Preacher Sam
by Cassondra Windwalker
Publisher: Black Spot Books 
Release Date: September 17, 2019

​No one is more qualified to understand the blackest hearts than a disgraced, porn-addicted former preacher who is still in love with his estranged wife. Floundering for direction and beset by the needs of his well-meaning but aggravating atheist sister and her seven-year-old son, Sam Geisler is trying to put his past behind him when the murder of one of his former parishioners by another drags him back into the world he left behind.Sam may not be Broadripple’s favorite son, but his peculiar gift for listening has earned him the moniker murderer-whisperer, and the police need his help on what should be an open-and-shut case. Fighting for his marriage, fighting with his sister, and fighting against his own demons, Sam may be the only one who hears what the real murderer is all but shouting—but will it be enough to drive back his own darkness?

​~~~REVIEW~~~

4/5

​Cassondra Windwalker’s Preacher Sam is a psychological thriller that delves into the degradation of mankind when murder, lies, and secrets take over the small town of Broadripple, Indiana. The complex story sucks you in immediately as Amanda is arrested for murdering her best friend and business partner, Amy. Amanda shuts down and refuses to speak to anyone except Amy’s husband, Clay, and her former preacher, Sam Geisler.  This only adds fuel to the speculation as to what happened to cause someone to murder sweet Amy and the reason behind it all is quite disturbing. 

While a slow build to the surprising climax, the author takes the reader on a journey of reflection and growth with disgraced preacher Sam Geisler as he attempts to find redemption from his sins in the eyes of the church as well as his own.  Having left the church after admitting to having a porn addiction, Sam is estranged from his wife and living in the spare room above his sister’s book café.  The murder plot almost takes a back seat Sam’s personal trials. 

Preacher Sam is the first book I have read by Cassondra Windwalker.  I enjoy the depth and the rawness of her characters.  She bares all their sins but doesn’t judge.  The secondary character, Dani, Sam’s sister, is actually my favorite.  She adds levity to the serious nature of the story. Dani is feisty and mouthy and I love it!  I look forward to reading future books in this series.

