My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow. This book was unexpectedly so good! Morning is a single woman in her 30’s and a nurse and the Emergency Center. She experiences a traumatic event and ends up with unbelievable abilities. She has 3 friends and a dog, he’s an English bull dog at that. She prefers tea over coffee and lives like a bachelor when it comes to keeping her fridge stocked and knowing how to really cook. She meets Caleb as well the new doc on the “block. The story is based in Michigan and is funny, cute, thrilling and sweet all in one. It kept me engaged for sure!

Pilot Who Knows the Waters (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 6)Pilot Who Knows the Waters by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read and enjoyed each book in this series, and was looking forward to this instalment, and I was definitely not disappointed. The adventures of Egyptian diplomat Hani continued, and as usual I was hooked from page one. I would personally recommend reading the books in order, so that you know Hani’s backstory. In book six, Hani has to secretly obtain a Hittite bridegroom for Queen Meryet-amen, but Ay and the faction behind Prince Tut-ankh-aten are opposed, and willing to turn to violence. The death of an artisan appears to be connected to Ay, and his determination to see his grandson on the throne. When another death brings Egypt to the brink of war Hani’s diplomatic skills are thoroughly tested.
As usual the wonderfully written storyline had me gripped and the plot twists kept me guessing. The descriptive narrative and historical details brought the setting and era vividly to life, and I felt immersed in Hani’s world. After six books I feel like Hani is an old friend, and I enjoyed being with him working out one last mystery, as sadly this is the final book in ‘The Lord Hani Mysteries’ series. I will miss Hani, he’s a great character and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the whole series, as each book has been a real page turner. This was an enjoyable and engaging read, which kept me happily turning the pages well into the night!

Pursuit into Darkness (War of Destiny Book #2) by Theresa Van Spankeren – Review by Angela Hayes

Pursuit into Darkness (War of Destiny, #2)Pursuit into Darkness by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Pursuit Into Darkness is the second instalment in the War of Destiny series by Theresa Van Spankeren. It is an original story- a vampire saga with wonderful atmospheric world building, the paranormal, danger, politics, agendas, dramatic developments, intrigue, interesting characters, layers, and emotion.
This is set seventy years after the event of Book One, so I recommend reading the first book before diving into this instalment. Julia’s life has remained fairly undisturbed during this time while her abilities continued to strengthen. But fate has more in store for her now as new danger threatens. Fleeing is no longer an option- with no choice but to stand and fight Julia will need to confront more than just the powerful enemy. What ensues makes for some intense reading.
If you love an original take on a vampire story, paranormal elements, emotion, and intrigue- then this is definitely the book/series for you.
Bring on Book #3!
Happy reading!

Thank you, Theresa Van Spankeren!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

No Pistol Tastes the Same by Jacob Paul Patchen is a book that has stayed with me long-after finishing the final page. It is a though-provoking, and at times, confronting story that takes us into the mind of former marine, JP Grimm who suffers from PTSD from a mission-gone-wrong that saw his lose his brothers-in-arms. He grapples with survivors’ guilt and incredible shame- feeling like he’s to blame for not taking aim to prevent the blast that took their lives. Being on home soil again hasn’t eased his struggles, which not only takes a massive toll on him, but also his small family.
The story takes us on a journey with JP as he wrestles with the demons that weigh heavy on his soul. Add to this poignant story danger from an impending disaster- and Mr. Patchen delivers a hard-hitting and gripping read.
Emotive!

Thank you, Jacob Paul Patchen!

Pilot Who Knows the Waters is the sixth book in The Lord Hani Mysteries by N.L Holmes. We set off on another danger-laced adventure with Hani as he navigates the politics, diplomatic issues, royal protocols, and the societal expectations of these ancient times (1335BCE)- all while juggling important responsibilities.
I have loved Hani from the moment we met him back in book one, and I can’t believe we are now six books into this fabulous series- the series definitely gets better with each new release.
This is an historical cozy mystery, set in ancient Egypt (1335BCE)- and as I have come to expect from Ms. Holmes, the story is woven with wonderfully rich historical details, texture, depth, interesting characters, intrigue, agendas, plots, emotion, and dramatic developments which made for a great read.
Looking forward to Hani’s next adventure…
Happy Reading!!

Thank you, N.L Holmes!

This book is adorable! It’s about a woman who has been burned too many times before by her “type” of man. She vows to never go there again, but when you meet a man like this, how can you resist? Read this book if you like romance, wit, and a struggle.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the sixth book in The Lord Hani Mysteries series. This was just as good as the previous books and filled with just as much intrigue and danger. The author does such a fabulous job with the historical details that are included in this story. You can certainly tell that the author has done her research on this era to add that knowledge into the story. I think that just adds to the overall enjoyment in reading this book. I will say that sometimes there may have been a little more ancient terminology included that could have been reduced because it was redundant. But overall, this was a great historical mystery and was a fantastic end to this series. I do recommend that you read these books in their order as opposed to reading as a standalone book because you will have a much more thorough understanding of what the story is all about.

