I truly love this book, and it’s one of my favorite ones I’ve read this year. It’s such a fast paced and fun story, and you get absorbed as you read it. Rhiannon or Aqua Marine was a great character. Having a superhero dad and villain mom is nothing of the normal. However she embraces it and she’s trying to the best of her ability to excel because she wants to follow in her father‘s footsteps, but she felt she’s lacking. There was just so much that went into the story that made it so amazing. Everyone loves a good superhero and this definitely have it.

Tale of a Body Thief is the fantastic first instalment in the Rovena Silvex Chronicles by Kristy Centeno. I have loved everything I have read by this author, so I was definitely excited to get my hands this, her latest offering. I had really high expectations going into this story, as her previous books have been amazing- and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was possible for her to hit another home run with this new story/series. I needn’t have worried though, and never should have doubted her- as this book is every bit as good as her previous works- if not better. This is a wonderfully original and exciting fantasy with intriguing paranormal elements, plenty of action, danger, the occult, hunters, demons, witches, thrills, excitement, edge of your seat suspense, mystery, dramatic developments, violence, the supernatural, good vs evil, agendas, and adventure. There is so much packed in-between the covers of this book- making for such an exciting read. I was completely hooked right from the word go- and didn’t come up for air till I had read every last word. Ms. Centeno has written such an engrossing, detailed, and wonderfully dynamic story- that I was completely caught up in all the developments. She had me avidly reading the whole way through, sometimes on the edge of my seat waiting to see how things would play out. The story is very original, imaginative, and well-woven. And was everything I could have hoped for (and more) from this talented author. The characters were superbly crafted into fully developed individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws. They really brought the whole story to life and added so much more depth and ‘flavour’ to the whole adventure. I love Rovena- she is such a feisty, strong, kick-a( ) character. But this demon hunter also has a few surprises up her sleeve, too. The story is set to continue in future instalments- so I can’t wait for the next book to see where we go from here! If you love fantasy, the paranormal/supernatural, demons, witches, good vs evil, sinister agendas, intriguing characters, and spell-binding storylines- then you will definitely want to snap up a copy of this book, asap. Happy Reading!

This book is a complete surprise in a good way. There’s so many twist and turn in it and you completely fall in love with the characters. It makes you feel like anyone might be able to be redeemed. I can’t wait to read the next book and continue on the journey with Rovena.

It’s not a mystery to the reader who is the murderer in this story as it starts out with a chapter from the killer’s perspective. We then follow Fitz who is a police detective in New York. He is working with Captain Jack to hopefully find the serial killer before he strikes again. During the investigation we met some of Fitz’s chosen family. One of those turns out to be MJ. The same woman who has had a crush on Fitz since she was five. MJ sometimes struggles with the level of protectiveness that Fitz displays, and also her long held feelings for him. Fitz does everything he can to hunt the killer, but keeps his family number one always. I had to keep reading to discover what was going to happen. I was fully invested in the characters and the story from the start! In Uniquely Mine you can find crime, romance, and family devotion.

You should read the first two novels in the series before you read this book (Uniquely Mine and Silent Innocence). By the time this story picks up, Fitz has decided to retire from the police force and work with some family at a private detective agency. He has two children, and is a loving, devoted family man as he has been since the start. The Medical Examiner, Gail, that Fitz worked with has a friend who needs his help. Bailey Davis has been widowed, and it seems as though she is drowning in debt that her husband left. As Fitz begins the investigation, some secrets are discovered that can change everything Bailey thought about not only her husband, but friends as well. Even her dog, Sad Sack, plays a vital role in solving the puzzles. Read it to find out what answers Bailey is left with at the conclusion of the investigation!

