Journeys Through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) by James Talisman – Review by Colleen Noyes

Journeys Through TimeSpaceJourneys Through TimeSpace by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mr. Talisman’s second book I must say was even better than the first book. One of the things I appreciated most about this one was that there seemed to be more personality with the characters. I loved how Matt, Julia, and Dan had almost a sibling banter. There were several times that I laughed out loud because I could visualize it. I enjoyed the way that certain storylines circled back to part of book 1 and I found myself thoroughly engaged in the adventures from beginning to end. Mr. Talisman does a very good job of visualization without overdoing it or leaving huge gaps of filler. Over all I felt much more connected to this story which makes me longing for the next one. You could also see the growth in the author’s writing and commitment to detail. While this is not a genre I read often, I was enthralled and would recommend it to anyone that likes adventure, treasure hunting, and much more. Well done Mr. Talisman!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is not my normal genre, but I found it so intriguing! The author does a great job of bringing the reader in visually. As you are reading you can close your eyes and feel like you are right there. While I loved all the characters I would love to see them split into two books, it was hard for me to keep up with them all, but that is probably just a personal thing. Each character had a unique personality, no two were the same and I loved that there is nothing else out there like this book that I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to read more from this author and see how they grow. I found it hard to believe this was a debut novel, because it was that well written. There is action, mystery, scenes that could be in a movie and even some romance. I immediately felt connected to a couple of the characters which always keeps me glued to a book and I couldn’t put this one down!

Grumbler's Ride (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #2)Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I simply adore this author and with this book she’s done it again! Grumblers Ride is Book 2 in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series. This time we take a look in to Grumbler’s life. Being one of the older members of the MC, he has never had anyone special to call his own and not to mention that he never wanted to either. He also never had or desired having kids. His Harley Davidson is the love of his life, that is until he meets a young girl and her mother. Mary is raising her 17 year old daughter Alicia on her own since her husband passed. When these two meet they form a friendship. When things start taking a turn for the worse they get closer until one day it just clicks for Grumbler. Now that the situation that they found themselves in, Grumbler decides he wants Mary as his own. This story was so great because it reached to those who are older. It isn’t about a young guy and girl trying to find someone. I was able to connect to the book in that way. However, I do have to mention that in Manda Mellett style, this book was so incredibly good. I love all of her MC series and continue to want to read more and more of her books. I recommend this book to anyone who loves MC books!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In City Without A Sun (Vampire State Book 2) by Alexander Charalambides, we join Rowena in the next stage of her journey as she struggles for human rights in a city of vampires. As the only human that has ever been granted an audience with their emperor you would think they would be knocking down her door. But such is not the case. This is a great second book to this series. This one is a bit of a tease I can’t wait to read the next one.

Scepter of FlintScepter of Flint by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Lord Hani Mysteries series. I love these books as it contains my two favourite subjects. Ancient Egypt and mystery.  When I first started the series I thought it would be hard to follow with all the ancient names and God’s but the way they are written makes them easy to follow and most of the characters are in all 3 books so I recommend reading them from the beginning.

In this book we are back with Lord Hani who has been given a new assignment. There has been some tomb robberies but who is responsible for them? With the new prince taking over and changes to everyone’s way of life Hani doesn’t know who to trust. Could it be that the new Prince is actually behind the robberies? Lord Hani has a impossible task to get to the bottom of this mystery.

Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2) by Manda Mellett is a great love story. People caught up in situations they never expected to be in with people they never expected to be with. I love how Manda Mellet’s stories deal with the evil underbelly of our society and the justice it so richly deserves. There are adult situations in this story that some may find uncomfortable and there is violence. But generally, it’s a sweet love story.

Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie: A Gripping Thriller (Jake Wolfe Book 1) by Mark Nolan – Review by Jenni Bishop

Dead Lawyers Don't Lie (Jake Wolfe, #1)Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie (Jake Wolfe #1) is an action-packed thriller. This gripping tale is one rollercoaster ride with lots of twists and turns you don’t see coming. It is a suspenseful thriller that is so engrossing that the end is upon you before you know it. As much as there is action galore and a barrel of suspense it is also funny. Jake and his best friend Terrell just crack me up. Not to mention Cody.

Jake Wolfe is ex-military, and also a photojournalist for local news. Whilst following a lead for digging up dirt on a high-profile lawyer, he witnesses his murder, putting himself in the path of the killer. What ensues is a game of cat and mouse as the killer is hell bent on tracking down Jake. But he is not the only one that wants to take Jake down, his ex druggie alcoholic fiancée is abusive and unhinged and a sociopath who is a police officer and a major bully also want a piece of the action. He has found an amazing woman but can he hang on to her?

