Dark Prayers by Natasha Mostert




Dark Prayers

Rating and Recommendation

Rating: 4 teacups

Recommendation: Yes

Book Club Worthy: Yes, especially Sci-Fi, Paranormal and even Mystery fans

Review

Will Eloise choose Jenilee or Jack before she is murdered?

I actually loved the twists and turns in this plot. That being said the reason it received only a 4 instead of 5, is the first few chapters, to all appearances, were incongruent. One later realizes this knowledge was necessary to the plot, however, I wish it could have been introduced a little less bumpy. The rest of the book flowed easily along and swept me along to where I could not put it down. I needed to know what happened next, not want, I needed.  Mostert kept her cards close all the way to the end of the book. The answer to the above question posed as teaser is all the way in the epilogue, and no, I do not give spoilers, please find the answer in the book.

Although I did not think a couple of the beginning chapters flowed together, they stilled were quite a joy to read. They just gave the impression of puzzle pieces from the wrong puzzle, but it turns out that you do need them for this outstanding Paranormal, Sci Fi, and Mystery work. So if you are into Paranormal, Sci Fi, or Mystery you will like this novel. If you like all three, you are going to love Mostert for this great journey she takes you on. Enjoy the ride, I know I did.

Seven to Die by T. G. Roberts

Rating and Recommendation



Rating: 4 ½ teacups

Book Club Worthy: No






Will Lex Save the Day?

Roberts sets the stage for the fantastic start to a great series or a terrific stand alone with this novel. I love the characters as there is no room but to like or not like them. It is great old school Sci Fi with a marvelous plot and good old girl power to the rescue. I love that Lex has a human side kick that always ends up on the scene.  If you want your Sci Fi with a little feel of old school comics, this is right up your alley. Only drawback was that it started a little slow in the beginning. After the first few chapters I could not put the book down. I would definitely recommend this book to the Sci Fi and Fantasy crowd. I wish I could give this book the 4 ½ that it truly deserves.

Bewitching the Enemy by Dawn Chartier

Rating and Recommendation

Rating: 4 ½ teacups

Recommendation: Yes

Book Club Worthy: Yes for Sci Fi Paranormal, Romance


Review


Love thy enemy!

This is a fantastic beginning to what I hope will be a phenomenal series following the remaining Morgeaux sisters. The main characters sweep you into the story right away. The sisters are adorable, even with their personality quirks, especially Storm, as they struggle with secrets kept from them their entire lives. Nathan the super-hot hero fights himself, fate, and his could be fatal attraction to Storm. Chartier even includes some super steamy, toe curling, and romantic sex for us.

While the sisters try to learn these secrets to save the lives of their mother and themselves, Storm engages in her own private battle with Nathan. Drawn into more and more secrets and mysteries yet to unveil, this novel is a page turner I could not put down. Sci Fi Paranormal types if you like yours with some hot romance thrown into the mix, then come and get it!
