HAPPY RELEASE DAY THERESA SEDERHOLT

   Good morning my peeps, hope your day is going swimmingly and you are having a fantastic summer so far. Its half over and there are still plenty of books to get you through the long lazy days of August. Today I have for you the third book in the The Black Book series, BLOOD VOWS by Theresa Sederholt. 

                         BOOK BLURB

 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.

                    MY REVIEW 

   Michelina has come a long way but to save her best friend she will have to dig deep to do the right thing. She never though that she could be like her father she never knew, but when it comes to her best friend she will go to the ends of the earth to find her and get her back. As she comes to terms of what it means to become the head of the Amato family, she realizes the blood won't wash off that easily. As things start to come together and tempers start to flare. Her stepbrother has not so good plans for the family and lives are put jeopardy. Will Michelina be able to rise up and get those who want to hurt her and take on the heads of the family. 

  Michelina and the family are back and wow what a transformation they take on. Michelina is really coming into her own in this book. I thought that she was very naive in the first two books but I was blown away in this book. She really gets a back bone and becomes such a force to be reconned with. She will do anything including murder to get her best friend back from the slimy stepbrother. She does have her sweet moments but we do get to see her transformation into the leader of the family. Luca well he is still wanting to protect but he is also having to come to terms with the fact he is part of the family and is torn between the FBI and his loyalty of being the son of a crime boss.  Agosta is coming to terms that he has to make a decision about not be relevant anymore , he knows deep down inside it is time for a change but he still wants to be helpful to his family. Ok now the character I really want to talk about . Jess, I now understand the way she is . We find out what happened in her past that made me want to hug her and tell her that everything will be ok. She has hidden a dark past that made her the way she is. Michelina and Jess are more like sisters with what what on in Jess's past and the dark secret that they share. You really start to care and love these characters with each new book. 

  This is the third book in the series and I will say it is a little darker then the other two. The author takes through some dark pasts to bring us to why the character acts the way they do. The story is intense and you will get sucked in big time. I am really starting to love this series and really enjoyed reading . We do get some romance but we also ger a lot of edge of your seat action. Yes it does end in a cliffhanger but the next book comes out pretty fast so you won't have to wait too long . So if you like a mafia story with a twist check out this series . It would be a great series for the weekend at the lake . You could read all three books in a weekend. Check them out

GOOD TUESDAY ALL

   Good Tuesday my peeps, hope you are staying cool in this unbelievable heat we are having . I hope you all are getting some great summer reading done. Today I have for you book in the Midlife Mysteries series THE MIDNIGHT GARDEN  by Hp Mallory

                           BOOK BLURB

 PHILIPPA:

I haven’t seen Inspector Stirling for weeks… at his insistence, not mine.

But when Spencer and I stumble across the most bizarre of gardens situated right in the middle of Highgate Cemetery and then very nearly get trapped within it?

Well, the inspector is the first person who needs to know about it!

The only problem is the blasted man won’t listen to me!

And when I insist that his most recent missing person case is tied to this very strange garden?

As always, he refuses to allow me to get involved.

But if there’s one thing I don’t enjoy doing, it’s taking ‘no’ for an answer…

SPENCER:

There are very few things in life that bring me much pleasure.

Truly, I’m always looking for that next adventure, the next daring escapade that might bring me the excitement I so desire.

So when my little Pip and I come across a ghostly garden hidden in London’s foremost graveyard, well my interest is certainly piqued.

While the garden is the newest of mysteries for the two of us to solve, there is nothing quite like the mystery of this beguiling woman’s heart.

And that is the one adventure above all others that thrills me to my very core.

                   MY REVIEW 

 Welcome back to London, Phillipa hasn't seen Inspector Sterling in some time and has been spending her time with Spencer and also trying to harness her power, When out walking one evening Phillipa and Spencer come across an eerie garden right in the middle of Highgate. Which Phillipa tells Inspector Sterling and Spencer wants to solve the mystery of the garden, 'Will Phillipa be able to figure out her gift and solve the mystery with out getting harmed in any way and will Inspector Sterling finally come to terms with his feelings and will Spencer get the adventure he wants, 

  Phillipa and the boys are back and actually funnier then ever. Phillipa is still her strong self with opinions and theories on what is happening. She is working hard on harnessing her powers and getting herself entangled in yet another mystery. She is one strong willed woman who knows what she wants . Grant , Inspector Sterling , well he is still really uptight and stand offish but things come to light about his feelings for Phillpa and it is causing him distraction. I love how his uptight persona is starting to slip a bit when it comes to her. Now lets talk about Spencer he is such a scallywag who loves a good mystery but also loves the chase of Phillipa. He truly wants to spend time with her but is always on the look out for something better. I truly like where the author is taking these characters and how she is building them and turning them into more complex characters , 

 This is the start of a new mystery story arc and it starts of with a bang .The author has us on the edge of our seats with all the twists and turns that happen through out the book The characters are well written and becoming more and more complex with each book.  The story does end in a cliff hanger but I can't wait to see what happens . If you love books like Bridgerton  this is the book for you but this book has a touch of paranormal that will have you reading all night long . Check it out .

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO LISA KESSLER

   Good morning my peeps hope you all had a great weekend and stayed cool. Today I have for you book three in the Salem Pack series WOLF'S WOMAN by Lisa Kessler 

                          BOOK BLURB 

 Wyatt Rivers has always had a big heart when it comes to his pack, but love is a little more complicated for a werewolf. Now that his new Alpha has found his one true mate, he’s pushing the rest of the pack to do the same. Wyatt has touched plenty of women skin to skin over the years, and his wolf has remained silent. He didn’t expect that to change the night he visited the Grand club in Boston and hooked up with a leggy redhead.

Ashleigh Merrit has a secret that forced her to give up on relationships, but she can’t bring herself to swear off men completely. A one night stand with a tall sexy man in a club couldn’t hurt. No strings attached. She didn’t even tell him her real name. But when this third grade teacher from Salem brings her class on a field trip to the Munro Manor Farms, she comes face to face with the hot guy who rocked her world.

After kicking himself for allowing his mate to slip through his fingers, fate delivers her right to his doorstep, but someone is killing werewolves in the Salem Pack, and Wyatt will do anything to keep his mate safe, even if it means rejecting the only woman he will ever love.

                    MY REVIEW 

 

   Wyatt just wanted to blow off some steam but boy he wasn't expecting to find his other half, his mate . Ashleigh just wanted a one night stand, she doesn't do relationships at all. When they meet sparks fly but how do they find each other again. There were no strings attached one night stand. Until the day that she shows up at Munroe's farm and walks smack into the middle of Wyatt and his twin brother. When fate throws them a curve ball Wyatt and Ashleigh are thrown together when someone is after her and also killing the members of the Salem Pack. Will they be able to stay together or will Wyatt send her away to keep her safe . 

 Ok lets dive right into these characters, all i can say is holy wow. Wyatt is the guy you want to have on your side . Not only is he sexy but he is a good guy who would do anything to keep you safe . But. like any good hero he is also burdened by the past and also what will happen. Ashleigh well she is actually kind of a mess, she has sworn off men well kind of . She does like to have a one night stand every now and then. She is actually a sweet woman who has been hurt in her life and also is having to hide a secret that she is scared of. She does grow into her own by the end of the book which is so great to see . We also get to meet Micah a jaguar shifter from if I am not mistaken from the Sedona pack ( a cross over from the that series ). He is all about protection and is there to keep the pack safe during the full moon. He is kind of mysterious but oh so sexy. He fits right in with the Salem pack and doing his best to keep those safe and secure. The rest of the pack is back along with the witches of the Coven of light. We really get to see them all come together as a family when things start to go wrong . 

  Even though this is the third book in the series you really can get lost in the book if you haven't read the other books. The characters are so well written and you will fall for each of them. The author has a way to take her characters and put them through the wringer but have them come out better and stronger then ever . There is a love story with action thrown in for fun.  Reading books from this author are like coming home for a big hug after you have been away for awhile . So if you want a fun beach read for the last part of summer check it out You will not be disappointed
