Lost Boy, Found Boy

by

Jenn Polish

In a futuristic world, Neverland is a holomatrix, Hook is a cyborg, and Tinker Bell is an automated computer interface.

Peter is desperate to save his lover from a military draft that, unbeknownst to him, Mir volunteered for because they are desperate to be able to fly. So, naturally, Peter programs an entire island—Neverland—as a refuge where Mir can fly without having to fight in a war.

But he doesn’t locate Mir right away; instead, he fights for control of the island with automated interface Tinker Bell, and in his attempts to find Mir, others arrive on the island. But Peter’s single-minded focus on Mir generates repercussions for everyone.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I really enjoyed this story despite not really knowing exactly what the characters shift into. The dissension between the Misiq and the Chinjoka tribes is deadly even though at one point they used to co exist. This rift is the result of a devastating plague that has decimated both tribes with the Misiq blaming the Chinjoka.

Gyam, Dhala and Askari were great characters with each unique gifts within their tribe. i found the castes to be intriguing and fascinating. The magical and paranormal aspects of the story were a huge plus for me. The battle scenes between the tribes were ferocious and deadly.

Ena, a misiq, was an enigma once he is rescued from certain death. I liked that he tried to protect the chinjoka at the most crucial of times. Even though he did put himself in danger of being found out more than once. The chemistry between these two couples was electric yet sweet.

I truly enjoyed this amazing detailed journey in a land so different from now. The lush landscapes to the rivers and streams plus the different customs of each tribe were fascinating. I am looking forward to reading more in this fantastic series.

Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: A magical story about a prince, Anwyll, who is soon to become king, who finds his consort among the commoners. Pedr is a gardener from generations of the beginning when the people fled their home world from a tyrannical reign.

Anwyll was so determined to to keep Pedr despite what tradition says. I loved how thee two interacted and talked to one another. Pedr was extremely knowledgeable about all things regarding plants. I loved his gift for the king and the tale that is told to how it came about years before.

The celebration was magical and felt like it was a fairytale come to life.

Awesome read.

Fox and Birch

(The Rowan Harbor Cycle 03)
by

Sam Burns

Fletcher Lane wants to protect people. It was why he became a deputy. A month ago, it was why he killed a vampire who kidnapped one of his friends. Now, that death has started a cascade effect that’s tearing his life apart, leaving him possessed by magic that whispers to him in ancient Gothic.

While he’s already fighting for control of his own mind, he has to hold it together when strangers come into town looking for the dead vampire. They say they’re bounty hunters, but Fletcher knows that’s a lie. They’re the same kind of murderers who killed Fletcher’s mother. When one of them puts up a kind front, Fletcher knows that people who hunt the supernatural can’t be trusted. However nice Conner Mason seems, the worst thing Fletcher could do is fall for his act.

This is the third of nine books in The Rowan Harbor Cycle, not a standalone. It continues where the second book left off. Fletcher and Conner will return in book six to continue their story, so this book contains a HFN, not their HEA.

The Witch Stone

(Court of Ash and Thorn 01)
by

Jasmine Hong

One of the unfortunate truths in life is that if someone dumps a war on your doorstep in the small hours of the morning, well, you’re kind of stuck with it. Especially if that war comes in the form of a mostly naked man and he just happens to be one of the most powerful beings in the city.

And your ex.

Another unfortunate truth: No matter how poorly things ended, you’re going to wind up scraping him up off the cement and dragging him in off your doorstep. And, of course, that’s when the real trouble begins.

The Moonlight Market by Aidee Ladnier

Title: The Moonlight Market

Author: Aidee Ladnier

Genre: Fantasy

Length: Novel (205 Pages)

Publisher: Loose Id (August 16, 2016)

Heat Level: Low

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥ 2.5 Hearts

Blurb: College senior Cory Long tracked his missing sister to the magical Moonlight Market to bring her home. Instead, he found a disorienting world of performers and hawkers, bizarre sights and sounds, and one very familiar showman, Sanderson Beets. Like a drowning man, he latched onto Sanderson, trusting him to navigate the twists and turns of the Market as unerringly as he had steered Cory to passion in their furtive trysts on campus.

