I love to read quirky fantasy stories that are filled with love, humour and mystery. Sometimes, I even write them.

A Pole and a Gun

This story never lets up! Not once!

The very first chapter lulls you (the reader) and the female main character into a false sense of 'this is just another night for Trixie', but before you or Trixie know it, everything goes to hell in a hand-basket. And from then on, you and Trixie are on a roller coaster of 'what the hell is going to happen next??'

I don't typically read mafia style stories, but this one had me hook, line and sinker from the first chapter. Trixie is a vivacious main character that uses words like others use bullets, but always in a wonderfully humorous manner that will leave you begging for more. Dimitri is the hot-headed son of a mob-boss, but he has found himself in a world of trouble that only seems to grow with his proximity to Trixie (much to the amusement of the men who work for him).

There are puns galore strewn throughout the story (I mean... the last names... really?? Love 'em!) that adds another layer onto what is already a cleverly written story.

And the side characters!! Oh, how I loved the side characters, especially Babushka (her and her kalashnikov obsession), Nox (and his Scottish accent), and Antonia (how we all wish for a flatmate like her). Even the villains were intriguing in their own vile way (always a good thing when discussing villains).

Beautifully written and an easy way to convert someone into reading more mafia stories. If all of them were as funny as this one, then I could easily see myself finding a new genre to plunge into headfirst.

I'm glad that this is also out on Amazon - gives me a reason to re-read the story when I'm not online.

Thank you, Tawarriel, for writing such a wonderful book. I can't wait to dive into more of your stories! Loved it!

The One

This story... Gah! This story! It has me twisted all over the place trying to figure out where it's taking me! I LOVE IT!

I'm writing this review waiting (somewhat impatiently, I might add) for chapter ten to be released. I don't usually review stories this early, but this one left me no choice - I had to review it so everyone else can see how good this story is.

The plot is intriguing to say the very least. As soon as a question gets answered, ten more questions are raised that have me scratching my head in utter, wonderful confusion. I think I have it all worked out, and then the very next chapter, the rug is pulled out from under me and I need to re-evaluate EVERYTHING I just read.

Everything about this story has sucked me in. I love it and can't recommend it any higher. You won't regret reading this, I promise!

Werewolf University

This is such a different werewolf story to what I'm used to reading - and I'm loving it!!

Throw a young woman who has no idea that she's a werewolf (and has no intention of being one anytime soon) up against a stubborn, impatient Alpha who is determined to give her everything she wants and needs even if she doesn't know what that is, and you've got a recipe for romantic tension wound so tight, I can't wait to see what happens when it snaps!

The humour is on point, the characters are intriguing (even the side characters), the pace of the story is quick, and the plot is fascinating - and it's only six chapters in so far!

There is some very minor spelling and grammatical mistakes, but absolutely nothing that takes away from the story at all.

Keep up the brilliant work, Brittany! I honestly can't wait to see where you will take us next! ❤️

Arax and The Alpha

Although I'm reviewing Arax and The Alpha after only twelve chapters have been released, I am already in love with the story.

Arax is a beautifully well-rounded character, whose sense of humour tickles my own. She's had tragedy in her life, yes, but it's shaped her to be the strong woman she is when we join her at the start of the story.

There are multiple other characters that I've grown to love and appreciate for their affection, jealousy, innocence, worldly experience, and yes, even annoyance, towards Arax.

I can't wait to continue reading the rest of this wonderful tale!

If this story is any indication, the author has a big future ahead of herself in authoring incredibly well-developed worlds that make you feel like you're a part of the action. I will be following the author no matter what she writes next, once this story is ultimately finished.

Thank you for the wonderful, entertaining escape from reality during these mad times we currently live in!

The Virile Cowboy

I'm loving this story so far (at time of writing this review, only eight chapters were out).

The characters are all fully formed, even the secondary characters (I absolutely ADORE the main female character's PA, for example. I really hope we see more of her). Each character has their own motivations, needs and wants; not all I (as a reader) agree with, but I can understand WHY they're making the choices they're making.

Being a romance story, I know everything is going to work out by the end of the story, but I can see that every character is really going to have to work hard for their own happily ever after.

Although I do like to read romance stories, I tend to steer clear of unexpected pregnancy stories. However, I read the blurb on Facebook and it captured my intrigue enough for me to come looking for it. I'm not disappointed in the slightest by my decision to give it a shot, as it's beautifully written.

Well done, author. I will have to check out your other stories while I wait for the next update of this one ❤️
