By Amanda Marin
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Flicker to Fire (Crimson Sash Book 3) by Amanda Marin. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. I have loved reading this series since the first book. I love the characters of Neve Hall and Micah Ward. They are both brave, strong, and have a fierce determination that the Nation’s human rights abuses do not go unpunished. Neve and Micah are characters that you can’t help but root for them to succeed against the Nation. They stand up for those who seek freedom and escape. They also have a love for one another that is undeniable. What does the future hold for Neve, Micah, and the New Republic? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. It has both heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. I found my emotions going up and down the entire time that I was reading the book. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters that each have their part to play in the story. The author does a wonderful job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive. I felt like I was right there with them. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining story that I didn’t want to put down until I had read the final page. I highly recommend reading it. It is the third book in a series and to fully understand all that transpires it is best to read the stories in order.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emilia tries to prove herself worthy of the family name when she is sent to the states to manage a hockey team. Matt strongly distrusts women and doesn’t ever consider seeing Emilia after their one night of passion.

This is a great read that doesn’t take long to get caught up in and wanting more of the Ice Tigers Franchise.

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened Series Book 1) by Isra Sravenheart – Review by Naomi McDonald

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened, #1)Her Blackened Soul by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Soul is the first book in the Blackened series.

I will be honest; I struggled a bit with this book. I LOVE the premise of the story. It has a lot of potential. I gave the book four starts for creativity and originality. What I had a difficult time with were the parts of it that were slow-moving. I felt like the book didn’t have a steady flow to it.

Her Blackened Soul is written in fairytale tale style, but from the villain’s angle. I am a fan of dark fantasy so I enjoyed that aspect of the story. Overall, I feel like this book could be fabulous with a little bit of added depth and removal of some of the more repetitive parts (i.e. the constant reminder of Isra’s evilness).

Even though I had a challenge with this book, I’ll probably check out book two to see if the writing has progressed. It may be that this book, because it is the first in the series, is a little bit rougher and things will polish up as it goes forward.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

YES! What a brilliant read to have read to introduce me to this author. Tammy Mannersly has created a read that really is captivating from the very beginning till the end! This is a real feel-good easy romance read that transported me into these characters world and took me along on their journey. This author has an incredible way with words that captures the readers attention from the very beginning and leaving you wanting more. Erica & Matt’s story is one that will resonate with others, and have you hoping that these two characters will get the HEA they deserve, but will their journey together be plain sailing or will there be obstacles in the way? I highly recommend this read and can’t wait to read more from this author!

Flicker to Fire (Crimson Sash, #3)Flicker to Fire by Amanda Marin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Flicker to Fire is the third book in the Crimson Sash series by Amanda Marin. It is an original futuristic, dystopian, YA fantasy- with sci-fi elements, action, adventure, drama, intrigue, friendship, romance, politics, violence, social justice messages, human rights issues, emotion, and lots more.
This book follows on from the first two, with a bridging storyline and many recurring characters- so I really recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one, to get the best possible reading experience of this story.
I have followed the series from the beginning and have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book to continue the adventure. So much has happened along the course of these three books- so I couldn’t help but get caught up in everything that transpired here and what the characters were going through. Amanda Marin certainly knows how to spin a riveting tale and held me enthralled the whole way through.
I don’t want to reveal any of the plot, past or present- just in case you haven’t read any of the books yet, as I really don’t want to give anything away that may spoil the story for you- except to say that if you love dystopian, YA, or future fantasy- then you probably won’t want to miss out on reading this book/series.
I wonder what Ms. Marin has planned for us next?

Thank you, Amanda Marin!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Breaking Traditions. The Shifter And The Mage. By Madilynn Dale.

A lovely wholesome story. Breaking Traditions is about two people (A Shifter and a Mage) from different walks of life, who society doesn’t want together, with a little bit of magic thrown into the mix., however they have a different perspective. I think the characters are very relatable and people you feel like you would enjoy being around in real life. Madilynn has done a fantastic job with this book I look forward to reading more of her work.

This is book 2 in the Rebecca Steele series. It follows on with Becky’s story and her career.
I didn’t read the first book but this book was easy to get into and follow that I didn’t feel I missed anything by not reading the first book.

Its a lovely romance set in Nashville. The landscapes of country music and working and living on a ranch really bring the characters and their lives to life. The characters are really likeable and you cant help wanting them to succeed.

Center of Gravity: A Standalone Friends-To-Lovers Sport Romance is the second book in the Ice Tigers Hockey series by Isabella Cassazza. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Cassazza,but definitely won’t be the last. This book can be read as a standalone, but the writing was wonderful and I look forward to reading the first book. Matt and Emilia have fantastic chemistry, but need help on relationship and trust issues. Hockey romances are one of my favorite genres, and this book is the best I have read this year. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Cassazza.

