<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Kate SeRine (pronounced “serene”) has been telling stories since before
she could hold a pen. When she’s not writing, you’ll find Kate reading every
book she can get her hands on, watching low-budget horror movies, or geeking
out over pretty much any movie adaptation of a comic book. As long as action
and suspense are involved, she's in!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Kate lives in a smallish, quintessentially Midwestern town with her
husband and two sons, who share her love of storytelling. She never tires of
creating new worlds to share and is even now working on her next
project—probably while consuming way too much coffee. </span><span lang="EN-US">Kate is also the author of the award-winning
paranormal romance series, Transplanted Tales.<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span id="freeText16729672244247284230">I’ve met boys like him before. Rich. Bored. Always wearing a silver-spooned smile. But there is something different about him that piques my curiosity. The way he looks at me, like he is staring through the bars of a gilded cage he’s never left. Like he is one breath away from suffocating beneath a mound of responsibilities. He is different from the rest because he doesn’t wear his money… his money wears him. I just don’t think he knows it yet.</span></em></div>
She’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before. She’s everything I’ve never been able to be. Carefree. Whimsical. A dreamer. Her laugh is infectious. She is irresistible. I can’t help but be drawn to her with an intensity that steals my breath and muddles my senses. I want to know her, need to know her, but how can I allow myself that liberty when I don’t have the freedom to make my own choices?
<span id="freeText16729672244247284230">Phillip and Maggie think they have it all. Even though they come from opposite backgrounds, they each have bright futures paved out, with no distractions holding them back.</span><span id="freeText16729672244247284230"></span>
<span id="freeText16729672244247284230">Until the fateful day they meet each other. </span><span id="freeText16729672244247284230"></span>
<span id="freeText16729672244247284230">After a brief, adventurous time together in The Hamptons, Maggie and Phillip find themselves saying goodbye just as the spark of love flashes intensely between them. Can their budding connection be enough to survive the pulling tides of change, or will they drift apart before they even have a chance to explore what could have been?</span></blockquote>

It’s been a while since I’ve read a book.
Now don’t get me wrong, I still read a lot but it’s mostly beta reads, and for
editing. As much as I enjoy helping out my friends by beta reading, it also
takes a lot to do it. You read it in a different way. So sitting down to read
If Ever I Fall was a wonderful experience, I could read it from A to Z and
remembered how fun it was to get lost in a book again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's a giveaway aaaaallll the way down, one copy of If I Ever Fall is up for grabs :-)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I’ll try and leave out spoilers from
previous books as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">If Ever I Fall is Aiden’s story. After
everything that happened, Robert de Fleur is on Cole Enterprises' shit list.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Aiden, Greg and Nadia have set up an
undercover office under a church in Scotland. Why? Well, de Fleur’s only family
lives there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Aiden’s mission is to get closer to the
family without giving himself away. The best solution? Get a job in the
Grounded Bean, Brenda’s (De Fleur’s sister) coffee shop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Everything is going quietly right until
Aiden, Maggie’s niece shows up. She’s home after been traveling for a while and
with her all kinds of trouble follows.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Aiden now have to fight against the
emotions Airen is awakening inside of him and his will to finish the mission
he’s on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In this book we also meet our old friends;
Ace, Oliver, Eli, Josh, Grant and Nadia. Seeing some of the Six again is always
wonderful, even though their comeback in this one is brief compared to The End
Note.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
What hit me the most with If Ever I Fall
are the new characters we met; Airen and her family, her aunt Brenda and her
mother. I love how Sonya have incorporated the Scottish dialect into her story.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I loved reading this book. I fell in love
with Aiden and Airen and their struggle. Aiden not wanting to drag Airen into
his life because he want her safe, Airen keeping her family’s secret close to
her heart and afraid of pulling Aiden into her life, afraid of being hurt
again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">As always Sonya manages to drag you into
the story without you realizing it, and this one beat my record for when I got
hooked on a book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">3 %.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">That’s all it took before I was so deep
into the story that I forgot everything around me. I do mean everything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">If Ever I Fall have it all; action,
romance, secrets, Scottish brogue, suspense and twists. Every page made me want
to read more, to learn more and some of the pieces of the puzzle didn’t fall
into place until the end. Which is just awesome, I might add. Some of the stuff
we’re told about in the beginning, we get the answers at the very end
indirectly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It was amazing. My heart was in my throat,
I laughed and I cried.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sonya has this special gift when she writes
books. First of all, she’s amazing at making everyone feel real to you, like
you could bump into them down the road, but she has something else. Something
unique. Every time I’m done reading one of her books, I want to hug her and I
want to wring her neck. She puts my heart through a shredder and when she’s
done, she’s there with the glue to help you put it all together.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Each book has touched me in a different
way, have fitted into my life in different ways and each time she has made me
cry only to come out stronger on the other side. Sonya writes amazing stories,
but more than that, she brings them to life. She tosses you into an emotional
rollercoaster and you will be asking for more once you get off the ride.</span></div>

Sonya Loveday, first and foremost is a reader, an avid one. It is of that love that brought her to purchasing her first laptop in 2009, and publishing her first novel, Casted, in 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In early 2014, Sonya expanded Casted and then went on to publish Spelled, the sequel to Casted in March, wrapping up the series, and her stint with Paranormal Romance. For now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not long after the completion to the Casted Series, Sonya tried her hand at New Adult/Coming of Age, a sub-genre of Contemporary Romance. Thusly, the Six were born with The Summer I Fell, which released at the end of July 2014. The demand from readers was instantaneously, which brought about End Note, the second book of the series in December 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To date, Sonya lives in Central Florida with her husband, and two kids, and is currently working on the fourth book of the Six Series and a <em>super secret</em> project with fellow author Candace Knoebel. Be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming news on Sonya's website!</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">This is not the way love is supposed to start… is it?</span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">When arriving in Scotland, Aiden Jacobson is ready to take on the task of setting up Cole Enterprise’s newest underground headquarters. But when their most-wanted criminal, Robert de Fleur, goes into hiding, Aiden is placed undercover at a local coffee shop. His mission—gather intel from Brenda Anderson, sister of Robert de Fleur, while posing as a barista at The Grounded Bean. </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Coffee shop owner Brenda Anderson needs all the help she can get when it comes to keeping the Bean up and running. Unaware of his ulterior motives, Brenda brings the mysterious and handsome Aiden in with only one thing on her mind… Airen. Maybe her gypsy-souled niece wouldn’t wander quite so far if she had someone like Aiden to keep her grounded. </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Thrown together by circumstance, Airen becomes part of Aiden’s mission when Robert de Fleur emerges from hiding, demanding something none of them can give. Knowing Robert won’t stop until he gets what he wants, Aiden is ordered to stick as close as possible to keep an eye on them. </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Staying at Brenda’s seems to be the simplest solution… until he wakes up in Airen’s bed.</span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Making a valiant attempt to shove his growing feelings aside, Aiden forces himself to walk away and protect Airen from afar. Unfortunately, his plan backfires, and Robert de Fleur uses that weakness to make his move.</span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Kicking himself for allowing his feelings to get in the way of the mission, Aiden sets out to do what he should have done all along… take out Robert de Fleur once and for all. Can Aiden stick to the mission, or will Airen tear down every defense he puts in place and gain complete entrance to his heart?</span><br />

