Keeper ( Matefinder: Next Generation book 1)
By Leia Stone
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What would you do if you found out your mate was dying?
Anya has inherited her mother's gift. Born in a set of twins, she is the next Matefinder and her brother, Jaxon, is her sworn protector. But it looks like finding mates for the werewolf kind isn’t what Spirit has in plan for her. And when she starts dreaming about a human guy in trouble, her whole life changes. With the clock ticking on both of their lives, will Anya be able to do what needs to be done to survive?
*Author note: This is stand alone series that follows the daughter of Kai and Aurora from the Matefinder series twenty years in the future. It is not necessary to read the Matefinder series first.
I loved the Matefinder set and I loved this book! We are now following the next generation. I loved the switch in this it brought something different to the story. It had me glued from start to finish. Loved catching up with the characters from the Matefinder series too. Can’t wait to see where it goes.

Lindsay (1779 KP) rated Winter Frost (Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery #2) in Books
Apr 20, 2022
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 Lair of Bones ( Curse of the Cyren Queen book 1)
Helen Scheuerer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A deadly contest. A vaulting ambition. How far will one cyren go to win?
Mighty cyrens have ruled the ancient lair of Saddoriel for centuries. A cavernous fortress, a subterranean labyrinth of tunnels and levels, powered by magic and music…
From the moment she was born, Roh, the daughter of an infamous criminal, has been despised by her own kind. Restricted to the Lower Sector and forced to work as a common bone cleaner, she has always believed she belongs above: where lies adventure… and power.
Opportunity arises in the form of the Queen’s Tournament, a treacherous set of trials that could see the victor crowned ruler of the entire lair. Up against the most cunning, dangerous cyrens in all the realms, does Roh stand a chance?
This book was just amazing! I’ve never read a world like this before it was just so eerie, cruel and beautiful all in one. The characters are written well and likeable, the world building and story are so good. I really enjoyed the Oremere series that Helen wrote so I knew this would be good!

Diary of a Reformed Mean Girl (Reformed 1)
By CY Jones
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dear Diary
Petty, cruel, mean, and a well known curse word that starts with a B.
Those are words used to describe me.
Now I’m trying to do better.
I want to be a better person, but the forces of evil aren’t making this venture to reform myself easy.
What do you do when your past catches up to you, in the form of hot twins that you used to torment?
Then let’s add in an equally hot best friend, and a jealous Alpha’s daughter to the mix.
How does one reform herself when said past is looking for its own payback?
Do I turn a blind eye, or do I fight back?
The path to reform myself won’t be easy, but I have never been one to back down from a challenge.
I really enjoyed this and read it within an hour and a half. It was easy to read and kept you engrossed. Aspen is definitely an alpha and I’m looking forward to seeing this series play out. CY Jones is one of those writers that has you wanting more. I thought 3⭐️ was too low so went for the 4.

David McK (3623 KP) rated A Darkling Plain (Mortal Engines #4) in Books
Dec 20, 2021
Final part in Philip Reeve's steampunk Predator Cities/Mortal Engines quadrilogy, finally closing off the story of Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw alongside that of their daughter Wren.
This particular entry opens on the character of Theo Ngoni, who here and throughout plays a much larger role than he previously did in Infernal Devices. Theo Ngoni is not the only character to return from previous novels however: Fishcake (yes, that's the name he is given) also plays a large role and finally gets a decent end to his story, as does Professor Pennyroyal (still providing the comic relief), the Stalkers Fang and Shrike (with the latter also finally getting a decent pay-off in the last chapter), and both Oenone Zero and General Naga also returning.
I also have to say that I found this to be the longest of the four stories in the quadrilogy: I'm not sure whether that is because it actually is (I read it as part of an e-book compilation, which makes it hard to compare relevant lengths), because I'd read it back to back with the previous entry, or simply because I was beginning to get tired with the series as a whole!
