Amy’s Rebellion by Julia Goldhirsh is book 1 in the Gemstone Massacre series. This book was a fun read. It follows Amy who is on the run from her vengeful leader. Soon she realizes she has nowhere left to run and must fight back. There was a lot going on in this book as is typical at the start of fantasy series. I really enjoyed the world-building as well as the good amount of LGBT+ representation. Watching Amy come into her own and do what she must to protect herself was great fun. The story has a lot of adventure and is a page-turner. I feel like fantasy lovers will really enjoy this story.

This is the 7th book in the series, but this is the first I’ve read. This can be read as a standalone, however I will be going back to read from the beginning for character backgrounds to better understand them. I found the author’s writing style easy to follow, which was great as the plot has a number of cases ongoing at once. Firstly I’m impressed by the author’s ability to have multiple on going cases at once and being able to communicate these in a clear way, even when they appear to link. The tension was built in the right places at the right time which kept me reading ‘just one more chapter’. There are plenty of twists to keep you guessing and I like that there is a feeling that you are investigating these cases alongside the PI characters Madeline and Mike. My only (very minor) issue is that there were times that things could get a little repetitive in relaying information but this is small price for such an enjoyable read. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

This story is a brilliant dark paranormal romance that is original and refreshing to read. I was hooked from the moment I started reading and couldn’t not put it down until I had finished. This is a short story but it is packed full of action and amazing characters. I loved how the author developed the story and it is easy to see it could be followed by another. I have loved all of this authors work so far and I think this book has to be one of my favourites. I would urge everyone to read it.
This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I enjoy her writing skills that make her stories come to life and her characters pop off the pages. This book is no different. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. The characters pull you into their world with ease and keep you there until the end. They are strong, supportive characters that have great growth and chemistry. They add so much to the story. This is a fast paced, easy and entertaining romance story where Garrett and Olivia have a second chance at love. Their story is one of healing and forgiving. I found myself hoping they would get their happy ending. You don’t want to miss what happens with these two for sure. I highly recommend this book and this author.

A Monster for Meg is 34 pages of monster goodness. It is part of Lois’s Giants and Monsters series. It is aimed at children aged 4 – 8 years. The bright and colourful illustrations by Nicolas Milano help move the story along. What others see as a monster Meg sees as anything but. Being blind puts a whole new spin on what you see without sight. One thing is for sure and that is the love of sisters and hugs. Lois gives her readers an insight into a world so different from someone with sight and that is done lovingly through pictures and words.

Stay For Me is the fifth book in the Balefire series although it can be read as a standalone. The series focus’ on each member of the band Balefire and this is Garrett and Olivia’s story. It is an erotic rock romance story.
The story is told in dual POV. I had mixed feelings about Garrett but he is shed in a whole new light in his story. Don’t get me wrong there are still moments when I want to smack him.
Garrett is hoping for a second chance after the biggest mistake he made 10 years ago.
Being in need means taking on the biggest rock band in the industry. Only along with them comes their manager the one who left me behind. Has the man changed and can he be trusted?
Sparks fly in this sexy and hot, steamy and seductive, passionate and intense tale.

This is a brilliant book that is perfect to help kids navigate different situations. The book is a great learning tool for kids and it is one that we enjoyed reading together. I loved that it was a collection of short stories. It meant when I reading it, my children didn’t get bored or distracted and it meant we could keep coming back to the book until the stories were all finished. This is an inspiring story that was a hit with the whole family. I would highly recommend this book.

