The Misery House
By: David Kummer

This is a psychological thriller that is absolutely that is filled with so many twists ands turns. This is the first of a three part series and I absolutely cannot wait to read the rest of the books! It takes place in such a quiet small town that is hiding so many secrets! This is a multiple POV book that does this type of story telling very well. The story telling is what is what makes the story what it is. This story is absolutely amazing an it definitely sucks you in with all the creepiness. I cannot recommend this enough. I also am waiting anxiously for the rest of the series. I loved the authors storytelling abilities and want to read even more about this small town and the house on the hill!

This was a superb read. I loved the intricacies of the story line. It was full of twists and turns. I enjoyed the mystery and suspense. A little bit historical, a little paranormal, and quite a page-turner.

This book was amazingly written. The twists and turns were such an adventure. I was so there for the ride. I had figured out the “who dun it” kind of early on, but let me just say, this had me second guessing myself… If you love a good psychological thriller, one that makes you think, you will LOVE this book. I absolutely recommend this book.

Adorable! I’ve always had a soft spot for teachers. It’s something everybody in the world has experienced. We can all tell when a teacher really cares about their students and wants them to succeed. This book is great, it supports teachers, and helps show kids that teachers are people who care about them.

House of ArsceneauxHouse of Arsceneaux by Caterina Novelliere
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The House of Arsceneaux is part of the Servants of Morrigan: Immortal Creatures series. It is a vampire paranormal story that centers around the story of fated mates Caitlin and Evariste. All Caitlin wants to do is go on holiday, but her boss has other plans for her. He insists that she cut into her personal time for a meeting at a property that could mean a huge business deal. The owner is a no-show because he is not interested in selling the property. Caitlin meets Evariste, the owner of the property, at a dinner party being given by his sister and he immediately believes that she is the reincarnation of his late wife. She has no recollection of her past, but he insists that she is his soul mate that he was separated from centuries ago. Evariste encourages Caitlin to travel back in the past with him so that he can show her that they were indeed soul mates that were hopelessly in love. Caitlin is uncertain if she should trust him but if she does not then she risks losing out on the possibility of being reunited with her one true love. I loved the overall love story of Caitlin and Evariste and how it is a testament to true love overcoming being torn apart by time and distance. The characters were ones that I felt a connection to, and I found myself rooting for them to be together after being separated years ago. This was a great read full of action, suspense, danger, drama, secrets, lies, vampires, and love through the centuries.

A Way Out (Rock Star Book 2)

I did not read the first book of the series but I wish I had. It wasn’t necessary to follow Maria and Oz’s story but I’m one of those people that needs to know everything.

Maria is an amazing mom and will do what she needs to for her daughter Riley which is how it should be. Starting over after a divorce and no job had to be scary but she knew her sister would help her out.

Oz has stepped to help his Mom, nieces and nephew financially by killing himself working three jobs along with trying to get recognition for he and his band. Thankfully they have good people there to assist.

I enjoyed reading this book and will be keeping up with this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Way Out is Book Two in the Rock Star series. It is a contemporary romance full of angst, passion, love, drama, family, friendships, dreamers, and of course a fledgling rock star. Maria is trying to bounce back from a bad divorce to a man that she only married because her mom approved. With nowhere to live and a need to get away for a bit she decides to leave town to visit her sister. When she arrives at her sister’s house, she discovers that her sister is in another state preparing to get married. A sexy stranger named Oz is in her sister’s home and Maria cannot help but be attracted to this fledgling rockstar. Both Oz and Maria are going to attend her sister’s wedding, so they decide to travel together. Along the way the attraction grows, and somehow Maria finds herself agreeing to fund Oz’s fledgling rock band. Now she is technically his boss and business and pleasure never mix. The problem is they are attracted to one another. Can they have both business and pleasure, or will they have to choose? A well written story with emotional ups and downs and great characters that you immediately feel a connection to. Oz has a heart of gold and will do anything to support his family. Maria has been through a tough marriage and she and her daughter have been kicked to the curb after a bad divorce. Their stories really tug at the heartstrings, and you find yourself rooting for things to work out for both Maria and Oz. I highly recommend this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley Book 1) by Theresa Paolo. I had to pick up this book because I actually made a bet with one of my friends that if we weren’t married by 40 we would get married. Luckily I got married in my 20’s to someone else so I didn’t have to call in that favor. This story is the first in the Vine Valley series. Its a cute story about Laurent who was in love with Phoebe years ago and she broke his heart. When she comes sailing back into his life 20 years later wanting to call in their bet he is shocked. Laurent would never turn his back on Phoebe so he goes along with it but makes her promise to not fall in love with him because he can’t get hurt again. She agrees even though she already has feelings for him but thinks she can get away with it. I really enjoyed this book even though I got aggravated at both characters and their hard heads. I can’t wait to read more in this series. A fun sweet read!

