My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an interesting take on this fabulous and gripping paranormal romance!! This book is the 2nd in a series but I do not feel as though I’ve missed any aspects regarding the storyline by not reading the first book. Rest assured, it’s on my list now and I’ve found another author that I enjoy reading!

Avery goes out with some friends to a local bar but finds herself waking up naked in her apartment covered only by a sheet. She hadn’t been drinking. How did she get here? She does remember someone over in the bushes…but who? How long has she been unaware of her surroundings?

Luys lives in the same condo building as Avery and when he sees her stumbling around aimlessly, he can’t help but step in to see what he can do. He knows better than to get attached though…his past could put both of their lives in danger. He can’t just let her wander around or worse yet, get in a car and have an accident.

Mayor is a rather interesting character. I am intrigued by her entrances and exits. It reminds me of someone rather green with envy. 😉 She’s a character that I wanted to hate but couldn’t. I found her very intriguing!

The paranormal aspects are unlike anything I’ve read before. I found the ties to Aztec history to be very interesting!! I appreciate that there is still a bit of mystery to the paranormal aspect as well and the book isn’t heavy on the paranormal until things really heat up. Even then, I found myself almost forgetting that I was reading a paranormal book. Very nice touch!

I had a hard time putting this one down, as the author really keeps the reader engaged with appropriate bits of action and some romance. There was a beautiful blend of all aspects throughout the book without any super heavy overtones that are seen in some more common works. This was an extremely enjoyable read!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a different kind of book than I normally read so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. This book is fast paced enough that it kept me engaged. It was full of suspense that kept my wondering what was going on the whole time! A Long Kiss Goodbye had a twist and turn around every corner.

This is the second book in the series and now I will be going back to read the first!

I knew A Long Kiss Goodbye has a paranormal aspect, but never did I expect the route it went. The author wrote an interesting story. A story I was sucked into, I had to keep reading once I started. Once I was done, I felt like the emotions I went through, I have a love/hate relationship for this book.
Avery, an ordinary woman in her late 20s, ends up in an extraordinary situation. That’s tied to the murders happening in her Arizona home. She just doesn’t understand how. Someone attacked her, cut into her chest but she’s still alive. People nearby are suffering the same fate, but aren’t surviving. The question is, why?
Luys is way more than he seems. He’s hiding something and Avery doesn’t like it. Now that she knows her neighbor she’s going to push him to reveal parts of his past. It won’t be easy for either person to understand but it needs to be said. Now being the prime suspect in the murder of someone in their complex, Luys needs to figure out his next steps.
It’s a case of whodunnit, with a paranormal twist. Can Luys prove his innocence? Does he turn in the real culprit, or continue to protect her? Does Avery finally see who Luys truly is? All that and so many more questions will litter your mind while reading this book. Which is exactly how the author sucks you in!
Don’t believe me, check it out for yourself!

A Long Kiss Goodbye is the second book in the Onyx & Mercury series by H.D. Thomson. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Have I not discovered this brilliant author before now????? After reading this I have to admit that I have seriously been missing out on some stellar reading for some time…. But, on the other hand I am excited to find that there is a long list of other books to this author’s name for me to devour- so I can feel a massive book-binge is in order. Limbering up my one-click finger in preparation.
This is a seriously good paranormal romance with a twisty, intense, mysterious and entirely suspenseful storyline. The author writes incredibly well, and it is apparent that she is quite a talented storyteller, skilfully crafting her story with palpable tension, edge of your seat danger, unexpected developments, simmering chemistry, and superb world-building. I was so hooked on the story that I couldn’t and wouldn’t put it down. It wasn’t until I had finished and went looking to see what else I could find from this author that I discovered that this is the second book in the series. So, I am setting off on Book #1 as soon as I complete this review. Being the second book in the series didn’t impact my reading of the story in any way… I never felt like I was missing any part of the storyline or any details. It has, however, made me extremely curious to discover what happened in Book #1. So excited to be embarking on a new love affair with this author- well, her books that is lol..
I am so looking forward to my book binge with H.D. Thomson. So happy to have finally discovered her work, as my first time has proved to be one of my favourite reads of the year, so far!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, H.D. Thomson!

