Class Clown (Ghost Girl Series) by Allan Evans – Review by Ashley Showalter-Bourgeois

Class ClownClass Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First off I’ll have to say I hate clowns. I think that they are creepy and most definitely belong in a horror novel. That being said, this book was marvelous. Horror stories have always been one of my go to genres, and this one proved that even young adult ghost stories can make me jump. The characters were likeable, the plot unique. Scary clowns, spooky ghosts, and a read that can’t be put down. Bravo 🙂 can’t wait to read more

Until There Was You by G. Colgrove – Review by Angela Shirley

Until there was youUntil there was you by G. Colgrove
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Regan always thought she was cursed, wanting to leave Boston and travel the world. Being the first in her family to graduate her world was ahead of her but in one walked Jeremy and her world stood still.

Jeremy is destine to inherit Stone Development, he has worked hard to prove to his father that he is capable to takeover the business. So this project in Boston starts off great he has the backing but when they step into the diner across from one of the developments and he sees her, all his dreams and aspirations do not seem that important anymore.

This is the first story I have read by this author and I really enjoyed the well written and developed characters. I loved the sassy, strong character of Regan, she knew what she wanted as was not afraid to let Jeremy know exactly what she was thinking and feeling.

Jeremy for me was a great character to match the strong willed character of Regan, but with him being that bit older his responsibilities to his family made your heart ache for the both of them. I loved the secondary characters and would love to know the story behind Shane her brother in the end and does Phillip find his love as I wish he was my best friend also.

All-round I loved this book from start to finish, the story was engaging and at times my heart did break for the two main characters, thank you for a great book I can’t wait to read more.

My Valentine’s Day Cookie Match (Welcome to Cupid’s Cove) by C.A. King – Review by Karyn Taylor

My Valentine's Day Cookie Match: Welcome to Cupids CoveMy Valentine’s Day Cookie Match: Welcome to Cupids Cove by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great, heart-warming contemporary romance that I devoured in a few hours. It’s a feelgood romance that was great to read after having read a heavy, dark romance before it. I enjoy both types but this was just what the doctor ordered at the time.
Marketing specialist Graham has decided on a career move, opening a cookie shop with the added bonus of having a dating app based on your purchases. Very apt in a town called Cupid’s Cove. What he doesn’t expect is Lara, the mayor’s daughter, whose family own the local bakery. Intent on hating Graham for proving competition, she’s surprised by how much the two of them click.
As always, true love never run’s smoothly and Graham and Lara’s love is put to a very big test to prove just how true it is.
This is a great read, which I really enjoyed and would definitely recommend it to others, especially if you are looking for a quick, heart-warming read to lose yourself in for a few hours.

A Tormented Man’s Soul Part 1 (Grimm Wolves MC Series Book 5) by D.M. Earl – Review by Lorrene Huisman

A Tormented Man's Soul (Grimm Wolves MC Book #5)A Tormented Man’s Soul by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been reading this series since book number 1, and each time I am hooked and amazed by the amazing writing. The author is very good at what they do, and craft a engaging story that gives you a lot of feels and emotions, and most certainly, this was a book I could not put down. Very compelling!

This one follows the lines of the other books in the series. This time around, Chains and his story is finally told. I have patiently waited for his story for quite some time. I knew had a a lot of layers that must have been caused by past stuff, but I never imagined it would go as deep as this story allowed it to go! The past truly haunts him, but the 2 souls that care abut him help him even in his darkest times and darkest hours. It was really beautiful in truth to read that. I enjoyed reading and learning of Chains and all he had to undergo. It really made me feel for him. I defiantly sensed as well as felt the strong character development. This book alone was a must read. Defiantly worth picking up and giving it a read!

Amazing series, and this installment was a freaking wow factor type of read. Highly recommend this series if you have not read the prior books. This book alone was amazing and full of spirit and emotion. Not one to be passed up by any means. Highly recommend this must read book/series!

Slash & Burn (Nite Fire, #4)Slash & Burn by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is just another great book in this series. This book has continued the series and I have been long awaiting this book. I have read the whole series so far and I find it just gets better as it goes on. I like how the author keeps the balance of drama and intrigue. I really was at the end of my chair as I got further into the book. I didn’t want to put it down.

I was really interested how the author would carry on after the ending of the last one and I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the mix of supernatural and human characters. I really like how the author is able to weave the story and branch it to make the series flow and grow. I really cannot wait to read more from this author cause if the ending of this book is anything to go by there is so much more to come.

Sashimi (Evil Sushi #2)Sashimi by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the first book in the series, and this one certainly had the same effect and appeal on me as the first in the series did! This one I think I may have actually enjoyed it a bit more in truth! This one had just as convincing depth to the story, and a world that is in chaos, and not sure when the end is in sight!

The story continues from the cause and effect of the first one. The strong suspense, and thrill continues in this one as well. I was completely captivated even more with the events that were happening as well as the strong character development that greatly added nicely to the surrounding story. This story is very fast pace and certainly not dull in any form. I loved this series and this installment. I am curious where this could go next, this is a series, as well as book not to be passed up by any means!

I love this author for all the characters and worlds they create. This series quickly became a favorite of mine. And this book alone truly captivated me! Highly recommend tp read this series if you have not had the pleasure yet, and this author too! High recommendation from me as its a must read!

I read this book to my 3 year old granddaughter who currently loves anything mermaids. She wasn’t old enough to understand the science they were doing, but she loved looking at the pictures and being read the story. I think it is a very good short kids story and I am interested in more to share with her. I did like that soon she will be able to try the experiments out herself.