Lily Luchesi is a young author/poet born in Chicago,
Illinois, now residing in Los Angeles, California. Ever since she was a toddler
her mother noticed her tendency for being interested in all things “dark”. At
two she became infatuated with vampires and ghosts, and that infatuation turned
into a lifestyle by the time she was twelve, and, as her family has always been
what they now call “Gothic”, she doesn’t believe she shall ever change. She is
also a hopeless romantic and avid music-lover, and will always associate
vampires with love, blood and rock and roll. Her interest in poetry came around
the same time as when she was given a book of Edgar Allan Poe’s complete work.
She then realized that she had been writing her own poetry since she could hold
a pen, and just had not known the correct terms. She finished her first
manuscript at the age of fourteen, and now, at twenty-one, has two contributing
credits in anthologies and a debut novel, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stake-Out</i>,
is soon to be published by Vamptasy Publishing on May 19th, 2015.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hi Everyone!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Mine was filled with the usual; laundry, kids, baking ;-) Only four more days to go before my hubby comes back from Romania, and I can't wait!! He's been gone since April 8!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways, I'm here today because I wanted to show you something pretty, shiny and awesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you might know, I love Sonya Loveday's writing, she is absolutely amazing and can always catch me off guard. Not to forget she always makes me forget everything else around me. ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Summer I Fell was an emotional rollercoaster to me, and I cursed at Sonya for ages because of it. She really did a number on me with that one. The End Note was amazing and tied up things from The Summer I Fell, so there were stuff that suddenly made more sense. I still cursed at Sonya - but she's used to it by now. *grins*</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is the BIG reveal; the cover for her third book in The Six series; If Ever I Fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take a look, what do you think?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love it. I think it's my favorite in this series so far - cover wise that is. I haven't read it yet (since it's not released yet), but since Sonya always is on my autobuy list, I am going to read it.</div>

This is not the way love is supposed to start… is it?<br />
<br />
When ariving in Scotland, Aiden Jacobson is ready to take on the task of setting up Cole Enterprise’s newest underground headquarters. But when their most-wanted criminal, Robert de Fleur, goes into hiding, Aiden is placed undercover at a local coffee shop. His mission—gather intel from Brenda Anderson, sister of Robert de Fleur, while posing as a barista at The Grounded Bean.<br />
<br />
Coffee shop owner Brenda Anderson needs all the help she can get when it comes to keeping the Bean up and running. Unware of his ulterior motives, Brenda brings the mysterious and handsome Aiden in with only one thing on her mind… Airen. Maybe her gypsy-souled niece wouldn’t wander quite so far if she had someone like Aiden to keep her grounded.<br />
<br />
Thrown together by circumstance, Airen becomes part of Aiden’s mission when Robert de Fleur emerges from hiding, demanding something none of them can give. Knowing Robert won’t stop until he gets what he wants, Aiden is ordered to stick as close as possible to keep an eye on them.<br />
<br />
Staying at Brenda’s seems to be the simplest solution… until he wakes up in Airen’s bed.<br />
Making a valiant attempt to shove his growing feelings aside, Aiden forces himself to walk away and protect Airen from afar. Unfortunately, his plan backfires, and Robert de Fleur uses that weakness to make his move.<br />
<br />
Kicking himself for allowing his feelings to get in the way of the mission, Aiden sets out to do what he should have done all along… take out Robert de Fleur once and for all. Can Aiden stick to the mission, or will Airen tear down every defense he puts in place and gain complete entrance to his heart?<br />

Sonya Loveday, first and foremost is a reader, an avid one. It is of that love that brought her to </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
purchasing her first laptop in 2009, and publishing her first novel, Casted, in 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In early 2014, Sonya expanded Casted and then went on to publish Spelled, the sequel to Casted in March, wrapping up the series, and her stint with Paranormal Romance. For now.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not long after the completion to the Casted Series, Sonya tried her hand at New Adult/Coming of Age, a sub-genre of Contemporary Romance. Thusly, the Six were born with The Summer I Fell, which released at the end of July 2014. The demand from readers was instantaniously, which brought about End Note, the second book of the series in December 2014. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To date, Sonya lives in Central Florida with her husband, and two kids, and is currently working on her fifth book set to release later this spring 2015.</div>

Oh, how I love Mariana and her Skylar Wolf Mystery series!<br />
<br />
As always it’s filled with fun, quirkiness, snark and.. well, everything that makes Skylar, Skylar.<br />
<br />
This time Skylar and her cousin Levi have accepted a case for Aiden’s best friend; Bryce. Something’s fishy about the case and Bryce can’t go into it himself, which is why he’s asking for Skylars help.<br />
<br />
4 women have been killed, four blue eyed, blond women. All young, all pretty. Aiden doesn’t like that Skylar is taking the case, and he sure as hell lets her know it. Knowing Skylar, you can imagine her response. *grins*<br />
<br />
It is now up to Skylar to dive into the case, straighten up the mess and figure out who the real killer is – before the killer goes after her and those she cares about.<br />
<br />
Snag & Bag is a fast paced short story that will leave you wanting more. I am in love with this series, despite the seriousness of the topics in her books, Mariana always manages to make me laugh. Skylar is a person you would look after twice just because of her quirky personality, maybe even someone you would dismiss as being partly insane. But don’t judge her. She’s smarter than most, she just have an attitude to back it up. I bet some women would wish that they’re just like her, to be free that way.<br />
<br />
I know I adore her, and I love this series. Remember to check out the previous books before reading Snag & Bag since they have to be read in order.<br />

Skylar's next adventure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Skylar’s in over her head…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This time it begins with a visit from Aiden’s lawyer friend Bryce. He has a case for Skylar. It’s a special one. He thinks the guy he is prosecuting is innocent. He wants Skylar to find the real killer. Of course she agrees. It would be fun, she thinks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
With Levi in tow she sets off on the investigation. Everything is confusing, nothing seems right. Then the unthinkable happens and they end up in a tight situation. Skylar must use all her skills to get her and Levi out of trouble this time. Will her snarky attitude make things worse?</div>

