"So, all in all, I LOVED this. There’s so much crazy girl power (literally and figuratively), in this book, it’s hard not to love it. It’s got science, it’s got gay girls, it’s got crazy tech, it’s got heists, it’s got nerd culture, what more could you want? I know there’s no series number on the Goodreads entry, but I’m holding out hope that I see more from Jess and Halley in the future." Allie, Goodreads

Life is good, but life is also full of the unexpected - Of Sound Mind and Someone Else's Body by William Quincy Belle

"Just WoW!! This book held me in suspense until the next-to-very end, and then again until the very end. You’ll just have to read for yourself to fully understand what I’m talking about.

"I thoroughly enjoyed Gregory’s mystical, offbeat story. Her prose is playful and there is a tenderness to her writing that perfectly complements Moojie’s innate empathy for humans, animals and nature.The tale is altogether allegorical and folkloric, and I was very easily led into its magical hinterland. An impressive début and I very much look forward to seeing what this talented author comes up with next! " Kevin, Goodreads

Her... Him... Betrayal (Corrupt Empire #1) by Sarah Bailey

18++ "I'm appalled, bewildered, frustrated, and weirdly touched by the character dynamic throughout the course of the entire story. Of all these things that I feel, I simply cannot look away. I've never discussed a book more with my peers, and I've never needed to know what happens next in a series more than with this selection. This in many ways makes the novel a controversial work of art. To put it simply: I'm all-in." MJBurroughs, Goodreads

"A wild ride with plenty of mythical twists and turns. If you are a fan of Pierce Brown's Red Rising series you'll love Storm of the Gods. So action-packed and great characters. I love how author Amy Braun has brought the Greek Gods back to life and into our modern times." Adam, Goodreads

The action just keeps pouring out page to page beginning to end. " Nancy, Goodreads

What really struck me is the sheer amount of research Jacob must have gone through to walk the fine line between agnostic sensibilities and deep cut religious references. Henry's reaction to conversing with the various avatars and deities felt well balanced." Sean, Goodreads

"Excellent suspense! I loved the very detailed play-by-play. The description of all the newest and latest technology/electronic devices/spy equipment - how fun! I want to play with some of those! Makes me want to go into the CIA or something. I wonder how many of them are real or made up?" Wall to wall books, Amazon

Dark clouds were accumulating. - We Survived....At Last I Speak by Leon Malmed

"This memoir fascinated me from the beginning, with descriptions of normal life in Europe, but once I got to chapter 11, when the Nazis came into the author's life and changed it forever, I could not put the book down. Leon was just four in 1941, and his sister was five years older, and the story of how they survived in Nazi-occupied France is compelling. Even after the war ended, there were more trials to endure for this brother and sister." Beverly, Goodreads

Sidney decides that she will conduct an experiment aimed at exposing just how far gentlemen will go, no matter their rank, to ruin a lady for sport.

Mary, Goodreads

"I read this book in the onve sitting. It was so well told and so energetic from the very first sentence throughout. There is a beauty in the story. the beauty of being underwater, seeing something that just can't be. The beauty of the fear of running out of oxygen. All beautifully told and yet, I was sitting on the edge of my seat as they raced against air loss and powerful storms. " Vicki, Goodreads

"This well-written novel was light and fun, yet during Gus’s very unusual journey to find out what had happened to him and to solve a mystery, there were several thought-provoking and insightful moments of clarity. I thought the author did a wonderful job of balancing the “different shades of light” in the story and creating characters that readers can truly visualize." Lisette, Goodreads

"Just the right amount of romance to equal the thrills and roller coaster ride. I was on the edge of my seat, reading swiftly to just find out what was next.

The storyline flowed smoothly, giving the reader that right amount of smexy, sexy stuff, and of course the suspense was riveting." Katrina, Goodreads

This author never disappoints

"It's a roller coaster. It's an adventure. It's the ultimate conclusion. It's believable. It's so, so satisfying. The emotional growth of our characters is never more evident than it is here, in this volume. They'll fall apart. They'll come back together. Some bonds are broken, some are forged, some are forged anew." Sarah, Goodreads