Center of Gravity (Ice Tigers #2)Center of Gravity by Isabella Cassazza

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Center of Gravity is the 2nd of 3 books in the Ice Tigers Hockey Romance series by Isabella Cassazza. It is the first I have read, but it can be enjoyed as a stand alone novel. I really loved it, and plan to go back and read book 1 next, then the 3rd book. The story is a romance, but it is clean, with only a couple scenes approaching the pg 13 range. The characters were wonderful, even though they both annoyed me at times. It is mostly told from Emilia’s point of view, but Matt had some chapters as well. I like books written so we can understand the feelings of both main characters. Both Matt and Emilia were overly stubborn, but I loved that they put their differences aside and quickly decided to co-parent. Emilia is a strong female lead character, and while Matt is stubborn as can be, he is also a really great guy. There are a lot of supporting characters that I bet will get their own stories, and I look forward to that. I recommend this book and will definitely read more.

Drawn to Him is a sweet small town contemporary romance by Tammy Mannersly– and is my favourite of her books, so far.
The story is quite captivating, with emotion, and some danger and drama thrown in which keep me avidly reading. The story is interesting and entertaining, it has a great pace, and flows really well.
The characters are really well developed and so easy to like. I connected with them right away. Erica and Matt were so great together- just loved them.

Thank you, Tammy Mannersly!

The Abduction of Sarah Tarbell: As Her Soul Remembers by Stuart Ledwith – Review by Jenni Bishop

The Abduction of Sarah Tarbell: As Her Soul RemembersThe Abduction of Sarah Tarbell: As Her Soul Remembers by Stuart Ledwith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Abduction of Sarah Tarbell by Stuart Ledwith is a compelling read that will stay with you long after you have read it. Be sure to have tissues at hand because it will wreck you emotionally. It is fast paced and a short read, but it definitely packs a punch. The story is about a young woman who has a harrowing and gruelling time after her abduction in the early 1700’s and captivity by Indians. She was also sold on and lived to tell her tale of a life she never dreamed about. The way Stuart tells her story you can feel everything that she goes through as if you were the one experiencing it.

It is just like the saying, sometimes “the truth is stranger than fiction”. Not a story to be missed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham is an interesting historical murder mystery set in early Scotland and I love Scotland and its history having visited there several times. And I can still remember the feel of Culloden and the resting place of many and this brought it all back. Historical fiction is not always my thing, but I occasionally don’t mind reading them. The story was a bit slow to start with and I found it hard at times to settle in but once I did finally did, I enjoyed the mystery and suspense that the story brings. Lexie is very detailed in her writing, so it was easy to imagine the world she has created. If you love a good mystery and a bit of history, then The Slaughter of Leith Hall is one to grab and read.

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened, #1)Her Blackened Soul by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened) by Isra Sravenheart is about a villainess who is a witch and very, very dark witch at that. It is a dark fairytaleish type story even as dark as the Grimm brothers. Not that this bothers me, I like dark and twisted sometimes but only if it is done right. For me the characters didn’t quite have the depth and growth I would have liked, and I found the constant reminder that our villainess was bad and had a dark soul a bit too much. I also found the story to be slow and found myself wandering whilst trying to stay focused. Just because it didn’t live up to my expectations, I have high standards, does not mean it will not for others, so please give it a go as it is an original concept.

☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length novel. Packed with an emotional thriller and ends with you wanting more. In this book you will be reading about mental illness and those that live within its grips. Not for those under 118 due to adult themes.

Aaron and Branson are Identical twins. They will win you over on page one, and have you riding that rollercoaster of terror. You will meet David, and follow his journal. I can’t help but feel for these men. Both doing so much for an education, working and caring for their family. So after you read about David, is he the stone that breaks the twins up? Or is he the one to bring these troubled men together. There will be no spoilers from me. As you must read it to believe it…Don’t forget to read book 1 first. It will open book 2 and that is where you will continue.

M. Billiter and Kyle Thomas have worked on this story. M. Billiter again brings a riveting story on mental disease and PTSD. I love the characters and the strength they bring forward..The struggle is real, and this family will fight the fight. This close loving family works through the monsters in this story. Please feel free to find a quiet place to read and enjoy. Make sure to have tissue and chocolate close by. Way to go M. Billiter and Kyle Thomas (Who is new to me) This story is great. I’ll be looking for more from you!

I loved this book and honestly couldn’t stop reading all day! I can’t even fully explain my emotion with this book. As a mother I was bawling.

Her Blackened Soul by Isra Sravenheart was a good book, but not great to me. I expected much more from reading the synopsis, and I was just a little disappointed in what I got. It wasn’t a bad book to read, it was just very slow to me building the story up, and it read so much like an old fairytale, but it wasn’t as short as a fairytale, so it just made it seem that much more drawn out. The characters were great and it had a great storyline and plot, it just wasn’t what I expected going in to read and I guess that just threw me off a little bit. I did enjoy reading this book however, and I do want to read more from this author in the future.

