The Christmas Key by Lori Wilde Blog Tour and Giveaway

Today is my day for my blog tour. Thanks to Pure Textuality

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Lori Wilde has created a phenomenon with her Twilight, Texas novels. Readers fell in love with the small town and its romantically-inclined denizens who believe in the power of cookies and mistletoe to bring people together. In her latest installment in the Twilight, Texas series, THE CHRISTMAS KEY, the Cookie Club is at it again meddling in the course of true love by whipping up a batch of matchmaker cookies designed to help the lovelorn find their soulmates.

There’s a legend in Twilight, Texas. If you sleep with a kismet cookie under your pillow on Christmas Eve, you will dream of your one true love.

She saw him in her dreams . . .

It’s impossible! Naomi Luther was standing face-to-face with the man she’d dreamed about over a year ago. Was it the magic of kismet Christmas cookies that brought him to her? Or is there an even greater force at work? All Naomi knows is she is falling, hard and fast, for the one man all good sense says she should not have.

She was his buddy’s sister . . .

Rebellious Mark Shepherd found order in the Marines but chaos on the battlefield. In a mission gone wrong, Mark is injured and one of his fellow soldiers loses his life. Haunted by guilt, he arrives in Twilight to keep a solemn promise. But when the Luthers mistake him for their handyman, he’s swept up in playing Santa to his buddy’s orphan son . . . and falling hard for Naomi’s irresistible bright spirit and sweet, sexy smile. But what will happen when she learns the truth?

My Thoughts

4 Stars

Mark shows up at the luther's to get forgiveness but when he shows up he is mistaken for someone else. With his guilt he gets to know the family and falling for Naomi and her nephew was not what he had planned. But Naomi is full of anger of the men she thinks let her brother die. As you keep reading you know that Mark will tell Naomi what really happened and the guilt he has. Naomi has so much hurt and grief that she tries to make everyone happy around her to cover it all. But will she forgive Mark once he tells her what happened. I loved these 2 characters and their emotions are so raw that you want to reach through the book and comfort them. I also enjoyed knowing the other people in this town and how they come together to celebrate the holidays.

A Heritage of Death by Alexa Padgett blog tour

 About A HERITAGE OF DEATH

An unconventional woman. A brutal murder. To solve the case, one woman will look for help from beyond the grave…

Cici Gurule wants to pretend her dream is nothing more than a meaningless nightmare. But the bruised and bloodied woman looked alarmingly like her. When a baby turns up on her porch--a baby who was reported missing days before--evidence points to a connection with the woman in Cici's dream, and she can no longer ignore the nighttime vision. Cici and Detective Sam Chastain struggle to follow the garbled evidence, but the killer scores his victim first. Worse, a message pinned to the victim's blouse states, "You're next."

Now, it’s a race against the clock to keep the baby safe and find the murderer before his trail goes cold. Cici's only chance to solve this mystery, before she becomes the next victim, means choosing between her faith and believing a message left by her ghostly twin.

My Thoughts: 4 Stars

All throughout this book Cici keeps seeing things of what is happening or has happened. She is close friends with Sam and she tries to help him solve the murders and find out what is going on. Cici's dead sister is the one sending her these visions that she can't shake off. You also can tell Sam and Cici have feelings for each other but they keep fighting them. I did not read the first book and I don't think you need to. You learn a lot from Cici and Sam to know what had gone on in the past.

A Heritage of Death is the second novel in a compelling female sleuth mystery series for fans of Ruth Ware and Gilly MacMillan. If you like convention-shattering heroines, vivid Southwest settings, and a touch of the paranormal, then you'll love Alexa Padgett's twisty mystery.

Missed A PILGRIMAGE TO DEATH and want to catch up?

 About A PILGRIMAGE TO DEATH (A Reverend Cici Gurule Mystery Book 1)

When Cici discovers a body in the forest, she's shocked to realize the victim's wounds are identical to the ones that killed her sister a year ago. Now she's embroiled in the takedown of a massive criminal operation, and the stakes couldn't be higher…

"A wholly absorbing gumshoe tale elevated by an extraordinary detective" (Kirkus Reviews starred review).

Someone murdered her sister. And shot her dog. The killer won't stop until she's dead, too.

Cici finds a dead body while hiking in the Santa Fe National Forest. The situation deteriorates when she discovers the victim bears similar stab wounds to those that ended her twin sister's life a year ago.

Then, her identical twin sister infiltrates her dreams. 

All of a sudden, Cici and her dogs must dodge arrows, bullets, and even a demon truck—all while she grapples with the knowledge that her sister was on the trail of a deep-rooted criminal operation. Worse, her twin's death was much more sinister than a random act of violence.

