ITS ALMOST 2020

 Good morning I can't believe its almost over 2019 and it seems like I have the best books for last . Today I have the fourth book in Peyton Clark series . IF YOU'VE GOT IT HAUNT IT by H.P Mallory .

                            BOOK BLURB 

  
Having two men in your life, vying for your attention, is hard enough, but what if one of those men is dead?

Peyton Clark moved to New Orleans with two thoughts in mind--to escape a bad marriage and to fix up the huge mansion her great aunt left her. While her bad marriage becomes a thing of the past, her ownership of the house on Prytania Street is threatened. By whom? None other than a relative of Drake's, the ghost who happens to be haunting Peyton's house. Luke Montague is the embodiment of Drake in everything but disposition and he's proving to be a big thorn in Peyton's side.

To make matters worse, Peyton's health and her very sanity is suffering by some unseen force. Visions of ghosts dance in her head, warping her understanding of what's real and what isn't. Furthermore, these visions prove to be a warning of a larger threat that's impacting the city--antiques are going missing, stolen by the ghosts of children.

When Peyton gets involved, she'll face more than she bargained for--including witches, possessed dolls, a strange dog, ghostly pirates and her teenage niece.

Join Peyton Clark on her fourth adventure and prepare yourself for an ending that will knock your socks off!

                         MY REVIEW 
   Welcome back to New Orleans where the ghosts live among the living . Peyton is loving what she is doing . She has two men in her life Ryan the sexy next door neighbour and Drake the sexy ghost that inhabits her house . He once spent time in her body . She is torn between these two men , now lets throw in a niece who coming for a visit . To make the whole situation worse she is feeling horrible . Her health is declining and it seems like she is starting to go crazy. With the visions and Ryan drifting away from her . Her health declining and a dog that seems to help her out when she is feeling crappy . Then there is the mystery of antiques going missing being stolen by ghosts of children . Can she survive and will she ever get the happily ever after she so deserves . 

    I really liked this series I love the characters . Peyton is a feisty woman who can see ghosts . She is a really fun character . I really liked her and guess what I really like her with Drake . Who is dapper and suave . He will melt your heart as you read him  Ryan is a sweet guy too but sometimes he can be a real idiot and you kind of want to hit him over the head cause well he is a male . Like Drake he is tall and sexy as sin . We do get some recurring characters back Lovie is back and trying to keep Peyton safe . We also get a new addition to the family Maggie Peyton's cousin . Don't know what to think of her, I believe there is more to her then we know and I hope the next book will bring her out more .

  This is one a newer series by the author and I truly like it . The characters are well written and complex and you truly get invested in them . I love the fact that the story is set in New Orleans one of the most haunted citys in the world . The author takes us on a rollercoaster ride through out this book and you will gladly go along for the ride . The story will suck you i from  the very first chapter. You will get invested in the characters and you will want to hug them or slap them upside the head with a frying pan .  Oh and the ending will make you go what the heck . Its a great ending people and I so can't wait to read the next installment . So if you want a really good series to start your 2020 check it out . I promise you will love it .

MERRY CHIRSTMAS

 MERRY CHRISTMAS  to one and all today I have a Christmas instalove story for you . UNDERNEATH MY INNOCENCE  by Cathy Jackson .


                           BOOK BLURB 


An Instalove Sweet Erotic Christmas Romance

Librarian Natasha Ergle has dedicated life to her quiet occupation. Dating one man left her unfulfilled. She ended the relationship, needing more to satisfy her desires.

Infrastructure Architect Quentin Brightburn is a long-standing library patron who’s come to admire Natasha. He’s fascinated with Natasha and knows she’s missing something to perfect their relationship.

Construction company owner Jasper Roberts is seeking the love of a good woman. Natasha could be the one, but she comes with another man who’s already in love with her.

Which man will Natasha choose, or does she even have to? She wants the love of two men, but what would it mean for their future?

