Grave Digger Academy IV by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I feel this is a better story than the last couple. It was a little sporadic in the beginning but once it got rolling it was wonderful! I was completely glued to the story and trying to figure out what is going to happen. The secondary characters are starting to fill out and become full of life. Plus we are seeing more out of Makayla. Who can she trust and who is part of the problem? I was unhappy with the way the story stopped but it leaves me wanting more!

Children of the Wild (Children of the Wild Series) by Krysta Tawlks – Review by Amanda Swindle

Children of the Wild by Krysta Tawlks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Children of the Wild is the first book I have read by Krysta Tawlks and a book my middle-grade kids will love! (I always read books before them, you never know what someone might sneak in, and I am a horror lover so have been properly traumatized lol). This book is a historical fantasy that is full of coping with all the big emotions kids go through, such as anger and love. The characters and settings are written so well and beautifully that you can really see yourself in the story, even with all the fantastical creatures. I really loved that the story deals with a young boy that has a lot of self doubt but learns to find himself. This is such a great under-lying lesson in a wonderful story and I hope to pick up more by this author! Very well done!

Lottery of Secrets by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Lottery Series. This is a psychological Thriller with lots of twists and turns. I was gripped from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. I like the first book that it’s part of a series and was left with an open ending so i can’t wait to find out what happens next.
My heart went out to Lynn. She has a traumatic and a scary life living with her partner is abusive. It’s been a tough life walking on eggshells to avoid beatings. And now she has found out that she is dying of cancer.
When she finally gets some good luck in the form of a lottery win, Lynn knows what she must do to make sure she can die in peace and that isn’t leave it to her abusive partner.
However once he finds out about the win he starts making plans that Lynn has no intention of making happen.
As Lynn struggles with her illness while sorting out her win there is more dangerous elements. At first Lynn was sure it would be her partner that would kill her for the money, however things take a sinister turn when a stranger becomes an even bigger risk and threat to her life.
How far are they prepared to go to get their hands on Lynn’s money.

This is a story of danger, angst, secrets and lies which makes it a rollercoaster of a read.

A King So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

‘A King so savage’ by April Moran is the first book in the ‘Savage duet’ series and I am already on the hunt for book – As I NEED to know what happens next. This book is a hot and streamy page tuner!!!

Kingston aka King is owed money by Ava’s brother. So he kidnaps her to try to get her brother to pay up the millions that he owes.

Meanwhile he locks Ava in a cell and tries to fight his overwhelming attraction and affection towards her. Lots of action packed sex scenes without actually having penetrative sex so Ava’s virginity remains intact.

The Uncrowned King (The Blood Prince Series) by Ayla Marie – Review by Jenni Bishop

December 14, 2023/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Jenni Bishop

The Uncrowned King by Ayla Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Uncrowned King is the second book in the deliciously dark The Blood Prince trilogy by Ayla Marie. I was introduced to Ayla when I read her first book The Blood Prince and said she is one author to watch, and she certainly is. She is still in high school, but her work is wonderful, and she has a great knack at storytelling.
The Uncrowned King is another intriguing YA fantasy and shows Ayla Marie’s natural talent. Even though it is a YA story it can be read by anyone of any age. I am 61 and I enjoyed it.
It is an interesting tale that you won’t be able to put down. The world building is spot on, and the story became so engrossing that the pages kept on turning. Sleep is overrated anyway. Ayla is just as good if not better than some of the seasoned authors I have read.

This is a great read that is action packed with lots of danger and hidden agendas, drama with lots of twists and turns that will have your heart pumping and you will be on the edge of your seat.
I am not giving away any spoilers because it is a story that should be explored on your own. Do yourself a favour and delve into the world of The Blood Prince.
Can’t wait for the next book.

Seraphina by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s been a while since I have enjoyed the goings on of the Brookes Cupid’s and was excited when I saw this new book out. These Cupids have all the right intensions but not everything goes to plan. You will fall in love with them and their quirky ways.
Seraphina is the fourth book in the wonderful romantic comedy The Heartstrings Series. The books in this series are funny, fun, original and refreshing.
This story that drew me in from the start and I found myself getting lost in the story. It’s easy to get lost in the story and you can’t help but fall in love with this quirky cupid. Laughing out loud with her antics as she tries to right her wrongs.
Seraphina is not like the other cupids; she is fiery and sassy and is determined to help this hockey superstar who is full of himself find love. If it means she has to knock him over the head with whatever she has to get him off his high and mighty pedestal she will.
Seth thinks he is all that but all that has gotten him in trouble on more than one occasion, not that he cares. Let the mayhem begin!
Grab a drink and settle in for an entertaining afternoon read.