If you look in the local coffee shop or bookstore you might just find Mariana Thorn. She can usually be found with headphones in and deep into the worlds she has created. There is this thing about her pens if you touch them you might receive a smack to the hand and the well-known glare of destruction. Besides writing, Mariana enjoys reading, photography, and playing with her dog. She lives in Western Washington, but loves to travel to Florida to sit on the beach to write.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
She is the author of Fantasy and Mystery stories. She currently has two titles in her Fur, Fangs, and Fairies series. There are three short stories available in her Skylar Wolfe Mysteries. There are many more books and series to come.</div>

Oh my gosh, where to start?<br />
<br />
Blood of Legends takes off pretty much right after Blood of Shadows, and we get to see a little more relaxed side of Layna. If you remember, Kester lured her into taking a much needed reprieve from.. well, everything. Torrin’s wedding, the impending war, her feelings toward Kester (and the confusion that follows), even her responsibilities as a princess. It has taken its toll on her, and the break she took was much needed.<br />
<br />
Alas, there was a reason why Kester (alongside with her brother Ariston and Torrin) had nudged her off and away. There’s a contract out on Layna’s life, and while Layna was away, they have been trying to figure out who put the contract out there. They just kinda forgot to tell Layna about it before she left. Minor details.<br />
<br />
On top of that there’s still the coming war, an old legend coming to life, secrets that have been buried far too long comes forth and the ever growing attraction between Kester and Layna. Basically… A normal day for Layna as a princess and as a Shadow.<br />
<br />
I absolutely freaking loved this book – which shouldn’t come as a surprise for anyone who knows me. I adore Mariana and I am totally in love with her writing, she can build a world like no other. Blood of Legends pulls you in and you go without protests, because you just want and need to know more. I fell so hard for this world when I read Blood of Shadows and I jumped straight into it again when I received Blood of Legends.<br />
<br />
The growing attraction between Kester and Layna is amazing and frustrating at the same time, I understand Layna’s reasoning, but at the same time, I really, really, REALLY want to smack her in the head (and most likely get cut down for it).<br />
<br />
The price on Layna’s head must be substantial, because damn! There are wanna be assassins EVERYWHERE. Her frustration of not being able to do her job properly is tearing at Layna, and when she finds out who’s responsible…. Heads will roll, that’s for sure. Her temper has a way of getting the best of her sometimes. *grins*<br />
<br />
As usual when it comes to Mariana’s books, I tore through this one in no time. One chapter took the next while I cursed at her several times, shed a few tears and snorted with laughter. There are few authors that can take me completely away from reality the way Mariana can.<br />
<br />
Blood of Legends has it all to me; action, emotions, adventure, frustration, laughter and joy, tears, characters you love and hate, a well written plot. Everything I need in a good book to keep me up late at night.<br />

The journey continues…<br />
<br />
Layna thought leaving after Bailios’ execution would give her some peace and quiet. She was wrong. There is a price on her head, which makes it nearly impossible for her to perform her duties. Assassins are everywhere.<br />
<br />
Layna and Kester travel to Edem, a place Layna swore she’d never set foot in again, to retrieve a hidden treasure that will change all of their destinies. Secrets are revealed and Layna worries that the coming war will take everything she holds dear.<br />

<br /></div>
Have you ever wondered about how our soldiers and their spouses handle a deployment? The loss of each other and trying to cope with work and an everyday life?<br />
<br />
Lexi Ostrow’s new series; In Service gives us a small glimpse into this. It is a very short insight, true but a very realistic one none the less.<br />
<br />
The emotions in this short story is very raw and I couldn’t help but to get pulled into the story. I could feel every emotion that was running through Ash’s head, from learning about the deployment to the end of it. Her fears, her hope, joy and relief. This is something that have always caught me off guard with Lexi and her writing – the rawness of her emotion, that she can drag you so much into her stories that you forget everything around you.<br />
<br />
Travis been in the navy since he was twenty-two and Ash known him almost as long. For the past three years there’s been no deployment, Travis’ been home and the little family have thrived. Three weeks ago everything changed – Travis got the call for a deployment and Ash now have to prepare herself and her two little boys for what is coming. In Sinking Ships we follow how both Ash and Travis each handle this deployment. I like that we don’t just get one POV, but two.<br />
<br />
I’m not sure if I said it before, but I loved reading this short story. Loved it. Every single page. Even though I would LOVE to get more into detail, especially with the end… I won’t. I have this non spoiler policy. It’s seriously killing me, but I won’t do it.<br />
<br />
If you like Lexi’s writing, I’m positive that you’re going to love Sinking Ships. I know I did and I can’t wait to read more from her – I have a few of her books on my kindle right now.<br />

Lexi Ostrow has been in love with the written word since second grade when her librarian started a writing club. Born in sunny southern California she's spent time in various places across the country and can't wait to settle down somewhere in the French Quarter when she's able too.<br />
<br />
Lexi has been a writer ever since the second grade in some form or another. Getting her degree in creative writing and her master's in journalism she couldn't wait to get a chance to put her fantasies down on paper. Her debut novel, Torn Between Two Worlds is something that was simmering in her mind since middle school and she's so grateful to put it out into the literary world. From paranormal romance to thriller there isn't a genre she doesn't love to spend her time reading or writing.<br />
<br />
Reading and writing are her first loves but her passion for shopping, love for yummy food and her love for all her many pets. She hopes to one day help other readers fall in love with writing as she did.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In sickness and in health<br /><br />Till death do us part<br /><br /><br />The vows were exchanged and Adriana had her whole life planned out. Marriage, babies and a fabulous career.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />Life was perfect, until the day the only man she had ever been with, the man who had stolen her heart at the tender age of seventeen, was taken away before his time. <br /><br />Desperate, angry and unable to heal, Adriana hits rock bottom and is forced to seek help for the sake of her son. What she doesn’t expect is a friendship from an unlikely source: Julian Baker, her best friend’s ex-fiancé. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Julian is every bit the man she isn’t expecting to walk into her life. Intelligent, witty and extremely handsome. Their unique friendship soon turns into a forbidden relationship. As lovers, they form a bond that must remain hidden from their family and friends, but secrets can only be kept for so long. Adriana’s brother Lex loathes Julian and will stop at nothing to break them apart. Will Lex’s controlling nature and overprotective stance on his wife drive Adriana to end another great love in her life, or will she finally heal with a man who never intended to steal her heart? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Born and bred in Sydney Australia, Kat T. Masen is a mother to three crazy boys and wife to one sane husband. Growing up in a generation where social media and fancy gadgets didn’t exist, she enjoyed reading from an early age and found herself immersed in these stories. After meeting friends on twitter who loved to read as much as she did, her passion to write began and the friendships continued on despite the distance. “I’m known to be crazy and humorous. Show me the most random picture of a dog in a wig and I’ll be laughing for days.”</span><br />

