If you enjoy an imagery feast filled with amazing characters and nonstop movement, you will never go wrong with King’s work.

Loved every page.

Wow. The first chapter was enough to hook me. What a fascinating tale that unfolded. I loved seeing the different dynamic between family and coven and how magic can be manipulated for both good and evil. I really enjoy the author’s writing style and how she developed the characters. It was a mesmerizing story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Un-put-down-able
First book from this author for me and I think I have stumbled upon a brilliant series. Loved the writing, the characters, the setting and the story line. The story didn’t get caught up on too much angst and just moved along at a nice pace. The maturity of the characters wasn’t compromised to create unnecessary drama – it was fairly straightforward and real. Once I started I was sucked right in and didn’t want to leave. Romance, country music and southern hospitality. Really loved Clay and Katie and hope that we get insights into their life in future books.

Remember My Name (Remember My Name #1)Remember My Name by Laurencia Hoffman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From the very first page, Remember My Name by Laurencia Hoffman leaves you desperate to know what is going to happen next. One of the most suspenseful novels that I have read in a long time, the story of Shane Coulter leaves the reader eager to read more with the end of every chapter, especially the last one.

Shane Coulter is a master at keeping secrets from everyone he cares about, repeating over and over throughout the book that it is to protect them. Upon finding out the truth of his past in the end of the book, the writer ends it on a major cliffhanger. Needless to say, I will be starting the next novel within the hour!

This may be uncomfortable to read if you have ever experienced domestic or parental violence, as well as anyone who may identify as LGBTQ. Overall a very well written novel that I suggest to anyone who loves a good suspense novel.

I am really enjoying this series and this story pulled me right in.
Casey spends most of her time in the library and Brandon is of course the football star. These two are very different in so many ways. Brandon ends up meeting Casey when he is looking for an alibi, he happened to come into the library where she was studying. And of course fate steps in again and these two find themselves working together as lab partners.

There are some additional twists and turns that add so much more to the story. These two have a connection that pulls them together. Will they get a HEA? If you’re looking for a great series this is the one for you. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. All of the characters added a great element to the story. 1-click and get started today.

Amazing paranormal YA story.
Really enjoyed this story, it was very easy to read and had great pacing. The characters were well developed and Lucy was presented as a very typical 16 year old with all her attitude and ‘worries’. The unique aspect of the paranormal was refreshing and the underlying story for Lucy made me so much more vested in her character. I feel there is still so much more to explore in book 2 and I look forward to it.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I was pleasantly surprised.
It was a very interesting storyline and the pacing kept me reading. The author’s writing style is engaging with a lot of show not tell. The character development with Shane was brilliantly executed, I really felt the emotional rollercoaster. Even though this is a series, this was a complete novel. Will be definitely reading the next book.

Cleverly written sci-fi adventure
This was an exceptional piece of writing. So many layers that one could easily become lost in the intricate web of the multi-verse. The author was very good at providing moments of grounding within each chapter that really helped the reader to connect and gather their understanding. There is a lot within these pages but it all needs to be appreciated as a whole package – so reading on is a must as it all ties in together. As I finished the book it I felt like I had been on an epic journey – just as the title says. Highly recommend.

Tangled Roots (Witches of Willow Creek: Tangled Magic Book 1) by Denise D. Young. If you’re looking for a book that’s got just about everything in it you could possibly want go get this one right now. I typically need to be very in a paranormal type stories. But this one had no problem grabbing my attention and keeping me firmly hooked from start to finish. Each character brings something unique to the storyline and they pulled me into their world with ease and I loved getting lost in the pages with them. This was a bit of a faster feeling paced storyline but it wasn’t rushed and lacking in that regard. It’s easy to read and has a great storyline. The author does a wonderful job of making a story world you love being in. I’m giving this a four star review and highly recommend it. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett. This author ALWAYS takes me on a ride I never want to end. This book definitely isn’t for the faint of heart but it’s so worth every heart stopping moments it’s got. I’m a sucker for characters that have had life test them in ways no one should be able to survive and yet survive and thrive they do. These characters grabbed me by the heart and I won’t be forgetting them any time soon. This is a part one so keep that in mind if you don’t like waiting but oh is that wait going to be oh so good in the end. The characters are complex and relatable, they pulled me in with an ease that can sometimes be rough to accomplish but this author did it effortlessly. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I can’t wait for part two and even more from this amazing author. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster : Frat House Confessions by Danielle Jacks

This book is part of a series by several different authors and I have only just discovered and so glad I found this book.

