August 11, 2018Format: Kindle EditionOnce again she solves a murder with the help of an ancestor, her best friend, and a sassy cat. Although this time she finds herself engaged and getting her brother in law involved too. This novel is very well written, funny, and the characters seem unbelievably real. You can definitely tell the author Susan puts some of herself into every story and even Emlyn herself. I found this novel to be a quick read since I could not put it down! I’m already looking forward to the next of the series.

Loved everything about it
I really loved the plot of this book. There is a lot going on and the author has written it in such a relatable way that is hard not to connect with the characters. I loved the fact that the lovebirds are podcast hosts as it adds so much to their love story and brings even more tension to their time apart. This author has an incredible way with words that will totally wrap you up and make you feel deeply connected to every chapter of the book. I’d highly recommend it.
The exiled Maca of Don is returning to his homeworld to destroy the Justine and Krepyon conquerors, and break the rule of the House of Sisters.
Things spiral out of control as the Sisterhood attempts to destroy all male Macas, and isolate the House of Don. With escalating conflicts, the Maca and his friends enter a battle to find a new life and free their people from the invaders.
After the battle for Thalia is over, the galaxy will never be the same again.
Praise from readers:
★★★★★ – “Not one who regularly picks up science fiction, I found Collier’s book to be engaging from the very beginning. There is so much room for supposition regarding possible future stories. Well done.”
★★★★★ – “An unusual book with interesting characters and plot. The author’s vast imagination has created an incredible world, but shows that no matter where or in what time we live we all have the same emotions and desires. I recommend Return of the Maca to anyone who enjoys a great story.”
I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
What If? has six dark stories and a poem that will make you think. I liked them, but I particularly two that rang true during the times that we are in:
“Confined!” is about Fern who self-isolates due to fear of the virus. See what can happen when someone isolates both their mind and body.
“One Race: On World – The Year 2050”: the government makes everyone multicolored, everyone works, everyone is paid the same amount no matter their job, and no one can have their own opinions (sounds a lot like 1984). Then, new neighbors move in…
“The Match” is a poem that’s disturbing. The other three stories are pretty good; they’re interesting and thought-provoking. What If? is a good book to read for when you don’t have much time (the stories are just 6 to 16 pages each) but want something that will make you think.
It’s small-town Nebraska in the late 1970’s and life in the small Midwestern town is quiet and uneventful. That’s what Libby Marshall and Bobby Menedez think until Bobby’s cousin, Ramon is beaten by a group of white boys because he is dating a white girl. Libby and Bobby realize that their relationship might make them targets, but they believe their love is stronger than hate. But is it? Something quite evil lies hidden Under the Western Sky.
C. Giguere5.0 out of 5 stars A Timely Book That’s Totally Retro!Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2013Verified PurchaseBobby Menendez has it tough, he is a Mexican teenager in a small town that has more than its share of racial tension. On top of that, he is dating Libby Marshal, a blond hair blue eyed white girl. This doesn’t go unnoticed by the local bigots who are determined to make Bobby’s life and everyone he loves, hell. Betrayed by his best friend, Bobby is left to face his enemies on his own all the while trying to protect Libby.
A plan is hatched and traitors close in on all sides while unlikely allies appear to fight at Bobby’s side. Secrets are exposed and the people Bobby thought he knew, reveal their true nature. In an effort to protect themselves and preserve their “perfect” town, it is decided Bobby must die. This is when all hell breaks loose!
Under the Western Sky is a story that could have easily been ripped from today’s headlines only it takes place in the 1970’s. I could almost hear the hiss from the turntable as the Santana record played while Bobby and Libby danced together. Dellani Oakes does an awesome job at depicting the era as well as the issues that plagued that period.
Under the Western Sky is filled with action, romance and suspense which will leave readers glued to the pages or eReader which ever you prefer. I give it 5 stars.
Just when I thought this series couldn’t get much hotter, BAM!!!!*** Hard-headed and fiercely independent- Katrina Winslow is definitely not used to being told what to do. Yet – just when she thinks that her life might be heading in the right direction for the very first time – she’s hit with a bomb-shell; and her past pops up to haunt her. Suddenly, she is sent down a path that she has no desire what so ever to take; and is told to leave behind the one man that she could possibly care for – or he’ll be killed. And that makes for one ticked off Witch!
