My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book will for sure put a Spell on you. I have always loved reading about magic and this author did not disappoint, giving us a courageous female lead, different characters all with different magical strengths, and a fantastic plot. When I found out that this book would focus on Italian magic I was super intrigued and I was definitely not disappointed. Annie was a very impressive character who goes through a lot and in the end she definitely came out stronger then I ever thought she would while reading her story. Full of emotions, suspense, magic and oh so much more this story was a brilliant read.

As a daughter of a cop, I was intrigued by the blurb of this book. This mystery suspense isn’t my typical read, but sometimes new books can surprise you. Alex Danvers and her new partner Xavier Knight have a new case. But that is not the only thing going on, who can you trust when everyone is working against you? Between the twists and turns and trying to solve the mystery, I enjoyed where the pieces fell.

I really had the bar set high for this book, as with any from India Cells. But man oh man, that bar wasn’t even in sight when this book soared over it! Incredible writing style, amazing plot and characters you can’t help but feel all the feels for! Lazarus was the perfect male lead and I hung on his every word, though and move. 10 out of 10 on another great Dark Sparrow book! Get it now!

Fall to Pieces by Becky Flade – Review by Barbara Stegall 
I love a good Cop book! Lexi is a widow and has many issues to deal within relation to her late husband. She thinks she knows who the killer is but there are things in her way to bring him to justice. Xavier is her new partner but he has another job to complete. The attraction is there and you can feel it as you turn the pages.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A wonderfully told story set along the shores of modern day Massachusetts and in Southern Italy’s, Old Country, both of which really came alive through the authors detailed and descriptive narrative. I could feel the Italian sun and the fresh salt air in Massachusetts. The storyline has it all, history, hereditary witchcraft, wonderful characters, amazing settings and, “Reincarnation, Family, Love, Hope, Suffering and Joy”, and of course magical liquor! All of which had me spellbound from page one. Angela Scotti (Annie), a third-year medical student has dreams of becoming a healer, but due to past tragedies her destiny or ‘Destino’ has other plans for her. Annie is also having difficulties whilst working at the hospital as her mentor has become an enemy, and then there is her successful lawyer fiancé who is giving her no support. Especially in regard to the urgent whispers she has started to hear at night.
The dual timeline aspect works well and reads flawlessly in this novel, from Italy in 1617 and 1899 and the stories of Annie’s predecessors, to modern day Massachusetts. I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this engaging novel, and felt as though I was there with Annie as she faces her past. The historical details made me feel immersed in the eras and the author has obviously done her research thoroughly. An enjoyable read which flowed well and kept me captivated from start to finish.

This story surrounds several generations of the same family with magical abilities. Wise women, witch or Strega? Doesn’t matter what you call them they have mystical abilities that make this story so much more interesting as you are guessing your way through all these abilities. A turn of events in Diana’s life means her and her sisters must flee the town their family has lived in all their lives. Was it right to do as she did or did she go against the basic principle that her abilities should harm none? What will her actions translate into in Annie’s life? I love the historical influences that are given throughout this novel. This tale is both story and character driven and has so many of those details that make a story a great one. I loved the back story that was given and found myself unable to put this story down until I read every last word. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and hope the author finds a way to make this a series!! I would love to read more.

This book is a romantic and suspenseful story that has been been written. I thought the story was well developed and had some interesting characters. It was an easy story to get into and the author has done a great job of adding in enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes.
This is the second book in the series however reading it our of order does not detract from the enjoyment. I thought the whole book was really well developed and the author knew exactly how to engage the reader. This is a great story and I am looking forward to reading more.

King Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #6)King Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As with the other books in this series this one is a real page turner. The time has come to finally take down the Bastard that started it all. In this dark world they are sick of the games of cat and mouse, where suspense and danger are the name of the game. Where secrets and lies have ruined it all but now is the time for it to end. It is time to find and take out the cold hearted monster who has caused so much pain and suffering and rain down ruin and cause havoc. I was on the edge of my seat and kept turning the pages forgoing sleep as I had to know what was coming but with all the twists and turns you don’t see what’s coming. The author paints a complex and multi layered story that is full of intrigue and action, lies and danger, hate and suspense, and so much more.
What would you do to keep all those you love safe?

This is a mystery thriller and the author is unknown to me but now I can’t wait to get my hands on more of her work. The author has cleverly woven the mystery into the tale that is compelling and engrossing. It wasn’t until after about half way through that I realised this was the second book in the series but I was enthralled with the story and read it in one sitting as I just couldn’t put it down. I tried but the story won out over sleep. Now I am anticipating reading the first book and making my back through book two. The characters are complex and full of flaws and all and you will fall in love with them.
Xavier is once again undercover. He has a knack for sniffing out the troubled or bad cops and she may just be one of them, as much as he is torn.
Lexi is feeling the weight of being a live wire, an unknown and the wrath of her department to her husband’s death. When her new partner comes to town there is something about him that may be her undoing in more ways than one.

