When technology fulfills every dream, reality is a nightmare. But where can one rebel hide when even her thoughts might not be her own?

Below the streets of New State, the Grounders fight to remain free of the technological control of the world above. When dusk falls, Wren risks her life by entering the capital city as a raider to secure resources for the rebellion. Each step further inside puts her life in jeopardy from New State’s deadliest weapons – Phantoms. More machine than human, tortured until devoid of emotion and caring, Phantoms have only one objective. Kill. And they do it with exacting precision.

Wren is good at her job as a raider and committed to the cause until she meets Codex, a New State citizen who doesn’t quite fit her preconceived expectations. After a couple of awkward encounters, he shows her the meaning of hooking up—a computer simulation that allows people to live out their fantasies—without the complication of emotional entanglements or physical reality. But what Wren feels for Codex is very real. And it’s punishable by death.

As she and Codex grow closer, Wren convinces him to leave New State for the underground. But unrest between New State and the Grounders escalates, and Phantoms move in to destroy her world. Nothing goes as Wren planned. Families are arrested, loyalties are strained, and Wren’s forced to choose between her people and her feelings. The wrong choice could mean the end of her people, and reality could slip away—forever…

Magic. Sailing. A murderer among heroes.

Gravedigger Volke Savan wants nothing more than to be like his hero, the legendary magical swashbuckler, Gregory Ruma. First he needs to become an arcanist, someone capable of wielding magic, which requires bonding with a mythical creature. And he’ll take anything—a pegasus, a griffin, a ravenous hydra—maybe even a leviathan, like Ruma.

So when Volke stumbles across a knightmare, a creature made of shadow and terror, he has no reservations. But the knightmare knows a terrible secret: Ruma is a murderer out to spread corrupted magic throughout their island nation. He’s already killed a population of phoenixes and he intends to kill even more.

In order to protect his home, his adopted sister, and the girl he admires from afar, Volke will need to confront his hero, the Master Arcanist Gregory Ruma.

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.

I was so wonderful to get back to the Sanctuary. I forgot how much I loved these wolves. I may have to go back and do a reread.

Sadie was raised by shifter parents, but now finds herself on the run trying to protect her sister, Lilly. Sadie is determined to find a safe place for Lily in the shifter world. She is in search of the Sanctuary where rumor has it is a safe place for shifters. When Lily and Sadie’s past collide with what they are searching for their lives are about the change.

Kile works at the Wolf Sanctuary when he sees a beauty in trouble, he steps in to protect her and her sister. Kile knows Sadie is his but he has to convince her to stay at the sanctuary so he can protect her and her sister.  Sadie is determined to leave so no more harm comes to her sister or the Wolf Sanctuary.

I enjoyed seeing Kile and Sadie get to know each other. I loved seeing the Wolf Sanctuary growing and being reunited with the characters. Sadie does have issues believing she can live in the shifter world being a human. The way everyone, well ok everyone except for the unmated females, gravitate toward Sadie and Lily especially their cooking. Larry, one of the workers, had me in stiches I mean really. I really hope we get Lily’s story. There is so much more I want to learn about her and possibly Alex.

Review by Brandy

I received this book for an honest review.

I will admit that I don’t read many mystery novels. The ones I do read though, usually end up

being interesting and this one is no exception. What’s more interesting than a bunch of

strangers shoved together for a destination wedding that has a giant bridezilla? Ones that have

skeletons and secrets in their closets that they are trying to hide when the best man gets

murdered.

Poor Lexi is the maid of honor for her best friend Olivia’s wedding. Olivia is taking bridezilla to

the next level with her destination wedding weeklong schedule. Lexi is trying desperately to

keep everything from becoming a disaster when Olivia decides that nobody needs to know that

the best man has been murdered, and that the wedding must go on. When Olivia’s sister shows

up with a plan to ruin the wedding that includes an ex that broke her sister’s heart, Lexi’s

problems hit nuclear level. Between love, lies, murder and lots of secrets Lexi learns a lot about

herself and her best friend.

There are some really interesting characters in this book that have some surprises up their

sleeve. The world building is pretty good, and I felt like I could feel the ocean breeze and picture

the small coastal town so clearly. I mostly gave this book five stars because I was drawn into the

story not just because of the murder mystery but because of Lexi’s struggles to come to terms

with truths about herself, her best friend, and what she really wanted in her life.

Carla was born in Leicestershire in 1970, to parents Barrie and Pamela Day. She moved from place to place, not really settling anywhere for any length of time but collecting life stories along the way, which she would one day pen, on a weather-beaten log in Wales, with her dog by her side.

Carla’s first novel, One Leg Out, is a tragicomic memoir with Gator House Publishers. It highlights her comedy struggles with the menopause. Her short story, a thriller called Scintillation is to be included in the anthology ‘Burning,’ with Burning Chair Publishers, was released in October 2018.

When the Whistler Calls, a psychological thriller, was released in 2018 by Gator House Publishing, however was re released by the author with a third edition in 2022, in both ebook and paperback formats.

He’s a quiet drummer who avoids relationships.
She’s an outspoken tattoo artist who only wants to have a little fun.

Claire has been commissioned to design a logo for Adrian’s band Intent to Murder, but she’s had her eye on the sexy drummer for a while now. The guy is hotter than Death Valley and unlike any of the a-holes she’s dated in the past.

Not that it matters…because Claire doesn’t plan on nurturing a relationship. She just wants to get this cutie out of her system.

Good luck with that. Adrian’s not willing to pursue any sort of relationship, just for fun or not. But the chemistry between them can only be ignored for so long…

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This is the third book in the Rocky Mountain Rockstars series.  I could not wait to read about the quite drummer, Adrian, and the amazing tattoo artist, Claire.

