Whisper Creek: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 7 by Valerie Davisson – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Whisper Creek (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 7)Whisper Creek by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book seven in the ‘Logan McKenna Mystery’ series and having read and enjoyed all of the previous books I was looking forward to this latest novel and was not disappointed. It was great being back with the heroine of the stories, Logan, who now feels like an old friend. Logan and Ben our now engaged and Logan has made an unexpectedly profitable music video with the help of her students, which has gone viral. Whilst visiting Oregon on a consulting gig Logan is distracted worrying that the video and the money will effect her relationship with Ben, but she soon has other things to worry about when she stumbles upon a dead body.

When her friends turn out to be the prime suspects, Logan investigates to protect them and discover the true murderer. However with four suspects, endless motives, false accusations and a web of lies Logan has her work cut out to discover the truth and prevent further killings. As usual this is a real page turner which had me hooked from page one. The exciting storyline has plenty of plot twists that kept me guessing until the end. I love Logan and she is a great main character who is very relatable and who really brings the story together. I like the dynamic between her and Ben and the romance element this brings to the story. This is a suspenseful story which had me happily turning the pages well into the night, and I definitely recommend this engaging and enjoyable read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dating the It Guy by Krysten Lindsay Hager is a sweet young adult romance. It is a clean story that also deals with some deeper issues. There were times that I struggle to connect with the main characters, mainly Emme although I think the author does a good job of portraying the rollercoaster that is being a teenager. I liked that there was more to the story as well. With the family issues the characters experience it gave a little more depth to the book. This is an overall enjoyable book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my this was so, so, so, good! I really enjoy just about everything that I have read from Ms. Lewandowski so when I saw the gorgeous teasers from Saratoga Roan on my feed I knew without a doubt that I needed this story in my life ASAP, so I one-clicked and dove right on it without a single hesitation. I was instantly swept away by this second chance love story and very real and raw portrayal of what it is like to live and survive the trials of watching someone we love and care for deteriorate before our eyes as well. Almost a reverse love story as well. As children we grow up and with a veil over our eyes shielding us from the pain that will come when our parents will inevitably be older and someday no longer be who they once were. In this case we see Rhett’s struggle with his father and Alzheimer’s, a devastating condition that had to be difficult to write about but Lewandowski did with such grace and a passion that was evident with every word. I was numbed with sadness and yet soothed with the romance that was at play too. This is a book that you don’t want to miss and one that I would be happy to re-read for sure. I can’t wait to see what will come next from Bree M. Lewandowski!

Whisper Creek (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 7)Whisper Creek by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the seventh book in the Logan McKenna series and they just keep getting better and better. I have read these books from the first one and it’s been amazing to see Logan blossom and transform throughout the series.
Logan’s life seems to be on an even keel now. Her job is going well, she is engaged to Ben and everything seems good in the world. However trouble always seems to find Logan.

Firstly a video her student makes of her music goes viral making her a wealthy woman, but Logan is concerned about how this will affect her relationship with Ben. Will he be supportive or will it come between them

Secondly on her trip for work she stumbles across a dead body. With her friends looking like the prime suspects she now needs to use her skills as an investigator to solve this case before the murderer strikes again.

This book is action packed and has so much depth with the relationships Logan has with Ben and her friends. You get dragged into Logan’s world and you aren’t let go until the end. I can’t wait to see what will happen next

Unsettled Scores by Kel O’Connor – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Unsettled Scores (DAG Team #2)Unsettled Scores by Kel O’Connor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unsettled Scores by Kel O’ Connor is book 2 in the DAG Team Series. Amy Stuart has been estranged from her family for three years since the death of her sister Audrey, something that she blames herself for. After her sister’s abduction and death, Amy sets her sights on the drug lord responsible and swears to get revenge on him. When she is hired by lawyer Hugh Bainbridge IV to investigate who is smuggling drugs into his mother’s charity Amy is brought face-to-face with her arch nemesis. Amy now has the chance to fulfill the revenge she has been carefully planning for the past three years.

What Amy never expected was to fall for Hugh, a good-looking lawyer who dresses in sweatpants and is like nobody that she has ever met before. Hugh also finds himself falling for the feisty, strong-willed, and intelligent Amy. As Amy closes in on the drug lord who killed her sister, she finds herself forced to choose between love for Hugh, and revenge for her sister Audrey’s death. Which will she choose?

