Review: Westernville (Echoes of New York Book 5) by Jordan Elizabeth by Jordan Elizabeth

Synopsis Alice Tisdale doesn't remember her life before her family moved to Westernville in the early 1800s. Their home sprawls over acres of lush farmland. But Alice won't go past the edge of the woods, where shadows loom beneath the trees. Monsters seem to watch her from the ferns. Her parents call it nonsense, but she knows there is evil out there. When the neighbor's little boy disappears, Alice's family is blamed, even though they had nothing to do with it. Her family laughs off the curse, but one by one, lightning strikes them down. Alice must find the missing child if the Tisdales want a future in Westernville.   Add to Goodreads Shelf   Review Story about a scared little girl, a curse, and a woman touched with madness. It's everything a good story should be. I loved the setting and the characters. The story is well-written and keeps you on the edge until the very end. What's the mystery behind a small boy's disappearance? Read and find out. If you en...

Review: The Poet by Lisa Renee Jones

Synopsis “The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth.”  -Jean Cocteau Some call him friend or boss. Some call him husband or dad. Some call him son, even a favorite son. But the only title that matters to him is the one the media has given him: The Poet. A name he earned from the written words he leaves behind after he kills that are as dark and mysterious as the reason he chooses his victims. One word, two, three, a story in a poem, a secret that only Detective Samantha Jazz can solve. Because he’s writing this story for her. She just doesn’t know it yet. Add to Goodreads Shelf Review I'm not a fan of thrillers/crime fiction. This book was my adventure, and it turned out far better than I expected. Amazing! Simply amazing. That's what it is; a page turner. Something you wouldn't be able to put down once you started reading. The story, the characters, the premise, and all the twists and turns will keep you hooked until the very end. I highly recommend this book. It'...

Review: Clay House by Jordan Elizabeth

Synopsis When the land remembers evil, no one is safe. When fifteen-year-old Tatiana Barrie and her family move to a small town in New York, the locals say their new home, known as Clay House, is haunted. The Barries should have believed them. Soon Tatiana's little brother starts acting strange. He sees imaginary friends; he knows things he shouldn't. Tatiana's stepfather becomes abusive and erratic. Between possessed dolls and an unknown evil taking over her family, Tatiana is terrified more every day. She should be even more afraid. Add to Goodreads Shelf Review I loved this ghost story. It's well-paced, creepy, and has a very satisfactory ending. Especially, I loved how the past and present stories were told side by side. The Clay house history and present, both are captured beautifully in this short and quick read. Tatiana's family move to the Clay house and that's when things start to go down hill for them. The house has a history which is both sad and horr...

Review: Girl Long Gone by Danielle M. Haas

Synopsis Monica’s stomach fluttered with excitement as she told the interesting man she’d been flirting with online for weeks all about her weekend plans. He was a great match, and they had so many things in common. But sometimes your life can come down to one single bad decision... NYPD Computer-crimes detective Connor Mitchel’s sister is missing. As he combs through his sister’s life, he realizes Monica might not have been this killer’s first target—or his last. In a twisted game of cat and mouse, Connor thinks he’s finally found the man responsible for his sister’s disappearance. Unfortunately, he’ll first need to convince the shy, distrustful Evelyn Price she could be the next victim tangled in the murderer’s web if she doesn’t agree to help him catch the killer. But just as Connor and Evelyn close in on their quarry, the killer has one last trick up his sleeve that could trap them all… Add to Goodreads Shelf Review This book is much darker than what I usually l...

Review: Thomasine by Jordan Elizabeth

Synopsis Thomasine Lisowski has always hated her grandmother’s farm. A dark presence hovers over it. She’s thankful they moved to the city when she was younger, but now she and her parents are back for a funeral and that dark aura is stronger than ever.

A ghost leads Thomasine to suspect there’s more to the farm than just her imagination going wild. Mysterious murderers and a cult-like mindset stain the Lisowski name. This trip to the country might be Thomasine’s last – because the family plans to never let her leave. Add to Goodreads Shelf 5-Stars Review I loved it! This book is perfect for paranormal thriller fans. And if you like a good ghost story then you might not be able to put it down once you started reading. The story is gripping and I enjoyed the time jumps. Glimpsing into both the past and the present of one family and their family curse. My only issue with this book is that it ended too soon. I wanted to keep reading. But I also love that it ended very...

