Fury of Conviction (“Villains” of the Dragonfury Series Book 2) by Coreen Callahan
4 Star!!!!

I have once again found a new series and start out of order but don’t feel out of sink. I really love the author’s concept and I love dragons. I really could not put this book down. I am just hooked on dragon books and love dragon romances. I really like how the author was able to make this series one that flows with cliff hangers.

Hamersveld and Natalie have a complex love story and I for one love the fact that it is filled with drama and complexity. It makes it so much better story wise if it isn’t predictable and like a carbon of another series. I love the fact that the book ends on a cliff hanger and it really makes me excited for the next. Bring me more is all I can say and let me delve into the world of dragons!

Finders Reapers (New Orleans Nocturnes) AUDIO BOOK by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Shelly Kittell

/0 Comments/in , /by

 

Finders Reapers Audiobook By Carrie Pulkinen cover artI really enjoyed this read. It was quite humorous. Though the main characters are a necromancer and a reaper the author made this story quite humorous. The innuendo, the comfort food made by angels, just stuffing souls hither and there (into cats, wherever they might fit). Hey, who knew what might happen if a reaper took a vacation. I do think the story could have used more male narration. Hollie Jackson did a fine job narrating, I just felt the reaper needed a masculine voice. A perfect story set in New Orleans, home to ghosts, spirits and haunted everything. You really should read this story if you are looking for a fun cozy mystery. You’ll get a chuckle and a mystery to solve. I will be looking for more by the author to read.

Sign Steal Deliver (Gods of Thunder MC)Sign Steal Deliver by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sign Steal Deliver is part of a multi-author series, but it can be read as a standalone.

This is not my usual read, but a comedy every now and then breaks up all the angst of the stories I normally lose myself in. I found this book to be a quick, easy read. A lot of humorous moments – particularly the incident with the cream and the deodorant scene. It’s fun to see the gods dealing with things in the human world. The characters are fun and quirky. Loved the addition of the snakes. It gave the story a unique twist.

Overall, a fast, fun story that will keep you turning the pages while laughing the entire time.

This is the first book that I have listened to by this author and I will absolutely be looking to listen to more from her again in the future. I love baking so I think that really helped me relate to the main character Cat, I really liked and her and enjoyed listening to the story her. I loved the recipes too!

Defined (The Cadence Duet Book Two) AUDIO BOOK

By Dakota Willink

4 Stars

 

After listening to book 1 in this series I was really excited to find out what was going to happen to Cadence and Fitz. This followed on from book 1 albeit 17 years later. I would highly recommend listening to book 1 first to fully understand the dynamics of this couple’s relationship. I’m not 100% sure I liked this book as much as book 1 but it was still a really enjoyable listen, some great twists and turns in the story too. The narrators again were excellent and really brought the story to life. They still kept tup that connection between the two characters and made it feel real and genuine.

I really enjoyed listening to this duet and I would absolutely recommend it.

It really amazes me about genetic killers. I enjoyed this book because you never know who you’re chatting with and it was a good reminder.

Mann in the Crossfire (Jarvis Mann Detective Series Book 8) by R W Weir. I love this series and I couldn’t wait for this installment. It did not disappoint.

There is substance to the storyline, a mystery to unravel and the slow burn starts to ramp up in this book. A bit of a sneak peek into book 3 has me anxiously wanting it now!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One voice links the multiple beings from multiply dimensions but can they find the meaning behind it.

Can they with help from special mentors along the way battle against the evil which is trying to destroy them and overcome to help the good win.

I have to say this is not normally a genre that interests me at all but I was recommended it to read and although at first it took a few chapters to get into it I thoroughly enjoyed the overall story. The book opens up to make you think about your views and aspects of multi realities and space and it was a brilliant world that was conjured up with the pages of this book.

I do have to say if you are not good at reading or following multiply perspectives and narratives in a book this may not be a book for you. Although this add the dimension to the book that I really enjoyed. The characters where so different and unique in the way they were portrayed and written that the story flowed brilliantly and engaging.

As this the first book in this authors collection I thought it was a great effort and will continue to read the next book in this progression through reality.

Surprising until the very end! I adore books that keep you guessing, and Michele PW kept me guessing. The Third Nanny was so thrilling to read. I quickly fell in love with Janey and wanted nothing more than to see her reunited with her sister. Every character in the book is cleverly written. Twists and turns played with my emotions like not many books can do. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I was proved wrong and surprised again. The biggest shock of all was the ending! I’m so glad I found this book!

This Sci-Fi creation takes your imagination on whirlwind of 5 different individuals as they navigate personal beliefs, personal struggles, and the overall connection they each somehow have. Its such a fun story that you cant help but want to read from start to finish with no distractions. The relatable characters and life lessons no matter the world they inhabit made the story even more lifelike.
There were so many things about this book that can be said! James Talisman took us on quite the adventure with his Multiverse and the many different characters who inhabit it. The worlds were wonderfully crafted with the most well thought out characters and their intricately woven stories. This book was a complete page turner, and has me revved up for the sequel.

Journeys through Spacetime is the first book in the series. It sets the tone for what to expect and boy did it deliver. This is my first sci-fi book I’ve read and I can’t wait for more. It has multiple characters in multiple universes and the way the Author gets down to the even tiniest detail is amazing. The story has danger of course, it has a lot of mystery and just a little bit of excitement. While reading the book I came to really enjoy it because it kept me on the edge of my seat. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series. I definitely feel like this book deserves 5 stars.

