The Warrior (The Freemasons Book 3) by Nicole Flockton – Review by Jules Herbert

The Warrior (The Freemasons #3)The Warrior by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This super talented author just keeps weaving completely captivating stories time after time. The 3rd book in this fantastic series sees Jude and Sienna come to together during very emotional and action packed times. There is a very important part to the storyline that has been building during the first two books of the series that comes to a very happy conclusion but I don’t want to say too much as it will give too many spoilers away. All I can really say is please do yourself a favour and get reading this amazing series!!! I can’t wait to read the next book, actually I am off to start it now!! LOL

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secrets, revenge and romance
This is the second book in the contemporary romance series The Freemasons. The heat doesn’t simmer down in this instalment. Dominic has his work cut out for him with Gemma who is on a warpath to prove her point in this enemy to lovers addition. We catch glimpses of Cole and Ava from book one which made my heart sing. I am really enjoying this series with its strong characters, steamy romance and the underlying story line that the author has cleverly interwoven throughout the books. Looking forward to Jude’s story next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great addition to the series
The fifth book in the series and this is Master Catteneo and Alessia’s story. As with each of the books the FMC, Alessia, is a strong character. She is confident in her abilities and in her beliefs. Catteneo is alpha through and through. The storyline from the previous books continues throughout this instalment, so it is best to read these all in order to be able to connect the dots. I love reading these books and catching glimpses of characters from previous books and seeing them through the eyes of others. A big plus is the dual POV, it just makes for a deeper connection to the characters and storyline. Highly recommend and eagerly awaiting the next book.

3.5 Stars

 

Better Gnomes & Gardens is the first book in the Mysty Haven Mystery series, and debut novel, by Casey Cardel. This is a fun paranormal cozy mystery with a well-woven plot full of magical realism, crime & investigation, intrigue, humour, action, suspense, drama, and wonderfully quirky characters.
I loved the character development of the story, as Ms. Cardel has skilfully crafted her characters into fully realised individuals, who really made this story come to life. They were all so quirky, which definitely added an extra element of interest to the story.
The story was such a fun introduction to Ms. Cardel’s writing, and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of her work in the future. If this is what she can do as her debut, the future certainly looks bright.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Casey Cardel.

Master Catteneo is the fifth book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. This fantastic paranormal romance series just gets better and better with each new addition. I gave up trying to pick my favourite, as they are all so good. This is definitely a series to sink your teeth into- especially if you love paranormal romance, vampire, romantic suspense, and plenty of steam. And the best part is that there are 12 books planned for the series…. which means more sexy vampires to love…. WOOT!
Again, we’re thrust into an underworld society with lots of action, supernatural elements, politics, magic, danger, tension, intrigue, drama, emotion, dramatic developments, challenges, and masterful world-building…… Oh, and did I mention VAMPIRES!!!!!
I highly recommend reading the other books in the series before beginning this one. Because even though you could read this as a standalone, as each book in the series focuses on its own separate couple, there are, however, some interconnected details as well as recurring characters that span the series- so this is why I really recommend reading from the beginning so you know what’s happened right from the start. I feel that each book contains juicy information that would help you to better appreciate this book, as well as the series as a whole.
Bring on Book Six!!! Can’t wait!!!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Sylvia Black!

This is book one in the Mystery Haven series and I loved it! Starting out with mention of the legendary Bigfoot, this story already captured my curiosity. Bob is a character I could get behind and cheer on as he agrees to solve the mystery of the missing gnome. The owner of the gnome, Doug, had me cracking up with his sarcasm right away. This is a wonderful debut cozy mystery. I look forward to book two!

