I’ve read a few of Brooke May’s previous books and really enjoyed them. This series did not disappoint! It was such a cute and funny story. Quick and enjoyable read! Faida, another one of Cupid’s helpers, has got more of an icy exterior due to her past experiences of matching. On her new matching assignment, she is paired with Robert and his heartstring is strongest with that of his daughter. Being a single dad brings you closer to your children for sure! With this challenge that Faida faces, she must find a way to make sure Robert can find his love match before it’s too late. I highly suggest reading this series in order as tidbits here and there make more sense as you progress along with each book.

I’ve read a few of Brooke May’s previous books and really enjoyed them. This series did not disappoint! It was such a cute and funny story. Quick and enjoyable read! Aiko is one of Cupid’s helpers when it comes to helping humans find their perfect match. She has had the unfortunate reputation of getting overexcited and overly helpful when it comes to matching her humans and sometimes has ended up in disastrous scenarios. She has been given another chance and wants to prove to everyone that she can set a perfect match without hazardous results. So many funny moments and romantic match made!

Children of the Wild is the first book I have read by Krysta Tawlks and a book my middle-grade kids will love! (I always read books before them, you never know what someone might sneak in, and I am a horror lover so have been properly traumatized lol). This book is a historical fantasy that is full of coping with all the big emotions kids go through, such as anger and love. The characters and settings are written so well and beautifully that you can really see yourself in the story, even with all the fantastical creatures. I really loved that the story deals with a young boy that has a lot of self doubt but learns to find himself. This is such a great under-lying lesson in a wonderful story and I hope to pick up more by this author! Very well done!

The Uncrowned King is the second book in the deliciously dark The Blood Prince trilogy by Ayla Marie. I was introduced to Ayla when I read her first book The Blood Prince and said she is one author to watch, and she certainly is. She is still in high school, but her work is wonderful, and she has a great knack at storytelling. The Uncrowned King is another intriguing YA fantasy and shows Ayla Marie’s natural talent. Even though it is a YA story it can be read by anyone of any age. I am 61 and I enjoyed it. It is an interesting tale that you won’t be able to put down. The world building is spot on, and the story became so engrossing that the pages kept on turning. Sleep is overrated anyway. Ayla is just as good if not better than some of the seasoned authors I have read.
This is a great read that is action packed with lots of danger and hidden agendas, drama with lots of twists and turns that will have your heart pumping and you will be on the edge of your seat. I am not giving away any spoilers because it is a story that should be explored on your own. Do yourself a favour and delve into the world of The Blood Prince. Can’t wait for the next book.

It’s been a while since I have enjoyed the goings on of the Brookes Cupid’s and was excited when I saw this new book out. These Cupids have all the right intensions but not everything goes to plan. You will fall in love with them and their quirky ways. Seraphina is the fourth book in the wonderful romantic comedy The Heartstrings Series. The books in this series are funny, fun, original and refreshing. This story that drew me in from the start and I found myself getting lost in the story. It’s easy to get lost in the story and you can’t help but fall in love with this quirky cupid. Laughing out loud with her antics as she tries to right her wrongs. Seraphina is not like the other cupids; she is fiery and sassy and is determined to help this hockey superstar who is full of himself find love. If it means she has to knock him over the head with whatever she has to get him off his high and mighty pedestal she will. Seth thinks he is all that but all that has gotten him in trouble on more than one occasion, not that he cares. Let the mayhem begin! Grab a drink and settle in for an entertaining afternoon read.

I absolutely adore the Cupid series. Seraphina had me chuckling. She’s a little grumpy because she’s stuck with Josh again. She’s tried twice to match him to no avail. Maybe the third time will be the charm. I found this story quite entertaining. You felt like you were right there, whether it was with Seraphina, Seth, or Marron. It’s humorous and serious at the same time. As a society, there is a fascination with celebrities. We want to see and imagine what it’s like to have what they have. I enjoyed this story because it fed that fascination. Seraphina brings together two people with their own sets of issues and it somehow all worked out fine after some guided adventures. It can be read as a standalone. I recommend the whole series. They are all wonderful.

Unclutter (Inner Voice Book 1) by Winnie D Pagora. This is a young adult very traumatic read. Its the story of Tina Lauren who is a survivor of sexual abuse. She is attacked by powerful and wealthy Nicholas Parker and when she stands up for herself it becomes even worse. So all Tina’s life she has been abused by men on different levels. She is so traumatized that she acts out in different ways such as cutting. Letting the abuse get in her head she believes she doesn’t deserve any better so she keeps getting herself into these situations. Rory and Jai are Tina’s friends and they are what help keep her sane. Then she meets Ekon and he is cute and friendly and she actually really likes him. This is a wonderful book full of deeply tragic things but shows that Tina with the help of her friends can survive this hard life she has been given. There are some triggers in this read so be prepared and its also very emotional at times. Such a good story that probably happens in real life a lot more than we want to believe.

This was a cute story! I liked the cupid angle and thought it was a little different. The plot did fit the genre and I did like Seth. I liked Seraphina’s spunk and thought she fit well with Seth’s personality. This was a quick read and I did enjoy it.

