Finding Leda; the Science of Happiness (Italian College Novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman – Review by Kayla Interdonato

Finding Leda, the Science of Happiness (The Italian Saga #5)Finding Leda, the Science of Happiness by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness (Italian College novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman is another wonderfully written novel. As with her other novels, this one flowed right from the last novel, but can be read on it’s own as well. I love how the author is able to pack such raw, beautiful, and real emotions into her characters. While reading this story I couldn’t help but think back to my own college days as I read of Leda’s college experience. There are so many ways I could relate to Leda, through her uncertainties, her willingness to find happiness, her drive to succeed in college, her unsure love life. It was such a beautiful story to read and I look forward to reading more books by this author and in this series.

Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland – Review by Erin Wolf

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I give Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland, 4 stars.
**This review may contain spoilers from book 1.**

This is the second book in the YA dystopian series. It picks up where book one left off and is full of adventure, action, heartbreak, and basically just learning to survive. Yes there is a main goal and they are working towards it, but in this new world, everything takes time. The timing of this book being released right now makes it feel all the more like this could really happen. It brings things into a perspective I did not have when I read book one.

A very well-written story, this book pulls you right in and is interesting from beginning to end. There is so much going on in this book. The characters are great too. You have ones that are back from book one, as well as new characters you will come to love.

Since this continues the story from book one, I do recommend reading the first book before you delve into this one. However, this is a great dystopian story and I definitely recommend both books.

TorchTorch by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Torch is a post-apocalyptic/Sci-Fi read from author Tricia Copeland. This is my second read from this author and once again She has created another captivating and imaginative read that is easy to read and flows from chapter to chapter.
This author writing style makes this read so real and realistic I felt as though I was entwined within the story, and it was made believable in a way that made you stop and think.

This book is filled with action, adventure and danger. It’s suspenseful and thrilling and keeps you guessing. The characters that Tricia Copeland has created are relatable, and you can connect with them on many levels throughout the read. The journey Jema and Troy make again in this read pushes what we already saw in Book 1 to the next level, this book has you on the edge of your seat along wondering what really will happen next. Tricia Copeland has left us wondering again with this ending and has left us wanting more! I can’t wait to see where our next story takes us. I highly recommend this read!

Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland – Review by Anantha Rusum

TorchTorch by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This young adult dystopian novel is a fast paced read, second in the lovelock series and is heavily action based. 16 year old Jema along with her friends is faced with an almost impossible task to save the world, against a deadly virus. Her sinister uncle, who rules the government is against releasing the cure for this lethal contagion. So, in the middle of the desert, with limited resources, she has to battle against time to get the cure out. She and her friends are branded as traitors and are on the chase.
The most interesting part about this book is that we can relate it to what is happening around us now with the pandemic around us. The virus is up on the rise and if the cure is not found, the whole world is at risk. Rings a very familiar bell right? I enjoyed reading this page turner.
The only thing I thought was that the plot is so heavily action packed and dialogue oriented, there is a very little description of the setting of the story itself. The reader doesn’t miss it in the midst of all the action, but it would have been more interesting to read when more attention is paid to the little details around the setting, which most authors do, to enhance the beauty of the story.

And The River Runs Deep: The Cold Case Murder Mystery of Leah Marcus
By A.J. Ullman
5 out of 5 stars

The story And The River Runs Deep: The Cold Case Murder Mystery of Leah Marcus by A.J. Ullman is a book that is very powerful and moving. It is a story about the murder of Leah Marcus, the investigation into her death, and how Damon Allbright, Leah’s boyfriend was tried for the offense. The crime reporter who worked for the Cincinnati Tribune at the time of the murder ten years later decides to re-investigate. The story is very well written and does a wonderful job of laying out what the investigation found and when Damon was tried. Leah’s murder occurred at a time of racial strife and the investigation brings up the subject of race and class. Once I started this book, I just couldn’t put it down. It pulled me in and didn’t let me go until the final page. The story explores and dives into the lives of the two families affected by the tragedy. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down while reading and trying to determine just what had happened. It is a book that I would recommend reading.

This is my first book by this author, I loved it from beginning to end. It is a well developed story that took me back to a time where races were at odds. The author’s attention to detail made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. I had no problems connecting with the characters and the emotions that they made me feel. Leah is a young adult that was found brutally murdered. Her boyfriend was a young African American male whose DNA was found on her. He was tried for her murder. Years later a crime reporter wants to get to the bottle of this murder and learn the truth. Will they find justice for Leah? Two families, racial odds, and one senseless murder. You don’t want to miss this one! I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This picks up after the third book and continues the story of Leda and her adventures in young love and growing up as a teenager. I love that although it’s written about teenagers, it’s not written as young adult fiction. It’s really relatable, and the two male main characters, Nico and Ange, are well-developed. Even though sometimes the story seems slightly dramatic, it never goes too far and it’s an enjoyable read.

