On Viking Seas (Forerunner, Book #3)On Viking Seas by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

On Viking Seas is the third book in The Forerunner Series by Jay Veloso Batista. This is an epic fantasy- with plenty of adventure, action, history, (Norse) mythology, Vikings, hidden agendas, paranormal beings and elements, danger, drama, challenges, revenge, curses, and more.
There was so much going on in this story, and so many characters (most with difficult to pronounce names to try to remember) that at times this story got quite confusing.
I didn’t realise going into this story that it is book three in the series, so I think I would have fared better if I had read the other two books first before starting on this one. I have gone back and purchased books one and two- and plan on reading them soon. So, hopefully knowing what transpired in those first two books will shed this book in a better light.
I can tell that the author is very passionate about the subject matter and his stories, and it apparent that he put a lot of blood, sweat, heart, soul, and research into his work- which resulted in the rich and vibrant picture he painted that allowed his story to come to life.
But with so much going on, and so many different POV’s to get my head around, and the many difficult names to remember really made for a confusing and ‘choppy’ read for me. I did settle into it more as the story unfolded, so maybe I will feel better about this story once I have read the other two books. So stay tuned.
But if you like epic fantasy, with plenty of different situations, motivations, and threads- then this is definitely the book for you.

Thank you, Jay Veloso Batista.

WOW– this series just gets better and more addictive with each new release. Key West Dead is the gripping new instalment in the Jake Wolfe series by Mark Nolan. I know I keep saying this, but I really can’t get enough of this series- and I don’t think I’ll ever tire of joining Jake and Cody on one of their exciting ‘adventures’- no pressure, Mr. Nolan, but I hope you’ve got many more exciting adventures for Jake, Cody, and their many ‘friends’ to negotiate, because I have a slight addiction and need a regular ‘fix’ to keep me going- so a regular ‘supply’ for the foreseeable future would be excellent, thanks! 😊
This story could be read as a standalone- but as there are recurring characters, as well as other important details that help to build a bigger picture, I would recommend reading the other books first, before embarking on this adventure as knowing what has happened previously, and how much Jake and Cody have been through together- will greatly enhance your reading experience of this story.
This time Jake and Cody are pitted against a psychotic bomber who is hell bent on a demented agenda… and taking out Jake and Cody in a fiery inferno just became his top priority- the perfect ‘icing’ on his deadly plot. Will Jake and Cody manage to outwit their deadly adversary long enough to take him down, as well as keeping their friends safe in the process? This is definitely worth the read to find out!!
I could go on and on about every little detail of this fantastic book- but instead I will sign off here so you can grab yourself a copy and dive in asap- highly recommended!
I can’t wait to see what Jake and Cody get up to next!

Thank you, Mark Nolan, for another gripping read!

Ready For Flynn, Part 1 (Ready For Flynn #1)Ready For Flynn, Part 1 by K.L. Shandwick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an emotional book, full of the realities of life and the unfamiliarities of growing up. Ready for Flynn tells the story of Valerie Darsin, your typical teen with a large and loving family who lived in a simplistic and small town. Her picturesque life is suddenly thrown upside down in a series of events, starting with the introduction of a guy named Flynn. The illusive Flynn and small-town Valerie have obvious chemistry and attraction, throughout the emotional rollercoaster that is this story. It’ll leave you wondering if Valerie really is Ready for Flynn.

So wonderful to return to The Broken Bow and the amazing characters that make up the nearby town! Loved reading about Rayna, Thomas and Mason! In Plain Sight differed from the usual romance storyline but that just helped to build the characters and the setting – something different but wonderful. Would definitely recommend this whole series!

Sure As Hell (Life is Hell #4)Sure As Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I fell into this series on accident and I’ve really enjoyed the fall.
Stumbling onto this series, each story just gets better and better – pulling me in deeper and deeper. So naturally, when I found this book, I had high hopes. I’m so in love with this series, the characters and how each story just yanks you in and ‘Sure as Hell’ is no different.
I’m a sucker for romance novels – gender has never mattered to me. It has always been about the story telling and the character development. The only thing I got confused by reading this is I wasn’t sure who I was cheering for. It seemed each character had multiply partners and I wasn’t too sure who’s love story I was reading. But even though I’m not familiar with a multi partner love story – I still really enjoyed the journey this story took me on.

