“Great story!” – A 5-Star review for “Summer Angel” (Summer Spirit Novellas Book 1) by Samantha Jacobey

“Great story!” By Lori Lazzara
This review is from Summer Angel: A Summer Spirit Novella (Summer Spirit Novellas Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
This book took me by surprise with its storyline, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! Charlie had a rare glimpse into a realm that people normally wouldn’t see but ultimately was faced with a choice. The ending made me smile. I can’t wait for the next book!

“Rings supernatural story-lovers’ chimes” – A 5-Star review for “The Void” by Marta Moran Bishop

Marta the void 2.jpg
“Rings supernatural story-lovers’ chimes” By Dodester
This review is from The Void (Kindle Edition)
This story is reminiscent of the old Twilight Zone episodes, reminding me of the reason they were fascinating. It was the author’s portrayal of the characters’ psychical layers within the story that captured my interest.
When the dark moon night phase is complete, a night with no moon – the void – occurs. Bad things happen to anyone caught outside during this time – it did to Helen, and she disappeared. Wrestling with her despair over a life of drudgery as an outcast, made worse by the loss of her sister, Altori makes a bold decision. Determined to discover the truth about Helen’s disappearance, she goes into the void for answers and risks the terrible ravages upon her body that will occur.
Alto’s choice is to stay the same – invisible and miserable or step into the void. To make a choice for change, she must transcend fears, trust in her intuition and go through a phase of pain. There is no guarantee she will survive much less discover the answers, the better life that she seeks.
The Void is a psychologically compelling story that integrates themes important for the transcendence of a person from a sense of littleness to one of confident self-worth. I enjoyed the paranormal element; it is the transformational, however, that made the story so interesting.

“This is a book that pulls you in from the get-go!” – A 5-Star review for “Jamaica Dead” (Laura and Gerry Mystery, Book 5) by Karen Vaughan

karen-jamaica-dead

“This is a book that pulls you in from the get-go!” By Viv Drewa
This review is from JAMAICA DEAD (LAURA & GERRY Book 5) (Kindle Edition)
Laura and Gerry get pulled into a murder while on vacation in Jamaica, even though Laura promised Gerry she wouldn’t get involved. She does all right but then it gets to be too much, and she’s right in the middles of it. I love how well Karen Vaughan mixes murder and comedy in her books and can’t wait to read the next one.

“An intriguing story” – A 5-Star review for “Murder and More” (Carson Reno Mystery Series Book 14) by Gerald W. Darnellg

Ger murder and more 7.png
A Carson Reno Mystery By Angela Kay
Murder and More is a quite intriguing story. The author does well to take the readers back in history. The scenery was very well described, the characters three-dimensional and interesting. The story pops out from the pages, and you’re really just watching a movie–that’s how engrossing it was…for me, anyway.
This is the fourteenth installment of the Carson Reno series but is a stand alone. We get the sense of who Carson is without knowing anything about this novel’s predecessors.
Carson is a very likable man, but I had trouble discerning how old he was. Sometimes he seemed to be in his mid-thirties, while other times he appeared to be much older. Either way, he gets his job done well.
Throughout the novel were various photos which help remind us that it’s set back in time. While I enjoyed the old-time landscaping and sign photos at times, some of the photos were beginning to become a bit of a nuisance, making it more of a picture book.
I did rather enjoy reading Murder and More. It was a quick, easy read, kept me guessing, and I became so engrossed in the storytelling that I managed to finish in one day. I highly recommend the story, whether you’ve followed along with Carson Reno in the past or not.

“A park bench = Love at first sight” – A 5-Star review for “January Black Ice” (A Cat Collier Mystery) by Carol Ann Kauffman

carol-april-yellow-moon

“A park bench = Love at first sight” By Valerie Roberson
This review is from January Black Ice: A Cat Collier Mystery (Kindle Edition)
This is the first book of the Cat Collier Mystery, and I’m already looking forward to book 2. Carol Ann Kauffman has a special way with her writing. She brings happiness and romance to light in a wholesome way. She makes you wish you were that main character.
Cat, Mary Catherine Collier, writes the Obituary for the Heaton Valley Herald and also does research for the paper. Detrick Bittmor is a lonely old man who once was in his hay day a very prominent lawyer for the town.
Mr. Bittmore asked Cat to “make friends” with this man who has been sitting on a park bench every day outside his penthouse apartment. Find out who he is. Get to know him. Why? Well, he may be —- —–! Cat agreed to do it. But she never expected to fall for this guy and find out he has been lying about who he is to her. Who is this guy?????
You are left hanging with some unanswered questions, but a warm feeling of true love. So now I have to read the next book to find out the answers. A good writer will leave a good book and you hanging.

“A hard subject tackled well!” – A 5-Star review for “End of the Rainbow” by Bill Miller

bill-end-of-the-rainbow

“A hard subject tackled well!” By P.S. Winn
This review is from End of the Rainbow (Kindle Edition)
I was going to give this book a four star, I was torn on that because the author does such a great job with the hard content of this book. Except for the fact I feel I am more optimistic than the author, I think the book is one all should read. I don’t think it is the end of the rainbow, but I can see things are headed in that direction. There is division, especially in America and I hope we can find a way to fix it. I like that the author not only spoke pf the common subject debated of race, religion and sexual orientation but also of rich and poor. I think that is a big divide we need to breach. For me, it is sad that America finally made a break through and elected a black president, only to not work with him. Something that was decided before he ever took the oath of office. The author did a good job of trying to stay neutral in the writing, a hard thing to do. I think we all have a prejudice against something and hope we all will also find a way to work on that. I have faith in the new generation who I feel see with their hearts and not their eyes. I hope I am right! Thanks to the author for a book that makes readers think, feel and hopefully change!

“You need to read this series” – A 5-Star review for “Finding The Magician” (Thirty Days Book 3) by Belle Brooks

belle-finding-the-magician

“You need to read this series” By Jenn
This review is from Finding The Magician: Part Three (Thirty Days Book 3) (Kindle Edition)
This story is absolutely amazing. Abigail and Marcus’s story of finding their way back to each other is beautiful and haunting, and the twists and turns throughout the series have been unforgettable. The characters that she creates in this series you really feel a connection to, especially some of the side characters like Sammy, Mosby, and Lucy.
I don’t want to give anything away, but just know that this book shocked the hell out of me. It completely stunned me into silence. I didn’t cry, or laugh, or get angry, I just sat there…… staring at my iPad when I finished the book.
I really think this is the kind of series you just have to hold your breath and jump into with both feet. When I first read Thirty Days I never read the description, I just dove right in. Take the plunge and read these books. It will be an experience.

“fab read” By emma obsessed book reviews bramley
This review is from Shattered Perfection (The Perfection Series Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
Omg, what can I say? I think this book needs to come with a warning “tissues will definitely be required.” This is the first book by this author that I’ve read, and I will be defiantly cant wait to read more. I loved how the book started at the present day then went back to the beginning to tell the love story finishing back at present day. A fantastic book with a brilliant a story line and even better characters.
Highly recommended
