Review:  Lighting The Darkness (Carnival of Mysteries 2) by Eden Winters

Rating: 4.5🌈 Lighting The Darkness , a novel in the second Carnival of Mysteries collection, is a sequel to Eden Winters’ marvelous supernatural science fiction thriller, Darkness. That book wasn’t a part of this series, and that’s very complex universe is the basis for this story and that cast of characters is central to the journey of Lio and Bel here. Lio and Bel mirror the roles somewhat…

Review: Man Of His Dreams (a Hot Nights in the Big Easy novel) by Kim Fielding

Rating: 4.5🌈 What a delicious treat Kim Fielding’s new book turns out to be.  Starting with that fabulously evocative cover by Reese Dante to the historically vibrant setting of New Orleans, Kim Fielding has a winner.  The Big Easy of the series title, New Orleans, with its ghosts, the unsettling atmosphere and mixture of peoples, culture, and the history that comes with that is the perfect…

Review:  Cleric of Desire (Tales from the Tarot) by Amanda Meuwissen

Rating: 5🌈 Amanda Meuwissen is a author I find so fascinating.  It’s in her approach to writing and storytelling that is so unique and intimate that makes her books stand out, as does this latest novel. Cleric of Desire, a story in the fascinating multi-author magical Tales from the Tarot series, is one that’s very personal to Meuwissen.  Don’t miss out on the author’s forward.  In it the…

Review:  Found in Obscurity (Tales from the Tarot story) by A. M. Rose

Rating: 4.5🌈 Tales from the Tarot is an amazing paranormal series, serving up such a wide selection of 22 stories and authors that’s it’s impossible not to find a great book to read, and share. I’m including in that tally the quite marvelous Found in Obscurity by A. M. Rose, a tale about a young man, a witch, who has to make a decision to embrace his true nature before he can find his roots,…

Review:  A Highland Gargoyle's Lucky Star (Tales from the Tarot story) by Chloe Archer

Rating: 4🌈 A Highland Gargoyle’s Lucky Star, while definitely in the Tales from the Tarot multi-author series, is firmly rooted in Chloe Archer’s Monster Hollow universe and her latest novel from that, The Gargoyle and the Romance Writer.   The main gargoyle characters here (and an unfortunate member under going punishment here), are met for the first time in that book. And in a delightful…

Review: Impossible Things (A Subparheroes Novel) by Alexis Land

Rating: 4.5🌈 “As I sprinted up Telegraph Hill with about two dozen overly enthusiastic raccoons in hot pursuit, I muttered, “Not again.” So opens Impossible Things by Alexa Land and our introduction to Anderson “Andy” Chen, our appealing subpar hero. This is the second in the Subpar Heroes multi author series that I’ve read and each has taken a different approach to this decidedly engaging…

Review:  The Firedancer (Black Cat Circus) by Rye Cox

Rating: 4🌈 The Firedancer is my first dive into Rye Cox’s Black Cat Circus series, a paranormal world of outcasts that travel through worlds finding their true loves.  The setup is simple, the author establishes the characters and fundamentals of the series early on in the book, so even if the reader, like myself is new to the series, we understand setting of the circus and the concept of the…

Review:  Zero Judgment (Tales from the Tarot story) by Kota Quinn

Rating: 3.5🌈 Major arcana card : Judgement  Zero Judgement is short paranormal romance in the Tales from the Tarot series.  It’s a sequel or side story to Quinn’s novel, Love Potions and Moonlight.  That story, which I haven’t read, is from another multi-author series and shared universe, Cauldrons and Kisses.  Zero Judgment highlights how a story is often hurt by a author’s decision to make a…

Review:  Raising the Sun (Tales from the Tarot) by Eryn Hawk

Rating: 4🌈 The major arcana card THE SUN. Another novel in the wonderful series, Tales from the Tarot, Raising the Sun by Eryn Hawk  got off to a slightly slow start but finished strong and fabulous! Most of that was due to the character of Isaac Miller, a florist down on his luck who summons a demon for a chance to change things up. At first, Isaac just isn’t that likable. He’s whiny, rude,…

Review:  Trust in the Moon (Tales from the Tarot story) by Delaney Rain

Rating: 4.5🌈 Major arcana card The Moon Trust in the Moon (Tales from the Tarot story) by Delaney Rain was just adorable.  It had just the right amount of charm, engaging characters, and a great story that had a cute little twist or two in it that made me laugh and want more. Honestly? Miami drag queen wedding in a Colorado mountain resort setting? Yes! Add in fated mates, spicy best friends,…

Review:  The Nøkk and the Jock (Creepin U Book 1)  by Leslie McAdam

Rating: 4.5🌈 I love it when I learn about different cultures or areas of mythology through stories.  Here it’s about the Nøkk, a Scandinavian or Norse being that shapeshifts into a water dwelling human form that lures people by violin playing and/or drowning by screaming. That’s a simplified version of a complex,  widely accepted concept of a being used in gaming , storytelling derived from…

Review:  Arcanum (Tales from the Tarot story) by Ashlyn Drewek

Rating: 4.5🌈 Tarot card: Temperance  I’m familiar with Ashlyn Drewek’s other dark paranormal novels so I was thrilled to see her work here in this series.  Arcanum is exactly what I hoped for and a story I enjoyed immensely.  Drewek’s novel is gripping and so well written.  From start to finish, it pulls the reader into a suspenseful plot that’s grows into a larger anxiety ridden, terrifying,…

Review:  How To Summon A Memory (a Cauldrons and Kisses story) by Morgan Lysand

Rating: 3🌈 I had started into this universe and the various characters stories with Lysand’s first book, Kisses at the Crossroads (Fortune Favors the Fae series).  That was Lark, an imprisoned fae and a crossroads demon’s love story. It introduced the town of Hex, Indiana and Lysand’s intention of expanding into various other relationships of the side characters in future series and…

Review:  Death Song (Tales from the Tarot story) by B. Ripley

Rating: 3.5🌈 Based on the major arcana card Death. If nothing else, that gorgeous cover, which plays into an element of the story, would have drawn me to the book.   But so do the themes of eternity, love, grief, mourning,fated mates, and death as they play out interestingly over the course of B. Ripley’s Death Song, another in the series, Tales of the Tarot. While I’m not sure if all the…

Review:  By Rude Strength (Tales from the Tarot story) by K.L. Hiers

Rating: 4.5🌈 “This book is based on the major arcana card Strength.” By Rude Strength by K. L. Hiers is a terrific read.  One of the 22 novels in the multi-author series, Tales from the Tarot, Hiers gives us a young man whose world has fallen apart in one day. When we begin the story and meet LA Holmes, he’s being fired from a job he’s loved and held for 10 years. It quickly becomes apparent…
