Blurb/Summary:

Who doesn’t love a good swap meet? You find tons of great stuff you don’t need, but hey, sometimes someone else’s trash just speaks to you, amiright?

Some things a little louder than others…

As in, some things actually “speak.”

Dominique Acosta should know. One minute she’s just living her life, spending time with her grandpa in his memory care facility, and the next thing, everyone’s questioning her mental health after she starts shouting “THOR!” uncontrollably, without warning—in a drugstore.

All thanks to a talking hammer she spotted at a swap meet.

Which then showed up in her kitchen…

So who do you turn to when you now own a talking hammer and you can’t stop randomly screaming the name of a Norse God everywhere you go? OOPS, of course! And Nina, Wanda and Marty come running.

And hot on their heels?

Harvey Larsen—huge, handsome, and apparently, the hammer’s babysitter. Oh, and he’s also Thor’s son? Yes. That Thor. (More on that particular god’s prolific baby-making abilities later.)

Apparently, Dom’s been chosen to protect Midgard (Earth to mere mortals) and rule Asgard. As it happens, she’s the only person on the planet who can pick the hammer up. Lucky her…

But the hammer’s hot property, and everyone wants to get their paws on it. So Harvey and the girls from OOPS will have to train this reluctant warrior how to wield such a powerful weapon quickly, if she stands any chance of getting out of this alive…

And saving the entire world…

Review:

Loved the creative license Dakota Cassidy took with Thor and Asgard. The OOPS ladies were in top form in this installment. I also enjoyed seeing characters brought in from past stories. It solidifies the notion of Framily that the OOPS women have created with their altruism. Not sure how they have time for their own families with all the volunteering they do. Would love to see a “week in the life” of these women. Do they ever sleep? 

Dominique Acosta is adorable and devoted to her grandfather. She is all things good and protective. Dominique is worthy of wielding Thor’s hammer and so much more. Dominique and Harvey Larsen, Thor’s son, make a cute couple. Harvey has issues with his parental figure and a side of drama. 

As with past Accidentals the OOPS ladies rally with all their might and Harvey is swept up in the commotion and preparations. Harvey helps Dominique become the warrior that Asgard needs and in doing so discovers things about himself. 

I laughed out loud and enjoyed the story immensely!

Blurb/Summary:

CORBIN: Wild Wolf Pack from the world of Gallize Shifters

In his late teens, Corbin fell for a female wolf shifter who, like him, was living secretly among humans. That mistaken trust cost him years of freedom and left him with a broken wolf. Now that he has escaped the Romanian gang leader who bought him, he’s hiding in a South Carolina wolf shifter pack where he wants to prove his value so he can stay. That’s why he volunteered for a security contract his pack leader accepted where they will investigate a high-value entertainment shifter whose human bodyguards keep dying. When Corbin discovers it’s the same woman who ruined his life, he’s happy to do his part in determining if she’s an innocent victim or a killer.

Gifted with a natural ability to sing, wolf shifter Eirene lives a dual life on stage performing and covertly helping female shifters running from abusive packs. She hides them from dangerous alphas and shifter law enforcement anxious to lock up rogue shifters with no pack alliance. If her secret gets out, Eirene will be fingered as a criminal and lose her protected celebrity status, but she knows what it’s like to be a female wolf shifter with no one to depend upon. Especially not a man since all of those she’s ever known have let her down, starting with the young man who stole her heart years ago then disappeared without a word.

When the third member of a security detail forced on her by her trustee is critically injured following two who died in mysterious ways, she catches a familiar scent. A wolf shifter from her past, the last person she wants to see when she can’t juggle a new problem.

With one bad decision, Eirene and Corbin land in the wrong place at the wrong time facing jackal shifters stalking them. Could it be shifter law enforcement trying to entrap Eirene or the Romanian leader hunting Corbin? They both have secrets to protect and need each other to survive, but can they trust again?

Dive into the new romantic adventure spin off series from the League of Gallize Shifters that will yank on your heart strings with every unexpected twist and pin you to the edge of your seat until the explosive ending.

Review:

Fabulous story in the Gallize Shifter world. Both Corbin and Eirene have great back stories and everyday real-life drama of “normal” shifters. Their stories each show how discrimination, easy manipulation by extortion, and poor use of power can ruin shifter lives so quickly. It was very apparent in this story that the public views shifters as dangerous and not to be trusted.

Corbin and Eirene fight to survive each day facing down the odds against them. Not only do they survive, but they choose to thrive and make a difference in the community. Eirene is a true envoy of her own making.

