Dr Moira McCann is a woman on a mission, her twin sister Claire has not shown up for a visit, it is rare enough that she does that, but when Moira doesn’t hear anything for a couple of days, she gets worried, so she heads to her last location, a small town called Allenville. Seth Call is the Police Chief of Allenville and he knows everything which happens there and more importantly keeps Outsiders from finding out about it, however when one disappears and another one arrives, he knows he will have to work harder than ever to do it.

As Moira tries to find a lead to the whereabouts of her sister, she tries the usual places, the only hotel, the local diner and the police station. Unfortunately for Moira, there are no answers forthcoming and she has a feeling that there is something else happening, but she also feels that the Police Chief is not telling her everything either. Meanwhile, Seth knows that the disappearance could be something to do with the local mating season and when bodies are found, he knows that the danger is escalating.

Moira keeps hitting brick walls and so when she happens upon even the smallest hint, she grasps it and follows where it leads, but the facts don’t add up, not to mention that Seth is a very sexy distraction and is a flame which could easily ignite and derail her and Seth is feeling the same way about Moira. Will they be able to find Claire before she falls to a gruesome fate, or will the secrets Allenville is desperate to hide reveal themselves first? This is a romance with a bucket load of sci-fi thrown in where secrets, revelations, danger and hope mix to bring a fast paced story you will not want to miss.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I hadn’t read any books by this author before, so I wasn’t sure what I was getting into. I took a chance with this one and couldn’t be happier that I did! This is the first book in the Alienville series and what an incredible start it is. Within the very first chapter, this story gripped my attention and never let go. I couldn’t put it down for a moment which means I ignored quite a few chores and errands that day. I regret nothing! Moira and Claire are twins but couldn’t be more opposite. Claire is the whimsy, free-spirited sister while Moira is responsible and structured. Claire doesn’t respond to her sister so Moira goes to look for her, but nothing is as it seems. Once the Police Chief, Seth, meets Moira, he finds himself stuck between the truth and his feelings. I refuse to give anything away because this story surprised me at each and every turn! The flow and pace of this story is quite fast but somehow still feels natural. The characters are incredibly well-developed, and I loved the chemistry between Moira and Seth. If you enjoy an intriguing, suspenseful sci-fi romance, please pick this up because you won’t regret it. I cannot wait for the second book in this series!

The town is actually Allentown in North Carolina, but someone shot the sign making the second ‘L’ look like an ‘i’. This little town has secrets that it doesn’t want to get out. When Moira’s sister Claire doesn’t show up for their scheduled visit she starts to get worried. Sure Claire is scatter brained but she would at least find a way to get in touch right? Moira is on a mission to find her missing sister and she starts in the last place that she was known to be. Moira tries to get help from the Chief of Police in Allentown, Seth Call, but the last thing he wants is for the big secret to get out. After all, whatever or whoever took Claire is not going to give her back. This was the first book I have read by this author and it was a page turner. A long time ago I tried a Sci-fi book and knew it was something I most likely wouldn’t pick up again. I’m glad I took the chance on this one and I hope to read more from this author in the near future.

Lost Hollow : A Small Town Science Fiction Romance (Alienville Book 1) (Alienville Series)Lost Hollow : A Small Town Science Fiction Romance (Alienville Book 1) by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hit the small town feels on the nose. This is the first book I have read by the talented Donna S. Frelick and being from a small town in the mountains of North Carolina this story truly came to life. With multiple perspectives the author takes us on an adventure into the truly unknown.
Moira and her twin sister Claire are both very different but all it takes in one missed meet up and Moira goes on the hunt. Starting where she last heard from her sister, Moira heads to the town of Allenville. All she wants to do is find her sister and when told to talk to the local police chief things shift. Seth is conflicted. He wants to help Moira find her sister but must protect his town. Adding to the growing tension and suspense, beasts, mutilated bodies, secrets being revealed and more, Moira and Seth also must deal with their growing feelings for each other. Claire only stopped for the night to rest while traveling to visit her sister and everything changed.
Will Moira find Claire? What happened to Claire? The world building was amazing. I honestly could picture the town and its people in my head. Not only from memory but from experience living in a small mountain town, everyone has their secrets and some of them are way more than you ever expected. The characters give a wide range of perspectives from being an outsider searching for her sister, to an out-of-this-world outsider and even a passerby that got mixed up in the secrets of the town. This was an amazing start to a new series, and I can’t wait to see what will happen next in Alienville.

When Moira goes searching for her ditzy sister Claire, who has vanished near the small mountain town of Allenville, North Carolina, she uncovers more than she ever expected.
Two rival groups with an uneasy truce are disrupted when a member of the secluded mountain group kidnaps Claire for their own nefarious purposes. Can the leaders of the two groups collaborate to rescue Claire before it’s too late, while also safeguarding the town’s secret from Moira?
Moira finds herself attracted to the appealing police chief Seth Call. Still, she realizes that he’s concealing secrets, including his feelings for her, to protect himself, the town, and its history from an Outsider.
It took a few chapters to get into this book as I wasn’t sure what was happening, but then it turned into an exhilarating journey to the end!

This was a fun story and I liked the music industry part of it too. Tyler Robertson is a music manager but is kind of stuck in her job since her boss hates her. She is trying to find new bands and make more for herself but is struggling without the support and the ability to sign girl bands. Cary Kingston is a rockstar who is the number one musician under Tyler’s company. He shows up to the office and they get to chatting. He has a crush on her but doesn’t know how to ask her out and she also has a crush but doesn’t believe he would ever like her back. Cary asks Tyler out to a wine bar but then mentions work so she isn’t sure what the deal is. As they get to know each other, Tyler has to decide if she is going to break her “no dating musicians” rule. Cary needs to figure out how to balance touring, writing music, and a relationship. This was a fun, he falls first, romance and I would definitely pick up another book by this author.

If you are like me, you have tried countless diets and paid a pretty penny. I don’t know what I thought I would gain by reading this book, but boy, am I glad I did! The main thing is to change 1 habit at a time and consistency. I learned a lot of the science behind weight gain and weight loss in words that I could understand. If you are tired of the yoyo diets and really want to change your lifestyle, give this book a read.

This is a good second story in the series. This is a nicely done mystery/romance. The romance is quick and well done. The author puts enough extras in so it is difficult to figure out the “who dunnit”. We get to see how James will go about getting his girl and protect her from danger. We get a look into how James will go about getting her stalker and the trouble they get into. Things really pick up near the end and it all rounds out nicely.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Bistrita (Masters of the Consulate Book 11) by Sylvia Black. I’m going to start by saying I’ve not read all of these books but I was still able to understand the plot and characters. This is a paranormal vampire series and its really good. Its the story of Bistrita who is a dominant and he is set on making Chara submit to his will. Chara is very strong willed and is not going to go willingly. They are fated mates but Chara is determined to not be owned by someone. She really wants to be a vampire but she’s not willing to sell her soul for it. Chara is very independent and not really into being owned by anyone but she can’t deny the sexual attraction between them. There is also a war that is going on and much of the story revolves around that taking away from their romance. This story is full of greed, Betrayal, dark underworld, romance and war. Its a great Paranormal Vampire read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the London Detective series and it is a brilliant follow up to the first. I think for me, this book is even better than what I expected and that was in large part because of the characters involved. Their chemistry was undeniable. The connection was there right from the start, no matter how much they tried to ignore it.
But the characters and their connection felt like it was in conjunction with the story, not taking over it like it could have done. I was desperate to know how things would play out – who was involved, what would happened. The author really kept me engaged throughout the whole story. This is a brilliant book and a great continuation of what is building up to be a fantastic series.

This book is a really interesting start to a new series. The main character is on the search of Atlantis and the search leads her to the discovery of a door, and a whole adventure she wasn’t expecting. My favourite part of the book is the characters. Each of them added something different to the story but the overall dynamic between them is what, for me, carried the story. I loved watching them develop as it progressed.
Crystal Dawn is a new author to me and I feel like this book was a great way to show off her talents. It was exciting to read and I loved the world building she brought to it. I was excited to get to know the characters and to see what the adventure had in store for them. I am very much looking forward to the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Alienville series. This is a great sci-fi romance, suspense read. I am not normally a fan of sci-fi however this has so many elements to it that I couldn’t helped but be gripped.
In this story you will find danger, violence, conspiracies, creatures from other worlds, as well as intrigue and romance. There is literally something for everyone.
The authors creative mind has really created a story that has so many characters and so many layers that I found myself lost in the story.
When Moira’s sister Claire goes missing, Moira decides to go to the last place she was supposed to be which was Allenville. When Claire arrives she gets a strange feeling that something bad has happened to her sister and turns to Police Chief Seth Call for assistance.

Seth knows or at least suspects what has happened to Moira’s sister. Their are strange and violent creatures that also love in Allenville. If his suspicions are correct the Claire has fallen pret to these creatures. The problem becomes is she alive or was she murdered? And if she is alive has she been transformed into one of these creature?
And the biggest question of all, how is he going to explain to an outsider like Moira what is actually going on and the dangers that lurk in this small town?
Can he keep the towns secrets and protect Moria at the same time? Will Moria’s determination to get to the truth or what happened to her sister also put her in harms way?

This story has so many twists and turns that I couldn’t put it down. I look forward to seeing what the author produces for us next

Glass Houses is an extremely short story about Ivy and Falcon with a falling marriage. The feeling of a failing marriage with the two hurting one another is the crux to be explored. The range of emotions that these characters have throughout the few pages is drastic. The content of this book is 18+ due to the graphic nature and adult situations. It took me about 10 minutes to read, I do wish it was a bit longer. There is a nice twist in the end. Will these two find happiness in the end or are they doomed to shatter apart?

Be My Little Baby (London Detective Agency Series Book #2) by Stephanie R. Caffrey – Review by Angela Hayes

Be My Little Baby (London Detective Agency Book 2)Be My Little Baby by Stephanie R. Caffrey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Be My Little Baby is the second instalment in the London Detective Agency series by Stephanie R. Caffrey. It is an engrossing romantic suspense with plenty of mystery, crime and investigation, intrigue, tension, stalker danger, investigation, private investigator x client dynamic, chemistry, emotion, secrets, and dramatic developments.
When Tessa Lopez, who owns a bustling little bakery in London, is targeted by a stalker, the police fail to help her- so she turns to PI James Moore to help put a stop to her torment. I don’t want to spoil it for you, suffice to say that what happens makes for quite a gripping read.
While I really enjoyed the first book, Mistaken Identity, this instalment is even better. It did start off a little slow, but the pace picked up pretty quickly and I was soon pulled into all the intriguing developments.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Caffrey.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Stephanie R. Caffrey!
