This is a new author for me which I enjoyed reading. I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a well written story that is full of action and kept me turning pages to the end. The characters are relatable and bring the story to life on each page. This is a story about a series of situations that puts things on a course of destruction. The queen is assassinated and her two daughters have had a couple of failed attempts at killing them. Living in a matriarchal society, the youngest daughter realizes that some of the soldiers are her brothers. What happens next you will want to find out. This is a little different story but it was easy to read and I found it to be entertaining. Overall I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.
Of Fire & Bone is the third book in the Of Magic & Scales series. Somehow, I ended up with the third book without reading the second one. I read the first one and going from that one to this one I can say that it’s not difficult to pick up what’s going on, BUT you miss out on the actual events that sparked what’s happening in book three. So, I’d definitely say you need book two for the best reading experience.
This is a quick, fun-filled read. I love the banter between the characters and how easy it is to connect with them. I liked how the book had a warm vibe without tipping over into cheesy. The only thing I wish had been different was that the final battle seemed a bit glossed over. That could be because I missed book two and maybe that’s where most of the action happened with that character.
Overall, a pleasant read. Even though this is the conclusion to the main books, I’m looking forward to the holiday book, which is unusual for me because I don’t normally prefer holiday themed books. These characters draw you in, though. Plus, I have to find out what Vee does for the event. There’s bound to be something, what with all her wild ideas…

I enjoyed this young adult paranormal story. This is one of my first books by this author which I enjoyed how she brought the characters to life with her attention to details. They are connectable and make the story engaging. This is a well written story that pulled me in from the beginning and made it fun to read. Lucy has found herself in a new town living with family after the death of her mother. She just wants to fit in but finds that her destiny has something else in mind. She is a gifted young teen that finds herself in the middle of good and evil. What happens with Lucy you will need to find out. She kept me turning pages because I wanted to know what would happen to her next. Will the darkness destroy things before she comes to terms with her destiny? She is such a great character, I just loved her. She made the story for me. I highly recommend this book.

Remember His Name is the second book in the Remember My Name series. I had a rocky experience with book one, but I decided to give the second one a chance anyway. I’m here to say that book two did a MUCH better job with suspense and overall story telling.
While I still felt like there were a lot of major time skips, this story held my interest more than the first book. It also answered the question of whether the first book ties into this one at all. It does. I can’t really say how or it’ll ruin the story, but I will say there is one part of the tie in that connects to the cliffhanger in book one. That piece felt much too brief after the buildup from book one. Maybe there will be more regarding that in an upcoming book? The main story line in book two is rounded out and feels like part of it has a conclusion, which is what I think was missing in book one. Even with somewhat of a cliffhanger in book two, there was still a sense of closure, which made for a much more satisfying read.
This book is a bit different in that you could read it by itself for the main story line, but if you don’t read book one, you’ll miss the impact of how things shape up toward the end. It will make sense, but you won’t fully understand why it’s important. So, even though book one was not my favorite, I’m glad I read it to get the full reading experience for book two.

I enjoyed this short romance story. It is a naughty neighbor romance that pulled me in from the beginning. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her. This is a well written story that packs a lot of heat in a short time. Turner is a neighbor that anyone would love to have next door. In this neighborhood all the women swoon over him but he says I am the one for him. But is this woman good enough? Will he convince her that she is the one for him? I enjoyed their chemistry and watching their relationship grow throughout the story. It was an entertaining story to read and I highly recommend it.