This book was fun read with its own mysterious essence! I loved the plot and the characters and how one thing led to another! The story had its own end game but also had a lot of character development which I loved! The book was very intriguing with how things went about!

I had a lot of fun reading this book. The story had a very interesting appeal that kept me captivated as I read, a lot of adventure, and characters and choices that really impacted the book! I for sure will be reading more in the series after reading this one! I loved the author’s talented writing!

A very enjoyable adventure that brings a lot to the table. I simply loved and enjoyed it both at the same time. Highly recommend this book/author/and this wonderful series I just discovered!

This is a cute book about a dog who is nervous to go to a new place, and has a friend (a squirrel) who is willing to go with him to help him feel more safe and less nervous. This is a great road map for children to learn how to help friends who are having anxiety and fear issues. My grade school aged girls loved the animals in this book, and the message of this book.

This book is a great way to teach kids about inclusion, by using a cute dog they can connect to, to understand that just because something is different doesn’t mean you have to be afraid of it. It also shows kids the effects it can have on someone when you treat them differently just because they are different than you or your normal friends group. My grade school aged girls loved the animals in this book, and related to the story, as they have both felt the way that Jake feels in this book.

I read this book with my soon to be 3rd and 4th grade daughters (or rather, let them read it to me). They loved the dogs and how cute they are, and I loved how much it teaches them about handling anxiety and about inclusion. This book is a great book to not only teach kids about managing anxiety (face your fears, instead of hiding from them, for instance), but also to teach kids about accepting people with disabilities (in this case, a dog with a missing leg). This is an excellent way to show kids how to include others.

Kate MacInnis seamlessly takes you into the world of nursing and gives you a main character that is entirely relatable… even when she starts seeing ghosts! This book has a little bit of everything – trauma, healing, life and death, paranormal activity, romance, and more. I highly enjoyed being thrown into Morgan’s life and watching her traverse the unknown. This book is like taking your favorite medical show and combining it with Ghost Whisperer. All of the drama and twists in this book really hooked me! I am excited to continue on Morgan’s journey in the next book.

Pilot Who Knows the Waters (Lord Hani, #6)Pilot Who Knows the Waters by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 6 of the Lord Hani Mystery series. The drama and adventures unfold in this book. Sometimes it seems as if Hani is stuck in between a rock and a hard place by those in power above him. At times, I wonder if they will make it through some of those situations. This time, it seems like a mission that hits close to home as it hits near his wife’s dream. How far can he survive on his diplomatic skills? He has some great skills but can they get him what he needs to solve the problem? The book is wonderful. Well-written. The author does her research. Lots of history and archeology. I love the characters in these books because they feel real. The plot flows along really well. It’s very engaging. You can’t help but be intrigued by the mystery. I love coming away feeling that I’ve learned more information while enjoying a good read. Highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 4 of the Lord Hani Mystery series. This installment is full of adventure, drama, and a lot hard choices that Hani. The author does such great research that I have a hard time putting the book down. I am pulled into the book from the beginning and don’t stop until I’m done. Hani finds himself not sure what’s going on when the King starts praising him. Should he trust him? Then a couple of other mysteries come up. One involves his daughter and court issues. Oh man, that would be enough to break a parent. But Hani gets through all of this and solves the mysteries. He’s a strong character and with the help of his supporting crew, all is well (for the moment). On to the next book. This is an intriguing book. You can read it alone or in the series. I recommend reading it in order. Terrific read.

Book 3 of the Lord Hani Mysteries is mystery, suspense and a dramatic adventure all wrapped up in one. Hani was trying to figure out what was going on with the robberies. What saw what was happening and who were his real enemies? Amid a plague? People collapsing… Hani again has his hands full. You can read this stand alone or in the series order. I suggest you read it in order. I am loving this series. The action is engaging. You will be pulled in right from the start. The author just writes you right into the story. The characters feel like someone you know.
The plot just flows along smoothly. This is really one of the best series I’ve ever read. I’m not usually a history fiction reader but I love her series. The way she includes true facts about the history of Egypt just grab you. Fascinating story. I loved every minute of it. I’m looking forward to more books in the series. Again, I highly recommend this series

Book 2 in the Lord Hani Mysteries is a continuation, and it is even more intriguing as the story develops. The author’s writing pulls me in from the beginning and continues as the story builds all the way through to the end. Again, the research put into the history of Egypt is so on top of it. I always come away with new facts. Hani and his family are well-written characters that make you want to dive into the story because you feel like you know them. The plot runs smoothly along. Another installment that enthralling and makes you want to learn more about Egypt and history. I recommend this story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a story that took me on NUMEROUS ups and downs and twists and turns! It really kept me on the edge of my seat and reading late into the night. I really enjoyed all the character development as well. This is slated as a brothers best friend and billionaire boss story. I would disagree with that..oh it has a touch of those elements but I feel it is more of a romantic suspense story. Each of the lead characters has a problematic past. Remi and Audri do have that push and pull because of their joint childhood and her brother which I loved.

