Hazed (The Hazed Series Book 1) by Brittany Butler – Review by Sheri Schrader

Hazed (The Hazed Series Book 1)Hazed by Brittany Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hazed by Brittany Butler is the first book in the Hazed series. This is an intense book that deals with college independence, romance, opposites attracting, and addiction. The story is about Taylor who has left home and the strict rules she is used to following. She meets Hayze, who is a bartender where she works. There is an attraction that can not be ignored.
The story is interesting and kept me wanting to read to find out what happens to them. I did not necessarily relate but can understand that first taste of independence that Taylor is experiencing. Some of the topics were really tough to read about but were a necessary part of the story. It lent itself to the ups and downs and emotions of the characters. Overall, I enjoyed this book and will be looking for the next book to continue the story.

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

Misfortune of Song (Druid's Brooch #5)Misfortune of Song by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With cross generational clashes, Fae, and a plot you could get whiplash from, Christy Nicholas has added another winner to the Druid’s Brooch series. I hadn’t read a book from this series in a while and after I finished this one, now I want to go back and read the others all over again.
I am in love with all things Celtic so the traditional names, places, and mythology draw me in from the get go. However, people who aren’t as well versed will still find this story and the rest of the series to be in a fantastic world that will draw you in like quicksand.
Maelan’s confliction over letting his granddaughter, Orlagh, live her own life and make her own choices is a subject that every parent/grandparent will struggle with and how Christy expertly blends it into 12th century Ireland was my absolute favorite part of the plot line. The fights with the Fae are fantastic, don’t get me wrong. But the teenage struggles for independence and personal autonomy have always been fascinating to me and I love seeing it in this light and time period.

The fifth installment in the Druid’s Brooch series can easily be read as a standalone but I highly recommend the series.

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

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

Devil’s Backbone (Wild Beasts #5) by T. Birmingham is a great story in this amazing series. It is a paranormal fantasy romance like no other and in this book the main female character is broken and scarred for life and will invoke many, many, emotions. It is a story that will make your heart ache but it will also make your heart melt. T’s writing is made of magic and her imagination knows no bound when it comes to the paranormal. There is also some folk lore woven amongst the story that makes it that more interesting and unique.

Tess is damaged and in hiding from the horrors she that were inflicted upon her by a family that should have loved her. Many years later she still hides from herself, others and especially the man she loves. Will she be strong enough when she once again comes face to face with that past?

There is mayhem and madness, suspense and action, magic and steam that will have you constantly on the edge of your seat. This series is not to be missed.

Back in the Ring (The Predator Series Book 4) by Brooke May – Review by Jessica Leombruno

Back in the RingBack in the Ring by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Back in the Ring by Brooke May was my first book this author, it might be the fourth book in the Predator series but you don’t need to read the other to fall in love with this wonderful second chance romance. Bijou Augustine is a young widow who’s struggling to keep her husband youth center running while raising her “tween” daughter. Everyone in her small town is telling Bijou to sell the center but she is very determined to keep her husband’s dream alive. Can a stranger willing to help out at the center, be the second chance Bijou needs?

From the prologue to the epilogue you will go through some many emotions and feel everything Bijou and Noah go through. I am always a little nervous reading a new author because you don’t know what their writing style is like. But I can honestly say this Brooke’s writing flowed easily and kept me flipping the pages. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George is a suspense thriller and Wow, my mind is officially blown. Never in a million years would I have predicted the ending. Wow, just Wow. So not what I expected. The storyline is like nothing I have read or imagined. It is a gripping and captivating tale that is raw and powerful and also sinister in its development. Terri has masterfully woven the threads of this tale and turned it on it’s head. It is not an easy read but there is no putting it down as you have to know, you need to know how it ends. Emotionally you will not be the same. On the edge of my seat was an understatement. Heart beating in my chest with thoughts of fight or flight in my head I continued on and once again, WOW. The things we do for love.