Unsettled Scores is a real page turner. It is very well written, and the characters are ones you find yourself drawn to. I found myself intrigued by Amy and I admired her strength, resilience, and courage in the face of danger. Although Amy was strong, she also had moments of weakness which made her more likable because the reader could see that Amy was human and that not everyone can be strong all the time. This book is a must read.

Saratoga RoanSaratoga Roan by Bree M. Lewandowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I truly loved this book and how much it pulled at my heart strings, it not only made me feel a lot of emotions, but got me thinking on my own personal life, sometimes you lose something dear, but does lightening strike in the same spot twice? If you lost something but that bolt of lightening hit again would you embrace it or this time truly lose it forever?

Cassandra and Rhett had a good relationship from what I understood of their past. Cassandra ended things, and may have basically hurt Rhett when he needed her the most out of anyone he knew. It seemed she had put his heart more into darkness than he already was. Years go by and a surprise meeting of them spending time together makes them re surface. Can years of hard feelings be put aside or will they truly consume anything they once had? In truth something I believe they both realized, just because something is lost maybe, just maybe its not truly gone forever?

There was so much to this amazing book aside from just Cassandra and Rhett’s story. The characters surrounding them really brought everything going on to life in more ways than one! The story was real and so was all the emotional tolls of pain and sufferings, to happy and wonderful feelings, to tears I shed for the characters and how those characters affected others. The book was more than just a good read, it was a must read for me. I loved the work by this author how they completely sucked me in and made me feel well basically everything possible among these wonderful characters I read about!

All in all, this was an amazing book and I truly cherished every moment I read in this very engaging story. The author completely took my soul and made me on the same land as the characters I so very much connected with. It was beautiful from start to finish. I highly recommend reading this true treasure!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There are so many good things that I could say about this book! The first book in the Funerals and Weddings series by Bernadette Marie, Something Lost is a great start to what I assume will be a fantastic series!

When his college basketball coach dies from illness, Craig Turner goes to his funeral and reconnects with multiple people from his past, including the coach’s daughter Rachel. Ten years had passed since he had seen her last, but the chemistry between them proves to be strong as ever as they reconnect over the span of the book.

One of the things that I loved about the book was the focus on mental illness. It was interesting to see just how much mental illness can impact a family. I hope that the future books in the series also focus a bit on mental illness, because the author did a very good job at making the reader relate to and understand what the characters were going through.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Everyone can appreciate a badass heroine; and a hero that does not feel intimidated when she’s in her element. I enjoyed reading this novel. It sheds light on how guilt can cripple one’s ability to let go of the past and its negative effects. I liked the connection between the hero and heroine and appreciated that it was realistic. In that, Amy had to choose between holding on to her guilt and letting it continue to fester or be willing to let it go for something that brings healing and happiness. I also appreciated that the onus was on her to decide and know what is best for herself. This novel was a mixture of intrigue, suspense and romance and one that I enjoyed reading immensely.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love and appreciate the concept of second chances. I cherish rectifying wrongs, healing past hurts and mending broken relationships. I thought that Something Lost was a typical second chance story- but imagine my delight when I found out that it was something more! While I understand the importance of primary characters, I also relished the interactions of the secondary characters. This novel encompasses broken relationships, not only intimate relationships but also friendships and family relationships. Something Lost has so many layers and beautiful complexities. There are some triggering scenes; however, it does not take away from the novel but adds a realistic point of view to the book. I wholeheartedly recommend Something Lost and hope that you too will have that second chance to mend that which is broken and turn it into something beautiful.

Bernadette Marie did a great job at creating her little world within this series. I have so far only read the first book but I absolutely adore books that follow character storylines from other perspectives.
“Something Lost” is a fantastic palette cleanser for someone who is in the need of a light hearted romance with a bit of a spin. The entire story has you thinking “what’s going to happen next?!”; each sentence is like a cliffhanger!
The minute detail that was included, simply to bring the scene together in the reader’s head was absolutely on point. 10/10 would recommend!

I felt my soul healing while reading this book. We hold on to so much of our past and the demons of those that came before us that we never give ourselves the chance to really live. This book is filled with life lessons, magic, pain, and grief. But more importantly it’s about being in tune with oneself and breaking shackles placed upon you, loving oneself and sharing that love with the world. I enjoyed its ties to the land, Latin American folklore and the authors way of telling a story. It gave me a lot to think about. I highly recommend this book.