Publisher's Note: Underneath My Innocence is an instalove Christmas Romance with explicit MFM scenes, graphic language, and voyeurism. HEA certified. 18+ sexual content.

                       MY REVIEW 
   When Natasha Ergle , a sweet librarian working hard at her job falls in love with the man of her dreams . Quentin Brightburn . But even as sexy and strong he is there is something that is missing from their lives . When construction company owner Jasper Roberts walks into the library. They both knew that they found the other part of their relationship. When Quentin invites Jasper home their lives will change forever .

 The characters in this novella are so different then the characters usually write about . These three characters are well written and have a complexity to them . Natasha is a super sweet woman who is well liked and she wants more . Quentin is domineering sexy alpha male who loves he with all his heart but knows there is something missing .  Jasper is a loving man who wants to be loved and to love . When they come together they are sweet and loving and the perfect couples . There is also the  characters that will try and tear them apart. But love does overcome any negativity that comes their way , 

   This is a truly different book from the books that the author usually writes . These characters are instantly in love and they all get their happily ever after . The story is sweet and sexy . I will say it took me just a bit to get into the story , but over all I truly enjoyed the author's first attempt into writing instalove , erotica . For the authors first attempt she did a good job and I would read more of this style from the author . I love happily ever afters .

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

  Good Thursday all , hope you are nice and warm today and having a good morning before the hustle and bustle starts . Today I have a new to me author and her new novella . PROPHECY CHOSEN ( An Oracle's Path ) by  Shannon Pemrick


                           BOOK BLURB 



A dragon’s trust. A clan divided. A god’s command.

Half-elf Oracle Aviana must complete an impossible task—unify her broken clan. Fractured during conflicts centuries before her time, they’ve lost their ways, causing Aviana’s existence, once seen as sacred, to be a living hell. At twenty years of age, and now an adult according to their customs, all she wants now is for them to see her as worth more than what’s in her blood—and the dragon god, Akorith, has just the plan.

Connected since birth to the mighty entity, his whispers have followed her dreams, speaking of an era long forgotten—one he needs her to revive, or a great darkness will consume them all. To do so, she’ll have to complete a task her mother started before her disappearance: gain the trust of two dragons who now see her as the enemy.

The only problem? She’s not permitted to leave the clan’s territory. If she dares to make any movement outside of town, she’s instantly monitored. And such a task, even from a god, would be seen as treasonous. To make her task even harder, her mixed-blood nature begins altering her physical appearance, ensuring she’ll gain more enemies than allies if she doesn’t learn to conceal or control it.

And when she finally meets these two dragons, whom her mother had come to care for greatly, Aviana must make the most difficult choice of her life…

-----

Note: Like all of Shannon Pemrick’s work, the Oracle’s Path series contains strong language, violence, substance use, love scenes(including LGBTQ pairings), and difficult situations.

                         MY REVIEW 
     Oracle Aviana has a difficult task ahead of her . She has a clan to unite and find her place in the world.
But things aren't as they are . She can't leave the clan's territory she is monitored where ever she goes . Then she meets two dragons who her mother has grown fond of . Will Aviana make the choose that will help her or will the choice be the most difficult of her life . 

   Aviana is a very strong character , she has had a hard time of it but she comes out fighting and kicking , She is half elf and half dragon. She is trying to fit in but she is meant for more . She is destined to be more .  The characters are well written and complex.  You will love them all as you meet them in the book . The owlcats are my favourite they are so cute . You will love them . 

  This is a quick novella that will take you on an adventure .  The author introduces us to these characters to us and we get invested in them from the beginning . You will care for them and want Aviana to succeed . You will want to jump into the first book after you finish this prequel which I suggest so you can understand what is going on. I did get a little confused in a couple of areas where  I had to reread so I could figure out what was going on . Over all I did enjoy this book and I am going to get the first book in the series to see how things go and read further into their story . So if you want a good dragon book with cool characters and a good story line this is the book for you

OK PEEPS ITS TWO WEEKS TILL CHRISTMAS

 Ok my peeps are you guys ready for Christmas yet . Only two weeks and counting I can't believe it snuck up on us so fast . If you are in search of a series to give the reader on your list. This might be the series for you .  The Sacred Oath Series by Plum Pascal aka HP Mallory. DRAGAN  A reverse harem is the second book in the series .