But Sanderson was tired of being the quickie in the alley.

Sanderson Beets had escaped the Moonlight Market to attend college, hoping to settle into a normal life, maybe meet someone and fall in love. To obtain that new life he made a dangerous bargain. And when the sinister woman known as the Weaver of Dreams is involved, second chances always come with strings attached…and sacrifices. Sanderson’s debt has come due, and the only payment he has to offer is Cory, and their chance at a relationship.

ISBN: 978-1-68252-185-4

Product Link: Loose Id | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Cory and his sister Poe have had a hard life. Poe had been injured in the same accident that had killed their parents. Cory took over taking care of Poe, basically giving up his life. Poe had been badly burned and her soul was wasting away. Then she found the magic in the Moonlight Market.

Cory was a senior in college and was trying to get to know Sanderson. However Sanderson had a dark secret. He was a carne, but he had to give something up to be able to go to school and have a different life. But payment time was coming up. When Cory showed up looking for his lost sister, Sanderson was to give him to the weaver. But his heart shows him a different direction.

This story starts with sex between our two main characters but nothing more. They might have had a chemistry, but it was hard to tell with this story. More anger, pain and stress is what you get with this story. The ending was actually better then I had expected, but I will admit that I wished I had never read this story.

It has a dark tone to it, and if I had read the blurb first, I would have never even gave it a chance. This is one of the creepiest stories I have ever came across. The story itself is well written and the plot is extremely good. The problem is there is no connection with the characters at all. Why give up a life, if the dang idiot girl is over the age limit. The old weaver is just a witch, and we all know where witches end up.

This is one of the worst stories I have read and I am afraid that it has made it difficult to even think of reading another book by this author. I hate to admit it, but this story was definitely not for me.

Blurb: The Askaran desert can no longer sustain the secret hybrid population of wolves bred from those sent there to die for their crimes. Justice knows the time has come to lead his wolves to a new life, but soon realizes his pack could never be governed by nor swear fealty to the cruel and despotic Alpha of Solonara—Darius—so he hatches a plan to fight and ultimately kill the Alpha, his heir, and take over the territory.

Cashel should not exist. It was unheard of for an Alpha-heir to be born an omega, and Darius has made every day a torment for his son. After spending years failing to breed another heir, and desperate not to have to give his territory away to another pack, he finally turns his attention back to Cashel and a whole new nightmare begins.

Justice’s whole life has been about righting a wrong and delivering the very thing he was named for. Meeting Cashel, and finding out he is his true mate, sends his carefully constructed plans and promises up in flames. When he discovers Darius’s cruelty runs deeper than any of them imagined, he is faced with a last desperate choice between his love for Cashel or his loyalty to his people.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Oh my was this book so good. Cashel’s whole life has been one thing after another in abuse.Cashel has been used and abused by Darius for his own gain. Once he meets Justice, an alpha that arrives for the new games for the right to be with him Cashel knows he wants more out of life.

Justice’ mission is to take out the alpha and the heir until he meets Cashel and discovers he is so much more. But Darius is devious and wants nothing more to be the supreme ruler and takes out anyone who endangers that.

Drama, suspense, action and edge of your seat worthy scenes made for an awesome read that grabs you from beginning to end and then some. I am impressed with how well this story is overall.

I loved it and highly recommend it.

Blurb: Man and wolf. Sworn enemies in the battle for Askara. Can hate and betrayal ever lead to love?

Caleb Harken has spent six years wrongfully imprisoned for his father’s treachery. Tortured and reviled by the very wolf pack he should have been leading as Alpha, he is not surprised to learn he’s finally to meet his death at the hands of the human rebel leader, Taegan Callan.

