My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this author for all they create and write, I have been reading books by them for quite some time now. This book installment in this specific series, was one I could not wait for! It was very much worth the wait!

I loved the first one with the paranormal aurora, the characters, and everything to do with the academy! This one I loved just as much. It was so awesome reading about MaKayla again and her friends, with studies and games to participate in, as well, as something less than kind is lurking in the academy walls. The book gave a lot of action, suspense, as well as intrigue. I couldn’t put this down, I was constantly wanting to know what would follow! I have always admired this author’s writing style, and how they bring the story to life. No confusion, everything makes sense and comes together well! Great installment to the series! Loved it!

Great addition to the series, and I cannot wait to see what will happen next! This series as well as author, does not disappoint! Very much recommend this book, series, and author! Must read on all accounts!

Scepter of Fire (The Vigilant Book 2) by LM Preston – Review by Kerry Carr

Scepter Of Fire (Vigilant, #2)Scepter Of Fire by L.M. Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in the Vigilant Series. I would highly recommend reading these books in order so you get the full understanding of the characters and the story. You definately need to read Unbreakable Darkness which is the book before this one and the start of Dex story.
After find out in the previous book that his whole life is a lie he now has to fight to find a way to escape the people who don’t want him free and to live life on his own terms.
Along the way he will face life changing dangers and discover some things he never knew. With friends old and new showing up it becomes hard for Dex to know who he can trust and who is going to be against him.
This story is full of mystery, danger and feelings of teenage angst that keeps the story moving at a fast pace. The way the author leaves the story sets it up perfectly for the next book and I can’t wait to read it.

Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale Book 1) by MK Harkins – Review by Charlene Gonzalez

Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale, #1)Ashes by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I gave this 3 stars because this reminded me of Cinderalla getting picked at by her evil stepmom and her step sisters. The only difference here is a girl named Ashley trying to live a normal at High School without drawing too much attention to herself who later ends up helping prince charming Harry, who has to go to this school to get his life straight but ends up needing help to hide who he is and from people telling what to do. Both Ashely and Harry change their whole life around, is love worth it for them, or do they have to be told what to do?
Other than that it has some twisted parts and an interesting point of view of how Ashley shows her strong side in life.

Gravediggers actually do the digging. Grave Diggers, however, keep buried bodies where they belong—six feet under.

It’s Makayla’s second year in the paranormal academy system, and she isn’t returning alone. No one made the honour roll last semester, and the coveted transfer position was withheld. It’s a good thing, too—GDA needs participants for the inter-academy face off. A win could bring back prestige and funding the institution so desperately needs. A loss, however, would close its doors forever.

This year’s students are about to learn there’s more to their Academy than meets the eye. Something isn’t right about the competition. It smells of the rot and decay only a freshly unearthed corpse could cause. Lucky for them, death is right up their alley.

About C.A. King

I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.

Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.

To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger. 

People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years. 

I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different.

I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes—I want them to know they are making a difference. 

Fast forward to today…

Notebook Mysteries ~ Haunted Christmas by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Angela Hayes

Notebook Mysteries Haunted ChristmasNotebook Mysteries Haunted Christmas by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Notebook Mysteries Haunted Christmas is the latest instalment in the Notebook Mysteries series by Kimberly Mullins. A fun holiday historical cozy mystery, with a Christmas backdrop, and plenty of interesting developments, danger, drama, friendship, clue gathering, crime & investigation, action, adventure, suspense, and some ghostly goings-on.
This can be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing anything from the rest of the series… But having said that, I highly recommend reading the previous book/s before starting on this one, as knowing what happened in those books will definitely give you a better appreciation of everything.
With Christmas fast approaching, Emma is caught up in all the fun and preparations for the holidays. But crime doesn’t take time off- and Emma is soon thrust into another mystery that will test her investigative skills.
A fun read!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Kimberly Mullins!

This was a fun quick read continuing the mysteries that Emma enjoys solving. Who doesn’t love a Christmas haunted house and the looming who done it. This mystery focused primarily on the one mystery that Ethan, Emma’s coworker at the law firm, brought to her. Was his dad murdered by a ghost, did he really commit, or was there something more sinister. Although this was just a shirt book, it continued to show Emma’s growth as she encounters her own demons.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kimberly does it again with Christmas and hauntings in her Notebook Mysteries YA, historical saga. Even though there is murder it is a fun Christmas tale bringing Emma and her band of super sleuths together once again. Make sure you read the books in order as they follow on from each other.