I am not going to talk about the plot, which is so clever, I will leave it for you to read and enjoy on your own.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sonya Jesus has once again blown me away with another incredibly captivating read in the Knights Series.
Knights Who Won My Heart picks up straight after where book 3 ends. You are thrown back into this book that’s full to the brim with twists and turns, nail-biting and edge of your seat thrilling action that hooks you right from the start. This is one book that giving too much away in a review will really give it all away, this is a book that is meant to be read by all! This should be read as part of the series for the full effect of brilliance that comes from this powerful, engaging read. The characters are strong & real they face emotional rollercoasters throughout that at times are raw but this book wouldn’t be the same without it!

I cannot wait to see what else is to come from this author. But with that being said, this book shouldn’t be missed and neither shall the series! Don’t miss it!

By: Terri George
5 out of 5 stars

The story A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George is a book that has mystery and suspense. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let go until you have read the final page. It tells the tale of Abbey who learns that the man she met online and now has come to see in person is not who she thought he was. She finds herself abducted and held in a house in Nebraska. Far from home, she holds onto the hope of rescue and also looks for ways to escape. Cristina is Abbey’s best friend. She knows that something is wrong when she doesn’t hear from Abbey and can’t contact her. Cristina is stubborn, feisty, and not afraid to say what she thinks. She is also kind and won’t back down when she sets her mind to a task. She goes to the states in search of Abbey. Will Cristina be able to find the clues that will lead her to Abbey? Will Abbey be rescued? Read this book to find out. Following Cristina, while she tries to find Abbey is like trying to put together a puzzle. This is an exciting read that had my emotions going up and down all the time. Cristina and Abbey are best friends and you can feel how much they care about each other. There is emotional and intense dialogue. This is a book that I would recommend reading.

A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George. This book is amazing. It hooks you as soon as you read the first chapter. Its the story of Abbey who lives in London and just like every other young girl in the world is looking for love. She meets a guy named Jensen from Denver on Facebook who she corresponds with for a lengthy period of time. He finally convinces her to fly to Denver to meet him.. Her best friend and flat mate Christina is totally against this. Once Abbey gets to Denver and meets Jensen he seems to be everything she’s looking for until he’s not. Parts of the book are brutal but so true to life. This is something that could happen in today’s crazy world. Its about friendship and the depths that a friend will go to in order to save her friend. This book was amazing and I read it in one sitting. I’m going to look up all Ms. George’s books and read them.

Misfortune of Song is the fifth book in the Druid’s Brooch series. It can be read as a standalone.

The author has done a superb job of weaving an enchanting story. The characters come alive on the pages and the plot sucks you in. I loved the strength and sassiness of the main character, Orlagh, even though she does show her youth by making some rash decisions. There are many twists and turns to the story and everything may not be as it seems.

Misfortune of Song is a great tale of young love, heartbreak, betrayal, magic, and adventure.

This is a good strong start to a interesting story. I was drawn in right from the prologue and it didn’t let go until the end. This is filled with action, suspense and wonderment. These four have quite an adventure ahead of them! I am excited to read the second in the series to find out what happens next.

This is my first book by this author. The story flowed and engaged nicely and had ups and downs. The characters were easy to identify with and seemed fun and they acquired some exciting powers. I can’t wait to see how they are able to use them in a real world scenario. I enjoy the identifying markers that make these four different. What can they do in the future?

Yearning Young (Burning Britely Book 2)Yearning Young by Deidre Huesmann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed Yearning Young, the second book of the Burning Britely series from Deidre Huesmann. I would recommend that you read the first book before you jump into this one, just to kind of have and idea where things are and who the characters are. This continues with the coming of age theme for Jeff and Braeden, only told from Braeden’s point of view this time. I really enjoyed that twist and seeing things from his angle. This does touch on several emotional and touchy topics that are often overlooked or not discussed enough among teens or young adults like they should be and like I mentioned in my review of the first book this would be a great tool to introduce the topic among classes or children of your own etc. I love how Huesmann keeps things realistic and raw without drowning out the the topics at hand, and yet she keeps the storyline at the forefront to keep the reader fully engrossed. I can’t wait to see what is to come next! Thanks for the emotional and thought provoking read Ms. Huesmann!

