Why (Stalker Series Book 2)
By Megan Mitcham
5 out of 5 stars

The story Why (Stalker Series Book 2) by Megan Mitcham is a book that is thrilling and suspenseful. It pulled me in right from the start and didn’t let me go until the final page. It has danger, a little romance, and mystery. I loved the character of Genevieve Holst. She is an attorney who lives for putting the bad guys behind bars. When her boss and mentor is accused of murder, she defends Perry when no one else would. After her victory, she begins to uncover information and situations that raise questions. What will Genevieve discover? Does she know her boss and mentor as well as she thinks? What could happen if Perry finds out that she is following his every move? Read this book to find out. Genevieve is a woman who is strong, confident, and independent. She gives her all when she has a cause or case, she believes in. She is not one to give up easily. She is a likable character whom you want to root for. I also loved reading about the characters that interact with her. She has strong friendships and is liked by those she works with. This is a story that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. It is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with Genevieve in her investigation. There are times when I had to remind myself to breathe. This is a book that will have you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend reading it.

By Jean Wilde
5 out of 5 stars

The story A Gentleman’s Stipulation (The Scarlet Salon Book 4) by Jean Wilde is a historical romance book. I loved reading this story as it pulled me in, and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had read the last page. The story has romance and two main characters that loved reading about, Lady Victoria Gilbert and Blake Hall. Victoria is a woman who doesn’t shy away from saying what she thinks. She has a strong personality and in the times that she lives in that is not always the proper way of things, especially when she is in the market for a husband. She soon finds herself at odds with Blake. Blake is a man who has been spurned in love and not ready to take the plunge again. That begins to change when he meets Victoria and the feelings that he has when around her. They then find themselves in a situation where they both become an unlikely pair and find a way to walk the thin line between love and hate. They can’t deny the attraction they have for one another. What does the future hold for Victoria and Blake? Read this book to find out. I enjoy reading historical romance novels and this book is a good example of the reason why. I enjoyed reading about the push and pull between Blake and Victoria. There are secondary characters that I enjoyed reading about and how they interact with Blake and Victoria. This is a book that will grab your interest the whole way through. I would highly recommend reading it.

Miri is a character that I grew to love with each chapter that I read and wanted her to be happy. Many of the additional characters are the friends that she makes, and I enjoyed reading about their interactions.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read Between the Lines by Belinda Williams is the first book in the Freshwater series. This is such a strong way to start a new series that it will definitely leave you wanting more.
Right from the word go this book caught my attention. While I tend not to pay attention to a book cover this one was so striking my eyes were unwittingly drawn to it! It meant that as soon as I got this book I just had to dive straight into it!
The whole story was so well written. It was entertaining in both storyline and characters. They were so engaging and relatable I absolutely loved reading about them. This book has caught my interest fully and I cannot wait to see what is coming up in the rest of the series.

The story Age of Secrets (The Druid’s Brooch Series Book 8) by Christy Nicholas is a wonderful book that I loved reading.

By Mina Chara
5 out of 5 stars

The story Denial (Hero High Book 1) by Mina Chara is a book that had me hooked and wondering what was going to happen next. It pulled me in, and I found myself at the end wishing for a few more chapters. It is the story of a girl who has been placed in Hero High by her father. She is 17, is opinionated, has powers, and not shy about what she says or does. Things seem to happen around her and as she tries to settle into school, she finds herself in several situations that make her wonder just what is going on in the city. Read this book for the full story. This is a fast-paced story. It takes you to a school where powered people live and train. The character that you follow seems to follow her own drum and is finding out that strange things are happening around her. I like the idea of a school for those with powers and it would be an interesting and exciting place to be. The other characters who interact with the main character are interesting and I enjoyed the interactions that occur. This is a book that I would recommend reading.

I loved reading the story The Explorer (Mountains Series #6) by Phoebe Alexander. I have loved reading about Abby in the previous books of this series and am thrilled that she now has a story of her own. This is a book that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. Even when I finished, I wished there were a few more chapters. Abby is in college and on her own. Although she feels like she has to be someone different with each family member and even her friends. Will Abby find her happiness? I also loved reading about Gavin. He is a fellow student of Abby’s. Will he find himself at college? Will he find the attention and friendship that he has always wanted? Read this book to find out. Both Gavin and Abby are wonderful characters. They are likable characters and you can’t help but want them to find happiness. This story is an emotional one and my emotions went up and down the entire time I was reading it. This is a coming of age story that has Abby and Gavin finding out about themselves and the others around them. There are steamy romantic scenes. I would highly recommend reading this book.

The story The Scene (Dylan Hart Series Book 1) by R.M. Gilmore is a horror book that kept me turning pages. I was always wondering what would happen next. It pulled me in from the very beginning and once started I found myself not able to put it down. I loved the character of Dylan Hart. She is strong, independent, sassy, has plenty of wits, and determination. She is a journalist that is looking into a story. A story that includes vampires. What will she find? Read this book to find out. Dylan is sassy and can easily turn on the sarcasm when needed. She is a likable character and I found myself quickly rooting for her to find out the truth of the story she is working on. The story has action, suspense, danger, and some chilling scenes. I have loved stories about vampires and the occult for a long time and this story is a good example of why. There are twists and turns in the book that I didn’t see coming. There are quite a few additional characters that are introduced. Some I enjoyed reading about, such as Dylan’s bestie, and then others who are mysterious, and I had to wonder what their real agenda is. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you glued to the pages until the ending. I would highly recommend reading it.