Now, it’s Lucas Blackwater’s turn to show Kat that he is a force to be reckoned with. He is the Alpha male of his pack – sarcastic, overbearing and drop-dead gorgeous…and definitely not happy with being told no. When Kat tells him that she’s leaving – he doesn’t take the news well and forces her to take him with her. Whether she likes it or not.
Together they begin a journey that will change their world in more ways than they could ever have imagined. And, as Kat tries to push Luke away; for what she believes is his own safety – Luke has other idea’s. And the sparks fly! Can Luke convince her that what they have between them is real – or will the dangers that threaten everything they are destroy them? And, everyone that they love – including Abby and Desmond.
A fun, sultry, touching romance with passion and heart! It will grab you and hold on – from start to finish! Join the next journey in the Supernatural Desire Series.
Portrait of a beautiful female warrior in battle. Ancient times. Amazon.
She’s a misfit, a genetic mistake on Iskonia. Iliria’s clan uncle, Servolt, was a criminal. The introduction into society she expected won’t happen. His business partner wants compensation. She goes into a retreat on a backward planet. The delicate female Iskonian is in disgrace and fears being used to recoup Servolt’s losses. He’s head of security on Nizad and wants to keep his job. Drk is conflicted. As head of security, his job is to keep the peace, not get tangled up in attraction to beaten-down young females. But when the beautiful girl arrival is followed by two more of her race, his trouble radar starts buzzing.
In the center of a magical world there grows a beautiful and terrible chasm of climbing plants. On one side of the Ivy Wall we find the hell-of-Tyndra, on the other, the heaven-of-Ardnyt. But legend has it that in the middle…lives a preternatural beast that imprisons and tortures the children from both sides.
When the war against time begins, Azza will have to cross over the Ivy Wall, something that has never been done before by a living being. But if she does make it through, she just might discover who she really is and how she became trapped in this alternate reality.
A fairytale at heart, this is the first chapter in the epic saga of the youngest and most fickle of the four Norn Sisters. The same feisty immortal creature who must escape her inherent inner darkness to learn the meaning of love.
A veritable palindrome from start to finish, the narrative of Where Tyndra Turns to Ardnyt journeys through duality to discover what shocking truths emerge when up becomes down, life becomes death, suffering becomes release, and the most unexpected endings become the most surprising beginnings.
Welcome to a place where forwards and backwards are exactly the same direction. Here Where Tyndra Turns to Ardnyt.
December 14, 2016Format: Kindle EditionI first read this story as part of the Winter Lites collection. “Where Tyndra Turns to Ardnyt” is a true palindrome, a world mirrored backward and forward. This story is a standout reminiscent of the best works of Neil Gaiman and Charles De Lint, with the beauty of your favorite fairy tale and the brilliance of your favorite classic. It’s impossible not to fall in love with Azza as you share her journey. I can’t wait for the next novella to be released!
Devyn Mitchell has a choice… listen to the voice of her unborn baby – or die- again.
After a near-death experience, Doctor Devyn Mitchell finds herself not only mysteriously pregnant but able to communicate with her fetus.
She has two choices: give in to total madness or surrender to her new reality, which just may be the only way she and her family will survive the obsessions of the Homeless Hunter’s mind.
A true paranormal romantic thriller, A Sinister Bouquet: Awakening, the first of the Sinister Series, will take you right to the edge of what you know to be possible and then drop you in a place so dark, so terrifying, that the only passageway out is through the blinding light of awakening.
Wake up. Open your eyes. Finally. We’ve missed you so.

This book is absolutely amazing!!!!
Hjort has a unique way of storytelling! I am definitely a fan! Devyn Mitchell starts hearing her baby’s voice while it is still in the womb, and she thinks she’s losing her mind. A Sinister Bouquet keeps you wondering what’s going to happen. Are the authorities going to believe her or just think this is a side product of her being pregnant. But will supernatural powers be there to help? You’ll have to read it to find out. I highly recommend this book!
