#Review – Murder and Moonshine: Moonshine Hollow #1 by Kathleen Brooks

Leave a comment


Zoey Mathers had everything going for her until one night she lost her biggest client, her job, and her reputation. Leaving her life up to fate, Zoey closed her eyes and pointed. She would serve out her career exile in the small mountain town of Moonshine Hollow where moonshine flowed as freely as a mountain stream.

Giving up the law to become a baker in Moonshine Hollow turned out to be the best thing Zoey had ever done. She was happy and enjoying life in her new small town. But Zoey should have learned the first time . . . one night can change your whole life.

After unknowingly crashing a battle between witches, Zoey accidentally becomes a witch herself. That’s all before Zoey stumbles over a murder victim and the town’s sheriff becomes involved. Now she’s trying to find a murderer, stop two old witches from playing matchmaker, and learning she’s way more than a mere accidental witch.

And that’s all before fate turns up one more sexy hunk of a twist . . .

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Strip club, sexy bouncer, baked goods, accidental witch, and murder…yup! Pretty much sums it up 😉

Poor Zoey. Her career has been ruined. There is nothing better to do than let fate decide where you end up. She throws the knife at the map and ends up in Moonshine Hollow. Now, this town is a tiny place where everyone knows everyone…and everyone’s business. Zoey wiggles into these peoples’ lives and ends up being a integral part of the community. One crazy night, she ends up in the wrong place at the right time, or maybe it is the right place and the wrong time. You see, it’s all about perception here, lol! She is now a witch. After going through all the stages of denial, she embraces her witchiness pretty well. Now, there are two problems. She has a powerful group after her and all witches to steal their power, and there has been a murder. Oh wait! The bouncer from the club mysteriously comes back into her life! (wags eyebrows) There were many twisty turns with the perfect amount of wit and charm that kept me turning the pages. Even with murder, it is a cute cozy, witty, mystery.

#Review – The Bloodless Assassin: Quirky Steampunk Fantasy (The Viper and the Urchin Book 1) by Celine Jeanjean

Leave a comment

Blackmail an assassin? Who would do such a thing?

Someone pretty desperate, that’s who. Which is exactly the position Rory finds herself in.

As a scrawny, dreadlocked pickpocket who grew up on the street, life hasn’t given her a ton of options. On top of which, her partner in crime has screwed her over for all her money, so she can no longer pay for the sword master who was supposed to train her—her ticket to a new life.

She’s not prepared to give up on her dream of becoming a great sword fighter, though. Which is why when she stumbles across an assassin’s secret, she immediately sniffs an opportunity. Blackmail can be a pretty effective strategy, after all. If he trains her, she’ll keep her mouth shut.

The risks in blackmailing an assassin are pretty high, but if she can pull it off, she might finally be able to realise her dream.
That is until she realises that the assassin’s she’s blackmailing is nothing like what she thought, and she’s landed herself into far more trouble than she bargained for.

Delve into The Bloodless Assassin, book 1 of a complete 9 book series that’s packed with adventure, banter, and quirky characters, all set in a richly imagined tropical world.

Other books in the series:

#1 The Bloodless Assassin
#2 The Black Orchid

Review by Twinsie Kelly

This was nothing like what I expected…at all. Rory is a street urchin who has lead a tough life, but lifting purses and pillaging for coins is how she gets by. Her partner in crime, ends up turning on her and she is left to her own devices. Longinus, aka The Viper, is an assassin that ultimately is afraid of blood. He doesn’t care to actually fight for a kill but would rather it be an elaborate thing using poison. Longinus is an alchemist and longs for notoriety. I understood Rory’s character completely. However, Longinus took me longer as we had to really get to know him. The chemistry between the characters is very dynamic and I truly enjoyed them, and their stories. The story had some curvy plot twists and nothing was predictable, which I very much appreciated! I don’t think that I would characterize the book as “steampunk” but definitely more along the lines of sci-fi. Even though it wasn’t what I expected, I enjoyed the story. This is a good book if you are looking for something different to read that can be read as a standalone OR with the series. It wrapped up quite nicely!

