My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Shadow’s Keep: A Novel by Meghan O’Flynn, 4 stars.

Deputy Sheriff William Shannahan struggles. There are many things holding him back. He feels like he is just playing a role. Until the vicious murders begin in their quiet little town. The first one is labeled a dog attack, but William has his doubts. He has a feeling there’s more to it. Can he discover what is really going on before even more bodies turn up? Or is it just his imagination, like everyone else seems to think?

This a suspense book like nothing I have read before. It is not what you think. It is very obvious from the beginning that William is quite broken. Everything he lived for is gone. But he still wants to serve and protect. So he tries to put aside his troubles for the better of his town. The story itself has William learning many things, taking him deeper into the mystery. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, guessing what it really going on until the end.

If you like suspenseful stories, this book is for you.

The Lies We TellThe Lies We Tell by Brittany Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Right off, I will tell you that if you are looking for a fluffy romance novel, this is not it. The Lies We Tell is full of dysfunctional characters and the sticky situations they get themselves into. Overall, the story was good, but I wasn’t really into the switching back and forth between the past and present. I would just be getting into the story and then it would change lanes, which works in some books, but I think a chronological telling would have been a smoother read.

The main character is…perpetually messed up and full of bad decisions. I really wanted to like her, but she comes across as a basket case. And the people she has in her life aren’t much better. I think this book shows just how important open and honest communication is in relationships, and just how devastating it is when people don’t have those skills.

While I wasn’t completely taken in by this book, the more down-to-earth story can be a good change of pace once in awhile.

The Lies We TellThe Lies We Tell by Brittany Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have not had the pleasure of reading anything by Brittany Butler before The Lies We Tell, but once I saw that catching cover and the luring blurbs I knew I had to give it a go. I am glad that I did. This was a different bit of a read for me. I knew that I wouldn’t really get along with or connect with the main character very much but still the concept was gripping. Natalie is a liar, and she has no problems admitting it. For me that would drive me nuts. She also has some serious communication issues but that may just be a personal opinion too I am not positive. So we follow the life of a liar, and it is pretty messy and entertaining. My only complaint would have to be the major time jumps. Several were just darn confusing as a reader to piece together. Otherwise I really enjoyed this and look forward to seeing what else is out there by Brittany Butler!

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Series Book 2) by T. Birmingham ~ Review by Liz Vrchota

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Book 2)Written in the Stars by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was hooked on the Fallen Eagles MC series by T. Birmingham with the very first look at book one, ‘A Terrible Beauty,’ and I have been stalking… watching like a well mannered fan, all things by T. Birmingham since! ‘Written in the Stars’ is the second book in the series and I would highly recommend that you read them in order for that full understanding and enjoyment. The characters do have some crossovers and I had a few a’ha moments that were because of reading the first book as well.

This book has a lot going on! Birmingham has a way of doing that. I wasn’t quite used to it with the first book but by now I am. She writes multi-level stories. While there is plenty of mystery and intrigue to keep you well in your toes from beginning to end, woven throughout is a tale of love and and the drama that life also spins into it. Reading one of Birmingham’s novels always promises to be something like a trip to the cinema in my mind, and this one did not disappoint at all!

I really enjoyed Eagle and Winter as the main characters. These two were a great balance for one another and it just worked. It wasn’t a contrived romance either, something I found rather refreshing! I absolutely can’t wait to find out what we will get with the next book in the series!

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Book 2)Written in the Stars by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Written in the Stars by T. Birmingham is the second book in the Fallen Eagles MC series. This book was so much more than I was expecting.

Winter and Davis are amazing together and were even before they were together. They seemed like two pieces of a whole and they worked for me.

Winter reminded me a bit of my younger daughter. She is sarcastic and hard to connect with emotional when she is feeling out of control. I think we all do it to some extent but Winter makes it an art.

Davis is truly a hero. After serving our Country and sacrificing so much during that time and getting hurt both physically and mentally. He didn’t allow any bitterness and anger change him for the worse.

I’m surprised how much I enjoyed this book and enjoying this series. It’s definitely not the typical MC series or least not like the ones I’ve read in the past and I like it.

5-stars

This book had me sitting on the edge of my seat from start to finish as I got so wrapped up in the story. This is the third book in the Surviving Series and my absolute favorite of this series and of these authors so far! I would highly suggest reading this series in order as each book follows the next.

I felt so invested in Ben, Jordan and Steel’s story that I read this book in record time as I couldn’t bring myself to put this book down. This story was action-packed, suspenseful, captivating, steamy, thrilling and so unbelievably entertaining.

