HAPPY NOVEMBER ALL

   Good morning my peeps , I hope you are having a wonderful November so far. Christmas prep will beg getting into full swing here. Today I have for you book 44 in the Haven Hollow series . ADEPTS AND ALCHEMISTS  by Hp Mallory. 

                            BOOK BLURB

 When death is just the beginning, and coming back means risking everything...

I thought dying was the worst thing that could happen to me. I was wrong.

Trapped as a ghost in gypsy Lydia Morton's body, I've spent months watching life from the backseat—unable to speak, unable to act, unable to warn anyone about the danger closing in. But when a soul-sucking vampire attacked, everything changed. Suddenly, I found myself back in control of Lydia's body... but Lydia's soul is gone.

Now I face an impossible choice: accept my second chance at life in a borrowed body, or risk everything to bring Lydia back from the nightmare she's trapped in. With the terrorist organization I once worked for hunting me down, and a spell that tore me apart atom by atom still haunting my nightmares, I know I'm living on borrowed time.

But I won't face this alone.

A reluctant coven of misfit witches. An incubus desperate to save his mate. A blood warlock with forbidden magic. And a kindhearted mundane who sees past the monster everyone else fears. Together, we'll attempt the impossible: a ritual to rebirth a soul and restore a body—before time runs out.

In Haven Hollow, death isn't always the end. Sometimes it's just the beginning.

                          MY REVIEW 

 Welcome back to the Hollow, after Lydia's soul is accidently taken . Indigo now has the reign over Lydia's body. She has a big decision to make keep Lydia's body or take on the task to get Lydia back from the vampire and cult that have been hunting for Indigo for years. But she isn't going to do this alone. With the help of Angelo, the incubus who is Lydia's mate , a coven of witches that are so mismatched in very way. A sweet mundane who is the sweetest guy that can see past the monsters . They will try and find Lydia before time runs out. 

   The gang is back and oh so good .Angelo is beside himself with worry , who for an incubus is a big big deal. Indigo she is well she is fighting hard to keep herself safe and finding Lydia. Wanda is as snarky as ever but when push comes to shove she will more heaven and earth for those who she cares about . Poppy and Finn are back and fighting for everyone to keep everyone safe. Each character gets better with each book . We see them as more a family now then just a bunch of magical beings living in one spot . These characters have really become like old friends and I love how they grow with each and every book. 

  This is one of those books that will have you laughing all the way through. They are so much fun to read . The author has built such a great land for these characters to thrive on and grow with each new book. I read this author when I want a fun sexy little read for an evening .This isn't a stand alone if you want to know more about them I would start at the start of The Occult oddities chapter of the series and read them and get to learn more about Lydia and the gang.There are so complex and parts of the series and different areas of town. So if you want a series that will have you thinking of a total town and their day to day lives check them out . 

GOOD DAY ALL AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN

   Good afternoon peeps , sorry about not being around been busy and also needed a break after reader round up. But i am back and I have for you book 5 in the Daughter of the Moon series . THE WHEE OF FORTUNE  by Hp Mallory. 

                           BOOK BLURB

 They say making a deal with a shadow witch is a bad idea. Turns out, they were right.

I thought rescuing Valerian would be straightforward—find the artifact the Raven Witch wants, trade it for the vampire who risked everything to save me, and get the hell out of the shadow realm. Simple, right?

Wrong.

Because now I've bargained away a piece of my soul, accidentally pulled my naked mother and her equally naked warrior boyfriend into a hell dimension, and discovered that the "simple artifact" I'm after could literally destroy both the mortal and shadow worlds.

Oh, and did I mention the Raven Witch is Valerian's psychotic ex who's been torturing him for weeks? Or that her equally powerful sister—the Eternal Queen—has been imprisoned in her own fortress, waiting for someone stupid enough (me) to free her?

Luke—my patient, devastatingly gorgeous guide through this supernatural nightmare—keeps warning me that Valerian can't be trusted. But here's the thing: Luke won't tell me his own secrets, won't let me past the walls he's built around himself, even as every heated glance and almost-kiss makes it clear there's something explosive between us. And now he's risking everything to help me save the one man he desperately wants me to abandon.

