Vengeance (The Sundown Series Book 5) by Courtney Konstantin – Review by Jenni Bishop

VengeanceVengeance by Courtney Konstantin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vengeance (The Sundown Series Book 5) by Courtney Konstantin is a YA Sci Fi paranormal story. This dystopian post-apocalyptic tale is a dangerous and emotional journey and great addition to this series. I have said it before but I am not a zombie lover, but Courtney has made this story unique and the plot different enough to entertain me. Courtney’s story is an original twist with lots of action and danger, drama and is so very engrossing. Her superb word smithing and vivid writing style, is very descriptive and makes it seem like you have been immersed in the story and fighting to survive. I had to keep turning the pages because I needed to know what was happening next.

Max is our MC and Courtney certainly puts her through the wringer.

If you love a thrilling and intensely gripping, then this is one for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Third Time’s a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After, #3) by Carrie Pulkinen is a fun paranormal rom com mystery thriller (try saying that drunk). I am in love with this series as it is nonsensical and has just the right amount of sizzle. Carrie knows just how to draw in her audience with her fantastic writing and characters that are well developed, quirky and lovable. It’s easy to get lost in the paranormal world that she creates as she always gives us a little something extra. It is great entertainment.

Trent inherits a house from his surly ungrateful great uncle. After visiting the house he decides that he needs to say goodbye to it ASAP which brings him face to face with the temptress.

Tina agrees to help Trent sell the house but it soon it becomes apparent that the house comes with a little something more.

Unfortunately, this is the last book in this series, but I look forward to the next ghostly feel good tale from Miss Carrie.

Another fun paranormal romance by Carrie Pulkinen, with a ghostly twist. Gage Dawson is an IT genius and a paranormal investigator but he is terrible at dating. However when he meets childhood best friend Erica again he is determined to tell her something that he never did in high school and that is that he loves her. Erica Miller is a Psychic medium who is struggling to make her haunted community theatre into a success. When Erica has problems with a ghost and it starts effecting her health she turns to paranormal investigator Gage. She is shocked to find that her once nerdy best friend is now rather sexy and neither of them can deny the chemistry between them. They just hope the spirits won’t come between them. I enjoyed this friends to lovers romance and loved Erica and Gage’s characters and how their relationship developed and changed throughout the book. The attraction between them definitely came across in the narrative and led to some steamy scenes. The storyline flows well and the plot kept me engaged in the story from start to finish. It can be read as a standalone story although the characters do pop up throughout the series of books. This is a lighthearted read which offers some real escapism to the reader and Pulkinen has become one of my favourite authors.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vengeance by Courtney Konstantin is the fifth book in Sundown Series. Don’t worry if you haven’t read the other books the author sets this up as an excellent standalone. Max is on a dangerous path and coming back from being tortured. Can she handle the pressure that is mounting more and more? I really enjoy Max because she is strong-willed and determined. The story building of a dystopian future is well done allowing one to be taken into the story. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read a dystopian book at the moment with the pandemic going on but this actually was well done and didn’t disappoint. I have only read a few of the books by this author but I will be looking forward to reading more of her books in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the last of this series. While I liked Gage and wanted his ever after…I can’t say I loved this book. It’s a second chance romance with some ghost issues. The story just didn’t call to me but it could others. I didn’t feel connected to either character other than the evilness from the mirror. It was easy (for me) to figure out how this one would go. The characters seemed indifferent. While Gage is a good secondary character he needs more to hold his own as a lead. His sisters did not really add to the picture.

So overall I usually enjoy this authors imagination but this one fell flat for me. It just didn’t grip me and make me not want to put it down. The evilness in here made this one a little dark. Not my cup of tea but it could be yours.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vengeance is the fifth book in the Sundown series. It can be read as a standalone. The author does a good job of weaving in important backstory so you don’t feel like you are missing anything.
This book has everything you’d expect in a post-apocalyptic tale, include a variation of zombies. Overall, I would say this particular story is really more about the interpersonal relationship development of the characters as they get prepared to go after an old enemy. That being said, it does have plenty of suspense and danger mixed in to keep things moving right along. There are also some emotional moments that will get you right in the feels.

