Hawk's Cry (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #2)Hawk’s Cry by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hawk’s Cry by Manda Mellett is book two of the Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation series. As usual, Manda Mellett wasn’t pulling any punches with this book.

Eli, on the surface, seems to have it all. His wife is expecting their first baby, he’s got his friends and his role as VP of the club. What no one realizes is he is drowning in just about everything. All of a sudden, everything he thought he wanted doesn’t seem appealing anymore. Liv can feel Eli pulling away and distancing himself. As they say though, two wrongs don’t make a right and Liv may have made a decision that wasn’t exactly the best. The only way to find out what happens with these two is to read their story.

These characters are so relatable. Many people face the same situations Liv and Eli found themselves in which add depth to the story. I couldn’t put the book down. I had to find out how everything turned out. I highly recommend giving this book a chance!

Kat's Conundrum (Raven and Hummingbird Book 3)Kat’s Conundrum by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Kat’s Conundrum is the third book in the Raven and Hummingbird Series by Nikki Broadwell. After reading Dagda’s Daughter (Book 2), I really couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book and continue the story- and I’m happy to say Ms. Broadwell didn’t let me down- this story is just as captivating as I hoped it would be. With plenty of surprises thrown in to keep me turning the pages.
This is another clever fantasy- with plenty of action, adventure, secrets, Fae, Gods/Goddesses, stolen memories, danger, magic, discovery, emotion, Celtic mythological elements, intrigue, and dramatic developments. As this book continues Katel’s (Kat) story, I would really recommend reading the previous book/s first before starting on this one.
Life has gotten quite complicated for Kat- things seem to be spinning out of control. Powerful forces are at play and she’s caught in the chaos. There is much at stake and she must decide who she can trust. Because, if she thought things were crazy before- life has got a few more surprises in store.
Wonderful!
Bring on Book #4!!!

Thank you, Nikki Broadwell!

Jake the Growling Dog Goes to Doggy Daycare: A Children’s Book about New Experiences, Friendship, Stress Relief, and Kindness
by Samantha Shannon

This was such a cute book with a good source of education with it. Jake is nervous and worried about going to doggy daycare. For him this is a really stressful situation. I really enjoyed how his friends were able to help him get through this and he was able to realize there was fun to be had once he let himself get past his apprehension. The illustrations in this book were awesome and the activities in the back were helpful and fun. I think this book is good for all ages. I read it to my granddaughters and they loved it. I recommend this book.

This is the first book that I have read from this author and I’m glad I did. My son and I read this book together and we both loved it. This book is about overcoming obstacles, kindness, and friendship. This is the second book of the series and now my son and I are going to read the first one as well. My son learned a lot from this book.

Jake the dog is very scared about going to daycare. He doesn’t know what to expect so it makes him not want to go. Jake is so afraid he runs away but his best friend Neet helps him along the way. Will Jake overcome his fear and meet new friends or will he be too afraid?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every Last Psycho by Zarina Macha was a great book! Consisting of two novellas, these two novellas were incredible in the sense of psychology and psychosis in general. Every Last Thought did a great job with schizophrenia and describing it, along with drug use and addiction, and obsession. This one held me from the beginning. It was very interesting to read, and also a little difficult at some parts. Psycho Girl was a crazy read, to be frank. Evelyn was definitely a textbook psychopath. Very interesting to read, her downward spiral was very easy to see coming. Both novellas were incredible and very well written. I highly recommend, but definitely an 18+ novel, due to some content that is triggering.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of An Italian Surviving The First Time by Gaia B. Amman is the second book in the Italian Teens, The Italian Saga. This is a brilliant addition to an already amazing series.
This is one of those series that I would recommend you read in order as you follow the same characters and each h book builds in their story.
The author has created such amazing characters in these books. They are the type that really stick with and it feels like you know them, like you are on their journey with them. I also love how relatable the story feels – this could be anyone of us when we were in high school! That level of engagement really deepens the connection I feel with the characters
This has been such an interesting series so far and I am looking forward to seeing what else is to come.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this fantasy-adventure short story. It is a well developed story that I was pulled into the story right from the beginning. The characters brought the story life and made it feel realistic, engaging. This story is full of drama, suspense and twists and turns that left me turning pages. Lilandra is a witch warrior specialist that got her soul mate killed in one of her past missions. Donovan has a deal for her that she can’t refuse, to give her the one thing she has wanted but she needs to help him. Will she bring the seal at his Lady or will she bring it at the coven? Why are the magical items wanted so much? This is a really great story that entertained me to the end. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite of hers yet. She writes with an imagination that brings the story to life. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning and was engaged to the end. Mielitta is the Queen of The Warrior Bees, she is faced with breaking the barrier between Forest and Citadel. She has her hopes set on one man. Mage is leading a double life but will he be able to stay loyal to Mielitta? He finds himself facing deceit and doing things that make him doubt himself and values. I enjoyed them and the other characters that make up this story. They made it interesting and had me turning pages fast. Find out what happens with Mielitta and Mage, I highly recommend this book.