Remember My Name is the first book in the Remember My Name series. This was not the reading experience I expected. This book is marketed as suspense, but I didn’t feel like it was suspenseful at all. I feel like it’s more of a dark, angsty romance because the main character has a haunted past. I had what I’m guessing was supposed to be the suspenseful part figured out within the first few chapters.
Now, I LOVE a dark, angsty m/m romance, so I tried to get into this book despite the mis-marketing, but I couldn’t get emotionally involved with the characters until over half-way through. There wasn’t a good emotional build up at the beginning.
Another thing that was a bit distracting was the choppy way the scene breaks came up. It didn’t flow well, so there were times I had to take a minute to figure out where they were or what was going on. And the overall story was a bit slow in places.
Also, the book ends abruptly after only 13 chapters. It is unclear whether or not the author meant for it to be a cliffhanger. There isn’t really any closure to the story. I read the description of book two in order to try to see if there was a hint that it was continuing, but based on what I read, it looks like book two has a completely different set of characters. Basically, it left me confused as to the authors choice of ending the story where it ended. I’m wondering if maybe there was supposed to be more and it just didn’t get uploaded?
Something I did like about the story is that the main character had people around him who were truly trying to support him no matter how much he pushed them away.
This story had a lot of potential and I really wanted to like it more than I did. Maybe book two will be more satisfying. I’ll give it a try, just in case.

Grumbler’s Ride is the second book in the Satan’s Devils MC series by Manda Mellett. Grumbler is a rough and tough biker who feels as though he has no time in his life for anything other than his bike, his work, and his MC life. He has never been married and never had kids, nor has he had any desire to have either. His family is the Satan’s Devils and that is how he intends to keep it. His girlfriend, as his biker buddies refer to it, is his beloved motorcycle. Besides, even if he wanted an old lady in his life, he is too darn old at this point as he is nearing sixty.
Mary, a single mom, has been raising Alicia alone since Alicia was about 10 years old. Now at 17, Alicia and her mom butt heads constantly because, as teenagers often do, she knows everything. Mary has no desire to date or bring a man into her life because raising her head strong daughter not only keeps her busy but tends to be a turn off to men. Mary and Alicia bicker constantly as Mary tries to teach her daughter the dangers of the world. Alicia, feeling that her mom is being too overbearing and too protective, chooses to often ignore her mom’s advice. When Alicia is approached by a photographer who asks her to do some modelling for him Mary is nervous and reluctant to let Alicia do the photo shoot. However, against her better judgement, Mary allows her daughter to do the photo shoot, but only on the condition that she goes along to supervise.
As luck would have it, Grumbler has been approached by the same photographer and has been asked if his beloved bike can be used in a photo shoot. At the photo shoot Grumbler briefly meets Mary and gets a glimpse into the dynamics of the mother-daughter relationship between Mary and her daughter Alicia. This chance encounter between Mary and Grumbler during the photo shoot changes all their lives forever in a way that non of them could have ever predicted.
This book was a great read and I fell in love with the characters of both Grumbler and Mary. I absolutely loved the fact that the main characters were both older and more mature. I also found it quite refreshing that Grumbler and Mary first became friends before deciding if it could be taken any farther. Grumbler is a man who oozes sex appeal and goes to show that even mature, older men that are considered rough around the edges can be sexy. Mary is someone who shows that older, more mature women, can also be attractive and desirable. This was a great read, but I must warn that there is some sensitive material in the book.