Cupids are thought to be jovial creatures, sent to help humans find their perfect love match.
Seraphina is far from the jovial type. Quick to find her temper rather than the serenity her sisters possess, she’s about to be given the test of her eternal life.
Seth Maxwell is a hockey superstar. The best in the world. From the Olympics to the league he plays on, he’s become a household name. But not in a good way. Known for not being a team player and ending up in one scandal after another with starlets, Seth needs a massive makeover.
And we aren’t talking about his looks.
Unfortunately for Seraphina, this isn’t her first encounter with the hockey player. Not that he would remember any of it.
They say the third time is the charm and Seraphina is determined now more than ever before to prove she has what it takes to help a man she’s failed in the past.
Let’s just hope Seth is willing to get off that pedestal he’s placed himself on to see what a good thing Seraphina is helping guide him to.
Forget the mythical bow and arrow, Seraphina is about to pull out all the stops to make Seth’s love connection stick.
Brooke spent a great deal of her childhood and even well into her adulthood in her imagination and creating different stories. With an overactive imagination life has been truly entertaining.
A mother of two wild and reckless boys and a wife; Brooke keeps busy year round doing things with her pups and family. When she isn’t writing, can usually be spotted walking somewhere in town, at the library with her youngest, or up in the mountains four-wheeling, hiking, fishing, and some hunting. A notebook and camera are never far from her side when she is out on her adventures with her family.
She loves hearing from readers and anyone who feels like talking. Feel free to pay her a visit whenever.

In the search for peace, a mercenary becomes a prince…
In the foreign land of Illena, Leo finds himself with the offer of a country at his feet. With his siblings in tow, he spends his days navigating a new world of finery set on pushing his family out. As the ghost of a brother left behind and the thoughts of a girl who refused to escape never cease to haunt him, the weight of a country hangs heavily over his head.
As Lady Death follows close behind, they must distinguish friend from foe…
When a group of criminals take interest in Leo and his siblings, they must decide whether to trust the people who mirror their former lives in Somereil or turn towards the Bloodlines—Illena’s elite—and start anew. Leo is finally able to fall into an easy trust with his new allies, but he soon discovers a truth that tears his family apart and forces him to choose between his head and his heart.
Will he save his family or his people when the world starts to burn?
Just as Leo begins to see a future in Illena, past enemies soon emerge from the darkness with a promise of blood. While he and his family fight for their freedom, it becomes impossible to find a haven to protect the little they have left. When fierce foes tear those Leo cares about from his grip, his mind begins to sink deeper into despair. Will he overcome the odds and be the hero Illena desperately needs, or will he fuel the flames consuming the peace they’d given so much to attain and become the monster they always feared?
Ayla Marie is a Canadian high school student whose love for fantasy started when she was twelve and hasn’t dulled since. She will read any book you put in front of her—textbooks do not count—especially when they have action packed storylines and a romantic subplot that makes you want to read as fast as you can, while wishing it would never end. Though writing, reading, and studying take up most of her time—or all her time according to her younger brother—she always manages to find space in her schedule to play some soccer and hang out with friends and family. Her goofy dog and two cats are her biggest fans, and though she could have done without the constantly interrupting barks and meows, she loves their annoying presence very much.
The Blood Prince is her debut novel, but she plans to write many more, deepening her love for writing and literature with every page.

Tiara went through a lot. Abusers kept seeing her as easy prey. Through it all Tiara almost gave up but got the help and courage to keep fighting. People looked up to Tiara and she helped them fight as well. This was a good book about what she went through and I recommend it but also put trigger warning for abuse.

An absolutely wonderful historical fantasy for young readers that can be enjoyed by older readers just as much. The writing captured my interest from page one and kept me hooked to the end. Elbert was relatable and easy to connect with. It was like you were along for the ride right next to him while he discovered a magic spark within him. His family connection during this time was heartwarming. This story had family, growth, loss, discovery, and many emotions.

While I don’t get triggered by much, I have had a past that aligns closely with this read, and this book helped unpacked some pent up emotions for sure. The story of this young, teenager girl in this book followed down a path that I know personally, and a path that way too many people have to follow. This is a strong, well-written book that sincerely sheds just a glimmer of light on way to common situations, from sexual abuse to therapy afterwards and even getting a life back on track after multiple ‘failures’. Read this book with caution and with an open mind, someone you know and love may have these paths that they fight and you have no idea about it (another too common issue).

This is a first novel for the author. It was very well written and kept my interest. The author nailed it with a mix of history and fantasy that pulls the read right in. I enjoyed the characters – they all were important to the story line. I liked the idea of a young man finding himself – waking up feeling different and then embracing what is happening. Overall, this is a fantastic read for young adult/middle grades readers.

Unclutter by Winnie Pagora is available now in eBook and Physical Book ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐+ Book Review
Unclutter is a young adult novel about fighting abuse. This was my first time reading a novel written by Pagora and I would not hesitate in the future to pick up another novel written by this author. Within this novel, Pagora touches on very touchy subjects such as sexual abuse and self harm. Her ability to touch on these topics with such delicacy and poise really attracts me as a reader. Tina’s story of surviving and overcoming trauma sent me through a whirlwind of emotions. I found myself routing for her to overcome her horrific past. I personally have not been in this type of situation, but someone very dear to my heart has. To read of such strength gives me hope that people who have undergone this type of treatment can live a fulfilling life despite it. I highly recommend this book!

