Review of Strange Magic Pt 1 by Michelle Mankin



Thyme owns an ice cream shop called Chantelle Glace. She has a grandmother that's 62 and a boyfriend named Shane that she's known since she was a kindergartner. Leon Johnson owns The Hotspot, a bar, and wants to buy Thyme's shop because of it's location. When Thyme was heading to her shop, Leon came upon her, held her hand for a moment, and said he wouldn't try to buy her place anymore, that he wanted to be friends. Thyme had a criss-cross pattern on the inside of her wrist. To celebrate Thyme's engagement to Shane, they go to The Hotspot with another couple. Leon wanted to give them a tour of his establishment. Upon meeting his manager, Thyme thought she looked just like Marie Laveau. After they meet her, they both pass out.
I found Thyme to really care about the people in her life. She's very cautious and yet she's a very curious person. She doesn't know anything about her family as her mother abandoned her.
I found this book to be very good reading material. I loved the twists and turns. The only thing I would advise a future reader is to also have book two.

Review of The Rest of My Life by Sheryl Browne - 5 Stars!!

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Adam slept with Lisa, who was a married woman. Nathanial was Adam's only friend. Nathanial was the marina's manager. Sienna is renting a cottage with her best friend Lauren. Sienna had to re-edit her romance script. Sienna wasn't sure if she believed that love conquered all anymore. Even though he was a womanizer, Sienna was attracted to Adam. He was also attracted to her, but knew he should stay away. Sienna was naive as far as passionate experiences went and her ex-boyfriend made her question whether or not she was frigid. She was a kind, warm and loving person trying to get a little breathing room from her dad. She loved her dad and even understood.  I really loved her character and her defending of those she cared for. Adam had been messed up from a previous relationship and saw his ex-fiance's ghost a lot. He had affairs to take away the pain and loneliness and drank for the same reason. Howeve

Review of Ignited by Laurie Wetzel - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maddy was dating an angel, MJ. MJ is a protector who has broken a lot of rules, but some he had to keep. MJ told Maddy she was his heart and he would fight before he would let anyone take her. Maddy had some special powers of her own. The characters were good, especially Maddy, who was overwhelmed with powers she couldn't control and the love she couldn't state and MJ. The plot was good as was the overall story. It dragged a little bit, but overall a good story. I recommend, although I didn't like the ending.

Review: Her Wolf

Her Wolf by Rebecca Royce My rating: 4 of 5 stars Ashlee Morrison thinks she’s going crazy...again. She’s become a bit obsessed with a wolf who may or may not be talking to her. Tristan Kane is a shifter that has been stuck in his wolf form and trapped at a zoo. When he finally gets a real scent of a worker that he’s been keeping an eye on makes him realize that she’s actually his mate. Like with all of this author’s books, this was a really good story and I really loved all of the characters. I really felt for Ashlee as she basically had her world flipped upside down right from the beginning. The only thing that bothered me was that it felt rushed in some places where I would’ve liked it to not have been. Beyond that, I highly recommend this story and can’t wait to read more from this series. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews
