Sometimes second books in a series don’t live up to the quality of the first book, but I thought the author did a good job making the transition feel smooth. I thought the second book was just as enjoyable as the first. It was nice to already have an understanding of the main characters and basic plot, but getting to see the growth into the second year was interesting. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this romance. It was easy to read and quickly sucked me into the story. The characters were easily related to. I thought it was funny and emotional, but not overly dramatic. It had elements that were realistic, while still having parts that allowed for fantasy/daydream type of scenarios. This is a good choice if you like a slow burn, friends-to-lovers type of quick read. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

An Inheritance To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For, #4)An Inheritance To Die For by Judy Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to this fourth novel, and I was not disappointed. It was lovely being back with Beck O’Rourke, who feels like an old friend now, and I enjoyed following alongside her as she traveled to Miami, to investigate the possible suicide or murder of her college roommate’s father. It was also great being back at the now much loved setting of the ‘Beach Reads’ bookstore and café, “a block off the ocean in quaint Manatee Beach, Florida”. Beck is taking on her first paid job as a private investigator, following three successful murder investigations as an amateur. For this investigation Beck has to enter her spoiled freshman roommate’s privileged world and meet her fractured family, to discover if the death of Benjamin Greene, who’s heirs stand to inherit millions from his death was a suicide or in fact murder.

Beck believes his death the night before he was meeting with his lawyer, to change his will, may be more than a coincidence. Alongside Beck are regulars Miss Alice, her spirited grandmother, her feisty lifeguard sister Lizzie, and Beck’s love interest, Police detective Devon Mathis. Another gripping cozy mystery crime story in this enjoyable and engaging series, which had me hooked from start to finish. The characters are so well defined they feel like old friends and the descriptive narrative brings the settings vividly to life. I look forward to book five and being back with Beck once more!

The Serpent Awakens by Luna Saint Claire – Review by Maryn Belling

Luna Saint Claire is a gifted author. She’s clearly well-read, skilled at developing characters, familiar with deep archetypal sagas, and adept at keeping a story line moving. What she accomplishes in less than 300 pages is truly remarkable. Whether you’re a devotee of psychological thrillers or a first-time reader, this story and its adherence to excellent story-craft will set the bar by which you judge other books.

Ms. Saint Claire begins by setting up our main character as someone we don’t want to like. She gets right into the reader’s moral conscience – we want the devil to get his due as the saying goes.

Nico is a user and abuser of women and drugs. As a teacher of Kundalini Yoga, he’s supposed to be a caretaker of others’ spiritualities so they can heal through the practice.Despite his best intentions, Nico couldn’t be farther from a true yogi than if he were on a vintage Cartoon Network episode with a side-kick named BooBoo and a jaunty little hat. He’s exerting a vampire-like compulsion on his students. Women who are otherwise strong, talented, independent, resourceful, and successful are falling under Nico’s spell

When Nico’s reality brings him back to his roots, we still want to dislike him. But we also start to see that he’s not 100% a monster. He seeks freedom from his affliction.As if Sisyphus’ boulder were one’s spirituality.

Redemption and psychological terror intertwine in The Serpent Awakens.

What a beautiful and emotional story this turned out to be. The journey that Nico goes on and the path he takes were so well portrayed. I was drawn into this book right from the start and loved watching how things played out. The author makes you experience everything that he goes through so it feels like you are going on the journey with him.
I have read a few books by this author now and I this one is definitely up there as one of the best. It was so easy to read this book because it was well written and interesting. I would definitely recommend this book.

What a terrific first book to this exciting trilogy! Wilf is a 16 year old soccer player that just wants to live like a normal kid. Unfortunately, not gonna happen, he’s sucked into the world of wizards and witches. He has to save the witches from a horrid virus going around. I found the characters amazing. The development and detail put in took so much time. They are so accurately described and easy to picture. I found the drama and adventure to be exciting and engaging. This is edge of your seat action. You have to know what’s coming up. The plot fs well laid out and flows smoothly. Great YA book and even for us older people into fantasy books. I can’t wait to start the next one.

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I have enjoyed reading her books from the start, including this one. I enjoy how she is able to pull me into the story with her creative characters. They are characters that are written with a lot of heart and soul. They are characters that you won’t soon forget. They have great growth throughout the story. This made the story easy to read and had me coming back for more. I wanted to know what was next for Nico. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. A story that took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. This is a great story that I really enjoyed and I highly recommend it.

