring's Showers: Romantically Seasonal: SpringSpring’s Showers: Romantically Seasonal: Spring by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a Valentine’s Day Rom Com and the first book in this series, one for each season. There are gods, celestial beings, mythological creatures, meddling immortals, and a whole lot more that makes this a fun read. This new adult paranormal story is a quick enjoyable read.
Mother Nature thinks knows best but she made a mess of things by forgetting one fundamental thing.
Cupid is not about to lose not when it comes to love. The others have underestimated him and his arrows for too long.
I look forward to reading the next book in this four-part series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was purely amazing, the plot was original, the characters were amazing, and the attention to detail was phenomenal. Personally I loves everything and anything mythology related and this book definitely delivered on that. The God’s all seem to think that cupid’s job is so easy that anyone can do it. But what happens when Cupid proposes a bet that if a different God can make a true love match he will take over their job for a year? Four God’s take the bet and in this installment Mother Nature is up first, will she succeed or will she see that it isn’t so easy and Cupid will have to step in? Well you’ll have to read this fantastic story to find out for yourself.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. I liked how the author mixes mythology and romance. The stories are entertaining and the characters engaging.

In this book we meet Cupid and the other gods. The other God’s think Cupid’s job is easy. I mean how hard is it to make 2 people fall in love? So Cupid sets them a challenge. Each of the other God’s will take turns to try and make 1 couple fall in love. If they succeed then Cupid will do their job for a year. If they fail then they have to publicly admit that Cupid has the hardest job. First up is Mother Nature.

Since its Spring time Mother Nature is first to take the challenge and she soon realises its not as easy as she thought it would be. Firstly she is acting like a mortal which means no magic and secondly as we learn throughout the book she has no idea what to look for when it comes to love.
Will she be able to make a true love connection? Or will she lose her bet with Cupid?

Class Clown by Allan Evans – Review by Trisha Cargile

Class ClownClass Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Class Clown by Allan Evans is part of series, of which I didn’t realize therefore I didn’t read the first book. This book itself stood out on its own as a singular book; however, I feel like some of the characters back story may have been explained in the first book which would have helped understand the background a bit more. For that reason alone, it took me a bit longer to get into that most books and is the reason I chose 4 stars. That being said, this book was absolutely an exciting, interesting read. It’s as though it’s inspiring to be a horror novel, but not quite on the Stephen King level as it wants to appear more towards the young adults. Overall, this captured my attention and was a phenomenal read.

Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl – Review by Gabrielle Lee

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lily has lived her life under the cruel rule of the wolf pack and its King. Her life changes the moment the wolves take notice of her. Their cruelty brings everything to the forefront and soon her life is thrown into chaos when she crosses paths with the prince of the pack.

Claiming my mate is just the beginning of Lily’s tale. Wrapped up alongside Lily’s adventure are the threads of many other sub plots. Readers not only get a romance but also the threat against the hierarchy and the court intrigue. I enjoyed watching the way Lily begins to blossom and find her place with her mate’s support. While each of the characters have strong personalities, I did not find myself connecting with them enough to get lost in their story. The plot is good, but I found the characters to be one dimensional and did not feel the emotions through out this story. Although this may not be my favorite book the author has woven an interesting tale in this first book of the series, and I am interested enough to see what happens to the characters.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Fast paced four-star read that leaves me wanting more. I don’t know how to rate this one as at times it pushed ever one of my buttons, but by the end I did want to know what’s next. I liked the meeting; it was so much better than I expected after where the story went initially. Lily and her journey start off rocky, but the hope is there that it gets better, Jason was a character that had so much thought into it, sometimes a little too much as the expense of others, but overall, a good character that made me smile. It’s a nice story that will sweep you away.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in this series and what a great start it is. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. Her books are engaging, well written and just hard to put down. This book is no different. It is a romance story about two people that will show you that growing flowers and a growing relationship may not be all that different. Cupid is out to prove that his job is harder than it looks, especially when he has four new challenges. What happens next you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters. They have great growth and chemistry that made the story fun and entertaining to read. They made the story come to life and really pop into your heart. This is a shorter story but it really packs the romance in and had me coming back for more. This made such a great read that filled my afternoon with romance and fun. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack Book 1) by Nicole Howl – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claiming My Mate is a very accessible, engrossing, and interesting novel. Lily, a slave, has been treated poorly her whole life, and suffers even more abuse near the beginning of this novel. When Prince Huntingdon meets her in the infirmary, his wolf is drawn to her immediately. As the future king and alpha of his pack, he is expected to marry for economic and political reasons, not love. But he knows in his heart that this young woman is his soulmate. Although Lily has been trained to be meek and subservient, she surprises the Prince (and everyone else) when she stands up for herself at parts in the novel. She becomes more herself as the novel winds on, and grows into the person she was meant to be.