Now, as she follows the clues her sister drops in her dreams, the criminals want Cici out of the way. Permanently.

A Pilgrimage to Death is a high-octane thriller. Fans of Ruth Ware, J.D. Robb, and Angela Marsons will love Alexa's Padgett's new edge-of-your-seat novel.

Christmas At the Little Cottage on the Hill by Emma Davies Blog Tour

Today was my day for this blog tour. 

Christmas at the Little Cottage on the Hill (The Little Cottage Series Book 4) by Emma Davies

Amazon: https://amzn.to/2CJx9uO

iBooks: http://ow.ly/EzpO30mk29G

Kobo: http://ow.ly/ACa930mk26w

Arriving at the cozy little rental cottage as the first snow begins to fall, Ruby doesn’t regret leaving her bully of a husband for a moment, but she does feel guilty about uprooting her kids so close to Christmas. She can only wish that one day soon her son Jem will forgive her. 
It’s not long before the family are settled in and drinking hot chocolate by the fire, the flames kept roaring by a neighboring woodsman called Angus. As big as a tree, but as gentle as a dormouse, all Ruby’s instincts tell her to be wary of letting this gorgeous stranger get too close.
As Christmas day approaches and a blizzard sparks a power cut across the entire village, Ruby must force herself to believe in Christmas miracles again.


My Thoughts:
I loved this book and the characters. I read the book before this one and will continue to read the series. Ruby is very crafty and she makes gorgeous pieces out of wool that is mostly recycled. As she gets to know those around her she finds that she is being brought into the community as a friend and they all want to help her make her dream come true. Which is to open a wool shop. 
Also it is Maddie's and Seth's wedding right before Christmas and a storm is threatening that and you see how this community comes together to make it come true. Full of happiness and wanting to be there among this community has made this book very heartwarming.

About the author:

After a varied career, Emma Davies once worked for a design studio where she was asked to provide a fun and humorous (and not necessarily true) anecdote for their website. She wrote the following: 'I am a bestselling novelist currently masquerading as a thirty something mother of three.' Well the job in the design studio didn't work out but she's now a forty something mother of three and is happy to report the rest of her dream came true.

After many years as a finance manager she now writes full time, and is far happier playing with words than numbers. She lives with her husband, three children, and two guinea pigs in rural Shropshire where she writes in all the gaps in between real life. It's a county she adores, her love of its beautiful people and landscapes providing endless inspiration for her books, and in fact the only thing that would make Shropshire more idyllic is if it were by the sea. 

Pop over to her website www.emmadaviesauthor.com where, amongst other things, you can read about her passion for Pringles and singing loudly in the car. You can also wave to her on twitter @EmDaviesAuthor or find her on Facebook (a little too often than is good for her) 

SEAL's Honor by Megan Crane review

SEAL's Honor by Megan Crane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The last thing Blue Hendricks needs six months into his uneasy reentry into civilian life is trouble in the form of his old friend's kid sister, all grown up and smack in the middle of a dangerous murder investigation. But he didn't become a SEAL to turn his back on the hard stuff, and he can't bring himself to ignore Everly's call for help--no matter how much he knows he's not fit to be around the soft, vibrant woman she's become. Not after the things he's done.
Everly Campbell is desperate. When her roommate is murdered and the body vanishes, Everly fears she might be next. With no one to believe her, Everly runs to a remote Alaskan town to find a man she only vaguely remembers and his crew of ex-military brothers who could be her only hope. Blue wants to keep things all business but Everly isn't a little girl anymore and the commanding former SEAL is more temptation than she can resist.
As the men on Everly's trail draw closer, Blue will do anything to protect the woman he's starting to think of as his...

I really enjoyed this story and getting to know Everly and Blue. She thinks she is a big disappointment to her family and Blue hasn't seen his mom for 20 years. They grew up across the road from each other but he is 10 years older. When circumstances have them on the run and Blue goes home hostile and stays a short time and then on the run again, you find out things from their past. After a few life threatening situations and finding out what happened to Everly's roommate then these 2 go back home for another short visit. That visit mends some of the family problems. Then they are on their own again and living separate lives but Everly wants Blue permanently in her life so she goes to Alaska to make that possible.

I received this from NetGalley and Berkley for an honest review.

My Thoughts: 

This family is in the wrong place at the wrong time. If the woman had not screamed then Adam would not have been in trouble or his family. As the kidnappers separate the family in 2 cars and drive away to god only knows where, the family is scared. Are they going to be killed or tortured? So many things and why did they kill this woman's husband and what are they going to do with her. This book had me on the edge of my seat but sometimes the kidnappers do nice things. Then after tragedy strikes you learn more about Adam and his relationship with his ex. I really enjoyed this book and I received this from NetGalley and Bookouture for an honest review.

