 Rise of the Phoenix by T. Isajanyan is filled with beautiful description of the bronze age. The story is epic, a little slow at times, but builds a great world. There is a nice balance of the seers predictions, fate, and still some unexpected surprises for the reader. The epic heroic tale stars Hayisi, Arme, and Hayadusta. Working the plot down to the final plot and fate of Arme and Hayadusta works well. Rise of the Phoenix is written moderately formal, which is fitting of the style and period. This helps bring you into the novel and give you a better feel of the time period. More character development would be nice as at times their development feels more superficial. Long blocks of narration do well at explaining the world, but slows she book down at times. We at NeoLeaf Press give this book our Silver Recommendation and rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

 Murder creek starts with an unsolved disappearance. Toss in one journalism student, and you get an totally unexpected ending. Murder Creek is a slow novel, working towards building up to one final reveal. It follows a journalism student working on her final project who decided to focus on Murder Creek and a cold case surrounding one women. The author, Jane Suen, uses short chapters which helps build tension, move the story along, and makes for a nice read when you need to be able to put the book down often.

The book centers around Charlotte, who, after falling from a boat handcuffed, has lost part of her memory. The desperate run from the police while being kept in the dark about her past builds suspense at the beginning. After she is told she is a murderer you bounce back and forth between wondering if she is really the good guy or the bad guy. The plot thickens when we find out she was given false information and it becomes a race between who will get to her first, the good guys or the bad guys. The author warns the there are many British and Irish slang in the novel. That being said there are still some grammatical errors that need cleaned up. Overall the book was a great read. Very action packed We at NeoLeaf Press give this book our Silver Recommendation and rate it 4 out of 5 stars.  To purchase this novel you can go HERE
 Opera would be proud of you! This book holds a lot of good information for us up at the last-minute people. Five Morning Routines of Highly Successful People (FIVE) touches on health benefits, meditation, and planning. It’s an easy and fast read. The author touches on the routines of famous people such as Opera, Obama, and Will Smith, and how their daily routines help them through the chaos of their daily lives. FIVE also is not too technical and keeps it at an easy level anyone can understand. We at NeoLeaf Press give this book our Silver Recommendation and rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

 Lost Girl Of Neverland is a very hot erotic reverse harem story with steamy explicit sex scenes. JB Trepagnier wove together an interesting concept of children suddenly growing up and dealing with increased hormones and sexual urges. The heat of this story was done well, but the character voices at times seemed forced. It took a while to get over the fact these were adults with a child’s mind having sex for the first time. This story would have benefited if the author put the same level of detail from the sex scenes into the rest of the story, especially the setting. Bringing in a little Arthurian lore with Queen Mab was an interesting concept. I would have liked to see more character development outside of the sexual development. This story feels like it is written from a child’s point of view, which is a good thing since Jade is a Neverland child who suddenly grew up. I was interesting how JB Trepagnier wove in the sexual progressions of each character. Overall the story is a super steamy read if you’re looking for erotic romance, but the story overall could have been written better.
