What an amazing book! Before I started reading I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this book. I was honestly blown away. This was such a fantastic book – great characters, a great story line and just so well written I didn’t want to stop reading. I thought the story was original and exciting. At times it felt like the pages were turning themselves. I was so engrossed by this book I really didn’t want it to end. As the First book that I have read by this author it was the best type of introduction. I cannot wait to read more.

This is a really enjoyable book. I thought the author did a great job of mixing the past and the present together. It flowed so easily and made it more engaging for the reader. The characters were easy to connect with as well. I believed in their journey right from the start. I think the author has created and interesting book that is effortless to read and is thoroughly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend.

Tess has risked everything she has to open her vintage clothing store called Divine Vintage. She has always had a love for fine clothing from past eras and chooses to put her love for vintage clothing into something that she can pursue full time as more than a hobby. With the opening of her boutique, she is introduced to Trey and his elderly aunt when they come into the store during Divine Vintage’s grand opening. Trey’s Aunt offers Tess the opportunity to attend a fashion show wearing a beautiful gown from the Edwardian era that had once belonged to one of her ancestors. During the fashion show Tess is overcome with visions of the young girl Phoebe who had last worn the gown. Tess is struck with visions of the young girl’s murder and is determined to solve the crime that occurred centuries ago. Seeing the murder through Phoebe’s eyes makes Tess realize that there was maybe more to the old stories about Phoebe’s husband who was accused of committing the murder.
Trey is a descendant of the young bride Phoebe who was murdered a century or so ago. The brutal murder of Phoebe by her new husband has tainted the family’s legacy. Trey does not necessarily believe in visions or the spirit world but with a little bit of coaching from his mother and his aunt, Trey reluctantly agrees to help young Tess. He too wants to clear up his family’s legacy. Tess and Trey start reading Phoebe’s diary in the hopes that they can find clues as to who her true murderer could possibly be. As they read through the diary, they find several people that could be suspects. With their growing time together Tess and Trey start to feel their own connection to one another but become confused by this connection. They do not know if it is because of their connection to the couple whose lives they’ve been able to see through visions, or if it’s their own feelings for each other.
I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed this book. I read it from cover to cover and found it impossible to put down. I was immediately drawn in by Tess’s love of vintage clothing. I was even more drawn in by the diary entries and by Tess being able to see through the eyes of Phoebe as though she were there herself. I loved the feelings and the brief visions that Tess was able to pick up from the vintage clothing when she touched them. I was fascinated by how she was able to get a sense of who each person was that had previously worn the clothing. I love history and I’ve always loved old buildings and wondered what the story was of the people that live there. Naturally, I found the concept of Tess seeing past lives of those who had worn the clothing very intriguing. I would love to be able to do the same by touching an old building or an old piece of clothing. What a unique and special ability to have.
I’m really hoping that they author has plans to pursue the adventures of Tess and her bond to the vintage clothing. I would love to read more stories where Tess is presented with visions of the past owners of the clothing, and she is able to solve past mysteries. I think if Trey were to come along for the ride it wouldn’t be so bad either. Trey was a likable character and despite his wealth was a down-to-earth guy with a good heart and good values. Perhaps the two of them could team up and see what new adventures the spirit guides of the vintage clothing take them on. A must read for anyone who loves history, vintage clothing, and a good old-fashioned murder mystery.

I really enjoyed Divine Vintage. Tess has recently opened her dream vintage clothing boutique when she is asked to model a gown from the Edwardian period. At the event, Tess is overcome with visions of the murdered woman who had worn this gown on her wedding night. We are taken into an adventure of Tess and Trey, who ultimately begins experiencing his own visions from this night. Together, they begin piecing together the mystery of who kissed the bride. I love how all the characters intertwine with those past and present. You are swept into two different romances and the mystery is an added bonus. My only regret for this story is I wanted more of the past reflections that Tess and Trey experienced. Very good story!

