Magic Transformed is book 4 of the Twisted Curse series by DJ Dalton. It is action-packed from page 1. If you haven’t read the first 3 books it may be difficult to follow the story. But if you change your perspective and think of it as a non-linear story then as you read, it starts to make sense. I think of it as something like watching Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction for the first.
The story is set in a world much like ours except with the strong presence of magic. So imagine elementals, dragons, shifters, and magic users. Now add to that the police, doctors, reporters, and a gamut of other government agents.
What elements will you find in this story?
magic ✔
curse ✔
mystery ✔
fight scenes ✔
betrayal ✔
love interest ✔
The story is fast-paced and engaging! If you are a fast reader like me, then you could read it in a day. To fully appreciate the story, I highly recommend starting with book 1. If you would like to read the entire series, it is available on Amazon Kindle. You can read it for free with an Amazon Kindle Unlimited (KU) account. That’s what I do.

Spin the Bottle by Effie Greene is a story in the young adult/teen category in Goodnovel. I immediately checked if it was on Amazon as well, and when I found it I bought the book. To be quite frank, it is cheaper to buy a book on Amazon than pay per chapter on reading apps.
I really loved reading this story. The story is light, romantic, and (to a certain extent) innocent … certainly nowhere near the steaminess of other books I have read, which is exactly why I love it!
I like reading YA books every now and then as a palette cleanser and this book is worth the coin. Kudos, author Effie Greene! I also like the fact that the author didn’t push too hard for steamy scenes when it wasn’t necessary.
If you want to give this book a try you can find it on Goodnovel and on Amazon.

Four Fun by Stephanie Brother is unique in that from the very beginning, we, the readers, are told that Becca only wants sex, no relationship!
While women who know what they want and go after it is not uncommon for Stephanie’s female lead characters, Becca has to be the most determined I have ever encountered. Her encounters with these four delicious men are just amazing on so many levels. I tend to immerse myself in the characters as I read so I would be alternately highly aroused, highly amused, puzzled, etc.
As a reader, I already know from the get-go where the story is going so I must admit to being impatient for Becca to realize who the roommates are. The reveal was epic! But I must admit, Shane stole my heart on the first night. He was so tender and loving that I wanted to slap Becca on the back of her head for being so distant and insisting on a one-nighter.
Four Fun by Stephanie Brother is DEFINITELY a MUST-READ! You can get a copy of this book in Kindle or paperback formats on Amazon. Don’t forget to read the other books in the series!

Who doesn’t love a good office romance, right? I started My Boss is Clueless by Angela Lynn Carver on Goodnovel then when I discovered that it is on Amazon, I went ahead and bought the ebook for $4.99! It might sound pricey, but believe me, it is cheaper than reading it on the other app.
Ivan Adams is the CEO of Adams Corp. As usual, he is good-looking and brilliant. Ariel Young is his assistant. Ivan is a difficult boss to work for as he is quite demanding and calls on her any time of the day … but she needs this job so Ariel perseveres.
A funny encounter involving dry cleaning and a just-showered Ivan leads them both down a path neither anticipated but are helpless to resist!
Ariel is losing her mind! But she keeps her sanity when she starts writing a steamy novel on the sly with thoughts of self-publishing later. Meanwhile, there are suspicions of a corporate spy and she has become a suspect.
I love stories that make me laugh and make me eagerly want to turn to the next page. This story does have steamy scenes but most of them are not even between the main characters, but are excerpted in the novel the secretary, Ariel, is secretly writing!
Angela Lynn Carver is one of those authors that write good stories but need help with editing. Get past that and you are sure to enjoy yourself 100%. My Boss is Clueless by Angela Lynn Carver can be found on Amazon and Goodnovel.

The Alpha’s Saviour by Reece Barden is so well-written that I just couldn’t put it down! I started reading it at night and finished in the afternoon of the following day. If not for the need to sleep, I would most likely have read it straight and finished before noon.
I started reading this on Goodnovel because the premise intrigued me. I mean … how often do Alphas need to be saved? Anyone who has read a shifter/werewolf romance knows that the Alpha is the strongest werewolf there is and, often, if anyone needs saving, it is the heroine of the story. As an added twist, she is human and knows nothing about the world of shifters and fated mates.
Reading their romance unfold was such a page-turner. Cooper’s hesitation to let people know that Hayley is his mate to protect her caused her to doubt his feelings for her and the status of their relationship.
While stories between werewolves and humans are not unheard of, it is not that common. I found Reece’s take on it interesting and worth pursuing.
If you would like to read this story, you can find it on Goodnovel and on Amazon in Kindle and paperback versions.