This was a really cute book! This book is bright, colorful and engaging for children. It’s very adventurous and sweet. I enjoyed reading this one myself. I think my daughter will enjoy it when she gets older, but for right she seems a little too young to completely understand the story and the concept. I can’t wait to read this to her when she gets older!

Forbidden Love: Book 1 of the Forbidden Duet by KM Lowe – Review by Karyn Taylor

Forbidden Love - Book 1 of The Forbidden DuetForbidden Love – Book 1 of The Forbidden Duet by K.M. Lowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first instalment of a duet that I’m pretty sure I will read again if this first book is anything to go by. I had read one of this author’s books before and had really enjoyed it, so I has no issues reading more of this author’s work.
Can I say, I really loved this book. It had my emotions all over the place. My heart broke for Kally and Clark so many times. No one deserves the heartache that their families put the two of them through. I pray that they get their well deserves HEA.
This book will really tug on the heart strings. I don’t think I’ve hated anyone as much as I hated Clark’s brother Colton. That man is just pure evil.
The author does a brilliant job is grabbing you tightly at the beginning of the book and keeping a tight grasp right through and not letting you go. As the first part of a duet, there is more of this fascinating story still to come and I can’t wait to read it.

Finding Melodie and The Wedding Special Boxset by Laura Rossi – Review by Jamie Truex

Melodie Boxset (Melodie #1-2)Melodie Boxset by Laura Rossi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Absolutely recommend this book. It’s a cute little love story that I just couldn’t put down! Melodie is a street musician in London. Artistic, tattoos, piercings and pink hair! She’s secretly crushing on Office Guy, a “square” who spends every lunch break on a bench facing her and listening to her play. One day he talks to her and their lives will never be the same. Do opposites really attract?

Pixie and Office Guy have been together a year now and still going strong. He pops the question and she says yes of course! Then the doubts set in. Is she good enough to make him happy? Is she marriage material? Will his family approve? I really enjoyed the next chapter in the lives of Melodie and Issac. I read both books in less than 24 hours!

Cute book and story! The illustrations were great, the adventure was one I think a child would enjoy, and the celebration of one’s unbirthday would make any child giddy with excitement. This starts to give children examples of respect and trade all while still having a nice adventure. I think it would make a good addition to any young person’s library.

I have been a long time fan of this amazing author, but I have not yet had the chance to read this one. Needless to say I devoured it! It was so good from start to finish, I could not get enough. The world and the characters as well as what was going on, it was a bit crazy but awesome!

A find leads to a change. What would that change bring though? I was involved very much in this book as well with all the characters. This “find” leads to a lot of things, and things get a bit out of this world sort to say, I was on the edge of my seat wanting t o know what would end up happening next! I was hooked, and the story certainly never slowed down and highly kept my interest. I loved the ending how it was left open for part 2. So needless to say, i am looking forward to reading the next installment!

Amazing writing and book. It was different in many ways than I could have ever imagined! I was surely not disappointed! Highly recommend this book and this author! Prepare for sleepless nights!

Welcome to the Mafia Elite and the 5 families who run it. This is Book 5 and involves Luc Savino and Summer Johansson. After a one night stand, decided by both. This couple’s lives go down a different path. As Summer heads to work the next day to discover she has a new boss. The company she worked for as a sub, has been bought.

This book is cute. The artwork is well done and contributes to the story. I like that it is teaching children about how the world sometimes interconnects and sometimes by helping one person, you can help others. Caspian is given a present on his UnBirthday by his grandfather of a pad and a pencil that can write by itself, and seemingly predict the future. It first writes a single word, and once Caspian is able to obtain that one item, he tries again, and it gives him the name of a person he knows, so he finds this person and it turns out the item helps the person. I do feel like it was a bit short, but otherwise, I liked it.

S.B. Alexander is a new author but what a mind she has. She has a knack for making you feel like you have new friends and you want to be part of the group in the story. Layla is a vampire hunter and Sam is that sexy Navy seal except he is a vampire as well. What can go wrong with these two right? or what can go right? The passion, grit, and love of these two are put to the challenge in more than one way, but what happens when the only one that can help you is the one you are sworn to annihilate??

Fast paced and filled with action. Then there is the chemistry which is OFF the CHARTS. Scenes between Sam and Layla so HOT! I loved all the anticipation between them!

This is filled with great characters! I enjoyed them all….even the bad ones. Everyone brought something to the table that is a little bit different. They impressed me and made me irritated… then I would roll my eyes at something silly. I really enjoyed them and can’t wait to find out more about them.

Sadly this does end on a cliffhanger…I am not a fan of them. I wish this could have ended differently and we could move to other characters in future books. In fact I would love a Tripp/Rianne or a white wolf story.

Overall this is an amazing story filled with characters I came to care about. I look forward to more in this series.

Things are changing and some changes are good while others might not be.

This is such a sweet romance with so many moments that made me laugh out loud. I really love that Melody isn’t the typical cookie cutter heroine. She’s unique, she speaks up for herself and doesn’t take crap and she’s so carefree. It’s so interesting to read her observations about the people that come to listen to her play and the way she immediately falls for Office Guy the second she lays eyes on him. He isn’t the type she typically goes for either which might be just what she needs to get it right this time. Sometimes you really do need someone that is the complete opposite of you to balance each other out. I was rooting for them from the very beginning. They face some obstacles along the way that really had me glued to the book wait to see what would happen next, but the ending is definitely swoon worthy. This is one adorable romcom that you won’t want to miss.
