The intrigue progresses at a quick pace against a backdrop of wine tastings and art appreciation that shows off the author’s credentials as a connoisseur and leaves readers longing for a personal staff which includes a French pastry chef. The lord and lady deserve to rest on their laurels, surrounded by grandchildren playing in the vineyard, but the author probably has more adventures in store for them.”

Loyal readers of her Joplin/Halloran mystery series (now totaling four novels), will delight in the twists, turns and fun this (very) topical tale serves up. Clearly informed by the author’s always-impeccable research, memorable character development, keen sense of place and suspense…this latest novel will keep one guessing to the end. While I recommend starting this series with the first book — Enough Rope — this exciting new mystery crime novel can be enjoyed on it own merits, as can each in this popular series by the incomparable P.L. Doss.”

“The latest in the Joplin/Halloran mystery series does not disappoint! As always, the author does her research- this time deep into southern history and how we have and haven’t learned from the past. The setting of the North Georgia mountains lures you in to a peaceful and bucolic setting but you quickly find out that all is not what it seems and there are many secrets hiding in those woods. I love the quick, witty banter between, especially, the Joplins and the Hallorans and there is a shocking, OMG, laugh out loud sequence that I never saw coming. Read the others in the series if you can first but this one can also be read on its own,” Nicole R. writes in her five star Amazon review.

Imagine finding your father shot to death and as soon as you pick up the gun, the cops burst in and arrest you for the murder of your father.

This is a very well written book that keeps you on the edge of your seat. You think you know what is going to happen, but no – something else happens. Held my attention from the first page to the last!”

Robert F. concurs in his five star Amazon review. “…As a storyteller, Avery has created an array of colorful characters operating in the always-tribal City of Boston. Where else would an Italian mob boss demand a meeting to threaten an Irish street gangster to lay off a Black liquor store owner? The characters, their motives and the scene settings always ring true. The drama builds naturally, concluding in the masterful trial scenes. The outcome remains in doubt until the jury returns to the courtroom with its verdict.

The way it’s told really made me feel like I was inside the characters’ heads—never knowing who to trust. And let me tell you, that sense of not knowing who’s on your side made it such a page-turner. I was glued to it! The characters were so well written; they felt real, complex, and deeply flawed in the best possible way…”

And at the bottom, the snowball smacks into its conclusion and all the individual pieces find their final resting place. I loved the character development and arch of this novel, and you will too!”

I really wish this guide had existed when I taught English in Japan and Taiwan, where I saw firsthand how broken most EFL programs are. So much time is spent studying for tests, memorizing vocabulary out of context, and talking ABOUT English IN the local language. It’s no wonder so many EFL students emerge from years of study unable to communicate in the language. Fortunately, my academic background in Linguistics and my own experience learning Japanese and Mandarin helped me to figure out how to best help my English students.

I Want to Stay in Kindergarten by Carmit Rachel Swed

With a 4.4 average star rating, I Want to Stay in Kindergarten is meant for children who are getting ready to transition from Kindergarten to first grade. It’s also helpful for parents who are seeking to support their child’s transition.

“Carmit Rachel Swed gives a heartwarming glance at the emotions one goes through when saying goodbye. I don’t think many people really think about what it means to say good-bye as a child and Swed manages to capture it in a way that everyone can understand. For a child reading this book it gives validation to things they may be feeling about moving on to the next grade in school. While aimed at kindergarteners the feelings could also extend to 1st and perhaps 2nd graders as well. The illustrations are wonderful and will capture the imagination of many.

I would recommend this to anyone who had a child who was having a hard time saying good-bye at the end of the school year,” Jen B. explains in her five-star Amazon review.

Dan P. writes in his five-star Amazon review, “I have a 5 year old kid that’s also leaving her kindergarten so this is a great book for my family. The book captures this sensitive subject in a beautiful and emotional way…I really recommend it.”

Rather, positive qualities of friendship, loyalty, patience, and curiosity are depicted in a way that is uplifting and appealing.”

“The first book The Bird Caper in the first The Crow’s Tale series by Victoria Pannell, and Thorir Sigfusson is an amazing, and creative story that is perfect for middle school readers and parents. Extremely well written, with great character descriptions, balanced, and relatable. It’s fun, and educational with subtle hints of problem solving emotional ups , and downs of growing up where friendships, moving to a new house can become a big issue for a school aged child…The Bird Caper is a great book for middle school kids, and their parents, and would make a perfect dinner table discussion for both. Honestly SO SO worth reading,” agrees Hildagarrison writes in her five star Amazon review.

On Viking Seas by Jay Veloso Batista

With a 4.8 star average on Amazon, On Viking Seas is book three of the four book Forerunner series. Based on historical events and set in the year 880, this installment will bring Norse legends to life!

