Alterations (Alterations #1)Alterations by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alterations was a very interesting read, while Sci/fi isn’t usually my thing I really enjoyed this short read. While alterations was a short read Jane Suen was able to pack a lot of information into her pages and developed her characters well. Her characters are so well developed and the story so intriguing that you’ll find yourself quickly devouring this book in one sitting. Ms. Suen gives us so much mystery,and drama that she will keep you guessing until the very end. So if your looking for a Sci/fi filled with great characters, mystery, drama and more then you should read Ms. Suen’s Alterations.

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) is the first installment to this Sci/Fi/ fantasy story.

This story has everything that a reader could ask for including action, hidden agendas, politics, adventure, and danger. There’s so much in this story that you find yourself flipping the pages eagerly to find out what happens next. Since this is the first installment to this series there are a lot of suspenseful moments, some of which get tied up in pretty bows and others that are left unsolved, leaving his readers to anticipate book two. But if your looking for an exciting Sci/Fi/fantasy book to read this weekend then I highly recommend Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman.

The Girl and the Raven is a paranormal romance with so many twists and turns that it will leave your head spinning until the very last page.

There were some predictable parts but still a lot of shock and awe so I do your looking for a good read then I highly recommend The Girl and the Raven.

Revenge (Least Likely Suspect Book 1) by Cooper McKenzie is one of the beat crime books that I have ever read. This book had me intrigued the minute I read the synopsis and let me tell you it did not disappoint. Every mother will do whatever they have to for their child, even if it means seeking justice or maybe revenge right? Cooper McKenzie captured the raw feeling that a mother has when she loses her child, it’s a very relatable story, with a plot line that will make you angry, sad, and keep you guessing until the very end. Her characters are amazing, the story was perfectly developed, and left this reader wanting more. Personally I can’t wait to read the next installment.

Taking FlightTaking Flight by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Taking Flight is the second installment to Brooke May’s Code of Honor series, and I loved it even more then the first one. This romance has everything that you could ask for from a handsome pilot, to a girl with mistaken identity, family drama, action, and the mystery of if love is enough to conquer all. Once again Ms. May had me hooked from the very first page and I finished it in one sitting. She goes into such descriptive details about her characters that you often forget that they are fictional characters. While you can read Taking Flight as a Stand alone I highly recommend reading this series in order just to get all of the juicy details.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Avenging Devil part 1 is the third installment to the San Diego and as the title reveals there is a part 2. Part 1 was so good that I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and went a little crazy anticipating part 2 due to the way that Ms. Mellett leaves part 1. As much as I love her other novels this story is so descriptive, her characters so amazing that I find myself craving more. She weaves layers upon layers of tension, drama, complexity, and romance, making sure to put her readers and characters through a dramatic roller coaster ride. Ms. Mellett gives us so much that she will have you flipping the pages until the very end.

Grumbler's Ride (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #2)Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grumbler’s Ride is the second chapter in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series, personally I enjoyed this second chapter even more then I enjoyed the first. I love that Ms. Mellett is writing more mature characters. The fact that she writes more mature characters gives the story a different take then if her characters where in their mid thirties. While this series has some scenes that could trigger some people it is still well worth the read. Ms. Mellett is slowly becoming one of my favorite authors she always seems to tackle sensitive subjects and handles them with immense care. The care she provides in her writing makes her books flow well and her series come together beautifully.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few of Manda Mellett’s series but I have to say that the San Diego chapters are some of the best by far. Being Lost was such a good start, I couldn’t put it down. It was such any easy read for me kind of like pulling out my favorite jean jacket in the fall, or watching a rain storm in the fall, it was calming and relaxing with just the right amount of edge. As usual Ms. Mellett’s characters are wonderful, her scenery descriptive, and her story line intriguing. So if your looking for a great series to read I highly recommend Ms. Mellett’s San Diego chapters.

Grave Digger Academy was my first read by C.A. King, and I for one was not disappointed in this paranormal story. At less then 200 pages, I finished this amazing story in a matter of hours and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. C.A. King gives us a great protagonist, eccentric but well loved teachers, and a story line that provides tons of dark and magical things. C.A. King also provides us with wonderfully developed characters, great word building, and a plot that leaves the readers wanting more. So if your looking for a great new YA series then I highly recommend Grave Digger Academy.

Tangled Roots by Denise D. Young is a great first installment to what I believe is going to be a magical roller coaster witchy series.