Read the first novel in the Fitz series, Uniquely Mine first!! In the second novel, Silent Innocence, Fitz is brought into to discover if there is a connection between a string of recent kidnappings and the murder of one girl. While he was walking through the precinct, he saw a little girl, Stella, who was in tears. Fitz discovers Stella is deaf, and signs with her to communicate that he is going to help her. It is discovered that Stella’s mom, Effy, has also been kidnapped. Through his investigation Fitz encounters a friend of the murder victim, Hudson, who is a lot of help to him in finding the truth of what has happened to the girls. I love how fast paced these stories are, and how vivid the details allow the reader to be fully immersed in the story!

Read the first three books in the Fitz series before proceeding. The fourth book focuses on the relationship between Fitz’s brother/best friend, Andy. Andy is a single dad. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, but he doesn’t want that to hold him back. Andrew, his ex-husband, wants to meet Andy to see if they have another shot. Meanwhile, Fitz has begun an investigation into some deaths of homosexual men that were all ruled as suicide. The deeper the investigation goes, the more Fitz is convinced that there is a serial killer who is targeting homosexual men and Andy might be next. A page turner once again. I binged the first four books in this series over three days! I can’t wait until the next one is finished!

This was just wow. A new author for me and unlike any other I have ever read! There is such a quirkiness but also just something that draws you in and traps you, leaving you needing to know where it goes! I am trying not to spill or give away anything but truly what a cool book! I would definitely recommend this book AND this author! He brings so much to the table and this book had everything you could imagine included in its plot! A great read hands down!

This was another great installment that just knocks this series out of the park! This was adventurous, and the fun just never stops. I loved the dragon! It added so much more danger and excitement. This series has quickly become a favorite of mine. It gets a little tedious at times but the adventures never stop. There is so much action and adventure. I have loved reading this series and I can’t wait to read the 4th book soon!

This was a fantastic sequel! I liked this one a lot more than the first. Not only did it have more action, but it was emotional (at least to me) as well! The first book I already loved because it was so well written, and while this one doesn’t disappoint in that regard either, this one just had a lot more depth. I highly recommend this series! These books should be read in order, however, this second book had a very in depth summary of the first book so reading the first isn’t strictly required since the author gives you all the background you need for this one.

Each book in this series gets better and better!! The family is all over the place, completely spread out. Kara and her family are staying in her mother’s hometown with family but they aren’t as welcoming as one would suspect. Kara also finds out that she will be married soon. Doesn’t she get a say in this? Sorven is going to Jorvik to see what, if anything, can be recovered from recent adventures. Oh the things that he runs into along the way. Cub is working like a dog in the camp that he’s been committed to. Will he ever find his way out and back to a life of freedom? Finn and Karl are still on the seas battling all sorts of strange creatures. It takes Karl awhile to warm up to Finn’s new way of life but once he does, things start improving somewhat. My favorite part of this book was Finn’s pet! Again, very well written and chocked full of adventure! I’m looking forward to book 4 and more of Kara’s story!

This book picks up about two weeks after the first one ends. As with the other book, there are multiple stories being told at once. Sometimes, it’s hard for me to keep it all straight but these books are SOOO GOOD!!! So, Willa is now married but not without some drama on her wedding night. Men come to exact their revenge on Karl but they are not successful. However, it will find the Kara and her family being on the run to save their lives while Karl takes Finn out on the ship with him. Cub goes with this dad to fight against Alfred the Great. Let’s just say that things don’t go as planned for any of these characters! Between the bears, trolls, mermen, wolves, elves….it’s all up in the air as to how things will develop. I suspect things may not be as they immediately seem though either. I have a feeling the author has something up his sleeve for book three!! While the first book was difficult for me to get into, I’m so thankful I didn’t give up! I’m really enjoying this series to far and look forward to learning more about Finn and his family!