Amy knocked this one out of the park-with strong, relatable, likeable, and resilient characters and a complex plot. No Way Out grabbed and retained my attention the minute I started reading; I was anxious and excited to see how the story unfolded. I appreciated the similarities and the contrast between Max and Lil regarding their childhood and how it influenced them as adults. I also appreciated that they took the time to know each other regardless of the whirlwind of happenings around them. I’m a sucker for accountability- so I contented with the end result of the antagonist. READER BEWARE: Way Out will reel you and take you on a rollercoaster of a literary adventure!

This was a beautiful romance. It was heartbreaking in parts and the anger that is between Rhett and Cassandra at the start really hurts. But you can feel feel characters grown through this book and as they mature they realise that things aren’t always what the seem.

Cassandra and Rhett dated year ago but after several attempts by Cassandra to take their relationship physical and Rhett pulling back all the time she got annoyed and left.
Why if he claims to love her won’t he show it?

Fast forward and Rhett is now running his father’s stables and Cassandra returns determined to make Rhett hers and get the man back she loves.
However things are that simple and something that plagues Rhett could derail their relationship again.
Will they work it out this time? Or will one of them run away again?.

No Way Out (Mafia Elite Book 1) by Amy McKinley was a captivating book from the first page. The book is filled with developed characters that keep you wondering what they will do next as the story plays out. It is my first read and not going to be my last read by Amy McKinley. The way she writes her characters it is easy to feel for them whether is it pity, hate, or love. I simply could not put the book down. I just had to keep reading to find out more.

Lilliana is a mafia princess, but not your average one. She is a strong female lead that is determined, skilled, and not a damsel in distress. With a rough life that holds no escape except as a pawn to ensure her father’s power. She has a group of girlfriends that are more like sisters to her and always there to support her. Under her father’s care she is nothing more than a pawn to be played at the right time for his selfish desire for power. She wants nothing to do with being his bargaining chip, but how will she find freedom? Trading one caged life for another to a man of his choosing? Or is there another way?

Life changing events for the ever-cruel Brambilla boss set a new start to things in the mafia world. Enter assassin Matteo Trambino the guise Max takes on with his plan of his own devised to save her from her dangerous father. As the new bodyguard to Lil, he witnesses firsthand the life the mafia princess lives. It drives him even more to follow through with his mission, even if parts of that may be changing as the story progresses. Will he succeed in what he has been sent to do or will he fail?

An amazing read that I would recommend to anyone!

This was the second book in the DAG team series by this author and was just as good as the first in my opinion. I would highly recommend that you read these books in order, so you are aware of the previous story and events as opposed to reading this one by itself. And believe me, the first one is a great thriller as well so you will be sitting on the edge of your seats reading them both. This one I felt had a little more romance than the first book did which I loved, but the drama and suspense is what makes this story. The author has an amazing knack for describing the characters as well as the events taking place around them, so I truly was able to picture this happening in front of my own eyes. This was another page turner for me as I couldn’t put it down, so I was reading past midnight to finish it. But it was all well worth it. If you love suspenseful books, you need to read this series.

This is the first book in this series by this author. I am quite familiar with her writing as I have previously read books written by her for other series. I think she is a wonderful writer with some of the best descriptive writing I have read. She honestly keeps me on the edge of my seat biting my nails with every book she writes. This was probably the best book I’ve read by her to date. I immediately fell connected with the main characters and they did not let me down. This book was full of suspense and drama, but the romance was sizzling hot! I cannot wait until she releases the next book in this series to see where what happens next.

Runaway to the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction, #2)Runaway to the Outback by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely adore the Bunya Junction series by Nicole Flockton that focuses on the Carruthers siblings and finding their match. In this second in the series, Runaway to the Outback, we find out more about Jonas Carruthers, the local pub owner of Bunya Junction. One day, a woman, Pandora Sebastian, walks into his pub in a wedding dress. Speculation of being a runaway bride leads to the discovery that Pandora is a model and has run off her photoshoot. She escapes to the small town of Bunya Junction and discovers that the small town is in fact a wonderful place full of people who genuinely care for others. We follow the tale of Jonas and Pandora and discover to trust in others along the way.
I enjoy the people of Bunya Junction and how the are all there for one another. This is such a rare thing these days that I instantly want to meet these characters in the real world. I appreciate the secondary story lines mixed throughout the main one, such as Ray, the sweet and lovable storyteller of the pub and town. Although sometimes I wanted to yell at Jonas for being a sulking and stubborn man, he is a great character and takes criticism well from his siblings. I also appreciate the tease into the 3rd book about Scott and now I anxiously await its release.

