4 Stars The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics by Paul McCarthy
The Hand of God is history suspense that teaches us the history of nuclear weapons and how they can be used. I was fascinated by the cover but a little hesitant about reading as nuclear weapons isn’t really my thing. But I’m glad I did. It’s a fast-paced eye opener and a bit scary at the same time. Its thought provoking and really makes you think. I know know and understand more about nuclear weapons and the power behind them and of course the political side. I’m glad I jumped into this not knowing what exactly to expect because I learned so much. I recommend reading this fast-paced book. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Over her shoulder, Vanessa viewed The Academy for Young Ladies fading in the distance behind the carriage. Turning forward with a sigh of relief, she relaxed. She could hardly wait to catch her first glimpse of Hill House again.
Upon her arrival, she never expected to have her guardian residing in her home. If she considered him at all, she imagined him in the background, guarding her interest from afar as he had in the past. Nor did she expect to find her aunt by marriage apparently in charge of the household. Adding to her dismay, her aunt’s relatives were dwelling in Hill House as well.
Most disturbing of all, Vanessa found signs of a ghost dwelling in the house too, filling her with unease and dread.

For fans of ACOTAR and The Bridge Kingdom, this romantic fantasy about a noblewoman who falls into a forbidden world and the dangerous outcast who can save her is a page-turning adventure!
Rowan Undervale is nobody’s hero.
With dark magic that’s made him an outcast, Rowan cares for one person and one person only: his brother Phaedron. When a monster from the Worlds Above attacks his brother, Rowan manages to save Phaedron’s life. But when that first monster is followed by a second, this time a woman looking for her prince, Rowan is ready to hand the lady over to the king and be done with monsters forever.
But his brother asks for a favor… so Rowan promises to look after the woman, at least until he can get her back to the Worlds Above. Rowan is certain he’ll be able to find a hole in the barrier between their worlds.
But will he be able to let her go?
Lady Arryn came to the land of monsters to rescue her prince.
It’s what any lady would do for the man she’d been raised to marry. Besides, rescuing the prince might finally be enough to force the king to agree to the marriage her parents have been trying to arrange for her entire life.
But the frozen Lands Below are nothing like Arryn expected. And Rowan, the brilliant and bitter sentry who is now her only hope of finding her prince or returning to the Worlds Above, possesses strange, horrific magic. What’s worse, he treats her far more like an equal than like a lady.
And the most terrifying part is, she’s starting to like him. Snarky and steamy, Heart’s Rescue is an enemies-to-lovers adventure with dual point-of-view (his and hers). The first in a series of connected stand-alone novels, this sweeping tale of love, survival, and discovery ends with a hard-won Happily Ever After and is perfect for readers looking for a sprinkle of spice in their next swoon-worthy, passionate romantasy.
Raised by wolves in the mountains of Colorado, Meredith Hart traveled the world to seek her fortune, fell in love with a half-elf ranger, and now lives in a cabin deep in the Maine woods where she writes steamy fantasy romance with snarky, reluctant heroes and the warrior women who love them.
She also writes mythology-inspired paranormal romance under the pen name Samantha MacLeod, and she has occasionally been known to pen a poem or two. Sometimes they even make it into her books.
Portugal, 1873 A prudish princess on a mission… Princess Isabel de Orleans would do anything for Portugal. When her brother, the king, asks for her help, she agrees to travel to Spain to defuse a diplomatic crisis. A beloved rake as a babysitter… Henrique, Viscount Penafiel, has no roots. He prepares to sail to greener pastures when his best friend blackmails him into accompanying the princess to an aristocratic-filled seaside resort. Passion versus patriotism… With his wit and ever-present grin, Henrique delights in showing how Isabel’s morals are outdated. Isabel abhors philandering but is entranced by the caring man hidden below a devil-may-care attitude. The sister of Henrique’s best friend should be high on a pedestal, safe from his lust. But by demolishing his ideas, she crumbles the height separating them. A Bourbon with ulterior motives… Alfonso is a king sans a throne. When the Bourbon’s meteoric interest in Isabel threatens Portugal’s independence, Henrique has to take drastic measures to save his country and Isabel’s love.
Stories are the very fabric of life. I want to transport readers to exotic settings, where they can find romance and happy endings and hopefully bring some back to their daily lives. Portugal brims with beauty and passion, and I research every tiny detail of my novels, hoping to make the reader treasure my grandparents’ country as I do. I have a loving husband who still is my hero and two amazing kids. When it’s cold and rainy, I run inside to read and watch movies under blankets, sipping wine. You can find me on the beach during summer, surfing with my family.

