Leave a comment

Audiobook now LIVE on the boxed-set.

When Olivia returned home from New York, she had nothing to show for herself. Her photography business was a flop and her love life had gone dry.

In an attempt to get her out of the rut she’s in, her best friends convince her to try out a dating app. She was reluctant at first, but then she got a match.

They meet up and sparks fly, making it the best night of her life. She had no idea that he was a shifter at the time, an alpha at that, nor did he mention the fact that she was his fated mate. She only discovered this after the mating had already begun.

Sweet Baby Jesus this author.  I am in love.  Love I tell ya.  I devoured a different audio set last week and jumped right into this series.  Now this series is different in that people know about shifters whereas the last series, shifters were hidden from everyone.

This is another insta-love series and your girl is here for it!!  Jason and Olivia meet on blind date app.  They meet up at the local bar for drinks.  Jason was a few minutes late and Oliva was about to give up on him when he showed.  His wolf was going crazy to claim his fated mate, but Jason has to take the reigns and calm him down.  Yo Wolfie slow your roll and let the human get to know you!!!  The story was just fun to listen to and yes the plot twist was expected but I still LOVED IT!!!

Olivia and her best friends are all enjoy life and happy she is back in town. Jason and his closest shifter friends left their original pack to start their own.  It just to happens they also need some females to complete the full pack narrative.

Guys for real, I am so excited for this series.  Jason and Olivia were a fun read but LAWD book 2 I am already starting because Micheal and Amelia are going to be off the walls awesome!!!!

Fifteen-year-old Nara Dall has never liked secrets. Yet it seems that her life is filled with them, from the ugly scar on her back to the strange powers she possesses. Her adoptive father refuses to say anything about her origins and when Nara is invited to the town’s announcement ceremony, which tests youths for magical gifts, he forbids her from revealing her powers.

The poor village of Dimmitt has not announced a gifted youth for decades. But when Nara discovers that the town priest has been keeping secrets of his own, she draws upon her hidden magic to correct the injustice. Her rash decision sets her on a path of danger, discovery, and a quest for the divine. But will the truth she reveals set her people free? Or unlock a curse that could spell her doom?

I received this book for an honest review.

They say that your life experiences are what make you who you are, and Nora has to learn a very painful
lesson and her friends along with her. Betrayal is a bitter pill, but sometimes the hardest lessons are the
necessary ones.
The magic in this story is a bit unusual, and Nora is different from anyone else. Nora’s magic is helped by
runes, but runes are not common knowledge, so she has to struggle to learn. She lives in a village with
the poorest of the poor, and only wants to help them. However, her good intentions backfire in a major
way, and the fall out is deadly. A very bad man is willing to do anything to find Nora and use her for his
own dark purposes, and he weaves plots within plots to gain more power.
There is violence, kind of a lot of violence towards the end. Nora’s friend has some special magic of his
own and some people come up with some not nice, creative ways to test him to see what he can do. As
well as a couple of battles. It’s not graphic, but it’s there. There is no adult content, and very little romance
of any kind. It’s a magical world of those who are gifted and have special abilities, and Nora who is
something more. The world building and character development are decent, but really it’s the unique way
the story unfolds that kept my attention.

David A. Willson is a father, husband, pancreatic cancer survivor and a retired Alaska State Trooper. Taught by his mother to love books at a young age, he spent his childhood exploring magic, spaceships, and other dimensions. In his writing, he strives to bring those worlds to his readers.

Much of his material is inspired by the ‘Great Land’ of Alaska, which he has called home for over 40 years. He is passionate about technology, faith, and fiction—not necessarily in that order.

When not writing, he enjoys traveling, woodworking, brewing beer and wine, and playing acoustic guitar.

GAH!!  When book 4 ended I jumped into book 5.  To read book 5 you MUST read book 4 as it is a cliffhanger ending.

