The Protector: MAC (Cover Six Security, Book 1) by Lisa B. Kamps – Review by Jana Teppih

The Protector: MACThe Protector: MAC by Lisa B. Kamps
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Protector: Mac is the first full book in Lisa B. Kamps’ new series called Cover Six Security! I have read other of her series so I knew that whatever direction she has decided to take us into, it would be smashing! And it was! I had not read the real introduction to the series, the novella where we meet first our Tabitha “TR” Meyers and Gordon “Mac” MacGregor so I know I need to go back to it as apparently it gives us even more of the backstory!
The Protector: Mac is filled with suspense, intrigue and action … it is twisted and distorted and at time you have to take a moment and think “WTH!” and then … it all comes together! I loved how the writer had added another point of view in addition to Mac and TR …. wait for it …. the bad guy! It added a whole another layer to the atmosphere! I cannot wait for all the other guys in the Cover Six Security to get their own stories and I hope that we will also get a bit more of Mac and TR as they are part of the gang AND (not giving it away), TR is also changing careers!

Seraphina’s Vengeance (The Seraphina Series Book 3) by Sheena Hutchinson – Review by Maura Harper

Seraphina's Vengeance (Seraphina #3)Seraphina’s Vengeance by Sheena Hutchinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Seraphina Series and I highly recommend reading them in order. There are threads and arcs that follow with each story and it will just make more sense. It has been a bit since I read books 1 & 2 and wished I had skimmed them a bit before jumping in to SERAPHINA’S VENGEANCE.

As with the other stories in this series, this is a complex tale that is constantly twisting and turning along the way. It’s a fluid story and VENGEANCE is a bit darker than the first two. I feel like the underlying moral is that we are always changing and growing and become more comfortable in our own skin. As we grow, others may not grow at the same speed. The voices in our heads are not always in our best interest. (I know this is super cryptic, but once you read the series it will make more sense).

I think the author does a great job of creating a narrative that moves the story along naturally. This is classified as paranormal-fantasy-romance and I think there is a good balance of all. It has been fun watching Sera grow as the stories continue.

I look forward to reading book 4 in this fantastic series.

The Chosen: Book One: The Orb Quest Series by Cari Schaeffer – Review by Maura Harper

The Chosen (The Orb Quest Series, #1)The Chosen by Cari Schaeffer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“What is a convergence?” “It is the coming together of everything to a specific point in time.”

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and the first book of the series. It’s quick and entertaining and an overall adventure. This story jumps right in and because I had not read the blurb or given more than a quick glance at the cover, I initially wasn’t sure what type of book this was going to be. THE CHOSEN is everything!!

I would classify this as a YA/Coming of Age story that I think would hold my young nieces attention. The chapters are short and each holds a lot of action and forward movement. The story ebbs and flows in that miraculous way that suddenly I was at the end and I wanted more. I assume there is going to be AT A MINIMUM four stories to the series and I think if they all continue this strong and are this to the point, they could go on for a long time coming.

5 SOLID STARS

I really do enjoy a light hearted fun read and that is exactly what this novel was, this had me laugh out right at times or smiling like a Cheshire cat.

Misfortune of Song: Druid’s Brooch Series: #5 by Christy Nicholas – Review by Erin Wolf

Misfortune of Song (Druid's Brooch #5)Misfortune of Song by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Misfortune of Song: Druid’s Brooch Series: #5 by Christy Nicholas, 5 stars.

It is the 12th century in what will be known as Ireland. Maelan is the warcheif for his clan. He is also in charge of his unruly granddaughter, Orlagh. He takes his position very seriously, but he also wants to be the best grandfather and protector he can be. Unfortunately, Orlagh is very strong minded and does not always do what Maelan thinks is right. When she decides to pursue what she believes is her one true love, he tries to put a stop to it. But she will not listen. Now he has to choose between his clan and his only living family. This will put him on an epic adventure where he will put his beliefs to the test, encounter the Fae, and test this old man’s love and endurance. Can he save Orlagh? Does she really need saving?

This was a perfect read for St Patrick’s Day. A historical fiction/fantasy set in older Ireland, this book interested me immediately. I have read previous books in this series and once again this story was exceptional. I am constantly amazed at how each book in this series can be so different from each other, but yet they all tie together flawlessly. The stories of both Maelan and Orlagh are so good. You can understand where each one comes from and why they make the decisions they do. The other characters are also done so well and I would love to see more of them in other books. The story itself has so much going on that there is not one boring moment. Not to mention a few surprises along the way.

