I hadn’t read anything from Gwyn McNamee before, but I am *extremely* glad I picked this up. I was entranced from the first chapter and couldn’t get enough of this story! I couldn’t believe such a short read could have me so involved with the characters. The author did an outstanding job with this, and I have already picked up another collection of hers as soon as I finished this one. Night Hawke definitely has plenty of heat in it, pick it up and give this incredible author a read!

Return to Gallanvaig: Beyond A Quirk of DestinyReturn to Gallanvaig: Beyond A Quirk of Destiny by Catherine Greenall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Firstly, let me say that the first book, A Quirk of Destiny, blew me out of the water. I loved everything about it and had been looking forward to the second for some time. I was worried that with such a strong start that the series just couldn’t get any better. All of my qualms were obliterated the moment I started reading Return to Gallanvaig! This book is just as good if not even BETTER than the first. It continues to be so representational of where we are as a society and still blending in that post-apocalyptic terror that feels like it could be in our not-so-distant future. I cannot emphasize how amazing this series is so far, and I am clamoring for the third book already! Pick up the first two books and get lost in this dystopian masterpiece!

Gunner (Hollins & Haring #3)Gunner by T.J. Beach
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gunner is the third book in the Hollins & Haring series, but I read it as a standalone. I don’t think you’ll get lost in it without the others, but after reading this one I’m definitely picking up the rest of the series.

Gary and Debbie work together and seem to get along well enough. She has a feeling that Gary has a lot that he isn’t facing in his life, but he is a master at avoidance. But all is not well when the inevitable happens. Debbie’s mother is the first person in their town to test positive for COVID, and now Gary is there with her family in quarantine. Debbie is anxious and isn’t sure what to do since her husband, who is her strength, is far away working. Gary decides he’s going to distract her with what she wants to know…his sad story. Speaking this out loud may help Debbie, but it’s making Gary face his demons that he’d rather run from.

This was an incredibly emotional read, and I couldn’t put it down once I started. I highly recommend picking this up, and I’m headed to pick up the rest of the series now because this author has a way of grabbing your attention and keeping it!

The Daredevil is the second book in the Waterfyre Rising series, and it is incredible! I was captivated and breezed through the entire thing before I knew it! You can read this as a standalone if you so choose, but you don’t want to miss out on the magical writing of Nadia Han. I was at the edge of my seat and loved every minute of it.

Royce is our daredevil who loves adrenaline spikes and seeks the thrills that others shy away from. But underneath everything is a man who just wants to be loved and accepted. Michelle is traveling for a new job, but she has walls around her heart and emotions, unwilling to take risks again. Will they be enough to save each other from what they’ve accepted as life, or will they create another excuse to hide away?

You can feel the chemistry leaping off the pages and it comes so naturally, which was incredibly refreshing. This author will be a constant recommendation to anyone in my life for sure, I highly recommend it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had a hard time believing that this book would be better than the first since it was so amazing, but Painter of the Damned was absolutely stunning! I was engrossed in this book from the very first page to the very end.

Nick and Julia leave Venice with hopes of returning to a somewhat normal life after their terrifying ordeal called their honeymoon. With peace of mind setting in as they start heading home, they are apprehended before they can truly start their journey. They find out the person behind their capture is Salvatore, their worst nightmare. Salvatore intends to use Nick to obtain an all-knowing powerful book. Julia tries to help keep her husband sane in midst of this horrendous experience, but is her love enough to keep him tied to this world?

I can’t recommend this series enough! The author has woven an intricate blend of history and other worldly things that command your attention to the last word. You won’t be disappointed picking this up!

Weep, Woman, Weep was the second book I have read by this author, and I am not disappointed in any way. Maria DeBlassie knows how to grab you in the beginning and take you on a whirlwind adventure throughout her short stories, and I love it!

La Llorona is a spirit that is said to pull women to their deaths in the river, and no one knows how to stop her. The only line of defense they have is to ignore their sorrows and stay away from the river at night. Mercy and her best friend Sherry decide they will break their generational trauma once and for all, but after Sherry becomes inconsolable, the Weeping Woman comes for them. Mercy somehow makes it out alive, alone, but La Llorona is deeply unsettled and wants Mercy’s soul for no one should escape her deadly grasp. Will Mercy be able to break the trauma that holds over their community, or will the river woman finally get what she wants?

I love that Mercy finds her way through plant medicine, as I love anything with witchy vibes and this sure had a ton! I can’t wait to see what the author has in store next. Weep, Woman, Weep is a shorter read but it will still take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I highly recommend picking this one up!