I can’t wait to read book 4 to continue with this incredible series!

I spent a little bit of this book totally confused as to what was going on…when it finally sunk in I was totally hooked. I love this author and her creative storylines. After reading her Ash Park series I was already a forever fan and this one just strengthened that. One of the reasons I love this author so much is because she has taken a genre that I do not read and made me read it and look forward to reading more.

This one creeped me out a bit but I could not put it down, and as always I try to figure it out as I go…well I should have already known that wouldn’t work with this authors writing. The ending totally twisted me up and all the way through i would think aha I got it..just to say in the next few pages…no i don’t LOL

Not going to go into the details of this story..Read it, and if you feel a little confused at some points..Stick with it, it’ll all make sense I promise.

Loved it and can’t wait for more from this amazingly talented author!

The Way You Are (The Carolina Connections #5) by Sylvie Stewart

5 out of 5 stars

The Way You Are is the fifth book in the Carolina Connections written by Sylvie Stewart and I have read every book in this series and I loved them. Ms. Stewarts writing just gets better with each story/book. The characters are crazy but fun crazy that feed of the crazy. They are well developed and we even get to see our favorite couples from the first few books.
Brett MacKinnon, is a nice guy and a frequent resident of the friend zone. He has terrible taste in woman. So when Brett hears this tiny little girl with the booming voice he goes and talks to her. He is determined to ditch the friend zone and show her he is boyfriend material. Too bad the position’s already been filled by a ball-playing caveman who could flatten him with his pinky.
LIV: There are really only three things she needs in life: sex, baseball, and winning. Her hot boyfriend and season tickets take care of the first two, while she always do her best to cover the last. So developing an unexpected crush on a new friend is more than a little inconvenient. She doesn’t have anything but friendship to offer Brett, but with the way he looks at her, and makes her feel things he has her wishing she did.
BRETT: Has been put in the friend zone so often, they’ve got a sandwich named after him. You’d think he’d be used to it by now. But when it comes to the delectable Liv and he will pull out all the stops to show her he is the guy for her.
Can Brett get out of the friend zone what will it take for Liv to see him more than a friend? You will have to read this great book to find out.
I highly recommend this book/series…

The Way You Are (The Carolina Connections, #5)The Way You Are by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Way You Are was a good 4 star read and book five in the Carolina Connections series.

Brett meets Liv at a baseball game but quickly finds out that she has a boyfriend who plays for the team. Brett was quickly put in the friend zone with Liv.

The friendship grows between these two and his attraction to Liv continues to grow. And the jealousy continues to build from Troy, he doesn’t like Liv hanging out with Brett. The best I could hope for was that she’d eventually lose interest in Troy and decide she liked me instead – Brett

While out with a bunch of his friends Brett witnesses something that changes everything. He talks to Liv’s cousin letting him know what he saw. Could this be his chance to finally have Liv for himself?

There are some more unexpected twists and turns that added a great element to the story. I also had several LOL moments. Overall I really liked Brett and Liv’s story. Sylvie Stewart pulls you in with her writing, I look forward to reading more from her.

The Lies We TellThe Lies We Tell by Brittany Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A plot twist? In a book about lies? What?!
But seriously, I did not see that coming and it made up for almost everything else I wasn’t too fond of.
Natalie is a liar. It’s pretty helpful as an author, I would imagine. But she lies about everything and honestly it got old after a while. The lies were something I could relate to since I was a pretty big liar as a child and it would be about the most ridiculous things that I didn’t need to lie about but it would make whatever situation I was currently in just a little bit easier. As with our lovely main character Natalie, it doesn’t hold up well in the long run. SOOOO many of her problems could have been solved with a short conversation and although I know this is how Natalie operates, but this is really similar to when characters make stupid decisions for drama’s sake. Not a fan of that. This instance is a bit different since Natalie has always been like this but still.
The story gets pretty intense and the twist is worth it.

The Lies We TellThe Lies We Tell by Brittany Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“There is no room for your past when you have a new future.”

“The past doesn’t matter… It is just a part of the lies we tell”

“He ages like fine wine. I, on the other hand, age with Botox.”

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it was almost like a “blind date” read because the blurb is so vague (I really like the blurb doesn’t explain the whole book). THE LIES WE TELL focuses on one main character with three very important secondary characters who move the story along. It is told in single POV in past and present tense. While tense is always mentioned at the beginning of a new chapter, there were times when I didn’t know whose past we were going to be reading about – or what timeframe. I had to slow down and pay attention so I would know who I was reading about.

It is a well thought out story and I was surprised by the weight of the story. This book isn’t all fluff and romance. There are certain times in the story that I wanted to throw my Kindle against the wall because I did not like what was going on and there were times I wanted to shake them all and tell them to move along and don’t look back. In the end, this was a satisfying read.

I give THE LIES WE TELL 4 super solid stars.

Shadow’s Keep: A Novel
By Meghan O’Flynn
Rated 4 stars

This story was a shock to me and my mind is still reeling with the possibilities. I never figured this out. This is a perfectly weaved story of suspense. It opens my eyes to a darker side of life. It’s is a typical Meghan O’Flynn book with amazing characters you want to love and shows the harshness of the world and what happens when those two meet.

The characters are light and fluffy on the surface. It’s the story behind their smile that get me. My main emotion was hope but then it turned to shock while reading. This is very smoothly written and easy to read and follow along. All of this easily draw me into the story and the “unknown” keeps me coming back.

I was left with a few unanswered questions. Things I couldn’t figure out how they happened. I could have missed the answers but I’m not sure. Still a freakishly good story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Way You Are by Sylvie Stewart is book five of the Carolina Connections series. This book is Liv and Brett’s story. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put the book down.

Liv is smart and knows want she needs out of life. When she meets Brett, she immediately friend zoned him. She has her boyfriend and baseball, she’s good. That is until she realizes she’s starting to crush on him. Brett is used to being friend zoned. He’s always the friend. This time however, it’s not going to work for him. He has feelings for Liv and he won’t be just the friend. Will Brett get Liv to take him out of the friend zone?

I loved these characters and found myself rooting from them right from the beginning. They experience so many different emotions and turmoil, it was hard not to feel that with them. This book was great and I’m glad I read it!

Flash Point (Nite Fire, #1)Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nite Fire: Flash Point is the first book in the two part book Nite Fire by C. L. Schneider. This book is a shifter book which means it has fantasy, mystery, magic, dragons, and of course shifters. This story took me on a wild roller coaster ride. There isn’t a dull moment in the story. The characters are developed and not only are the primary characters awesome in the story so are the secondary. I love how Schneider interwove the “human” world with in the story. Dahlia Nite is a shifter but she is also an assassin. There is an execution warrant out for her and that is how she ends up in the “human” world. It is there were she uses her specialty to help people. Will Dahlia be found? Will she be able to help those around her? Read this story to find out. You may want to have a good amount of time to read because you will want to finish the book in one sitting.

Once again Virginia Wine has changed my mind again about which book is my favourite. Surviving Jordan has got to be the best one. I was totally pulled into this read and captivated until the end! This author has an incredible writing style that will pull you in from just reading the blurb, then really holds you captive as you follow the journey of the two main characters Ben & Jordan. This book takes you on a rollercoaster of a journey with romance and suspense.

These two characters have an intense passion and an immediate connection. You couldn’t help but hope they got a HEA.
This truly has been another incredible addition to this series, and I cannot wait to see how much further this author can take this series! She has outdone herself again and I cannot wait to experience more from here, Until then do not miss this book!

Killer Lawyer was an exciting and gripping read and one that I really enjoyed. It’s not my usual reading genre but I have read work by this author before and I was gripped by what I read so I was happy to give his work one more try and again I was so glad I did.
The author has created such a multi-dimensional story that I just couldn’t put it down; he kept me guessing the whole way through with his rich detailed writing full of twists and turns. The multiple points of view in the story give for a full rounded read and the characters, as expected, were well developed.
I really like Jake’s character, he is a determined person and very meticulous in what he does. I love his ‘relationship’ with Cody! I love the way people form such close bonds with their dogs.
Overall I thought that this was a great read, one that definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. I will definitely be looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

Surviving Jordan (Surviving Series Book 3)Surviving Jordan by Virginia Wine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surviving Jordan is the 3rd book in the Surviving Series by Virginia Wine. Each book focusses on a different couple but the main group of characters appear in all books and there is a progression of the storyline, so this series should be read in order to avoid any confusion and possible spoilers. I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed. The characters and the storylines are so well written, you will devour these books and be totally sucked in.
Surviving Jordan focusses on Ben (brother of Alex from Surviving The Storm) and Jordan, his boss. Ben and Jordan have both been head over heels in love with each other for over 10 years. Jordan is sick of waiting for Ben to do something about it and has decided to give up on him and move on. Unknown to Jordan, Ben’s father left him a letter when he died saying that Jordan was Ben and Alex’s sister. On seeing that Jordan was moving on Ben decides to get his father’s body exhumed to do a DNA test in the hope that his father may have been wrong.
So are Ben and Jordan actually siblings? Can either of them actually move on and put aside the strong feelings they have for each other? If they are not actually siblings, has Ben left it too late? Read this awesome book (and the 2 books that come before it) to find out. I promise that this series will not disappoint.