Taegan gave up his dreams of a life-mate and a family after seeing too many humans butchered at the hands of the wolves—even if Caleb doesn’t seem to be the bloodthirsty savage he expects, and even if he starts to long for a different kind of future with the wolf.

Can Caleb become the Alpha he was always meant to be and lead his pack, or will he finally realize that winning his freedom means nothing when he has already lost his heart?

ISBN: B0748BLMBT

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I waited days to write this review and still can not figure out what to say. Why? Because it was that good and went in a direction I was not expecting after having read the first book. The first thing I loved was that an Alpha was the one suffering. Not that I mean I want to hear of anyone suffering but that usually in books it’s an omega.

Caleb in my opinion was strong despite the abuse heaped on him. It incensed me that he was treated that way at all due to what his father did and not him. I literally hated those who sought to take from him for their own gains.

Teagan was understandably leery of Caleb. His treatment of him was cruel at first. But once things came to light all that changed. Caleb and Teagan were a formidable couple.

I love this series despite it’s darkness at times. Highly recommended.

But when fate lands him in the hands of his ex-lover and alpha, he finds himself in the centre of a feud he never knew existed, and must immerse himself in ways he had never imagined. One chance encounter, one night, and everything comes crashing down around him. Alex must fight for his life while Tanner fights for one thing and one thing only—vengeance, which has never tasted sweeter.

Can Tanner avenge his family’s death without spilling more blood? Or will his inner demon tear apart everything he has worked for, and lose the man who owns his heart?

Within These Depths

(Demons & Wolves 02)

Tanner is so close to his revenge that he can almost taste it. With an unusual brand of negotiation skills under his belt, he has everything he needs. Now all that stands between him and destroying Elijah Ravenhill is a dangerous mission into the depths of Hell. Accompanied by his guides, he will enter where loyalties and souls are tested, and few ever return.

Newly mated Alex just wants to keep his loved ones safe. In the sprawling grandeur of Wulfric Manor, he finally has his family under one roof, even if it may only be temporary, and his dreams of having something normal seem to be within reach. Yet what’s normal for the wolf is torture for the prey, and chaos descends on Alex with one mysterious phone call.

Can Alex have all he ever dreamed of without sacrificing his life? Will Tanner put an end to Elijah once and for all, or will his revenge go up in smoke within the fires of hell itself?

Warning: Within These Depths is the highly anticipated sequel to Broken in Silence: Demons and Wolves Series, and things are really heating up. This story is NOT a typical romance and it’s not intended for those who seek a HEA. It cannot be read as a standalone.

Wolf And The Holly

(The Rowan Harbor Cycle 02)
by

Sam Burns

Five years ago, Jesse dropped out of college and came home to Rowan Harbor to find safety with his pack. A broken man, he’s been living as though the world is ending—allergic to responsibility and spending most of his nights at the local bar.

But he can’t avoid growing up forever. On the night of his thirtieth birthday party, he finds his childhood friend Isla unconscious, attacked in the middle of their peaceful hometown. The wolf inside him wants to protect its people from the slick-haired, smooth-talking vampire who’s brought trouble to town, and Jesse can’t run from his instincts any longer.

Now that his inner wolf is out of its cage, it’s picked the most inconvenient moment to find its mate. Sean Anderson—recently back from college and much changed from the skinny preteen Jesse once knew—is just what he never knew he needed.

Trigger Warning: discussion of past abuse.

This novel is intended for adult audiences, and contains swearing and sex.

This is the second of nine books in The Rowan Harbor Cycle, not a standalone. It continues where the first book left off. Jesse and Sean will return in book five to continue their story, so this book contains a HFN, not their HEA.

Review: Mark and Luke are taking their daughter to the Epcot Center. However they need a little fun time of their own, but must wait.

Ok truth is, the blurb pretty much gives the whole story away. It is just about two parents, one who is a dragon, wanting to get it on. But they have to be parent’s first. There really is not a story here. I hope the rest of the series has action, excitement, danger because this one is just raising a kid and having sex.

