Center of Gravity (An Ice Tigers Hockey Romance Book 2) by Isabella Cassazza – Review by Lisa Helmick

Center of Gravity (Ice Tigers #2)Center of Gravity by Isabella Cassazza
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love this story! It is filled with wishes, lost hope and amazing characters. This really pulled me in from the beginning and I could arely put it down. Each page I flipped drew me more into the lives of these two. Matt, who feels relationships with women are a terrible idea since they only let you down. I am thrilled we got chapters with his thoughts and feelings otherwise I would have labeled him a emotional jerk. Then there is Emilia who feels like everything in her life she fails at. She tries very hard to do the right thing only to let others and herself down. She wants people to love and recognize her for herself not her famous name. These two have a one night stand expecting to never see each other again but the universe has other plans for them.

This story brought me chills of delight as well as goosebumps from the desperation. I enjoyed and *felt* Each characters as they worked their way through this tricky development. Secondary characters are wonderful and full. This makes me want to delve more into this hockey series.

This is my first book by this author. I am impressed with the flow and naturalness of the story and characters. I recommend this story for not just lovers of hockey themes but those who want a real story that goes along with it.

Bird in a Snare (The Lord Hani Mysteries #1)Bird in a Snare by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love the ups, downs, twists and turns this book brings the reader on through Hani’s eyes as an Egyptian diplomat. Prepare to have your boots knocked off with the mystery and intrigue of this suspenseful read. This book involves the best that mysteries have to offer including everything you can imagine. No matter how high this unfolds for him, he’s prepared to take down whoever or whatever is in his way. My heart raced reading every line of this book and where it would take Hani to solve the mysteries that were laid out before him.
This book has everything you could want in one of its caliber: Twists, turns, tragedies, great descriptions of Egypt including Syria, easy to read, fun to read, entertaining, and full of action. Excellent read!

Center of Gravity: A Standalone Friends-To-Lovers Sports Romance by Isabella Cassazza is the second book in the Ace Tigers Hockey Romance Series. This book is one of those that has such strong characters to it that the story is definitely all about them.
I loved Emilia and Matt. They were so interesting to read about. They had such a believable chemistry between them. I knew immediately that I wanted these to characters to find their happy ending because they just felt so right together.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I have to say I really enjoyed the writing style. The whole book had a really good pace about it. The story was great and the characters were just amazing. This is definitely a hit new series for me and I am excited to see what else this author has to offer!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m so glad that I picked up this read! This is my first read from this author and won’t be my last! While hockey isn’t a go-to sport I watch or even know about, 1 I thought I might learn about somethings, and 2 it’s a romance read and being a go-to favourite genre of mine I jumped at the chance. Being the second book in a series I thought I might lose the flow of the story and not know the characters but I had no problem connecting with the story or the characters. This read flowed brilliantly from start to finish and had me hooked from the start. I absolutely loved the characters I connected with them immediately and couldn’t wait to see these characters journey through the read. I can’t wait to read more from this author and see where she takes the rest of this series, but until then I’m going to go back and read Book 1 and dive into this authors world again!

Blessed: The Academy of Seraph by Brandi Elledge

5+++++++++ Stars
(This deserves so many more)

I’m sitting here staring at my screen speechless…Where do I begin?

This is my first book by Brandi Elledge, not sure why but it is, it will absolutely not be my last.

I won’t lie, I threw my kindle when i finished, I may or may not have also said a few curse words when it ended. When I was done I immediately pulled up everything I could find because I MUST have the next in this series, I was all ready to one click when I see it’s not even out yet. Throw in a few more curse words here.

This book was completely amazing..it had me reading till the yawns made it impossible to stay awake, then jumped back in needing to finish it, yet not wanting to because I didn’t want it to end. The flow of this story was complete and utter perfection…the genre is not one I normally choose, but the cover drew me in and some of the reviews had me too curious to pass it up. I usually get lost or lose interest but not this time. The dialogue throughout the entire story was so enjoyable and even though a few of my suspicions were spot on it did not matter, there were still some things I’d have never guessed.

There is no doubt in my mind that Remy has been added to one of my favorite supporting characters ever! “Bless her sweet ghostly heart” Then there’s Finn *insert huge sigh here* and this author transported me into the story and I felt like I was on Gabriella’s journey with her! This book was full of absolutely everything I love about reading. Finding a new author, falling in love with a book from a genre I usually struggle with, absolutely everything!

I usually make myself notes so that I can catch myself up before the next book in a series comes out…Im not doing that this time, this time I will just read it again, and probably again!

PHENOMENAL STORY!!! Many many thanks to this author, and please please please I truly must have the next as soon as possible!

Boundaries (Scope of Practice Book 1) by Jessica Aiken-Hall – Review by Naomi McDonald

Boundaries (Scope of Practice, #1)Boundaries by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Boundaries is the first book in the Scope of Practice series. The main story line wraps up, but the ending does leave room for more in the following book.

The way the main character, Valerie is described at the beginning of the book made me relate to her almost immediately. The way she keeps to herself, doesn’t like the unknown, can’t seem to keep up with time, and her feeling of being awkward are all things that I can relate to very much.

