Over the Hedge by Paulette Mahurin

5 Stars Unputdownable!! What a magnificent story in Over the Hedge by Paulette Mahurin. I am a big fan of this author! Whatever this author writes, I read. This title was more than a plot and characters, it was a life, and dedication to those who fought to save lives. Over the Hedge is one book that I believe everyone should read. The story is based on actual events. It's based on how Nazi's were so brutal and practically sociopaths, with no allegiance to thing, including mor

Evil Seeds: The Ultimate Movie Guide to Villainous Children by Vanessa Morgan

5 Stars Frightening and thrilling read! Morgan pens Evil Seeds: The Ultimate Movie Guide to Villainous Children, and it is what the title claims to be. A book of films and the horror that the children are or become in the films. Some I've never heard of and most, i'm not sure I would want to watch. I am a big fan of this author! Whatever this author writes, I read. I love it when a Legacy author sends me more of their work! It is a remarkable collection, and I like not just t

The Amber Crane by Malve von Hassell

5 Stars Magnificently written! von Hassell pens a magnetically charged story in The Amber Crane. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. The characters were unique, realistic and very intense. This author brings the story to life. The characters did have a lot of depth, and the reader learns the "rules of the amber guild." And the effects of amber on Peter. The perils of war and destruction affect Peter, and he sees things in a different perspective

The Cabin Sessions by Isobel Blackthorn

5 Stars Darkness is looming Blackthorn pens a superb story in The Cabin Sessions. I have read a lot of work from this author before, and I really enjoyed each of them. The author writes very well, and always shows a great story, no matter her genre. I like that the author has a variety of stories under her pen. The characters had a lot of depth and were very realistic. Musicians, storms, and panic bring this story of a darkness that overshadows The Cabin Sessions. Struggles a

Identity Crisis by T.K. Kanwar

5 Stars Magnificently written powerful story!!! Kanwar pens a powerful story in Identity Crisis. I haven't read work from this author before, and I enjoyed this story. First, when you start reading, you're reading a letter, to whom it may concern, and this, reader, is you. This author brings the story to life, the details of our world's current state (the battle of Covid-19, and all its repercussions) as well a very forward and direct story of Sam, past and present, and how t

Audiobook: Destiny Returns by Douglas Volk

Destiny Returns by Douglas Volk Narrated by: Steve Rausch 5 Stars Volk does it again! Volk pens a magnificently written story in Destiny Returns, the third book in his Morpheus Series, and has turned it into a grand audiobook. I've read the first two, and couldn't wait to dive into this one. I did read the story, and enjoyed it, but I also really enjoyed this audiobook.

Masters' Promise by Jamie Schulz

5 Stars Intimate and personal Schulz pens a steamy story in Masters' Promise. I am a big fan of this author! Whatever this author writes, I read. This author brings the story to life. The characters had a lot of depth, and were very real, and I like the cowboy angle, and how Bret Masters has his owner, but to him, she's more than that.

Peter and the Ants Pt 1 - Read to Me by Gary Gedall

4 Stars An enjoyable children's story Gedall pens an enjoyable story in Peter and the Ants Pt 1 - Read to Me. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. Peter the Pixie is a wonderful children's story, and besides his adventure, he depicts kindness and gentleness. This is a wonderful "I can read" book and would be perfect for a child who can read, but also be perfect to read to a child or have the child read it back. It's very educational and has a gre

Population Zero by Fran Lewis

5 Stars Absolutely Chilling! Lewis pens a chilling and (very close to real life within the COVID-19 era) story in Population Zero. I have not read work from Lewis before, but I have become a big fan of this author! So, from this point, whatever this author writes, I read. This author brings the story to life. The plot, the end of people as we know it. A thrust to save humanity, and a realization of how fleeting moments are, and in a blink, they're gone. People. Moments. Even

A Salted Slug by Joe King

5 Stars Such an interesting absurdity and I loved it! King pens an interesting story in A Salted Slug by Joe King. Yes, it's a grand as the title (I get the pun of the title, and loved that). I am a big fan of this author! Whatever this author writes, I read. Reading King's work before, I knew what to expect from his writing style, and it has grown, and yet, his keen wit and story ideas seem endless and yes, absurd (which I love this word, especially in such a compliment when

Hell Holes 3: To Hell and Back by Donald Firesmith Narrated by: Gary Tredwell 5 Stars Aileen is back!!! Firesmith tells a magnificent story in Holes 3: To Hell and Back. I've read the first two stories in this series, and I really liked them. I recommend, as I always do, read the entire series, and in order. Then, after the grand reads, listen to each one. It's just something that the words being spoken, the story being told, brings a new dimension to the story. And, starting

The Drago Tree by Isobel Blackthorn

5 Stars Unexplainably wonderful journey Blackthorn pens a brilliant story in The Drago Tree. I have read many works from this author before, and I really enjoyed each of them. Blackthorn is a magnificent story "shower" more than just a "teller." The setting of landscapes, on this dreamy, gorgeous island, set the stage for Ann's journey. It's about self-discovery and struggles to find herself. The island's secrets, help Ann figure out her own way. What a magnetic, page turning

Organic eMotions: Poetry for hUmaNITY by Lali A. Love

5 Stars Absolutely Inspirational writing This collection of poetry by Love is a remarkable work of words. The words almost float across the page in a lyrical movement. I enjoyed reading this collection and entering the mind of this prolific poet. Such a wonderful read. The beauty of the words doesn't have to be perfection or lyrical, but putting the thoughts and poems on paper, creating the image that the poet visions while writing. Each poem had its own emotion, inspiration,