If you were thrown into a war between a Fae clan and a witch coven, would you be able to uncover the truth before the stroke of Midnight?
Nova Kramer blames herself for the death of her mother and sister—so does her father. When he moves them to Danville City to escape the reminders of what they lost, Nova is thrown right back into a world full of anxiety when their new neighbor, Stella, and her twin brothers make it their mission to bring Nova to her knees—after all, they know her secret—and blackmail is just the start.
Kent Danville and his brothers have a secret, too—their clan is working to take down a coven of witches and find the other five clans of Fae, but when Nova walks into his life, the Fae can’t seem to stop thinking about her. He can’t risk falling for the new girl—he has a soulmate out there somewhere, and a mission to complete…if the coven doesn’t kill him first.
A war is brewing between the coven and the clan—each side a little less human than the other—and Nova may get caught in the crossfire if she can’t discover the truth before the clock strikes Midnight.
Can your heart handle this magical shifter retelling of Cinderella and Prince Charming? Read now to find out!

~~~REVIEW~~~

​Melanie Gilbert creates a symbolic retelling of Cinderella in her first Fae Brothers Ever After Novel, Midnight. While there is no glass slipper or evil step-mother, the cast of Midnight is representative of the classic story as it is told in this modern fantasy. With the introduction of fae, shifters, and other magics, Gilbert delivers a unique twist on this retelling. The characters are diverse and multi-dimensional, each with their own story waiting to be told. Did I mention that the fellas are hot? Well, they are smoking hot! And what fairytale is complete with a villain. Gilbert’s villain is a ruthless snake but you have to have to admire her tenacity. Midnight is a well-written, fast paced fantasy novel.  I cannot wait to see what Gilbert’s take is on the other fairytales she tackles in this series.

Lynn's Reviews ~ Heartless & Soulless by Kelly Martin

8/1/2019

I have been fangirling and borderline stalking Kelly Martin for the last few months.  You might even call me obsessed, but let's not delve in to closely on that topic. Thus far there isn't a restraining order. ~ Lynn
This is one twisted series, and I am only two books in. Oh to see inside of Kelly Martin's brain. 

Heartless, Bk1

Picture
Some things can't be saved. 

What would you do if your guardian angel wasn't sent to protect you from the world but to protect the world from you? 

For thirteen years, Gracen Sullivan dreamed about a red-eyed demon named Hart Blackwell who tortured her every night. Her mother freaked when she found out about her daughter's "hallucinations" and forced Gracen to go to the doctor, who prescribed some very powerful medication which kept Hart out of her head for five years. 

A week ago, Hart came back and brought a friend. 

But something has changed, and Gracen is seeing Hart

​ when she's awake too. And the other "friends" in her dreams? They have been found dead. 

The police want to talk to her. 

Her boyfriend has become distant. 

Her dreams are becoming more and more intense. 

Hell wants her. 

Heaven has to stop her. 

When push comes shoving, can Gracen fight the evil eating away inside her or will she be forced to embrace it and destroy the world? ​

REVIEW

2nd Review ~ 2019
I am reading the entire series so I revisited book 1. I have concerns about the mind of author Kelly Martin. This is seriously a dark and twisted series, even by her standards. 

Once again I was hooked from page one like it was the first time and devoured book 1. Diving into the madness of book 2!

1st review ~ 2017
Someone recommended this author to me and I snagged up several of her books during an Amazon and Audible sale. Boy, I had no idea what I was in for! Kelly Martin has one twisted mind. How does she sleep at night with these thoughts swimming in her head? I downloaded Heartless from Audible as well so I got a double dose of creepy. The narrator, Julie Hinton, was fantastic. I recommend checking her out.

My only fault with this story is that the MC, Gracen, tells it in a monologue in her head most of the time. She doesn't interact with many people so the reader doesn't get a lot of perspective from the other characters until the end of the book when we get a peek into Hart's head. I get why it was done this way but it was a first for me. I still enjoyed this creeptastic tale and look forward to completing the series.

Soulless, Bk2

Picture
Hope and love are the two worst 4-letter words in the human language. Hope destroys lives. Love destroys the world. Gracen Sullivan isn't crazy. She wishes she was. That would mean all of the evil going on around her-- because of her-- wouldn't be happening. 

She wouldn't need the demon blood. 

She wouldn't be scared to go home. 

And she wouldn't be having any sort of feelings for Hart Blackwell. 

Hope and love are all she has left. Hope and love will destroy everything. Even a love she never saw coming. ​

REVIEW

​In Soulless, MC Gracen Sullivan faces an impossible situation. Cursed to be the Abomination that will destroy the world, her only support comes from her former tormentor, Hart Blackwell. Soulless shows a different, dare I say compassionate, side to Hart. He is turning out to be quite the little complex demon. And the ending... fate is cruel!

Heaven, Hell, angels, demons, the apocalypse - it is not for the faint of heart. Author Kelly Martin has to have one twisted mind to write this stuff. I LOVE IT so I must be just as twisted, lol. 

Soulless is book 2 in the Heartless series and I highly recommend reading it first.

Kelly Martin

Picture
​Kelly Martin lives in a possibly haunted house in a small southern town. While she'd like to say paranormal things have only happened to her at her home, it would be a lie... 

She is an international #1 best selling author in horror, paranormal, contemporary, historical, young adult, and mysteries. All of Kelly's books have one thing in common-- imagine the real world is tilted slightly on its side. You don't really know what's going on, what's missing, but there is a tilt, a hum you can barely hear, telling you that something is off.

Lynn's Review of Dark & Deadly Things (Series) by Kelly Martin

7/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture

I am obsessed with all things Kelly Martin.

I am tearing through her books like they are the air to my lungs. I have watched all her YouTube videos, ordered the books she recommended, joined her fan club, you name it.  I am in full STALKER MODE!  If you enjoy reading spooky tales and watching shows like Supernatural and Ghost Adventures THIS SERIES IS FOR YOU!  Abel and Elise are the new Ed and Lorraine Warren for this generation.  

It all begins with Dark & Deadly Things (Book 1).

Picture
​It is a strange feeling in life to watch your ghost hunter of a father live on TV while eating popcorn next to your dead mother.

That’s not entirely true. It is a strange feeling to be sure and my mother is most assuredly dead. But she isn’t next to me. She’s across the room, standing between the old mahogany grandfather clock that needs to be dusted and the old cabinet television that belonged to my grandma in the eighties. It doesn’t work anymore, the television that is. Now the cabinet is used as a stand for the newer TV version, one that you don’t have to get up and change the channels on.

~*~*~
I watched them die. I watched them all die, and I could say nothing as my father was accused of the crime. Only he didn't do it. The black shadow did... only no one will ever believe me.

And then there is Abel Hale. His entire family died at the hand of the black shadow, and he thinks I can help him get revenge.

If I could do that, I'd already gotten it. As it is, I go with Abel because it is the easiest thing to do. 

Nothing is ever easy.

Seeing ghosts is a curse, but Abel's curse is something I never expected, something I fear.... something I can never trust.

Only he's all I have. 

And I'm the only thing standing between him and the truth.

The complete series is a 5 STAR read!

​During the last few weeks I read the complete 5 book series and now I do not know what to do with myself. Kelly Martin delivers a spine-tingling, thriller in the Dark Things series. The final installment, Dark & Dangerous Things, did not disappoint. The tense builds from page one to a white knuckle ending that left me speechless. If ghosts, hauntings, and demons (oh my) are your thing, then check out this creeptastic series!

You are hooked, right? 

Let the #oneclick heaven begin!  The entire series is available on Amazon and you can read it for FREE in KU. Click here to begin the nightmare!

My favorite book in the series is 

Book 3, Dark & Dreadful Things!  Check out my review.

The sign of a well written ghost story is when even on paper it leaves you haunted and scared. This one left me spooked! My husband knocked something other on his nightstand and I almost jumped out of bed, lol. I was very tense reading this installment and I loved every minute of it. Dark & Dreadful Things (Bk3) is my favorite in the series. Abel and Elise are the new Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Kelly Martin is the master of ghost stories.

Lynn's Review 

​The Isle of Gold by Seven Jane is equal parts fantasy, adventure, legend, and lore.  I was drawn into the hauntingly beautiful tale of Merrin Smith as she set sail on the Riptide in search of discovering herself and her past. The gorgeous descriptions made me feel like part of the Crew. This tale of pirates and treasure is much more than it appears.  It is a tale of love and loss, heartbreak and torment, commitment and determination.  I was blown away by the layers of this tidal wave of a story. IOG was a slow build for me, in the end, it was worth it. Isle of Gold weaves a dark version of the legends of Davy Jones, the Kraken, and the Sea Witch into an eloquent new legend. I cannot wait to see what happens next

~ Lynn's Review ~
Unless You Can Be A Unicorn

This review is for all those people who read the title, Unless You Can Be A Unicorn, and balked at the work of art Delphina Henley has given us. I, like you, had my doubts. I implore you to look beyond your first impressions and read this book. You will not be sorry.

On the surface it is a paranormal/fantasy romance. But once you start peeling back the layers, you find Scout, a lonely college freshman who just wants to be normal. But what is normal? Who says seeing glowing people and unicorns is not the norm? Follow Scout on her journey of self-discovery, first love, and what normal is to her.

The author in her #sneakilyobvious way has given the reader food for thought. Someone should not be shunned for being themselves. Everyone should be accepted for who he or she is.

Now aside from this, author Delphina Henley has woven a beautiful romantic tale. True to her form, it has shifters, unicorns, vamps and lots of sexual innuendo. We would expect nothing less. This book flowed like sitting down and having a conversation with your best friend.

I am giving this book 5 Stars. I only wish it were suitable for a younger audience because of the positive message it gives. Be yourself. Be your fabulous self. Nothing more. Nothing less. My favorite line in the book:

“You are not now, nor have you ever been just plain normal. You are what normal aspires to be.” ~Pierce to Scout 

Bravo, Delphina.

Lynn's Review ~ The Revenged Queen by Zachary Ryan

The Revenged Queen
​(High School Queens bk 2)
By Zachary Ryan
​Available on AMAZON

No one knows the real Marked Queen, but now everyone wants to know her.  In this sequel to the insatiable first novel, High School Queens, you will die to know more about your favorite dirty little Queens.
As we say goodbye to the Johnson Prep Seniors, the scandals and lies that exposed them in the beginning are back with a vengeance.
The Marked Queen thought she had the last laugh at prom. Now, it seems a new girl is coming for her crown.  With a new title, The Revenged Queen, she was out for blood and her prime targets—the ones exposing everyone’s dark and dirty little secrets. As we dive deeper into this scandalous and humorous world of prep school teens, we learn that everyone is a hustler with a secret and a Hollywood sob story.
Can Danielle keep her new illegal activities to make money under wraps? Was Calvin going to have a warm welcome as he outs himself as gay? Was Delilah going to take the knife from Danielle out of her back and stab her with it? Was Bethany going to enjoy her rule as queen bee or fail spectacularly? And was there more to Jordan than being just a slutty, party girl?
As the scandals pile up in front of them, their secrets will be exposed… And each secret is even more delicious than the last.