The Befallen by Cambria Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to admit I love finding new authors and books. This was definitely one great find. I love to be plunged into the dark fantasy world that this author has created. I like the fact that the main character has a disability and will not let it hold her back. I love how the author is able to bring the characters to life. The story is created and it unfolds leaving me wanting more. I really did not want to put this book down and I really cannot wait to read more from this author. This was a great diversion from my total favorite genre of paranormal romance.

Unexpected by Laylah Abrams. I truly loved this modern day twist romance. Its the story of Claire Morgan who is a heiress and she has a fake social profile. She is not the air headed, shallow girl that she leads people to believe she is. Nick Holden is a struggling artist/waiter who is trying not to lose his scholarship.

They have so much in common though and the more time they spend together the more they realize they enjoy each other’s company.

Will they be able to make their relationship last and go against the society rules? Read this fun romance to find out!

Festive Fates: 11 Spirited Holiday Tales by Natalie Palma
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this anthology of festive reads. It has really put me in the Christmas spirit. There are 11 stories by 11 different authors all of who have a different and unique tale to tell but each one is entertaining and enjoyable.
There are several types of stories in this book from sci-fi fantasy and paranormal to historical, Romance and mystery.
There is literally something for everyone no matter what type of story you enjoy reading.

While I don’t have a favourite out of these collection because they were all unique and I loved them all in different ways, it has definately helped increase the overall feeling of Christmas spirit and the magic of this time of year.

One of the stories that really spoke to me was Unwrapping The True Spirit by Electra Gajdos. This is a beautiful story about the Keen family and their journey to find the true meaning of Christmas. It is full of drama, mischief and pranks and really brings the true meaning for Christmas and more importantly the meaning of time with your family to light.

This anthology will be one that I pick up and read every Christmas from now on.

This book is a fun and entertaining cozy mystery story that really pulls you in right from the word go. The main character for me is absolutely what makes this book. She is so funny to read about and I connected with her so easily. It is such fun watching her navigate everything thrown on her and I could have carried on reading all day.
The story itself is really good too. I was intrigued by everything going on and want to see how things would turn out and who would be involved. This is the kind of book I found myself reading so fast because I couldn’t put it down. This is a brilliant story and entertaining from start to finish.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a sweet and brilliant book that is design to reaffirm a child’s belief in themselves. Although the book focuses on a young Asian boy, the affirmations can easily be applicable to all children. In today’s world, children rarely seem to get to hear how well they are doing, and how great they are. This book is perfect for reinforcing that concept and is a great book to read together as a family.
I read this with both of my children and they each seemed to take away different things from it. This is a fantastic book that I would urge everyone to read.

What an entertaining and totally unputdownable mystery. I found April May to be one the most intriguing characters that I’ve read in a cozy mystery this year. She’s torn between wanting to go back to the big city and staying in the small town she’s in. Wesley sounds like an adorable vet. My mind pictures Mat from Fuller House. Adorable. I loved the mystery because it seemed to have its own little subsets branching out. The cast of characters was perfect for a small town mystery. I couldn’t stop reading this once I started. It’s fun, humorous and will have you giggling as you figure out who the culprit is. A wonderful book. I’m going to have to go back and read the first book.

Seraphina by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely adore the Cupid series. Seraphina had me chuckling. She’s a little grumpy because she’s stuck with Josh again. She’s tried twice to match him to no avail. Maybe the third time will be the charm. I found this story quite entertaining. You felt like you were right there, whether it was with Seraphina, Seth, or Marron. It’s humorous and serious at the same time. As a society, there is a fascination with celebrities. We want to see and imagine what it’s like to have what they have. I enjoyed this story because it fed that fascination. Seraphina brings together two people with their own sets of issues and it somehow all worked out fine after some guided adventures. It can be read as a standalone. I recommend the whole series. They are all wonderful.