Goddess of EverythingGoddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III is one of the best psychological horror books I believe I have ever read since Stephen King or Dean Koontz. This author has given me the creepiest case of the wiilies that I have ever had. Gabriel has grown up with “Mom of the Year.” She also happens to be Mother Superior. Oh, and did I mention that she has some creepy supernatural powers that she uses to hurt people, including Gabriel, his wife and child? Through the years, we see Mother Juana pretend to be awesome and use her powers to hurt people. Gabriel has always had the power of light on his side. This story is an intense battle of good and evil. Gabriel and his wife, Consuela, are trying to protect their child and the children from the orphanage. Consuela is the one to show that Mother Juana is a mother-in-law from Hell. You can feel the tension and suspense as you read. I love a good story that leaves me so creeped out, I need a night on. Well-written and well-developed, this is a worthy purchase and must-read for all fans of horror and suspense!!!! Paul DeBlassie III is now one of new favorites. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Phenomenal book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Something Lost by Bernadette Marie is book one of the Funerals and Weddings series. Second chance romances are one of my favorite tropes and this book is no exception!

Craig and Rachel broke the rules when they dated in high school but that didn’t stop them from falling in love. As it does, the real world got in the way and they both went separate ways. Now they are forced back together. Craig and Rachel have both experienced some highs and lows since they’ve been separated but there is some rekindling of their spark when they see each other again. They definitely have hurdles in their way. Can Rachel face her traumas to be with Craig and can he handle the baggage or will these two fizzle out like they did before?

I enjoyed this book. There was a lot of emotion and the characters were well developed. It really felt like you were right next to them going through this story. I can’t wait to see what this series has in store for the rest of the characters!

If you are a fan of mystery and suspense, then look no further than this book Silent Gavel which is the first book in the Crawford Mystery duo by Merissa Racine. This quick read is a cross between is a ‘whodunit’ cozy mystery and thriller. The plot is full of suspense and intrigue, and I was so engrossed that before I knew it, I was at the end. I enjoyed the originality of the story and the characters, well most of them. Merissa incorporates her knowledge of being a court reporter and infused it as part of the story.

Lauren is in a fight for her freedom, but can she solve the case without ruffling too many feathers and landing herself with a life sentence?

Dating the It Guy is a young adult romance by Krysten Lindsay Hager. As far as stories in this genre go, it was not a bad story. There was a lot contained in these pages. Emotion, tension, insecurities, competition and a lot more. The characters were varied and each carried their own complexities. There was also the ever present teenage drama to add to the mix. The author penned a fairly decent story that was appealing, engaging and never lacking in dramatic flair. A great story for lovers of this trope. 4 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No Way Out is book 1 of the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. I am a sucker for a good mafia romance and I am also a sucker for a great book by Amy McKinley. And WOW does she kick this series off right!

Liliana is born into this mafia lifestyle and knows that something is going on with her dad. He’s becoming more agitated and always angry. One thing that Liliana knows is that it somehow includes her. And not in a good way. The only problem is will she be able to find out what he’s up to in time to save herself?

Max (undercover as Matt) is working to take down the people who took what rightfully belongs to him. Even though Liliana is a part of the family that he’s going after, he swears to protect her.

I love the character of Liliana. She’s strong and knows that she has to protect herself from the monsters that surround her. And I loved reading about the relationship between her and Max. What a great story!

Swindler’s Revenge is the fifth book in the Karina Cardinal Mysteries series by Ellen Butler. This series keeps getting better and better as they continue. Karina is on the hunt again. This time to help her ex, Mike, out of the trouble he is in with the FBI. This series can be read as standalones, but I highly recommend they be read in order to get the full effect of the backstory. I absolutely adore the way Ms. Butler injects a bit of humor into her stories. This one had me laughing out loud at the same time guessing how it was going to end. This is my new favorite of this series. I highly recommend this book, series and author. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Runaway to the Outback by Nicole Flockton is the second book in the series A Welcome to Bunya Junction Romance. Jonas Carruthers runs the pub in Bunya Junction, a meeting place for the locals. One Saturday afternoon, the pub patrons cease their conversations when a bride walks into the pub. The bride isn’t a local resident and as the bride walks towards the bars and sits down in front of Jonas all he can ask is, “What can I get you?” It is scenes like this that Ms. Flockton does a wonderful job describing to bring you into the world of Bunya Junction that gets me sucked into reading her books. I love the way Jonas and Pandora Sebastian (the woman who isn’t a bride but is a famous model) begin talking to each other and finding they interact and work together well. I really enjoyed this book and had a good laugh at the last scene. I hope you love it as much as I did!