Michael Vanderhorst has always been a lone wolf. Or lone vampire? Whatever. Point is, this ancient gentleman vampire is obsessed.

He must find out, which is why he just signed on as her new assistant.

The problem is, she has no idea vampires exist or that she's just broken one of their laws. As the leader of his territory, Michael has been ordered by his council to turn her or kill her. "Over my dead body!"

To overturn the ruling, Michael needs the council on his side, and right now they're asking him to hunt down and execute five hundred vampires no one can seem to locate. Unfortunately, his assassin days are long over, and he's not so sure he can go back to killing.

But with Miriam's life on the line and their unusual bond growing stronger each day, will he dust off the old sword or give her the bite that will make her his forever?

The Lies We Told by Camilla Way review

The Lies We Told by Camilla Way
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Clara's boyfriend, Luke, disappears, everyone believes that he's left her, but Clara thinks she knows the truth. Recent evidence suggests that Luke had a stalker, and Clara worries that he's been kidnapped. Then Luke's older sister, Emma, who vanished twenty years ago, suddenly reappears.
Emma wants to help Clara with her search for Luke, but she refuses to talk about what happened--even though it nearly destroyed her family when she vanished. And the deeper Clara digs into Luke's mysterious disappearance, the more convinced she is that the two incidents are connected.

WOW! Talk about edge of the seat and not putting this book down. In this story you will meet 2 families and you will learn things from their past and then all of a sudden that story intertwines with what is going on. Clara will also learn things about Luke, from his best friend and then people in his past. You will come to care for Clare , Mac Rose and Oliver. Not to mention Doug and Beth. The very end will also surprise you as well. Well at least it did me. I also did not know what to think of Luke's brother Tom. I didn't trust him and he just seemed weird. I highly recommend this book.

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for letting me review this book.

The Darkness by Ragnar Jonasson review

The Darkness: A Thriller by Ragnar Jónasson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When a young woman, an asylum seeker from Russia, is found murdered on the seaweed covered rocks of Iceland, Hulda starts to ask questions. But it isn't long before she realizes that no one wants her to investigate this murder. She eventually must decide whether solving this case is worth losing her life.


My Thoughts:
Hulda is going to be retiring soon but her boss calls in her in and says she is retiring now. They have someone younger to take her place. She can work on a cold case. So she does without telling which one it is and goes and starts investigating which causes problems in the police department. With another case she just closed has started questioning her investigation she is forced to leave the next day.
During this story there are 2 others going on. Although I liked the storyline and Hulda I was quite bored with the book. It was slow moving and so many characters that Hulda talked to that you aren't quite sure what to think.
I received this from Minotaur books for an honest review.

Excerpt:

“I’m sending you to get this artifact, Dorian. We’re no’ thieves. Unless we have no other choice. I’d like to see if you can buy it from the mortal first. If that doesna work, then get it any way you can.”

Dorian watched as Con turned on his heel and walked from the cavern. He might not have been involved in the many battles or daily machinations of the ongoing conflicts with their enemies, but that didn’t mean Dorian hadn’t felt the anger and desolation when his brethren had lost or the contentment and delight when they won.

In every word Con uttered while detailing everything, Dorian perceived his worry, his unease. But more than that, Dorian felt the fear that ran through Dreagan at their new nemesis.

Whoever this band of Dark and Light Fae and drough and mie Druid, their first strike had been substantial. The ramifications of the Kings touching the wooden dragon still caused ripples, and likely would for some time.

Dorian rolled his shoulders. His muscles were stiff from his time sleeping. Whether in dragon or human form, he needed to remember who he was.

He’d be happy to remain in his true form forever, but his King called for him. And that meant Dorian was going to have to interact with the very beings he wanted to wipe from the realm.

Slowly, he walked to the water. His enhanced eyesight didn’t need the aid of any light as he peered over the edge to look at himself.

As soon as he saw his face, he cringed and jerked back. He wasn’t prepared for this. But there wasn’t time for him to get ready.

Dorian blew out a breath. The last time he had been outside his mountain was after he watched his dragons cross the dragon bridge to a new realm and helped to bind Ulrik’s magic.

He’d been inconsolable, his world shattered in the space of a heartbeat. Everything he’d loved, everything he’d lived for had been taken from him. Viciously. Cruelly.

Ruthlessly.

Con had brought him to his mountain because Con knew if Dorian was left alone that he would finish what Ulrik had begun.

There wasn’t a day that went by that Dorian didn’t dream of his life before the humans.

Or plot their demise.

Now Con wanted him out in the world. Dorian would get what was needed to battle their new foes, but every chance he got, he would take out a mortal.

They didn’t belong on this realm. It wasn’t theirs. It belonged to the dragons.

And the dragons would take it back.

Soon. Very soon.

My Thoughts

The story starts out at a charity auction and Alex is being auctioned as a date. When Dorian makes the highest bid the attraction starts. He seemed to only be after one thing. A relic. But the attraction is very mutual and the spend the night together. Little does she know he is a dragon and soon finds out. She isn't sure what to think but after a discussion she decides to give him what he wants. I have never read a dragon book like this before so I wasn't sure what to expect but I really liked it. There are a lot of books to this series and maybe someday I will get to it. This is a novella which reads like a standalone.

Today is my Blog Tour for Kill The Queen by Jennifer Estep

Gladiator meets Game of Thrones: a royal woman becomes a skilled warrior to destroy her murderous cousin, avenge her family, and save her kingdom in this first entry in a dazzling fantasy epic from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Elemental Assassin series—an enthralling tale that combines magic, murder, intrigue, adventure, and a hint of romance.

In a realm where one’s magical power determines one’s worth, Lady Everleigh’s lack of obvious ability relegates her to the shadows of the royal court of Bellona, a kingdom steeped in gladiator tradition. Seventeenth in line for the throne, Evie is nothing more than a ceremonial fixture, overlooked and mostly forgotten.

But dark forces are at work inside the palace. When her cousin Vasilia, the crown princess, assassinates her mother the queen and takes the throne by force, Evie is also attacked, along with the rest of the royal family. Luckily for Evie, her secret immunity to magic helps her escape the massacre.

Forced into hiding to survive, she falls in with a gladiator troupe. Though they use their talents to entertain and amuse the masses, the gladiators are actually highly trained warriors skilled in the art of war, especially Lucas Sullivan, a powerful magier with secrets of his own. Uncertain of her future—or if she even has one—Evie begins training with the troupe until she can decide her next move.

But as the bloodthirsty Vasilia exerts her power, pushing Bellona to the brink of war, Evie’s fate becomes clear: she must become a fearsome gladiator herself . . . and kill the queen.

My Thoughts:

I have read a lot of fantasy in the past couple of years but most of it YA and this was not YA. I loved the person that Evie became and the strength that she got when she went into hiding. She joined the gladiators to learn how to fight and because their leader was someone that the Queen told her to run to, right before she had died. This grabbed me right from the start and I did not want to put it down. This is the first book of a new series and I can't wait for the 2nd book to come out next year.

The Christmas Cafe at Seashell Cove by Karen Clarke review

The Christmas Cafe at Seashell Cove by Karen Clarke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Interior designer Tilly Campbell loves being carefree and single. But her latest job is redecorating the cosy local café for a Christmas party, and when her friends confess their plans for the big night – including a proposal, a declaration of love and a pregnancy announcement – Tilly starts to wonder if she might be missing out…
Transforming the café into a winter wonderland is more of a challenge than she thought, so when she bumps into gorgeous newcomer Seth, Tilly welcomes the distraction. Seth is a single father, struggling to settle his son Jack into their new cottage, and Tilly is determined to help them make their house into a home in time for Christmas.
But with the café still in chaos just days before the party it looks like it’s going to be a Christmas to remember for all the wrong reasons… With friends old and new relying on her, can Tilly save the Christmas party?

I enjoyed this story. Tilly does have a boyfriend but something is off about him. I didn;t like him . Tilly's sister treats her like crap and then she has a change of heart and starts being nice. I really liked Tilly and Seth and Tilly's friends. I found this to be like a Hallmark Christmas movie.

I am Behind You by John Ajvide Lindqvist review

I Am Behind You by John Ajvide Lindqvist
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Four families wake up one morning in their caravans, next to their cars, on an ordinary campsite in southern Sweden. However, during the night something strange has happened. Everything else has disappeared, and the world has been transformed into an endless expanse of grass. The sky is blue, but there is no sign of the sun; there are no trees, no flowers, no birds. And every radio plays nothing but the songs of sixties pop icon Peter Himmelstrand.

As the holiday-makers try to come to terms with what has happened, they are forced to confront their deepest fears and secret desires, and in many cases expose the less appealing aspects of their character. Past events that they have tried to bury rise to the surface and take on a terrifying physical form.

I actually wanted to stop reading this. It was slow and boring. I got to the end and still do not know what the hell happened. I am so confused.

I received this ARC from the publisher for an honest review.