This is the story of two teenagers that seem to be very different but end up having more in common than they thought. This was my first book by this author, and although it is not normally a genre I read since it is about teenagers in high school, I thought that it was well written and a beautiful story. Parts of it were predictable, but I really enjoyed the visibility and representation it gives to individuals with medical conditions that make their lives more difficult. There are some mature scenes in the book, but I think it touches on so many important topics for teenagers and the adults in the lives of teens (teachers, school staff, parents, etc) such as bullying, medical disabilities, friendship, courage, peer pressure, and depression. I definitely recommend this book and it was a quick, enjoyable read.
I hate to admit but it took me quite awhile to get into this one. Around 100 pages or so as a matter of fact. I kept getting lost in the multitude of characters. However, had I noticed the family tree at the back of the book before I started reading, it would have helped me to keep things a little straighter.
I enjoyed learning about Thorfinn (Finn for short) and his family. They are in the midst of planning a wedding for Finn’s sister when a dark being comes to their family homestead and attacks one of Finn’s brothers. Finn starts to research and try to find this being and in the end, runs into a witch. We all know they generally aren’t good for anything. When he gets tangles up with her, he finds himself in a whole new world of mystical beings.
Once I got the hang of the story, I found this to be a very enjoyable book! There is a lot of Norse and Viking history covered, of which I’m not super familiar with but I am learning! I’ll be covering this series through book 3 here shortly!

S.F Benson did a fantastic job putting fantasy, mystery, and magic into one book. Evaline has no clue at first what her Mother left behind, she wanted to find out more. Between the two worlds one in the mirror and the other where Evaline is, there was something trying to come into her world as well. Evaline tries to find out what it is but without her Mother helping to understand her powers it becomes harder for her.
This book is so much page turning it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. If you love mystery, spinning, page-turner, and fantasy this is the book for you.

This book is an amazing read. You get wrapped in the characters and invested in their stories almost immediately. It’s a well-written book and the beginning of the Astoria Bay Thunder series.
This book follows the heart-wrenching and heart-melting love story of Brynn and Levi. Brynn is a woman that has been through a lot in the last couple of years leading up to the start of the book. She is a determined independent powerhouse that won’t let anything prevent her from achieving her dreams. Levi is a professional hockey player that has more than just a few “adoring” female fans.
Read this book to watch their love story unfold and to their fall back into love with each other. Like all great love stories, you get to watch these endure many things that should have torn their love apart. You won’t want to put this book down once you start. The book is the perfect length not too long and not too short. Would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys romance and enemies to lovers.

I’ve read several books that include demon hunters and this book didn’t disappoint. I would categorize myself as a sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal genre lover at times although I enjoy reading pretty much anything fiction. I especially like reading books with strong female characters like Rovena. I easily got interested in Rovena and what makes her special. As I continued to read I became more and more invested in Rovena, the world she lives and works in. The author did a wonderful job with character descriptions, the world they strive to survive in, and building up the story to make the reader want to continue reading more. I think many reader will enjoy reading this book.

THE COOL THING: A DARK COMEDY. OR NOT. is the first book in THE COOL THING SERIES. It’s a satisfyingly weird book that takes the kind of yuckier, messier parts of humanity and gives them a good shake up with some truly wacky sci-fi elements. I’m always a fan of a detailed book that really captures my imagination, and this definitely did that. Somehow, the level of grossness at times made it even more vivid and tangible for me, and I was really drawn in. Like, we see former sporting hero Carl trying to salvage a pack of cigarettes that had an unfortunate encounter with a bottle of beer. I’m pretty sure I could smell and taste them as I was reading. I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re looking for loveable characters. But you’ll certainly find interesting characters here! Readers may find some of the content offensive or upsetting, and this is definitely not a book for younger readers. This book gets five stars from me. I was totally engrossed, and really enjoyed it! It has me looking for the weird and magical in the everyday, which is wonderful!

Or Not. by Robert Rife – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
This book follows EmVee and her family after they move to a new town. It is a great story about a girl doing what she can for her family. EmVee is a fighter with the hopes of taking that dream farther. You get to follow her on her journey to discover more about the mysterious new town her family has ended up in.
The book has a great storyline that is pretty easy to follow. It’s a great starter book for someone who has not read too much in the fantasy genre. I have not read much fantasy in the last few years so this was a great option. The fantasy aspect is not just thrown into your face which was a nice change from some other books in the genre.
It was very well written and I enjoyed that it was a quick read. I enjoyed that once I got sucked into the novel, I could finish the whole thing versus having to put the book down to sleep or go to work.