Bravery comes in all shapes and sizes you just have to find it. Brave Kids, is a collaboration of short stories written by 24 authors from all over the world. Of course, this would not come about if it wasn’t for the wonderful storyteller & Illustrator K.J. Kaschula. Each author used their imagination, hopes and dreams to get them to where they are today, and each share a short story to encourage the same in others. It is aimed for kids from 6 – 12 years and it is hoped that each story will inspire children to go after their heart’s desires. To believe they are special and can do and become whatever they are meant to be. To be a beacon of courage. Each story is very special I liked them all but two stood out for me are: Janice Pratt’s story Amaleigha Tames a Bully: Kindness Can Change a Hard Heart. Amaleigha is one clever girl and is passionate and she wants to share it with others. There is a message here and it is not just for kids. Adults could use it too. Susan Ernst’s story Chann is Called to the Principal’s Office melted my heart with her wonderful story which she dedicated to the children of Cambodia. Featured Authors: Dr Shelley Astrof, Lacey Ayon, Eddie BenAbraham, Pamela Boehme, Dr Jennifer Browne, Tom Dahlborg, Kelly Daugherty, Andrea Stafford Deal, Susan Ernst Julie Funkhouser, Justin Krull, Mair Lemus, Heidi MacAlpine, Samara Ena Minichiello Dr Pamela J.

Fiddle and Fire is an absolute MUST READ for fans of historical romance! Make sure to read the reviews carefully, because it does contain a non-traditional take on a love story, but it is beautiful. It has such a dichotomy of male interests that are each unique and swoon-worthy! And in a rake of a brother and an old nemesis, and the lovebirds seem to be at odds with fate! Will they be able to fight for their love amidst the fires and drama of San Francisco?

Naomi Front and her teenage daughter, Ella, are moving to a new town. A place away from Naomi’s ex-husband and Ella’s dad, along with his crazy mother. No more expectations to meet that are somewhat unrealistic for Naomi but rather moving to where she and Ella can make their own decisions about life.
Upon arrival at their new home, which was bequeathed to Naomi from her uncle, they are instantly met with tragedy. When a dead body is found in their backyard shed, they soon become leery of even going into their home. The next door neighbors, Ingrid and Barbara, are quick to invite them into their own home until things can get settled down. They discuss the town gossip over a cup of tea. Barbara and Ingrid come to love Ella as a grandchild and become a source of strength and encouragement to Naomi.
This is a cozy mystery that I was able to read in a few short hours. I do wish that the author would have included recipes for the teas and the desserts mentioned in the book. That would have added an additional layer of fun to this read.

Wow!!! This talented author just keeps creating such wonderful characters and storylines again and again!! This book had me hooked right from the start and turning page after page with excitement because I just had to know what was going to happen for Garrett and Olivia. It was so great to get to read the story of Garrett, a character who up until now I really did not like at all, and learn more about him and understand a little more about why he did the things he did in the previous books in this fantastic series. If you haven’t read the previous books don’t worry you can read this and thoroughly enjoy it just like I did BUT do yourself a favour and read the whole series. You will not be disappointed!!!

This is an author that I have read all her books and loved each one. I never hesitate to pick up one of her books as I know that I will be lost in her world from the start of the book to the end. This is a shorter story that I read in one sitting. I found this book to be well written and engaging. A dark story that is full of addiction, romance and something that two people can only find with each other. The characters are creative, strong and supportive. They could cause some triggers for some but if you get past those you will find an awesome story. I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry. I really enjoyed this story and what the characters added to the story. I found this an entertaining story and one you don’t want to miss. This is a must read story. I highly recommend this book and this author.
A steampunk retelling of Cinderella? Yes please! This YA novel was equal parts historical fiction, steam punk, and fairytale. The relationship between Ellie and Ben once they were reunited was so, so sweet and the wicked stepmother was exactly what she should be.

This thriller made me stop and think on multiple occasions. There are so many points in the novel where one can stop and think “what if this really happened?” or “what if this is already happening?”
At one point, I was questioning my use of social media…that is how the author sucks you in on the high paced “journey” with Miranda.
It all starts with the simple ritual of writing down her feelings and burning them. One fire later and a trip to a cabin resort and she’s trapped in a barn. Thus, begins her fall down the rabbit hole and descent into the non-wonderland.
While she is trying to escape the madness, she faces her demons and rises victoriously.
I will admit when I first started reading this book, I questioned my choice but after the first few chapters I was pleased I kept reading.