TorchTorch by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a continuation from the last book. Troy and Jema are living off the grid, trying to survive. I loved that part of the book. Seeing what they did at their location to survive. The story surprised me at times and others it seemed in limbo. The characters are intriguing. I mean Troy and Jema are very smart and ingenious. They impress me with their maturity. When other people are added to the mix they take Troy and Jema at age value. They are always surprised when they realize what Troy and Jema can and will do to survive. I do enjoy all the coded messages, whistles and sign language among others that they use for communication. That was very cool!

Overall I didn’t love this (I really wanted to because book 1 impressed me so much). Among the action and drama there were too many lull times. I know some are expected but I was almost to the point of flipping pages during that time. The character building is good although I didn’t see much growth in the two main characters (secondary characters-yes). The world created was still great. Very different to think of the US that way. That ending??? It just blew me away! I was surprised and shocked!

Torch is the second book in the Lovelock series by Tricia Copeland. I freaking loved this YA/ Dystopian, from the first page till the very last .

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! What an emotional roller coaster! Hawk’s Cry is book number 2 in the Satan’s Devils MC – Next Generation Series by Manda Mellett. Eli aka Hawk is the Vice President of the Satan’s Devils Motorcycle Club. Olivia aka Ollie or Liv (only used by Eli) is Hawks wife. They have been brought up by birth together, so it was only inevitable that they were to get married. Though they were somewhat pushed together, this is definitely true love. That is until Hawk has some serious doubts about his life with the club and with his wife. Then with the blink of an eye…No club, No family and No Friends. What happens when all you’ve known is club life and it’s all been taken away and you finally become a citizen? This book shows a woman who fights for her baby, her marriage and her life. It also shows a man who struggles with a disease and is shown full blown support. With that support he starts the road to recovery. This book has lots of twists and turns that no one is expecting. Like I said before, this story is an emotional roller coaster that leads to a very happy ending. It is book number 2 but you can read as a standalone, which I always say don’t do. I haven’t read such a great story in such a long time!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lucifer’s Emblem: A Paranormal Academy Romance by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is the first book in the Celestial Academy series and is a paranormal book. This book follows Lucifer’s daughter Zuri and her quest to track down Lucifers Emblem that was stolen. This leads her to Celestial Academy where she must create a false identity to even enter. She meets Miryam the daughter of an archangel that has issues of her own. I loved these two and the connection they had. Can the two figures out who stole the emblem and its secrets? Can their bond get past the bad blood between the families? This book was an amazing read and one I highly recommend. Can’t wait to read more in this series.

I have read a couple of books from this author and she continues to blow my mind with her storytelling. I absolutely love a good fantasy read but she exceeded all my expectations. This is the second book to the supernatural intelligence agency. You do need to read the first book in order to understand what is going on. I was excited when I got this book. I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not stop so I read this book straight through.

Someone wants to steal the Seal of Solomon and Lilandra is called to make sure that doesn’t happen. She has to travel to Vancouver in order to protect the Seal. After her fateful mate’s death she is committed to her coven no matter the cost. Lilandra runs into a werewolf that what’s to make a deal with her for the Seal. He tells her that The Lady can bring back her mate if she gives him the Seal. Will Lilandra stay on her task or will temptation take over?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lucifer’s Emblem is an amazing start to an exciting series adventure you will not be able to put down. As soon as you finish this book, you will be begging for the second book in the series. With the use of dual perspectives throughout the book, the characters become painted so vividly that it is as if you are watching a movie, rather than reading a book.

In this book, you will get to follow a daring adventure as a Fallen child, Zuri, daughter of Lucifer, and Archangel child, Miryam, daughter of Michael, attempt to work together to prevent an Apocalypse after Lucifer’s Emblem is stolen. However, given their differences, it proves difficult for Zuri to trust Miryam. Can Zuri trust Miryam in time to save the world from an apocalypse? Will Miryam believe in herself enough to accomplish this victory? These are only a couple basic questions you will continuously ask until the very last page.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Torch is book two in the Lovelock Series and it was a good 4 star read.

Following book one in the series, we start with Jema and Troy who have fled to the middle of nowhere setting up a safe place to stay until they get word on their next move. The virus has returned and some high ranking people are fighting over it. When a group of their friends end up joining them, the adventure kicks in from here.

Will they be able to save humanity?

They have a goal to reach and they are determined to get it done. You get pulled in right from the beginning and we get lots of twists and turns. We get action, danger and so much more. Jema was a strong character and all the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I couldn’t help but think about current events while reading this and kind of freaking myself out slightly, LOL. Could we possibly be getting another book in the series? If you’re looking for a great read that will have you on the edge of your seat, 1-click and get started today.

I have read these authors before and I was really excited to read this the first book in a new series. I was not disappointed. I really found this book to be a great read. The characters are really brought to life as much as supernatural characters can be. I just love the angels and fallen theme to the book. I found that the idea of like a school setting was just an added bonus.

I really like how Miryam and Zuri become friends. I like the structure of the story and how the drama and romance is balanced out within it. I have always loved angel themed books and this is definitely one of my top ten. I will definitely be reading more from these authors in the future.