Creativeheart describes in their five star Amazon review, “The third book in the Forerunner series by Jay Batista is as great a read as the first two books, where we are introduced to the Agneson clan, a Viking family whose allegiances and enemies quickly separate family members and create new destinies. War has created dire circumstances. The oldest son, Cub, who fought alongside his doomed father, has been taken captive and used as a slave in the tin mines. The oldest daughter, whose joyous wedding was the last bright spot in family life, is pregnant. Kara, a headstrong Viking maiden of 14, must decide to go with her heart rather than what is expected of her. Younger son Sorven’s actions are tinged with his feelings for revenge. And our small hero, Thorfinn, who is a “vardoger” who can separate his spirit from his physical body to travel between realms, finds greater use for his magical status. Jay Batista does an admiral job of weaving fact and fiction in a very exciting way. I read eagerly to see how each character grew and changed throughout the book. Lessons learned – keep your eyes open, practice your swordplay, and believe in magic.”

“This series gets better and better. I greatly enjoyed the first two books, but this one I couldn’t put down. We now know the main characters like good friends, and it’s easy to care about what happens to them – but there’s no telling what’s coming next. This well-paced and richly detailed book offers a balance of historic fact, believable fantasy and action that will keep you immersed and turning the page. Highly recommended.” Hunter J. writes in his five star Amazon review.”

Kara, Shieldmaiden of Eire by Jay Veloso Batista

With a 4.8 star average on Amazon, Kara, Shieldmaiden of Eire is the final installment in the Forerunner series.

“Riveting & well-written, Book 4 in the Forerunner Series is an incredibly fun read. The story is full of captivating characters. The author does a nice job of weaving together the storylines along the way. Kara’s life as a warrior is full of particularly fascinating twists & turns. This is a terrific read & an absolute page-turner,” Doug raves in his five star Amazon review.

Lisa P. concurs in her five star Amazon review, “This story is an engaging mix of Viking history, magic, and action with Kara as a very likable and strong character. The ongoing growth of Kara as a warrior and the twists and turns of the plot and sub-plots kept me entertained all the way through. If you’re a fan of historical fiction with suspense, action, and adventure, this is a book (and series) for you.”

SoulBreather by Helen Garraway

With a 4.7 star average on Amazon, SoulBreather is the first book in the SoulMist series, a paranormal fantasy with a dash of romance.

“Soulbreather captivated me, despite fantasy not being my usual genre. Solanji, the protagonist, stood out with her strength and loyalty, avoiding the cliché of an overly dramatic badass. Her tender connection with Mav, a fallen angel once seated in power, added a sweet layer to the narrative.

Mav’s horrific experiences, entangled with betrayal and false accusations, pulled at my heartstrings. Yet, the beauty of the story unfolded as Solanji became the beacon guiding him to rediscover his light and strength. Without divulging much, the characters in this story are well-crafted, avoiding overdone tropes and contributing to a thoroughly enjoyable read that held me captive well into the early morning hours,.” Georgie writes in his five star Amazon review.

Naturalist raves in their five star Amazon review, “Though not my normal genre, (sci fi romance) this book was riveting. Helen Garraway draws the reader into the drama as it unfolds with rich language and imagery. There is adventure and romance between Mav, a fallen angel and Solanji, a rare human, as they work together for justice and the determination to save those around them. This book is for those looking for a different type of story, that draws you in, captivates and holds your attention. Do yourself a favor and pick it up.”

The Crimson Court by Brendan Noble

With a 4.3 star average, The Crimson Court is a tale of revenge, nobility, and high fantasy.

Larisa explains in her five star Amazon review, “This story of vengeance and conspiracy follows Kasia as she hunts down the men who assassinated her father. But there is a darker, much more dire evil looming in the flintlock/gaslamp world of Western Brakesh.

Noble does an incredible job of world building through multiple points of view, and you get to experience this breathtaking story through several very different characters over the course of the book. If you are a fan of diverse characters, swift action married with political intrigue, and vast world building rich with lore and culture, this book is absolutely for you. By the last quarter of the book I was completely gripped and could not put it down. One of my favorite reads so far this year.”

“…The Crimson Court is a fast-paced, multi-POV epic with feuding noble Houses and looming supernatural threats. If you like your epic fantasies full of politics, warring empires, and cool elemental(ish) magic systems, this is the book for you. This is the modern, flintlock, Eastern European-flavored A Game of Thrones, but with a much tighter focus, less sprawling and wheel-spinning, a bit less of the moral greyness. The Crimson Court has a lot of moving parts and is a complex book, but never feels overwhelming or gratuitously world-built, giving the plot a lot of ‘oomph’ and forward momentum. I loved this book and cannot wait for the sequel…” Nathan concurs in his five star Amazon review.

Drowned Sea by Tristan Miranda & Blaise Miranda

With a 4.9 star average, Drowned Sea is a dark fantasy, and is a tale of pirates, assassins, and heroes. Reviewers note that there are some violent sections.

The worldbuilding is fantastic, and the characters are relatable and complicated–you can’t help but root for them. Would highly recommend!”