These two compliment on another and genuinely want what is best for each other. Their wolves lend both gravity and humor to the story allowing their humans to connect on a different level.

The story revolves around Corbin and Eirene, but there are some of the main characters from the Gallize world involved in their destiny. Corbin was a thoroughly entertaining read, and I loved the characters.

Blurb/Summary:

Stevie and Win here, back in the mystery solving saddle again!

Cary Donahue, owns Pretty Fly for a Fry Guy, a new place in Eb Falls, where all manner of the most decadent crispy French fry combinations this side of the planet are made. Imagine tender brisket, smoked and sliced to perfection on a bed of cheesy fries, topped with tangy barbecue sauce.

To say I’d found my new home away from home is an understatement, much to the dismay of Win and my cholesterol. But when Cary is quite suddenly unalived, all of Eb Falls is in shock.

Who would harm the man who served bits of fried, starchy Heaven with a smile and a kind word?

Of course, Cary appears to us from the afterlife, looking for our help to solve his murder, but in a strange turn of events and quite suddenly, I can hear him and Win can see him. Taken aback by this new twist in our ghostly communications, we’re even more surprised to find Cary isn’t communicating in choppy sentences and vague appearances the way most entities we deal with do. He's clear as a bell, so solving his murder should be a piece of cake, right? Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.

But there’s just one small problem, Cary isn’t in possession of the entirety of his memories—as in, almost any of his past or much of what he remembers weeks before he was murdered.

Figures, right? But we jump in feet first anyway, and as we peel back the layers of Cary’s life, we discover far more than we bargained for.

A hidden past, tawdry secrets, lies, powerful people in high places, and more murder than you can shake a stick at!

Review:

Fabulous trip back into Eb Falls for another delightful story. Dakota Cassidy keeps it interesting by changing up Win and Stevie’s ghostly abilities. If this becomes an ever-changing dynamic, it will keep the stories fresh and engaging on another level.

This installment had everything a reader has come to expect from this series: witty dialogue, crazy ideas implemented, fun interpersonal relationships between the main characters, small town gossip, and even some ghost gossip. This story had a great plot, surprising plot twists, and was a page-turner.

The Case Of The Phantom Spy And The Haunted French Fry was a wonderful tale. Not including the ghostly and magical activity, this plot seems entirely plausible in real life. The paranormal aspect lent to and brought about the actual consequences for the criminals. I think the consequences were the part that seemed more fictional than the rest! Terrific addition to the Witched and Hitched Mysteries series.

What you know that you can do or have: The possibilities within your reach but not all of them.

You’re always operating within one of these states. This guide will help you recognize whether you’re moving forward or feeling stuck and empower you with self-help tools and strategies to break free from your limitations.

So, I decided to create something different—something accessible, actionable, and designed to truly make a difference.

Review English

I found this book in a difficult part of my life. The concept of the Four States of Mind intrigued me.

I’ve been stuck in the possible all my life. I’d never tried to swerve out of my lane before. Perhaps, I was scared. Or maybe, I never thought the impossible is within grasp. Ms. Umara is informative and dedicated to making the steps solid as possible. I learned how to break free from the limits I’d placed on myself.

Within these pages are a literal map to growth one never though laid in the darkness of mental blocks that stunt our journeys to understanding ourselves better and striving for more.

Life is too short to spend it on the couch. Get up and stretch. It’s time to create and mold my reality in dreams I’d buried deep inside.

I’d read 4SM in English before the Spanish version. You know I read that too. I can’t wait for her next book, Capital Sins. Ms. Umara, you have gained a grateful fan and motivated searcher for the unknown.

If there were ten stars, I’d click it in a heartbeat.

Reseña en español

Encontré este libro en un momento difícil de mi vida. El concepto de los Cuatro Estados Mentales me intrigó. He estado atrapado en lo posible toda mi vida. Nunca antes había intentado salirme de mi camino. Quizás tenía miedo. O tal vez, nunca pensé que lo imposible estuviera al alcance de la mano. La Sra. Umara es informativa y se dedica a que los pasos sean lo más sólidos posible. Aprendí a liberarme de las limitaciones que me había impuesto.

En estas páginas hay un mapa literal hacia un crecimiento que uno nunca imaginó que estaría establecido en la oscuridad de los bloqueos mentales que impiden nuestro viaje hacia una mejor comprensión de nosotros mismos y hacia la lucha por más.

La vida es demasiado corta para pasarla en el sofá. Levántate y estírate. Es hora de crear y moldear mi realidad en los sueños que había enterrado en lo más profundo de mi ser.