The story has tense moments that I was turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. Don’t miss out on the second book in this series. I highly recommend reading it.

The story Midnight in the House of Lang by Bree M. Lewandowski is a dystopian/romance book.

A Moore Affair (Moore Family Saga #4)A Moore Affair by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Moore Affair by Michele Sims a fantastic four-star read. This is number four in the Moore Family Saga and I would advise you read them in order, as I have missed one and only realised half way through this one, I didn’t feel very lost but I will have to read a bunch before I go back to read it as I spoiled it for myself. Bella is about to find that marrying Miles may be more than she realises, and it may be more bite than she can chew. But you can see the love that she and Miles have for each other, the author does a great job of bringing you into their story. This is a great series and the dram will keep you hooked and bring you right into the story. If you haven’t picked it up go back and start at number one and enjoy the whole series.

License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Sara Oxton

License to Bite (New Orleans Nocturnes, #1)License to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

License to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen a five-star read that will bite back. This is the first story in the New Orleans Nocturnes series and what a start, I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the rest of the series. This was so funny, do not drink and read as you will be spitting water out everywhere. It has just the right amount of sass and humour, this turns your typical supernatural romance on its head and rights it all again. Jane is great, I really didn’t think I would like her at first, but I really warmed to her as well as some of the other secondary characters. The banter and back and forth really kept you guessing, this series show such great promise and I can’t wait for number two.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Indebted to the Vampire by Erin Bedford a five-star read with bite. This is the first novel in the House of Durant series and shows us what a great series this is going to be. I did waver over this one as at times I was wondering if I would give it three stars, but then it would pull me back in and just make the story great again. Piper was just full of sass and spark, she made me smile and boy did she bring all the boys to the yard. Piper was so clumsy and has this amazing inner dialogue that will make you snort with laughter. I can not wait to sink my teeth into the next one of this series as mmmm these boys just have something a little extra and it’s not priceless vases.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Marked for Death by Amy McKinley a five-star read that shows the true mark. This is number six in the Gray Ghost series and each one goes from strength to strength, Keegan Hunt steps up to the plate this time and brings Caraccas to life. You can feel the heat and danger to this story, you can feel the romance and become part of the story as its so well written. As always, this author keeps the action levels so high that you can’t put it down. This could be read as stand-alone, but I adore the series and have enjoyed reading them all, but I am left all a float wondering if there will be a lucky number seven.

The Scene by R.M. Gilmore a thrilling five-star read. This is the first novel in the Dylan Hart series and what a start, I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the rest of the series. Dylan Hart just made me smile so much, honestly the character was sublime, there was just something warm and fuzzy with a scrappiness to it. The thing is Dylan is great, but the rest of the characters just brought out so much of the story, it had me laughing one-minute biting my nails in the next. This was just an engaging and compelling story that you would be sad to miss.

Serenade by T.K. Lawyer a unique four-star read. I enjoyed this story, it wasn’t the usual story that we get when reading about wolf shifters, this had a great spin to it and made a great story. I love taking a chance on a new to me author and this one definitely is one I will be looking for again as I enjoyed this one overall, I did feel that it could have been a little more polished at times, but overall very good. Eva was such a compassionate character, she makes you warm to her, and Kingsley pulled me into him, there was just something special about him. I can only hope to grab something else from this author to see what will come next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Music Man by K.L. Montgomery a five-star read that is like music to your ears. This is number one in the Romance in Rehoboth series and what a start, I am in love already, I have read the rest of the series and gone back to the start for this one and can attest that they can be read as standalone as they set in the same amazing place with some interacting characters but not in each other’s pockets, best of all worlds. This brings to us what I have come to love from this author and realness and a harsh look at life as it really is, but with a heart warming spin that sows us that just because there are wicked people in the world doesn’t mean deep down we have to join them, and just because you see the pretty outside doesn’t mean you see pretty inside and vice-versa, I love how the author shows us that side of life. I simply adored Claire as she has this amazing inner monologue that just made me relate to her infinity. Do not miss this story as it will bring music to your life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Explorer by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read you would climb mountains for. This is number six in the Mountains series, this one can be read as stand-alone, but the series is amazing, we have met Abby the main character of this one before as she is the daughter of one of the main characters from some of the earlier books, but this one Abby comes into her own and we get to know more about her as a woman. This author shows us again how to deal with issues we all face in a more inclusive manner as she shows us how to be body positive and just accepting of sexuality no matter the form it takes. Abby is growing up and we get to go on the journey with her, it’s such an insight into her mind, and its like being a fly on the wall of a young person’s life. This really brought some amazing characters to life and I can only hope we get to hear more from them.

