Of Fire and Bone (Of Magic & Scales, #3)Of Fire and Bone by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

This is the third book in the Of Magic and Scales series and I was surprised by how much I liked the story and this is mainly because m/m stories are not my thing – but having read the rest of the series I wanted to see how it ended. Again, the author told a magical tale and I was really engaged in what I was reading. There was so much going on in this story that I couldn’t put it down – the authors writing style was really good. I would definitely recommend that the series is read in order. I have really enjoyed this series and Of Fire and Bone was a perfect conclusion.

Mr. Nice Guy (Pierce Brothers, #1)Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Mr. Nice Guy is the first book in the Pierce Brothers series by Belinda Williams. I never pass up any of Belinda Williams’ stories- as she never fails to deliver a very entertaining read. This is a fun romcom with a bit of a friends-to-lovers element that gave the story an extra element of interest for me.
Chelsea has been unlucky in love, always falling for the bad boys who aren’t cut out to be in a relationship. Tom happens to be her friend and housemate who has heard about every one of the ‘failures’. He has a suggestion that takes Chelsea by surprise, but also intrigues her. And so a fake relationship begins. Tom will show Chelsea what she’s been missing out on by not dating a ‘nice guy’. Get set for the fun to begin. Will the lines between friendship become blurred beyond recognition? What happens if feeling become involved? This story is worth the read to find out all the entertaining details.
Another great read from Belinda Williams. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the series!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Belinda Williams!

Yet again another outstanding 5 star read from this author. After reading the synopsis for this story I couldn’t wait to get started – it was just brilliant from start to finish. This is the first book from this author that I’ve read that ends on a cliff-hanger in anticipation for part two and what a cliff-hanger it is! I cannot wait for the next part of this story! I will say, and so does the author, that there are triggers in this story and it was hard to read in parts the author made everything seem so real at times. I felt really connected to the characters, and I definitely loved some and hated others! I am really looking forward to seeing where the author takes the next book!

Kingdom of War

Kingdom Journals

Book 4

AUDIO BOOK 

By Tricia Copeland 

☆☆☆☆☆

This is a full length Paranormal fantasy. Readers of all ages will enjoy Kingdom of War. I feel the YA would really enjoy this action packed adventure. Paranormal at it’s best. 

 

This is Hunter’s story and the part he takes in the Trinity of Light. He is the leader of the teens as they search for the needed shards. As well as a coming of age fantasy.  Will Evil win over the Good? Will Hunter and the others find what they seek? Will they be on time?

 

Tricia Copeland is the author in this series. Her story is planned out perfectly. This was one fantastic rollercoaster of a ride. Fast paced and action packed. Great road trip audiobook for the whole family. This story’s characters are just who I pictured them to be, as I listened to the story. Strong women as well as strong men work together bringing this adventure to life. Well Done Tricia Copeland! Well Done! ! !

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book Review: Being Lost
Author: Manda Mellett
FIVE STARS
From beginning to end of this book I was enamoured with Lost. His demons that haunt his every thought, his desire to not screw up anything. His desire to please and protect those around him. His story from the beginning was so fantastic.
Patsy is a mom first and foremost and her kids are he reason for being, I identify with Patsy so much. I cannot imagine having to not only CHOOSE which child I am going to stay with and not be able to contact the other EVER again. That is just torture of great proportions.
The way that Lost handles and leads the men of the Satan’s Devils MC is just admirable. That he is so worried about failure and disappointment that he takes the time to think things through before they go off on a mission. It was awesome seeing how well he lead them into their missions.
I loved this book and I am looking forward to learning more about the Satan’s Devils.

Grave Digger AcademyGrave Digger Academy by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is another great book by one of my favorite writers. It is the beginning of a series and I’m already waiting to get my hands on the next book because I didn’t want to put this one down. It’s reminiscent of the Harry Potter and the Simon Fayter book series of which I am huge fans of. This is filled with a lot of twists and turns and as the character is learning to come to terms with her talents as well as unknown family secrets. The main character reminds me a lot of Hermione Granger with her wits and talents so of course that was great to see. There aren’t that many female heroines in most of these young adult fantasy books. And unlike Hogwarts this academy isn’t the most sought-after school. But it turns out to be perfectly imperfect for the characters. I can’t wait to read the next installment of this wonderfully written book.

This was such a good book. I love Mary and Grumbler’s just interaction with each other. It’s refreshing to read non insta love books. Where the friendship builds into something more. As a mom with the most dramatic 3 year old daughter ;I’m terrified of her teenage years. I feel for Mary doing it on her own and trying to make the best decisions she can. It’s wonderful seeing lost and patsy throughout the story also! This book will seriously have you on your toes. It definitely has topics that touch the real world and will have you gasping at times. I cried more than once throughout the book. I could not recommend this more!!

Mr. Nice Guy (Pierce Brothers, #1)Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mr Nice Guy is the first book in the Pierce Brothers Series by Belinda Williams. It is a great contemporary romance. I became a fan of Belinda Williams after reading the Freshwater series and was looking forward to a new series. I can safely say that this series has got off to a fantastic start. I really loved Mr Nice Guy which is a great example of a friends-to -lovers romance.
When Tom gets sick of his flatmate Chelsea complaining about her endless stream of loser boyfriends he offers her a proposition – give him seven days and seven nights to show her how good a nice guy can be.
I absolutely loved Tom and Chelsea. Tom is totally devoted to his job as a paramedic and Chelsea loves her job in childcare but is unsure of her future. Together they make such an amazing couple and there are many funny exchanges as Tom shows Chelsea how much better life can be when you are with a nice guy.
We do get a brief peek at some of the other Pierce brothers whom I assume we will get to know very well throughout this series and I’m intrigued to learn more about them.
100% recommend this book and look forward to the rest of the series.