Spiteful Punks: dolls and douchebags part one by Madeline Fay

Spiteful Punks is a dark and intense read that may be a trigger for some but if you can push through it really is a great book. I was drawn in from the beginning and kept me turning the pages till the end. There was a couple of times I wanted to jump in and help Tillie but she truly is a strong woman., Badass really. Tillie’s life has pretty much been pure hell since her uncle died and her dad has tortured her for years. She’s been through lots of pain but what happens when she escapes t and tries to start over somewhere else? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

So I love paranormal stories so I was ready to dive into this one, I really enjoyed the plot. I really like the whole moving to a new town trope and obviously, Zach is the first to catch Emily’s eye and things begin, the story is full of teenage drama and honestly, I love it. I really enjoyed the writing and I can’t wait to see what the author does next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Spiteful Punks – Dolls and Douchebags part one by Madeline Fay is not a book for the feint hearted but I cannot wait to read part 2. It left so many questions unanswered. Poor Tillie has not had a great start to life, brought up in the clutches of the MC her father runs, she is forced into acts that she never wants any part of and is repeatedly broken down by those around her. When she finally gets a chance to escape she is brought to the door of 4 men who may be just as dangerous as the one that she left behind. Tillie is a strong character and I really hope that she gets the break she deserves in the next part. I would recommend this book to those who like a dark read, but there are trigger warnings so readers need to be mindful of that.

I enjoyed this historical romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet so far. This is the fifth book in this series but can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous books as they are that great. This is a well written story that pulled me in from the beginning. It is a fast paced story about Jane who is twenty-five and determined to find love and marriage by the end of the season. Then you have Alexander who has been okay with no one until now. Now that he has started looking for a partner in marriage, he runs into Jane. But fate has put a criminal in the path and now they find themselves imprisoned but once freed they go their own ways. What will fate have in store for them? Will they find their way back to each other and still have the same feelings? I enjoyed watching them grow throughout this story. They bring life and make the story entertaining to read. I am glad I picked up this book and highly recommend it.

Wow!! I finished this book a couple days ago and needed to think about it a bit before I came to write this review. This is my first book by this author and I was more than pleasantly surprised. I have since checked out her other books and will absolutely be reading some of those. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, I went in blind so had no idea what I was in for. It would have been very simple to get really confused about what was happening but the way this author put it all together had me figuring it out quickly and made it very easy to follow. What I didn’t figure out was the ending… It came on quite quickly and had my mind all over the place thinking back to things that happened throughout the book. That was well played and even had me doing some googling when I finished LOL

I completely enjoyed every word of this book and can not wait to read more from this author.

I really enjoyed this love story. It was full of emotion and the author does a great job of building the characters and describing the place they are in.

Last time she was in Hawaii she met someone who made her feel alive so even though the production she’s working on isn’t the best she lefts with hopes to rekindle that romance.

What she doesn’t plan for is Henry.

Henry is a stuntman on the production she is working on. He’s not her normal type she goes for but the chemistry between them is electric and instant.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Whenever you pick up a Phoebe Alexander book you know you are in for a good read, well with this series you are gifted with five wonderful characters and stories.

This series follows five friends from college who over the years had grown apart but have now recently connected back up in Philadelphia. Each book contains one of the friends and there wacky and hilarious relationships and eventually to the end goal and find love in their lives.

A-Hole follows the ups and down of Ace and the story how he found love with Elle, The Big O recounts the hilarious story of Ozzy and the encounters with Hazel. The next juice story involves Dante and Julia in Need the D, with Hard F following Fox and Jenna and not forgetting the last of the bunch Cruz and Mia in Ride the C.

Each story offers and insight into the lives of these wonderful characters and each book is the size of novella so you can read one in minutes, I read the whole series in a day and enjoyed every word written. Each character is different but the same in ways and with the hilarious things they get up to and the chemistry between not just the relationships but the friends is heart warming. Although they are short stories you never feel cheated in the stories although you are always left wanting more from the brilliant author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When your whole life has been in darkness can a light seep through the cracks and blast through the darkness, that’s the hope Lexi is looking for.

Lexi has had a dark past, full of hurt and evil but as she is trying to piece her life together she stumbles upon someone who could ignite to spark that has been buried so deep she feels she may have lost forever. Until Lucca walks into her office and then all bets are off.

