Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Moriah Venable

Wrath (The Deadliest Sin #1)Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wrath is the first novel in the Deadliest Sins series. This is my tenth novel by this author.

Initially reading this, I felt like there some other part of the story that I had missed. The main characters had already fled and were trying to rebuild their lives but I wasn’t sure what had happened to them before.

Continuing to read, it didn’t matter what I missed. The story gave me flashbacks and bits of information to put some pieces together though not a full picture.

When his women is taken,  Konstandin risks everything to rescue her even if it meant his own life.

I love this author and I will happily read everything she writes.

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Shannon Fowler

After Wrath (The Deadliest Sin #2)After Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“They just woke a sleeping dragon. The years I’ve spent in the background have come to an end. It’s time to take my rightful place at the head of the family.”

This man, Aleksander, is just plain evil. Until he meets Brynn. But even her love is not enough for the dragon to change. She does bring out his caring side but this story is entitled After Wrath for a reason. There are no rainbows and unicorns in this story. Aleksander is on a mission. His mission is to avenge Saban’s death. Family comes first, no matter which Mafia family you are a part of.

I have said in my past review for McNamee, unforeseen twists. Twists that make you scream at your reading device. Twists that make you cry with sadness and with hope. McNamee is a master twist writer.

This book, well really this series, is not for the faint of heart. It is for readers that like dark, twisted, unimaginable stories. Way to go, McNamee! Looking forward to the ending?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book! This is a romance story that pulled me in right from the start. The author writes with emotion and well developed ideas. The characters pop off the pages and made the story feel realistic. I read this book in one sitting, a page turner to the end. Two sisters, Gabby and Abby. Abby is the responsible one and Gabby is more wild. What will happen when the sisters are mixed up? Can there be a happy ending for one of them? This is my favorite yet so far and a must read.

The Time Traveler's Magic (Book 1 of the Magic Bound Saga)The Time Traveler’s Magic by Anna Applegate
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about time. Ember is struggling to cope with her mother in hospital and the bills piling up. Things get strange when she is attacked by a man in a garage and he and his friends start following her to work. But events unravel and things get even stranger as she finds herself amongst pirates and ships. Can she make it back home to save her mother in time?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Ember standing up for herself but vulnerable underneath or Rane strong and stubborn but caring underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the innocent Destin or the gruff but kind Rick.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like the dream with the fog and the monster and the magic and the purple gem mysterious and colorful wonderfully written. Or the hospital full of life and people but contrasted eibt the white walls wonderfully written.
I loved how the book started off in the mystery, grabbing the reader attention from the start. I loved the sense of unease with the shadows and the feelings so strong its as id you’re actually there. also liked the time travel element of the book as a good idea but the jump to the past felt jarring to the reader and felt confusing as to what time period it was set in with no dates or signifying aspects making the characters and time travel hard to visualise and hard to relate to. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

This is the third book in this series, I highly recommend reading the previous two books in order to help understand this book. I loved this book. This author’s writing is well developed, creative and engaging. The characters made the story come to life. It is a fantasy story that will take you on an adventure that you won’t want to put down. This book is about realizing what you are meant to be and sometimes you have to put things aside to be that person. This is a must read!

Shameless (The Orphan Train Saga Book 2)Shameless by Sherry A. Burton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shameless by Sherry A Burton is the second book on the Orphan Train Saga. This historical fiction book, grabbed me, held me, and was a book I did not want to put down. This book really played on my emotions from the sad scenes, to the happy ones, and I will say it was a ride that I didn’t want end. This book follows Tobias, born into a poor and abusive family, he never stood a chance and found himself on the streets at a young age. He was then taken and placed with a family in Indiana, when that didn’t work out he found himself alone back in NYC on the street. He then again finds himself on a train but this time caught up in the Purple Gang. You must dive in and learn the full story of Tobias and know you will not be disappointed.
Sherry A. Burton again has given us such a great book in this series, and really cannot wait for more in this series. Learning about this outside of the reading this series is eye opening to what has happened in this county. I highly recommend and give this book 5 stars!

