Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

The Bond Once Broken is the sequel to The Girl Once Known by R M Demeester, so it’s best to read it first.

These dysfunctional characters, Sherry and Sierra, pass their legacy on to their children. Secrets and lies have followed them from childhood to adulthood. Sherry has worked hard to pull herself together, but Sierra cannot let the past go.

The Bond Once Broken is a complex psychological thriller that will have your head spinning, so brace yourself. You won’t want to stop reading once you start.

GOODREADS BLURB

Reading The Girl Once Known is strongly recommended before reading The Bond Once Broken.

In the aftermath of Mira’s hit-and-run accident, The Girl Once Known takes this dysfunctional family for another spin in its emotional, suspenseful sequel, The Bond Once Broken.

Sherry and Sierra, connected by a troubled childhood, have children who live out their mothers’ legacy.

While one of Sherry’s daughters seems to break free from the cycle of dysfunction, Sherry herself strives to leave behind a past she’d rather forget. Meanwhile, Sierra remains chained to the past, driven by a desperate need to right a deep-seated wrong from her childhood, which leads to a life of emptiness.

The tension between Sherry and Sierra reaches a boiling point when a reunion escalates their animosity. As long-hidden secrets from their shared history erupt, they face a crucial choice: either restore their bond or settle their scores, regardless of the consequences.

R – Lair Rising by D V Sullivan @bydvsullivan

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

Well, now she’s gone and done it. Fell in love with a vampire…but, she doesn’t want to become one. The thought of living in the dark doesn’t appeal to her. How can she have it all? Is it true what ‘they’ say? If they kill his maker, he will become human? She is determined to find out, but it won’t be that easy. In fact, it is deadly.

I love the whole ‘Below Deck’ vibe of working on a yacht, especially considering the owner, Adrian Voper, is a vampire. Seems there is a whole colony of vampires owning yachts and they need the help to clean up the messes they make. I can only imagine what that entails, until I read about it.

I love the blood, guts and gore. There was one scene that blew me away. I know it was so wrong of me, but I found myself smiling as I read along. It has that B movie vibe going on.

Arie sure has come a long way, from a cowering young girl to a kickass woman and she will take names and she will not take any prisoners.

I want to thank D V Sulllivan for the opportunity to read Lair Rising.

GOODREADS BLURB

Now that they’re together, Arie and Adrian must do everything they can to stay that way in the second book in the Lair series.

Working on yachts has not turned out as Aurora Strand expected. Despite her abusive past, she has managed to fall in love with a vampire—the mysterious and controlling billionaire, Adrian Voper—and in order to free him of his “abusiveness” she must now hunt down and destroy his maker.

But finding this fiend in this world of yachts-as-vampire lairs is easier said than done. There will be tests and horrors alike, and one surprise from the past that may just tear Aurora and Adrian apart . . .

Review – Shift by Raine Thomas @Raine_Thomas

Posted on by

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

It’s always hard to write a review for a series, because less is more to keep from spoiling the story for you. Shift by Raine Thomas picks up where Defy left off and, even though it has been a little while since I read Defy, I was never lost. It surprises me, because I read a ton of books and that is kudos to Raine Thomas for writing such great stories that I remembered so much and my feelings picked up where they had left off.

There are ten different character classes, so if you need help deciphering who’s who, there is a glossary at the end of the book. I won’t go in depth trying to explain them, but I will tell you there are definite communication problems, though love finds a way.

The characters, especially Sophia and Tate are sure to grab your heart and break it all at the same time. Danger surrounds them at every turn, as they have something the villain wants..and he is one wicked devil, who will stop at nothing to get it.

I laughed and I cried along with the characters. They will draw you into their magical world and hold tight. I couldn’t stop reading. Raine Thomas has created a world that amazed me. I often wonder how an author comes up with such a wonderfully written fantasy.

That ending…

I’m glad that Raine Thomas made sure I had the next book handy.

Having the ability to shapeshift, Sophia is familiar with change. But even she feels the rising tension in her homeland.

A shadowy male and deadly beast reside in their midst. The births of the newest Kynzesti loom. Hostile Mercesti continue to hunt for the Elder Scroll, and a traumatized female is too afraid to use her abilities to stop them.

Topping off Sophia’s stress is Quincy, the male she’s convinced can’t stand her. She rues the loss of their friendship, but can’t figure out how to move past it. She’ll soon learn, however, that mending that rift bears more significance than she ever imagined.

The search for the Elder Scroll takes on unexpected urgency, and Sophia finds herself in a race across the mainland. To stop the Mercesti led by Eirik, she and her companions must get past their differences and unite against them. If they don’t, Eirik will acquire the immense power he seeks, and two of the beings Sophia loves most will die.

Release Day for What Happened To The Boy by June Summers #JuneSummers #whathappenedtotheboy

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

First off, I want to thank June Summers for the opportunity to read and review What Happened To The Boy. It was the title that first caught my attention and I was sucked in by the cover that jumps out at me. I mean, who doesn’t want to know about a five year old boy after his mother and father are found shot to death in their burned down house.