This is a must read box set. These stories have hot alpha bikers that belong to a motorcycle club. Each one has their own story with their own life issues with one goal in mind, getting the girl. This author writes well developed stories and her attention to details make you feel as if you are right there with them. I had no problem connecting with the characters from each book. I was pulled into the stories with ease and couldn’t put them down until the last pages. I highly recommend this box set. This author brings hot, steamy romance to a new level, don’t miss out!

As with the first Jake book I thought it was a wonderful children’s story. It has an easy to follow storyline with a lovely message behind it and Jake is such a fun character too. There were some great talking points for the children also which were really useful. The book was beautifully illustrated; it was bright and colourful – very engaging for children! I look forward to Jakes next adventure! This is a definite must read for children of all ages!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one entertaining series! I really enjoy meeting these new characters and the crazy stuff this author comes up with is gold! We met Crimson in the last book. She is a witch with bad powers. Mike is a demon…actually the devil’s advocate. So he looks good but can’t be trusted. They have an undeniable attraction but one handshake and misspoken words is going to change it all.

I wasn’t sure about entering the demon world but this author made it so interesting. I couldn’t resist smiling and reading more. Hellions Anonymous. Ingenious! For recovering demons. What a great idea!

It was a joy reading this story. I loved it! I read it fairly quickly. Hoping there is more!

Zurich was my favorite though. I felt that all the characters were developed well. I also enjoyed the spin on how the Archangels came across. It made them unique. I found the storyline easy to follow and get lost in. I can’t wait to read more from this series.

I know the reason I was so excited about this book is because the first was so good. I also felt like I knew Leda and grew up with her. This book did not let me down. I was thrown into that age the second I picked up this book. I remember everything being so “much” and Gaia nailed it. In love, out of love, crushes, how you feel like you should look, how you actually look. This was a great book. ** if you have triggers for aggressive sexual situations please be aware this book has a specific area you may not be comfortable with. ** I’m honestly excited to see what Leda gets herself into next and can’t wait to find out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am obsessed with all of the Satan’s Devils books. Each time a new one comes out, I think it is the best one yet. This one, however, tore me to shreds and is probably one of the best books I have read this year. Hawk’s story deals with real issues that hit close to home. I felt for him and his wife throughout the entire book.

Hawk is struggling and doesn’t know what to do or who to even turn to for help. His pregnant wife is confused as to why the relationship with her husband is changing. Decisions are made that can change their lives forever. The other members of the MC make an appearance in this book when they come together to help their own.

I really don’t want to give too much away because these books should be experienced by the reader without anything spoiled. The scenarios in this book are real and will hit home for quite a few people. I felt so many emotions throughout the story…but, as always, the strength of family (whether by blood or chosen) plays an important role. Thank you Manda Mellett for another amazing story in this series!

An author who was not afraid to discuss what topics are on teen’s mind. Gaia Amman is an amazing author who tackled a topic that most people shy away from. The story moves along and I was turning the pages just as fast to see what was coming.. The story takes place in Italy. Leda is a young adult who is thinking about going all the way with Nico. Nico is the bad boy (who doesn’t fall for the bad boy). This is a hot topic among young adults. I love the way the story talks about young adults and their emotions. I highly recommend this book to young adults and to others just to enjoy the emotions of the young adult and the difficult times that come with that age.