The Third Nanny (Secrets of Redemption) by Michele Pariza Wacek was an intense psychological thriller that made you not want to put the book down. The book follows Janey who is on the hunt for her missing sister, Kelly, in the hopes of saving her. Each new detail brought new questions and made you wonder, who done it? I found myself trying to solve the mystery along with Janey but started to question everything at the end. The Third Nanny will keep you at the edge of your seat with a shocking end that you’ll never see coming. I highly recommend that you have an afternoon to read this as you will not want to put it down.

Master Descallia is the first book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. Not going to lie, Ms. Black had me at dark vampire romance- I one-clicked no questions asked. Who doesn’t love a sizzling hot vampire romance- I know I do. And I am happy to say that this book does not disappoint. I was hooked, and completely invested, right from the get-go!
This is one series that I will happily follow wherever Ms. Black takes us- and if this book is anything to go by, the rest of the series is set to be amazing!
Can’t wait for more!

Thank you, Sylvia Black!

The Singer and Her Song (Empire at Twilight #2)The Singer and Her Song by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Singer and Her Song by N. L. Holmes is the second book in the Empire at Twilight series.
This is a story that quickly transports you back in time. When your world is turned upside down,
what can you do but survive? Uqnitum is in that very position and has very little to start out with.
Trying to survive after your village has been destroyed is one thing, doing it with children is
a completely different struggle.

There were plenty of times throughout the tale that I struggled with Uqnitum’s controlling behavior
and temper, but there are also some points that I completely aligned with. We are not always
perfect parents. At the end of the day, we still try to do what is best for our families.

This is definitely a story that will tug at your heart strings.

I need Book 3 Now!
Fury of Conviction by Coreen Callahan is book 2 in the “Villains” of the Dragonfury series.
Although part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone.
This is my first dragon shifter book and boy am I happy I started with one by Coreen Callahan!

This is a short story and can be read in just a couple hours. I really enjoyed the relationship between Natalie and Hamersveld.
Hamersveld is working though his own struggles, trying to decide how or if he’s going to defy the rules and help Natalie.
Being held captive, Natalie is just looking for a way out period! Little does she know; she has someone on her side to help her with that. But how far will she go?

Ending on a cliff with a steep edge, I am not so patiently waiting for the next installment of this story! I need to know!!! But in the meantime, I guess I can keep myself busy with her other books 🙂

In An Enduring Love, Rhys is told that his love and wife has died and that he is not allowed to go back to Latvia to find proof so regretfully goes on with his life. As soon as he is about to move on, he is confronted by Rebecca showing up at his door with their child. Unfortunately, the pacing felt very strange to me as there was a moment that suddenly a few years went by and there was barely any separation. The verbiage was trying to be appropriate for the time period of the story ended up feeling heavy and confusing which led me to be taken out of the book instead of immersed in it. I also expected the story to be an arduous adventurous love story overcoming the separation and the upheaval in Latvia, but that ended up only being relevant to like the first couple of chapters.

Master Tuscano: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 2) by Sylvia Black is a dark paranormal Vampire romance story and is another great book in this series. As with the first book Master Descallia I was instantly lost in the story and to the beauty of the harsh world that Sylvia created. Her world building and characterization is spot on. It is also just as fast paced, intense, full of suspense and steaming hot as the first book. I am hooked on this series and love what Sylvia has done so far. She has quickly become someone who I will follow to see what else she brings. More, I want more.

I was so excited that I got to read The God: Her Three Immortals after I love Hazel Storms first book, The Don! I read The Don and loved it, so I had some expectations going into this story. In my experience sequels to stories can sometimes disappoint, in this case it was just the opposite! It was just as good as the first. Steamy, powerful, captivation and intriguing. A little slow in some parts but not even close to enough to have me putting it down. I read this in one sitting as well as the first, I needed all the answers! I loved Hazel Storms take on the underworld, I don’t think I have every read something like it, it was a nice refresher. I cannot wait to read more from this author!

I haven’t read any of the rest of the books in Secrets of Redeption series but I feel like they could be read alone novels since this one is.

The God (Her Three Immortals Book 2) by Hazel Storm follows on from the first book The Don. This fun and titillating clever story leave you wanting more. It is a quick read, but an engrossing read that has me laughing. This sexy tale is told from multiple POV’s which make it so much richer. As with the first book this paranormal romance is unique and original. When the Gods like to play you never know just what you are getting yourself into. The Underworld is not like the Upperworld and now she is unsure what to do when you have upset the Don of the Underworld and he has stormed off to God knows where.

Beware the three sexy immortal Gods out of Greek mythology who have set their attention on Vanessa, ooowweeeeee, watch the sparks explode in this reverse harem story.

As Hazel states unfortunately, we are once again stuck with an ending that is somewhat cliffhangery! I love this word.

Houses of Deception by Cynthia Hamilton is Book 6 of the Madeline Dawkins Series. I am glad that I’ve been able to read the books in this series in order. It helps a lot to know the characters and their experiences. The personal and work relationship between Madeline and Mike is refreshing. I love that they’ve seen each other through good and bad times and know when the other might be having a difficult time.

In this book, Madeline and Mike take on two missing person cases that are dumped on their laps. This is not the usual case and when one of the cases turns into a kidnapping they know they are in over their heads. But Madeline and Mike stick with the husband to help him through the problem. The other missing case is close to Madeline’s heart, the missing man is the son of a private detective that helped Madeline when she was in trouble and who was ultimately killed because he was helping Madeline. The story kept my attention and I appreciate that the two cases were written in a way to keep the reader from getting them mixed up. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
