Review: Broken

Broken Broken by Jex Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

[bookcover:Broken|34447556]
What can I say about Broken except I'm brokenhearted I finished it.

Jex Lane has outdone herself once again. Just when I thought she couldn't possibly top Sire... she does. The story is so captivating from page one to the very last. My heart ached, was full of joy, and was completely pissed off at times, but that is how I know these books are the real deal. They make me feel anything and everything.

It's going to be a long year waiting for the next installment, but I have a feeling something else, Jex Lane, has up her sleeve will keep us satisfied.

Thank you, Jex Lane, for providing such a wonderful world to escape to, even if it's only for a little while. Well done!

Review: Chained

Chained Chained by Adrienne Wilder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chained
As I've stated in my review of Book 1, I'm a huge fan of these novels. The story line is completely engaging and Chained just up the fascination with the addition of several ruthless characters. This novel had me reading quickly trying to find out what would happen and where the story would go.

Again, our main characters are feeling their way through this unusual world where Kaleb is making a few friends and Leo is making a few enemies.

Another story well done Adrienne Wilder can't wait to read the next installment.

Review: The Chimera

The Chimera The Chimera by Adrienne Wilder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Chimera
Interesting world created and a big fan of the story. The story is completely engaging and had me turning the pages quickly to see what would happen. Kaleb is a dream character with just the right amount of innocence and smarts to make him memorable.

Leo, is a lion, but can only roar. He's complicated, domineering but a complete cub underneath it all. Not that you'll know that, it's the underlining of the story I believe. Or, perhaps I'm completely wrong. *runs off to read the next volume*

Well done Arienne Wilder your story is fabulous!

Review: Miriamne the Magdala

Miriamne the Magdala Miriamne the Magdala by J.B. Richards
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Miriamne the Magdala-The First Chapter in the Yeshua and Miri Novel Series by JB Richards

What can I say about this masterpiece 2000 years in the making? I will admit, I was reluctant to read this novel believing it was about Jesus and the bible. Boy how wrong I was and I've never been happier to be wrong either. This story, at its core, is about young love and the struggles that plague us all when falling in love for the first time.

What a delightful, intriguing page turner this turned out to be. I was mesmerized throughout the entire story. Yeshua and Miriamne are the perfect couple. Although, we know of Yeshua's destiny it didn't damper this story one bit.

The way JB Richards weaves this story through this novel with beautiful scenery, explanations of so much misunderstood text, and the subtle way in which she handles the miracles preformed throughout the story, is nothing short of brilliant. In one scene in particular, Miri births a goat and after reading this scene I truly feel as if I was in the room watching the scene unfold. Brilliant, simply brilliant.

Thank you JB Richards for sharing such an inspirational story and persuading me to see the novel for what it is, a young love story that will fill your heart and soul.

Review: The Body on the Barstool

The Body on the Barstool The Body on the Barstool by Lolli Powell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Body on the Barstool (A Top Shelf Mystery) by Lolli Powell

What an intriguing story about love, loss and murder. What starts off as a simple murder –a body found on a bar stool in Erica Fountain's tavern –turns into healing the past, present and future for everyone involved.

This story swept me in from page one and kept me guessing to the end, which is saying a lot, for I am the type of person who can usually figure out the ending before it happens. Not this time which was quite delightful.

Highly recommended, this cozy mystery is well constructed and the written words flow flawlessly throughout the entire novel.

Well done Lolli Powell!