The Calamities of Camden Callahan is the first book in the Revenant series by Brittany Tucker. This was a really fun, action-packed, YA adventure that had me hooked from the moment I saw the cover. I have enjoyed all of Ms. Tuckers books, but this is definitely my favourite (so far). I love Ms. Tucker’s dynamic and immersive world-building skills, she easily transported me into the story as I followed along. I could see this making a great television series, too. I definitely have a taste for her work now and I can’t wait to read more books set in the Revenant world… or anything else she produces. If you love original YA adventures, then this is definitely the book for you. Happy Reading…

This was a quick read and i enjoyed it. It was a aweet clean romance that i spend my afternoon listening to. The narrators are great! They worked well together and i enjoyed the alternating povs. Chase and Kate were high school sweethearts and things between them didn’t end on the best of terms. Years after they parted ways they’re pushed together as each others plus ones at a friends wedding. Even though its been years, there is still tension and hurt feelings between them but when they start to look closer, that also realise there is still love there too. I enjoyed this book even though it was a clean(er) romance than i normally read. I thought the author did a great job with this story and the narrators did an great job bringing this story to life. I will be listening to more by this author in the future! Happy Listening!

Life. Death. Revenge. This is the first book I have read by Brittany Tucker and lord how mercy at the talent she has. I haven’t read many pirate books, but they have a lot to live up to when I come across one again. Told from the dual perspectives of Camden and Annie, this book takes you on a journey of rescuing, surviving, and thriving. Camden was just nine years old when his mother was assassinated in front of him. When a random man saves Cam from the same fate his mother begs the man to take her son, raise him and keep him far from his father. Annie is from the North but after being sold by slavers to a Lord of the South she is raised as their daughter and “safe” if she doesn’t ask too many questions. Lockdown of a Port leaves Cam desperate to escape the “prison” he is trapped in leading to him making a risky move by accepting a red card job from a Stripe or Revenant. His reasoning is that he wants to buy his own ship, have Nathan, current ships navigator, as his quartermaster and allow Captain Resh to retire comfortably. Captain Resh was the man who saved him when he was younger. Annie isn’t like the others in New Havana, since the moment she arrived she has seen the ghosts of the island, they follow her and sometimes visit her in the night for help. Camden dies defending his job of transporting six barrels, only after he is spit back out and reborn as a Revenant himself does he learn the truth of the “job” he was on. It was a trap, a mission to prove the guilt of an once friend of the men who gave him the job. Now he has only one mission, to save his friends, and get revenge for his death on the man that caused it. Will Camden succeed in his mission to save those he cares for? What does his newfound powers truly mean by living his true life? How will the truth of his identity affect himself and those around him? This world was beyond captivating. I often found myself lost in the visual and having to reread a sentence or two to remember what was happening. The characters are complex and never skin deep though they seem that way at times. Kept on the edge of my seat and sometimes holding my breath this was an amazing read to start the week kept me engaged and guessing what would happen next. I hope the author makes more books in the Revenant world.

This story really just opened the door to my heart walked right in and made its self at home. From the very beginning I knew I was in for a story that would have me in all my feelings. This story touched a bit close to home for me in a way and with that connection I truly appreciate the story this author gave us. The characters draw you into their world effortlessly and I was sad when it was time to say goodbye. Each character was easy to find a connection with in one way or another. This author truly wrote a story with so much heart investment I believe and I easily give it five stars. Highly recommend this story and this author.

This is a very sweet short story. Great character, very engaging to the end. Very touching and relatable, I listen on a plane ride as I traveled, and it was great. I recommend this to someone who has a flight or a long drive, easy to listen to and follow along. I really enjoyed this author and will read or listen to more of her work.

Much like the first book in this series, this book is engaging with well-written characters and a magical story that will keep you glued to the page. We revisit Jon and Frank Reed as they attend West Hills School for the Perceptually Gifted for their second year. These 11-year-old twin boys who have special gifted talents aka powers are eager to participate in the “Zodiac Games” in hopes of winning for their house, bringing prestige unto them all. This would be an easier feat if they both weren’t faced with mysterious challenges and fear. Will they overcome everything and find glory or will the shadows and other magical dilemmas overtake them?
This book with its Harry Potterish feel is aimed at middle-school aged children (9 – 12 years old)- but I enjoyed it and think both younger and older individuals could as well. If you want an entertaining read that is right up there with other great books like the Percy Jackson series and the Harry Potter series, then definitely give this series a read, as I’m sure you will enjoy this incredible big family and their ever-growing adventures.

