extraORDINARY by Starr Z Davies
4 Stars Grand third story! Davies pens a unique Dystopian story in (extra)ORDINARY. I have read work, especially the books that came before this one, from this author before, and I really enjoyed them. Bianca is a fighting machine, created just for that. It's an amazing transformation, and yet, some parts of Bianca are still human. I recommend reading the first two books, even though this can be standalone. The story runs alongside the other stories, and is told from Bianca's

The Scarlet Queen: A Gripping Epic Fantasy by Mitch Reinhardt
5 Stars Grand Fantasy! Reinhardt pens a grand story in The Scarlet Queen: A Gripping Epic Fantasy. I have read the stories in the series before, and this third book in the The Darkwolf Saga feels long overdue, but definitely worth the wait. Filled with good versus evil, fantasy and even a little magic, the characters have a dark cloud over them. It's not just a matter of survival, spells of evil, and even a connection between all the characters, human and elven. It's a fun an

THE WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SERIAL KILLERS: Volume Three M-S by Susan Hall
5 Stars Another chilling true crime encyclopedia Hall pens a detailed true crim title in THE WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SERIAL KILLERS: Volume Three M-S. I read the two books that came before this one, and plan on reading whatever comes next. This is a book that gives information on serial killers that fit within the alphabet M through S. Hall has a way of presenting the information about serial killers but also reminds the reader of the victims that were unlucky enough to catch t

Silver Fox by Phillip Lemarque and Stella Lemarque
5 Stars Another great work from the Lemarques The Lemarques pen (once again) a great story in Silver Fox. I've read their title Money Galore, and I really enjoyed it. The characters were unique and very interesting. The book is filled with satire and humor, but also tells a grand story. The Silver Fox is not only the title but also a mysterious superstar, with a grand estate in the country. It's a fun and easy read, but it works with all the quirky and intriguing characters t

The Android Sisters: Chasing Reality by Gary Starta
4 Stars Another journey for Nyx and Dayna Starta pens another great story in The Android Sisters: Chasing Reality. I've read the books that came before this one, and had gotten to know Nyx and Dayna. This is yet another great journey for the Androids and the more they learn about themselves, it shows that even as Androids, they can grow. The story is exciting, and given a new environment. Of course, their existence is threatened, as is their own reality. There is a great che

Wild Card by Nic Starr
4 Stars Interesting love story Wild Card by Starr is the third book in the multi-author series, The Road To Rocktoberfest. Starr's story revolves around Rafe and Parker. There is a great chemistry between the characters, and a depth that makes them realistic and flawed. It's an interesting story and how it pushes these two unlikely characters together. Yes, it fits the rock and roll theme, and connection to someone that they least expect, especially when they have their own b

Destiny Returns by Douglas Volk
5 Stars Volk does it again! Volk pens a magnificently written story in Destiny Returns, the third book in his Morpheus Series. I've read the first two, and couldn't wait to dive into this one. This is the book nightmares are afraid of, and it's so intriguing and captivating, you can't stop reading. I savored every word in this story. The unpredictability of Volk's stories make it so you just linger on every scene. A definite magnificent story, kept this reader turning the pag

Mage: The Eternal Realm by S.A. Edwards
4 Stars Another great fantasy Edwards pens a great sequel story in Mage: The Eternal Realm. I have read the first books in this series, and I really enjoyed them. The characters fit within the story line, and works with this great world building story. Another journey and quest awaits in the realm, and though it works on its own, I recommend reading the first two books. It's filled with magic and adventure, with mystery that makes it unpredictable. It's a great story to follo

The Silence of Kings: Book III: Asteri and Fengari by Samuel Perin
4 Stars Another good story Perin pens another great story within the Silence of Kings series, in The Silence of Kings Book III- Part One: Astéri. I've read the first two books and enjoyed them as well. There is a great chemistry between the characters, and a depth that makes them realistic and flawed. Leo's journey is a long journey of mystery and magic, filled with darkness and some whimsy. The story brings in the believable, even if almost impossible. It is always a joy to