Meredith and Josiah have so much to deal with.  Meredith and Eva are captured and being tortured when they are saved by the pack….uhm I mean not pack but friends Cade, Cruz, Aaron, and Josiah.  We see a resolution to the situation of the shifters kidnaper storyline and then we have to find out what will happen with Meredith and Josiah!!

Meredith has big choices to make.  I mean she has a boyfriend who is a dick but she has him OR does she follow the mating call and what her wolf wants.

This book made me super excited and very happy with how it all ended.

A primeval darkness threatens to destroy mankind…

The world’s largest gaming platform in the entire industry is led by a man with many secrets. The popular game DarkForce features the World of Zion which has been plagued by the destructive will of the Leviathan for centuries. What gamers don’t know is that the World of Zion actually exists, and the Leviathan has fed off of the souls of men and his fodder has become scarce. He now turns to Earth with an insatiable hunger. Only a woman from Earth who levels up to discover a divine inner power can challenge Earth’s Apocalyptic Fate.

Review by Brandy

This book is an interesting mix of different things. At first I thought this was going to be a LIT RPG with the
way it starts, but it’s not. It gives you a taste of the virtual game Darkforce then takes off like a rocket with
spies, lies, murder, and mayhem. Darkforce is a video game that the fourth horseman of the apocalypse
has created that has become super popular. I like the way the author took characters and incidents in the
bible and built on them and their story. I’m not a very religious person, but I know enough to understand
what was being referred to. This book has taken figures from the bible but it’s not a religious story. It’s a
story that takes biblical figures and builds on their story and what happened to their descendants.
There is a fifth horseman that was left out of the stories about the end of the world, and he’s about to ruin
the fourth horseman’s plans in a major way. Lily is an undercover agent that has been watching a couple
of different people, but is taken by surprise when the truth about these people start to come out. Lily’s
boss is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his secrets hidden, but her boyfriend becomes tangled up in
everything throwing everything and everyone for a loop. However, Lily has her own secret destiny that
makes her a major player in the end of days.
Technology has become more integrated into people’s lives starting with a chip that is implanted in
people. Only there is a nasty little secret about the way those chips work, and how they will help bring
down mankind. There are a couple of fringe characters that are followed and at first I wondered why, it
seemed more outside the story than necessary, but in the end the experience of these characters
provides a view of things on a larger scale when things start to go way south. There is violence with some
hacking, slashing, and shooting but no explicit adult content.

Most of his friends from High School still don’t even know his first name. Known only as either “Mulder” or “Agent”, there was an unforgettable moment when a girl he was dating expressed her confusion when a friend approached him and called him “Richard”. The ongoing joke was “Hey Mulder, where’s Scully?” Ironically he later married a redhead…

#twinsiefortheday – Narcosis Room by Louise Cypress

Leave a comment

Total Recall meets Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies.

Sleep for three months and make your problems go away.

Ellie Savage is used to promises. Her dermatologist dad and her psychiatrist mom run the Narcosis Clinic, a medical facility famous for ultimate makeovers, where disturbing issues are resolved while patients are beautified. Clients like pop star Dean Mathews are grateful to narcosis for healing their deepest wounds. Ellie is her parents’ most ardent supporter until her dreams become a nightmare. Ellie discovers that her true self has been shredded to bits by the scalpel and the only way for Ellie to remember is to forget everything she thinks she knows.

“The relationship between Cole and Ellie is absorbing (it’s indisputably a mutual affection) while the twins’ dynamic–they’re supportive but playfully combative–is likewise effective. The plot eventually spins into thriller territory but shrewdly incorporates themes of parenting and self-confidence. Cypress’ prose throughout is colorful: a crowd getting into ‘a ginormous frenzy’ and Ellie walking ‘in a fog of convoluted memories and migraine medicine.’ Well-defined characters in a zigzagging medical tale rife with surprises.” –Kirkus