Nite Fire: Flash Point is the first book in the Nite Fire series by C.L. Schneider. This is the fourth book I have read by this author, which I believe is the total books written so far. I have to say that the world building and character development is well beyond the usual talent of a new author. This book is amazingly detailed and flowed smoothly throughout. I was hooked on the very first page and couldn’t put this book down. The story is filled with action, suspense and mystery. Dalia Nite has fled her home planet and taken up residence in the human world. She is isolated and protecting the humans without their knowledge for them allowing her to stay in relative peace. Things start to get messy when more non human creatures start causing trouble, but will Dalia be able to solve the mystery?
This is a great book and if you like paranormal, I highly recommend this book. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Surviving Jordan is book three in the Surviving series by Virginia Wine. And just like the drink, these stories get keep getting better. I absolutely adore each couple, and each story is unique in itself, although sharing characters from previous books. The author weaves such a tantalising tale, it is hard to predict what readers may be blessed with next.

Ben and Jordan are quite the complex couple. Apart despite the exhausting attraction that ignites years before, and the flame has not once dwindled. The heat has only intensified over time. A dastardly secret keeps them apart, but for how long??

Their love was a thing of beauty. Their story beguiling and dangerous. Their journey long and arduous. Their strength immeasurable. Their bond unbreakable. Their ending, Everything. I loved this instalment and did not want it to end. A new amazing story to be added to the unforgettable list. 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great read about being different. Deputy Sherriff William Shannahan is a police officer in a small sleepy town in America. His life is changed when he stumble over a mauled body of a kid in the woods whilst out running. Everyone else thinks it is simply a dog attack, but William senses something just isn’t right. His fears are confirmed when what was one attack turns into a series of murders even crossing counties. Can he solve the mystery before the killer strikes again?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. The use of suspense was drawn out to perfection making you want to keep reading to find out what happened.
Well developed characters like Will trying his best but still standing up for himself or Cassie trying to look after her son despite financial troubles. Great cast of supporting characters like the sweet kid of George or the prickly Paterson or the people pleaser Mike.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel in the natural imagery of the woods full of volour and life and detail and beauty but also hiding dangers. Or the sense of the small town surrounded by farmland and marshes where everyone knows eachother but is also isolated, a perfect setting for the horror events. Or the sunrise and sunsets in vibrant colours and beauty written to perfection. or the contrasts between light and dark that were perfectly written and use of shadows to gice an eerie sense to events.
I loved the use of the supernatural throughout the novel with a mix of cultures and red herrings an added sense of mystery and magic. This combination with the realism of policemen and crimes ws perfectly written and made for a enjoyable read. Fast paced action with high stakes make for a highly captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

Surviving the Storm by Virginia Wine is the second book in the Surviving Series and I think it may be my favorite so far. Alex was very appealing in the first book. In this book it his appeal is multiplied a hundred times.

Alex has a giant chip on his shoulder and we learn why it’s there. Horrible childhood memories have a horrible way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it. I love Alex’s relationship with his brother Ben. Ms. Wine captured the brother relationship so well.

Madison is an amazing woman and I’m so glad Theo found her and brought her into his life. She really impressed me and wish more young woman were like her. She seems to love with her whole heart and will do anything for those she loves.

This is a great series so far and looking forward to the next book.

The Way You Are (The Carolina Connections, #5)The Way You Are by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Way You Are by Sylvie Stewart is the fifth book in the Carolina Connections series. I loved this book for so many different reasons. First I loved Tambo, Liv’s dog. He made me smile every time.

Second I loved Brett, he wasn’t the stereotypical leading male character. He wasn’t a giant who’s muscles had muscles. What he was is a caring man who knows how to treat a woman. Any Mom would be proud to have him date their daughter.

Liv was funny and a proud baseball fan (Go Cubs!) who doesn’t allow anyone to intimidate her, well almost anyone.

It was great catching up with everyone and seeing where they are now in their relationships. I hope the next book comes out soon.