Casey is a wallflower who is happiest while in the library but she hasn’t always been this way and her reason for changing is so sad,

Setter is one of the start football players whose greatest joy outside of football is playing pranks.

These total opposites fit so well together in so many ways and seem to bring out the best in one another, but have some obstacles to get past.

I enjoyed this booked, was able to turn my brain off for a bit and live in their world which isn’t always easy for me to do.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In book 3 you see Astrid and Irsa again. Only this time a little different. After book 2 Irsa has changed a little. She’s not the same witch as from before. There’s something different about her.

You see a different side of Astrid this time. You still see him as Isras constant companion, and lover , but you see something completely different. Almost possessive.
I was glad to see more from his perspective and more about his history! They both prevail over their monsters and it’s not over yet! I can’t wait to read more about Isra!!!

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened, #1)Her Blackened Soul by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. The perspective wasn’t quite exactly first person and not fully third person, but the narrative was done beautifully. I was quite sad the entire book for Irsa. It mentions a big event that happened to her, that made her go dark, it never mentions it fully just referring to it as the “it” event. The entire time I could see how this changed her and how much she really didn’t care. Then comes Kane and Astrid. I wanted to kill Kane myself for what he did. He’s your a typical “I’m gods gift to the world” arrogant cocky SOB. I wanted to strangle him and his “poor me it’s my fault” pity party.
I absolutely loved when Astrid was introduced. He is Irsa’s perfect match in every way. He doesn’t care that she’s what she is. He supports her no matter what she does. I really hope to see more of their relationship blossom and see more of these two. I’m hoping we get more background of Irsa. What is “the event?” She keeps referring to. Can’t wait to read the next book!!

Isra has done it again. She wrote a beautiful second book and gave us more perspectives of Miss Isra the witch. The ending of book 2 absolutely broke my heart for Astrid. I hope this isn’t the end for these two.

Isra this book grew. She surprised me with how much she got better but still kept true to her dark roots. I got some whiplash from her good choices and bad choices and even sometimes her thought process. I think that’s what made her more relatable. I’m constantly going back and forth between good and bad things.

You definitely see a darker side to Astrid this book. But it raises more questions. What about his past does he not want known?
I can’t wait to read book 3!

I love this time period of old London. This book was full of twists and turns from a despicable brother, a malicious cousin, a spoiled sister, and many other suspects.
Isabel is given an ultimatum, the gaol or marriage to the Viscount. The book follows Isabel’s’ and Matthew’s journey.
Matthew had already requested the hand in marriage of two other young ladies who had met with unfortunate accidents. Time was running out as Matthew had to have a bride within the month. Were these accidents intentional or purely coincidental? I was still guessing until the last chapter of this book. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Ok, I am now thoroughly convinced that Manda Mellett is an AMAZING author! Avenging Devil Part 1 is the third book in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego Series. What a book this was! It was complex and dark and downright so freaking good! There are so many twists and turns and emotional ups and downs, that you really don’t know what to do with yourself at times. Saffie hasn’t had the easiest life but when she marries into the MC world she never expected the life that she has. She knows she needs to get out and fast but she doesn’t even know how to attempt to leave. That’s when Niran comes in and knows that he needs to help her. Reading this book makes my heart break for Saffies character and Niran shows up when Saffie needs him the most. I loved this book and the author that wrote it. It already states that this book is Part 1 so therefore you know that this is a cliffhanger and the second book is around the corner. But what you don’t know is how much of an impact the cliffhanger really is! However, you do need to read the book to find out! You can read this book as a standalone but you know me, I always say to start at the beginning. You won’t be disappointed!

Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

/0 Comments/in /by

Chelsea is a childcare worker who seems to have bad taste in men. Her brothers friend, who also happens to be her roommate, Tom, is tired if hearing about how bad these guys are. When Chelsea’s friend Nadia says that she should give a nice guy a chance, Tom in particular, he runs with it. What could go wrong showing the girl of his dreams how good she should be treated? Of course Chelsea has never seen Tom as anything more than her brothers friend, but could her feelings be changing? What happens when line get blurred and you go from being friends to something more?

These characters were enjoyable  and very relatable in some instances. I have read other books by this author and have enjoyed them on different levels. I had fun reading this book and I look forward to the next one in the series.

Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams is a short easy comfort read with great characters, a refreshing twist on fake dating turns to real dating, and fantastic word building. This romance story kept this reader on the edge of her seat with drama, angst, romance, and more. I found myself flipping through the pages faster then a bolt of lightning to find out what happens next and I was not disappointed. The way that Ms. Williams developed her main family character was relatable, it was refreshing to have a female lead that wasn’t a skinny super model but has a normal body style that makes her more relatable to some women like myself. While I loved the book over all the one thing I would have liked to see was a little more character development, but over all I can’t wait to see where Ms. Williams takes this series.

C.A. King is an amazing author. She has written different books across different genres. I have never gone wrong when I buy a C.A. King book. This book was no different. It is a fun, fast-paced, paranormal story. The attention to detail is what makes this book a must-read. The characters are complex and fully developed. Makayla is the main character who wants to go to a paranormal academy but the small problem is that did not get into her first choices. She was accepted into Grave Digger Academy. There is a difference between “gravediggers” and Grave Diggers. One puts the body into the ground and the other keeps the body on the ground. Makayla and her classmates have a lot to learn about the dead and how temperamental they can be. Join along as we follow Makayla in this story to see what she learns at Grave Digger Academy.

I’m not sure what I was expecting from this book but it wasn’t what I got, it FAR surpassed my expectations.
While holding true to the suspense genre, this story really toyed with my emotions and felt deeper than I expected. It kept my attention throughout and the characters were realistic and in many ways, relatable. I think I enjoyed Micah’s character the most and genuinely appreciated the caring, familial feel to how the characters were written, despite being “secret, real life superheroes”. I would love to read more by this author in the future.

Sirena Van Schaik is an author I hadn’t heard about before but knew I had to read when I stumbled across the Murders of Lillian Ross. I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into but as I so often find when I explore new (to me) authors,, I wasn’t disappointed. I have been incredibly lucky lately to read a few thrillers that are so good they stick with you long after the story is over. This book was one of them. I loved everything about it, honestly, but mostly how it was formatted. I loved the way the 911 call and court transcripts were intertwined in the writing. I felt like the Murders of Lillian Ross played out like a movie in my head from start to finish.
Definitely a 5 star read for me and I would love to read more from this author.

Kingdom of War: Kingdom Journals, Book 4 by Tricia Copeland
4 out of 5 stars
Tricia Copeland is one of my favorite authors. I have read many books of hers and thus I was delighted to pick up this little gem. This is the fourth installment in the Kingdom Journals series and a fabulous addition to the set. We meet up with Hunter who is the leader of a long-awaited trinity. Those who are going to restore the order. As his story progresses, I am reminded of Hercules and the requirement of the 12 labors, I find that these are similar to Hunter and the trials that he must complete. Hunter is a complex and often frustrating character as he is constantly at battle with himself and his growing power. He is struggling to control what he thinks is not his and not turn into the father whom he hates. The other two of the trinity are fantastic characters to Hunter and compliment him very well. The conversation, banter, and story progression make this a completely easy read or listen to. Lovers of Paranormal/Romance/Young Adult/Fantasy will love this book. 4 out of 5 stars.
