4 out of 5 stars

At first I wobbled between a 3.5 stars and a 4.

In the end this read struck me in a way and I knew it deserved the 4… and I will tell you why.

Kimi Eisele had a fantastic concept and she executed it perfectly.

This was unlike any post apocalyptic novel I have read before. Please keep in mind I am use to the fast pace, disease wiping out the world, zombies, evil humans struggling to survive and willing to do anything needed to do so….

thumbnail_IMG_2812 The Lightest Objects In The Universe was different. It was a bit of a Showing the power of love even in the darkest of times.

A perfect balance of both plot and character growth throughout this read. The relationships that existed prior to this angry flu and the relationships that grew during the story were memorable. You meet so many different characters, each one unique in their own way.

That being said, while reading this you need to be on the ball. Kimi introduces so many different side characters, while bouncing back and forth between Carson, Beatrix and also some moment glimpses into their lives prior to this epidemic. If you miss an important moment or a character introduction it may confuse you. So pay attention!

If you are a lover of any post apocalyptic, dystopian, science fiction reads than give The Lightest Object In The Universe a go. It may be different then what you are use to but I don’t think it will disappoint.

5 out of 5 stars

Gold right here! Kate T. Parker has created an absolute treasure!

A heart felt, stunning, memorable read for anyone’s book collection. Especially if you are a boy Mom!

Boys are strong. Boys are fearless. Boys are adventurous. Boys are courageous, Boys are sensitive. Boys are smart… All boys are unique.

Emotions are powerful! What better way to hear about what boys of all ages, from all around the world are feeling, then to read quotes from them directly.

The Heart of a Boy lets their voices be heard.

A brilliant read for any parent. An even better read for the youngsters themselves. Give them a chance to see what others may be going through. To see that they are not the only ones, to receive the inspiration they deserve or may need at times… showing them just how truly important and special they are.

The Heart of a Boy has inspired me and will keep inspiring me. It will stay close to my heart, while keeping it full.

And on that note. I think I need to end this review and go give my 2 most amazing boys the biggest, most embarrassing sloppy kiss, from me!…. There Mom!

“Did he just say hoodlums?”

My favourite geeky detective!

5 out of 5 stars!

Now since this is book two in the Golden Arrow Mysteries series, it will be hard to review… while not giving away any spoilers. But I will do my absolute best!

Meghan’s writing is impeccable. Perfect balance between, plot, dialog, suspense and romance. I knew I always loved thrilling detective reads, but it’s not till Meghan shared her masterpieces with the world that I realised how much I needed my favourite geeky detective read!

Comics, super heroes, villains, video games, geeks, drag queens and sexy detectives! What else could anyone ask for in an electrifying read?

I don’t know if I could ever get tired of the original, magical trio. MG; A stylish, force to be reckoned with geeky comic book artist. Ryan; A sweet dedicated bestie, who loves his video games and Lawrence; The Queen B of all drag queens! … in my eyes. Oh and lets not forget the addition of MG’s hubba hubba detective boyfriend, Matteo Kildaire.

The Queen Con did not disappoint!… Action packed goodness from start to finish. And it’s true “the sequel is where the real plot twist happens“.

This vibrant read goes out with a pow, leaving you wanting more!… so much more!

Published by 47North and releases tomorrow! …July 9, 2019. So drop what you are doing, run out and get it now. If you haven’t read The Frame Up, then be sure to pick both up!

I can’t thank Thomas Allen & Son deeply enough for sending this unbelievable read my way for review. Thank you from the very bottom of my nerdy heart!

And of course thank you all for reading.

“What does it take to believe in the unbelievable?”

4 out of 5 stars

Lionel might be a reporter, but he would make an excellent detective.

I am a sucker for a good thriller and Ghosts of Gotham had me hooked right from the beginning, it was intense and fast paced. The twist around 30% in had me buzzing. I don’t know how Craig could have made it any more exciting, yet he did just that.

Lionel faces some extreme moments and will cross paths with some extraordinary people.

This book is hard to explain without giving any spoilers, but Craig has created a fierce world.

I truly believe so many people will admire this read.

An action packed mystery, paranormal, thriller… twisted with fantasy. How can you pass that up?

A Gentlewoman’s Guide to Murder by Victoria Hamilton

London, 1810 and Miss Emmeline St. Germaine is doing right in the world!

Along side other lovely ladies, Emmeline is doing her part to save orphaned children and scullery maids who are being abused by men, for their own disgusting pleasures.

Emmeline pays a visit to knight, Sir Henry Claybourne, holding a knife to his neck. Warning him of his own wrong doing with his scullery maid.

Shortly after Emmeline’s visit, Sir Henry was murdered.

Leaving Regency London shaken with fear, knowing a murder or murders are on the loose.

Emmeline is concerned that perhaps the true assassin witnessed her at the home.

Needing to be mindful where she treads. Miss Emmeline needs to make sure her hidden identity is not revealed and that she herself is not held guilty for Claybourne’s murder.

4 out of 5 stars

I will start by saying as mentioned above men are using scullery maids for their own personal pleasures. Trigger warnings for physical abuse towards young girls. I will add that Victoria does so in a very gentle way and does’t go deep into details during these parts throughout the book.

At first I found the pace of this book to be a bit slow. I was concerned I was going to lose interest quickly.

Yet again, I was wrong! It didn’t take long and I was sucked in.