Foes to Grace... by Abdiel LeRoy
Full Title: Foes to Grace: Satan in the Court of Heaven, His Servants in the Corridors of Earth by Abdiel LeRoy 5 Stars Magnificent! I am a huge fan of this author, having read his work and listened to his audiobook narrations as well. LeRoy tells his stories very dramatically, and has inspired me to reread the classics again and again. This book shares his insights into faith, belief, and religion. It's a majestic flow of words and tells a wondrous story. Getting to this on

Break In by Judy Snider
5 Stars Thrilling! The book intrigued me when the author was nominated for a showcase of Indie Author Appreciation Month in September of 2019 on my author blog, and the author was nice enough to share the story with me for a review. Snider pens a chilling story in Break In. This author brings the stories to life. There is a great chemistry between the characters, and a depth that makes them realistic and flawed. This book deserves a second read! (and maybe more). A very well-

Pressure Point by Ted Tayler
5 Stars Exciting and Thrilling Tayler pens a thrilling story in Pressure Point, the third book in his Freeman File series. I am a big fan of Tayler's work, and I've come to really enjoy Gus and his Crime Review Team. Each character with differences, and great chemistry that helps them use their knowledge to solve the latest crime file on their desk. It is also not just about the crime, but the victim and how they find their answers. The search is the journey that brings the s

Jezebel's Lament by Abdiel LeRoy
5 Stars LeRoy does it again! LeRoy pens a unique story in Jezebel's Lament. And when he says "Jezebel", he does mean the famous or infamous Jezebel in the Bible. I love reading and listening to LeRoy's stories, one because they are unique, and two, because he is just that good. I love this perspective of Jezebel, and she is trying to deal with her "reputation" that clearly exists to this day. I recommend reading and listening to the preface, and especially the introduction, w

Landry In Like by Krysten Lindsay Hager
4 Stars Another good Landry story! Hager pens a grand young adult story in Landry In Like. I have work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. This is the third book in the Landry series, and I recommend reading all three. The characters were realistic and definitely reminded me of teen angst, and high school (a long time ago). Landry is dealing with her life, and her friendships, with teen drama added to her journey. A very well-written story, and I enjoyed it. It

Obsolescence by Gary Starta
4 Stars Great story! Starta pens a grand story in Obsolescence. I am a fan of Starta's work, and enjoyed this story as well. Starta has a unique perception of characters and even building worlds that are interesting, and almost scary. Obsolescence is a unique story that contains not only humans and aliens, but those who are trying to play God. A very well-written story, and I enjoyed it. It is always a joy to read this author's stories. The story brings in the believable, eve

The Cold Hearth by Garth Pettersen
4 Stars
A grand story
Pettersen pens a grand story in The Cold Hearth. I have read stories from this author before, and I really enjoyed it, so even though I have no expectations when I read a story, I wasn't disappointed. The story is filled with curses, secrets, and shadows that are affecting the desire of a life in peace. The characters were intense and fit this story. I really enjoyed Harald's relationships, and his determination. The story brings in the believable, ev

And Then There Were Three by Mark Taylor
4 Stars
Exciting and inviting
Taylor once again brings back the witches, and this time in book three, And Then There Were Three. I've read the first two stories, and enjoyed each one. This may even be the one I like the best. I not only like reading what Taylor writes, but can see growth in the writing itself. It is always a joy to read this author's stories. Witches and the devil, and it was filled with action and excitement. This is supposed to be the final book in the t

The Prince's Oath by Abdiel LeRoy and Mohammad Wali
5 Stars Magnificent As always, I was not disappointed by LeRoy's work. He has a very prolific lyrical and yet grand storytelling ability that is unlike any I have ever read (or listened to, and yes, if it is one of his audiobooks, it should definitely be listened to as well). As you can tell, I am a big fan, not just because I think his writing style and technique is a definite lost art, but how the story is told. It is always interesting, and intriguing to read LeRoy's work,

Poseidon's Trident by A. P. Mobley
4 Stars Grand Story Mobley pens a great mythical story in Poseidon's Trident. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it, and this story was no different. The characters were intense and definitely fit within the mythical world of the story. This author brings the stories to life. The story brings in the believable, even if almost impossible. The thrills are written clearly and the characterizations are engrossing. It is always a joy to read this author