Review: Slaying Alven by Jordan Elizabeth

Synopsis In 1600, Alven took revenge on her neglectful family through the dark arts. Her village burned her as a witch, but she immortalized herself as a Wittewijven, the Dutch spirit of a healer, and sought the English god who’d taught her his evil magic. He created a world for her, but she had to populate it by kidnapping people from Earth. Death haunts the living. When Alven tried to take Tanneke Van Nuys in the twenty-first century, her father died before her eyes. Since that night, Tanneke has not spoken a word. Now at fifteen, her family travels back to her great-aunt’s house in Albany. The last time she was there, she met the Wittewijven. Although determined to face the spirit to regain her voice, Tanneke doesn’t expect to lose the rest of her family. Revenge taints the blood. Alven scatters Tanneke’s sisters and stepfather across her world. Tanneke can’t just free them. She has to kill Alven, but to get to her she must defeat the English god and decide if she c...

Review: Requiem, Changing Times by R.J. Parker

Synopsis Clint and Corbin are having a weird day. Best friends for life, things are getting a little strange around their town, and at school. When they're followed by a strange man looking for Clint and later attacked by an imp, it makes sense to retreat to the safety of home. But when strangers from another world, Banks and O'Neil, arrive with their medley of allies, things get even weirder. Why are they here? What do they want? And what is The Requiem that everyone keeps talking about? As Clint and his friends and family are drawn deeper into a thrilling adventure, only one thing is for sure. They may not be getting out alive. And class with Mrs Christenson will seem like a walk in the park after this. Add to Goodreads Shelf Review This is an interesting story and I enjoyed reading it. It's a fantasy book in a series that revolves around two worlds. There are various supernatural creatures and it's written in a way that feels like a real adventure. That s...

Review: Ionic Attraction by D.R. Rosensteel

Synopsis Zach’s got a secret. The only reason he’s agreed to an internship at the Mastermind Complex, a high-tech academy for teens, is to use their supercomputer to find the person who framed him. He never stole anything but was locked up in juvie anyway. Now he’s out, he’s got a plan, and nothing will get in his way…not even the girl he’s been partnered with, who excels at proving opposites attract. Jane’s got a secret. She was the informant who led to Zach’s arrest. Did she mean for that to happen? No way. And now she has to work with him to save the world. Because an “internship” at the Mastermind Complex is actually a program to train super-geniuses as soldiers in a war of the minds. Zach’s and Jane’s intellectual skills complement each other, making them an unbeatable pair. She can’t resist their ionic attraction, but if he ever discovers the truth, she’ll lose him forever. And worse, breaking their partnership would mean sacrificing all the innocent lives depending ...

Review: What a Scot Wants by Amalie Howard & Angie Morgan

Synopsis Highlander Ronan Maclaren must marry, but he’s in no particular hurry. He’s perfectly happy as the laird of his clan, running the Maclaren Whisky Distillery, and besides, he just hasn’t found the right woman. Lady Imogen Kinley has cleverly avoided wedlock for years. Men, she has learned from painful experience, are not to be trusted. Determined to remain independent, she takes an indecent amount of pleasure in making herself as unattractive to potential suitors as possible. When desperate measures are taken by their parents and a betrothal contract is signed, it’s loathing at first sight. They each vow to make the other cry off—by any means necessary. But what starts out as a battle of wits...quickly dissolves into a battle of wills. Add to Goodreads Shelf Review I loved this story. It's interesting, funny at times, but also quite dark at others. All in all, this is a great read and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys good historical fiction. ...

Review: Drakon's Knight by N.J. Walters

Synopsis Drakon Jericho Drake, the child of a pure-blood dragon and human, has a simple plan: Kill the leader of the Knights of the Dragon and start a war. Except, when he meets his target, Karina Azarov, she can’t remember who she is. Worst of all––he can’t kill her. His dragon side has just claimed the dangerous woman as his mate. Karina has no idea why these Drakon’s have taken her to their home. And she most certainly does not understand why she’s so drawn to her captor. Maybe because he’s strong, intelligent, and caring, in his enigmatic sort of way. One thing she knows, he’s not going to hurt her. If only she could remember something from her past that would explain why these Drakon’s hate her so much. But if her memory returns, mated or not, he may get his war.. And one of them will die. Add to Goodreads Shelf Review It's a very thrilling and romantic story. I quite enjoyed reading it. There wasn't a dull moment in this book. A story about Drakons and Kni...
