Thank you @rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Abracadabra is a paranormal genre, which is perfect for these dark nights. I absolutely adore the front cover with the black cat and the lady. I was drawn to it instantly. This book is filled with magic and mystery from start to finish. The characters are Rachel, Juliette, and Sylvia, and they are all related, and they all have a gift, and there are also curses that lurk around the corner. I was enthralled by the story and enjoyed following their story. I liked all three characters and felt like I got to know them all well. The story is engaging and easy to get into. I loved the twists and turns that entered the story; I didn’t see them coming. Entertaining read, 4 stars.

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Twin Sister is a psychological thriller genre, and wow, what a book. It took me two days to read this book. It kept me on my toes all the way through. There are three narratives in the story, and it was fascinating hearing from all three. The first narrative is about Beth, whose life is falling apart, and she goes and stays with her twin sister for the weekend, which changes her life. I am not going to mention the other two narratives because it took me by surprise who they were, which was great, and I want the same reaction for you guys. The Twin Sister is a gripping and thrilling read that you will not be able to put down. There are some great twists and turns that I did not see coming at all. The Twin Sister is at a good pace and is easy to get into. A brilliant read. If you love psychological books, this is definitely for you. Will be reading more from Yvette Davis in the future. 5 stars. Bio...

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Nightborn is a fantasy/paranormal genre. The story is about Alice, who is a professor of psychology, and all of a sudden she starts sharing dreams with other people. I was fascinated with this book, especially about the theme, which is dreams and the psychology behind them, and I find Nightborn intriguing anyway because it’s a great read. I loved finding out more about dreams through the story that I didn’t know. I came away with more knowledge. Nightborn is a delight to read, and the story flows very well all through the book. . I did feel like I was on a roller coaster while reading this book. Which is always good. I like Alice as a character and was drawn to her from the get-go and find her character interesting. It was lovely to read something different and a topic I'm interested in. Thrilling read. 4 stars. Bio Theresa Cheung is a modern mystic and Sunday Times bestselling dreams, spiritu...

Thank you @hyggebooktours @hb_publishing_ @writes_ nadine For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Remember for you is for. Children aged 4-10 years. I really like the front cover; it’s beautiful and heartwarming to look at and brings a glow to my heart. The story is about a granddad who keeps forgetting things and the granddaughter who worries he will eventually forget her. Remember for You is beautifully written and is an important book for children to read to understand and to help them if someone in their family has dementia or Alzheimer’s. The book did make me cry and was a gorgeous and heartfelt read. The illustrations are beautiful, and I feel young children will understand the book because it’s easy to read and not too heavy. From reading this, it made me think of my grandma, who suffered from dementia when I was young, and there was nothing like this book when I was younger, and I wish there was. 5 stars.

Thank you @hyggebooktours @yasikak For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Missing corpse is book 2 in the series and is a crime thriller. The story is set in Africa and is about Shawn, who is an agent that is on a mission with two other people to retrieve the president body. The Missing Corpse is an intriguing and interesting read. The plot was good and kept me entertained until the end. The story is very well written, and I found out bits about Africa I didn’t know, which were fascinating.

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Swish is a young adult fantasy genre. The front cover is mysterious, and I do like that because from looking at it, it gives me good vibes, and I don’t know what to expect with the book. Which I like. The story is about Abigail, who has not had a great life so far until she meets Mike. The story was easy to get into and very fast-paced, which I enjoyed. I did like Abigail and connected with her from the start, and I did feel for her due to what she has been through in her life. I was hooked and gripped by the story straightaway and found it very difficult to put down because I was engrossed in the book. Fantastic read. Loved the plot.5 stars.

Thank you @Rookscroft @LoveBooksTours For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Into the Wild Woods is book 3 in the series and is just as good as the other two books. We are back with Jane, Quentin, and Robin, and they go on a new adventure. I love the illustrations; they are so beautiful, and they make the characters come to life more. The story is engaging and encapsulating from the start until the end. I was definitely on the edge of my seat while reading this book due to not being sure what would happen to them all on their new adventure. This is a gorgeous series, and it was lovely to meet some new characters and fall in love with them as well as the old characters.

Thank you @NineElmsBooks @LoveBooksTours For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Lobbyist is a political thriller genre, and if you love politics and thrillers, this book is definitely for you. The Lobbyist is a fast-paced read that you will be able to keep up with, and it’s thrilling from the start until the end. When I started the book, I thought it was thrilling, but I struggled a bit with the politics side because it’s not a topic that interests me, but once I got past that and engaged more with the plot and the character Beaufort, I did enjoy the book. I did enjoy the twists and turns in the book and didn’t have a clue they were going to happen. I do like books that make you guess and surprise you. The Lobbyist absolutely did that for me. Fascinating and interesting read: 4 stars!