                          BOOK BLURB 


BOOK TWO in the Sacred Oath Reverse Harem Paranormal Romance Series. Book 1 is ANGEL

I thought I was a pure-bred angel, but I soon find out I’m so much more…

When huge, black, rubbery wings shoot out of my back, I learn I’m part Succubus, part demon.

Even with this epiphany, I’m still no closer to understanding who I am, where I came from, or why I’m missing my memories.

Worst of all, the one person I trusted above all others, Dragan, the King of Shadow, turned on me. You’d think the fact that we both possess shadow magic would bring us closer, but it doesn’t.

Learning I’m a crossbreed, Dragan shuns me. Where once we shared passionate embraces, now he’s coldly suspicious and distant. And the King of Nature, Cambion, treats me even worse, rebuking me with expressions of disgust and rude comments.

Strangely, Baron, the King of Death, is the only one who accepts what I am. He says it’s because we are one and the same—the shadow magic that animates him, also animates me.

Good thing I have an ally in Baron because I’m stranded in an unfriendly world I know little about. Everywhere I turn, enemies are after me, eager to return me to the King of Angels, Variant, who wants me dead.

With the way things are going, I wonder if Dragan and Cambion still believe I’m the answer to defeating Variant or maybe they’re more inclined to deliver me to my fate at Variant’s hands…

Excerpt:

###
Dragan,
The King of Shadow


I’ve fought my closeness with Eilish for this reason. Maybe it’s why I reacted so badly at discovering she’s more than she is—that she’s Succubus. Maybe my reaction was just an excuse to crawl back into my hardened shell, to refuse to be close to her.
No, I tell myself. Your reaction was born from the fact that she fooled you. She seduced you and you fell for it, because that’s what Succubae do.
Yes, I know only too well what Succubae do—how they destroy a man, how they suck from him his very will to live.
It’s hard to be near her, especially when only a few moments ago I was reminding myself how dangerous closeness was. I continue to question who the true Eilish is—an innocent angel, or a highly deceptive demon?

###
Cambion,
The King of Nature


She appears so alone out here. So small. Not the creature I’ve become so wary of, but a confused girl trying to navigate a world of which she knows very little.
Regardless, my sympathy is in short supply, and I refuse to reveal the softer side of my feelings toward her. Ever since Variant’s betrayal, trust is not a commodity in which I’m willing to trade.

###
Baron,
The King of Death


She’s clearly a crossbreed. And as a crossbreed, I’m convinced, she’s all the more powerful, able to draw on the powers of light and dark. Furthermore, I must also admit this darkness within her appeals to the darkness within me. I knew there was something about her that called to me.
Unlike Dragan, I’m not attracted to her angelic nature. Her lightness might entrance him, but it does nothing for me.

###
Eilish


Large hands grip my wrists as the right side of my face bashes into a large and broad chest. When I look up, I find Dragan glaring down at me.
I’m relieved.
He’s furious.
“What are you thinking?” he demands. He doesn’t drop his hold around my wrists but continues to clutch them, as though he’s afraid I’ll take off if he releases me…
                        MY REVIEW 
  Dragan is the king of shadow and he and Eliish have a bond that has now been broken because of what she is part angel and part succubae .  They were so close but now he has pushed her away and into the arms of another king sent to keep her safe . Will they be able to get past the past of Dragan and will they be able to keep her safe . That is their destiny and they will win but will their hearts come out in one piece . 

