Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

With the description I was a little surprised that nature wasn’t the immediate problem that the girls
face. Instead it is bad people, and they must decide who they can trust. Then mother nature ups the
ante making a bad situation even worse.
The sisters are stranded alone, and after their food starts to run low, they start to come out of hiding. At
first nothing seems so bad, but then little truths about some people around them start to come out.
When Mother Nature gets in on the game things really start to get bad. With people in survival mode,
strangers become even more dangerous.
While not what I expected it is a good book about two sisters trying to take care of each other. There is
no explicit content, but there is a bit of violence and death as tragedy strikes.

A. E. Faulkner was born and raised in Pennsylvania. When she’s not lost in a book, she loves spending time with her husband and two sons, especially while hiking, biking, or exploring nature. She loves almost everything about nature—ticks excluded, and one of her biggest fears is the repercussions we will face when nature can no longer tolerate human destruction. As such, she never tires of reading dystopian-themed tales. Stories about the end of the world absolutely fascinate her.

#Twinsieoftheday – Super Humans (The New Super Humans #1) by T.M. Franklin

Leave a comment

A mysterious chest.

A terrifying vision.

Are their newfound powers enough to take down an unspeakable evil?

Chloe Blake’s campus rental has it all: a retro Victorian vibe, a beautiful picture window, and a perfect view of Ethan Reynolds—the guy who broke her heart and lives across the street. But when she sees disturbing visions of death slide across the panes, she’s convinced she’s glimpsed into Ethan’s future. She’ll stop at nothing to change fate and save him… even if it means everyone will think she’s crazy.

Wren Galloway has lost track of all the crummy cities she’s lived in. Plagued by nightmares, Wren wakes in a cold sweat with the vision of a nearby Victorian house still in her mind… and a strong urge to seek out the powerful talisman calling to her from its attic.

Drawn together by an ancient force, Chloe and Wren must work together to discover the house’s secrets and unlock their hidden powers to take down the shadowy specter that haunts their premonitions and leaves death in its wake.

Super Humans is the first book in The New Super Humans, an edge-of-your-seat contemporary fantasy series. If you like original magic systems, startling suspense, and fast-paced action, then you’ll love TM Franklin’s riveting thrill ride.

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

From the description this book was not what I expected. This is not a bad thing, just different. I think
maybe I was expecting a bit more action. This is the first book by this author that I’ve read, so I’m not
familiar with the series that this was expanded from, so that may make a difference.
The story is about a girl and her best friend who are about to start their second year of college and decide
to live off campus. They rent rooms in an older house, and there is an old picture window that starts to
show Chloe things. These visons are of past, current, and future events leaving Chloe confused and
trying to figure out what to do. When she starts seeing visions of a horrible accident, she decides she
must do whatever it takes to stop it.
This book is very interesting, but it is a book that sets up a series. It gives you background stories, and
lets you know how the characters get to where they need to be for the main event. Wren doesn’t get
introduced until towards the end of the book, so we don’t know much about her power. There are also
hints that there are more characters to be added to the group. I am very interested in where this story
goes as this book did draw me in.

#Twinsieoftheday – Dread Pirate Arcanist (Frith Chronicles #2) by Shami Stovall

Leave a comment

Pirates. Griffins. A lost treasure worth killing for.

While protecting the newborn griffins on the Isle of Landin, Volke Savan and his adopted sister, Illia, run afoul of the Dread Pirate Calisto, the same cutthroat who carved out Illia’s right eye. As a master manticore arcanist, Calisto’s strength and brutality are unrivaled, so when Illia suggests they bring him to justice, Volke wonders if they’ll have what it takes to fight the corsairs on the high seas.

A fast-paced fantasy with magical creatures for those who enjoy the Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera series) by Jim Butcher, Unsouled (Cradle Series) by Will Wight, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan.

Praise for the Frith Chronicles!

“Perfect for those who enjoy the Codex Alera series, the Homas Wildus series, and the Harry Potter series. Stovall is quickly becoming a name I look for.”

– Seattle Book Review

“An addictive series. Shami Stovall has produced a mesmerizing story of magic, intrigue, and true adventure.”

– ManyBooks

“Absolutely brilliant.”

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

This is such a good sequel! I recommend reading book one as this one picks up shortly after the first and
it doesn’t really go over anything from the previous book. This book has it all. Pirates, magic, magical
creatures, secrets and revenge.
Volke and the other apprentice arcanists are sent with their master to protect Griffins during a bonding
ceremony. Arcanists are people who have bonded with a magical creature, similar to having a familiar as
a witch or wizard in other books but a bit more complicated. While on their mission the island they are
on is infiltrated by pirates. Their leader is the one who took Volke’s sister’s eye and this sends her on a
personal mission of revenge. Nothing goes as planned and it’s a race to see if they can beat the pirates
to what they really want.
The world building is excellent and layered on to what was started in book one. You really start to get a
feel for the global interaction of people and cultures in Volke’s world. Character growth is also really
good not only for the main character and his sister but for the other’s in their apprentice group. I would
recommend this for teens. There is no adult content but some violence as these pirates are not messing
around.