Divine Vintage by Sandra L. Young – Review by Allyson Ware
As a mystery lover, this novel enticed me right away. A very quick read, but very detailed as well. The characters are easy to get to know; as if I had already met them from prior books in the series. We all know that cannot be true because this is the only book in the series. These characters just melt your heart right away and the author does a fabulous job of capturing your attention until the very end.
I am not much of a romance reader, but this book had just the right amount of mystery along with the romance tied in which kept me hooked. This novel also has a happy ending, which I can appreciate. The author has struck my intrigue and I definitely plan on reading more of their work!

This book was a good mix of modern day romance, mystery, and metaphysics. The characters were relatable and likeable. I really liked how well the main characters related to their occupations and how knowledgeable they were in the subjects.

This has got to be one of my top ten books I have read thus far. This book has history combined with murder, old flames, and possibly new love the author did a wonderful job weaving it all together into an unforgettable journey.
First we meet Tess who has just opened her own vintage clothing store despite the negative connotations from her ex. When in walks Trey with his grandmother that sets off a trail of events that neither could have predicted. Tess is invited to model an Edwardian gown from a Dunmore ancestor. This opens Tess up to having visions through the eyes of the bride of her murder that happened in 1913, whose dress Tess is wearing. Trey is not impressed with having visions of the past but with the possibility of clearing up tainted family history and getting closer to Tess he begrudgingly agrees to help. As more of the story unravels and a couple other characters become intertwined with the past, will Tess and Trey ever truly figure out who killed the bride? Are the visions and emotions from the past imprinted on Tess and Trey or are their feelings for each other truly real? This is a must read book that will keep you guessing on who the murderer was. Can you figure it out before the characters in the book? You’ll just have to read this to find out who dunnit and if Tess and Trey get their happily ever after!

This is a very unique murder mystery. I haven’t read a book like this before and I was completely captivated with the story. The characters are amazingly written and they completely come to life. What i love about this book is how it flips from modern day to historical and how the twists see the past meeting the present.
Tess love vintage clothes. Every time she touches something she is transported back to that time having visions about the person who owned that item. When she dresses up in clothes for a celebration party the vision she has is of the young woman and her murder. Now wanting to unravel the mystery and get the full story Tess sets out to find the truth. Was the young woman murdered by her husband? Did he then take his life because of that? Or was someone else involved in the murder? Can a crime committed over 100 years ago finally be solved and the ghosts of shame finally laid to rest.

I love a good mystery, this one was different in a good way. I found there was so many connections, and wonders as I had read through. I could not get enough, I could not put this one down, and see what progressed and what was to happen actually. It was very well written!
Really loved the interactions between Tess and Trey. They both had a special gift, and could see things that could not be explained. To how and what to connect them, was the true matter of the question. I loved the courtship that was between them, and how they both were stubborn in their own ways, I loved the fine details as well with Tess’s clothing shop! I felt I was transported to the Victorian Era wand was enjoying looking at the fabrics she had for sale! Wonderful descriptions! All the characters Tess and Trey interacted with as well were just as intriguing and wonderful, and a pure joy to read about. enjoyed solving this mystery with the characters! Defiantly will be reading more by this author!
Wonderful experience of this mystery. I did not want this book to reach it’s ending. It was well loved by me. I loved the author’s use of writing as well. As said, will be for sure reading more by them! I enjoyed this very much. Highly recommend this mystery that is simply put, nothing short of amazing!

This was an interesting read! Not the kind of story I was expecting, even with reading the synopsis. It was an entertaining story with various threads of suspense, crime, action and other elements woven throughout the story. While I enjoyed reading this one it wasn’t my favorite. I felt like I had some trouble getting into the story and staying enthralled. It was hard for me to escape during this book. I liked the characters and it was a very unique (in my humble opinion) spin on shifters but I just had trouble concentrating with this one. I wouldn’t be opposed to reading from this author again in the future and maybe I’ll like the next one just a little better!