Rock Bottom (Satan’s Devils MC Book #7) Audiobook by Manda Mellett – Review by Kayla Octaviano

/0 Comments/in /by

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Author did not disappoint! Rock Bottom is about Rock, a member of the Satan’s Devils motorcycle club, and Becca, a good church girl. From the beginning, this book captures your attention. There is action, betrayal, deception, and so much more in this book that hooks you. Read this book if you like love stories, being on the edge of your seat, action adventures, and steamy behind-closed-doors scenes. Rock Bottom was unique from the other books in this series so far because the action and adventure is the first thing to occur. If anything, this made me listen continuously, I couldn’t stop.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is an amazing start for a new series. I love, love, love mafia books, they are my favs. So, having read a bunch of them, this one rates right up there with some of the best ones I have read. There is the push and pull between characters. There is growth of each character. There is also the amazing set up for future books. I cannot wait to read the next one in this series. How do you work the mafia and keep your mouth shut? How do you keep your head down when that is the last thing you want to do? What happens when feelings start to get involved where they shouldn’t be? These are all the questions that I asked myself while reading this book. Those questions made it a major page turner and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I didn’t put this book down. I actually didn’t even go to sleep until I had finished it. If you love the cocky alpha males of mafia and the feisty good girl that makes their cold hearts melt, this is you next book. Highly recommend this amazingly well written mafia love story!!!

Overall this is a story that really picked up towards the end. The beginning is slower and at times confusing about what is going on. It just did not seem to flow well in the beginning or middle. It really picked up and made more sense towards the ending. I feel this storyline (which is truly different) has a lot of places it could go and intriguing characters that could be built upon. I liked the ideas of getting to the school the games and the other kids attitudes. The familiars are cute and the squirrel idea..fantastic.

This is a very beautifully written story about faith and hope and discovering who you really are. The author does an incrediable job with the story of Nico and his journey back to the person he was always meant to be. As a reader i was completely captivated by his story and transition and how he overcomes all the challenges thrown at him along the way.
The author makes you feel a part of the journey like you are experiencing every thought and sensation as it happens. Some parts are hard to read but it’s just life and we all have to go through hard times to progress and become better people.

Nico’s character at the beginning I wasn’t too sure of. He was very focused on himself and using people to get what he wanted but as his journey progressed I saw the transformation of Nico and it was inspiring.

I don’t want to give more away but it is definately a must read if you are looking for something relatable to life with a lot of hope and faith.

This book was mesmerizing for all which it held. I could not turn away as I read, written exceptionally, with all the beauty of the world possible. The emotions were hard to feel at times, but it made the book!

Nico was special. You could get that from reading about him and his journey. He faced many things. Faith was a big play in the story. I found that really important and admirable, but it really made Nico who he was. Some things as I mentioned were hard to feel on Nico’s journey, but everything he endured made him the person he was at the end. To me this is a story that should not be overlooked or passed up. Everything Nico experiences, you experience as well. Mystifying and heartfelt, and full of beauty! Loved it!

Such a wonderful book full of heart and inspiration. I could not have asked for more. I was truly filled with emotions as I read. Beautiful writing. Highly recommend this must read book.

The Serpent Awakens by Luna Saint Claire – Review by Maryn Belling

Several content warnings are missing from this text; although it goes out of its way to assure us it’s a work of fiction. Maybe you read the first book and already know you can overcome the misogyny, polyamory, abuse (physical, mental, spiritual), drugs, and controlling (compelling) of cult-like devotees. Maybe you’re reading this book on its own.

The author is clearly well-read and gifted at developing characters and a story-line.

Nico is a user and abuser of women and drugs. As a teacher of Kundalini Yoga, he’s supposed to be a caretaker of others’ spiritualities so they can heal through the practice. Whether to appeal to the reader’s compulsion to fix others or to discredit holistic practitioners; Nico couldn’t be farther from a true yogi than if he were on a vintage Cartoon Network episode with a side-kick named BooBoo and a jaunty little hat. Unfortunately he’s compelling his devotees.

If you’re looking for a philosophical bent to your brooding bad boy, this book is probably for you. Poor Nico; nobody understands him & his Sisyphean quest except for you & Albert Camus. If you’re looking for a story where the devil gets his due, this isn’t it.

