The Time Traveler’s Magic (Magic Bound Saga Book 1) by Anna Applegate

5-Stars

The Time Traveler’s Magic (Magic Bound Saga Book 1) by Anna Applegate take readers on an excellent adventure through time. It features romance, magick, shifters, vampires, and of course time travelers. Ember is unique and after her mother enters a coma finds out there is more going on than she realized. This is especially so when she finds herself in the past with Rane.
This story was easy to follow and difficult for me to put down. I loved every bit of it! The characters were excellent and developed well. It was also easy for me to visualize the different time periods Ember visited. I can’t wait for book two in this series to come out. I highly recommend this novel!

This is the next book in this series, while its not necessary to read book 1, I would because its a great book and we see the previous characters in this one.
We meet Knox and Josie in this book and wow, you could feel the heat through the pages.
Im not giving anything away because its best read yourself. But just know you won’t want to put it down once you start.
Stubborn Knox and sweet Josie are sure to become favorites just like they did for me.

Tangles by Sharleen Scott – Review by Kerry Baker

TanglesTangles by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tangles by Sharleen Scott is a highly emotional book about one persons fight with Alzheimer’s and another’s fight to discover more about the past.
This is one of those books that I found really resonated with me. I think because it involves an issue that is so prevalent nowadays and really does effect a lot of people. The way the author weaves this story is brilliant. She really makes you feel you are on the journey with them. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Logan and what he was having to go through.
The story was such an easy one to fall into as well. I was drawn into the book and couldn’t put it down. This really is well written and a book I would definitely recommend.

Fools Rush In (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 3) by Donna S. Frelick – Review by Chantelle Smith

Fools Rush In (Interstellar Rescue, #3)Fools Rush In by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fools Rush In is Book #3 in the Interstellar Rescue series. Each book that Donna S. Frelick writes brings an amazing level of adventure, romance and edge of the seat action. Book 3 is definitely my favourite one of this series, and also two of my favourite characters. I loved following their journey in this read, the author has given us a well developed and descriptive storyline that is mentally visual to all that reads it. I was totally hooked from the beginning and couldn’t put it down till the end. I must say even though these books can be read as a stand-alone, but for the extra depth and weaving of characters and storylines, I highly recommend reading all these books together, I know for a fact that you wouldn’t be disappointed.

I can’t wait to see where the rest of this series takes us and what else this author has to offer, but I’m excited to find out! Until then do not miss this read!

The Time Traveler’s Magic (Magic Bound Saga Book 1) by Anna Applegate – Review by Jenni Bishop

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

The Time Traveller’s Magic (Book 1 of the Magic Bound Saga) by Anna Applegate is a fantasy story that I really enjoyed reading. There is magic and shifters and vampires and pirates and plenty of action to keep you interested and engaged. It is a different and original concept and was really well written. Anna has woven several genres to make it a magical and exciting read.

Ember is a time traveller but has no recollection of it and fears she maybe going insane. As her mother becomes ill she must learn what she is to be able to save her and stop the evil that is threatening the events of time. Ember is a strong woman but at times she drove me absolutely insane because she would not do as she was told. Having said that though I loved the way it played havoc with Rane.

Rane is a pirate and has a nemesis that is making his and everyone else’s lives tougher but not just in his time, he is causing havoc across the centuries as well. Rane is my favourite character, I fell in love with him. When a mysterious woman once again pops up on his ship he tries to make her see reason and do as she is told but he swears that she will be the death of him. I enjoyed their interaction and loved reading Ranes’ thoughts as the story is told in different POV’s.
The interactions between Rane and Ember are full of lust and tension, sizzling heat and an unknown draw which neither understand.

I really enjoyed this first book to the series and am anxiously awaiting reading the rest of the series. BUT WTF! Renee come on a cliff hanger! I swear I cursed up a storm just like the pirates in the story.

Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3)Surviving Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surviving Wrath is the last novel in the Deadliest Sins series by Gwyn McNamee. This is my twelfth novel by this author.

With such a fast paced conclusion, it left me with a lot of questions and I hope the author may come back to this series to fill in the blanks. Felt like the ending was open ended with the possibility for me which I am all for. The ending definitely leaves you speechless and not sure what to think. I have all these questions about what happened to the characters and how things progress.

