Review for Perfectly Arranged (The Hopeful Hearts Series #1) by Liana George

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book/series by Liana George so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i really enjoyed this one. It reminded me alot like watching a Small Town Christian Movie. 

The Characters were really enjoyable to read about. Nicole "Nicki" Mayfield was definately my favorite especially how she took a new job offer being a Personal Origanizer for clients after closing up her business. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in a small town while reading, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Good Book 1 in this Christian Fiction Series about a Personal Organizer helping  a family when she finds their belongings connected to China!! Can't wait to read Book 2 soon!!

Review for The Mysterious Affair at Styles (Hercule Poirot #1) by Agatha Christie

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Even tho ive seen MANY TV Adaptions over the year of Hercule Poirot over the year's ive NEVER Read any in Agatha Christie's Book Series so i thought this year was the perfect time to devour into the series and im so glad i did. 

I truly enjoyed this one so much which made it hard to put this one down since so much happened that i was intrigued to find out WHO committed the Murder at Styles. 

The Characters were so interesting and intriguing to read about. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in The UK while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a very enjoyable Book 1 in this Mystery Series about Fictional Detective Hercule Poirot!! Can't wait to read more books by Agatha in the future!!

Review for Death in High Places (Troubled Waters #2) by Sara L Jameson

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Travelling Pages and Sara L James for sending me this FREE COPY to review and promote for them as part of The Book Tour this weekend!! 

This was only my 2nd time reading a book in this series by Sara so i kind of knew what to expect and i have to say i loved this one alot more then i did Book 1, Cruise to Death, since this one was more fast paced and made many references to Agatha Christie, one of my favorite Mystery Authors!! 

The Characters were so interesting and intriguing to read about. Riley Williams and Jacob Coulter are still my favorites.  Frenie was okay but i was very skeptical of her since the beginning as i felt she wasnt telling Riley and Jacob the truth. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Antwerp, Belguim, Brussels Belguim, Vienna and London England while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenal Book 2 in this Mystery Series about stopping Terrorist Attacks in Europe!! Can't wait to read more by Sara in the future!!

Review for Cruise to Death (Troubled Waters #1) by Sara L Jameson

   
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book/series by Sara L Jameson and also was my first time reading  a Mystery set on a Cruise Ship so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say surprisingly enjoyed this one. 

The Characters were very interesting and enjoyable to read about. Riley Williams and Jacob Coulter were definately my favorites. Riley because of her help with stopping two terrorists transferring a Deadly Agent to bidders and Jacob for his determination to find and arrest the two terrorists from Belguim. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Brussels Belguim while reading, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Good Book 1 in this Mystery Series by Sara!! Can't wait to read Book 2 soon!!

Review for Last One Home by Debbie Macomber

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Another Phenomenal Contemporary Romance by Debbie Macomber!! This one was very layed back and enjoyable lighthearted one to read. 

The Characters were so enjoyable and fun to read about. Cassie, Karen and Nichole were definately my favorites. I could really relate to all 3 of them on different levels. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was really in the story with the characters especially when the scenery of Seattle Washington was described. 

Overall a Phenomenally lighthearted Contemporary Romance!! I do wish this was part of a series cause i'd love to see where The Carter Sisters are now!! Can't wait to read more by Debbie in the future!!

Review for Everwish (The Primati Witches #1) by Amelia Oz

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to BooksForward for sending me this FREE E-Arc Copy to review for them as part of their review crew!! 

This was my first time reading a book/series by Amelia Oz so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to expect but i have to say i really enjoyed this one more then i thought i would. This book reminded me alot of The OG Charmed and Nickelodeon's 2010's Teen Show Every Witch Way. 

The Characters were very enjoyable and fun to read about. Vivian, Stella and Amanda were definately my favorites. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Oregon while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenally Fun Book 1 to read in this Fantasy Series about Witches in Oregon!! Can't wait to read Book 2 soon!!

Review for The Last Lumenian ( The Last Lumenian #1) by SG Blaise

  
Rating: 4.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Travelling Page Tours and SG Blaise for sending me this FREE ARC COPY to review and promote for them as part of The Book Tour next week!! 

This was my first time reading a book/series by SG so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i enjoyed it for the most part. The First 14 Chapters were wonderful, really pulled me into the storyline. Chapters 15-18 were very dull for me with what seemed like not alot going on but that may of just been me. I was glad Chapter 15 and on did pick up for me. 

The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. I had a hard time picking a favorite since i seemed to enjoy all the characters for different reasons. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually on the island of Fye while reading. 

Overall a Good Book 1 in this Sci-Fi Fantasy Series!! If Chapters 15 and on werent so dull reading i would of gave this a 5 Star Rating!! Can't wait to read Book 2 when it comes out!! 

Review for A Court of Silver Fames (A Court of Thorns and Roses #4) by Sarah J Maas

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
OMG I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH!!! This book really put it over the top for me since it was a fun and exciting!!  

The Characters were absolutely amazing to read about. Feyre is still my favorite the way she took a stand of voicing her opinion when Rhys tried to cut her off was pure perfection to me. Nesta is SLOWLY becoming a 2nd Favorite  of mine since i loved how she FINALLY spoke the TRUTH about Rhys. I still can not stand Cassian along with  Mor, the arrogantness they brought into this book got on my nerves more then once but they are also characters i LOVE to Hate!! 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Varlise and at The Spring Court while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall A Phenomenal End to this series!! I truly feel like all the storylines were wrapped up perfectly in a box with a bow. I do HOPE Sarah will write Books 3.2 and 5 to this Amazing YA Fantasy Series cause i can see where there could be more added to it!! 