I really liked this book. The characters were interesting and dynamic, and the plot moved forward with good pacing and turns. The novel does resolve itself at the end (no cliffhanger) but I could definitely see how the story could be furthered in future books, as I hope it does. Great read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All I can say is wow. The author delivers again in this installment of the series. Every time I read a new book in the series I’m captivated all over again. The author has a way of connecting the reader to the characters and story that is always meaningful and brings life to the story. I feel like it can be challenging to actually connect to a paranormal story, rather than just be entertained by it, but this author very easily draws a reader in and connects them to her stories in a way that is unmatched! The series build on itself very nicely and this story is just as unique as the previous books.

Hope and Russ connect in a way neither of them have experienced before, but why? Truths come to light in this page-turner! Highly recommend!

Lingering Spirits (Soul Connection, #4)Lingering Spirits by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW! I read a lot, it’s kind of my happy place. I’ve read good books, bad books, helpful books, books that taught me that holding on to reach a real turning point is amazing and books that have taught me it doesn’t matter how long I wait, that will never be the style for me. THIS book, though…really wowed me. I read it cover to cover in a day. I LOVE paranormal books, I love fun, carefree romance, I’ve discovered I enjoy a decent amount of MC books, all sorts of things. This book really reached out to me and pulled me in, with all of the beauty it offers. Well written, inspirational, romantic, paranormal, action packed, includes beautiful characters and the prose makes me feel like I’m reading something that a person who really knows what I need to hear is writing this…I’m running to find books 1-3. I could NOT put this down. While I was lost in places that I think would have been assisted by reading the first 3 books, it didn’t matter in the long run (although I’m sure many aspects would seem a little clearer) – I was enthralled.

Hope has the gift of telepathy and has spent her life “tapping into” people who need her assistance. Once she helps lead them through their needs, she disconnects from them. Russ, though…Russ is different. Hope doesn’t just hear his thoughts, she hears EVERYTHING. The noises surrounding him, the whole works. She even sees what Russ is seeing. It’s all so new to her. And for Russ, having this voice in his head is not something he is familiar with, either. Is it his conscience? Is he losing his mind? Why won’t she just GO AWAY? Eventually, they bond with one another. Once it is revealed why and how they are connected, this book goes from wonderful and interesting to phenomenal. I could talk about this book all day, that’s how much I enjoyed it – but I highly recommend it. I cannot imagine regretting reading this book.

The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla) by S.B. Alexander – Review by Vanessa Watts

The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla, #1)The Hunted by S.B. Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So this is a paranormal, enemies to lovers, military romance. This book is packed full of action, snarky characters, and a whole lot of excitement.

We start out meeting vampire Navy seal Sam Mason, whom is not only a vampire but is one with extraordinary abilities that makes his blood worth a pretty penny. Layla is on the opposite side, she is a vampire hunter who takes on a job that will lead to a huge payout if she can finish it. The last thing she expects is the vampire she is supposed to capture alive to be drop dead gorgeous with abilities she knows nothing about. Not only that but she lands herself and her sisters in hot water with the only person who can help her is her nemesis Sam Mason. Can they work together to save Maddie’s sisters or will their feelings get in the way? One thing is for certain Maddie cannot get Sam out of her head so much so he just might be the death of her.

If you like enemies to lovers romances with snarky heroines, and cocky military types then this book is definitely for you. I could not put this one down and managed to read it in one sitting. It is that good!

I am no stranger to this gifted author, when ever I pick up anything by them that they have written, I am immersed and hooked on the engaging story they create! This book was no different!

