Hello, all!
It has been a little while since I did a post about the indie books I have read and reviewed. Let's go ahead and do three months at once, shall we?
To Hate and to Hold
by Dakota Rebel
Rating: 5 Stars
Review:
Loved it.
Whoa,
this was a hot read from the start. I thoroughly enjoyed delving into
this paranormal world that felt so natural and not over-explained. Every
scene left me wanting more.
Sexy and sweet!
Teddy Bear Revolution
by T. E. Hodden
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
This
was a great story that kids and adults can both enjoy. I loved the
non-stop action and humor. The bears were adorable yet full of life and
personality. Each short story was well-written and full of intrigue and
suspense. Can't wait to read more from this author!
Gems of Strength
by The Sisterhood
Rating: 5 Stars
Review:
A
wonderful collection of varying short stories by various indie authors.
Romance, action, science fiction, fantasy, and even a thriller, this
anthology has it all.
Though there were one or two stories that
didn't resonate with me, on the whole, I thought the stories were
brilliant and certainly kept with the theme of strong women characters.
Well edited and engaging, I highly recommend this one.
Ascension Within
by Julie Nicholls
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
A
wonderful conclusion to a sexy and action-packed trilogy. Mysteries,
steamy moments, and suspense kept me turning pages. The characters are
diverse and lovable and the happy ending was delicious. Another great
read from Julie Nicholls!
Clover
by Moxie Darling
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
A quick, hot read!
Though
the sex may be taboo to some, Moxie Darling makes it feel perfectly
natural in this steamy short story. A nice mix of sexy and sweet.
Beyond the Reach of Judgement
by Jo Bissell
Rating: 3 Stars
Review:
This
was a pretty decent vampire read. Though parts were drawn out and
Julien was kind of a whiney protagonist, the story itself was good. The
ending was heartbreaking and left me wondering, though it could have
come a hundred pages earlier.
Hannah: A Bride for Cowboy Warren
by Jenny Creek Tanner
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
This was a sweet short story with a vivid setting and relatable characters. A quick read that leaves you with warm feelings.
Heart of the Gladiator
by Lydia Pax
Rating: 5 Stars
Review:
An intriguing story.
This
was a great read that truly brought the entire world of the Roman
gladiator to life. The setting details, interesting characters, and
steamy romance made this hard to put down. I definitely recommend it!
Mark of the Beast
by Trevor L. Wooten
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
A real page-turner!
Though
the sheer amount of characters was a bit confusing at times, the story
was fast-paced and exciting. The main characters had unique
personalities that made them easy to relate to and the villains were
intimidating but cheesy in ways even the protagonists could joke about.
All in all, an enjoyable story.
I read some good ones these past few months. That Goodreads Reading Challenge is pretty much in the bag. If you aren't reading books by these indie authors, you are missing out.
As usual, have a great week and happy reading!