 This is Dragan's book and boy what a book it is . I really liked this character from the very first moment I read him in book one . He is sexy oh so sexy and brooding . We also find out more about what happened in his past and why he ended things with Elish.  There are moments in this book i really just want to pull his head out of his well you all know where . shake him and tell him to get his head back in the game .  Elish this poor girl is now more confused then she was in the first book. She still doesn't have her memories but she has found out that she does have a demon side to her . You just really want to either shake her and tell her to toughen up or wrap her in a blanket and hide her from the world.  Cambion and Baron are also back . Cambion well he really needs to lighten up a bit or he is going to get the slap upside the head . Yes you can tell these two men need and attitude adjustment . Baron actually grew on me in this book . He has grown and Revenant aka Baron is a really complicated man . You don't know if he is really bad or good . These characters are so well written and complex . They work well together . 

   In this book we learn so much about Dragan and why he is acting the way he is  and pushing Elish away . The author takes us on a very bumpy ride through this book . Your emotions will be all over the place. One moment you will be laughing along with the characters and the next moment you will have a tear rolling down your cheek or blushing from the hotness that is pouring out of the book.  The author will draw you in and make you care about  these characters before she rips out our heart and then repairs it . I read this book in a evening . I couldn't put it down. So if you want a great series for the winter this series is for you . Hot sexy brooding men and the woman who is more and could love them with all her heart . If she gets her memories back.

WOW ONLY 17 DAYS AND COUNTING

  Good Sunday all hope all is alright and you aren't running all over the place Christmas shopping . Today I have a Christmas novella for you from Betty Shreffler and her book COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS .


                          BOOK BLURB 


It’s just a bet.
Ten days until Christmas and all I have to do is avoid my roommate’s delightfully wrapped package.
When the countdown to Christmas is over, I’ll be collecting my own present—a generous stack of pretty green bills.
It doesn’t matter that every time he looks at me with those gorgeous hazel eyes, my knees quake.
It doesn’t matter how every time he takes his shirt off, my heart skips a beat.
Despite what my body wants, I know to keep this charming heartbreaker in the friend zone.
This should be an easy ten days, that is until my roommate shares his best kept secret.
Now the countdown to Christmas has begun, and all he wants for Christmas is me.

                       MY REVIEW 
   All it is is a bet and only for ten days. Thats the montra that Sophia keeps telling herself as the man of her dreams moves into her spare room . The brother of her boss and a co worker . Jaxson is a walking dream of sex appeal and sweetness . Can they keep their hands , lips and other body parts off each other until christmas or will the boss be right and will Sophia get the love she deserves and needs . 

  The characters in this novella are well written but I just feel like they could of been a little more complex to bring out more of them . Jaxson well he is cocky and he knows it . He really is almost in most people's eyes a playboy . There is a softness around him I kind of wished the author would of brought out a little more . Sophia well to me sometimes she just comes off a little naive but she does have a heart of gold . She could of held off falling for Jaxson. They are good characters and I just want them to be a little more flushed out . 

  This is a fast little read that you can read while making  your Christmas turkey . The author takes us on a fun filled little journey at Christmas . The characters are written well and the story line is a fun read . You will have a few blushing moments where the kindle will start to get hot in your hands . I just felt a little flat and I know its a novella but I just think that it could of been flushed out just a little bit more and maybe had some conflict before they found their happily ever after . Saying that though over all I  truly enjoyed this fast little read and would say if you want a sexy little read for the holiday season check it out

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO VICTORIA ZAK

Good Friday morning everyone . Today is release day for a new series by Victoria Zak . EINAR Breaking the Sea ( Lords of Valhalla book 1)

                            BOOK BLURB

 
He had something to prove.

Einar, the youngest son of Jarl Rognvald ambitiously sails to uncharted territory to prove he can do the impossible: regain his family’s land from the merciless, pirating Danes. When the Danes don’t leave peacefully, it will take an act of Odin for Einar to maintain his iron grip across the perilous island.
Stranded in the Kingdom of Alba after a surprise attack, little does Einar know that Thor’s hammer is about to strike his heart. A brief encounter with a warrior tribe, led by a red-haired lass and her sword, could be his undoing.