I guess I would say What Happened To The Boy by June Summers is more mystery than suspense, but there is a sense of danger surrounding the boy and Thin Lizzy. She puts her life on the line to keep him safe.

I love when an author can surprise me and June Summers took me to a place I didn’t see coming. I love it and how she resolved all the issues. I do love a happy ending and she supplied one, so if you are looking for something to wake you up and slap you in the face, then lull you to your happy place, you can’t go wrong adding What Happened To The Boy to your reading list.

But what happened to their boy?

ABOUT JUNE SUMMERS (from Amazon)

Some say when you’re old, you should be content with what you accomplished in your past and sit back in your rocking chair awaiting your final fate. I, of course, disagree. At the age of seventy-six, I had my first novel, LET FREEDOM RING, published by The Wild Rose Press. Two years later, my second and third novels were released (BEFORE WE FADE AWAY-The Wild Rose Press and A CONFLICT OF TIME-Full Moon Publishing, LLC.) My fourth novel, WHATEVER IT TAKES, was published in F2020 by Moonshine Cove Publishing. My fifth novel, THERE WAS AN OLD WOMAN was published by The Wild Rose Press in 2021, and my sixth novel, AT ROPE’S END, will be published on May 1, 2023 by The Wild Rose Press.

I have been writing for as long as I can remember. I started out writing poetry; some good; many not so good. In my stories, I like to write about ordinary people caught in extraordinary situations. I want the readers to put themselves into the place of the characters and feel what they are feeling and see what they are seeing. I want them to be part of situations beyond their imaginations and to experience things vicariously that are too dangerous or absurd to experience in reality. It would be like living your everyday life, then, BAM, something totally out of your control forces you to take action that you never thought you were capable of doing.

Suspense and mystery with unique circumstances are genres of most of my manuscripts. My first three novels took place in Nawinah, a mythical town near Orlando, Florida. My second two took place in Northeastern Ohio, where I am now spending my retirement years.

While writing, I actually feel myself taking part in the activities of my protagonist. I know what he or she is going to say because I would say the same thing. I know what he or she would do in a situation because I know what I would do. It’s a strange but exhilarating sensation.

Some writers make out extensive outlines and know exactly what each chapter will include. Not me. I wouldn’t be able to write that way. As I alluded, I actually live within my characters. So I don’t know how they would react to a situation until that situation takes place.

Review – The Girl Once Known by R M Demeester @rmdemeester

Posted on by

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

I had read Yours Truly by R M Demeester and loved it, so I have kept my eyes open for more of her books.

The Girl Once Known is a look into the lives of a highly dysfunctional family, of which Mira is the star. She is burdened with OCD and a need for everything having a place and being in it. She loves her surroundings clean and organized. She lives with her mother and sister who constantly berate her. The way they treat her is horrendous. When an opportunity comes for her to move out and live with her estranged father she doesn’t hesitate.

Her boyfriend helps ground her, but what happens when his actions pull her feet out from under her? In her confusion, she runs from the house. Someone hits her and runs. She is left bloody and broken. I knew the answer of who hit her couldn’t be as easy as the first person I suspected, or the second person I suspected. I love a twisty plot that takes its time unraveling, keeping me turning the pages, having to know the answer.

You won’t get all the answers from The Girl Once Known, so I am quickly going to dive into the next book in the series The Bond Once Broken.

I want to thank R M Demeester and Booksprout for the opportunity to read and review The Girl Once Known by R M Demeester.

After a violent hit-and-run shatters Mira Harris’s life, she finds herself at a crossroads.

Before the accident, Mira, haunted by a childhood shaped by dysfunction and the recent return of her estranged father, has always sought order to cope. Her relationship with Joseph Oliver, a young man with a troubled past, provided a semblance of balance. But now, with her trust broken and her body battered, to find out who wanted to harm her, she must peel back layers of lies, confronting not just the driver’s identity but the very fabric of her childhood.

As the truth inches closer, Mira and those closest to her face a reality more daunting than her injuries. Is uncovering the truth worth the risk and the personal cost not only to Mira but also to those closest to her?

Review – His Brother’s Mate by Maggie Tideswell @LunaMags

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

Such a pretty cover and when I saw The Tasmanian Colony I wondered if there would be Tasmanian shifters. LOL Nope, but we have plenty of other magical creatures, like witches, vampires and dragons, along with a human. Of course, she will fall in love with one of them, and I was counting on that. I don’t mind some things being predictable, especially when an author creates a fantastical world with compelling characters.

Harriet never stood a chance, once she met HIM.

I love a good supernatural story. Maggie Tideswell lured me in with the blurb, but the story kept me hanging on, facing the same dangers that Harriet did. I thought, what an odd name for a fantasy character and it put a smile on my face as I tried to conjure an image of what she looked like. Not the older woman that I first had in mind, that’s for sure.

Her being the only human makes her a target. Will she allow herself to be turned? I am curious to see how it will play out, as she has fallen in love with a vampire.

I want to thank Maggie Tideswell for the opportunity to read His Brother’s Mate and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next.

A witch, a vampire colony, a dragon shifter, and one little hotblood…

She doesn’t belong there. She is just an ordinary 26-year-old girl with no special talents or superpowers, except for an affinity for sick animals.

Yet, suddenly, because she liked a guy she knew nothing of and wanted to explore her options for a future with him, she finds herself in a vampire colony with no way of escape. Her friend abandons her, leaving her at the mercy of his brother, who just happens to be the most gorgeous man she has ever seen.

Magic Is Aiive in A Ho HO HO Beau Christmas by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff @MimiJeanRomance #2024HoHoHoRAT

Posted on by

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

A Ho Ho Ho Beau Christmas may be predictable, but it was delightful.

Meri Winters is going through some life changes during her favorite season of the year, Christmas. She feels like she was doing her holiday traditions for all the wrong reasons, so no Christmas party this year.

Things changed as soon as she met Beau, a hobo living in a tent by the garbage. She’s drawn to him, but he does everything he can to discourage her. He’s in a bad place and doesn’t have room in his life for a relationship.

I figured out the story pretty quick, but Mimi Jean Pamfiloff writes some wonderful novels and I am always happy to spend time with her characters. We have laughs, we have problems, we have arguments, we have friendships, we have everything that life entails, and, also, a happy ending. I do like those, especially during the holidays season.

So, if you are looking for a fun and magical story to brighten your holiday season, why not give A HO HO HO Beau Christmas a shot?

GOODREADS BLURB

From New York Times bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes a Christmas Rom-Com with a sweet magical surprise.

As the snow begins to fall and the city streets sparkle with festive lights, Meri Winters feels anything but merry. Juggling a demanding job and a strained relationship with her best friend, she’s more focused on surviving the holiday season than enjoying it.

That is, until she meets Beau Starling, a ruggedly handsome hobo who’s been living in the alley behind her building. Despite his disheveled appearance, there’s something mysterious about him—an inexplicable pull she can’t ignore.

As Meri opens her heart to this unlikely stranger, she discovers that Beau isn’t just a wanderer passing through. He has secrets—ones that could change both their lives forever.

In a season known for miracles, Meri will have to decide whether to take a leap of faith and trust in the magic of the holidays, or risk losing the one gift she never expected.

In the shadowy recesses of Cara’s mind, an ancient power has always lurked—a telepathic ability that both blessed and cursed her existence. For years, she shunned the whispers that echoed through the corridors of human consciousness. But when her twin brother Craig, a cog in the vast government machine, stumbles upon a plot so insidious it threatens to unravel the very fabric of reality, Cara is forced to confront the true nature of her gift.

As the twins descend into the labyrinthine depths beneath the Pentagon, they discover a truth far more terrifying than any earthly conspiracy. Here, in the suffocating darkness, writhe entities beyond human comprehension—monstrosities that defy the laws of nature and sanity.

With each step deeper into this realm of cosmic horror, Cara and Craig realize they’ve become pawns in a game played by forces older than time itself. The creatures that dwell below are not mere monsters, but the architects of a reality-bending scheme that makes the government’s plot seem like child’s play.

As Election Day looms, the boundary between our world and the realms beyond grows thinner. Cara and Craig must navigate a nightmarish landscape where flesh warps, minds fracture, and the very concept of humanity becomes fluid. Their desperate attempt to thwart both earthly and otherworldly machinations will lead them to the brink of madness—and beyond.

Prepare to question your sanity in this mind-bending fusion of cosmic terror, grotesque body horror, and dark humor. “Election Retrograde” plunges readers into an abyss where the lines between reality and nightmare blur, and where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Election Day is coming, and with it, a reckoning that will shatter the foundations of existence itself.

I love anything to do with seas, oceans, and lakes…add to that a creature feature and I am all in. Below will take us to the depth of the oceans, facing a creature that compares to Jaws. Once they figure we are a good meal, there is no stopping them…or is there? There will be a trail of blood and guts and I love a gory adventure filled with danger and death.

Review – Thirteen Days Gone by Amanda Siegrist @amanda_siegrist

Posted on by

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

The beginning of the ARC, Thirteen Days Gone (A Haunting Novel, Book II) was a bit slow for me, but with a little spit and polish I think it will shine. We are back with familiar characters and some left over magic that is creating havoc with the gang. Just goes to show, sometimes a little knowledge is dangerous. Thirteen Days Gone is Charly and Breck’s time to shine. I have a feeling that Breck has his hands full, getting close to Charly, seeing flesh to flesh allows Charly to glimpse a person’s past.

Insta love, not really. Insta attraction, yes. How long can they hold out and who will make the first move. When Charly goes to Breck and tells him she had a vision that showed her death, he decides the clock is ticking and he doesn’t want to waste one more minute to hold her in his arms. He has nothing to hide from her.

A serial killer has Charly in his sights. Of course, we have one of those moments when I’m saying…DON’T GO OUT THERE, but Amanda handles the inevitable in a good way.

Like I said, it was slow coming out of the gate, but it didn’t take long for the story to pick up the pace, making me unable to look away. I know there will be a happy ending, but I don’t know how that ending will come about.

Want a book to cozy up to on a cold winter’s night, look no further than the Haunting series.