If you are a fan of well written historical fiction, fantasy, and/or fiction set in Ireland, this book and series is for you.

Miss Apple Pants: Lost in Love (The Miss Apple Pants Series Book 2) by Charlotte Roth – Review by Natalie Hanley

Lost in Love: Miss Apple Pants (#2)Lost in Love: Miss Apple Pants by Charlotte Roth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the “Miss Apple Pants” series by Charlotte Roth but it is fine to read as a standalone. I hadn’t read the other books but was quickly enchanted by the characters. I found them original and very easy to identify with. I loved the humour of this book and found it easy to follow. It was a good paced story with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. I liked that some of the characters were older as young characters seem to be the norm.
I’d recommend this to anyone who likes a love story or a family drama.

Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch Series: #7 by Christy Nicholas
4 out of 5 stars

This book has a unique twist on how it presents itself to its reader. This is the 7th book in the Druid’s series. This series is essentially the same story that is told from the points of view from multiple family members in different points in history.
These books are not in chronological order, therefore they can be read standalone, however, as a reader, I feel that it is always best to read a book/series in the order the author wrote them in.
This book, and really this whole series, is heavily laced in history and fokelore is beyond breathtaking and it adds a rich element to the story that builds creates deepth.

Conall and Lainn are the main characters of this story. They are brother and sister who are on the run from a terrible step-father. Conall has inherited the brooch. He is struggling to protect Lainn from their abuse step-father. This story is an emotional rollar coaster. I am an older sibling. i related to this story on a deeper lever for the need to protect a younder sibling. The paranormal, magic and intirgue in this story makes you want to keep turning the page over and over again.

Fantasy lovers will love this book and series. History lover will appreciate the details of this series and both will love how they combine into one beautiful series!

Little Do You Know (Bayou Devils MC Book 5)
By A.M. Myers

I have loved reading this series thus far and this book is no exception. The story of Noah and Kady took me on an emotional rollercoaster that I couldn’t put down! Their story makes you believe that love can conquer all. There are heartbreaking hold your breath moments, and moments where my tears are running down my face. This book hooked me from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down till I found out what happens!! I highly recommend this wonderfully written full of emotion book.

Devil’s Backbone (Wild Beasts Series Book 5) by T. Birmingham – Review by Stefanie Carney

Devil's Backbone (Wild Beasts Series Book 5)Devil’s Backbone by T. Birmingham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Devil’s Backbone is just one of those books that you can’t stop reading. This is the fifth book in the Wild Beast series and I think it’s the best one so far. I really liked these characters. I found that I could sympathize with and understand Tess, and that helped me to fall into this book with reckless abandon. As with the previous books we see the world just a little bit differently because of these characters and I walked away from this book with a different perspective of the classic mythology that I love so much. Whether you root for the good guys or the bad (I’m still trying to figure out which is which) you will at the very least be entertained. I look forward to diving farther into this strange world with these magnetic characters.

Brody (Default Distraction Book 1) by A. S. Roberts – Review by Karyn Taylor

Brody (Default Distraction #1)Brody by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brody is the first book in the Default Distraction series by A.S. Roberts. If this first book is anything to go by, then this series is going to be right up there with my favourites. This is the first time I have read anything by this author and I’m so glad I took the chance with this book.
Heroine of the book is Amy Harper. Abandoned by her mother at the age of 10, Amy has been brought up by her Nan Vera. Now 33 and running her Nan’s failing shop, Amy just doesn’t let guys in. She has a huge wall built around her heart as she thinks everyone will eventually leave her.
Brody Daniels is the singer of top rock band Default Distraction. Like Amy, his mother walked out when he was a child. The HOT rock star, with a body like sin has women falling at his feet and he most certainly does not do the relationship thing. Woman are for one thing only. So why does everything he’s ever stood for totally change just by one glance of Amy?
Circumstances bring Amy and Brody together many times and the chemistry is sparking. Amy has no idea who he is (she thinks his name is Daniel) and Brody is ecstatic that Amy likes him as him, and not as Brody Daniels, singer of DD). Amy with her issues, keeps trying to run but Brody just won’t take no for an answer. As Amy finally gives into her feelings she finds out that Brody is not the guy she thought he was. Will Amy be able to forgive Brody for not being honest with her?
I absolutely adored this book. Brody and Amy are both so flawed but so prefect for each other. This story was beautiful and entertaining, backed up with fantastic support characters, who I’m sure will be the subject of the remaining books in this series. Books that I can’t wait to read.

