Lake Silence by Anne Bishop (The World of the Other’s – Book 1)

❤❤❤❤💚

Book 1 begins the “World of The Others” series and finds the reader no longer in the Lakeside Courtyard but rather in one of the new settlements called Lake Silence.  We are introduced to “human” Vicki DeVine and her shapeshifter friend Aggie Crowe.   When there is not “law” in this new area and a dead body is found on the property, Vicki because the scapegoat leaving her and “The Others” to get to the bottom of the story. 
This book has been designed to take the reader to another area and situation in the author’s fantasy land.  While the plot and storyline are engaging and enjoyable, I had trouble connecting like I did in the previous 5 books.  This book could probably easily be a standalone and is the launching point for this new series.  

Completed August 5, 2019

Written in Red by Anne Bishop (The Others – Book 1)

❤❤❤❤❤ In Book 1, Anne Bishop introduces us to the fantasy world of “The Others”.   This is a world where the supernatural creatures who have the ability to shape shift to human form control the world and allow the “humans” to co-exist is portions.   We meet Meg Corbyn, the Cassandra sangue (blood prophet) who arrives in the Lakeside Courtyard after escaping where she and many of her kind have been held against their will to provide visions for money.   Without spoiling the story, she is found and ultimately employed by Wolf Shape-Shifter Simon Wolfgard, beginning changes that will have unexpected changes to both the human population and the Others.   This book grabs the reader early on and keeps you coming back for more.   The author has an uncanny ability for her descriptions to come alive from the pages of the book and transport you to this fantasy world.   I am looking forward to reading the next books in this series.

After the Rain by Mary J. Williams

❤❤💚💚💚  After the Rain is the first book in the One Pass Away series by Mary Williams.     The author creates a heart tugging story line of bad boy turned NFL player who finds himself without a dream after a career ending injury.   Enter a trainer named Claire who has one focus alone, getting Logan Price well enough to play in the NFL again.   Nothing will detract her from her goal and plans…..or will it. I expected the storyline have more depth and struggled with the graphic nature of the sex scenes but that is just my personal tastes.   This book may not be for everyone if you are looking for a romance that builds slowly over time.   Yet it may be exactly what some readers are looking for.    I personally will probably take a pass on the other books in the series.

Lake Season by Denise Hunter

❤❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ I received a complimentary copy of this book.   Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.   Lake Season is Book 1 in Denise Hunter’s newest Bluebell Inn Romance series.   It all starts with a letter from the past and ends with the promise of love letters in the future.   This book was so riveting I literally read it in a single day, I couldn’t put it down.    For any reader who loves reading romantic fiction what could be better than a story about a bestselling author who is the main character.   I absolutely loved how the storyline developed and all of the references to some of the best known authors.     When a romance author can be compared to works by greats like Nickolas Sparks you know that the mark has been hit. I truly enjoyed the message and situations that the author walked the reader through.   You are taken from innocuous things like opinions on writer’s block to damaged self-esteem. It e...