In life, we all want to prove or selves one point or another don’t we? What if what we had to prove, meant putting anyone who pitted against you to the test? Romance and seasons go hand in hand, is love as easy as some thing, or does it bring on more hardships than we care to admit? These were things I asked myself as I read. I loved the story, and it is the 1st in a 4 part series, and I was hooked from the character introductions. There was good character development, and certainly kept me on my toes wondering what would happen next. Really good read and I for sure very much enjoyed this one!

Highly recommend this book with no questions to be asked! It is a must read for sure, and not one to be passed up. I am looking forward to reading the next installments in the series! Loved it!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This trilogy boxset had me laughing and crying all throughout the books. So much so that I had to stop reading it while at my daughter’s dentist appointment because people were staring at me. This set pulls you in and keeps you engulfed in action throughout the whole trilogy.

Maddie Hawthorne is from a very prestigious witch family and is starting to get annoyed by the looks she receives at school for doing a small part in protecting her town from the ancients. Little does she know that this school year will be nothing even remotely normal as her abilities will be tested and new abilities uncovered. Aiden on the other hand is a wolf shifter and automatically at odds with Maddie. Something is pulling them together even though his future is already laid out due to familial obligations. As they are continuously thrown together there is an unmistakable force that intertwines their futures together. Can they move past their own feelings and obligations to see what the future holds for them? Also how does Maddie’s new talents play in with the ancients awakening and attacking the school? Can she harness her new abilities to save everyone she cares for or will she be a pawn in the Ancients’ plan to rule?

This was definitely a five star trilogy set that I managed to read in one full day. It was too good to put down. If you like enemies to lovers books filled with different magical beings and lots of action then this book series is for you!

If the authors name; Nicole Howl, wasn’t enough for me nothing would be. A new author for me and goodness where do I begin. The story of Lily and Jason had me shaking, had my mouth dry and my heart pounding hard. Once I began the book I couldn’t stop if my life depended on it. This was incredible. Everything I could have possibly hoped for in a shifter romance. When it ended I was literally out of sorts. I need more, all of what Nicole has to offer me. Palms still sweating and if you’re considering reading this you need to do it. You won’t be disappointed in the SLIGHTEST! The perfect blend of romance, chemistry, angst, despair and thrill.

Beelzebub The Gift of Gluttony (Sinful Seven, #2)Beelzebub The Gift of Gluttony by J.C. Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was amazing. Even I feel that is an understatement. There was so much character growth and things hidden beneath the surface of this book and the author’s writing was enticed, shocked, and sucked in completely, body and soul! I could not get enough in any shape or form

What I loved most was reading and learning on who and what Beelzebub is. He was a demon yes but alone with his power this was much more to him. Learning of the other’s like him was very intriguing as well. Personally I loved Clara. I identify as a empath myself so it was nice having a character to read on that I could relate to on a personal level. The story takes off quick, and the darkness of Beelzebub really came to light. I was enticed all the way through. I had trouble setting this one down. it was so good. The writing and story line was beyond amazing. I cant wait to read about the other powerful demons!

Freaking good read that I very much enjoyed! I highly do recommend this book, it was a quick read for me, and I was amazed and mesmerized as I read through. Cant wait to read more by this author!

Lingering Spirits (Soul Connection Book 4) by Nikki Lynn Barrett – Review by Wendy Wary

Lingering Spirits (Soul Connection, #4)Lingering Spirits by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this as a standalone, and life really got in the way of me engulfing this book like I really wanted to. Finished it in about a day and half, despite my objections to other obligations that kept me from reading it straight through. Seriously had a difficult time putting this one down.

Hope has a gift for connecting telepathically with people, usually for her to help them in some way, and since she doesn’t choose the connections, it’s not initially apparent why she’s connected with Russ. After a couple of months, she’s still struggling to figure it out while Russ starts to get annoyed with her ability to read his every thought and her questioning of things he’d rather leave in the past while revealing very little about about herself to him.

Along with the ability to connect telepathically, Hope is confused as to why she’s suddenly developed a new ability to see through Russ’s eyes. Add in her unclear premonitions and the stresses of a life lived in secrecy, and Hope becomes overwhelmed when her own safety is threatened. All she knows is her connection with Russ is different and she finds herself more invested in his life than she should be.