This is the third book in the Haunted Ever After series and it is another great book. I love the mix of romance and paranormal. The characters are really well written and easy to feel a connection with.

Erica is a psychic medium who has taken over her old teachers theatre after she dies. The business is in trouble so Erica is working hard to put it on track. She had plenty of experience with spirits however when this spirit in her theatre starts to become more of a poltergeist then she knows she needs help.

Gage is the man for the job. He also had experience dealing with spirits and also helping them to cross over so when Erica  asks for his help he accepts.

When emotions return Gage realises he’s never gotten over his one true love in Erica. Will she return his feelings? After all this time will they come together? Or will the spirits have other plans for them?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Traveler: Chimera Rising (The Book of Eleanor 3) by Shannon Nemechek was a good 4 star read.

We start where book 2 left off, Katie and Colm are in 1692 Scotland working on a mission. There is so much that goes on,you will fly through the pages.

Will they fulfill their mission?

We get so much in this read magic, danger, mystery and so much more. We get several twists and turns that will throw you off. The secondary characters added a great element to the story as well. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I highly suggest reading the first two books in the series before this one. 1-click and get started today.

“Trent ascended the stairs, stepping lightly on the creaky wood panels to avoid putting a foot through the floor. He slid the key into the lock and twisted the knob. The hinges creaked as the door swung open, the knob pulling from his hand as if someone on the other side yanked it from his grasp…..
He peered inside. Hollow darkness greeted him. Haunting. A shiver ran down his spine, and it wasn’t from the chilling winter air whispering through the trees. The whole scene creeped him out.”

 

Second Chance Spirit: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance is the second book in the Haunted Ever After series by Carrie Pulkinen. This is a superb paranormal romance- with ghosts, paranormal + supernatural elements, danger, mystery, tension, wonderful characters, chemistry, and a whole lot of sizzle.
Trent Austin, whom we met in book one- being the best friend of Logan, has just inherited a dilapidated estate from his recently deceased Uncle. The old Victorian mansion certainly has a creepy, menacing vibe- and Trent couldn’t wait to get rid of it.
Tina Saunders, whom we also met in book one- being the best friend of Allison, is the best realtor in the area- and is who Trent calls to help off load his Uncle’s estate. These two have some recent history- so the spark between them doesn’t take much to reignite. Add threats, sinister and creepy vibes, danger, drama- and a whole lot of steam… and this story just wouldn’t let me put it down.
This story could be read as a standalone, as each book in the series focuses on a different couple. But having said that, I really recommend reading the three books together, as there are recurring characters to meet- as well as fantastic storylines that you would miss out on otherwise.
As I have mentioned many, many times previously- I have developed a severe addiction to Ms. Pulkinen’s stories- but it’s an addiction that I am more than happy to indulge- so, no rehab needed!
Highly recommended for all paranormal romance lovers!

Thank you, Carrie Pulkinen!

Second Chance Spirit (Book Two of the Haunted Ever After series) by Carrie Pulkinen was a great read! This series I think just gets better and better. I can’t tell which I like the most so far! This author does a great job with the humor, and romance and steam, without overdoing it. The storyline was amazing and so were the characters. I absolutely loved seeing more of Tina. She was definitely a favorite character from the first book. Pulkinen is quickly becoming a favorite author, and I can’t wait to more of her books.

The Traveler: Chimera Rising (Book Three of the Book of Eleanor series) by Shannon Nemechek was a really good book! This series has become a favorite for me. Not only with the history aspect, but also with the romance, and magic that’s involved throughout. My only complaint I have with this series as a whole is that I wish the books were released sooner, because I always forget what happened in the previous installment, and it confuses when I read the newest novel in the series. But the characters are great, and storylines are always amazing, and this one was no exception. I can’t wait to read the next installment!

