Broken Bonds ( The Bonds that Tie 1)
By J. Bree
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself
I’ve read quite a few with similar stories to this I think this one was one of the best I’ve read, these characters pulled out all the emotions. I have never wanted to see punch a character more than I have with these men that Happen to be bonded to her. Looking forward to seeing where this series goes.

Sour Candy
By Kealan Patrick Burke
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
At first glance, Phil Pendleton and his son Adam are just an ordinary father and son, no different from any other. They take walks in the park together, visit county fairs, museums, and zoos, and eat overlooking the lake. Some might say the father is a little too accommodating given the lack of discipline when the child loses his temper in public. Some might say he spoils his son by allowing him to set his own bedtimes and eat candy whenever he wants. Some might say that such leniency is starting to take its toll on the father, given how his health has declined. What no one knows is that Phil is a prisoner, and that up until a few weeks ago and a chance encounter at a grocery store, he had never seen the child before in his life.
Yea this would put you off having a kid for life! Brill I absolutely loved short,dark and sour!

Enlightened Ascent ( The Pearson Prophecy 2)
By Jen L Grey
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Afraid the king will find out she's not truly dead, Ariah flees from the kingdom, leaving her family and enemies behind to think the worst. She thinks she's finally struck a bit of luck with the help of a prince, but when he betrays her, she realizes she'd only had a false sense of security.
On the run again, betrayed and in pain, Ariah vows to never be weak again. Soon, she finds herself in another kingdom as an untrustworthy outsider, but she's determined to make it her new home.
However, her fate begins to unravel in the presence of another persistent royal. Now, to fulfill her destiny, Ariah must make a decision as the war looms closer.
This was so much better than the first book Ariah really comes into her own. She takes charge of herself and her growing powers it shows what someone can do when they are pushed too far. Really enjoyed it.

The Ash’bani ( The Five Angels 2)
By Kimberly M. Ringer
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Everything has changed. Megan has lost her ability to see the future and CJ is a Vernadali. An Angels Blessed Vernadali at that. What does that even mean?
When Clarice gets a message that her father is dying, Megan and CJ come home to travel with Clarice to Obsecuritan. No one knows what awaits them there, but they can only hope that they can find answers as to how they can stop Ansel.
Clarice’s closely guarded secrets are about to be revealed, but at what cost? And just what is Ansel up to?
This was a vast improvement on book 1 it had more story and more grounding. I actually enjoyed most of it. The only thing that really bothered me was the slushy mushy stuff and yea I get the love and strength that is between CJ and Megan but come on it was over bearing. Really overbearing!!! I do want to see where it goes though as things make a lot more sense.

Shifting Flames ( Bound by Fire 1)
By Victoria A. Williams
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hunted, persecuted and taken as slaves, the Fire Born know one thing, hide or die.
When Cyra is taken by the terrifying Prince Theron to become a slave in Wolfram Citadel, she must adapt or fight. Beautiful and ferocious, Cyra would rather die, killing as many of her enemy as she can, than submit to them.
Prince Theron knows his enemy, his duty and to follow his orders. Kill the Fire Born, protect the country. So why does he refuse to kill the ferocious Fire Born girl keeping her hidden instead? His beliefs and sanity are challenged and he is drawn to her even knowing he risks being burnt.
If you enjoy slow burn enemies to lovers romance, epic fantasy world building and elemental magic then this is the book for you. Enjoy it while it’s hot.
This was pretty decent read a good fantasy fire vs ice! Characters we’re interesting the story was interesting. I can’t help but think I’ve read a similar book though.

An Ember in the Ashes (Book 1)
By Sabaa Tahir
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Under the Martial Empire, defiance is met with death.
When Laia’s grandparents are brutally murdered and her brother arrested for treason by the empire, the only people she has left to turn are the rebels.
But in exchange for their help in saving her brother, they demand that Laia spy on the ruthless Commandant of Blackcliff, the Empire’s greatest military academy. Should she fail it’s more than her brother’s freedom at risk…Laia’s very life is at stake.
There, she meets Elias, the academy’s finest soldier. But Elias wants only to be free of the tyranny he’s being trained to enforce. He and Laia will soon realize that their destinies are intertwined – and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself.
This was a really good read. I really enjoyed it. A fantasy with decent characters and a good plot line. I’m interested to see where it’s going.

If you really want to know how I feel about Ragwort, just to say that I requested it on NetGalley, then immediately pre-ordered it on Kindle so that not only did I guarantee myself a copy, but the publisher also sent me cut scenes from the previous book, Gorse.
Totally worth it.
This is as jam packed with Cornish folk and magic as Gorse was, and after the disaster at the end of Gorse, the inhabitants of Mirecoombe are looking for something to believe in: the Old Ways, the Church…or the new name in town. The Mother. Just who is she anyway?
Th new Vicar is wonderful (let’s just say he’s open minded), Nancy is still learning the ropes as Keeper and missing Pet terribly. And then there’s the arrival of Nancy’s grandmother - and everything that comes after.
I’m being vague, and for good reason. If you haven’t started this series yet, I highly recommend it. I can’t wait for the final book in this series (if that’s what it’s going to be!!).

Justice ( Out for Blood book 3)
By C.Y. Jones
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶🌶🌶
Choices
My brother chose to die to save me, and I chose to let him go.
My world has been thrown upside down, and the only path that’s clear is me killing O’Donnell.
My twin was my sanity, the saving thread keeping me from going off the deep end, but now he’s gone.
They say I was meant to save the world, but now all I want to do is see it burn down to the ground with O’Donnell suffocating within the ashes.
Can my mates pull me back or will I destroy them along with myself?
At first I wanted Revenge, which quickly turned to Vengeance, now I want Justice and I don’t care how I get it.
This was better than Vengeance I really enjoyed it. I didn’t see the link between this series and the Crown of Blood and frost series I really like that link and can’t wait to see if they meet again. Oh my Rowan 🥹

Where Bad Girls go to Fall (Good Girls 2)
By Holly Renee
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Enamored Reads Nothing good came from listening to my heart. It was careless and irrational and became way too invested when I read a romance novel. So I put her under lock and key. I only had a few rules, and I always stuck with them. 1. Never get attached. 2. Always run before the feels become contagious. 3. No matter what, under no circumstances, never fall in love. He was a playboy who ran by the same set of rules. What we had together was fun, it was hot, and it was temporary. Until he screwed everything up. We were never meant to be each other's happily ever after, but the harder I tried to push him away, the further I fell.
This is such a feel good series where love comes in through and gives you that mushy feeling with a bit of spice. Yes, I don’t do too many romance feels but how can you not when it’s this cute?

The Demonic ( Supernatural Horror book 1)
By Lee Mountford
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Danni thought she knew fear…
But this house will show her what it is to be truly afraid.
Called back to a childhood home, she must lay to rest a father that made her life hell. But something else waits for her in that house. Something far beyond what she could possibly imagine. Restless spirits and an insidious demon ensure this homecoming is one of nightmares.
Can Danni save her family… and her very soul? To do so, she must face the ghosts of her past as well as an ancient and malevolent evil.
You will love this haunted house novel, because who really needs to sleep at night?
So to get the most out of this book read it during the night in the pitch black! Well that’s what I did 😂 got to admit a few times I actually got seriously spooked and had some crazy dreams! A really good haunting of the demonic. I really enjoy Lee’s books another brilliant British horror writer.
