     This book really kept me going.  I did not want to stop, but instead at the end of each chapter found myself continuing on.  I cannot imagine what it would be like to think I was safe and then find out otherwise or to be the ones trying to get it all under control.  The agents have to work together and with one of the witnesses to try to find the hacker and get the information back under wraps.  I am anticipating to see what happens next in this series.

     I have really enjoyed reading about the lost princesses.  Emmeline had lived as one of the lost princesses and had tried to keep a low profile and not get discovered.  When she realizes it soon might be possible,she tries to do what she can to prevent it.  Unfortunately she is captured and forced to marry the prince.  She continues to do all she can to get away, but the prince wants to take his marriage seriously and tries to make it work.  All of this is also taking place as an actual battle is going on around them.

     I really enjoyed reading this set of books.  Each one was easy to read and by having four it kept the story going and allowed me to read at my own pace.  The stories take place in Tanner Hollow and several of the characters are in more than one story.  This was nice in that it let you keep up with the characters and see what happened next.  Each story was one that kept you guessing on how each one would turn out.  They really made you want to finish each one in one reading.      I received this book from the publisher, the review is entirely my own.

   I love seeing what Caitlyn has gotten up to next. She is trying to work on her powers, but things do not always go as planned (love the green hair).  She also had too much to worry about such as where things are going with James, that spell is over her cousin, Pomona, and trying to undo a spell by her younger cousin Evie cast accidently.  Adding to her troubles is a witch hunter, a murder, and trying to figure what is going on with her cat Nibs.  Can't wait to see what she gets herself into next.      I received a copy of the book to read, the review is my own.

     I love the concept of granting a wish for someone else, and have no idea what I would do.  I liked how Sara decided to get someone to help her in coming up with what to do.  It was great when it all came together and the "wish" was fulfilled.  This is  a neat concept and I really enjoyed this quick read and learning about Snowflake, Colorado.

      I enjoyed reading this second book in the Lost Princesses series.  Lady Maribel thinks she has everything figured out and knows what she wants to do, when her world gets turned upside down.  She finds herself fleeing when she becomes the target of King Ethelwulf's army as it is discovered she is one of the lost princesses.      She leaves with Edmund who know all about the King and is in love with her.       I enjoyed seeing how they dealt with what was thrown to at them and with their feelings towards each other.      I received a copy of the book to read, the review is my own.

    I really enjoyed reading this story of Lady Adelaide and her journey to becoming queen.  As it becomes known who she really is, it is up to Christopher to protect her from those who do not want her to gain her rightful title.       I liked the action and interaction between the characters and how Lady Adelaide was able to step up for what she wasn't sure of becoming.

    I have really enjoyed getting to know the characters of this series.  I love the way that they work together.  Linc and Allison have to work together to keep her alive.  They each have to get past some differences as they learn to work together.  This book will keep you guessing and trying to decide what will happen next.  A great read.      I received a copy from the publisher, the review is mine.

     Lance and Felicia both must work at overcoming great odds to save the princesses.  I loved seeing how they had to work together and the obstacles  that they had to face and things things that they had to do for the good of the princesses.  I can't imagine having to do what they did with small children as well.  A great page turner and great for all ages.      I received a copy of the book to read, the review is my own.

    I really enjoyed seeing how Kara and Jeff learned to work together for the task they were given.  They had to go undercover for their jobs at the DEA and it it nothing like they expect.       I also liked the faith part of the book.  Kara not only had to rely on her partner, but on God as well to keep her safe and to see the operation through to its end.       This was a very enjoyable book and I look forward to more in this series.

      I really enjoy this series about Lara and her aunt and the shelter they run.  I love the interactions with the cats and how they work at finding good homes for them.  They are trying to expand the program with a reading room, but unfortunately the health inspector wants to shut them down, which leads to more trouble when she is found dead.  It is up to Lara to find out what really happened so that they can keep things moving along.     I think that a shelter like Lara and her aunt run would be a great place to find a cat.  You would be able to see them as the really are and the reading program the want to implement is a great way to get reluctant readers to read.

    I loved reading about Joelle and how she did what was needed to keep her family going.  She was willing to take chances for what she believed in and worked with who she had to so that she could get things done.       I found it interesting to see how she learned to work with Schuyler even though she did not want to.  I think I really enjoyed this book as I could related to some of the places mentioned and it seemed like you could really see what was going on.      I received a copy of the book from the author, the review is my own.

     I really enjoyed the next book in the Protectors of the Spear.  Christina is doing her best to have the life she wants, but instead is trying to stay safe from those who want to do her harm.  Jarin has set out to find Christina and protect her.  As they go on their journey they have to rely on faith and who to trust.  They also have to protect the Spear and rely on it to protect them as well.      I liked this story of adventure and seeing how the learned who and what to rely on as they were on their journey.      I received a copy of the book from the author, the review is my own.

     Poppy has found herself in another adventure.  She is making a go at her nursery and keeping her animal friends entertained.  She is working at creating a park for a pampered pooch and finds herself caught up in another murder.       I really enjoy seeing what Poppy finds herself up to and love the antics of Oren and how he works at getting to his way.

 I could not go through what Mercy did.  She gave up everything and still kept her sweet helpful nature.  She had people looking down on her just because of where she was born, but did not let that stop her.  She was able to find the best in her circumstances and I loved how it all turned out.      Mercy finds herself on a bride ship as she is trying to get out of a bad situation.  While on the voyage over, she finds herself helping others, a carry over from her previous life.  She was able to make the long voyage from London to British Columbia more bearable for many on the ship.       I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one in the series.

      Cassidy has taken over as police chief and is hoping that things will settle down. She just wants to concentrate on her new life and just concentrate on the minor things, unfortunately that is not going to happen.       I have enjoyed getting to see Cassidy in this new series after getting introduced to her earlier.  We get to see her still keeping things under control in Lantern Beach, but also getting to be herself.

     I enjoyed getting to know Poppy better and seeing how she is fairing with her new business.  She still has a lot to learn and soon takes on her first job.  Unfortunately she runs into another mystery as someone is murdered practically in front of her and she finds herself trying to figure out what happened.       I enjoy the new characters and always love a cat in a book.  A great read.  I received a copy from the author, the review is mine.

     Eleanor has a big task ahead of her.  She has been working with her father and uncle evaluating artifacts and working with family collections to decide what to sell, keep, or donate.  When her father dies and her uncle can no longer carry out the daily activities of the business, Eleanor has to do what she can in an era when she cannot do the job alone.       Eleanor has to work at making the best decisions to keep her family business running.  She has to make the best decisions for the clients as well as her family and deciding what to do with a long time client's collection may be a make or break decision.  I felt for her as she had to decide what was best all around.      I received a copy of the book to review, the review is my own.

     A suspenseful read where Kendall is determined to do her job no matter what the consequences.  She is willing to try everything to find the kidnappers even if it means teaming up with Cord.  A great mystery that will have you guessing and hoping you are right.      I received a copy of the book from the author, the review is my own.