I LOVE THIS SERIES! Master Catteneo is wonderful! Yes they are vampires, witchers, shifters, ect. battling for their rights. A war is brewing between the vampires and witches(which could cause the underground world to collapse.)
The author has woven together a story that started off in complete disarray. That could succeed a a stand-alone and perfect read straight full
There’s so much I could write about this but I don’t want to spoil this for others. Just a slight background.
Descallia’s mate has been taken. He’s on a rampage with Catteneo in charge. She was last detected in his territory. Master Catteneo knows where he has to go, what he doesn’t know is how it’ll change the rest of his immortal life.
Alessia does everything to protect her gramma, but can’t stop the bill of a vampire from letting her rest. It is decided that Alessia will assist in the SeaTac and recovery efforts for Lucianna.
These two go on an unexpected adventure of being able to channel on another. Lack of trust. Extreme feelings the whole 9-yards.
Do they recover Lucianna?
Side note: I love Descallia, but I don’t like rampaging Descallia so he was on the back burner for me for this one.
You will have to read and find out. Me, I’m ready for the next book. I can’t wait!

Elemental Fire (The Hidden Realms Book 1) by EG Manetti – Review by Ayla Phipps

Elemental Fire (The Hidden Realms #1)Elemental Fire by E.G. Manetti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by E.G. Manetti, and I could not imagine a better introduction to this authors work. Detective Sin Marston is a rare human that can see through the glamour of creatures from the Hidden Realm. After a strict childhood Sin found her way in the world making it on her own without anyone’s help, and now running her own business.
We first meet Sin on a job to catch an art thief, several museums in the Eastern United States have been targeted and Hidden Realm relics have been taken. Quickly she catches the culprit an imp that we later learn is named Mlith. Sin’s world is flipped upside down when she learns that the original job is not what she thought it was. Going to her ex-college roommates party she meets Serena’s handsome neighbor Rad Cray. A fire elemental that she learns is the Warden of the Eastern United States. The hidden realms’ elders organized for the thefts of the artifacts that were originally stolen from the hidden realm. The powers that the relics can give the user are worth the “felonies” committed to get them back. Within 48 hours Sin has opened her heart to Rad, he has somehow melted through all her walls and defenses making her want to tell him everything. After a small blood tasting, she tasted a drop of his and he a drop of hers, Rad is ready to claim her and always have her nearby. Sin being human desires more than a one-night stand and so Rad agrees to court her and earn her.
Will Sin discover all the hidden realm’s secrets? Can she trust Rad with her darkest secrets and fears? Can they find a way to be happy while balancing the hidden realm and the Terra? The world the author creates builds the pictures in your mind word for word. The characters coming to life off the pages making you hungry for more details. The sudden twists and desires that Sin and Rad have being so close and then pulled away by their occupations keeps them on their toes and craving the next meeting. I cannot wait to see what comes next.

Bob McLarney accepted a job in Mysty Haven ready to conquer the world with his journalism degree, but it backfires when he writes a story that was not assigned. Left in limbo he finds himself playing detective looking for a thief. However not all is at seems in Mysty Haven and Bob is about to find out the secrets of a small town.

I really enjoyed this one, a bit of fantasy mixed mystery. I thought Bob was a really entertaining character and the small town of Mysty Haven is delightful. A gem of a story.

So I just had to read the previous books in this series before this one because you just never fully know what’s going on if you don’t. While you totally can read this as a standalone book, reading the whole series just gives way more insight into what happens in this story.

Master Catteneo is on the hunt for Overmaster Descallia’s mate who was taken, and he is hell bent on making those that stand in his way pay. He has an idea on who can help because she has helped before but he wasn’t expecting the granddaughter to be the one to help.

Alessia is tasked with helping the vampires because her grandmother is sick, and with some powers of her own she is more than qualified to help. She resolves to do everything within her power to rescue Descallia’s mate. When the sparks fly between the two will this lead to their end goal or turmoil?

This was a fantastic book in the series and one of my absolute favorites. It gets your blood pumping in all the right ways. If you like paranormal romances then definitely give this series a go, it has been amazing up to this point and I am excited to see what comes next.