~~~REVIEW~~~

​If you thought author Zachary Ryan was catty in The Masked Queen, he is full on lioness in The Revenged Queen. Despite having their dirty laundry aired for all the school to see at prom, these players have not learned their lesson. Nothing stays secret at Johnson Prep! With escort services, drugs, and abortions the second installment is grittier and uglier than the first with a shocking ending that left this reader slack-jawed and salivating for more.

I do have one issue with the series. I noticed in book 1 that the author is not very descriptive. There is loads of dialogue but few words given to set the scene. That is even more evident in book 2. I prefer more description and world building but that's just me.

Dark & Devious Things
by Kelly Martin
Available on Amazon

Now that Abel Hale and Elise Morgan have been forced to hunt ghosts for Silas Ford's television show, things are about to get all kinds of freaky. 

Their first case involves Shonda King, a mother in Kentucky whose friendly childhood ghost has turned into an adult nightmare. Shonda, terrified for the safety of her family, wants Abel and Elise to get rid of the ghost-- by any means necessary. 

Sarah, though, is much more powerful than Abel and Elise realize. She's a doppelganger who can make herself into anyone-- anything. 

When you have as much baggage as Abel and Elise have, that is not a good thing. 

Locked down for forty-eight hours, can Abel and Elise fight through all of Sarah's tricks? Or will their two days of terror be enough to end their partnership-- and their lives-- forever?

~~~REVIEW~~~

This spine-tingling thriller left me peeking over the top of the book to see what made that noise and slowly sliding back down into the covers to hide. I love it when a story gives me chills Dark and Devious Things did that and more! This series is Supernatural and Ghost Adventures meets The Conjuring. If you love a suspenseful ghost story this one is for you.

​Audiobook Review 
Overall 4
Story 4
Performance 3

This is my first title from Jenna St. James and I must say I adore the Ryli Sinclair series and look forward to reading about more of her hijinks. The secondary characters steal the show in this one; especially Aunt Shirley. The old gal was a hoot! Picture Perfect Murder is a laugh out loud, cozy mystery and I definitely recommend it.

The narrator, Shoshannah Kramer, is a perfect Ryli and really brought the character out. Her male narration left a bit to desired but all in all, I enjoyed the narration.