This was a really good read. The authors writing was really gripping, I found myself wanting to turn the pages faster and faster so I could find out what was going to happen next. The action starts with Avery waking up having no recollection of how she’s been cut open and sewn back up again. I enjoyed the story and its unpredictable story line. The characters were well thought out and developed well as the story progressed. Although this is the second book in the series I read it as a standalone and encountered no issues. I would definitely recommend this to other paranormal romance lovers!

What a great well written original paranormal romance with a lot of mystery and crime thrown in.
I was slightly worried because this is book 2 and i had not yet read book 1, but it holds itself well as a standalone. But I can guarantee you will want more. Avery and her mysterious and handsome neighbor Luys make this book amazing. The pace of it was great. I didn’t want to even put it down and when I had to, I couldn’t stop thinking of what was going to happen next! Definitely read this book.

This was a different kind of book for me in the sense that I went in blindly and was not prepared for the whirlwind this was.
From the first chapter I was wondering what was going to happen next and who the real bad guy was. I was super surprised let me tell you!
I wish I had some backstory or details on some things mentioned but being my first read by this author I may have missed it and will dive right into it!

I really enjoyed this story. This is book 2 in the series however it can be read as a standalone and is still really enjoyable. This book is definately one of favourite so far this year. It had a mixed of all the elements I love in a story. It is action packed with action, danger, a little romance, Paranormal and twists and turns you dont see coming. No one is who they seem and that is what keeps the reader guessing.
Both our main character have secrets that need to come our in the open if they are to be saved. There are foces working against them that they dont realise and when Avery’s life is in danger she needs to work with her neighbour Luys to solve the danger. Can they stop this killer before its too late? What secrets is Luys hiding and will they put Avery’s life in even more danger then it already started off in?
This story is a gripping read which has you turning pages so fast to uncover the secrets and solve the mystery of who attacked Avery and why.

This is a fascinating paranormal romance that really had me gripped from the very beginning and was hard to put down. I had not read any work by this author before so was unsure what to expect from this book, but I can say that I will definitely read their work again in future.
When Avery wakes up after a night out and discovers that she’s naked and that her chest has been cut open and sewn shut again, she has no idea what has happened. She has no recollection of anything after going to bed after a few drinks with friends.
This opening to the book sure pulls you into the story straight away. You just want to keep reading to find out what happened to her. Add into the mix her hot neighbour who is hiding some secrets of his own and you are in for a fantastic read.
The story is medium to fast paced and flows very well, keeping the reader engaged and entertained.
I really loved the characters of Avery and hot neighbour Luys. Both are very intriguing and you want to keep reading to find out more about them. What secrets are they hiding?
I would 100% recommend this book.

A woman looking to escape her past.

A man returning to his roots.

And someone just beneath the surface, watching their every move… 

Quimby Grove, Pennsylvania is the perfect place for a fresh start.  After leaving her old life behind, Ellawyn Calloway is finally able to breathe a little easier.  She spends all her time at Starlight Books, a quaint bookstore café, and develops a friendship with the elderly shop owner, Benji. 

But everything changes when Benji requests that his grandson, Beckett Walden, return to Quimby Grove for a visit.  When Ellawyn learns of a devastating threat to Starlight Books, she doesn’t think twice, offering to help Beckett run the store. 

Ellawyn finds herself letting her guard down piece by piece.  But as those walls fade away, an unwanted presence finds a way to slip through the cracks and into Ellawyn’s life. With a stalker on the prowl, Ellawyn is in more danger than she ever imagined. 

Through tragedy, Ellawyn and Beckett begin to find love within each other, both oblivious to the real danger that is lurking in the shadows, desperate to get Ellawyn alone.

I could not put this down! This book is number 2 in the Onyx and Avery series in my opinion this can be read as a standalone as I did. This was a thrilling, immersive, and suspenseful read. Avery wakes up in her own bed at home alone. She has been cut open and sewn back together. What happened and why? Then the killings start, is there a serial killer and does this relate to what happened to Avery? I do not want to say much more as I want you to go on the same amazing rollercoaster I did.

