The Divided Twin (The Divided Series #2) by M Billiter with Kyle Thomas

This is the second book of The Divided Series and I’ve got to say that I love this. They do amazing work and I couldn’t put this down.

Branson, twin #1, is still hearing voices, but it’s not Trevor who makes another appearance. He’s now in college and is about done. The quote I choose for Branson is: “And I’m sure they don’t battle with multiple voices competing with each other for top spot.”

Aaron, twin #2, worries about his brother. Aaron and Branson have never been separated, but college is different. While he’s no longer in his home state doesn’t mean he’s lost interest. The quote I choose for Aaron is: “When my mom first got sick, I planted a jasmine tree outside her bedroom window in Casper. I wanted her to wake up or go to bed with the smell of jasmine. It’s not too much or not enough but just the right amount.”

I highly recommend you read A Divided Mind before this. This book was written amazingly and I couldn’t put it down. M. Billiter can put words down like no other. I can’t wait for the next read by her.

A Divided Mind (The Divided Series #1) by M. Billiter

My first read by the author as well as the first book in The Divided Series. This book had me in tears and I couldn’t put it down. This was a great read and a great page turner.

Tara, a mother of 4, finds out that one of her oldest is not doing good. She doesn’t understand what is going on and how to help him. She thinks she did something wrong. The quote I choose for Tara is: “Just more appointments for Branson. More doctors. More uncertainty. Less hope.”

Branson, son of Tara, has got something wrong. Voices. Things normal teens don’t get. He’s lived with it for so long he doesn’t understand what’s going on. Doctors. The quote I choose for Branson is: “One minute I was asleep at my girlfriend’s house, and the next thing I know I was on the side of the road with someone else’s car, a cop thinking I was drunk, and my girlfriend and this dude bailing me out. I swear I’m not lying. I don’t remember how I got into the car or nothing.”

This was an emotional read so grab a box of tissues. I do highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a page turner.

The Widow: A Dark Romantic FantasyThe Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Widow is a great romantic fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen. I had never read any work by either of these authors so took a leap of faith in choosing to read this book. I’m so glad I took the plunge as I really enjoyed this story. It’s not a very long story and I was able to devour the whole book in 1 sitting.
The heroine of this story is Vashti who is getting over the death of her husband the previous year. She decides to take in a ‘roommate’ of sorts in Absalom. This book is their story.
This book is far from a traditional romance as Vashti and Absalom’s romance is far from traditional. I absolutely loved both of these characters. Vashti is rather eccentric and dresses as though she lives in the Victorian times and does not care what anyone else thinks of her. She is such a strong and vibrant character. I also loved Absalom, he’s such a sweet guy and has had such a hard time.
I loved how these two writers write so descriptively. You are given very detailed descriptions of each location and you can easily picture them in your head. I’d definitely love to read more by these authors.

After finishing the first book in this series I was eagerly awaiting the second and was so glad I didn’t have to wait long! I completely devoured this book in one sitting and was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I didn’t know what to expect after book 1 but I can honestly say that the authors writing continued to be amazing throughout the second book too. I was looking forward to see how Val was doing in her life and how she was doing with her dream of normality but I should have known to expect some great twists and turns and my gosh there were definitely plenty of those in this gripping story!
The story was full of action and a storyline that kept me guessing throughout! A fantastic second novel in this series and one that I highly recommend! This is definitely an author I am going to be looking out for!!

Family traditions

I really enjoyed reading Breaking Traditions: The Shifter and The Mage by Madilynn Dale. Natalie, a shifter, is just starting college, getting to know her roommate, and getting used to living in a dorm. She broke off a long term relationship with her ex before college. Early in the semester Natalie meets Alex, a mage, and feels a connection to him she has never experienced before.

Natalie’s family has always followed their shifter traditions. Although Natalie understands her parents expectations, she feels pulled to be an independent woman with different views. A wonderful coming of age type story I couldn’t put down.

Amman always creates a thought provoking work and this book is certainly no exception. A work of fiction filled with a romantic element, with a touch of fantasy and science fiction thrown in for good measure. This work will leave you engaged and intrigued by the tale that is woven. The human dynamic is never shied away from and I love the way Amman is able to create interesting personal development and relationships. A very good book and one I will recommend to others gladly.