I read a lot, and it’s not often I feel the need to talk back to a book, but this one got me to holler a little and
my teen to look at me like I’m a crazy person lol.
Ellie has memory loss from something that happened to her at boarding school that was so bad her mind
won’t let her remember. She hides the fact that she can’t remember years of her life, and because of this
some kids at school think that she’s a bad person. Poor Ellie, I could tell something wasn’t exactly right,
but the extent of what was going on was a big surprise. How far are people willing to go for perfection? In
themselves? In their children? A long way, and it’s pretty scary sometimes. Ellie pays the price and then
some for her parent’s choices.
The multiple POV are done very well, and they show the different motives that can drive someone to try to
fix what’s wrong with themselves. This is only the second book that I’ve read with more than two POV
that’s flowed well, and is not confusing. This being the better of the two. There is a bit of heavy making
out at one point and some semi-nudity, but no explicit details.

Louise Cypress believes in friendship, true love, and the everlasting power of books. She has never met a vampire, but she has been to a Love Sucks concert on Valentine’s Day. Louise can often be found curled up with a romance novel on Saturday night, diet soda in hand, secretly wishing bustles were back in fashion. Louise lives in San Diego, California, where the beach is crowded and summer is immortal.

Eva is a journalist for Spokane’s newspaper and she was relieved when Spelling was suspended. She’s a shifter and hiding her shifter identity to someone on a witch hunt for their existence was dangerous. However, now he’s the least of her problems because shifter women are coming up murdered everywhere.

I purchased this audio book.

I purchased the entire audio set of books 1-5 when I met the author at a book signing.  I love love love novellas and to know I had 5 was *chef’s kiss*

So Cruz is the bartender who loves to keep secrets.  He also is the guy who seems to enjoy giving everyone crap.  When his alpha….I mean his good friend Cade because we don’t have packs anymore…..asked him to check up on the newspaper guy who is out to out shifters, he meets his mate Eva.

Eva is stunned stupid when the hot as sin man who is also a shifter shows up at her office to find out about the old guy who did her job.  They two have that insta-love that happens when a shifter finds their mate.

This book is quick and fast, but it also ends on a cliffhanger.  The other 3 books were interconnected but this book and book 5 need to be read in order.  To get the best bang for your buck with the story you need to read them all.

Eva and Cruz find each other which also helps book 5 (Josiah the fight announcer and scheduler plus Meredith, Eva’s sister) story line get started.  This book was a sweet…I mean sexy…read when all of a sudden BANG…literally…you are thrown in to book 5 for the resolution of Eva and Cruz and Josiah and Meredith.  When book 4 ended and eagerly started book 5!

I loved the series and am excited to start another set of novellas by this author.

Adult romance
I really enjoyed this book. I’ve already downloaded book two! There’s humor, sass, danger, romance, and
a seriously talented heroine.
Kenzie comes from a powerful witch family but has no powers of her own. So she teams up with her
sister, and becomes the leading edge of tech magic. Girl has got crazy skills, and I’m talking mission
impossible paranormal style, type skills. You know the type that takes a beating and comes out togher for
it? That’s her. She’s taken torture and all, and still came out kicking.
Her family except for her sister and grandmother are horrible to her, but she just takes it all. I love, love
her sassy grandma lol. To get her hands on a potion to give her sister back her powers she ends of
working with three mercenary foxes who claim she is their mate. Trouble is they’re not sure they want a
mate. The job? Take down the guy who cursed her sister, and Kenzie is all in. These foxes are in
trouble 🙂
There is a bit of fighting, intrigue, danger, and some explicit content towards the end.

Cali didn’t realize that starting at the club as a bartender would make her take witness to so much violence. It’s not what she expected when she envisioned herself making drinks for shifters. All she wanted was to be around her kind, but now she’s feeling a little vulnerable.The last thing she expected was to find her mate in a place like this.Aaron is the club’s healer and he’s good at what he does. Finding a mate is the last thing on his mind, but when he sees her, he’s smitten. It doesn’t take long for him to convince her that he can protect her from their world’s craziness.However, when he promised her safety, he didn’t expect Gary Spelling – the notorious reporter out for shifter blood – to be a threat to his mate.

