Review: Cora's Kismet - Cheryl Davis

We have a new reviewer joining our awesome team. Please welcome Ann, who started off with a cracking read by Cheryl Davis.

Reviewer: Ann 
I got to the end of this fabulous book and kept trying to turn the page only to realize there were no more pages to turn. Cheryl’s characters feel real and alive. They are accessible and human, even though they aren’t. Exactly human that is. And that makes them even more interesting. I was happily sucked down the rabbit hole and to be honest, I didn’t want to come back up. I could have read another 200 pages about the fascinating culture that Cheryl Davis describes in this novel. It is completely original and fresh.

We meet Cora and Viola. Cora is the level-headed and laid back twin, Viola the more flamboyant. The book begins with the girls at home, planning for their summer. Suddenly, an “attack” occurs and changes everything. They are introduced to a life they could have never imagined and to possibilities for the future beyond their reckoning. As the reader, you empathize with both girls, with their parents, and everyone else introduced throughout the story. This novel covers the gambit of emotion – everything from fear, anger and angst to love, humor and forgiveness. The main characters are strong, capable and likeable female role models.

I can’t wait to read more from this amazing author and her mesmerizing world.

****I really would love to read more from Cheryl, when she publishes more books. She is going to be a force to be reckoned with and I would love to be able to help people discover her.****
Life was bad enough for twins, Cora and Viola Daniels, when suddenly their world was turned upside down.
When Liam Anderson shows up to save Cora and Viola from their situation, and to bring them back into their true family fold, Cora knows that there’s something special about him.
As she and her twin are being chased down by their, now former, guardians, Cora is finding out more and more about herself that she knew nothing about. Suddenly, they have loving parents, bound powers and a prophecy to fulfill, but first they have to find their soul mates that will help them through it all. All of this has to take place before their 18th birthday, which is only six months away.
Racing against time and deadly enemies, will Cora find her mate in Liam, or will all be lost? Will she be able to find herself in this new world and make it to the ceremony that will restore her powers, or will their enemies win, putting the world’s future at stake?

Review: Embraced (Enduring Kiss #4) - C.E. Black

Embraced by C.E. Black Ann's rating: 5 of 5 stars Read as a standalone.  This is a fantastic book. It is an easy read but don’t start reading it too late at night or you will probably end up with a book hangover. It is very difficult to put down. Sean is a lost wolf. The woman he loves has married another man, and he is heartbroken. To relieve his suffering, he decides to get out of town and have a drink or two, then he meets Sarah. Sarah is a business owner of a bakery called Decadent Delights and her life seems to be going just the way she wants…until she meets Sean at the bar.

He can’t stay because Sarah is human and humans don’t mate with wolves. Two months later, Sarah has a major surprise and goes looking for Sean. And then the fun really begins. This story has sorrow, angst, anger but als...

ARC Review: The Charmed Fates by Christine Wenrick

Tomorrow is the release day of Christine Wenrick's 'The Charmed Fates', the final installment of her amazing trilogy.  We'd like to say a HUGE congratulations to Christine on the amazing success of her fabulous trilogy. Reviewer: Em Rating: 5/5 Wow, oh wow!! This book  didn’t disappoint me one iota. I opened to the first page to be induced and transported back into the world of Caleb, Olivia, Jax and Gemma. I started to read and couldn’t put the book down. I wasn’t surprised as I had had the same experience with the first two books, the storyline wrapped around me and enfolded me thoroughly taking me on the journey.