Something in the house wants Trent dead. As he battles to win the affections of the sultry real estate agent, he’s also fighting for his life. Successful big-city lawyer, Trent Austin, does not have time for the run-down Victorian house he just inherited from a crazy uncle. Determined to get rid of it as soon as he can, he contacts the best real estate agent in Michigan Tina Sanders. This is the second book in the Haunted Ever After Series. You will most definitely want to read the first book in the series. It can be read as a standalone, but I honestly recommend you read the first book as well. If you like steamy, second-chance romance with a ghostly twist, you’ll love this gripping tale of love and mystery.

This book starts when the previous book, The Revolution finishes. When the Revolution focuses on both Katie and Colm sacrificing their love, this book has them transported back to 6th century where they have a mission to accomplish. But Colm has to make a few choices, and his choices determine the fate of the mission.
As the previous book, this book is also filled with danger, deception, romance and mystery. Katie and Colm have already been through a lot in the previous books, so you do feel connected to those characters and want them to succeed.
Overall, another roller-coaster and an enjoyable read.

The Traveler: Chimera Rising (The Book of Eleanor 3) by Shannon Nemechek

This is the second book I’ve read by Nemechek. Shannon knows how to bring her readers back. I absolutely love this book and can’t wait for more.

Morgana is dying and there isn’t anything anyone can do. Merlin doesn’t want her to die so something happens. Her kids don’t want to lose her and things go down. The quote I chose for Morgana is: “I’m glad you are here, my son. I want so badly for you and your father to make amends. You children will be all he has once I have passed. Please, my dear son…Please try to forgive your father. He has only thought of what is best for you and your sister. He loves you both so. Please try…”

Merlin is a knight and is serving under the king. After losing his wife things don’t go the way he planned. Going back and forth between time. The quote I chose for Merlin is: “My king, you have been enchanted. You must lock yourself away until I can return. It is imperative that you stay away from everyone. Will you do that, sire?”

Highly recommended for Fantasy lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Second Chance Spirit: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.

If you have read book one in the series, you are familiar with both of these characters. I was really excited when I saw that this book was about them. I was not disappointed either. We learn so much more about them, what led them to be who they are today. We also see who they really are now dealing with the house and the supernatural attached to it. They are just great, real people and makes this book what it is.

But let us not forget the story itself. Going by the name of the series, there are ghosts involved. The house Trent inherits is right out of a horror movie, but one I myself would love fix up and live in. I could imagine myself right there in it. The bad vibes they feel in house, the things happening to them, again, remind me of a horror movie, but in the best way. I would not say this is a horror book, but what is and has happened is both eerie and heartbreaking.

If you are a fan of Paranormal Romance with a good dose of suspense, this book is for you. It can be read as a stand alone book, but I recommend the whole series.

A fun and ghostly paranormal romance with a second chance at love twist. Having been introduced to Trent and Tina at the end of the first book in Pulkinen‘s ‘Haunted Ever After’ series I was looking forward to reading their story. Although the characters do crossover this can be read as a standalone story but I would recommend reading ‘Love at First Haunt’ as well. Big city successful lawyer Trent Austin inherits his uncles Victorian mansion in the suburbs, it’s just a shame it’s rundown and comes with ghosts. Desperate to sell the house he calls Tina Sanders, the best real estate agent in Michigan and also his ex girlfriend who dumped him. Tina ended her relationship with Trent due to her fear of commitment but as soon as she sees him again she realises that the chemistry is still there. The situation becomes more complicated as not only is Trent trying to rekindle things with Tina but he is soon fighting for his life as something in the house wants him dead. This is a good mix of romance, comedy and mystery with a ghostly twist and I was hooked from page one. I loved the main characters and the chemistry between Tina and Trent really came across in the narrative and their mutual attraction led to some rather hot and steamy scenes. An enjoyable and engaging read, I look forward to book three in the series.

