I loved the adventure that Damage in an Undead Age took me on! I enjoyed the new characters that were introduced and the twists created by their addition to the story! What I loved the most though, was the emotional journey that I wasn‘t expecting. It was beautifully woven into the zombie apocalypse and left me unable to put the book down.

This was such a cute read! I really enjoyed the main character, Samiah! She's this super-smart, geeky girl that I just connected with right from the start.

Perfect for romance lovers. Extra special if you are into techy stuff!

Sister Dear | Hannah Mary McKinnon
post image
Pickpick

This was a crazy, dark thriller with so many twists! I really enjoyed it!
Eleanor finds out her father is not her biological father and she tries to connect with her real father and her newly discovered half-sister. What started as interest in expanding her family becomes an obsession...

It is so good!

I loved the first half of this book, but the second half got weird...It felt like it wasn't a thriller anymore, it was more psychological domestic fiction.

Has anyone read this? I'd love to hear what you thought!

This was a super fun psychological thriller! We get to read from the MC's POV as well as the antagonist, so we know more than the MC, which was a fun twist.

Recommend for readers that enjoy an emotional, historical fiction story that is well-researched. Bonus if you are looking for something that is not wholly based in England during WWII.

I LOVED this book. Every word, every page, every character. It was a wonderful, exciting ride filled with a witch‘s curse, a romance that spans lifetimes, secrets, and so much more!
This is for you if you enjoy a bit of witchcraft, romance sub-plots, a story set in multiple eras, a mystery to solve.

Circe is a female goddess who lives by her own rules and I loved that. If someone pisses her off, she‘s using her witchcraft to take care of them. If she needs to protect a loved one, she‘s walking the ocean floor to do that. She‘s pretty awesome!

Vikings. Magic. Epic Battles. Rivaling Houses. Medieval Setting. All these things combined in this book to make an exciting and interesting read!

I loved Freya and Finn! Freya is a kick-ass woman who takes nothing less than what she deserves. Finn is just not interested in following any rules. I loved his disregard for expectations. Finn is just Finn and he‘s not apologizing for it!

I had this on my to-be-read list for January, but when I received it from the author, I just couldn‘t wait to get started, so I put aside some other books on my list and pushed this one to the top. I‘m so glad I did! This is a beautifully written story filled with heartache, loss, growth, and amazing strength. I was so impressed with writing! I felt sucked in and devastated for Amy, but it was so uplifting as well.

It‘s wonderful and I cannot wait to read more of her work!

Mustard Seed | Laila Ibrahim

With the characters older than where we left them at the end of Yellow Crocus, I loved seeing the changes in their lives. The children of Lisbeth and Mattie have led very different lives than these two women did. I appreciated how those differences were shown, giving each character experiences that helped them to appreciate the lives they led and the sacrifices their parents made to get them to where they are today.

Love in an Undead Age | Anne Geever
post image

I love a zombie book that is more focused on the survival than on JUST guts and gore, and I found just that here. I really loved that this started after the Zombie Apocalypse, when people had found how to survive (mostly). The characters are living in their various situations, some protected, others traveling through zombie-infested places. I enjoyed that there were characters in both situations as it made for quite an exciting story!

A good dystopian novel with a well-created world. The characters were well-developed. I would have liked to know how the world crumbled to end up in this new one, but there will be a sequel, so there's still a chance to find out!! A great read for anyone who enjoyed Breathe by Sarah Crossen or Divergent by Veronica Roth!

What I Loved: The widows. They were adorable.
How I Felt: A bit confused when the thriller aspect came around, but it was a good addition to the story.
To Read or Not To Read: As long as you are ok with a bit of erotica mixed into your fiction/thriller, this was worth reading. It's a bit of a leisurely stroll through a story, not fast paced until the end.

I was on the struggle-bus for this entire book. I know a lot of people said they almost bailed, but then loved it. I stuck with it and was just disappointed.
I didn't connect with characters and their choices didn't make sense to me. The murder mystery seemed completely out of place in the story as well.
