Anyone who has loved a pet and revolved their life around them will appreciate this." - Alison, Goodreads

"Reading Day Moon by Brett Armstrong was like looking into our future. Never mind that the story was set in 2039, the characters reveal the same passions of love, distrust and longing for God's guidance when their lives were in jeopardy as the same way we acknowledge the trust we look for in today's world." - Brice, Goodreads

"Action packed with someamazing twists the story kept me turning pages until I got to the end... andnow I want more!" VampireLovingDorkaka NerdGirlVamp

Review - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

The imagery makes the experience magical. If only the story and acting was up to par with the art itself then I believe the movie would have surpassed expectations and even receive more praise then the last four films.

Set You Free: Love, Lies, and the Secrets that Bind by Elmer Seward

"Another Summer Delight from Elmer Seward

[...] the perfect setting for a tale of love and intrigue (with a bit of local flavor). Like the characters in Hearts in the Storm and Dreams of the Sleepless, those in Set You Free are complex and carefully crafted to support the plot." - Meagan, Amazon

she vows to get revenge - When Darkness Falls: The First Vampire Redemption Story by Ellen Chauvet

Be Warned - when you start to read When Darkness Falls you may have a hard time putting it down! The story grabs you right from the outset and moves quickly." - Avid Reader, Amazon

"Everything about this story -- the fantastic characters, the fact that it encompasses -- I believe -- one of the best tropes in the brother's best friend trope, the fast-paced plot and the dialogue which was the perfect combination of playful, emotional and intense -- made this story a total page turner that I never wanted to end. Will Charlie and Lila get the happy ever after they both deserve after everything they've been through in the past." - Bec, Goodreads

the hardest thing - The Mommy Detectives and the Bingo Hall Mystery by Alathia Paris Morgan

"This book has so many great elements, mystery, mayhem, red-herrings, more than a splash of humour, poignancy and that most wonderful of things - the solid bond of strong friendship. The stand out character for me was Aunt Marie - she is one feisty lady!" - Rosie, Goodreads

18+ "Okay so I absolutely love this book! I have been reading this series for almost two years. Every book is better than the last, Teagan and Aaron's story was no different. From the moment I began reading the book until I finished it, it had me excited and on the edge of my seat. I went through an emotional roller coaster with this book too." - Lacrymosa, Goodreads

No matter what you want to accomplish in your life, if you lack self-confidence, success may be just beyond your reach. Even the most goal-oriented and innovative people can be racked with worry, fear, and self-doubt.

18+ "Fall With Me is short, sweet, beautiful and unique. It is the second book in the Sixth Street Bands series, but I hadn’t read the first book. There are no spoilers about the previous book and I never had the feeling that I needed to read that book first. After meeting the secondary characters, I want to read the first book and any book that will follow." - Hanne, Goodreads

"This book is much more emotional than the others. It is also a very good mystery told with a dash of humor that it Emma Lee and Granny's style. Yes it is sad, but a twist at the very end makes you realize there is always hope. What a good book! I can hardly wait for another in the series!" - Barbara, Goodreads

"Even in the absence of a prologue, I was pulled into the story immediately. I was riveted all the way to the end. There are plenty of high tension, twists and turns. I felt strongly invested in Tess and her makeshift team. The chapters are short and snappy and the tale flows beautifully." - Christine, Goodreads

Banished. Cast out. Powerless. - Y'keta (The Sky Road Trilogy #1) by Sandra Hurst

In this coming of age story, the two protagonist [...] come alive with emotions and challenges familiar to young people of any time and place. " - D.Ford, Amazon

I truly enjoy how Ms. Guidoccio manages to weave together a tale of intrigue that keeps you guessing until the very end." - Rachel, Amazon

for her, he’d fight the devil himself - Snifter of Death (Bloodstone Series, #2) by Chris Karlsen

"This is an intriguing mystery that shows us just how difficult it was for Victorian police to solve crimes with the limited means they had. The fabulously strong characters are ones I want to meet again. A little touch of romance for our wonderful hero . We can't help but feel a little sympathy for Graciela.
A very entertaining read. " - Petula, Goodreads

This coming-of-age story, although set in the 90's, is still very relevant to today. It explores a quest for God without religion. Written with bursts of stream-of-consciousness and first-person narrative, “Punk” is simultaneously an urban existential fiction and a mystery novel.

"Twists! Twists! That seems to the motto of the author and I wholeheartedly agree with her. Though it is a very short read, I completed it in 3 hours max!, I recommend this to all fantasy action lovers out there. Don't miss out on a great start to a very good series. I look forward to the sequels with much anticipation." - Floryie, Goodreads

"Another Summer Delight from Elmer Seward

"This book is a thoughtful look at empowerment for women. At the same time, it's a rollicking trip into a fantasy world complete with dragons, love and strength, and ideas that really get you thinking. This book is highly recommended for all ages." - HUGEOrange

"[I]s a small book filled with wonderful insights into creating the life of your dreams, no matter the circumstances. Michael Ditton's shows, through examples from his own life choices, that anyone can obtain their dreams. It's not magic. It's not about money. It's not about fate or luck. Goals and dreams are obtainable through planning and determination. Adventure is the icing on the cake. It's about believing in yourself. Creating doable goals and taking a chance on life." - Joylene, Amazon

"Written with humor, it has mysteries, arson, sniper attacks,and HAWT interaction between investigator Jess Lucas and sexy Detective Sam Wheeler....it fairly flies by.Great interaction between the characters and descriptions that evoke the scenes clearly."- Amary, Goodreads

[...] I also found Ms Thompson's writing to be truly enjoyable; she has a neat sense of humor and ability to tell quite the compelling story. I'm really looking forward to reading more of her work! " - Maria, Goodreads

"‘Beyond Death’ is captivating, charming and occasionally sinister. I was rooting for the good guys and cringed at some of the punishments meted out to the sadistic villains, even though they were thoroughly deserved. I’m looking forward to discovering what happens to Claire and the others in book two – highly recommended. " - Jackie, Goodreads

"Bendoski writes like Hemingway, with not a single word wasted. That leaves center stage open for the action. The plot moves quickly, and chapters end continually with another intrigue, which keeps you turning pages as fast as you can." - J Washburn, Goodreads

her first and worst mistake - Seeker (Riders #2) by Veronica Rossi

"The feeling of imminent danger and the constant battles with terrifying creatures help bring this vivid story to life. However, the depth of characterization is what will make readers connect to this small group of teens on a mission to save humanity. Gideon and Daryn display a powerful chemistry from their very first meeting, while the personality conflicts between Gideon and his fellow horsemen keep this adventure both intense and humorous."―RT Book Reviews, Top Pick!

Someone wants a war. - Concrete Smile by Bernard Maestas

"This is a suspense novel unlike anything I have read before. The main character is sort of an “unhero” in that he is an information broker to gang leaders and other nefarious people. Through him we see the dark underside of a large city." - Joan, Goodreads