I enjoyed this historical mystery. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed her writing style and attention to details. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters. They are connectable and engaging. I enjoyed how they brought the story to life and made the story fun and entertaining to read. This is a well written story about Tess and Trey. They find themselves in the middle of trying to find a murderer. As their list of suspects grows, so does their relationship. I enjoyed their chemistry and growth throughout the story. This is a great suspenseful story that is fast paced and hard to put down. It is worth the pick up and I highly recommend it.

What a powerful and timeless romance. Tess owns a vintage dress store and meets Esther, a sweet older lady, who asks her to come model a vintage bridal piece at a fundraiser. Trey is her handsome grandson. He will be wearing the groom’s tuxedo. Somehow, the house has a sad mystery and Tess channels the primary participant. Bam, we now have a romantic suspense. She wants to prove that the “killer” didn’t do it. She enlists Trey’s help in more ways than one. Terrific paranormal plotline. I love the characters. We have homeless fights in the town going on (do we get rid of them or let them stay). Issues from any town. Makes the story feel real. Esther and her friends are cute. The plot twists are great. I love how the memories are blended in and not choppy. I highly recommend for anyone. Click that buy button. You’ll be happy you did.

It’s late and I’m still not ready for this book to end! Alas, I have finished it and there is no more adventure for Arahna, Dag and Jonah. I don’t know what it is about the alpha attitude and the snarky female comebacks; but, I love them and I want more!!
Aranha is the last of her kind and as much as she resembles a spider (I’m terrified of them), she was a character I could root for and relate to. She’s just surviving with her clingy, adopted werewolf until she meets Dag and then her content life of hiding in the shadows is not possible anymore. Dag is a daywalker vampire that’s just floating under the radar as much as he can until Aranha walks into his bar one night; and then it’s all he can do to keep himself in check as he tries to win her affections and protect her at the same time.
I loved this book and really hope the author gives us more of Aranha and Dag. I didn’t want to put this book down from the very beginning and got to experience the butterflies you get when you read smitten characters. The steam was tasteful and very well written and I want so much more!!

This was a great read! I am a huge fan of the author! I seriously love their work, but this one was a different take I found, and it was a damn good read. It had the humor and the craziness I truly live for! If you have never read this author before, you must for sure read this book by them!
Lockwood King was a treat for the visual of your mind. The way they were written, really gave the story the funny moments as well as the laugh out loud ones, and those moments where you raise an eye brow and wonder did I just read that kind of thing. There was never a dull moment in reading this one. I had a lot of fun, and reading this in one sitting was a perfect way to start my day!
Thank you to this wonderful author for such an amazing book. I do highly recommend this book, it is a fast read but for sure an enjoyable one. One that you can go back and easily read again! I most certainly recommend the author as well with no doubt. Freaking amazing author and writing!
I really enjoyed this book! This author was a first for me but I can say with certainty that it will not be the last book of hers that I will read. I found the writing and story line to be fast paced and very entertaining and the characters relatable.
Aranha is the last of her kind, a spider shape shifter. Being one of a kind can prove to be very lonely. Enter Jonas, her adopted werewolf son who helps to give her life a bit of purpose and companionship. They thought having each other was all they would need until Dag, a daywalker, entered the picture.
This book was a rollercoaster for me and I didn’t want it to end. I hope this series has many more to come!

When I first started to read this book I expected it to be along the same line as other paranormal books but it completely surprised me. It’s very interesting to see other characters besides vampires and werewolves. This book draws you in from the first chapter and keeps giving you twist and turns until the very end. You will not be disappointed after reading this one.

I was hesitant about this story. But I love vampire stories so I gave it a try. I was so glad I did! What is in here is a wonderful story with characters that make the reader care and worry about them. I am completely surprised how much I love this story! The writing is smooth and easy to follow along. I was pleased with the movement of the story.
The characters are down to earth and realistic…to an extent. I enjoyed learning about the life of Aranha and the hardship she has endured. When she collects her adopted son, I couldn’t have been happier for both of them. Dag was a surprise and I enjoyed him and his friends.
Overall this story surprised me and made me look forward to diving back into it after a long day. I wouldn’t hesitate to read another by this author.