Shami Stovall is a multi-award-winning author of fantasy and science fiction. Before that, she taught history and criminal law at the college level and loved every second. When she’s not reading fascinating articles and books about ancient China or the Byzantine Empire, Stovall can be found playing way too many video games, especially RPGs and tactics simulators. She loves John, reading, and writing about herself in the third person.

#Twinsieoftheday – Winter Frost (Chris Matheson Cold Case #2) by Lauren Carr

Leave a comment

It all started with a chance encounter in the city with Blair, his late wife.

Chris Matheson and the Geezer Squad, working under the guise of a book club, dig into the events surrounding his late wife’s supposed death halfway around the globe. A state department employee shoots himself in the back three times. A CIA operative goes missing. A woman is targeted by an international assassin three years after being declared dead in a terrorist attack overseas.

Nothing is as it seems.

In his most personal cold case, Chris fights to uncover why the state department told him that Blair, the mother of his children, had been killed when she was alive. What had she uncovered that has made her a target? Who terrified her so much that she had gone into hiding and why are they now after him?

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

This book has lots of action. It starts with a bang and keeps going. Chris’s dead wife is back, but not for
long as she is the target of an assassin because she found out some nasty secrets. It’s up to Chris to try
to figure out what happened and why Blair hid for so long. Blair was good at hiding, and even her best
friend didn’t know what was going on. Some things you think you have all put together, but then comes
a subtle little twist that puts a whole different perspective on things.
The narrator is awesome. There are several characters, and the he is great at giving them individuality
and keeping it from being confusing when switching characters. I also enjoyed the unusual pets and
situations with the pets when Chris’s mom gets involved. Did not see some of that coming. Loved the
character of Chris’s mom. She’s a hoot.
In all a good mystery that will keep you wondering if you have it exactly right or if you missed
something. There is a bit of violence and no adult content.

#Twinsieoftheday – Crimes Past (Mac Faraday Mystery #13) by Lauren Carr

Leave a comment

It’s a bittersweet reunion for Mac Faraday when members of his former homicide squad arrive at the Spencer Inn. While it is sweet to attend the wedding of a late colleague’s daughter, it is a bitter reminder that the mother of the bride had been the victim of a double homicide. The brutal slaying weighing heavy on his mind, Mac is anxious to explore every avenue for a break in the cold case—even a suggestion from disgraced former detective Louis Gannon that one of their former friends is the killer. When the investigator is brutally slain, Mac Faraday rips open the cold case with a ruthless determination to reveal which of his friends is a cold-blooded murderer.

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

This story is interesting for sure. I listened to this on audio and the narrator is excellent. There is the
main story about the two cops that are killed on their wedding day, and then there is a second murder
that gets stumbled upon. There is a lot of players in this story as the cops are killed on their wedding day
and the reception is packed with cops. Cops with secrets. You do need to pay a bit of attention to keep
track of all the players and all the lies that start to come out. Justice is a long time coming and boy is it a
twisted path. There are plenty of lies that partners will tell to protect each other and their personal lives.
The second case involves a nasty neighbor that has it out for dogs and a bad history. I will admit I got a
chuckle when the two cases briefly crossed paths. The dogs are a hoot and help blow the case wide
open.
There are some hints of naughty but no explicit details. In all its a twisted tale that will keep you
guessing even after confessions have been uttered. My only real complaint was trying to keep track of
everything and everybody.

#Twinsieoftheday – Astraeus (The Oceanstone Initiative Book 1) by Haley Havanagh

Leave a comment

Astraeus (The Oceanstone Initiative Book 1)

One pre-apocalyptic Earth. One desperate space mission to find a solution. One unexpected alien.

When Dr. Sakota Thorell signed onto the mission to scout out a new, habitable planet, she knew discovering extraterrestrial life was always a possibility. But she never expected to find an alien adrift in space, nor for that alien to be so intriguing. Sakota feels an instant and undeniable attraction to Astraeus, but he represents a million possibilities, and just as many threats.

There are others hunting Astraeus, and his rescue may cost Earth its last hope.

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

This is an interesting one. A science ship is in space looking for a new planet as earth is dying. First
contact with an intelligent alien species starts by finding him floating in space still alive. The medical
doctor wants to study him, the head of security wants to use his own methods to get answers. Astraeus
has a few tricks up his sleeve though, and nothing is exactly what it seems.
The doctor manages to get her way, but just barely.
Sakota
must find a way to get answers and quickly.
As she learns more about the alien, she gets more and more drawn to his story. Of course, nothing is
straight forward as Astraeus doesn’t know who to trust, and there is danger in the depths of space, and
it is coming.
There is a bit of romance, but not a lot and no adult content. The ending is a bit edge of your seat as you
wait to see who will survive, who will make a valiant last stand, and who gets taken out. There is some
violence towards the end.

