Dead Magic by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dead Magic by India Kells a five-star read that will bring magic alive. This is number three in the Sanctuary Chronicles, but they can be read as stand-alone, but you will want to read them all once you start. This story has great pace, you won’t be able to put it down, you have to know what will happen. Violet and Finn both have a battle and history they face, hearing from both of them helps you understand where they come from. Helps you understand and get deeper with the story, the chemistry in this story is sublime and will keep you aflame, but it’s the romance that really made the story.

The Equalizer: Foxxy’s Tipping Point by Allyson R. Abbott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Equalizer: Foxxy’s Tipping Point (Foxxy: The Equalizer Book 1) by Allyson Abbott is a quick and enjoyable read. I had actually read this story before but was remiss in leaving a review. I enjoy all Allyson’s books and this story is well written and the plot flowed smoothly. It is also a very emotive story that gives you as much headache as it does joy. The characters are well developed and I fell in love with their easy banter and their plots for revenge and justice had me laughing. It is a tale of starting over after living a life where there was not an option of getting out, no matter how hard you dream. But when fate steps in all it takes is one look and anything is possible under the right circumstances.
Foxxy is used to her life but her dream is to get out. When a chance encounter changes her life she can hardly believe it but before she goes there is one thing she needs to do. Just how sweet is revenge and justice?

Being Lost: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #1 by Manda Mellett is another fantastic book in this new spin off series of the Satan’s Devils MC. And like wind therapy this book is great to settle back and get lost in. Manda is my go to girl for MC books and I am always amazed how she keeps track of all the characters and always makes these alpha men swoon worthy. This book, like the others, has hair raising and on the edge of the seat moments but when this band of brothers come together you know you are in safe hands. It was nice to see the characters were a little older than the norm as well.
Lost is the Prez of the club and a great in shape silver fox who still has the moves but he is content with life but still has doubts about his leadership. That is until he sees Patsy, now all he wants is someone to wrap in his arms and share his life with. But in true biker style nothing is ever that easy.
Patsy has unknowingly been singled out and her life in danger, now she must put her trust in the men of the MC to keep her safe.
This is one series that is timeless and could go on forever and if it does I will be right there with them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dead Magic: (The Sanctuary Chronicles #3) by India Kells is a fantastic paranormal romance and great addition to the series. India weaves a magical tale of two wonderful characters and an unlikely pairing finding love through magic and mayhem with many magical beings, Witches, Vampires, Werewolves, Dragons and more. There is a lot going on in the story that kept me engrossed. I got lost in it and couldn’t put it down reading it in one sitting! I suggest reading all the books in order as the characters from the other books are all in it.
Violet is a witch who will do nothing to stop the evil and help those who she loves. She is fiery and finds herself with an attractions that should not be. When her world is turned upside down she loses herself from what she was to what she is becoming. She is terrified and hurt and the one person she should hate is the one person who she needs.
Finn is a very, very old Vampire who has had enough of the life he leads and has decided to disappear. There is one witch who has caught his attention but he knows it can never be, that is until he feels the horror and pain she is in. It is a race against time to find her and help her. Will they both survive?
Book 4 can’t come quick enough.

This is my first book by this author and i thought it was an interesting one. It was well written and had a completely different feel than anything I have read recently. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world after most of mankind have been wiped out. This is not for the faint of heart because it is raw and emotional and thought provoking. Definitely worth the read if that is your thing and you need a different book to take over your weekend!
Happy reading!

The Matchmaker and The Marine: A Second Chance Small-Town Romance by Lucinda Race is a lovely second chance romance. It is well written and the characters are easy to fall in love with. They are each flawed and scared and both learning to get on with life after heartbreak and tragedy. If only they could set it aside and learn to trust again and take a step back and see what is right in front of their faces. It is a sweet and easy read to get lost in and makes for a nice afternoon reading.

Love Gaia: The Diary Directive by TL Clark was a captivating read. The point of views switching from past to present was uniquely done. I appreciated it in the YA dystopia setting so much. I enjoyed Ahora and her friends, they were so naive and innocent. The topics covered really hit close to home but it was still an uplifting read.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew my mind. It has been a while since I read a dystopian story but she exceeded all my expectations. This book has a couple of triggers in it so be aware of them but it is truly a great book to read. It only took me a couple of hours to devour this amazing story.
Aroha and her classmates live in a new age now. There are a lot of things that are different but you don’t want to repeat the past. They are living in a very sheltered life where they have things done for them. One day Aroha and her classmates have their world shaken. They have to find out what they are really made of. Will they be able to find it out why Dr. Rachel did what she had to do or will it be too late?

Wrapped Up in You
By Erin Bevan
5 out of 5 stars
The story Wrapped Up in You by Erin Bevan is a book that I loved reading. It is a story that is romantic and a sweet, wonderful holiday book. It pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. I loved reading about the characters of Princess Jenny Claus and Logan Moss. Jenny has a large responsibility. She must pick from suitors for the one to take the role of Santa as well as her husband. And she must do this in the next three weeks. Logan is a pilot who has woken up after his plane crashed in a world that he always thought was make-believe. When he meets Jenny he is fascinated with her. The only problem is that he has partial amnesia and doesn’t remember if he has a wife. Will Logan regain his memories? What does the future hold for Jenny? Who will she marry? Read this book to find out. I love Christmas stories, and this is a good example of why. I grew to love Jenny and Logan with each chapter that I read. Other additional characters have a part to play in the story and I enjoyed reading about them. This is a story that is romantic and has heartwarming moments. Don’t miss out on a story that you will not want to put down until the very last page. I highly recommend reading it.