Unclutter (Inner Voice Book 1) by Winnie D Pagora. This is a young adult very traumatic read. Its the story of Tina Lauren who is a survivor of sexual abuse. She is attacked by powerful and wealthy Nicholas Parker and when she stands up for herself it becomes even worse. So all Tina’s life she has been abused by men on different levels. She is so traumatized that she acts out in different ways such as cutting. Letting the abuse get in her head she believes she doesn’t deserve any better so she keeps getting herself into these situations. Rory and Jai are Tina’s friends and they are what help keep her sane. Then she meets Ekon and he is cute and friendly and she actually really likes him. This is a wonderful book full of deeply tragic things but shows that Tina with the help of her friends can survive this hard life she has been given. There are some triggers in this read so be prepared and its also very emotional at times. Such a good story that probably happens in real life a lot more than we want to believe.

Encounters With Old Coyote by Laura Koerber – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Encounters with Old Coyote by Laura Koerber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Encounters With Old Coyote is a collection of thirteen short stories featuring Old Coyote that was first introduced in previous books written by this talented author. It has emotion, loss, grief, hope, paranormal elements, magical realism, shapeshifters, and spirits. The story centers around the character of Andrea who found out she had cancer, so she decided to end her life on her own terms and in a location of her choosing. To her surprise, she discovers that she is caught in the afterlife as a spirit and finds herself questioning all she has ever known. As an atheist, Andrea never believed in the existence of God but now she is full of questions about whether God actually exists. She runs into Old Coyote who is in his spirit form and the two begin to talk. She asks him questions about life and death and the existence of God. Old Coyote and Andrea wander and share stories and memories from their past. The scenes were vivid, beautifully written, and pull you into the story. The character of Andrea is one that I felt instantly drawn to and empathized with. This was a poignant and thought provoking read.

Detective Dylan and the Case of the Missing Mail is a cute story about an eight-year-old boy named Dylan who is super excited about becoming a detective over the summer and solving mysteries.

They set off knocking on their neighbor’s doors, asking questions, and gathering evidence such as fingerprints. This was an engaging and fun chapter book that teaches children about teamwork, problem solving, and family. The book contains black and white illustrations throughout that help to bring the story to life and keep the attention of young readers.

I have loved every book in the Jake Wolfe Thriller Series, but this one may be my absolute favorite! This is the seventh book in the series and while I think reading the entire series provides the best experience, you can read this as a standalone. There may be minor confusion concerning the characters with no background, but the author does a pretty great job of getting you caught up to speed. Jake, a Marine, and Cody, his retired war dog, consistently find themselves in dicey situations that are quite literally life-and-death. The amount of time invested in the characters and plot are evident as this author has created a completely captivating story. I can’t recommend this series enough! I am ecstatic to see what thrilling adventures the next book has in store for us!

Mission Target by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mission target is the 7th book in the Jake Wolf series, but you don’t have to read them all, or in order. Within the first couple pages, Jake and Cody and their jobs and history are already laid out and summarized. This book follows Jake and Cody as they hunt down terrorists who are importing drugs, with the plan to kill millions of Americans. Like the other books, there is added fluff around the other characters to round out the story. Sarah experiences a little bit of drama and threat in this story, which built on her character. Jake’s “cousin” makes several appearances and has an ongoing support role, and the CIA agents are developed a bit more in this story. I’m not sure how much is accurate with regards to the police/CIA work processes, and the trial… but it was a good read. I like the section the author added at the end, summarizing his research that went into the book. I always enjoy this series, but am glad each one wraps up and doesn’t end in a cliffhanger.

Porter and Midge books are educational and fun. Paws and Playtime taught my son so many new activities to partake with our dog. CJ and Lora take their dogs Porter and Midge around their town, learning new activities and ways to have fun with their dogs. They learn how toys and tools can partner with food as a form of play and enrichment. We learned about dog luring, and weaving and tunnels. Afterwards, we looked up videos online to see it in real life. My son LOVED finding the video of the bulldog skateboarding, as it matches the dog in the book. We really enjoyed the different drawings of all dog breeds and learned a lot. My son was happy the book rhymed, and he was able to read most of it by himself. This series is wonderful for kiddos who may have a dog, or plan to get one, or even just want to learn more about dogs.