Había leído 4SM en inglés antes de la versión en español. Sabes que yo también la leí. Estoy deseando leer su próximo libro, Pecados Capitales. Sra. Umara, se ha ganado una admiradora agradecida y una persona motivada en busca de lo desconocido.

Si tuviera diez estrellas, le daría un clic sin pensarlo dos veces.

Blurb/Summary:

The final term at Nocturne Academy has begun… and something dark is stirring beneath the surface...

Avery
Being gay in the magical world means hiding who you are—or paying the price. I’ve learned to keep my head down, stay close to my coven, and survive the football team's cruelty one insult at a time. But nothing prepared me for Saint, my new roommate. There’s a haunted look in his golden eyes... and a monster under his skin.
A Cursed Drake lives inside him—possessive, obsessed, and terrifyingly fixated on me. He whispers of “cuddles,” but there’s violence in his desire. I should be running. Instead, I’m drawn to both the boy and the beast.

Saint
My whole life, I’ve been taught to fear what I am. To hide it. To fight it. But the curse burning inside me grows stronger every day. And when Avery came into my life—brilliant, brave, and already carrying wounds of his own—the fire inside me turned to obsession.
He soothes my madness. Calms the chaos.
But the Drake is hungry… and it wants him.
If I give in, I’ll lose myself. If I resist, I might lose him.

At Nocturne Academy, love is forbidden, dragons are cursed, and being different can get you killed.
But some things are worth the danger.

Review:

The final book in the Nocturne Academy series did not disappoint. This is Avery and Saint’s story and is full of teenage boy angst, curses, and family drama. Drake and Danger is a YA story and does not contain explicit content but does cover mature themes.

Evangeline Anderson does a wonderful job of bringing to light the difficulties facing the LGBTQ+ community not only from their own family but society. If you have read the other three previous books, then you will understand that they have a “found and made” family from the coven they have all formed. Everyone needs support through life and this story is a good example.

All the original characters play a role in Avery and Saint’s story. Both the characters and readers get a closer look at both boy’s living situations at home. The story has non-stop action and is quite the page-turner.

In the final author notes, Evangeline Anderson, states that this will probably be the last story. She makes sure that we know they will all support one another going forward as a family. The ending is both a HEA and HFN. 

I really enjoyed this final story.

Blurb/Summary:

Wanda Jefferson, vampire/werewolf hybrid and (very) reluctant temporary PTA president, reporting for duty!

Yes, yes, yes. I’m a PTA member. Don’t be so shocked. I’d do anything for my two precious babies, Olivia and Sam, including whip up batches of cupcakes late into the night for their annual bake sale at the Paranormal School for the Gifted. And if I have to endure the most insufferable, controlling, bossy-pants PTA president in all of existence who goes by the name Neerie Lincoln-- so be it.

Except today, Neerie’s a no-show, leaving me in charge of the event. Inconceivable! The domineering little fae would never willingly miss the school’s biggest fundraising event. Who else will properly ensure sweet and savory treats never grace the same table?

Neerie’s sister claims she’s been missing for two days. When she begs me and my besties, Nina and Marty, to put our fledgling detective skills to work to find her, we’re reluctant. I mean, there’s no love lost for the PTA president. However, she’s left behind a little girl who misses her mommy something fierce—and THAT we can’t ignore.

Of course, Neerie has also left a recently disgruntled ex, a loser baby-daddy, and a long line of horribly mistreated people in her wake.

Read: the suspect list is sizeable. Any one of a dozen people have reason to want to un-alive the crazy fairy, up to and including the school janitor.

Oh…and have we mentioned Neerie’s absolutely obsessed with conspiracy theories? And the human groups devoted to them?

Yep. The suspect pool just got a whole lot bigger.

Diving headlong into Neerie’s crazy world of nutball conspiracies, Nina, Marty and I thought we’d seen every form of weird during our various Accidental adventures.

We were SO wrong…

Review:

Be A Detective, They Said. It’ll Be Fun, They Said the third book in The Accidental Detectives series is from Wanda Jefferson’s POV. Wanda’s children Olivia, Sam, and Heath, her husband, have more of a presence in this book.

The OOPs ladies are improving their investigative skills and using outside sources wisely. Their investigation leads them to several wild conspiracy theories. Book three takes on a couple plot twists I was not expecting making for a fun read.

The third book in The Accidental Detectives has great characters and framily make coming back to this world extremely enjoyable. The story has as much action as the previous books and was engaging. As a reader, I’m interested to see if those plot twists will end up in future books.
