Since then, we've had the pleasure of watching her craft grow, and been part of several releases. And this one, is one that we are even more excited for! This is a full length novel from Alora, and having had the pleasure of reading the prologue, I just know it's going to be amazing!

So without further ado, the cover reveal for "Forever My Home" by Alora Kate

“Now, this is going to be hard for you … but you have to leave.”
Adalyn is on the run.
From who? She doesn’t know.

From what? She doesn’t know.
“You have to trust us Adalyn,” my dad stressed.
That’s exactly what she plans on doing.
For the first time in her life, she’s on her own, and has no idea what to do.

Rudd Archer has lived in the same small town for most of his life.

He’s always wanted a family, a house full of kids.
Unfortunately, Rudd is a loner and keeps to himself.

What will happen when Adalyn comes stumbling into his life, renting out the apartment above his house. Is it just a coincidence, or will she be ‘the one’ for him? Will she open herself up to strangers, or will her past get in the way of her own happiness?

This is the first book in the Aster Lake Series, told from dual POV’s.

About The Author:
"I hear voices in my head and I love that it’s totally okay." - Alora Kate

Alora Kate – Pen Name

There are many reasons why she chooses to use a Pen Name. She battled with the idea but in the end, it’s a dedication. Alora Kate is a dedication to someone special who left this world way too soon.

She doesn’t write to get rich, or famous. She does it because she loves it. If only ten people bought her book and loved it, then it was worth her time to write it. She loves to share her crazy world and characters with you.

She is a single mom of a very active 3yrs old. He is her whole world, and life wasn’t complete until he came along. She is also a full-time college student studying photography and graphic design.

Chasing Winter by Alora Kate


RATING: 5 STARS

This story. Man, this story gutted me. This has got to be one of the most heartfelt portions to these novellas. I loved the whole series, but this one left me in such a good place.

Winter's story. Winter's battle, Chase's battle. Chase is head over heels for Winter. Winter has chosen to turn a blind eye to anyone's advances. She is comfortable in her life, alone. Until Chase finds her one night sitting in the hallway of their building, a complete wreck. Together, they share, they learn and experience. Together, they can fight anything. Right?

I cannot say enough for this series as a whole. It touches on a lot of different 'taboo' topics in society. And it's done in a mature and responsible manner. Chasing Winter was no different. I encourage you to pick up this series as a whole and dive right in! All 5 parts can be read in a day, easily. Making for one sassy beach read.

Absolute Love by Erin Everleigh


RATING: 4 STARS

How do you handle not knowing where you come from? How do you handle it in the process of losing everything else in your life, and watching the strength you once had crumble around you? In this book, we read exactly how Phoebe handles life and the lemons she’s given, with a little sugar.

I am in ‘absolute love' with this book. Erin Everleigh's debut novel is superbly written, driving you to the end. The characters are so easy to love, mature, intense and as well developed as the story line.

If you love a classic love story, a story that tugs on your heart strings and has you rooting for that HEA, do yourself a favour and go one-click this one! I am eager to read more from Erin in the future!

Power of the Fae (The Mirrored Prophecy #1) by Ariel Marie

                                                                         Amazon US
                                                                 RATING: 4 STARS

Arlina Waldmar is the Princess of the Light Fae, trusted Guardian of the Fae and part Human, When a group of disappearances occurs in the human realm her father sends her to stay with her maternal grandmother; a very powerful witch to investigate. Enter Colin McKenzie all Werewolf, all Alpha. The leader of the Legion, Colin swears off relationships. His position as leader of the Legion would make that too hard. So when he meets Arlina, the two are forced to work together to figure out what is happening his immediate and super strong attraction for her really puts him off. Only Colin's wolf sees his mate in Arlina and the pull is strong. Mix that with a prophecy they discover is about Arlina foretelling her first born to either save or end the world. With Colin refusing to ever mate things are difficult. Leaving us to find out if Arlina can convince Colin they were meant for each other or if evil will triumph and destroy the world.

I really enjoyed this first book in The Mirrored Prophecy series. Arlina is a kick butt heroine and it's always nice to come across a strong female character like her. Colin is your swoon-worthy Alpha male who refuses to fall in love. Silly Alpha. It had consistent action and a really good story line throughout the whole thing. I do believe it is the only book published so far in the series so we are left with a unfinished story, rather than a cliff hanger that makes you want to scream. I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series and recommend it to all the paranormal lovers out there.

Five Secrets by J. David Core


RATING: 4 STARS

This is the fifth book in the Lupa Schwartz mystery series, which can be read as standalones. This particular one surrounds Cattleya as she's recovering from an accident that was basely caused by some disturbing secret societal issues. Cattleya got too close to one of the Five Seekers that are looking for the truth of the world's power and money. The Seekers get close to the truth which leads them on a search for more information, searching for clues amongst history, within maps, diagrams and conspiracy theories, all the while, Cattleya is acting as a double agent.

Core has built a secret society that is believable, a story that drove my need to keep moving forward, to find the truth, trying desperately to link all this information in my head. And of course, Lupa Schwartz is the detective on the outside trying to get as much information as he can to bring everything to its righteous end.

This was a good book. I wasn't able to put it down until I had gotten to the end in the wee hours of the morning. If you like some suspense with a good dose of conspiracy, pick this one up.

Our Moon by Jennifer L. Allen


RATING: 4 STARS

I love rock stars, and I love sweet love stories. When I had the chance to read a book that combined the two without the super-smut story along with it? I had to read it. And I am so glad that I did.

This book is written in multiple POVs, which provide an intriguing and engaging read as we watch Ally suffer from amnesia, and recover from the accident that brought this on. She is guided by her brothers, Alex and Trevor, and the relationships between the three were spot-on and very realistic. It isn't long before Ally starts to feel herself pulled toward a band mate of her brothers'- Chase. What can we say as hopeless romantics? Sometimes the soul just knows, even if your head can't remember why.

I strongly recommend picking up this book. It lured me in, kept me going and the feelngs I had while I read were just perfect. Jennifer L. Allen has provided an amazing read that is fit for any age, and I will probably tell my Mom she needs to read it. Now.

Gods of Anthem by Logan Keys


RATING: 5 STARS


Where does one start with this review, honestly? Logan Keys gave us a YA dystopian/post-apocalyptic novel that was unlike anything I've ever read. Literally within seconds of finishing, I had to e-mail Logan and said "Holy hell in a hand basket. that was AMAZING!" If I could rate it 6 stars, I would. It left me with a deep book hangover, completely unable to read for a few days afterward.

Logan has expertly woven numerous elements into one grisly, heart-wrenching story. Romance, mythical beings, an island for the sick and a shady government provided us a plot with so many twists and turns there was no way to guess what would be coming next.

This story is given to us from two points of view, one is Liza, and the other is Tommy. Liza was a patient on the island for the sick and dying. Tommy is being used as a secret weapon for the government. There are so many secondary characters that we come across, some making their mark on my soul, while others, I'm still questioning. But Tommy and Liza, working on opposite sides merge together in a unique way in the last few chapters, that left me begging for more, needing the next book NOW.