A warrior at heart

If watching her father die by the hands of Northmen wasn’t bad enough, the newly crowned king of Alba has bartered a truce with them. Maeve Donald, chieftain of her clan, would rather kill the Norsemen than be forced to be allies, but when the Danes capture her brother, they may hold the key to saving him.

Attracted to the dark, brooding Viking Einar, Maeve’s loyalty to her clan is tested when he offers a plan to rescue her brother. To save him, she must reconcile a lifetime of loathing with her unwanted desire for a heathen—or risk losing everything she loves.

                           MY REVIEW 
    Einar a young Viking warrior is doing the impossible and sailing back to get his homelands back from the Danes that will not leave . After a storm he and his mans are stranded on the aisle of Alba and is struck in the heart by a fierce warrior princess and her tribe of warriors . Maeve is attracted to the brooding Viking but is scared to give her heart away after watching her father die . Will they be able to find each other before its too late and will their love bring them together or push them apart. 

    Ok I am just going to say it right here right now Einar is swoon worthy . He is strong and oh so sexy . He is brooding but underneath he honestly has a heart of gold who will keep those he loves safe .  Maeve she is feisty and wants to avenge her fathers death. She is also hurting deep inside . She wants to love but is scared to . She can fight just as good as any man in her clan . They are such well written characters on their own . Together they are unstoppable . I truly loved these characters and the all the characters in this book . There are a few to mention but you will fall in love one or all the characters . 

   Ok I have read other Viking stories but never liked them as much as I did this story. The characters are well written and complex , you can't help but fall in love with them . The story is complex and you get sucked in from the very first chapter . The author takes us on an emotional roller coaster ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat . There are moments where you actually want to smack each of the main characters upside the head cause they are being so stubborn.  Your kindle will also get a little bit hot with some of the scenes . There were moments I think I actually blushed .  This is going to be a good series and can't wait for the second book in the series . So if you want a great book to read this Christmas check out the heathen and warrior princess in Einar . You will not be disappointed .

ITS TIME FOR CHRISTMAS

 Good Thursday all , today I am going to start my Christmas book reviews . Today I have a nice Christmas novella by Linda Thomas - Sundstrom . BRIGHT STAR (A magical Christmas tale )


                            BOOK BLURB 

 
This Christmas...can wishes come true?

Immortal Dylan McCay has vowed to protect the secret origins of his species at all costs--until he meets Savannah, a passionate astronomer on the brink of discovering the elusive Christmas Star... and finds out a few things about the simple joys of the season.

                          MY REVIEW 
   When you wish upon a star at Christmas can your wish come true . Well thats what can happen if you believe . Savannah an astronomer , is on the brink of finding the that elusive Christmas star. Dylan McCay has to stop her and make her forget the star and her research. He has to protect the origins of that very star . As he finds out there is so much more to the season and will he and Savannah be able to have the simple joys of the season or will they be torn apart . 

    I simply adore the characters in this novella . Dylan is a sweet and sexy guy who is more then just a sexy guy . He is more and ladies you will swoon over Dylan . You will want to help keep him as your own. Savannah is feisty and smart but there is a sadness that has her heart . She really has noone in her life and all she has is her research  on the christmas star . We really see her blossom when after meeting Dylan. They are such good characters but together they are super hot . 

   This novella is a wonderful spin on the Christmas star and making a  Christmas wish on that star. The author takes us on a romantic journey of what can happen on just one night . When two lonely hearts come together  and make that one wish for happiness . This maybe a short novella but the author doesn't hold back on the romance and she does put her characters through a bit of heart ache before the happily ever after . The characters are well written and complex . You will love them and want a Dylan McCay of your own . She also weaves a tale that makes you believe in Christmas wishes and miracles . This is a story to read by the fire with a nice glass of wine . So check it out .