Unless you need an adult version of Nick Jr complete with a talking jaguar and cultural appropriation, skip the book and upgrade your jam to Calvin Harris’ new album Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2.

The writing is beautiful. The characters and details of the journey are quite fascinating. There is so much in the story to be soaked in. I am positive that I will be reading it again. It is a story of faith as you follow the journey of Nico. He develops it on his travels. It’s a tale that must be read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This sci-fi book of fated lovers was phenomenal, hands down amazing. At first, I needed time to understand the ranks and roles within the Space Force, but once I did, the pages turned so fast as I dove deeper and deeper into the story of Ravenna, searching for her lover Yve, as she combats sudden feelings for Dravos, held captive by Space Force. Let’s go, LGBT+ representation! Ravenna and Dravos go through so much together, and stand up for each other once they held eye contact together. Finding Yve was absolutely heartbreaking, but I loved the tenderness Dravos had and encouragement to keep her memory alive and finding out what the cause of her death was. Which, the cause of her death, huge twist I was not expecting. Brilliant turn of events.

Fallen Star (The Divine Devils Book 2) by R Weir

Fallen Star is the second book in The Divine Devils Series and a wonderfully written Crime Thriller that is extremely hard to put down. I’m a fan of this author and his style of writing along with his pretty straightforward characters make for a intense read at times. I found myself on the edge of my seat trying to figure out the next move. This is packed with action , suspense drama crime and so much more. The storyline flowed so well that I got caught up in the pages and read half the night . I do highly recommend reading the first book if you haven’t already started it. Its just as good as this one and you get to know the characters and what’s been going on. Hunter and his team are back and this time they are investigating what starts out as a blackmail case but it seems the deeper they dig the more they find. They find themselves in a dangerous situation that includes, drugs,prostitution and murder. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This is the beginning of a series, it has a little build up to what you think is going to be a big conflict but the only conflict in this story is the decision the male and female leads have to make on whether or not to stay together. Cole and Ava had a very rocky start to their marriage can they find their way back to one another?
Hopefully the next few books in the series have a lot more depth and they address the conflict that was just hinted at in this first book of the series. Otherwise this was good readd.

I just loved the cover art but once I learnt more about Salvatore the cover became alive ! Nailed it ! For that alone I’ll give 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 what’s between the pages was even more epic ! I love myself a mafia family but I must say the Larussio’s are my favourite by far !❣️😉

When Salvatore and Dr Palento first cross paths you can feel the tension already and it’s off the charts 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥not long after that they’re thrown into chaos by an attack on their family at a family wedding and all hell breaks loose , I could smell the blood and fear I could hear the bullets flying and the screams it’s so well written ! Great Uncle takes a near fatal hit and the beautiful Dr Palento plays a monumental role in pulling him through , his stubborn nature helped him fight as well 😂😉❣️

What follows in the underground place of safety and later on the ground is a read of epic proportions, there’s sizzling hot and steamy romance , there’s suspense , a lot of blood , violence and gore and a few very unexpected twists and turns that had me do a double take and reread and yes I did gasp 😱

Yes we have a HEA but I’m starved for more of the Larussio family 🔥🥰

Expect the unexpected. This story is one that grips you and doesn’t let go until you’re through. At first, I was surprised that Ravenna’s lover was a woman, but honestly, that built her character more for me. She’s relatable and a badass. Dravos is one of those people you can’t help but be curious about. I absolutely love this story, and I hope to read more soon.

The Intruders by Brett McKay is a bit of a gripping supernatural thriller. This is my first book from Mr. McKay so I was excited to see what he could do.
I was immediately pulled into the story, avidly reading along to find out how things played out in the end. I was so engrossed that I ended up reading the whole book in one sitting. I didn’t need sleep. I needed answers lol.
Dex Sanders is a down on his luck husband and father. Scraping by as a car salesman just to make ends meet. But what happens when strange things begin to happen? An odd package arrives. Then dangerous intruders abduct him and his family- and then try to torture information out of him? Things couldn’t get worse. Or could they? Dex will need to dig deep, and try to keep his wits about him if he has any chance of finding a way to escape to save his family and himself- oh, and the world while he’s at it.
An intense story full of danger, dramatic developments, action, violence, agendas, time running out, high stakes, discovery, challenges, a powerful supernatural force, deadly & determined killers, and a whole lot of nail-biting tension…. it’s well worth the read to discover all the gripping details for yourself.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Brett McKay!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fantastic story with a few twists that you might not see coming.