Haunted Christmas is a short novella but imagine all the trimmings of Christmas set in the 1880’s in Chicago.

Evan has asked Emma for help. He doesn’t believe the ruling the police have handed down. As they embark on this new adventure and come across danger, they finally reveal the real truth and lies.

Notebook Mysteries is a for those who love a good mystery.

Christmas time does not stop ghosts nor death. Emma decides to look into a death that has been ruled a suicide by the police. Emma’s own life may be in danger as more bodies begin to stack up. This fast paced novella was a great addition to the Notebook Mysteries series.

Notebook Mysteries Haunted Christmas is a short novella part of the Notebook Mysteries series. If you need a bit of Christmas mood but want a good mystery, this is the novella for you. Emma is back at it trying to help Evan answer questions about his father’s death and a bit of a haunting.
I have read several books in this series (not necessarily in order) and have enjoyed the characters and the stories. The snowy weather and historical references to A Christmas Carol are set in Chicago. Everything combined creates a fun read. I enjoyed this story and look forward to more in this series.

Whew, this is Dex’s version of the paranormal mystery series of the Vigilants. This is one series that you want to read in order. Dex is in it deep in this one. With the help of some new and some old friends, he ends up on an adventure to find answers. Mystery, drama, and the paranormal make for one of the best YA paranormal series you’ll find out there. I picture it as a contemporary take on the battle for good and evil. Even as an adult, I eagerly wait for each new book this author puts out. Her writing is fresh, new and relevant. The characters all have personalities that are relatable. The athletes, though paranormal, sound like some of the jocks I knew in high school. Go ahead, you know you want to read this one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am a big fan of the heroine of this story, Emma, the intrepid young detective, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the previous books in this YA cozy mystery series. I was looking forward to this story which has a festive feel, as it’s set at Christmas time, and the storyline has more than one Charles Dickens reference in it. Emma is looking forward to the Christmas parties with her friends and family, the baking has been done and she’s about to decorate the tree, when a simple delivery reveals a deadly stranger. Emma’s Christmas plans change dramatically as she has another adventure to go on and a mystery to solve, using all her skills. However, when a friend of Emma’s asks for her help in investigating a reported haunted mansion, things become more complicated, and slightly spooky. Rattling chains, secret doors and possible spirits, all add to the Dickens feel to this fairly short but action packed story. Once again I was hooked by Emma’s adventures, and I felt fully immersed in the storyline, as though I was there alongside her as she investigated her latest mystery. I look forward to catching up with Emma and her friends again soon.

This was a really good story! It was fast paced and quick, and I enjoyed this as it was a very quick read. Enough mystery and suspense to hold you, while also being slightly light hearted because of the Christmas theme of the book. I enjoyed the aspect of A Christmas Carol that was used throughout, and I will admit that the end was fairly shocking and I was wrong about the suspects. I would also love to use the recipes that were included at the end of the book sometime!

Each book added to this series just strengthens it overall. I love the writing style and I find it so easy to engage with the characters time and again. This is a great book that is worth the read.

This is a short story based around the rest of the Notebook Mysteries series. I loved this Christmas theme in this book and it gives the story a completely different feel to the stories, while keeping the characters that we know and love.
The authors way of describing the scenes and telling the story is so good that you actually feel like you are there witnessing things first hand. It is a story that is full of twists and turns that will keep the reader guess and as with the other stories you can’t figure out the story until the author is ready to reveal it to you.

I loved the mixture of the excitement of the Christmas season, the planning of family parties and arrangements as well as the danger than lurks with the meeting of a stranger and a new mystery of a haunted house to solve and unravel. Emma is yet again on the case, doing what she doesn’t best in her own unique way.

I have loved following Emma and her adventures for quite some time now. I personally loved this one. The change of weather in the book was very real and descriptive, plus holidays. And a mystery, How could I not love this latest mystery at hand for our dear Emma to solve?

As usual the author creates a mystery that is fun to solve, as well as, danger lurking around the corner the deeper you go. Emma was her usual self, but this time with holiday spirit at hand as well! I was wrong with the mystery, I thought I had t=it, nope was a bit off! This was a short adventure for our sleuth, but the story was full of intrigue, and clues that led to the conclusion! Loved the talk of Christmas decorations and cookies as well! I swear I could smell things baking in the oven! The author is very creative and quite good at weaving a tale of a mystery and strong development of characters in each book! Loved this one!

Never will tire of this wonderful author and Emma’s mysteries! I can never get enough of this series, its a wonderful collection! I highly recommend this book as well as the whole series! Must read all around!

