Review: You Can Hide by Rebecca Zanetti
★★★★ #RebeccaZanetti #YouCanHide #NetGalley What is going on here? This series gives me the same feel as the TV Series - Hannibal. Special Agent Laurel Snow is pulled back to her hometown as another possible serial killer is on the prowl. What are the odds of a small town having more than 1 serial killer? This adrenaline pumping suspense is complex with multiple plots going on at the same time. I love it. For those who are squicked out by S.E.X and want the focus to be mo

Review: Dark Whisper by Christine Feehan
★★★ @AuthorCFeehan #DarkWhisper #NetGalley Nice addition to the latest storyarc in this series, the focus is still on the Ancients. This time around it is Afanasiv Belan who will find his mate in a woman who is not what she seems. Whilst the Carpathian males are more or less interchangeable now, the females they find as mates are a bit different. Vasilisa is a Russian spy... just kidding. She's a Royal in a country that forbids any type of royalty or they would be killed.

Review: Garrett's Destiny by Rebecca Zanetti
★★★★ #RebeccaZanetti #GarrettsDestiny #NetGalley Garrett is pulled in multiple directions as he has ties with the vampires, demons, and bear shifters. To top this off, he is also part of a secret (not so secret anymore) Seven who apparently broke the laws of physics. I have been waiting for Garrett's story ever since we saw hits of him falling for a deadly woman that would try to kill him. Even though I was prepared for this plot, I was not prepared for the plot twist! Des

Review: A Curse of Queens by Amanda Bouchet
★★★★ @AuthorABouchet #HighlyAnticipated #ACurseofQueens #NetGalley Magical with an exhilarating adventure, A Curse of Queens is everything I hoped it to be. Ms. Bouchet crafts a masterful piece filled with backstabbing gods, civil unrest, and intrigue. Lately, I have been following and reading authors who write fantasy with complex plots and highly developed world-building. I love it. Ms. Bouchet is an automatic read for me. Her stories suck me into a fantasy world rich w

Review: Dreaming of a Heart Lake Christmas by Sarah Robinson
★★★½ #DreamingofaheartlakeChristmas #Netgalley Christmas in Summer? Ready for a sweet Hallmark movie moment? Look no further than this book. New-to-me author Ms. Robinson brings forth an endearing tale of rediscovery, connecting, and growth. Nola Bennett returns to her hometown where she's felt most loved by her deceased grandmother. Whilst visiting to manage her grandmother's estate, she spends time with her besties and reconnects with her high school crush. What I like

Review: Devouring Darkness by Chloe Neill
★★★★ @chloeneill #DevouringDarkness #NetGalley Is this the end of this series? I hope not. Elisa and Connor are thrown into a situation that they must resolve by a deadline without the help or support of their parents. The series has been building up to Elisa and Connor moving up in supernatural politics and trouble management. This is the one where they show their mettle. There are also reveals that make me nervous because this is the 2nd to the last book in the series.

Review A Dragon's Desire by Shiloh Walker
★★★ ½ #ADragonsDesire #NetGalley Ready for heartbreak? This is a Shiloh Walker romance so brace yourself for angst. There are dragons, lost loves, and horrible humans. This book can be read as a standalone. Sorin is a byproduct of a dragon and human love. This book immediately starts on a sad note and pretty much continues on this melancholy note until the bitter end. It moves me and I enjoyed the tear-jerking novel. What I like about Ms. Walker's writing style is how she

Review: Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs
★★★★★ @Mercys_Garage #SoulTaken #NetGalley My mind is blown. So much happens in this latest book in the series and I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter of it. This should not be read as a standalone. At least read the last 3 or 4 books preceding this book to experience the full effect and understand some of the references. *nudge* (keels over laughing). Mercy cannot get a break. The fae, witches, vampires, and werewolves just seem to want to make her life complicated. I

Review: Final Heir by Faith Hunter
★★★★ ½ @HunterFaith #FinalHeir #HighlyAnticipated #NetGalley BEAST IS THE BEST! This is a satisfying end to a great series. The first 30% of the book was a bit of a drag for me. After that, the hits just keep on coming. The casts of characters I have grown to love over the years show up. Even a couple I don't like. There is an unexpected heartbreaking scene for me at the beginning that set the tone of this book. This is the end of this chapter for Jane. A new chapter

Review: Bayou Sweetheart by Lexi Blake
★★★★ @authorlexiblake #BayouSweetheart #NetGalley #MustRead Once again, I am won over by this charismatic small town named after a butterfly. When it comes to sweet romances, Ms. Blake consistently delivers high quality over and over again. This feel-good story is about self-discovery. The journey for Actress Brynn Pearson is stressful as she is being pulled in multiple directions by well-intentioned people. This is a must-read and can be read as a standalone. Brynn Pears

