Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection #2) by Nikki Lynn Barrett

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by Barrett, but it is my first book in the Soul Connection Series. Barrett has yet again captured my attention. Sleeping Angel had me hooked from the start.

Logan is the older brother most of us wish we could have/had. He treats his sister the way every man should treat a woman. Then his world comes crashing down. His sister is dead. Murdered. The quote I chose for Logan is: “You could have saved her, had you paid attention. You’re selfish! How dare you come apologize to me! I’ll show you sorry!”

Angel watched it happen. Watched as her friend and Logan’s little sister was murdered. She comes forward after Andi is buried and says she saw it happen. She blames herself, but then something happens. She is in someone else’s body. The quote I chose for Angel is: “M-m … Rionna’s roommate. She’s dead.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Ghost lovers.

Heath is part of the Zayed community. Mating is rare and hasn’t happened in a long time. When he and Clay meet Lillie things change.

You have definitely been through enough for one night.”

Cursed Whispers (Broderick Coven Book 3) by AJ Renee

This is another great read by Renee. Cursed Whispers is about my favorite Broderick brother, Max. Each of the Broderick Coven Series can be read as a standalone.

Max can talk to animals. Yeah, you’re probably thinking it’s because he’s a get. But he can literally talk to animals. When he goes to his sister’s baby shower he gets a feeling. The feeling led him to his mate. The quote I chose for Max is: “When I heard your cry of pain, I decided right then to do everything I could for you. Learning you’re a werewolf hasn’t changed a thing. I can tell you don’t trust easily and probably for a good reason. Please trust me—us—when we say we will fight alongside you.”

Claudia is a werewolf. You know the kind that can phase between wolf form and human. She was taken, abused, and raped. Bringing along her daughter when she escapes. Now she has lost her daughter and needs Max’s help to find her. The quote I chose for Claudia is: “I, Claudia Lupita, mother of Katia, pledge my allegiance to the Alumbra pack. I swear to protect Peter Rawly and my fellow packmates from any and all who wish them harm.”

Southland Academy for Supernatural YouthSouthland Academy for Supernatural Youth by Sandra Tentler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Can i go to SASY please?? After reading this super fun book I so wish I had supernatural powers and went to Southland Academy.

Southland Academy for Supernatural Youth by Sandra Tentler and Brooke Tentler is such a fun read with sweet, Charismatic characters. The story follows a group of young supernatural students who become great friends while learning about themselves and their supernatural abilities.
The story is full of heart and shows us that acceptance and being true to our “real” selves is achievable. The authors have done this in a light hearted fun filled way that doesn’t dampen the readers spirit. I say bring on more Southland Academy adventures.

Mia is living in the city instead of with her family. She doesn’t want to be stuck in a small town. When she meets Nicholas her life is flipped upside down.

The main cop catches her attention. The quote I chose for Kally is: “He’s married. All men suck! Seriously. I saw her at the café. She’s gorgeous, of course. What would possess any man to stray when he has such a perfect family?”

Max is finally back in his hometown after his life went to hell. His daughter had the most trauma out of all this. When he met Kally things changed. He didn’t know if he could put himself out there. The quote I chose for Max is: “No, of course not. Men are never on the lookout for beautiful, successful and interesting women like yourself. I’m surprised you’re not already married with a couple of kids. I watched you at the party. You were a natural with those children and Athena hasn’t stopped talking about you.”

Dereck is helping a buddy out. When he finds himself falling for a friend of his buddy’s girl. He wants to help out and he wants to keep her safe. The quote I chose for Dereck is: “I’ll get you to a safe place, but close enough to see what’s going on. We’re short men, so I need to focus on the task at hand, and if you’re in danger, my focus will be on you. Put this in, Layla. You’ll be plugged into the team chat. Stay off the line unless you need something. I know how much this means to you, and for the record, I wouldn’t have really left you home if you hadn’t been listening, but you would be watching from a safe place and not in the middle of a fucking mafia war zone if it were up to me.”

Broken Circle (A Gray Ghost Novel, Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Bobbi Wagner

I enjoyed listening to this audio.  The narrator pulled me in with tone of voice.  The narrator kept it engaging and made me want to listen to more.  This is a fun, entertaining, suspenseful story to listen to, I can’t wait for the next one.  The characters in this book are lovable and connectable.  This story is about betrayal, misconceptions and seeing things for what they are. This is the story of Liv. She seems to have the best marriage to those looking in from the outside.   She overhears one of his phone conversations but what she doesn’t realize is how it will change her life from that point forward. Will she get to see another side of Alex she didn’t realize existed? He wants nothing more than to protect her but what will happen when he puts her in danger? Will this be a second chance for them or will they need to fear for their lives? All of the characters make this story flow into an action packed story. I highly recommend this audio.  I am glad I picked it up and so will you be

Black Boy Out of Time by Hari Ziyad – Review by Colleen Noyes

Black Boy Out of TimeBlack Boy Out of Time by Hari Ziyad
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When I saw this book it immediately looked like a book I would enjoy and so I wanted to give it a try. I thought that the author did a good job of writing, although some of it didn’t necessarily flow together. The parts of the book that I enjoyed were the ones that were personal that spoke about his feelings, his family, how he grew up. I enjoyed that he shared such personal things and was open. What I wasn’t expected was that for a memoir it would have so many statistics thrown in, especially in random places. It didn’t feel like a memoir as much as a “lesson” for better lack of a word. Some of it read more like a history lesson and when I read a memoir, a biography, an autobiography, I read it because of hoping to find a personal connection. I think this author has great potential, but I feel he needs to be clear about what his books are actually about.

She learns something, but keeps it to herself. The quote I chose for Serena is: “Depends on your definition. Just because I’ve never encountered it, doesn’t necessarily make it a rare occurrence. For all my lecturing you to cleanse, I’ve obviously been neglecting my own to warrant this level of cleaning.”

He sends a text when he gets back to town, but doesn’t realize that he never pressed send. The quote I chose for Ethan is: “Because I’m good looking and you’re in desperate need for an oracle.”

The quote I chose for Cade is: “Yeah, I didn’t start a band to become famous. I did it because I loved music and I loved playing music with my friends. It pi**es me off that the best songs I write usually don’t make the A-side cut, while the vapid but catchy drivel I’m forced to write ends up at the top of the Billboard charts. And that it’s more important how I look, what my branding image is, than how I play. And that every person I meet wants a piece of me because my record label contract somehow makes me a demi-god of entertainment. It’s . . . exhausting.”

Thunder on the Moor (Thunder On The Moor #1) by Andrea Matthews

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. It was a great book and I’m looking forward to the next one. This is the first book in the Thunder On The Moor Series.

Maggie is the daughter of a 16th century man who was brought to the future. She’s heard what she thought were stories. Only to find out that they’re not just stories. The quote I chose for Maggie is: “Regardless, it would do us all good to get away.”

Robert is from the 16th century and from Scotland. He’s brought from the past to the future. There four hundred years into the future he meets his wife and had a kid. The quote I chose for Robert is: “Have nae fear, laddie, if I’d wanted to kill ye, ye’d be long since gone. Me kin, on the other hand, mightna take so kindly to such as you, so ye’d best be watching yerself. Now I see ye’ve already secured yer own jack, but the rest of what ye’ll be needing is in the car. Get yerself dressed, aye. We have some work to do.”

Highly recommended for Historical Romance lovers.
