Review: Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Six: Thoran

Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Six: Thoran Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Six: Thoran by C.M. Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Book 6 was full of action and betrayal. We get to see things from many different points of view in this book. Edward and Johnathon even get their own chapters. It was a great insight into their point of view that I loved seeing. Several bad things happen but a lot of big good things as well. It was definitely a book right on par with the rest of the series! 5 STARS!

Review: Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Five: Ascension

*OMG! This was a tear jerker! A must read!

Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Five: Ascension Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Five: Ascension by C.M. Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We made it!! If you're anything like me, then you've been waiting to get to the book where the memory blocks fall and they reach ascension. Well, I'm happy to tell you that this is the book! I was so excited to find out what all was hidden behind the memory blocks and see if my hunch was right. The only spoilery thing I will say is...have a tissue or 2 next to you before you get into this book. You will need it! As always, the writing was fabulous. 5 STARS!

Review: Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Four: Roderick

Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Four: Roderick Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Four: Roderick by C.M. Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Whew! Book 4 was a roller coaster ride! Here we have the kidnapping and time spent with Roderick that Keri saw before their birthdays. It was a very emotional and dark time. There was a time or two where my stomach turned a bit at the torture session but...it was a torture session so that's to be expected. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. There were a few times where I literally cracked up laughing too. It was great. I am amazed at C.M. Johnson's ability to flip from at gruesome torture to a light hearted conversation. 5 STARS.

Review: Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Three: Taken

Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Three: Taken Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Three: Taken by C.M. Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
I just finished book 3 and am so excited! I have not been able to put this series down since I started. I literally have not read ANYTHING else but these books from the first minute I turned on book 1 and I don't mind a bit. I absolutely love this series!! Here in book 3, we spend the majority of it in Richard's care. As in Keri's vision, it is different than the last time. Things are way different then her being used and abused! Now this installment is the longest of the books so far, but there is so much going on that I didn't notice the extra length in a bad way. I was glad to spend more time in the Guardian world. There are a few surprises in book 3 that are very exciting as well! I can't wait for you to read this book so you can be as thrilled as I am. Absolutely 5 STARS!

Review: Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Two: Bonded

Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Two: Bonded Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Two: Bonded by C.M. Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Book 2 in the Guardian series was great! Things get a bit darker but also a bit happier in this book. I know that is contradictory but it's true. Things are changing for Keri and her gang, I can't wait to find out what will happen on the dates she specifies. I'm not good with secrets so I get as frustrated as Kerreth in wanting to know! But I know that all will be revealed in time. If you enjoyed book 1 at all, then you will definitely love this one. If you have NOT read book 1, don't start here...go back and get the 1st book because you need the information in there to make things make sense. Another 5 STARS for Johnson!

Review: Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book One: The Beginning

*I am reviewing this entire series, which has 8 books to date. The reviews will be here in order and will continue as I get through the books. This series is absolutely amazing! I highly suggest these books!!! <3

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
WOW! This is the 1st in the Guardian series and oh my word, what a start! We get to meet everyone in this book and get some background on the situation. I know some people don't like background information in books, but trust me you have to have it in this one. This is not a book you can just casually read...you have to pay attention. Without the background information, I would've been lost. Johnson has created a whole new world, along with its own language (there's a dictionary at the back). I didn't use the dictionary because the characters do go on to explain whatever was said and I just went with that. The writing in this book was amazing! I seriously couldn't put it down. I chose to lose sleep rather than stop reading this piece of art. It was amazing. I know I'm saying "amazing" a lot, but I can't convey just how great this book is without using it. I know that I'm going to start book 2 right away. If you like any type of mental abilities or fantasy, or even romance then you will love this book! 5 STARS!

Review: Vanished

Vanished Vanished by Kimberly Readnour
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of this book and...Finally!! We made it to book 3! We ended book 2 at a VERY interesting place and thankfully book 3 picks up right there. Heather gets herself into a very weird and uncomfortable position this time around. She has to help solve a case that becomes very near and dear to her heart. This case though, it comes about in an incomprehensible situation. I literally had my jaw on the floor when I figured out what was going on! Very good story line and writing flow again Kimberly. I seriously wish I could give this book more than 5 STARS!

Review: Blind Trust

Blind Trust Blind Trust by Peiri Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
When I was asked to review this book, I wasn't too sure what I was going to think about it but I am very glad I was given this chance! There are so many twists and turns that I almost had whiplash at times. It's not common at all for me to be completely caught off guard for almost the entire book! It was awesome. There was a constant "who's who" and "are you freaking serious?!" conversation that played out in my head. Major brownie points to you Peri Ann for that ability!! 5 SHINY STARS!

Review~ Deceptions by Kimberly Readnour

Deceptions Deceptions by Kimberly Readnour
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deceptions is book 2 of the Mystical Encounter Series. It picks up right where book 1 left us at and continues with the story and the same gang of people. The visions gets more intense and costly in this installment though. We have heartbreak, new love, deception (obviously), and forgiveness. The emotions in this book are everywhere and oh boy does Kimberly Readnour make sure that you feel every single one of them as well! I can't count how many times my eyes teared up or my heart was pounding with nervous energy. Things do work out, some in surprising ways and others the way that I hoped they would. Of course, there's a huge kicker as well that has me starting book 3 immediately!! 5 STARS

Review~ No Good Deed by M.P. McDonald

No Good Deed No Good Deed by M.P. McDonald
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was amazing! I love crime books, and this one was so great. There were several and I mean SEVERAL parts where I was a bit taken aback by how graphic some situations were, but I knew this going in so I was expecting it. I just wanted to mention it so that you were aware of it beforehand. This isn't your every day "coated in sugar" crime novel...this is the "nitty gritty" kind. You see what goes on. The storyline was great, the imagery was spectacular, and the narration was on point! I would not change a single thing about this entire book if given the chance. 5 STARS!

Review: Pocketful of Sand by M. Leighton

Pocketful of Sand Pocketful of Sand by M. Leighton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
I listened to this right after Strong Enough by M. Leighton, so I had Leighton books back to back. This was not a bad thing at all. I was able to see some of the variety that she has the ability to write. It is always nice to see that an author can go in multiple directions. Pocketful of Sand’s synopsis mentions that this is an epic love story, and is sure is! This isn’t your typical romance novel where everything just clicks into place and everything is peachy. It is not a light-hearted, feel good type of book. Pocketful of Sand is as real of a love story as you can get! In this story, there are situations that are hard to read/listen to and even harder to live. People do have to live through situations like this though, so as hard as it was to listen to them, they were as real as you can get in a book. The story line was very good and the dual narration was great. Anyone who knows me and my audiobooks, knows that I love multi-narration audio, especially if done well. I know that anyone who gives this book a shot, and can take the rough situations for what they are, will love it! I give this book 5 SHINY STARS!!
