Snowfall Serenade by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection Book 3) by Nikki Lynn Barrett is another captivating paranormal romance story in this fantastic series. Nikki is a go to author for me and when I saw this book was out, I had to get it. Nikki has a way of telling a story that completely consumes you and the rest of the world fades away. I often get in trouble with people trying to talk to me and getting no response when I am lost in her narrative. Nikki has poured a lot of emotions within the story that makes you fall in love with these characters and makes your heart melt. I was so engrossed that putting the book down was not going to happen and before I knew it hours had passed.
I love paranormal and this has all the elements that made it a wonderful story. What with ghosts and mystery, a little drama and angst, a few secrets and romance what more could you ask for. This series is aptly named Soul Connection could not be more perfect.

Snowfall Serenade is the third book in the wonderful Soul Connection Series by Nikki Lynn Barrett. Having read the previous books and loving them as much as I did, I was quite excited when this third book hit my Kindle. I know I have said this many times before- but Ms. Barrett’s stories are very captivating, easily pulling me in and keeping me hooked right till the very end. She has a real talent for storytelling, and I can always count on her to deliver an engrossing, well written, and cleverly crafted story.
As with the other two books in the series, this is another paranormal romance, with a wonderful supernatural touch that gives this series that extra element of interest. With romance, ghosts, drama, angst, a little heartache, family, mystery, emotion, secrets, high stakes, and revelations- this story packs quite a lot between the covers.
As this story continues Scott and Zelda’s story, who we me back in book one, I highly recommend reading the other two books first before you start on this one. There is a lot of important information, backstory, and character details contained in the other books, that will really enhance your reading experience of this book.
I have loved Scott and Zelda right from the beginning of the series, through their story in book one, and then again as supporting characters in book two. It was great to get to continue their story in a bit of an unexpected way. I really felt for them through this story, there were a few tense and emotional moments that made my heart ache for them- and again I found myself completely invested in them and the outcome of their story.
With the little snippet at the end, I can’t wait to see what comes next!!
Thank you, Nikki Lynn Barrett!

This book is on fire!!! So steamy, its palpable. This is my first book from Via Mari, being the 6th in the series did not effect me at all- definitely enjoyable as a stand alone. I absolutely loved everything about this book, from the suspenseful plot, the perfectly created sizzle between Allie and Nick, the drama and emotion- all the yes’s! I will be reading all the previous books in this series pronto- it was that good. Would recommend, 5 stars isn’t enough!
Sea Mage by Louisa Bacio
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Sea Mage was a nice short read. It is my first book from Louisa Bacio and I was unaware going in it was book ten in a series so there were times I was slightly confused, but was still definitely able to keep up as a stand alone story. Louisa did a great job at world building, very descriptive. At times I did struggle to connect to the characters, finding I had to really focus to keep my attention from wandering. Despite this, I would definitely consider reading a book from the start of the series as it was overall enjoyable.

Sea Mage (The Nightshade Guild, Book 10) by Louisa Bacio is the tenth book in the Nightshade Guild series. Honestly this is the first one of the series that I have read not initially realizing it was part of a series, but overall it didn’t affect the story to much. There were a few times that made me wonder if I had missed something but once I realized it was a series put together by multiple authors, I loved the story so much I went back and read the others. Filled with mermaids, magic, shifters, a special quest and so much more this book was simply amazing. I was immediately drawn to this book by its beautiful cover the story that unfolded in its pages did not disappoint.
Come Back Tomorrow by Amy Argent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Come back tomorrow is a hook line and sinker type of book. It reels you in and doesn’t let go. It’s as if you can see every moment and day through Tori and Will’s eyes. The details of this book are beautiful. It is definitely a must have, must read and share with others type story.
Side Note-I thought this needed to be added for I seen it in another review. Personally dealing with my dad having cancer this book hits home.
Note- I offer a content warning for those who may have lost loved ones to a terminal illness or who may be squeamish around medical details. The author presents a realistic, well-researched picture of day to day life with cancer.

I loved this book more than I can dare to say! I found it full of moving moments as well as a lot of emotions for myself surrounding the characters I read about! I loved the aspects of the ghosts that were added into the story, and they really added nicely, and the writing really made this book an very easy flow to read.
I was sucked in and entwined completely with this novel, it was so good. I loved how the two main characters could see ghosts and basically were gifted that they had to help them on their way, but is being let go really what all ghosts seem to want? Or sometimes does unfinished business mean something more than a human brain would think to consider?
Zelda and Scott could both see the ghosts and they I found sometimes viewed it as more of a burden, as it took time away from things they enjoyed such as each other and family time. The ghosts put a strain on what they have between them for sure, but with the ghosts needs and their past history of what they bring to the table, it makes things for Zelda and Scott more worst than off than they first appeared to me at first glance. All in all, I was truly captivated by this novel and was rooting for Zelda and Scott, they were beloved characters who deserved a happy story for sure. I loved the ghosts though, it made the story complicated for the characters sure at times, but I found their back stories had much appeal to read!
The story itself was moving and an easy flow to read, and it was one you really had to put your heart in to really feel what Zelda, Scott, as well as our ghost friends were feeling. It was beautiful and I am so glad I discovered this amazing author. Will be reading more of their work for sure, high recommendation!
Love’s Refrain by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you love Nicholas sparks you are not going to want to miss this. Set in Whitley, Georgia the descriptions of the town scream out southern sweet romance. It may have been the October air here in my own hometown but I just snuggled up with a blanket and my kindle and time-traveled to and from present-day and 1947 and I didn’t want to come back to 2021. Katherine and Philip were destined to be together and nothing was going to stop them. The book alone is an incredible read and I already have the 2nd book in my Amazon cart just waiting to buy it the day it comes out! If you adore classic romance mixes with time travel you are in for a real treat.

This was such an entertaining book. The characters are well-written and so fun. From a toddler who can make an herb garden sprout and have WICKED temper tantrums to a sexy sea dragon and pink mermaid, this book has such fun and fantastical characters that you can’t help but love the book. Everyone has their part and their role to play. I love the zombie pirates. The plot was easy to follow. Entertaining for young and older adults. Highly recommend