<i><b>The tawdry tale of the Duke and Duchess of Dunwoody continues...</b></i></h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maggie Armstrong, the long-lost illegitimate
daughter of the heir presumptive to the throne, is bedeviled by her husband's limited
definition of fidelity. After observing him in a<i> menage a trois</i> at the court of King Charles II,
she is determined to bring him around to her way of thinking—by any means necessary.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Robert doesn’t mind being punished for his
transgressions. Rather, he enjoys being whipped, especially by his beloved
bride. Unfortunately, her heart might not belong to him alone. His younger
brother, who he’d sent abroad to clear the way for himself, is coming home
sooner than expected, and Maggie’s feelings for Hugh may not be as dead as her
husband had hoped</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both duke and duchess soon learn, to their peril, Hugh Armstrong is not the honorable man they’d been led to believe. Insanely jealous of his brother’s situation, Hugh will stop at nothing to strip Robert of
all he holds dear—including his life. </div>

<h3>
<b><i>Can
these star-crossed lovers bridge two worlds?</i></b></h3>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
British aristocrat Vanessa Bentley has beauty, fame, and fortune, but she gets no
respect for her decision to become a paranormal investigator. Determined to
prove the naysayers wrong, Vanessa ventures to the misty moors of Caithness,
Scotland. There stands the immense Castle Barrogill, where a vampire is rumored
to be stalking the dungeons—a vampire Vanessa is determined to find. </div>
<br />
<center>
She just has to get past the resident shape-shifter…</center>
<br />
<center>
Callum Lyon is the gorgeous reclusive astrologer and faery knight who guards the
castle. For free-spirited Vanessa, seducing him proves to be easy. After all,
he was once a breeding drone to a Queen. But astrologically, their differences
are harder to overcome. Will Vanessa’s mission—and Callum’s secrets—be more
than their burgeoning love can take? Or will flesh—and blood—win over the
ghosts that haunt them both? ….</center>

Blood of Shadows takes us to a new world. A world that consists of the three kingdoms; Malna, Zockii and Tirllyn. Layna (or Malayna) is the princess of Zockii, but not the ruler of the kingdom. Her brother Ariston has that privilege. Instead Layna chose a different way to serve her people – by becoming a Black Shadow, an elite of warriors. Black Shadows are doing the necessary – what ever that might be.<br />
<br />
Ulric took control over Malna a long time ago, and becoming more and more ruthless as time went, bringing the three kingdoms closer and closer to a war.<br />
<br />
Adding to the troubles, the borders are being attacked, eradicating whole villages. Even worse? It seems like there’s a traitor among the Black Shadows. And just to make sure she stays on her toes….. Layna needs to find the traitor before Torrin’s wedding. Preferably alive. Before anyone else gets hurt. No pressure.<br />
<br />
Layna is a kickass princess, who takes order from no one and can cleave a man in two if needed. She’s also stubborn, determined, passionate, loves her people, Frankly, I absolutely ADORE her. She’s a superhero of her time.<br />
<br />
Zen is a friend of Layna, and a Black Shadow as well. He’s the type that never, EVER will let you forget a mistake you made, like twenty years ago, but in the end, he’ll be there when you need him.<br />
Asling is Torrin’s twin sister, and therefor a princess as well – only a princess of Tirllyn. Like Layna, she chose to serve her people as a Shadow too. We don’t get to see much of Asling in this book, but the little I saw… I liked.<br />
<br />
Fynn isn’t royal, but has been a part of the gang just as long. Fynn was always picked on as a child because he was different. Layna and Zen quickly took him under their wings and they became good friends. Fynn is a healer, and a damn good one. He’s more quiet – at least until you get to know him. Then all bets are off. *grins*<br />
<br />
Kester is also a Black Shadow, but not someone Layna have known before. Fynn and Kester is good friends though, and have known each other for years. Since Layna needs to find the traitor among the Black Shadows, her brother and Torrin decides to put Kester and Layna together, especially since she had a small accident on her last mission.<br />
<br />
Torrin, Ariston, Zen, Asling, Fynn and Layna have been friends since children, and the love, respect, the warmth of their friendship bleeds into the story and it is a delight to read.<br />
<br />
The action, the plot, the twists, the secrets, the magic…. Everything brings Blood of Shadows together and gives me a world that I not only could disappear into, but WANTED to fall into. Mariana kept me captivated from the beginning to the end (and don’t get me started on the ending. Just don’t. I’m still debating on if I love her or hate her *grins*). Two chapters in and I had to remind myself to not tear through the book, since I do have a full time job. I need the sleep. ;-) That said…. I read the last chapter and the epilogue in my car in front of my workplace, finishing and running into work with two minutes to spare. I made it, barely. I just HAD to know what happened, and couldn’t bear the thought of waiting another 7 hours before reading the last in the book.<br />
<br />
There are sooo many wonderful moments in this book; some made me smile, others made me laugh out loud, some made me cry. I have always loved Mariana’s writing; her Fur, Fangs & Fairies series and her Skylar Wolfe series are two amazing examples of what she is capable of doing. This? Shows it even more. I can’t wait for the sequel. I NEED to know what’s happening next!!!!<br />

Turn back the pages of time to the 15th century, Britain, a dark era in history. All legends begin somewhere in truth and are distorted over the years, turned into myth. One such Legend starts with passion, love, demonic and a ritualistic sacrifice and has dire consequences for future generations of a family named Cambelle. Mystery, murder, magic and ghosts, The Curse of Mary is a seductive, terrifying colourful trip through time into the modern age. Nicolajayne Taylor really brings history to life as she rewrites a well known legend and does spookery like no other author. This is British horror at its best.<br />

