Flowers Of Evil
Hani’s Daughter Mysteries Book 1
By: N. L. Holmes
Review by: Susan Ratchford
5 Stars

I was so happy to hear that N.L. Holmes created another series in the Lord Hani Mysteries world! I absolutely loved her setting of ancient Egypt and I am truly obsessed with History and mythology! This book took it to the next level and I couldn’t put it down for one second! The relationship between Neferet and Bener-ib is just so pure and beautiful and written in such a realistic way! Every character has such an intense voice, I don’t know how N.L. Holmes does it! I couldn’t have asked for anything more and this book is the perfect one to use when you want to wind down and escape life for a bit! Flowers of Evil also has the perfect amount of suspense and such a well developed story I can’t wait for the next book in this series! Thank you so much N.L Holmes for expanding on this amazing and ancient society! I highly recommend both the Lord Hani and Hani’s Daughter mystery series to anyone like me, who is a sucker for wonderful mystery, history, and mythology all rolled into one! You don’t want to miss out on either of these entrancing series!

Absolutely adored this book! I can’t wait to read more of Ms. Alonso-Sierra’s work.Her writing style and the way she writes all her characters just drew me in! My fiancé is an artist so I really liked the inclusion art! I loved Gabriela and Richard’s story! It had me reading as fast as I could to find out what would happen next! I couldn’t put it down! I felt every moment of fear and panic like it was my own! I might have even checked behind my back a few times! I really wish there could be a third book in this heart pounding series! If you are a lover of thrillers and a fast paced plot you have to check out The Book of Hours and the first book in the Coin/Hours Duology! You will not be disappointed!

By: Barb Jones
Review by: Susan Ratchford
4 Stars

I am a big big lover of the supernatural so I was immediately drawn to Rise of The Hunter, Barb Jones fourth installment in this intriguing and action packed series! Against my better judgment I started this book of The Blood Prophecy Series before the first three. Without the prior knowledge of the others this book was admittedly a little hard to follow. Especially since it also counts as the first book in its own trilogy as well, which is so unique! I will definitely have to reread it! Even so, Rise of the Hunter has beyond interesting characters and is entertaining from the first page to the last! It truly did keep me on the edge of my seat! That being said I would highly recommend starting with her first book Queens Destiny! I know I can’t wait to start Queens Destiny and join Ms. Jones on this fantastic supernatural journey from beginning to end!

I had so much fun reading House of Arsceneaux by Caterina Novelliere! This is my absolute favorite genre and I cannot pass up a good Vampire romance, but what I got was so much more! Novelliere beautifully weaves in Creole and Celtic cultures in a realistic and well researched way. She also expertly connects all aspects of this book, from past to future and from vampire to fae! House of Arsceneaux is attention grabbing and addicting, Caitlin and Gage’s journey was so much fun to go on! I loved reliving their pasts! I’ve never read anything from this amazing author before but I can’t wait to read another one of her books! She absolutely nailed it in my opinion and reminded me why I want to be an author! Thank you so much Caterina Novelliere!

Review by: Susan Ratchford
5 Stars

Soul Redeemed is the fifth installment of Theresa Van Spankeren’s War Of Destiny series and I am beyond loving all of it! Each book keeps getting better and more intriguing and I can never put any of them down! I highly suggest starting this series with her first book Lost Souls to join Julia at the start of her journey! I really enjoyed watching Julia really get to know herself and her powers in this book. Spankeren writes her character in such a relatable way and with such emotion you can’t help but feel everything Julia goes through. Soul Redeemed has such great world building (as always with Spankeren) with enough action and intensity to have my heart racing. I can’t wait for the next book and possibly the final battle with Valentino! Prepare for wonderfully unexpected twists and turns in this uniquely dark vampire fantasy series! You will not be disappointed!

The Serpent and The Firefly is the first work by Courtney Davis that I have ever read and it will definitely not be the last! Her characters are so dynamic and fun to get to know. I really enjoyed Jade and her backstory of why she was put in witness protection. I loved how she and Baal played off each other. I could not put this book down for anything! Davis makes you need to know what happens next by giving all her characters different angles. A wonderful paranormal romance that has everything you could ever want from a bada$$ king of Hell, to demons, shifters, and fae with different realms that are just so unique! A must read for any lover of the supernatural!

It really helped make her world even more real to me. If you are a lover of fantasy romance this book is a must read! You will not be disappointed!

That being said I effortlessly fell into Caro’s story and Tataw’s world. It was so fun and entertaining to read, even if I didn’t get all the details! I loved the first person tone. It really brought the story to life! I instantly felt the infinite beauty of space and I loved her inclusion of gods! I can’t wait to start this wonderful journey from the beginning with Child Of Tempus, her first novel in this fascinating series! I highly recommend you join me in experiencing Caro and Milky’s story in all its glory! Happy reading!

The Crown Of Stones series has kept me on the edge of my seat for three books straight! This final installment did not disappoint at all! This book and series is written with such passion and grace! The world and the characters just jump off the page and you cannot help but feel for their lows and root for their highs! As a lover of Lord Of The Rings and The Witcher, this series was completely satisfying from the first page of the first book (The Crown Of Stones: Magic-Price) to the last page of the last book (The Crown Of Stones: Magic- Borne). I will truly miss reading about Ian Troy, Jarryd Kane, and Malaq and their adventures. I really hope Schneider will continue this series so this epic journey doesn’t have to end! I highly highly recommend The Crown of Stones series to anyone looking to take an epic journey of their own!

It truly is a must read for any epic fantasy lover! With twists and turns that will keep you flipping the pages and fast paced action that will have you on the edge of your seat! I know I will be going to grab my copy of her final book in this series The Crown Of Stones: Magic-Borne ASAP!