Having read and enjoyed the previous two books in this series I was looking forward to reading this latest novel and I was not disappointed. Enjoyable and engaging from start to finish, I was hooked from page one and loved being back with time travellers Katie and Colm. ‘Chimera Rising’ continues Katie and Colm’s story and this time they journey from 1692 to the sixth century having been rescued by Merlin. Here they are involved in a battle between good and evil and they have to prevent magic from falling into the wrong hands. I would recommend that the novels are read in order as they do follow on and the background story of the ancient curse which has been plaguing the Stewart witches for centuries and which only the last Stewart witch, according to prophecy can break also runs through the series. In this third book of ‘The Traveler Series’ the entire prophecy is at last revealed and the Avalon relics must be recovered before The Lady of the Lake can find them. This is a shorter book than the previous two but it is just as action packed and is a real page turner. The descriptive narrative really brings both the characters and the setting to life which made me feel immersed in the story.

This is the second book I’ve read by Renee and I can’t wait for more. Cursed Sight is an amazing read and it will leave you wanting more. If you haven’t checked Renee out then you should.

Serena is a high priestess and has been missing Ethan. She doesn’t need a man nor does she want one. When cleansing Ethan she finds herself being cleansed as well. She learns something, but keeps it to herself. The quote I chose for Serena is: “Depends on your definition. Just because I’ve never encountered it, doesn’t necessarily make it a rare occurrence. For all my lecturing you to cleanse, I’ve obviously been neglecting my own to warrant this level of cleaning.”

Ethan thought he’d lose his sister when she became in danger. He wants to contact Serena, but doesn’t know if it’s welcomed. He sends a text when he gets back to town, but doesn’t realize that he never pressed send. The quote I chose for Ethan is: “Because I’m good looking and you’re in desperate need for an oracle.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal lovers.

This is a complex and fascinating tale. Our hero and heroine wind up in the fantastical world of King Arthur and Guinevere, rubbing shoulders with Lancelot and the other knights of the Round Table. With the wizard Merlin and his wife Morgana by their side, they race headlong into their mission to restore order in 6th Century Wales. This book has intrigue, adventure, and more than a little magic. Shannon Nemechek is skilled at creating beautiful worlds alive with colour and rich in depth. I could feel myself as Katie, magic in my fingertips, as she bravely sought to live her destiny. Fantasy readers will love this latest tale in the Book of Eleanor series, and I recommend the set to anyone who wants to escape into a magical world alive with possibility.

This is the second book in the Haunted Ever After Series. It can definately be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the first book as we are introduced to our main characters in that book. I have loved all this authors books as they contain my two favourite things paranormal and romance. The style of writing and the authors ability to write amazing characters has you gripped from beginning to end.

Trent  is a successful lawyer. When his uncle dies and leaves him his run down mansion in the suburbs the last thing he wants to do is spent time on it. So he contacts the best person he knows to get it sold. However there are two things he doesn’t count on. The fact that his uncle didn’t just leave him the house but also secrets within and the fact that the person he hires to sell it is his old flame.
Tina is amazing at her job so when Trent asks her to sell his uncles house she knows she can do it. However she isn’t prepared for all the emotions and feelings it stirs up between them.

As the pair work together to get the house ready for sale they both have to deal with their emotions and feelings and also the paranormal goings on that happen around the house.

Second Chance Spirit: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen is the second book in the Haunted Ever After series.

Will Trent and Tina figure out the mysteries of the house?
I always enjoy a new story from Carrie Pulkinen and this did not disappoint. The story is a fun, paranormal romance with a bit of thrill and chills thrown in. Second chances are all around in this story and a good reminder that some things are meant to be. This is a quick read which will have you laughing one moment and wondering what all the haunting is about the next. I look forward to reading the next book in this series soon.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So, this is the second installment in the Haunted Ever After series and I have to say that I fricken loved this one. Tina is just an amazing character who was my favourite in the first book, so I’m glad that she’s now back and is main protagonistic-ing it up in this one. As we all know, Tina is awesome at selling houses, in the first book she’d managed to sell a whopper of a place now though she has a bit of a challenge on her hands because the house that she has been asked to help sell is a bit on the creepy side. And when I say creepy, I really mean verging on Hill House levels of spooky. Another issue happens to be that the man he is helping sell the place, just so happens to be the same guy that she might have skipped out on when her feelings for him became a bit too real and scary.
Trent is his name and being a hot-shot lawyer and inheriting creepy mansions is his game. When he gets the old Victorian place from his Uncle, he can’t shake the feeling that there is something seriously wrong with it, getting a spooky vibe from it the moment he sets foot in the place. So he enlists the help of Tina and, while she’s super shocked to get such an invitation from him, reticent to dip her toe back into the scarily deep pool of emotions she felt for him before, she agrees.
I thought this was a great read, and all the simmering sexual tension between the two characters felt believable because of the history between them, and also because I have to say that Tina is an awesome character and wherever you stick her she just makes it better. This feels like the Pulkinen I’m used to and the Pulkinen I love and adore. A nice feisty, sure of herself protagonist with a dash of sexual tension and just all-around fun and giggles to tie it all together. I am looking forward to reading the next book, after this I honestly cannot wait.