Oh how I love Raine and her cousin Phaelan! Adore beyond what I ever could be able to describe! I found Lisa Shearin and her Raine Benares series after her second book; Armed & Magical had been released and The Trouble With Demons was close to come out. I fell hard.<br />
<br />
There’s something absolutely magical about the way you’re pulled into the story, and how it refuses to let you go. Honestly, I have lost count of how many times I’ve re-read the entire series, and something tells me that I’m about to dive into it again.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Lisa has a special way of making me turn the pages faster because I just have to know what happens next – even though I curse myself for doing so, because I want it to last longer, she makes me smile due to the humor delivered, the witty comments, the bite me remarks from Raine or Phaelan – or anyone from her novels really.<br />
<br />
I always feel at home sitting down with one of her books, I know I will love it, I know I will smile, laugh, gasp and shiver in anticipation for what will happen next.<br />
<br />
For those of you who have been a Raine Benares fan for ages (like me – or longer than me), you might have wondered about Tam and Raine’s first meeting. Or maybe you wanted an explanation for the curse Raine used against Ocnus Rancil.<br />
<br />
I know I wanted to know for a long time.<br />
<br />
Was it worth it?<br />
<br />
Hell yeah.<br />
<br />
Dark mages, illegal games, my favorite elf and favorite goblin, a trip back to my favorite series, Raine running straight into danger (again), Phaelan doing what he does best…. Well, what’s not to love?<br />
<br />
Seeing Raine again after what feels like…. Well, too darn long time that’s for sure, I loved stepping back into the world of Mermeia, taste the danger lurking underneath the surface and the thrill of following Raine on her adventure.<br />
<br />
A gobling woman have come to seek help from Raine; her husband have been gambling a bit too much and this time, he overstepped his boundries. He took something from her that was priceless for her; her grandmother’s ring. But when Raine starts digging deeper into the case, things are revealed that points toward something more sinister than a regular gamble at a card game. Suddenly time is short for Raine and her friends, because not only will they have to stop the game, retrieve the souls and get them back to the children – they have to do it before sunrise. No pressure right?<br />
<br />
Lisa did exactly what I hoped she would; pulled me back into her world again, showed me that not ever secret has been exposed, that there are still things we don’t know yet as a reader – and I love her for it. She made me laugh, made my tummy turn for the children, made me want to slap Tam and then hug him a little later – basically…. I became a part of the story, which is the best feeling you can get as a reader.<br />
<br />
Wild card is a prequel to the Raine Benares series and can be read alone, but you will definitely not regret picking up the rest of the series. If you like the humor that Lisa delivers with Raine, you should also try her SPI Files with Makenna Fraser.<br />

My name is Raine Benares. I’m a seeker, a finder of things lost and people missing. I’ve never had to do both in one day, or had this many lives at stake—including mine.<br />
<br />
The search for a missing ring leads me to the abduction of eight magically gifted children. Their souls were stolen while they slept, and unless I find those souls by sunrise, their bodies will die.<br />
<br />
Both cases have one thing in common—they’re linked to a goblin secret society high-stakes poker game, whose members are practitioners of the blackest of black magic. As a seeker, I can track those captured children’s souls, but to spring them will take magic I haven’t got.<br />
<br />
That's where Tamnais Nathrach comes in. He's the seductive embodiment of sin itself. He's also a goblin dark mage with an even darker past, the owner of the city's most notorious casino—and the only person with magic enough to reach the kids in time.<br />
<br />
Why are the most dangerous predators the most beautiful?<br />
<br />
The stakes are high; the odds of success are low. And I'm betting with my life—a life I'll have to trust to a darkly tempting goblin mage I just met.<br />

Contrary to popular belief, most authors do have day jobs just like everyone else. Lisa’s happily freelancing for an advertising agency as an editor and proofreader. In her previous corporate life, she’s been a magazine editor, advertising copywriter, and writer of corporate marketing materials of every description.<br />
<br />
Lisa is the national bestselling author of The Raine Benares novels, a series of six comedic fantasy adventures. Her next series—The SPI Files—is an urban fantasy that’s been described as Stephanie Plum meets Men in Black. The second book in that series -- THE DRAGON CONSPIRACY -- will be out on January 27, 2015.<br />
<br />
Lisa is a voracious collector of fountain pens both vintage and modern. She lives on a small farm in North Carolina with her husband, three spoiled-rotten retired racing greyhounds, and enough deer and woodland creatures to fill a Disney movie.<br />

Wiggle & Jiggle is the third book in Mariana’s Skylar Wolf Mystery series and I love it more for every book.<br />
<br />
Skylar and Levi’s moms are in trouble which makes them drop everything and rush off to help. Hot on their heels are Aiden and his lawyer friend Bryce, both ready to help.<br />
<br />
While it looks like a good clusterfuck regarding their case, Skylar is about to walk into dangerous and unknown territory of her own with Aiden. Will she be able to take the jump?<br />

Filled with even more snarkiness from Skylar, this adventure will make you laugh like the rest of the books. I loved that in this book, the mystery took a small step back and allowed for the relationship between Aiden and Skylar to move a bit more to the front.<br />
<br />
Also.. it’s Skylar. Skylar!! Nothing good happens before 10 Am Skylar. Wearing shorts and flipflops Skylar. The one who calls shotgun and races back and forth just to beat her cousin. I adore her, she’s living her life like she wants and doesn’t give a shit about what everyone else thinks. I also love how Levi sometimes need to translate what she say. *giggles*<br />
<br />
Anyhow… As much as I absolutely freaking LOVE Mariana’s Fur, Fangs and Fairies series, reading her Skylar Wolfe mystery books are pure vacation and enjoyment.<br />

Take off your clothes and pull up a seat, Skylar Wolfe is headed to a nudist community for her next snarky adventure! Join Levi, Aiden, and her newest victim, Bryce as they investigate a death involving Skylar and Levi’s mothers, Lorlei and Dorthoy Wolfe.<br />
<br />
It all begins with a phone call from jail. With Lori and Dori locked up and Uncle Vic off on vacation, it’s up to Skylar and Levi to rescue them. With a ride from Aiden and a healthy dose of snarkiness from Skylar, they are off to save the day!<br />
<br />
But it looks like that will be no easy task. Murder is a harder charge to post bail for than public nudity. So with the help of Aiden’s friend Bryce the crew has to come together to figure it out before it is too late. All the while the growing heat between Aiden and Skylar starts to deepen to something more than just dysfunctional coworkers. It will all come down to a choice…<br />
and for Skylar’s sake, let’s hope she chooses right…<br />