When life and death hang in the balance, the pair figure out that Russ might just be the answer to helping Hope leave her life of hiding behind once and for all, if she can learn to trust him with her secrets. Lots of ghosts and other paranormal activity, and close friendships, help the pair navigate through their lives as they face peril.

I was thoroughly engrossed in this novel and the original story line full of mystery and intrigue. Great writing, wonderful characters, and lots of drama. It’s taken me a couple of days to decompress from this one.

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lily has grown up as a servant in the castle of the Alpha of the Wolf Hollow Pack. Her days are spent keeping her head down, avoiding eye contact with any member of the royal family, and doing her chores. After an attack on her from one of the king’s guards, her life takes a turn that she never saw coming.

After an attack from rebels lands him in a hospital bed, Jason (the prince) is shocked when his wolf wants him to protect whoever else is in the infirmary with him. When he learns that it is one of the humans that works in the castle, he is confused. But, there is more to this human girl than it seems…it’s his mate.

Jason finds himself fighting to the death for a chance to claim his mate…despite his mate’s protests. But, there seems to be a lot more at play here than we know. Can Jason win the battle? Is there a bigger battle brewing?

This book was a relatively quick and easy read. Lily is definitely a lot stronger than she lets herself believe…and I am hoping more of that shines through in the next book. There are also enough secondary characters that could potentially have their own storylines in future books. Overall, a good introduction to a new series that I am looking forward to following in the future.

This book was a book that I enjoyed a great deal as it was in the view of the demon, but he is not an ordinary demon. He is one of seven and they are all super powerful. He is to tempt the people with gluttony. I liked when it showed that he was tempting people and it also went into detail about their guardian angels working to not let them be tempted by him. He looks for people who have already been touched or tempted by the other of the seven deadly sins as this makes his job of tempting people that much easier. This was a book that surprised me and had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what I would read next and see where this went. I cannot wait to read the other books in this series!

I now understand why there were a few people that I know that read this book that refused to read it at night. I was one of them, and furthermore, had to make sure that my partner was at home at night rather than at work before I read this fingernail bite inducing novel. The way that the author really digs deep into developing Abbey’s personality and thoughts is incredible, and you do feel as though you, the reader, are inside her head without a doubt. Despite the fear and terror that is pulled from these pages, there is also a lot of happiness in the connections, friendships and her relationship with her family, that bring the story all together. In some spots, it felt like I was reading an episode of ‘Supernatural,’ and it pulled me in even more.

Walking on Sunshine is one of my favourite songs of all time, not just from the 80’s, so I know this author has some great tastes to include the musical encouragement for the characters throughout the novel. I did, however, find that this novel felt to be a bit long-winded, though understandably so in order to really get the reader on the edge of her seat, it just was a bit much for me. I fully intend to read Abnormally Abbey as soon as I have the time and look forward to learning more about her and her backstory. Overall, a fantastic read, and I would recommend to anyone looking to have the hair on the back of their neck stand up, well done!

Spring’s Showers ( Romantically Seasonal) by C.A. King
Genre – Romantic Comedy, Paranormal

Cover Designer – Fantasia Cover Designs
They were gods.
They were celestial beings.
They were mythological creatures.
It didn’t matter what they were called. Names were merely a reflection of the current age and occasion. Throughout time, there was only one constant: a strong dedication to their own worthless pride.
Wars were fought… humans suffered… tricks were played… and all in the name of competition; a way of determining a hierarchy amongst themselves.
The strong thrived. The weak suffered.
He was at the bottom of the totem pole; taken for granted and ridiculed. Enough was enough. It was time to climb the ladder, aiming for nothing but the top. There was only one way to accomplish that goal.
The gauntlet was thrown. The challenge accepted. Respect was at stake, pitting deity against deity in a winner-take-all competition.
Cupid shed his stereotypical persona to bring about the bet of the century. For once and for all, he was going to prove helping people fall in love was, is, and always would be, the hardest job.
Four challengers stood at the plate, ready to swing. But would they actually find a way to bring about the romance of Valentine’s Day in their designated seasons?
In book one of this four-part series of standalone books, spring has sprung and Mother Nature is laying it all on the line. Nurturing flowers and growing the love between a couple can’t possibly be all that different, right?