It is an ok read for when you just want a little break. I am sorry but this was a big bummer.

Review: Wow. Twists and turns galore in this addition of demons and wolves. Alex and his family are moving in with Tanner due to Emily’s condition. Tanner is still standoffish where Alex is concerned but not as bad as he was in the first book.

Tanner is requiring someone to get him into hell in his search for Ellijiah. Crashing the Shadow Ball things happen that take a turn for the worse when his brother and Alex are attacked and hurt. Later Emily is taken. So much happens that it had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

I am looking forward to the continuation of this series and seeing what happens with Alex, Saska, Zena in hell. Not to mention if Tanner ever gets his vengeance on Ellijiah.

Awesome read and highly recommended.

ISBN: B06XHPYN9R

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Let me start by saying this is not a romance story. It is a dark tale of one man’s journey as he does whatever it takes on his quest for vengeance. Tanner’s parents were murdered when they were attacked by a demon called Ellijiah. Tanner was changed that night forever as the demon passed something on to him.

Now two decades later Tanner is the leader of the underground. The place where all the under desired are forced from Zion city. Tanner is ruthless in his pursuit of the demon. he stops at nothing and I do mean nothing in his pursuit of him.

Though Alex is his mate, Tanner does not acknowledge that and treats him poorly then casts him aside and after ten years comes back for him to have him do a mission that raised my eyebrows in surprise. I honestly thought Tanner would get someone who was not his mate to do what he had Alex do.

However I did love Tanners dedication to find the demon though some of his methods were eyebrow raising. Still it was an entertaining story that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

Fantastic read and highly recommended.

As penance for past mistakes in friendship and in love, Blackwelder makes the bold choice to relocate to Fort Felix, a military base on Neptune’s moon, a decision that could end up costing him his life. Once there, he meets: Juan Miguel Arías, to whom he takes an immediate liking; Vernita Burton, a true friend; and the men and women of Brant Squad, a group of lovable losers that he eventually takes under his wing.

Blackwelder is surprised to discover he has something to live for again, but all of that is threatened when war finally arrives on Fort Felix’s doorstep. Can Blackwelder find the hero within in time to save his squad, his planet, and the man he loves?

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Although fast paced this story of Blackwelder and others getting ready for war was quite intriguing. The characters were every bit as diverse as the plot. Though I was surprised it took place in our galaxy I was still impressed by how well the story flowed.

Blackwelder was certainly different than I expected an MC to be. He was extremely flirty which fit his character and the romance with Juan. I really liked the details throughout that were added that gave the reader a view of where the characters were.

Overall it was an interesting read with a great group of characters.

Within These Depths

(Demons & Wolves 02)

Tanner is so close to his revenge that he can almost taste it. With an unusual brand of negotiation skills under his belt, he has everything he needs. Now all that stands between him and destroying Elijah Ravenhill is a dangerous mission into the depths of Hell. Accompanied by his guides, he will enter where loyalties and souls are tested, and few ever return.

Newly mated Alex just wants to keep his loved ones safe. In the sprawling grandeur of Wulfric Manor, he finally has his family under one roof, even if it may only be temporary, and his dreams of having something normal seem to be within reach. Yet what’s normal for the wolf is torture for the prey, and chaos descends on Alex with one mysterious phone call.

Can Alex have all he ever dreamed of without sacrificing his life? Will Tanner put an end to Elijah once and for all, or will his revenge go up in smoke within the fires of hell itself?

Warning: Within These Depths is the highly anticipated sequel to Broken in Silence: Demons and Wolves Series, and things are really heating up. This story is NOT a typical romance and it’s not intended for those who seek a HEA. It cannot be read as a standalone.

Blurb: Lew’s life is pleasantly boring until his friend Mira messes with magic she doesn’t understand. While searching for her, he is pulled back in time to 1919 by a catastrophic magical accident. As he tries to navigate a strange time and find his friend in the smoky music clubs of Soho, the last thing he needs is Detective Alec Carter suspecting him of murder.