Felicia’s sixteenth birthday turned out to be very different to what she had imagined.<br />
<br />
Seeing both her parents being killed in front of her by demons left her scarred for the rest of her life. Taken in by the Alliance and trained was her only opportunity. Driven by hatred and a thirst for vengeance, Felicia have been making London more safe for humans and dangerous for the demons.<br />
<br />
On her first true solo mission she stumbles straight into the handsome Captain of the Guard; Greyston. No one knows that he’s an incubus, it doesn’t make him less dangerous to other demons – he hunts them just like Felicia.<br />
<br />
The night takes a different turn than what both of them had hoped it would, but will it bring them closer or will Felicia’s hatred for demons break them?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Oooohhhh. This. I absolutely freaking love it. Period.<br />
<br />
Felicia and her loss crawls under your skin and you feel her pain and her determination to hunt down every demon and eradicate them from this planet. Which makes it all the more delicious to me that she should fall for the one thing she never would allow; a demon.<br />
<br />
Greyston is.. well… yummy. There’s no other way to say it. I like that Lexi made him an incubus, a demon species not used very often anymore. Having him being dominating and yet to see him having a softer side…. Oy.<br />
<br />
I love the gadgets in Demon in Steam as well, sometimes when I read a steampunk story I can get overwhelmed with the descriptions on the different things – not here. I could clearly picture the weapons and the steamdriven bicycle. Both are very awesome to me.<br />
<br />
Demon in Steam is a quick, sexy read and it leaves you wanting for more – at least it did for me. I already have the next one downloaded and ready on my kindle; Nightmare in Steam.<br />

In the London Underground the Alliance of Silver and Steam is all that protects humans from demons.<br />
<br />
Felicia Gannon is no stranger to the demons that lurk in the night. After her parents were murdered in front of her the Alliance took her in and trained her. Vengeance became her only drive.<br />
<br />
Greyston Westham is more than just the devilishly handsome Captain of the Guard. He's an Incubus Demon who hunts his own kind because they have no use for lesser demons like himself.<br />
<br />
When a murderer is running lose that only the Alliance can deal with Felicia and Greyston are thrown together in a deadly game. Can she overcome her hatred of demons and give into the relationship that will save her life? Or will Felicia's hatred be her doom.<br />
<br />

Lexi Ostrow has been in love with the written word since second grade when her librarian started a writing club. Born in sunny southern California she's spent time in various places across the country and can't wait to settle down somewhere in the French Quarter when she's able too.<br />
<br />
Lexi has been a writer ever since the second grade in some form or another. Getting her degree in creative writing and her master's in journalism she couldn't wait to get a chance to put her fantasies down on paper. Her debut novel, Torn Between Two Worlds is something that was simmering in her mind since middle school and she's so grateful to put it out into the literary world. From paranormal romance to thriller there isn't a genre she doesn't love to spend her time reading or writing.<br />
<br />
Reading and writing are her first loves but her passion for shopping, love for yummy food and her love for all her many pets. She hopes to one day help other readers fall in love with writing as she did.<br />

Maggie York, a convent-raised foundling, knows the Duke of Dunwoody’s sexual tastes are a shade or two darker than normal, but marries him anyway—partly because she has no other prospects and partly because, try as she might, she can’t seem to stop fantasizing about her dashing guardian.<br />
<br />
Two years ago, a voyeuristic experience involving him lured her from the garden of innocence into the orchard of forbidden fruit and she's been hungry for more ever since.<br />
<br />
Robert Armstrong, the duke, is a Roman Catholic whose extreme devotions as a child colored his desires as a man. He’s also a slave to the times in which he lives--and to his king. Everything he is, everything he holds dear, depends on staying in Charles II’s good graces.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Maggie isn't the king's choice of brides for the young Duke of Dunwoody. Now, to make amends, Robert must choose between the lesser of two evils: whore his wife or be reduced to a penniless commoner.<br />
<br />
Whose interests will Robert choose to serve, his own, the king’s, or the woman he loves?<br />
<br />

<br />
Wow.<br />
<br />
As much as that would sum up how I feel about this book, it might not be enough for you. *smiles* So… What do I like about Devil in Duke’s Clothing?<br />
<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>All the research Nina has made. Wow. It amazes and humbles me, and let me tell you – gives this story so much more value to me. Makes it feel more real to me.<br />
<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The language. Let’s be realistic for once. It’s 1680. They don’t talk like we do today. The fact that Nina have used the language from then is amazing. Even slang!<br />
<br />
3)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We get a unique glimpse into how it used to be then. Yes, I am aware that this is fiction, but the fact that Nina have put so much time into research, and even go to the length to admit she has changed ONE tiny detail compared to the facts from real history…<br />
<br />
4)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The sex. It’s enticing, naughty and hot. I love how Nina took a young woman raised to believe that all kind of intercourse between man and woman (even between husband and wife) are a sin. She was raised in a convent – can you tell? The Duke sure has some convincing to do to make her see that maybe not all intimacy between two married people is the work of the devil.<br />
<br />
5)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The main characters. It was fun reading about Maggie and hear her thoughts, her wavering back and forth. To feel her shock at her own reactions. Robert isn’t all bad as he might appear, but he is too a slave of the time being and when the king tells you to jump, you normally ask how high to stay in his good grace.<br />
<br />
6)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The plot. As much as I really want to go into depths with it and tell you EVERYTHING…. I have this policy about no spoilers. All I’m going to say is this; Nina surprised me in the end and OMG I truly loved her for it!!<br />
<br />
All in all, Devil in Duke’s Clothing took me for an amazing, well written, hot read that I simply couldn’t put down. Nina made me want to know more, made me turn the pages faster than I anticipated and I was almost disappointed when the book ended, because.. well it ENDED! *huffs* I so badly want to know more, I want to sink back into this world.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hello my friends!!!</b></span></div>
<br />
I hope you left 2014 safely and got into 2015 with a bang!!!<br />
As you might have noticed, it's been a bit quiet around here lately. There's a reason for that.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
2014 was the year of change for me - in many ways. I tried, and failed to pass my exam in pharmacology. Since I failed, I couldn't continue as a veterinarian student. Yes, it hurt. Being a vet was my dream since I was a little girl and I've been working very hard for it. For a few days I fell into a dark hole.<br />
<br />
But being the person I am, I crawled out, dusted myself off and got back into life again. I'm a fighter, have always been.<br />
<br />
2014 was the year where I found out what makes me happier than school; I love being a post(wo)man. When I got the job almost two years ago, I never thought I would love it the way I do, but surprise, surprise, I do. SO when my boss called me and offered me a full time position at a different post office, I accepted. Currently I'm on contract for a few months at the time, and my workstation switches depending on where they need me. But I love being a postie, the freedom, the (mostly) happy customers, the fresh air biting my cheeks, the sun on my skin, the birds singing. Yes, right now it's cold and wet, it's Denmark, it's winter - we either get a shitload of snow or loads of rain. Right now I prefer the rain, because it's easier to drive in than a boatload of snow. Getting stuck in snow isn't something I'm keen on experiencing.<br />
<br />
2014 was also the year where I finally started writing on my own. After being ridiculed as a child for my writing, I stopped when I was around ten. A very dear friend to me *cough - Sarah - cough* gave me the courage to not only write a story that was close to my heart, but to submit it too.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And guess what?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It got accepted. Not only that one, but my second short story got accepted too! So I was published TWICE last year with some absolutely fabulous, amazing and super talented authors!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My first story was a part of the Dark Light Four anthology, The Beginning, and is also the prequel to my first series. I'm still writing on it, but am closing in on the end.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can check out Dark Light Four on Goodreads <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22730882-dark-light-four?ac=1" target="_blank">HERE</a>, or you can swing by Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LVETZ78?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B00LVETZ78&linkCode=xm2&tag=sabsadvinrea-20" target="_blank">HERE</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The second anthology I was a part of was an erotic one from Hot Ink Press; Naughty Bedtime Stories: First Taste. My story is The Rescue, about what can happen when a cop has to make a late night stop at a vet clinic.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can find Naughty Bedtime Stories: First Taste on <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23591674-naughty-bedtime-stories?ac=1" target="_blank">Goodreads</a>, or jump over to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PKL1Q8E?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B00PKL1Q8E&linkCode=xm2&tag=sabsadvinrea-20" target="_blank">Amazon</a> to take a peek.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sooo.... Having a full time job, two kids, a husband that has full time job too, very little family (actually none) to get help from, writing and making jewelry... My blog has suffered. My priorities have changed since I started this blog. I really don't have the time to run a full time blog on my own anymore.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So.. In the time to come you will begin to see changes. Changes that will make this not only my home away from home, but my place as an author as well.<br />
There will still be reviews, interviews, cover reveals and lots of other stuff, but on a smaller scale. You will begin to see more personal blog posts from me.<br />
<br />
It's a new year, a new adventure and I'm hoping you will follow me on my journey!<br />