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl Book 1

This Werewolf Fiction Romance starts with a young women named Lily who has known nothing but slavery, she is naturally timid, quiet, selfless and loyal. Lily serves the Wolf Hollow Pack and is treated horribly by the guards, pack and King but through it all she finds her mate.

First few chapters is just building her character, getting to know her personality and laying down the foundation of the storyline, little did I know there would be so many twists and turns.

Lily finds herself in a bad situation with one of the guards that leaves her, broken, scarred and violated. Luckily a member of the pack finds her in her panic and brings her to the royal hospital where she awaits questioning from the not so understanding King and merciful Queen.

From there fate intertwines and her mate is revealed…. Or so we think.

This book is romantic, dark and actually quite witty, I love how much Lily’s character grew in such a short time.
I did not expect the ending at all! quite a cliffhanger, I can not wait for book two come out and read more about these two main characters and how they grow together as mates.

I loved it! I hated the cliffhanger, I don’t want to wait! I’ve always had a thing for vampires. This type of vampire novel is not usually my thing but I gave it a shot. I’m so glad I did.
The Hunter fell for the one that was being hunted.
Sam Mason, a vampire navy seal, has his stake out interrupted by 3 human women. Well little does he know those 3 women are from a well known vampire hunter family. Who do they want, none other than him?!?
Layla had no idea what she was getting her and her sisters into when she took the job. They needed money and this was the fastest way to get it. Trying to take Sam Mason hostage doesn’t go as planned. It also changes their lives.
Get ready for a roller coaster of feelings between these two. Besides the domino effect the failed mission on both accounts leads too.
I can’t wait till book 2 is released!

The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla) by S.B. Alexander – Review by Kerry Carr

The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla, #1)The Hunted by S.B. Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow I really loved this book. It has everything I love sexy vampires, hot attraction, and danger around every bend and twist. The author does and amazing job of infusing all these elements and still keeping the story unique.
The story is definately about opposites attracting with Sam who is a vampire and Layla who is a vampire hunter. Their attraction to each other is instant and very hard to deny. But things aren’t just complicated by this fact.
Layla has been hired to kidnap Sam but she’s not sure who she had been hired by. When the kidnap attempt goes wrong and both Layla’s sisters get caught, 1 by Sam the other by Sam’s enemy.
The only person Layla can turn to for assistance is the one person she doesn’t know if she should trust. Sam.
Can they work together to get rid of the threat towards Sam and save Layla’s sisters? Or will their attraction mean they both get burnt and lose it all by giving into their passion.

Class Clown (Ghost Girl Series) by Allan Evans – Review by Wendy Wary

Class ClownClass Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book works well as a standalone if you haven’t read the previous books in the series, like me. There was enough context to understand the story line without it being distracting from the current plot.

This was a captivating story, making it difficult to put down. Not only did I want to know who or what was behind the clown parade that seemed to overtake Pine Ridge High School, I was intrigued to figure out how it all would come to an end.

Abbey is a spook magnet who discovers the ghosts of dozens of clowns have infiltrated her life after a visit to the traveling circus. When two of her classmates disappear with clues the clowns are involved, she sets out to make sense of her puzzling and sometimes terrifying interactions with the clowns. Along the way of solving the mysteries, Abbey forms new friendships, helps a couple of other ghosts (unrelated to the main plot) find closure, and tries to live as normal a teenage life as anyone can who sees and interacts with ghosts on a regular basis.

The Thunderbird Academy Trilogy by Valia Lind – Review by Carlie Del Gallo

The Thunderbird Academy TrilogyThe Thunderbird Academy Trilogy by Valia Lind
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Thunderbird Academy Trilogy contains all of the books in the series, which is AMAZING! I love reading series and as soon as I saw this boxset, I had to read it. This is the first books that I have read by this author, and I was not disappointed! I was reading these books and staying up super late as I had to know what was going to happen next. This book is a paranormal YA romance book boxset that is magical and filled with great wording. If you are wanting to fall in love with another great book set and love buying all of the books at once, then these are the books for you!