TanglesTangles by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I knew as soon as I read the blurb for this book that it was going to be an interesting and I imagined emotional read at times and I was right. Tangles was a wonderfully written story about something that affects so many of us and in so many different ways. Not one person with this awful condition behaves in the same way and I thought that the author really did write about it well, with empathy and truth. Logan’s story was such a journey and I truly felt like I was on that with him. I don’t think Alzheimer’s is an easy condition to write about – for me I always worry that the author might take a more stereotypical stance but Ms Scott definitely didn’t with Tangles – she really delved into the depth of how this condition can affect families and I was completely captivated by what I was reading from beginning to end.
I 100% recommend Tangles; it is a raw and emotional read that is exceptionally well written.

I don’t usually read this genre of books anymore. A book which has a main focus on a psychopathic person seeking revenge on others. That being said, I found The Flood: A Novel to be a good read. It brought back for me memories of reading Stephen King when I was younger. The book set a good pace and kept my interest. The twist and turns it gook kept me guessing on how it was going to end. Meghan O’Flynn definitely has a future and I look forward to seeing more from her.

Out BadOut Bad by Janice M. Whiteaker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Out Bad (Sinners or Saints Book 1) by Janice Whiteaker is a wonderful contemporary romance story with a bad boy ex-biker who has spent several years trying damn hard to turn his life around. He is full of pain and angst, guilt and turmoil, longing and want and is really hard on himself with what he has done even though he has paid for it, it still doesn’t quiet the negative thoughts he has of himself . He wants to settle down but isn’t sure he is worthy for it as much as he longs to have love and a family. I really loved this character but I wish he would have stopped putting himself down as much as he did, sometimes it was a bit overkill. He is an alpha male who is caring and when he sees something he wants he doesn’t stop to go after it.

Gwen is one sassy and independent, hard working woman but she is living with the pain of loss. She is in a job where men think with their second head making her become someone she no longer knows, she has become hardened. So when a sexy domineering man sets his sights on her, she knows she should stay away but she cant and she doesn’t know who she is in the process.

Both characters have a lot to sort through to get to a healthy place in their relationship but will they survive the truth that is yet to be told?

I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to see what is next in the series.

By M. Billiter

A Divided MInd is yet another great book by M. Billiter. I really do recommend that this book is read by everyone. What was hard reading this book was the struggle Mary’s son and family were going through in dealing with mental illness. A Divided MInd is based on this struggle that as a family they were going through. What was nice to read was that the son this book is based on had an input into the story which for me made me feel more and get pulled into the story further than I already was from the beginning. SO if you want a heartbreaking yet beautifully written book this is the one book you have to read this month. Thank you, Mary for sharing your story and this book definitely deserves more than five stars

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really couldn’t wait to get my hands on Not so Wrong. This is book two in the Love Grows series from Renee Regent, and I fell in love with this series and author in book one. They are written as of now where you could read them as stand alones or out of order. However, you do get to meet the main characters for Not so Wrong briefly in book one. Either way, both are fab and your won’t want to miss out on either of them.

I truly loved reading Melanie and Spencer’s story. These two captured my heart fairly quickly and I was consumed with them from beginning to end, well past my bedtime. I truly think the only negative for this story for me was that it ended. I loved the music theme with this. Melanie and Spencer both have a love for music in common. Sencer writes and composes music and Melanie loves to sing. The music that is possible to be made when these two come together is beautiful and ever present in the writing. I was captivated and could almost feel as if I was there watching these two in person. I absolutely cannot wait to see what will come next in this series!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start by explaining a little about Alek. He’s dark, dangerous, violent, bloody, destructive, and…I love it! The man has serious issues and takes way too much enjoyment out of what he does and it seriously turns me on! Crazy right??? Gwyn has the uncanny ability to make you completely fall in love with her characters, no matter how gritty, dirty, and bad they are! She has quickly become one of my absolute favorite authors. Even in a quick read such as this one, the story line is so detailed, raw, and emotional that you see and feel every word she writes.