Review: Rhett Redeemed by Chantal Fernando
★★★★ @ChantalFernando #NetGalley #RhettRedemmed When a bad boy has the best of intentions and then proceeds to muck it all up. Rhett being tagged as the heir apparent for the Wind Dragons is a bit iffy in my book. I'm not saying that he is dumb. What I am saying is that perhaps he doesn't have the right mindset yet. He seems to not think things through and look at the ramifications of his actions. Plus his communication skills suck. How on earth would it be believable t

Review: Sweetwater and the Witch by Jayne Castle
★★★★★ @JayneAnnKrentz #NetGalley #SweetwaterandtheWitch #mustread #mustbuy A delightful tale with suspense, danger, romance, and a sidekick Dust Bunny, Ms. Castle pens another winner. The Ghost Hunter series is one I have followed since the very first book. I loved all of them and this newest one goes into my re-read collection. This story contains adventure, a mystery, and new findings left by aliens. Most importantly, we meet a new Dust Bunny, Harriet who is too adorable

Review: Ruthless by Gena Showalter
★★★★ @genashowalter #Ruthless #NetGalley There is nothing kind about fae in this Immortal Enemies universe. Micah who showed up in the first book of this series is now better explained. I felt pity for him earlier. Now after hearing his story, I feel great sorrow. This title is more in reference to the author than the characters. Ms. Showalter is ruthlessly brutal to her characters and I just want to wrap Micah up and protect him. There is a meme running around about tak

Review: Reckoning by Catherine Coulter
★★★★ #Reckoning #NetGalley @catherincoulter @WmMorrowBooks @customhousebks Savich and Sherlock are one of my favourite dynamic duos. This action-packed suspense is a dual plot which I love. Ms. Coulter consistently writes concurrent plots for her FBI Thriller series. This adds an additional complexity to the story and it makes it so good. There are parallels to Kirra and Emma's situation which makes this pairing good to read. Starting with Kirra, this is an interesting ca

Review: Ruby Fever by Ilona Andrews
★★★★★ @ilona_andrews #NetGalley #RubyFever #MustRead #MustBuy Swoonworthy ending to an amazing trilogy, House Andrews for the win! I loved this book from beginning to end and have read it at least a dozen times since I received it. This is a wild ride from beginning to end. The pace of this story is fantastic and keeps my heart pumping. Warning, this book should not be read as a standalone. Second Warning, do not start reading this right before bedtime. Chances are, you

Review: Harmony of Fire by Brian Feehan
★★★ #NetGalley #HarmonyofFire The first in a series of good versus evil, it is clear to see the influences in author Brian Feehan's writing. I picked up this book partially because of the new author's name and partially because it is about angels. Or a version of angels... This concept is intriguing and I want to see where this series goes. As a first book by Mr. Feehan, it contains the kind of worldbuilding that interests me. What I like about this series is that it isn't

Review: Grace Under Fire by Julie Garwood
★★★★★ @JulieGarwood #GraceUnderFire #NetGalley #MustRead I adored this book. I am loving this series as it is hitting all the points I love about romantic suspense with a touch of law enforcement men. I have already read this book several times since I first received it. Grace Isabel MacKenna is truly a woman who is Grace under Fire. This story is ridiculously good with characters I fell in love with. Let's start with Grace who goes by Isabel. She reminds me of a friend wh

Review: Red on the River by Christine Feehan
★★★★ @AuthorCFeehan #RedontheRiver #NetGalley This second book in a new suspense series from Ms. Feenhan is a solid must-read for me. Whilst it isn't labeled as a series, this book contains friends from the Murder at Sunrise Lake. In this one, the majority of the book takes place in Vegas. Vienna is our main character who is awesome at winning poker games. Oddly, I just read about a real-life woman who switched over to poker games to make a living and makes a killing at

Review: Storm Echo by Nalini Singh
★★★★★ @NaliniSingh #NetGalley #StormEcho Finally, the story arc I've been waiting to see progress takes a leap forward. I devoured this story and read it into the wee hours of the night. This story starts out fun with Ivan Mercant going through a crazy Navy SEAL type survivor course put on by shifters. Ivan is a Psy, not a shifter so this is going to be interesting. In one of his "quests" or "test" or whatever it is called that he has to survive, he injures himself and is

Review: Point Last Seen by Christina Dodd
★★★★ @ChristinaDodd #PointLastSeen #NetGalley This new series from Ms. Dodd grabs my attention and keeps me turning page after page. The character development as well as the small-town antics keeps me amused. Adam is a man who wants to be left alone to lick his wounds. He seems to be the standard stoic introvert. This is until we learn about his childhood. I am stricken with sorrow and a feeling of helplessness. I want to go back in time to wrap this tough boy in warm pr