Emmeline is a strong, bold, intelligent young lady. She knows the events happening around her are wrong and will not stand for it. Even when people are doing everything in their strength to turn her in an alternative direction. Believing that no women has a place in what she’s trying to accomplish. A strong female protagonist is always refreshing and enjoyable to read, and Miss Emmeline St. Germaine is exactly that!

A Gentlewoman’s Guide to Murder may have started out a bit slower but Victoria sends you down many different pathways throughout this book. Keeping you on your toes with each and every twist and turn.

A very enjoyable read. It gave me tons of Sherlock Holmes vibes mixed with a gentle classic.

Very well done!

Synopsis copied from Amazon.ca

“For Fig’s dad, hurricane season brings the music”.

“For Fig, hurricane season brings the possibility of disaster”.

My own description would not do this breathtaking middle grade justice! The written synopsis gives you a peak at everything you need, without giving spoilers.

5 out of 5 stars!… No, scratch that! 10 out of 5 stars.

You think the cover is absolutely stunning, right? Wait until you dive in! The guts of this story! How else can I put it…. you will fall in love!

There is so much emotion packed into this novel. My heart is still so full and warm from the moment I set it down.

Fig loves her father unconditionally, but hates herself when she feels anger towards him. This is completely understandable with the situation she faces. She wants more then anything to understand her father better. To know exactly where his brain goes on the “not so great” days.

Her father knows things are not perfect but is almost blind to just how bad it really is. He loves his daughter, double that!… But it’s not until things start to unwind that he realises just how bad it’s got. He will stop at nothing to make things right, to make things better!. They may not ever be “normal” or “perfect”, but he’s willing to work as hard as he needs to make it their kind of “normal” and their kind of “perfect”.

Fig and her dad are not alone! Between Fig’s best friend and the most wonderful, softhearted neighbour that just moved in. They will succeed!.. They have to succeed!

This will be a forever favourite!

Nicole Melleby has absolutely blown me away with her fantastic writing! I can not wait to see what more hits the shelves by her.

Synopsis copied from Amazon.ca

5 out of 5 stars!

Being the avid reader I am, I have always been sceptical of wordless picture books. I couldn’t understand the reason for a wordless book. Children’s book or not, it just didn’t make any sense to me.

What is a book without words?

That is until I sat down to read “The Brain Storm” …with my two most wonderful boys!

Their expressions said it all.

A wordless book opens the story to your own interpretation.

After flipping through the book I asked my oldest who is nearing 10 years old, for his thoughts on the story and what he thought it meant. It was incredible to see just how close our ideas were.

I can’t wait till I can sit down with my youngest when he is a bit older to get his interpretation. He’s only 2… just a little too young to get feedback from just yet.

What’s even more amazing is no matter how many times you flip through this book, you will have a different story run through your imagination each time. Depending on your mood in that moment.

We will be able to enjoy this story for years to come and never get tired of it!

Wordless children books—– Perhaps my age was getting the best of me. Maybe I was losing connection with my own imagination.

One things for sure… The Brain Storm changed that!

A Gentlewoman’s Guide to Murder by Victoria Hamilton

Scandal and slayings among Regency London’s elite

The shocking murder of Sir Henry Claybourne leaves Regency London shaken and horror-struck. But for genteel spinster Miss Emmeline St. Germaine, the crime slices far too close to home. Just hours before the knight’s death she held a dagger to him, threatening him to stay silent as she rescued a scullery maid he had procured for his pleasure.

Did the man―or woman―who murdered the knight know of her visit? Her secret identity at risk, her reputation and life in jeopardy, Emmeline must solve the crime or face scandalous exposure and ruination, or worse―the hangman’s noose―for a crime she did not commit.

Ghosts of Gotham by Craig Schaefer

Irresistibly drawn to mysteries, if only to debunk them, reporter Lionel Page exposes supernatural frauds, swindlers, and charlatans. His latest case is an obsession—at least for an ancient and wealthy heiress: verify the authenticity of a lost Edgar Allan Poe manuscript circulating through New York City’s literary underworld. But the shrewd Regina Dunkle offers more than money. It’s a pact. Fulfill her request, and Lionel’s own notorious buried past, one he’s been running from since he was a child, will remain hidden.

As Lionel’s quest begins, so do the warnings. And where rare books go, murder follows. It’s only when Lionel meets enigmatic stranger Madison Hannah, his personal usher into the city’s secret history, that he realizes he’s being guided by a force more powerful than logic…and that he isn’t just following a story. He is the story.

Now that the true purpose of his mission is revealing itself in the most terrifying ways, it may finally be time for Lionel to believe in the unbelievable.

Synopsis copied from Amazon.ca

“Men don’t always know what they need, that’s why God made Women”.

5 out of 5 stars! – Incredibly charming!

I adore novels written in a past setting, exactly what I was expecting Courting Mr. Lincoln to be… since it’s based in the 1800’s, but this was completely different. Louis has written a book in the modern day, set in the past, yet reads as a genuine classic……Brillant!

Miss Todd is smart, independent and has such a strong knowledge of politics. Truly a well rounded young lady.

Lincoln’s also smart, determined and very hardworking. He has goals and is working towards them. Although he is missing proper manners and does not have the perfect gentlemen style, just yet. Lack of funds doesn’t help with that situation, but a great friend could become very helpful with that.

This is where Joshua Speed comes in. He is truly wonderful! (Spoiler… I think Speed was my favourite character!). Speed is an incredible man, with so much warmth in his heart. Speed keeps a great pride for those he is close to, especially Lincoln.

Louis Bayard has created such a marvellous read! and I couldn’t be happier to have this wonderful addition to my shelves.