Lucca is not particular looking for the one but when he walks into the physiotherapists office that day he did not know that it would change his life forever and meet the woman of his dreams.

This series is in three stages like a play, the first book introduces us to Lexi and the hideous life she has been through until this time and you truly cry inside for this woman, with her feeling so closed off and existing not living until one day Lucca walks in and then her feelings change. The story is pretty fasted pace from then, there relationship is in warp speed and very sexual which was a joy to read.

The stories were well written and I am glad I got to read them one after the other and fully appreciate the chemistry burning between these two character was a pleasure to read. As each book progress you get to see more into this beautiful couple and slowly see the boundaries that Lexi had built up breakdown with each confidence and trust she has with Lucca. I also loved that although through the first two books we see it from the prospective of Lexi the third book is written in Lucca’s prospective and is a brilliant counter to the thoughts and feelings you read within the page of the first two books.

This is the first books I have read from this author and would love to read more of them in the future.

When you are in slump and decide to take an adventure to find your lost lost but fate has a funny way of catching up with you.

Claudia is in a funk in her career as an actress, belle of the ball a few years ago she was at the top of her career then a couple of years later she is like kryptonite nobody wants her, so when an opportunity of a job comes along she jumps at the chance plus it will take her back to the island and the one that got away. Although she is not prepared of what happens when she arrives.

Henry is good at his job, he steps in to help out the leading man when there is a dangerous stunt and he has never wanted to be the celebrity he is happy in the shadows until this day in she strolls onto the set with that outfit and instantly Henry is attracted to her, but will she be attracted to him the stuntman.

I loved this story the slow burn of the main characters was a dream to read, I sometimes feel the authors rush bringing to people together but this was poetry. The instant chemistry and banter between these two was excellent reading and with such a well developed story you will be delving into their world with every word written. I feel for Henry straight away and have yet another book boyfriend to add to the very extensive list, although I had not read the series and this was my first book it flowed brilliantly and the author gave you enough information to follow the characters and story as a stand alone book. I can’t read more from this series and this author in the future.

When Jake and Sarah are attending a wedding of an brother in arms, they get more fireworks than the wedding itself. Can Jake find the person blowing up boats or will he kill more people?

Jake and Sarah are attending one of Jake’s military buddies wedding and they decide to hire a boat for the weekend, with their trust friend Cody will the trio enjoy a lovely get away or will it end up in disaster.

While in the ceremony they discover that a few of his fellow vets have received death threats and Jake’s sense become alert as he feels that something is not right and that he feels something bad is about to happen, but on the way back to the boat they befriend a couple and walk them back to their boat, within minutes the whole atmosphere changes and Jake is drawn into a murder investigation. Can he find out who is blowing up all these boats, can he locate the bombs with his trust bomb dog Cody or will the killer escape.

This is the first story I have read by this author and I loved it, the twists and turners have you wrestling to uncover who the killer and the bomber is with piecing the clues along the way. I loved that the ne character is a dog and a very intelligent dog, the research that must have gone into the book is fascinating and brilliant to understand these brilliant creatures was absolutely amazing.

I loved the character of Jake and the interaction with his friends was a great read, the banter was a great light relief to a hard hitting storyline and with an excellent and well written story draws you further into the story page by page. I can’t wait to start this series from the beginning, although this can be read as a stand alone story I would like to get to know where Jake and Cody’s bond comes from and how Jake met Sarah and get to understand more that relationship.

But it is not all sunshine and roses she certainly puts the characters through many twists and turns and has you on the edge of your seat.

Jordan finds herself with unwanted attention and Grant a devoted police officer is determined to be the one to keep her safe and protect her with his life.

This is the first story I have read by Madeline Fay, but it will not be my last. Not for the weak of heart due to the mature content. (Rape, sexual assault, torture). This is a quick read that will leave you wanting more. It’s one of those page turners that makes you forget you need to do anything else.

Tillie’s teen years were horrific. When the people who are there to protect you, are the ones causing you harm, what is there to do? Each character has more to them than meets the eye, leaving you emotional and distraught.

Can love shine through the trauma?

This was a great read. I have read other books by this author so I figured it would be a good book but it was better than my expectations. Zach and Emily come from different worlds but that doesn’t stop the pull they feel for each other. Their senior year comes with it’s own problems but once you add werewolves and vampires it makes for that much more. I was completely drawn into this story with the author’s attention to detail. I had a hard time putting down this book, needing to know what was going to happen next and then at the end I was left with a cliffhanger!! I need to read the next one right now!!