The novels are really short and quick to read but they are worth it.

Discovery (The Orphan Train Saga Book 1) by Sherry A. Burton – Review by Angela Hayes

Discovery (The Orphan Train Saga Book 1)Discovery by Sherry A. Burton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Discovery is the first book in The Orphan Train Saga by Sherry A. Burton. This book is a mixture of history, mystery, drama, fact, and fiction. While all the characters and situations in the story are fictional, the ‘Orphan Trains’ and the situations that brought them about, are quite factual. I was completely fascinated by the story behind the Orphan Trains, which play a big part in the story- but I really appreciated the extra details in the author’s note at the end of the book. Facts that really were quite emotional, and really grabbed me by the heartstrings- I really felt for all those children and what they must have gone through to end up on the Orphan Train, and for a lot of them, their hardship didn’t stop at the end of that journey.
Anyway, I digress a little. I read this story in one sitting- completely intrigued by the whole saga. The way Ms. Burton has blended fact, with her well thought out fiction, really held my attention. The story transitions from past to present quite seamlessly, going back and forth multiple times. So, it’s almost like we really get two stories in one. One is set in the 1920’s and the other in our modern day. It touches on secrets, discovery, hardship, friendship, family, love, understanding, and survival.
Cindy Moore never suspected that cleaning out her grandmothers storage unit would lead her on a journey of discovery and revelation. A doll. A key. And some journals propel her on a fact finding mission- a little detour from what she had originally planned. The story gets more intriguing the further it unfolds. As this is the first book in the series, I really can’t wait to find out what happens in the next book.
The story is well written, if not a little ‘formal’ or ‘stiff’ in places. But, this is a fairly minor issue which didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment of the story.
Emotive!

Thank you, Sherry A. Burton!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The series The Confectioner Chronicles is a great Ya series by Claire Luana. Claire Luana has an imagination that you can see clearly while reading her books. This series has been created in a world that food has become part of the magic in this world. There is an underlying theme of trust (with magical desserts to help). There is mystery, fantasy, magic, danger, secrets, and skeletons in the closet to go around. The stories take you on a wild ride. I recommend to set enough time to read the stories in one setting.So sit down relax with your favorite beverage, favorite comfy clothes, and a favorite blanket and enjoy Claire Luana’s The Confectioner’s Chronicles.

A Divided Mind By Mary Billiter. This book really pulled me in. It was a welcome surprise to read something a bit different and about a subject that some can find difficult to understand. I was on an emotional roller coaster ride but truly enjoyed the storyline and the characters. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. The characters are complex and truly unique. I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Divided Mind by M. Billiter is a story that I would keep a box of tissues close. When I saw the cover I knew I needed to read this book. M. Billiter did an amazing job with her story about schizophrenic patients. I never had the experience of knowing someone with this disability, but I can just imagine how difficult it may be. This story is about Branson who deals with the voices in his head. It hard at times to distinguish who is in Branson’s head or in the flesh. The struggle is real and the journey you go with Branson is a difficult one. Will this book open your eyes or keep you in the dark? Will Branson story touch your heart? This story is an emotional roller coaster ride that may stick with you awhile.

The Traitor by India Kells is the second book in the Underground Bad Boys series. I love India Kells stories. She is an amazing storyteller. She can hold my attention with her words and the images that I can see in my mind’s eye. I am not one for steaming sex scenes but this story made me rethink that view point. This story is about Spencer and what he has been apart of socially. He has been on the down low since he betrayed his boss. He sees Josie and he wants to keep his distance because he believes she is not right for him. He was doing just that until he sees someone from his past. Will Spencer keep his distance or will he take Josie under his wing? Will the person from his past get in the way? Read on to see what happens.

Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3)Surviving Wrath by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

DO NOT READ THIS SERIES OUT OF ORDER!!!

Ok that headline is a little shouty, but you will be doing yourself a disservice if you read this series out of order.

Surviving Wrath is the third and final installment of “The Deadliest Sin Series”. The series is told in multiple points of view which makes the read very interesting. I thought I knew what was going on – I really did – and I’m not sure if I would make the same or different decisions when faced with … well read the book to find out.