Thank you @rararesources for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover with the sheep he is very cute. Approval of the sheep is a literal fiction. I like the characters especially Gordon and his sheep they were very interesting and fascinating to follow throughout the book. I struggled at the beginning to get into the book but as I carried on reading, I got into it I'm really enjoyed the story. This is a heartwarming read that will make you laughing places. If you love sheep this book is for you so feel good read.

Thank you @Chris.Kauzlarich @Phantom.Quill.Press @LoveBooksTours #Ad #LBTCrew #Bookstagram #FreeReview #FreeBookReview #ReadAlong For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Menagerie in the Dark is a collection of short stories that are written exceedingly well. Each story is unique and different from each other. I love that there is a lot of descriptive writing in the book, and I can visualize it in my head, which makes the reading experience even better. The stories are dark and a bit creepy, but I loved that. Menagerie in the Dark is a brilliant read for these dark nights.

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Futility is a horror genre. I greatly enjoy the front cover; it looks gruesome and scary. The title works well too. The story is about two women who have been betrayed and seek vengeance. The story is very different from what I normally read, and it is great for these winter months. I found Futility an interesting and engaging read, and the characters Clare and Chia were very intriguing and a bit weird, but I did like them. The story was written clearly and did make me giggle in place. I did like the body swapping and murder; it worked brilliantly. It did entertain me to the end. 4 stars. blurb Crackling with wit, this is a monstrous, gleeful, bitingly funny tale of murder, body-swapping and bloody vengeance from the recipient of the Bram Stoker Award ® for Lifetime Achievement and 'Queen of African Horror'.

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Suddenly Mine is book 3 in the series, and you can read it as a standalone, as I did. This is perfect to read leading up to Christmas. The Narratives are about Merry, who works at the Carroll store and is feeling lost at present, and then she meets Christian, whose dad owns the Carroll store and has been asked to come back to sort it out. This is a heartwarming and festive read. Suddenly mine is a breathtaking read that you will get lost in I like the characters, and I love the chemistry between both of them; it was lovely to follow their story. It's a bit steamy in places, which is always great. I wanted to read this book rapidly to see how it would end, and I enjoyed it immensely.

Thank you @rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The front cover of A New Life in Amsterdam is vibrant and fresh and looks like an exciting place to be. I wish I was the lady in the picture. This is a romance genre, which is about Sandy, whose daughter grew up, and she has a shopping habit and decides to find a new life. A New Life in Amsterdam is an uplifting and heartwarming read about second chances. The book holds your attention from the first word to the end. I did like Sandy and the other characters; they all seem like lovely people, and I did feel for Sandy at times because of the problems she had in her life and loved her impulsiveness in buying a canal boat in Amsterdam. Very brave. A lovely story that is written clearly and is engaging. 5 stars. Blurb Could down-sizing her life mean up-sizing her dreams?

Thank you @RenoRMist @LoveBooksTours For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this audiobook. One More Chance is book 1 in the series. The audio is 11 hours and 8 minutes, and the narrator is Johnathan Waters. I did enjoy listening to his voice; he was engaging, and his voice worked well with the story. The story is about Levi, who has died in a car crash and has been given one more chance. The start of the story was engaging and kept my attention from the get-go until the end. I was not sure if I liked Levi or not just because of the way he comes across, but I did start to like him as the story unfolded, but I did like Sloane from the start. This is a unique story that was a fascinating and thought-provoking read. The story was written elegantly, and it was nice to read about second chances. It would be great if we could do that for real. Entertaining read, 5 stars. Blurb LOVE IS A DAGGER. After dying in a devastating car crash, Levi wakes up twelve years in the past...

Thank you @Rookscroft @LoveBooksTours For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Circus of the Crescent Moon is book 2 in the series, and you can read it as a standalone if you haven't read book 1. I have read both and absolutely loved them as much as the 1st book. The Circus of the Crescent Moon is longer than Book 1, which is great. I love the illustrations that flow through the book; they go well with the story. I love that there are some old characters in the book from book 1, and there are a lot more new characters. Book 2 is an entirely different story from Book 1. The story is engaging from start to finish. I absolutely adore the friendship between Jane and all the animals; it’s lovely. The writing is beautifully written and is a heartwarming read. I feel anyone of any age have will adore these books; they are a breath of fresh air. Strongly recommend. 5 stars.

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Before I Say I Love You is book 2 in the series, and you can read it as a standalone, as I did. This is a romance genre which has a beautiful front cover. The story is about Maddie, who has lost her brother and is attempting to move on, and then she meets James. I love the descriptions in the book; I can really visualize what’s happening in the story. I found this book to tug at my heart and genuinely felt for Maddie and her family with their grief. Furthermore, I also felt it was a heartwarming read and loved the chemistry between Maddie and James. Not only that, but I did feel I was on the edge of my seat at times reading this book. The story is easy to get into, and I was hooked from start to finish and will definitely go and read book 1. The story is written beautifully and is an engaging read. 5 stars.