I very much enjoyed this book and needless to say this is a start to an amazing series, and was very well done and I’m quite eager for me! I loved the authors techniques in writing this amazing novel, from the characters and how they grew and changed, from how words played to describe not only the events and the scenery, but as well as the minds of the characters very thoroughly, this was a rare gem and left me very impressed and happy to pick up this novel and look forward to where the characters are at, to what hey will face next, with it be good intentions or perhaps something more of a more darkening sense?
The main character which to me is so relatable in more ways than one is named Makayla…she is to study at what is called The Grave Digger Academy. Trust me, she was deeply against being there in the first place more less, although perhaps she would learn soon enough that the the old saying the universe has a plan always, maybe there was more truth in the sentence than she was willing to believe?
Makayla is very headstrong, and doesn’t want her life mapped on a star collision for her life. She wants to choose her own destiny and make her own decisions that will make forth a path that only she can follow as it will be the one she has chosen and willingly made. People she meets quickly choose a side to love or hate her. As much as people she could trust join one more side, the ones perhaps with less good intentions quickly make a side. But will this dividing up impact her more than she believes or again is this something the universe is planning as if all the students of the academy are more less like pawn sin a chess game? waiting till one is knocked out to reach the one piece that is desired most?
The novel ends at a good standing point as well. It was a fast and brisk read for me. It didn’t drag or make you feel bored, but more less the complete opposite.
I loved this book for so many reasons, and I truly am eager to see what Makayla will go through next. Again she makes her own path, but is there truly any way to escape destiny? Sometime we can evade but some things no matter how hard you try, you cant run from some things that tru1y have a way of finding you.
I cant wait to see how she progresses and more of her path and what is already chosen and set for her. As well as how she is to be “shaped” for the continuation of the series. I always loved reading, understanding, as well as witnessing the growth of a character. And I already know with Makayla there is to be anything but slow motions. She truly is set up already to a force that if reckoned with, well you may have doubts for doing that in the first place.
This was my first novel/series I have read by C.A. King …my only regret is I have not gotten to enjoy more books by them until I discovered this one! This was a fun and brisk read, and I will be eagerly awaiting for the continuation of the series
Well done C.A King, you have truly left me wanting more, and needless to say, very impressed! Do pick up this wonderful book my fellow readers, and join me in attending the “orientation” for The Grave Digger Academy…surely we do not want to be late do we?

King – Review by Lorrene Huisman
A time-traveling witch? Cassie is stuck in a tree from 1974-2019. Nick is a witch who is hiding his powers. The two are brought together to rescue others from a diabolical plan. There are misadventures and new adventures for Cassie as she meets new family. So much has changed. The chemistry off Cassie and Nick could start a fire of its own. The town sounds wonderful. It reminds of one of the small towns in our area. Everyone knows everyone else’s business. It’s funny, light, and a great read for book 1 in the series. I can’t wait to read more.

Young – Review by Shelly Kittell
I have now been following Hani, an Egyptian Diplomat from book one and I always look forward to a new story and I am never disappointed. Each book can be read as a standalone story, however I feel that the reader will enjoy the novels more if they are read in order. This story is set in ancient Egypt, around the seventeenth and final year of Akh-en-aten’s reign, which is about 1338 BCE. Hani makes a great main character as he is well defined and is both relatable and likeable and he really helps brings the plot together. Due to the authors wonderfully descriptive narrative I always feel engaged with Hani and immersed in his world, so much so that I feel I am solving the mystery alongside him.
This time Hani is investigating thefts from the household of the king which on closer inspection appear to be related to a sinister attempt on the kings life. Alongside the main mystery Hani is worried for his daughter who was present at the crown prince’s birth as those present begin to die as secrets emerge about the princes identity. Hani is caught between the government and the radical revolutionaries who would like to restore Amen-Ra by civil war. This unfortunately involves the Queen, who Hani has sworn to serve. As usual this is a complex historical crime mystery story with an action packed plot which had me hooked from start to finish. The twists and turns kept me guessing and I enjoyed figuring out the mystery elements of the storyline alongside Lord Hani.
There are a lot of characters mentioned which can be confusing but the list of characters at the beginning of the book is very helpful and I found it interesting to know which characters were based on a real person and those who are fictional. The authors knowledge and research shines through in her writing and I found the historical notes particularly fascinating along with the glossary of terms. I continue to enjoy ‘The Lord Hani Mysteries’ series and I look forward to book number six, hopefully!

