They were...SO WRONG - Fear Inducer by Ellie Douglas

"All in all, Fear Inducer is a powerful work that should prove to be quite capable of setting your nerves on edge―only daylight reading recommended, though!"

Lois, Goodreads

18 + "This is a story of friendship, love, heartbreak, of connections forged and destroyed, of romance. I preferred Brandon over Linden, I thought Linden was actually quite selfish and that he chose his own interests over Jennifer’s way too often. I was rooting for Brandon all the way." - Majanka, Goodreads

18+ "This story is Sybil Bartel shining and writing what she writes best. It's a complex story of abuse and manipulation. It's dark and Dane is a dominant antihero rather than a knight in shining armour.Everyone in this book has a story to tell and neither the hero or heroine is a particularly likeable character." - Gemma, Goodreads

"Lots of quick and humorous banter, along with some steamy and sweet romance enters the picture, as well. I love some good old sass and vinegar. The emotions are all over the place and keep a reader’s attention from start to finish." - Anne, Goodreads

"This was actually a really good book that I got into pretty quickly, These characters will take you on a rollercoaster ride of hormones, lust, anger, jealousy . This was a great teenage coming of age story that will you either jealous not to be that age or thankful. [...] I love how the author captured the realness in this story . I cant wait to see what she does next.I would recommend this book." - United Indie, Goodreads

the battle rages on - Courting the Corporal (Emerald Belles, #2) by Heather McCorkle

"I loved the first book in this series and thought that it would be hard to match the quality of the story in this book. I was so wrong, this book is just as exciting, in fact probably moreso seeing as we got to travel across dangerous lands with our hero and heroine, joining them in their exciting adventure to California!" - AnnMarie, Goodreads

"One thrilling action packed page turner!

A fascinating dark novel that thrusts the reader head first into the most terrifying crisis ever to engulf the Vatican- the kidnap of the Pope.

Not only has the Holy Father been snatched from within papal grounds but his sinister captors are seeking use him as bait to orchestrate a third world war. " - Ariel, Goodreads

"Many incidents which you would expect to occur result in quite the opposite, and an unexpected attraction develops, with incredibly steamy interludes. I thoroughly enjoyed this love story with a difference, and recommend it to readers who like a steamy romance filled with adventure, humor, passion, drama, and a world of surprises." - Rosie, Goodreads

First, he steals her mind - Amnesia (Centrifuge Duet #1) by Kylie Hillman

18+ "The plot was different and interesting. [...] I am baffled at how it ended and am wondering if their will be more! My guess is not, but dang this book was great!
Overall, this book was amazing! It leaves you craving for more and even slightly confused. The author did an amazing job at keeping us confused but also keeping us in the story and craving for more!!!" - 2OCC, Goodreads

fate has other plans - The Trainee Undercover by Brenda Shaw

"This is a truly fantastic adventure thriller which keeps the reader on the edge of their seats. Packed with murder, mystery, and intrigue this story is one that you just cannot put down." - Susan, Goodreads

"This is a novel that is as complex in its plot as it is in its character development. Much is kept uncertain by the clever use of an unreliable narrator. The reader is led along false routes and into dead ends. Relationships develop over the course of the story as it examines the nature of friendship, marriage, parenthood and familial ties. There is illuminating insight into the concerns and nature of powerful politicians, which struck me as remarkably intuitive. " - about Motowak - Stuart, Goodreads

"This is a dangerous journey filled with twists and turns. It is wrought with tension, false leads, doubts and more. We also get to look into the mind of a killer and it is a scary place to go. I highly recommend The Watson Girl to anyone that loves thrillers but you won't necessarily want to read it after dark." - Diane, Goodreads

"AJ Nuest’s lastest book DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS is a scorcher! I was given an advanced ARC of this book from Netgalley and boy-oh-boy am I glad I was! Characters that jump off the page; dialogue that’s quick and witty; sensual scenes that are hot enough to burn. All these things are wrapped up in the pages of this book." - Peggy, Goodreads

"A fast paced story full of intrigue and mystery, a well thought out plot that keeps you glued to the pages, [...] I loved it and believe me you will love the outcome.

Laura Landon keeps the intrigue and suspense in every page, you will not be disappointed!" - Maria, Goodreads

"The storyline was really captivating, reading about this young boy, trapped by his manipulative father, broken by all the lies about his family. What about for once searching for the light instead of the dark? How to finally let someone love you, to give and take? To feel like you belong to someone, not being used like a means to an end?" - Aaly, Goodreads

"The format enables a taster of the author’s style and content, and the individual stories are excellent and stand alone well even without having read the main novels for context. [...]

There is nothing here I would change or improve on. I’m just thrilled to be able to add another writer to my favourites pile; and there are nine full novels in the series (not counting this collection), so that should keep me going for a while! " - Steph, Goodreads

18++ “An engrossing erotic crime drama that will leave readers wanting more.” – Library Journal

“With sizzlig love scenes, taut plotting, and a hair-raising finish, Castille’s romantic thriller will appeal to her existing fans and win her new ones.” – Publishers Weekly Starred Review

"This was well written and very much anticipated. [...]