Catherine T. concurs in her five star Amazon review, “The world set up in this story caused me to instantly fall in love with it. It has such a well built narrative that I’m always ready to turn the next page and keep reading. Definitely recommended this book!”

Michelle V. explains in her five star Amazon review, “Endless Winter: Part Two is a page turning read with an ‘it could really happen’ storyline that caught my attention from the first page until the last. The writing is well done and the story has strong and well developed characters, intrigue, suspense, danger, and so much more. I love reading post-apocalyptic survival stories and these authors write the best. I can’t wait to read the next book by this talented author duo…”

“After reading Part One I pre-ordered Part 2. Normally I don’t find these types of post-apocalyptic novels very realistic but these two exceeded my expectations,” Satyrman63 concurs in his five star Amazon review. “The characters are real, ‘normal’ people, not ex-military or paramilitary, not survivalists, so on. Bad things happen to them, they work their way out of many problems. People are lost, people are hurt. As Part Two ended to my satisfaction, it certainly sets up a Part Three. I hope that is on the drawing board.”

Komodo by Cairo Smith

With 10+ ratings and an impressive 4.9 star average, Komodo is a scifi, interplanetary adventure that will leave you breathless.

“Psychologically deep characters, a riveting story, crackling tension and a richly layered world make this a must-read. Outstanding storytelling, nuanced and thought-provoking. Highly recommended,” Ava raves in her five star Amazon review.

Tamas H. concurs in their five star Amazon review, “If you’re as big a fan of John Scalzi and Andy Weir as I am, you will wanna dive head first into Cairo Smith’s assuredly voiced, genre bending debut novel. Propelled by crisp dialog and blazing action, Komodo is set in a richly drawn world of distant planets, ensnarled in the political intrigue of a space age bourgeoisie, with its colonies home to hired guns, tech bros, galactic hackers, and warriors from mystical tribes…

What follows is an intergalactic caper with the visceral pacing of a must-binge streaming series… As the story races to its gut churning finale, the reader is left with the uneasy feeling that though Komodo’s world is lightyears away, it may be outside our very front doors at any moment.”

Shattered Time by Christopher Coates

With 80+ ratings and a 4.3 star average, Shattered Time is full of time travel, alternate realities, and global wars.

James J. writes in his five star Amazon review, “This is a unique type of time travel adventure there is a central storyline that is used in many other time travel novels and that is when people travel to the past their actions can alter the future and this one is a huge example of that. Three teenagers with links to aliens from the future are tasked with stopping the alternate timeline and that’s when the fun begins. A very interesting story. I highly recommend this book.”

Cindy B. concurs in her five star Amazon review, “The author weaves a story of the ramifications of time travel. The storyline interweaves the creators of the time travel that significantly alters the future as we know it, a team sent to stop the creators from using the time travel, and those desperate to keep their future from disappearing forever. It’s fast-paced action made me want to turn the next page!”

With 60+ ratings and a 4.6 star average, Rise of the Phoenix is the first of the City of Gods series, with a superhero protagonist that will keep readers turning the pages.

Brett P. explains in his five star Amazon review, “Rise of the Phoenix…is a good blend of superhero drama, time travel, and epic love that will captivate readers from the first page to the last. Richards masterfully weaves a tale of redemption and peril as Harry, burdened by his catastrophic mistake, embarks on a desperate mission to rewrite history. The tension escalates with each twist and turn. Fans of dystopian sci-fi will appreciate the dark visions of the future and the high stakes that keep the narrative thrilling. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves time travel, superpowers, and heart-stopping adventure.”

In their five star Amazon review, Strongbad raves, “Rise of the Phoenix is a truly amazing fantasy sci-fi adventure. Harry and Nadia are very likable characters you find yourself rooting for through their struggles and battles. The backdrop of a dystopian NYC sets a unique story of time travel, reality bending, and superhuman battles that did not fail to entertain all the way through.”

Win Condition by Libby Schultz

With almost 10 ratings and an astounding 5 star average, Win Condition is a scifi thriller with sentient AI, lethal games, and the fight for humanity.

“Win Condition is an impressive debut novel by a talented author with a strong vision of a futuristic techno world,” Jon H. writes in his five star Amazon review. “It’s a fast paced thriller where cryptocurrency is worshipped with religious fervor and the most talented gaming champions are elevated to hero status. A group of unlikely allies seek to take down the island of Char’s ruthless leader, but with dangerous stakes involved and layers of political maneuverings to peel back, the author keeps the reader on their toes as to who will succeed. I really enjoyed how well the author imagines the inner workings of such a technologically advanced society. I look forward to her next novel!”

Diesta K. explains in her five star Amazon review, “…The author created an incredibly intricate and detailed world, with characters to match…I would definitely consider this a post-apocalyptic techno thriller, and despite it not being my normal read, really enjoyed it. The book ends, tying up the story very well, but leaves the option for more stories within this universe.”