Holmes – Review by Jennifer Gordon
I loved this book! It was right up my alley for paranormal romance. Cassie Gearhart, fresh out of highschool escapes a family who has made her suppress her magical nature. In an attempt to hide from her older brother she makes a blind deal with the Goddess. Fast forward 45 years, Cassie stumbles back to the farmhouse she has come to know so well. Only to find that the inhabitant is no longer the woman she knows but her grandson, Nick Felson.
After tragedy struck the small town of Willow Creek, Virginia, Nick had sworn off using magic and had plans of leaving forever. Until Cassie showed up. Both Cassie and Nick can feel the way their magic calls to the other, it’s like they are meant to be, or at least meant to use their magic together for a larger purpose.
I would recommend this book if you are looking for a nice easy read with a great story line.

I’ve been looking for my next serial obsession, and I think I just found it! Nite Fire: Flash Point took me on a roller coaster ride through a new world and mystery. Dahlia Nite, hiding from her own race, now lives in the human world as a protector of sorts. A new murder has her attention, providing pieces to a puzzle Dahlia never saw coming, and brings up even more questions that she had never ventured to ask. As the world of this new series begins to take shape and readers are drawn deeper into the life of Dahlia Nite, you’ll be led deep into the mystery surrounding and threatening the existence of more than just one race. Nite Fire: Flash Point will take you down the rabbit hole and out the other side to what I’m hoping will be a just as exciting and riveting ride into the next book.

Lake of Flowers is the fifth in the Lord Hani series. It is the first novel I have read by this author and can be read as a standalone. NL Holmes has done an excellent job of setting the story in ancient Egypt, I could feel the heat and environment that the characters were experiencing. I struggled a little with the general conversation used by characters and felt that it perhaps didn’t fit the time. Otherwise, the novel is very well written and researched. I also intend to read more of this series as it now has me intrigued!

Without giving any spoilers I just wanted to yell at Shane to trust his friends!!!!!!! It hurt my heart reading all that Shane has gone through. You find Shane is between a rock and a hard place. This book has a cliff hanger at the end which I did not like at all!!!!! What happens next????

Though a short book of short stories, it will make a large impact on your heart. Every story makes an impact and leaves a message. You will have to figure out that message. I did find a tear rolling down my cheek at times because it was very heart warming and sad at times also. Quick read and highly recommend.

Tangled Roots (Witches of Willow Creek: Tangled Magic Series Book 1) By Denise D. Young 4 Stars
This book is full of witches and magic. Cassie is need of help. She doesn’t want to be found so she casts a spell asking the Guardian for help. Magic has a price and the Guardian helps in the most unexpected way. They say everything happens for a reason. Fate brings Cassie and Nick together. The chemistry is instant and their love sparks an intense passion. There is an evil lurking in Willow Creek and it’s set on destroying everything and everyone. Can they survive it?
This is a good introduction to the series. The author presents the characters for you to realize that you will fall in love with them. Cassie is a wonderful, caring person with a strength of character that Nick needs. She will help him grow and gain confidence. Most of the action happens at the end of the book and the author throws in a few surprises. The book doesn’t fully end on a cliffhanger but it leaves you wanting more.

Sex on Fire: A Quickie Read is book one in the Naughty Neighbour series by Ashley Bostock. This story was short, stylish and intoxicating. A friends to lovers quick read that was attention grabbing and totally satisfying. The characters were entertaining, the chemistry sizzling, and the innocence of the leading lady was endearing and and equally frustrating. Their adventure had highs and lows and in betweens. A quick romance that was to the point and easy to read. 4 stars.

The story was a cute, very quick read. While there’s sex it’s not super explicit in its detail, which I liked in this case. I do wish the story was a little bit longer in order to flesh out some of the storyline, as I felt there was an abruptly ended chapter and there were some quick scene change.
I enjoyed the banter and push and pull between Poppy and Turner. I really liked that we get to read about a FMC who is nerdy, quirky, and a bit shy around strangers; you don’t get that often in an adult FMC.
Summary: Sex on fire is about two neighbors, Poppy and Turner, who desire the other but are hesitant to act on it, until one of them isn’t.
After finally succumbing to the mutual desire between them Turner knows that “neighbors with benefits” simply won’t be enough. Can he win the awkward, nerdy girl who’s running around in his head, or will her social awkwardness burn them before they really begin?

A fun college age romance. This book, and Brandon Setter (the Male Main Character), is quirky, fun loving, and sexy. A slight slow burn romance, with Casey (the Female MC) either disliking or being indifferent toward Setter until about 30%, but once the sparks fly, oh do they.
Both Setter and Casey are still growing into who they are. Setter has his future planned out for him, so in the meantime he’s trying to enjoy life to the fullest. Casey is still dealing with the loss of her best friend from high school, pulling away from everyone but her dad, and focusing on her schoolwork, until Setter literally stops in on her in the library and thereafter brings her back to life. But it’s not all fun and games, with both outside forces and Casey and Setter themselves threatening to pull them apart.
I enjoyed the additional background mystery storyline and the drama along the way to finding out “whodunnit.” I liked that Setter and Casey’s relationship, or lack thereof, wasn’t completely the sole focus of the novel. I also enjoyed reading how both Casey and Setter grew into more of an adult with the help of the other. The romance between them is sweet and pure.
This book is just one in a series written by many authors, but I’m interested in searching out the rest to read about what previously happened to side characters and what happens in those to come.

Witches and Vampires have been at it forever and I thought that I have read all there is to this trope but then Tricia Copeland comes out of nowhere and surprises me with this gem of a series. Kingdom of war is the 4th book in the series and I do recommend that you start this series from the beginning. This is Hunter’s story and Tricia took us on an epic adventure with Hunter as he lives up to his vow of protecting the witch lines. The character development is great and the storyline is well thought out. There was one or two places where I got a bit confused but it didn’t take away from the story. The narrator also did a great job (not the voice I would fit with Hunter but still he did an amazing job)

This is a captivating fantasy with angels, shifters, demons, pixie, imp, other supernatural beings, humour, banter, family, drama, mystery, danger, f/f romance, chemistry, an enemies-to-lovers element, magic, tension, suspense, secrets, action, sacrifice, and lots more. This is Hadassah (Haddie) and Jezebel’s story- Haddie is an angel on suspended duty for miss using her powers and has been sent to Earth on probation. She isn’t happy about it- all she wants to do is serve her time and get back to heaven. But things take a bit of a complicated turn when Haddie feels obliged to help one of her brother’s friends. Jezebel is a bit of a recluse, a shifter who has been trying to hide from her past. She knows that eventually it will catch up with her and she will have no choice but to run again. She just didn’t expect it to be now, or to have to go on the run with a prickly angel by her side. Jezebel has been quite the mysterious character throughout the series, We knew she was a shifter, but little else. This book really allows us to get to know her, and my heart broke finding out everything she had been through. She and Haddie had a bit of rocky start- but the chemistry was there all along. They really were perfect for each other. After meeting Haddie previously, I wasn’t sure I would like her as she had been quite abrasive. But following along on the story and finding out more about her, I understand why she is prickly and discovered there is more to her than first meets the eye- and I ended up loving her. As expected, Ms. Valkyrie created superb tension and suspense throughout her story, balanced beautifully with some tender, emotive, and heartwarming moments. I love that even though each book concentrates on one particular ‘couple’- there is also a much bigger picture being painted and a secondary, subplot/bridging storyline woven through the series that amps up the danger and tension- and has me itching for more. Having said that I really recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one- as knowing what happens previously will definitely enhance your reading experience of this book. I know I keep saying this, but I really do adore this series so very much!!! It’s wonderfully original, with intriguing storylines featuring quirky and endearing characters who have firmly embedded themselves into my heart, and I can’t get enough. Happy Reading!

