In this third novel in the Jackson’s Pond, Texas series, fifty-five-year-old Melanie Jackson Banks encounters racism, intolerance, and violence both in her family’s distant past and in current day Jackson’s Pond. She leads family and community efforts to create reconciliation for past wrongs and also to demonstrate strength and defiance in the face of vandalism, cross-burning, domestic violence, threats to Jackson Ranch’s operation, and kidnapping. In the midst of this stormy period, she finds allies in her mother’s long-time companion, Robert Stanley; her mother, Willa Jackson; her daughter Claire Havlicek; and many others.

3.5 stars, again.

This series started out as a guilty pleasure, I shouldn't have liked it for what it was about but I couldn't help it. I was completely dragged in and as the plotline has progressed so have the characters.

Julz used to be ruthless but was broken in the last book and has become more emotional(It's unusual after getting used to her in the previous books).

Jase...well I've always loved Jase. He's always come across as a nice guy and different to the rest of his family.

In this, they came together at last and I really liked them together, the times when they were happy. BUT not everything goes as planned and in the way the author has, she's left it on a bit of a cliff-hanger. I really need to read [b:One Love|22736757|One Love (Gypsy Brothers, #7)|Lili St. Germain|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1405611736s/22736757.jpg|42275650] to see how everything is going to work out in the last book of the series.

Ever since Kai revealed the supernatural race to the humans, riots and chaos have reigned down on Mount Hood. Aurora is going crazy just sitting around and waiting for Layla to show up so that Aurora can finish her task and kill her, bringing peace to her pack. Kai does everything in his power to keep Aurora safe and confined on the heavily guarded mountain. But he should know that no one can really keep Aurora from the things she wants in life. She is determined to find Layla and end this war, forever. But at what cost?


I have enjoyed this series so much! The last book did not disappoint it was full of emotion and strong women! I love the was Leia writes here supernaturals they are just so refreshing. Can’t wait to be reading more from the spin off series excited to see what the next Generation brings!

The start of a new series by Felicity Heaton and what a start. Apollyon is still faithfully doing his duty and yet wants to be free from 'the fires of hell' and feel the sun on his wings again. Serenity has had a bad break-up from her cheating boyfriend and wants revenge, she wants him to feel as bad as she does. Both her heart and her words call out and Apollyon answers. I've got to say that if I was looking for revenge on an ex in this way then I would certainly hope for someone like Apollyon to drop into my life!

This is only a novella so the storyline is fast-paced so that everything is in place before it finishes. I can see this series being another hit for Felicity Heaton and am looking forward to reading more.

My April 2023 reads!

13 not a good month I’ve struggled to read again which is not good when you have a tbr like mine 😂😂.
Although those I have read I’ve enjoyed! I have ended some of series I’ve been reading as they just started to bore me.

3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 DNFS

My favourite book of the month is The Familiars by Stacey Halls!
I would have picked Throne of Glass but as this is a reread for me I decided to pick a book I haven’t read.


My least favourite is The Redemed by Matthew Hall this was a slippery slope and I had to DNF the next one in the series as I just got bored of it.

My DNFS were not as high this month I just couldn’t get on with so many and I’m a great believer in not reading something just for the sake of it.