Review for A Court of Frost and Starlight (A Court of Thorns and Roses #3.1) by Sarah J Maas

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
I didnt think it was possible to love this series anymore but this book topped it for me which now OFFICIALLY makes Sarah J Maas my FAVORITE Fantasy Author of all time!! 

The Characters were still so interesting and intriguing to read about. Feyre is still my favorite, i dont think there's anything she can do to make me dislike her. Tamalin, Rhys and Cassalin ar still characters i can't stand especially when Cassalin got nasty to Feyre about The Winter Solstice Party in Chapter 2. 

The Setting was still so beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading especially when the description of The Winter Solstice Party came up. 

Overall Another Phenomenal Book in this YA Fantasy Series by Sarah!! Can't wait to read Book 4 soon!!

Review for A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses #3) by Sarah J Maas

  
Rating: 4.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
WOW What a ride this book gave me!! Writing this review was hard to put into words since alot of what happened left me speechless saying "What the?!" and "Whoa i did not see that coming". Even tho this is the only 3rd book ive read by Sarah J Mass and in this series i do have to say this series is becoming my 2nd Favorite YA Fantasy Series ive read so far this year and overall!! 

The Characters were still so interesting and intriguing to read about. Im still not a big fan of Tamlin and Rhys in more ways then one. Feyre is still my favorite especially when she was trying to defend her friends when her family said other wise. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book with the characters especially when the Spring Court was going on as well as the part with The High Lords. 

Part 2 was my favorite of the book by far. I felt it was more fast paced and entertaining opposed to the other parts of the story. 

Overall Another Good Book in this YA Fantasy Series by Sarah!! I didnt care much for Part 1 since it was too descriptive in my opinion and is why i took a star off my rating. Cna't wait to read Book 3.1 and Book 4 soon!!

Review for Behind the Lie (Sylvan #2) by Emilya Naymark

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to BooksForward for sending me this FREE E-ARC Copy to review for them as part of their review crew last year!! Even tho this is only the 2nd book ive read in this series and by Emilya, i have to say she is becoming a new favorite author of mine especially since i loved how fast paced and back and forth this book was. 

The Characters were still so interesting and intriguing to read about. Laney is definately still my favorite. Im a little questionable about how i felt about Holly since she came off as very sketchy and sneaky even tho at times she tried to do the right thing. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Sylvan NY while reading especially since i live in NY State and since the description of the scenery made me feel like i was in the book. 

Overall Another Good Book in this Mystery/Thriller Series!! Can't wait to read more in this series and by Emilya in the future!! 

Review of Hide in Place (Sylvan #1) by Emilya Naymark

  
Rating: 5 Stars!!

I dont know if ive ever read a book about a child going missing but i have to say it was a great opening to this Mystery Thriller Book/Series by Emilya Naymark which was also my first time reading a book by her so i wasnt sure what to expect but surprisingly i loved it very much!! 

The Characters were so intriguing to read about. I can't pick just one favorite since i seemed to enjoy all the characters in this book/series.

Rating: 5 Stars!!

This was my first time reading a Thriller by Sara so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i did enjoy this one very much even tho it read more like a Mystery then it did a Thriller even tho it had Thriller Vibes to it. 

The Characters were so interesting and enjoyable to read about. I didnt have any favorites since i enjoyed all of the characters. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading, especially when the scenery was described.

Thank you to Atria Books for picking me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a giveaway in their email newsletter last year!! 

This was my first time reading a book by Armando so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i really loved and truly adored this book so much especially since it was about 4 Woman trying to right the wrongs of their families 80 years in the making and since this book was named after a poem!! 

The Characters were so enjoyable and intriguing to read about. Ally, Lillith, Nadine and Luna were my favorites. I loved how each of their characters evolved over time and how they each tried to survive The Nazi's as much as they could even tho for 2 of the Women ended deadly. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in 1939 Berlin Germany, 1959 Havana and 1988 New York City while reading, especially when the scenery was described.

This was my first time reading a Contemporary Fiction Book/Series by Shelley so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i throughly enjoyed this one very much. It reminded me alot of Wanda E Brunstetter's Half Stitch Quilting Club but without the craft aspect to it. 

The Characters were so interesting and enjoyable to read about. Mary Margaret, Jayson Raber and Lilly were my favorites. I loved how their friendships evolved and learning about their life history.

Review for The Pigeon Pie Mystery by Julia Stuart

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book by Julia Stuart so i wasnt sure what to expect but surprisingly i enjoyed this one more then i thought i would. It reminded me alot of Agatha Raisin meets Midsomer Mysteries. 

The Characters were enjoyable and entertaining to read about. Princess Alexandrina was definately my favorite especially when she was trying to deal with her father's death, which i could relate to. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in England while reading, especially when the scenery was described.

Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book by Howard Frank Mosher so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say this was an enjoyable and hearttouching Memoir!! 

There was 3 Parts to this book: Faith, Hope and Love. Each part had a different yet unique story to it. Faith was about how Howard lived by his Faith all through his life and decided to write a Novel about his life's journey. Hope was about learning he had Prostate Cancer in the 1980s and deciding what to do about it. Love was about overcoming oppstials in life that sometimes seem like they are tearing us down. 

Overall a Good Memoir with many life lessons in it!! Can't wait to read more by Howard in the future!!
