Murder by Moonlight (Felines of Fairytale Forest Book 1)Murder by Moonlight by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder by Moonlight is the first book in the Felines of Fairytale Forest Series by K.L. Montgomery. This book really isn’t like anything else I have ever read. We are following our protagonist Catherine (Cat) who is a night time custodian at a Fairytale theme park in South Caroline. Everything is business as usual until one of the Managers turns up murder. Though no one really liked the manager all that much the murder is still not great. Cat finds herself on the list of suspects and has to attempt to find the real killer and clear her name. She gets help from Zoe and Gloria to try to solve the mystery before its to late. This book is absolutely fun and intriguing. You will not want to put it down. 4 out of 5 stars!

Second Glance (The Serrulata Saga)Second Glance by A.E. Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Second Glance: A Serrulata Saga Romance Novel by A.E. Bennett is a forbidden MM romance with an HEA. This book really has it all. The disability representation the LQBTQ rep. This book is apart of a series but can be read as a standalone. You will fall into this world effortlessly and when you resurface into reality you will quickly realize that you have been reading much longer than you expected. You get sucked in, in the best possible way. I highly recommend giving this story a read if you enjoy a story that will give you all the feels and still has plenty of spice. 4 out of 5 stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Drag Me Down by Landra Graf id the fourth book in the Full Throttle Cyborgs Series. This book can absolutely be read as a standalone.

But I was able to enjoy the book despite having never read the others. This book is as fast paced as they come. You will not one put it down. With action at every turn, and relatable characters this sone is a 4 out of 5 stars!