Least Likely Suspect: Revenge by Cooper McKenzie is quite a gripping story that made me think about how far I would go to get justice for my child. Well, our MC Samantha is put in exactly that position when her son is so badly beaten that he succumbs to his injuries. Samantha is certain she knows who is responsible for his death- but proving it is where the problem lies. When one of her son’s childhood friends offers to help- things take a really interesting turn. Looking forward to more from Cooper McKenzie! Happy Reading!

Caim is the fourth book in the Antipodes series by T.S Simons. As with the rest of the books in the series, it is a fantastic post-apocalyptic, dystopian story with some sci-fi elements, action, adventure, romance, drama, discovery, friendships, bonds, loyalty, trauma, anxiety, trials, surprising developments, twists, tension, mystery, emotion, and much more. Quite a lot has happened since we started back in book one and our characters have been through quite a lot. The safety and happiness they found will be disrupted as shocking news means leaving to search for answers. Love and friendships are on the line- loyalties are tested, and shocking discoveries are made. The series gets better and better, with each new instalment, and for me, this is the most emotionally charged story of the series, so far. I still think this series would make great television viewing. I can really see it coming to life on the small screen. OMG- can’t wait to dive into ‘Sessrumnir’ (Book #5)!!!

I just love all the books in this series. In this 4th installment, we pick up 7 or 8 years on from Ouroboros, and we see things through Freyja’s eyes. When some nighttime visitors arrive with unexpected news, Freyja is compelled to get back on the open sea to find the answers to her questions. Lots of action ensues, and this book had me hooked from the beginning. I love the relationship between Cam and Freyja, their individual characters are great and fleshed out so well. This is a great dystopian fantasy, and I am sincerely hoping this won’t be the last for these characters, or this authour!

Caim is the 4th book in the Antipodes series by T.S. Simons. I read the last three books of this four book series, and it just got better and better. I had a hard time putting this book down. While the other books tell the story from multiple perspectives but mostly from Cam’s, this story is mostly told from the point of Freyja. We are several years past book three, and Freyja and Cam have had two more kids. This book is full of their struggle with Clava as well as with Angus. I was surprised at the turn their story took but loved reading it. I highly recommend reading this series and from the beginning!

Witty and sweet This was so much fun! I loved the banter between Chelsea and Tom. There were many laugh-out-loud moments as the author captured each moment so realistically. The storyline, romance and steam were nicely balanced and who doesn’t need a friend like Nadia – she’s brilliant. If you like friends to lovers don’t miss this one. I will be checking out more from this author.

5 Stars Lake of Flowers (The Lord Hani Mysteries, book 5) by N.L. Holmes
Lake of Flowers in the fifth book in The Lord Hani Mysteries by N.L Holmes. To say I was super excited about this book is a understatement. I’m a huge historical fan and this one is set in ancient Egypt and is packed with historical details which I find very intriguing. I highly recommend reading this series in order if you haven’t already started. It’s a great series and we get to follow Hani on all his adventures. This one is no different than the others as you’ll be pulled in from the beginning and wont want to stop till you’ve finished. Get ready to follow along with Lord Hani as he takes us on yet another adventure to solve a mystery , there are thefts happening at the Kings house. Find out what happens next as Hani finds himself caught up in the middle of secrets. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Holmes – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
This is the 2nd book in this series, and very enjoyable and I love YA genre books. I had to keep in mind that this is high school teens and their stories. This book is about High School crushes, loves, drama and betrayal all wrapped up in one. Hadley finally is happy in a new school and has a boyfriend, Nick. Hadley is not totally secure on her looks or friendships and Nick is very sweet guy….but they have such a great relationship and also friendship building in this story. There is heartbreaking betrayal with Nick and one of Hadley’s friends, Simone. Will Hadley and Nick’s relationship survive on an ultimate betrayal?

Manda Mellett does it again. I was pulled in by Niran and Saffie’s story and I couldn’t get enough.This story is a part one and does end in a big cliffhanger so be prepared for that! I really liked this story and I am looking forward to reading more by this author and the next part of this story! I would recommend this to a friend! Happy Reading!