Gabriela Martinez, a well known author is in the fight of her life. People are willing to do anything to get their hands on her works. Including taking her life. But will their evil plan work, and at what cost? Gabriela is so much stronger than even she believes. This may be a new author for me, you can bet I will be looking for more from her. This story is so full of twists and turns. Once it gets going it is hard to stop. The events that take place are amazing as well as intense. Love this story, hope you do too.

The Book of Hours
By: Maria Elena Alonso – Sierra

This book started out very slow in my opinion. This was super difficult for me to get into, but I have a a general rule about never DNF a book. In this case I am so glad that I have that rule because about ⅓ of the way through this book it got so amazingly good. I did not want to put it down at all. It just is getting through the beginning part of the book, which really sets up the characters and whos who and the general switching of points of view. The author is also very descriptive. It is absolutely vivid and there is no doubt how descriptive things are. The actual suspense is really good and I truly loved the story line. It is such a good book overall and I definitely recommend reading it! I will say that I did not read the coin and I do not know if it would have helped to have read it to help with the beginning part. I definitely recommend reading this book! I did love the twist of the strange maniac who was obsessed with obtaining Gabriella’s manuscript and stopping at nothing to obtain it. Overall it is a very good read that I recommend filled with twists and turns.

The Master of Demise by Nadija Mujagic. This is my favorite genre so I was so excited to read this book and I was not disappointed. I didn’t want to put it down which to me is the number one sign of a great book. Its the story of Mitch who is a college professor, happily married and seems like he has it all together. When one of his students commits suicide and leaves a note saying that Mitch and his class was the final straw everyone blames Mitch. His whole world falls apart. His wife leaves him and then he find himself going down a dark and twisted path making decisions that lead him to bad places. When another student dies everyone automatically assumes Mitch killed him so he is the prime suspect. Mitch is even beginning to wonder if there is the psycho side to himself that he doesn’t even recognize. Full of lies, betrayal and death this story is amazing. Mitch sets out to clear his name but ends up getting himself into more danger. This book will keep you flipping pages way past your bedtime!

Man oh man, are you in for a treat with this book! This book had a wonderful and interesting twist when it came to the whole story. I didn’t want to put it down! I had to force myself to go to bed more than once, otherwise I would have stayed up all night reading. Again. Lol. I loved the way the author wrote this book. It’s another take on Immortal Creatures and I just wanted more and more of it. Evariste (aka Gage) is a three hundred year old cursed immortal. His curse started when he lost his wife all those years ago and it’s been plaguing him and his family who were cursed right along with him. He feels the guilt of it all every single day. He throws himself into work, cooking, and fishing. He loves his family and his company, but he doesn’t know all the secrets and lies behind his own life. Caitlin (aka Cate) is on overload. She was recently dumped over a promotion. She is overworked and totally burnt out. Over all, her life is a big old mess right now. Looking forward to a much needed vacation to New Orleans has her hopeful for the much needed time off and away. But of course her boss throws her plans askew. He talks her into staying longer so she can check out a company while she’s on her vacation. Just a small routine background investigation is all it’s supposed to be. But with her luck and how her life is right now, of course it turns out to be way more than what it seemed. She’s forced into the world of Gage’s and his business. When they meet Gage can’t believe his eyes. Or her eyes!! The uniqueness of them stops him in his tracks. He knows them. He can’t help but be drawn to them and her. Can he trust what he sees? Keeping her close so that he can try to spark up some old memories, has him dangling an unwelcomed business proposition up in the air just to keep her around longer. Work won’t keep his quilt at bay when he’s starting into the eyes of his past. Grab this book NOW to read how this story turns out. I don’t want to give anything away, but it’s so good!!! You will not be disappointed at all by this read. Except maybe wanting more like I did! I can’t wait for more from this author!