Second Chance Spirit is the 2nd book in the Haunted Ever After series, I have read a lot of books by this author, but I think this series is my favourite so far. This book follows on from the end of the previous book, which introduced us to Trent and Gina as the main characters best friends. In this book Trent and Gina discover that they are more compatible than they first thought. When Trent inherits his uncles old house, he asks Gina to sell it for him they discover that they have a lot in common and start to become honest with their feelings for each other. However, nothing is ever that straight forward. As they explore their feelings for each other the house seems to be trying to tell them that all is not right and something sinister starts to mess with Trent’s health. I really enjoyed this book, the characters are really likable and the story is exciting until the end. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Trent Austin is a good looking lawyer who has just inherited an old Victorian mansion from his Uncle and he has no idea why, they were never that close and it seemed like his Uncle really disliked him, but when he goes in to see what state it is in and gets a really creepy vibe from it and a couple of strange things happen when he tries to open the curtains, he decides he wants rid as soon as he can, so he calls on the only person he can think of to do it. Tina Sanders is a sexy and confident woman and she is extremely good at her job, so when a call from Trent comes in for help selling his newly inherited mansion, she is reluctant to get involved again since she dumped him and ran away three months ago when she got scared by her feelings towards him, but decides that she can be professional, accepts the job and agrees to meet with him at the house the next day.

When they get there, Tina agrees that there is a creepy vibe but she goes around and gives her assessment of what needs doing so they can get a good price, but she is finding it hard to concentrate, as is Trent as the attraction they both felt is reignited as if the last three months hadn’t happened, but neither of them want to act on it. As they continue to walk through the house, they come across rooms in which the decoration doesn’t make sense and just increases the discomfort, but that all increases when they get to the third floor room, Tina feels a compulsion to unlock it and when she doesn find the key and unlock it, she feels like that was a mistake and wants to flee the room as soon as she sets foot in it.

A couple of days later, both Tina and Trent are faced with a barrage of questions by their best friends about what happened when they saw each other and neither of them are forthcoming with the information, but in the end their friends leave it alone for that moment in time. As time progresses and Tina and Trent work together to get the house ready, more strange things happen to them while they are inside, not to mention that they are struggling with their emotions, but when things get dangerous and more serious injuries start, things get personal and a decision is made to get rid of whatever is causing the trouble, but things are not as they seem and as family secrets are revealed will the group be able to see their plan through, or will the house become deadly? Will Trent and Tina ever be able to accept their feelings and move forward, or will fear be the one barrier they both stumble at?

This is a romance with hidden agendas and dangerous dealings but as the revelations occur, it is a mystery which you will be drawn into and wanting to solve too.

Third Time’s a Ghost (Haunted Ever After Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Sara Oxton

Third Time's a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After, #3)Third Time’s a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Third Times a Ghost by Carrie Pulkinen a five-star read that makes a show of it. This is the third story in the Haunted ever after series but they could all be read as stand alone, they each focus on different main characters but follow a theme and previous characters do pop up now and again. Erica was so good, she really does just come across so well, I couldn’t help but like her and Gage who just made me smile, the pair together was funny and you cant help but hope they get their happy ever after, even when everything seems against them.