Tillie’s life growing up was tolerable until her uncle disappeared and her father took it out on her. When he commits an unforgivable act of betrayal, Tillie knows she has to escape. When she finally escapes she can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel of her horrid past.
However, Tillie soon finds that she may have escaped one prison for another. She finds herself under the watchful eyes of four men that not only scare her…but also make her feel something more. Logan, Trey, Nicholas and Dalton are determined to break their new doll and bend her to their will…but Tillie is not going down without a fight.
This story pulled me in from the first page…and I was hanging on until the last. It ends in a cliffhanger, so I am definitely looking forward to the next book. There are some very dark themes that others may find triggering…so be warned. However, I loved every second of it and can’t wait to see what happens next!

Sure As Hell (Life Is Hell Series Book 4) by Naomi Valkyrie is my favorite book of this series! Don’t get me wrong, they are all good but this one is the best. I love that Ms. Valkyrie showcases Jaru the main character who happens to be neurodivergent. Jaru’s struggles with indecision, how he approaches challenges, how he cares about other characters, how the characters interact with him, and the support these characters show Jaru is very special. It reminds you of how we all should live to treat others the way we want to be treated. That being different than the norm is okay because those that are will show those normal people a different perspective of life.

This is the third installment in a series by this author. I have never read the previous two books or any other books by this writer. I was intrigued by the cover as I am drawn into books about the beach. What I found was a FANTASTIC story that sucked me into the Hawaiian waves from the beginning. I was quite concerned because I hadn’t read the previous books but after reading it I don’t think that’s necessary. I could literally see this story happening before my very eyes that is how vivid the writing and details were. Not only did she tug at my heartstrings, but she took me on an emotion roller coaster ride. I have never been to Hawaii but have always wanted to go. This book has only made that desire increase because I can only imagine how breathtaking it is in person since the scenery in my head was so visually stunning. The characters had great chemistry yet so much turmoil that had me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what the conclusion would be. I intend to pick up the previous books to read them as I have fallen in love with this writer. I hope that she will continue their stories.

This is the first book I have read from this author and wow what a rush. I love a dark romance but this author blew my expectations out of the water. I must warn you this might trigger a lot of readers and it’s not for light hearted readers. This book gave me chills at times. All the characters drew me in right from the start. I could not put this book down until the very end. I can’t wait to see what the second book will be.

Tillie is living in pure hell. She is just a possession not a real human where she grew up. Tillie can’t take it anymore and when she is told to run to this address she does. She doesn’t know what she is getting into and where she is going but anywhere is better than where she is or is it? Tillie is welcomed into a family that she has no idea who or what they are all about. All she wants is to feel safe and loved but will she ever get there? Will Tillie find peace or is this another place of torture?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Spiteful Punks starts with a bang and keeps on going! Certainly lives up to the label of dark/bully romance. Shorter read that leaves you wanting more. Ends on a cliffhanger.

Trigger warning: rape, suicidal contemplation, sexual assault, drug use, abuse, death, torture, and general demeaning of women.

With the first chapter being so graphic and gut wrenching I wasn’t sure about Spiteful Punks, but I ended up really enjoying the story. Readers see Tillie’s world torn apart but she continues to fight to live her life her way. Fleeing from her bad familial situation and the M.C. life, to someone who’s supposed to be a lifeline, she is again thrust into danger and people who want to rule her, but she knows how to survive and starts to turn the tables.
There is so much dark sexual angst between Tillie and the four young men: Logan, Dalton, Tey, and Nicky. Each of them is so dark in their own way, and each sets off something inside her that yearns for them, allowing for her sexual awakening despite her past. Logan, Dalton, Tey and Nicky each desire Tillie, but is it just insta-lust? Can they actually care for someone outside of their group, with the baggage each of them carries?
Mention of M/M interest, potential for crossing swords in further books.
Ends on a major cliffhanger, but I can’t wait for book 2 to see what Tillie has in store for the boys, and they for her.
Spiteful punks touches many dark romance subtopics including New Adult, Motorcycle Club, Gang, Corrupt Police, and High School Bully.

Each story is different in their own way and are all brilliant i could not possibly pick a favourite.