The Calamities of Camden Callahan is A Revenant Novel. The story focuses on 19-year-old Cam, a pirate. Cam has had a disastrous run of luck, with his crew killed and his captain missing. He has to figure out what his next steps will be in his life. Cam is a great character who has lived through a lot in his youth. The story has a lot of different layers with interesting characters. Cam develops a lot in the book and leaves me hoping for more books about everyone. The twists and turns kept me reading late into the night. I enjoyed this book and have recommended it to my niece for a new read. I think she will enjoy Cam and his adventures during this book. I look forward to reading more by this author.

A Death on Fools Lane is the fourth book in the Eve Sawyer Mystery series. It’s loosely a festive murder mystery, set between Christmas and New Years, but can be enjoyed any time of year! It can be read as a standalone but is a nice continuation of the series, with the return of some familiar characters.
Eve and her friends have taken on what seems to be a simple bit of housesitting during the holidays. It’s a chance to get away and have some time together. But, of course, there’s a body in the yard, so now there’s a murder (or suicide?) to investigate.
Eve makes a good investigator. Her strength is her ability to communicate with people, making them comfortable enough to share with her. This means she gets into the personal stories behind the victim and those connected to him, picking up on clues to what’s been going on.
It’s an entertaining mystery! Even near the end I wasn’t sure what had actually happened, until we got the final clue. This story will keep you turning the pages!
A Death on Fools Lane gets four stars from me. I’d recommend it to mystery fans, particularly if you’re looking for a good Betwixtmas read!

This was a wonderful read. This story had everything I could want in a good romance book. There is drama, chemistry, love, a little danger, and some great characters. The author pulled me into this story and kept me hooked throughout. I became completely invested in the characters and the outcome of their relationship. There are some emotional and intense moments in this book. This story was well written and the characters were well developed. This was a quick read for me because I couldn’t put it down needing to know how it ended. I look forward to reading more books by this author. I highly recommend this book.

This was a well-written fantasy which I couldn’t put down. I enjoyed the adventures the characters were led down, there was danger, secrecy and suspense which kept me engaged and guessing throughout.
The characters were well-crafted, I particularly liked how their backgrounds influenced their actions and beliefs in a believable way, especially as they attempt to protect their loved ones. Both Camden and Annie are strong, capable individuals, determined to get the answers and outcomes they’re working towards.
This was a fun read which kept me turning the pages and wanting more and I will be looking for more from this author!

Cruel Hate by Isla Vaugn is available now in eBook and Physical Book ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review
Cruel Hate is the fifth installment of the Hidden Valley Elite series. Isla Vaughn writes romance novels full of complex characters, strong alpha males, and fierce women. The story of Aspen and Phoenix is exactly that. Aspen is level headed, deals with no nonsense and knows exactly what she needs to do in life to deal with an unexpected pregnancy. Phoenix is a jock, falling behind in school, dealing with family drama, and trying to figure out how he can financially support a newborn. Will the two of them be able to work out their differences for the sake of a baby?
This was a very short, 189 page, quick read full of drama, steam, and what the heck kind of moments. I have a love/hate relationship with these characters. Depending on the moment, I am rooting for one over the other. The end leaves you with a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to get my hands on Cruel love. The name alone gives me hope that my love/hate relationship will take a turn. I highly recommend reading this ENTIRE series. Isla Vaughn is a wonderful author who knows how to draw her reader in leaving you craving more at the end EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!