This book is everything you could ever want! An engrossing steampunk supernatural fantasy with high stakes, high suspense, and more than enough intrigue to keep you glued to Jacky and Angé’s story! The sisters play off each other beautifully with Jacqueline’s determination and need to discover versus Angelique’s recklessness and zest for life’s joys! In truth the heart of this story is in the amazing detail that Ef Deal includes, from the setting to the machinery a fascinating and warm picture emerges. I could not stop reading this book. It’s as if each page posed a new mystery. With its unique blend and use of old and new like the diving mask used on the Automaton. As well as the inclusion of the supernatural, like wolf shifters and a mechanical army powered by the dead, this is a book you do not want to miss!

The Romanov Heiress is a whimsical telling of what could have been! A heart wrenching tale of the sisters’ escape and beyond through the eyes of the oldest sister Olga. With intricately weaved secrets and almost mystery about their German Princess mother Alexandra. I was completely encapsulated by this work of historical fiction and could not stop reading! Jennifer Laam uses beautiful language that transports you to another time and vivid imagery that lets you feel everything, including the danger, uncertainty, and fear the sisters face. I relate a lot to Anastasia being the youngest in my family and I specifically enjoyed watching her growth, as well as Olga’s growth throughout the book. I am obsessed with Laam’s style and I will definitely be picking up more of her books! I highly recommend this book to all lovers of historical fiction or just wonderful reads!

He is also very relatable and the author’s mesmerizing writing makes him so easy to root for! This book and series in general also makes you wonder if we all might have a destiny! I really hope there is more to this series! To experience all of Theresa Van Spankeren’s entrancing paranormal fantasy series, War Of Destiny, I would highly recommend starting with book one Lost Soul! You will not be disappointed!

Catherine Greenall creates a shocking and thrilling conclusion to the Quirk of Destiny Series in this final installment, Destiny Of Light. I absolutely loved this apocalyptic tale and this book was the best one yet! Greenall creates an exciting and fast paced series that ups the Ante with each book and the fact that she was a government scientist makes her writing feel scarily accurate! She also writes in beautiful detail with dynamic characters that make her story feel all the more real! I love how this series really makes you think about what we are doing to our food and our planet and the repercussions it could have sooner rather than later! If you haven’t, I would suggest starting with book one A Quirk Of Destiny to be able to experience all of Calum’s story and the history of the Genies! I highly recommend this book to any dystopian apocalypse lover who wants a truly great and unique story that will have you questioning everything you think you know! Thank you for this series Catherine Greenall!

I cannot wait to get my hands on the fourth book in this addicting gaslamp fantasy series, Grey Lady! Byrd Nash had me on the edge of my seat! Spirit Guide was a quick paced and fun read! You can really feel Tristan and Elinor’s pent up attraction to one another and it feels genuine. I highly recommend this series to any mystery lover who enjoys when the ghosts are real! I also recommend starting with book One, Ghost Talker, to truly experience Madame Elinor Chalamet and Duke de Archambeau/Tristan Fontaine’s journey from the beginning!

Creatures Of The Night

5 Stars

I absolutely love books that mix paranormal and mythology so Creatures Of The Night by C. A. King really caught my eye. I was very intrigued to see it had vampires, werewolves, and ghosts as well as demons, gorgons, centaurs, and gods. What else could anyone want in a book! King also has a way of writing that is so beautiful and gripping, for example “ The sun had finished its shift for the day, leaving keys in the moon’s hand until it returned once more.” Her writing made this story have its own heartbeat. This isn’t the first book I’ve read by her and she never disappoints! Zoe is also a real easy character to feel for, having the abilities she does but being stuck on the sidelines. Creatures Of The Night was also so unpredictable as soon as I thought I knew what was going to happen the whole thing did a 180 degree turn and I was taken aback. A book hasn’t surprised me like that in a while. I recommend this book to any paranormal fantasy lover! You will be in for a real treat!

Straight For The Kill is fast paced and exciting with wonderfully thought out secondary characters and a well crafted plot! There is also a cold case involved giving this book a whole other layer! I have always loved my crime shows so I am a big fan of this unpredictable high stakes mystery! I truly felt like this book was over too soon. Highly recommended, from one mystery lover to another!

This is the most thought provoking series I’ve read in a long time! I almost don’t want to read book 6 The 45th Parallel because I don’t want this series to end! This series is a must read!

Simons beyond tugs at the heartstrings in this installment when Cam, Freyja, and friends must brave the peril of another journey and discover the truth about why they were chosen. I know I’ve said this with every book so far but Caim is my favorite. Simons writing is just so incredible. Each book just keeps getting better and every twist is more mind blowing! Thank you T.S.

If you love any sort of dystopian sci-fi you will absolutely love this series. It is delightfully unpredictable and deep. This installment, book two The Liminal space, has such a great and seamless flow from book one. I can’t wait to read the next book in this fantastic series, Ouroboros!

I know I will be thinking about Sera and Cait for a while to come and asking myself what if? T.S. Simons gives you everything you want in a series where the installments just get better and better. I love her style and I am truly looking forward to picking up more of her work in the near future! I highly recommend the Antipodes series to any lover of the Sci-Fi genre, you will not be disappointed!

With well written characters that are just so fun to get to know like Talaith and Maya to Lillith making my jaw actually drop!

This book was very well written, with a Hunky male warrior and a strong female lead! The dialogue Jackson uses really helps the story come to life, I could almost hear what Rowan would sound like. The inclusion of Celtic mythology is the icing on the cake and makes Talisman a really interesting and fun read! I cannot wait to get my hands on Warrior, book 2 in this bold and sexy series! I highly recommend this book to anyone in need of a date night with a book!