I am loving the Hero High series by Mina Chara. I highly recommend reading the first two books in this series to get an understanding of Friday Fitzisimmons story. The adventure continues at Hero High in Icon City. It is because of Friday that I love this series. She is so innocent and inquisitive. Mina Chara did an amazing job with her attention to detail and character development. Not only did she create amazing characters but also a high tech world to entertain the reader. Friday is still trying to work on her life. She is a little confused in who she can trust and if the people in her life can help her. She is trying to be a good hero but is her faith in people stirring her in the wrong direction? I highly recommend this book as you will not want to put it down.

I think Toya is a wonderful author, I was almost in tears at the beginning of the book, the way she described Manuelas torments was both gripping a harrowing. I loved how this story progressed and the relationship between Manuela and Josh was heartwarming. A great read and I can’t wait to get stuck into the first two.

The story was adorable and the illustrations were perfect. The colors and scenery in the book I think, would appeal to children. The story itself is a great lesson in learning that new experiences may be scary at first but, you may come to love every minute. I really enjoyed how Neet was Jake’s best friend and followed him to daycare and gave him the support and motivation he needed to be self confident. The exercises at the end of the book are a sweet way to get involved and talk to children about their confidence and teach them it’s okay to be scared but it will pass.

The story The Seal of Solomon – Lilandra’s Reeves Adventure (Supernatural Intelligence Agency Book 2) by Nadine Travers is a fast-paced book that is entertaining to read. The story pulled me in and didn’t let me go until the final page. The book includes action, danger, magic, and magical creatures. I loved reading about the character of Lilandra Reeves. She is a witch warrior who has been called to protect and rescue the Seal of Solomon. She finds herself up against those who are determined to have the Seal. She is tempted by an offer that is both personal and emotional. Will she take the offer? Why are different factions going after magical objects? I love the character of Lilandra as she is strong, independent, and confident. She also has a side that is still affected by what has happened in the past. The book had me turning pages to find out what happens next. There are other characters introduced who interact with Lilandra. There are some who I wondered what their true motives are and others that work with her. This is an exciting tale that you don’t want to miss out on reading. I highly recommend reading it.

The story Arrows Tipped with Honey (Natural Forces Book 2) by Jean Gill is a wonderful tale to read. It pulls you in from the start and doesn’t let you go until the final page. It is a story in which the author does an amazing job of building a world that is both interesting and intriguing. I loved reading about the characters of Mielitta, Queen of the Warrior Bees, and Mage Smith Kemon. Mage Smith Kemon is leading a double life both in remaining loyal to Mielitta and as a spy at the Citadel. He has a lot of doubts and inner conflicts. He is always facing danger and the possibility of discovery. Mielitta has her gifted friends and beloved bees. There also other characters that are part of the council at the Citadel who are devious and are looking out for themselves and their way of life. This is a story that includes magic and discovery. Don’t miss out on an amazing story that is entertaining and kept me turning pages to find out what happens next. It is a story that I would recommend reading.

4 Stars

This is the third book in the Nocturnes series and although it can be read as a stand-alone, I suggest that you read the others as well. This series is amazing and you’ll enjoy them all.

This book is about the worst witch ever, Crimson Oliver. She’s not a bad witch, she’s just bad at being a witch. Most of her spells backfire and things mostly go wrong. She’s in trouble with the coven again wishes with all her might that her powers would stop failing her. She accidentally makes a deal with the devil and now needs to find a way to save her soul.

Mike is a devil’s advocate. He fell for Crimson the first time that he saw her. Unfortunately his devil side emerged and he made a deal with her. Now he needs to find a solution because he refuses to give Crimson to the devil.

This book is fast paced and easy to read. Once again Ms. Pulkinen has created characters that you’ll love. Though making a deal with the devil is serious business, the author manages to lighten the situation with humour and lots of love. This series keeps getting better and better and I’m hoping there will be other books that follow.