I truly don’t know where to start with Knights Who Won My Heart, or better yet I don’t know the exact words that I am looking for that will do this book the justice that I want to give it in this review. I have followed this series from the very first book, Knights After My Heart, which I suggest is where you start if you have not read the full series, and then complete them in order for the best experience. You will want to grow along with the Lia and the rest of the characters that you will get to meet and fall in love with. I absolutely just could not put this down till I found out how things would turn out for everyone in the end. My only sadness comes from the fact that this is the conclusion of the series. I do however look forward to finding out what we will get next from Sonya Jesus. Whatever it is, I am sure it will be as fantastic as this series if not better!

First I would highly recommend reading this series in order as this picks up after book 1 ends.
In book 1, we follow Jeff, and now we get to follow Braeden. He intrigued me in the first book so getting to to see more was welcomed.
While I can’t give too many details as this is best read as the story progresses, I just have to say how much this book made me feel. While I know this is fiction, it just brings to light that these things do happen in everyday life and some may not ever show they have a life like this behind closed doors.

This was a really great read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yearning Young by Deidre Huesmann is a beautifully written young adult story about life and what it means to be different. This is the second book in the Burning Britely series. The emotions I had reading this story were very real and my heart hurt for Braeden. The story is from Braeden’s point of view and he is dealing with all the hormones of being a teenager and being “different” from others. One thing I love about Braeden is no matter what life throws at him, he always sees the good in the moment. This story is about friendship, loyalty, strength, weakness, and pain. It is one that I recommend all teenagers read that maybe one day they will understand the pain and suffering of other people’s actions.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Protector: Mac is the first book in the Cover Six Security series by author Lisa B. Kamps. I probably would have given this book a fifth star had I known that there was a prequel to it. While it can be read as a standalone the first couple chapters left me feeling like I was missing a good chunk of the storyline.
Once I got past that point though I genuinely was sucked into the story. Tabitha (TR) is a reporter working on a little story for her paper when all of a sudden inexplainable things start happening to her. Gordon “Mac” Macgregor is former military and part of Cover Six Security Company and he’s vowed to protect TR no matter what.
This story packs a punch and has a little bit of everything that makes a good book…action, intrigue, romance…now if I had only known about the prequel. I will have to check it out while I wait for the next installment of the series.

Four friends named Gemma, Allie, John and Timothy have been close for years. They all happen to have a platinum streak of hair near the base of their necks and they all have a ring around their iris in one eye, weird quirks they never gave much thought to before. That is until they are in the local park after dark and discover a mysterious door in the woods. “The Chosen” is a wonderful opening story to what I can already tell will be an amazing series! I am a HUGE fan of sci-fi, especially historical sci-fi and this book really spoke to my kind of nerd! Cari Schaeffer is building a fascinating world of powerful orbs, secret societies and the four teenagers who are “The Chosen!” Do yourself a favor and just read this book to find out what I mean! This book was a little short for me, since I love getting lost for days in a story, but I can tell it will all be worth the wait. Here is hoping Cari Schaeffer can deliver soon since I will be eagerly waiting the next installment in The Orb Quest Series! Five stars from me!!

What started as a small hunt for something to warm my heart on a cold winter night, something maybe within the seasonal feel, not only led me to this wonderful novel, Love on the Line but Love on a Limb, which started it all for me. I have been quite speechless actually for the words to do proper justice to not only my feelings that I have but those that are provoked while reading the book. I do know for sure that I will not go into details, that is one thing you will need to dive into not just this book, but also Love on a Limb for yourself in order to truly appreciate the journey to be had. Matt and Mikayla will definitely make sure you feel the gambit of emotions though, tears included if you are anything like myself, so you will want to have those comfort items and a box of tissues to keep you company while you read. My only complaint it that this is over, but I am for sure ordering hard copies now so that they can grace my bookshelves and I can hold them and enjoy these beauties whenever I need my emotions ruffled. I can’t wait to see what will come next from Laurie Lewis! Thank you so much for this fantastic read!

