We’re literally sitting on top of Hell... Baptism of Fire (Playing With Hellfire, #1) by Jessie Thomas

"The writing is exquisite. Everything, from the beautifully detailed setting of Perdition Falls and the wide range of characters made this reading session a lovely experience. But what really did it for me was how complex each character is [...] he gripping action and the superb tension frame a very convincing story, one that I'm very excited to continue reading in the next book." Elena, Goodreads

a world they thought they knew - Essence of the Angels (The Starlight Chronicles #2) by P.S. Malcolm

"This book picks up beautifully from the first and you're immediately immersed in character's emotions and conflicts. This story has much deeper emotion, more intense action, and higher stakes. [...] There are also some huge twists that you won't see coming. I give this five stars for completely knocking my socks off!" Jo Narayan, Goodreads

the odds of success are tenuous at best... Priestess of Storms & Stone (Rogue Ethereal #5) by Annie Anderson

"Max is back, and full of her usual spunk with a little extra shine and sparkle thrown in. Every pun intended. (You will understand when you read...LOL). [...] Nonstop amazing, per usual. Max and the gang is never ending entertainment and awesomeness!" K.A.Graham, Goodreads

Inspired by A True Story - Keep Forever by Alexa Kingaard

“Unlike some war stories that focus on intense, harsh and graphic depictions of post-combat trauma, this tale unfolds gently, like an Edna Ferber novel, spread across many decades, detailing the impact this soldier’s illness has on an entire family, including children and grandchildren. KEEP FOREVER is a wonderful, emotionally satisfying read that I highly recommend. ”
GARY SEIGEL, author of “Haskell Himself”

no time for romance... Slayer (Shadowborn Rebellion #1) by Cyndi Friberg

"I really enjoyed Malik and Kara as protagonists. They’re such strong characters, and so right for one another.

Mary Lynne, Goodreads

Zelda Richardson Mystery Series by Jennifer S. Alderson

Elizabeth, Goodreads (#3)

what if you'll be next? No Stone Unturned (Forensic Instincts #8) by Andrea Kane

"A compelling read with the perfect balance of mystery and character detail. Given this is book number eight, those character details were invaluable, and certainly allowed me to follow the story without wondering too much what had happened in previous books. There's a blend of historical information with the unravelling mystery, centring on Ireland's violent past, and it all hangs together really well." L.S., Goodreads

against the darkness…The Spirit Breather (Native Guardians #1) by Bekah Harris

"It was so refreshing to open this book up to a new kind of story, with Native American characters taking center-stage and diving into an entire mythos of lore, spiritual awakening, latent magical powers, ageless sage leaders, and, naturally, angsty young people battling not only big scary monsters, but themselves in a conflict of deep personal struggle, of self discovery, of a painful past, and of a hopeful future." - Dustin Street, Big Small Town Books