WELCOME TO MONDAY

 Well its Monday and wow its December 2 already . Today I have an Epic Fantasy for you . DEATH WARDEN  by CJ Stilling .


                            BOOK BLURB 


A teenage assassin. An impossible choice. The fate of everything hangs in the balance…


Sixteen-year-old Reen swore she’d never take another life. Divinely selected to assassinate a few in order to save many, she learned to jump from shadow to shadow and claim her victims without question… until she was ordered to kill the boy she loved. But when an ancient plague returns threatening to infect everyone she knows, she is forced to resume her deadly duties.

Battling a disease that turns people into nightmarish monsters, Reen must track down and terminate those responsible before the city falls, and the evil spreads beyond its borders. But the closer she gets to the source, the more she uncovers sinister secrets that will shake the foundations of her world and everything she believes.

Can Reen defend her realm without losing her soul?

Death Warden is an exhilarating YA fantasy. If you like strong heroines, compelling magic, and dark secrets, then you’ll love C.J. Stilling’s imaginative tale.

                       MY REVIEW
  Reen is a special soul at sixteen she is selected to assassinate a few in order to save the many . She learned to jump from shadow to shadow and kill without mercy until the day she is suppose to kill the boy she loves . Then when an ancient disease threatens to take lives she resumes her killing . She must track down and kill those responsible . Will she be able to defend her realm without loosing herself in the process . 

   There are so many characters in this book . They are all well written and complex . Reen is a streetwise and sometimes too smart for her own good character . She is an orphan who has lived a hard life in her short life . The other characters are not soft characters either , they are just as street wise as Reen . They will draw you in and you will care for them . You will either want to hug them and tell them everything will be ok or smack them upside the head to smarten them up . You will fall in love with all of them . 

   I will tell you right now this is a long story but it doesn't get boring . The author takes us on an epic rollercoaster ride of emotions . The story bounces from the past and present but it flows so easily you will not get lost at all . The characters are well written and the story line is well thought out . There were a couple of things that made me think what were the real plans to kill the scourge or kill the wardens by other wardens .  Over all I really enjoyed this story and I did get invested in the characters . This would be a great story for adults and older YA teenagers .  If you enjoy fantasy this will be the book for you . Check it out and settle down for a good read this winter season.

HAPPY FRIDAY ALL

Well its Friday and it is also Black Friday . If you are not out getting the good deals and want to stay home I have a really good book for you . ZOMBIES ON THE BLOCK  by Mike Evans .


                            BOOK BLURB

 
When the flu season struck America it impaired the population crippling what the collected power of the people were capable of doing to fight the outbreak. Unfortunately, it was not the same for everyone. There were three types of people. The first had no diseases, the second had the flu, and the third were busy fostering a zombie virus that was going to bring the nation to its knees.

This story isn't about heroes, there are no guarantees. This is a story about Mike and his family, and what they have to endure to survive. If they want to see another day they are going to need the help of their neighbors and friends.

The situations leaving the main characters in the depths of hell are only outweighed by the comical situations that they get put in. There's no telling what or who is going to survive. Those that survive must fight or flight and in some cases do both. Civilization will be something new when dawn's light falls on the Earth for the second day of the apocalypse.

                            MY REVIEW 
  When the flu strikes America , crippling most of the population . There were three types of people , ones that didn't get sick , those that just had the flu and then there were those that well lets just say turned into zombies . There aren't winners or losers in outbreak everyone is a potential zombie . This is a story of a neighbourhood that are going to fight with everything they have . There is no way to know if they are going to survive till next week or even survive the next 24 hours . They may be in the middle of hell on earth but sometimes there is nothing to do but laugh . Will the family survive and find their way around the apocalypse . 

   The characters in this story are hilariously written . The author has used members of his own family as characters . They are well written and fun to read. Each neighbour in the neighbour hood has quirks and foibles that will have you laughing all the way through the apocalypse . I will have to say my favourite characters and the grandparents . They are funny and they also kick some butt to get to their kids and grand kids . Also another real great character is Holly , Tony's girlfriend , I honestly hope she kicks butt for a long time . 