Devil's Backbone (Wild Beasts Series Book 5)Devil’s Backbone by T. Birmingham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Devil’s Backbone is the most recent installment in T. Birmingham’s hot new paranormal romance series, the Wild Beasts series. Devil’s Backbone is the fifth book in the series, and the by far the best one, in my opinion. I absolutely adored this book and how each one just keeps getting better than the one before it. With higher stakes, bigger plots, more supernatural creatures than you can poke a stick at, and Benjamin Oliver to drool over. I really loved this wild ride of story and could really relate to Tess’s character and her super cool pet lizard, Todd. I really loved her journey and growth throughout the book, as well as Ben’s. Their characters are very well written and were a delight to read about. I highly recommend this fantastical series by T. Birmingham, each book can be read as a standalone, as each follows a different set of characters, but it’s better if you start at the beginning.
Overall I gave this book 4/5 stars.

A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George

5 Stars

Ok so first I’m wondering why I haven’t read anything by this author up to this point. This was an amazing book, one that totally messed with my mind.

I cant even go into any of the storyline because Im afraid I will say too much and that absolutely would not be fair to anyone thinking about reading this story., and you really must read this story.

My jaw is still on the floor, this author totally floored me and I LOVED it, that is one of my favorite things about reading is when I have no idea what’s going to happen and then I have to go back and reread while asking myself…Whoa…hold on…what did I just read.

I loved the friendship feel in this story as well as the family bonds and the whole meeting someone on FB and how true so much of that is.

I’m simply speechless and can not wait to go find more books by this author, I literally could not put this book down and if this is any indication of the writing style of this author…Count me in! I also want to mention how much I love the cover of this book..Just beautiful.

Holy Moly what a book!

Loved It!

The story Misfortune of Song: Druid’s Brooch Series: #5 by Christy Nicholas is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It is a story that had my emotions going up and down the whole time. It pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let go until you have finished the final page. The main characters are Maelan and his granddaughter Orlagh. Maelan is a man who does his duty and also has a code that he lives by. He loves and cares for his granddaughter, Orlagh. Orlagh is a young woman who finds herself in love with a bard. He makes her feel like no one else does and she is determined that they will be together. Orlagh shows herself to be stubborn and defiant in this matter. She rebels against her grandfather’s wishes. What does the future hold for Orlagh? How far is Maelan willing to go in order to save Orlagh? Read this book to find out. This story is wonderfully told and when reading I felt like I was right there with the characters. This story includes magic and the Fae. There are times when I wondered what was going to happen next. Reading this book transports you to a different time and setting. This is the fifth book in a series and can be read as a standalone. I would recommend reading it.

The story Devil’s Backbone (Wild Beasts Series Book 5) by T. Birmingham is a book that I loved reading. It has mystery, suspense, the paranormal, and romance. It draws you in from the very beginning and I found myself not able to put it down until I had finished the last page. The story had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the characters of Benjamin Oliver and Tess Thompson. Tess is a woman haunted by the past. She is someone who would rather read a book than be in a room full of people. Those she calls friends are few. She finds that something feels familiar when body parts start appearing, Ben is a protector. He has helped others for so long and had to be the strong one it is a role that he fits into. He finds himself wanting to protect Tess and keep her safe. Who is leaving the body parts that are showing up? Will they be caught? Benjamin and Tess feel a strong attraction to each other. Their emotions for each other are strong. Will they take a chance and act on their feelings? What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down with the characters. As I read more about Benjamin and Tess, I grew to care about them and wanted them to find happiness. This is a book that does a wonderful job of building a world that includes paranormal creatures and the supernatural. The story is written in such a way that I felt I was right there with the characters. I highly recommend reading it.

