Witch’s Rebirth ( Unholy Trinity book 5)
By Crystal Ash

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

I'm done running. It's time to end this.

The only problem? Our enemies have weapons that can kill demons.

I won't let any of my loved ones die. But my lovers won't let me fight alone. If I do, we all know I won't come back.

We have to rely on our new shifter friends for support, as well as each other. Even though I'm fighting my feelings for the stormy-eyed outsider, I'm starting to believe I can trust him.

When he offers himself up as a sacrifice for me, will it force us to confront the brewing storm between us? Or will this plan backfire terribly?

Most importantly, will this move save us and the future of all witches?


I have really enjoyed this series as will be adding it to my hard copy collections! I’m so glad Ryhem was saved I got a little disheartened at the end of book 4! And I’m glad to see all is right with Lilith her men and the world! Possibly a slightly rushed ending but still good!

Lauren Carr does is once again. This book Winter Frost is filler of mystery. It will pull you into the story from the first page to last page. I loved it.

As we know Chris, and his family. We also have Helen and her daughter. We running into and meet Chris supposed dead wife Blair. We also have Murphy join forces with Chris Matheson. I love that the author did this. Bring Murphy and Tristan into the mix. They were more of sub characters but almost like the main characters.

The story was really told well. I can say the narrator did wonderful. I hope to see more mix of the other series like having Chris be brought in with his book club into the other series. I was really surprised and happy when I heard Murphy name when he was helping with Chris escape. We have action from the beginning to the end.

If you have not picked up Lauren Carr books you are missing something. Pick any of her books and you will be hooked. I can not wait to read more. So glad to have two more to read or listen to this time around. Mystery lovers and Crime and detective loves would love these books and series.

A VERY WITCHY YULETIDE is a seasonal standalone romance that involves Pagans. It isn't all about paganism and rituals. If you are looking for that then I can suggest a multitude of other books but this isn't one of them. Saying that, I enjoyed how it was incorporated into the story. It is something they feel/do every day but the Sabbats are special, as are Naming Days, etc.

Eeva and Sawyer were young star-crossed lovers - neither of them prepared to make that first step and both of them feeling let down by the other. Five years later, they get a second chance.

This is a warm and low-angst story that will melt your heart on a cold winter night. Eeva and Sawyer have a great supporting cast, including Sol who was adorable.

The descriptions are very well done and the pacing is perfect for the story. All in all, this was a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

ALPHA MINE is the story of Monte, an Omega promised to a rival pack for many years, where it is finally happening. He's not happy with it, but doesn't see a way out of it. Everything changes on the Night of the Blood Moon, when Monte asks the Goddess for help and has a kiss with an unnamed Alpha, who sweeps him off his feet. Only trouble is, it turns out that Alpha is the brother of the one Monte is to be married to.

This was a really good slow-burn read, with Monte finding his place and Felix being all honourable. Hunter is a bit of a d!ck in this, but I'm hoping he will get a story and an HEA of his own in the future. The two scenes where Felix and Monte are together are steamy, but they don't take over the whole story.

A story that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending for other paranormal romance lovers.

** Same worded review will appear elsewhere. **

A Courtesan’s Scandal by Julia London
Rating: 3/5
Genre: Historical Fiction


My Summary: Kate is a courtesan who only lives the way she does to keep herself from being tossed into the streets. She is “sold” to the Prince of Whales, but as the price is married, he cannot afford a scandal. While the prince divorces his wife, he instructs the Duke of Darlington to be seen in public with Kate so that nobody suspects him. But Kate and Grayson, the Duke, aren’t expecting to fall in love.

Thoughts: I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, it was pretty entertaining at times, but on the other it was hard to sit down and read more than a few chapters at a time. I found the story rather trivial, really it was all silly politics and unfaithfulness in marriage.

I couldn’t finish this book. I got to the part where they fall in love (a little more than halfway) and just didn’t have the patience to finish it. There wasn’t much of a story line besides, again, politics and reputation and sex.

Characters: The characters were the strong point in this book. They were very real and well developed immediately, and I enjoyed their dialogue.

Writing: The writing was also very good. It’s very refreshing to read a novel that uses good sentence structure and a wide range of vocabulary. The prose flowed nicely.

Content: There was no language, but some sex in the book. The scenes were pretty outlined and there were a few pages I skipped. Occasionally a man is drunk and says something a bit odd, but other than that there are no major alcohol references.

Recommendation: Ages 16+ (18+ if you’re picky about content) to lovers of historical fiction and romance, and quick easy reads.
