Corpse Pixie by Sinister Styx
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Quick but good read. It has some mature parts that wouldn’t be appropriate for younger readers. It progressed fast and jumped time a few times bit is detailed for such a short story. I do have questions but hopefully they will be answered in the next books.
Midnight Falls by John (ronin) Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Josh Blevins has left college to return home with his dog Nimrod. He works as a freelance writer and moves into his new home. Josh soon discovers that there is something very wrong in Midnight Falls. Now Josh has to decide whether to run away or fight. Midnight Falls was a very chilling and engaging story. I enjoyed the author’s style of writing. His descriptive language helps engulf you in the atmosphere. Mr. Evans does a great job of creating a dark background reminiscent of a horror movie. There was a nice variety of characters and I enjoyed Josh’s relationship with all of them. This is a great book for those who enjoy old-school horror.
Mr Lucky by Lee Wood
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I enjoyed the book; to be honest at first, I felt there were too many characters, and up until a quarter way through the book each character kind of felt like a diary entry. I am glad to say that the writing changed and no longer felt like quick moments from the day.
I really liked James, I couldn’t believe how soon his wife and children were taken from him and it upset me that he honestly didn’t even do anything yet. Which leads you to Dave, the character you love to hate. Really, I was just hoping for someone to take him out, I wanted him to leave James alone.
I recommend the book to all crime reader lovers.
Made to Love Her: Romantic Suspense Novella by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a interesting read from the Moore family Saga series. This book can be read as a standalone, however I feel you will have a better grasp on the characters if the books are read in order. This is a quick read but it is filled with plenty of action, suspense, danger, and of course romance. For me personally I felt it was a little short and too much was crammed in which meant I found the book a little confusing as it jumped from one situation to the next without much context.
That been said it was still an enjoyable read. I just wish it was longer. The relationship between Cade and Lecia Moore is beautiful and their love for each other really stands out.
When they find themselves placed in a dangerous situation they don’t know who they can trust. Who is trying to harm them and why? And will they succeed in destroying this perfect couple?
Luca Magoo, Don’t Eat The Glue: A back-to-school tale that encourages positive classroom behavior and creative expression. by Megan Delgado
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 Stars
Luca Magoo, Don’t Eat the Glue by Megan Delgado is a fun children’s story, with some valuable life lessons on offer. The illustrations really brought the whole story to life, spurring the imagination with their cute, colourful, and engaging scenes.
Luca Magoo loves being creative, so when art class rolls around he is excited for a chance to let loose his artistic flair – but what happens when he is tempted to taste the sticky glue? This fun story takes us through all the ‘possible’ consequences’ and what Luca imagines might happen. This teaches children about curiosity, temptation, creativity, self-control, classroom etiquette, following rules for safety, and making sensible choices.
This was a great little read, my grandson loved reading this with me and caught on very quickly that Luca was not meant to eat the glue lol.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Delgado does next,
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Megan Delgado!

Dark is the Wood by Kristin Ward is the first book in The new series Enchanted Tales with Dragon Scales. This young adult fantasy romance follows Gillian as she enters the forbidden Shadowlands in an attempt to save her brothers life. Gillian soon meets Roman who is the son of the Great Dragon and her quest becomes more than she could imagine. Caught between dangers and learning more about herself, Gillian tries to be strong in the face of great odds. This book combines lore from various fantasy sources while adding some of its own.

Falling for a Star in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Falling for a Star in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager is the second book in the Stars in the City Series. This one follows struggling actress Paige who had had a miserable week – breakup with her boyfriend, acting job on hold, and an internship in a career she isn’t happy in. Down in the dumps, Paige runs into Viktor a hot hockey player with an intense gaze. As she navigates this challenging week and emotions start to form, Paige worries that the differences between her and Viktor are insurmountable. This book is a lovely romance that highlights the 360s life throws at us. The series could probably be read as stand‐alones but characters make reappearances so I’d suggest reading in order. Enjoy!

G is for Gossamer: A Children’s SMART & SOPHISTICATED ABC’s Book by Miss Whitaker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
G is for Gossamer by Miss Whitaker labels itself as a sophisticated and smart alphabet book. The words used are indeed larger than your average ABC book. They are also accompanied by detailed and beautiful images. The end has a glossary so parents can explain the words to those curious Littles. Read this with your kids but, maybe, not before bed – unless you want to stay up late with questions like I accidentally did!