Pat Esden gave me a read that I will love to read again. The entire series now available will be one that I start with one book one day then move on to the next book the next day. I would read this again." - The Book JunkieReads, Goodreads

What if the fate of the world lies with the monster—not the hero? Monsters Among Us ( #3) by Amanda Strong

"The story then takes us on a rollercoaster full of suspense, romance, mystery and the discovery of an interesting new species; part human, part dragonfly! This is not your average supernatural/fantasy book; where if you have read some you have read most of them. This book puts an interesting spin on our favorite fantasy creatures. " - Crazy BookWarm99, Goodreads

"Fracture Point hits all the buttons for a heart pumping, blood boiling, terrorizing suspense thriller that smacks of realism, with big business and the 1% taking everything and leaving nothing for the 99% struggling to survive."- Sherry, Goodreads

a “Dark Delight.” - TIME Magazine called the book

“Razor sharp and full of you-are-there authenticity—a superb thriller.” - #1 NYT Bestseller Lee Child

“Breathless action, great characters, and convincing details make Howe’s debut a surefire rocket to the top of the lists.” - NYT Bestseller Linwood Barclay

"Overall, Ms. Preston has delivered a marvelous enemy to lovers story in this book where Aaron and Lia have plenty of chemistry and where the story weaved the promise of love, family and happiness for the main characters, if they can overcome the challenges they face. "- Bec, Goodreads

"The very best part of these books is, of course, the romance. Unnecessary romantic drama isn’t something Bauer does and I admire her greatly for it. [...] I will conclude with this: I adore this series. Even with a somewhat inferior second book, it’s definitely worth your time. " - Maja, Goodreads

"The author proposes that we’re at the very point in time when radical change can come about. For those who think government and huge financial institutions are indeed too big to fail or jail, he reminds us that slavery had gone on for a very long time before it ended and that women’s rights lagged for centuries before that wrong was righted." - USR, Goodreads

the discovery of polio vaccine - Polio and Me by Ken Dalton

"This one was not a mystery but a true adventure. A real life adventure, one that Ken lived. Here he was able to take us to a time in life that hardships had to be overcome with grit and determination. I imagine he meant to share his experiences of polio so we could learn from it. And yes, I did." - Lennore, Goodreads

18+ "Absolutely loved this story!!!! It was phenomenal! I was drawn into it from the very beginning. [...]

I loved the way that things developed. It keeps you glued to the pages but nothing feels drawn out, or takes too long." - Lexee, Goodreads

"It was a great read and not the same old thing that it seems like every author is trying to write about these days. I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author."- Tracy, Goodreads

" Once again, Cass Alexander uses humor, attitude and snark to deal with some of life’s tougher moments, making them equally endearing and entertaining. No, no, human hearts will NOT be sacrificed for our reading pleasure, what could be a completely heartbreaking tale of guilt and pain will become a journey to freedom, growth and love! And did I mention HUMOR? The trip into Morgan's brain is priceless!" - Dianne, Goodreads

Forbidden: Better Wear Your Flak Jacket by F. Stone

"What a thrill a minute ride this book takes you on. The characters are futuristic and totally awesome. [...]

I found this to be a creative and unique storyline that kept me intrigued and on pins and needles." - Vicki, Goodreads

"What would it take for YOU to leave your humanity behind to exact revenge? How far would YOU go to feel vindicated? Could you be as thorough as Sob? Would you risk your soul to avenge the person you once were? It takes a talented author to turn a crazed monster into a sympathetic being and I felt Sob's pain and understood her actions." - Dianne, Goodreads

This is definitely a friends to lover story with a slow building romance and enough heat to ignite the pages. " - Beth, Goodreads

"Caloric is a very well written book by Tricia Barr. This book drew me in from the very first page. It follows a great pace and has a unique plot that is rather intriguing. The pace of the book is perfect and never feels like it is dragging out or is rushing you through the story. There are some neat twists hidden within that keep you reading on. " - Ramona, Goodreads

Never, ever did I think I would write a paranormal romance. It’s not my thing. In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have written a PNR as my second book. Because that isn’t who I am or want to be. It confused the few readers I accumulated from Thizz. It slowed my roll, so to speak. - Nicole Loufas

"The suspense of the hunt and the cleverness of how the author weaves the plot are well worth the journey to see if the heroine and hero find their way to each other and happiness. This book is a very enjoyable read for anyone wanting a good book that will hold your attention."- Karen, Goodreads

on the wrong end of a .32 - Crimson Footprints (Crimson Footprints #1) by Shewanda Pugh

18+ "Wow! Yes, that is the word. I opened this book expecting nothing and I ended up with everything. Literally. This book hooked me from page 1 and never did my attention falter. The book is just so refreshing. It’s so fresh and new, the concept unexplored, at least as far as my reading is concerned." - Pragya, Goodreads

"This author has a beautiful way of crafting gripping stories, reveling in the scenes, sensing the pine-scented air, ducking arrows, and creating heart-stopping action with his characters. I loved the book and you will too! Recommended to anyone who has ever viewed Alaska as mysterious and alluring. You were right!" - Virginia, Goodreads

"SEDUCING THE HEARTBREAKER is an intelligent book, with intensely sensual sex scenes, and fully fleshed-out, realistic, and very engaging characters. Ms. Glover’s prose is impeccable, and with this book, the author’s tremendous writing skills shine as she makes a familiar trope seem brand new. SEDUCING THE HEARTBREAKER is a fine, fine book!" - Monique, Goodreads

"And I was totally surprised by how the book ended. Now I cannot wait to see what happens next. My honest review is - an enjoyable read that mixed history, magic, and gods into a story that makes you want to read the next book." - Christinaraven, Goodreads

"Do you like Greek Mythology? How about Steampunk? What about a great story with likeable characters and a fresh plot? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then "Gears of Fate" is the book for you. [...] Stanton takes creative liberty with traditional mythology and adds his unique flair. " - Daniel, Volpe