The Liminal Space is the second book in T.S. Simons’ exciting Antipodes series. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, with survivors connected by Stargate-esque portals, this series has me totally hooked! One of the things I particularly like about the series is the opportunity to travel to different parts of the world, which makes it a great lockdown read (if you can cope with the “disease wiping out most of life on Earth” plot at the moment). In this sequel, Cam has grown and learnt a lot. He is confident in what he has to offer to his community, and is learning to let go of things outside of his control. All of the characters are adapting to the new way of life, but also missing aspects of their old lives and wondering if things ever could go back to normal. This series is very much a series for today’s world. As well as themes that relate to our experiences with COVID-19, there is a huge focus on environmental issues and our responsibilities towards the planet. It is a thought-provoking book that I would recommend to young adult readers. It gets five stars from me!

Simons – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
This book first transported me back in time to London in the late 1800’s, and then it transported me into a mirror world! I am a big fan of fantasy and mystery, which made delving into this book and discovering new worlds so much fun. I highly enjoyed Evaline’s strong-willed personality, her independence, and her tenacity! I cannot imagine being a woman in her time with all of the societal pressures and what a “woman’s rightfully place” is. She handled it with spunk and never stopped being true to herself. This book brought in so many elements of classic stories (Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes, etc) and spun them into one with magic and mystery and mayhem. Definitely a worthwhile fantasy read and I am excited to see where the story goes from here!

I truly enjoyed this story. It kept me guessing throughout. I have to say that I normally shy away from books that include paranormal elements. However, I went out of my comfort zone with this one and it was an excellent choice. While some of these elements featured prominently in the story it did not feel forced or even farfetched. I really really found myself loving these characters and invested in their futures.
Roxanne has just faced a major tragedy. She carries around the blame and guilt for that day and it is manifesting itself in her life in different ways. To help distract herself she takes a job caring for the award winning author Claudette. Claudette is dying and refusing to go into a hospital or nursing home, rather she would prefer to stay in her house.
As the job begins, Roxanne is warned that Claudette is not amenable to having a caregiver. However, on Roxanne’s first day she discovers that is not necessarily the case. Claudette takes a quick liking to Roxanne and she asks her to help Claudette finish her final book. She also asks that Roxanne become her ghost writer after she passes away.
As Roxanne begins to read over the notes Claudette has for her, strange things begin happening to Roxanne. She is hearing music coming from a music box in the attic. Then she begins to hear voices. She believes at first that she is losing her mind and that what she is seeing and hearing is related to the tragedy she experienced. However, she quickly realizes that ghost writer has a completely different meaning to Claudette. Roxanne is seeing and hearing the main character in the book Claudette is asking her to help finish. As time goes on, Roxanne realizes that this book is far more personal than Claudette has ever let on and that Phillip, the main character in the book she is writing may not be as fictional as she once thought.

