3.5 stars. Enjoyable quick read.

Great start to a new series.

Whilst the angels versus demons plot is not unique, I did enjoy this original take on that theme.

Aiden finds himself thrown into a whole new understanding of the world as he knew it. Casper finds himself with no memories of the world or himself. Together these two, and Auggie who is Aiden’s best friend, are thrown into a adventure to find out what is going on, uncovering lies and discovering truths in a world where nothing and no one appears to be what they are.

This is the first book in the series and whilst the great cast of main and secondary characters live to tell the tale, the battle is far from over. This is a very enjoyable slow burn, low heat romance that includes very good world building with some action and suspense to keep things interesting.

Good start to a new series.

Nate packs up everything and leaves Boston for small town life after the unexpected end of a long term relationship. Upon arrival he meets his neighbour Linc, a widower with a young son. They are pretty much physically aware of each other almost immediately but get to know each other more when Linc renovates Nate’s coffee shop. The chemistry between them bubbles along and inevitably they give in to it and things start to heat up and turn steamy.

Nate is somewhat of a romantic and just wants to be with someone who wants him long term whilst Linc feels like he can’t move on after the passing of his wife 6 years earlier. They start dating in a convoluted type of way but eventually a misunderstanding leads to a break up which leaves them both hurting. Fortunately it’s not too long until they make up and get their longed for HEA.

Nate and Linc are both great likeable characters who I couldn’t help cheering on and Linc’s son Beckett is just a gorgeous young boy. There’s a dash of angst in this enjoyable and engaging read and a peek at some interesting side characters who are just waiting for their stories to be told.

4.5 stars. Well, this had a surprise or two!

This adventure has Ronan, Tennyson and the whole crew solving a case that involves 13 skeletons in a backyard. It’s all hands on deck researching and chasing down leads, especially when members of the group are targeted and lives are at risk.
This does differ from their usual cases. It certainly has a few unforeseen twists and turns before it’s successfully solved when the past, present and the future all come together allowing for a sense of normality to return to Tennyson and Ronan’s household.

I really enjoyed catching up with all these old friends and once again they kept me thoroughly entertained from start to finish as they solved this intriguing case.

This time around it’s Isac and Max who full in forever love, although their journey is not without some hurdles and some mid level angst. I loved these two well written characters. They had me giggling at their witty banter and they also hit me with some feels on occasion.

Isac always had feelings for Max, that weren’t reciprocated, until years later when Max had the blinkers taken off and saw Isac for the man he had become. They still had a lot to work through before the chemistry exploded and steamy times entered the relationship causing heat levels to rise.

This is a very enjoyable read that kept me fully entertained, engaged and cheering on Isac and Max until the very satisfying end which left me smiling and my heart happy.