I am definitely drawn to paranormal romance stories and this one did not disappoint. I have read Angel lore before and it is one of my favourites to read. This one was an interesting (in a good way) take on that lore. The author was able to write in a way that made the reader really feel invested in the characters and empathize with them. I was very enthralled, and it kept me on my toes. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes paranormal romance but even more for those who love Angel Lore.

Tess Burton is always up for an adventure. She’s risked her inheritance to open Divine Vintage, a clothing boutique. While modeling an elegant gown from an Edwardian-era trousseau, her mind is opened to a century-old murder. Visions–seen through the eyes of the murdered bride–dispute local lore that claims the bridegroom committed the crime. Trey Dunmore doesn’t share Tess’ enthusiasm for mind-blowing visions, yet the appeal to clear his family’s tainted legacy compels him to join her in exploring the past. Aided by the dead woman’s clothing and diary, Tess and Trey discover that pursuing love in 1913 was just as thorny as modern-day. As the list of murder suspects grows, the couple fears past emotions are influencing, and may ultimately derail, their own blossoming intimacy.
Sandra L. Young’s love of vintage fashion inspired her to write her debut novel, Divine Vintage. She’s gathered an impressive collection spanning the late 1800s to 1980s, wearing pieces onstage through years of performing in community theater. She also sports it out on the town for special occasions. To round out her love of the arts, Sandra sings with a trio, a praise band, and at karaoke nights. She draws from these experiences in her writing, as well as her work focus in communications and nonprofit management.

No matter where she goes, USA Today Bestselling author Nikki Lynn Barrett hears voices in her head. Instead of calling her crazy and locking her up, her family realizes it’s just a product of being an author and allows her to write the stories so that the voices shut up.
But they don’t. And probably never will. There’s no need to lock her up, Nikki knows she’ll never escape the voices, not until each and every last story is written. And for every story she writes, about ten or more ideas pop up.
When she isn’t slaving away at her computer writing books that will probably make you cry and keep you in suspense, Nikki plots to take over the world one book at a time. What? It’s a sickness. One she can’t escape!
Books aren’t her only addiction, though. Nikki can be found making up parodies to drive her son crazy, and bantering back and forth with her husband, who somehow manages to steal her away from the fictional world she lives in all the time.
Nikki lives in Arizona with her husband and son, where she can be found using every creativity outlet she can find through music, photography, handcrafted things, and random interests that she may pick up from time to time.
Naomi Valkyrie, often called a Firebrand Provocateur, brings her unique Autistic perspectives and curiosities to life by weaving tales of deep connection, mystery, and romance. She is inspired by being able to spontaneously create a thought that takes on a life of its own, opening up new adventures for her readers.
The Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy realms are particular areas of interest for Naomi as they allow for the vast exploration of magic, adventure, and the impossible while creating diverse characters that her readers connect with on an emotional level.
When she isn’t attending to familial connections, Naomi loves a dark, comfy reading space surrounded by the symbolism of her spiritual archetypes and her daemon/familiars, while she sips her Starbucks tea and immerses herself in imagination.
An Interesting read from a new to me author. It pulled me in with the writing style and kept me interested with the characters and story telling. I am looking forward to more by this author in the future and would recommend to anyone that likes YA Paranormal reads! Happy Reading!

I love romance stories that involve the battle between good and evil, with some magic, danger, and suspense mixed in. This book did not disappoint in any of these areas! This was the first book I have read by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last. The characters were relatable despite it being a paranormal romance and the author’s way of describing the world they live in keeps the reader turning pages to see what happens. The chemistry between the main characters had me invested in the story and in their relationship. This is the first book in this series, and I am looking forward to reading the next one, as well as other books written by this author. The beautiful, vivid language in this book is a must-have for any fantasy fan.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started reading a paranormal story about a spidershifter. I was pleasantly blown away by the depth of the character who was so much more than my initial thought of “just a spidershifter”. I don’t hate spiders, but don’t have a specific love for them either. This novel gave me a different perspective and new appreciation. I hate reviews that give spoilers, so I won’t go into depth about certain elements. However, there are so many fully fleshed out characters in this. From Aranha to Jonah to Dag, even Lars. I’m deliberately giving zero context on these characters, so that you can go into them with your own thoughts. The story has multiple layers and is, thankfully, not a one note storyline. I love that the author switches between perspectives, it really adds to the “flawed narrator” aspect while giving you a true picture of the situation. You can see why one character would read a situation one way while another will see it completely differently. This is the first book from Courtney Davis that I’ve read, but it was engrossing enough that she has now been added to my (literal) list of authors that I hunt down every month to see if a new book has been released or announced for release. I really need A Spider in the Garden to be the first in a long running series. Basically, if you love paranormal stories like Anita Blake, Rachel Morgan, or Mercy Thompson, this will definitely be worth your time.

This book caught me in it’s web and I couldn’t and didn’t want to break free until I finished it! I have never read a shifter book about spiders before and I am so glad I gave this one a chance! It was so good!! I said “one more chapter” until 1am and I was done. LOL! Aranha is the last of her kind. She’s a spider who is forever on the run from other super naturals who thought they killed out her kind long ago. She only preys on the worst people, so she can stay in the shadows and not draw attention to herself. Dag is a daywalker and one of the last ones left. His species is a dying bread as they have lost their only companions in the world with no other way to have children. Aranha walks into Dag’s bar and Aranha’s web spins out of control. She’s not sure she can trust him and he needs her help. Can a daywalker earn the trust of this scared spider and save a human from the vampires? They can’t believe that one another even exist, so working together might prove to hard. Aranha has only heard tales and doesn’t know what to expect from another species from The Garden of Eden. Dag sees a future for the first time in centuries, but will he scare her off before he can even explain? Boy oh boy, does this one just crawl up your spine. I for one would love to see this book turned into a movie! Hoping for more! I can see a great series with this one!!

This is one of my absolute favorite topics, and to see it covered in such an expansive way is such a treat. This definitely isn’t what you would expect at first glance, and has so much to offer. As a reader I found myself quickly immersed into the character’s growth, being able to relate on a really personal level. I love the feeling of getting lost into a good book, and this read was no exception!
The author’s ability to build the world along side the characters is second to none. If you are a fan of angels, a love story, distraction from reality for a bit…this is an excellent choice to pick up. Plus, who doesn’t love a good paranormal romance?!

This book was enjoyable. Stories about angels falling in love are always a fun read because it allows individuals the opportunity to see angels as not that different than us. Cathy and Daedriel’s story was fun to read as we are taken on a journey of them finding each other and falling in love. I look forward to seeing more from this author.

Unlock the Angel is the first of the Seraphim Angel Order series by Calla Zae. Cathy Lu owns her own business and has decided to make expansions to here home for her business. Just coming off a breakup she decides she will work on the project herself while she is looking for a contractor. Enter Daedrial, a seraph, is on earth searching for a betrayer who just so happens to have experience in building. Daedrial offers to do the work for Cathy in exchange for her help, but doesn’t explain with what. As the two spend time together, both realize they are interested in the other. Will Daedrail’s commitment for finding the betrayer stop him from going after what he wants? Will Cathy be able to admit her feelings and pursue them? It’s worth it to find out. I absolutely loved this book. The characters are interesting and have depth. The descriptions of the worlds make you feel immersed in them yourself. I did feel there were a few things that could have had more description but I have feeling that they will probably be expanded on in the books that follow in the series. I would highly recommend reading this unique take on the Angels and their worlds.