Better Gnomes & Gardens (Mysty Haven Mystery Book 1) by Casey Cardel. This is such a cute read. Its the story of Bob McLarney who has a brand new degree in journalism and has moved to a cute little town. He just knows he’s going to get his big break in this new town. Bob is a little on the quirky side and really believes in Big Foot and wants to find him thinking this will be his big break. Not really getting anywhere with this story and losing his job over it a local guy asks him to help him find his missing gnome so Bob agrees. What he finds is not what he expected. This town is full of interesting, different and weird characters and Bob doesn’t know what to think about them. Will Bob find this gnome and if he does will he find out what this town is all about? I can’t wait to read more of this cute series. Such a fun quick read.

Sometimes you don’t realize that you’re craving a cute book and this is exactly what I needed! What a fun character Bob McLarney is. When Bob took the job as a journalist, he never expected he’d be fired within a couple weeks due to writing a story about big foot. What can Bob do to survive? What can Mysty Haven show him?

I definitely enjoyed reading this book. Books like this make me smile and sometimes even laugh out loud. I hope you like it as much as I did. I will be checking out the future books in the series.

When Bob gets his first big break at the newspaper that he has just been hired at it seems that he misses the mark and must find a new job. As he is trying to figure out what he is going to do now he is approached by an elderly gentleman with a job for him, but this is no ordinary gentle man or job. Bob has found his way to a special town, a town where everyone is not what they seem.

This is a fast-paced story that keeps your attention. The author has created an interesting world full of mystical beings. It is a fun read that brings together so many different beings. Bob is a good character and watching him find his way made for a nice read. Each being has a story and I enjoyed being introduced to each one and learning some of their back stories. This is a good start to this new series. The characters are likeable, and the flow of the story is good and has you eager to return to this world to see what will happen next to Bob and this town.

I’ve said it before but I will say it again Masters of the Consulate is one of my absolute favourite epic series. I love dark stories and Sylvia’s tantalising Masters certainly give me that. This is Master Catteneo’s story and it is truly a delicious paranormal vampire romance tale. It is the fifth book in this amazing series and is just as good if not better than the others. Make sure you start with the first book in the series and work your way through. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

This riveting book is fast paced, intense, full of suspense, is super dangerous, and is steaming hot. There is nothing better than a host of sexy but vicious vampires, psychics, and a host of other paranormal beings. Where there is old world factions there is greed and revenge, secret agendas, politics and so much more.

Everyone is on high alert as one of their own goes missing. Master Catteneo leads the hunt but he is thrown a massive curve ball that throws him for a six. That is all I am going to tell you because this series is one to be savoured like a fine wine. Going in to it blind and discovering this dark wickedly delightful world all for yourself only makes it so much sweeter.

Bob McLarney is having a bad day. He was just fired from his journalism position after a measly two weeks. The editor wanted a gripping story and Bob chose to write about the existence of Big Foot. Boss man wasn’t happy so Bob is looking for another source of income. He’s just moved to Mysty Haven and has a few months of free rent so he’s wanting to stay where he is.

Bob frequents the local coffee shop gathering any gossip that’s going on. He’s approached by an elderly man who’s looking for someone to help him find his newest gnome that’s gone missing from his garden. Bob agrees to help out but learns pretty quickly that Mysty Haven isn’t quite the place that he though it might be. He also learns that he’s not who he thought he was.

This was a fun little novella to read on a rainy afternoon. It includes all sorts of paranormal characters, most of which have some comical elements. This was an enjoyable short read.

Isla is at it again. She will not let her plan fail. She has kidnapped her sister and Master Descallia’s mate. He is beyond furious after losing her once before. Everyone is on high alert to find her. Master Catteneo goes to see Ezra, the best psychic he knows of. He may not believe totally in her skills; he has no hope without seeing her. They need to find Lucianna and fast. He finds a barrier at her door, her granddaughter. Alessia is not about to let this vampire into her grandmother’s house without a great standoff.

The book continues to keep you on your toes throughout the entire story. I was up long into the night reading this one. Alessia and Master Catteneo get stuck with eachother on a beach waiting for word from Lucianna. This story has it all, the syndicate, witches, wolves, vampires, physics, ghouls and so so much more.

Loved this book and can’t wait for the next one in the series.