This is my first book by Debbie Manber Kupfer. Her story is well planned out. Her characters are fully developed and yet a bit mysterious. I found myself wanting to know what was going to be happening next. This story is YA Fantasy but make no mistake, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I find that the YA genre authors have fresh ideas that keep me engaged until the last page and leave me wanting more. In this story Miri has received a silver cat charm from her Omama Celia. Little did Miri have any idea what secrets she is going to be learning. I highly recommend this story to see what Miri is going to be learning in the coming days.

They bring twists and turns that left me turning pages fast. This is the second book in this series and I highly suggest reading the first book before this one to help get the full effect of this story and characters. I was pulled into the story from the start and lost total track of time until I hit the last page. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This is the second book in this series, I enjoyed it just as much if not more than the first one. This is a young adult story that is full of supernatural powers. It will keep you guessing as you try to figure out where the villians came from. This story is full of action with villains and heroes. The problem is you don’t know who is who and who is watching. Will the MC figure it out before it’s too late? I enjoyed the characters in this story. I had no problem connecting with them, even the villains who helped make the story flow and engaging. It is fast paced and had me turning pages fast. I highly recommend this book as well as the first one, you won’t regret picking them up.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Scene (Dylan Hart series Book 1) by R.M Gilmore
4 Stars

Dylan Hart is a journalist. She decides to write a book to pay off her student loans. There is a serial killer on the loose. All his victims were left bloodless as if a vampire killed them. There is no better fodder for her book than this. While chasing down clues and doing research, she puts herself in the killer’s sights. Dylan has to fight for her life while trying to figure out who the killer is. Who can she trust when everyone is a suspect?

I really liked Dylan as a character. She was a no nonsense, down to earth kind of girl who had normal insecurities and self confidence issues. Being on the bigger side, she has never had the “hot guy” after her. Now that Cyrus is interested in her, can she trust him? I didn’t like Tatum. I almost wished she was one of the victims. I know that’s mean but the way she treated Dylan is not the way you should be treating your best friend.

The story introduces you to the underground culture of vampirism; the clubs, cults and people who believe themselves to be vampires. This is not your typical vampire novel. The author never confirms that any of the characters are vampires leaving you constantly guessing. You are forever walking the line between believing they really are or that they are nut jobs who think they are. Though at times I found the book a little long, it was well written and the storyline kept me interested. I’m looking forward to reading book two to see what other trouble Dylan can get into.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love is What you Bake of it by Effie Kammenou a five-star feast of a read. This is the first novel in the Meraki series and my first by this author, and I will be eager to read the rest of the series as this one did have a couple of dips and undercooked bits, but overall was a nice solid and sweet bake and left a lovely after reading taste. Kally was a great character, I immediately warmed to her and loved her aprons and the café, you could almost smell the coffee beans in the air. The Coffee Klatch just sounded like a great place to be, and Max well he sounded like the kind of man you could be proud of in his amazing uniform, even if he doesn’t feel like people should be proud of him. This was a great story and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into number two to see what flavour that one will be.

A Study In Spirits by Byrd Nash a five-star show stealing read. This is number two in the College Fae Magic series, and flows well from the first novel and just continues with the great story. There is something special about the characters in this story, I like how we have many of the same characters as the first story, but some new to keep it fresh, the characters have such depth to them they will surprise you. The whole premise of this story is one that brings a fresh look at the genre, this really is a great story, there are some great friendships shown despite the differences between characters, its nice to see the difference shown and overcome. I enjoyed the flashbacks in this story, they just added another layer to the story. If you enjoy a good story and a bit of fantasy, then you won’t go wrong reading this series.

Black Blade by Alexander Charalambides a cutting four-star read. This was my first read by this author and I hope it wont be the last as I enjoyed the writing style, there was action a plenty and magic and fun to keep the story going, it really did manage to keep a pace well. Its told by several POV’s and that was one thing I struggled with, as I couldn’t keep up, but to be honest it could be me and the place I am in right now, so give it a go and see what you think. The one thin I did really enjoy was fate/destiny story added something special as its always something that has attracted me. The characters are well developed, and the story is good, so dig in and enjoy.

Cade is the drummer of Default Distraction, and he is the son of a mafia boss. This complicates his life just a little bit. A.S. Roberts does an amazing job keeping this bad boy under control. Roberts’ characters all have their own little fire within themselves. That is what makes her stories attractive and keeps the reader want to keep reading to see what will be coming next. Winter is the younger sister of the lead guitarist and she doesn’t want anything to do with anyone. It is a good thing that Cade goes for what he wants and nothing gets in his way. I highly recommend this story as well as the first two books in this series. You will want to see what happens between Cade and Winter.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance book. It is a story about two people who are interested in finding out more about each other but have hidden secrets that could change things. This is a well written story that kept me turning pages to the end. I enjoyed being pulled in right from the beginning by the characters. They made the story feel real and brought the story to life. I had no problem connecting with them. I enjoyed their chemistry together which made their story easy to read. I don’t regret picking up this book and neither will you. I highly recommend this book.