Eleanor “Ellie” has been in love with Rafael for over a decade. There have always been barriers to her expressing her feelings for him, Raf is her brother’s best friend, he sees her as a little sister, and they are squarely in the friendzone. Recently Raf has been giving off mixed signals, like the longing looks but at the same time telling her she can’t wear a short skirt. Ellie has had it. She has to move on.

Rafael “Raf” is just a fisherman from the wrong side of the tracks. Despite his love for Ellie, he won’t ever be the kind of man she deserves. Not that her brother, his best friend, would ever let him date her anyway. Raf has loved Ellie as long as he can remember. It is getting harder and harder for him to fight his feelings. When a stranger attempts to take Ellie, Raf decides that he needs to let Ellie know what she means to him, friendship be damned.

When the attempted abduction turns into more, Raf finds himself in an interrogation room scared that Ellie won’t believe he had nothing to do with what is going on. When the ghosts of Raf’s past threaten his future with Ellie, Raf must act, even if it means the end.

Delightful, steamy quick read with enough suspense to keep you guessing.

Return of the Elf Lord (Kingdom of the Elf Lords, Book 1)Return of the Elf Lord by Heidi Vanlandingham
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I wasn’t a fan. I spent most of the first half of Return of the Elf Lord utterly confused. I just didn’t understand how one thing went with another. However, I’m saying that just because the book wasn’t my forte, doesn’t mean it won’t be yours. The author gives you a story with a lot of meat. If you enjoy world war 2 and supernatural worlds this book is definitely for you. Of course there’s some time traveling tied in. And anyone who enjoys that knows that time traveling always causes a lot of chaos. So you can imagine where this all ends up going.
The question being can the chaos be prevented?
If not can it be repaired?
Bernard was saved. However he can’t let go of the fact that he lost his family. He comes up with a plan to get them back. But unfortunately doesn’t understand the consequences that plan will cause. He’s blinded by the fact of wanting his wife and kids back. By the fact he’s gaining a power he didn’t have before that can help him in his conquest. He’s been warned to let the past remain, unfortunately he doesn’t heed that warning.
Freyja and Alva are trying to stop him. Will they be too late?
Alva has her own issues going on, so Bernard being selfish doesn’t help her deal with those. Her people are at wits end with leadership. Her mom is weak and perishing. But for her to be able to deal with those issues they need to prevent Bernard from rocking every world and realm.
This is a story about a man who is having trouble letting go. A woman’s acceptance of who she and her people are. Does that bring them together?
Balance and equality through the world & realms. Again the author put together a good story worth the read. I took a chance and struck out. Doesn’t mean it takes away from the artistry the author put on the pages. Definitely promising and I look to check another book out by this author in the future.

Curse of the Elf Lord (Kingdom of the Elf Lords Book 2)Curse of the Elf Lord by Heidi Vanlandingham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed Curse of the Elf Lord way more than I enjoyed book 1. It wasn’t all over the place and confusing for me. A cohesive story that I feel was better written with more substance than the first book.
We are diving deep into the supernatural world which is what drew me to this book in the first place. Though I’ve minimal Elven reference, my preference tends to stick to vampires and shifters. However, there’s more than Elves, there’s demons, gods, wolves, ect which I enjoyed. Mythology tying into books has a tendency to peak my interest as well. Especially if Hades is involved, but I digress.
Emilien and Hel are at romantic odds. Estrangement is better, but what happens when they are forced to work together?
Something is going on, beings in the different worlds are starting to disappear. Getting stuck in the Shadow Lands Emilien was thrown for a loop. He was also attacked too and warned to cease his quest after his brother and his wife. If it wasn’t for his connection with Hel he might not have made it back. Freyja believes it’s all tied together. Olivier and his wife’s disappearance and the missing beings from world’s that depend on them for survival.
The author writes a wonderful story that pushes these two estranged characters back together. Wonderfully written she keeps you intrigued and wanting to know what happens next. I very well believe this works just as well as a stand-alone as well as a series. Now I think I need to jump into one of the authors’ other series because I’m realizing I may have another author to add to my list of favorites!