The way the author has written the story, you don’t know Valerie’s past right away. Because I related to her so much in the beginning, I had to keep reading to find out what her story was.

Boundaries is full of mystery and intrigue. At times it can be heavy on the emotions. And, there are some interesting twists that keep you turning the pages.

Overall, a good read. I look forward to seeing where Valerie’s journey takes her in the next book.

Note for sensitive readers – there are potential triggers in this book.

Bird in a Snare (The Lord Hani Mysteries #1)Bird in a Snare by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is an amazing adventure set in Anciet Egyptian times. The author has described the places and people in such detail that you can imagine them as of they actually existed.

It is a great murder mystery. When a high profiled bandit is assassinated, Hani is sent to find out who is responsible.
With their kings declining health and rumours of his son’s reign not being as peaceful a time as they are currently living in could this murder be related to the future Kings plans or did the victim cause trouble with another member of another area of the land?

Its a great read which keeps you turning the pages. The story takes a little while to get into due to the characters and how they relate to each other but once you get that it grips you until the end.

In the Arms of Morpheus: A Speculative Romance (Antiheroes Book 2)In the Arms of Morpheus: A Speculative Romance by Gaia B Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the Arms of Morpheus: A Speculative Romance (Antiheroes Book 2) by Gaia B. Amman is a thought provoking and mysterious read. It is an interesting, gripping and original tale that has sci fi aspects to it. The story is well written, and it is easy to be drawn to these complex characters. As usual with Gaia’s stories there is a lot more to the characters and the story that she slowly reveals like peeling back an onion. She is also not one for shying away from taboo topics, sensitive topics and issues and she doesn’t disappoint in this story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bird in a Snare (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 1) by N.L. Holmes is a historical cosy mystery set in ancient Egyptian times where NL takes us on a journey where there is a dark, deadly and sinister plot. She paints a vivid world and her writing invites you into the storyline. Having said that the story did start out a little slow and I also found myself wandering and skipping things to move it along at times and having to go back and reread somethings. NL’s passion for the subject matter is clear within her writing and this is not just a story it is also a lesson on 13th century Egypt.

The Widow by Rebecca E. McEwen and Naomi Valkyrie was a great novel! I highly enjoyed reading this book. It was a quick, very enthralling read. I could hardly put this book down when I started. I loved the characters and the plot line and storyline, and it was so much like two different times in history converged into one while I was reading this story. That was very interesting, in a way I’ve never read a book like that before. This is the first book I’ve read by McEwen, but not by Valkyrie, and so far it’s been my favorite! Kudos on this great read!

My head is still going over everything that happened in the story and it is that good. Just because it is marketed as YA does not mean adults cannot enjoy it. This story had ups and downs, twists and turns, and secrets around every corner. I personally could not put the book down until I read the last word. The plotline is engaging and the description of the surroundings you are in at that moment gives you the sense of being right beside the characters. Gabriella is “Blessed” and has to attend The Academy of Seraph. She was lied to about who Blessed her for her own safety. Will Gabriella found out the truth? Who else will find out about those who have Blessed her? Is she in danger? You will have to read the story to find out the answers.

Sometimes you pick up a book not knowing what to expect and it completely takes your breath away and this is exactly what happened with this story by Ms Elledge. I like YA books because find them nice and easy to follow and they always seems to have a good storyline that’s not overly complicated and it’s always nice to just pick up a book and get lost in what you’re reading for a while. This is exactly what happened to me in this book – in fact I got even more than I anticipated! The storyline was deep and the authors’ writing was beautifully detailed. I loved the characters, especially Gabriella! I was completely captivated by this fantasy world of angels, demons and so much more! I was definitely kept on the edge of my seat that’s for sure and I cannot wait for the next book to find out what happens!

The Slaughter of Leith HallThe Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham is a historical mystery story that any history lover can appreciate! If you love Scotland and if you know even a bit of the great historical events of that beautiful country then for sure this book is for you! It was my first read by this writer and I have to say that I had not really read the genre either before so it was a great surprise! I chose to pick up the book because I love Scotland and I love history and … nothing else to add!
The story takes place not long after Culloden and Jacobites are still going strong though they lost so many of theirs. We meet a young man called Charlie Rob who finds himself on a journey under the guidance of John Leith of Leith Hall. It is a journey filled with twist that is always part of searching for justice and truth! He ends in a middle of a mystery murder case and he will all to find out the truth.
I have to say that I am used to having a romance always peppered through most of the stories I read, historical or not (I am a great fan of Outlander series and I think that says it all when it comes to historicals) and in some ways it was a fresh breath of wind to read something that was so interwoven with the history I know of and just have a young man looking for an answer and truth!

The mystery continues

Confidentiality by Jessica Aiken-Hall is a great continuation of her first book, Boundaries. You really must read the first one before this one.

There are so many interesting characters and situations in this series, you will want to keep reading to see what happens. Valarie (Val) Williamson and her trauma group has opened up life in a way Val never expected. Not only do they seem to have a lot in common but their bond gets stronger as they learn to support and trust one another. Add in Val’s hunk of a boyfriend Tim, the detective, and you have the perfect cast of characters to keep things interesting.