I was suer excited for this book.  Aaron seemed like such a sweet guy so when I knew he was uo next I jumped right in.

Aaron is the healer for the pack…I mean non pack members who fight to keep their wolves in check.  When he is return something to the bar, he sees a sweet ass and the curves that went along with it stunned him stupid. When she turned around and his wolf Screamed MATE, Aaron was a goner.

Cali is starting her first day at the fight club.  Scared outta her mind is an understatement, but she goes and meets Aaron.  The first thing he does is grabs her for a kiss.  Good thing Cruz is there to keep it decent!!!  LOL

I will say this book jumps rights in with sexy time unlike the last 2 but Aaron and Cali are all about “What the Gods want the Gods want.”  They go with it and will figure it out after.

I was so happy with the story and then *Que scary music* the plot twist happened, and I was not so happy.

Seeing Cade jump up for his people but not people but knowing they are forming a pack made my heart soar.

I am so ready for the next book.

Joyce is a therapist. She specializes in trauma and death, and she’s good at her job. With that in mind, she can’t understand why shifters would go to an underground fight club, least of all the mate who doesn’t want her, to beat the crap out of each other. But Avani is her best friend and she drags her there anyway. It’s torture, knowing that her mate doesn’t want her, but she’s determined to get to the bottom of his pain whether he likes it or not. Aside from the rumors spread about him at the club, Kye has a trauma-filled past with a whole lot of secrets. He uses that pain to win every fight, just to feel something. But when his mate starts showing up, he heads down a downward spiral of horrible memories. He knows he can’t have her because he’s just too damaged. In order to protect her from himself, he rejects her.

I purchased this book.

I met this author at a book signing.  When I saw I could get 5 novellas for a few bucks I jumped. I started this book when I was on the long drive home.  The author has several novellas series (all on audio as well).  I just grabbed this set and went.  They are all standalones.  The only issue I had was wondering why wolf packs dispersed.  I am not sure if that is discussed in another book but otherwise, I just rolled with it.  Packs can’t be packs. Got it!

When book 1 ended I was laughing like a crazy person.  Avani and Joyce were cooking up some trouble to get Kye to claim his mate.

Book 2 begins with Joyce dressed up very sexy which is not her at all.  She starts to flirt to get her mates attention and it sure did work.  Kye’s grumpy and claimy self-came and said NO to her flirting but then also ran away with his wolf tail between his leg.

Joyce and Kye have a lot of steamy chemistry and then lots of step backs.  They are literally perfect or each other but Kye is being stubborn.  Good things Joyce is a feisty spitfire who will not give up on her mate.

These 2 were a blast to read.  I loved it so much.  I was excited when book 3 started to play and I saw Aaron gets a book.  The healer is in need of some sexual healing himself!!

Avani is okay with being alone. Even though all shifters are packless and the world looks vastly different now that the humans are suspicious they exist, she’s handling the solitary life quite well. However, she’s thrown a curve ball when she finds out that her mate owns a shifter underground club she frequents. Once he laid eyes on her, he was determined to keep her. But, even though he’s incredibly attractive, enticing, and she wants more than anything to give in to him, she isn’t stupid. Two alphas together would start a pack and that could be disastrous. With her demanding to remain mate-less for the good of their kind, how is he going to convince her to accept him?

This is a steamy curvy girl shifter romance with two strong alpha characters.

Cade is an alpha who finds happiness taking care of the submissive shifters in his fighting ring.  He can’t be the alpha but he gives the packless a place to be.

Avani is a scappy female alpha who is looking to make a big pay day fighting Kye in the underground club.  All is good until she and Cade make eye contact then BOOM.  There is a lot of hell no’s from Avani and Cade uses all his good moves to get her alone with him.

I was loving this book and then we get to see the couple for book 2, Kye and Joyce.  I was thrilled because Joyce was a riot!!!  She is the best best friend anyone would want.

If you love instalove, fated mates, shifters, and all that jazz then this series is a must for you!!