I loved this book, it was very suspenseful, and had a lot going on in good way. I found things added up nicely a i read, and I questioned literally everything! I was at the edge of my seat while reading!

This book was a well written mystery story, Suspense was amazing and also the action. They perfectly complimented each other through out the book. I found secrets were the main object of the story, I could not prepare myself for when something greater than the secrets I knew of came to light. Shock face was made with my facial expressions. That’s why I loved this book so much, it kept you guessing, and wondering what would occur next. Nothing was what it seemed! Amazing writing! Loved it!

Fantastic writing and for sure a very amazing author as well. This book is a must read. I read it all in almost one sitting. I could not put it down. Highly recommend this must read book! It’s amazing!

This is a fascinating paranormal story. Avery finds herself brutally attacked and has no idea what happened to her or who was responsible for it. Horrible, violent murders start to occur all around her and she starts to wonder if her attack is related. Luys doesn’t want to get involved but he can’t stand to watch her suffer in constant danger. He doesn’t want to reveal his past but he doesn’t see any other way to help her. They’re drawn to each other, each not sure if it’s safe to trust and they have to face so much danger together. This book is full of action, romance, suspense and the paranormal and it’s told from different viewpoints. I enjoyed that because it gives you additional insights into the story and each of the unique characters. This was an amazing story that you won’t want to miss and I absolutely cannot wait to read more from this author.

After going out for drinks with friends Avery is viciously attacked. Who could have done this? Someone she knows or a complete stranger? Who can she trust? Enter her hot, brooding neighbor Luys. He keeps to himselg mostly due to his personal preference, but also to keep people safe. Trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes. When he sees his attractive neighbor struggling to stay upright trying to make it to her vehicle he steps in to help. He only meant to drop her off at the hospital, but ends up staying to make sure everything was okay and take her back home. Why does Luys feel the need to try and protect Avery? Will their attraction turn into more? Will Avery get the closure she needs by seeing her attacker be put behind bars?

This story was a little different than the paranormal stories I’m used to, but I did enjoy it. Even though this is the second book in a series I didn’t feel lost starting with this one. I will most likely check out book one because I don’t want to feel like I missed out on something that may have been important or explained in this book.

This book drew me in from the start. When I jumped into this book I was a little unsure if I would be able to follow since I hadn’t read the first book in this series but I found that I had no trouble at all. I am now definitely going to go back and read book one since I enjoyed this one so much. I found this story to be original and intriguing. I read this book in one sitting because I was so enthralled in the story line. I needed to know where this story was going. This book has a lot of history while still remaining current. This author did a wonderful job writing a romantic, paranormal, dramatic read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Long Kiss Goodbye is a nice dark treat and probably one of the best books I have read this year. It gets all your senses kicked into high gear. The story is fast-paced, thrilling and I love the way HD has cleverly woven all the delicate threads contained in this twisty plot. It is intriguing and suspenseful, steamy and a page turner that you are unable to put down. With dark secrets and lies around every corner, assault and murder looming in the dark, evil lurking in the shadows, it’s a wonder anyone is safe. Intrigue, action packed drama, thrills and suspense are the name of the game.

This is the follow on from A Kiss Before Dying which I discovered after I had finished but I did not feel I was missing a thing. This is my first-time reading HD’s work and I enjoyed the writing so much that I am going to go and devour the rest of her work.

I am not giving anything away because this is one little gem you need to discover the intensity of the story all by yourself. This is one of two books that you don’t want to miss out on.

This is an enjoyable and exciting paranormal romance with plenty of suspense to keep any reader hooked. When Avery is brutally attacked, there is no motive, and no suspect. Then days later when a neighbour is found dead, the second mutilated body to be found, it’s presumed that a serial killer is on the loose in Scottsdale. When Avery learns that her attack was not random or normal, she does not know who to trust, she even sees her next door neighbour, Luys act of kindness as being sinister. Meanwhile, Luys has his own secrets and a past he wants to keep hidden.
When Avery is attacked, Luys knows that a killer deadlier than any human is to blame, and that he needs to protect her. Luys knows that if he trusts Avery he will be exposing his dark history. With a killer, “filled with a seething need for vengeance”, on the loose the couple join forces to find the killer, knowing they might not survive. As their attraction grows they start to wonder if a relationship between them is doomed from the start. The characters were well defined and the chemistry between Avery and Luys really came across in the narrative. This had a fast paced storyline with plenty of plot twists and turns that kept me happily turning the pages.