Sweet Salvation is the third book in The Protectors series by Toya Richardson. This is a wonderfully written story that will have your emotions going all over the place. At times my heart hurt for Manuela and the things she had been through and anger because of those things. Parts of this story may be a trigger for some but if you push through it ,its worth it. I was pulled in from the beginning and couldn’t put it down till the end. Manuela finds herself in a horrible nightmare, all she wanted was a normal human life . But what she finds herself in is brutal and she wants revenge . Will her mate be able to rescue her? Josh and Manuela are great characters as well as the other’s, their very well developed and connectable. I felt like I was right there with them.

Hawk's Cry (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #2)Hawk’s Cry by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book needs to come with a ‘tissues required’ warning. Hawk’s Cry by Manda Mellett tore me apart. I had spells of sobbing, ugly crying. It really hit very close to home. Hawk’s Cry is the 2nd book in the Satan’s Devils MC 2nd Generation. Each book I read by Manda Mellett just gets better and better. I’m totally in love with the Satan’s Devils.
In this book Manda Mellett tackles a very sensitive subject close to my heart; depression. Having suffered from depression for over 20 years and having my lowest spell ever last year I can totally empathise with Hawk and my heart broke for him on so many occasions.
Hawk is the VP of the Satan’s Devils, he’s newly married and has a baby on the way. Everything should be perfect in his life, but it’s far from it. He feels like he’s a failure, like he’s been pushed into everything and hasn’t made any decisions for himself so decides to leave the Satan’s Devils and start life anew as a citizen. Leaving an MC isn’t something you do lightly and there are consequences in doing so.
Does his new life with Pregnant wife Olivia bring him the happiness he wants? No, it definitely does not and it leads him to putting his family in danger. Will the Satan’s Devils help him out? Will he realise that he needs help? I urge anyone and everyone to read this book but please make sure that you have tissues with you as it will tear at your heart. Would give this more than 5 stars if I could!

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time (The Italian Saga, #4)Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time (Italian Teens, Novel 2, The Italian Saga #4) by Gaia B. Amman is a Young Adult story- and is a real, raw, and honest account of our girl Leda’s “first time”. We’ve followed Leda through the previous books/stories, and have been there every step of the way as she traverses transitioning from childhood and into a young adult. This picks up where book three left off, so even though this story could be read as a standalone if you wanted- I highly recommend reading the previous books too, so you have all the backstory and character information- as that will greatly enhance your enjoyment of this story.
This book is full of angst, drama, emotions, high school life, Italy in the 90’s, culture, peer pressure, family expectations, responsibility, insecurity, sex, humour, banter, antics, and a few shocking scenes. Leda is a great character- a bit of a tomboy, and here her life gets even more complicated than she had expected.
The series is a fictionalized memoir of the author’s younger years, set against the backdrop of Italy in the 1990’s. I have enjoyed this series and following Leda on her “adventure”- although there were times the character/s really frustrated me with what was going on- I have enjoyed the journey.

Thank you, Ms. Amman!

Hawk’s Cry is the second book in the Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation Series by Manda Mellett. Ms. Mellett is one of my go to authors. She really gets into the hearts and mindset of a MC club. This book is brilliantly written with so many emotions. I was on an emotional roller coaster with this book, grabbing for my Kleenex more than once. The raw emotions and the strong relatable characters make this book something special. I have gobbled up all of the Satan’s Devils books and now onto the Second Generation. This is one of my favorite so far. I would highly recommend this book, series and author. I can’t wait to see what Ms. Mellett has in store for us next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an adorable book! Jake the Growling Dog Goes to Doggy Dare Care by Samantha Shannon and Illustrations by, Lei Yang. This wonderful children’s book is about a dog named Jake, who tends to growl a lot, who gets to go to day care for the first time. The story talks about fears and anxieties. Also, how to overcome some of those fears and anxieties. I think it was a great way for kids to understand that it is going to be okay for their dogs to go to day care as well as for them to go to day care as well. The illustrations where fun and colorful. There were portrayed the story very well, which I think made the story just that much better! I was thoroughly impressed with this book and will definitely suggest it to people with little ones!