When Magic Calls: A Collection of Modern Fairy TalesWhen Magic Calls: A Collection of Modern Fairy Tales by Caitlin Berve
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was thoroughly captivated by this YA collection of modern fairy tales and each story had me happily turning the pages. The stories include a jealous girl in the land of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, who stole a magical artefact from the fairy tale museum, unlocking a curse that puts her life in danger. In the wilds of the Rocky Mountains, a wild girl has been raised by a wolf pack and is now living with them, whilst an obsessive man studies her, but soon just watching her will not be enough for him. Meanwhile, in a city a storm rages and will wake a boy from his deadly dream, propelling him towards the insidious darkness of his ancestry. The collection of stories centres around the fact that even in our modern times fairy tales are taking place all around us, if we only look close enough! This collection has everything from, fear, fate, magic, darker tales, changelings, selfies and cursed objects, to name a few. The authors descriptive narrative, well defined characters and unique storylines had me hooked throughout, and I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderfully written novel.

I need a Goldilocks like this one!

In this classic retelling of the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Lois Wickstrom has created a new classic with a science twist. Baby Bear has an issue that he needs help with so his family goes on a walk to think about a solution. In the meantime, Goldilocks shows up and does her thing with their home. In the end, Goldilocks teaches the family about the six simple machines that make our lives much easier.

I would recommend all of this author’s books. She writes engaging stories that are also educational. These stories should be in every family library, daycare, school, etc. and would make a great gift for a new family!

A Way Out (Rock Star Book 2)A Way Out by Tami Lund
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I felt that it has the push and pull of the main characters that always leads to an epic story. Maria didn’t start out as a favorite character of mine because she seemed almost weak at the beginning but that did change and she had some amazing character growth throughout the story. I did end up really rooting for her and enjoying who she becomes in this story. Oz is amazing and compassionate. He cares a lot about everyone around and almost has a white knight complex. The story makes you feel like Oz would protect anything and everyone he loves from anything they may face. Don’t get me wrong he does have his moments and they just make him more humanized in the story. I had to keep reading this book just to find out what was going to happen. I needed to know not only what happens between them but also the secondary characters in this book are phenomenal. I hoping that they get books as well because they really helped the story flow and me turning the pages. I highly recommend this book to anyone. That’s it, just to anyone who wants a quick read that will make them feel good but won’t leave a book hangover.

The Misery House (The House on the Hill #1)The Misery House by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was gripped by this psychological thriller from start to finish. Set in the small rural town of New Haven and told from different characters points of view, this unsettling story was one which I could not put down. The Woods family have lived in the town forever and are as shocked as everyone else when a string of tragedies occur. First the local store burns down with two bodies inside and then a newlywed couple go missing, and there does not appear to be any leads, leaving the townsfolk worried. When the close knit Woods family’s own children and their friends are put in danger they are willing to risk everything to find out what is going on.
Throughout the story the abandoned, creepy and known to be haunted house sits on the hill, this seems to be where the secrets of the town might be discovered. However, it may be too late for the Woods family and the town. The likeable and relatable Woods family had me captivated from page one, whilst the claustrophobic feel of the setting along with the chilling haunted house were brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. I felt completely immersed in this novel, the suspense and terror really built chapter by chapter, and the plot twists and turns kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. This was a real page turner and as it ends with a cliffhanger, I am now impatiently waiting for book two in this trilogy.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caitlin has given her YA readers an interesting take on a collection of urban fantasy fairytales. But they are just any fairytales, they are a little twisted and a little deeper with a little darkness.
When Magic Calls is eleven unique short stories intertwined with magic and mythology with mystery, fates, curses, artifacts, selkies, wolves and more. Once upon a time is not the norm when it comes to this author. But when it comes to retellings there is no norm.
With lots of imagination and magic along with lyrical narrative at times keeps you guessing as to what retelling tale is coming next.
If you are a fan of retellings that are a little different and a fantasy lover, then you need to jump right in. And even if you aren’t you should take a look too.