This was a gripping story murder mystery with romance running through it. The characters were really well written. I loved Lexi’s character because she is strong and determined and she has overcome a lot to get where she is now. She give herself 100% to her job and bringing criminals to justice.
After losing her husband Lexi has thrown herself into her job however this isn’t always a smart idea.I love her character because she is strong and independent and is determined to get her killer.

Xavier has been brought in undercover to work as Lexi’s new partner. His job isn’t to help her solve the recent murder but on monitoring Lexi’s ability to do her job.

When a young boy is found murdered Lexi and Xavier now have to work together to get this child killer caught. But with all the secrets they both hold this case put their lives and jobs at risk. When romance is added to the mix things get more complicated and more dangerous. How will things go when the secrets are revealed? Can the focus on catching the killer before its too late?

Okay y’all. Here it is. The END OF THE LINE for The Dark Sparrow Series. And hot damn what a series it was. And it ended with my favorite silver fox of them all- the yummy delicious Oz. 🤤 This author poured some heart soul sweat and tears into this book because I felt all the feels (as per usual with this author) and it was great. I’m just so glad we finally (not that i was in a rush because I’m sad it’s over 🥺) got his book! I’ve really enjoyed learning about his character throughout the series and Inwas almost worried his book would be too hyped up in my head- but it was fantastic. What a great one! And I canNOT finish this review without mentioning Sasha- I really enjoyed her character throughout the series and I’m glad to see her story be told too! She’s so sarcastic and funny- as so many of the Sparrows are. I loved this series and I’m sad to see it coming to an end- although the journey was pretty amazing. Check these out y’all! 💖

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fraught with danger and uncertainty, Lazarus and Sasha’s journey was not for the faint hearted. It was gripping, intense and fast paced. The chemistry between the two was palpable and it was a race against time to find their way through to their HEA. The story was well constructed and meticulously detailed. It was written with fierce determination and the love story to end all love stories was the target. Perfectly executed and a fantastic, well rounded tale that elevated the heart rate and stole my breath. Where nothing turns out quite as expected and tension lurks at every corner, the end game was to make it out alive and protect above all else. Throw in obligation, loyalty and monster slaying, you have yourself one cracker of a story. Never boring, never lacking. Always giving. 5 stars.

This book we are introduced to Annie. A strega or “witch” in Italian. She is aiming to become a doctor and with her loving fiancée by her side…only she isn’t sure that this doctor thing is her passion, and her fiancée turns out to not be that great as well.
Annie soon embarks on a journey to find her calling and her true self. It becomes a eye opening journey that is taken with Annie and the gifts she finds and the strength she gains speak to who she is as well as the connection to women generations before her.

This book was such a great read! Witches and powerful women all entwined in one. The way the story provided past and present combined with a vast family history made it all the more fascinating. This is a first read for me by this author but the way she tells stories I can guarantee its not the last.

This is the sixth book in this series which I highly suggest reading all of the previous books to help your enhancement of this series and this author’s writings.

This is a suspenseful mystery that I enjoyed. It is a fast paced story that is full of action. A story where Detective Lexi works in a department that is totally working against her. But she is determined to bring a child killer to justice. This is a story full of secrets not only for the killer but also for Lexi and Xavier who could lose their jobs or even their life for this case. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters who are relatable. I enjoyed Lexi’s character the most as she is a determined female who goes after what she wants. She made the story fun and entertaining for me. This is an engaging story that was hard to put down. The twists and turns had me turning pages fast just to see what would happen next. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

I loved this author’s writing, they made the story flow so easily, it was so easy to get hooked and lost in the story and the characters, there was so much to knot, and a want to know so very much more! I loved the character growth I saw, the sorry was interesting and yet addictive at the same time!

I think the thing I loved most as well as truly enjoyed about this novel, is the emotions that went along with this book. With Lazarus and his love, you did not just hear the words he spoke of how he felt about her, you literally lived it. It was a mind sweeping romance of love and passion, that was more than real, and was something so easily to visualize! I loved the emotions the author made the reader feel!

The suspense the novel gave me regarding Lazarus and his life style was so intriguing, honestly I have to say it was off the wall amazing. From passion and romance to danger and action, it was the perfect bundle of what I wanted. This book was very enjoyable and freaking amazing! It kept me hooked on every word and every turn, it was a great, fun and fast pace read, loved every minute of this ride.

I loved this book truly, and this is one if your into the romantic suspense reads as I am you for sure will devour this book as I did. This author is truly gifted and knew what they were doing as they built the story and plot! Amazing read! Defiantly a high recommendation, this one is very much worth a read!