Back in The Ring is the 4th book in the Predator Series by Brooke May. Although characters re-occur, each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone. I had not previously read any of the other books I this series before reading this one and I did not feel that I was missing any important information needed for this book. Having read, and really enjoyed this book, I would now like to go back and read the previous books.
Bijou Augustine is a widow who is struggling to keep the children’s centre that she opened with her late husband open. The building is in need of major repairs which the centre is unable to afford.
Enter her knight in shining armour, Noah Stone who has moved to the area with his toddler son Holder, to start afresh after the tragic death of his wife the previous year.
The chemistry between the 2 of them is sizzling from their very first meeting. They very quickly start dating and are both head over heels for each other. BUT…Noah is hiding something, he is constantly on edge and checking out his surroundings. Who, or what is he hiding from? Will his secret tear apart the wonderful new relationship he has with Bijou? Obviously I’m not going to give away the answers, you’ll need to read this amazing love story to get the answers. I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

WOW! I’m at a loss with this series. This 4th installment was pretty fantastic and the story is amazing. I really hope there will be another book.

I can’t divulge too much information because there is so much that I didn’t see coming and I don’t want to spoil anything. This book really finally closes in on who Hawk is and how much of a psycho he is. Poor Lia is over here still struggling with her relationships still and the friends she has around her, fending off Hawk when he always seems to be around and struggling with Robin’s accident and impending death. Hawk is truly crazy in that throughout the whole series I really did think he was some sort of prince or king the way he was speaking of himself, come to learn he is really just delusional.

The secondary characters, Dylan, Aiden, Harper etc. are so extremely important in this story as they work together to try and find the person killing all of their friends and ruining their lives as well as trying to protect Lia. I love the bond these kids all share and develop and their fierce protection over each other in their small group of friends.

I can’t say it enough, this story was pure genius to me. The characters are so well developed and the story flows so nicely, and there is so much excitement that I could not put this book down. There are so many twists and turns and so much that I did not see coming at all, especially in regards to Aiden, Dylan and Robins. The way this book ended I am hoping with all my heart that Sonya will continue this series because I see so much more drama, crazy and romance in the future.

This is my second read by this author and although it’s not my pick of the two I still completely enjoyed it. I did find it a bit hard to follow in some places and it felt like it jumped around a bit too fast and wasn’t as smooth flowing as the first book I read of hers, which was one of my favorites last year.

I still completely enjoyed this story line and think I actually finally understand the title, which drew me in immediately. I did LOL a few times while reading and also felt like slapping a few people at the same time. But I will say this had one of the better endings I’ve read in a long time. I can’t wait to read more by this author, I actually have another ready to go on my kindle and have a couple others I must read.

This was an awesome book and I do highly recommend it.

Age of Saints (Druid’s Brooch Series Book #7) by Christy Nicholas – Review by Angela Hayes

Age of Saints (Druid's Brooch #7)Age of Saints by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Age of Saints is the seventh book in the Druid’s Brooch Series by Christy Nicholas. This book takes us further back in the sequence of events, giving us a new perspective on some of the characters, events, magic, and that has driven this story/series. It is primarily an historical fantasy- with paranormal elements, drama, adventure, action, romance, magic, family, duty/responsibility, bonds, and so much more. This book has an M/M romance too, which sets it apart from others in the series.
This story has its own unique identity, but also ‘fits’ wonderfully well with its companions in the collection. As with all the other books in this series, I really love all the attention to detail and the vividly descriptive storytelling that Ms. Nicholas excels at- it brings her stories to life and makes them very realistic, believable, and entirely captivating- and she always delivers a really well written tale. Each book in the series is fascinating on its own, but then you begin to realise that each one contributes a fragment in a bigger picture that is being revealed. Each book draws you in and gets you wondering right from the start. Superb!
The character/s are complex, fully realised individuals who are so cleverly crafted- with interesting and likeable (or detestable natures)- as the author is easily able to sway you one way or another.
I can’t wait to continue this series!

Thank you, Ms. Nicholas!