WARNING: If you haven’t read Angels Dawn do NOT read Fight for Dawn! This is NOT a stand alone!<br />
<br />
That said, I can move onto the review….<br />
Fight for Dawn takes off right where we left her in Angels Dawn. Broken hearted, a mess, lonely and… well Dawn is devastated. She lost…. Everything in one night, and in real life, you can’t press a button a restart the game. It goes on even if you feel you can’t move along with it. That’s how Dawn feels like.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Dawn’s mother insists that she has to go to Italy, just like they had planned, and so she does. But Italy has more to offer than meets the eye and soon Dawn finds herself smiling again, but will it last, or will Gabe’s secret break her too?<br />
<br />
It is clear to see/feel from the beginning that Komali has a tight grip on this story, the flow she found in her story telling from the end of Angels Dawn has definitely found its way to Fight for Dawn and it is a pleasure to read!!<br />
<br />
Komali dishes up with new surprises and twists in her plot that you still don’t see coming. The characters are a delight to read, and I giggled more than once due to Dawn and Gabe.<br />
<br />
Komali also broke my heart. No, I won’t tell why. Or how. That will be too spoilerish, and I don’t do that. Just be prepared to bring the tissues forth, fair warning.<br />
<br />
As much as I enjoyed Angels Dawn, I adore Fight for Dawn. Komlai truly shows how much she has grown as an author and her potential is absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to read the conclusion to this exciting trilogy!!<br />

She should've known better than to hope her life could be normal after losing her best friend Nate. It’s hard enough to deal with the loss but now she “sees” him everywhere. Add that to meeting Gabe, the new guy who sends her heart racing and Dawn is certainly spinning. It’s almost enough to make her forget the demons that lurk in the shadows.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately the many distractions aren’t enough to purge Angelo from her broken heart. Her hopes of ever being with him again have been dashed. He’s moving farther away and there is nothing she can do to stop it. <br />
<br />
Soon the demons Dawn wanted to forget about will remind her of their presence and she’ll have to abandon everything else. Not only is her life in danger, but the lives of everyone around her as well.<br />

Dawn is a normal girl with ordinary dreams; her sweet sixteen birthday is coming up and all she want is… well, what any sixteen girl want ;-)<br />
<br />
As it is…. Her birthday party turns out to be very different than what she expected it to be. Not only does Dawn witness a crime, but without thought she stands up against the bad guys, only to find herself on the receiving end of their treatment instead.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Fate have other plans however and somehow Dawn is saved before it turns to worse, but she has no memory of that night. She has a suspicion that the new boy in school, Angelo, might had a finger in it, but no proof.<br />
Before Dawn knows it, she is falling for Angelo, but will his secret drive her away, or make their connection stronger?<br />
<br />
There are many wonderful things about Angels Dawn; friendship, love, paranormal elements, hurt, suspense.. I could go on. The plot is good, there are surprises in there that you didn’t see coming. Yes, the main plot is used a lot in all kinds of books, but yet Komali manages to add to it so you don’t get stuck in it.<br />
<br />
I have to say though that there are some things that gets too repetitive in Angels Dawn, and it frustrated me. It also felt to me like Komali was struggling to find the right path, the right voice in the story, but once she truly found it… omg… Freaking amazing. The characters come alive, becomes a part of you and when the book ends you want to hurl it into the nearest wall because it just can’t end there. No way in hell.<br />
<br />
So… If you love YA, true love, Paranormal creatures – you definitely should try out Angels Dawn. I know I don’t regret it.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Dawn Huntington wants what every girl wants, a sweet sixteen birthday party with her friends, family, and some hot boys, but fate has other plans. On the night of Dawn's sixteenth birthday, she witnesses a crime she can't turn her back on, and the decisions she makes that night will change her life forever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Never having been confronted with such violence, Dawn turns to a mysterious and beautiful boy named Angelo, only she can't remember what happens that night. To make things more complicated, Dawn is in a relationship with Angelo's complete opposite, Nate. Dawn doesn't want to hurt Nate, yet she can't shake her feelings for Angelo, even when she can't help but feel he's hiding something from her, and it could be something dark. Why is Angelo acting so weird around Bonita? Are they together? Are they really only friends?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Angelo may be trouble, but Dawn can't ignore her feelings for him. Dawn is at a crossroads. Should she choose love? Or friendship? Once Dawn finally finds the courage to choose, she thinks the drama is over. But Dawn wasn't expecting her choices to have such dire consequences. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Do you believe in love at first sight? But can one trust someone blindly? Can love overcome all the obstacles?</div>

Kalypso is supposed to be on assignment for the master of the hellhounds, Alkaios. Instead, she has been dragged into another incident by Valdimir and Fane. She arrives on the scene just after the action has ended. Stemming her vexation, she helps heal the injured Radek, Val’s son. Kalypso is forced to yet again clean up one of their messes.<br />
<br />
She finds her friends have been keeping a deadly secret. Her heart is crushed when the worst should happen. The lives of those she cares about are all on the line. Vengeance will be had. Kalypso is forced to work with the one she vowed never to work with again. It requires her to open herself up in a way she never has before. Will she admit to the love that dwells in her heart? Will they all meet their demise?<br />