This history buff has been looking for this book and didn’t even know it. Holmes does a beautiful job weaving an intricate tale of suspense, family, and sets it against the beautiful backdrop of ancient Egypt. The characters are wonderfully developed and I really appreciated the depth of relationships explored, familial versus social. Wonderfully vivid book that captured my imagination and heart. I cannot wait to read more!

Bird in a Snare by N.L. Holmes a four-star read that will hook you. This is number one in the Lord Hani Mysteries series and will ensure you want more and more. I am not a big fan of historical stories but love a good cosy mystery and this one just surprised me. It was detailed and encompassing, I felt like I was reading the story and enjoying it rather than being taught history as I read the story. There is a lot going on in this story and a lot to keep track of, but if you can keep it all together you will enjoy this story, that’s the only reason I gave it four-stars as I did get a little lost at times. Overall if you like a good mystery that will keep you hooked the pick this one up.

The Divided TwinThe Divided Twin by M. Billiter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When the voice in your head seems so real that it forces you to do things that may hurt other people what do you do?

Aaron and Branson are identical twins in there last year of college, they decided to go to seperate colleges but their bond has never been stronger until someone decides that they need to come between these two brothers.

In the first book we discovered that Branson suffered with mental health issues which rocked all there worlds but this book delves into the world of Aaron. With the realisation that Aaron also suffers from a mental health issue but not the same as his brother.

The book follows each of the main characters within their own chapters but to be honest I did get a bit lost to which mind or story I was reading, this did not distract from the story but just made me work that little bit harder to discover the character. I would recommend reading the first book in this series to lay some of the groundwork you will need further on in the book.

I have to admit the first half of the book was okay but I carried on and was blown away by the last few chapters in the book which certainly revealed so twist and turners to the whole story.

This is a psychological thriller which touch some subject matter is can be uncomfortable to read but the story has been well planned and written. This is an original storyline which will have you pondering the subject matter regarding mental illnesses.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Slaughter of Leith Hall is a well woven historical murder mystery by Lexie Conyngham. It took me a little bit to get into the story and get my head around the period language/speak that is in keeping with the times, but was somewhat heavy, time consuming, and confusing to read. The story was slow to get going and lagged a little at times throughout the book- but the mystery was quite intriguing and I did feel compelled to finish the story so I could find out how everything played out in the end.

Thank you, Lexie Conyngham!

A fantasy story woven around angels, demons, demis, immortals and magic, this book hooks the reader right from the first page. Many years ago, when a plague was causing human population to die, 15 archangels, who were not supposed to interfere, broke the law and saved few humans. These humans were considered blessed and possess special powers. Over centuries, as the bloodline progressed from one generation to another, the descendants still possessed certain special powers.
Hence, in the current world, it was mandatory that each human is tested whether they are blessed or not, at the age of 16.
One such blessed girl, Gabriella, despite being blessed, detests her super powers.
She is sent to one of the academies where the officials soon find out that she is blessed. Despising her situation, against her wishes, she agrees to get trained. she becomes an object of interest to her commanding officer. She makes few friends and many enemies in and outside the academy. As fate would have it, she finds herself in a pivotal position in an upcoming war as she tries to trace her own lineage.
It is a very fast paced book, with funny and interesting characters. I enjoyed it. I felt that the ending should have been more conclusive. But overall, a very enjoyable read.

I enjoyed this friends to lovers sports romance. I thought it was sweet and funny and the author pulled me in with her good writing. The main characters in this story have a very hard lesson to learn.. Our actions have consequences. Even if the choice was an amazing one at the time, the outcome can be something that will change their lives forever. Emilia and Matt learn this the hard way but i loved their story and they were such awesome characters. The chemistry between them is spicy and i was eager to see if they would get their HEA. You do not want to miss this one!
This is the first book that i have read by this author and i am looking forward to reading more by her in the future!
Happy Reading!