Now that the series is complete, I am going to go back and read all three from beginning to end as each picks up where the last left off. The flow of the series is strong and perfectly paced. Emotions (including wanting to throw my Kindle against a wall) were felt the whole way through.

A note about the writer… I read the “Slip Series” and assumed she was a rom-com author. I read “The Savage Series” and assumed that was as dark as she could go, that is not the case. I have no idea what she will write next, but I for one will be one clicking as soon as it has a title.

I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES AND THIS AUTHOR!!! (wow that was shouty too)

I enjoyed this book. I highly recommend reading the prequel first to help understand where this one is starting from as this picks up where the previous left off. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning. Ember is a great character. She has a long road ahead of her with learning her powers but she is strong. I enjoy watching her grow throughout this series. Her story has a little bit of everything from time travel to vampires to sexy pirates. I highly recommend this book.

Surviving Wrath (The Deadliest Sin Series Book 3) by Gwyn McNamee. This is the 3rd book in this series and to say they are amazing is an understatement. Do not try to read this as a standalone because you won’t understand. I truly loved this series and this book is no exception. Its so fast paced that once you start you can’t put it down. Its still about Konstandin & Rea being in hiding from the Mafia. They are still trying to escape with their lives from those that want revenge. This book is a quick, take your breath away story and I don’t want to say too much to give away the story. Just read it, you won’t be disappointed. You will understand without a doubt that Wrath is the deadliest sin!

The story The Time Traveler’s Magic (Magic Bound Saga Book 1) by Anna Applegate is a paranormal romance/fantasy book. It is a story that I loved reading and found myself getting lost in the pages. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Ember Brighton and Rane Andersson. Ember is a young woman who is intelligent, strong, and stubborn. She finds herself with a crumbling life and then with those she loves in danger. It is then that she meets Rane. Rane is a man that feels an attraction and pull towards Ember. She haunts his very thoughts. She finds that she must trust him. Will she be able to save the ones she loves and fix the balance of time itself? Will Rane be able to help her? What does the future hold for Rane and Ember? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has Ember with more questions than answers. Will she find the answers that she seeks? This is a book that includes action, danger, magic, vampires, and shifters. If you love the paranormal like I do you will find yourself unable to pull yourself away from the story until the very end. I grew to care about Ember with every chapter that I read, and I wanted her to succeed and be happy. I also enjoyed reading about the secondary characters that are introduced in the story and who interact with Rane and Ember. This is a book I would highly recommend reading.

I have been really looking forward to reading the second book in this series as I was especially excited to read Melanie and Spencer’s story! And as expected I was not disappointed at all! I fell in love with the two main characters straight away. There was just something about them both that drew me in straight away – Melanie was a strong, independent woman and Spencer – well he was just so hot I fell in love with him as soon as I met him – but as well as that there was a slight vulnerability about him that I really liked. There was just something so special about the two of them that together they just seemed to work, they both had their own secrets to deal with and I just knew that together they would be able to help each other out.
The author has written a really beautiful tale, the pace and flow of the story is excellent and my interest was kept from beginning to end. I absolutely loved Not So Wrong and I cannot wait to read more from Ms Regent again in the future!

I absolutely loved this collection of stories!! They were so magical with a good amount of suspense and along with it some fantastic plot twists and turns. I really liked the characters and I loved reading about them. One of the things I loved about this series is how unique it was and I loved the author’s writing. The stories were written it in such an engaging way that I couldn’t put them down. Having read books by her previously I know that her world building is usually good but I thought that it was excellent in this series. I really liked Wren and I actually liked that I had to work hard to get to understand her, I found her character really intriguing but there was something about her that I just instantly liked. She was a fantastic, strong heroine to read about. I think I would definitely like one of the deserts that she bakes!! All of the characters in the stories were great to read about.
I 100% recommend this series – it was a fantastic read!

Truthfully, with the first book, I was very unsure what I would find in its pages. I knew I was intrigued but was afraid I might be bored. The joke was definitely on me – I was astounded.

It’s follow up continues to hold the bar at a very high level. The characters continued to draw me in to the historical fiction in its pages and transport me back to a very different time.

Burton does a masterful job creating a universe and cast of characters that are intriguing, relatable, and captivating. The story is vivid and certainly stands the test of time. Absolutely loved it.