This was such a bittersweet read for me. Having read all the previous instalments, I connected with this band of brothers and looked forward to following each one as they got their own book. So, knowing this was the last book in the series was a little sad- I was sooo not ready to say goodbye…. But at the same time, I desperately wanted to know how things would finally play out, but more importantly, getting a front row seat to the ‘Oz’ show- and what a fantastic show it was!! Ms. Kells definitely had me completely engrossed in the story- I devoured the book in a couple of hours, just so I could find out what happens.
King Bastard is the sixth and final book in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells. It is an addictive romantic suspense- full of action, adventure, tension, danger, chemistry, intrigue, gripping developments, emotion, drama, complex characters, sizzling encounters, romance, family dynamics, agendas, and so much more. As expected, the story is superbly written, with a complex and multi-layered storyline that was so much more than I anticipated. What a way to wrap up the series! I loved every intense minute!!
I highly recommend this book- but if you have yet to read the rest of the series, I really recommend that you do as each book helps to build a bigger picture- trust me- you will find that one story is not enough! Prepare to develop an India Kells addiction!
Even though this instalment wraps up this series and I am sad to say goodbye, I know Ms. Kells will have something amazing in the works that will be just as enjoyable and addictive as this series has been. She never fails to deliver the goods! So excited to see what she does next!
Happy reading!

Thank you, India Kells!

I am new to this authors work.
This may be a love/hate relationship.
With a very complex plot an very large time jump the story falls into place, keep reading.
The story of a girl marked for death on the day of her birth.
Omens, witchcraft and secrets.
This story takes place in the main characters past and present.
The detail that the author took in explaining the story is amazing and worth the confusion of setting 100%
These characters are my new friends I know them so well.
Half way through I finally caught on to the time aspect and the entire story came together.
If you are a fan of witchcraft and suspense love to be left wondering this is a story for you.
I feel that I know the main character I am really falling for the female ear trope.
Expect the unexpected.
This is a solid four stars.

What an amazingly beautiful story of women of the past and present! This is like multiple stories combined into one fantastic tale. We begin with Annie’s ancestors and what their life was like. It is so vividly described, I felt like, I was right there. It is a story set in the old country, giving us a set up to the present. Then we are back to present day and Annie. Feeling stuck and at a crossroads, she takes a break from her life and learns so much.

The people are what make this book phenomenal. All of them — both of the past and the present — are unique and add to the story. This is a story of the endurance of women over the years through love and loss, and everything that comes between. It makes you stop and be thankful for who and what you have. And to never stop believing.

I am so happy to have found this wonderful tale and be immersed in it. It brought joy to by soul and I highly recommend it to those who like women’s fiction with a bit of magic mixed in.

You feel everything. The plot just grabs you and keeps you engaged and not wanting to leave. This author is another of my favorite. Her books are very engaging. This series has been one of my favorites to read. I definitely recommend you get out and give this one a shot. You won’t be disappointed if you like action, suspense and romance.

Strega: Magic: The Spirit Never Dies is a magical story of the legacy of family and love. I was excited to pick up a new book by this author. I was not disappointed. I have really enjoyed her other books but this was a different type of style for her. The links between the different time periods and how this forms the legacy of the main character kept me intrigued and wanting more. There was a variety of emotions entwined with magical elements. The story is beautiful and reminded me of books by Alice Hoffman. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

This novel, was amazing from start to finish! I had read other works by this gifted author, but this one truly had me under its spell. I was hooked and even rattled at times, I could not find a reason to put it down, one more chapter always turned into, well, I need more answers, it was so darn good!\

There was a lot of appeal for me and this novel. I found it haunting at times with a suspense that kept on building as I had read on through! Honestly I did not expect how much it had made a clear mind think, there was things that came to question I would not get normally in a suspenseful novel. I did very much welcome it though! This was a suspenseful thriller set to do with politicians, that was unlike any other!

Neve was wonderful, her characterization was through the roof of being exceptional! I really connected with her, in ways more less that one would not think or believe. The supporting characters were wonderful as well, and a true aid to the story. The whole plot was gripping, and watching it unfold, well it was better and more shocking than I had even hoped for! This was extremely well done!

I could not honestly get enough of this book. The story keeps you in suspense, and the romantic side was a very nice realistic touch as well. It was just so good, I could not put it down, in the sense of , I kept wanting more! I highly recommend this suspenseful thriller, seriously, not one to be past up!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was drawn to Strega due to the supernatural element of witchcraft. I’ll be honest I was off put when I first started reading it. I was really confused trying to figure out what was going on.
It starts with Annie’s baptism then automatically jumps back hundreds of years in time. I understand now it was to build the backstory it all ties together.
In saying all that, trust me when I say give this book a chance. I considered giving up on it, but I’m glad I didn’t and pushed through. It was definitely worth it.
Definitely different in its own right, but at the same time falls right in line with other books in the genre once you figure it all out.
I’m all about supernatural elements in stories but the tragedy in this story is sad but it breeds love and happiness.
Again I’ll say read it, don’t let confusion force you to put it down because you will be missing out!