#WOTR24 #Review Immortal Enemies: A STANDALONE Vampire Romance by Jessie Lane

Leave a comment

More than a thousand years ago, their love burned brighter than the sun. Now, the only thing that burns is his hatred for the woman he once sacrificed his life to save… and his skin in the daylight. Arne Eriksson grew up in a time when Vikings ruled the seas. He’d longed for the day he would earn his entrance to Valhalla. A treasured afterlife he’d never see since being turned into a vampire. The person responsible for making him a monster—the woman he’d once wanted to marry. Liv Nornsdottir was the outcast of the Viking era. The daughter of the mystical Norns, she hid from the world around her. All except for one… a boy who grew into the man she came to love. When he sacrificed himself to protect her, she did the only thing she could think of to save him—she had him turned into a vampire. Something so taboo she knew it would cost her Arne’s affections for all eternity. In the moment, she didn’t think, she reacted. She’s been running from him ever since. Lovers turned to immortal enemies. The problem is… he’s found her. And Arne is none to happy to learn the woman who damned him to an eternity without glory is also his mate.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

I am a sucker for vampires, but when I read the blurb, I was immediately drawn in because we now have a Viking Vampire! Yes please! Arne is a true Viking and looks forward to raiding, protecting his family and earning his entrance to Valhalla. He is absolutely enamored by Liv. He spends much of his time more or less stalking her because he just can’t get enough. He is drawn to her by something unknown. When he and Liv finally become friends, things blossom between these two. They grow up together but have to keep their friendship hidden. It is an incredibly slow burn. Liv is very mysterious and just “knows things.” She knows, and fears, the fact that she has seen that Arne hates her for what she has to do. She can’t speak of it, but she knows. When the worst thing imaginable happens, she has to have him turned into a vampire so she won’t lose him.

The journey of these two getting to know each other, falling in love, and going through a thousand years before they crash together again was a great story. The Viking background was one of my favorite things about this story.

#WOTR24 #Review – Five Day Fiance (Brewer Brothers #3) by Mickey Miller (Standalone or Series!)

Leave a comment

“Hot, sweet, funny, a little bit angsty but most of all, it’s just a great story that will keep you enthralled.”

It started out as a joke. I needed a wedding date. Jocko Brewer at my office was the perfect candidate. Handsome. Rich. Slightly cocky. Great in bed. And now… my fiancé. The ring was his idea to get his mother off his back about ‘getting serious with someone.’ Flashing the enormous rock front of my ex in Cancún was a nice bonus. Jocko has his reasons for wanting this fake engagement, and I have mine. But I never imagined our time in the sun would be the best five days of my life. I definitely never thought I would fall for a man like Jocko, a player who has broken more hearts than I have pairs of shoes. But a deal’s a deal, and five days in paradise is all we get. Now how do I stop myself from falling in love? Because this is only temporary. Turns out five days can change your whole world.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

This is a fun, sexy, swoony, witty, and emotional story all wrapped up a five day vacation from heaven….or hell. A lot depends on what temptation you actually act on and if you have any regrets.  Allie seems like a sweet, girl next door, type of woman. She is dealing with an incredibly difficult breakup. In the midst of this, she is invited to her friend’s destination wedding, but everyone is coupled up. Plus, the real kicker, her ex will be there with his new fiancé. Whatever will she do? She asks her coworker, Jocko, the self-proclaimed forever bachelor, to go with her on a “fun” vacation. He immediately shuts this down but then agrees, but only if she agrees to play as his fiancé to get his mom off his back.

Right here, we all know this is a bad idea. But hey, what happens on vacation, stays on vacation. Right?! These two have an intense chemistry, but neither have acted on anything as they are coworkers, Jocko doesn’t mix work with pleasure and Allie was taken. All of that is thrown to the wind and they both have an incredible time. However, it eventually blows up in their face. The hard facts are that they must face the music and figure out what they each will do.

The inner monologue from Allie and Jocko, both will give you something that we can all relate to. There is a wonderful balance of fun, sexy, swoons, wit, and emotions that will keep you turning the page. I thoroughly enjoyed this crazy story!