This story is a romance but so much more. There is a mythological science-fiction feel to the story. Once I started reading the book, I did not realize how personally involved I would become in this story. The story is thought-provoking because of the different elements. The characters are complex and complicated and make the story fun. Tasha and Josh have a relationship that goes and back and forth. There is drama, danger, chemistry, and suspense which makes this story interesting and a fun read. The story moves fast and keeps getting more interesting as it moves along. I will warn you to read between the lines to add depths to the story. I highly recommend this story for you to see what happens between Tash and Josh.

Bird In A Snare (Lord Hani Mystery #1) by N.L. Holmes

This is the first book I’ve read by Mrs. Holmes and what a read it was. This was a phenomenal read and I can’t wait for the next installment of the series. The characters are so real and it’s hard to put down.

Amen-hotep aka Hani is a diplomat and travels. He travels to find a friend who has been murdered. Things aren’t going well at home and things aren’t going well in the investigation. The quote I choose for Hani is: “Nub-nefer, my love, you must have trust. Trust in our good king, who is devoted to the Hidden One, his father. Look at how he’s built temples to his honor and remade the Southern Ipet temple completely. I can only repeat: he would never permit his son to do anything impious. You must believe that.”

Amen-mose aka Maya, Hani’s scribe, is taken along the journey with his employer. Maya wouldn’t be where he is if not for Hani and feels he owes him. He goes without complaint and finds that there’s something amiss. The quote I choose for Maya is: “Osir protect us! What an abomination! What sort of pervert would stoop to such a thing, Lord Hani?”

This is the first book of the genre that I’ve read and I can’t wait for more. Holmes knows how to catch a reader’s attention and keep it. It was hard to put this book down.

I am so glad that Gabriella made two really good friends because she needs people on her side especially since she didn’t really have anybody growing up in foster makes it hard to get close to anyone.

This is the first book that I have read from this author and wow she now has a new fan. I normally don’t read young adults books but I’m so glad I did. I fell in love with the cover and then the amazing characters in this story. This is the first book of the Academy of Seraph. This book was a perfect way to start an addictive series. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a full day to devour this amazing story. I can’t wait and see what is next for these unforgettable characters.

Gabriela is not your normal seventeen year old. She was blessed by the angles and gave her some powers that she doesn’t even know how strong they are. Gabriela gets thrown into a new world that she doesn’t want to be in. She is now one of the students in the school for the gifted called the The Seraph Academy. Gabriela feels like she doesn’t belong but she quickly finds out that she is the best. She is shocked when she meets the commander of the school. He makes her feel things that she should not be feeling yet. Gabriela finally makes some friends but are they really her friends? Will Gabriela find out her true power or will someone want to take it from her?

TWO HEARTS UNSPOKEN TARGETS (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 11) by Tamara Ferguson

Like all of the stories I have read by Ms. Ferguson this is a sweet, heartfelt love story. There is also a mystery about Zach’s past.

The love between Elizabeth and her son Kyle is just so tender as is the love between Elizabeth and Zach. Don’t even get me started with the relationship between Zach and Kyle.

I was a single Mom at one point and always made sure to put my daughter first and any guy I dated knew that. Elizabeth was the same way, her son came first no matter what, though her circumstances are very different from what mine were.

I loved Zach’s family and hope we see his cousin again soon. Think he would be a good addition to the group.

I devoured this book and was disappointed when I finished it. I love how we get a chance to see previous couples and see how their lives are going. Looking forward to read the next in this series.

This is a romantic story, filled with fantasy and an unbelievable darkside. Can I give 5 ☆s to each author? It was that good!

You will meet Vashti, Absalon and Simeon. Vashti is a new widow, Absalom has a cheating girlfriend, and Simeon, who is friends with Absalon. All 3 are strong and drawn to each other. Enter the Mansion, where friendships grow and fantasy turns real. Sorry, not sorry. No spoilers!

Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E.McEwen have written this story. It has a little bit of history. A whole lot of dark romance. This book will draw you in and keep you there, until the last page is read. I love the characters, you can’t help it though. I have read Naomi Valkyrie’s writings, but Rebecca E. McEwen is new to me. You can bet I will be looking for more!