Mark is a unique and dynamic storyteller and he packs a punch with his vivid vision and portrayal of fully developed characters and never-ending action.

The Bullet Theory (Dr. Nolan Mills, #1)The Bullet Theory by Sonya Jesus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Bullet Theory by Sonya Jesus is a psychological thriller. This intricately woven web of murder and crime is full of suspense as we follow the clues and the twists and turns. The characters are complex and well developed and each dealing with their own heart ache. Sonya certainly puts them and us through our paces with this story. The trauma is deep, and the manipulation is ripe which makes you wonder just how far you would go for revenge. Would you sell your soul to the devil?

Your heart will be pumping as Adam and the team are in the fight for their lives.

Love Heels!: The TV news business can be murder (PJ Santini Series Book Three) by Lynne Russell

5 Stars

I feel like a broken record when reviewing this author and this series. PJ Santini is absolutely one of my favorite characters ever. I’ve mentioned before how much I’d love to be her best friend and now add in that I would love to be a part of her family.

Her new case is one that had me on the edge of my seat most of the way and one of my favorite things about this book is the interaction between PJ and all of the other characters, the quick wit and back and forth is so awesome.

I’ve also said this before about the other 2 books, but I already can not wait to read this series again, it is definitely a favorite and I can only wish that it someday makes it to TV, it would be so much fun watching these stories play out and can only imagine who would play each role.

Loved it, and will read anything by this author. Even though they can be read as stand alones you really will appreciate them more if you read them in order.

Awesome!

Whew, I’ve decided this is my favorite so far of the whole series, although because this is not a genre I normally read I stay pretty confused a lot, but it doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the series and the writing, which I fully appreciate. I feel as if I need to go reread the whole series because this author has such a talent for making me want to understand everything happening and I am looking forward to doing that.

There’s a lot of moving parts in this story, readers of this genre are getting everything they would need in this story. I love the deep relationships in this book and the romance is done in a way that it doesn’t take over the story, but definitely there. Rune is an amazing character and her part written beautifully

I will absolutely read just about anything by this author, her writing style is one that I completely enjoy. I am totally invested in these characters!

Awesome!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grumbler’s Ride is the second novel in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series. It follows Grumbler, Lost’s sargent-in-arms.

Grumbler is one of the oldest members of the club and was in the club when everything went down with Snake. He has never had a family, or kids, or anything but the club and his bike.

Mary is a single mom of a teenage daughter. She is struggling like most parents do with how to balance her child almost being an adult, but not quite being there yet.

I really enjoyed the second installment of this series and truly cannot wait to delve more into this series and this author’s other series!

This book didn’t disappoint! I loved the first book in the series and this one is even better. There are some dark parts (could be a trigger for some) but the relationship between the older couple Grumbler and Mary make it so worth it. The way that Grumbler steps in to help Mary and her teenage daughter is heartwarming. The fact that members of other chapters assist each other is nice to see. I really like the San Diego chapter and I’m looking forward to reading the other series Ms. Mellett has written to learn about those chapters.

This is the first book I have read by Manda Mellett. I think it might even be the first book I’m reading about a biker chapter. I’ve enjoyed learning about how the San Diego chapter functions, all the different businesses they run, and what their beliefs are. The chapter prez “Lost” is an older member who even after having this position for several years, he still feels unworthy. The chapter is notified by a chapter in Colorado to keep an eye on some family members under whiteness protection. When Lost meets Patsy, he immediately feels a connection and it seems Patsy does too. It’s nice to see these older characters find interest in each other. This is a great beginning to a series and I’m looking forward to learning more about the characters we meet in this book.

By Megan Mackie

This book was a grab you by the first page and not let you go until the end kind of book. I recommend reading the first two books in this series before embarking on this one. This story is full of magic, danger, suspense, drama and wonderful characters. The author does an exceptional job writing with such vivid detail that you feel like you’re in the story and you can’t help but become invested in the characters and the storyline. There are unexpected twists and turns, I couldn’t put it down until I got answers. This is truly a gem. There is a lot going on in this story with many characters but it all flows together so nicely that you don’t feel lost. I find this to be such an original series and I am so glad I dove right in. I highly recommend this book.