I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this mystery series.

Confidentiality is the 2nd Scope of Practice book by Jessica Aiken-Hall. It picks up right where Boundaries left off. It cannot be read as a stand alone, as it is a continuation of the story. This book was very well written, even if I did figure it out about halfway through. I still like the characters and the theme of the book. It is told from Val’s point of view and I like that it shares her thoughts and feelings, struggles, and love for her family and friends. Val has always kept to herself, shielding herself from being hurt. But now she is surrounded by close friends, has her Gram and her son back in her lift, and is engaged to Tim. There is now a serial killer in town, and Tim is investigating. But Val isn’t scared, but wants to find out who the killer is. There are too many connections, and she thinks she has figured it out. She was close, but not quite there. I don’t want to give it away, but I think this book (and series) is worth reading. I hope there is a 3rd book, because I want to know what happens next!

Confidentiality (Scope of Practice Book 2) by Jessica Aiken-Hall, is like a mystery story told in segments. Its hard to hear the stories of these girls without being sympathetic. Especially if you are a survivor of domestic abuse. I know I planned at least a hundred murders in the 20 years of my bondage. Because bondage it is. The ongoing introspection of Val echoes some of my own. Its hard, really hard not to want her vigilante justice. The darker rooms of our mind will go there. I guess that’s what books are for. That other world. This is a good book to read even if you have never been a victim. A little insight into what makes us tick it does a body good.

This is one that you do not want to miss. Whether you love paranormal romance or just some paranormal fantasy read, this is the book for your. Dare Me drew me in as a new reader of Felicity Brandon and I am chomping at the bit to get my hands on more of her stuff as soon as possible after devouring Dare Me. This was a novel that solely drew me in with the fabulous and bright cover. It almost beckoned me into this deep dark world that I didn’t even know what to expect. I was such a fan of how this book reads. I felt as if I was up close and personal there as things unfolded, and I could almost swear these are real characters the way the author develops and shares them with the reader. This book has so many twists and turns too that it is hard to not read it sitting on the edge of your seat and trying to predict what could possibly come next.

With Raif being our main male character, and a demon, we find him following and enjoying the misery of Sara, the woman he is bound to make his in the underworld. Sara is struggling to keep her head above water with the tragedy that is her life and the way these two end up flowing into one another is something worth marveling at. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next installment and I will definitely be checking out her other works as soon as I finish this review… I am already dying of a book hangover.

This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Brandon. She is an excellent writer. Her attention to detail is amazing. I was completely immersed in her world and felt what Sara was going through. This is a dark., hypnotizing romance. It is not for the feint of heart or anyone who is too sensitive. The story is filled with lust, possession and carnal pleasure. Evil lurks within these pages but will you be tempted when offered your heart’s deepest desires? Is it taboo when everything is consensual? The heat was burning up the pages as I read. If you are looking for something to spice up your night then I definitely recommend reading this book.

Bird in a Snare (The Lord Hani Mysteries)Bird in a Snare by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bird in a Snare by N.L. Holmes is the first book in The Lord Hani Mysteries series. During the days of Amenhotep III and IV in Egypt, Lord Hani is out to solve a crime. The crime seems simple, but Lord Hani has to go around new reforms, intrigue, and mystery. Will he find the murderer and solve the crime? This is a really interesting story set in a complex period of Egyptian history. There is a lot of attention to detail and the detail helped me dive into the story. I enjoy historical fiction and a good mystery and this combines both. Lord Hani is a great character and I look forward to more mysteries with him. He has many hats and roles to play and always pulls it off. He could go head to head with some of literatures other great detectives. I look forward to reading more in this series and from this author in the future.

Wow what more can I say. This is the first book y this author I have read and it is also the first book in this series. I was totally hooked by the book description and then I started reading I just couldn’t put the book down. The author has a refreshing context and plot. The characters even though are fantasy just jump off of the page.

I found that Raif and Sara were very unique and different characters but the chemistry well it’s hot pardon the pun. I know that this is quite a unique take on demons. I found that I really could relate to Sara. I really found that the author had an original idea and a very very good descriptive writing style that really just hooks the reader. I really cannot wait to read more from this series in the future.

Confidentiality is book 2 in the Scope of Practice series by Jessica Aiken-Hall.
This is a continuation of book 1, so if you haven’t read it you definitely need to go back and start with the first book “Boundaries”. As with most collections I enjoy the books more and more and they go on and I get to know the characters better, this was no exception.

The story starts back with Valerie, her past is no longer a secret and I loved seeing her relationship with Tim continue to grow. Her days of isolation are becoming a memory and she has a chance at living the life she craves.
Of course, all is not rosy. The story takes a dark turn as a serial killer is on the loose. Tim and Valerie are tested as the mystery deepens.
I really enjoyed this next instalment. The story is fast paced, and obviously dark at times. There is some light relief along the way though, and some surprises thrown in to keep you guessing. I really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to book 3.