His teammate received a letter and shortly after reading the letter commits sucide. After getting hurt, he is sent home. What will happen when he runs into the person who wrote the letter? He decides to hurt them as much as he is angry about his friend. But will his plan backfire on him? He makes such a great character and is my favorite in the story. He made the story for me despite the revenge and the way he plans to get it. A great story that I highly recommend.

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened Series #1) by Isra Sravenheart

This is the first book that I’ve read by Isra. This was a wonderful read. This fantasy had me in the world of Lady Isra. This is the first book in The Blackened Series.

Isra, a dark witch, is learning more of her powers. She shields herself from the humans eyes so she can move about. She no longer believes in love. The quote I choose for Isra is: “No, I will not stop. I will not give my magic up. I will not surrender any power, no matter what ! But on a more humorous note, I am much better than what I used to be. I have control; I can do what I want. Like you said, you never asked for this job, so go back to your army of golden messengers and leave me be.”

Kane, a human, can see through the shield. He knows he shouldn’t seek her out, but he does. When he learns she’s not going to help him with what he wants; he knows he’s in for it. The quote I choose for Kane is: If I survive this, by God I will change my ways. I will be a better man. I will be the warrior my father wants me to be. I will be good. I will do good. But only if she doesn’t kill me first.

I highly recommend this for anyone who loves Fantasy. This will leave you on the edge of your seat wanting more.

The walls between us: A Borderland Love Story is a historical love story seen through the utter devastation of a drug war.

The story was well written and engaging until the very end, the main two characters are brilliant and the way the author goes through the different cultures and stereotypes which are still in the fore thought today.

This is not normally the type of genre I read but reading the blurb and I instantly felt drawn to this story, the story delves into the world of drug cartels and the horrendous conditions. The story is told through the two main characters who have their own beliefs and opinions which is a great insight to these people’s lives.

If you’re looking for a thought provoking story with a great emotional rollercoaster this is the story for you. I really enjoyed and was drawn in from the first word to the last.

The book Deception by Victoria Saccenti is a story that I enjoyed reading. It is a book that pulled me in from the beginning and I found myself not wanting to put it down until the final page. It is a story that includes revenge and love. I loved reading about the characters of Joe and Hunter. Joe is a man who is set on revenge because of the suicide of a teammate. Hunter is his target. He starts down a carefully laid path. What would happen if in the process other emotions and feelings begin to form? Hunter is a woman who finds herself drawn to Joe. He is unlike those who have come before. What does the future hold for Joe and Hunter? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me turning pages to find out what happens next. It is written in such a way the I felt like I was right there with the characters. I enjoyed reading about the bantering back and forth between Hunter and Joe. This book does have very steamy scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. I also enjoyed reading about Hunter’s best friend who is always there to help her. I liked that Hunter’s character is strong and intelligent. She has goals set for herself and is determined to achieve them. Don’t miss out on a story that is intriguing and entertaining. I highly recommend reading it.

It could be that I am losing something in translation as I’m not a native as I live on an island, so the issues faced aren’t any that I come across. Don’t let my words put you off, if this sounds like an interesting story do pick it up as it is well written for the most, I do think it’s my situational knowledge that let me down.

This story is about a witch who gets revenge on a selfish man. It had a very fairytale vibe to it. The thing that I liked the most about the book is that the main character was a villain. Unfortunately, the characters were flat. Had they had more depth maybe I would have enjoyed it more. I found the story slow and quite repetitive. The witch constantly said how bad she was and how dark her soul was. The narrative felt like it was someone reading a story to a child.

When I first read the blurb for this story I was really intrigued, the author is new to me and whilst I will admit the cover isn’t one of the best I’ve seen I know not to take any notice of them and I am so glad I did. The story was beautifully written, the descriptive detail throughout was one of my favourite things about this book. I felt like I was really transported into the lives and worlds of these characters. The characters were well throughout and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about them. There was so much going on in the story that I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough to see what was going to happen. Even after finishing the story I was still thinking about what I had read and in my opinions it means that it was a really great read! I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

The Abduction of Sarah Tarbell: As Her Soul Remembers by Stuart Ledwith

This is the first book I’ve read by Ledwith and I’ve got to say be ready for tissues. Ledwith knows how to capture your attention from the first line and let’s you go at the end.

This story follows Sarah Tarbell through her abduction and that of her brothers. They travel long and far to be brought to another territory. What will happen to the three of them?

Sarah tells her story through Ledwith and it’s very captivating. Sarah recalls what happens to her and it’s an emotional ride. She doesn’t think her God talks anymore, but she learns soon that she can do it on her own. The quote I choose for Sarah is: “I must go from here as I came here. I will not love another man, ever, mark my words. If ever you find you want me, just call out my name and I will answer you.”

I highly recommend this for anyone who loves a good book. A very emotional ride, but one you’ll appreciate. The things you learn and read is hard to accept when it’s never happened to you.