The story A Wicked Earl’s Widow (Once Upon A Widow Book 2) by Aubrey Wynne is a historical romance book. It is a story that I found a joy to read. There are characters that I loved reading about and also romance. It takes you on a journey back in time. The two main characters in this book are Eliza and Nathaniel. Eliza is a woman who has been widowed. She has a daughter and is under the protection of her in-laws. She also has a father who is cruel and abusive. Nathaniel is a man that has been successful in making his family’s name a respectable one. He is kind, caring, and handsome. Eliza and Nathaniel meet when he finds Eliza defending an elderly woman. These two have an attraction to one another. There is both passion and desire. Nathaniel is drawn to her. He wants to help her. Will Nathaniel learn of the dark secrets of Eliza’s past? Can he save her? What does their future hold? Read this book to find out. I loved the character of Eliza as she is sweet, caring, and has an inner strength that she doesn’t always realize. She is stronger than she gives herself credit for. She is someone that I grew to care for with each chapter that I read and wanted her to find happiness. There are other characters that are introduced. Many of them are enjoyable to read about and they help Eliza and Nathaniel. Then there are those who have their own plans and agenda. Will their plans be defeated? Don’t miss out on a story that will draw you in and keep your interest until the last page. I highly recommend reading it.

Hazed (The Hazed Series Book 1)Hazed by Brittany Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT BOOK! Hazed is the first book in the Hazed Series by Brittany Butler. This story follows Taylor Thompson in her journey to become her own person. Coming from a home where her father is a preacher and didn’t allow her to do anything on her own terms, Taylor moved an hour away to go to college so that she can become someone completely different. Boys were not even in her view at this point. She just wanted a different life. That is until she meets Hayze Clark at the bar she begins to work at. Hayze is the bartender and the local man whore. He has his own set of problems with his own father. He’s never wanted a relationship until he met Taylor. Now he wants it all…with her. This is such an emotional rollercoaster. So many twists and turns that you won’t expect. And of course…a cliff hanger! So yes, I cannot wait for the next book to come out! I love the characters in this book and I love the interactions between all the characters. This is really a great story! Definitely a book that I would recommend.

This series is so rich, so detailed – I jump into these pages and gladly walk with the characters while on these fantastic journeys of fantasy.

The plot moves steadily and is filled with a wonderful pace that keeps the reader fully engaged. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings by Maria F. DeBlassie is a collection of short musings from the author. She embraces the everyday things in life and brings that to her readers. This is a book that can be read a chapter at a time or all at one time. I like the author mentions things that we might take for granted and bring enchantment to them. She also is relatable. I read this during my lunches during a stressful week at work. I went back after lunch with a renewed sense of spirit and was able to finish my work day in a better mood and able to look at the little things differently.

A Person Could Disappear Here is an addictive novel that I could not put down. There is mention of rape, abduction, and abuse in this novel that one should be aware of before hand in case the reader is not a fan of something like that. There were several difficult scenes that I read through. My heart ached for main characters Abbey and Cristina. They both had their own forms of torture taking place in this novel. I really enjoyed the storyline though even if it was a bit darker than what I usually read. I do highly suggest this novel though!

A Person Could Disappear HereA Person Could Disappear Here
By: Terri George
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George was a raw realistic read, that will have you second guessing what you believe to be true, and have you wondering what you would do in Abbey’s shoes.

My first read by this author, and I have to say I’m going to be adding them to my watch list. This story was a tough one, it’s as I said, raw, emotional and has many grey areas. It makes you think, and it showcases the dangers of grooming and stockholm syndrome. It’s easy to judge when you’re not the one in the situation. Terri Geros did a wonderful job with this book, talented you can tell heavy research went into this read.

Told in dual POV, we not only get Abbey’s journal like entries we get her best friends Cristina’s. She truly shone and was a major driving force in this story. Relentless, nothing was going to stop her, and I loved that strong friendship and love. I liked how Addy’s story was told through the journal like entries, it felt more personal, and it makes you connects on a deeper level. It’s helps with the outside looking in, and it adds a layer of complexities to the plot, instead of you’re normal, disappear and find, type mysteries.

Overall this book is a super high recommendation from me, and it gets my stamp of approval. You will not regret this read, even if some parts will be harder to read then others, but that realism, that real world situation, makes this book more than a must read, but a necessity. It highlights the dangers that surround social media, fake personas, and how easy it is to completely have someone fall head over heels, not knowing what hells await.

Happy Reading
