Middle Grade Fantasy/Mythology

Book 2 in a fast paced series full of Egyptian mythology. Lots of action and small interesting tidbits about Egyptian history.

The Kane siblings race to release Ra and evade the people that are trying to stop them.  
adventurous medium-paced

Genre: Fantasy Romance

This is part of her Crowns of Nyaxia series but can be read as a standalone. There are no overlapping characters, just set in the same world. 

Synopsis: A blind assassin is sent to slay the evil king of vampires but she starts to realize he might not be as evil as people say. 

Out of all her books this one reminded me the most of Six Scorched Roses. Similar slow burn vibes and an enemies to lovers arc I really liked. It is well written and I couldn’t put it down. 

Thank you Bramble for the gifted copy!

Genre: Middle Grade Mystery/Adventure 

Book 2 in a middle grade espionage series. It’s called Golden Gate, but most of the book is not in San Francisco. I enjoyed the mystery and learning fun facts about different places & history. Fast paced, fun series for kids.

Genre: YA Fantasy Romance/Mythology

A girl enters the Immortal Trials to try and win a pill that would save her sick mother’s life. The trial means sure death but someone helps her along the way. 

This is based on Asian mythology and is the first in a duology. 
It kind of had the same vibe as Song of Silver, Flame like Night but I liked it a little better. 

Things to expect: found family, fast paced adventure, YA romance, quest, deadly trials, magic

Genre: Thriller

A well known crime podcaster has a caller that confesses to her that he killed her mother… but that’s impossible because she already killed him.

This was a decent thriller with a back and forth between present and past. I listened to it on audio and didn’t love the narration so I struggled getting through it a bit. 

There were some twists and it was suspenseful, making you question what actually happened.

Genre: Crime/Detective Mystery 

This is the fourth & final book in this police detective series. You should read the other three before this one as they all are connected. 
    Years after Hazel had finally moved out of Black Harbor, her ex husband is murdered bringing her back to the horrible town. 
  I enjoyed the mystery and how everything from the first books came full circle. It’s a quick read with short chapters. I liked the outliers and twisty detective work.

Genre: Romantic Suspense

I’ve read a bunch of her books and started this one because it was highly rated. It was not a thriller like her others though.  This is a romantic suspense. 

     Maggie moves into her old neighborhood after a breakup. She reunites with two of her old boyfriends and rehashes things from her past. Creepy things start to happen in the house and she finds out a murder happened there years ago 

The mystery aspect of this was very predictable and unlike her normal twisty books. I did like the story and enjoyed the read. Just note it is not a psychological thriller.

Genre: Thriller

Sloane is a pathological liar. When she pretends to be a nurse she gets the job as a nanny for a wealthy family but the family has secrets of their own. 

This was a good binge read. It’s a twisty book told from two POVs, kind of Freida McFadden like.  The title tells you there are a lot of lies so you don’t know what to believe. It’s a fast paced page turner that I really enjoyed!

Genre: Thriller

A couple takes one last trip to a remote cabin before the arrival of their baby but the trip isn’t what they expected. 

This is a quick twisty thriller. It went in a totally different direction than I was expecting it to go. I love her books!

Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy
