The Glass Coffin: Prequel to the Mari Fable Mysteries by Emily Fluke

3 star This book was ok. one of the things that I didn’t like about the book was how much our main character Mari kept bringing up her pregnancy. I know this book was only 59 pages but it still felt like a lot. the mystery was ok very simple but not bad.   

Chess: book 2 in vampires in wonderland by Candace Robinson & Amber R. Duell

                                                                                                                                        5 star This is the second book in "The Vampires in Wonderland" book series. In this book, we follow Chess, the son of The Queen of Hearts, and Ever, The White Queen and sister of Rav. We also have dual perspectives, like in the first book, which helps us because we are following two very different people. Ever is a good person. She loves and care's about her friends. Chess, on the other hand, is not a nice person & only cares about himself & his mother. I love the way Chess keeps saying sexual innuendos to...

One Cup at a Time: A Cat's Café Collection book 2 by Matt Tarpley

                                                                                                                                                5 star This volume of cat’s cafe definitely hits home for me because I too deal with anxiety which is a big part of this comic and how asking for help is really important. Making friends helps you feel not alone. When you have friends you feel better knowing that you have people who love and care about you and that makes all the difference. This is a very important book for people who need to know their not alone in their feelings.          

Maddie: Vampires in wonderland book 1 by Candace Robinson & Amber R. Duell

                                                                                 5 star One of the things I love about this book is how different it is from the original movie, which feels like an acid trip. In this book, we have duel perspectives. This is something I really like to see in books. Maddie, aka the mad hatter, and Noah, are both trying to save their sisters from really bad people. I like the fact that In this book the mad hatter is a woman and not a man which I think is very fun. The banter between Maddie and Noah is amazing, which I think helped build the sexual tension between the two of them. The authors added characters, which were not in the original movie, and by doing so the dynamics between some of the characters changed. If you don’t like really steamy sex scenes...

Cabin 1 book 1 in the Steele Shadows Security Series by Amanda McKinney

                                                                                                                                                    4 star This book was so much fun. I really like the relationships between the four brothers and their stepmother. They all really love each other. I appreciate the way Gage is super patient with Niki. I also feel bad for her because no woman deserves to be attacked in any way. The mystery of their dad's death is also super interesting. My two favorite characters are Wolf & Ax because they are both so funny. The ending was so crazy and I was not expecting it at all. I ...

It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey

                                                                                                                                                                                                       3 star Let me start by saying this is the first book in a new series by Tessa Bailey. There are two main characters. Piper is the first character we meet. She lives in California and she comes from a rich family. After an unfortunate event, Piper is sent packing to a small town in Westport, Washin...

The New Girl vol 1 of elles by Kid Toussain & art by Aveline Stokart

5 star I really liked the way this book tackled the topic of multiple personality disorder. The art style in this graphic novel was stunning it also helped the reader differentiate between all of the different personalities that Elle has throughout this book. There is also a subplot that is a mystery surrounding Elle's family. I can not wait to read the next volume from this series. I am super excited!!!

Cat's Cafe by Matt Tarpley

Release Date May 26, 2020 I think this is a super-friendly comic book for children of all age groups; especially, beginners who are first starting to learn how to read. The story does a great job of hitting on some pretty difficult topics; such as depression, the feeling of loneliness, and the importance of true friendship. Throughout the book, the reader is introduced to Cat, a coffee shop owner. Cat takes a lot of pride in providing top-notch service for all the guests who look at the coffee shop as a safe haven and as the epicenter for the growth of new budding friendships. Cat hires the first employee, Rabbit, who really looks up to Cat as a mentor.  The book is broken up with many activities along the way, which not only stimulates the mind but makes things more fun and interesting for young readers. The creativity and artistic flow of the illustrations add to the overall experience and enjoyment of the story.

The Fox & the little Tanuki Vol 1 By Mi Tagawa

Release Date March 17, 2020 One of my favorite characters was; of course, Manpachi! He is the most adorable cub ever; I want to wrap him up and hug him. Lol, what I enjoyed so much in the story was the relationship evolution between Senzou and Manipachi. The witty banter amongst the two added a light comedic air to the overall arch of the narrative. The artwork depicting the tail of the once-great spirited fox was truly exquisite. If you are unfamiliar with Japanese Fantasies and are new to reading the genre; it may be hard at first to understand all the mythical creatures and the history behind them. Overall, I am very intrigued to see where the story continues in future volumes of the series.
