Indigo Footsteps, Spatters of Red by J. Fally (4.5 Stars)

This action-packed thriller takes place after zampies, a combination of vampires and zombies, start to infect the world. Josh and Carter are slayers, highly trained by the military, who spend their time trying to destroy the zampies. They are deeply in love with each other, and wouldn’t think twice about saving one another’s lives. I enjoyed watching them spend time at their home in sweet bliss before going off on assignment. The action kicked into high gear and had me on the edge of my seat as they tried to kill a large group of zampies hiding at the Alamo.

Cherry Pie (Mercury Rising #1) by Samantha Kane (4.5 Stars)

John and Connor were both troubled by their pasts and trying to find their way forward. I thought they were well-developed characters with realistic issues. The way they communicated with each other was the highlight of the story for me. I also enjoyed the interactions with their friends and neighbors in this small town.

The Last Thing He Needs by J.H. Knight (4.5 Stars)

I really liked Tommy and thought his voice was perfect for carrying this story. It would have been easy and understandable for him to be pessimistic and depressed, but he managed to make the best out of his situation. I adored his family, but it was almost devastating to read about their living conditions. I thought Bobby was also a great character who truly cared for Tommy and Tommy’s family.  More dialogue between Tommy and Bobby would have strengthened the romance angle for me.

Double Up (Lake Lovelace #1) by Vanessa North (4.5 Stars)

A very enjoyable romance with physical and emotional recovery issues serving as a backdrop. The story was told from Ben’s POV, and I really liked his character. I could definitely empathize with his back pain and the medical decisions that he had to make. I thought he and Dave made a really cute older couple. The constant use of italicized thoughts was a bit distracting. I would have loved little video clips to go along with some of the wakeboarding contests. The author made them sound very exciting.