I would like to start by saying that I LOVE LOVE LOVE a book that leaves me guessing the ENTIRE time and actually surprises me. I read a lot of crime novels and there is nothing worse than knowing “whodunnit” on page 5 and being right the entire book. Jessica Aiken Hall did an amazing job with that in Confidentiality (Scope of Practice Book 2). You are left guessing and if you think you have it figured out, you are very likely wrong. Valerie’s life is finally coming together. She has great friends, a great fiance, her support group is going amazingly…all until a serial killer pops up. Her need to protect will put her in danger. Will she figure out what is going on and how it is all tied together? Jessica Aiken Hall does a great job sensitively touching on difficult subjects and also writing in some great banter with Val and her fiance Tim. All in all, I highly recommend this book.

This book drew me in because I could relate to the character, Vashti’s pain of growing weary of the world around her of loneliness and grief. No, I’m not a widow but I’ve been there where I’ve experienced both emotions but I loved where this book took the reader. The lives of the main two characters are disrupted with the entrance of another character who brings drama into their fold and their privacy is shifted but also to where it leads to unexpected changes that force their lives to take on drastically as it all unfolds. I hope this is the start of a series because the mystery captured my attention because you wanted to know more. The suspense kept me tuned in till the end to read it.

This is my first time reading something by Isabella Cassazza and I am so going back for more after I finish this review. This book was a perfect read for a rainy day. It has the slow burn romance with a sports theme and hot men and fun fashion to boot. Throw in babies and I pretty much am in heaven.

In Center of Gravity we find Emilia struggling to please and make her grandfather proud. Something that is even more crucial given his financial and social status. Things seem to take a turn for the worse when Emilia finds herself pregnant and being sent to America to manage the hockey team that her grandfather just met. She is hoping this might just be the start over moment she needed but when she gets there she discovers that the one night of fun that left her pregnant is actually a player on the team! The build up to the finale of the book was so perfect and written with a flow that had me engrossed to find out what would happen between these two. I can’t say enough good things about this read!

Boundaries (Scope of Practice, #1)Boundaries by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boundaries (Scope of Practice Book 1) By Jessica Aiken-Hall is a book that will suck any reader who likes a good mystery right in. I thought that the story line was great. It could have built up a little bit quicker, but at the same time, I would be afraid something else would have gotten lost if it did. My favorite thing about this book is definitely how relatable the main character, Valarie is. (For me at least) She is anti-social, but she is still out there in the world doing what she needs to do and even investigating a murder! The relationship that the author shows between Valarie and the detective she works with is also great. All in all, this book is definitely worth reading. It it hard to say too much without giving away too much, and it is so interesting to learn about Valerie’s past as you go. Definitely part of the intrigue. I would highly recommend this as a 5 star read!

I was pretty excited to sit down and read The Widow, and I had high expectations. The best news is they were all met well beyond what I could have ever wanted. This is such a great short dark romance that I found myself engrossed from page one until the very last well into the night when I should have been in bed. The lack of sleep hangover the next day was so incredibly worth it though. I am anxious to see if we will get more dark romances from Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E McEwen in the future because I think these two have found quite a niche here. The concept was a bit different and new so the story was fresh and I never found myself bored. We meet Vashti as she is a widow who thinks she is ready to find love again. When she begins things with Absalom you wonder if things will be smooth sailing and do get off to a nice start. When a friend comes into play and stirs up trouble for the couple things get super interesting. I loved this book and I can’t’ wait to get my hands on more!

Love always prevails as they attempt to help one another heal not only from life’s circumstances for them but this couple manages to overcome it to not only become better people but a better couple as well.
What’s not only entertaining but also inspiring is how well it’s written but the wonderful characters are the way they come together for one another almost at the perfect time in their lives. This is a happily-ever-after love story that’s easy to read and a great page turner.

This is one of the best paranormal fantasy reads I’ve read in awhile. Gabriella is what makes this book one of the best because as you get compelled further into the story, you see what all she’s battling and you quickly find out why she’s “blessed” by powers that are higher than who she is. As Gabriella is ready to escape her destiny at the academy, a handsome commander is keeping her interest. The truth is, she knows how important it is to hide her identity and what she possesses to protect herself from the fallen angels. Pick up this book and the first of an amazing series I’m hoping to read the rest of. Great book!