I enjoyed this suspenseful story. It is a story where one secret is big but someone else has a bigger secret. What they have in common is that they both could end up in death. What will happen when these two characters, Avery and Luys, team up? Someone is not who they say they are which makes things even more dangerous. This is a great story that is hard to put down. The characters pull you in from the beginning and keep me engaged to the end. They are strong, supportive towards each other and relatable. I really enjoyed what they brought to the story. They have great growth throughout the story which made the story easy to read. This is a story that is full of suspense and action. The twists and turns had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what happened next, they had me coming back for more. This is a great story that I highly recommend. You don’t want to miss an enjoyable suspense story.

This one of the most original, intense, and intriguing, paranormal romance stories that I’ve read so far this year. It turns out that nothing is as it seems. Avery is attacked by what is thought to be a serial killer but turns out to be something else (read it and find out, you know you want to). Twists and turn, suspense at every corner had me holding my breath. I loved every minute of this story. The characters all had that are of mystery about them. There was just something off. I felt like everyone was suspicious. The plot flowed well even with all the twists and turns. The tone was like watching a great psycho thriller from the 80’s (my generation). I’d give it more than 10 stars if I could. It’s that could and you should hit that one-click button. Book two of series.

She has a secret. He has a darker secret. One of their secrets can get them both killed.

Avery is brutally attacked. There is no motive, no suspect. She doesn’t know who to trust. The neighbor? Her friends? What about her lover or the police? Making the wrong choice will lead to her murder.

Days later, a neighbor is found dead. His mutilated body is the second in a matter of weeks. A serial killer has hit the streets of Scottsdale, and Avery suspects her assault is somehow tied to the killings.

As she slowly unravels the truth, Avery realizes her attack is anything but normal or random. She is only one player amongst many. But does she risk confiding in anyone? What about her next-door neighbor, Luys? His act of kindness has brought them together. But is it truly kindness or something more sinister? Could he be hiding his own agenda?

Luys wants his past kept in the past. But a killer, far deadlier than any human, isn’t willing to let things go. Then when Avery is assaulted, he knows he must do something to protect her, but at what cost? There’s no going back if he dares to trust Avery with his dark history. He’ll not only expose himself but the ones he loves. And what of any relationship between them? Is it doomed from the start, leading to pain, even death?

If they join forces to find a killer, will it be enough to survive? Because before they’re done, more than one person will die. And they’ll quickly learn someone is pretending to be who they’re not and that the killer is filled with a seething need for vengeance.

Twisted Throttle (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #3)Twisted Throttle by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After reading the previous books in this series I was ready to dive in.
A book that has steamy hot romance, a little crime, some suspense and action there is nothing to dislike about this book.
You can read Throttle’s story by itself but I highly recommend reading the other first as you get background information and love the characters a little more!
Can Throttle protect himself and those around him while he figures out what could possible be going on in his life or is disaster going to strike for everyone?!?
Get a comfy chair and a blanket and saddle up for the third installment

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow this is just as good as the first book, Evil Sushi! The second book encompasses the whole crew, or what is left of the crew, looking for Evil Sushi and Sashimi. All across, people living in the fishermen towns are panicking, leaving their towns and flooding the mainland’s. This is making people panic about being the next ones to fall prey to the mutated ones. Aileen is reeling from the loss of her brother while Sally and Rods relationship change in ways that I could not even begin to think would happen. I have never read a book like this let alone it be a part of a series where it did not fit the bill for one category, which makes it great for all kinds of readers! I cannot wait for the third book to see how it all ends!!

