By Sara Snow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Caroline and her friends are running out of time in their quest to find answers - and her family - in the shocking fourth installment of the exciting new Destine Academy series.

Sixteen-year-old Caroline and her magically talented friends are racing against the clock to find answers that will lead her to her missing mother and brother. As Caroline’s powers escalate, they find help from an unexpected ally,

...and Caroline is confronted with the possibility that her mother and brother are better off without her.

Between her friends wanting to protect her, and her aunt wanting to control her, Caroline is feeling increasingly out of control of her own life.

Her growing relationships with Aldrick and Corbin complicate matters further as she continues to feel TORN between the two. Caroline and her friends uncover more about Tempeste and The Entiere

...but nothing could have prepared them for what they reveal—and what it means for Caroline.

So we now know the phrophecy and Caroline has unlocked another power! She’s also found and lost all her friends in less than 24 hours! What is her aunt up to? I really like this little series. I like Sara Snow!

Calandra is a powerful merfolk healer who is related to royalty, she just doesn't know how powerful she is. Zale is an attraction at a travelling show what could the two possibly have in common?


This is the first book in the rise of the Grigori series and oh my goodness what a book. I was completely captivated by it from the first page! I found myself struggling at one stage not because it's been badly written it hasn't, but I felt like I was missing out on bits of information and it was only because I was that taken with everything going on in the story I was speed reading to find out what was happening next. I was so gripped by the book that I ended up burning my dinner at one stage. There is so much love and tenderness in this tale it's warming to have it happen between 2 of the characters.


The plot is not on I would expect but I truly and thoroughly enjoyed it and I will be reading the next one in the series. I need to know what happens and how everything is going to be resolved.


Kudos to Talena. Please read I think you will enjoy the adventure

⭐️⭐️⭐️

A stolen US army drone.
A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert.
A secret stash of deadly chemicals.

Each is a threat to global stability. Each can be overcome with only the highest levels of diplomacy. But when those in charge disagree and refuse to back down, an international chain reaction kicks off with potentially catastrophic consequences: a world edging closer to war . . .

Now three people must work with the utmost skill to stop that from happening:

A spy working undercover with jihadis.
A brilliant Chinese spymaster.
A US president beleaguered by a populist rival for the next election.

The only question is – in a game of brinksmanship, can the inevitable ever be stopped?

This took longer than It usually does for me to finish a Ken Follet I did enjoy the book and find it quite current with everything going on in the world at the minute. It was good but I don’t know something was missing for me. I liked the way he worked in those little relationships with certain characters I think those are what actually made the book likeable. I really wanted to love this and be giving it full 5 stars such a shame it fell a little flat.

Jory and her friends are a company called the Badlands Paranormal Society. She receives a frantic call from a woman about her missing husband and there is a mention of Bigfoot! Jory takes on the job to go searching for both the husband and to see if Bigfoot is responsible for the peculiar goings-on on the property involved. Will the Badlands paranormal society teamed with Jory's grandfather be able to discover the source of the mysterious happenings or is it just a wild goose chase?


I thoroughly enjoyed this book I didn't realise it was part of a series and I will be reading the other stories involved.


It's a very insightful plot with a lot of interesting things that the Ojibwe follow and believe in. I don't want to say too much and give away the story as it is much more fun to go on the journey first-hand.


Christy is very captivating with his writing and leaves you wanting more, I wasn't ready for the book to finish I turned the page over and was disappointed that there was no more to read!


Hope you enjoy it as much as I did


A recommendation from me.

SNOWBODY LOVES ME is the second book in the multi-author seasonal series, Christmas Falls. You don't have to have read book one to get this one, but you're missing out on a brilliant story.

Arlo is the owner of one of the B&Bs and Emerson is the one lucky enough to find a spare room when everywhere is fully booked up. It is insta-lust, quickly followed by insta-love. To be fair, they don't act upon the insta-lust immediately with neither of them sure what is going on or how long Emerson will be staying.

There are lots of pluses for this book, but I do wish they would have spoken a little more about the big things. I know it can be scary to put yourself out there, but surely getting a solid answer is better than a lifetime of uncertainty.

This was a fun, low-angst, seasonal romance set in a town I am coming to love. Definitely recommended by me.