Overall I really enjoyed this one! I loved the characters, the dramatic suspense plus that sexy romance between the alpha male and his desired lady. One of my favorites things is the whole backstory to these boys/friends. What a wonderful idea to base these books on. I am hoping each of the guys creating the game will get a story! I am SO looking forward to it!

Queen of Hearts (Heels, Rhymes & Nursery Crimes, #21)Queen of Hearts by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Queen of Hearts is a part of a series called Heels, Rhymes, and Nursery Crimes, that is made up of 27 standalone books by various authors. Queen of Hearts is book 21 in the series by Natalina Reis. I absolutely love any rendition of Alice in Wonderland and the Queen of Hearts. This book is devious, dark and twisty, as well as a fantasy romance. One of the main points of the story is that the Queen of Hearts, Mimi, punishes any man that is abusive towards women or a cheater. She does not punish them in the way that you would assume. One would immediately think that she’s an apothecary, she must kill the men, but she doesn’t…. she renders their genitals useless. Definitely a fast-paced story that keeps you on the edge of you seat waiting for what happens next. Mimi has never had any issues with her plans until she meets the richest and by farthest evilest men. She must make him pay, but she has to be smart, meticulous. Will her plan be the cause of her demise, or will she prevail? Definitely a page turner and must read!

It had astrology and some merfolk too! I loved reading the story from different the characters perspective. I don’t get to read stories like that very often so that was a nice treat. All of the main characters were likeable and I enjoyed the bit of romance that this story had as well. This story is part of a multi author series and I am excited to read more stories in this world!
I would recommend this story to a friend!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Human Hearts is the epic conclusion to the Draco Sang series by Mary Beesley. It follows on from Dragon’s Blood (Book #1) and Wolf Pack (Book #2). I came into this series backwards and have read this book without reading the previous two… and I am kicking myself for not realising sooner and for not starting at the beginning. While I did enjoy this book, I feel I would have appreciated everything so much more if I had read it in sequence, and as part of the series… So, in saying that I have decided to go back to the beginning and start the series fresh, and complete. Stay tuned for updates…
This is an epic YA fantasy with superbly detailed and descriptive world-building- and some very interesting characters. It has all the ingredients to keep you glued to the pages, and not want to miss a second. From action and adventure to danger and dramatic developments, the paranormal, dragons, warriors, assassins, conflict and tension, and emotion- all makes for gripping reading. The story is told from several POV’s which really gave the story an extra element of interest for me. I just wish I had been following them right from the beginning, and not wondering what I might be missing by not having read the previous books.
Happy Reading! I am off to explore the series from the beginning…

Thank you, Mary Beesley!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am not usually a big fan of novellas, mostly because they lack the small details of places, things, people and actions that make a story good. However, I find that is not the case with this story. I actually enjoyed it immensely. Mimi “The Queen of Hearts” is desperately trying to rid the world of evil men, by depriving them of the one working part of their anatomy they like the best. By using herbs she is able to render them impotent. Jac is her new dealer and he also wants to be her partner. Disaster strikes and they must flee. The details in this story are great and you really get to know the players. I am excited for the next in this series.

Cute, feel good read! I thoroughly enjoyed the book and felt like the characters were my old friends! First Maria Jane book that I have read, but certainly won’t be my last.

Since Bree finds it’s jocks that she seems to gravitate towards and therefore has sworn all jocks and athletes off her list of potential dates! Deciding that she was in need of a change, Bree leaves the rat race of the corporate world and accepted a job teaching high school & coaching basketball. While playing tennis, Bree encounters Nate—a handsome jock, who would normally check all Bree’s boxes. True to her word, she tells Nate that they would never be more than friends. As Bree dates other people here & there, she finds herself becoming more & more attracted to Nate and wonders if he really could be the perfect man for her!

Bree has had some bad breakups and has imposed a set of rules for herself about dating. Of course as new men enter the picture that interest her, she’s going to have to break some of her own rules in order to date them.

This is a cute, fun read about figuring out who you are and what you want, and don’t want, in life. I didn’t realize it was the third book in a series until I was half way thru it. It can definitely be a stand alone book but it was such a cute story that I’ll probably go back and read the first two.