With my heart pulled between two impossibly complicated men, the fate of both realms resting on my ability to trust myself, and time running out, I'm learning that the hardest part of being a Daughter of the Moon isn't the magic or the monsters.

It's knowing which future to choose when the Wheel of Fortune shows you multiple paths—and only one leads to salvation.

One thing's for sure: nothing will ever be the same.

                            MY REVIEW

 Welcome back to the daughters of the moon. Kate finds herself in a different universe Obsidian where she is trying to find Valerian who was taken by his crazy ex girlfriend . When she bargains part of her soul away and then pulls her naked mother and her trusted guardian through to the other side. Along with Luke the magician who is her guide and is hopelessly in love with her . She and her band of ragamuffins have to go and find an object that could or could not end the mortal and shadow world. She must find the Eternal witch who is the sister of the crazy raven witch . Will Kate be able to save the worlds and get back to their universe in one piece. 

  Kate and the gang are back and honestly funnier than ever. Kate is still trying to come to terms with the powers she has but there are moments that she doubts herself and all that she can do. When push comes to shove and she stops doubting herself she can do so much more . Thank goodness she has good friends that have her back and will keep her safe. Luke is poor long suffering guide who has to teach and try and not fall in love with Kate.  With the rest of the crew they will try and figure out how to get Valerian and part of her soul back . We get to see the Raven witch in all her glory and her sister and save the world . When you get everyone together the laughs start up again . Each character is well written and you will love them from the very start. They get more and more complex with each story oh Rocco is back and funnier than ever. For a talking goat he makes the story so much fun to read. 

  This is one of those stories that you can pick up and start reading and laugh your way all the way through .  The author loves to write snarky, sassy characters that are flawed but you can see the good in them and fall for them.  I am so happy that she is back and writing good stories . If you want a fun series check out THE DAUGHTER OF THE MOON series . You will not be disappointed .

GOOD MORNING ALL TODAY I HAVE FOR YOU THE FINAL BOOK IN READER ROUND UP

   Good morning my peeps, today is the last book in the reader roundup for me . THE BLACK BOOK SERIES  by Theresa Sederholt. ( special edition)

                           BOOK BLURB

 Murder By Mistake: Book One

One bomb; the ripples of devastation—endless.

Tick . . . tick . . . tick . . .

Michelina

A week ago, I was a simple high school science teacher, and my biggest worry was making sure that my students got their final project in on time. Now, that is the furthest thing from my mind. Instead, I am in a race to save my life. In my possession is a key my grandfather left me. This key could change the lives of the five New York crime families that run the East Coast. I’m surrounded by the FBI and Mafia families. Good guys. Bad guys; the line blurs. One wrong decision could end so many lives, including my own.

Luca

I’ve lived my life on a dare—a life where I can do what I want when I want. Whoever gets in my way be damned. When I was assigned to protect her, she had no idea who I was—no one did. I didn’t expect to feel anything for her, except hate. Hate for what her family did to mine. Instead, I was beginning to fall in love with her. A forbidden love that could get us both killed or . . . it could land us at the top of La Cosa Nostra.

One wrong decision and it could blow up in our face . . . literally.

BOOK TWO Dangerous Pursuit: 

There are some secrets that seep out the sides of even the most confined places. Secrets that get people killed when they are supposed to be protected by them. Secrets that change the dynamics of life as we know it.

Michelina has been a victim of all these possibilities. The only thing she can do is continue to search for answers and try not to get herself killed in the process.

Family can be a wonderful blessing. It can also come at a cost. The more Michelina learns about her family, the larger it grows, and may just cost her everything.

Luca is doing everything he can to keep the woman he loves safe and the truth from spreading like wildfire. But when a bullet, meant for his brother, is closing in on its target, instincts kick in, and the truth explodes all around them.

There is one man at the helm of these wicked lies and deceit: Agosto. For years he thought he was doing the right thing. Maybe he was, or maybe he was unknowingly supplying the ammo to have his entire family taken out.

BOOK 3 Blood Vows: 

Self-destruction is ingrained into human nature. Each person carries the ability to cause their own extinction in all facets of life. Intervention rarely changes anything because one thing is clear…no matter how hard we try to set someone on a new path, their choices will always belong to them.