Evaline Wainwright is the daughter of a well to do gentleman, who is also a practitioner of magic and Evaline has inherited this talent as well, although in London in 1888, this is frowned upon and can lead to a whole host of problems if it is discovered that you practice magic without a license and as a woman, Evaline is not likely to be able to procure one any time soon. As well as practitioners of magic, her parents are occult archeologists and have spent most of their lives researching into and finding artefacts of great power, that is until Evaline’s mother passed away and her father retired from the field because of it, but Evaline wishes to follow a similar path and become a great detective, but this is frowned upon as well.
As Evaline starts her day in the usual manner, she is about to start helping her father with some work when a strange woman clothed all in black with a severe countenance requests a meeting with him. Her father ushers Evaline out of the room so that the discussion can be held with privacy, however, Evaline cannot help herself and listens in. This is where she overhears the woman asking her father for help to retrieve an artefact which can not only save her world, but the one the mystery woman inhabits as well. This news of alternate worlds is news to Evaline, however, she just cannot resist a mystery and a chance to prove her skills, so when she overhears where the woman will be staying, she makes up her mind to go and speak to her herself, even though it is against the wishes of all those around her.
While all this is happening, Evaline is also trying to avoid an arranged marriage and spend time with her beau without the watchful eyes of her father and the staff whom he employs, however, when the two of them end up being transported to the mysterious world of Londinium by the mystery woman, the decision as to whether to investigate is taken out of their hands. As they learn more about their surroundings, Evaline and her beau realise that the sun never shines there, the weather and the purple are perpetually miserable and Doctor Death is the one pulling all the strings, but how does this all connect to the strange woman’s request of Evaline’s father?
This is a historical mystery which will keep you on the edge of your seat as you explore Londinium and solve the clues in this fast paced fantasy, with elements of Sherlock Holmes and the paranormal throughout.

I am a HUGE fan of this series and was SO excited to read the newest installment. As predicted, it did not disappoint. It has been a long time since I read book number three, so I could have easily reread it to refresh my memory but I couldn’t wait to dive right in. Literally my only “complaint” is that I had a foggy memory when it came to some of the characters. Of course, this in no way impacted the storyline or quality of writing. I love that not only does this book have action and suspense it has well written and developed characters with a genuine bond between each other. I feel as though not only are they closely connected, they’re written in a way that feels like they’re my best friends too. I can not recommend this book (or series) enough!

Evaline is a necromancer who sees herself as a future detective. She looks up to Sherlock Holmes and wants to follow in his footsteps. Life has other plans for her. Being a woman in the late 1800s, she doesn’t have many rights. Her father has arranged a marriage to a man she does not like at all. Everything she wants to do is frowned upon, even her magical abilities.
A woman, named Nerezza, shows up seeking help from Evaline’s father. A creature called Dr. Death is wreaking havoc upon her world and there is an artifact she thinks can stop the creature. Unfortunately after the death of his wife, he stepped back in his normal job for unearthing valuable artifacts. Evaline’s interest is piqued and she decides to follow the woman and offer her help.
Nerezza decides to take advantage of Evaline’s offer and flings her into her own world which is a mirror version of London. Evaline has to use her wits and magic to help find this artifact and Dr. Death.
Someone else said that this is like Alice in Wonderland meets Sherlock Holmes and I completely agree with that statement. It was exciting and mysterious and kept me on the edge of my seat. Ending on a cliffhanger, I cannot wait for the second book of the series!

This is the fourth book in this series and the best yet. This series keeps getting better and better with every installment. This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up. This is a well written story where the author used their writing skills and attention to details to make the story pop. This is a great romance story that has some twists of suspense added to it. A story about two people who are trying to make things work but a serial killer has something else in mind. There are a lot of things happening in this story but the author did a great job of keeping me engaged. The characters are strong, connectable and supportive of each other. They had me coming back for more. They made the story easy and entertaining to read which just added to the story. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

This is a series that I have enjoyed right from the beginning and I love this new addition to it. This book is easily my favourite in the series so far. I just loved getting to know Andy and Stella, their relationship seemed so precious and exactly what they both needed. And I was really rooting for Stephen to find a way to be a part of the family again. Then came the mystery and intrigue of the killer targeting them. For me, that just added a whole new layer to the story and made it so much more enjoyable. The author has really caught my attention with this book and I could not put it down. Not only is this an already strong series – this book for me is fantastic all on its own.

This book was such a fun read. I read a lot of reviews comparing it to Alice in Wonderland, I was iffy about it, but it’s not a retelling, and it only has some similarities. It is the perfect combination of paranormal, adventure, mystery, magic and so much more. it was so exciting to read about Evaline’s adventure and story. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. would definitely recommend it!