  This book is a fun filled zombie book . The author writes zombies with such a flair and in this book he has added more tongue in cheek sassiness.  The story is well written and the characters are well written and hilarious .  I like how the author takes us on a ride from the very first chapter . You honestly feel like you are there fighting right along side of them and you really want them to survive . There are moments that will have you laughing out loud and moments where you will be oh oh run fast . There is one thing I wish the story was just a little bit longer and the characters were just a little bit more flushed out . Over all I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for next book in the series . Check out for your black Friday reading .

GOOD WEDNESDAY ALL

   Good Wednesday all today I have an interesting book for you , THE DEEP  by Rivers Solomon

                            BOOK BLURB 

 
The water-breathing descendants of African slave women tossed overboard have built their own underwater society—and must reclaim the memories of their past to shape their future in this brilliantly imaginative novella inspired by the Hugo Award–nominated song “The Deep” from Daveed Diggs’s rap group clipping

Yetu holds the memories for her people—water-dwelling descendants of pregnant African slave women thrown overboard by slave owners—who live idyllic lives in the deep. Their past, too traumatic to be remembered regularly, is forgotten by everyone, save one—the historian. This demanding role has been bestowed on Yetu.

Yetu remembers for everyone, and the memories, painful and wonderful, traumatic and terrible and miraculous, are destroying her. And so, she flees to the surface, escaping the memories, the expectations, and the responsibilities—and discovers a world her people left behind long ago.

Yetu will learn more than she ever expected to about her own past—and about the future of her people. If they are all to survive, they’ll need to reclaim the memories, reclaim their identity—and own who they really are.

Inspired by a song produced by the rap group Clipping for the This American Life episode “We Are In The Future,” The Deep is vividly original and uniquely affecting.

                         MY REVIEW 
   Yetu holds the memories of her people , a tribe of underwater dwellers coming from the pregnant slave woman thrown over board from the slave ships . The only one that can remember is the historian and that falls on Yetu. Even though those memories are slowly destroying her . She flees to the surface to find the world that they left behind so long ago. Where she will learn more about her past and also about the future of her people . 

  I had mixed feeling about the characters in this book . Yetu is a complicated character and honestly sometimes she was just a little bit hard to understand. She is strong and wants no more to be the memory keeper . We see her grow when she comes to the surface . 

   I honestly didn't realize that this book is written from a song. The author does take us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions . The characters are well written and you will either like Yetu or dislike her but she does grow on you. I just wish that the author would of built up the story and characters just a little more . I felt like it just fell flat in a few parts and it kind of dragged in those areas . Over all i enjoyed the book and the ideas of what a transaltantic slave trade was like and how harsh it was . If you like a good story on the history of merpeople and how they came into being , check it out .

WELCOME TO THE CURSE OF THE BLACK CAT

  Good Tuesday all , I hope your week is going good and if you are celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend you are getting ready . Today I have a new author to introduce you to and her book . THE CURSE OF THE BLACK CAT by Lou Wilham


                            BOOK BLURB 

   

Alrik has two choices: Spend eternity eating mice, or learn to accept himself for who he is.

As his eighteenth birthday draws near, prince Alrik—heir to the throne of Edan—must choose a wife. But when his first kiss with a beautiful princess leaves him feeling cold, he knows that although it is his duty, he cannot love a woman. In a fit of panic, he seeks out the aid of the witch Gwydion. The witch, however, has other plans.
After hundreds of years as a cat, Alrik must learn to accept himself and who he loves or face the rest of eternity as a cat. Luckily, New York City’s dumpsters are ripe for the picking. With food from around the world to choose from, he finds himself drawn to one restaurant in particular.
Crystal Tokyo—a restaurant specializing in Japanese food—is Yuuki’s first big job as a chef, and he loves it. So, what happens when Yuuki decides to befriend the black cat hanging out in Crystal Tokyo’s back alley?
This story is perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell's Simon Snow Series, Ashley Poston's The Princess and the Fangirl, and A.W. Jantha's Hocus Pocus.