Save her best friend’s life again, or save the cousin she never knew she had. That is the dubious decision Michelina faces. She never imagined she’d turn out more like Carmine, the grandfather she hardly knew. He was ruthless, which was reflected in the hoard of enemies that followed him. The blood on her hands won’t wash away easily as Michelina gathers her strength to become the head of the Amato family.

The contention between family members begins to fester, as her stepbrother’s plans for Carmine’s legacy puts not only Michelina’s life in jeopardy, but also the life of her closest friend.

A house full of secrets will always be divided.

BOOK 4 Infinite Absolution: 

The reigns have been handed down to the younger generation, the generation whose ties are connected by deceptions in the past. There’s only one man left from the older generation who has been pulling those strings all along: Agosto. Agosto knew all the damage he left in his wake, but he didn’t care; he was in competition with a dead man.

He walked away thinking he would have infinite absolution once the love of his life became truly his under the eyes of God. Viviana’s love was strong enough to forgive him of his misgivings; he was sure of it. However, Agosto has never been able to understand the love for your child, the power behind such a love…

For some, there is no absolution.

                       MY REVIEW

 This four book series follows the lives of a family that Michelina didn't really know she had and what happens the day that things went wrong in her life but actually saved her life in the process,  She is taken to a world where you can't trust anyone not even the closest people that come into her life As the books go on we see how they thrive and start to take over the family business. As Agosto finds the love that was taken away from him . He keeps Vivian in his life and is ready to retire the family and give over the Michelina and Luca . Between saving her best friends life or save the life of the brother she never knew she had . As she saves her best friend things happen that hurt the family . But there is damage has been done and will her best friend survive what happened to her. 

   This is a series of books that the characters start out strong and keep getting stronger. Michelina has a back bone of steel and a sassiness that shines through out the books . In book one we see her as the sweet school teacher and by book 4 you see her as the head of the family and putting things right and keeping everyone safe . Luca has been torn between two worlds and when he saves Michelina he decides to keep her safe and you see by book 4 how he fits in with his family more and more . We have so many characters through out the books . I think Agosto and Vivian are my favourite . Agosto the head of the family and getting older everyday. Vivian was his first love until she was taken away by his rival . After years of waiting we see how revenge can work but doesn't want to have Vivian or Michelina hurt in any way. You love how the characters evolve and grow more complex with each book. 

  This series of books shows the growth of the characters and how they evolve into the people they become at the end of the series . I truly love this author's writing style and how she draws you in with such interesting characters and back stories . I will admit there are cliff hangers at the end of each book but it is great cause the next book is right behind it. So if you like a mafia series  with stories that will have you engrossed the whole time and actually like the characters this the series for you . So if you want a good story this is the series for you. Add it to your fall reading list

GOOD AFTERNOON ITS DAY 7 OF READER ROUND UP

   Good afternoon my peeps , its been busy here today so I am a bit late with my review today. Today i have a collection of short stories for you .  NAUGHTY FAIRYTALE COLLECTION  by Sophia Poe 

                              BOOK BLURB 

 Welcome to the Naughty Fairytale Series. This collection of short stories was loosely inspired by classic fairy tales we all know and love–only these have a sexy spin.

This is a collection of thirteen short stories that explore themes that may not be suitable for everyone. Reader discretion is advised.

                       MY REVIEW 

 Welcome to the naughty side of reader round up.  This collection takes some of best loved fairy tales and shortens them up and gives them a dirty little twist. 

  This is such a fun collection of short stories . Each story is set in and around the 17 century . Where woman were seen and not heard and the men are manly men. We see the women finally beginning to get what they want from the men in their lives, who knew that they could have so much fun. All the stories are concise and well written, my favourite story is LORD de BHERE'S LADY  it is loosely based on Goldilocks and the three bears . When Isabelle's husband comes home with a proposition that can not be denied . When the desires of the night become carnal and new things and sensations are brought out and loved . Each story is crafted with such a a complexity you will love the short stories . 

    This is a fun collection that will have you blushing and reading well into the night . They are fun fast reads that you will enjoy. We all love our fairy tales but some of us like our fairy tales a little twisted