Savage Secrets (Mafia Elite, #4)Savage Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is yet another great addition to this series. This book ratchets up the intensity and pressure on our core group of characters. The Italian Mafia bosses and their spouses bring Elena Caruso back into the fold after a four year absence, which was done to protect her from the Russian Mafia. Mafia boss Marco La Rosa has loved Elena for years, but always kept his distance due to an arranged marriage that is no longer in play. Elena is a cousin to Max and Tony Caruso, but was raised as Tony’s adopted sister until the summer she disappeared and was presumed to be dead. The surprise twists and turns in this book will keep you guessing (though, perhaps you’ll solve it early, but doubt yourself until the reveal like I did) until the end. The best rule of thumb in this series, and especially this book, is not everything is what it seems to be. This book can be read as a standalone, but is so much better as a part of the series it belongs in.

Born in Darkness (Mafia Elite, #3)Born in Darkness by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Born in Darkness tells the story of Stefano Rossi and Emiliana Vitale. Emiliana has some serious trauma in her past, in no small part because of human trafficking. Stefano has trauma of his own to try and heal from, both from rescuing Emiliana years before, and the hell that was his childhood. The two have been friends since childhood, but both have always wanted more. Stefano keeps Em at arm’s length to try and protect her from the monster that is his own father. Em is afraid that some wounds may never truly heal from her past, though she is more than willing to try and find out.

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blood Oath continues the Mafia Elite Series by Amy McKinley. This second book in the series is a worthy companion to the first installment. This series keeps getting hotter and keeps ratcheting up the suspense and the drama. I can’t wait to see where this series goes from here, but I have absolutely no doubt that it will be amazing from start to finish. In this book, we follow the story of Sofia La Rosa and Enzo Vitale. Two star crossed lovers worthy of another Italian couple. While their families aren’t at war with each other, arranged marriages and secrets threaten to keep our clandestine lovers apart. Through the many twists and turns that can only possibly found within the Mafia , from a blood oath undertaken during a terrifying event at very young age, this pair find a way back to each other at different points in their lives, and even find a way for their love to work, at least for a while. The biggest question of all, though, is will the secrets that Sofia holds and that Enzo is a part of keep them apart for goo While there is definitely more blood and guts in this book, there is also a truly impressive story being told and unfolded at just the right pace to keep you guessing and coming back for more. I truly cannot wait to pick up the next installment of this gripping series and see if I have correctly found the rat among these Mafia bosses and their families.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book has so much steam from the very beginning, that you can’t help but blush while reading it. The story itself is a little all over the place. I’m not meaning poorly written, it has a great story line to it and amazing characters. What made it all over the place for me was the added point of view. It isn’t horrible, I just didn’t care to have a third persons point of view as to what was going on. Purely my own opinion. I love the two main characters giving their view of what is going on. Adding the third person to it just kinda lost the feel of the story for me. I love a strong female character but don’t necessarily care for a female character that is so set in her ways that it is a liability to herself. Most people don’t do what the main female in the story did. I love that she has a passion for what she does. I love that the main man is supportive of her dreams and is willing to make sure that she can accomplish everything safely. It is a swoony romance and you are captivated by not only all the steamy scenes but also the reactions of the characters when things happen. It is not your typical firefighter romance book. If you go in with an open mind and about 2 hours of time you can finish this book with a slight coloring of your cheeks and a new appreciation for female firefighters.

The Good Lie by A.R. Torre – Review by Colleen Noyes

The Good LieThe Good Lie by A.R. Torre
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I borrowed this book through Kindle Unlimited and it’s my first book by this author. This gripping psychological story will make you second guess just about everything. There is suspense, romance, lies, turmoil, and shock. Dr. Gwen is a very likeable character that you can tell feels what her patients are going through, but that seems to also be her greatest downfall. Attorney Robert is a torn and beat down man who is good at his job and has you saying to yourself what is he thinking? The only character I really could not connect to was Scott, maybe there wasn’t enough about him to really let you get to know him. I found him to be a little unrealistic and not a lot of substance. The overall story and concept we well thought out and the author has a very easy writing style. If you like a good suspense story you will enjoy this book as I did.