                          MY REVIEW 
   Alrik is a prince and turning eighteen, when he first kisses a young princess and feels nothing he must decide if it right to marry her . He runs off and with the help of Witch Gwydion , who like any witch has a plan of her own . Be a cat for a hundred years and learn to love himself as he is or stay a cat for eternity. After he finds himself in New York where there is food in every dumpster he is drawn to a Japanese restaurant and to the young chef . Who takes a liking to the little black cat and befriends him . What will happen when the truth comes out and will the curse be lifted and they find the love they both need . 

  This is a truly sweet story the characters are well written and you will care for them deeply. Alrik is a sweet guy who is scared of what would happen in his life if he takes duty over love. He does have a shy streak and you will like him from the beginning . Yuuki is a sensitive guy who you will instantly fall in love with . He is a hard working and wants to be loved the way he should be loved . Both characters are sensitive and sweet . There are moments where you just wanted to wrap both of them up in a blanket and love them back to happiness . There is some bad people that come into both their lives . I wont tell you what happens but you will want to hug them both so much afterwards . But I think my favourite character is Gwydion . She is one hilarious witch , she does such fun things to get the boys together . 

   This is a short read that you can read in an evening . The author has written a sweet and funny story about two lost souls finding themselves and each other . Their interactions both as cat and man and man and man are sweet . The story is a read that you can read in an evening . I really enjoyed the story and the characters and I had a smile on my face the whole time reading . The story flowed well and the characters are well written .  So if you want a sweet romance with some magic entwined check out this story . You will not be disappointed .

WELCOME FINALLY TO FRIDAY

Woohoo we made it to Friday . Today I have a new release for you by Robbie Cox . BEAR NECESSITIES ( the Bull Creek Chronicles book 3 )

                            BOOK BLURB 

 
An mission that haunts him, a little girl who needs him, and a stranger who won’t leave him alone.

Existing isn’t living, but for Ezra Havlin, existing is enough. Once a member of Para-Force, Ezra was in the midst of the action, adventure around every corner as the paranormal special ops team protected those unable to protect themselves. That is, until one mission went sideways, and a child in his custody was murdered.

On the outskirts of Bull Creek, Josh Rayburn discovers a hermit living off the bare necessities of life, if that could be called living. Now, Josh is determined to bring this sullen hermit into the Bull Creek family whether the man wants it or not.

However, for Ezra, the past returns with a gut punch when members of the Para-Force team arrives with another case and a another child. Can Josh convince Ezra that people are a vital part of the Bear Necessities of life in time to save the little girl’s life?

                           MY REVIEW 
   When Ezra Havlin is trying forget the mission that almost got him killed and killed the young girl he was suppose to protect . Now living off the land and not wanting anyone around . When Josh Rayburn finds him , he does his best to get Ezra into Bull Creek . Without a lot of success until the day that the para - force invades his space with another case and another child that needs to be saved . Will Josh be able to convince  Ezra to come into the community and help save the girl . 

    I love the characters in this book,  Ezra is a grouchy bear that has been through a really bad trauma that has shaped him . He is actually a sweet guy under it all .The rest of the para force is back and trying to save a young girl .  You will fall in love with all of these characters and the town that takes in those that need to get lost to be found.

  This is a fast read and you will sucked into the story the characters are well written . The author takes us back Bull Creek and its cast of characters .  The story is complex and you will be wanting to hug Ezra and then you will want to slap him upside the head because he is so pig headed . This is an emotional story that will have you wanting more from him and the rest of Bull Creek . I love these stories and I can't wait to see what the author does in the next installment . I am hoping crossing fingers we get a Colton story sometime . So if you want a emotional read with lots of snarkiness and sass . Oh and a possessed or not possessed doll this is the story for your winter reading list .