How to Make a Flying Carpet (Alex, the Inventor) by Lois Wickstrom. This has become one of my very favorite children’s authors. This book is no exception. They make great gifts and your kids will love them. This is the story of Alex who finds a broken magnet off the refrigerator and decides to put it to use because she doesn’t want to waste it. While figuring out what to do with the magnet she learns what exactly a magnet does. After she tries different things she decides she’s going to make a magic carpet. This is a great book for 4-8 year olds learning how to do fun experiments. My nephews will love this book when I give it to them and I can’t wait to try out some of the fun ideas. Buy this great book for gifts and for your own family.

The Lone Star Child is the 3rd installment of The God’s Scion Series by Winnifred Tataw. This series is a great choice for lovers of YA Fantasy. The 3rd book takes us back into the intriguing world of the Acolytes and God’s. This time, Caro the Space Acolyte is missing. Rodrick and the other Acolytes have to save her before time runs out. If this is your first look into this series, be prepared for an immersive and interesting story that is very fast-paced. You will not want to put it down.

Fiddle and Fire by Ariella Talix was my first time reading a Historical Romance. The story is a MMF that takes place in 1850’s San Fransico. Our story begins when two best friends, Walter and Isaac meet the newcomer in town Suzette. Suzette and her brother Pascal moved to San Fransico from France. At first Suzette tries to push her attraction for Isaac away as she believes he is rough around the edges. She finds Walter a much more Gentlemanly suitor. However, Suzette could not have predicted that she would be the spark that would ignite a long Kindling romance between the two best friends. Together the three of them go on a sweet journey of finding love with just the right amount of spice. It all comes crashing down when someone from Suzette’s past slips in from the shadows to ruin it all. This cute and sexy romance is beautifully written. I devoured this book in one day. Highly Recommend. 5 Stars!!!!!!

Noah a typical normal kid is looking forward to spending his summer in The Super Youths Program which would give him popularity, respect, and maybe days without being bullied., but after an incident involving mutant rats, he is doomed to work all summer with his dad in maintenance or clean-up of these types of accidents. What a total bummer! He is rescued from a bully by the girl he so desperately loves and in turn finds out that she is a Super but nobody knows but him. Noah begins his investigation into this world of mutants and with the help of his new super friends, they learn the secret of the mutants and take it on themselves to stop the destruction of Lincoln City. Such a great book full of fun, mystery, and a few mutants that have invaded the city causing havoc for Noah and the super summer he had planned. Great characters and well developed plot with twists and turns made this book a pleasurable reading experience and I highly recommend it to all tweens and teens looking for a read that shows we are not as simple or normal as we think we are!

This is the 8th book in the Madeline Dawkins series. I honestly can’t express how amazing this author is. Every book is unique and gripping and no 2 stories or cases are the same. I do recommend reading this series from the beginning to give yourself a complete background of the main characters and to help you better understand the position they are in now.
We are back with the Private Investiagtors with another 3 cases to work through. The first case involves posion pen letters that start arriving at Monte Verde retirement complex. Someone is threatening to expose the residents past and secrets but for what purpose? What could a group of retired old people have to hide?
The second case is the help a woman get evidence of her Husband’s wrong doing to fight him in divorce proceedings. Everything about this story feels too close to Madeline’s past. Is this husband just as evil as Madeline’s was? Is the clients life in danger? And can Madeline protect her while snooping around for evidence?
The 3rd case is a case of a missing woman. After leaving home to join a religious cult Alison realises it isn’t what she thought it would be and so she escapes. Now she’s on her own and no one knows where. When her father enlisted Madeline and Mike and their PIs to track her down they start on a trail neither of them expected.
This book is full of secrets, deception, revenge and twists and turns which keeps the reader gripped. I love these stories.