#Twinsieoftheday – The Gathering Dark (Quest of Fire Book 1) by Brett Armstrong

Leave a comment

Jason is an expert at running from his past. But when it catches up, he finds himself hiding in a peculiar inn listening to a tale from centuries past.

The story is Anargen’s, a teen who is pulled from all he loves to follow his oaths of loyalty to the fabled King of the Realms. Together with his mentor, Cinaed, he rides north on a special quest to mediate peace talks between ancient foes—the men of Ecthelowall and the dwarfs of Ordumair. Nothing goes as planned. Many on both sides of the dispute despise Anargen’s Order. Worse, an arcane evil has returned to the North. This “Grey Scourge” seeks to ruin the peace talks and ensure a lost treasure held by the dwarfs is never found by those for whom it is meant.

As Anargen’s story unfolds, Jason begins to wonder whether it is truly just a fable. He soon finds himself drawn into the conflict Anargen faced. A battle which has shaped and can destroy his world.

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

This story is good, it just didn’t have me gripping the edge of my seat. The world building is excellent,
and things were really brought to life for me. There are histories, cultures, myths, and old grudges. If you
are the type that need a good hook at the very beginning, you may have trouble getting into this one at
first.
Jason is trying to get out of a rainstorm when he takes shelter at an inn and gets drawn into a story
about Anargen. Anargen is a young man who has just become a knight with 3 of his friends when they
are forced to leave suddenly for a quest that they know little about. The lack of details leads to a lack of
trust. This lack of trust causes some very unfortunate events. When monsters from children’s stories
become reality, they must find a way to survive. Past and present collide in a way that by the end I was
interested in seeing what happens to Jason as he learns that some stories are built on truth no matter
how fantastical it sounds.
There is lots of violence. These boys are fighting for their lives, and the story reflects that. There is no
adult content, and really very little of a romantic interest. These boys are in too much trouble for that!
The story does have some references to sword fighting positions and specific pieces of armor. Not
enough to distract, but I do need to look a couple of words up.

From an early age, Brett Armstrong had a love for literature and history. At age nine, he combined the two for his first time in a short story set in the last days of the Aztec Empire. After that, writing’s role in his life waxed and waned periodically, always a dream on the horizon, till he reached college. At West Virginia University, he entered the Computer Engineering program and spent two years pursuing that degree before an opportunity to take a creative writing class, for fun, came along. It was so enjoyable, he took another and in that course he discovered two things. The first was the plot for a short story called Destitutio Quod Remissio, which the others students really seemed to love. The second, he realized he absolutely loved writing. For him, it was like the proverbial light bulb coming on. In the years since, describing that epiphany has been difficult for him, but he found the words of 1924 Olympian Eric Liddell are the most eloquent expression for it: “God made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure.” God gave Brett a passion for writing, and so feels His pleasure when writing.

After a few years passed, Brett got his Computer Engineering degree, but also completed a minor in each of his real passions: history and creative writing. In 2013, he began graduate school to earn an MA in Creative Writing. During that time he completed the novelization of Destitutio Quod Remissio and entered the 2013-2014 CrossBooks Writing Contest, which won the contest’s grand prize. As of March 2015, Brett completed his MA and is presently employed in the West Virginia Division of Infectious Disease Epidemiology as a programmer analyst.

Brett lives in Saint Albans, West Virginia, with his beautiful wife, Shelly. In the summer the pair gardens together, and each day Brett continues writing his next novel.

#Review – Her Shifter Wolf Runaway (The Clan of Hogan Falls) by: Serena Meadows

Leave a comment


I’d lived my entire life with a secret that kept trying to burst out of me…
My clan wanted my friends and I dead when we were babies.

I’d begun questioning my very existence… but Marshall appeared out of nowhere and changed my reality.

He was mysterious, a man with secrets of his own.
Marshall was running away from something… or someone.
And I wanted to chase him away from our small town.
His new restaurant could become my competition and put me out of business.

But I also couldn’t deny how alive I felt around him.
Marshall awakened the wolf shifter in me.
His touch reminded me of my life purpose, and he truly was my fated mate.

So when I shifted to save his life, the shock in his eyes broke my heart.
Could Marshall accept me for who I was… or was he another piece of my life that I would have to forget and keep a secret forever?

Each book in this sexy-as-sin series can each be read as standalones, and has no cliffhangers, but are best read in order.

Goodreads

Amazon

Review by Twinsie Melinda

This is the second book in a box set I picked up simply because I was in the mood for a shifter book.