OMG, where to start?!<br />
<br />
First of all, I was insanely lucky to be a beta for Mariana on Seizing Shadows, so I got to see this book evolve. That said, Mariana is one of the rare kinds of authors who manages to surprise me over and over again in the best way.<br />
<br />
Seizing Shadows is the second book in Mariana’s Fur, Fangs and Fairies series, and to me it is just as good as Seizing Darkness. Why? Here’s a few reasons:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Seizing Darkness and Seizing Shadows are intertwined which gives you several POV of the same scenes and adds information – small details that might not mean something right then, but in the long run…. I love that, always have, always will.</li>
<li>Kalypso is… plain awesome. She’s been alive for centuries, which has lead to her tucking away her emotions to get by. She’s a kick ass, sword wielding Enforcer for Alkaios, the master of the hellhounds. She’s used to be obeyed, basically been a God once, she speaks a bit outdated (which is sooo cool), rarely curses, and is wicked smart. I love her. She’s amazing.</li>
<li>Fane.... Oy... I have no words!!!</li>
<li>We get to see more to Val, Radek, Nat and Dante, and I can’t express how good it feels to read about them again. Even if…. Oh, wait…. That’s a spoiler…. Never mind….</li>
<li>Seizing Shadows is fast paced, a roller coaster on your emotional range and it rips up in old wounds and ancient secrets.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Just to name a few…. The end was a huuuge surprise to me, but Mariana caught me with her plot and her writing looong before that. She tucks small bit of information into her story that you might not notice, but when you get the bigger picture, it all makes sense. I am curious to see what happens in the next book. One things for certain, Mariana Thorn is an auto buy for me, may it be her Fur, Fangs and Fairies series or her Skylar Wolf series.<br />

<i>“I am a phantom. Barely human with the duty to get rid of the possessed. That is why beings like me were created, why we were bred”</i><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
In a dying city filled with a deadly plague and even deadlier creatures, Déjà hides from a past drenched in blood and the only family she has ever known. She hates what she is and her cravings to spill fresh blood drives her away from anyone that gets too close. Living out her life wearing lace corsets and working in an underground nightclub keeps her secret from hurting others, until a bounty is placed on her head by a mystery benefactor.<br />
<br />
Now she is stalked by an assassin that threatens to steal her heart and discovering a family of powerful beings that hold the key to her past, Déjà has no choice but to embrace what she truly is in order to battle the secrets that the city holds within its shadows.<br />

The second installment picks up a few months later from Inheritance and a few hours’ drive down the interstate in Atlanta, GA. The book introduces Ryver Clayton, who was mentioned in the cliffhanger for Inheritance (NO SPOILERS HERE!). The book takes a much darker turn for the series but keeps the sarcastic banter that IS S.K. Whiteside. The book is being released early 2015 and the blurb is as follows:<br />
<br />
<i>Long live the days of medieval past; where kings and queens reign, Wizards are valued counsel, and witches are among the most feared.</i><br />
<i>However, this isn’t medieval Europe. This is Atlanta, Ga…</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>And Ryver Clayton is about to find out what happens when the most powerful wizard in history comes knocking at your door. Born of legend with gifts she doesn’t understand; Ryver is thrust into the middle of a centuries old battle that could tip the scale of an epic Immortal war.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>When legend clashes with legend, only the most powerful of blood can be born.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For years Leena has secretly been wishing that her boss would see her as more than an assistant. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When Nick’s current girlfriend dumps him right before Christmas, he sees no other option than to ask Leena if she wants to come with him to his family’s estate to celebrate the holiday with them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But Nick has an ulterior motive; to seduce his sexy assistant that he’s been secretly lusting after for years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Will Leena’s secret wish come true or will she burn her fingers on her office crush?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There’s something magical about Christmas for me, and I love the stories too. Truth be told, The Assistant’s Christmas Wish had everything I wanted and needed from a holiday tale; love, hope, the magic feeling of Christmas, heartache, confusion and an ending I absolutely love.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lexi has written a story that made me devour it, made my heart jump, made tears from laughter and sorrow running down my cheeks. She made me smile and lifted my heart, even better…. Lexi wrote a story that once I closed it, I felt content. Everything in this story played well together, I loved the surprises and twists she had put in and I felt it was a perfect ending (although to be fair, I would like to read more about the family). I can’t describe it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Did I curse at Leena and all the others along the way? Yup. Did I see who she would end up with? Uhmm… Yeah. Did I hope she would end up with him? Hell yes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are TONS I could tell you about this book, but in the end, this comes down to how I felt when closing the book. Which was amazing and with a goofy smile on my lips.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Assistant’s Christmas Wish is a perfect Christmas story and makes me want to re-read it (which we rarely have time for as bloggers) and to check out Lexi’s other releases.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Leena has been in love with her boss, Nick DeMarco, for almost eight years. But he's never given her any indication that she was special to him. Their relationship was close, but rarely outside of a business function. So when he invites her to be his fake girlfriend at his family's Christmas week she is thrilled and ready to show Nick just what he's missing out on, her only wish for the Christmas season.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nick wouldn't admit it to anyone except his brother, but his assistant Leena is the only woman he's had feelings for in quite some time. He didn't want to seem like a powerful boss trying to seduce his employee so he had ignored his desire for her for the past five years. When the opportunity to take her to his family's chalets opens he takes it, intent on seducing her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When things begin to heat up with Leena and Nick, both are pleasantly surprised. But a winter storm traps them in the chalet just as Nick's older brother Jake arrives. When he makes no attempt to hide his attraction to Leena the whole vacation becomes heated. What will happen when the storm lifts, will the assistant have gotten a her Christmas wish?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lexi Ostrow has been in love with the written word since second grade when her librarian started a writing club. Born in sunny southern California she's spent time in various places across the country and can't wait to settle down somewhere in the French Quarter when she's able too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lexi has been a writer ever since the second grade in some form or another. Getting her degree in creative writing and her master's in journalism she couldn't wait to get a chance to put her fantasies down on paper. Her debut novel, Torn Between Two Worlds is something that was simmering in her mind since middle school and she's so grateful to put it out into the literary world. From paranormal romance to thriller there isn't a genre she doesn't love to spend her time reading or writing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Reading and writing are her first loves but her passion for shopping, love for yummy food and her love for all her many pets. She hopes to one day help other readers fall in love with writing as she did.</span><br />