HIT AND RUN by Diane Hester. All I can say is WOW! I loved this book. I lost a night of sleep over it but it was sooo worth it! Its the story of Rainia Wilkins who is driving alone on a fall night in Maine when a man jumps in front of her car. She hits him and then he climbs into her car and forces her at gunpoint to drive to the airport. Before Rainia can even wrap her mind around what his happening he jumps back out of the car and runs into the woods again. What she doesn’t know is he left something very important in her car, something that he and others are willing to kill for. Thinking she will never see Alec Demarco again she goes on with her life but when he pops back up wanting what he left her life is turned upside down. Along with Alec and a a runaway teen she is forced to trust people she doesn’t know that she should and do things she wonders if she will get killed for. Not knowing who she can trust including the police Rainia is in for the fight of her life. This book is so amazing and I will jump at the chance to read another Diane Hester book!

Brittany has got to me one of my favourite characters that I have read for a long time. There was just that something about her that made me really connect with her. And Brooks seems to be just perfect for her – they both seemed to have the same kind of flawed about them.
The story is well written too. It has a little bit of everything in it to make it that unputdownable read. This series really does seem to get better with each book that is released. I can’t wait to see what the author does next.

Having read the previous book in this series and enjoying I was looking forward to this one and I wasn’t disappointed. The dystopian genre isn’t really one that I read but I found I was really able to get in to this story quite quickly. It was an interesting and intriguing read and with the world currently going through the situation we are the book is actually quite apt – maybe that’s why I felt like I could get into more as I was able to draw some parallels to real life possibly?!? Just hopefully not the vaccine part of the book!! The authors writing is great, she really drags you into the world that she has created and her descriptive language is great – really helps me as a reader build a picture of what I am reading. It was also nice to read a more plot driven story – I felt like I was really into what I was reading rather than thinking about the characters and their development.
Overall a good read, interesting storyline and I would definitely recommend it.

By Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk
4 Stars

I’ve always loved paranormal academy stories. This one is about angels and demons. Zuri is the daughter of a fallen angel and when a powerful relic is stolen, she goes in search of it. It leads her to Celestial Academy, a school for the children of angels. Forming an uneasy alliance with Miryam ( the daughter of Archangel Michael), they search for the culprit before the Apocalypse is unleashed. Will this tentative bond ease the bad blood between the Fallen and the Archangels?

I loved the characters in this novel. Each one was unique and likeable. Zuri is a strong lead who is smart and fearless. Miryam, being her opposite, needs to have faith in herself and learn where her strengths lie. I think they made a very good team. The secondary characters added an interesting aspect to the story as well. This is a good start to what I think will be an awesome series. Looking forward to seeing what their next adventure will be.

Lucifer’sEmblem is a funny young adult novel that can be enjoyed not only by kids, but by adults as well. Being a part of the story and watching the friendship of Zuri and Miry come together was enjoyable. I really liked the fact that Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk made the heroines different and unique as I think this will help young readers realize this it is okay to be different and unique. Lucifer’s Emblem was funny and had enough adventure to make it a good book to read. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Zuri, is Lucifer’s daughter. She has tracked her father’s Emblem, which happens to be his one defence against the Archangels that banished him from Heaven, to a thief at the Celestial Academy. However, as a chid of a fallen , Zuri will never be allowed entry to the school for the descendants of angels and saints.

But she comes up with a plan…… She dons a fake identity, which will lead her right into Miryam bat-Michael’s path. Miryam is the daughter of the Archangel Michael and she is far from perfect herself. Craving the love of her farther, as he is never there, therefore she is always seeking admiration and affection wherever she can find it. She will even throw in with Zuri, and she doesn’t fit in. An alliance blooms as the girls realise Lucifers emblem can unleash Armageddon and with Zuri’s blood, it can break the seal.

The only hope of averting the apocalypse and escaping death is for Zuri to trust Miryam, but is their growing bond strong enough to overcome an eternity of bad blood between Fallen and Archangels?

This is a brilliant angels and demons book, I really enjoy paranormal books and this one did not disappoint. The story flowed brilliantly and the characters was very well written, especially the relationship between Zuri and Damian, their friendship is wonderful. It gives a different take on good verses evil. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
Very much looking forward to the next instalment.

This is a great young adult story. And it is an amazing first book. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Zuri is the daughter of Lucifer. She lives a pretty boring life as the daughter of the leader of hell. All she has to do is learn the way to run hell so she can take over from her father. However she longs for adventure and she gets her wish when a special Emblem is stolen. This Emblem protect Lucifer from the Archangels and in the wrong hands it can cause trouble.
So Zuri follows the theif and finds herself on Earth at a school for saints and angels.

Miry is the daughter of Archangel Michael who is headmaster of the Celestial Academy. Nothing she does seems to make her dad proud of her so when a new student arrives asking for help to find a stolen part of history she jumps at the chance to help and hopefully gain her fathers pride.

Can the two girls work together to recover the Emblem and stop it being used for evil? Or will the gap between heaven and hell mean that the lack of trust makes this a lost cause?