This is book two in the Deadliest Sin series and they must be read in order. Book one left me in shock. Book two, After Wrath, picks up with Aleksander seeking revenge on those who he feels have wronged him. Seeking to unleash the wrath of the Dragon and no one will stand in the way of him reaching his goal. The ending was completely unexpected and left me full of anticipation with how this can all possibly play out! The only thing I know for certain is that it will most certainly not disappoint! This series is gritty, violent, powerfully emotional, thought provoking, and sexy! I can’t wait to delve into Book 3 and see what journey the author takes us on! As is everything else I have read by this author, this is a 5-star must read series!

Truck StoppedTruck Stopped by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truck Stopped was a great 5 star read and book 11 in the Satan’s Devils MC series.

We jump from past to present and learn some back history on Allie and Truck. Allie was kicked out of her home at a very young age and had to fend for herself on the streets. She made money the only way she knew how until she met a woman who brought her to the MC to work as a sweet butt.

Truck is a firefighter and MC member who was severely injured while fighting some fires in California. Since he’s been back he has avoided coming to the MC. The Pres decides to send Allie to Trucks to see if she can get him to let her in. Allie had made a connection with Truck before he left to fight fires, she hasn’t been the same since. She doesn’t want to be a sweet butt anymore, she wants to have something with Truck. Only problem is, Sweet butts don’t become old ladies.

Overall I loved this story. There are some unexpected twists to the story that had my emotions all over the place. These two definitely don’t have an easy story and at times I was thinking what else can happen to this poor couple. These two were perfect for each other, Allie didn’t see the scars on Truck only the genuine person he was inside and she had some of her own scars as well. They are a very strong couple. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. This is a great series that I highly suggest. I look forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh sweet mylanta, this was such a fun and a perfect introduction to the writing of Zoe Lee. As a new author to me I solely went into this book based on the fun and sweet cover. I tend to be kind of an easy sell on small town romances and the fact that it had a catchy twist of the play on Cinderella just added to the allure for me. I was not one bit disappointed and in fact found the book to be even more of deep romance novel than I had anticipated. Don’t get me wrong, this book was the perfect light and airy read that kept be entertained on an otherwise drab day, but it was steamy to boot. I thought the humor drew in the sex appeal and then the couple seemed to top it off with a steamy bedroom chemistry as well. All a delightful bonus.

Daisy and Dunk are both fun and quirky in their own ways, yet that is what compliments them as a couple as well. I loved the push-pull and that it wasn’t done in a cheesy way. I got the undertone of the Cinderella story but it was done well and not over the top. Overall, these two are quickly easy to fall in love with and will be a sure favorite couple of the year for me. I look forward to seeing what I have missed from Zoe Lee and to whatever may come in the near future!

This book is a quick read that you won’t put down from page one to the end! It’s definitely NOT your typical happy ending love story but it WILL make you travel through the vast array of human emotions! It’s violent and bloody and a spectacular example of what we are capable of, and what we are willing to sacrifice, in an effort to keep our loved ones safe. I fell in love with these characters. Even after I finished the book, the feelings just simmered in my chest. That anyone could love another person this much… Go ahead and grab this one! You won’t be disappointed. You will possibly go into shock, but won’t be disappointed at all!

You wouldn’t think with a series of this size that it could be possible for the stories to get better. This is not the case with Truck Stopped, the eleventh book in Satan’s Devils MC series from a personal favorite, Manda Mellett. I do not think there was one emotion that I am capable of feeling, and maybe even a few new ones, that I did not experience while reading the story of Truck and Allie. This story is one that I promise you will tear you up and spit you out mercilessly, but it will also slowly pull you all back together again in a warm cozy feel way. The characters become so real you almost feel as if you should be able to reach out to them. I loved every moment of my time spent with these two and I only felt disappointment once I realized the book had come to a close. I truly hope there will be many more Satan’s Devils stories to come. I look forward to whatever it is however that is to come next from Manda Mellett!

Surviving Wrath was an exceptionally well written conclusion to the Deadliest Sin series but I want more! I need more! I’m still trying to rationalize with myself that this is truly the end. And what an ending it was! I’m not sure if I’m happy, sad, angry, straight up pissed off, or all of the above.

This is book 3 of this series and they must be read in order. Trust me, once you start book 1, you won’t stop until the last words of book 3! Every minute spent reading will have you on the edge of your seat, heart racing, impatient to find out what is going to happen next. You can’t help but fall in love with all the characters, whether they are good or bad, they become a part of you. You find yourself wishing for certain outcomes for them that they may or may not get. You’ll be happy and heartbroken at the same time. I won’t go into any details about the storyline because I don’t want to give anything away, but you definitely need to read this series!

