Nobody Knows (Razes Hell Book 1) by Kyra Lennon – Review by Sara Oxton

Nobody KnowsNobody Knows by Kyra Lennon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nobody Knows by Kyra Lennon a rocking five-star read. This is number one In the Razes Hell series and shows us what a great series it shows to be becoming. There were parts that this was not five-star worthy, it was a bot repetitive and could do with a re-edit, as some lines kept repeating later down the page. But overall, the story and characters were well done, and had depth to them, you could feel the push and pull Ellie finds herself in and how she felt about Drew, but the conflicting emotions of Jason will push you at times, but others it pulls you, you can feel why Ellie has the emotional roller-coaster and why there is friction. It breaks your heart as a reader as you feel like you are forced to sit on your hands and not do anything, much like Ellie herself, forced to choose between doing what’s right and doing what those you love need of you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a raw heartbreaking book and very much a slice of life. Climbing the walls is an amazing adventures on the pages told from two different POV. Kris and Nicole. The characters development flows very well. What I love about this book is that these are real everyday people you can relate to. If you like romance with the reality of real life this book is for you. I look forward to seeing more books from this author.

This author has done it again! Each one of her reads I think that she can’t possibly top the last and each time she leaves me speechless with ‘how has she done it again’ and you know how she does it? By her incredible writing style, epic storylines and incredible characters! Each time she will captivate you into her world of fantasy, drama, mystery, suspense, romance & action, you will never ever be bored! I love the depth she gives to this quaint town and the way she has you on the edge of your seat with anticipation, this read is everything and more. While part of an epic series, this read can be read as a stand-alone but I promise you, you will not want to miss the previous two! Oren & Teivel’s story just tops it all off with their incredible connection and undeniable chemistry! These books immerse you into an incredibly vivid story that you never want to leave. I highly recommend this author and this read, you do not want to miss this!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel has it all: murder, mystery, hidden agendas, plots, politics, rivalry, a lot at stake, dramatic developments, danger, tension, and even a little romance. The interesting part about the story was the serial killer’s point of view. What he may plan next was what kept me going on. This novel had me putting it down a lot because it was getting to be a bit much. The characters are great but when things pop up in the middle that doesn’t have any relevance to the story it gets a bit confusing for me. Overall it is a great read as long as your not a blonde.

Coyote Summer by Laura Koerber – Review by Angela Shirley

Coyote SummerCoyote Summer by Laura Koerber
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When an event in your life imbeds itself in your head, will there ever be a time you can forgive yourself.

Ben is a preppy kid who is a bit shy and vulnerable but he wants to fit with the popular kids and strives to be accepted. Although he is friends with Clint, Ben’s parents are trying to keep up with Joneses and loves that their son is friends with the congressman’s son, but this friendship will be put to the test one night.

As they attend a party, everyone is getting drunk and stoned but as the night goes on Ben sees Claire, a girl who he has a drunk conversation with and when she excuses herself after a while he decides to go to the bathroom where he stumbles upon a scene which makes him sick. He sees Claire totally out of it and Clint assaulting without her knowledge or consent. As Ben wrestles with the scene in front of him he tries to step in and stop the heinous crime that has happened. After that night Ben can not get the scene out of his head and always wonder if he could have done more to help.

Roll forward and Ben and Clint are still friends but the past has come to haunt both of them, can Ben stand up for himself or will the past eat him up forever?

I have to start off that this is not normally a genre I read and was wondering if I would be able to read the book due to the contents, but I am glad in a way that I persisted and got through it. I have two say that I feel this book is of two halves, the first half through the trials of the assault and the heartbreak around that, with the soul searching from Ben knowing that he needs to disconnect from Clint with his toxic nature. The second half of the book was a bit out there and although the feeling of the book did not change, I felt this was a strange turn of events within the story.