I enjoyed reading this mystery story. This is not my first book by this author but this series keeps getting better and better with each book in this series. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help your enjoyment of the characters. Emma is back in another hard to put down mystery during the holidays. Emma is asked to help with an investigation regarding a haunted mansion. Will the holidays ever be the same? I enjoyed how well written this story is. The characters made the story realistic and I had no problems connecting with them. This is a fast paced story that has some twists and turns as well as suspense. There is great growth throughout the story. A really great story that I highly recommend. I can’t wait to see what is next for Emma.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Grave Digger Academy by C. A. King is book one in the Grave Digger Academy series. Though I’m not much into paranormal books, this was the perfect intro book for anyone. It was light and fun to read, quick and easy to follow. Makayla is going into her first year at a paranormal school. There is a lot of pressure since she is the seventh child and only girl. Makayla however ends up at the lowest of the low schools and it surprises everyone. Although it was not a choice of hers, it seems the school chose her, leading into a family secret that not even her father knew about. Gravediggers dig the graves, but grave diggers keep the bodies there. I’ll be interested to see how Makayla uses her abilities moving forward. The story is full of surprises, twists and interesting character development. I really enjoyed it from the beginning and look forward to the rest of the series!

Ashes Audiobook (Modern-Day Fairy Tale Book 1) by MK Harkins – Review by Bobbi Wagner

 I enjoyed listening to this audible book.  This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up and I was excited to pick up one of her audible books.  This is a great fairytale story where the narrator brought the story to life using different tones of voice.  I also enjoyed how they were able to keep me engaged.  It had me coming back for more.  This is a great story that will make you question fairytale magic.  Does it have a place in life or is it just that a fairytale?  The characters have great chemistry and are supportive of each other throughout. I highly recommend this audible, I can’t wait for the next one.

Emma is well-known for her sleuthing skills and Evan is in need. His father died recently, under a cloud of suspicion. The police closed the case saying it was a self-inflicted incident but Evan knows better. He asks Emma and her team to figure out the haunting that is taking place at his dad’s place.

This is a super short novella that reads pretty quickly! It has me in the Christmas spirit (no pun intended!)!!

I highly recommend this entire series. I read them out of order but I am now caught up for future adventures with Emma!

This book is redolent with references to A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The story has a mystery, entwined around family drama, and probate issues. There is also romance in the air, and an unusual family that works well together. The main character fights against the sexism and classism that she faces. All in all, an excellent installment to the series and a wonderful stand-alone read!

This action packed YA fantasy is book two in the series and it is by far the best one yet. This book is once again told from Dex’s point of view so if you haven’t read book one or book 1.5 then I would recommend reading those two first. But this book really is the best of the series it’s full of action, tension, betrayal, magic and so much more that it will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. So if you want a good new series to read make sure you run out and pick this one up today.

Emma (Notebook Mysteries, #1)Emma by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great series!! I have read these books out of order but have thoroughly enjoyed reading about Emma and her family.

Emma is a pretty determined 16-year-old young lady. After the death of her mother, she takes over working at the bakery. She is the only other person who knows her mother’s secret recipes. She feels like she is being followed or watched everyday as she goes to work and this intrigues her. Emma keeps a notebook full of observations that she makes so she adds this one to her list.

Working at the bakery isn’t fulfilling Emma’s needs for adventure so she starts moonlighting as a delivery boy with Tim. It’s very frowned upon during that day and time! She sees so many things that she spends quite a bit of time each evening writing down observations in her notebook. It’s then that she realizes that she may have just solved a crime and gets her foot in the door at Pinkerton’s.

This is a very enjoyable book! It’s full of mystery and intrigue, along with a small amount of romance. I recommend this entire series!!

Grave Digger AcademyGrave Digger Academy by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Starting this book, I was having a hard time following along, I re-read the first couple pages at least 3 times, so I decided to just push through and hope that it was not going to be important for further reading. I should have just kept reading from the start and not went back at all because everything would start making sense soon enough.
I appreciate the magical world that C.A King created. Instead of one magical school C.A.King created several so students can hone in and focus on their individual talents.
Grave Digger Academy was a fun easy read, could easily read in one sitting. I really appreciated that it was a paranormal read that didn’t focus on a love triangle, there were no distractions with romantic relationships at all for this book.
4 out of 5 stars and the only reason I am giving it a 4 and not a 5, I wanted more! I would have gladly read 500 pages in book one. I am excited to see how the story continues with the books that follow.