I loved reading the book Being Lost (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #1) by Manda Mellett. It is a story that had me hooked from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. It is a story that includes romance, suspense, danger, mystery, brotherhood, and family. I loved reading about the characters of Lost and Patsy. Lost is the Prez of the San Diego chapter of Satan’s Devils. He is also a man that has doubts about himself and is haunted by what he sees as mistakes from his past. How could he ever ask for someone to trust him when he doesn’t have faith in himself? Patsy made a painful decision in which she had to make a new life for herself. When danger appears so do the Satan’s Devils. She needs protection and to be kept safe. Will the one man who is Lost be able to provide both? What does the future hold for Lost and Patsy? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me turning pages to find out what is going to happen next. It also had my emotions going up and down the entire time. This is an author who knows how to write MC club books and this is just the next amazing example. I love reading about all of the characters in the Satan’s Devils club as well as those who interact and are part of their day to day lives. Other characters have evil plans and agendas that need to be stopped. Will they? This book had some twists that I didn’t see coming. This is a story that I would highly recommend reading.
Love Gaia: The Diary Directive by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Love Gaia: The Diary Detective, by TL Clark, is described in the blurb as “A post-nuclear war, dystopian vs. utopian, environmental romance”…and it is just that.
This author is new to me and I was drawn in as I was intrigued by the description.
Aroha and her classmates finally get to learn the truth about the world they live in. It looks different to the world we live in now as it was almost wiped out. The lesson comes in an unusual form, a diary.
Dr Rachel has been dragged away from her life and her family. She starts her diary to keep an account of what her life is like now, and what Rachel and her peers suffer in order to save the rest of humanity.
Love Gaia takes a look at what the future could look like if mistakes are made. It’s up to Aroha and her classmates to protect their world and prevent it happening again.
I really enjoyed this book. It is my first book by TL Clark, I enjoyed the style of writing and found myself wanting to keep reading to know what happens. I particularly enjoyed the way the link to the last was through the diary entries. There is a lot to think about when reading it.
I would recommend this and think young adults in particular would enjoy this.

This one is no different. It is a well written story that made me feel as if I was a part of it. It is a story of starting over, revenge and getting justice. When a handsome man enters the picture will that change things? Is there justice in the future? How will fate step in and take over? There is quite a bit going on in this story but I found it easy to keep up with. This is a really great story that has characters I had no problems connecting to. They are well developed and made the story pop. I highly recommend this fast paced story and this great author.

I enjoyed this Christmas fairytale. This is a story that reads like a fairytale with a princess and maybe even a prince charming. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites of her yet. It is a well written story that made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. I had no problem connecting to them and they made the story easy to read. It is a great holiday story that takes place in a place that most people don’t believe exists. At least Logan didn’t think so until he crashed into it. He is attracted to Princess Jenny right from the start. When he hears that she needs a husband within the next three weeks, he thinks that he fits the bill. The problem is he can’t remember if he already has a wife or not. Will he remember in time for them to have a happy ever after? I found myself hoping that they would end up together in the end but you will have to read this book to find out. I highly recommend reading this book and this author.

This played to my romantic heart with a foot kept firmly in reality. I had a hard time putting this down and simply wanted to spend more time with these characters. Beautiful book.

Dares & Dice is the 5th book in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. I have read the whole series so I knew what I was getting into with this book, and it followed similar to the previous books. Each book focuses on one couple, and takes place in Spicetopia, the adult theme park in the Bahamas. The characters in this one are Makenna and Ty, who travel to Spicetopia on their bachelorette and bachelor party. They are not engaged to each other, but rather are travelling with their bridal party, looking for one last good time. They are in a casino, and their groups join up for a drink, and maybe a little fun… When they are approached by a Spicetopia employee, offering them a competitve scavenger hunt with a $10,000 prize. They quickly pair up and set out for a wild night. What they didnt expect was for sparks to fly, leaving both questioning their future.
You can probably read this book as a standalone, but I don’t recommend it. The series is fun and spicy, and have overlapping characters.

I have read other books from this author and this one is also well done. I really enjoy the stories brought by this author as well as how the characters and story are developed. This story brought me into what Aroha and her classmates were experiencing with such fine detail.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am a huge fan of this series. Every time a new book comes out I lounge on the couch and can usually finish it in a day or two. Dares & Dice was no different. Phoebe Alexander hit the jackpot when she started this series. I absolutely love it. Dares & Dice is book # 5 and each book is better then the last!
This book is about two sets of people. Makenna is there with her maid of honor and 3 bridesmaids while Ty is there with his best man and 3 groomsmen. What are the odds they will break up into teams for a scavenger hunt? Well they do and they decide 5 groups of 2 would make up the teams. I love the 2 main characters Makenna and Ty. They are both set to get married in the next few weeks but, is it really what they want? Ty has some secrets about who he really is and it will come out eventually. I thought Ty and Makenna were both 2 strong characters. Makenna is such a good girl and her fiancé has no idea how good she really is.
Makenna and Ty get very close during the hunt but then it is cut short and they don’t get to say goodbye. Will they have another chance meeting? I was appalled by what Makenna finds out when she gets back from her honeymoon. This was such a great read and an awesome addition to the series. I can’t wait to see if there are any more books. Dares & Dice can be read as a stand-alone.