London in 1919 is cold, wet, and tired from four years of war. Alec is back in the Metropolitan Police after slogging out his army service on the Western Front. Falling for a suspect in a gruesome murder case is not on his agenda, however attractive he finds the other man.

They are both floundering and out of their depth, struggling to come to terms with feelings they didn’t ask for and didn’t expect. Both have secrets that could get them arrested or killed. In the middle of a murder investigation that involves wild magic, mysterious creatures, and illegal sexual desire, who is safe to trust?

Review: Lew searches desperately for his foster sister Mira when she messes with The Border, something she doesn’t understand; now Lew is stuck in 1919 trying to find his feet and his missing sister… but something is lurking in the shadows, something that followed them from the Outlands.

Alec Carter has settled back into life as a police Inspector at the station he served at before the war, when he’s called into investigate mysterious deaths at a hospital. Stumped, it isn’t till a brutal murder that he gets any leads and his suspicion rises about the photographer who has secrets.

This is a great story that plunges you into the life of London in the 1920’s, it adds a twist of paranormal and a dose of forbidden longing.

The story is mainly from Lew’s perspective with Alec’s perspective thrown in at times; there isn’t a real romance just a promise of something lingering throughout the story. The story is mainly focused on finding Lew’s sister and then finding the creature that is hunting in London, we discover slowly over time the role of the Workers and The Border and what they think the creatures are.

I really liked this story and enjoyed following Lew along as he gets settled in a new time and finds his feet. Alec looks to be an interesting man and I can’t wait to see how their relationship progresses in future books.

The storyline is good and flows quite well once you understand the concept of The Border and how both Mira and Lew found themselves in the 1918 & 1919. We discover that Mira and Lew have more allies than they thought and that there just might be lives for the both of them in the time they discover themselves in.

I recommend this if you love time-travel, historical’s, mysterious creatures from another place, and the beginning of something forbidden between two men.

Blurb: Devon Murphy has never believed that there were fairies at the bottom of the garden, but when he’s in an accident on his way to his grandmother’s house and comes face to face with the biggest, baddest wolf he’s ever seen, he’s forced to reconsider.

When his grandmother asks him to look into a string of suspicious accidents, he finds a much bigger mystery to unravel. From his childhood best friend to the too-attractive Deputy Wade Hunter, everyone in Rowan Harbor seems to have something to hide. Devon has to get to the bottom of it all before the accidents turn deadly.

Review: Devon returns to the town he was born in and discovers that the townsfolk are not as normal as they appear…. and neither is he.

This is an enjoyable story where a man returns to his roots and discovers the truth about the town he comes from and about himself. A truth that was kept from him by his grandmother.

Devon reconnects with old friends and makes new friends, helping one of them to discover if her accidents are really accidents or if something more sinister is going on. Along the way he meets the delicious Deputy Wade Hunter and sparks fly… no they really do, and Devon is getting fed up of everyone making a big deal out of it like they know something he doesn’t.

Devon is a loveable character who just seems to go with the flow most of the time, he’s had problems with dating in the past so he steers clear of men but there’s something about Wade that draws him in. Their relationship seems to explode suddenly when Devon discovers the truth about himself and the townsfolk. It seems to go from a very small trickle of scenes with Wade to suddenly Wade being a main character, if it wasn’t for the early references in the story by townsfolk about Devon and Wade I would never have guessed that the two were destined to be a couple.

The story is easy to fall into, it’s a relaxing read and interesting, especially as little tidbits drop about the paranormal aspects of the townsfolk. The characters are great and some of them make it more interesting with their quirks, I can’t wait to find out what Jesse’s story is.

I recommend this to those who love easy paranormal reads, wolves, vampires, fae and witches living everyday lives, a dash of mystery, and a relationship that develops suddenly and a great ending.