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love: A Pride And Prejudice Variation Novelette by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
3.5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest for Love is a interesting take from Pride and Prejudice that is a novelette, short version. This historical romance brings to life for Georgiana Darcy to find the love she is seeking. With some help…trying to find one’s true love can be challenging.
This was a good read and I enjoyed a variation if Georgiana can find happiness after the fall-out with Mr. Wickham. Some parts were a bit slow, but otherwise I do appreciate this unique story. I loved having the characters included in this story that I love about Pride and Prejudice.
Corpse Pixie by Sinister Styx
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I honestly did not know if I was going to like this book at first, but then it grabbed me and didn’t let go. I’m desperately hoping the author writes more books with these characters!
I love that Belladonna is a hybrid pixie/necromancer. It’s something I’ve never read about before, and the premise is an interesting one! She is written like a true pixie-sneaky, cruel, beautiful, dangerous, and remorseless. I adore her!
Rene is desperately seeking the person who murdered his twin sister and trying to cope with the loss in the only way he knows how-the bottom of a bottle. He starts seeing purple eyes and having euphoric experiences in a half-dreamlike state and believes he is losing his mind. It’s Belladonna doing her pixie shenanigans. At first, you really dislike her for using and abusing him the way she does (at least I did), but somehow you end up liking them as a team/couple by the end of the book. The twist at the end (the murderer) fit perfectly. There is enough foreshadowing that I guessed it, but I didn’t guess it so early that I was upset. The timing was perfect.
This is a quick, easy read and it is more plot than spice. Definitely check the triggers-it’s marketed as a dark paranormal book for a reason, and mental health is important.
I want to know more. I want to read about the team saving more paranormal creatures. I want to know if two of the characters actually went on the date she promised and how it went. I want to know how Rene handles being tied to Belladonna in the long run. I want to know about Belladonna’s past. There are so many ways the author could run with this book and these characters and I’m here begging for it!

This book was great. The characters, the overall plot, all great. The only downside of this book was that I felt like it could have had more detail and brought more side stories to life. I am the type of person who enjoys a good quest, but the side quests really make or break the story.
I think the author has some great characters and a storyline that is entertaining for fantasy readers. This was a quick and easy read. It was very difficult to put down once I started reading it. I would definitely recommend to all fantasy/mystery lovers.

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love: A Pride And Prejudice Variation Novelette by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
3.5 stars
This very quick-read novelette features one of the Pride and Prejudice characters that Ms. Jane Austen wrote about. Georgiana is looking for love and a house party ensues to find her a suitable partner.
This book is so short that it’s hard to say much more about it without giving away any parts. I did find it a bit difficult to get into but once I did finally “get in the groove”, it was almost over. It’s an enjoyable read but not a favorite of mine.
Productivity is Power: Five Liberating Practices for College Students by Hillary Rettig
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
As you have probably gathered by the title this book is specifically aimed at college students, but it would serve anyone well. It is a helpful model with teaching tools, tips, strategies and the like to becoming re-empowered, to finding your lost enthusiasm and being productive once again.
There are many solutions within the book such as:
Re-Empowerment
Compassionate Objectivity
Timed Work Intervals
Randomization
“Dialoguing with the Critic”
The Joyful Dance
Values-Based Time Management
What works for one may not work for another, but I am sure there is something in this book to help you achieve goals that may have slipped or seemed unattainable. All you have to do is want it.
Productivity is Power: Five Liberating Practices for College Students is just what you need to get out of a funk or pull yourself from that rut. It has some good principles and methodologies that won’t cramp your style and are easy to put into practice.

Having been compromised by the wicked Mr Wickham, Miss Georgiana Darcy has been living with her brother and his family at Pemberley. Although content she would like her own happy marriage like her brother and Lizzy have. Whilst Lizzy enjoys playing matchmaker, Mr Darcy keeps a watchful eye on any potential suitors. Georgiana must discover if any of them can be trusted. This is a very short read but full of wonderful characters and an intriguing storyline based on a Jane Austen classic. I liked the optional epilogue which contained some marital bedroom scenes. The Regency era was brought to life as was Pemberley through the descriptive narrative. Although part of a series it is a standalone story.

This is a good story the follows a couple from teens to adult. I like the idea of this and it reads very easily. It does move along at a slow pace letting the reader see where these two are now in their lives and thoughts of a future. Life revolves around the rodeo for these two. I loved that! The secondary characters are great! Some are annoying and others are ones we have seen from other books in this series. I wish more could have come from her bff to see where the jealousy came from. I also thought maybe his friend he met in sheriff school would have come into play as well.
Master Bistrita by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the 11th book in the Masters of the Consulate series. This is another dark paranormal romance which has elements of danger, twist and turns, betrayal, in this one with have a Dom/submissive relationship. Each one of these books is the story about a different Master finding his fated mate however I would recommend reading them in order as there is a story that runs underneath which is a battle between the pure bloods and the rogues both fighting for ultimate control over the underworld.
In this story we are with Master Bistrita and Chara.
The rogues have moved into Master Bistrita’s territory so all the Masters have to work with him to try and defeat the rouges once and for all.
What he didn’t expect was meeting his fated mate in the form of Chara.
However it wasn’t love at first site. When Chara barges into their meeting to warn her friend about a danger her reaction to Bistrita wasn’t very warm.
However she soon starts to realise that there is something between them that neither can deny.
But when Bistrita start putting his rules and orders in place will she willing obey or will her feisty attitude and disobedience lead them back into more danger.

Really enjoyed it and would recommend.