Intent to Murder ask Claire to design a logo for the band. Claire and Adrian see sparks fly but both hold back. Adrian doesn’t date due to things that happened in his past. Claire has issues with trust due to her past and parents. I loved when these two are together but when they let their paranoia get in the way things go astray.

I liked that not only did we get to see Claire and Adrian navigate their friendship to more than that relationship but we get to see the other band members. I enjoyed that we get to see more of the inside workings of the band like their thought process for the possible tours and merchandising.  This was more than a love story but also a journey through an entire bands livelihood. I cannot wait for more of this series. I love the band members and the ones they fall in love with.

No matter how much you try, you can’t outrun the past.

Opening old wounds is the last thing Ignacio Lupita wants to do. He’d literally and figuratively shed his blood, sweat, and tears to pull himself out of the darkness and open an auto shop in Boston. At last, business is picking up, so he’s working with a local pack to keep his life moving forward.

Pepper Michaels is living her best life in Vermont. One of her best friends has returned after three years in captivity, she’s working on her teaching degree, substitute teaching, and life on Malite land has been carefree to say the least. She thought she couldn’t be happier, but then she spotted him, her mate.

When the past is thrust before Ignacio, Pepper witnesses a side of him she can’t ignore. She knows she only gets one chance at a mate, but she hadn’t expected she’d need to be so careful around hers. Meanwhile, someone or something has been lurking on pack grounds. Can Ignacio confront enough of his demons before everything closes in?

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

I love this series and was so excited to get this one in my hands.  Each book draws me in more and more to the pack.  This story is all about Ignacio and Pepper and what a story it is.

Ignacio has lived his life alone and family always leaving.  His sisters ran away and his parents left him. He was left to those that should have protected him but didn’t. Ignacio had to fight his way to where he was and was able to make things work for him.  He was even branching out and working with a pack. While visiting one day he thought he found his mate, Carrie. But soon figured out he was wrong about her being his mate.

Things were going good for Pepper. She had her best friends Carrie and Kim, going to school and had a job substitute teaching. When her mating mark made its appearance, she realized it was the guy Carrie was on a date with and she would not get in Carrie’s way of happiness. The mate pull was too strong and Pepper realized Carrie was not interested in Ignacio oh man did the sparks start to fly for Pepper and Ignacio.

Things were going well for these two in the matting department but they really didn’t know anything about each other and their pasts.  Ignacio’s finds his past staring him in the face and reacts a way that scares Pepper so much so she is not sure about the mate that was fated to her.  Will Ignacio be able to explain his past and everything that lead up to his reaction or will Pepper be lost to him forever.

This series has me hooked and I cannot wait to see this pack grow.  There is not one matted pair I have not liked.  I enjoyed all their stories and seeing them come together when things go astray.  This story had me flipping the pages like crazy.  I could not put this one down.

It takes a monster to stop a monster.

Light the candle.
Stand naked before the symbol.
Offer your blood.

The advocate will come.

I left my abusive crime boss husband expecting to start over from nothing. After all, the prenup I signed when I married him is ironclad. But when Tony uses a loophole in the law to go after my ancestral family home—the one I’m currently living in and my grandmother is dying in—I’m desperate to stop him.

My witch best friend Maeve offers a solution. She lends me a family spell to call a supernatural advocate to deal with Tony. After all, it takes a monster to stop a monster.

But when I follow her instructions, I’m not expecting the darkly handsome Damien to form from the shadows, or to learn that he’s been a prisoner of Maeve’s family for centuries. From the moment he accepts my bargain and drinks my blood, he awakens a passion in me, one charged with latent magic. Magic formidable enough to restore my true self. Magic that holds the promise of Damien’s freedom.

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

This is the first book I have read of Genevieve Jack.  I was not disappointed and I’m so ready for the next book.  This is a cliffhanger and I believe is book one of four.  This book takes us on a wild ride.

Eloise soon to be ex-husband, Tony, is making it so she has nothing.  He is even trying to take her family home from her.  Her best friend and Attorney, Maeve, has another way for Eloise to keep her family home.  Maeve gives her a family candle where Eloise summons a shade, Damien, to make a bargain to help her. Eloise has no idea what she was getting herself into.  Damien was sexy and there was something about him that caught Eloise’s attention (and mine to be honest). There was so much chemistry between these two it had my heart racing.

Damien is a shade and has been tied to Maeve’s family for centuries by the candle. Anytime he is summoned he has to come and has to do Maeve’s family biding.  When Maeve lends the candle to her BFF Eloise to help he. Eloise summons Damien to make a deal and allows him to drink her blood.

I love Eloise she seems like a weak female but she really surprises me throughout the book.  She makes a deal with Damien but then realizes what he is going to do and has a change of heart.  Eloise just cannot live with herself if Tony dies because of her choices.  So now Damien and Eloise make a new deal.

I fell hard for Damien even though we are told he is a monster there is more to him than what Maeve and her family has seen.  He has such a big heart and you see it when he is with Eloise.  You can tell the frustration he has with her but he always treats her like a princess. Now that Eloise is away from Tony her personality starts to show though. I enjoyed seeing Eloise open up and become the woman she was always meant to be. Eloise falls for Damien no matter how many warnings Maeve gives her. She is not afraid of Damien and knows there is more to him than the monster she is told he is.

I enjoyed learning of Damiens world and seeing the love between Eloise and Damien evolve.  There are so many twists and turns in this book it kept me flipping those pages.  Like I said before I am so ready for book two, I need more of Eloise and Damien.  I cannot wait to see where the next book will take us. I want to learn more about Damien and Eloise future and their families past.