Aside from this I really enjoyed the book and although some people may be put off by the content of rape it was written with care and my heart went out for Claire. Although I had a hard time relating to Ben and his turmoil, I did understand the elements which got him to that point and that the soul searching in the end helped him become who he wanted to be. Although this is not normal for me I did enjoy the story and would read other books by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Vengeance was a great read; it is the fifth book in the Sundown series but could be read as a standalone. I have read others from the series and also recommend them. The author has a great writing style that really draws you into the story and although it is a YA read I really enjoyed it. The storyline was good and engaging and I really liked the characters. Max was a nice character to read about and her story definitely kept me interested the whole way through. The author’s attention to detail was another huge positive for this book.
I would definitely recommend this story and think YA readers would really enjoy it.

Another wonderful time traveling story in this series by Shannon Nemechek! This story carried on straight from book 2 so they definitely need to be read in order and as I anticipated they story was just as well written with a great pace. The author’s vivid imagination really shines through and allows to me to imagine what is going on with the characters. I was immersed in the story from beginning to end. I really liked the characters; they are well developed and imaginative. I think out of the three stories this is probably my favourite so far.
This series is a must for any historical/time traveling fan! You won’t be disappointed!

This is the 3rd book in the Adam Brothers series and I think it might have been my favourite (although I did really enjoy the first two). Seb was such a surprise for me, having met him in the previous books I wasn’t 100% sure about him but my mind has definitely been changed! I loved Maelie, she was a great character and her and Seb together was amazing to read about! I loved every second of their story. They both have their own issues to overcome but together they were wonderful!
The story was brilliant, well-paced with a great flow. The characters were great to read about and as I said before this is definitely my favourite from this series! I definitely recommend this book and the whole series!

Where Flowers Bloom: A Romantic, Modern to Historical, Mystery by Nikki Vale is a gut-wrenching thought-provoking story. It is a story of a young woman who see a past and present that coexists as the story reveals ghosts and slaves, love and relationships, and lives living on a plantation. With historical elements and the paranormal I really enjoyed this beautiful and emotive tale but the ending not so much. It is an ending that you will either love or hate.

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III is a dark psychological supernatural thriller which is an International Book Awards Winner. Paul very cleverly weaves a gripping and engaging tale as we follow along with archetype realities of good vs evil and lots of mysticism. There are many differences with the characters from those with little or without much depth, those that are complex and have a much deeper depth to them and those that is twisted beyond the realm of horrors and hell.

Carnival of Shadows (Black Water Magic #2)Carnival of Shadows by Leslie Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love love books that have an undertone of Carnival to them so when this cover caught my eye and I saw the theme it was a no brainer I knew I had to give it a read. I am so glad that I did. It was one crazy ride and I loved every single second that I spent reading it! I was completely swept up into this world created by Leslie Scott where Teagan is our main character and there are so many more side characters that just pack as much of a punch, given the theme that is also a no brainer. I loved how this managed to keep me thinking about it when I wasn’t reading and had me itching to pick it back up the next day to see how things would turn out. I can’t wait to see what else is available in this series and will come next as well as what may be available by Leslie Scott as well!

Beckoned is the first book in the Born of Darkness series by R.B. Fields. This book also appears to be the author’s debut novel. I love anything vampire- so it was a given that I would be reading this book the moment it showed up on my recommended book list.
It has a refreshingly original take on the whole vampire lore- making for a captivating read. With drama, humour, and plenty of sizzle- this introduction to the author’s work ensures that I will definitely be coming back for more.

Thank you, R.B. Fields!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Valkyrie continues to impress me greatly with the care she takes in crafting each book and creating a world that you dive headlong into and feel part of. Because of the character development that carries over, even though these books stand well on their own, I cannot stress how much more enjoyable the reader will find the experience if taking it in series order. Quite frankly, with Valkyrie’s gifted pen, I’m not sure anyone wouldn’t rush to pick up the rest if they started out of order. Regardless, the character development and world building in this book were fantastic. If you fancy not-your-average paranormal romp, this book is most definitely for you. I know these characters are dear to the author for the care she took in each page. And that care made me care. Masterfully done! I cannot wait to read the next book!