Such a great historical fantasy, I was hooked from the beginning. I loved that no time was wasted getting to the point that something different was going on with Elbert. I love that even while he was going through this and discovering himself, his family stuck with him. This story definitely left me wanting more, I know their father felt Juni would carry this magic but I feel Finn also will, so I wish we could get a series with this book. I enjoyed the flow of the book, there’s no dragging out and the ending doesn’t feel rushed with the trappers. I feel readers of all ages will love this book, older readers will get a Tuck Everlasting feel while you’re wanting to protect Valora and her family.

This is a fantastic YA Mystery that reads quickly and has an amazing depth to its character development. Stas has found herself in a very interesting situation when she finds her mother unable to care for her. However, this is where the story really begins. She has so many people who want to take care of her, however, there is really only one that she desires to live with. But at this point, there are so many different opinions and she doesn’t know who to trust who is even looking out for her best interests. This is such an amazing, interesting read. I definitely recommend picking it up!

This is a cute story to read. It is well written and fun to read. It is a story about a young boy who starts to feel something funny inside him. When he realizes it is magic, he now has to decide to embrace it or find it a curse. This young boy is a great character. I enjoyed watching him try to sort out his emotions. He is a strong character that any older child would enjoy reading about. There is great plot growth which just added to this child’s story. I enjoyed reading it. This is a great fantasy story that I highly recommend.

Children of the Wild (Children of the Wild Series) by Krysta Tawlks. This is such a good fantasy, young adult read. Its the story of Elbert who lives on a farm in the early 20th century. Elbert thinks he’s just a normal teenager with a normal family until one day he begins to physically feel different. He gets a weird sensation on his chest and he begins to grow feathers. He begins to see the world differently and almost feels at one with nature. As Elbert goes thru his self discovery he struggles with self doubt and grief. While going thru this process he begins to really feel like himself and learns to be the real Elbert. There is magic, shape shifting, mythical themes and magical abilities. This is such a fun journey for young adults and even older adults!

This is a unique and interesting story that is really well written and thought through. As a debut novel it really showcases what this author has to offer. It is a historical fantasy story that draws you in with ease. It has a depth about it that you don’t always get from books like this and is more than I expected it would be. I enjoyed the characters in the book. Each had their own part to play and added something to the storyline. I wanted to know more about them and their journey. This book is a great book and I cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next.

Each of us are born with differing traits that set us apart from each other. Elbert starts noticing things changing for him when he turns 14 years old.

Children of the Wild (Children of the Wild Series) by Krysta Tawlks is a young adult fantasy
In a quaint early 20th-century farm town, young Elbert enjoys his ordinary life with his ordinary family. Or so he thinks. One day, a burning sensation digs into his chest, gentle breezes chafe his skin, and water stings. Soon, feathers sprout across his body. He discovers magic in the hills, and mighty creatures lurking near the river. And Elbert might be one of them. But only he can decide whether to grow the magic spark within himself or let it snuff out. This poignant story follows a boy struggling with self-doubt and grief, and the ones who give him hope enough to break a curse.
Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

Children of the Wild is the first book in the Children of the Wild series by Krysta Tawlks. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Tawlks, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into the story. But Ido love a great YA fantasy, so I happily jumped in and set off on the adventure. This is an easy story to read- it is fairly light-hearted- offering a tale of self-discovery, magic, family, friendship, adventure, secrets, facing your fear, emotion, overcoming obstacles, a quest for the truth, mystery, dealing with self-doubts, finding your true purpose, and some dramatic developments. I thought this was a charming read, and I will certainly be keeping an eye out for more from Ms. Tawlks in the future. Happy Reading…

Children of the Wild is an YA historical fantasy tale. Krysta Twalks is a relatively new author and one to be watched. This unique and vividly imaginative tale is original. It is refreshing to read something a little different from the norm.
Mythological creatures, shape shifters, magic, magical abilities and transformations are just some of the things that you will find in this magical tale.
One boy is about to find out who he really is. I mean it’s not everyday that you suddenly sprout feathers and can magically produce sparks. He finds he is surrounded by magical creatures he never knew existed. He finds himself in a world full of wonder and danger.
Elbert must learn to wield his magic along with learning to be who he is and accepting who he is. He must learn to deal with the grief of losing a sister whilst looking after his other siblings. He finds himself in a fight with a friend and being aware of enemies that could threaten it all.
Acceptance, overcoming grief and hope is just some of what he must learn…

What a fascinating story. I loved the shapeshifting aspect to it. The historical part of the story was similar to Tuck Everlasting, as had been recommended. I have never read that book. I did find this story attention keeping, able to draw me in and quite intriguing. I found the characters to be developed very well. The detail was good. It’s a story that I’ll read to my grandson when he’s a little older. I believe it’ll grab his attention.
