 I loved this series! I never wanted it to end! Rebecca Ross has an amazing writing style that pulls you into the story and won't let go. There's mystery which I love. I enjoy having something to figure out, and the author being able to keep the truth hidden until the end. Guessing is obviously my favorite, but I thoroughly enjoy being wrong at the end.  ;)  If you love fantasy and great storytelling, jump into this two book series! I can't wait to read more of her writing! The Queen's Rising When her seventeenth summer solstice arrives, Brienna desires only two things: to master her passion and to be chosen by a patron. Growing up in the southern kingdom of Valenia at the renowned Magnalia House should have prepared her. While some are born with a talent for one of the five passions—art, music, dramatics, wit, and knowledge—Brienna struggled to find hers until she chose knowledge. However, despite all her preparations, Brienna’s greatest fear comes true: she is left wi...

  Accidentally Perfect by Marissa Clarke Workaholic Lillian Mahoney has given everything to her job. The hugely popular lifestyle show she helped create monopolizes her time, energy, creativity, and anything remotely resembling a life. But all it takes is the show’s womanizing, egomaniac star throwing a massive hissy on live TV to utterly implode Lillian’s career in a New York minute. Now Lillian’s hiding out in the gorgeous and completely unknown seaside village of Blink, Maine. Out of gas. A stolen wallet. A broken heel. And worse, she’s somehow managed to completely piss off the town’s resident hunk, Caleb Wright. She’ll show that hot, grumpy single father exactly what she’s made of. But Blink isn’t quite what Lillian expects—and neither is Caleb...or his feisty teen daughter she can't help but love. And while her entire life and career are in shreds, Lillian might just discover what happens when she gives her bad first impression a second chance… Review:  Ugh. I truly love...

  Avery Flynn has revealed the cover for  Mama's Boy, Last Man Standing Book 1! Releasing June 21, 2021 He's exactly who you want to take home. Top three lies about mama's boys: 1. That we don't know what we want. That one is straight up BS. I know exactly what I want--to win this bet with my cousins by any means necessary even if it means finding the worst possible date in all of Harbor City and agreeing to whatever she asks in exchange for her pretending to fall for me.       2. That we are soft, little wimps. Yeah, you don't get to be CEO of a multibillion dollar company by letting other people take advantage of you. So as soon as I realize my date Fiona Hartigan isn't exactly who she appears to be, there's nothing that will stop me from figuring out the truth--no matter how many dates it takes to unravel that mystery.       3. That we don't know how to kiss. Oh yes we do. The only problem is...

Jump into this fantasy series filled with twists and turns and advanced storytelling. Brandon Sanderson does not disappoint in bringing all aspects of this world to life with great character development all around. I was introduced to this series from a co-worker and I'm glad I dove in to discover this vast universe. The best part of these novels is the story doesn't end here. At least for some characters. He has a large list of books within this universe where you may catch a glimpse of characters from the Mistborn trilogy. Sanderson has a reading order on his  website if you're interested in all the different aspects of these stories or you can dive into some others. I loved learning more and more as you got further into the storyline. Never giving too much but just enough to keep you wanting more. The ending was interesting. I just jumped into another trilogy by him, so I will keep you posted!  Links for The Mistborn Trilogy Amazon (Kindle) Amazon (Boxset) Barnes and ...