This was another quick read and was just as enjoyable as the first book. This book was about Yvette, who does all the cooking for the Inn.

Marshall is running from his father and comes to Hogan Falls. Marshall is planning on staying at the B&B until he can his restaurant up and running. When Yvette asks him to help serve waffles to the ladies at a luncheon at the B&B he is all for it. Yvette thinks she may have made a mistake by having him help once she realizes he is planning on opening a new restaurant in the town. She really starts to rethink him being around when the magic starts surfacing and she realizes he is her mate.

Marshall and Yvette are great for each other. I enjoyed seeing them work together in the kitchen and even try to pull away from each other only to be drawn back together. I have to say I enjoyed this story line and seeing how Marshall’s life leads him to Yvette and finding out a connection the two had and didn’t even know it.  Yvette finding a family member had tears in my eyes and warmed my heart. Both Marshall and Yvette had such hard lives and now they have each other and both are better off now. I am so enjoying this series and cannot wait to see what is in store for the other ladies of the B&B.

Serena Meadows has always been obsessed with writing short stories since she was in junior high school. She writes paranormal romance stories of all types but writing about sexy steamy alpha shifters is her passion. She lives in Denver with her two dogs. On her downtime (which is rare), she enjoys hiking and camping in the mountains or riding her bike with her own alpha male to keep her safe and warm. Typically she enjoys an evening curled up buried in a good book or watching Netflix. She also enjoys time with good friends.

Serena is excited to share her work with all of you and looking forward to interacting with her fans!

#Review – Give Me a Reason (Redemption Hills Book 1) by: A.L. Jackson – Narrators: Connor Crais and Desiree Ketchum

Leave a comment


From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a single-dad, enemies-to-lovers stand-alone romance about a jaded club owner and his son’s teacher…

Eden Murphy came into my club looking to make some extra cash.
A girl like her didn’t belong in a place like this.
She’d get ripped to shreds.
Most likely by me.
There’s nothing but sweetness dripping from her sexy little body, and I’m the monster who’s salivating to get a taste.

Trent Lawson is the last man I should want.
Dark.
Dangerous.
So wickedly gorgeous he makes my knees weak.
He’s also an arrogant jerk who happens to be my new boss.

When I discover his adorable son is also in my kindergarten class, I know I have to keep my distance.

But neither of us can ignore the attraction that flames.
One glance, and our hearts race.
One touch, and we’re aching for what we can’t have.
One night, and we’re falling fast.

Dragging her into my sordid world is wrong.
It doesn’t matter.
Eden Murphy is mine.

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I purchased this audio book after seeing an ad for it that drew me in.

The narrators were wonderful they kept me right there with the story they were telling. I did not want to push pause on this one at any time. Connor Crais and Desiree Ketchum made a great team telling this story.

Eden Murphy a school teacher and preachers daughter needed extra cash to help save her dad’s school found herself at a cross road and became a server at a bar. She came face to face with the man she could not resist knowing he was not the wholesome man her dad would want her to find but all the same she was drawn to him like no other.

Trent trying to keep his family safe and away from their past only to find the light to his dark. Knowing he needed to stay away from his new employee and his son’s teacher he couldn’t turn away from her. Can he protect Eden and his family from his past or will his past destroy them all.

There were so many characters I loved in this story.  I absolutely love Trent’s little boy Gage. To be honest I think I need to know more about Trent’s brothers too. I thought Trent was going to cold and ruthless but he proved me so wrong he is so sweet, kind and loving to his family and Eden. Eden and Trent endured so much grief and heartache over their lives. To see their story and their pasts unfold as the story was told was heartbreaking. I have to say the plot twist OMG. When things started adding up and clicking in place holly crap never saw it coming. I enjoyed every second of this book.

A.L. Jackson is the New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author of contemporary romance. She writes emotional, sexy, heart-filled stories about boys who usually like to be a little bit bad.

Her bestselling series include THE REGRET SERIES, CLOSER TO YOU, BLEEDING STARS, FIGHT FOR ME, CONFESSIONS OF THE HEART, FALLING STARS, REDEMPTION HILLS, and TIME RIVER novels.Get her latest single mom, neighbors-to-lovers, small town romance HOLD ME UNTIL MORNING, out now!

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

This short story is perfect for the holidays for those who like books with vampires. I was hoping that this
was part of a series so I could find out more but sadly it appears to be an individual novella and that’s
why I gave it four stars. It is a really sweet story about a vampire finding love when he has very little time
left to live. The way he shows his love for the woman that he has spent years looking for is so sweet!
I just couldn’t give it five stars though as I feel like the story is clipped a little too short on details. The
starkness of the story is something I would expect in a novella that is part of a large series that has
reached the point where everyone should know how the world works. I’m hoping that the author
releases more books in this world as the hints that we are given in this book are intriguing.