This book was so wonderfully written that it kept me flipping the pages faster then I could blink to see what happens next. So if your looking for a great new paranormal series I highly recommend Tangled Roots.

Competing with the StarCompeting with the Star by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Competing with the Star by Ms. Krysten Lindsay Hager is one of the better stories that I have read this summer. The thing that I love most about Ms. Hager’s stories are how realistic everything is. Everything that is included in her stories is something that could easily happen in real life, and it helps keep her readers glued to the pages. Her main characters in Competing with the Star are beautifully written, both characters have a kindness that will make you feel warm and fuzzy, and their personalities are so caring they will make your heart melt. Competing with the Star is full of friendship, first loves, and the ups and downs of life in general, making it a very easy story to get lost in. So if your looking for a great summer read then I highly recommend Competing with the Star.

Mr. Nice Guy (Pierce Brothers, #1)Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams is a short easy comfort read with great characters, a refreshing twist on fake dating turns to real dating, and fantastic word building. This romance story kept this reader on the edge of her seat with drama, angst, romance, and more. I found myself flipping through the pages faster then a bolt of lightning to find out what happens next and I was not disappointed. The way that Ms. Williams developed her main family character was relatable, it was refreshing to have a female lead that wasn’t a skinny super model but has a normal body style that makes her more relatable to some women like myself. While I loved the book over all the one thing I would have liked to see was a little more character development, but over all I can’t wait to see where Ms. Williams takes this series.

Forged by Secrets is the third installment to Amy McKinleys Deadly Isles Special Ops series and all this reader can say is that it’s just as amazing as the first two. Having read the first books in this series I was thrilled when book three came out and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Once again Ms. McKinley provides us with great characters, a gripping plot, and overall a story that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Personally I love second chance love stories and that’s exactly what Ms. McKinley gives her readers here a second chance love story filled with drama, suspense, and so much more that this reader can’t wait to see what happens next.

Moonlit Kiss (A Venice Romance)Moonlit Kiss by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moonlit Kiss is possibly one of the greatest stories I have ever read. While it is shorter then Ms. McKinley’s other books she still provided us with fantastic characters, suspense, danger, romance, and she gave us a story that takes place in the beautiful scenery of Venice. Per usual Ms. McKinley captures her readers in the fist chapter and her word flow draws us in deeper and deeper, but this time she draws us in so deep that you’ll feel like your on the cobblestone streets or the watery canals of Venice yourself. Ms. McKinley’s writing style flows so easily that I finished this novella in one sitting. So if your looking for a new series to read I highly recommend Ms. McKinley’s Moonlit Destination series, but if your looking for just a beautiful short story to read this summer then I highly recommend Moonlit Kiss.

If you love Amy McKinley as much as I do then I highly recommend not only her Moonlit Destination series but I highly recommend her novel Moonlit Whisper. This wonderful contemporary romance novel has everything that a romance reader like myself needs, including fantastic characters, drama, romance, and more. While Moonlit Whisper is one of Ms. McKinley’s shorter novels I promise you won’t want to put it down. Like most of her work the writing is smooth, the storyline flows beautifully, and while it’s a quick story the way that Ms. McKinley captures the readers attention and draws them into the story is unlike any other.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moonlit Mirage is the first in Amy McKinley’s Moonlit Destination series, and I for one did not hesitate to dive headfirst into this series. Unlike some of her other books this one is a novella so it doesn’t go into as much depth as her others but per usual Ms. McKinley takes her readers on a wild romantic ride with this book. Much to my excitement although a shorter story Ms. McKinley still captured me from the very beginning and provided us with all of our favorite ingredients for a romance story including suspense, excitement, danger, and most of all romance. If this novella is an indicator in how the series is going to go then I for one can’t wait to see where Amy McKinley takes us next.

Carnival of Shadows (Black Water Magic #2)Carnival of Shadows by Leslie Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Carnival of Shadows is the second installment to Ms. Scott’s Blackwater Magic series, after being so captured by her first installment Blackwater Magic I personally could not eat to read Carnival of Shadows and Ms. Scott did not disappoint. In fact she wrote such a great novel that this reader for one can’t wait for book three. Leslie Scott gives us everything we hope for in this new series including wonderful well-developed characters that are personable and relatable, a great story full of witches, a mysterious carnival, and a very compelling heroine. While some authors take a few books to reveal all of their wonderful characters and their personalities Ms. Scott has given us so much in two books, that I can’t wait to see why she throws at us next. While you could read Carnival of Shadows by itself I personally recommend reading the whole series, trust me you won’t be disappointed.