I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy mystery novel, and was hooked from start to finish. Naomi Front and her teenage daughter Ella, move to the small town of Fayette, looking for a new start after an ugly divorce. However, they didn’t expect to find the corpse of the local busybody Yasmin LeFluer in their storage shed on, day one. Whilst waiting for the police to arrive their new neighbours, Barbara and Ingrid welcome them into their home, and over Earl Grey and biscuits they learn the gossip about the locals. Apparently, Yasmin will not be missed as she was extremely nosy and made plenty of enemies, making the list of suspects a long one, including her ex-husband, her sibling and even her friends. As if adjusting to a new home isn’t difficult enough, the mother and daughter have to deal with the aftermath of having a murder victim in their shed. Whilst Ella seems keen to team up with Barbara and Ingrid and discover who murdered Yasmin, Naomi struggles to settle in. With the case dragging on and the murderer still not caught, Ella and Naomi worry that they might be in danger. This gives Ella’s ex-husband a reason to stir up trouble regarding custody of Naomi, and so along with their tea loving neighbours they try to solve Yasmin’s murder. This is an enjoyable and engaging, easy, lighthearted read, with an intriguing storyline and plenty of plot twists which kept me happily turning the pages. The characters are wonderful and the setting really came to life through the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the storyline.

Tam Derudder Jackson has such a way with pulling you into the book. She’ll have you falling in love with the characters and the situations as the characters are spending their time falling in love. It is always nice to have a standalone book but it’s even better when you get the references from other books in this series. The Balefire series always has you coming back for more. Will Garrett and Olivia finally be together and happily? Read this great story and find out what you are missing.

Garrett and Olivia get the second chance at romance that they should have had. Garrett has gotten a reputation for being a putz with the ladies in the band (the guy’s gals). They aren’t too fond of him. Now Garrett has found Olivia and is wanting to win her back. It’s a long road for them but to watch them work on it is kind of a redeeming road. You are glad to see what happens. A romance that will have you feeling the emotions and enjoy seeing old faces in the story. Entertaining and fun, serious and romantic, a definite must-read.

I found this to be an entertaining story. It did remind me of Harry Potter in some ways. It does have a fresh and original way in other ways. The characters, especially the brothers, have such a tight bond. This makes their adventures kind of exciting. I found the whole book to be exciting when looking at it from a child’s stance. It’s got that sense of adventure and fun that kids are looking for. I loved the suspense between the parents and the doctor. It’s a good book.

I found this to be an interesting story of teen angst with a touch of mean girls. Cecily is just trying to achieve her dream. Right from the start, she’s dealing with drama. I found the story to be fairly relatable. You could feel her anxiety and trust issues. I found the characters to be well-written. You could feel the emotion, their personalities. I felt like it could have been happening right there around me. The plot was well-thought out. This is a good YA novel and a quick read.

This is a fantastic short story book to read and/or have children read. These are encouraging stories that really do help young ones look at things with new perspectives. I read these with my grandson. Our favorite was “Tonight is the Night.” He is autistic and some nights its hard for him to sleep alone. This story really caught his attention. We are working our way through the book for the second-time (oh, yes, this is a favorite obsession now. 🙂 ).

This is my second book that it had me on my toes. I can’t believe Madeline was so clever and had ways to get to the bottom of things. Madeline is one tough cookie but it seems like she had her own secrets as well or that only me… I love this book because it has action coming from everywhere. This type of book that keeps you in the story is one of a kind. I am curious though how the Author Cynthia came up with this story because every page had its own secret and the more I read the more I had to reread to put the pieces together.

The descriptions are vivid and the colors in the illustrations are my favorite which makes this my favorite book by this author yet. The ending will grip your emotions and just melt your heart like the Grinch’s. Ooh, such a sweet and cute story. I look forward to new stories from this author.

Fraud, finance and first class mysteries This series is brilliantly written with great characters and intense storyline. Book seven sees Madeline and her sleuthing crew following a trail of money that leads them through twists and turns until the very end. So much tension, suspense, secrets and complexities makes this a page-turner. Highly recommend the whole series.

I absolutely love this series and this AMAZING author so damn much!! I basically only have to see her name on a book now and I know I have to read it! This 3rd book of the series brings us Izzy and Lorenzo who are fantastic characters with sizzling hot chemistry. Add to that the fantastic storyline and you will be completely hooked on this book from start to finish. If you haven’t read the first two books of the series, that’s ok you can read this book and still enjoy it but I really recommend reading the entire series from the very start to enjoy it even more and because its all just so damn good!