Lake of Flowers (Lord Hani #5)Lake of Flowers by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Lake of Flowers is the fifth book in The Lord Hani Mysteries by N.L Holmes. As with the other books in this series, this is a mystery set in ancient Egypt- a story full of historical details that give it a rich and vibrant feel with plenty intrigue, drama, hidden agendas, politics, secrets, danger, duty, family, interesting characters, and more.
I have followed the series right from the beginning and have developed quite a soft spot for Hani, our MC in the series. He is a great character and I enjoy following him on his ‘adventures’. But this story isn’t about to let him ease up any- as there is a theft to investigate which leads to sinister agendas. Hani’s loyalty, duty, ideals, and diplomatic skills will be tested as he becomes caught in a battle between two warring forces. What transpires makes for a really great read.
As expected- this story once again showcases the authors passion for history- and especially this time period- her in-depth knowledge and familiarity with the historical aspects of the era really does enrich the whole story/series.
Looking forward to seeing what Hani gets up to next…
Happy Reading!!

Thank you, N.L Holmes!

This is the 4th book in the Antipodes series and it was just as enjoyable as the first 3. I would really recommend reading these books in order so you get the whole story. The author does an amazing job at creating the scenes and also creating characters you connect with. This book is another adventure from beginning to end with twists and turns you don’t see coming.

The characters are very relatable and really make you feel like you are in the book. The writing style is easy to read and addicting to get lost in. It makes you miss your college days and really remember to cherish those close to you. Read this book if you like witty banter, romantic build up, and a relatable coming of age story.

We have then Micah come into the picture, Thomas’ friend, help Samantha grieve but then plot the revenge on Velvet. There were some twists and turns to get to an end result, but will the revenge on Thomas’ death be a reality or fail? You definitely have to read this book, it is fantastic.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jameson, 16 year old loner living with his single mom, longs for a relationship with his father. When he finds an old notebook in the attic that describes proper way to be an arsonist, Jameson decides to follow in his father’s footsteps in the hopes that it will catch his father’s attention and he will come back home.

Pete is the victim of an arsonist, losing his young son in a fire. Hell bent on revenge, Pete will stop at nothing to make the arsonist pay. He quickly becomes consumed with finding his version of justice for his son.

Wow…The Arsonist’s Handbook is a great read. The characters are likeable, relatable, and real. The emotions from Pete are heart wrenching, and the desire of Jameson to have a relationship with his father is as well. Told from alternating points of view, as well as including chapters from the notebook Jameson finds, this book kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a good psychological thriller! The ending was completely unexpected! I can’t wait to read more from L.A. Detwiler!

The Divine Devils by R. Weir is the first book I’ve read by this author. First of all, from the beginning of the first chapter it caught my attention. The description of the daily routine for the children and the men protecting and guarding them got my interest. Then learning about Hunter Divine a bit and the reason why he takes a job when a former girlfriend reaches out for help. The next thing that I appreciated was getting the back story on the characters working with Hunter Divine and how each of them met him. What kept me reading to the end was the intrigue, suspense, and wondering who and why these kids are being targeted. I would recommend this book to friends and family in a heartbeat.

I have to admit that the book cover grabbed my attention and I knew I had to read it. I am not familiar with Laurencia Hoffman but I will be seeking out her other stories. The plotline is amazing. There was a darkness lurking about with a side of M/M romance for flavor. There are many emotional highs and lows. I was turning the pages faster and faster because I needed to know what was coming up. Her characters are fully developed and complex in nature. Shane has some deep secrets that could be deadly. He puts up a tough front until Callan pushes through the walls. To find out what happens to Callan and Shane you will have to read the book. Believe me, it is worth the read. I cannot wait to read Remember His Name book 2.

This book is packed full of such amazing writing. I was thoroughly impressed with this first book in the series. It managed to balance introducing quite a few side characters and giving them depth and backstory while not overwhelming the reader with too much to keep track of. The main characters in particular are written with so much intricacy that you immediately feel connected to them and invested in their story.

Deva, our main heroine has been hiding from a past that she is terrified of returning to but an obligation to pay off a debt pushes her to confront her past and in doing so she meets Aleksei, a fighter with an story of his own full of twists and turns. He has a sexy alpha personality but is there more to his story than meets the eye? And will Deva let herself fall for someone who reminds her so much of the past she left behind?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful dive into Ancient Egypt, and all of the wonderful colours, sights, sounds, and possible intrigues. There are lots of characters and motives going on here, with interesting subplots that add depth to the story. It is rich with imagery of food, scenery, and costume; it is easy to picture yourself amongst the orchards or lush palaces. I have to admit that this was the only book I’ve read in the series, and so I found some of the character and governmental names to be challenging to recall and keep straight. However, there is a glossary of names and terms at the beginning which helped to reference things. All in all, this is a very well written work, that fans of Ancient Egypt will devour.