#WOTR24 #Review – The Risen: Reapers Book 2 by Tara Vasser

Leave a comment

As a newly branded Reaper, my first mission was to Sanctuary Academy, a magical school for kids, to fight zombies. I mean Risen. Apparently the supernatural are quite sensitive when it comes to the categorization of the undead. And, okay, I wasn’t actually, technically, supposed to be there. But it turns out I have a knack for defeating the undead, so nobody complained too loudly about me tagging along.
My partner Gunnar and I figured it was a trap, courtesy of the Necromancer who has been dogging my steps from the moment I stumbled into this supernatural world. It was a trap, of course. But I wasn’t the intended prey as we suspected.
Stranded at the school, courtesy of a monster blizzard, I explore hidden passages and unlock new facets of my magical abilities in the process. I just hope I can unearth the secrets of Sanctuary Academy in time to rescue Gunnar from whatever grisly fate the Necromancer has planned.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Being part of Death’s entourage and doing his bidding has not sat well with Chloe. She is a newly branded Reaper and still doesn’t understand fully what exactly she is. She is under Gunnar’s care and is supposed to be staying with Maude to continue her “education.” Since she wasn’t born into the supernatural world, she is very behind. Gunnar allows her to go with him to Sanctuary Academy to fight “the risen,” or in other words, zombies. Only these are unlike any zombies that the others have fought. It turns into a trap, Gunnar is kidnapped, and she is ordered by Death to stay at the school. Of course, Chloe can’t do what she is told as she is now just feeling like she can be useful. However, this turns into a mess too! As she is moonlighting as an Indiana Jones wannabe, she befriends one of the students, almost kills herself, learns new powers, and uncovers exactly what the kidnapping necromancer wants. Chloe just wants to do what’s right but can’t seem to get anyone to trust her to help. However, she did find some breadcrumbs that take her to Gunnar, but she now has even more questions as questions about her past and soul are triggered.

This story has a very intriguing and unique world. The characters can be very intense but are also witty and sincere. I am completely hooked and cannot wait to continue this series. I need to know what happens next!

#Review – Love at First Haunt: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After Book 1) #Review – Love at First Haunt by Carrie Pulkinen

Leave a comment


A psychic who’s afraid of ghosts…
Is that even a thing?

For medium Allison Gray, it certainly is. She’s seen dead people for as long as she can remember, but a harrowing incident from her past has left her terrified of spirits.

The one in Logan’s house is no exception.

Logan Mitchell is an empath, and while his gift of reading people’s emotions has come in handy in the business world, it’s about to drive him insane. Literally.

If his psychic power doesn’t make him crazy, the ghost that’s haunting him soon will.

He’s given up hope of ever having a normal life, until he meets Allison.

She could be the answer to his prayers, but even if she can overcome her fears, loving Logan will mean risking her life.

If you like steamy romance with a spooky twist, you’ll love this heart-melting ghost story!

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Mediums, fate, and ghosts…all wrapped up in a steamy happily ever after!

I have to be honest, the moment that I found out that Logan was rich, I almost put the book down. I have read enough of those that they all seem to be the same. However, I powered through because a lot of the story was still based around Allison and am happy I did. Logan is not the billionaire I have come to expect with similar stories. While at Logan’s first party in his new mansion, Allison has a terrible interaction with a ghost, but she has also picked up on some very strong feelings from Logan. Logan is an empath but does not realize it. He believes that his quirks are just that, quirks. Fate puts these two into a tailspin within the story until they literally collide and come together over a female spirit that haunts the mansion who thinks Logan is her husband. Allison and Logan both have a history and are completely broken, but just when you think love is all lost, these two actually complete each other. Super sweet and a great read!

#Review – His Christmas Bunny: A best friend’s brother romance with comedy (sweet & spicy) by Billie Jade Kermack

Leave a comment


A sweet & spicy Dual POV festive novella, filled to the brim with lusty encounters and laugh out loud moments.

There’s only 3 miracles on Mia’s wishlist…

1- That karma will dole out justice on her cheating ex.

2- That she could survive solely off a diet of sweet treats.

3- And lastly, but by no means least – that Logan Sinclair, her best friend’s big brother, will rewrite the past and express his undying love for her….

But she’s more likely to see reindeer fly than the latter since he hasn’t said two words to her in the last three years.
Agreeing to spend the holidays at the cabin with her best-friend and her family, the promise of drowning her sorrows in buckets of mulled wine is too good an offer to pass up. But fate has a funny way of derailing their plans of a calm and cosy getaway.
Lieutenant Logan Sinclair is meant to be deployed overseas for the holidays, not standing in Mia’s bedroom with a slick grin on his handsome face with news that they are officially snowed in together.
Even the weather is against her.

But what if this 6ft4 tattooed Adonis with the sweet caresses & dirty promises is here to mark a miracle off of Mia’s Wishlist?Or will history repeat itself and leave Mia destined to be unlucky in love forever?