The Misery House (The House on the Hill #1)The Misery House by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Misery House is the first book in the epic three-book series The House on the Hill by David Kummer.
We have a quiet and peaceful small-town setting with small-town mindedness where it can be unwelcoming at times and loving at others.
The story is told from several POV’s building the tension and drama fuelled by fears.
It is a thought-provoking read. It is the lives and the people in this town and the creepiness that surrounds them all that draws you in. Having said that though sometimes the story didn’t flow easily and is a bit stilted surrounding the vivid picture narrative of the characters.
It’s just a House on the Hill. An empty House on the Hill. An eerie house. A place where horrors are brought alive by stories. A place where something maybe lurking in the shadows.
I still enjoyed the story that holds promise for future books. It does end on a cliff hanger ready for the next book. If you hate cliffie’s you are out of luck but if you like psychological thrillers, then give it a go.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Smooth Hoperator is the wonderful second book in the Rom Com series Love on Tap by Sylvie Stewart. I thoroughly enjoy reading Sylvie’s fabulous work because I know I am in for some fun, a bit of drama, a little suspense along with fantastic characters.
It is non-stop laughter as we journey along with the well-developed, crazy, quirky, and likable characters I think this is my favourite book by Sylvie to data. Sunny’s grandfather Duke is a cantankerous trouble making conspiracy theorist who I just loved. Throw in Carter’s mother, pet skunk and a protective best friend you never know what you are going to get.
Smooth Hoperator has a solid plot and a great storyline full of humour, lots of warmth and heart, a little heated chemistry.
When opposites attract is when the fun starts.
It’s easy to imagine friends and family sitting around enjoying this atmosphere and friends.
Make sure you start with the first book in the series Ale’s Fair in Love and War as it sets the tone of what’s to come.
I can’t wait to read Millers story.

When Magic Calls: A Collection of Modern Fairy Tales by Caitlin Berve is a YA fantasy fairytale retelling collection that provides an enchanting read. This is my first book by Ms. Berve, so what better way to get a feel for her work than a book with lots of short stories to explore.
As you would expect from fairytale retellings, this is woven with magic, the paranormal, curses, a little mythology, imagination, fate & destiny, action, adventure, drama, twists, and emotion. Ms. Berve has cleverly crafted her stories in such a way that they are quite unique from the ‘originals’. There are also some illustrations sprinkled through the book too, that add to the charm of the collection.
If you love fairytale retelling, short quick and easy reads, and originality, then this might just be the book for you.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Caitlin Berve!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mitch thought his life was perfect. Successful career as a tenured professor at a University, a loving wife, a home to call his own until overnight his life was turned upside down. A student died on campus and all fingers pointed to Mitch, his reputation started to decline rapidly. Then he noticed his wife was becoming more and more distant and he had no idea why. His thoughts were running amuck with the what ifs. He thinks that someone is out to get him but who?

Mitch starts drinking heavily and starts to have gaps in his memory. He starts to rethink everything. Maybe he is to blame? He doesn’t remember doing anything but that doesn’t mean he did it, does it?

This book was a wild ride. Confusing but in a good way. I could not put it down. I had 3 theories going on for the ending of the book and I was only kind of right. The ending was a major twist. It was very hard to like Mitch as a character which actually helped with the plot. Throughout the book, you have flashbacks to middle school and it shows how Mitch is the way he is as an adult. He is narcissistic and cold but also logical and sometimes reasonable. My thoughts kept alternating between ‘awww poor Mitch’ to ‘you know what, he deserves it’. The author did an amazing job keeping the book fast paced but still so full of detail and action. You really got a feel for the emotions surrounding the characters.

If you like psychological thrillers, then give this book a read! It’s definitely worth it!