Cruel Start by Isla Vaughn is available now in eBook ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review
Cruel Start introduces us to the story of Phoenix and Aspen. This prequel is a super quick read full of hot, intense, chemistry between these two characters. I have never read a book by Vaughn that I did not like, and this one just made my skin crawl. I am super excited to read Aspen and Phoenix’s duet. If you are passionate about enemies to lovers, college romance novels you will NOT want to miss this one.
Wild for me by Tam Derudder Jackson is about Dakota Perri and Annabelle Stewart. This story follows the timeline of the Balefire series and their band members. It can also be read as a stand alone.
If you thought sing for me was good, then you’re gunna love this installment to the balefire series. Dakota Perri really turns up the heat in this installment with a beautiful women who rocked his world one night after a certain red rocks concert. Reconnecting 2 years later he runs into her again and constantly looks back at that memorable night often making it hard to let her slip his grasp this time. Dakota does everything he can to make sure she doesn’t get away. With this crazy story and plot twist that follows will he get the girl of his dreams?
This book was definitely the life of a rockstar who falls for “the one”. It’s cute and keeps you smiling the whole read. I loved the sass that Annabelle delivered to Dakota and how Dakota didn’t miss a beat. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good romance with a “tinge” of attitude.

The Calamities of Camden Callahan By Brittany Tucker
The Calamities of Camden Callahan by Brittany Tucker is a thrilling adventure about a boy who has a tragedy happen to him as a child, but grows up a pirate by a man who saved him from the same fate.
Camden has been on many adventures and missions growing up after losing his mother at a young age and saved by a pirate captain.

If you get the chance to pick this book up, it’s definitely a wild journey. There is so much that happens in this book and I couldn’t put it down. Every page was sparked with details and events. Brittany did a marvelous job putting together this pirate fantasy, even in 3rd person you could feel the characters emotions and you felt like you were apart of the action.
I read the first book of this series and loved every page! So i was eager to start this one and I was not disappointed. I love a good crime thriller that keeps me on my toes! The twists and turns kept me turning the pages and every time I stopped reading to go do something else, I went right back to read more because I needed to know what happens next. You can read these as a standalone but I highly encourage you to read the first book! You won’t regret it. Great story line with amazing characters! I can’t wait for the next book!!

I’ve read every book this author has put out so far and this by far is the best one. Although I’ve read enjoyed all of them, this one had an extra emotional element tied to it that drew me in. It does touch upon death and a few other sensitive topics. it has action, drama, romance, and sci-fi. The character development of Camden is superb. The plot twists are fantastic. To the author, I’m so glad you didn’t listen when they told you this book wasn’t good. It may be the best book I’ve read this year so far. I cannot wait to see what you come up with next!

This book piqued my interested from the moment I read the description. It sounded intriguing and I just had to know what it was all about. I was pulled so easily into the story the author created. It was wll written and paced just perfectly to move the story on. I really enjoyed the main character, Cam. His past plays such a big factor in the book and it was really interesting to watch his character confront this as he developed. You could see his growth as the book goes on and I found myself liking him more and more. Overall, this book was a really good book and I would highly recommend it.

I absolutely loved this book. What an adventure it was to follow Camden and Annie. It’s a pirate’s life for him. His journey is hard and I was engaged from the moment his mom was murdered and put him into the life. I love the storytelling. The characters were quite entertaining and had me giggling in some parts. I will be reading this to my grandson when he gets a little older.

This wonderful cozy mystery is perfect for the Christmas holidays. While there is a murderer on the loose, it still checks all the boxes for warm and cozy reading. The main character, Eve Sawyer, is invited to house sit. As a journalist, her curiosity pulls her into a murder investigation that happens to be just a little to close for comfort. The story reminds me of those mysteries we all enjoyed reading growing up. A page turner that will keep you guessing!

I really enjoyed this story.i love fantasy adventures and I was gripped from the beginning and it didn’t let me go. The author does an amazing job with our main characters of Camden and Annie. Both of them have troubled pasts and things they are running from but both of them are survivors and they will stop at nothing to protect and save the people they care about. Camden has had it tough after losing his mum and hiding from his father. When a captain takes him in he changes his name all in an attempt to hide from his father. Why is his father so dangerous that his mother died trying to get him away? When Camden’s captain is kidnapped he knows he has to save him before its too late. What if the captian reveals Camdens true identity? Would his life be at risk? How do you deal with things when the one person who should have protected and defended you is the person who betrays you? This is an action packed story filled with drama, danger, secrets and lies, Suspense that keeps you turning the pages. Camden is a strong character who fights against adversity despite the costs to himself. Annie is the same, strong, independent and does stop asking questions but will she like the answers she finds? This was a great read and I can’t wait till the author produces more work and more adventures for me to lose myself in. This is a story about being strong enough to face your past head on and work through the problems instead of continuing to hide and run away from them and also learning to fight for the people you care about no matter the cost to yourself