Review by Twinsie Kelly

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is what happens when Santa brings you a bunny for Christmas!

This novella packs quite the punch! It has a little bit of everything. Mia is Logan’s little sister’s best friend and Mia is like family. Mia is quirky and super adorable. Logan is a natural born soldier with looks to boot! These two have had a lot of tension over the years…pining for each other but never acting on it.

Mia joins her friend for Christmas so that she is not alone and after three years, these two are thrown into each other’s space…quite literally! Emotions and sexual tension rears its head again and these two finally come around to lay things out on the table. It is a great explosion that turns into a lot of spicy encounters.

Like I said earlier, this story has quite a bit of everything. It is cute, funny, witty and sexy! The side characters give it a great flair as well. My only complaint is that I hoped for a bit more at the end. I needed and epilogue…since I don’t have that, I am hoping this continues and we can see what types of shenanigans these two can get into. Definitely a page turner!!

#WOTR24 #Review – Shadow Unveiled: Reapers Book One by Tara Vasser

Leave a comment

After a particularly nasty car wreck, I met Death, and he let me live. My doctors claim it was a hallucination brought on by the trauma, but it felt pretty damn real to me. Especially the part where Death said he’d call on me soon. Months after, he still hadn’t shown his face, but my life had fallen apart while I waited. Every waking hour was filled with the incessant chatter of voices in my head, and whenever I closed my eyes, I was plagued by night terrors. It was too much for my fiancé to handle, so he left. I couldn’t get out of bed anymore, so I got fired from my job. Even my own family began distancing themselves. I had no one and nothing left, except the voices and nightmares in my head. I couldn’t wait for Death anymore, so I decided to go to him the old-fashioned way–by dying.

Things don’t go as planned when Death sends his most loyal Reaper, Gunnar, to thwart my foray into The Realm of the Dead. That night I learned there is an entire hidden supernatural world, and the icing on the cake is that I’m a part of it. A BIG part. Magical abilities I didn’t know I had start to manifest and grow, gaining me all kinds of attention. Death offers me a place among his Reapers, and a power-hungry Necromancer tries to convince me to join his plot to overthrow Death.

Both sides make compelling arguments–but which one is right?

Review by Twinsie Kelly

This is truly a unique and captivating story. The world that this author has created is absolutely spellbinding. Tara Vasser is a ‘new to me’ author but has officially pulled me in as I fell into this story headfirst and couldn’t stop until the very end. Chloe feels like she has officially been abandoned. However, when she tries to end her life, Death comes barreling back into her life and does not let her disrupt the delicate balance between life and death. Chloe feels like she is going, very literally, insane. However, her saving grace is a vampire named Gunnar. She soon finds that she is a very powerful…well, no one knows what she is yet, but they are working on trying to figure it out. The one thing everyone can agree on is that she is powerful. While figuring out her powers, she has slipped into Shadow and has come face to face with a necromancer who has it out for her. She has so many obstacles to overcome but does it like any one of us would, she is scared and questions everything.

One of the things that I love about this book is that the story world is completely different from anything that I have read. The characters are great, and our strong female main character is like a normal human being. I have read so many stories where the lead just goes along with the magic stuff like they have lived it their entire lives. But Chloe, she is truly scared, she questions everything, she doubts herself, she doesn’t know if she is doing right or wrong, she truly was at the end of her rope. She is very real, and I think that is the cherry on top and what makes this book great.

I am loving this series and can’t wait to dive into book two!

By the way, don’t forget to pick up the prequel because it might give you some insight into what Chloe is going through. 😊

Review by Twinsie Kelly

I really love when the blurb to a book instantly pulls you. It is even better when the story consumes you! I am a sucker for paranormal books! Abby is a powerful witch and works for the Paranormal Investigation Bureau, but also works “on the side” for the vampire that raised her. She is brought in to investigate a murder case where the only information they have on the deceased is an intact arm with a murder scene that brings her into a world that involves her deceased parents. As Abby works on the investigation, she uncovers more questions. The further she dives into this, the more her own life is in danger. This is definitely in the suspense category because everywhere Abby turns, there is a new obstacle that makes you question everything you know. It is harrowing and heart wrenching. You never know who is truly on your side. Even then, how close do you let the ones you love in? I did not see the twists at the end. This story is full of magic, criminals, hexes, multiple types of paranormal creatures, and a crazy cult. What more could you really want from a book? I look forward to continuing this series.