Secure Decision is a great installment to the Chase Security series by R.L. Dunn. This romantic suspense is filled with wild emotions, drama, danger, intrigue, drama, friendship, romance and more. There was so much going on in this book that I found myself furiously flipping the pages to find out what happened next. Personally I recommend you read the previous installments as they do lay a great foundation to the story and provide great character and story details. But you can read each of them as a single novel if you so wish. I was really excited when I saw this fifth installment and Ms. Dunn does not disappoint. Just like her previous installments Ms. Dunn gives us incredible story lines, fantastic character development, and overall a story that leaves us wanting more.

Mountains Wanted by Phoebe Alexander is the first installment to Ms. Alexander’s new series Mountains. Personally reading anything by Ms. Alexander is like catching up with a long-lost friend. Her dialogue is so easy to read and comprehend, her characters are fascinating and relatable, and her story line in Mountains Wanted leaves her readers wanting more. I was so excited for this book and it was so good that I devoured it in one sitting. This contemporary romance had everything I could want including passion, intrigue, and high-strung emotions. But it was also funny, sexy, and massively entertaining. After devouring this book in one sitting so need book two like now, I just have to know how the story continues.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Next Door to a Star was definitely an interesting read to say the least. Ms. Hager created a well developed young teen character so much so that I had to remember that the book was written by an adult. In the beginning of the book I found the character to be very hard to like but that just mean that I got to enjoy her development that much more. Young girls go through so many phases in their teenage years and Ms. Hager captured them all perfectly. The other characters were also written perfectly, basically made me feel like I was back in high school. There was a lot of emotion and parts in this book including young teens developing, sweet and innocent first kisses, the romance was the perfect level for kids that age, great friendship dynamics, and a great entertainment feel. If your looking for a great summer read I highly recommend Next Door to a Star.

I was originally drawn to it by the front cover alone, but I was hooked by page two. I spent so much time torn between devouring the story and savoring it because I didn’t want it to end, but C.R Robertson’s characters alone kept me glued to the pages. This paranormal romance has everything that a paranormal romance reader could possibly want. This action packed story is filled with wonderful characters, secret agendas, danger, mystery, fated mates and more. I definitely look forward to reading more by C.R Robertson.

In His Kiss was a fantastic friends to lovers romance. This is not your everyday romance though, writing friends to lovers is never an easy thing, but Ms. Alise made the transition flawless. Like most friends to lovers romances In His Kiss is full of angst, emotions, and definitely a few twists and turns. My only complaint about In His Kiss is it was too short. Ms. Alise hooked me from the very beginning and next thing I know I’ve read the whole book in one sitting. So if your looking for a great summer read then I definitely recommend In His Kiss by Ms. Ava Alise.

I was hooked on Ms. Dunn’s story within the first few pages and couldn’t stop reading until I had finished the book. Ms. Dunn gives us a suspense romance full of emotions, drama, intrigue, mystery and more. Her characters not only had brilliant descriptions, but she made sure that all of their emotions were in order for this story. Depending on your background this book can contain triggers for certain scenarios and emotions, but over all Ms. Dunn does a beautiful job of telling a foster kid story. This story was so wonderfully descriptive and detailed that I look forward to reading more from this author.

Nightfall is the first book that I have read by T.K. Lawyer and I must say it was very enjoyable. I was so lost in the story that time just flew by and I was done with it before I realized I had read it all in one sitting. One thing that I really loved about Nightfall is that the leading lady is plus size but still lands the sexy hunk of a male lead. T.K. Lawyer choosing a plus size leading lady shows us plus size girls that romance is put there for us too. Her character descriptions are detailed and realistic making her readers feel like they are real people and not just characters on a page. I loved this book and Ms. Lawyer’s characters so much that I hope she gives us a trilogy.

Her Blackened Rose is book three of The Blackened Series. As with the first two books we follow an original story of a dark fairy tale. This series is set apart from a normal fairy tale because it’s based on the Villain, and not a princess. For a series that started off slow this third installment was a great installment because it was full of fantasy, witchcraft, magic, drama, and more. Ms. Sravenheart gave us a lot to think about in this installment including hidden agendas, mystery, danger and secrets making her readers desperately want to know what happens next. I personally can’t wait for part four of this series.