The North Wind Descends is the 4th book in the Lord Hani Mysteries series written by N. L. Holmes. The series takes place back in history when Egypt was a thriving country. In this book Lord Hani is being celebrated for his accomplishments and has been given a new title. He’s not very sure why this is happening because he tends to get on the King’s wrong side.

The author does a wonderful job of bringing us readers into ancient Egypt and makes us feel like we have been transported there. I also love the mystery, danger, and intrigue that Lord Hani must work through to find answers while keeping his family safe.

They must find out who is robbing several tombs while a plague is taking the lives of rich and poor alike.

Well this is the second book in this series and what can I say but it just adds to it and I was not
let down. I really like how the author is able to keep the flow of the series. The second book brings
us even further into the Vigilantes world. I really felt as though I was right there in the thick of
it.

I really like how the author brings the characters to life. The chemistry between Sloane and Luke really adds to the mix. I again was so impressed of the balance of crime, intrigue and romance. The author has a unique balance that really ticks all the boxes for the genres covered. I like how the stories intermix with the characters and even though there is a focused couple the rest are included and bring a deeper story to the mix. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series.

Holy cow this book was something else! It’s the first novel I’ve read by Manda Mellet, but defintely will not be the last! The detail and length of the novel reminded me of a lot of Kristen Ashely’s novels which is pretty awesome!

Lost is the MC Prez of the San Diego chapter of the Satan’s Devils. He took over a few years ago after the club seemed like it was going to fall apart from too many bad members. When his club is called upon to watch a mother and her son who are in WitSec. He never could have known something would awaken within him that’s been dormant for decades.

Patsy had to make an impossible choice and now she is trying to accept that decision. When her new life finds trouble after just barely starting, she meets some new people.

Can Patsy and Lost find any common ground? Will their chemistry ignite anyrhing? Or will Patsy need to move on to her next chapter before anything can start? I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait for more!!

I love these books and they have a mystery and also are set with figures from the past bringing history to life. The characters are amazingly written that you can’t help fall in love with them all.

In this story we find the Hunters at the home of Vlad the Impaler. What turns out to be a simple search for some ancient treasure takes a deadly turn when they find a chalice. This seemingly harmless artifact turns into a dark adventure as someone from their past returns with their eye set on claiming that prize.

High Heels And MistletoeHigh Heels And Mistletoe by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

High Heels and Mistletoe is a great Christmas holiday romance novel from C.A. King. I have read a few of C.A. King’s book but all of those were from the paranormal/fantasy genre, so I was a new experience for me. I already knew that I was in for a great story as C.A. King is a great storyteller. I’m glad to say that I was right as I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
Julietta is frantic as she normally goes on vacation at Christmas due to her allergy to mistletoe, however this year she’s in the middle of working on a huge deal and her boss wont let her away until this is signed and sealed. This makes for some very amusing scenes as Julietta comes close to mistletoe. Unlike some allergies which make you sneeze or come out in spots, mistletoe makes Julietta extremely clumsy. Her first meeting with the new client is made even better as he’s giving out mistletoe (along with his phone number) to pretty ladies to hopefully get a date for the family Christmas party.
I’m sure you can imagine how amusing that scene would be. Add that to many other humerous scenes between these two as their attraction to one another grows and you are in for a great book which will keep you engaged from the very beginning right up to the very end.
A bit of romance and humour, then add in Christmas and you get the recipe for a great book that I’d recommend others read.

Grumbler’s Ride is the second book in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series. It can be read as a standalone.
I enjoyed that the author seems to be writing more mature characters in the San Diego series. The main male character in this book is almost sixty, so it makes the feel of this book a bit different than if he was in his thirties. I love how the romance develops from the two main characters being friends first.
Be aware that this book may contain parts that will be sensitive for some readers, including a brief description of harm to children and pregnancy risks after forty.

High Heels and Mistletoe is a festive, romantic read by C.A. King.

Julietta has a somewhat strange problem. Due to a family curse, she spends Christmas avoiding any form of holiday cheer…mistletoe in particular.
Luke is an all-out Christmas fanatic, his lifestyle appears a little shallow at first, but he certainly knows how to celebrate Christmas as he loves everything about it. So, when their paths collide it was never going to be smooth sailing, but they can both learn a lot from each other.
This was a great Christmas themed book, perfect for this time of year to start getting me into the spirit of the season. I wasn’t sure about the characters at first, but I soon couldn’t stop reading and was completely invested in the story.
