Story
It’s the flight before Christmas and Molly just got an unexpected gift: a free first-class upgrade on her plane trip home for the holidays. Bring on the complimentary cocktails! But after one too many, she spills all her secrets to the hot guy seated next to her—only to wake up mortified when her buzz has worn off. At least she never has to see Liam again ... or so she thinks. When Molly arrives at Christmas House, the festive rental home that she and her family are sharing with her sister’s fiancé and his wealthy family, she discovers that Liam is one of the new in-laws. Oops.

Story
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

So many little moments of absolute delights, some scary, some gasps, lots of great world building.
Great cast of characters, fabulous imagery. A really well written story taking us on a massive journey and keeping us guessing all the way.
Got to say some of my favourite lead characters. Now I need more.

Story
Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

Fun and yet fascinating
Reviewed: 03-11-24
This was an included with audible title, had some good reviews so what’s not to like? Except it’s way better than that. It’s really good. The narrator was great, really got the delivery spot on (although voice for little brother wasn’t the best) but the others were fabulous.
I loved understanding the background of the characters, with zero lecturing, just lived experience. Lots of humour, lots of pathos, and the main character is a charm. Although, sheesh, talk about under appreciated! But the whole story was enjoyable and memorable. I’ll definitely be reading more from the author.

Casteel Da’Neer knows all too well that very few are as cunning or vicious as the Blood Queen, but no one, not even him, could’ve prepared for the staggering revelations. The magnitude of what the Blood Queen has done is almost unthinkable.

The most irritating male voice
Reviewed: 27-10-24
I listened because I needed to know what happened, but the male narrator sounded constipated. His female voices were uncomfortable at best. I never wanted him to be British, because the accents are never great but omg it was super distracting.
Won’t actually be getting the next book as this one needed serious editing. There were some great moments and revelations but some parts dragged on. I almost wanted the cliffs notes. I may look up what happens as I’d like to know the conclusion. Favourite character: Riva

Story
I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae. But of course, there’s a catch - all I have to do to claim my birthright is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true, as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could.

Seriously ready to burn the academy to the ground. Don’t know whether to read the next to get some answers or just let it go as I hate so many of the characters. The twins though, I like them. They have attitude and spirit.

Story
After her divorce, Charlene Dugan vowed never to get married again - a promise she has kept for twenty-five years. Until the fateful day she finds herself uttering the well-known phrase - "Let's get married!" Almost immediately, Charlene's seemingly perfect life begins unraveling at the seams. Daughter Stephanie's own relationship is about to disintegrate, and she might be just a teensy-weensy bit jealous of her mom. And Charlene seems to be spending more time with her ex-husband than with her fiancé, Dennis.

Reviewed: 21-08-24
Enjoyed all the characters even when they weren’t doing exactly what we expected- but had to laugh at Agatha who I’m pretty sure arrived from 1930s England (what was THAT all about?!) with her speech patterns, old time phrases and Julie Andrews (via The Sound of Music) behaviour. I did cringe quite a bit at that but still enjoyed it overall.

Story
The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was.

Just reread this
Reviewed: 30-07-24
Firstly, I adore the narrators. They work so well together, really bring a story to life and feel genuine. Great voices, great emotion.
Then bring in a story which has fun, flirty moments and they’re perfect. But they also have the sadness, bumps and emotions covered too.
This story has all of those things, but the lead roles in this are people I’d like to know, the side characters have depth and the whole thing makes for a memorable and heartwarming story.

Some things are easily forgiven. Other things...not so much. Lenny DeMaio made herself a promise: She was done. Done thinking about him. Done worrying about him. Done reaching out to a man who clearly didn’t want to be found. Too bad no one gave Jonah Collins the memo.

Great story with great narration
Reviewed: 24-06-24
Mariana Zapata is so good at dialogue, relationships and humour while telling a great story with a few twists and turns. Callie Dalton is made to read Mariana’s characters. It’s a perfect combination. I adored both Lenny and Jonah, Grandpa Gus - all the supporting cast are really well rounded and loveable. It’s a lovely book, satisfying in so many ways. I think it’s my 3rd or 4th reread so about time I left a review!

Story
Luna Allen has done some things she would rather no one ever know about. She also knows that, if she could go back in time, she wouldn’t change a single thing. With three sisters she loves, a job she (mostly) adores, and a family built up of friends she’s made over the years, Luna figures everything has worked out the way it was supposed to. But when one of those secrets involves the man who signs her paycheck, she can’t find it in her to regret it. Despite the fact that he’s not the friendliest man in the world. Or the most patient.

Reviewed: 16-06-24
I love the combination of Callie Dalton and Mariana Zapata… add in Gomez Pugh for Rip and it’s amazing.
It’s a beautiful slow burn, although I don’t have Luna’s past, I could relate to her repeating mantras to keep herself from slipping into sad memories. She’s a force of nature in the gentlest and sincerest way.
I relisten to MZ’s book frequently, her dialogue is natural, her writing flows and it’s easy to get lost in her world. Off to relisten to another now. Bliss.

As one of the newest members of Walker Security, Lucifer lives up to his name. He's a man with demons that run deep and dark. A man with secrets. A man betrayed by a woman, and that betrayal has shaped every part of his life moving forward. He lives on the edge with fast cars, faster woman, and some might say a death wish. That is until he crossed paths with Walker Security and one of their own pulled him from the bowels of his self-created hell. But his own personal devil is about to show herself again. That woman from his past is back, and nothing is as it seems.

Hate it when a book stops abruptly to make you buy the next. I’d have bought this if it hadn’t ended virtually mid-sentence. Grrrrr. It’s a good start, good characters but I won’t be held to ransom, much like the characters!