UGH!! Where do I even start with Into Pieces? First of all, I cannot say enough good things about this book but I will start with the gorgeous cover! If I hadn’t already read book one I would have grabbed this novel without even knowing what it was about. I had to have this book once I finished book one, Shattered. I was lucky in that I read that only recently so I didn’t have the dreaded wait it seems for some, a thing I am glad about.

This book really reached the high expectations that book one set and actually for me in some ways exceeded it. I loved the dark almost thriller like undertone that kept me intrigued and on my toes as I fell in love with Jas and Angel. These two really tore me apart, literally ‘into pieces and slowly put me back together. Its beautifully written even in the dark parts. I can’t wait to see what we will get with book three. I can only expect that it will be just as fabulous as the first two.

Usually not one for sci-fi novels, I tend to make an exception for Donna S. Frelick. I have really enjoyed the Interstellar Rescue Series and have always been left rapt for more. Fools Rush In is the third in the series, but could be read as its own novel. It really is actually a prequel more than anything so this may even be a good place to start if you want to meet the characters and have some more detailed back story. I’m sure after reading it you will be hooked on the series either way.

I love the characters Agent Rayna Carver and Pirate Sam Murphy. Both of them are great but together they are dynamite. I truly enjoy the equal grounding they both have as leads and as characters. The story is action-packed, literally straight out the gate, and it doesn’t slow down past lightning speed until the very end. The subtle romance was a nice touch to add depth of emotion as you read. I look forward to seeing what will come in the following books.

India Kells really kicked up the steam with this second installment of the Underground Bad Boys Romance series. The Traitor has to be my favorite book of India Kells that I have read yet. I love the dark and twisty storyline laced with passion and emotion that can’t be topped except if it were to be real life. Be prepared for steamy m/f/m scenes so make sure that is your cup of tea, if so this is one of the better written scenarios that I have read.

Spencer has not had an easy life, most definitely not the one that he would like to have either. Things may not be so easy even now, when a mysterious woman brings his past back into light. Josie is killing herself with work to try and undo the damage the past and terrible ex caused her. The new man in town will bring about even more change. And then there is Gage, my personal favorite. He is running from the past and finds himself a little something to occupy his time and mind in the meantime. Unfortunately, Gage will have more struggle and once again the one who doesn’t belong. These three will light up your kindles and keep you on your toes until the very end. I can’t wait to find out what the next book will hold!

The Fisher Men X-ing Lines (Book #2)The Fisher Men X-ing Lines by Rebel Nicks O’Dey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a relationship done mostly through texting for about the first year. No meeting in person. They share the same apartment but one is always gone. I thought this was a novel idea. I only wish they could have come together a bit sooner. While apart the story focuses on the story/book that Rika is writing.

I love all the family! Their interactions are really what make this a great read. The razzing, the betting, the head slaps and the teasing. I was really looking forward to reading this after book one. Just to be able to hang out with all these characters and all their zaniness again. But this one just fell flat for me. I struggled getting into and caring about the two main characters. My problems were the subplot-too much and too distracting and choppy and I felt there was too much overlapping from book 1(now it’s from Rika or Connors perspectives). I just found my mind drifting while in these areas. Other than those couple items I enjoyed the book.

This is my second book by this author. I was over the moon with her first in this series. I struggled a bit with this one. It’s a good story and she weaves in the sub plot. The characters are good and we do find out more about the Fishers. I read the Epilogue where we find out who the next book is about….it sound great!

Hmmmm…

This is another of those books that the blurb sounds amazing, the cover is gorgeous, the premise of the book is one that I’ve read and enjoyed before, but there was something about it that just didn’t enthrall me like I anticipated.

It wasn’t one major thing, it was a bunch if little things that all blended together.

Having said all that…

The writing is visually appealing while being conservative in details. The characters and storyline held my interest enough that I will be reading the next book in the series. The flow of the story was linear and there was a sexy pirate.

Overall a 4 star read.
